What a great meeting - all but 2 Groups were represented at the recent Group Presidents Forum held at Jones the Grocer in Newmarket, Auckland.
Thank you to all who took the time to attend. It was very interesting to go around the room and hear what everyone thought their main benefit was of being an AAPNZ member...
If someone had told me ten years ago that I would gain a Diploma in Business Administration, I would have guffawed at the thought. Gosh, they were talking to someone who hadn’t done any form of study for over 20 years, thinking herself too old to go ‘back to school’. How wrong I was!
In 1971 I left secondary school, intending to work for a year to earn some money so I could go to training college in Auckland to become a commercial teacher, as they were known in those days, teaching shorthand/typing. However, for a number of reasons, this dream never eventuated. However, over my many successful years of working in top-flight administrative positions, I had always held the hope that one day I would achieve a tertiary qualification.
As the recipient of the AAPNZ Doreen Smart Scholarship in 2009 I felt honoured. I had applied for several scholarships through the university process for support in undertaking my thesis research and had not received any of them. It felt so good to be valued by my peers.
JPEG (also JPG) compresses your image to hide parts of the image that your eyes can't tell the difference between but causes the image to change slightly, depending on the compression. Images that have lots of complexity in them with similar colours throughout are good for this format. Good for website use
PNGsupports a wider range of formats from 8 bits per pixel to 24 bits per pixel. These are the mostly used today due to its flexibility and compression. So even if you enlarge it, it retains its original frame. Can be used for anything exclude web.
