The Growing Economy of Ghana.

Ghana is the fastest growing economy in the world in 2010, I felt this was news worthy because most people would expect that to be China, which is it is the fastest growing large economy.

Ghana is normally seen as a very poor country and has very little news coming out of it, I thought that people would be interested in knowing that it is the fastest growing economy in the world with an average increase of 20.3% this year alone.

I got the story from http://www.economywatch.com and the statistics from The international monetary fund website, using google docs to create the graph.

(If the graph doesn't work, please use firefox.)

Preston Flag Market.

I took this picture on wonderfully dreary and grey Preston day. Using the highest resolution my small and frankly technologically inept camera, I climbed the steps of the war memorial and bathed in the scorn from geriatric veterans snapped this picture. 

flag market thumbnail.

Using GIMP, and totally not a version of Photoshop I illegally downloaded, I scaled the Image down to a 100x100 pixel thumbnail.

That picture again only now 400 x 300 pixels

If you are thinking that this picture is the same as the first picture, you're wrong, It's only 400 by 300 pixels large and I cropped the edge slightly.

The war memorial.

This picture I like to call Slinky-Linky Horrible Shape, on account of it's slinky-linky horrible shape. Very few things from my original picture fit this size of picture without looking distorted and strange, so I settled for a picture of the Flag Market World War One Memorial cropped slightly.
