The year-over-year inflation rate was recorded by Statistics Canada at 7.0 per cent in August, marking the second consecutive month inflation in the country has slowed. Statistics Canada says declining gas prices have largely driven the slowdown. Gas prices were down 9.6 per cent from July, but are still up 22.1 per cent compared to this time last year. Saskatchewan and Alberta saw the largest gas price decreases in the country. Excluding gasoline prices, year-over-year inflation was recorded at 6.3 per cent, making August the first month since June 2021 where annual inflation has slowed. The good news was offset by the higher food bills Canadians continue to pay. Grocery prices are up 10.8 per cent compared to 2021. That marks the highest rate the country has seen since 1981. Extreme weather, the war in Ukraine and supply chain disruptions are the main factors according to the national number-crunching agency. Canadians are paying 6.5 per cent more for meat and 7.0 per cent extra for dairy products. Bakery products are costing 15.4 per cent more, fresh fruit is up 13.2 per cent, non-alcoholic beverages are 14.1 per cent more expensive, and condiments, spices and vinegars are up 17.2 per cent compared to this time last year.

The SoundSticks 4 offers some design changes over earlier iterations, particularly to the subwoofer, which has a cleaner, sleeker look without the plastic funnel inside. The SoundSticks 4 are rated for 140 watts of power -- the SoundSticks 3 were rated for 40 watts. Also, Bluetooth connectivity now comes standard (with the SoundSticks 3, there was a step-up model you had to buy to get Bluetooth). The speaker comes in two color options -- one with white trim and one with black. The system is a little more compact than you'd think seeing some of the pictures, and it does deliver strong sound with bass that will rattle a table at higher volumes if you leave the sub on your desk (the sub is actually slightly smaller at 5.25 inches compared to 6 inches for the SoundSticks 3). From what I remember of the SoundSticks 3, this new model does sound fuller.
Before a display is designed, the task that the display is intended to support must be defined (e.g., navigating, controlling, decision making, learning, entertaining, etc.). A user or operator must be able to process whatever information a system generates and displays; therefore, the information must be displayed according to principles to support perception, situation awareness, and understanding. Christopher Wickens et al. 13 principles of display design in their book An Introduction to Human Factors Engineering. These principles of human perception and information processing can be utilized to create an effective display design. A reduction in errors, a reduction in required training time, an increase in efficiency, and an increase in user satisfaction are a few of the many potential benefits that can be achieved by utilizing these principles. Certain principles may not apply to different displays or situations. Some principles may also appear to be conflicting, and there is no simple solution to say that one principle is more important than another.
