In my years at IBM and now at Columbus Collaboratory, I have been asked to build internal programs, software products, marketing organizations and many other forms of business capabilities. The work has been for organizations that range from three employees up to a million employees across a range of industries and maturities. Despite this wide variation, the pattern is simple and repeatable: establish a goal, define agnostic metrics, baseline, invest, measure, and then repeat. The act of establishing agnostic measures doesn't create maturity, but it establishes visibility and quantifiable evidence for trending and comparison on the path to maturity. Ohio's Legal Safe Harbor law establishes agnostic measures through ratified cybersecurity frameworks and encourages firms to invest, measure, and mature to meet their specific firm's cybersecurity objectives.
In August, when the Ohio state senate enacted SB220 — the Legal Safe Harbor law providing protections for those firms implementing cybersecurity programs — it appeared on the surface to take a different approach to security than many other US states. Year to date many states including California, Arizona, Virginia and more have joined their counterparts¹ in crafting or updating legislation that explicitly addresses consumer data protections and breach notification requirements. So why does Ohio's law, that will go into effect in November², focus on business protections instead?
At its core, SB220 outlines necessary conditions that an Ohio-based firm must have to mount a defense again tort claims brought by individuals whose information was the subject of a data breach. In spirit, however, this legislation's intention is to provide an incentive for firms across all industries — not just those who submit to previously established cybersecurity compliance frameworks — to establish and strengthen their security programs with three effects:
So yes: SB220 establishes legal protections for corporations in the state of Ohio in the event of a data breach, but that is the carrot. The stick that will improve consumer protections, in the face of increasing threats, is compelling businesses to level up their cybersecurity best practices. Every Ohio firm will benefit from a review of current policies and practices and prioritizing where to invest in effort, resources, and technologies to affect a compliant cybersecurity framework. Here's some guidance on what you should do, whatever the state of maturity of your policies and procedures today:
There is a right-sized solution for any sized organization and the degree of risk that you can bear. The Columbus Collaboratory has been partnering with clients to evaluate their operations, the sensitivity of the information that they process in the normal course of doing business, and the application of expertise, best practices and technology to protect that information and defend against threats. The enactment of Ohio SB220 affords your business important legal protections is you do the right thing by your customers and their data. Let us help you take the first steps in levelling up your cybersecurity game and achieving not only compliance but peace of mind.

Well Done, Diane! The two merged beautifully into one... can't wait to see it in person.ReplyDelete
Love it! The little spring buds on the center trees really gives a sense of renewal. And the stripes surrounding the center remind me of all the colors that leaves go through in their "lifetime" from spring to fall. Great work!ReplyDelete
Wow, that came together just beautifully! I love you your tree print, it transcends so many settings!ReplyDelete
The strata piecing is lustrous, reminds me of alabaster. Beautiful work!ReplyDelete
I especially love the central panel -- what a masterpiece! You must have taken great pains to cut that stamp so beautifully -- the end result is wonderfully ethereal. Gorgeous!ReplyDelete

Diane, it's beautiful. The strata background really sets off the inner tree scene so well. And the purple is perfect.ReplyDelete

5 Online Tools Every Guitarist Needs
1. Ultimate Guitar
This was the one online tool I used right from the very beginning and still do use to this day. Whether you want to learn a song or brush up on your scales this website always has you covered. The website recently underwent a bit of a revamp and looks a lot better now in my opinion and is one of the most user-friendly websites out there for all you guitarists!
2. An Online Metronome
I would hope this one is an obvious choice for most guitarists, but if you are like me and chose to learn guitar via exercises or you are even learning a tricky part of a solo, you should always be playing along with a metronome. This will help you keep your accuracy and speed in check as well as providing an easy way to speed up your playing. All you need to do is type online metronome on google search and anything on the first page of Google is generally a good choice, with our favourite being metronomeonline.com. Make sure to start at a low speed (around 100bpm) and work your way up from there.
3. YouTube:
You would all assume I add YouTube because of the online lesson content, however, I actually believe YouTube is a great tool because of the hundreds of readymade, free backing tracks available to the user. All you need to do is search a style and key and I guarantee there will be a backing track for you to jam along with, even if your tastes stretch to Acid Jazz….
One of the most useful videos you will keep going back to as a guitarist though is the plan simple standard tuning video!
4. Online Lessons
This is also something I think is very important going forward and in the next 10 years or so will take over the tuition market. There are many different ways you can take online lessons, this could be watching a video on YouTube or signing up for the hundreds of different lesson sites there are out there offering lessons from beginner to advanced. Recently taking lessons via Skype or FaceTime have also really been on the rise so this is also something to think about.
5. Access to some form of app store:
Essentially everything I previously mentioned can all be found on an app store as well as lots of other useful tools like tuners or backing tracks. Have a search and see what you can find! You will be surprised thenumbert of options there are for free!
Overall as a guitarist, I feel these days there isn't anything you can't find to aid your playing!
Book an online guitar lesson:
Learn to play the guitar with professional guitar teacher Owen Evans who offers Skype Guitar Lessons to students around the world.
Owen has many years teaching experience, helping students to learn the music that they inspired them – across a wide range of different musical genres.
To find out more about Owen's online guitar lessons, as well as to book your first lesson, don't hesitate to get in touch with him on [email protected].

The political debate about asset sales means that the imminent initial public offering of shares in Mighty River Power is getting a lot of attention. It will no doubt get people who have never invested in shares before thinking about doing so. For the novice shareholder, there are some tax issues to consider.
As a broad generalisation, it's likely that most private shareholders will hold the shares on capital account. If the shares are sold for a profit, it will generally be tax free. If they are sold for a loss, there will be no deduction allowed against other income. There are a couple of exceptions to this.
Firstly, if the shares are bought with the intention or purpose of selling them for a profit, then their sale will be taxable. A good example is where an investor looks to "stag" profits, buying shares with the intention of selling them quickly while the post-launch frenzy pushes the share price up. Of course, every investor will be hoping that they sell their shares one day for more than they paid. Such a vague, general objective is usually not enough in itself to make something taxable. But you can't have it both ways. In 1987, a lot of people who had been steadfastly claiming that the shares they had bought were all on capital account suddenly changed their minds when the market crashed.
Share sales are also taxable if the investor is in the business of dealing in shares. There are a number of tests for determining whether someone is "in business". They include the nature and extent of the activity, the number of transactions, the period the activity is carried on for and any statements made by the person. Generally, most private, individual investors will not be doing enough to be considered "in business". Some organisations offer systems that provide a computerised method of making numerous and frequent purchases and sales on various markets. One website states that "hundreds of New Zealanders…are currently enjoying a regular cash income on a monthly basis" from using their system. It is likely that such activity would fall into the taxable category.
For the "capital" investor, the main source of income from holding shares will be dividends. This is how companies distribute their earnings to shareholders. New Zealand is one of the few countries that still has an "imputation" system. A credit is able to be passed on to shareholders for tax paid by a company on the profits it distributes as dividends. The gross amount of the dividend is taxable to the shareholder at whatever their marginal rate of tax is, and credits are allowed for the imputation credits attached and any resident withholding tax deducted.
The total tax credits attached to dividends paid by a New Zealand company generally add up to 33%. An individual shareholder whose total income is less than $70,000, will generally be better off when such dividends are included in the tax return.
A deduction is generally also allowed for interest charged on money borrowed to acquire shares because they will be an income (dividend) producing asset. Case law has established that dividends don't necessarily have to be received in the year that interest is claimed as a deduction.
The structuring of share ownership should also be considered. Shares might be held personally, or jointly by a couple, or there may be reasons for favouring ownership by one person in a relationship rather than the other. Trustee shareholding might also be an option. Tax is not the only factor when making this decision; others such as asset protection and providing for family members are also relevant.
The rules for holding shares in foreign companies, especially those other than listed Australian resident companies, are quite different, and specialist advice should be sought.
None of this affects judgment calls about the merits (or otherwise) of investing in Mighty River Power, or any other shares. Potential investors should study the prospectus, take advice and make their own decisions.

Train Me Up MN
Improve your fitness by participating in the University of Minnesota/National Institute of Health TrainMeUp MN study!
The study investigates how exercise might alter fitness and improve metabolism before and after a running or yoga routine. The investigators are interested in how skeletal muscle processes fat and how this may affect insulin resistance. This is an important question since insulin resistance predates and predicts type 2 diabetes. The investigators are especially interested in learning about the effects of weight and training on insulin resistance.
Eligibility to participate
You may be eligible to participate in the TrainMeUp MN Study if you are:
- Between the ages of 18 – 40
- Generally healthy
- Overweight (BMI>25) and have no active exercise program (less than 30 min/week)
- Lean (BMI <25) and an active runner (45 min/day, 5 days per week)
What is involved in the Study?
Overweight participants will be
- Randomly selected to enter into either a treadmill training program or yoga program for 16 weeks at a local fitness center close to you.
- Asked to visit the University of Minnesota 8 times, to include
- 1 screening visit
- 3 pre-training visits
- 1 mid-training visit
- 3 post-training visits
- Pre- and post-training visits will measure fitness, body composition, muscle fat content (by needle sampling of the muscle) and the body's use of sugar and fat
- Expected participation is approximately 6 months
Lean participants will be
- Asked to visit the University of Minnesota 4 times, to include
- 1 screening visit
- 3 visits to assess metabolism
- Running capacity, body composition, muscle fat content (by needle sampling of the muscle) and the body's use of sugar and fat will be assessed
- Expected participation is approximately 3 months

In the wake of the nation's deadliest tornado outbreak in nearly six years, families across Alabama and Georgia are desperately searching for loved ones, shelter and food. While the devastation remains, Lowe's has turned its focus to helping the region get back on its feet.
So far, Lowe's stores have donated emergency supplies to fire stations in Lee County, Alabama and Harris County, Georgia. These donations are aimed at helping those in need and include generators, tarps, shop vacs, totes and trash bags.
"We have a big responsibility in these communities and it's been a huge response from everyone," said James Day, a Lowe's store manager in Columbus, Georgia. "Having Lowe's presence was a must and a small thank you for what these fire stations have done in each community."
Additionally, Lowe's is a proud member of the Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program. Through ongoing donations, Lowe's helps enable the Red Cross to prepare communities for disasters big and small, respond whenever and wherever disasters occur and help families during the recovery process. The Red Cross is providing food, support services, relief supplies and helping people in the region recover.
In 2018, Lowe's committed $4 million to disaster relief and rebuilding efforts. For more information on last year's relief efforts, click here.

Shared Resources
Shared resources refer to the condition that occurs when one component is asked to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. Each task a particular component performs drains a portion of that part's total resource and this is why we mentioned that quite often multiple processors or other components are used so that resources are not drained when trying to operate the DVR system at its maximum capacity. In some instances, regardless of how many components are used, the underlying technology is just not powerful enough to drive that many components on a single board or the technologies are not compatible and do not function properly. As an analogy, you can buy the latest Intel processor but only the newer motherboards are capable of handling its architecture. If you try to run the processor it may not function or only function at the maximum capacity of the older architecture. All the pieces have to be compatible.
Beware; manufacturers will quote a specification for their equipment at its "maximum" performance level, under ideal conditions.
The quoted specification usually assumes the components are doing nothing else at the same time, but rather a single, simple function and not sharing resources. Manufacturers will merely show you functions or features as a single task and not demonstrate the same across multiple channels, knowing that the quality or stability is not otherwise possible. Welcome to sleight of hand 101.
DVR's, encoders, decoders and servers are more often than not called upon to multitask. The problem is that not all hardware architectures and components are up to the task. The logical question would be why doesn't everyone just use the best and most powerful components? The answer comes back to what we stated above; the underlying architecture might be quite outdated and not compatible with the latest components. Some components don't work well with others even though each might be the best in their respective category.
What you may ask is the result of shared resources on the DVR? The answer is the same whether it's shared resources or bottlenecking, the most common problems are "dropped frames," choppy, robotic and poor quality recorded images. Which in some cases leads to significant instability and eventual failure as the system is running at 100% of capacity and still not keeping up.

What is an Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF)?
An OMF is where trains go for cleaning, storage and maintenance and operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Light rail can't operate effectively in the South Sound without an additional OMF in South King County. Finding sites is challenging, as Sound Transit requires at least 30 relatively flat acres (for reference, 1 football field is 1.3 acres) that are near an operating light rail line, with specific site conditions often pushing the acreage requirement higher.
One OMF currently exists in Seattle, and another facility is under construction in Bellevue. To accommodate additional vehicles for the future 116-mile voter-approved regional light rail system, the system requires an additional OMF in the South Sound and one in Sound Transit's North Corridor.

Defining the competencies without understanding the culture of the organization is likely to increase the risk of low performance. We accurately measure your organizational culture using a new culture framework based a current research project which is similar to Hofstede culture framework to understand the likelihood of the organizational unit under review has the highest chances of success or if changes are required. PMO and project teams are often international therefore a holistic view of the cultures must be understood to help optimize culture to ensure success. Once the culture assessment is completed recommendations are made with a change management plan.
Advisory Services
Organization cultural assessments will detail the culture types across the organization. Therefore, organizational relevance is across the whole organization. Doing a cultural assessment is strategic because there is little point of carryout out one unless there is a perception that the culture is not conducive to supporting the organizational goals. The value scale is dominated due to the factual understanding of the results that will come from the need to carry out this assessment as well as the actionable items that will result. Impact is show as 75% and not 100% because the actions will vary from organization to organization.
Its takes months to find the right people and even then, it can be hit or miss if that person is really the right long-term fit. IPMO Advisory trains hundreds of PMO and project professionals every year during which the trainers spend a considerable amount of time with professionals. We are often asked by attendees or professionals on consulting and advisory studies about new opportunities or vacancies that need to be filled. Having world-class experts in training, advisory and consulting we know the competencies required and the cultures of our clients.
We have a dedicated talent acquisition team that will help you fill your PMO and project talent needs from both a temporary and a permanent perspective.
Talent acquisition needs can be of a result of both strategic and tactical requirements therefore both ranks highly. The perceived value of talent is high and the complexity associated with defining and acquiring the right person/people is low. Talent acquisition is relevant for the whole organization at every level and the 'change management' impact is low as its associated with new additions of one or more people and not the complexity of introducing a new system.
Using the latest Principle Based Maturity Frameworks from APMO, IPMO Advisory applies its methodology and AIPMO frameworks to assesses the maturity of single, multi-PMOs.
Maturity assessments of project, program and portfolio environments can also be done using approaches such as PMI®'s OPM3® or the UK governments P3M3 and then the PMO combined assessment of PMOs can be integrated into the other maturity models' methods. A report will be produced with a maturity assessment including an action plan to address the shortfall and the steps required to move to the next maturity level.
Maturity benchmarking is driven from a strategic perspective to ensure that the strategy has a high probability of being successfully executed. It is very unlikely that maturity benchmarks are driving from a tactical need because the results would be predictable. The value of benchmarking an organization's project, program, portfolio and PMO environment(s) is high because of the information it provides, the proactiveness of the organization to have their organization measured and the results themselves. To carry-out benchmarking requires a lot of preparation and considered to which maturity model or models will be used. This is why the complexity scale is high along with how the benchmark is carried out and the results interpreted. It is easy to get results from the benchmarking but it also easy to recommend actions on individual results which may be symptoms to a root cause and not the root cause itself. Also, a number of published maturity models are flawed therefore giving ambiguous results. Depending on the type of maturity assessment and the model(s) used will influence organizational relevance. It is unlikely that an organizational-wide maturity assessment will be done due to the complexity, cost and potential lack of appropriate maturity models that have this scope.
Governance impacts both the selection and evolution of your project and PMO methodologies which in turn impact project, program and portfolio success.
There are four types of governance paradigms which can impact your PMOs and projects in different ways, some positive and some more negative. Using the governance research and publications from Professor Ralf Müller and Professor Robert Joslin a governance assessment can be made to determine if the present governance paradigm is best suited to your environment. Your governance management plan will be reviewed to understand how you implement governance in PMOs and projects and your governance practices reviewed. Any shortfalls in document, content, and controls will be highlighted and an action plan put into place.
Governance assessments can be called as both a result of strategy execution as well as for tactical reasons. They are complex in nature because the understanding of what exists may not be documented and/or up to date and understood. Also, governance practices which are the implemented governance will likely be reflected in one or more systems.Once transparency exists, then an assessment can start. Governance assessments can be scoped in different ways, such as within an organizational unit, a process, a project or an application. It is likely the change impact will be substantial because of the change of systems, documentation and training required for larger scope assessments.
Using AIPMO's Business Case maturity Assessment model organizes business case methodology, templates and practices can be an assessment with recommendations on how to improve the business case maturity level.
Business Case Maturity Assessments as with any maturity assessments are driven mostly from a strategic execution perspective. The objective is to ensure the way in which business cases are created, monitored, updated and then finally reviewed against outcome is both robust and efficient. It is also likely that problems are identified resulting from audits or reviews which could trigger a business case maturity assessment to understand how sever are the problems against an accepted benchmark. The value of business case maturity assessment is very high because of the importance of identifying flaws in the business case process. The complexity of the maturity assessment is greatly influenced if the business case process is embedded in more of more systems. The change impact is relatively low as the majority of organizations use documents (Excel and Word) to develop business cases, but for the organizations who have automated their business case development the change impact will be higher.
Using strategy frameworks that have been developed and integrated into the AIPMO organizational Design Framework, IPMO will support your organizational design initiative to ensure it is strategically aligned and robust. Using IPMO Advisory's consulting framework a target operating model will be developed which can include the project, program, portfolio operating model as well as the PMO topologies and PMO services topology.
Figure x: PMO Advisory Consulting framework to design Target Operating Models
Organizational design and Implementation is more likely to be driven from a strategic initiative unless there are obvious operational issues, or PPP /PMO related issues. Smaller reorganizations are likely to happen within a team, project or department which will have a high change impact but within a localized environment.
The approach to training and timing of training is linked to organizational success. However, if done the wrong way it has little value, and the worse case will distract people from other important time-intensive activities. IPMO Advisory are experts in capability and capability building of which training is a part of the big picture. IPMO Advisory will use its training need determination methodology to identify immediate and long-term training requirements.
Training needs determination is more tactical in nature as issues arise or a new project or budget is available therefore a structured understanding is required of how best to invest in training that pays off. The value of training needs determination is high because of both the perceived value of carrying out this exercise and the actual value. The complexity of training needs is medium due to the need to assess the projects, programs, portfolio and PMO staff, the portfolio of projects and the competencies of the individuals, so training is carried out at the optimal time. Note: if a person is trained too early, he/she is likely to forget 70% of the information within a week. The scope of training is more likely to be divisional/departmental and the change impact is low as it impacts the individuals understanding and less so the processes or systems.

Clipboard & Font on Evernote Android
Zahr posted a topic in Evernote for AndroidEverything's good, except the one and only Evernote Android thing that drives me nuts: Clipboard is inaccessible in the note making, unless you access it somewhere else, like, in the note title field. Evernote used to support this thing. Why would Evernote remove this? It's been a long time, and I decided to write this because I'm so fed up with doing this inefficient exercise: Wandering back and forth only to access and edit my recent contents of the clipboard, which contains way too much of copies to paste. Not to mention, those copies mostly have its font styles, meanwhile Evernote Android has no font styles, nor sizes. I know both Evernote Microsoft and Web are flawless, but does Evernote really expect us to carry PC everywhere we go? I wanted to write a feedback to Evernote, but Evernote has no contact for feedbacks. There's one more good example of different font styles and sizes on Evernote Android, but these attachments, already reached the upload limit, so bear with me. Thank you.
Annoying Reminders
Alfonso83 posted an idea in General Feature RequestsHello, Just would like to request the feature of being able to decide whether a reminder should be eliminated or not when is market as done. At the moment if you mark it like done, basically stays there with the rest of your notes... This is ANNOYING. I know I can have as many notes as I want, but I don't want to have notes of a title "call mom" repeating over and over next to actual useful ones. Thanks.
October 2017 Survey is broken
jcw_ posted a topic in Evernote General DiscussionsSurvey promoted in the recent email with subject "Help us improve Evernote" is broken. Here's the email I wish I could have sent back to the originators: Hello - I would like to help by completing this survey. I get a few questions in, and then it says to wait while I am redirected. 1. the redirect link has a typographical error which prevents me from continuing. 2. if I try to correct the obvious error (missing a : between http and //), I get "http://dkr1.ssisurveys.com/projects/end?rst=3&psid= " Unfortunately an error has occurred. We apologise for the inconvenience. Since the from: address is unmonitored, I figured I could send feedback through a web page. No dice. That led me here. ...bending over backwards for you folks and probably putting waaay to much effort into this.
Hi everyone, I wonder if there is a way to turn off the feature in which Evernote Web prompt a link for me to click on whenever my mouse is hovering over the text that is embedded of that link. If there is no way to turn it off yet, I will create a product feedback. This feature really annoys me when I have many nearby texts that contain link. The link boxes keep prompting and I cannot work with my note. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, I will update with a screenshot. Thank you!
Evernote Formatting
Matt C. posted a topic in Evernote General DiscussionsI am a huge fan of Evernote and have been since I first started using it two years ago. However, one of my main issues with the product (across all platforms, but primarily on PC) is with the poor formatting capabilities of the product. I especially have issues with properly formatting outlined lists (i.e. when I want a multi-level outline: I. -> A. -> 1. -> i. ...) This is particularly an issue when I want to draft work emails in evernote, which I think Evernote could be the perfect tool for. Am I missing something, or is this a problem that a lot of other people are having? Evernote team: Keep up the great work! I would love to hear about how you guys are thinking about this issue? Thanks! Matt
Reset Check-boxes
Dusch4593 posted an idea in General Feature RequestsI have a suggestion for how using check-boxes can be more handy. Check lists are important for me because there are always those critical, "must do", tasks to complete on a (sometimes) daily basis. So naturally, after I complete a task I check off the check-box that correlates with that task. Here's my issue: why isn't there a button or option to reset the check-boxes from "checked" to "unchecked"? This would come in handy with a chore list or a shopping list.
First of all, I am going to start by saying I used to LOVE evernote. I have used it since it first appeared (oh so many years ago), have always been a PRO user, have a few thousand notes in 60 or so notebooks. Recently, I have found myself using Evernote less and less, and I thought I would provide feedback to Evenote in case it helps them in the future. These are the reasons why I am starting to STOP using evernote (and will most likely move my notes elsewhere in the near future and cancel my service): 1) The web login screen. I find the full screen animation really annoying - its massive bandwidth, does nothing to tell new users what Evernote is, makes it hard to see what I am doing - clean is simple. IF I wanted to see a movie, I would go to a cinema. 2) I am a user, I dont want to hunt for a LOGIN button every time. The initial prompts l(user ID and pasword) make it look like a login, but its a signup form. It used to be signin form, and "New User?" link. Hate I am less important that a new user 3) Everything is SOooooo slow now. After I logged in on the web, it took 26 seconds to load up my Evernote page. A sync on Evernote GUI app took 59 seconds. My web acess here is 80mb (fiber) so my internet is not the problem. Its really annoying to wait so long to do anything 4) The Windows GUI is awful. It has been awful since you got rid of the old interface and went to the flat look a couple of years back. Its hard to find anything (unclear where you should be looking), its full of useless information (those tiles of unuseful information) and the scroll bars are a joke - so thin you cant actually use them and the display of where you are in the scroll bar is very light grey on silver. Awful, awful, awful 5) The Windows GUI and the web interface of notebooks does not remember when folders are closed - I have folders in folders in folders - and every time I have to manual close them all again to see what I am doing. It used to remember. 6) The searching in the web version of Evernote is awful. So as an example - I have in my many notebooks, a notebook called "SQL Server", so I quick the notebooks icon, and it lists my notebooks, I go down to SQL Server, have a look around, need to find a note in SQL... there is no search facility other than the search icon on the tool panel on the left. I click it - where does it search? EVERYWHERE. Oh, there is a pull down of where to search, so I use the pulldown and there are two options down... ALL notebooks or my last recent notebook... which is not SQL. There is no way (or no clear way) of searching within a specific notebook. Evernote used to be about quick access, easy to save notes, and most importantly, easy to find notes. It now seems more about functions we dont need (does anybody actually use the evernote chat???) and finding some quickly is a nightmare. Its more an un-productivity tool. Please, stop trying to be clever - stop trying to add new features, stop trying to 'out feature' the other tools out there. Get back to basics - be quick, useable, the best note store and pickup facility you can be. Please! (I will be adding to this as I think of more things)
Love Evernote, not interested in the competition thanks to your ability to cater to my needs quite intuitively without me having to think of options i might need myself in keeping my notes/admin but 1 feedback hard to find in trying to provide my feedback I had to search and user between 10-20 clicks to be able to come here and provide my feedback It might be an idea to provide a quick feedback option in a more centrally available place in the evernote personal environment. 2 link text in note creates hovering box when cursor flyover, very annoying when i put an http address link in a note, whenever i hover cursor over it, a floating box appears with the link repeated a bit under the original link text. When i have other text or space underneath it that I actually wanted to reach with my cursor, it becomes very annoying that I have to keep away with my mouse or try to avoid hovering over the link text in the first place, making it a real hassle to work efficiently within the note whenever I have a link text or more copied in it. 3 link warning for leaving evernote unnecessary in new tab on top, when i click on the link, it takes me to a new tab telling me i'll be leaving evernote, well, duh, why would i mind that in a new tab in the first place, that is fair warning if meant leaving my note environment, but that's still available in the original tab, so that also is unnecessary and creates extra clicks/actions. Thanks for taking note
Add Back and Forward option on note
123Kai321 posted an idea in Evernote for Android RequestsHello Right now there is no option to go back if you accidentally delete some words on note. Evernote is a note taking app and adding a feature where you can go back and undo your mistakes would be nice as almost every other note taking app has this feature. Thank you
Hi, First of all, I was not really sure where to put this post up, as my experience involves multiple platforms and multiple types of usage for Evernote. If the moderators feel that this post belongs to some other section, then please feel free to move it to an appropriate section. Secondly, I'm an Evernote Basic user since late 2012, and have upgraded to Premium this year. I have used Evernote in Android and Windows for basic note taking, writing stories, as a document repository, and some PIM. I really like the concept behind Evernote, and how good it is at executing some of those. It is indeed one of the most complete and reliable tools of its kind. However, lately I have been noticing that the usability and reliability of Evernote has taken a serious hit on multiple fronts. 1. As a writing app - editor issues on my Moto G 2nd generation (running Android 6.0) Since the introduction of the new editing interface (around 7.9.3 - 7.9.4), longer notes (15 KB or more, plaintext) are a pain to edit on my phone. I have updated the app to the latest version (7.9.6), and the issue still persists. The editor is barely responsive and taps and swipes get registered after a noticeable lag. It is not an issue with the phone, as other apps like MS Word work as those should. Also, as the note size increases, the performance degrades proportionately. I have raised a ticket with the support team regarding this, without a resolution. I won't say the support team is not responsive, they do try to help, but they haven't been able to replicate the issue, let alone finding the root cause. After attempts at replicating the issue for a month or more, the issue is currently pending with the development team for the last 20+ days, without a response. My gut feeling is that the editor was not optimized for older phones before the rollout. 2. All types of usage affected by syncing issues on every platform I have difficulty coming to terms with the fact that none of the Evernote installations can be trusted to sync properly. Some days back, one of the notebooks appeared to contain 2 notes on my phone, but on opening, only one was visible (and all other clients and web version showed one). On one of my laptops, one notebook seemed to contain 8 notes, whereas from all other clients 15 notes were visible. And to fix these issues, I had to delete the database from the Windows client and rebuild the Evernote database. Similarly for the phone. The major problem is, you never know when your database is corrupted, unless you keep on checking the note counts and the notes on every client. And to top this off, the web version shows that my trash contains 2 notes (other clients show trash is empty) - neither has a name and no content is visible. I'm wary to raise a support ticket, as again they won't be able to replicate this. Make no mistake, Evernote is still a great product, but it needs to get the basics right (those were right before, which is all the more disheartening). I'm not even demanding for features I'd love to see, but give us a working note taking/writing/filing tool which syncs well with the cloud. Please. Regards, Sandipan
Button to mass collapse/expand for tags (feedback)
adt posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsI use the database daily, and have a massive amount of tags to allow for cross-referencing research. The tags are tiered from what would effectively be a macro to a micro tag, sometimes 3 tiers deep (e.g. Banks -> Bank of Canada -> Stephen Poloz). I collapse the tags to try to make what I'm looking at more efficient, but am constantly plagued by what I'd amount to either poor planning or a glitch. I am not sure exactly what I do (or evernote does) to cause this, but my collapsed tags frequently all expand as I open the 'tag' homepage. I think it may occur when I tag search, back out of a tag search, or perhaps when I change a tag. If I've collapsed things on the full 'tag' landing page, they should stay collapsed unless I actually open them. This should be regardless of whether you show me search results with the tags fully expanded. The search should reveal all the information, but my 'tag' homepage should be cleaner than that. In the immediate though, a very pleasant and quick patch would be a button or +/- or something allowing to expand/collapse all tags. That way any time I either a) want to see everything or b ) don't want to see everything/see only my top tier tags (both options could be really important), I can quickly click one single thing instead of having to scroll through pages of tags and having to go through the ridiculous activity of collapsing everything.
mac Evernote for Mac 6: Context Feedback
Jackolicious posted a topic in Mac ArchivesHi everybody! We just launched an incredible new premium feature called Context. Context surfaces relevant content at the times you need it most. It displays related notes, people and high-quality articles based on intelligent indexing of your notes. As an Evernote Premium subscriber, you get (what is usually costly) relevant content for free from sources like the Wall Street Journal and more. Here are two important facts: 1. Your data is private We never send your content outside of Evernote. All of our clever matching happens within Evernote with data provided to Evernote by our partners (like WSJ). We do not monetize your data or your clicks. Context is not advertising. We are providing premium content to our subscribers for free. Context stays true to our 3 Laws of Data Protection. 2. You can turn Context off If you want to turn it off, you can easily do so from the Preferences in Evernote for Mac. We love using Context and hope you'll enjoy it too! Get the latest version from http://evernote.com/download
I just tried to leave feedback about file upload from iOS, and it was so tough that I'm instead suggesting an easier way to leave feedback. Seriously, you have to make an account on forums to leave feedback? On evernote Web, in the user's dropdown menu there are options for account settings, help&support, contact support (which doesn't actually let you contact suport on basic accounts, that's some pretty awful UX), and log out. There should also be one for 'suggestions'. It should link to a place where you can leave tagged general suggestions. The UX and PM people at Evernote should have direct access to what lands there. For example, I could say: ----------- In iOS, when uploading files for instance from the Voice Memos app, it appears to have worked, but when I go to Evernote Web in a browser it appears not to have worked, as no note is present. This seems horribly buggy. If you wait long enough, you find it just didn't have any upload progress indicator to let you know how long it would be. If, while you were waiting, you tried again, for example on a 15MB file, you will eventually find that it worked, but you wasted a weeks worth of Evernote Basic data upload allocation due to the double upload. That's really awful UX. Whenever a freemium service at the free tier does not provide the full free tier services, it makes me want to do the opposite of upgrading. It makes me want to migrate out to something else. If instead of the dialog closing when the upload begins, it should give a progress bar and a 'close and continue upload in background' button or something. Tags: Upload, upload status, UX, usability, Visibility of system status, Error prevention, Help users recover from errors ------------ Then your UX people can read my suggestion, and attempt to figure out exactly what I was trying to accomplish and why it didn't work out for me. They can get as deep in my head as they like about what different parts of my process made me feel. If you have an email address field that says "please leave your email address so our UX people can learn more about what you were trying to accomplish (optional)", they can even ask me. Then they can come up with some ways to serve my needs, pick one, and implement it. Trust me. I work in a big software company that has these issues too, and as a UX person it would make my life much easier and my company's product much better to have this suggestion box or something like it. Make that pathway.
Suggestion to Improve Evernote Suggestions
johnm243 posted a topic in Evernote General DiscussionsI have been an Evernote Premium client for many years now. I have made many suggestions through Customer Service and some in the forums also. But nothing seems to be done about my suggestions (I just added a note to a questions about page numbering in footers that I made exactly 3 years ago!!!). I had an issue with Hootsuite recently and, after tech support resolved it, I suggested that they make a change in their help files and better explain the particular procedure. The Hootsuite CSR pointed me to the Hootsuite suggestions page, where I made my suggestion very quickly. Someone replied back that it was easily done and would be taken care of after the holidays. Anyone who goes to the Hootsuite suggestions forums (https://feedback.hootsuite.com/forums/40182--hootsuite-com-web-dashboard) will see that thousands of suggestions have been made! And some of the suggestions have thousands of votes and hundreds of comments! Hootsuite uses UserVoice for suggestions. Evernote should consider using UserVoice or similar for suggestions as well: by letting Evernote know what is important to the user base, I think it will really enhance the engagement level of Evernote users! Hope someone at Evernote listens to this! Thanks, John
Firefox Feedback to Clipper at Firefox
Malificius posted an idea in Web Clipper RequestsHi, I use the Evernote Clipper since years and love this feature! Sadly it doesn´t work usefull since firefox need a certification for addons! Cause every time i open it i have to fix it again. So please, is it possible you get this certification for your product? I also tried to evade this problem by using the about:config and xpinstall settings of firefox. but that also didn´t work for me. Your addon was befor so much timesaveing and usefull to me, i wish it become this again. By the way i think it´s also in your interrest cause your great feature already drops down to 2 stars at firefoxs customer rating, only of the fact that lost its advantage! thx Malificius
Print Font Size
Rxharris posted a topic in Evernote for WindowsI ran into a simple problem when trying to print. I was unable to change the font size or style. I tried to change but it did not take. Nothing in the help function and no way to provide feedback to the developer. Find the product very valuable but.... need to get info.
IdeaPlaces - A new way to explore and use Evernote
radico posted a topic in Evernote IntegrationsHello Evernote users! Announcement: We are excited to be featured in the Evernote AppCenter Travel section and Top #50 Productivity in the US & Canadian iOS AppStores. Ways to get the iOS app worldwide: 1. http://ideaplaces.com/download 2. Search "Ideaplaces" in the Apple app store. We have been working incredibly hard to build a new iOS app called IdeaPlaces. It provides a new way to use Evernote by linking your notes to locations on a map and providing a way to explore them visually. As Evernote users ourselves we really believe that one of the most valuable things in the Evernote experience is context. With each thought written down, to-do created or photo taken, we believe there is tremendous value in showing contextual information around anything created. Also, we have worked hard to facilitate the sharing of notes and context in the most seamless way possible, during the note creation process. App summary and why it matters to Evernote users: http://blog.ideaplaces.com/ideaplaces-app-a-new-way-to-experience-evernote-around-places/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Here are screenshots and explanations of the features to give you a good idea of how it works. Visualization of notes After you link your Evernote account to IdeaPlaces your notes are sync'd and you can view all of them from points on a map. This allows you to explore all of the notes you have that contain location meta data. You can even create places and attach notes to them. By doing this, any note added to a place will then have the location meta data of that place. We have integrated with two main API's: Foursquare and Google Places. Ability to create robust notes quickly. Sharing integrated in the process. We have realized that creating notes from your phone has to be simple or users simply wont take notes from their device. This is why we worked hard on creating an incredibly fast way to create notes. Right from the visual map screen you can tap on the create note icon or wave the phone on any screen to start the note creation process. The note creation process allows you to add and edit the following: Title Location (pre-input & editable) Users to share the note with (text or email) Standard text Photo's (multiple sizes) Notebooks (including shared notebooks) Tags Location-based reminders To-do based notes and shopping reminders are easy to forget, but with location based reminders we are hoping to make them a thing of the past. In the note creation process simply set the location and tap reminder to make sure you get notified the next time you are in a 75m radius. Location enhanced notes Understanding the context of the note while you are actually viewing the note is important for you or anyone you share the note with. This is why we have enhanced all of the notes viewed or shared within the app with both google map and street view. These images link directly into google maps and provide an easy way to get back into IdeaPlaces. Feedback and beta testers We are looking for passionate users of Evernote like us to test our application and help us with feedback. If you would like to help this app evolve into a truly amazing Evernote experience we would love your help. Here is our contact email to request a free coupon code or become an active tester on Testflight. email@example.com http://www.ideaplaces.com Download the app on the iOS app store now! We are actively developing the application and can guarantee a response within a few hours. We are still in the early stages of this app and believe that it can have a tremendous impact on the way that users use Evernote now and in the future. We can't wait to see what this will become! Let us know what you think and if you have any comments or suggestions post below! Thanks
Features: Sorting and Feedback
a6_na2 posted an idea in Evernote for Android RequestsIt would be great if users would get "Manual Sorting" option in Evernote, and also if we could send feedback to the Evernote team directly from the application itself.
ios Enhanced Audio Quality Option
Infinite Identity posted a topic in Evernote for iOSHello! First of all, just want to say I love Evernote and have been using it everyday since I downloaded it on my iPhone. Thank you for developing such a high quality product! I play music professionally, and would REALLY love an option to increase the Audio Recording Quality. Like a "Default", "Better", "Best" setting. That way, it would be much more convenient to keep my work in one place, rather than recording and importing from another app. Convenience is the main reason I use Evernote- I'd be willing to upgrade to Premium for this feature! Thanks for listening!
mac REQUEST: Color labels
xpcoolz posted a topic in Evernote for Machi, i'd love to have a color labels feature in evernote as it helps in managing the contents. is it possible to include it in future updates? the image below will show what i mean (it's a screenshot from microsoft outlook 2011 for mac). In Outlook 2011, specific category gives specific color labels.
Beta Feedback (GTD related issues)
Nuithari posted an idea in Evernote Web Client RequestsHey all, First off I want to commend you guys on the look of the beta client. It is very sleek, and looks good. However, I feel we're losing some key features in making it usable. The following issues were things that bothered me. If I just didn't discover them, please just point these out. There's no way to categorize your tags anymore.There's no dragging and dropping tagsYou can't search on multiple tagsNo more note previewing while still seeing the rest of your search results.If you work following the guidelines of Getting Things Done, this gets really frustrating. I switched back to the old version right away :/ I really hope some of these changes are still being worked on. Best Regards, - Nui
Feedback on User Experience
fr3ak posted a topic in Web ClientThe new beta experience is sub par. In fact, it's worse off. It feels like you made a good product look pretty just because you could. The functionality is less efficient, navigating around my notes/notebooks feels cumbersome, and generally I agree that less is more, but it seems like you went too far with going "less". On that note, I want to make a comment about the experience of trying to use tables. It's very hindering that we cannot edit the tables after they are created. The auto-sizing of the columns is downright horrendous. For example, I use Size-Up on my Mac, and resizing the window smaller makes the table smaller, fine. However, making the window take up the full screen again does not put the table width back to 100%, as it was before. I read somewhere that Evernote doesn't want to take over, or compete (or whatever), with more robust note taking software. But let's be real, I would bet that there are a lot of people that want Evernote to do just that. Why hold back on features that are very helpful (damn near essential) for people that want to use your product? I will admit, however, that the aesthetic look/feel of the beta is nice. But the functionality went completely the wrong way. I'd rather have something that works well, than looks nice. Overall, I don't understand why Evernote is holding itself back.

A Little bit About Us – I and my wife were involved in ministry in the Local Church in which we were a part of. We were doing ministry there till 2004 July. In 2004 August we started doing campus ministry under our own ministry banner in over 10 colleges in city of Chennai.
In the year 2005 God gave me a vision to pioneer a new church in the city of Chennai. As I was praying in the presence of God to know God's will regarding the location of the church God spoke to me very clearly through Zephaniah 2:6
With the word of God burning inside we started looking for a place for the church. At the end of 2 months the search ended when we reached the location that was in the mind of God.
HOP church was started on 18th June 2005 in a placed called Tiruvanmiyur. This is a very busy junction that connects the IT highway and the East Coast Road. It is a highly populated part of the city with approximately one lakh people living here.
This church has grown to what it is today only by faith and the increasing grace of God. Our desire is to see the community being transformed for God's glory. His passion and vision is to pioneer more churches to reach out to the unreached people craving in need of a Saviour! God has given us a vision to start more churches and raise and develop hundreds of men and women for the Lord's work. With this glorious vision we have been involved in church planting ministry now.
Our Beliefs
There is one true God. He exists to reveal himself in three persons – Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Genesis 1:1, 26, 27

Bible Study– Every month on the first Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 6:30 pm we have Bible Study in the Church. Through these classes the believers and leaders are trained in ministry and taught about the basics of the word of God.

Online Church– On Sundays we broadcast our worship services online. We started the Online
Care Cells– On Wednesdays we conduct Care Cells in different areas in the house of believers. Here Evangelism and Nurturing takes place. Through care cells many people start attending Church services and they also grow personally in their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

A little bit about us...
In 2017, I left my position as General Club Manager at a local fitness club to begin a new career. After much discussion between Emma and I, I decided to go in to the motor industry and work at a local garage in Ashby de-la Zouch. At the time, Emma's parents owned the garage and they had a small forecourt where I would operate from, selling affordable used cars.
Long story short, the car sales took off and we were turning over our stock regularly and loving absolutely every minute of it!
In the summer of 2018, my in-laws decided that they wanted to part ways with the garage after nearly 23 years of it's ownership, and we decided to keep the car sales as the sole business. So in August 2018, we re-branded our forecourt and Castle Prestige was born!
Why buy from us?
I could sit here and just write how good quality the cars are, the exceptional warranty that we provide on the cars, the presentation of the cars etc etc. But all of this can be found on our 'Customer Care Plan' tab above, so I'm not going to go on about that right now...
But, the reason you should buy from us, is down to our philosophy. We treat our customers how we like to be treated. We are not here to upset anybody or give anybody a negative experience. We understand that buying a used car can be difficult. We are here to sell used cars at affordable prices and make a living for my family and I.
My father-in-law once told me, that it's very difficult to build up a good reputation in any aspect of business, but it only take five minutes to destroy it. So we try our best to give all of our customers that excellent service we thrive for. We can't please everybody, but we try our best to.
I won't go on about our service; our reviews speak for themselves so please go ahead and read them on Facebook and Google.
I hope to see you at some point on our forecourt.
Many Thanks
Here we have a selection of our Happy Customer reviews. However, if you check out our Google, Facebook & AutoTrader pages, we have over 50+ combined 5* Reviews!

Some Urgency
Just down the end of our little lane – our lonnin – at this time of year, quite suddenly, a daffodil appears. This year, with the mild weather, we have plenty of green spikes on the banks and the road verges. They, however, are mere shoots, a couple of inches at the most, with only the suggestion of a flower bud. This particular flower is in full bloom, a very welcome sight indeed, its bright yellow blossom breaking the monotony of the green and brown that have been our lot for the winter months.
It's tempting when, as we walk down the lane to the gate, we see this bright and cheerful herald of Spring, to really believe that Winter is on its way out. Experience has taught us though – this is not the time to throw caution to the winds and pack away the winter woolies.
This particular plant is a futurist, up there at the bleeding edge, ahead of the game, and we feel a curious kinship. We too, are fed up with sitting round waiting for someone to do something; we too, have had enough of dark days and closed in nights; we too, just want to get on!
Another Boring Phone Picture
I have to say, when the cameras in phones improved to the point where
the narcissistic flood gates of ego were thrown wide open, I couldn't
really comprehend it. The sudden urge to adorn every digital opportunity
with your own image, looking cute, surprised, shocked – with or without a
grimace – amazed me. I assumed, however, that this was a passing phase,
an aberration induced by the flow of technology, soon to disappear under
the tsunami of the next big thing. To some degree, I have been proved
right. Even the development of the selfie stick produced nothing more
than a minor stimulation. The selfie is on the way out.
Then, I broke through into the technological age. I acquired a phone with
a camera – and an amazing number of other functions unrelated phone
calls. This has brought a new understanding, I now see that, in fact,
the narcissistic tendencies I assumed to be a resurgence of something with
survival value from humankind's past, are nothing more than the
limitations of the device.
It isn't that we became overly infatuated with our own likeness – it's
simply that the camera in your phone is pretty useless for anything
other than a selfie.
A Light Dusting
After what has seemed like months of living perpetually inside a cloud, with no horizon, and no real way to tell where the ground ends and the sky begins, the unseasonably warm, wet weather has given way – to the sort of cold, bright and still days we associate with winter. Everyone has wrapped up and cheered up, isn't it amazing what a little sunshine will do.
The sun, you see, was totally fed up with seeing nothing but the backs of clouds. It has, after all, finished with summer down in the southern hemisphere, there's just a few lose ends to tidy up. Although it doesn't have much time for us yet, when it pops it's head up to peek through the south facing windows, it can see that winter is definitely looking worn, jaded and very ragged round the edges.
What was obviously needed was a bit of a clean up. Not a fully fledged Spring clean, there isn't time for that yet, but there was certainly a need a quick wipe down to remove that film of damp grey that seemed to cover everything.
Once that was done, and things were looking a bit brighter, our mountains were given a light dusting of snow – in lieu of icing sugar.
For 2016
I am not an island.
I gather the gift of serenity
and hold it in my hand.
To give to all who know
that only in giving do we gain.
We reap as we do sow
We have been busy doing family stuff over the last few weeks – this meant travelling down to the other end of the world.
While we were down in the nether regions of the British Isles, we were so busy enjoying ourselves, that when the time came to come home – we left the camera on the sideboard in a daughter's dinning room. Taking this as a sign from The Universe, we made the decision to use the camera in the phone for all future post pictures.
So here we go, then.
Let's Just Get On With It
Along with all the rain we've been having lately, we've had some very mild temperatures – for the time of year. Personally, I wouldn't trust the weather at the moment, but it seems that some people just can't wait.
I think it's not so much that we are impatient, it's just that we are fed up with it all. How much longer do we have to put up with this? That's the big question. When it comes down to it, I suppose, you just have to trust that there really is a ray of sunshine at the end of this very wet and windy tunnel we seem to have spent the last few months in.
Hope is funny old stuff, isn't it? As you can see, even the daffs are hoping for the best. And The Very Best is what we wish you – in fact better than the best. A very Happy New Year to everyone for 2016 from David, Jackie, and The Dog.

The other day my wife June and myself went into Melbourne with the grandkids, it was after one o'clock and we were all getting hungry, we decided to go to a small lunch shop that I had been to a long time ago.
We were warmly welcomed by the owner a friendly Asian type person and as the grandkids have Asian in them, she took to them beautifully and warmly welcomed us. Nothing was too much trouble, I ordered our meals and 2 drinks for the 4 kids to share, She was not having that and insisted she would make them all drinks, Then we were given a extra bowl of chips for the kids.
No sooner had we received the milkshake drink no 3 tipped it over and smashed the glass, they rushed over cleaned the mess and a new drink arrived in a cardboard cup and they weren't upset in the least.
This made us and the kids feel very at ease, when we finished they wanted to know all about the kids. I insisted on paying for the breakage but there was no way they were going to let me.
When you experience something like this a number of things are going to happen, one you are going to tell others, you will go back.
Plus they picked our no.3 as Mr Energy Bunny and discussed how there's was similar.
To me you could not get better rapport then this.
In this case we had the Asian connection, what you need to do when your with your clients is dig deep and find your hidden connection to create rapport.
