McKinnon Career Strategies is Vancouver-based career coaching business serving clients throughout North America.
About Maureen
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I am Maureen and ready to guide executives and professionals with finding their voice and advancing in their careers with McKinnon Career Strategies' proven leading strategy to advance careers – the implementation of Authentic Self-Promotion.
The essence is to communicate clearly your unique strengths and relevant achievements to others and your superiors.
The objective to advancing your career is to successfully market yourself to organizations and decision makers.
Each client has their own desired outcome based on where they are in their career, the current challenge or opportunity, the organization, their boss, their skill set, experience, achievements, professional network and what they desire in their careers.
Clients will identify what success means to them and how they will know (measure), when they have achieved their goal. They will also plan the celebration to mark reaching the milestone! I am passionate about results.
I help you to acquire the Talented Self Mindset – an absolute belief that you "can-do" the job. You will work through the process: discover, know, accept, believe, and own – your talented self!
My role is to reflect back to you, the talented person I see (think mirror) until you can see your talented self in your mirror. Talented professionals discover their unique strengths, gain clarity on their competitive edge, and learn how to communicate their value proposition.
Once you gain the confidence of their talented self, I assist you in gaining credibility and increasing your visibility, with a marketing strategy to promote themselves internally and externally to decision makers.
As a career strategist, I work with hundreds of professionals. I assist these professionals with career planning, creating action plans based around what they want to achieve in their careers to help them implement their strategies to successfully obtain their desired outcomes.
If you're ready to take your career to the next level, I am eager to work with you, sharing the tools and knowledge to move forward.
Mentoring and Coaching Experience
I have a passion for helping professionals advance their lives and most importantly, their careers. I have played the role of a mentor and expert to hundreds of professionals who successfully achieved their goals.
My experience includes:
|Chair of the Leaders of Tomorrow Mentorship Program – Vancouver Board of Trade for 2 years – 150 students and 150 business mentors each year
|7 years: LOT Executive Committee and Business Mentor
|3 years: Director Vancouver Board of Trade
|10 years: Business Mentor – New Ventures Plan Contest
|2015 Women in Leadership: Business Mentor – 3 Mentees | 1 Mentee
|Informally helped over 50+ young men and women with their career planning
It has been a pleasure to work with all of these talented people. For the last 15 years, I have been able to watch these professionals grow and thrive. Each one is now creating a positive impact on the world.
Training and Instruction
From 2004 to 2005, I was a Marketing for Managers instructor at Langara College Continuing Studies.
I held a seat on the BCIT Program Advisory Committee for Industrial Marketing from 2006 to 2009.
I worked with Royal Rhodes University (Victoria) as an academic advisor for a Master's degree student from 2003 to 2004.
Throughout the last 15 years, I have created, designed, and delivered hundreds of different workshops and presentations. Some of the presentation topics include:
|Personal Development
|Social Enterprises
|Customer Service
Founded a Recruiting Company
Previous to becoming a career strategist, with my partner, we founded a recruiting company. The recruiting company placed over 150 people into new jobs every year for five years. I have seen over 2,000 cover letters and resumes.
My role was to recruit employers and provide human resource and employment functions. Most of the employers were small and medium sized businesses. Many did not have a human resource personal and did the hiring themselves. I taught them the hiring process and interviewing skills. Once they had selected their new employee, I wrote and managed the first six-month training plan (onboarding) for the employers and the new employee.
The employer network that I established and managed comprised over 700 employers. I understand what employers are looking for through the hiring process to select a candidate. I know the four main questions that employers need to have asked correctly to HIRE!
I hold a Master of Science in Management Degree and a Master of Science in Financial Services. Both degrees were obtained from The American College located in Philadelphia, PA. I am also a Certified Business Coach and Certified Executive Coach.

Academy Awards 2019 Vacation. This was the year with no host for the broadcast.
Also, for me it was a first year in ages: Rose Rosetree didn't watch. Neither did I do advance reviews of nominated acting performances.
Maybe just for this year. Maybe not. No need to decide right now about future years!
Meanwhile, some of you, Blog-Buddies have noticed. Why no aura reading movie reviews for the Academy Awards 2019? Today I'll explain why I needed to take a break.
Short version? Because it seems that every year… more A-listers are doing really badly, aura-wise.

Praise and Thanksgiving 6
Thank You Aum. Thank You Ra. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Ra. Thank You Gayatri.
Aum Tat Sat. Aum Ra. Namo Namaha.
We thank our good Karma, our Ancestors, and You, for
awakening our discrimination and guiding us in the
right way to reach You. All that we do, with our most sincere
Praise and and Thanksgiving, we offer to You. Glorification,
and Exaltation, through the Sun, Silence, Space, and
Nothing, we submit wholly to You.
You are our Supreme Power and our only Redeemer. The
internal and external spiritual and material powers are
pervaded and transcended by You. You alone can
grant Lasting Fulfillment and Everlasting Peace.
By surrendering all to You, being Your true follower,
gradually transcend desire and desirelessness, seeing and
experiencing You as One who is within and beyond the many.
Gradually, we transcend the power of ignorance and
wicked forces to keep us in the sin and bondage of Maya. Our
deepest gratitude to You for revealing to us how to practically
remember You.
It is by remembering You that we are purified. As we purify
our consciousness by associating with You, we gradually
cease making bad Karma. Remembering You we rise from
the suffering of Maya to the Eternal bliss of You.
We have longed for You, and sought for You in so many
ways and applied so means to know and experience Your
existence. Thank You for being here.
Now we know that You alone are our Redeemer, our Center
Point, Our Balance, Our Steadiness, uprightness, and purity
of consciousness, our Supreme Awareness.
You are the Source of Truth, Justice, Righteousness, Peace,
Security, and Freedom. True spirituality, engendered by
surrendering to You, gradually blossoms and cleanses the
Pineal Gland.
The more the Pineal Gland is cleansed, primarily by
always thinking of You, the consciousness is purified and
raised. Thank You for showing us that no matter how high
our consciousness has been raised, and by whom or what, it
can be raised more by continuing to fix our mind on You.
Spiritual food is food from the earth, water, and air that
decalcifies the Pineal Gland. It is however, thoughts of You
that draw us ever nearer to You that that is the most
important food.
Always thinking of You is the way we are decalcifying our
Pineal Gland, cleansing our consciousness and bringing us
back into conscious awareness of You again as Supreme
Loving Awareness.
Surely, raw, organic green foods, and abandoning
various kinds of contaminated food, water, and air
helps to decalcify the Pineal Glland. However, we
we must fix our mind on You, the Supreme Awareness of the
present, past, and future.
As the Pineal Gland is purified, so is consciousness. Thus the
ego, the "I am this body; I am this mind; I am this intellect,"
is purged from our consciousness. Simultaneously, our
Original, Eternal Awareness of all consciousness and
Infinite Awareness Itself is revealed to our consciousness.
Comprehension and experience of the Bliss of You
is instigated, motivated, and elevated by always thinking of
You. Verily, always thinking of You is the primary power
behind our personal and most positive self-development and
sober productivity.
Our offerings to You is associating with You. Associating
with You, the Most Pure, purifies our consciousness of
wickedness. As this happens, we cease committing wicked
deeds, making bad Karma, and life has ore meaning, feeling,
and purpose. We are gradually freed from Maya's fears and
addictions. Slowly we reawaken to the Eternal Ecstasy
of Your Divine, Tranquil, Bliss Filled Omnipresence.
This true love gives us inner joy and contentment and takes
away our pain and resentment. It asks nothing in return
nor expects anything in return, yet makes justice a reality for
all. In the Sanskrit language, this type of love, true love,
which is revealed like the Sun when the clouds disperse is
called Prana.
There is no thing, that can omit You. You are everywhere, all
the time and beyond. To be clearer, the very clearest:
Without You even nothing cannot exist. Truly, You are the
beginning, the middle, the end, and evermore. Except for
You, there is only You. Even after Nothing, there is You. You
are before and after Nothing; the Reason it exists, is You.
Thank You for accepting our humble attempts of praising

Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale Preview & Vegas Odds & Picks - Looking at the Betting Odds for the main event Court Mcgee -200 favorite over Kris Mccray +160 underdog Ultimate Fighter Odds. TUFF 11 Picks I kind of like McCray at this price. His biggest problem was his conditioning and now he is in a camp full-time so I am sure that won't be an issue. Only thing that worries me is how much Court McGee has learned since he got into a camp.
TUF Vegas Odds Aaron Simpson -350 favorite over Chris Leben +250 underdog. Bet on the Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale Picks at Bodog.com and receive 10% Sign up bonus. Taken a look at the undercard it will be Rich Attonito +110 over Jamie Yager -120.
TUF 11 Picks Great value in my opinion. I'm not a Yager fan and he showed on the show that his bark is bigger than his bite. He has a very weak chin and is very uncomfortable if he cannot keep his distance and throw leg kicks. Las Vegas Odds great value so Bet on Rich Attonito Ultimate Fighter Picks.

January 12th, 2010
by chuck
One day the theme music played "bad boys" and on the bottom of the screen it said "HOUSTON 3:41 AM" and sargeant Hawkins got on his walkie talkie and it said "we have a domestic disturbance at Park and Maple Drive, sargeant Hawkins respond," and sargeant Hawkins was on the case.
He was in a shit mood but he didn't care he was hard. The cop car rode up to the intersection and the sargeant Hawkins got out and the camera got out too and there was a White Male about 5'10" 35 years old with tattoos. He was fighting with Hispanic Male 5'3″ about 30 years old. White Male was wearing a wig and a bridal gown and he was smoking crack which he threw in bush "WHAT WAS THAT" said sgt. Hawkins. "I didn't f–kin do whatever" said White Male. Hawkins say "I got a call about a domestic disturbance are you beating your wife sir?" Hispanic Male immediately got scared of being tasered so he started to run but jumped in trash can to which Hawkins said to Hispanic Male "get out of that trash can". Hispanic Male said "no" which is the only Spanish word in English. Hawkins tasered him.
White Male is like "you leave Filipo alone you f–k pig cop he ain't do sh-t f–k cop" and Hawkins say "did you beat your wife" to which White Male said "yes". "Why did you" say Hawkins but White Male started to think he is a woman so he say "that bitch try to steal my boy friend Filipo" then a gerbil fall out his ass and Hawkins tasered White Male and try and see if gerbil is ok but gerbil is drunk. "Why is gerbil drunk" said Hawkins and White Male say "you're drunk." So sgt. Hawkins again tasered White Male and White Male said "rughabugharughabughra"
So White Male got arrested and the wife is dead.
The End <3

Scam Senior Citizens Crimes A common occurrence
It is a fact that when under stress, sensible people make some not so sensible decisions. The end result is it is easy to find victims for scams. So scam senior citizens becomes the racket. What can we do to stop this?
Who is this senior citizen the scammer is looking for?
Someone who will make themselves venerable because they feel desperate. Not a good place to find yourself in.
Have you retired and found yourself in financial hot water?
Unplanned emergency upset what plans you had?
It does happen. We are all apt to be ready to jump for whatever is found in your email box that suggests a quick return for your efforts.
That is how you need money. Quick.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
But the fact is, fast money is usually either illegal or just a come on for a scam operation.
The only one who makes money with those types of opportunities are the scam artists.
The package they prepare for you is pretty. The results guaranteed and overwhelming. Unbelievable.
And unfortunately untrue.
When I was young, a carnival was an annual thing for our small farm and ranch community.
The con guys were good and quick. They were ready.
However, most of us knew they were con artists.
There was always someone to make their job easy and fell prey to the games they played.
Finding yourself retired and needing to earn money is a frightening thing.
This is especially frightening if you have not planned.
Unfortunately, many retirees are finding themselves at this point. They thought they were ready for retirement. But they were not actually prepared.
I will be the first to admit that getting ready for retirement was a neglected chore for me.
There was a last-minute struggle. However, that did not begin till I was 60.! This does not leave one much time to prepare.
However a bit of progress was made, and we are able to have a modestly comfortable retirement time.
At least right now. We both have the genetic makeup to live till we are in our late 90's or beyond.
In the cold hard facts of retirement living, it seems necessary to prepare with some extra streams of income. First for the retirement, and then maybe to do some of the things we may want to do along the way.
Are you in this position?
Do you find yourself retired and short on money? It may be too late to have quick access to much more money than what you can earn at an entry level job.
Don't allow yourself to get in debt with a scam attempt at a quick income source.
Now is when you must get out your pencil and paper and make a survival plan. Yes.you need a survive retirement plan. You do not need a scam senior citizens plan.
Let's talk about where you are now.
Do you need to go to work immediately?
Do you need income to add to your social security check? To keep food on your table and a roof over your head?
Figure out where you are. This plan can help prevent someone trying to scam senior citizens.
The security of the dependable social security check will be the basis that you have to work with.
Haven't made yourself a budget? Now is the time that must happen.
How much more do you need to earn each month to keep the roof overhead and food on the table? Need more money? If you do, get a job.
You have the facts before you. Maybe working a few hours a week will do what you need.
If you need more than you can make part time, some reviewing of your responsibilities is in order. What can you change to make this more manageable?
What other debts do you have? Have they put you in a money bind? How can you plan to get those things paid off?
How can you get the cost of your daily budget down?
Do you need to downsize?
Do you have some clutter that needs to be sold off to make everyday living easier?
We all come with a certain amount of baggage.
Sometimes that baggage is costing us money.
As you think through each stage of this, write it down.
Put the budget on paper.
Look at it even if it is not pretty.
You need to come to grips with where you are! Grasping at straws to make money during retirement can put you on the radar for a scam senior citizen idea. You need to educate yourself. This is the one true protection against scams! Knowledge.
You cannot know where you are going until you know where you are.
Write down all the facts, good and bad.
Add up how much you need each month.
Write down the amount you have coming in.
Subtract the difference.
Are you actually as bad off as you thought?
Are you in worse shape than you thought?
Know where you are!
Again there is a powerful Mojo in writing down this information.
You can see what needs to be changed.
Will a part-time job help you to stay where you are? Do you even want to stay where you are?
As you began to look at your future, where do you see yourself this time next year?
In 5 years?
Pull this budget apart. What can be changed?
Can you be comfortable with the air conditioner at a higher sitting? Will spending a littl less on utilities allow you to have a few more dollars for paying off debt?
When you have a plan, making a change is easier. You can see the benefit for you.
Your numbers will tell you what you need to work on. You do not have to just sit there and do nothing.
Do not have to just drift through retirement time with no goals. No plan. No bucket list.
I will not use all of the government-backed numbers and statics to back up this statements. They are boring anyway.
They did make me think of the people I know. Roughly 1 of every 8 retiree / senior / citizen will be scammed every year.
I just have my observations and experience. I admit my experience is limited. I have only lived one life. I have learned to plan.
When you make a plan. You have a course of action. The lack of knowledge can make one feel venerable.
Take control and start working to improve the things in life that are holding you back. You will surprise yourself.
Have you ever had a goal that was important enough to you that you made a plan?
Do you think all the good things that retirement time has to offer will just automatically come your way?
That is not how things work. You must plan. You will spend your days in some way. Will you flutter about like a wounded sparrow? Just desperately trying to survive?
Find help and relief somewhere? You do not have to do that! You can live a better life.
You can know what is going on in your life. Financially and personally.
The days do not have to stretch before you endlessly. With no plan to do what you want to. No forward progress.
You must not miss this most precious time in your life, your retirement years.
You have earned them. They are yours.
If you have never taken a moment for yourself to make this plan, do it now.
Make some of the things you want to come about, happen.
Writing goals, dreams, and ideas down to make the future better. Make the future yours and a great time in your life. Find some suggestions for planning here
What better thing can you do for your family
Show them how to take control of their lives through your example. You can help your family improve their here and now lives as well as their future.
We have been parents forever at this point.
The best example is to get this part right for our family.
I have heard people scoff the idea that planning can make a difference.
When you live your life so completely for right now, your plan will never reach maturity.
Living in the present and living for right now are two different things
Do not ever confuse the two.
The ones who will not plan.
Insist that they do not want to have a schedule.
They want to do what they want when they want.
This lifestyle will not result in a very happy life.
One day may work out well for you. However, tomorrow, when you are living with all the things left undone.
With your money spent that should not have been.
One fun day
Would you change a day for a lifetime of being in control of your future?
Have you lived that way before and want no more of it?
Do you want the calm of knowing what tomorrow will bring?
Do you want to be able to have as comfortable a life as possible?
Do you want to see the dreams you have of the retirement days full filled?
Are you willing to spend some of the time, in your unplanned retirement day, and do some planning!
Plan how to make the days better for you, your spouse, and your family!
You are not a selfish person. You may be undisciplined at times, and make decisions that you wish you had not made.
Those times do not have to be your entire life
You can improve on those times.
You can make better decisions and get back in the driver's seat of your life.
You can make you a better person, one day at a time.
You can make a plan and make yourself aware of the areas where you need to be more alert. Alert to what is making your retirement life not what you want.
Scams seem to wait on every corner for senior citizens! We all need to be alert.
A written plan will not change the future. Only you can do that.
You can do it by making the changes in you.
A little at a time. Day by day. You can predict your future. You can create it.
When I first learned the power of a written plan, I tried to make these huge shifts in facts.
Make impossible dreams come true. I have since learned that was not the correct way to plan. That was just daydreaming on paper.
A plan is a definite intent to get from point A to point B. How real are your plans? How do you really want to live your remaining retirement years?.
Yes, you are retired, but there are still some choices you can make to make your life better.

'A phone call wouldn't hurt' - Lynn takes on Australia selectors
Chris Lynn wasn't holding his breath when Australia announced their latest T20I squad earlier this month but he has taken a swipe at a lack of communication from the selectors.
It was not a huge surprise that Lynn's name was missing for the matches against Sri Lanka and Pakistan given the returns of David Warner and Steven Smith created a logjam at the top of the order.
Lynn, who has become a freelance T20 player, did not have his cause helped by two T20 leagues he was meant to be playing in - the Euro T20 Slam and Afghanistan T20 league - being cancelled, his decision to participate in the former meaning he wasn't up for the CPL this year.
When naming the squad, national selector Trevor Hohns said he wasn't aware if Lynn was in the country although he was dropped for the series in India earlier this year and it is CA policy that players omitted from the previous squad will be called by selectors.
"The lack of communication hasn't been great," Lynn told ESPNcricinfo. "I kind of saw [being omitted] coming, I'm not disappointed. Through no one's fault, I haven't played any cricket, but a phone call wouldn't hurt. I'm not going anywhere, I will keep trying to score runs and keep knocking on his door. It's all part of the journey. If you are going to sit at home and be negative, then nothing will happen.""You can go through patches where you are really keen to train, and then others you might not want to get out of bed, but having someone give you a little kick up the backside is perfect."
Chris Lynn
Lynn, who will line up for the Prime Minister's XI against the Sri Lankans in Canberra on Thursday, hasn't played since the Global T20 in Canada in early August but he is determined to make a push for next year's T20 World Cup after spending his downtime working on his fitness, which he believes is the best it's been for two years.
He still avoids diving around in the field due to his past shoulder problems but does not think that should be a deciding factor in whether he gets to extend his international career which currently stands at 19 matches and an underwhelming return of 291 runs at 19.40 without a fifty, albeit alongside a strike-rate of 131.67.
"You can always take the positive, this is the longest period I've had at home in six or seven years so it's been a great chance to get fitter and stronger, build my base for the next 12-18 months," Lynn said at Kayo's Summer of Cricket launch in Sydney.
"I haven't dominated by any means. I have to stamp my case again then try to really dominate the international stage. Think I'm always going to be there or thereabouts but that's the beauty of Australian cricket, the depth is really good. I'm not the only to miss out. Matty Wade, D'Arcy Short, Marcus Stoinis, they are some good names. It doesn't mean your career is over, it just makes you hungrier."
Lynn insists he is finding fulfillment in his career path and sees himself as something of a "trailblazer" having taken the decision to become a T20 gun for hire while in what should be the prime of his career.
"A lot of the guys who do it are towards the end of their careers, so to be a bit of trailblazer in this space is a little bit different. With that it takes a lot of risk. A lot of people think you are doing it because you want to play T20, travel round and the cash might be good but you are actually taking more of a risk. That keeps me hungry because I know if I fail in one tournament I might not get that opportunity the following year."
He now travels extensively with his mentor and personal coach, Gavin Fitness, which he says helps balance the fact he is not in a full-time contracted cricket set up at state level, although he retains access to Queensland's facilities through his Brisbane Heat deal.
"You can go through patches where you are really keen to train and then others you might not want to get out of bed, but having someone give you a little kick up the backside is perfect," he said. "It's a different dimension to what the cricket scene has had. We've seen some private physios and trainers go on tour, but not like your mentor or personal coach. You never know, it might be the norm in 10 years' time."

Using Tags as Pseudo Notebooks (pNB)
JMichaelTX posted a topic in OrganizationUsing Tags as Pseudo Notebooks (pNB) [Note: At the urging of another user, I have started a new topic for this subject. I posted the below originally in Jan 2016. I am in the process of rewriting, fine-tuning this article, but for now the below is a copy of my original post at Using Tags as Pseudo Notebooks . The basic design of pNB has not changed.] My knowledge of how to use Tags continues to evolve. This has been largely due to limitations Evernote has placed on Notebooks. So, the question is: How does one make the best use of the tool they have? Notebooks (NB) are limited to 250. Tags are virtually unlimited at 100,000. Tags can have a hierarchical structure of Parent Tag / Child Tag, much like the folders that you see on your computer. So, if we can model NBs as Tags, then we can effectively have unlimited NBs and sub-NBs. One of the most appealing features of Notebooks (and folders) is how they visually appear. But what if we can do the same visual layout with Tags? Stay tuned to learn how. I use tags in two fundamentally different ways: Pseudo Notebooks -- use in place of where you would normally use a notebook. This includes sub-notebooks. Note Categorization -- traditional use of tags to categorize the entity, which can have multiple tags. Can be used across Notebooks, or in this case, across pseudo NBs. Using Tags as Pseudo Notebooks Tags can be organized in hierarchies (meaning Parent-Child relationship). So we can achieve the appearance of Notebooks and sub-notebooks, Without going into a lot of detail at this point, I have created a number of Tags which serve as pseudo Notebooks. Note that all of the pseudo NBs, actually tags, all have a prefix of ".NB.", which makes it easy to identify which tags are pseudo NBs, and will cause them to appear at the top of the Tag list. You can, of course, use any prefix that works for you. One great advantage of using tags as pseudo NBs, is that you can assign multiple pseudo NBs to the same Note. Can't do that with actual NBs. Each Note can belong to only one NB. So this allows me, for example, to assign multiple pseudo NBs of .NB.IT, .NB.Business, and .NB.Personal to the same Note, which is the asset record for a new Mac, used in both business and personal activities. Now when I search or filter on any of the 3 pseudo NBs it will find the asset record of my Mac. I now have all of my pseudo NBs that appear at the top of my Tag list, and the pseudo NBs can, and do, have sub-pseudo NBs. Here's an example: As a result, I now have a need for ONLY 3 main Notebooks, plus any Notebooks needed for sharing or mobile offline use: Please feel free to post any questions or comments. EDIT: Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 12:36:27 PM CST For more discussion on pseudo notebooks, see Using Tags as Pseudo Notebooks (original post) Do you find lots of notebooks or notebook stacks useful?
Is there a workaround to getting a tag list? Is using SQL on a copy of the .exb file possible? I've noticed a number of posts on the forum about obtaining a tag list. They seem to dwell on 1) you cannot export or print a tag list in EN and/or 2) it would be a nice feature to have and will you please make it immediately or yesterday. It appears that none of these posts has yielded a definitive answer about a workaround. I have about 3,000 tags. That number is rapidly growing. I access EN two ways: EN for Windows and online in Chrome. I curate the tags in a hierarchy. I am aware that the prevailing consensus seems to be that tags are a superior way to organize one's EN content than notebooks, at least beyond some threshold volume of notes. But it has become tough to organize tags. My tags and their hierarchy are in continual flux as I add notes. I have about 35,000 notes. I continue to add tags and to delete and rearrange them. I am experimenting with the use of "special characters," ie., punctuation characters, to establish various categories. By "curation" I mean inspecting how the tags are organized (naming conventions and hierarchical arrangement) to be sure there is internal consistency. Part of the difficulty in doing so is that: a) there are so many; I can only see a small subset of them at a time; c) lacking an overview, I tend to have several curation and re-organization efforts going on concurrently and/or only partially implemented. d) these curation and re-organization efforts can be in conflict. The whole effort has become analogous to examining an entire landscape sequentially by examining parts of it through the narrow aperture of a drinking straw. But examining things sequentially can never replace simultaneous examination. I want to see all the tags. I need an overview, and to see their hierarchical organization at a glance. I am aware that there is no feature in EN to either print or export tags. Can I extract the tags using SQL? Doing so would not change the actual working file. I could use a copy of my .exb file (Windows platform), perhaps renaming it to a .db, and obtain from that renamed file a list of all of my tags. I recognize it is not good to go into the original backend database file with SQL tools. I would never touch that. It would be helpful to get even just a tag list, regardless of the hierarchical level of each tag. Getting the tags in their hierarchy would be good, though it's not strictly necessary. If you believe that it is infeasible to access the tags in a read-only manner via SQL, please let me know if you are aware of some other option. For example, alternately, is there some third-party software, perhaps analogous to VB for Office, or some macro-like utility of some kind, that would enable me to copy the tags successively, whether from within EN for Windows or EN in my browser, and paste them into MS Word? I am confident that it will be infinitely easier to manage them, once I have them in a word-processing document. I will be able to see the tags and their hierarchical position all at once rapidly, to grok relationships among them, disparities; similar, duplicative labels, etc. Changes to them in a Word doc can then be easily made in the original EN file. I would welcome any suggestions. That said, I do not imagine it would be helpful to question, why do you have so many tags? If you are thinking in those terms, please realize that you may be using EN for entirely different purposes and/or not have as much content. I have about 35,000 notes. Consider that the interrelationships among notes increase enormously as you add new topical areas. I want to track these with the tagging system. Nor do I imagine it would be helpful to ask, how can you use so many notes? Consider that, for the value that I wish to create, I do not need to use them all. Nor is it possible at the moment that I clip them to determine either exactly how I might use them or the likelihood that I will do so. Please realize that the process of capture with EN is often done intuitively, rather than with extensive planning aforethought. In that respect, EN is (or should be) not only a way of managing information. It is also (or should be) a way of managing how to allocate one's limited attention. Likewise, scrolling through a very lengthy tag list in EN for Windows does not support human cognitive strengths and inherent limitations.
I'm trying to organize my notes hierarchically. First I tried with nested folders but it's not possible to do so as Evernote only allows one sub-folder level. After doing a search the answer people gave was to use tags as they are possible to nest this way. Great I thought, then I opened my mobile app, then I discover that it's not possible to get a hierarchical view of your tags on mobile the way you do in the desktop app. You only see Notebooks and their folder structure, you also can only set Notebooks to offline view not a tag. So the question is, how do I get a hierarchical structure and overview on to work on both desktop and mobile?

A Bar For Events – What You Need To Know
A lot of people think that going to the bar is no fun at all because all you are going to see there are youngsters who like to drink and party. That is not entirely true though because there are certain types of bars that will also be perfect for the much older, finessed people who are looking for a calm and tipsy night. There are a lot of people out there who are so tired with their busy schedules and would just want to grab a drink or two and just talk with friends. Your best bet for having fun is going to be in a whiskey bar for the event because people get stressed over life all the time so why not enjoy the night with friends in a bar. When it comes to a long week at work, having some time for yourself for the weekend seems to be very promising as long as you know where you are going; bar and even room should be a wise choice though. A lot of the busy people during the weekdays are inside whiskey bars enjoying a sip with a love one; the best thing about this kind of bar is that it doesn't turn to a mad circus when everyone is already drunk; its a more quiet yet fun kind of event.
But you have to know that this type of bar is not only limited to you and your love one; there are a lot of fun things you can do in a whiskey bar as well. Whiskey bars are not limited to relaxing nights with the wife. Did you know that bars are also perfect for events and parties; they are also perfect party venues. Bars are really popular today especially for people who love to drink; they could throw their birthday parties in bars and it would be normal. You can choose to throw small parties and other events in a bar instead of decorating your home for a night and then clean up tomorrow. You have to know that when it comes to events at bars, the party thrower will have no worries with what happens when everyone is already drunk and puking because the staff will handle the cleaning; you do not want this to happen inside your home, right?
You should know that being an event's host is not an easy job at all. You have to understand that the key to a good party is the venue, as long as you get the venue right, the party is going to roll on its own. Throw your party in a bar so that you don't have to bother with the cleaning and decorating. A whiskey bar for an event is going to be a very good decision especially when it comes to an older crowd.

India has lost the Test series against South Africa without playing the third match which is scheduled on January 24th and is to be hosted at Johannesburg. Speaking of the failure of the Indian team to perform coach Ravi Shastri stated that an additional cushion of 10 days to practice would have made a lot of difference to the team's performance. India arrived in South Africa mere 8 days before they were to tussle with the hosts for the first Test in Cape Town. Lack of time to practice prevented team India to acclimatize with the conditions and our batsmen couldn't perform.
Due to time limitations, India also canceled a two-day practice game ahead of the opener and went directly for the first play. Shastri accepted that an additional 10 days of practice has made a lot of difference, but also that's no excuse for poor performance. Additional, he said, "Unfortunately the schedule was such that you had matches. But am sure henceforth in the future when itineraries are made that will be taken into account, there is absolutely no doubt about that. You get there a couple of weeks earlier and prepare."
This is the first time that Indian team has gone for a series with South Africa without sufficient practice and acclimatization to conditions. Former Indian coach Gary Kirsten always made sure to get at least two weeks of practice period before any major tournament.
If you remember the home series against Sri Lanka in 2017, India learned the lesson and got into damage control mode by limiting the tour of the big players to overseas games that are meaningless. However, for this series, not even the rested players reached South Africa early, which is claimed to be because of some strange logistical issues by Shastri.
In his words, "There was a thought [of sending the Test specialists early] but then you are disjointed. Even as a team you are disjointed, who is going to handle things here? Preparation-wise or whatever. Those thoughts can be put in hindsight. But in hindsight I would say the best thing would be, reach there two weeks earlier."
Even though we have lost the Test series it in no way undermines the capability of the team to make a comeback. Ravi Shastri quoted moments where Indian team performed at its best, "We had our moments in both test matches and we looked like the No.1 team when we bowled out South Africa for 130 [In Cape Town]. When we closed the gap thanks to Virat's brilliant innings, and had them 2-down with just 30 runs ahead [in Centurion], we looked like the no.1 team in overseas conditions. Not many teams look half that when they come to India."

A seasonal tradition handed down by my mother-in-law Frances Hanson Lohr: The little personalized notes were an inclusion when she gave us the recipe.
(My husband Jim has made this several times. He says it is not quite the "plum pudding" some persons might expect. This recipe is very rich. )
Suet Pudding
1 cup suet, chopped fine
1 cup syrup
3 cups flour, 3 level teaspoons banking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cloves, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups chopped raisins, 1 cup sweet milk
Mix the suet, milk and syrup. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and spices. Add to the suet, milk and syrup mixture, blending well. Oh yes, add the copped or ground raisins to this! Turn into a buttered mold (pan) and steam three hours. Serve with hard sauce.
Note: I always used the white Karo syrup, I'm sure, but Dad thinks brown syrup would give it more color and probably flavor. He thinks one can use a blender instead of a grinder for raisins but one can cut things, too.
Hard Sauce
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sifted confectioners sugar (which is powdered sugar, you know)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Thoroughly cream butter and sugar; add vanilla. Vary flavor with lemon or orange juice and grated peel. Makes 1 2/3 cups. To make Fluffy Hard Sauce: Add 1 egg yolk to creamed butter. Fold in stiff-beaten egg whites. Makes 1 2/3 cups.

How to Create Healthcare Design Ideas from "Healing-Flow"
What is "Healing-Flow"?
The place to start innovating healthcare design ideas is by better understanding patient needs. This includes not only a deep understanding of what limits their healing process, but also a deep understanding of what propels their healing process. You see, there are ideal conditions which, when realized, can greatly help in making sure a patient gets the best possible care. And a strategic environmental design is critical to helping a patient's ideal conditions for healing be realized.
One helpful activity, for designers of healthcare environments, is to create a patient workflow – or what may be better named a patient "healing-flow". By tracking exactly what a patient goes through, step-by-step, you as a designer can find important bottlenecks that impede the healing process. From these bottlenecks, innovative healthcare design ideas surface. Furthermore, by following these bottlenecks to their sources, root healthcare problems can be uncovered and solved for within an environmental design.
Uncovering Sensory Bottlenecks
For example, patients in hospitals must often endure much noise that interrupts their sleep, adds unnecessary stress, and at times even leaves them feeling agitated. Thus, eliminating such noise from hospital environments would go a long way toward alleviating this pervasive patient bottleneck. Noise can impede healing – both directly and indirectly. Thus, innovative healthcare ideas can work to quiet hospital environments through equipment used by medical staff, through medical technologies used to treat the patient, and even through the architectural design itself.
As a designer, your innovative ideas can make all the difference in the way someone overcomes their illness. Thus, healthcare design is as much about fostering what heals as it is about eliminating what prevents healing. Environments need designers to pay special attention to the patient "healing-flow". This teaches designers how to see their innovation from sensory angles, to better understand the nuances of the healing process, and to ensure one solution does not create a problem elsewhere within a healing environment.
Healthcare Environments that Grow
By creating and analyzing a patient "healing-flow", you can uncover the narrative your healthcare environment must radiate. Just as each patient is different, your "healing-flows" will be different for varying patient types, illness treatments, and recovery plans. Thus, environments should grow with patients as they recover. And for this, different sensory needs surface. Innovation occurs as you push your design idea to do more for its occupants – at every stage of their healing.

We really like the new logo design for British Gymnastics. Using bright bold colourful graphics the swirls track the motion of a gymnast.
There is also a video that accompanies the logo design, check it out on our facebook page.

And strangely enough in the comments someone has linked to this website, the go to wall for in-situ visuals.
Some really cool and colourful Origami street art has been popping up in France. These are by the French artist Mademoiselle Maurice, she uses bright colour origami figures to create geometric and graphic shapes.
More of her paper designs can be viewed on her personal website, she also works in lace and other materials.

La Lune Ice Cream is wowing America with the launch of its 'divine sin' branding. This healthier option, with a core ingredient of goats milk, decided early on that the animal element would feature on the 'dark side' of the packaging. With that less glamorous element out of the way, La Lune is free to promote some of its powerful brand values – mystery, prestige and hedonism.
Free from chemical additives and antibiotics, it's a healthier alternative to conventional ice cream. And with fully recycled packaging and transparent nutritional information, we're too impressed to let it 'melt' away without a mention…
We are just back from attending Offset in Dublin, it was a great weekend packed with lots of creative inspiration. Creatives and graphic designers from all over the world converged in Dublin for the three day event.
This was the third Offset event to happen in Dublin, and whatever style of design or illustration you like there was plenty of eye-candy and inspiring speakers to make you want more!
Some of the big highlights for us included Stefan Sagmeister (New York based Graphic Designer), Shepard Fairey (American Graphic Designer and Illustrator), Jessica Hische (American letterer, illustrator, and crazy cat), Michael Bierut (Graphic Designer), Von (Illustrator), Andrew Essex (Advertising) and not forgetting Dublins own Connor & David (Graphic Designers, Dublin) and Johnny Kelly (advertising, short films).
Each designer gave great insight into how they approach their work, what the design thinking and the creative process was behind some very memorable pieces. Other speakers were just great to see, Friends With You gave us all a treat when some of their characters made an appearance on stage… they also made us dance!
One of the better Q&A sessions was Stefan Sagmeister being interviewed by Ciarán ÓGaora of Zero-G (Graphic design agency, Dublin), where they discussed where the line between art and design lies. Stefan also gave us a little bit more of an insight into a new movie he has been working on.
This is definitely an event every designer should look out for! Not sure how they will top this one, but we are already looking forward to the next event!
Here's a great example of an evolving brand, which shows how subtle design can make a huge difference.
The American Red Cross are a globally recognised organisation, thanks in no small part to their iconic logo. When tasked with updating such a well-known brand identity, Turner Duckworth showed how design flare and ingenuity can garner fantastic results. Inspired by the image above, they produced sophisticated new versions of this historical logo, solidly grounded in the integrity of the brand.
Their designs are made up of:
the "Button" logo – "for marketing purposes";
the "Classic" logo - for use "in disaster situations, as well as times when a marketing-oriented button logo is not appropriate"; and the conceptual 'cross pattern' yet to be implemented.
Turner Duckworth's use of light and shade, texture and typography have really tightened up the identity of the American Red Cross, achieving that 'approachability' factor that's so important for charitable organisations. Interested in learning more?

We love this novel idea for giving your valentine a gift with a real difference. A shop window converted into a 'Cabinet of Dreams'. Behind its gothic, Victoriana charm this shop front supports a very good cause. As the face of the newest Women's Aid campaign it carries a message as sharp as Sweeney Todd's blade – that 'abusive relationships do not begin with violence, but often with gifts and flowers'. By investing in one of these items, you're supporting a Women's Aid campaign to raise money for victims of abusive relationships.

In this video Swiss Miss, Tina Roth Eisenberg, talks about the power of the personal project. Tina a graphic designer practicing in New York, talks about how she has organically left more and more client work behind to concentrate on her own personal graphic and website design projects.

Banksy has given the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool an early Christmas present of a new sculpture. The piece titled Cardinal Sin is a comment on the scandals that hit the Church along with the subsequent cover–ups.
Banksy had sawn off the face of an 18th Century replica stone bust and replaced it with bathroom tiles, in order to replicate the pixilation newspapers use to protect identities.
"It's a huge coup and we are sure his work will spark a reaction with visitors." said Reyahn King, director of art galleries at National Museums Liverpool.
Banksy requested that the piece be put on display alongside the art galleries period collection.

We have posted more about Banksy here.
The news every graphic designer has been waiting for… the colour we will all be using in 2012 is Tangerine Tango!
Leatrice Eiseman of Pantone says "There's the element of encouragement with orange, it's building on the ideas of courage and action, that we want to move on to better things. I think it would be a disservice to go with a relaxed, soothing color now,"
As we said last year we want to see this colour all over Brum. Its going to be the best thing that has happened to graphic and web design since… well since Honeysuckle!

Yes we have been bad of late, with not posting cool graphic design on here, but we will be better. For now check this video out! Pretty unbelievable, I dont know too much about the artist except he has a lot of patience! Great little motion design!

The new Tintin movie really pushes the boundaries of computer animation and 3D special effects, but we really love this graphic intro by James Curran. The unofficial title sequence features scenes from each of the 24 books. An excellent use of colour and smooth animation throughout it is well worth a look.
Dublin has recently been named one of three capital cities to be considered for the World Design Capital 2014. This is an accolade any great city would love to have, and there was great competition from over 50 cities including Cape Town and Bilbao who were also shortlisted.
So what was it about Dublin that made it stand out, against bigger, and I am sure some would say, more creative cities? We have talked about Dublin City on here before in an article we wrote for Created in Birmingham, and the creative atmosphere Dublin has, which is unique to the city. But of course the World Design Capital committee look at much more than just Graphic Design, the awarded city must have a deeper understanding of how design can enrich peoples lives. And this is what the Pivot Dublin bid showcases, looking at four distinct areas: Connecting Cities, Making Cities Lighter, Making Cities Flow and Making Cities Smile.
There are many great stories and articles on the Pivot Dublin website about how design has enriched and enhanced the lives of the people of Dublin. One such story is of the library in Blanchardstown, the jury saw an exhibition which explained how the Local authority was using the quality of the design of its public buildings to raise awareness and expectation that design quality mattered. Marguerite Murphy explained that 1800 people a day used Blanchardstown Library, and a queing system had to be put in place.
The Jury also visited The Grand Canal Square and Theatre, home to among other things the Offset festival. Offset is a must see for any design agency in Dublin, it gathers the biggest names in the design world for three days of events and talks. The orgainsers of the festival discussed how this self financed project came about.
The WDC will come to a decision as to what Capital city wins WDC 2014 in October, we think Dublin has a huge chance of winning this. It is a city that thrives on creativity and design.
Offset 2012 takes place on the 9–11th March in Dublin City Center.
The Pivot Dublin website has a lot more information on how Dublin was selected and what they plan on doing for 2014.

Typo London, is happening this October 20–22. Three days of presentations spread over two stages, with some really big influential names from the design world giving lectures.
I attended a similar event to this in Dublin a few years ago. The fantastic Offset, which included some big international names and also some local Dublin talent. Speakers at the Typo London event include Neville Brody, Michael Bierut, Erik Spiekermann, Tony Brook and Chip Kidd and many more.
Tickets are available from the Typo London website here but at £550 each it is not really open to everyone!
Now we are looking forward to seeing the line up for Offset 2012, hope the tickets are a bit more reasonable.
We posted work by Johnny Kelly on here before, like this one and this. We really like this animation he did for Chipotle Mexican Grill. The film tells the story of how a farmer turned his farm industrial. He no longer cares for the animals and has become motivated by money. The film features a special recording by Willie Nelson of Coldplays The Scientest. As the track says were going back to the start so does the farmer, he gets rid of the industrial machinery from his farm, and begins to take care of his animals once again.
Like a lot of Kellys work the colours are bright and playful and there is a lot of humor in the clip, but this underlines the serious message of industrialization. Kelly began his career in Dublin, Ireland, before moving to the UK.
The Nelson track is available to download and all the proceeds go to Chipotle Cultivate Foundation, which is committed to helping create a sustainable food supply and to raising awareness concerning food issues.

There has been a couple of new releases from Adobe lately in preparation for the arrival of HTML5. And the great news is that both these web packages are free downloads. First up was Adobe Edge, which we talked about here, and now they have released Adobe Muse.
Muse is a web package which lets you create rich HTML5 websites without knowing too much code. Much like Adobe Dreamweaver I guess, but the user interface is more like InDesign. Looking at some early videos it does look promising and easy to use. Lea Hickman, vice president of Design and Web product management at Adobe says "Those who have tested Muse are thrilled that something this intuitive yet powerful is now available."
Jason Prozora-Plein, quality engineer at Adobe, raises a good point, he says "people don't hand edit post-script or PDF files for print. In five, ten years I don't think very many people will be coding in order to design websites".
You can download a copy of Muse for free from the Adobe website:

With the advent of HTML 5, which we talked about here before, there is a lot of really cool things happening in website design and development. In order to keep up with trends Adobe have created Adobe Edge.
Edge is a new web motion and interaction design tool that allows web designers to bring animated content to websites, using web standards like HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3.
Edge will be updated regularly to add new functionality, stay ahead of evolving web standards, and incorporate user feedback to provide the best functionality and experience possible.
Edge has great potential and it should take over Flash for simple to medium projects. However, a lot of people are saying they wouldn't be surprised if it kills-off Flash in the long run.
Say hello to our new design studio mate. I think we have just named him Frank.
Huge thanks to Lisa and all at Inkygoodness. We will give him a good home.
We are really looking forward to the Character Totem homecoming show tomorrow night (27th of July 2011) in Zellig at the Custard Factory. We got to have a quick look yesterday morning before set up was finished and it is already looking great! We have never seen so much colour in one exhibition.
It promises to be a great night with live music, live drawing, stalls and beer! What more can you ask for?
The show itself is brought to us by Inkygoodness, after a successful trip to Berlin, they wanted to bring it home. The Inkygoodness mission is to showcase new and emerging talent in illustration, character design and lowbrow art. They have been organising shows since 2008, having a number of events across the UK. Most recently Berlin; debuting their first international exhibition as part of the Pictoplasma Character Walk earlier this year.
Tomorrow night will also be the launch of Issue 7 of AMMO magazine. So make sure you come down, join in and have a drink!
