Artists — when they've been able to survive in part or in whole off using their experience and talent as an artist; or successfully trained themselves as a fine artist through college and university, are valuable assets to the business world and any work environment. |
Focused Paths Make Versatile People |
When you are forced to double-down so intensely on a single craft, or sub-set of related techniques and practices, as a person you naturally develop tendencies that can be easily translated to quickened proficiency elsewhere. |
My perspective as an observer has shown me that fine art students go through more-or-less the same processes that apprentices and journeymen go through in any other trade, craft, or industry. The added bonus is that depending on the specific program or focus at their institution… some artists have to be both the appren... |

Type Hype Stereotype |
Not all artists are Type A personalities that lend themselves to climbing the corporate ladder. However these Type A tendencies within all artists are required and grown as they learn to shape their craft, promote their work, and accomplish their goals. |
This means a versatile hire that has a proven track record of picking up new skills, honing them to a fine point, and solving problems in a creative way that often connects multiple big picture themes or concepts. Moreover, as most artists tend to have a tactile approach and feel to what they're working with, they're c... |
When you're hiring for your office, and you see a BFA on the resume, pay extra attention to see how that individual may mesh with your organization. Individual mediums and focus of study aside, artists are more than people that are predisposed for great design and creativity. They're used to trial by fire, building the... |
Each industry continues to struggle with illness and a lack of replacement staff. We are no different. The message to families around staffing numbers and the possibility of moving to remote learning was not issued to raise alarm but to merely be transparent and ensure everyone was informed in case our staffing numbers... |
We are, however, being proactive and seeking alternative options to remain open and ensure continuity of learning for our students. The Catholic Education Office continues to support us in our endeavours by looking at system-wide solutions. Many of the options proposed haven’t been feasible. We continue to work as a Pr... |
Please know that closure is our last option. We continue to do all we can, as we have done throughout the pandemic over these last two and a half years.

We thank our families for their continued support and encouragement. We will get through this together. |

My Introduction to Evernote |
Home Announcement My Introduction to Evernote |
By Dani Smith February 20, 2017 |
When I started using Evernote – about five years ago – I was looking for a way to organize my professional life. I was a project manager with multiple projects, too many meetings, and no one place to store my resources. |
Problem: In an industry with a lot of regulation, where could I keep my links for online reporting, compliance manuals, and copies of forms together? |
I needed to be able to store different media types (documents, photos, voice memos, links) |
I needed to store different file types (.doc, .pdf, .jpg, .png) |
I needed to have access on a PC in the office, but on Apple products remotely |
And above all, I was self-aware and knew that the system needed to be INCREDIBLY easy to use (or I would never truly integrate it into my workflow). |
After looking at a number of solutions available at the time, Evernote stood out as the leader. They were a cross-platform solution, with incredible search functionality, and a number of ways to get my data into the system. This meant I could drag and drop a file while on my PC, or take a photo using my phone, and all ... |
Fast forward to 2014. I was starting a new job and meeting more new people than I could track. I had a stack of business cards a few inches thick, and the idea of taking the time to enter all of these new contacts into my Outlook was daunting…until I remembered that Evernote offered a Premium service that scanned busin... |
Fast forward again to 2016. I had recently started my business. Evernote was already an important part of my daily workflow – so much so that I followed their blog and twitter accounts to pick up additional tricks. One post that caught my eye was a call-out to users who were interested in a certification program. They ... |
Within a couple of months I had been contacted, completed the course, and officially named an Evernote Certified Consultant. I have learned even more ways that Evernote can be used to create order in my professional and personal life. I use it to track my expenses, organize standard operating procedures, and have noteb... |
That being said, I will be sharing some of my favorite features on this blog. If you are not yet an Evernote user, download the Basic version here. It is free, and can be used on up to two devices. If you have questions along the way, feel free to ask in the comments. If you think you, or your business, could benefit f... |

Anti-ScienceRantRepublicans |
Many times have I read The Bad Astronomer rant about the anti-science forces in the current administration. We've heard complaints from officials at NASA, we read about the "alternative explanations" for the formation of the Grand Canyon, on sale at Grand Canyon National Park book stores. And now we hear from former Un... |
Dr. Carmona spoke at length with Judy Woodruff on the Newshour with Jim Lehrer. Attempts to stifle science for political ends are not new: |
JUDY WOODRUFF: At this hearing today, it was not only you, but it was your Democratic and your predecessors of both Democratic and Republican administrations who spoke of conflicts with the administration. But you said your experience was worse under this administration. What did you mean? |
DR. RICHARD CARMONA: Well, let me put it in context. It really wasn't me. It was my predecessors who, after I was in office a few months, went to them for counsel, for mentoring, and mentioned to them the struggle I was having. And they recounted to me all the struggles that they had and said that is the way the surgeo... |
JUDY WOODRUFF: And what were they basing that on? What was happening to you? |
DR. RICHARD CARMONA: Their observations that the surgeon general was not allowed to speak out on health issues when needed, based on the best science, to deliver the best science, that often policy or spokespersons in government would be talking about given issues without appropriate scientific due diligence. And they ... |
But Carmona's predecessors agree that this suppression is worst ever under King George the Puerile: |
JUDY WOODRUFF: And was it worse under this administration or not? |
DR. RICHARD CARMONA: Well, again, my reference point is solely this administration. It is my colleagues who came to me, several surgeon generals, Loop, Satcher, Novello, Julius Richmond, going back to the '70s, who all said, "We had to fight battles, but nobody has had it as bad in this partisan environment as Surgeon ... |
Is there a doctor in the White House – anywhere? |
"God Forgave Me, So Piss Off…" |
Well, that's what I heard in Senator David Vitter's statement. |
Did you catch Sen. David Vittner's profound apology? Did you feel his remorse at getting caught? He jumped right to the chase. Amazing! Ted Haggard took a few days, went away for a miracle cure for his indiscretions. But Vitter informs us he talked to the Big Guy a long time ago. It's over. CNN reports: |
"This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible," Vitter said in a statement given to reporters Monday night. "Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and from my wife in confession and marriage counseling." |
So, let's take a step back. Some restraint is in order here. It's so easy to just mock these guys when they are exposed for who they really are — when they tell us outright who they really are, and have been, for a long, long time. Let's just stick to the facts. That's all we really need here. The Moral Majority, that ... |
You told us who you are, Senator. You told us who you have been for a long, long time. You allegedly took calls from alleged D.C. madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, according to news reports. All the while you were fighting the Left. |
I didn't hear remorse, Senator. I would have heard remorse if you had spent the past several years as champion to the poor, showing some understanding for the rest of humanity. But you didn't. |
I heard arrogance. I heard you telling all of us to piss off. "I got caught. Already settled with God. Go away. Piss off."<eot>Tacos – That Queer Derby Taco |
