Privacy Settings on FaceBook and Targeted Advertising
People have become worried about personal information they are sharing on Facebook. I have made three short videos that show you how to control some privacy and advertising settings on FB and in your browser.
This short video will show you how to change some privacy settings in your Facebook account that you might not know about. Watch the video, then change your settings so you control what information about you and your friends that you are sharing.
This video shows you how to control the types of advertising you are receiving while using Facebook.
AdChoices provides a free opt-out tool that will stop internet-based tracking in your browser. I heard about it on CBC radio. I have run the tool and opted out of all the companies that were sending me targeted advs. This tool will not stop you from seeing advs in your browser but it will stop the tracking that companies have been doing. This tool is provided by the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada in Toronto. It seems it is an effort to give consumers more information and choices about the advertising we receive online.
Painting: Corniglia, Italy 2017
I have just released my 2D interpretation of the view from the window where I stay while visiting in Corniglia, Italy, which is a lovely town, high on the cliffs in the Cinque Terre. The painting is water-based oils on wood and presents a colourful and fun representation of the town. It is the first of a series. More details may be seen here.

Words from Deb...My entire career has been filled with satisfied clients who have experienced positive and productive technology based learning with me. I know the technology, the terminology, and the tricks of the trade. Most of all, I know how to share what I know with my clients in a positive, stress-free, learning environment.
I am tech savvy with the ability to listen, demonstrate and explain what you are trying to do in words that everyday people can understand. I will help you with a follow-up plan of study and success. Individual and corporate training is available. I am currently presenting a series of workshops at Bluewater Health Hospital in Sarnia. What do I know?Check out the Software Support link to see a list of applications with which I am familiar and can help you achieve technological success. I am available for one-on-one learning, corporate training, website design, and as a keynote speaker.
Web Site DesignI have been building websites and teaching how to build sites since 1995. The secret to building a useful website is teaching the owners of the site how to maintain it on their own, so there is no need to pay any monthly editing fees. Examples of sites can be seen at: St. Thomas Elgin Second Stage Housing , Alma College Alumnae, Icap London, Rock Your Career Club.
STEGH HUGO ProjectIt was a wonderful team experience at the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital as it implemented HUGO throughout the hospital. HUGO is part of the Cerner® solution which enables physicians, nurses and other authorized users to share data and streamline processes across the entire organization.
I developed and delivered training sessions to over 300 nurses. We all learned together and finished up the classes ready to move forward with the new technology.
The photo shows me in my football jersey in "ready-to-go" position, just waiting for a nurse to call for help! The Art of London, written by Nancy G. Poole. is now available as a free download at:
http://www.mcintoshgallery.ca/docs/The-Art-of-London.pdf It took 90 hours for me to convert this original paper-based publication to an e-book. It has been made available by an anonymous donor for everyone to download for free. It is a wonderful read. I can honestly tell you that because I have read it at least 10 times! It is loaded with information and great stories about the progression of Art in London and our many artists.
