What is General Education?
To have a successful career, be a responsible member of our diverse society, and lead a fulfilling life, requires a wide range of skills and familiarity with a wide range of topics and issues. General Education is the part of a college degree that is dedicated to providing these skills and this knowledge base for all students.
Through General Education students gain skills that employers value. This includes learning to:
- Communicate effectively both orally and in writing
- Think creatively and critically
- Understand numerical data and its uses (quantitative literacy)
- Locate and use information efficiently and responsibly (information literacy)
- Work effectively with others in diverse groups.
Click here for an article on what employers are looking for in college graduates.
General Education typically includes courses in the Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences. These courses provide students with the knowledge they need to understand contemporary issues and teach them to approach these issues from a variety of different points of view. These courses also introduce students to the ways in which scholars make new knowledge in each of these fields and so prepare them to understand our rapidly changing world. Courses in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences also introduce students to different cultures and traditions and so prepare them to participate in our increasingly diverse society and interconnected world.
General Education at CSU
The General Education program at Cleveland State is distinctive in its emphasis on skill development and its focus on educating students for success in diverse workplaces and communities. Click here for a summary table of CSU's General Education requirements.
Students take two courses each in
- Arts and Humanities: click here for a list of courses
- Natural Sciences: click here for a list of courses
- Social Sciences: click here for a list of courses
One of the four courses in Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences must focus on Africa, Asia, Latin America, or the Middle East. Students also take one course focused on African-American experiences and one on social diversity in the United States (click here for a list of courses in these two areas).
Each of the courses in these areas also works to build at least two of the following six skills:
- Critical Thinking
- Group Work
- Information Literacy
- Oral Communication
- Quantitative Literacy
- Writing
Special emphasis is placed on quantitative skills and skills in writing. Students take either two Math courses or one Math course and one approved Quantitative Literacy course (click here for a list of courses). And students take two courses in English Composition (click here for a list of courses) and three Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) courses. Faculty members from across the university teach WAC courses that emphasize how writing works in their specific areas of expertise. Students can substitute a Speaking Across the Curriculum (SPAC) course for one WAC course (click here for a list of WAC and SPAC courses).
Each major includes at least one WAC course that focuses on writing for that specific field. This is just one of the ways in which General Education works with students' educations in their majors. Depending on the major, some General Education requirements may be fulfilled by courses that also count towards the major. And each major includes a Capstone course that polishes the skills that are most relevant to that major.
Students who have questions about their General Education requirements should meet with their academic advisor. For more information on determining which Advising office you should visit, click here

So you've got this beautiful bouquet you dreamed up using tips from Friday's post, now what? How does one keep this beautiful creation looking fresh and untouched for the entire day? Here are some tips that will aid in making sure your bridal bouquet is Pinterest worthy and will remain that way throughout your special day.
Hydrate it a little bit of H2O goes a long way. How would you look and feel if you were left parched for hours on end? It goes the same for your bridal bouquet. Most florists will deliver your bouquet in a vase with a teeny tiny bit of water. The reason for this is because your blooms need to drink and hydrate in order to look their best. Another thing to consider is the amount of water in the vase. You don't want that beautiful ribbon and embellishment to get even a bit wet before you say your I Do's so just a little bit will be just fine.
Handle with care many stems tend to bruise easily when touched. And some will even start to show bruising right away. In order to prevent this, resist the urge to touch the petals of your flowers. The oils from your fingers will start to show on them. Some blooms that are especially sensitive to bruising are Roses, Gardenias, and Callas.
Placement is key If you are not able to have someone in charge of bringing the vase to keep the bouquet in once you are out of your dressing or changing room try to keep the bouquet standing upright by gently having it lean against a bed or a chair. Same goes for those beautiful shots the photographer will take of your bouquet. Try to place the bouquet down on a side that have will have less impact on the petals and gently place on a bed or chair. As a bonus, those make for some amazing shots!
Camera ready by making sure your bouquet is camera ready you are already ensuring your stunning masterpiece will be seen all across Pinterest! To do this always have any embellishment facing towards the camera (meaning away from you and looking out instead). Or with the blooms facing outward (stems towards you). This way the camera will capture the bouquet at its best angle.
The switch up A lot of times brides lament having tossed their gorgeous bouquets at the reception. Lament no more, simply discuss with your florist beforehand. Have them create a smaller more simple version of your bouquet for the toss. This way the lucky gal that catches the bouquet will have an unforgettable memento from you and you get to take your beautiful bad boy home…and stare at it for a few more days. I know I did :)

The beautiful bride above is Michele whose wedding to Nick took place at St. Ann's Church in Lansing Illinois. It was quite warm for a June wedding, but a gorgeous day nonetheless.
This sneak peek will take us through the Getting Ready sessions at Vanis Salon and Day Spa in Schererville, Indiana all the way up to the reception at Chetniks Memorial Hall.
I can't say enough about Vanis and the staff there. It's a great atmosphere to prepare for your wedding day with all of your bridesmaids. Everything from the artwork on the walls to small details like the soft lighting in the makeup area made for a great experience.
Michele and her daughter Elizabeth got their hair done together. Her little girl was somewhat scared of me at first, but as the day went on she warmed up and began posing for my camera with ease. I like taking the little kid candids, but it always helps to gain their trust as you try to photograph them.
Wedding party formals took place before and after the ceremony at Centennial Park in Munster. It's a popular destination with a few outdoor wedding going on when we arrived to take photographs. I'm fond of the fun wedding party group photo on the golf carts that are assembled by the clubhouse.

St. Ann's Church in Lansing, Illinois was the destination for this Catholic wedding ceremony. It is located right on Ridge Road.

Chetniks Memorial Hall is located on Route 30 just behind Illiana Speedway in Schererville. The reception kicked off with the introduction of the twin junior bridesmaids mugging for the camera...
The bride and groom were awash in red light for their first dance of the evening. Michele's husband Nick proved to be quite the king of the dance floor. Stay tuned to this blog and the SBV Photography Facebook Page for images from Michele and Nick's June wedding. Thanks for taking a look at this sneak peek!!

Essential oils are oils that are distilled or pressed from plant material (e.g. leaves, flowers, roots, seeds, or peels). There is nothing added to an essential oil to extend or preserve the oil. Some essential oils are known as "commercial" and are blends of essential oils (i.e. Lavender 40/45% is a blend of Lavandula angustifolia, lavandin, and Linayl acetate, a naturally-occurring phytochemical found in lavender).
What are the differences among your two grades of lavender?
Our lavender is graded primarily by color and then by application.
Our #2 lavender is a greyish-blue color, with a strong and bright lavender scent. It is preferred for sachets, pillows, soaps, and other uses where the fragrance is desired above color.
Our #1 lavender is a good medium-blue color, with a more subtle floral lavender fragrance. It is best utilized for culinary dishes (particularly savory ones) and in display potpourri and crafts.

During this busy season with Mini Holiday Sessions lined up on my calendar, I have to consistently remind myself, to slow down, to take good care of myself, to fill up my own bucket before I can continue fill buckets for others.
As mothers, especially when you have multiple children, your world keeps spinning for your children, your husband, your extended families, friends, and co-workers. However, this mother of three decided to hit the pause button in her busy life, and enjoy a full-service family session with me that evening.
After we finished with group photos, as mom had requested in her pre-session consultation, we did a few individual portraits for each of her children, and some one-year-old portraits for her daughter. Her children were so well disciplined and cooperative that I had captured many beautiful images within just an hour! As we walked towards the lakeside, I decided to try something new for their session. I asked them to all sit on that gorgeous rock for some back-lit sunset portraits. We concluded our session as the family held hand and hand walking along the lake. This gorgeous moment will forever be kept in prints and in their memory.
That evening was filled with laughters, hugs, and kisses. Everyone in the family had a great time together. Mom's bucket was filled with overflowing joy and thankfulness. And behind the camera, I had such as great joy capturing these images and spending the evening with this family as well!

Is it true that you need to eat five times a day in order to lose weight?
I think to eat 5 times a day is a good thing, you eat 5 small meals in day (food amount should be the same or smaller then your average 3 meals). The thought behind i think is that you don't get too hungry before your next meal and don't overeat and it's easier to digest the food.
I think the right question is what foods i stop eating. Bread all kinds of bread for 2 weeks is a NO, after dark and holegrain bread. Regular potatos,white rice, and regular pasta is also no. Brown rice,stemded rice and holegrain pasta is ok. But what i did do, i tried to eat meat with all kinds of salads for lunch, soup or salads for dinner. Egs for breakfest. It's not for vegetarians. If you are interested in more, ask me 😄
I'm 14.
My usual bedtime is 10:00pm; I've tried going to bed at 9:00pm and 11:00pm but it doesn't help.
If I read, I won't stop until the book is finished...even my teachers complain that I read too much.

A windows beowolf cluster? Not quite, but Microsoft has released the second beta of their Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition. They are betting on Compute Cluster Edition to make the company a serious competitor in the high-performance computing market.
Microsoft chose the Supercomputing 2005 show, happening today in Seattle, to debut the new beta. Beta 2 is intended to allow customers to test how the software will perform in their data center, Kyril Faenov, directory of high-performance computing at Microsoft, said. "It is for customers deploying evaluation versions of our product in their infrastructure."
Zane Adam, director of marketing for the Windows Server division also let us know that Microsoft is set to announce they have set up ten high-performance computing centers in universities around the world to "drive both research in those institutions as well as the company's own efforts to produce software that is appropriate for compute-intensive environments"
"It's a two-way street," he said of the research centers. "Our platform is being used for a learning experience, and researchers are working on it so they can transfer their knowledge to us. It extends our research and development."
The centers have been set up at the following universities in the U.S.: University of Texas, University of Utah, University of Virginia, Cornell Theory Center at Cornell University and University of Tennessee. In the U.K., Microsoft has set up a high-performance computing center at Southampton University, and European centers have been established at the University of Stuttgart in Germany and Nizhni Novgorod University in Russia. In Asia, Microsoft has set up two institutes: one at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and one at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
To show its dedication to these institutions, Microsoft made a multiyear multimillion-dollar commitment. Each center is responsible for actively participating in conferences within the high-performance community, providing industry training, giving Microsoft feedback on its high-performance computing software and providing technology prototypes for the next version of Windows Compute Cluster Edition.
To say that Microsoft has an uphill battle ahead of them is probably an understatement. Unix/Linux has a strangle-hold on this particular market, but up until now Microsoft hasn't had any software that could compete. Only time will tell if Microsoft has a chance - just remember, the XBox was also doomed to failure.

Ian Melton wanted to add one extra tidbit to the Wizard World Portland report we ran earlier today. And it referenced a certain upcoming Avengers cover… Ian writes;
– Mike Deodato Jr. was busy catching up with other creators and professionals, such as Andy Mangels, but was happy to sign autographs. When asked about his upcoming Avengers guest spot he quickly defended, without being asked, "I did not draw the cover!" He followed with, "Hickman wanted dragons and ninjas and after doing research, which I'm still trying to figure out, the two didn't mash up as being Hong Kong. Ninjas, I had to tell him, are Japanese only!" I followed up with asking what they will be wearing and he said, "tuxedos mostly."
"Indiana Jones Temple of Doom type feel then?"
"Yeah! Plus Shang-Chi will get to kick major ass! But it's set in Hong Kong and will just be a fun crazy story, with lots of Shang-Chi!"

Classic Egg Whites Chocolate Buttercream/
My recipes tend to favor egg yolks for their wonderful flavor and emulsifying ability to make mixtures smooth and even. But I do have some really special recipes requiring egg white. I almost forgot this favorite one as when I think of chocolate buttercream my mind leaps immediately to dark intense ganache. Classic Egg White Chocolate Buttercream is a recipe I created for the Cake Bible twenty-five years ago. It is smooth and creamy, with a milk chocolate color, but packs a strong chocolate flavor. This is because uncooked egg whites produce a softer buttercream so more chocolate can be added without it becoming too stiff! This is one of the easiest buttercreams to make, but as the egg whites are not cooked it is best to use pasteurized egg whites such as Safest Choice.
Classic Egg White Chocolate Buttercream
Makes: 3-3/4 cups/35 ounces/1 kilogram (enough to fill and frost two 9 by 1-inch layers)
* your favorite bittersweet chocolate (56 to 63 percent cacao solids):
284 grams/10 ounces , melted and cooled til no longer warm to the touch but still fluid
* unsalted butter, (65˚ to 75˚F/19˚ to 23˚C):
4 sticks/ 454 grams
* 4 large egg whites (room temperature):
120 grams/1/2 cup (118 ml)
* sugar, preferably superfine
200 grams/1 cup
1) In a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk beater, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form when the beater is raised.
2) Gradually beat int he sugar until stiff peaks form when the beater is raised slowly.
3) Beat in the butter by the tablespoon. If the mixture looks slightly curdled, increase the speed a little and beat until smooth before continuing to add more butter.
4) Add the melted and cooled chocolate all at once and beat until smooth and uniform in color.
Store: 6 hours room temperature, 1 week refrigerated, 8 months frozen.
If refrigerated, allow it to come to room temperature before rebeating to prevent curdling.

Hey People! Sorry it has been so long! … I know right! But I have just come back from sunny Florida (My honeymoon) I had a gorgeous time, but I feel like I need another holiday to recover from that holiday! Haha
So anyways today I wanted to introduce you to a new product from Menage.
And that is the Hydrating Antioxidant Gel.
So a little bit about Menage if you have not heard of them before:
A British brand that are creating some of the best antioxidant products around with their fabulous ingredient Copper PCA.
Starting in 2010 with the amazing hand cream, they suddenly realised that there are so many men out there that need good anti-ageing products.
So my review of the Menage Hydrating antioxidant gel.
I must say since I was younger I was never a massive fan of gel type products, and the reasoning for this is because I tried one and I found it incredibly sticky…. And I don't like feeling sticky… but who does?
But since writing I have tried out many forms of gel based products from eye creams down to your facial moisturisers and I must say my opinion has definitely changed.
I obviously tried a bad one at the time ….
But the Menage hydrating antioxidant gel is one of those products that I like!
It seems to me that it puts your skin in to some sort of a detox and clears … shall we say it gets rid of all the rubbish within the skin.
This is one of those products that you have to keep using to see the results.
I have been using the Menage hydrating antioxidant gel for round about a month and my skin feels so clear! It has really helped eradicate any blemishes on my face!
What I also Love about this product is that it's so easily applied, and it sinks into the skin incredibly quick almost instantly… so no oily looking skin.
And as it is now winter my skin tends to get a few dry patches… this has also helped, I no longer have any winter dry patches on my skin.
This is a definite must try and for the price of £22 you wouldn't get a product this advanced for a price like that!
And I love the Menage packaging! All very pretty ……
So a bit about Copper PCA:
Yes when we think about copper, it's more like the pennies rolling around in your wallet, or in your bag (sounds more like me)
But when it comes to skincare Copper PCA or shall we say Peptides are derived from a form of acid.

Our Munich guide, Sofia Sokolov, is giving us an insider look at her personal art collection. Offering a strong knowledge of the contemporary art scene Sofia Sokolov has an academic and professional background in the history of art. Continue reading to see her top four pieces in her collection and learn why she continues to be inspired by them every day.
Guy Avital
The works of Israeli artist Guy Avital are geometric, aggressive, dynamic and can overwhelm the viewer by a socio-political fullness. Childlike motifs, collages, flying geometric forms, elements which often meet us in our everyday life build the component of Avital's works. His works are divided by three levels on perception: firstly, it is an aesthetic and harmonious form that brings the artist's work to perfection. The second level is the socio-political struggle with one's own environment. Kantian elements received a symbolic meaning when viewed in the context of conflict. And the third level of perception is purely subjective and refers to viewer's imagination. It is an infinity of details, which always makes the picture new and interesting. Forms that are always revealing a new composition from a different perspective, and dynamics that allow tension. This exact combination is what makes his work so charming and attractive to me.
Benyamin Reich
I love my collection and the work by Benyamin Reich is a very proud part of it! This work fascinates me again and again; the simplicity of the romantic landscape, the path that disappears in the horizon and the representation of Jerusalem under the snow is fascinating and melancholic at the same time. Benyamin chose a square format with black shadows, which increases the sensitivity of the image. From my point of view, Benyamin Reich is one of the most important photographers of Jewish art, who redefined the boundaries of orthodoxy and dissolved the framework of tradition.
Denise Winter
Denise Winter works with spatial reductions and alienation effects. Often a self-shot photographic original serves as a starting point for her constructivist exploration of architecture and landscape. With her pinhole camera shots, she manages to integrate the moment of the unpredictable into her artistic work and to use it in a productive way by creating new spatial situations. In her installation pieces, which depict a consistent further development of her photographs, she pursues the construction of new spaces. Shadow- and outlines, architectural corner situations are taken from their original context and transferred as autonomous forms – as cut out spaces – to aluminum and chipboards. During the next stage of her process, Denise Winter defamiliarizes the original form further; by rolling up the sheets or arranging them in layers she achieves a renewed transformation. Space is not the only element that finds a new counterpart in this way, her objects also address temporality when the layered or rolled material reveal the process of their formation.
Mihogo Ogaki
Japanese artist Mihogo Ogaki is probably the most dreamy and aesthetic artist in my collection. Her works deal with existential topics such as birth and death, thereby discussing philosophical issues of human life. Starting from scientific and evolutionism theory-based knowledge, Ogaki raises metaphysical, ontological and cosmic questions. Regarding the genesis of human life from a biological point of view, the embryo emerges from cell fusion and becomes a viable human being through cell division. All genetic information is individually determined within the DNA whose molecular consistency can be decoded by science in detail. Nonetheless, science has its limits. Questions such as "where do we come from and where are we going?" cannot be responded to in scientific terms. In my eyes my work by Mihogo represents the infinity of human feelings and the ways in which we perceive the universe. Her work realized the possibilities of a subjective representation of her own cosmos.

It's not the most beautiful set of starship deckplans out there, but it is usable, and the price is right.
Brief review: A perfectly adequate battle map for the price.
Detailed review: The cover image is the only other art in this pack. Details like landing gear or escape pods are not present. In fact, while the escape pods are mentioned, they are not mapped out, and there appears to be no way to get to them.
There are brief stats that look like stats from the Cortex system; I'm not very familiar with that system, so I'm just making a guess. There are some minor disconnects between the text. At one point, the ship lists a crew of 2, with single berths, and a passenger cabin with double occupancy. But that double occupancy berth is listed as "Captain's Quarters." Plus, the map places this berth very close to the cockpit/bridge of the ship.
The cargo capacity is listed as 50 tons, but the cargo area of the base model is only about 400 square feet (or about the size of a 2-car garage!). Obviously, this ship is designed for small cargo! Especially since cargo has to traverse an "L" shaped path in order to be loaded. There's also a map for a VIP passenger variant, where a luxurious suite replaces much of the cargo area. Finally, there is a passenger/medical transport floorplan with 4 additional passenger berths and a small medical bay.
The ship would be quite cramped, as is appropriate for such a vessel. Living on the Hornet would be like living in an RV or a sailboat: you can call it home if you have to, but it'll always be a treat to get out and stretch your legs. Especially with all the berths filled.
In conclusion, while there are certainly more elaborate ship plans out there, this does what it's supposed to do. There are a few quirks, but it will work just fine as a starter home for your space-faring PCs.

Problems and Workarounds
- First of all, the owner must make sure that your wine cooler gets the right current and electricity volume that it must operate properly.
- The owner should match these figures precisely to guarantee the internal needs from the cooler's equipment.
- Next, the owner must make certain the thermostat is in proper condition. If you have set some warmer temperature, then your owner may have trouble obtaining the cooler towards the preferred temperature.
- Compressor based wine coolers are the type that could possess the thermostat issues. Thermoelectric-based wine coolers most likely won't.When the cooler is positioned too near to a sunny place or any other appliance that allows off warmth, it might impact the amount of offered cooling.
- Next, search for the turn on the electrical socket. Again, these appear as apparent because the plug, but stranger everything has happened which is always smart to pay for the fundamentals first.Once the owner has covered any significant electrical issues they may have, they ought to start the cooler itself. Look all over the wine chiller, and make certain that any and each switch that's around the devices is turned on.
- Always, make sure to browse the instructions as carefully as possibly to know the way the wine chiller will be installed and hang up.If the owner has attempted everything they might, minus getting too technical, it is usually a good idea to the cooler's manufacturing company and requests to allow them to help. It might take a little longer to obtain the problem solved, but it's a much better idea to possess a professional handle it.
- Noise: This can be a fact of existence for individuals who made the decision to purchase a compressor-based wine cooler. Although they aren't very noisy, they'll still make some noise due to the mechanism inside.
But, when the cooler isn't situated properly, especially if you placed it on the ground, the owner may notice it generating noise of computer should. They ought to check to make certain the cooler's footing is guaranteed perfectly as you possibly can to lessen the noise.
If you place the cooler correctly, then look into the ventilation. Much like playing using the internal cooling, not getting sufficient ventilation may cause excessive noises since the cooler needs to continue to work harder to awesome correctly.
- Frost build-up: This is another problem that induces havoc using the wine bottles saved within the wine chiller. Frost build-up is often a consequence of two factors: humidity, or very low temps. When the owner notices any frost build-in their wine chiller, they ought to turn the cooler off, unplug it, and then take away the cold themselves. Once they find that all of the frost has formed, they can plug the cooler in and switch it back on.
- When the owner notices anymore frost accumulating once they have washed it already, they ought to call the maker and request for the aid of an expert.
- Clear Glass Door: Another key feature for any wine chiller may be the see-through clear glass door. As lengthy, because the cooler stays from the sun and excessive lighting, this can be a feature the owner can happily showcase. But, regrettably, the glass can fog up and make up excessive moisture. And, as annoying as this is often for that owner, it's the manifestation of an issue.
Check the nearby area. Whether it feels especially damp, much like with home windows, the glass will produce condensation. Even though the owner cannot fully control humidity aspect, he/she can enhance the temperature configurations. These features can counterbalance the humidity in the exterior and, hopefully, steer clear of the glass from clouding.
The last cause may be the constant, frequent lowering and raising from the door. The owner should keep the doorway shut as frequently as you possibly can. It doesn't only screw up the high-temperature control inside; however, the condensation will build.

Conclusion and Our Suggestions:
Apart from the temperature, this wine cooler is very eco-friendly. Unlike other coolers, Avanti cooler uses no compressor or even refrigerants. Simultaneously it works without oscillations. It securely cools and stores your bottles without noise.

The pride of the north, Susan Aglukark, interprets, for the first time, the revered carol.
Written in English and in Inuktituk, the language of Canada's Inuit people, the book is accompanied by a CD, which includes a reading in both languages and a performance by Susan. Also available in French and Inuktituk. An Aboriginal Carol is certain to become a classic.

This Dene-English story book was produced by the students and teachers of Ducharme Elementary School in La Loche, Saskatchewan, with assistance from local advisors and elders. Together, they wrote the story, translated it, and worked on the pictures.
Their goal was to highlight some aspects of Dene culture that were vital in the past and are still important today. They wanted to show the continuity of a genuine and successful way of life, and emphasize culturally-significant events and attitudes.
To produce the book, over 400 hundred students provided ideas for the storyline and art samples for the illustrations. Two hundred letters went out to the community families, asking for ideas and information with regard to story content. A dozen elders were consulted to provide accurate and culturally-correct information. A teacher committee of six worked on the project for two years.
Byron Through the Seasons is a story told by Grandfather Jonas and imagined by his grandson, Byron. The balloon diagram in each picture represents the symbolic journey taken by Byron as he listens to stories of what Dene life is like during the four seasons of the year.
Favored selection by the Canadian Children's Book Centre, Byron Through the Seasons: A Dene-English Story Book recalls early aspects of Dene lifestyle, from tanning and medicine to camping and food preservation.

Joe and Cody are young Cree brothers who follow the caribou all year long, tucked into their dog sled with their Mama and Papa. To entice the wandering herds, Joe plays the Kitoochigan, his accordion, and Cody dances, whirling like a young caribou. They are so busy playing and dancing, they don't hear the rumble of the caribou. Bursting from the forest, ten thousand animals fill the meadow like a lake. Joe is engulfed; he can barely see Cody a few yards away, perched like a doll on the caribou moss. Their parents seem to have disappeared.
And yet what should be a moment of terror turns into something mystical and magical, as the boys open their arms and their hearts to embrace the caribou spirit.
A tale that is perfectly simple and satisfying, yet infused with layers of wonder that will open both children's and adults' minds to the intriguing possibilities of independence, separation and the strength of the spirit, Caribou Song is the first in a three-book series about Joe and Cody.
"Caribou Song is a story of family, tradition, spirit, and livelihood. Music weaves the elements together, making them soar just as Highway's words and Rombough's art beautifully and evocatively express a way of life that has slipped (or is slipping) away. Rombough's illustrations in Caribou Song are strongly influenced by the Woodland (or Anishinaabe) School, with its emphasis on dark outlines, vivid colours, and visionary imagery. Founding member Norval Morrisseau's iconic style lives on in Rombough's work, but where they diverge is in the almost effervescent quality of Rombough's paintings. Bubbling with circular imagery and spots of amethyst, sapphire and topaz, framed in black and laid over flat washes of colour, each scene is like a pane of stained glass; a mix of storytelling and spirituality that is simply magnificent." — 32pages.ca
"Tomson Highway's mastery creates an exciting, action-packed plot. Elements of suspense simultaneously entertain beauty, magic, and whimsy. Highway artfully crafts his scenes with the vivid river imagery capturing the full drama of the caribou's presence - the sound of their hooves beating on the earth like the pounding of drums. Caribou Song is an experience for the senses. — CM Magazine

Help me Build this Blog!/
I'm now at over 100 blogposts, which means that many hours went into this blog about business model design and innovation. While I started this blog more as an experiment and as a thinking & knowledge base for myself more and more readers and visitors joined the journey.
Now I even feel the pressure of writing something useful for "my public". However, since I have to earn a living (and want to spend time with my family: 2 kids!) I allow myself a maximum of 1-3 hours per post - even if it is at the expense of quality.
To get things more focused and offer you real value I would be interested in your feedback about this blog. I already receive a lot of emails regarding the business model concept and some compliments for the blog, but I still get very little feedback helping me improve my blog.
Let me ask you some questions:
- Which parts of my blog do you most enjoy or hate?
- Are the templates I make available useful?
- Do you like the webcasts?
- Do you enjoy the less conceptual postings - e.g. news style?
- What would you want to see more on my blog?
- Can you apply the things I write about in your daily work?
- Did you ever use the search function on my blog?
- Anything else on your mind (related to this blog ;-)
Please take a short break to respond to some of the above questions. It would help me improve this blog and increase the value of the time I spend writing (-> Return on Time Investment - RoTI)

Daisy - to win Sunday would be massive for us
Report by David Brenchley
Page last updated at 10:02PM UTC, Wednesday, 03 May 2017
The Charlton womens travel to the Lamex Stadium, Stevenage, on Sunday hoping to complete a cup double - and regain the FA Womens Premier League (FAWPL) Cup in the process.
It will be the final match in an enthralling series of clashes between Charlton and London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, the current FAWPL Cup holders.
After Spurs, who tied up the FAWPL South title a fortnight ago, were victorious in the first two games, including retaining the Ryman Cup, Charlton regrouped and have hit back with a vengeance.
The Addicks won the next two despite going a goal down in both, the latest of those being the Capital Cup – a trophy they have now won for four successive seasons.
So, as well as being "the big one", it is also the decider between two sides who are extremely closely matched. And, although it wouldn't make up for the disappointment of losing out on the league title, midfielder Daisy Monaghan says it would be "massive" for the club and players to end the season with two trophies.
"This is the big one – the one that we all want to win," she said. "Like Riteesh has said, this is one of the biggest games for us and we have to do what we did in the last two games and keep pushing on.
"We didn't deserve to be 1-0 down [in the Capital Cup] at all – [nor in the league game] the weekend before, I thought. We started both games really well and we've done what we've been asked to do.
"It just shows the character of the girls and how much we've come on from when we lost a couple of months ago.
"To end the season with two bits of silverware would be massive for us. Obviously we let ourselves down in the league and I think all the girls know that. We do want to add that second piece of silverware to the cabinet."
The young central midfielder was given a big brief in the Capital Cup final – playing holding midfielder against a strong, physical side from the start. And the 19-year-old did not look out of place, having made giant strides since stepping into the first team fold from reserve team football earlier in the season.
Now, she will be hoping to be given a similar role
"I was happy that Riteesh trusted me to go in and play and give me such a responsibility, especially sitting in front of the back four," she continued. "The players I had around me helped me get through it – they all spoke to me.
"[Playing in the first team has] been good. Obviously it's going to take some time to get up to the speed and the awareness and everything of everyone else in the team but I think the more game time I get, the more it'll come.
"I know I can play a lot better than I have been so I just want to keep building on it and improving every game. Playing against better players, playing with better players like the girls in the first team at the moment really does help you.
"You can see what they're doing and you have to up your game when you're playing against players like the girls in the Tottenham team and push yourself to keep with them."

(Lindsey Wasson) In a nostalgic, high-energy concert Wednesday night at KeyArena, celebrated California rock band the Eagles showcased its rich musical history with personal anecdotes, documentary footage, dazzling videos and a 27-song parade of hits that included "One of These Nights," "Take It to the Limit" and "Hotel California." A capacity crowd of mostly middle-aged fans cheered, clapped and sang along to the tunes that propelled the band to stardom in the 1970s and defined the laid-back California sound of the era — a blend of country, folk, rock and blues. Though there was no opening act, the show was stocked with enough Joe Walsh songs to make his spotlight segments seem like a concert within a concert. The nearly three-hour concert — part of the band's summer 2013 "History of the Eagles" tour, which resumed in Seattle after an August recess — opened when Don Henley and Glenn Frey, on acoustic guitars and vocals, took the stage for the wistful country-rock ballad "Saturday Night." "This portion of the show is meant to give you a feeling of what it was like in the early summer of 1971," Frey said, recalling the band's first sessions at a hole-in-the-wall studio in Los Angeles. Guitarist and singer Bernie Leadon, an original Eagle appearing on the "History" tour, joined them for "Train Leaves the Station." He was followed by singer-guitarist Timothy B. Schmit for a beautiful "Peaceful Easy Feeling," featuring four-part harmonies. Finally, guitarist and singer Joe Walsh strolled out for the bluesy "Witchy Woman," adding his distinctive guitar sound to the second single from the band's self-named 1972 debut album. For the next segment showcasing the band's second album, "Desperado," a curtain rose to reveal an elaborate set of video screens at the rear of the stage. "Doolin-Dalton," about a band of Old West gunslingers, was followed by "Tequila Sunrise." Sepia-toned film clips linked the '70s rock stars to the gunfighters of another era. The show's third segment began with Frey on a soaring "Already Gone," accompanied by a humorous video of the singer-guitarist motoring across the U.S. in a red Mustang convertible. "Best of My Love" (the band's first No. 1 single, in 1974), "Lyin' Eyes" (written after observing the patrons at an Italian restaurant on L.A.'s Santa Monica Boulevard), "One of These Nights" and "Take It to the Limit" followed. Backing the quartet of Henley, Frey, Schmit and Walsh were musicians Leadon, drummer-percussionist Scott Crago, guitarist Steuart Smith (filling the role of former guitarist Don Felder); and keyboardists Richard Davis, Will Hollis and Michael Thompson. On some songs, more than half the musicians on stage joined in on vocal harmonies, giving the tunes a rich, full sound. After a short intermission the band returned with "Pretty Maids," "I Can't Tell You Why," "New Kid in Town" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive." The crowd came to its feet for the bluesy, hard-rocking "Heartache Tonight" (which Frey said had been inspired by the Beach Boys' version of "Barbara Ann"). Walsh, looking more youthful than his fellow bandmates in a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt, leather pants and two-toned shoes, sang the lead vocals on "In the City" and "Life's Been Good" (which also showcased his bluesy, hard-rocking guitar style). The latter was accompanied by a cartoonish video of Walsh in a Godzilla suit stomping through a metropolis. A howling version of the James Gang's "Funk No. 49" featured Walsh and Frey on dueling guitars. The main set closed with the spirited "Life in the Fast Lane." For the first encore, Smith played double-necked guitar on the band's signature "Hotel California" (with Henley on lead vocal). The second and final encore featured a trio of classics —"Take It Easy," Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" (using a "talk box" to modify the guitar sound) and the timeless "Desperado."

All the latest news and reviews from Las Vegas: CES 2012 Special Report
Dell has just unveiled its first Ultrabook, the XPS 13 which promises a 13.3in screen in the same sized chassis as a traditional 11in laptop.
Just like the HP Envy 14 Spectre crams a 14in screen in a 13.3in body, Dell has achieved this feat by using an edge-to-edge screen to make the most of the space available.
The Dell XPS 13 will be available to order in February and will come with either Core i5 or Core i7 Sandy Bridge processors. It will be just 6mm thick at its thinnest point and will be manufactured out of machined aluminum.
The bottom of the XPS 13 will be made of carbon fibre to help reduce weight (under 1.35 kg) and to also make it feel better when using it on your lap.
Jeff Clarke, vice chairman of Dell, announced the new Ultrabook at the Intel keynote at CES this evening and said the new laptop will feature Intel's Smart Connect technology, rapid start technology, an 8.5 hour battery life and it would also be enterprise-ready with TPM, Dell Pro Support and a full range of configuration services available.
We'll be going hands-on with the XPS 13 in the coming days here at CES so check back soon for a full preview of Dell's new laptop when we'll have details on pricing and more concrete release dates.

Photography and short story: Joel Stevenett
Text: Anna Sanders
"It's a document of a place during a major change in the city's history, and I thought it was important enough to photograph what it looks like. At least my version"
Cracked asphalt and peeling paint betray a city in a state of abandon; the residents wait, ash turns grey skies greyer. Hamilton – a city that lies within Canada's industrial centre, on the aptly named 'rust belt' – was once defined by its thriving business of steel, an industry that has been in steady decline since the 1980s. Following the closure of US Steel (formally Stelco) toward the end of 2015, Joel Stevenett returned to Hamilton to document a community on the cusp of change and preserve its shifting landscape in his series poetically named The Hammer – "for me it evokes early images of a place that was built by forging metal with metal. It's not unusual to walk down one of Hamilton's quieter streets and hear the familiar echo of banging metal as it ricochets off factory walls"
Born forty-five minutes away in the Niagara Region, this outline of industry etched into the sky formed the backdrop to Stevenett's memories growing up. Never fully appreciating the uniqueness of Hamilton and its people until he revisited the city after six years absence and heard the announcement that one of the US's largest steel mills would soon be closing, The Hammer is his quiet paean to those caught in the maelstrom of change. "I think being in the middle of a transformation can be very isolating; clinging onto a way of life that is quickly disappearing and not knowing in which direction you should move".
There is a sense of being passed by, of being forgotten in his images: a stop sign gives directions on an empty road; a stone lion looks out from its plastic bindings; a graffitied wall stands in memoriam to a closed down store, it's tributes scrawled onto aging concrete – 'Kenesky's, ur the best'.
"I haven't actively sought out isolation as a theme. The close proximity of Hamilton to Toronto means that the majority of people have passed the city by for, what most people believe, is a brighter future in Canada's biggest city. And although there seems to be concentrated efforts to rejuvenate [Hamilton's] downtown, there are still very large areas where people just aren't found." This sense of segregation colours Stevenett's wistful images; residents look out from behind glass in quiet reverie, pollution paints Northern Lights onto the sky, yet there is always an indelible sense of intimacy with the residents, an unbreakable community spirit. "Hamiltonians are lovely people who are proud of where they come from – I'd like the viewer to have a sense of that".
Stevenett, informed by his experiences during the project and his, at times, indifferent childhood memories, has written short stories about the city. The narrative of which are at once unsentimental and disarmingly emotive; below we share the previously unpublished Ripper, alongside a selection of work from The Hammer.
The wind cuts my face with a million invisible knives as I pray for numbness to settle in. "You can't go two blocks without hitting a Tim Hortons in this city. When are they gonna get a fucking Starbucks?"
At the mercy of the wind, a thin layer of snow hovers quickly above the street making tiny hurricane-like movements that appear and disappear as cars pass. We're walking fast – almost running – down Jackson Street East, mid-morning, with our hands shoved deep in our pockets when without warning my friend yells, "Ripper!" It's Ray, an old high school friend neither of us has seen in over 10 years.
Wrapped up against the elements, only his head is visible, with pockmarked skin and awkward, long, red, shoulder length hair that penetrates the white of the snow covered city. He walks towards us, a large coffee cup in hand, and with his whole mouth, slurps it back while greeting us enthusiastically.
We attempt the requisite small talk but he's distracted and slightly manic, shuffling his feet while he speaks with us and misremembering most details of our high school years. The bizarre conversation is made too brief at Ray's abrupt farewell.
We awkwardly part ways with him and try to find the nearest lunch spot to warm our bones. An hour later we're immersed in a cloud of exhaust and slush as we exit the restaurant. A car roars, spinning its wheels next to us and shotguns itself into oncoming traffic revealing Ray in the opposite alley fixedly pouring a mickey of vodka into his Tim Hortons cup.
We keep our eyes focused on him for a moment and as we pass he lifts his cup up in a grand salute and waves. We wait for him to call our names but after we hear nothing we continue down the street, enveloped in a sudden blizzard.
Two men stand outside the Italo-Canadian Social Club watching the city churn and sputter.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - The Regents (2-8) ended their 2-game trip to the Daytona Beach Shootout with a 43-34 wire-to-wire victory over the Lasell College Lasers (2-6). Rockford used its stifling defense to secure its second win in the last four games, while forcing the Lasers into their worst offensive output of the season. The Regents held the Lasers to a season-low 34 points and a season worst 18.0% shooting from the floor. Rockford was also extremely dominant on the boards, outrebounding Lasell 58-37.
Rockford never trailed in the game and did not even allow a basket until nearly 6 minutes in. The Regents opened on a 5-0 run over the first 5:40 of the game, capped off by a made jumper from senior Lexie Collins (Earlville, Ill.). Lasell would answer with a made layup on its next possession for its only points of the entire first quarter. The Regents then closed the quarter on a 4-0 run, jump-started by a made three-pointer from Neve Yerk (Belvidere, Ill.). Rockford's two points allowed in the quarter were by far its lowest of the season. The Regents also held the Lasers to a dreadful 6.3% shooting in the opening period, including going 0-for-7 from beyond the arc.
Much like the first quarter, the Regents opened the second quarter with another 5-0 run to extend their lead to at the time a game-high 12 points. Guards Katie Hart (Davis Junction, Ill.) and Neve Yerk combined to score all five of the points to give their team a 14-2 lead. The Regents continued to hold onto a 10-point lead for the remainder of the second quarter as Rockford entered the half with an 18-8 advantage. The eight points allowed in the first half was again a season-low for the Regents as they held the Lasers to just 9.7% shooting, including 0-for-10 from three-point range.
The third quarter nearly featured more points (34), than the entire rest of the game combined (43). Both Rockford and Lasell caught fire from long range as each drained four three-pointers in the period. Katie Hart and Nicole Silvers (Byron, Ill.) both opened the half on fire, as the each connected on their first three-pointer of the day to extend Rockford's lead to at the time game-high 16 points. Rockford's three-point barrage was far from finished, as Neve Yerk and Nicole Silvers each found the bottom of the net from beyond the arc to give the Regents a 33-16 lead. However the Lasers closed the quarter with an 11-0 run, including a trio of three-pointers, to cut Rockford's lead to just six points heading into the fourth.
Rockford would once again flex its defensive muscles in the fourth quarter, as the Regents held the Lasers under 10 points in a period for the third time in the game. The Regents opened the quarter with a 7-2 run led by three points form Linzy Keller (Rockford, Ill.) to push their lead back to double-figures at 40-29. Lasell never got any closer than eight points for the remainder of the day as Rockford cruised to a 43-34 win.
The Regents got excellent contributions from numerous players on Wednesday. Freshman Neve Yerk recorded the Regents first double-double of the season with 10 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 1 assist. Nicole Silvers also hit double-figures in the game with 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 assist. Tajanae Key (Glendale Heights, Ill.) dominated the paint with a career-high 18 rebounds, 5 points, 2 steals and 1 assist. Katie Hart turned in a solid all-around game with 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
The RU women's basketball team returns to the court on Saturday, December 30 at Alverno College. Tip-off is set for 7:00 PM.
