George Zimmerman trial
Ethics Note To CNN's Don Lemon: "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt" Is A Stringent Standard And The Jury Knows Best…And I'm Withdrawing My Endorsement For President
February 17, 2014 / Jack Marshall / 41 Comments
Stop blaming the juries!
Once again, a criminal trial with racial overtones has caused an outbreak of criticism over a jury verdict and the jury system, by those who have a professional obligation to know better.
This time, it's the so-called "loud music case," that just ended with the accused, Michael Dunn, convicted of four charges (three of attempted second-degree murder) with the fifth charge, first-degree murder, resulting in a jury stalemate. Dunn claimed that he acted in self-defense when he repeatedly fired a gun at an SUV containing four African-American teens in 2012, over an altercation regarding their playing music too loudly. One of those teens, unarmed 17-year-old Jordan Davis, was killed by his gunfire.
CNN news anchor Don Lemon, in a series of rants on his show and also on Twitter, announced to his audience that Dunn should be convicted of first degree murder, and that Lemon would be outraged if he was not. Continue reading →
Unethical Quote of The Month: Martin Luther King III
August 24, 2013 August 29, 2013 / Jack Marshall / 13 Comments
"The vision preached by my father a half-century ago was that his four little children would no longer live in a nation where they would judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. However, sadly, the tears of Trayvon Martin's mother and father remind us that, far too frequently, the color of one's skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder with no regard for the content of one's character."
–— Martin Luther King III, the son of the martyred civil rights leader and humanist, speaking in front of the Lincoln memorial before thousands gathered on the National Mall to commemorate the upcoming 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1963 March on Washington, and his iconic "I have a dream" speech.
The passage was despicable and inexcusable, an insult to his father's legacy and all of the courageous and sincere Americans, black and white, who have worked hard and effectively this past half-century to make remarkable progress toward the society that Rev. King envisioned.
"The tears of Trayvon Martin's mother" have exactly nothing at all to do with racial profiling or a "license to murder." King's son, proving once again that greatness of character and mind is seldom passed on to succeeding generations, chose to engage in divisive, misleading and cheap rhetoric that undermine his father's goal of bring the races together. In this he was certainly consistent with the motivations of the event's organizers, prominent among them Al Sharpton, whose paycheck and existence on the national scene depends on furthering the illusion of widespread racial discord, prejudice and injustice.
Even allowing for the excesses of oratory, the younger King's speech deliberately misrepresented the historical, legal and factual record, which is this: a mixed-race citizen was pre-judged to be guilty of racism and murder by the color of his skin, and then demonized in order to provide a rallying point for a race-based political agenda. The civil rights establishment, aided by a complicit media and irresponsible politicians, distorted the facts of a tragic encounter so effectively that most Africans-Americans believe the lies rather than the facts, and bullied a politicized prosecution into bringing a criminal case to trial it could only win by jury intimidation, for it did not have sufficient evidence. Against all odds, a courageous jury embodied the best of the American justice system by properly acquitting an unpopular defendant who could not be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, a standard that is crucial to maintaining racial justice in the courts. Despite this inspiring display of character, the organizers of today's event, its supporters, and most of those in attendance, have chosen to judge those jurors as biased, comparing them to the bigoted jurors in the Emmett Till murder trial, based on the color of their skin.
How immensely hypocritical, destructive and sad.
Martin Luther King propelled the cause of racial harmony and justice forward on August 28, 1963.
Today his son made pushed that cause backward to-day in favor of hate, suspicion, and ignorance, 50 years later.
How Dangerous Lies Become Accepted Truth: D.C. Theater Embraces The False Emmett Till-Trayvon Martin Comparison
If we want it to be true, then it will be true…
I awoke to find this in my Washington Post Style Section this morning, in the column devoted to notable events in D.C. theater. My personal Facebook page is fairly well linked to the Washington , D.C. theater community, so I decided to register my disgust there. I'm continuing it here, and in the interest of economy, will simply repeat what I just posted on Facebook.
I will just add this: I foolishly assumed that the irresponsible, and either ignorant or malign attempts to equate the killings of Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin were isolated examples of race-baiting excesses, and would be widely rejected and debunked by more responsible figures and authorities. Not only did this not happen, but that indefensible comparison, and the damaging falsehoods it is intended to plant, like a deadly virus, in our national fabric, is beginning to take hold as truth.
Anyone, regardless of race and political or ideological belief should be able see how intolerable this is. Everyone has an obligation to do what they can to stop it.
Here is my Facebook post. Continue reading →
Ethics Dunce, Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman Ethics Train Wreck Division (Yes, It's Still Rolling!): Oprah Winfrey
Oprah, Sharpton…Sharpton, Oprah. At this point, not much difference. A lot less than between, say, Trayvon Martin and Emmett Till…
At this point, Oprah's not just a passenger on the Train Wreck, but doing her best to be its engineer.
Last week, in an interview, Oprah thoroughly debased herself by opining, in defiance of history, facts and fairness, that the death of Trayvon Martin and the torture and lynching of Emmett Till were equivalent episodes. "Let me just tell you: in my mind, same thing," Winfrey said. About the same time The New York Daily News ran this despicable inflammatory front page:
I decided to let it go. I had already written about how untrue, dishonest and intentionally divisive comparisons of the Martin case to Till were, and frankly, I would rather write about something other than the most revolting and damaging episode of society-wide race-baiting within my lifetime. I had already scolded Oprah for one race-related ethics foul this month, and she is only one among many offenders in these depressingly divisive times. (Full Disclosure: I was once employed as an ethics expert for a regular feature in "O" Magazine) Oprah, however, is making the rounds promoting "The Butler," and she doubled down on this irresponsible position while talking to Anderson Cooper.

Ethics Hero Emeritus: Willie Reed ( 1937-2013)
July 25, 2013 January 1, 2014 / Jack Marshall / 9 Comments
I began the day, to my surprise, with tears in my eyes from reading an obituary on the front page of today's Washington Post.
The story announced the death of Willie Reed, who as an African American teenager in 1955, risked his life by testifying in a Mississippi court against the white men who had tortured and murdered Emmet Till, another black teenager, for the Jim Crow "crime" of allegedly whistling at a white woman.
The intensity of my emotional reaction surprised me. I think it was the product of being reminded of the horrific tragedy that befell Till and other black citizens at the height of segregation, and being slapped in the face with the reality, known to me but kept deep in the place in my brain where the ugliest things are sealed away to keep me from incurable despair, of the deranged hate that festered so long—and destroyed so many— in the country I love. I was also overcome with admiration and wonder at the almost unimaginable courage of Reed, who knew that by testifying in open court he was simultaneously guaranteeing that he would be marked for Till's fate for the rest of his life. Maybe most of all, I wept out of anger at my ignorance and the warped priorities of our culture and educational system, which ensures that we know the names and life stories of insignificant narcissists like Kim Kardashian, embarrassing political leaders like Michele Bachman, greedy athletes like Lance Armstrong, and cynical demagogues like Al Sharpton, but know nothing of the lives and deeds of unglamorous American heroes like Willis Reed. I consider myself an educated man, but I had never heard of him, which means I am not educated enough. I wish I could apologize to Reed. I wish I could shake his hand. I wish I could say, "thank you." Continue reading →
For Those Willing To See It, The Justice Department's Conduct Regarding George Zimmerman Is Definitive Proof Of Corruption
July 17, 2013 / Jack Marshall / 71 Comments
When John Mitchell starts looking good, you know we have an Attorney General problem…
President Obama and Eric Holder are feeling great pressure, says the Washington Post, to bring federal charges against George Zimmerman. All of the President's most vocal supporters want a federal prosecution to address the "injustice" of the Florida jury's acquittal of the man who shot Trayvon Martin. Yet informed observers, analysts, academics and attorneys both in and out of the Justice Department say that the likelihood of a conviction would be small or non-existent. A civil rights prosecution would have to prove racial animus and hatred on Zimmerman's part, and there is just no evidence of that, as the trial just concluded shows.
There is no evidence of a civil rights violation. Since there is no evidence, there is no genuine issue or controversy. Unscrupulous organizations, self-interested activists and ignorant citizens, all apparently firmly in the political camp headed by President Obama and Attorney General Holder, his loyal lieutenant, are calling for a prosecution that will continue a vendetta-based persecution predicated on false assumptions and bias. And my question is… Continue reading →
Unethical Blog Post of the Month (Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman Ethics Train Wreck Division): "The Wire" Creator David Simon

Well, that's one more show I won't be watching on Netflix…
On his blog, the creator of the critically-praised HBO drama "The Wire" hit all the marks of Trayvon Martin derangement—misstatement of facts, ignorance of the law, presumption of guilt without proof, unreasoning fury, and appeal to violence. David Simon wrote, Continue reading →
A Question For The Zimmerman Verdict Protesters: What Do You Think You're Protesting?
July 15, 2013 / Jack Marshall / 127 Comments
The protests of the George Zimmerman acquittal taking place around the country on campuses and cities has been largely peaceful, which is something, I guess. Nonetheless, pointless and misguided protests are, in my view, unethical, as those of you who recall my posts about the Occupy movement will recall. They waste public resources, inconvenience bystanders, and risk violence, not to mention trivializing a key tool of democracy. If you are going to demonstrate, you are ethically obligated to have your facts and grievances straight and clear, and a practical objective in mind. By this measure, the post-verdict "Justice for Trayvon" protests fail.
What do protesters mean when they chant, "Justice for Trayvon," now? What do they want, and why do they think it is reasonable to want it? I have listened to and read so many radio hosts, talking heads, experts, lawyers, activists, callers, friends and relatives on this story, and the truth is this: those who are angry about the verdict and want to sign petitions and carry placards about it cannot articulate a single legitimate reason that is supportable by fact or law. Not one.
I say this not because I am a "Zimmerman supporter." I am not a Zimmerman supporter. Nor am I a Trayvon Martin supporter, though I am sorrowful that his young life was cut short. This isn't a team sport, and it certainly isn't a game. Those who have used this sad tragedy to divide, polarize and demonize belong on a splintered spit in Hell. I have pleaded for an honest, rational, fair justification, other than raw emotion, for the indignation over this case, requiring only that the facts cited actually apply to what happened in Sanford, and not a litany of racism through the centurues. I haven't received them, and that is because they don't exist.
So I ask the protesters, both on the streets and campuses and the pundits, activists, columnists and elected officials:
What is it that you want, and why do you think this episode is the fair and rational place to make your stand? Continue reading →
Comment of the Day: "Incomplete Ethics Observations On George Zimmerman's Acquittal"
July 14, 2013 July 14, 2013 / Jack Marshall / 140 Comments
The defendant found "not guilty" in "12 Angry Men" was also probably guilty…
Charles Green, a treasured commenter on this blog and wise man, manages to perfectly illustrate, in this comment on the post "Incomplete Ethics Observations On George Zimmerman's Acquittal," how completely confused and misguided the liberal establishment and the public generally has become regarding race and justice in this country, and how the Martin case has metastasized the problem. I'll let Charles have his say, and return at the end.
"This is the Red State revenge for the OJ verdict. Both were infuriatingly irksome to the opposing party; narrowly legal in the "letter not the spirit" sense of the law; and wildly at odds with decency.
"Jack, you really must stop this silly "if he was white" line of argument. There is no racial equivalency between minority and majority cultures, and in particular between black and white in this culture; you simply can't substitute one variable for the other and expect logical connections to obtain.

Incomplete Ethics Observations On George Zimmerman's Acquittal
Just et me finish all this, and then I might be able to wade more deeply into the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman mess….
When my stomach is feeling less queasy, I will hope to set out to undertake the Augean task of assigning the various honors and indictments arising from the apparently concluded Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman Ethics Trainwreck. For now, however, in the wake of the jury's most proper acquittal, here are some briefer observations:
There was no way that Zimmerman could have been fairly and properly found guilty based on the evidence presented, and the fact that 1) the case was brought to trial by prosecutors and 2) the judge allowed it to go to the jury after the prosecution had failed its burden of proof, showed unethical conduct by prosecutors and, quite possibly, bias by the judge.
The jury was heroic, unless they were truly ignorant of all the distracting and misleading efforts from the media to condemn Zimmerman based on a political agenda, rather than the facts of the actual case. They had reason to fear for their lives, and reason to believe that a not guilty verdict would spark violence. It would have been easy, if wrong, for them to manufacture reasonable doubt as a utilitarian compromise, to sacrifice Zimmerman's life and a just verdict to the safety of others and themselves. Of course, if they really were as ignorant of current events and the case as jurors in such high-profile trials usually have to be to get through voir dire, then perhaps the jury wasn't courageous. In that case, it was just a good jury that did its duty well, and that makes them heroes too. They honored the jury system and our democacy, despite all the efforts to pollute it, some from very high places indeed. Continue reading →

The Cultural Source of Chocolate, Mexican style
I grew up, like most people in this part of the world, eating European style chocolate. So having this Mexican traditional chocolate was revelatory.
Alex Whitmore, Co-founder of Taza Chocolate
If you attended last summer's Lowell Folk Festival and wandered into the foodways tent in Lucy Larcom Park, you would have seen (and tasted) that we were into beans. Cooks representing five different cultural cuisines shared their favorite bean dishes with the crowd (750 servings in all).
In an upcoming public program at Lowell National Historical Park, we will be exploring a different kind of bean. Just two days before Valentine's day, we will present a program on the Mexican tradition of manufacturing, baking, and cooking with chocolate made from stoneground cacao beans.
As the date approaches, more info will be posted, but in the meantime, I thought I'd share some details from my recent visit to Taza Chocolate, a Mexican-style chocolate factory in Somerville, Massachusetts.
My guide was Alex Whitmore, co-founder of Taza Chocolate. Taza is one of several businesses located in an industrial building near the Cambridge/Somerville border. Walking into the main entrance, I was immediately overwhelmed by the pleasant aroma of chocolate. If only one could record smells . . .
As companies go, Taza Chocolate is fairly new. Established in 2006, Taza is dedicated to manufacturing minimally processed chocolate made from fair trade organic cacao beans. Rotary stone mills from Oaxaca are used to grind the roasted beans.
Before touring through the factory, Alex and I sat down for an interview. Turns out, Taza is one of only 18 companies in the United States that are a "bean to bar" chocolate manufacturer, meaning rather than buying processed chocolate, they actually make chocolate from cacao beans bought directly from growers in Central America.
The majority of businesses making and selling chocolate are called "chocolatiers." They may make delicious chocolate candy but they buy they don't start by roasting and grinding their own cacao beans. The smooth, melt-in-your mouth chocolate we associate with Swiss, Belgium, and Italian confections is a relative newcomer on the scene. As Alex reminded me, the indigenous peoples of Central and South America consumed chocolate primarily as a drink for thousands of years before the delectable substance was introduced to Europeans. "The [cacao tree] is indigenous to Central and South America. And because of that, it became culturally important as a food stuff in the early civilizations of the Americas. The Europeans didn't actually get their hands on the cacao bean until after the Columbian exchange when the Spanish brought it back over to Europe. They didn't really start making chocolate as we know it today, in a solid form until the late 1700s, early 1800s. And It wasn't really developed until the mid to later 1800s as a fine candy."
The chocolate made at Taza differs significantly from chocolate manufactured around the United States. "We make chocolate in a very specific tradition . . . The entire process is very much inspired by Southern Mexican chocolate making."
Cacao beans come from the theobroma tree, which grows best in a hot and humid climate. The fruit of the theobroma tree is a cacoa pod, which contains seeds called beans. Alex points out that "Because Taza chocolate is made with such minimal processing, our product tastes like our ingredients." What this means is that it is really important for the company to personally source their beans, buying directly from farmers with which they have developed a personal relationship.
Once the beans are harvested, they are fermented and dried before being shipped to Taza. Fermentation creates more complex flavors. Alex made the comparison between the taste of flour and water, like matzoh (unleavened bread) to the more complex taste of bread made with yeast.
I asked Alex about his time in Oaxaca, Mexico, where he studied under several molineros (Spanish for stone ground millers.) In this part of Mexico, being a molinero is a family tradition which is passed down from father to son and kept rather secretive. Although Alex learned a good bit about dressing the grinding stones, he was never allowed to see stones with freshly cut patterns.
As is done in Mexico, Taza uses granite milling stones to grind their cacao beans. They hand chisel each millstone with a pattern specifically designed for grinding chocolate.
Stone ground chocolate, like stone ground grain, leaves granular bits behind, which gives Taza chocolate its rustic texture. After our interview, Alex led me through the factory to see various stages of production – winnowing, grinding, roasting, tempering, molding, and packaging. Taza also runs a retail store, and offers factory tours to the public three times a week.
If you'd like to meet Alex and learn more about their unique products and philosophy, plan on attending our program on February 12, 2011 at Lowell National Historical Park — Visitor Center. Details to follow.

Barbara French, a savvy follower of the analyst industry, notes that the expansion of US analyst firms into China is unlikely to produce meaningful influence on technology purchasing there – but does boost the analysts' credibility with US vendor clients.
Lighthouse feels that analyst influence is limited in China, especially the influence of US analysts. As a result, it may not be crucial to build them into AR programs. Indeed, because US analysts are primarily there to better advise your competitors, it's a better rule of thumb to exclude, rather than include, some of the international analyst firms in China.
In China, SMEs are very skeptical on hiring consultants (whether domestic or overseas). The key areas where consultants can flourish are money laundry and bribing.
Leaders in Chinese organisations love "brands" so they tend to engage business advisory firms (McKinsey, PwC etc) rather than specialized consulting firms and analyst companies – even if they could offer better advice.
On technology side, it's important for Western professionals to appreciate that large firms in China are not very ignorant. Often their CIO etc could be overseas Chinese or or from Hong Kong. Usually the problem is not CIOs in China don't know what the best solutions out there are, but they don't have the budget. Of course, if they can't afford the technology they probably won't spend money on advisory services on technology. For those who have money, they normally don't need any cutting edge technologies.
There are big opportunities for analysts in China: the opportunities are mainly with exporters; other opportunities are for small local firms. Despite the US recession, the Chinese (and world) markets will continue to grow. Chinese brands will overtake western competitors.


When it comes to website speed and performance, loading images can be one of the hardest activities. This can be because of factors such as resolution and the level of image compression. Focus on uploading and displaying big-sized images. Depending on the situation, you may be able to get away with 200 KB or less without losing the image quality.
A lot of website owners use shared hosting since it is cost-effective. But, this means sharing server and bandwidth with other customers. Thus, you don't have control over how they are using these resources. In case a website you share these resources with experience an influx of traffic, you can expect the performance and speed of your site to suffer. But, you can overcome this by getting an advanced dedicated hosting. This means getting a server dedicated to your website only. As a result, you can enjoy greater customization. Also, you get dedicated hardware and more consistency in website performance. This means faster speeds, particularly when you choose dedicated servers that have better hardware.
Sure, you can benefit from external scripts such as widgets especially when updating your site with dynamic content. However, when you depend on these external scripts, at will be at the mercy of them for page load times. Thus, if you have a Twitter widget and the platforms hang for a reason your website speed will suffer while it waits for this widget to load correctly. This is also true for any hidden page elements that depend on external services.

Whilst the world mightn't have changed too much, the way that we understand it has. News reports are now less about objectivity, as they are about agenda and subjectivity - interpretation and opinion are now as valued as 'truth'. We can see a reflection of this in cartoons. They once held a simplistic dualistic nature, good versus evil, but that's no longer the case, subtle subtexts and politicised messages run throughout. What brought about this change? Is it good?
Although this largely comes down to opinion, there are some facts invovled. Not to deny the existence of any nuance in the cartoons of the 90s, but there was significantly less than now. The 90s were kind of a pioneering time for cartoons, marketing and branding. New technology on all fronts created a fertile ground upon which to create. These cartoons, all with incredibly rich visual languages, didn't really rely on the depth of their stories as much as how they looked and how they could be packaged.
This isn't a bad tactic either. Kids in the 90s bought a lot of toys, there wasn't really the internet or variety of games consoles that there are now. So, considering most cartoons were on free television channels, the money came from making kids want to buy them. This isn't hard - you've just got to make them 'cool'. Make them so cool, in fact, that kids play out their favourite cartoons in drawing books, in their heads, with their friends and with toys.
Nowhere is this clearer than with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle franchise. The stories were all fairly formulaic, but the characterisation is what drew people in. Everyone had a favourite, everyone had one that they'd choose to be when they were with their mates. Sure, the way they behaved throughout the episodes was also fairly repetitive, but this was the point. They had a personality and their same-ness provided comfort. Cartoons were an immersive, space whose characters became companions.
Popular cartoons now have a different market. Adventure Time, for one, is highly popular - not just with kids, but across all age groups. The humour is deep. There are many layers to interpretation and, in general, the level of writing is incredibly high. People watching it are less inclined to buy toys - that's just not the done thing anymore, or at least not like it used to be. The audience now is online, resultantly more nuanced, exposed as younger people are to a much wider breadth of both knowledge, but also culture and experience.
In the 90s, you watched what was on TV. Now shows must compete with video games, streaming and on-demand. Cartoons need to have more than 'cool' characters to hook people in. The stories, told in an age of far more limited attention spans (both from social media saturation and the freedom of choice granted by the internet), must be far richer and multifaceted. A simple 'good guy' versus 'bad guy' arc won't cut it. You'll rarely, if ever, find a popular cartoon now with those dynamics.
What you will find though, are cartoons that are lighter on the surface, like Adventure Time, that contain complex themes. This artistic direction very rarely existed in 90s cartoons. It was as simple as the palette and tone reflecting the mood. Dark colouring and foreboding music meant that something more sinister was at play. Light visuals and soft music were always easy going moments. You didn't have to think too hard. Complexity in contemporary cartoons comes from the literacy that younger people now have - their abilities to 'read between the lines'.
This is a clear positive, that younger people are being treated as more capable. Yet, it's no coincidence that shows like Adventure Time have found a more mature audience, something that 90s cartoons wouldn't really have ever had. That being said, people often long for simpler times and the cartoons of their youth will always provide that comfort. It's not about age, but era. The highly individual character personalities of 90s cartoons definitely stood out.
They were unique, focussing on characters and providing an important building block for their young audience. Life wasn't about complicated and multi-tiered scenarios - that stuff was for adults. It was about having fun and most importantly, seeing the best parts of different characters and incorporating them into yourself in a formative composite of the unconscious.


You must find a means to make certain what you're promoting is getting in the front of the correct individuals. Go with buck naked if you will need to have a great grade on something that will to be read by some spectacles-wearing old professor somewhere, or in the event you'd like the lengthier tradition on your side.
To begin with, you are going to need to understand how to create random numbers. Be aware that the title of this webpage or the document has to be italicized in your citation. The end notes are like the footnotes.

So as texting becoming more and more popular, a rising number of text language is going to be born.
Some become so anxious due to their incessant noise they become suicidal. apa format for online dictionary So unless you would like to appear to be a complete beginner, stop saying you wish to have on some sort of circuit. From this standpoint, everything is determined by the text that's in front of you.
Use these format in the event the book you're using is only supplied in a digital format or is tough to find in print. When you have to cite six authors, start by writing the former name of the very first author. Then supply the last writer name.

The formatted word docs are less difficult to use. The second significance of the term babushka that's registered in English is granny, grandmother. Words permit us to confirm our understanding.
Thorough research, documentation, and planning are necessary to the writing procedure, and should not be carried out halfway. An internet dictionary is a significant tool of information, especially if we understand how to distinguish a great on-line dictionary from a poor one. Inside my opinion, it's a bright remedy to ensuring the public receives the pure, unadulterated truth right from the origin.
At the rear of the book, writers find all the section menus together in a single detailed menu in the rear cover along with an indicator.

These ideas are not for those whose ambition in life is to get by or merely to survive.
To win in the future, companies must stop competing with each other. The only way to beat the competition is to stop trying to beat the competition.
Consider 2 sorts of oceans: red oceans and blue oceans. Red oceans represent all industries in existence today. This is the know market space. Blue oceans demote all inductees not in existence today. This is the unknown market space.
In the red oceans, industry boundaries are defined and accepted, and the competitive rules of the game are known. Here, companies try to outperform their rivals to grab a greater share of existing demand. As the market space gets crowded, prospects for profits and growth are reduced. Products become commodities, and cutthroat competition turns the red ocean bloody.
Blue oceans are defined by untapped market space, demand creation, and the opportunity for highly profitable growth.
Although some blue oceans are created well beyond existing industry boundaries, most are created from within red oceans by expanding existing industry boundaries. In blue oceans, competition is irrelevant because the rules of the game are waiting to be set.
It will always be important to swim successfully in the red ocean by out competing rivals. Red oceans will always matter and will always be a fact of business life. This will not be sufficient to sustain high performance; companies need to go beyond competing. To seize new profit and growth opportunities, they also need to create blue oceans.
The overriding focus of strategic thinking has been on competition based red ocean strategies. Part of the explanation for this is that corporate strategy is heavily influenced by its roots in military strategy (officers, headquarters, troops, front lines). In this way, strategy is about confronting an opponent and fighting over a given ____ that is both limited and constant. To focus on the red ocean is therefore to accept the key constraining factors of war – limited terrain and the need to beat an enemy to succeed – and to deny the distinctive strength of the business world; the capacity to create new market space that is uncontested.
While supply is on the rise as global competition intensifies, there is no clear evidence of an increase in demand worldwide, and statistics even point to declining populations in many developed markets.
The business environment in which most strategy and management approaches of the 20th century evolved is increasingly disappearing.
Business literature typically uses the company as the basic unit of analysis. Book Creative Destruction- success attributed to some of the model companies is the result of industry sector performance.
Neither company nor the industry is the best unit of analysis in studying the roots of profitable growth.
The strategic move is the unit of analysis for explaining the creation of blue oceans and sustained high performance.
Value Innovation focuses on making the competition irrelevant by creating a leap in value for buyers and your company, opening up new and uncontested market space.
- It places equal emphasis on value and innovation. Value without innovation tends to focus on value creation on an incremental scale, something that improves value but is not sufficient to make you stand out.
- Innovation without value tends to be technology driven, market pioneering, or futuristic, often shooting beyond what buyers are ready to accept and pay for.
- Distinguish between value innovation as opposed to tech innovation and market pioneering.
- Value innovation occurs only when companies align innovation with utility, price and cost positions.
- Value innovation defies one of the most commonly accepted dogmas of competition based strategy: the value-cost trade off.
o It is conventionally believed that companies can either create greater value to customers at a higher cost or create reasonable value at a lower cost.
o Here strategy is seen as making a choice between differentiation and low cost.
- research found that customers can scarcely imagine how to create uncontested marketing space. Their insight also tends toward the familiar "offer me more for less." And what customers typically want 'more' of are those products and service features that the industry currently offers.
- Which of the factors that the industry takes for granted should be eliminated?
- Which factors should be reduced well below the industry's standard?
- Which factors should be raised well above the industry's standard?
- Which factors should be created that the industry has never offered?
A company's explicit or implicit strategy tends to be trying to outdo its competition on the basis of cost or quality, signalling slow growth unless the firm benefits from being in an industry that's growing.
It a firm's market share doesn't reflect investments in delivering high levels across all factors, if may be oversupplying customers. Offering too much of those elements that add incremental value to buyers.
Are there areas where a company is offering a high level on one competing factor while ignoring others that support that factor?
Are competing factors stated in terms buyers can understand and value, or are they operational jargon?

man...a whole week gone by and no bloggin...and last week was suppose to be fairly quiet. how is it those quiet weeks get filled up. it's like a vacuum.
this week we are on break from school. unfortunately the weather does not look very spring like as we woke to more snow on the ground this morning. but everyone is ready for a break and so this will be the week. after we get back to our studies we should have about 6 weeks left of formal studies, and i need to work on a plan for summer.
working on photo albums (using the photo freedom system as a guide...i am loving this).
will post more projects later and hopefully get some april inspiration up soon as well.


Hello everyone, welcome to Workman Scraps.
Today's post will be short, on Monday I had surgery on my hand (luckily not my dominant hand).
But I wanted to share this with you. Using the new Cricut Cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More 2, cut two boxes at 9" from page 40. Little Easter treat boxes, yellow for my daughter and the green for my son.
The stamp images are from My Creative Time Hello Spring and Happy Haunting. other supplies I used: memento tuxedo black, memento bamboo leaves, copics to color the little bunnies and American Crafts ZING! embossing powder frost and lavender, twine from Pink By Design and ribbon from stash. The paper used for the boxes is DCWV Luxury stack.
Hi Everyone! Welcome to Workman Scraps.
1. I have no clue how to work or tweak an uploaded video.
2. I hope I learn my way around YouTube quickly.
All the paper, stamped image (colored with copics) and sentiment is from Peachy Keen Stamps pick kit and PKSC-02 February kit. I also used buttons from own stash, Martha Stewart flocking powder and My Creative Time - stitched oval die.
I forgot to take a picture of the inside, it says...On St. Patty's Day.
Hope you enjoy today's post. If you have any tips and/or tricks for videos and YouTube please feel free to email me.
With this card sketch from Twisted Sketches, i made this card for all the Leap Year baby's: from me to who ever is celebrating their birthday on Leap Year...Happy Birthday!
This week's twist is 'LEAP'.
For this birthday card, the paper used is from Pink Paislee Daily Junque, stamp sentiment is My Creative Time - WOW! So Many Candles, buttons from my own stash and a cute poem I found online.
I'm a little Leapling, smart and fun.
When I turn four, I'll really be one.
I'm a little Leapy, with lots to do.
When I turn eight, I'll really be two.
I'm a little Leaper, with lots to see.
When I turn twelve, I'll really be three.
I'm a Leap Day Baby, and so much more.
Wen I turn sixteen, I'll really be four.
I hope you are able to join us at Twisted Sketches - Cards.
My daughter loves keeping treasures. Just little things that mean a lot to her from various occasions or places we have seen.
The box she did have was an old shoe box she had from several years ago. I tried to repair that one but it was a hopeless case.
My Dad was going through his things and found a few old cigar boxes that he obtained several years ago, he had planned to use as storage. Lucky ME!
Most all the products used for this altered project came from the Scraps of Darkness Envy kit.
It took me longer than expected to complete this box but the look on her face when she received it has worth it all.
So know she has a 'real' treasure box for her treasures.
Happy Ash Wednesday my friends and family who celebrate!
I have been busy working on a few projects for design teams, for fun and also, I am taking a short online class with Melody Ross (I hope to have it complete this weekend).
First, congratulations to the first challenge winner...Julie T.
Second, Welcome to another sketch challenge at Graphicat Sketches.
Now on to the sketch and challenge. Starting today until March 4, submit your take on the sketch below at Graphicat Sketches for a chance to win the Margarita Stamp set from Graphicat Designs.
Supplies used for my take on the above sketch: Authentique 6x6 Blissful pattern paper, cardstock Summer Sunrise from Papertrey Ink, Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy; Bo Bunny Et Cetera Chipboard, image and embossed stamp from My Creative Time, and sentiment from Graphicat Designs.

Until next time - happy scrappin'! ~ Carol.
Well read on my friends, your questions will be answered.
All last year I heard, read and saw about 12 Tags of Christmas, and because of my course schedule, I did not have the time to create any. So I resolved to do them all in 2012.
"so i've decided to officially retire the "12 tags of christmas" as we know it, and begin the 12 tags of the year. of course with this year being 2012, what better time to kick off this new concept with the "12 tags of 2012". so at the beginning of each month i will post a tag tutorial (with step by step photos, video, etc). this tag will be themed to that month's holiday season if applicable, or just a new idea to share. i will have the inlinkz live to allow you the entire month to upload your creation inspired by that month's tag. at the end of that month, we will select winners at random from those who have uploaded a project, and post them on the blog with some great prizes. of course there is also a blinkie on the side of the blog you can download and post on your own blog sharing your participation in the new "12 tags of 2012". i'm so excited for this new concept since it will inspire me with new ways to create each month, give you time to create as well, and share a wider variety of ideas. just think... the new 12 tags will be like christmas every month!!!
(okay so i already know i'm behind this new brainstorm, butlet's just focus on this month's tag and i'll catch up with january's tag nextmonth - fair enough?)"
What an awesome new adventure! I am really excited because I will final have the time to 'tag' along.
I cut a heart (1") and a cherub (2 1/2") on Tim Holtz grunge paper from Cricut Cartridge Victorian Roman. The cherub is inked with Barn Door distress ink and dabbed with ruby slippers glitter stickles. The heart punch is EK Success and Martha Stewart. The tag was stamped with snow cap paint and Stampers Anonymous - Purely Random and embossed using sizzix floral flourishs.Ribbon is from personal stash embellished with Tim Holtz ideology. Last but not least the sentiment and tag set is My Creative Time - Teeny Tag Greetings.
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - "Tag It"
Until next time - happy scrappin'!
Today is reveal day over at Scraps Of Darkness.
I love this kit club and recommend it for everyone. Also if you don't have a dark side or are just not into that kind of scrap booking...check out Scraps Of Elegance for the softer side. Not only can you get pattern paper, embellishments, flowers, handmade pin and a sketch but the kit add-ons of cardstock, flora & fauna, color, and romance are perfectly coordinated for each kit.
I loved Suepup's sketch this month for the Victorian Kit for February so much so that I didn't change much.
For more inspiration, click HERE to see what the design team has created.
I made this card with several challenges in mind and also a great excuse to use some recently purchased copic sketch markers from iCopic. I have been wanting to learn how to use them, I figured just do it and see what happens.
At iCopic Weekly Challenge #69, use blue green on something. So these are the copics I used to help create this card.
I made this 6x6 card with prima reflections collection, epiphany tool round 14, Sentiment - Jaded Blossom Sweet Celebration, My Creative Time stitched oval die.
Jaded Blossoms Monthly Challenge - valentine theme using at least one Jaded Blossom stamp.
Hope you enjoyed the card. I will leave you with a few photos of the kids school valentine's.
Paper is the Paper Studio; face on 3 & 4 photo is Peachy Keen Stamp PKSC-01; ribbon from Hobby Lobby; the treat box, lollipop die, scalloped & stitched circle are all My Creative Time.
Thank you for stopping by, again Happy Valentine's Day.
Happy Monday all my blogger friends!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and were able to get a little crafting in.
Today I am sharing a card I made for My Creative Time's Throwback Thursday Challenge.
Supplies are: sentiment - My Creative Time This & That and Fancy Frame stamp & die; pattern paper - Echo Park Victorian Garden collection; cardstock from Papertrey Ink; Tim Holtz distress ink Antique Linen; Ranger Ink Coffee; Peachy Keen Stamps PK-490; Snail - Cricut Cartridge Paisley page 24; Hills - Cricut Cartridge Country Life page 72 and ribbon is from stash.
I had fun making this one, I hope you like it.
It's another inspirational card sketch from Twisted Sketches.
For today's sketch the twist is "Heart" any how, any way.
I used Cricut Cartridge Victorian Romance for the heart and Cricut Cartridge from Creative Memories 'Tis the Season. All paper is from AC Cardstock-Valentine. The bling is Websters Pages - Winter Fairy Tale Gems. The sentiment is My Creative Time '100% Sweetness' stamp set.
Hope you are inspired to play a long with us this week!
So sorry I am just now getting the winner announcement posted!
I have been busy crafting and neglecting my blog but come back tomorrow and all next week to see what I've been working on.

I am one very proud Aunt!
My niece played Wendy Jo in her high school musical play Footloose, last night was opening night and I have to say I was not expecting to love it like I did. I know my niece can sing but she always amazes me with hidden talent. Who new she could sing, dance and act all at the same time! WAY TO GO!
The students, staff and crew spent hours, days and months preparing for the three days that they will perform for their high school play. And last night all their hard work, sweat and even tears paid off when they hit the stage for opening night of Footloose!
Everyone did an amazing job and I was/am very impressed with the entire production. At end they closed with a sing-a-long to I Need A Hero dedicating and saluting our military and public servants. Below is the closing picture (we weren't "allowed" to take pictures-but what kind of scrapper am I if I don't sneak one-haha) of the sing-a-long. The two arrows are my niece (right-center stage) and my Daddy (police officer, top right).
Footloose was just amazing! Fabulous job Terrah - you make us proud everyday because you are YOU!
Next I have a card to share. I used Cricut Cartridge Hello Kitty, Pink By Designs - A Haunting We Will Go & zebra background stamp with Shimmer Enamelz - Sparkliscious for the background.
Perfect card for Valentine's Day or even just to give.


After about a year-and-a-half of wearing my old carbon fiber AFO braces (Ankle and Foot Orthoses), I recently got a new pair of Phat Braces which are also made of carbon fiber, but have a much better warranty and are widely used by people everywhere. The big difference between my old braces and the new Phat Braces is that the Phat Braces are taller and stiffer (but they are beginning to soften a bit). They come up my leg to right below my knee which is further than my old braces . This makes them much more stable and it which allows me to balance and walk much easier. They also have some flexible plastic that wraps around the foot (as you can see in the image to the right) which also helps to provide more stability. The biggest benefit about them so far, however, is that it did not take my body six weeks to adjust to them. The previous braces actually took six weeks for my body to adjust and I was in pain the entire time. The company that provided them told me that's just how it goes. Through that adjustment period, I had to have at least a dozen manual adjustments to the carbon fiber (e.g., heat them up, bend out here and there, etc.), probably closer to 18 or so. With the new Phat Braces, I've only had two adjustments and my body has already adjusted to them -- literally less than a week. In fact, I have had the Phat Braces two weeks now and yesterday I did my first true Colorado hike since my injury in April 2014!
Yesterday we decided to go hiking in Evergreen, CO because we were trying to get back to the spot where I proposed to Janene 20 years ago. We thought it would be cool to go back there because later this month Janene and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. I was a bit intimidated when we started the hike because of the elevation gain on the trail and the number of large rocks that you hike over on the trail. I did take a single arm crutch with me but it almost made things more difficult because of the angle at which you hold the arm crutch vs. the angle of the rocks on such an uphill elevation. Also, my new braces make going uphill difficult because they are still stiff, but they will soften a bit more in time. But with Janene's help, I completed the hike. Janene did make a good suggestion that instead of using an arm crutch I should consider getting some hiking poles. Because you hold them at a different angle, it could make going uphill and downhill over rocks easier for me. So, I'm going to try some out soon at REI.
Although the distance was not that great (1.7 miles), this was the most uphill/downhill I have done since my spinal cord injury 3.5 years ago -- I actually impressed myself. As proof of the level of workout for my body, my lower back and my hips were really tired after the hike and sore this morning. But I really enjoyed getting out for a hike with Janene and Bailey. So, I'm really looking forward to doing more hiking. I guess I can really start enjoying the fact that we live in Colorado again!

Video: Bernie Sanders Praised Bread Lines In Socialist Countries
by Jeff Dunetz | Apr 3, 2016 | Politics
It's astounding when you realize that as bad as the Republican race seems to be, on the other side a woman who is under investigation by the FBI is running against an admitted socialist. Think about that for a moment, it was only twenty-five years ago that we finally won the cold war against marxist nations. And now despite the fact the everything the Democratic Party leadership does attempts to skew the results toward Hillary Clinton, Senator[score] Bernard Sanders[/score] a guy who calls himself a socialist, a man who spent his honeymoon in the USSR, is getting a sizable amount of the Democratic Party vote.
Sadly, Bernie Sanders' positions are not that different than those of the Democratic Party president Barack Obama, nor are they that different from Hillary Clinton's if she bothered to be honest and didn't have to pivot to the center for the general election.
Socialism used to be taboo, but now its the standard policy for the Democratic Party. My colleague Joe Newby has found a great example of why no matter who the candidate is we shouldn't be voting Democrat.
When you see the video below, remember this guy is doing well in the Democratic race despite the fact that the DNC is working hard to make Hillary Clinton their nominee. And incredibly he still has the chance of being their nominee:
Guest Post by Joe Newby
Bernie Sanders, the Vermont socialist running for the Democratic Party nomination, seems to love the result of Communist rule, and in a video posted to YouTube on March 27, is seen praising bread lines in socialist countries during a 1985 interview.
Without further ado, here is the video. In it, Sanders has lots of good things to say about Communist countries, but you can hear him praise bread lines at about the 3:20 mark:
"That's a good thing," he is heard saying about news that people are lining up for food. Normally, bread lines are a sign of poverty, but these aren't normal times.
According to Sanders, in other countries, the rich take the food and poor people starve to death.
Daily Beast columnist Michael Moynihan called his statement the "height of absurdity."
And now, Sanders is running against Hillary Clinton and doing quite well. Sadder still, a number of Democrats actually love socialism. This is why the Democratic Party must be defeated at every level.
