This is my favorite recommendation written by colleague Dr. Paul Gothard III, Professor of Music, Lake Erie College. Paul and I worked together over many years to build a well loved monthly concert program in combination with regional and international performing artists on the campus of Lake Erie College. Together, the Coryton Ensemble and the LEC Department of Music commissioned and premiered the new works of global and local composers. To the delight of local audiences, the historic and acoustically renowned Morley Music Hall on campus became a welcome performance home for an ensemble of musicians from across Northeast Ohio.

COINS: An Economic Development Tool for Education, Economic, and Workforce Development in Open Source Economic Development
Betsey Merkel, Co-Founder, Director, The Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open) contributed this paper to the COINS 2009 conference at the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD) October 8- 11, 2009.
More http://www.coins2009.com/
This paper describes I-Open's approach to a higher level of organization, process, and tools needed to build networked collaborative communities from our experience working in the "Civic Space" (everywhere outside the four walls of any organization) over a six year period from 2003 to 2009. It offers a starting point for us to take a closer look at how to integrate COINS and apply CONDOR, an analytic and mapping software tool, to improve creativity, collaboration, and communications to accelerate Open Source Economic Development.
We're suggesting an accelerated networked model of Civic Forums hosted in collaboration with colleges, universities, and libraries. Let us know if you or your organization is interested in collaborating to build a three to five site Civic Forum model to advance creativity, collaboration, and communication.

From the Abstract and a Presentation Overview: The human race is faced with engaging in exponential levels of complexity resulting from expanding populations, limited natural resources, and maturating cycles of the World Wide Web. Habits of capacity building - that of inventory, meaning, and experimentation -- remain at levels suited to an industrial age of linear scarcity. The results of this mismatch can be seen in widespread U.S. unemployment, poverty, and exponential natural systems failure. Disruptions such as these will continue to diminish our collective creative abilities to advance innovative enterprise unless we think and act differently. How and what we communicate affects the economic impact of creativity.

Abstract
Open Source Software (OSS) is in regular widespread use supporting critical
applications and infrastructure, including the Internet and World Wide Web themselves. The communities of OSS users and developers are often interwoven. The deep engagement of users and developers, coupled with the openness of systems lead to community-based system design and re-design activities that are continuous. Continuous redesign is facilitated by communication and knowledge-
sharing infrastructures such as persistent chat rooms, newsgroups, issue-
reporting/tracking repositories, sharable design representations and many kinds of
"software informalisms." These tools are arenas for managing the extensive, varied,
multimedia community knowledge that forms the foundation and the substance of
system requirements. Active community-based design processes and knowledge repositories create new ways of learning about, representing, and defining systems that challenge current models of representation and design. This paper presents several aspects of our research into continuous, open, community-based design
practices. We discuss several new insights into how communities represent
knowledge and capture requirements that derive from our qualitative empirical
studies of large (ca. 2GB+) repositories of problem-report data, primarily from the
Mozilla project.
What is the power of prayer and meditation to help each of us navigate our deficiencies and strengthen connectivity between mind and self? This paper begins to explore these intersections in parallel with scientific imaging of the functional brain.

Specialty retailers who are not participating in social media miss opportunities every day to serve and build stronger bonds with their customers. From customer service, to customer acquisition, to community building and influencer outreach, specialty retailers have an opportunity to leverage their competitive advantage as place-based entities to build community and drive sales. In this presentation, originally delivered at Outdoor Retailer Summer Market in July of 2011, Sara Lingafelter, Social Media Specialist at REI, will present a case study on REI’s local social media program, and host a Q&A session, from which multi- and single door retailers will be able to take away best practices, tips and tricks, and other practical advice for developing a local retail social strategy.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
