![]() Tortoiseshell and calico coats result from an interaction between genetic and developmental factors. In the course of his studies he discovered that the rare tortoiseshell male is often sterile. Leonard Doncaster was the first to prove that tortoiseshell is the female heterozygote of orange and black, the corresponding male being orange. Tortoiseshell coloring can also be expressed in the point pattern, referred to as a tortie point. Not uncommonly there will be a "split face" pattern with black on one side of the face and orange on the other, with a dividing line running down the bridge of the nose. These patched tabbies are often called a tortie-tabby, a torbie or, with large white areas, a caliby. Occasionally tabby patterns of black and brown (eumelanistic) and red (phaeomelanistic) colors are also seen. Dilution genes may modify the coloring, lightening the fur to a mix of cream and blue, lilac or fawn the markings on tortoiseshell cats are usually asymmetrical. ![]() Typically, the more white a cat has, the more solid the patches of color. The size of the patches can vary from a fine speckled pattern to large areas of color. Tortoiseshell cats have particolored coats with patches of various shades of red, grey, and black, and sometimes white. Patterns Cat with a blue ("dilute") tortoiseshell coat A tortoiseshell with characteristic "split-face" pattern This pattern is especially preferred in the Japanese Bobtail breed, and exists in the Cornish Rex group. Tortoiseshell markings appear in many different breeds, as well as in non-purebred domestic cats. ![]() Those that are predominantly white with tortoiseshell patches are described as tricolor, tortoiseshell-and-white, or calico (in Canada and the United States). "Tortoiseshell" is typically reserved for multicolored cats with relatively small or no white markings. Tortoiseshell cats with the tabby pattern as one of their colors are sometimes referred to as torbies or torbie cats. The colors are often described as red and black, but the "red" patches can instead be orange, yellow, or cream, and the "black" can instead be chocolate, gray, tabby, or blue. Tortoiseshell cats, or torties, combine two colors other than white, either closely mixed or in larger patches. Male tortoiseshells are rare and are usually sterile. Like tortoiseshell-and-white or calico cats, tortoiseshell cats are almost exclusively female. Tortoiseshell is a cat coat coloring named for its similarity to tortoiseshell pattern.

Lastly, there is a strategic unbalance between the BMC boxes. ![]() Memorize it and compare it with how the causality should flow in such a model (see further on 'How should the canvas look like').ĭo you like it? Does it help you see clearly the flow of dependencies and correlations between Capabilities and between the Capabilities and the Strategic Choices they are supporting, helping achieve, in the end, your Business Goals? What you got is something that looks generically like the picture below. If you have used the BMC, you have drawn causality arrows from one box to the other. Let's get back to the BMC split and spread boxers and their wrong placement. Both types of choices, intrinsically-linked, are made at the business level, not one at business level and the other at corporate level! For instance, when we create a blue ocean, deciding to employ certain new competitive factors, along the Value Curve of our Value Proposition (how-to-win), we also target certain segments of marginal customers and/or non-consumers, deciding on our Market Boundaries (where-to-play). ![]() Many people are very confused about the scopes of Corporate Strategy and Business Strategy, thinking that the Market Boundaries choices (where-to-play) are decided at corporate level, not at business level. ![]() In the same way, our Market Boundaries choices (where-to-play) are determining how well do we target our desired customers (and not others!), how adapted is our Value Proposition to their specifics (and not to those of others!), how convenient is for these customers to purchase (sales channels) and use our products or services (customer services). If our competitors target the same customers (they play within the same Market Boundaries as us), it's the Value Proposition which determines if we win against our competitors (or make them irrelevant), or not. The combination of Value Proposition (how-to-win) and Market Boundaries (where-to-play) is what determines our customers to buy from us and to remain our customers. In which business representation would you put the 'top goals' at the bottom? Think again: Are they 'top goals' or 'bottom goals' for you?įurthermore, you can see that some Strategy components are split and spread throughout the model, rather than being consistently placed in the same position, as required by their role in Strategy's logical construct. For instance, the Revenue & Costs, which are part of any business' Strategy success quantification, should have been placed on top of the layout, not at the bottom, as if they would be some sort of enablers for the rest of the model. Are there any abnormal things that you can notice?įirst of all, you may notice that some BMC boxes are located in the wrong places. Take a look at the diagram below, which maps the Strategy components with the BMC template. It looks as this Business Model Canvas was created by a salesperson, not by a Strategy thinker. So, let's rephrase the question: What's wrong with the BMC, as a Strategy tool? My answer: Everything, because it ignores the fundamental components, causality and priorities that define the Strategy. That's also the desire of Alex Osterwalder, the 'co-creator' of the Business Model Canvas, to place it straight at the core of Strategy's tool-set, as proven by his 'strategyzer', a platform that promotes the BMC as a pivotal Strategy Management tool. But many people (including myself, sometime ago) intend to use the BMC as part of the Strategy Formulation process. What's wrong with the BMC?Īctually, nothing, as long as you want to use it as a customer-focused business assessment tool. This article is about how did this happen and about how should the Business Model be presented, for using such representation as a Strategy tool. So, I went from liking it to a complete dislike, once the veil of widespread marveled adulation for the nine boxes has raised from my eyes. But then I've tried to use it within the practice of Strategy Management and I've realized that, for this purpose, it's rather useless, or even toxic. Is it true that you like the 9-boxes Business Model Canvas (BMC)? So did I. ![]() American Made: Victory Motorcycles is an American motorcycle brand that prides itself on manufacturing motorcycles on American soil.Ermey’s love for Victory Motorcycles stemmed from several factors that resonated with his personal preferences and values. Lee Ermey, known for his role as Gunnery Sergeant Hartman in the film “Full Metal Jacket,” was an avid motorcycle enthusiast and a well-known supporter of Victory Motorcycles. Why R Lee Ermey Liked Victory Motorcycles ![]() Gunny Hartman’s prior role as the star of “ Siege of Firebase Gloria” (one of the best movies ever) is all I need to know why he was locked and loaded for this event. The ride attracts thousands of motorcyclists from across the country who gather to pay their respects and show support for those who have made sacrifices for their country. The Rolling Thunder Ride is an annual motorcycle rally held in Washington, DC, to honor and raise awareness for prisoners of war (POWs) and missing-in-action (MIA) service members. The Significance of the Rolling Thunder Ride And Hartman ![]() This article explores the inspiring partnership between the new Victory Motorcycles and the Rolling Thunder Ride in Washington, DC, and how, along with the Gunny, it inspired student riders who aspired to join the US Marines after they got out. No matter the branch you served in, Motorcycles symbolize freedom, adventure, and a sense of camaraderie, much like the values upheld by the United States Marine Corps. The connection between the US military and the world of motorcycles is powerful, especially for so many Harley riders who trace their roots through Sonny Barger. I had to go through a bit of boot camp to understand this custom motorcycle brand made more famous by the iconic Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. Let me give you some context so you can understand why so many veteran Victory motorcycle owners are so proud of their Full Metal Jacket Gunny bikes or Harley Davidson versions. But it was not just any motorcycle that Gunny loved. After playing the Gunny and making Private Pyle famous, he became a History Channel icon for even my kids on the hit show, “Lock N Load.”īut like Chesty loved horses as a horse Marine, Ermey was all about his motorcycles. ![]() ![]() ![]() Enjoy all your entertainment apps such as Apple CarPlay™ and Andriod Auto™ on your new standard 8’’ diagonal touchscreen.

![]() It is another ballad but it really shows the maturity of the band. First one up is “Life is Too Short” and this one brings some string orchestration. After this one we get the first of three new songs. Ballads usually work well in the acoustic setting and this one is no different. Then we get the ballad “Always Somewhere” and the crowd claps along and at times sings along, there are female backing vocals and Klaus sounds stellar. ![]() The set opens with “The Zoo” and it has this cool groove which is almost like ‘Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles. ![]() With all that, it made this a very worthwhile purchase to get all the songs we hadn’t heard before. And on top of that, we got a handful of great covers from The Cars, Kansas and Queen. We actually were treated to 3 brand new songs (four if you got the DVD). We got the biggest hits, no doubt, but that wasn’t all. The band also were great in giving us a few things extra on this release. They really went all out to bring a different experience and I would say it worked pretty well. They were Hille Bemelmanns, Liv Van Aelst and Kristel Van Craen. And to fill up the stage even more, there was a cellist, Ariana Acu and a group of female vocalists to help with backing vocals. James might have been on drums, but they also had a percussionist by the name of Mario Argandona. Christian was also the one who was the conductor and arranged the Scorpions songs for the Moment of Glory Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra album the prior year. On keyboards was Christian Kolonovitis who also helped the band arrange the songs for the acoustic set. The actually had three guitarists and the third was Johan Daansen which really fills the songs up with that acoustic guitar sound. Yes, Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, Mathias Jabs, Ralph Rieckermann and James Kottak performed, but they weren’t alone. The show was a little unusual for the band as it was just the normal guys. The album was released a few months later on May 14, 2001. From those 3 shows, the album called “Acoustica” was made.
