The first of four small panel studies that I did yesterday. Once I got rolling, I had to keep going. I'm going to continue pursuing this path, I believe there's still a lot to uncover.
Assefaw Bariagaber, Ph.D., director of the Post-Conflict State Reconstruction and Sustainability certificate program and professor at Seton Hall's School of Diplomacy and International Relations, led a group of 15 students on an African Union study tour in Ethiopia from March 5 to March 15, during the University's spring break. The tour included both cultural highlights of Ethiopia's rich history and academic seminars on the African Union, which is headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital.
"The opportunity to participate in this sort of study abroad program was one of the things that drew me to Seton Hall,"says diplomacy master's student John Pollock. "As someone who studied archeology and paleoanthropology as an undergraduate, I'm particularly thrilled to visit the National Archeological Museum to see Lucy [one of the earliest human ancestors ever discovered]."

The University of Utah hired a sonic drill to obtain salt cores for their salt thickness study in partnership with the BLM and the Intrepid Potash Mining Company. In addition to testing the salt thickness, the University of Utah and a professor from Westminster College are also studying stratigraphy, salt flat footprint, salinity, water chemistry, weather dynamics, microbial environment, and human interactions with the salt flats.
For the nine students who made the 21-day trip in January 2017, the scarcity and simplicity of life in Cuba – from the 1950s cars to the empty supermarket shelves to the limited Internet service - challenged every convention of their lives back home.
The study abroad trip combined two classes: Journeys through Latin America: Contemporary Cuba, taught by Murillo, and Health, Culture and Elder Care in Cuba, taught by Kirby Veevers, an adjunct professor of Health Professions who specializes in palliative care, aging and long-term care.
More studies for my comic book. Various magazine and comics were the source of some. The drawings on the right of some model soldiers. The men were about 27mm tall. The tents were based on a 17th century engraving of the Battle of Dunbar.

These are just color studies- I drew the circles, scanned them, and then printed blocks of them so I could test colors on them before I committed to an entire watercolor painting.

IKEA Case Study – Born in the Shadow of Conflict
IKEA Case Study
IKEA sees its origins in the town of Smaland, located south of Sweden. It was started in 1943 by a local lad, Ingvar Kamprad, who was a carpenter by profession.
As with most entrepreneurs, Ingvar Kamprad’s vision began with a spark. The five-year-old’s entrepreneurial journey began by selling matches.
At 14, Ingvar enrolled in a boarding school nearby. He kept a stock of pens, watches, wallets, and belts as they were in demand among his classmates. As he was too young to set up a business, his father gave consent and paid the registration fee as a graduation present.
IKEA is a combination of Ingvar Kamprad’s initials along with the family farm of Elmtaryd, and Agunnaryd, the farm’s parish in Smaland. But the 17-year-old IKEA founder wasn’t selling furniture yet. IKEA began to sell furniture five years later.
IKEA’s Business Model:
In 1956 IKEA’s inventory included flat-boxed furniture that allowed for assembly at home. The new range helped reduce shipping and labor costs and allowed easy transport to the customer’s home.
The compact packaging meant that displaying them at retail outlets was an option. Thus advantage led to the opening of the first IKEA store in Smaland in 1958.
More IKEA stores followed, first in Europe and later in other regions. Currently, IKEA operates 300 stores around the world. IKEA stores are distinctive with their vibrant blue and yellow roofs in the colors of the Swedish flag. They stock more than 80,000 items and even have in-house Swedish restaurants.
Store Design:
IKEA stores are like large warehouses and are found outside cities. Increased urbanization and the popularity of e-commerce spurred IKEA to experiment with new formats. The introduction of pick-up points for online shoppers and small-format stores within city limits are examples.
Target Market:
IKEA targets the middle class with its products. By ensuring its products are affordable and durable, it appeals to its customers. This facet of IKEA’s products is a driving reason behind its popularity.
IKEA has adapted to the times and stocks contemporary designs that are a favorite with their customers. IKEA’s range of pocket-friendly products compliments its customer-friendly shopping experience.

Brand Localization:
Wherever IKEA went, it researched the taste and preferences in the local market. IKEA adapted its products and marketing strategies to local sensibilities, thus ensuring their popularity.
Local culture influences everything from product design to catalogs when IKEA forays into a new market. The gambit of localizing their operations paid off and gained them a solid foothold in overseas markets.
IKEA Revenue:
For two decades, IKEA’s revenue has been growing exponentially. From 10.5 billion euros in 2001 to 42 billion euros in 2021, IKEA has been a veritable success story. The only dip in revenue was in 2020, when like every other business IKEA too, was affected by the unforeseen events of the year.
Conclusion:
That is the story of how Ingvar Kamprad, the boy who grew up in the shadow of the great depression and WW2, began his journey by selling matches and grew to set up and oversee the rise of one of the most valuable firms today.
IKEA is a successful brand in no small part due to its focus on quality and pricing. IKEA has paired these principles with exceptional customer service and engagement

The sun shone so beautifully so I decided to study in the backyard. I truly read a lot because of how calming and relaxing it was to sit outside :)
