 * >what attributes do effective leaders have: I always joked around when talking about this: they probably could sell an Eskimo a fridge :-) (Leaders)
 * >universal ideal of beauty: When reading this I had to think of also questions like: why are all people attracted to babies. Could it be because they assume babies still have what they don't have anymore ? Their pureness, innocence, showing feelings openly ? About beauty: perhaps being attracted because of what they not possess or a recognition of oneself by "them" (like: when a beautiful person likes you too, you must also be beautiful?). But thank God taste is different and will change over time (since also society manipulates one a lot and inner values are not seen fast enough). Perhaps you are also interested besides Physical attractiveness in this in the future ?
 * There was recently started a learning resource about Aesthetics
 * Category:Design
 * Standards of beauty within certain cultures and time periods (perhaps you create this one in the future :-)) Erkan Yilmaz uses the Chat (try) 11:28, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Some feedback + links
Hi CVaughan, your e-portfolio is looking excellent in terms of regularity and depth of thinking/consideration around the various components of the unit. You're also making effective but judicious use of images, plus providing links to further information. If you check the history of your page, you should be able to see that I've made some edits to include use of "thumb" images (which allow inclusion of image captions), plus I've changed the wikipedia links to "internal style" and for external links changed some to hyperlink the text (as opposed to adding a footnote style number). But these are really very minor improvements (which you might nevertheless consider applying elsewhere) on your rich content. Later on I'll respond to some of your material more "substantively" (i.e., to the actual content). Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

A bit more feedback
Hi CVaughan. Wow, you've been busy and this e-portfolio continues to develop and enrichen, demonstrating ongoing depth of reading and thinking. My sense is that the exercise is "working for you", in that what you're presenting seems to be a natural flow from your engagement with various ideas, etc. So, this is really just give you a bit of assurance that you're very much (from my point of view) fulfilling the expectations I had envisaged for the e-portfolio experiment. Please let me know if I can do anything - e.g., if you would specific responses to anything in particular. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Image formatting - gallery
FYI, one other option for presenting images is "gallery" e.g., it can do this:

Thanks James, I was wondering if there was a way to put borders around multiple pictures.
