Date 2012-03-08 Availability unrestricted Abstract Diversification is an important strategic alternative commonly used by organisations in pursuit of different markets and greater returns. Within the resource based view, (Collins & Montgomery, 2005) suggest that an effective diversification strategy can only be conducted if there is a fit between resources and the business opportunity so that resources contribute to competitive advantage.A quantitative research methodology was followed whereby organisations listed within the Industrial sector of the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) were categorized as diversified from period 2000 to 2010. The study empirically examined the independent and joint relationship between physical and skill base of relatedness against three financial measures in the form of hypotheses, to determine which base of relatedness influenced better performance.
All three bases of relatedness had no significant effect on organizational financial performance. The findings refine our understanding of relatedness as a multidimensional concept and suggest that to have a more comprehensive evaluation of corporate diversification and its value in boosting company performance, a matrix of interrelationships across lines of business, activities, resources, industry effects and many more variables should be considered.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

U.S. envoys urge Abbas to reconsider Palestinian statehood bid
Published 00:53 09.09.11
Latest update 00:53 09.09.11
Abbas says Palestinian statehood recognition request reaches point of no
By Barak Ravid
White House Middle East emissaries Dennis Ross and David Hale met
Wednesday with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and made it
clear to him that a request to the United Nations for recognition in about
two weeks of an independent Palestinian state could have serious
implications. For his part, Abbas said the Palestinian request for
recognition of statehood within the 1967 borders had reached a point of no
return and he could not retract it.
Ross and Hale also met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense
Minister Ehud Barak in the course of their visit to the region, but the
trip was aimed at applying last-minute pressure on the Palestinian
president. An Israeli source with knowledge of the details of the meeting
between the visiting Americans and Abbas noted that this was the first
time the Americans had spelled out the full negative implications of the
Palestinian request to the UN.
It was a break with past procedure that saw Hale joined at the Ramallah
meeting with the Palestinian president by Ross, who is a senior adviser to
U.S. President Barack Obama, and by the deputy legal adviser at the State
Department, Jonathan Schwartz. "The Americans told Abu Mazen [Abbas] the
whole truth to his face in a rather harsh way," an Israeli source said.
Another Israeli official noted that the American emissaries spelled out
the damage, item by item, that pursuing UN recognition could cause the
Palestinian Authority, painted the bleakest of scenarios and at times even
exaggerated the gravity of the situation.
At a hearing before the U.S. Congress, the undersecretary for political
affairs at the State Department, Wendy Sherman, said that if the
Palestinian statehood proposal was brought before the UN Security Council,
the United States would exercise its veto power to block it. At their
meeting with Abbas, Ross and Hale stressed that in addition to invoking
the veto on any request to the Security Council, even a request for
statehood recognition by the UN General Assembly would result in a
reduction of American aid to the Palestinian Authority, which currently
stands at about $450 million a year.
Congress would be expected to cut it and in such an eventuality only a
special presidential order could free up the funding.
Abbas told his American guests that the Palestinian request to the UN was
not a substitute for negotiations with Israel, and he is ready to resume
negotiations after the UN vote. The U.S. diplomats told the PA leader that
recognition of a Palestinian state in the 1967 borders would totally
change the legal basis of relations between the PA and Israel, and would
undermine some of the foundations on which the peace process has been
According to the Israeli source, the American emissaries had the
impression that Abbas does not sufficiently understand the significance of
the UN request and its implications. "Abu Mazen [Abbas] conveyed great
distress in his meeting with Ross and Hale," the source said, adding that
he understood that he had painted himself into a corner but cannot
extricate himself.
Despite the warnings conveyed by the visiting Obama administration
officials, the meeting ended in failure, with Abbas saying that although
he was not interested in a confrontation with Israel or a quarrel with the
United States, at the current stage he could not forgo the request to the
UN. He had no other option, the PA leader said.
On Thursday, George Mitchell, who resigned as U.S. Middle East peace
emissary several months ago, told a Georgetown University audience in
Washington that the chances of the Obama administration managing to get
Abbas to change course are extremely small. It is difficult to be
optimistic about development over the coming months, Mitchell said.
On Thursday, the executive council of the Palestinian Liberation
Organization convened in Ramallah and reaffirmed its determination to
pursue statehood recognition at the UN. Also on Thursday, the Palestinians
launched a campaign to rally support for U.N. recognition, planning
demonstrations in the Palestinian territories and worldwide before asking
the world body to accept them as a full member state later this month.

We visit Las Lamas, where vines are planted among purple wildflowers and river elms and fist-sized stones. We see Faraona, a tiny patch atop the tallest hill in the area, high above Corullón. We sit outside the Café Bar Alameda and drink champagne. At 11:15 p.m., with the day's light finally gone, we head to dinner at Meson El Lagar de Montejos, an old stone house with a huge limb of a chestnut tree bisecting the dining room.
After lunch I feared I'd still be full at dinnertime. But now, seven hours later, I find my appetite has returned, right in sync with the Spanish schedule. I devour an omelette of mushrooms and sea urchin, one of the best egg dishes I've had in my life, along with three slices of angel food cake disguised as bread. We drink Las Lamas 2003. When lamb chops arrive, Palacios opens the La Faraona from the same vintage. Tannic but elegant, with lavender on the nose and a Burgundian complexity that is only beginning to show itself, it is not merely the wine of this visit, but also one of the finest Spanish wines I can remember. Palacios is enormously pleased by it. He breaks into a rayuela, a flamenco tune, by El Potito, one of his favorites. He stands up and sits down. He can't contain himself. "This is what we are trying to accomplish," he says. "There it is!"
It is past 1 a.m. when we return to the parador. We linger in the lobby discussing the day, then grip each other in a hug. I enter my room and sit on the bed, suddenly exhausted, but filled with the satisfaction of having drunk an uncompromising and original wine that speaks of both its geography and the man who made it. From down the hall I can hear, distant but distinct, the soaring refrain of the rayuela.

The SA-node is able to remain the dominant pacemaker through automaticity and overdrive suppression, as described in the Electrophysiology Section. However, when the SA-node fails to depolarize, surrounding cells with automaticity are able to spontaneously depolarize, taking over as the pacemaker for the heart. These secondary pacemaker cells each have an intrinsic rate, allowing us to predict which cells are pacing the heart.
When not overdrive-suppressed, the atria is able to spontaneously depolarize and pace the heart at a rate of 60-80 bpm, which is termed Atrial Rhythm or Atrial Escape Rhythm. If the atria fails to spontaneously depolarize, then the AV-Junction is able to pace the heart at a rate of 40 - 60 bpm, termed junctional escape rhythm. Should the SA-node, atria, and AV-Junction fail to pace the heart, the last hope is the ventricles themselves, which can spontaneously depolarize at a rate of 20-40 bpm, and is predictably referred to as a Ventricular Escape Rhythm.
Pacemaker |
Rate (bpm) |
SA-Node |
60 – 100 |
Atria |
60 - 80 |
AV-Junction |
40 - 60 |
Ventricles |
20 - 40 |
By analyzing the rate, you can start to predict where the pacemaker is located. As an example, a rate of 65 with abnormal P-waves would suggest an atrial rhythm, but not a sinus rhythm. With abnormal P-waves, the atrium is clearly depolarizing, but is initiated somewhere outside of the SA-node, with a different conduction pattern.
A rate of 45 with inverted P-waves following a normal QRS would suggest a junctional escape rhythm. The inverted P-waves reflect depolarization that is initiated in the AV-node, traveling in a retrograde fashion up the conduction system. Please note that P-waves are not always present, either due to poor retrograde conduction or they are buried in the QRS complex. Additionally, they may be found before or after the QRS complex, depending on the transit time through the AV-node.
With junctional escape rhythms, the QRS complex is typically narrow. Activation begins at the AV-node, which is supraventricular (above the ventricles). As such, conduction is able to proceed from the AV-node to the Bundle of His and the rest of the ventricular conduction system in a normal fashion.
Heart rates (or ventricular depolarization rates) less than 40 bpm with a wide complex suggest a ventricular escape rhythm. Here, the ventricles are not activated in the typical pattern, and as such, do not depolarize as quickly or efficiently. In addition, ventricular depolarization is unlikely to undergo retrograde conduction through the AV-node and back into the atrium.
Similar to escape beats, premature beats are ectopic beats that do not originate in the SA-node. However, unlike escape beats that only occur after a sustained sinus pause, premature beats occur sporadically within a normal conduction cycle, appearing earlier than a normal beat.
These premature beats are the result of an area of enhanced automaticity that leads to spontaneous depolarization. Depending on the timing, these premature waves of depolarization can have various effects on the rhythm. They can be identified at the atrial, junctional, or ventricular level, each with slightly different presentations.
Atrial premature beats, sometimes referred to as Premature Atrial Contractions / Complexes (PACs) are the most complicated. They are marked by an abnormally shaped P-wave, labeled P', that occurs prior to the next predicted P-wave. The shape varies with the location of the irritability focus, and can be found anywhere within the depolarization cycle. However, if there is an unexplained pause and no P', check the T-waves and QRS complexes. Depending on the timing, the P' may be buried within another wave. Check for abnormally large T-waves or unusual shapes within the QRS for clues.
If the PAC is able to depolarize the SA-node, then the normal cycle will reset. The rate present prior to the PAC will resume following the PAC and subsequent repolarization of the SA-node. However, there will be a brief episode of irregularity where the PAC occurred. During this interval, you will not see a sinus beat because it is buried in the rest of the PAC.
As an example, a patient with a resting heart rate of 60 bpm would have a contraction every 1s. Starting at time 0, you would predict that the SA node would fire at time 0,1s,2s,3s etc. However, instead of firing at time 3s, an abnormal P-wave appears at 2.5s. No contractions are present at 3s, but at 3.5s, 4.5s, 5.5s the normal SA-depolarization occurs. The atrial rate resumed following the PAC, but the timing is now slightly different than initially predicted. This change in timing is due to the PAC resetting the SA-node.
When located further from the SA-node, or the timing coincides with a refractory period, the PAC may fail to depolarize the SA-node. When this happens, a compensatory pause occurs. This pause is double the PP interval, and is related to the concept of refractory periods.
In this example, the SA-node again fires at time 0, 1s, 2s, etc and the PAC fires at time 2.5s. However, it fails to depolarize the SA-node, only effecting part of the atrial tissue. At time 3s, the SA-node depolarizes on schedule, but is unable to spread throughout the atrium due to the refractory state of the surrounding myocardium. As a result, there is little to no change on the EKG, because it is not sensitive enough to detect depolarization of the conduction pathways, only the much larger myocardial depolarization.
While the SA-node did fire at time 3s, nothing was recorded. It will continue to fire every second, and at time 4s, another NSR will be recorded. The net result is a P' wave that appears between a P-P interval that is double the normal length of time (P at 3s, refractory atrium at 4s, P at 5s). This phenomenon is referred to as a compensatory pause.
Up until this point, we have only addressed changes that occur within the atrium. However, it is possible for the PAC to conduct down through the AV-node and into the ventricles. The timing of the PAC will determine if this conduction is possible, as well as the resulting QRS morphology.
If the AV-node is refractory when the PAC occurs, it is impossible to conduct a ventricular beat. The resulting waveform is referred to as a non-conducted PAC. If the AV-node and ventricular conduction system are fully repolarized, the PAC is able to conduct, resulting in a normal, narrow QRS complex that appears earlier than expected.
However, if the AV-node is repolarized but the ventricular system is only partially repolarized, then an abnormal QRS complex ensues, termed PAC with aberrancy. Depolarization is able to travel down through the AV-node and enter the repolarized ventricle, but unable to access the refractory portion. The net result is a slow, widened QRS that is recorded as one portion of the conduction system depolarizes earlier than the refractory section.
PACs have the greatest number of possible permutations. The good news is that once you understand the theory behind the changes, learning about junctional and ventricular premature beats is simple.
Before discussing the junctional and ventricular premature beats, we need to address the concept of geminy, which refers to pairs or couples. Premature beats may occur regularly, pairing with an existing rhythm. These PACs frequently reset the SA-node, resulting in a short pause, but not a full compensatory pause. In Atrial Bigeminy, the PAC follows every normal sinus beat. The pattern is:
P – P' – reset – P – P' – reset – P – P'
With Atrial Trigeminy, there are two normal beats followed by a PAC. The pattern is:
P – P – P' – (reset) – P – P – P' (reset) – P
Premature junctional beats (PJB) are similar in concept to PACs, except that they originate at the AV-junction instead of the atrium. With PJBs, you will see a sinus beat followed by a QRS depolarization that is not preceded by a P-wave. Just like PACs, PJBs may conduct to the ventricles with or without aberrancy, depending on the state of ventricular repolarization. Additionally, PJBs may also depolarize the atrium in a retrograde fashion, similar to junctional escape rhythms.
As you may have predicted, there are also geminy patterns with PJBs. A PJB that always follows a sinus beat is termed Junctional Bigeminy, and a PJB that follows two sinus beats is described as Junctional Trigeminy. This rhythms may or may not have retrograde P-waves, and reset the SA-node, creating a partial compensatory pause.
Premature ventricular beats, more commonly referred to as premature ventricular contractions (PVC), are the final level of premature automaticity. PVCs also originate from a focus of irritability, and are able to depolarize the ventricle. Unlike PACs and PJBs, they do not frequently cross the AV-node, leaving the atrial rhythm intact. PVCs do not utilize the His-Purkinje conduction system, resulting in large, slurred QRS complexes. PVCs frequently result in a compensatory pause due to the duration of ventricular repolarization, not resetting of the SA node (you may continue to see uninterrupted P-waves).
A PVC that routinely follows a normal QRS is Ventricular Bigeminy, and a PVC that follows two normal QRS beats is Ventricular Trigeminy.
Not all PVCs are isolated or coupled to the normal rhythm. When multiple PVCs occur sequentially, they are described as a Run of Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). To qualify as a run of VT, there must be at least 3 consecutive PVCs. These PVCs can originate from a single focus, giving a monomorphic appearance (Monomorphic VT), or originate from multiple foci, resulting in Polymorphic VT.
With VT, occasional fusion beats may occur, and are the result of simultaneous atrial and ventricular depolarization. With fusion beats, the conduction travels through the AV-node and begins to depolarizes the ventricular conduction system while a PVC begins to depolarize the ventricular myocardium from the opposite direction. The net result is a fusion of the two beats, with the first portion of the QRS appearing normal, while the latter portion appears broad and slurred. Fusion beats confirm the diagnosis of VT, which can occasionally be mistaken for aberrantly conducted beats.

The Evans Hybrid Coated Snare Drum Batter Head, originally baptized on the football field, is a drumhead that is durable to the extreme, yet does not sacrifice sensitivity. This is a result of the use of 2 unique high-tensile fibers, one chosen for flexibility and the other for durability. The snare batter drumhead answers the wishes of heavy rockers, delivering heightened attack and unprecedented resistance to breaking. The most durable of Evans heads, the hybrid coated snare drumhead offers an intriguing aesthetic. A layer of Evans' unique "frosted" coating allows the gray twill inner weave to clearly show through.
The Evans Hybrid Snare Drum Batter head borrows from its revolutionary sister, the Hybrid Marching Snare Batter and, thus, is the most durable of Evans' drum set heads and is already in use by metal drummers Bobby Jarzombek and Mike Wengren. These artists are delighting in having a drumhead that provides such extreme durability and attack without sacrificing feel or sensitivity.
The Evans Hybrid Snare Drum Batter head answers the prayers of heavy hitters. Evans has not only given them an exceptionally durable head; it has provided a drumhead that projects better across a wide dynamic range.
Feel, sensitivity, projection, and durability... all rolled into one head.

Comments about Evans Hybrid Coated Snare Drum Batter Head:
I play every single day on this batter head and after a YEAR this head still performs.
I play punk , with alot of fast snare parts so this thing get a workout.
Lasts as long as 3 normal heads easy.
Comments about Evans Hybrid Coated Snare Drum Batter Head:
This is by far the best snare head i have used, when tuned up nicely, it produces a loud crack, and i was surprised to find that it is also sensitive, so it's great for ghost noting and such. Since it is a mix between kevlar and a regular head, it is also very durable, i have had mine for about 4 months and there is barely a sign of wear at all.

text: Wofford College isn't a typical destination for people from the Garden State. But government professor John Farrenkopf is glad he found his way from New Jersey to South Carolina. "I was attracted to the idea of getting an academic position in the South," says Farrenkopf, who grew up in New Jersey and attended Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. "I'm originally from the Northeast, but I got my Masters in Government at Georgetown in D.C. and my Ph.D. in Foreign Affairs at the University of Virginia, so I've been gravitating southward."Wofford has been a good fit for more reasons than geography. Trinity is a small liberal arts college, as well."I was privileged to have the opportunity to attend an excellent liberal arts college," says Farrenkopf. "Once I had my Ph.D., I was oriented toward getting a position at a liberal arts college. That was my dream job."There were other factors, too."The fact that I could teach a wide variety of courses also attracted me to Wofford," Farrenkopf says. "There is no necessity here to become a narrow specialist like they have at research institutions. In addition, the teaching needs they had in this department matched what I wanted to do." "Also, Wofford has bright and motivated students. They have good classroom etiquette. That made it even more attractive. And you can develop new courses here to enrich the undergraduate curriculum. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to have designed a course on Chinese politics. It overlaps with my interest in good Chinese food."The road to Spartanburg wasn't a direct line from Hartford, though. Farrenkopf once spent four years in Germany. Two Fullbright and two Thyssen grants took him overseas to the University of Munich. After teaching at other colleges, he took time off to finish a scholarly work, "Prophet of Decline: Spengler's Philosophy of World History and Politics." But eventually he found his way to the Upstate, and he's loving every minute of it. "I'm delighted to be at Wofford and Spartanburg," says Farrenkopf. "I'm an avid hiker, so I love the fact that there are plenty of hiking opportunities here. It's not very far from the Blue Ridge Parkway, and you can actually go hiking here in town at the Cottonwood Trail."One of Farrenkopf's other passions is classical music. "I have a collection of CDs," he says. "I particularly enjoy listening to music by Bach, Mozart, Handel, Beethoven, Brahms, Wagner, Corelli, and Tchaikovsky."Both hiking and classical music are good escapes for a man who is very passionate about his work. He also hopes eventually to find the time to indulge more his interest in travel. Visiting the charming city of Charleston and its environs, sightseeing at the Outer Banks, and sailing in Long Island Sound since coming to Wofford have whetted his appetite for more."I also enjoy studying foreign languages and find them quite useful in scholarship," says Farrenkopf, who recently finished a scholarly article for publication that he wrote himself in German. Moreover, he is well versed enough in French to have done scholarly research in it."My big passion is studying world politics and history," he says. "I really love my work. Last summer, thanks to a generous Wofford summer grant, I finished the rough draft of a second book which is based on a course I teach at Wofford called Empire. The provisional title of the book is "Imperial Twilight: the American Empire and the Decline of the West."One reason I'm so deeply immersed in my work is that I teach world politics here, which requires you to regularly revise and update your courses. Change in world politics never ceases. For example, this semester I'm offering a course on the politics, economy, and foreign relations of China. One of the things we're going to touch upon is the effect of the current global economic crisis on China."Farrenkopf has traveled from New Jersey to Connecticut to Germany to South Carolina, where he teaches about China. He's living proof of the benefits of a liberal arts education.

I'm the editor of the language blog on Slate, Lexicon Valley.
I'm interested in linguistics outreach, both in terms of linguistic fieldwork and making linguistics topics more accessible to the general public. Research-wise, I'm interested in syntax-semantics fieldwork and typology in underdocumented languages, best practices in field linguistics, and language and technology.
I graduated from McGill University in 2013 with an M.A. in linguistics. My M.A. thesis is about verb stem composition in Mi'gmaq (Eastern Algonquian), with respect to how both roots ('initials') and categorizing elements ('finals') create idioms when they attach directly to each other, but have predictable meanings when they attach to larger pieces of structure. My thesis and various handouts can be downloaded here.
I write linguistics-related articles for a general audience, most notably about internet linguistics, including the grammar of doge, the "because x" construction, the constraints on synonyms for Benedict Cumberbatch, and interviews with CBC Spark and with the BBC Today Programme. A full list of my non-blog writing can be found here, and the most up-to-date source is always my blog, All Things Linguistic.
I've also written a guide to writing pop linguistics articles, which you should definitely check out if you're considering pitching me for Lexicon Valley.
When I'm not linguist-ing, I like swing-dancing, board games, and experimenting with new recipes.

Reflection Security Gateway 2014
This technical note steps you through the process to display Reflection for the Web or Reflection Security Gateway in your Oracle WebCenter Interaction Portal (formerly BEA AquaLogic User Interaction Portal): configuring Reflection to use the portal for authentication, selecting security options, and creating portlets (or gadgets) to display Reflection sessions or links lists in the portal.
Configuration Steps
This technical note is presented in the following sections:
Step 1Set up Portal Authentication
Step 2Configure Portal Options
Step 3Choose an Authorization Model
Step 4Create Terminal Sessions
Step 5Add a Reflection Portlet Server
Step 6Create Portlets
Before You Begin
The Reflection management server and Oracle WebCenter Interaction (formerly called BEA AquaLogic User Interaction) portal must be installed. For detailed information on installing the management server, see the Reflection for the Web Installation Guide.
Note: The Oracle WebCenter Interaction portal referred to portlets as gadgets. In this document, the term "portlet" will be used.
Step 1Set up Portal Authentication
To set up the portal authentication, follow these steps.
- In the Administrative WebStation, click Access Control Setup under Tools.
- Click Configure.
- Choose Portal.
- Click Next.
Step 2Configure Portal Options
To configure the portal options, follow these steps.
- On the Set Up Reflection for a Portal page, choose AquaLogic Interaction as the portal type.
- Enter a username and password to be used by AquaLogic in its Reflection portlet server. (Enter the username and password used to log onto the portal.)
- If you want to increase security, specify the portal server IP addresses Reflection accepts. You can use spaces, commas, or tabs as list delimiters. The Reflection management server refuses connections from any IP address not listed (unless the list is blank). This step is optional.
- Click Next.
Step 3Choose an Authorization Model
You can use your portal alone to authorize access to Reflection, or you can combine your portal access control with Reflection's LDAP authorization feature.
If you grant access to Reflection using the portal alone, no extra authorization is performed on session access.
Note the following:
- If you provide access to specific sessions, users log onto the portal and can go directly to the session.
- If you provide access to the Reflection links list, all users with the Reflection portlet have access to all published sessions.
If you use both the portal and Reflection's LDAP authorization, you have an extra layer of control over session access.
- If you provide access to specific sessions, users log onto the portal and go to the session. Reflection checks that the user's login ID is authorized to access the session, and if so, delivers the session. If the user is not authorized, an error message appears.
- If you provide access to the Reflection links list, you can use the Access Mapper to assign sessions to specific users and groups. Users log onto the portal and go to their links list, then click a link to any session they are authorized to access.
To choose the authorization model, follow these steps.
- On the Choose Authorization Methods page, choose an authorization type.
- Click Next.
- If you have chosen LDAP authorization, enter information about your LDAP server and click Next.
- View your choices and click Save Settings.
Step 4Create Terminal Sessions
To create terminal sessions, follow these steps.
- In the Administrative WebStation, click Session Manager.
- 2. Click Add and continue through the Session Manager to configure and save a session.
- 3. Click Access Mapper. If you have chosen to use portal authorization only, publish the session by checking the box next to its name. If you have chosen LDAP authorization, search for users or groups and map the session to them.
Step 5Add a Reflection Portlet Server
To add a Reflection portlet server, follow these steps.
- In the portal administrative interface, from the administrative menu, choose Portlet Servers > Add Portlet Server.
- Enter a name and description.
- Click Next.
- Enter the Reflection base URL:
http://<web server name>:<port>/<context>
For example, if you have installed Reflection on a server called "catwillie" using port 8080 and the default context, your base URL is http://www.catwillie.com:8080/rweb.
Note: Make sure you have the correct URL. In particular, if you originally create a session under the HTTP protocol, then switch to HTTPS, you must change the URL accordingly.
You must include the port number only if you are not using the default (80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS).
- Choose Administrator with this username and password as the basic authentication type.
- Enter the username and password you provided when configuring access control in the Reflection Administrative WebStation.
- Finish configuring the portlet server. You can accept the defaults for all remaining fields.
Step 6Create Portlets
You can display Reflection sessions or links lists in the portal by creating portlets.
- In the portal administrative interface, from the administrative menu, choose Portlets > Add Remote Portlet.
- On the General Information page, enter a portlet name.
- Choose the Reflection portlet server.
- On the HTTP Configuration page, locate the Reflection portlet server base URL and enter the portlet's specific URL in the accompanying field.
To display a session, use the following:
RWebSession.do?link=<session name>&portal=true&appletOnly=true
For example, if your session is called "accounting", the portlet URL is
Note: Certain characters in session names are converted to universal symbols.
You can find the correctly formatted session URL in two places in the Session Manager:
- Click View URLs to see a complete list of all session URLs.
- Click the session name to go to the session configuration page. The URL is displayed at the top of the page after the session name.
Paste the URL into a text editor and edit as needed.
- Delete the base URL (for example, http://www.catwillie.com:8080/rweb).
- After the session name, add &portal=true&appletOnly=true.
To display the end user links list, use:
- Choose None for the portlet authentication type. Reflection portlets are authenticated using the portlet server username and password.
- Finish configuring the portlet. You can accept the defaults for all remaining fields.

Spending Time
Paul and Sue Dumbleton
This presentation will examine the concept of leisure time for people with a learning difficulty.
Leisure time is usually understood in contrast to work time. Leisure time is free time, time which we choose how to spend in contrast to work time over which we have less control.
People who have a learning difficulty can lack this contrast. They often have too much free time though the quality of that time can be poor. Newly configured day services are often premised on leisure activities and while these can offer greater choice than traditional day centre activities they blur the boundary between leisure time and work time. The leisure time of people who have a learning difficulty is often highly structured there is little scope for simply being. For example, many teenagers and young adults do not have structured free time they 'chill' with friends or 'hang out'. For teenagers and young people who have a learning difficulty this way of spending time is more problematic.
The social lives of disabled young people are generally impoverished compared with those of their non-disabled peers (Capability Scotland, 2003; Sharma & Dowling 2004). But, despite official recognition of this (Scottish Executive 2000) and legislation (The Children (Scotland) Act 1995 HMSO) designed to counter the effects of social isolation, difficulties persist. Leisure time, by its definition, is a private matter. It is not usually an area for social policy or for support except where this is given in highly structured ways such as the provision of special clubs or sports associations. Supporting people to 'hang out' requires subtle and sophisticated intervention.
The presentation will examine the ways in which children and young people with learning difficulties spend their leisure time. It is based on the testimony of parents who established social clubs for their sons and daughters in the 1960s and with more contemporary approaches to 'spending time'. It will conclude with some examples from the voluntary sector of how this subtle support can be achieved.

out of 5 starsI purchased two coat trees for a high traffic entry way at a car dealership. They are professional looking, sturdy and a great value. - Kate
Wanted a sturdy coat rack with several hooks and lower ones for the kids. This is perfect! Very attractive. Pretty easy tp assemble. The price was more than reasonable too. Definately worth the wait, you wont go wrong with this product! - Tonya
It is very sturdy , something my family needs - no
I like this coat tree out of all the other ones that I looked at.it will last for many years and the price was right. If I ever need another I will get this one. - wildcatink
The product lived up to its expectations, is beautiful, sturdy, functional, packaged and shipped with care and easily assembled. - MountainMan
Congratulations for a fine product. Not only does it look good and solid, great attention was made to insure that all construction was simple to assemble, parts were included and care was taken so that it was shipped without damage. It looks good in the foyer and was used immediately after assembly. Great product for a good price. - Mountain Man Paul
I have been looking for a classic coat tree that's both attractive and not way out of budget. The Jera Coat Tree fit the bill. Deliver was very fast. Product is a lovely rich brown with some slight distressing to add character and the brushed nickel hardware sets it off nicely. Assembly was a cinch bar one feature. The bottom half of the post never full grabbed onto the base and ended up stripping out. However, the four stabilizing arms more than compensated for that design flaw as it is nice and sturdy now. It sets off my entryway perfectly! I am very pleased with my purchase! :) - Farm Chick
Have a "Mud Room" where my dog goes in and out. Hubby throws coat/jacket on the bench.. Clothes Tree Perfect for him to hang them up. Now there is Room on the bench for putting on boots. Every thing neat and tidy. - Retired Mom-Mom

OneDayCareer.org Code Sprint
We will be getting together at Droplabs from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm to get some hands-on experience building and customizing Features and learning to utilize Git as a team in a fast-paced code sprint.
We are helping OneDayCareer.org, a new mentoring organization focused on arranging one-day professional mentoring opportunities to college students, complete their Drupal website based on the DrobJobs installation profile. The site has progressed since the initial barn raising event and we will have a variety of tasks available for individuals and teams to tackle.
Everyone in the Droplabs Module Development Bootcamp course is invited as well as any other GLAD aficionados interested in learning Drupal Feature building and modification, custom module development, and GIT version control.

Possessing the right blend of features and design, the G3 finally gives LG the right phone with which to challenge Korean rival Samsung.
The makers of the entertaining 3Doodler are looking for $30,000 on Kickstarter to make this significantly smaller model.
Pricing not available
Very, very incremental updates from the X-A1 include a flip-up display.
While it will begin to cede its position to the PS4 in 2015, the PlayStation 3 still delivers impressively strong value for gaming and video entertainment.
The successor to the Oppo N1 skips a number and comes with an updated design and features -- including a motorised, rotating leatherette camera. No, really.
For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range.
One of last year's best, the iPad Mini 3 is still a compelling choice despite the lack of upgrades. However, the nearly identical and significantly cheaper iPad Mini 2 is a smarter buy.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
The Parrot MiniDrone Jumping Sumo gives you a ground-level look at your environment as it spins and jumps at your command.

Welcome one and all. Since 2007 I always wondered what Toa Lesovikk's Team would look like alive and well. It puzzled me that the first toa team EVER didn't get much backstory let alone design fleshed out. Just killed off without a second thought and left on the backburner. When Greg Farshtey spilled about just what the Red Star was, it further inspired me to recreate the Toa who could have easily been reintroduced in Pohatu and Kopaka's current dilemma in the still unfinished story serial.
Here is my take on how the members of Lesovikk's team appeared before their tragic deaths.
The First Toa Team (Toa Rukai) consisted of (Excluding Lesovikk and Nikila) :
A Toa of Water
A Toa of Stone
A Toa of Fire
A Toa of Sonics
A Toa of Iron
A Toa of Gravity
6 members nameless and unidentifiable in any way other than element. Devoid of personality. How sad.
I'll be posting their concepts here for you all to see. I'll be providing new work later on with character bios and other goodies.
Finished Art/Bios:
"A great disaster is coming... I don't know when, but we must act fast."
"You will learn RESPECT!"
TOA ROAK Final
"Strength is not a weapon, but a responsibility. Use it wisely."
UPDATE: TOA IDENO Final
Name: Ideno
Element: Fire
Toa Tool of Choice: The Power Launcher
Kanohi: Great Kaulsi, Mask of Fast-Travel
Background: As a matoran, Ideno served his bretheren of fire as a sniper for the Ta-Doku Guard. After 100 years of a long campaign he started to feel tense about the disk launcher he used so frequently. Something felt off no matter how many times he readjusted the aim or rebalanced the disks. His affiliation for weapons; particularily Disk Launchers is unmatched and is always visited by his comrades for maintenance and advice. One day his old friend Gyro showed up for a favor along with schematics for a new weapon: A staff that could fire great disks. Ideno accepted without hesitation and immediately got to work with the lanky iron matoran, toiling over the smithery and experimenting with several builds until he reached his goal. There stood a staff far taller than he was; build from the strongest polymers and protosteel he could scavenge from Gyro's work desk and spare parts from his own launcher. Gyro grinned along with the fire matoran, happy about their new invention. Now they just had to test it.
Before Ideno could touch it however there was a blast coming from the outer gates. He stormed toward the gate to find the breach: a small pack of kikanalo were enraged and ramming their powerful horns against the stone walls of the village. Thinking quickly, Ideno ran back to the room and nabbed the newly made Power Launcher, hilting it on the crease of the balcony before taking aim; using his body as a balance to keep the large weapon steady before firing the Shrink disk off at the pack. In a flash the mighty kikanalo were no smaller than hoi turtles, scurrying away when they became aware of their new gigantic surroundings. Ideno breathed a sigh of relief, sitting down to wipe the sweat beading from his forehead. A shadow loomed over him; his eyes meeting green armoured legs and realizing it was Toa Lesovikk who was staring down at him with a proud smile on his face. "That was quite a shot." the toa said. Ideno was utterly speechless. "Perhaps you'll be more spot on with this." he continued before handing the ta matoran sniper a glowing red Toa stone. Ideno had no time to respond as the Toa had already vanished with the wind. He smiled to himself as his eyes were drawn back to his new found weapon; his hands shaking with excitement and heartlight pumping.
Abilities: Ideno can create and control Fire. He has the unique ability to heat up the molecules in his body to become hot to the touch. His years serving in the Ta Doku guard has sharpened his reflexes and has near pin-point accuracy with his disk launchers. His Great Kaulsi allows Ideno to teleport to whatever is in his field of vision. He could teleport to other places not seen with the help of a kanohi Suletu wearer but is considered too risky and has never been performed.
Personality: Ideno is confident and outgoing. However his years as a Ta Doku Sniper gave him a bad case of paranoia, leaving him a jittery mess whenever the situation is high profile and tries to calm himself down with an old folk song. With the time for action comes forth however he switches to an entirely different persona; a cool-headed tactical strategist who chooses to keep his distance and plan things ahead. While Nikila excels at thinking on her feet, Ideno plans in advance; deducing every situation before acting on any variables his mind projects. He is marvelled at weapons of various shapes and sizes and talks about them often. His confident demeanor earns him respect among his colleagues but paints a target on Lesvikk's back for who the true leader of the Toa Rukai should be. The Toa of Fire is a firm believer that Lesovikk can lead the team through thick and thin, forming a brotherly bond with him in his time before serving the guard. He waves away the ones who tell him otherwise and like any proud sniper, has his comrade's backs. His loyalty is as fierce as his inner flame that burns for his people, and if anyone should come between that; they will know the real reason you don't play with fire.

The alcove for my tub is about 5'x7'. The total size of the bathroom is 10x16. There will be 2 can lights in the ceiling in the main part of the room and 2 sets of 4-light vanity lights, so amount of light is not an issue. What size should the light over the tub be? I don't want it to look skimpy. I like chandeliers to be slightly over-sized, but not ridiculously so. I know the general formula for a room is length + width treated as inches (ex, 12x15 room would need a chandelier that is appx 27" in diameter). Should I use that formula for my bathroom, even though the chandelier will be off-set to one side in an alcove? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm terrible at figuring scale for things like this, so hopefully someone else wil come along that can help you. I'm posting to share related info when it comes to hanging a chandelier over a tub: When bidding out the remodel of our master bath, we interviewed 3 different contractors. Three times we heard that codes don't allow hanging light fixtures above a tub unless there is 6' of clearance between the top rim of the tub and the lowest section of the fixture. Then, the fixture has to be "damp conditions" rated. So, that eliminated our ability to do anything except a fixed (rather than swinging) fixture above our tub. FYI! |
Thanks, Jewel. Due to tall ceilings, we have the required distance and are not required to have the "damp conditions" rating. |
That's great! Jealous! :) |

I have never seen that formula before. But I just googled and voila. I don't have an answer for you but I recently bought 2 ceiling lights of different sizes. The one that i thought would be just right is, in fact, too small. And the one that I though would be overkill for the closet is exactly right and works beautifully. If you're in doubt I vote go a little bigger than you think is necessary and will still keep it out of reach while someone is in the tub. All the ones I have seen on houzz.com that really make a statement seem to be at least 18" and often more. Go for it! |
- Posted by niteshadepromises (My Page) on Wed, Jan 8, 14 at 7:09
I thought it was actually 8 feet above the rim of the tub according to code. All my research came back as that. Just wanted to mention it in case I'm right and someone has the impression its 6 feet. Or someone can correct me and tell my how its 6 O.o |
Maybe it changes by state? |
Building codes are location specific. My town has adopted the ICC Building Code but then made amendments. Another town an hour away has also adopted the ICC Building Code but made totally different amendments. So, on the surface it appears to be a uniform code, but it isn't. My builder builds in both places and has to remember where he is and what the differences are. Yesterday we got to talking about a light fixture in a closet. Something as small and mundane as that is treated differently by each locality. |

I don't think they are allowed in our area....but I could be wrong... |
- Posted by niteshadepromises (My Page) on Thu, Jan 9, 14 at 7:52
Ok, I was under the impression everyone was bound by the NEC..good to know! |
While there are several versions of building code out there, they sort of all intertwine. And for sure, code doesn't apply in all locales. And some areas do have state and local amendments that pile on top of whatever code does apply in those areas. IBC, NFPA, IRC, NEC. They all sort of come full circle. With regards to this discussion about lighting over a tub, here's the general text. It's worded similarly in all of the codes, but the reference paragraphs are different: Bathtub and shower areas. The goal is that to keep pendant fixtures out of the reach of a bather that is in a tub or shower. If someone was in the tub or shower and slipped, they would not be able to instinctively reach out and grab a lighting fixture. The "wet" and "damp" restrictions address corrosion issues, for fixture and conductor durability. |

We've been proud to partner with the School of Visual Arts' Design Criticism department over the past several years, and 2013 is no exception. The curriculum for the two-year MFA program culminates with an afternoon-long conference in which the graduating class presents their thesis research alongside the likes of faculty members Paola Antonelli and Adam Harrison Levy, as well as guest speakers such as Michael Bierut, Julie Lasky and Rob Walker to name a few.
counter/point: The 2013 D-Crit Conference, moderated by NPR's "The Takeaway" host John Hockenberry, and featuring graduating students of the SVA MFA in Design Criticism, will take place on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at the SVA Theatre in New York City.
Paola Antonelli, senior curator of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art, will deliver the keynote lecture, launching an afternoon of rich, polyphonic exchange between the D-Crit Class of 2013 and a headlining roster of design curators, practitioners, theorists, critics, educators, and planners. D-Crit students will be presenting their thesis research in counterpoint with: Walker Arts Center curator of Architecture and Design Andrew Blauvelt; British interaction design firm Dunne & Raby co-founder Fiona Raby; architect and theorist Mark Foster Gage; director of the J. Max Bond Center on Design for the Just City Toni Griffin; and architect and activist Michael Sorkin.
Topics to be addressed include: the persistence of segregation in today's built environment; the problems inherent in exhibiting graphic design; the spectacular framing of nature in the urban environment; product design's social and participatory dimension; and how some emerging architects are using literal representation in new ways.
As always, the D-Crit Conference features an all-star lineup of speakers, but the students themselves have remarkably diverse backgrounds and each is a sure to make their voice heard within the design criticism community. Thus, Counter/Point is the perfect opportunity to see these rising stars present their latest work as they look forward to their next endeavors.

By now it is common knowledge that being severely overweight puts people at increased risk of suffering from heart disease, stroke and diabetes and that obesity—defined as weighing at least 20 percent more than the high side of normal—is on the rise. According to one estimate, the U.S. will be home to 65 million more obese people in 2030 than it is today, leading to an additional six million or more cases of heart disease and stroke and another eight million cases of type 2 diabetes. Many clinicians have already begun seeing families in which the grandparents are healthier and living longer than their children and grandchildren.

...In marriage, it can certainly be challenging to harmonize spousal love with the responsible transmission of life. Janet Smith and Christopher Kaczor, in an illuminating passage from one of their recent books, acknowledge this challenge and point to the need for a "spirit of generosity" when it comes to procreation:A collection of columns by Father Pacholczyk can be found HERE."Pope John Paul II spoke of 'responsible parenthood,' in which a couple uses practical wisdom, prayer and a spirit of generosity in determining how many children they should have. Some Catholics believe that the Church permits the use of NFP only for reasons that verge on the truly desperate, such as a situation where a pregnancy would threaten a woman's life or a family is living in dire poverty. Magisterial documents, however, state that spouses may have physical, psychological, economic or social reasons for needing to limit family size, using several different adjectives to describe those reasons: One can have 'just' reasons, 'worthy' reasons, 'defensible' reasons, 'serious' reasons and 'weighty' reasons. In short, the Magisterium teaches that spouses must have unselfish reasons for using NFP and limiting their family size."
At times, then, our justifications for avoiding a pregnancy may merit further reflection and scrutiny on our part. When it comes to "poverty," for example, would our poverty, in the true sense of the word, mean that the child would be malnourished and without warm clothing, or would it simply mean that he or she would forego some of the latest hi-tech gadgets that other children in the neighborhood might be enjoying?
I recall what a father of seven children on a tight budget once told me in a conversation: "Honestly, there's always room around the table for one more, and with 'hand me down' clothing we always manage. And my goodness, isn't it a momentous thing to receive that trust of preparing another soul for an eternal destiny with God?" His wife pointed out how the older children ended up helping with raising the younger ones, lessening the burdens on mom and dad, and turning it into a "team effort."
The ancient Christian teaching on the two-fold purpose of marriage, namely, the "procreation and education of children," and the "mutual help and sanctification of the spouses," accurately summarizes the inner order of marriage. As the future John Paul II wrote in his great 1960 book 'Love and Responsibility,' radical personal openness to both of these purposes is essential to the success and meaning of any marriage. We should never enter into marriage with active opposition to the very ends for which it exists...

For married couples: The importance of being open to new life
