It will check prerequisites for schema and its owner.
Click OK to close the Checking Prerequisite screen. Fix errors if they appear before continuing. 6.4). Create a password for all the schemas.
Specify the password same for below 2 different schemas .Be aware of the current setup related issue with RCU schema password (Seems to be an Oracle Bug). Two different schemas's having different password or the password having underscore ('_') character causing issue while set up OBIEE 11g Fusion Middleware .Hence for the current situation keep password simple and same for both schema's as 'rcu' .This password will be reused later during OFMW11g setup. Click "Next" and take a look at the summary.
6.5) Next screen comes for Map Tablespaces with a message Click ok on Message.

8). Install OBIEE 11g. Extract Setup Files.
8.1) Execute the setup from the disk1
8.2) Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) pre-requisite verification started.
8.4) Skip the installation software updates screen.
8.5). Select the "Installation Type" as 'Simple' and click on next button. This is easiest and recommended for first try .All the parameters will be set by default.
Simple Install:- which is what
most developers testing out the software will require, installs a basic OBIEE 11gR1 system along with WebLogic Server, using default values for things like domain names, port numbers and the like.
Enterprise Install:- gives you
a few more options than a Simple Install, letting you customize the name of the WebLogic domain, the WebLogic Managed Server, the ports that are used and so on. If you need to vary away from the defaults, or "scale out" an existing installation, choose this option (but for most developers, Simple Install will be fine)
C. Software Only Install :- will install the OBIEE 11gR1 software (but not WebLogic Server, you need to have this already installed), but doesn't set up any "instances" of OBIEE, a similar situation to when you install the Oracle Database binaries but don't configure a database instance.
Selecting the Simple Install option will move you on to the next page for the installer, which then prompts you to select a "middleware home" directory for installation.
8.6) Installer Prerequisites checks automatically.
8.7). Create a Middleware home directory.
All of the OBIEE 11g installation will go into this directory (there are no longer OracleBI, or OracleBIData directories they will store separately from Middleware home directory), including the binaries and the "OBIEE instance" files, creating a separation in 11gR1 between those files that are static – the binaries and configuration file templates – and those that change over time, which include the configuration files, repositories, XML files and web catalog.
8.8) Enter credential for weblogic Server.
Enter a username and password for the WebLogic Server. In 11gR1 there is no longer the concept of an Administrator user, and instead you create an administrator user here that becomes the default admin login into OBIEE (and the various WebLogic Server administration tools).
8.9). Configuring the components. Select all components if they will not appear selected by default.
8.10). Enter Database and connection Details.
Enter connection details to the database in which you set up the DEV_BIPLATFORM schema. Look back to the connection details which are used for the RCU and enter these details as shown in screen shot.
8.11) Enter connection details to the database in which you set up the DEV_MDS schema. Look back to the connection details which are used for the RCU and enter these details as shown in screen shot.
8.12) Specify the security updates or you can skip as you wish Click next and press yes on message.
8.13). Finalize the installation. Click on installation button to start the installation. The installation process then begins, and starts by installing the supporting WebLogic Server files required for the infrastructure layer.
8.14). It will ask you for disk change then use browse button to change the disk and again installation will start. It proceeds to install what in 11gR1 are called the "System Components", which in this release are still C+ + applications but are managed now by WebLogic.
Installation will ask for other disks between processing in sequence like disk4 disk 5 disk 2 disk3disk4 disk5.
8.15). Once installation has finished, it creates install log files automatically, start execution of post install scripts and apply one off patches. (Installation will finish at 98%).
8.16) Few seconds after installation configuration will start automatically
On the same screen, installation success message will appear.The configuration process starts with the next screen. Initially, this is concerned with instantiating the WebLogic domain and managed server, together with supporting technologies such as Enterprise Manager and Oracle Web Services Manager.
8.17) Within configuration process the BI Server, BI Presentation Server and other system components are registered within the WebLogic Server managed server, and OPMN is configured so that it can stop, start and monitor them (more on this in future blog posts).
If any component gets fails to configure during configuration then click on retry to start configure again.
8.18) Verify the configuration 100% and green check sign over BI configuration.
8.19). Next screen will show Complete message. Once check out the configuration, click on save button to generate summary details file then click on Finish to finish the installation and configuration of OBIEE 11g.
8.20) After finish Analytics will start automatically in default browser Login with weblogic credential and check for reports.
Select any default report to make sure installation is done successfully.
9). Post install check. Restart the machine. 9.1).Start the BI Administration Tool to open the sample repositoriesSelect a repository in offline mode
Enter default password Admin123 as password to open the repository. Have a look of repository (rpd) into BI Administration Tool.
9.2). Go to Start Menu and select All ProgramsOracle Business Intelligence Start BI Services.
Once you run the Windows Start Menu entry, a DOS box opens up which can ask you to type in the WebLogic Server admin username and password, which you set earlier on in the install process, or start without asking for username and password.
9.3). Once this is entered, a WebLogic Server script then starts the admin server, then the managed server, the OPMN service any other components, and about five minutes later you should be able to log into OBIEE 11g, again using the WebLogic Server admin username and password, Oracle Business Intelligence instance.
9.4) check out with below links to validate the other components with installation using weblogic credential.
A). For Web Logic Console
B). For Business Intelligence Publisher
C). Oracle Enterprise Manager
D). Real-Time Decisions (Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7 and 8 are the only currently supported browsers for Real Time Decisions)
Type your server name (System/ Computer name) or local host in place of BI.

Alright. I have spent the last few hours connecting myself to the virtual world that exists at the tip of my fingers.
After attending the ASID Spring Conference in Myrtle Beach - Ron McDaniel (BUZZOODLE.COM guru) convinced me that my myspace, and facebook were not enough. . . I needed to youtube be a linkedin blogger and twitter my life away.
I have uploaded, posted, reposted - sent requests, answered back, wrote on the walls and now finally, have decided that all of this could be a full time job. . . I already have the perfect office picked out on a beach of Bora Bora.
As if there are not enough usernames, passwords, secret codes and email accounts to check - I am seriously putting my memory to the test. . . (should have paid more attention to the memory game in kindergarden instead of eating paste).
So, here I am . . .

This article describes 3 stages of construction of the Sensory Over-Responsivity (SensOR) Scales: instrument development, reliability and validity analyses, and cross-validation on a new sample. The SensOR Scales include the SensOR Assessment, an examiner-administered performance evaluation, and the SensOR Inventory, a caregiver self-rating scale. Both scales measure sensory overresponsivity in 7 sensory domains. Data were collected from 2 samples consisting of participants who were typically developing (ns = 60 and 44, respectively) and participants with sensory overresponsivity (ns = 65 and 48, respectively), ages 3 to 55. In developing the research edition, items on the pilot version were reviewed for their internal consistency reliability, discriminant validity, and construct validity. Data from both samples on the research edition revealed high internal consistency reliability for domains and the total test and significant discrimination between the overresponsive and the typically responsive groups (p < .05). The preliminary psychometric integrity of the scales, along with continued research efforts, is an important contribution to evidence-based practice.

I created some scripts for a simple farming bot a few years ago and they rely on ControlSend.
A year ago I quit that game and then installed Windows 10 (was using windows 7).
Recently I installed that game and tried running them again and they seem to work (I have some messages displayed on the screen with the state of the bot ), except for the ControlSend part (which obviously is crucial).
I started debugging the scripts so I created a basic script that makes use of Send. I tested this with Notepad in focus and works just fine and then with my game window in focus and it didn't work (it's supposed to write that text in an input box from the game).
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Sleep(3000); Send("some text"); MsgBox($MB_OK, "Notification", "Control was sent!");
Is there a way for the creators of the game to create some kind of security system against this? Or something happens because I updated to Windows 10?
Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you!

Hello everyone,
I have a script that is automating a piece of sluggish software. I want to automate it with a bit of caution and I am not sure the best way to do it. ControlSend works great most of the time. If I have it enter 10 into a text box every once in a while it will enter 1 or 11 and then hit enter.
To overcome this I use MouseClick to select the text I just entered and then see if it matches the string it was supposed to put in before it hits enter. This seems to work but what I love about ControlSend is there is less room for human interaction messing it up.
Yes I could block input but I prefer not to do that (permissions).
Is there a better way of doing this? Any Help would be much appreciated.
Anyway here is the snippet of the script in question:
Func KVSend () WinActivate ( "Window", "" ) Local $WindowPos = WinGetPos("Window", "") If $kV < 30 Then WinActivate ( "Window", "" ) ControlClick ("Window", "", 1001) ;Click in Accel Voltage box Sleep (100) ControlSend ("Window", "", 1001, $kV) ; \ kV Sleep (100) MouseMove($WindowPos[0]+130,$WindowPos[1]+75,1) MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT) MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_LEFT) Send ("^c") Local $clip = ClipGet () If $clip = $kV Then ControlSend ("Window", "", 1001, "{ENTER}") ;Hit ENTER if value is correct Sleep (100) ControlClick ("Window", "", 1518) ;Lens Clear Else Send ("{BACKSPACE}") KVSend() ; If value is incorrect try again EndIf EndIf

In the Cairngorms and up on Ben nevis, heh !
I saw this, posted by Cairngorm Mountain Company, earlier …
It makes me think of snow days and crunchy, icy walks.
There are so many delicate, pale colours reflected by snow. It is far from plain old white.
I am looking forward to the challenge of painting snow, this winter.
Here's hoping we get a white-ish one !
Last year was a good one for snow 🙂

"Dru Bex is a rapper/singer/overall creative from Toronto, Canada. I am a Christian first and foremost. I'm a husband and a father."
"Hip-Hop was the anthem of my life growing up." Dru Bex was attracted towards creative artists like Busta Rhymes and Wu Tang Clan. "When I began to rap, hip-hop helped me express myself and say things that I wouldn't necessarily say in a conversation." He says it affected how he dressed, talked, and viewed the world. "It just had more impact than anything else other than God."
Dru Bex was raised by his mother, but when he was seven years old she was killed in a car accident. After that, he lived with his father and step-mother who were not Christians. "I wasn't really going to church, but the ideals that my mother had placed in me still carried through."
As a teen, he went to live with his grandparents who were regular churchgoers. At that point, he didn't have much interest in going to church, but his grandmother made sure he went. "I began to hear the sermons and connect with the words."
"There was one night I went to a club and I had a chain. Sometime over the course of the night while I was at the club, my chain got stolen." He looked everywhere for it but couldn't find it.
"The guy who stole it was one of the people who were supposedly my friends and not only him, but the whole group of friends that I had, or thought I had, were in on it."
After he found this out, they refused to give it back and at one-point, Dru Bex got fed up. "I had a bat in my hand. I went to confront them and they all attacked me. This is like something out of a movie. My grandmother happened to be driving by and she saw me, stopped the car and said 'Get in.'" He ran from the crowd, jumped in the car, and was out of there.
His grandmother decided to drive him to church. He said "I'm not going to church. I'm getting my chain back." Dru Bex didn't win this argument and went with his grandmother to a bible study at her church. "I was sitting in the back of this church, waiting for it to be over and the pastor was reading the scripture where it says when your mother and father forsake you, the whole idea of being forsaken by people in your life, but God will never forsake you."
Hearing what the pastor had to say made Dru Bex think hard about his life.
"You know what? This is it. I was seventeen years old at that time and I said, 'This is it, this is when I'm finally gonna officially make a decision to follow Christ. All the lessons that my mother had taught me when I was younger came flooding back.'"
Last month, he released an album called In God's Good Time. Patience and contentment are key themes of the project. "You might be wondering why certain things are happening in your life. If you're consistent and you pray, and if God has something for you, it'll come to pass."
Waiting for what he wanted has been a big part of Dru Bex's life and his career in music. "I started out rapping a long time ago and I actually stopped rapping." He thought that since he hadn't become well-known after some time, he should give up.
"It wasn't until I started to press into my gifts and leave it all in His hands that He began to open the doors that you now see me going through."
Dru Bex has learned over recent years that when God wants something to happen, it will happen the way He wants it to. "When I came up with the concept for this album, it was speaking from experience."
"I wanted every song on this album to be about time."
"Gotta Go" is one of the singles released before the album and is "about the struggle when you have some things in your life that are constantly threatening to hold you back." Dru Bex says that when situations in life are preventing you from living the life that God wants for you, you have to leave them behind and go forward.
"I illustrate a struggle with pornography… Its pretty much saying 'I know that I've gotta call my brother and say 'Hey, I need you right now before I fall into this trap.'"
He says that many people become quickly judgmental when they find out about other people's situations, especially their failures and shortcomings, but
"if you're not gonna pour into my positively, [if] you don't have a prayer for me, [if] you're not gonna help me and encourage me, I don't want to hear it."
Dru Bex worked with Roy Tosh and Phil J. on "Buzzer Beater," which is "just a fun track that I love to perform. The audience turns up." Regarding Roy Tosh's feature, Dru Bex "found out that he was actually an ex-basketball player and I was like, 'Yo, he's perfect for this.'"
He tells the story of how he met his wife in "Number." Dru Bex met his wife at age 20 while riding the local bus. "I was in mack mode. I was looking for a girl…" He had seen her on the bus a few times and one day "she asked me for the time and I asked her for her number." She told him that she couldn't give him her number because her mom didn't want boys calling the house. "She actually took my number and she ended up calling me."
When she called him, he felt bad, thinking it wasn't right to hit on girls on the bus. Dru Bex told her that he's a Christian. She said she wasn't "but she ended up liking that and eventually she got saved and the rest is history."
"Up at 1 a.m. / The Wait" speaks about depression and anxiety. During the recording process, Dru Bex shared the progress on the song with his wife. "She's had bouts of depressions, so she was like, 'I wonder if you would let me write the second verse?'"
After his wife did the second verse sharing her experiences, Dru Bex didn't want to leave the listener without encouragement.
"Here's the God factor in that situation saying you've gotta wait on God and pray."
Dru Bex says that when facing depression, a person needs to seek God as well as friends and family for help and support, "but at the same time don't feel ashamed if you end up having to take medication."
In God's Good Time concludes with "Closing Time" in which Dru Bex shares his opinions on Christian hip-hop, specifically "some up and coming artists that I was noticing have their priorities wrong." Dru Bex has noticed that certain artists in Christian hip-hop appear to be in the genre to boost themselves towards reaching the mainstream hip-hop market.
"I don't see anything wrong with going into the mainstream… the problem comes when you claim to be a Christian rapper… you're using the Christian platforms but the message that you have in your songs sounds nothing like Christ."
Dru Bex thinks this situation relates to the scripture passage where Jesus found that people had been using Jerusalem's temple as a marketplace and flipped over the tables (Matthew 21: 13-14).

Here's a macro shot I did a few days ago of a spider hanging out between a couple of bushes in my yard. I'm using a grayscale version in a montage that's going to be part of a series later on, but just for fun I mixed it up with some color filters in Photoforge 2 using the in-app Pop Cam pak (well worth the purchase). It's like having Hipstamatic effects you can apply at will to existing photos. I also used the forever-awesome Photojojo macro lens.
Thanks for taking a look – what do you think? Are spiders too creepy no matter what, or does some colorful editing add to their interest? Leave a comment!

A submolecular resequencer was a matter-conversion technology capable of altering an organic compound into a crystalline compound.
The multiphasic chamber constructed by the crew of the USS Equinox in 2376 contained a submolecular resequencer and a polaron grid, for use in converting the remains of nucleogenic lifeforms into a source of power with which to augment their warp engines. (VOY: "Equinox")

Math::MatrixReal has good documentation and a very good interface. It's intuitive to use and uses algorithms that generally have a low complexity.
Albeit I rate the module to five points in docs, interface, and ease of use, it's getting only four "overall" because, it just doesn't live up to the mightily complicated PDL in terms of speed. (Of course, the authors never claimed it did anywhere close to the same things.)
In conclusion, Math::MatrixReal is great if you're dealing with smallish matrices, but IMO won't cut the mustard in terms of memory efficiency and speed. It's pure-Perl after all.

Sirona gave me a voucher to try out Graze boxes and the free sample arrived yesterday while I was at work. It looks very impressive. For anyone who doesn't know about graze boxes, they're boxes of little packs of healthy snacks. You choose all the different things you like, and each week they send you a box. I'm probably more excited by mine than anyone really should be about boxes of seeds and nuts but still. Continue reading

23 July 2011 – Exercise can be expensive
We had to go to town this morning to get a new tv/DVD combo for the gym because the DVD in the old one died, probably because I overworked it! Most day I use it at some point for exercise DVDs and have been since we got the tv. As the tv part still works CJ is clearing the rubbish dump that is his room so that he can have it. We then have to take the old tv from his room (which is the size of a fridge freezer and weighs about the same as a car) to the dump. Continue reading
8 July 2011 – rainy days
I love Fridays! Went out for a gossip with the girls after work yesterday which was nice. We popped in to Jo Daflos which was one of my old haunts when I worked at Dream Factory. It felt a bit odd to be there without all the old faces and a bit sad as it is next door to the old office which is now closed. Continue reading
2 July 2011 – veg and smoothies
This morning I was stuck outside while Commando jet washed the decking so I made the most of it by gardening. On the veg patch little baby tomatoes were forming, radishes coming up and the first cabbages and cauliflower were ready to cut. I also cut some corriander seeds to dry and picked a load more peas. The slugs have managed to use overhanging leaves to jump over the copper tape and get in amongst the veg so there was a chopping back and slug picking session. I know I could use slug pellets but I don't like killing things, even slugs. It may sound silly but my Buddhist persuasion will not let me do it. I picked them all off and put them elsewhere in the garden where they can't do so much damage. I have a sneaking suspicion they will find their way back. I swear I have homing slugs. Continue reading
15 July 2011 – Hangover
Well yesterday was pretty dire at work. I had a day of horrible calls. Problems I couldn't solve and couldn't find out how to solve, difficult customers and generally horrible calls. I had two really bad debt calls where customers basically refused every possible option offered and kicked off big time. Some people pay nothing for over a year and then think if they shout enough we will let them off. I also had a customer who called me. C**t, I didn't even put the phone down on him straight away but he really did upset me and I ended up crying after I finally did hang up. Luckily my boss was sitting right behind me at the time and was very supportive. I almost walked out and went home. I do sometimes wonder how I manage to keep going back for more. I did stay away from the chocolate bars in the canteen though! Continue reading
14 July 2015 – Moving
When I went into the gym to do some pump it up before the walk to work Commando's new bike was in the way. Before I could exercise I had to move it. He has a whole gym and he put it upside down in front of the mirrors where I exercise. Men! Continue reading

Google's design mantra has always been inclined towards being minimalist. Everything they create has a clean, minimalist interface, may it be an online product or desktop software. The same principle is followed in Google Chrome's user interface.
The right-click context menu in Google Chrome is as clean as it gets – very few options equals less clutter. However, many people who moved from Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox to Chrome, miss the simple option to set any image they see as a desktop wallpaper. So here are two ways you can enable this feature in Google Chrome.
Option 1: Use The IE Tab Chrome Extension:
The IE Tab extension uses Internet Explorer to display web pages in a Chrome tab. This extension is mainly aimed at sites which can only be displayed properly using IE – with this extension you can now see those sites without leaving Chrome.
The other advantage of using this extension? It enables the Internet Explorer right-click menu inside Google Chrome. So, if you are viewing an image that you would like to set as a wallpaper open the website in IE Tab, and voilà you can right click to set the image as a wallpaper inside Google Chrome.
Just click on the IE tab button in the extensions menu and the current tab would be opened in the IE tab.
It also allows you to define a list of sites that you would like to always open in IE. So if you visit a wallpaper site regularly to change wallpapers, just add that site to the list in IE Tab extension options.
Option 2: Set Image As Wallpaper Extension: (Update – Extension is no longer available)
You can use the above-mentioned extension to set the wallpaper.
Now, this extension is geared towards enabling the "Set as wallpaper" feature in Chrome. So it has a few specialized options for setting wallpapers via Chrome.
The good part about this extension is that it only shows "Set Image as Wallpaper" option when we right-click on an image, rest of the time it is not even visible – so it keeps the context menu clean as usual.
The other cool feature of this extension is that it allows us to select whether we need to keep the wallpaper at center or select the option of tiling or stretching it.
Set as wallpaper Extension Features:
- HTML5 previewer that shows your wallpaper in exact proportions.
- Context Menu that hooks up any image on the web, to set it as wallpaper.
- STRETCH, CENTER, TILE options available.
Get Set as wallpaper Extension for Google Chrome.
So you can choose any of the 2 methods shown above to add "Set Image As Wallpaper" option to Google Chrome Right-Click menu.
Which one you choose totally depends on your requirements and liking, we recommend either one.
Don't forget to check out some cool Google Chrome Themes in our Gallery.

First I will tell you that I'm NOT 100% raw, so please don't be scared that I'm going to get all preachy on you. I will, however, try to pass on as much information as I can about what it's like to live a RAW food lifestyle. I learned about RAW foods about 5 years ago while living in New York City. A friend took me to Pure Food and Wine (still one of my favorite RAW food restaurants). They for one have the best white sangria I've ever tasted.. healthy or not. I had a magnificient meal, empanadas which were to die for. As they explained the philosophy I found myself super curious. I dabbled here and there with eating RAW. Then finally made the leap into eating 75% RAW just a year ago. Last fall, I decided I didn't just want to eat RAW, I wanted to teach others how to take care of themselves and to show them it wasn't all carrot sticks and celery. I attended the Living Light Culinary Art Institute and am now a Gourmet RAW Food Chef and a Certified RAW food Instructor. I teach RAW food classes in the LA, Santa Monica and Venice, CA area and am also developing a television show which will incorporate the RAW lifestyle. Please visit my website ExperienceRAW.com… it will be up in a couple weeks! Take a chance, try it out, come visit and I will make you the best RAW food you've ever tasted. My friends can vouch. If you have a sweettooth, don't worry, so do I. I'll make you a to die for Key Lime Pie, Brownies, Cookies, Caramel and Chocolate Pudding — all RAW. Experience the healthy eating movement.

One form of reckless driving that can be particularly dangerous is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Alcohol and drugs have negative effects in our bodies that may affect the way we drive. These negative effects can even lead to car accidents that do not just affect us, but also the others around us.
According to the website of a Tucson car accident attorney, drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs may be held liable for their negligence, because of the danger they put on the road.
Being under the influence, a driver's comprehension skills drop, meaning he cannot easily understand traffic signs or make rational decisions. Accidents involving lack of comprehension include traffic light violations, right of way issues, and rear-end collisions.
Alcohol and drugs have the tendency to make the driver lose focus and become drowsy. When a driver has reduced concentration, he may be involved in a variety of traffic accidents, like falling asleep while on the road resulting into a crash or rear-ending the vehicle in front of him because of his lack of attention.
Too much alcohol and drugs can affect hand-eye-foot coordination, which is an important aspect of driving. If the driver's bodily functions do not coordinate effectively, he may be prone to a car accident. Collisions involving poor coordination include swerving or rolling over embankments, crashing into trees, veering into the opposite lanes, and colliding head-on with oncoming vehicles.
Reaction Time
Alcohol and drugs can also affect a person's reflexes. Being able to react swiftly is an important part of safe driving, and that part is taken away more and more as alcohol and drugs kick in. A driver that is under the influence will most likely fail to adjust to unexpected circumstances on the road, especially circumstances that may have also occurred because of his comprehension, concentration, and coordination issues.
Vision is obviously one of the integral functions you need in order to drive safely. If a driver has some kind of vision impairment because of alcohol and drugs, he may be very vulnerable to car crashes. These impairments include altered reality, blurred sight, and slow eye movement. Having even just one of these impairments is enough for the driver to have comprehension, concentration, coordination, and reaction time issues.
Remember that you are not the only one on the road. If you are driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, consider the fact that you are also putting the innocent motorists around you in danger.

A bass player, or bassist is a musician who plays a bass instrument such as a double bass, bass guitar, keyboard bass or a low brass instrument such as a tuba or sousaphone. Different musical genres tend to be associated with one or more of these instruments. Since the 1960s, the electric bass is the standard bass instrument for rock and roll, jazz fusion (and occasionally other forms of jazz), heavy metal, country, reggae and pop music. The double bass is the standard bass instrument for classical music, bluegrass, and Swing-era and Bebop-era jazz. Low brass instruments such as the tuba or sousaphone are the standard bass instrument in Dixieland and New Orleans-style jazz bands.
Despite the associations of different bass instruments with certain genres, there are exceptions. Some 1990s and 2000s rock and pop bands use a double bass, such as Barenaked Ladies; Indie band The Decemberists; and punk rock/psychobilly groups such as The Living End, Nekromantix, The Horrorpops, and Tiger Army. Some fusion jazz groups use a lightweight, stripped-down electric upright bass rather than a double bass. Some composers of modern art music use the electric bass in a chamber music setting. Some jazz big bands use electric bass. Some fusion, R&B and house music groups use synth bass or keyboard bass rather than electric bass. Some Dixieland bands use double bass or electric bass instead of a tuba. In some jazz groups and jam bands, the basslines are played by a Hammond organ player, who uses the bass pedal keyboard or the lower manual for the low notes.
Electric bassists play the bass guitar. In most rock, pop, metal and country genres, the bass line outlines the harmony of the music being performed, while simultaneously indicating the rhythmic pulse. In addition, there are different standard bass line types for different genres and types of song (e.g. blues ballad, fast swing, etc.). Bass lines often emphasize the root, third, and fifth of the chord progression being used in a given song. In addition, pedal tones (repeated or sustained single notes), ostinatos, and bass riffs are also used as bass lines. While most electric bass players rarely play chords (two or more notes all sounded at the same time), chords are used in some styles, especially jazz fusion, progressive rock or technical death metal.

Happy Friday- here's today's weather forecast.
Sadly, the Met Office say it will feel 'colder than of late' today (May 3) with cloud, showers and light winds.
But it will 'probably become brighter' later with temperatures rising as high as a pleasant 12C.
How is the Bank Holiday looking? It will be cold with sunshine and showers on Saturday, with the cold accentuated by strong winds.
Becoming drier and less windy from Sunday, although probably cloudier into Monday, with widespread overnight frosts returning.

Gladstone Park is one of Brent's finest open spaces, contains Dollis Hill House, the place of great cultural importance, visited by Britain's prime minister Gladstone and American writer Mark Twain.
A Very Liberal House
On Dollis Hill, just below the crest of Neasden stands a now dilapidated mansion overlooking the magnificent sweep of Gladstone Park. It has been there for almost two hundred years and for much of that time it has been in and out of the news - more recently for rather sad reasons. This is Dollis Hill House, built for the Finch family in 1825. If it is more interesting for its history than for its architectural style, it is still one of the few grand buildings left in Brent - or would be if it were restored to its past glory, following two disastrous arson attacks in the late 1990s.
In a magazine article of 1822, the writer described his walk through Willesden: "On Dollar's (sic) Hill, is Mr Finch's Farm, which as an object from the valley below has a pleasing effect, with a view from the top as far as Leith Hill in Surrey". Within a few years, this view was seen from the windows of Mr Finch's new house. Soon after, as these things went, it passed to Lord Tweedmouth, who as a senior member of the Liberal Party, began the political connection that lasted until the end of the nineteenth century.
Gladstone at Dollis Hill
A little later - Victoria was now on the throne - it was bought by Lord Aberdeen and it was his son who took over the house, in 1882, with his wife Lady Ishbel. They made it the place for Liberal politicians, especially William Ewart Gladstone (1809 - 1898, statesman and four-time prime minister of Great Britain (1868-74, 1880-85, 1886, 1892-94), to stay and rest from the endeavours of Parliamentary life down at Westminster. The great Liberal leader was by this time in his seventies, but a marvel of physical and mental vigour, as a supporter described him. He was able to use Dollis Hill House as a quiet retreat, near to Downing Street, thanks to the Aberdeens. His bedroom was on the first floor at the east end of the house, looking towards Hampstead and he worked, for the most part, on his Government papers in the library which was immediately below. In the clement weather, much of his time was spent outdoors, with meals taken on the verandah (later obscured by an unsightly addition to the house). Often, there would be a gathering of politicians under the trees, some of which still frame the patio area.
Trees were one of Gladstone's obsessions. Legend has it that he cut them down, in the fashion of George Washington, but the truth is that he planted many - some at Dollis Hill, including a pine tree and a fir - though I cannot vouch for them still being there. In 1887, the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria was celebrated throughout the country and across the then British Empire, but the leaders of the Colonies came to London to join in the festivities. Gladstone invited them up the house at Neasden and there is a picture of him, resplendent in a Derby bowler hat, with four of his colleagues, on the lawn.
Others who received the invitation to call included Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Rosebery, Lord Randolph Churchill (father of Winston), the then Archbishop of Canterbury and many other men of eminence (the only woman who seems to be involved was none other than the Premier's wife - such was the political correctness of the time).
Lord Aberdeen was appointed Lord Lieutenant for Ireland for a short period in the 1880s - and this brought him into even closer contact with Gladstone whose most difficult task was trying to bring about Home Rule for Ireland. When he was made Governor General of Canada in 1897, he gave up Dollis Hill House and it was leased to Sir Hugh Gilzean Reid.
Mark Twain
In 1900, Reid invited the famous humorist, Mark Twain, to stay with him. The writer, who was famous for his perceptive comments on the places he visited (read his Innocents Abroad, for instance), spoke of the delight he had in living there. "He had," he said, "never seen any place that was so satisfactorily situated, with its noble trees and stretch of country, and everything that went to make life delightful, and all within a biscuit's throw of the metropolis of the world".
Willesden Council Makes Gladstone Park
Maybe these comments inspired Willesden council to persist in their plan to buy the House and, especially, its grounds as a public park. In any event, in February 1900, the transaction was completed - at a cost of over £51,000 and, in honour of the recently deceased statesman, it was named Gladstone Park.
After that, in public ownership, the house became a tea-room and during the first World War was a hospital for wounded soldiers and after the war remained in use as a convalescent home. The Council then tried to realise its potential and it became "The Country House Restaurant".
Once Brent took over it was also used as a training centre for catering students from Kilburn Polytechnic; the local Rotary Club met there regularly. And it obtained Grade II listed status, in 1974. The stables became the Stables Art Gallery, a successful venture by devoted local painters and craftsmen and women.
The Decline
In the 1990s it started to go downhill. Brent Council could not make up its mind what to do with it. Arsonists tried to help by burning it - twice! It now stands, a miserable wreck of its former self awaiting a decision: to restore it as a commercial restaurant - or pull it down and replace it with a park cafeteria. Local residents, up in arms, are trying a third option: to raise funds to restore it and then turn it into a community centre. It would be a shame if a building - albeit damaged - with such historical connections were to disappear. But is there a Fairy Godmother out there who could help with the money?

Saints Offense Comes Alive in 11-4 Hammering of PheasantsST. PAUL, MN May 23, 2012
Saints Offense Comes Alive in 11-4 Hammering of Pheasants
May 23, 2012 at 9:50 PM
SIOUX FALLS, SD (May 23, 2012) – This was the offense manager George Tsamis was waiting for when he was putting together his team in the off-season. The St. Paul Saints pounded out 14 hits, scored seven runs in the third and cruised to an 11-4 victory over the Sioux Falls Pheasants on Wednesday night at Sioux Falls Stadium.
The Saints scored at least a run in each of the first three innings and after Willie Cabrera's double play ground out scored a run in the first, Ole Sheldon delivered his first home run of the season, a solo shot to left, giving the Saints a 2-0 lead. Sheldon's homer was the 41st of his Saints career tying him with Brent Krause for second on the all-time list.
With the Saints up 3-1 in the third they sent 12 men to the plate and scored seven runs, six with two outs. With one out Cabrera was hit by a pitch, stole second and scored on a single by Sheldon. With two outs Tanner Townsend singled and Jose Hernandez followed with an RBI single to make it 5-0. Alex Garabedian and Adam Frost added RBI singles to make it 7-0. Jim Rapoport finished the scoring in the inning with a three-run homer to right, his first of the season, giving the Saints a 10-1 lead.
That was all Saints starter Wes Roemer needed as he turned in another superb pitching performance going 7.0 innings allowing three runs (one earned) on seven hits while walking two and striking out four.
Jake Krause, pinch hitting in the sixth inning, hit his first professional home run to left, to finish off the scoring for the Saints.
Eight of the nine Saints starters collected a hit, 11 of the 12 players who got into the game reached base safely and five different players collected two hits.
The same two teams meet in the finale of the three game series on Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. at Sioux Falls Stadium. The Saints send RHP Alberto Rolon (0-0, 162.00) to the mound against LHP Mitchell Clegg (NR). The game can be heard on Club 1220 KLBB.

Here is my analysis of Francesca Lia Block's novel Weetzie Bat. This is an excerpt of an assignment I completed for my Books & Materials for Young Adults class.
Caveat Lector: SPOILER ALERT!
Weetzie Bat Analysis
Francesca Lia Block styled her novel Weetzie Bat in the form of an urban fairy tale, but the challenges her teen protagonists face are very real. Weetzie's traditional family is broken, but she takes action to create a nontraditional family that can withstand the shocks and jolts of life. In spite of the playful language, funny names and magical setting, Block explores a number of thorny issues, including divorce, substance abuse and death. Nonetheless, Weetzie and her friends face these challenges with the stoic bravery of fairy tale heroes and fight for their happy ending.
Block's novel tells the story of Weetzie Bat, her friend Dirk, his significant other Duck, and Weetzie's significant other My Secret Agent Lover Man. The novel begins with friends Weetzie and Dirk, who want happy, lasting relationships but seem to be dating all the wrong boys. Dirk's grandmother Fifi gives Weetzie a golden lamp that happens to contain a genie (1998, 17-18). Weetzie wishes for a Duck for Dirk, My Secret Agent Lover Man for herself, and a house in which they can live happily ever after (19). One by one, Weetzie's wishes begin to come true. Dirk falls in love with a man named Duck (22), Weetzie falls in love with a man named My Secret Agent Lover Man (26), and Fifi dies and leaves her house to Dirk and Weetzie (20). They all move in together, but everyone does not live happily ever, at least not immediately. Weetzie wants a baby, but My Secret Agent Lover Man does not (33). Weetzie, Dirk and Duck decide to have a baby together, but when My Secret Agent Lover Man finds out Weetzie is pregnant, he gets angry and leaves (38). My Secret Agent Lover Man comes back after the baby is born, but Weetzie's nontraditional family faces a series of other crises: a witch's curse, a witch baby, Weetzie's father's death, and Duck's disappearance. By the end of the book, the witch's curse is broken, the witch baby is integrated into the family, and Duck is found again. Block implies that this family may not live happily ever after, but that they can choose to live happily, nonetheless.
The plot and style of Block's novel present the story in the form of a fairy tale. The characters face a series of challenges and conflicts that become steadily more difficult to manage, some of which are magical and some of which are realistic. Nilsen and Donelson categorize Weetzie Bat as a realistic spoof (2009, 24), while Block describes her books as "urban fairy tales" (2009, 82). The magical elements of the story, the genie (1998, 18) and the witch's curse (43), provide a lens of whimsy and fantasy through which to view real problems. Finding and maintaining healthy relationships, finding a place to live, coping with the death of caregivers, and coping with the repercussions of infidelity all represent real problems that young adults face. The adults are largely absent from the plot, leaving the young adults to struggle through these challenges with only their friends for support. Weetzie's father Charlie and Dirk's grandmother Fifi make brief appearances, like fairy godparents, to leave the youth a house or drop a word of advice. Block does not allow her characters to dwell on the deaths of Fifi and Charles for long, but keeps the action of the story moving at a steady clip. This stylistic feature reflects the perspective of many young adults, who live in the now and maintain a forward-looking focus. Ultimately, Weetzie and her friends must make their own choices and be the architects of their own happiness.
Weetzie's story unfolds in the integral setting of Los Angeles, with punk culture and Hollywood lending a surreal and magical element to the atmosphere. Weetzie finds L.A. and Venice exciting, colorful and larger than life, which supports the fairy tale atmosphere of the story. She hated high school because none of her peers seemed to appreciate the magic of L.A., except for Dirk (3). To Weetzie, the fantasy land of L.A. seems like an ideal place to build her fantasy family. But Charlie cannot embrace the fantasy of L.A., because it reminds him of Weetzie's mother, Brandy-Lynn. Charlie says that everything in L.A. is "illusion, imitation, a mirage. Pagodas and palaces and skies, blondes and stars… It's like having a good dream. You know you are going to wake up" (58). Weetzie and Charlie's different perceptions of L.A. highlight the idealism of teens and the jaded pragmatism of adults. Weetzie and her friends learn that darkness sometimes lurks beneath the brightly-colored façade of life, but Weetzie accepts the darkness with the light and does not allow herself to feel cheated by appearances.
As is typical in young adult literature, the primary protagonists are all young adults, although we are never given definite ages. Weetzie and Dirk are in high school at the opening of the book (3), but Block does not clearly state how much time passes in the course of the story. This detail also supports the dreamlike, fairy tale quality of the story. Weetzie makes her own clothes, and Dirk and Weetzie both experiment with outfits, accessories and make-up (4-5) because they are still trying to invent themselves. Duck is "a small, blonde surfer" with freckles on his nose, and Duck and Dirk fall in love at first sight (22). Duck's character is less developed at the beginning of the story: Block only explains that he goes to the beach everyday, and sometimes sleeps at the beach in order to catch the "most radical waves" at dawn (22). However, Duck's character is revealed more at the end of the story when Duck runs away. Duck is frightened by his friend's illness (63) and tries to hide from his fear among the distractions of the San Francisco club scene (67). But Dirk finds Duck and helps him recommit to life despite his fear (67-69). My Secret Agent Lover Man wears "a slouchy hat and a trench coat" (27), and makes movies like Weetzie's father. Weetzie's love for her father is mirrored in her love for My Secret Agent Lover Man. Weetzie's parents are supporting characters who actually provide very little support or guidance in Weetzie's life. Charlie and Brandy-Lynn have been broken by their relationship, and they serve as foils for Weetzie and My Secret Agent Lover Man, and for Dirk and Duck. Weetzie and her friends refuse to give up on their love for each other.
Weetzie Bat is written in a romantic mode, with instances of irony and comedy thrown into the mix. Protagonists Weetzie and Dirk must run the gauntlet of looking for love in L.A.'s punk scene, but divine intervention in the form of a genie rewards their efforts with true love. Yet, while traditional romances ended with the hero finding true love, Block's characters find love early in the story and must struggle to hold onto it. Weetzie and her friends support each other through relationship problems, grief and fear of death, and their compassion and loyalty helps them hold their unique family together. Elements of comedy include Weetzie's reaction to the genie (18) and the rubber chicken incident (6). Irony is embodied in the character of Weetzie's mother, who is incapable of fulfilling her parental role and must instead be mothered by Weetzie (61). Brandy-Lynn and Charlie love each other, but they seem unable or unwilling to make their relationship work. But irony cannot suppress the power of love in this story. According to the romantic model, Weetzie and her friends are rewarded with happiness and love at the end of the story.
Block's tone evidences sincere affection for her characters and a desire for them to be happy and hopeful. Block's use of unusual names for her characters and their pets contributes to the sense of humor and whimsy in the story. Her characters are unlike any characters in any other book, and their names reflect their unique identities. Weetzie and her friends face serious difficulties in the course of the story, including divorce, death, infidelity, substance abuse, and sexually transmitted diseases. Yet Block arms her characters with unquenchable optimism, and demonstrates that life can go on in spite of tragedy if the characters hold fast to their loved ones.
The primary themes in Weetzie Bat include families and empowering the disenfranchised, with secondary themes of substance abuse and death. Weetzie dresses in a feathered headdress and fringed clothing, explaining that she empathizes with the plight of the Native Americans (4). As a young adult, Weetzie identifies with the Native Americans because of their disenfranchisement. Teens do not possess the power and respect that adults command, although Weetzie seems mostly unfettered by her parents and left to her own devices. At least, Block provides no evidence that Weetzie's parents try to stop her from drinking and sleeping around. Weetzie wishes that her parents' romance had lasted (14), and feels powerless to reunite her broken family. Therefore, Weetzie tries to take command of her happiness by making her magic wishes for true love, a home and a happily ever after (19). While her parents wallow in passive regret, Weetzie rejects feelings of powerlessness and takes an active role in building a happy family for herself.
Weetzie comes from a broken family with divorced parents, and Dirk's parents are dead before the story begins. Dirk lives with his grandmother, Fifi, who also dies early in the story (20). Weetzie's mother is emotionally absent, and while Weetzie's father is emotionally invested in Weetzie, he lives on the opposite coast in New York City (15). When Charlie dies of a drug overdose (59), Weetzie loses the parent who had the most positive influence on her life. Weetzie and Dirk seek to create their own family, which, though nontraditional, appears to succeed where Weetzie's traditional family has failed. When Weetzie, Dirk and Duck decide to have a baby together, they plan to love the baby "more than any of their parents had ever loved them" (35). Charlie admits that Weetzie was an accident (14). Weetzie and her friends set out to prove that families that are made and nurtured with love and care can be successful, no matter what the components of that family may be. The recurring movie making motif underlines the way in which Weetzie and her friends begin by role-playing in life, trying to find happiness by assuming roles in a reinvented family.
The theme of the destructive nature of substance abuse is played out in the lives of Weetzie's parents. Brandy-Lynn criticizes Charlie for abusing substances while she downs cocktails and says she needs a Valium (15). The irony of Brandy-Lynn's behavior implies that some adults do not behave in a logical manner, and their interpretation of reality is skewed. Block frequently uses the word "fake" to describe elements of Brandy-Lynn's appearance. When Charlie first saw her, she had bleach-blonde hair and was "sparkling with fake jewels" (14). She wears mules with "fake fruit over the toes" (14) and paints her fingernails (15, 58). These details reinforce the perception that some adults, especially substance abusers, are not trustworthy.
The lives of Weetzie and her friends are touched repeatedly by death, yet the characters remain remarkably untouched by death at the same time. Dirk's grandmother Fifi dies (20), but she leaves Dirk and Weetzie her house, allowing them to start building a family. Charlie dies of a drug overdose, but Weetzie's friends support her in her grief (59). Weetzie responds by trying to mother her mother, and Weetzie and her friends dedicate their latest movie to her father's memory (61). Duck is frightened by his friend's illness, presumably AIDS, and runs away (63). But Dirk finds him and refuses to let him hide from life or death. Weetzie and her friends manage to find a happy ending because they respond to each visitation of death by embracing and celebrating life.
Although some literary critics might identify homosexuality as a theme because of Dirk and Duck's relationship, I believe that Block treats homosexuality as a nonissue. Other than Dirk's initial hesitance to tell Weetzie he is gay (7), the characters do not appear to worry about or struggle with the notion of homosexuality. Weetzie says Dirk's sexual orientation "doesn't matter one bit" (7). Block does not mention any instances in which Duck or Dirk are persecuted for their orientation. Homosexual relationships are simply represented as another kind of love, no greater or lesser than heterosexual relationships.
Weetzie Bat is told from a third-person point of view, but not an omniscient point of view. The point of view primarily follows Weetzie's actions, and the reader is granted access to her thoughts. When Duck runs away, the point of view shifts briefly to follow Dirk's thoughts and actions, although maintaining the distance of a third-person perspective. When Dirk and Duck return home, the point of view returns to focus on Weetzie. This perspective reinforces that Block is telling Weetzie's story, but Weetzie's family is not whole unless Dirk, Duck, My Secret Agent Lover Man, Cherokee, Witch Baby, and all the dogs are present and accounted for. Weetzie Bat is about how Weetzie rejected her powerless role and fought for and won her happy family.

Update: Paragon Still Working on Drillship Removal from Corpus Christi Port
Despite refloating attempts undertaken on Monday, Paragon Offshore's grounded drillship continues blocking the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas in the Hurricane Harvey aftermath, keeping the port closed to vessel traffic.
"Until that vessel is moved no deep-draft vessels will be moving in the ship channel," the United States Coast Guard said commenting on the ongoing situation.
Namely, the Paragon DPDS1 broke loose of its moorings during Hurricane Harvey's landfall while in safe harbor at Port Aransas.
"The ship, which had drifted into the channel and grounded on the northern side of the channel near the entrance to the port, was refloated by the tide late Monday evening and drifted across the channel the southern side of the channel where it again ran aground. The ship is upright and we believe its condition is stable," Paragon said in an update.
"We do not know of any injury, loss of life, or damage to the environment resulting from the breakaway," the firm stressed earlier.
Since the incident, a tug boat has been stationed to monitor the ship on a continuous basis. T&T Salvage is on site and pressure is coming from the Coast Guard to get it removed.
The rig has been lighted to ensure that any contact by vessels in the channel can be avoided, according to the vessel's owner.
"Paragon and its service providers conducted a survey today (August 29) of the vessel's condition and will present a removal plan as soon as possible to the US Coast Guard that takes into account the condition of the channel, the condition of the vessel, public safety, and the environment."
Paragon insisted that no one tries to approach the vessel or board it without advance clearance from the company and the local authorities.
"A team of highly qualified people is working diligently on the response, and they will provide the safest approach to controlling the vessel after the storm has passed," the company pointed out.
As of August 24, port condition ZULU was set for the entire Captain of the Port (COTP) area of responsibility due to the impact of the hurricane, which remains in effect with exception of Port of Brownsville.
This means that no vessel movements are permitted without specific permission of the Captain of the Port, which is being granted on a case-by-case basis before movements are allowed.
The coast guard said that a proposal would be made for the Port Condition ZULU to be modified in the Port of Corpus Christi to permit barges of less than 20′ draft to move within the inner harbor without needing specific permission. The decision on the approval is yet to be announced.
Furthermore, the USCG said that any facility that intends to receive deep-draft vessels at their dock must verify that a dock sounding survey has been accomplished and they are ready to receive ships.
Based on the surveys conducted on Tuesday by US Army Corps of Engineers, there have been no major issues reported.
"The surveys of the Inner Harbor are finished, and most of the surrounding waterways should be finished except for the Bay Channel. Conditions are still moderating and that should be finished tomorrow, if not by later today," the Corps of Engineers said.
Aransas-Corpus Christi Pilots informed that following a survey of the entire channel, there were no significant impediments that would prevent ship movements.
The port authority said on Tuesday its personnel is continuing to assess hurricane impacts with assessments indicating light to moderate damage and debris.
"The Port of Corpus Christi continues coordinating with the US Army Corps of Engineers and the US Coast Guard to expedite hydrographic channel surveys. Until such time, the USCG maintains Condition Zulu for all Port Corpus Christi channels including the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and La Quinta Ship Channel. As the weather continues improving in our area, it is facilitating the conclusion of the channel survey operations that will dictate the date for the channels to be open," the update from the port reads.
The port authority noted it continues working toward achieving normal business operations by September 4th.

Hi loves! How are you doing? Today is a special day here. You might have heard about the plane take was taken down last week above Ukraine. In that plane were 193 Dutch people, they all died a terrible death and today the bodies will arrive home for identification and proper burial. I can't even imagine how many families, friends, coworkers all have lost someone in their lives. It hasn't affected me personally but so many people were taken from us, and so it's a national day of mourning. I want to express my deepest sympathy to those affected by this terrible incident and hope they can find some kind of peace in getting their beloved ones back today.
For this look I started with a base of Bondi Blue Skies, after it dried I used MoYou London Pro XL 06 and Mundo de Uñas Iris to stamp. Somehow I kinda stretched the image on a few nails? But I don't know how, lol.. it wasn't my intention! It still looks good I think and I really liked this image. Slightly abstract but still a lovely floral pattern. I love floral stamping!
What do you think of this look? And have you ever stretched an image while stamping? Tell me in the comments!

The SPACE matrix assesses a business along four dimensions to find an appropriate strategic thrust and in this article, we'll look at the SPACE factors for competitive advantage.
Competitive Advantage In The SPACE Matrix
According to the creators of the Strategic Position and Action Evaluation Matrix, (Strategic Management – A Methodical Approach", Rowe, Mason, Dickel, Mann and Mockler. Published by Addison Wesley) the following items should be considered when assessing Competitive Advantage:
- Market share (small to large)
- Product quality (inferior to superior)
- Product life cycle (late to early)
- Product replacement cycle (variable to fixed)
- Customer loyalty (low to high)
- Competition's capacity utilisation (low to high)
- Technological know-how (low to high)
- Vertical integration (low to high)
- Speed of new product introductions (slow to fast)
Each variable within the competitive advantage dimension of SPACE is assessed from 1 to 6 with high scores good, low scores bad.
Interpreting Competitive Advantage In The SPACE Matrix To Your Situation
While the list of potential sources of competitive advantage is interesting, this dimension more than any other in the SPACE matrix needs to be adapted to your business sector.
The competitive advantage matrix shows that even market share isn't necessarily a strong cause of advantage in some situations.
For more general sources of competitive advantage (or disadvantage) I'd look to the PIMS database and Porter's generic strategies.
However to best assess competitive advantage to use in the SPACE matrix, you need to look in detail at your business, your customers and competitors to see who is providing the best customer value.
The following strategy techniques will help:
This may mean that using SPACE analysis at different stages of your strategic planning work will generate different conclusions as you better get to understand the sources of competitive advantage.
The Impact On Strategic Direction For Different Levels Of Competitive Advantage
The competitive advantage rating will either reinforce or counteract the rating for industry attractiveness as they are on the same axis in the SPACE matrix.
A strong rating on the Industry Attractiveness / Competitive Advantage axis points to an aggressive strategy or a competitive strategy.
A weak rating indicates that a Conservative strategy or defensive strategy is appropriate.

Arlene Russell, Breeyawn Lybbert (University of California – Los Angeles, USA)
Not uncommonly, CPR users have assumed that their students' writing skills would automatically improve when they implemented CPR assignments in their courses. Experience has shown, however, that whether this happens or not depends on the focus of the assignment the students are given. Students write what is asked for. If assignments focus only on content and reward facts to the exclusion of writing and reasoning, or if no guidance is given for writing, then students writing skills do not change. To address the need for scientists to have well-honed written communication skills, we have begun to frame our content-heavy assignments within different writing genres. This talk will discuss our efforts and assessment of assignments centered on letters, scientific reports, and critiques. The ability within CPR5 to upload documents that complement student texts facilitates the dual goals of assignments to teach chemistry and enhance communication.
