A. Yes. However you can do this only with single instance portlets, (portlets that can be added only once) such as Change Audit portlet.
If you add a single instance portlet again to the same view, the configurations are retained. However, if you add a multi-instance portlet (portlets that can be added more than once) such as RSS, IFrame the configuration settings cannot be restored. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
