Service Portal is a compelling alternative to the Content Management System (CMS) with a refined user experience. It does not duplicate CMS or platform UI functionality. Users who have sophisticated experiences delivered through CMS may need to invest time into transitioning to Service Portal, especially if the CMS implementation includes complex and customized Service Catalog forms.
ServiceNow continues to support CMS in current and upcoming releases. If you have existing CMS sites and activate Service Portal on your instance, your CMS sites will continue to work, as CMS and Service Portal are separate applications.
CMS uses iFrames which can be difficult to work with, limited in terms of styling, and susceptible to upgrade issues. Service Portal, on the other hand, is a self-contained application that accesses data from other tables on the platform. This enables fine-tuned control over style and responsive design.
Any scripts used in Service Portal can only use APIs supported in a mobile environment. For example, some APIs used in your Service Catalog client scripts may not be supported. For a list of supported APIs, see Service Portal and client scripts.
Service Portal forms support a maximum of two-columns. As a result, any highly customized Service Catalog forms, such as catalog items and record producers that use containers and variable sets, must be simplified to work in a two-column layout.
If transitioning to Service Portal, review the following resource: Mobile client GlideForm (g form) scripting and migration.
To understand how core CMS components are configured in Service Portal, refer to the following table.
Content types link a table to a content page.
In Service Portal, content types are no longer required. Record data is queried and displayed using base system widgets. You can add widgets to any number of Service Portal pages.
Learn more: Service Portal widgets.
In Service Portal, pages are made up of containers, rows, and columns.
A content block is a reusable piece of content.
In Service Portal, content blocks are replaced by widgets.
Service Catalog pages are rendered using the SC Catalog Item widget in Service Portal. For this reason, Service Catalog forms such as catalog items and record producers are shared between your CMS implementation and Service Portal. If you have a highly customized Service Catalog, you may need to invest time in simplifying your Service Catalog items and client scripts so that they render as expected in Service Portal.
Learn more: Service Catalog forms in Service Portal.
Service Portal comes with base system widgets to address common use cases and to display record data. Even though there is no direct migration path from CMS to Service Portal, there may be some items, such as catalog items or knowledge articles, that render as expected in Service Portal without any effort.
Refactor client scripts used in your CMS/Service Catalog to use supported mobile APIs and global objects. For a list of supported APIs, see Service Portal and client scripts.
Build widgets to replace UI Macros and other unsupported scripts. If using a UI Macro in a catalog item form and referencing values on the form, you can use the following workaround instead: Replace a Service Catalog form script with a widget.
Simplify any complex forms used in your Service Catalog to fit the Service Portal two-column form layout.
Consider which release supports the required functionality. You may want to upgrade your instance before transitioning to ensure that you have the required base system features.
Service Catalog forms are rendered within Service Portal widgets in a two-column layout. Complex forms may not display as expected.
You can use widgets in Service Portal to replace UI Macros. If your Service Catalog form includes a UI Macro that references other fields or variables on the form, you can create a widget to hold reusable code and embed it within the Service Catalog form. Use special syntax to access any variable fields on the form.


A £20,000 reward is being offered as police continue to appeal for information following the murder of Mohamed Kakay in Camberwell two years ago.
Officers returned to the scene of the murder, Camberwell Church Street, between 8am and 10am on Saturday – two years after Mohamed's death.
They handed out appeal leaflets and talked to local people as they made a fresh appeal for witnesses and information about the murder.
Mohamed, pictured, was stabbed inside the gardens at the back of St Giles' Church before staggering to the front of the church and collapsing in Camberwell Church Street, SE5 at around 9am on November 19, 2016.
He died from his injury in hospital later that afternoon – days before his 34th birthday. It is believed he was attacked by two suspects. To date, six people have been arrested as part of the investigation – all were later released with no further action.
The investigation into his murder is being led by the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command.
A £20,000 reward for information is now being offered to anyone who provides information that leads to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Mohamed's murder.
Detective Inspector Tom Dahri, leading the investigation, said: "Two years have passed but we remain as committed as ever to finding out who committed this murder.
We believe that Mohamed had spent the night at a flat in Wilson Road. In the morning he walked down Wilson Road with two suspects before he entered the gardens at the rear of St Giles Church where he was stabbed seconds later.
"The two suspects then made off through the gardens, down a side alleyway leading to the front of St Giles Church and then cut through the front of the church as the congregation were exiting before they turned back up Wilson Road.
Anyone with any information is urged to call the incident room on 020 8721 4961.


All EU member states will hold elections to the European Parliament between 23 and 26 May. Since the UK has now extended its membership of the EU beyond this date (and possibly until the end of October), these elections must also happen here on Thursday 23 May. The UK elects 73 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) by a proportional representation (PR) system, to represent 9 English regions, Scotland and Wales, and using the STV system in Northern Ireland. The Democratic Audit team explains how this election works, what will be on your ballot paper, and what we know so far about party prospects. In the run-up to the election we will preview the contests in your area in more detail.

Agartala, Feb 15: For the resurgent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the upcoming Assembly election in Tripura is the "battle royale" which the party is fighting to unseat the 25-year-old rule of the Left Front government in the state.
The elections for the 60-member Tripura Assembly are scheduled on February 18 (Sunday). The results of the polls will be out on March 3.
In order to defeat the incumbent Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M))-led Left Front government in the state under chief minister Manik Sarkar, the BJP is using all its best machinery and manpower.
A galaxy of star campaigners of the BJP, including PM Modi, BJP president Amit Shah, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Rajnath Singh and BJP MP Hema Malini, among others, had campaigned in Tripura in the last few days. Modi is once again going to campaign in the state on Thursday.
Despite an anti-incumbency wave and lack of development in the state, one thing that is coming in the way of BJP is the lack of a powerful local leader in its fold who could have challenged the might of four-time CM Sarkar.
Along with his popularity, the CPI (M) leader is loved across the state for his simplicity and honesty. Sarkar is India's poorest CM. His wealth stands at just Rs 3,930.
Recently, when Sarkar went to file his nomination papers to contest polls for the upcoming Tripura Assembly elections, the 69-year-old leader revealed that he has Rs 1,520 in hand and Rs 2,410 in his account in a nationalised bank.
Regarding his official salary as the CM of Tripura, the Left leader donates his entire salary to his party, the CPI-M. However, he gets Rs 5,000 from the CPI (M) as subsistence allowances. He has no cultivable or homestead land. He stays in the CM's official residence in the state capital, Agartala.
However, the BJP claims that Sarkar's image is a lie. In an interview to News18.com, BJP general secretary Ram Madhav said that the CPI (M) has assiduously built a false image, a facade of CM Sarkar, outside Tripura.
"In reality, he has run a 'hinsachaari' [violent], atyachaari [oppressive] and bhrashtachaari [corrupt], government in Tripura.
"Violent politics, oppressive, and largely corrupt administration is what people have experienced in Tripura in all these years. So we have made this as our poll pitch--we have promised to the people of freeing them of hinsachaari, atyachaari and bhrashtachaari government, and providing them with a government that is committed to peace and development," added Madhav.
During his recent visit to Tripura, Modi called for a change in the state. The PM without mincing any words directly targeted Sarkar. He added Tripura no longer needed "Manik" but wanted "hira" (highways, i-ways, roadways and airways).
In reply to all the allegations against him and his government, Sarkar on Tuesday stated that there was a concerted effort to assume power in the state by creating rifts in society and accused the Indigenous People's Front of Tripura (IPFT) (the BJP's poll partner) of maintaining clandestine links with terrorists.
"Separatist forces had tried to secede Tripura from the Indian Union in the past. The demand has now changed to a separate state," the veteran CPI (M) leader said.
"The BJP is creating disturbances throughout the nation. Four years back they came to power with promises of 'Acche Din' among others but kept none. Inflation is at all time high post-independence. While the petrol price is going down in the global market it is higher in India," Sarkar added.


Your card is an essential and potentially powerful tool in your business, if you use it correctly. Yuppie competition a la American Psycho isn't the game here. The game is networking. You need to utilize every opportunity available to spread the word about your business (especially in this economy), and that is what catchy cards are all about – telling people who you are and what your business does, and showing them how much cooler you are than your competitors.
Scott Ginsberg, author of The Power of Approachability, wrote an article for Business Know How about the importance of business cards and the basics of designing a great one. He suggests that measuring the effectiveness of your card can be done by stacking your card up against other business cards – does your card leave a lasting impression on the people who receive it?
Ginsberg also suggests that you try to incorporate a photo of yourself into your card. Cards with red on them, cards with black backgrounds, vertically oriented cards, and cards with large images on them also catch attention more than plain "ivory" business cards.
The third major tip Ginsberg offers includes several tips on how to make your card creatively unforgettable. He suggests thinking outside the box and using unique sizes, shapes, materials, languages, and multiple functions. Take a look at 51 business cards that will make you look twice for inspiration and ideas.
Ginsberg's fourth step to awesome business cards is implementation. He admits that card printing can be expensive, but it is money well spent. Only give your perfect card to people you have established rapport with, says Ginsberg. There's no point in wasting your money on nice cards only to give them to strangers who will only throw them away. All Graphic Design put together a compilation of the coolest business cards… ever!

What is an Holistic Spiritual worldview?
Take a risk
Think on This
Leave a Comment	/ Think on This / By Francis O'Neill
Francis O'Neill What is an Holistic Spiritual worldview?
Image courtesy: Pexels.com
As you probably know Holistic means the whole system or being. The word comes from the Greek holos. This is the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole.
Spiritual of course means spirit or soul, but I would also include awakening or consciousness.
Being combined is a reminder that we are all in this together.
By its nature this view covers a big area of belief from the ecological to the mind body and spirit, to the esoteric, to alternative, to new age.
It encompasses strands from many world religions. Notably Eastern (Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Zen Buddhist and Taoist) beliefs are, and have been, an influence on its development.
But then also the more esoteric traditions of the Abrahamic religions (such as in Kabbalah, Sufism, Christian Science) may be included, along with paganism and spiritualism. Psychic abilities, mediumship, the paranormal, NDE, ESP, UFOs, crop-circles, the Law of Attraction are all examples of topic areas of interest and study.
Other areas include the holistic arts, such as astrology, the tarot, numerology; and healing arts such as crystal healing, hypnotherapy, reiki, shiatsu, acupuncture, or homeopathy. It also draws on the findings of science (for instance in cosmology and quantum theory) and technologies that support an holistic worldview – as in ecological developments for wind, tidal and solar energy that help to improve the planet.
In other words this paradigm draws on an eclectic mix of sources, materials and practices, both ancient and modern.
Individualistic belief and consciousness
For the individual it offers a pick & mix approach to understanding and belief. This may sound messy, but with emancipation comes responsibility. A moral compass is developing out of it…
It allows each person to break free of convention (and indoctrination) that fails to include the holistic vision. People are making choices, deciding for themselves what they wish to subscribe to, and believe in. The Internet has also aided and abetted this growing sense of emancipation, and freedom to explore alternative viewpoints.
It is messy at this point but it will distil down…
What I see as drawing it together is the belief in, and exploration of, consciousness, or in a spirituality that includes consciousness and the interconnectiveness of everything.
The holistic & spiritual worldview is likely to include belief in the afterlife, in karma and reincarnation. God/s can also be included but less likely to be the god/s of orthodox or world religions. A god may be feminine, as in Gaia, or less anthropomorphised as in the notion of a Source that is neither male nor female. I call this "Love" and have written about it in my book, Love's Story of Why We Are Here.
The Meaningful world we are heading into…
This paradigm implies, in essence, that we live in a "meaningful" world, driven by spiritual/intelligent forces. In many respects this is a worldview coming of age. It's roots however go back many thousands of years.
It is still however finding its legs. It still meets with a lot of resistance. It is reflected in the other, more established/conventional worldviews as being fringe, often woo-woo, pseudoscience and possibly dangerous. It is however the worldview we are all heading towards, regardless. Unless these other worldviews catch up, update, it is set to replace the Abrahamic religions and the mechanistic/materialistic worldview of our orthodox sciences, most probably within this century.
Taking us to new horizons – homeward angel
This is the paradigm that will free us from the gods, dark fears, treadmills and manipulations of our past.
It encourages us towards physical and spiritual emancipation, to discover our individual uniqueness, to learn to love ourselves and get onboard the adventure – beyond preoccupation with our 9 to 5 routines. To take our rightful place in the scheme of things, in the cosmos, to be aware of our place in our Milky Way galaxy, and to be linking with our brothers and sisters out there, who are waiting on us to awake and come out to play…

Home Interviews Interview Series: Sara Spangelo CEO and CoFounder of SWARM
Interview Series: Sara Spangelo CEO and CoFounder of SWARM
Anthony Anzalone
By, Josh Lattuca
Want to learn the habits, philosophies, and business practices of leaders in the space industry? Check out our interview series, where we've distilled the paths and ideas that those leaders have explored to become pioneers in the world's current frontier.
Sara Spangelo, CEO and CoFounder of Swarm
By 2025, it's estimated that 21 billion devices will be connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). From steel factories to bee farms, every industry will have the opportunity to monitor their processes in real-time and eliminate inefficiencies and unnecessary destruction. Every one of these micro-changes allows each business to save money, eliminate waste of their product, and use less natural resources. Less production-waste means lower consumer prices and more room for process improvement. This improvement creates a positive-feedback loop, which holds the potential to add up exponentially. The problem, however, is that the places where such improvements could have the highest impact are often remote or rural. Currently, ground-based networks only reach a small fraction of the planet, leaving millions of businesses unable to access these possibilities.
This week I interviewed Sara Spangelo, the CEO and Co-founder of Swarm, a microsatellite company founded in 2016. Swarm's mission is to provide global connectivity that is affordable. Their solution to accomplish this is simple; launch significantly smaller satellites to have significantly less launch costs, then charge approximately one-tenth current market prices for connectivity. They plan to accomplish this within the next year using a constellation of around 150 microsatellites. They currently have nine experimental satellites in space now, with the first batch of commercially-rated '1/4U SpaceBEEs' launching in September. Swarm's initial goal is to provide a fast (but relatively low bandwidth) global network that can connect devices to the IoT and allow basic text messaging anywhere on the planet at an affordable rate.
1/4U SpaceBEEs are approximately 10cm X 10cm
In the interview, Spangelo described starting a company in the space industry, the origins of Swarm, and her vision for the company's future.
Some of what Spangelo has accomplished:
Lead systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Lead systems engineer at Google X
Worked on Google's Project Wing (Autonomous delivery drones)
Co-Founded Swarm with Ben Longmier
Some of what Swarm has accomplished:
Created an operational two-way satellite that fits in one hand (the smallest 2-way communication satellites ever launched)
Raised enough money in their Series A funding to launch a constellation capable of global coverage ($25 million)
Launched nine experimental satellites that they now monitor
Developed a postage-stamp-sized transmitter for IoT devices (called a Tile)
Installed multiple Swarm-built ground stations in remote areas (like, Antarctica-remote)
The (short-term) vision for Swarm
150 satellites launched into LEO in the next year (allowing for global coverage)
A low cost and simple subscription service to global connectivity
Founding a Company in the Space Industry
Spangelo says her interest in space and flight started young. She attended space camp in eighth grade and set about telling everyone she was going to be an astronaut (she ended up top 32 in Canada's astronaut program in 2017 and is currently an instrument-rated pilot). Her interest and abilities in science and math made the road to a Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering a natural one, but the transition from scientist to business leader was less expected.
Swarm Founders Ben Longmier and Sara Spangelo
GoogleX has a program called Rapid Evaluation (Rapid Eval) where innovators within Google pitch project ideas that may one day make the world a radically better place. Spangelo created and brought one such project to Rapid Eval. In the interview, she explained that gathering support and learning to pitch ideas in a compelling manner was an integral step to becoming an entrepreneur. In 2016, Spangelo and Longmier recognized the need for an affordable global network. There were several companies launching or planning to launch satellite networks, but the cost of these projects was going to be in the billions. Such projects often have a high rate of failure (since that time, two of the four companies attempting it have halted progress).
"With some back-of-the-envelope math, we realized that if we could make the technology ten to twelve times smaller than what was currently being used, we could afford to launch a global network with the amount of money from one series of funding in the Bay Area"
Swarm is in the midst of accomplishing that goal. They build all their technology in-house, allowing them to keep costs low and the quality high. Once in orbit, the satellites have an expected use-life of three to five years, and Spangelo expects they'll be continuously improving their product in the meantime.
What Impact Could Swarm Have?
Their satellites aren't much bigger than a klondike bar, but they have almost unlimited potential to affect the world. That isn't meant to be an empty statement. Currently, the agricultural industry creates enough food to feed 120% of the population, then loses about 30% of it either in production, storage, shipment, or consumer waste. This excess production, while currently necessary, drives food prices higher, creates massive amounts of greenhouse gases (the agricultural sector accounts for 10% of greenhouse gases), and uses billions of tons of excess water. Meanwhile, simple sensors can allow farmers, technicians, transportation companies, and anyone else involved in the agricultural industry to recognize and correct problems (such as inadequate storage temperatures, inefficient irrigation methods, traffic jams that lead to product loss, etc.). A global network that people and businesses can afford is the missing link to gather and integrate this data.
Swarm provides that same solution to maritime transportation, the energy market, water-quality monitoring in developing areas, monitoring bee-hive health, and anywhere else that waste can be eliminated and data-driven solutions can be implemented to improve quality.

Biden: Second Amendment 'Was Never Absolute'
Liza Hearon
May 30, 2022, 11:48 AM ·2 min read
President Joe Biden offered more of his thoughts on gun control on Monday, expressing concern to reporters at the White House about the lethality of modern weapons.
"The Constitution, the Second Amendment, was never absolute. You couldn't buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed," Biden said.
The president and first lady Jill Biden are scheduled to attend a wreath-laying ceremony for Memorial Day on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, and to meet with families of service members who have died.
Biden addressed questions by reporters on gun control after the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, last week that killed 19 children and two teachers. The Bidens visited the community on Sunday and grieved with the families. As people chanted "do something" as they were leaving a church, Biden said: "We will."
When asked for more details on Monday, Biden talked about visiting a trauma center in New York and seeing the damage caused by modern weapons.
"A 9 mm bullet blows the lung out of the body," the president said. "There's simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting."
While he hasn't started negotiating with Republicans yet on any changes, he observed: "I think things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it."
He then named Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) as possible "rational" Republicans in efforts to seek compromise on legislation.
Biden acknowledged that his ability to take action with executive orders is limited. "I can do the things I've done and any executive action I can take, I'll continue to take. But I can't outlaw a weapon. I can't change a background check. I can't do that," he said.
Biden has been a part of various efforts to control gun violence over the years. He was involved with the 1994 assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. He was also part of the failure to pass new legislation after the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, which left 26 people dead.
McConnell has tasked Cornyn, who tweeted a defense of police personnel who were slow to respond to the Uvalde shooting, with beginning discussions with Democrats to find a consensus on gun legislation.
Both senators are among the top five congressional recipients of funds from pro-gun groups, according to OpenSecrets.org.

In celebration of its 15th anniversary, Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art is delighted to present, through a prism of classical Persian poetry, an exhibition of works by nine contemporary Iranian artists at the Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello di Venezia from 9 May to 23 November 2019.

Curated by Ziba Ardalan, Founder, Artistic and Executive Director of Parasol unit, London, THE SPARK IS YOU: Parasol unit in Venice exhibition has at its heart the need to develop mutual respect and understanding between different nations and cultures. Fittingly, this exhibition coincides with the 200th anniversary of West-oestlicher Divan (West-Eastern Divan), 1819, a book of lyrical poems written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in homage to the fourteenth-century Persian poet Hafez.
The nine artists, all of whose vision looks beyond the ordinary, were selected for the affinity with openness, respect and human interconnectedness that is evinced in their work. Stemming directly from a long and magnificent tradition of Persian poetry, this philosophy of life is a fundamental element of the Iranian/Persian character. Dialogues open up across the exhibition, not only between the different generations of artists and the geographical regions from which they now draw inspiration, but also through a common desire to interact openly and respectfully with others. And, just as Goethe through his poetry sought to bridge East and West, these artists too seek to communicate mutually across all borders.
THE SPARK IS YOU: Parasol unit in Venice exhibition of paintings, sculptures, installations, multi-media and film brings together Iranian artists of different ages, who now live and work either in or outside of Iran. Having had a similar early education and grounding in classical Persian poetry they have all benefited from thought processes that are rooted in concepts such as the use of metaphor, openness, dialogue and figurative thinking. Shown together, their works create a sense of exchange that is felt in many ways across and beyond the exhibition, not only between the art works but also in the desire of the artists to communicate with thinkers from other cultures, and finally between art and music.
Venice, with its renowned history of being central to so many connections between East and West, is an ideal setting for The Spark is You exhibition. Presented at the Conservatorio di Musica in Venice, visual art and music interact harmoniously, a reminder that different art forms are all part of a single discourse. Each artist presents their work in a separate room or an outdoor courtyard, which allows ample mental space for viewers to reflect on the exhibition and create their own dialogue with and between the works.
THE SPARK IS YOU: Parasol unit in Venice exhibition highlights the vital importance of open dialogue in the development of greater understanding between all nations. Particularly in the tumultuous and uncertain times of today, this exhibition is timely and informative in ways that we hope will further engender curiosity, understanding and appreciation of other cultures and stimulate more conversations.

Author and columnist Mark Steyn nailed it on Tucker Carlson's show last night [see video below]. He might end up being labeled a Russian agent for his comments.
The rule of law is under assault, the civil rights of an American have been violated, and the Democrats are okay with this, Steyn said. Faith in the system is damaged, not because of a memo that was released as the media is reporting, but because of the actions of the intelligence community itself, he pointed out.
He also made note of the fact that it is odd Christopher Steele who is at the center of it all retired from MI-5 at the ripe old age of 44 and now does some work for the FBI. It's a clear violation of our pact with the foreign intelligence agencies.
Steyn didn't say this but I'm asking, why does a foreigner care so much who our president is and why does he have a say?
Have you heard how CBS is reporting this?
CBS News reports ignore the revelations in the memo and instead accuse the Republicans of releasing classified documents and ignoring more important business. They don't care about the FBI violating the civil liberties of Americans and taking sides in a political contest.
They don't care that claiming the memo is a classified document is a provable lie.
Nothing in the memo is classified. It simply lists facts. CBS has presented the memo as the cause of the break down of trust in our so-called esteemed institutions. Ironically, it is the FBI itself that has broken down the trust but you won't hear that on CBS.
The only thing interesting to them was the FISA warrant was renewed three times, proving the FBI had evidence, according to their reporting. They also presented the Democrats' dishonest talking points as the clear takeaway.
For the second week in a row, members of the House Intelligence Committee gathered at 5 p.m. on a Monday — putting aside the routine Committee business of getting briefed on the world's most pressing security threats — to debate the value of publicly releasing a classified document on alleged surveillance abuses by the nation's top law enforcement agency.
And more than three weeks after the GOP memo controversy first began to percolate, one question increasingly posed, both by observers of the committee and by its own members, seems to be: what good did releasing the memos do?
The rest of the article elaborated on the committee not doing their job but, don't worry, Adam Schiff is hopeful.
This is the Alinsky Media. It's Pravda and it's hard to know how we survive with a corrupt media and corrupt intelligence agencies. Eight years of a Marxist in the White House accelerated the damage to our rule of law.
Furthermore, THERE IS NO MENTION AT CBS ONLINE OF THE CRIMINAL REFERRAL RELEASED BY THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. In that heavily redacted referral, what is clear is there was a convoluted plot involving Christopher Steele who appears to have lied under oath.
A Clinton ally fed opposition research from a foreign source to the State Department who gave it to Steele who wrote the second dossier with that information. Throughout it all, Steele was in close contact with the FBI.
The foreign source is reportedly the Russians. The ally is said to be Clinton "political fixer" Cody Shearer and the State Department official is believed to be Jon Winer.
The media has no interest in that whatsoever.
If you ask questions, you are a Russian agent. Take Tucker for example.
Mark Steyn put it all in context with his usual good humor and like few others can do as well.

According to the Jacksonville Business Journal, two more lawsuits were filed Nov. 29 alleging that CSX Corp. has violated employees' rights protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
One suit was filed by a former employee from West Virginia who alleges that she was fired for absenteeism while using approved FMLA time off to address migraines and recover from knee surgery, the Journal reported.
The Journal said the other suit was filed in Ohio by an employee who states he's been denied bonuses for good attendance because he took covered leave. This suit has been filed as a class-action suit, according to the Journal.
CSX has been accused by multiple others of having violated FMLA this year. In February, a suit was filed in West Virginia claiming that CSX fired 46 employees who were covered under FMLA. In March, a similar claim was made in Maryland after the railroad fired 20 more employees for the same reasons. Three more suits filed this year in Alabama and Pennsylvania also allege the company violated rights covered under FMLA.
Late last year, CSX investigated a number of employees for taking FMLA leave, leading to one of SMART TD's Designated Legal Counsel to offer services.

Joseph Campbell and the School of Irish Studies atFordham University, 1928-1932

Download PDF: Joseph Campbell and the School of Irish Studies atFordham University, 1928-1932
Donald Keough, retired CEO of Coca-Cola Corporation, made a $2.5 million gift to the University of Notre Dame in 1993 to establish a center for Irish studies.
In publicizing the goals of the gift, which also endowed an Irish studies professorship, , the president of Notre Dame noted that four of the founding religious of Notre Dame were Irish emigrants and that 14 of the 16 presidents of Notre Dame were of Irish descent. That announcement moved me to investigate Fordham's University Archives for details of the former School of Irish Studies at Fordham University. - Thomas C. Hennessy, S.J. B elfast-born poet Joseph Campbell emigrated to New York in the mid-1920s. Embittered by his arrest and internship for several years as a sympathizer with the Irish Republican cause, Campbell hoped to transpose his cultural ideals for Ireland to New York. In 1925, at the age of 46, he began organizing The School of Irish Studies (along with a partner, Michael Walsh) as one expression of those ideals.
Campbell first proposed the school at a recital of Irish poetry at the Hotel Majestic, which stood across the street from the Woolworth Building on Broadway in downtown Manhattan. Apparently after reciting some of his own verse, Campbell sketched out his hopes and plans for a school. A subsequent meeting assembled friends and supporters - and within three weeks the group had its own quarters at 6 East Twelfth Street in Manhattan and the school was under way.
At first operating independently as an institute, the school did not initially offer academic degrees. (Only in 1928 was the school integrated into Fordham University at its Manhattan campus in the Woolworth Building.) The 1925-26 prospectus of the school announced themes it was able to offer as academic courses within a few years: First, the history of Ireland from the earliest times to the latest developments; second, Irish literature from the ancient hero-tales like the Tain Bo Cualnge to the post-James Joyce younger writers. The prospectus announced Irish art, Irish music, and traditional singing would be taught when resources became available.
The most striking aspects of the 1925-26 prospectus are its cultural objectives: the publication of an Irish literary magazine, endowment of scholarships in Gaelic research, and the creation in New York City of an Irish social center.
The social center was to be a place where "distinguished visitors" would be received and where Irish writers and artists would gain exposure to American audiences. These cultural goals would prove frustratingly elusive for Campbell in the years ahead.
We have no information about how widely the prospectus was circulated. It was printed simply, without any artistic embellishment. This must have disappointed Mr.
Campbell as he himself illustrated some of his earlier publications. For instance, for his 1917 book of poetry, he drew 21 symbolic line drawings. Later publications sponsored by Campbell contained fine traditional Celtic-style illustrations.
During 1926 and 1927 the school opened its doors with a series of impressive scholarly presentations. These included lectures on Irish history, art, language and literature, offered by faculty members or graduates of Columbia, Thomas C. Hennessy is Emeritus Professor in the School of Education, Fordham University. The author urges readers interested in learning more about Joseph Campbell to read Joseph Campbell: A Critical Biography by A.A. Kelly andNorah Saunders (Dublin: Wolfhound Press, 1988) which provided much of the source material for this essay.
Volume 10,199625 Harvard, Fordham, Brown, Trinity, City College, and the University of Paris. The presenters were undoubtedly well known in their own day but probably only the following would be known by a later generation: Padraic Colum, the Irish poet, Theodore Maynard, biographer and poet, Dudley Digges of the Abbey Theatre, and Dr. James J. Walsh, physician and historian. The school's "non-insular policy" resulted in a presentation of Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" and in two chamber music concerts of works by Wagner and Debussy.
A 1928 booklet, "Irish Culture, An Announcement of the School of Irish Studies in Fordham University," most fully expresses Campbell's ambitions for the school, bolstered that year by the resources of Fordham University.
The cover page of the booklet and one of its illustrations., are reproduced on the back cover of this journal. Running 50 pages, the booklet includes brief essays edited by Campbell, Dr. Edward J. Kavanagh and Dr. James E. Tobin.
The first essay is on the distinctive features of Irish art, such as the scribes' illumination of books as seen in the Book of Kells, and the metal work demonstrated in the Tara brooch and the Ardagh chalice. A second essay is devoted to Irish literature, and particularly to the importance of writings in the Irish language of which many individuals like the poet Thomas Moore were ignorant. (Moore admitted later that he should hot have written his history of Ireland because he did not know the Irish language.) The last part of the 1928 booklet sketches how the School of Irish Studies came into being.
And often there of quiet summer eves We gather, Seoghan and Shamus, Feighlim Og and I - My Gaelic School - to sit within the leaves, And listen to the red-bees twilight lullaby.
And Seoghan will take a poem from his breast, Chanting it to the purple sunken sun, Until the merging glow of day and night And murmurous drone and singer's voice are one, And Dana's secret eyes from heaven's height Look down upon our little world at rest. - Joseph Campbell The school's 1928 merger with Fordham came about as a result of classes Campbell began teaching, independently of the school, for the English department of Fordham University's Manhattan division in 1926. Campbell taught Contemporary Irish Poetry, Irish Dramatists, and a Survey of Irish Literature. All three courses would become a staple part of his academic repertoire for the School of Irish Studies. In 1927, in the same department, Campbell offered a course in the Irish language (in that year titled Gaelic, but thereafter titled Irish). Fr. John P. Monaghan who was also a member of the English faculty of Fordham University, and a supporter of Campbell's School of Irish Studies, suggested to Campbell the possibility of a linkage with a local university to assure academic credit for their students. In December 1927, Campbell met with Fr. Miles O'Mailia, S.J., dean of the Fordham Graduate School, and with Rev. William J. Duane, S.J., then president of the University. The result was the incorporation of the School of Irish Studies into Fordham University, done so rapidly that four courses of Irish Studies, five public lectures, and two plays were transferred to Fordham for the 1928 spring semester. (Today such a move would ruffle so many administrative and faculty turfs it would take years, not weeks.) Campbell proudly pointed out a difference between his program and those at other universities such as Harvard and the Catholic University of America. Their departments or chairs distributed courses over the general field of Celtic studies: Irish, Welsh, Scottish, and other Gaelic studies.
Fordham's program, on the other hand, focused solely on the field of Irish studies.
The planned course of studies at Fordham embraced four disciplines: Old and Modern Irish language courses were taught by Edward J. Kavanagh, Ph.D., chairman of the department of Classical languages at James Monroe High School, who began teaching these courses in 1922. Irish literature was taught by Campbell. Irish history was taught by (left) In the 1920s, Fordham's Manhattan course offerings, including Irish studies classes, were held in the Woolworth Building. 26New York Irish History Of homely folk and lowly things: Of tilling men who plough and reap; Of piping men who tramp the roads And ply their chanters for a crust, A threadbare coat, a place to sleep, A shelter from the rain and dust.... Joseph Campbell Herbert Donovan, Ph.D., who was also chairman of the history department of James Madison High School. Art was taught by Joseph Tierney, graduate of the School of Art, Dublin. Campbell noted that with the syllabus now in place: "the only thing that is lacking is Irish music." He hoped to rectify that situation if there were sufficient demand.
Campbell wrote in 1928 that, for the success of the School, there were additional material needs which would • require endowments from benefactors. Fordham's library needed to~add a special collection of books and journals to enable graduate students to do original research and other scholarly work. Campbell proposed translations from German, French, Scandinavian, and Italian sources which at that time contained the bulk of top-flight research on Irish philology and early Irish history. In addition, - Campbell solicited endowments furthering the general scholarly work of the School, funding student scholarships, and underwriting a proposed monthly or quarterly Journal.
In the final brochure in the archives, the one for 1929, two developments are discerned. The first is that the original plan for a social center was dropped and instead he proposed a fraternity under the patronage of "St. Brighid, saint, seer, and patroness of the arts." The organization was meant to be primarily for students and graduates of the School but was to be open also to others who were interested in "the finer things of Irish origin - in poetry, drama, music, painting and illumination." The fraternity encompassed dinners, recitals, and receptions that emphasized social and cultural relationships. The organizational plan called for officers to be addressed by Gaelic titles such as Ceann (Chief) and Sgibhneoir (Secretary). Members were to receive issues of the fraternity bulletin, "The Fiery Arrow." There is no information as to whether the fraternity every got off the ground. Some issues of the fraternity bulletin were published but were not found in the archives.
The second development noted in the 1929 brochure was in the area of music and drama. While the absence of music is mentioned in the 1928 curriculum offerings, the 1929 listing boasts two music courses: The Music of Ireland (a survey of distinctive Irish music, musicians, and collectors of Irish music) and Irish Choral Singing. The latter is described as a practical course for those "with good voices." Both of the music courses were taught by Helga McC. Salkeld who studied music in both Brussels and Petrograd. The music courses became so popular that they subsequently drew criticism - for being "recreational" and not up to the usual level of academic standards.
There were other changes in the 1929 course offerings.
The total number of courses increased by five, from 15 to 20. The course in art was not listed. And the major increase in courses was among those cross-listed with Fordham's English department; 10 in 1928,15 in 1929. (This may also have had negative consequences subsequently, for poaching on turf Fordham's English professors considered their domain.) Having examined the school's publications, I turned to registration for the school's courses. The number of students who register for courses is a standard criteria for evaluating the success of an academic program. In the four academic years of the School's existence, the numbers of students who registered for courses were 273 in 1928-29, 294 in 1929-30, 374 in 1930- 31 (the banner year for registrations), and 314 in 1931-32. In his correspondence, Campbell stated that his classes averaged 14 or 15 students, and such numbers were judged satisfactory in a private university. In a report on these registrations the claim was made that Fordham's number of students in Irish studies during those years exceeded that of any other college or university in the United States. Unfortunately the records do not indicate what percentage of the students were graduate or undergraduate.
In sum, the School seemed to prosper in its first few years. Why, then, did Fordham phase out the School after ^ only four full years of existence? Academic decisions are usually based on analyses of numerous considerations that point to one final conclusion. It is rare that a single reason can be assigned for the closing of a school or program. In the case of the School of Irish Studies the decision seems to have been based upon conflicting concerns: Campbell's dissatisfactions and Fordham's disappointments. Let us examine both.
Campbell's Perspective Campbell's dissatisfactions seem to have been primarily monetary. Apparently, Campbell was hired on an adjunct or part-time basis (as opposed to being a full-time teacher). He was paid on a per course basis. For generations the remuneration of adjunct or part-time college teachers has been scandalously below that of full-time faculty. Fordham contended this was appropriate since Campbell did not have an academic degree.
In a letter to the graduate dean, Fr. O'Mailia, dated New Year's Day, 1932, Campbell complained that what with "house claims" and having to pay the term fees for two sons at Trinity College, he felt that he was barely earning a living wage. Yet he carried a course load of 26 hours a week in fall 1931. Today, Fordham would not allow a faculty member to teach so many classes. He would not have time for course preparation, grading, and counseling students.
Volume 10,1996 27 Campbell expressed two other complaints. The first had to do with teaching in the English department: "Paradoxical, is it not, that I who have spent 30 years of my adult life fighting the inroads of a foreign culture in Ireland, would now be forced to serve in a department teaching that culture?" He maintained that the School of Irish Studies should be allowed to operate as a self-contained unit (a difficult request for the university to comply with). Campbell also complained that he had been ordered by the graduate dean to stop accepting doctoral-level students in his program. Campbell took umbrage that two excellent students would have to go elsewhere to complete their work. And then he made this unusual statement: "The majority of my students have the High School mentality, but these two are of real University caliber, in the European sense." Behind this sentence must have been a grave sense of disappointment in the scholastic backgrounds and abilities of his students.
Having stated his financial difficulties, Campbell announced that "Next August [1932] I plan to withdraw for Go, ploughman, plough The wearing lands, The meadow lands, The mountain lands: All life is bare Beneath your share, Ail love is in your lusty hands.
Up, horses, now! And straight and true Let every broken furrow run; The strength you sweat Shall blossom yet In golden glory to the sun.
Poetry by Joseph Campbell, illustration by M.T. Marique from the 1928 catalogue of the School of Irish Studies a while to write. I shall return to Fordham only on condition that you give me a status worthy of my ability...." By this he clearly means status as a full-time faculty member. Although the letter was equivalent to resigning from the faculty (and he was never granted the status he considered his due), in fact he continued teaching at Fordham until 1938. However, the above correspondence effectively precipitated the demise of the School.
The University's Perspective Fordham University's archives do not contain a direct evaluation of the School, but we can make conjectures based upon correspondence and upon some of the decisions that were made.""The University's primary criticism was of the academic level of the courses, which it charged were "recreational." When Campbell was told in 1932 he could no longer offer graduate courses, the problem probably lay with the courses being too ambitious, covering too much in a survey manner at the sacrifice of depth. Campbell inadvertantly confirmed this criticism in complaining of the "High School mentality" of the majority of his students; it is likely that he pitched the level of his courses to that mentality. Campbell may not have sufficiently distinguished between content adapted for popular presentation vs. an acceptably collegelevel approach.
Nearly equal in importance, however, from the University's perspective, may have been Campbell's at times abrasive personality.
Admittedly, a man of poetical dreams, Campbell may not have properly attended to political realities, particularly getting along with people in a university. He wrote of himself that "I seldom say much [about myself]." Perhaps he did not sufficiently explain the School or his literary work either. Just as Campbell's poems contain allusions to extremely local Irish geography and obscure mythology, perhaps Campbell insufficiently explained (and defended) the rest of his professional life? Further personality problems flowed from Campbell's exaggerated sense of his admittedly multiple talents. He ended one New Year's letter with the sentence: "I write not in anger ... but in pity that the Genius must be a beggarly suppliant, while the Politician and the Schoolmaster take all." Is he the Genius in that sentence? If not, why make this statement? A clue to Campbell's relations with other faculty members may be detected in his poem, "The Professor" in which "The Poet from the Stars" speaks [of the professor]): 28New York Irish History out) ReCROspect Illuminated chapter heading from 1928 catalogue ... None but scoffed At me, when hats were doffed to gowned fools. ... Now from the Seraphs' Stair I watch you in your chair, Professing me - for gold - Who never bought or sold.
Campbell's biographers Saunders and Kelly describe the poet at various times as: intransigent, odd, outspoken, clumsy and tactless in dealing with people, anything but genial, impulsive, melancholy, self-pitying, truly belligerent, "a difficult tetchy, unyielding man." Such traits generated friction that undermined all his projects and associations. His political activity in Wicklow, his marriage, his partnership with Michael Walsh, his relationships with publishers, with W. B. Yeats and the Abbey Theatre - all were acrimonious. His marriage with Nancy Maude by whom he had three sons broke up some months after his release from prison. Campbell had strengths outweighing many of the blemishes in his personality, but his problems at Fordham were part of a life-long pattern.
The Verdict In 1931 Campbell asked that the academic offerings of the School be expanded and that the school be reorganized under a director, a full-time Professor and associates. He received a response on January 4,1932, not only vetoing additional classes but telling him to reduce his number of course offerings from 13 to ten. Campbell was subsequently informed he could only teach courses at the undergraduate level. Furthermore, graduate studies in the School of Irish Studies were to be subsumed by the department of English. This last decision must have come as a - truly galling - blow to Campbell. In addition, the January 4th letter instructed him to drop his position as director. Since no provision was made to name a new director, the School folded at the end of the Spring term, 1932. Campbell took steps to move his School of Irish Studies elsewhere. On March 19,1932, he inaugurated the Irish Foundation. Its goals were even more ambitious than those contained in the original 1926 prospectus. Besides the School of Irish Studies and the social goals, the new organization would include a reference library, an orchestra, a restaurant, and a store. Furthermore, there would be branches in other American cities, and a collateral branch in Dublin.
Although the Irish Foundation received a number of generous contributions, by 1936 it was draining Campbell's bank account. Undeterred, in 1938 he reorganized the Foundation and briefly achieved a measure of success.
Before returning to Ireland in the summer of 1939, Campbell revived the School of Irish Studies with six public lectures on ancient Ireland, one of which he gave himself. The lectures were held in the rooms of the American Irish Historical Society (then at 132 Eastl6th Street in Manhattan). Campbell personally offered a series of classes on Irish theatre, poetry, folklore, and epic tales, evenings from Tuesday to Friday, in the Spring of 1939 at the Master building, 310 Riverside Drive.
That proved to be the last that was heard of the Irish Foundation and the School of Irish Studies. Joseph Campbell stretched his dreams for a home for Irish culture in New York City from 1926 until 1939. He died, alone, at age 65, on June 7, 1944 at his beloved farm, Lackandaragh, Glencree, County Wicklow.
The Old Woman As a white candle In a holy place So is the beauty Of an aged face As the spent radiance of the winter sun, So is a woman With her travail done.
Her brood gone from her, And her thoughts as still As the waters Under a ruined mill.
Volume 10,1996 29 Joseph Campbell: An Appreciation Joseph Campbell was described by students and others as "a magnetic personality," whose enthusiasm for his subject matter was contagious. His biographers note frequent references to his "fine, deep, vibrant, strong, rich, resonant voice" which must have been effective in his talks on New York and Dublin radio. Even his physical appearance was appealing: Saunders and Kelly describe him as sturdily built, with well-defined features and a good complexion, surmounted by thick, wavy white hair. A portrait of Campbell by Estella Solomons in the Ulster Museum depicts him in middle age with a thoughtful furrowed brow.
Campbell's idealism attracted many admirers, as well. To the end of his life he remained committed to a united (32 county) republic in Ireland. When he ceased to be politically active, he devoted himself completely to the arts. He held himself to an equally high standard in his personal values. Though he was bedeviled by money problems to the end of his life, he condemned the materialism and greed that he saw in America and indeed later in Ireland.
The poems on the preceding pages speak of Campbell's gifts for writing verse. Though he was talented in drawing and in music (he wrote several popular Irish songs), his main focus was the written word. He maintained rigorous standards in evaluating others' writing and his own work, so high that at his death he left many manuscripts unpublished, including a largely autobiographical novel. For many readers his best known poem, said to be inspired by his mother, is "The Old Woman" (printed on the facing page). Perhaps the best appreciation of Campbell's work at Fordham can be found in a six-page report in the University archives celebrating the arrival in 1941 of the United Irish Counties Feis at Fordham. While the report does not mention its authorship, an article in the June 29, 1941 New York Times attributes the material to Collins Healy, an adjunct faculty member. The paper by Collins Healy, lists ten Fordham University doctoral dissertations "pertaining to Ireland and to persons of Irish ancestry" over the period of 1922-1939. In addition, 83 masters theses in that same category are identified. The dissertations and theses explore issues in history and literature.
The literary issues (which predominate) were likely inspired by Campbell. In fact many of the titles of these works resemble the course titles that Campbell taught.
There was an upsurge of such scholarship after Campbell's arrival at Fordham and that interest continued until his departure.
Though the Fordham University School of Irish Studies ceased to exist by 1932, over the years individual professors in the University continued to foster and promote courses and topics related to Ireland. The Healy paper, referred to above, named 17 teachers who contributed directly to the Irish studies programs at Fordham up to 1941. In addition, it named 41 courses that were offered at Fordham in the areas of Irish language, literature, and history. Later examples of faculty who offered similar Irish-related courses include: Charles Donohue, a specialist in Old Irish and Middle Irish in the Fordham English Department. Bro. Leonard Gilhooley, Mary Margaret Fitzgerald, and Gale Schricker taught courses in Anglo-Irish literature. In the History Department up until a few years ago, Maurice O'Connell sponsored and conducted a series of studies that centered around his great-grandfather, Daniel O'Connell. In that same Department, Nancy Curtin and Joseph F. O'Callaghan continue to present courses in the different stages of Irish history. In the Manhattan campus of the University during the 1940s and 1950s, Collins Healy taught courses on Irish literature, presented a series of public lectures, and sponsored a student organization dedicated to the study of Irish Culture.
Looking ahead with hope, it seems to me that the current environment favors an appreciation of one's cultural identity. Fordham is situated in a city and environs with more people of Irish descent than live in all of Ireland.
Fordham's first faculty (representing five nations that took over a diocesan-founded college in 1846) included four emigrants of Irish heritage (Callaghan, Driscoll, Larkin, Murphy), and of the University's 31 presidents four were Irish-born (Moylan, Dealy, Pettit, Finlay) and 20 others are of Irish descent. Currently the University offers two academic programs in Afro-American Studies, has a Hispanic Research Center, and has two extracurricular Gaelic Societies. Its radio station features three programs of Irish interest (one on the Irish language, two on Irish music). Seemingly such a University would welcome the re-creation of some of Joseph Campbell's ambitious goals for Irish studies in literature and history.
Of course, in these days of financial stress, Joseph Campbell's plans could only be revived and adapted if another Donald Keough or a modern Maecenas matches the Notre Dame grants. What an honor it should be for an Irish-American benefactor to have a Chair or a Center of Irish or Irish-American Studies named after her or him. - Thomas C. Hennessy, S.J. 30New York Irish History Mary Holt Moore on Joseph Cambell M ary Holt Moore, Grand Marshal of the 1991 St. Patrick's Parade, has childhood memories of poet Joseph Campbell, who used to come to her parents' house occasionally for dinner: [Sitting on his lap] "I used to admire the huge head of hair he had - snow white. I was fascinated by his string tie and his silky shirts. I used to love when he recited "The Nine-Penny Fiddle" - I thought he made it up for me.
My mother and father were Irish And I am Irish too, I bought a wee fiddle for nine pence And it is Irish too, I'm up in the morning early To meet the dawn of day And to the lint white piping It's many the tune I play When Fordham let Campbell go in 1932, Mrs. Moore recalls her mother grumbling that it was: "just because he didn't have a Ph.D." and "All Jesuits are intellectual snobs." Moore's aunt, Mary O'Rourke, took her to a series of farewell luncheons and dinner parties held in Campbell's honor just before he left New York. One was held in the hall where the Gaelic Society used to meet: "above a movie theater at 66th Street and Broadway, [that's where] I met Padraic Colum, Dudley Diggs (an Abbey player in the movies here), and Sarah Allgood's sister (Brian Calendar who founded the Bronx Gaelic League was her nephew). Gifts poured in [for Campbell], simple things: whiskey, a bunch of flowers from an Irish cop. ..." Along with "The Nine-Penny Fiddle," Moore considers the poems Joseph Campbell wrote in the curragh (while interned) her favorites. In summation, Mary Holt Moore comments: "He was a patriot, a Fianna Gael, a consummate Irishman, a true blue. Ni Bheath a leitheidi ann gho deo aris." (His likes will never be seen again.)

Reggie Miller, Knicks Antagonist, Still Sucks
By Chris Smith
Photo: Michael Buckner/Getty Images
When Reggie Miller walks through the city this week, he'll be booed and cursed. And he'll love it. The former NBA great will be here promoting Winning Time, a new movie about the epic battles between the mid-nineties Knicks and Miller's Indiana Pacers. Those games produced some ugly basketball—but they also overflowed with a type of passion, quite separate from the on-court violence, that's missing from today's NBA.
At six foot seven, with a deadly three-point-shooting touch, Miller had enviable physical skills. What made him one of the Knicks' bitterest enemies, though, were Miller's Hall-of-Fame talents in psychological warfare. He didn't just excel at trash-talking and at conning officials; he reveled in playing the villain. Miller's act became legend when he found two perfect foils: lunkheaded Knicks guard John Starks and mischievous Knicks No. 1 Fan Spike Lee.
Directed by Dan Klores, a former PR guru and lifelong Knicks fan, the movie details the amazing on-court action, particularly Miller's still-mind-blowing eight-points-in-nine-seconds spree to steal a 1995 playoff game, and weaves together often-hilarious present-day interviews. But where the documentary, debuting March 14 on ESPN, truly excels is in its portrait of the near-life-or-death intensity of the Pacers–Knicks games, not just for the players but for their cities. It's an atmosphere virtually impossible to imagine in today's wimpified NBA.
The league—partly in reaction to those Pacers-Knicks mêlées—has repeatedly changed the rules to encourage scoring, in the name of entertainment value. One result is that unless a team has one of the few true superstars, it's doomed; another is that even in the postseason, NBA games have become a disposable, quickly forgotten "product." It's highly unlikely anyone will be making a documentary fifteen years from now about the 2010 Eastern Conference semifinals, or heckling Kevin Garnett when he passes through Cleveland in 2025.
The way pro basketball is marketed has also helped drain its spirit. In order to appeal to young (and particularly white) fans, the NBA and its biggest sponsors transform today's best black players into cuddly cartoons that border on minstrelsy. Probably Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are as tough, and they burn to win as much, as anyone back in the day. But Reggie Miller never would have allowed himself to be turned into a puppet.
These days Miller is friendly with Spike Lee. But he still loves to be hated in New York, and he is still taunting Knicks fans. "When they'd chant, 'Reggie sucks!,' I always wanted to know, what did I suck?" Miller says with a devilish laugh. Oh, he's plenty smart enough to fill in the blank.

079: Pioneering Pathogen Reduction with Ray Goodrich
Joe Chaffin | Jan 30, 2020 | BBGuy Podcast, Blood Products, Special Topic | 2 comments
Once upon a time, pathogen reduction was just a dream. Ray Goodrich helped that dream become reality, and he joins me to share his story.
Dr. Ray Goodrich
Today, especially with the publication of the FDA Final Guidance on platelet bacterial contamination, most everyone is thinking about pathogen reduction. There was a time, though, when it existed only in the minds of some very smart people.
A Pioneer Takes an Idea to Reality
Modern pathogen reduction operates on a very selective basis, using compounds designed to bind to nucleic acids and keep potential infectious organisms from replicating and causing infection. This idea seems obvious to us now, but Dr. Ray Goodrich was one of the pioneering scientists trying to figure out exactly what substances to use and how to treat the product back in the early days. His stories of trying to use compounds called "psoralens" as well as a substance as simple as vitamin B2 (riboflavin) are fascinating.
The work that Ray and many other scientists did has made it possible for millions of patients around the world to have access to pathogen-reduced blood products, and the impact of that work will be felt for a long time.

Furrer + Frey, which has acquired the Opbrid, recently proposed a pretty nifty idea on how to electrify long-haul trucking.
Instead of overhead catenaries, inductive charging while driving, fast charging along the route, or battery swapping, Opbrid is considering swapping whole tractors (it would seem they are definitely Formula E fans - which utilize the same principle).
"Under the proposed tractor swapping model, a tractor-trailer with a low battery charge would pull into a station where a fully charged tractor is waiting. The driver switches tractors, and departs with a full pack. The first tractor then recharges."
To facilitate the swap, Opbrid would like to make the process automatic (with some driver assistance).
Charging power at the stations would be up to 650 kW, while the battery packs needed for about 200 km (120 miles) of heavy load driving would need to be about 400 kWh.
Jost KKS automated coupling system. This is a fully automatic driver assistance system that controls all functions of the coupling and decoupling process that have previously been performed manually. This also includes the first automated interface for pneumatic and electric connections.
Furrer + Frey Opbrid Trůkbaar. The Opbrid Trůkbaar is designed for ultra high power mode 4 DC charging, up to 650 kW. This amount of power transfer uses the conductive technology transferred from the European electric rail industry by Furrer + Frey. This amount of power transfer enables scenarios such as super short charge stops and 24-hour operation.
Need for precise scheduling to avoid idle tractors.
Installation on the KKS system on participating tractors and trailers.
Delays can propagate through the system—similar to delays in air travel.
The business model favors large shippers.

Reason: bullish Ichimoku Cloud, but the lines Senkou Span A and B are horizontal; a golden cross of Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen, but the lines are horizontal; the prices are under a daily resistance; the market is overbought.


P.S. Seeds of hope is the three-year campaign to fund the ministry of Barclay Press by developing new titles, supporting small churches, and balancing the budget. In order to stay on target to meet our goal of $162,000 by December 31, 2020, we need to get to $39,405 by September 1, 2018. As of this morning, we have raised $31,580 in gifts and pledges.
