Technical details. In December of 2014, we surveyed 1119 people who were on a list as working in adjunct teaching and non-teaching titles. We received 455 responses, at least a 40% response rate. About 10 questionnaires were eliminated because the person wasn't an adjunct. In one case where an accurate list of adjuncts was provided, the Business School (63 adjuncts in Spring 2015), there was a 39.7% rate of response (25 Business School adjuncts responded).
Because the list was not perfect—it included an unknown number of people who did not respond because they no longer worked at CSI or no longer worked as adjuncts—it is possible that overall as many as 50% of the adjuncts at CSI responded. Several questionnaires were eliminated because the respondent reported not being an adjunct,
The survey had some limitations and analysis is not complete. It was a first-time effort by volunteers, using Survey Monkey. Some of the percentages reported below are based on the entire population of people in adjunct teaching and non-teaching titles, including those with a full-time job. Therefore, percentages may be underestimates on some issues.
Demographics. Half of the respondents had a Master degree, representing the largest group of respondents, the adjunct lecturers. In addition, nearly a third (120) had a PhD, MFA, or other terminal degree, only 9 of whom were full-time CSI faculty/staff who teach an overload at their adjunct pay rate. Non-teaching adjuncts accounted for 33 of the respondents. Women were 58.6% of respondents, and from a quick analysis of samples of the part-time and full-time faculty lists, it appears that women are similarly over-represented in general among faculty on campus. In age, respondents were spread all the way from their early twenties to 75 and above. Interestingly, there was a cluster of 55 people who are saving the University money on health insurance because they are 65 and above and eligible for Medicare.
Outstanding results. The issues that stood out as important to CSI adjuncts were pay, job security, and collegiality (broadly defined). High percentages of respondents wanted a significant raise, an end to uncertainty about whether they'd be reappointed, and inclusion in the life of the college.
Half of the respondents said they would like a full-time teaching job. Another 30% said they would like a regular part-time teaching job. Yet most seemed pessimistic about the chances that the system would change and were focused instead on ways to improve the existing situation. For example, 71% thought adjuncts should be allowed to teach more than 9 credits on the CSI campus. In the comments, respondents suggested having more courses available to adjuncts, preference for adjuncts rather than full-time faculty for summer courses, and an end to CUNY's opposition to unemployment insurance for adjuncts.
Pay. A majority of adjuncts want a significant pay increase. There were two versions of this option, and together they were by far the most frequently selected as favorite choice. Asked another way, 86% of respondents said pay was a "very important" contract issue.
While it is often said that most people working in adjunct positions do not need to be paid more for this work, in our survey almost 70% said the pay from this adjunct position at CSI was "very important" to their livelihood. In addition, 60% said other people depended on them for a substantial portion of their support. While it is true that a majority of CSI adjuncts also have another source of income, 36% said that this job at CSI is their primary source of income!
Half of the respondents (201 people) said that during their time working as an adjunct they had experienced trouble with their living expenses during the unpaid summer and/or winter breaks. Among the most popular suggestions for how to address this problem were the following:
- the college should provide paid work or paid training during the breaks between terms
- adjuncts should be paid for course preparation
- the pay rate should be increased sufficiently so that adjuncts would be able to survive the summer just like regular K-12 or college teachers
- those who committed to teaching the next term should be given a stipend during the preceding break
- the college should not oppose people's applications for unemployment insurance.
The pay is so low that several people qualified for public assistance or food stamps during the past year. Yet almost 90% have one or more additional sources of income, most commonly other part time jobs (40%). One of the few other part time jobs that can be coordinated with this kind of changing schedule is another part time teaching job, which likely also is underpaid, resulting in an excessive workload for professional educators trying to cobble together a living wage. As many as 16% are collecting a pension, and 14% are self-employed. A fortunate 34% of adjuncts also have full-time jobs (at CUNY or elsewhere), though several of them said their full-time jobs paid poorly. More than half the respondents said there was another wage earner in the household. (It would be interesting to survey those other members of adjuncts' households on their feelings about subsidizing CUNY's "low-paid adjunct labor" habit.)
Job security. The vast majority (81%) want job security and an end to the system where they never know if they'll be working again in the next term. In one question, slightly more people ranked job security their #1 concern and pay equity #2 than vice versa. The issue of job security was important to adjuncts with full-time jobs as well, for many of them depend on this as part of household income.
While fewer than a quarter had had a class canceled within the last month before the beginning of the term, a full three-quarters said they would like to be paid for the course if it were canceled this late.
Health insurance. Out of 411 who answered this question, 71 have the adjunct health insurance plan and 248 have health insurance from another source. That leaves 92 with no health insurance; 57 say they don't have it because they aren't working enough hours and 36 say they have not worked enough previous terms. (It is important to note that even those with the adjunct health insurance plan have no coverage for their dependents.)
Specific policy suggestions. A question listed several policies that have been suggested to improve the situation of adjuncts. The highest ranking policies were the two focused on raising pay to per-course equity with those doing similar work.
|% ranking as "favorite idea"
|Policy suggestion
|Raising the minimum beginning rate for a 3-credit course to $5,000 (endorsed by CUNY and SUNY faculty unions) or $7,230 (recommended by the Modern Language Association in 2010).
|Increasing the pay rate for all adjunct titles annually until per-course parity is reached with the pay rate of a full-time lecturer.
|Awarding adjuncts a Certificate of Continuous Employment (similar to tenure) in the adjunct title after 5 years (out of the past 7 years) in the same department and a successful review by the department.
These "pay equity" choices outranked the Certificate of Continuous Employment, which is word-for-word the specific policy on job security now being negotiated by the PSC for those who have worked 10 semesters. In an unfortunate oversight, the survey didn't list a policy option of "regularization" after 2 semesters, which has been won at Vancouver Community College in British Columbia. So we don't know how many adjuncts would have chosen as their favorite or second favorite idea a form of job security that would also apply to the 60% of adjuncts who haven't served 10 semesters.
Collegiality, inclusion, and respect. In many ways, adjuncts expressed a desire to participate in the collegiality and intellectual life of the college. Of the teaching adjuncts, 90% said that academic freedom was either "extremely important" or "very important" to them. Many respondents reported going to meetings, trainings and activities. Others said they cannot be as involved on campus as they wish, for a variety of reasons. Yet 40% said a voice in governance was "very important" to them.
One excuse often heard for paying adjunct faculty so little in comparison with tenure-track faculty is that only tenure track faculty do research. However, 30% of adjuncts in this survey said they are conducting their own research and 41% said that support for research and travel to conferences was "very important." Several adjunct faculty reiterated in written comments how important it is for the university and the students that faculty conduct research. Some complained about feeling isolated and disconnected from the college and from colleagues.
The respect issue is a big one. Comments were allowed on many of the questions, and many people took this opportunity to share sarcastic observations about the way we are treated.
Office space. Almost no adjunct had a desk of his/her own, much less a private office, unless it was an adjunct with a full-time job at the campus who was teaching a course as an adjunct at night. What's worse, at least 19 wrote in that they had no office space at all.
Conclusion. Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. And 68% of respondents agreed with the statement, "With better pay and working conditions I would be able to do a better job in my adjunct position." Anecdotally, some of those who disagreed or were neutral on that question objected to any implication that they were not already doing their very best in the job despite the suboptimal pay and working conditions.

Marion Gilbert – Lincoln
Marion Gilbert – Lincoln
Marion Gilbert, 89, formerly of Lincoln, passed away peacefully on February 11 at the home of her daughter in Narragansett.
She was the adored mother of Alicia Gilbert of Lincoln and Narragansett, Angela Gilbert Weber of San Francisco and Narragansett, and Jeffrey D. Gilbert and his wife, Miki, of Tokyo, Japan. She was predeceased by her son James F. Gilbert Jr. of Kuwait.
Marion was the daughter of the late Arthur Davis Marcotte and the late Marion (Bradley) Marcotte.
She was raised in Lincoln and graduated from the Mary C. Wheeler School in 1947. She spent happy hours in her youth swimming, canoeing, and figure skating on Scott's Pond. She also developed a lifelong interest in horseback riding, galloping gaily along the bridle paths of Lincoln Woods and later keeping horses at her farm residence.
When a young woman, her renowned beauty soon drew a steady stream of photographers, suitors, and even a Hollywood talent scout; however, her parents disapproved. She went on to be married in 1950 to the late James F. Gilbert in the first wedding ceremony in the original St. Jude's Church in Lincoln.
She placed central importance on the raising of her children, instilling in them her own curiosity about the world, empathy, strong moral and ethical principles, and a drive to excel. Her values endure in her children's lives, akin to her having lived a life of 250 years, not just 89.
Marion had artistic talent, rooted in an innate appreciation of color and textures, and had a particular interest in the decorative arts. She was a watercolorist, and was known for having exceptional taste, an increasingly lost art.
Sometimes a contrarian, Marion was a colorful, independent-minded figure in the Lime Rock section of Lincoln, speaking out on issues of importance to the community. She was an early adopter of a healthy lifestyle, typically eating organic foods decades before the norm. In the 1970s and beyond, she was often seen race walking in Lincoln Woods for daily laps around the park. Still, she occasionally indulged in homemade ice cream as if she were in a speed-eating contest.
Later-in-life pleasures were varied too — happy to be ensconced in her den reading a mystery or watching "Masterpiece Theatre," or buzzing around in a bright yellow sports car like a bumblebee pollinating flowers.
Marion was a parishioner of St. Jude Church and a seasonal parishioner of St. Thomas More Church in Narragansett during the 1960s and 1970s. She was a member of The Dunes Club in Narragansett since 1963.
Also surviving her are granddaughters Angela S. Weber and Paige A. Weber, both of New York City. She was predeceased by siblings Leroy Marcotte, Arlene Masse and Raymond Marcotte.
A private mass was held at St. Thomas More Church on February 22 and a celebration of her life will take place in late summer.
Marion's tireless personality has been described as the first peacetime use of nuclear energy. Those who knew her will miss this and much more. For condolences go to Feb. 11 obituaries at www.averystortifuneralhome.com .

Pretty straightforward question here:I created a patch/object, edited it and now to add it to my library.I looked quite every bits of UI and I can't find any button stating "Add to Library"
If I understood correctly it should be there :
I'm gonna respond to my own question.Took me 2h to find that item ... it only appears if you selected the object and opened the editor which is lot of conditions for that element to be accessible.
Yes true, you have to open the object editor for the object you want to copy and then go to the file menu and select "copy to library".
First time I had to locate it, I was also lost and didn't realise that the file menu changes when you open an object for editing.

Connecting local responses around the world
This story comes the Global Learning Festival held in Chennai in 2012. It is told by Aniruddhan Vasudevan. You can find it and many other stories told at the Learning Festival at https://sites.google.com/a/communitylifecompetence.org/the-global-l...
This happened in my community 2 years ago. As part of my work with communities in Chennai, I work with a team in doing crisis interventions. One day, I received a call from a man who said that he'd just then been at the receiving end of homophobic violence. Like many other gay men, he had gone to an online chat room to find a companion for sex. He found someone and also took the risk of going to the stranger's home. There, as they were getting undressed, four or five men appeared suddenly from within the house and beat him up. They took the gold chain, ring and watch and threatened to expose him in public.
I went with my crisis intervention team to see what could be done about the case. When he met me in person he was a little uncomfortable with some of my feminine mannerisms, but I chose to ignore it. However, when my transwoman colleague, Sankara, joined us, the complainant took me aside and told me that he did not want 'her' to be part of the intervention. He did not want to be seen in public with her. I told him that it was not going to be possible for me to exclude her from the team and that he gets all of us handling this for him, or none.
Sankari, another colleague, Shiva and I went to the scene of the crime, an apartment in a narrow street. We introduced ourselves as human rights activists and that we wanted to find out what happened there, since we had a complaint. The guys turned out to be quite intimidating, and they argued that homosexuality was wrong, so there was no harm in punishing someone who 'indulged' in it. We decided to continue the conversation in front of the local police station just to give the impression that we were ready to file an official complaint. However, we knew among ourselves that it was not a real option, since the police were rarely supportive of gay persons. But we kept up the impression and managed to argue, fight and get the man's belongings from them.
The complainant was watching all the action from a distance. Later, he shared that he was ashamed for having been transphobic. He saw how helpful Sankari had been in conducting the conversation. He also saw how we worked together and there was no hierarchy among us. Since then, he has participated in some of our meetings and tells his friends about the need to revise popular perceptions of transpeople.
What this experience taught me It has taught me the power of teaching by action and example. We had not intended to patronise the man and teach him about non-discrimination. However, seeing us at work brought about a transformation in him.
The insight I got from this experience is that I do not need to speechify all the time. Sometimes the easy way to instigate change is simply to BE that change.

These are my three go-to Korean bars in LA. Just in case you didn't know, Korean bars are different from your typical hotel/rooftop bars because they serve food! In fact, it's almost a given that you will order food in addition to your drinks. Most Korean bars are kind of like restaurants, because rather than open spaces where people stand and mingle, you sit at a table with your group and a waiter takes your drink/food orders.
Click on the name of the bar to go to its Yelp page! Also, I made a short YouTube video on one of the bars, Mazinga Z. Click HERE to watch.
1. Gaam (If you like loud, trendy music, and a place to maybe meet people): Gaam is a great place to go if you want to run into a bunch of people you know or if you want to meet other groups of people. Cool decorations and young waiters and waitresses, but it can get crowded very fast because the tables are close together in an open space. There is a nice outside area for large groups or people who want to smoke.
What makes this place special:
- Flavored soju
- Kpop on big screens
- They dress up on Halloween
- 50% off Happy Hour from 5-9pm
- Delicious sweet potato sticks
- Can cater to large parties (outside)
- Smoking area
2. HEU (If you want to try flavored soju in fruits): The times that I have been to HEU, it has been surprisingly very empty. My friends and I go during happy hour to take advantage of the 50% off discount. The drinks are really cool because the pineapple soju comes in a pineapple, and the apple soju is served with frozen hollowed out apples as shot cups. The ever popular "cheese corn" is delicious here.
What makes this place special:
- Flavored soju comes in real fruits! (Eg. Pineapple soju comes in a pineapple and you get apple shotcups for apple soju)
- 50% Happy Hour from 5-9pm
- Cheese corn!!!!!
- Usually pretty empty so it is not too loud
3. Mazinga Z (If you want to eat more than you want to drink): The food is what makes this place special. Everything we tried on the menu was delicious and came in large portions. Even though all the menu items are drastically overpriced, it ends up being very worth it with the 50% off discount. Not only that, but there is no time limit for the happy hour so you can go whenever you want! The interior is pretty dim and lined with comic book characters/scenes. Each party gets a somewhat private table booth so if you want to mingle, this might not be the best place for you. Also, they don't have flavored soju so keep that in mind if you are looking to drink something yummy.
I made a short video on Mazinga Z, so click HERE to watch!
What makes this place special:
- 50% off all day
- REALLY good food
- I recommend the Sweet and Sour Chicken, Kimchi Fried Rice, and the Mazinga Sampler
- Just a note: The Sweet Chili Chicken is EXTREMELY spicy
- Large portions of food
- Manhwa decorations
- Secluded sections for each party (not one large open area with crowded tables)
**Sorry about the picture quality for Mazinga Z. I only took videos from this bar so these are screenshots of the video clips.**

What was a humorous question in 2000 when a map appeared showing the country divided between Jesusland and the United States of Liberty and Education seems more serious today. Image from Betty Bowers.com
Ronald Brownstein has a new book exploring the partisan divide in America today which has a short excerpt in The New York Times.
DeLay saw greater partisan conflict as a means of advancing conservative goals. The Kossacks saw more conflict as essential to resisting conservative goals and reviving a left-of-center agenda. Each vision derived energy from the other. The more Republicans pursued the uncompromising ideological agenda DeLay promoted, the more they strengthened the voices in the Democratic Party that opposed any cooperation with the GOP. The more Democratic activists pressured their party to pursue a scorched-earth opposition to the GOP, the more they strengthened the conservatives like DeLay who proclaimed it pointless to seek agreements with Democrats. DeLay and the Democratic Internet activists who gathered in Las Vegas could not have been more dissimilar in almost every possible respect. But each sought to reconfigure their political party to the same specifications— as a warrior party that would commit to opposing the other side with every conceivable means at its disposal. In that they were hardly alone. Among the most ardent activists in both parties, the only cause that attracted bipartisan support in the first years of the twenty-first century was the extermination of bipartisan cooperation. That reciprocal passion has produced a political environment marked by unstinting conflict between the parties and the virtual collapse of meaningful collaboration between them. What this unrelenting polarization of political life means for the parties, the electoral system, and the country is the subject of this book.What has not so far been taken seriously is the benefits to both sides of the partisan divide if America did split. The loudest voices in both parties now have different concepts of religion, foreign policy, the role of government, farm policies, civil liberties and even entertainment choices. Should Blue states forever subsidize the massive farms, the new plantations, of the Red States? Should the Red States continue to lead us into illegal and unnecessary wars? Can we remain this deeply divided over evolution and the role of church and government?
Unfortunately one thing that a state separation doesn't show is the deep partisan divisions that exist on many issues within the states as well. If the United States was divided there would remain large underground movements within each side supporting the other.
America may this century have to make a choice of reducing partisanship or splitting. The other possibility is a serious collapse of the old order where one side gets so discredited it will take a generation or longer to regain national power. That is the situation that occurred in the few years after the Great Depression began. Is it starting to occur again?
Amazon - The Second Civil War: How Extreme Partisanship Has Paralyzed Washington and Polarized America
A review in the NYT.
Brownstein skillfully and convincingly recounts the process by which the conservative movement gained control of the Republican Party and its Congressional delegation. He is especially deft at identifying the institutional and procedural tools that the most conservative wing of the party used after 2000 both to vanquish Republican moderates and to limit the ability of the Democratic minority to participate meaningfully in the legislative process. He is less successful (and somewhat halfhearted) in making the case for a comparable ideological homogeneity among the Democrats, as becomes clear in the book's opening passage. Brownstein appropriately cites the former House Republican leader Tom DeLay's farewell speech in 2006 as a sign of his party's recent strategy. DeLay ridiculed those who complained about "bitter, divisive partisan rancor." Partisanship, he stated, "is not a symptom of democracy's weakness but of its health and its strength."A Second NYT opinion.
But making the same argument about a similar dogmatism and zealotry among Democrats is a considerable stretch. To make this case, Brownstein cites not an elected official (let alone a Congressional leader), but the readers of the Daily Kos, a popular left-wing/libertarian Web site that promotes what Brownstein calls "a scorched-earth opposition to the G.O.P."
In contemplating the possibility of building a political system that would be "less confrontational and more productive than today's," Mr. Brownstein explores a host of suggestions, including term limits for Supreme Court justices, the opening of all party primaries to independents, and the formation of a viable third party. Some of these suggestions may seem unrealistic, given the current state of politics. But the low approval rates for both the Bush White House and the Democratic-controlled Congress, combined with a growing conviction that the country is now off-track (an ABC News/Washington Post poll this month showed that 74 percent of Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction), attest to the public's dissatisfaction with legislative gridlock and poisonous fights over national security, social issues and Supreme Court appointments.Should the activists on both sides give up and move to more hospitable states? Or should both sides continue to fight in the United States for the triumph of their beliefs? When you see the other side as fundamentally misguided and wrong and cannot even agree on the facts of history much less the meaning is their hope for compromises?
In the long term, Mr. Brownstein writes toward the end of this sobering book, "the party that seeks to encompass and harmonize the widest range of interests and perspectives is the one most likely to thrive. The overriding lesson for both parties from the Bush attempt to profit from polarization is that there remains no way to achieve lasting political power in a nation as diverse as America without assembling a broad coalition that locks arms to produce meaningful progress against the country's problems."

Living in Western Road, Ivybridge in the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses, yet the 1891 and 1911 censuses show their children as born in Ermington, although the 1901 census shows Ivybridge? Long important as a river crossing, and a good site to exploit water power in mills, Ivybridge only expanded in the C19th to become an ecclesiastical parish in 1835, and a civil parish in 1894. Hence when the children were born it was in Ivyrbridge within the civil parish of Ermington, but had become officially Ivybridge by 1901.
But if a new parish is created where do you consider you were born? - what it was when you were born or what it now is? The 1911 census reflects the latter viewpoint.

To all the Tops Bell Ringers Volunteers: T
THANK YOU! The volunteers had a good time, as well as, helping fill the Salvation Army kettle (we actually had to have it emptied in the afternoon as it could not hold any more money). We chatted and laughed, as well as, visited with people we know. I think everyone did a good job while having some fun.
Happy New Year.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy grew at a strong 4.2% annual rate in the April-June quarter, the best showing in nearly four years, as growth stayed on track to produce its strongest gain in more than a decade. Strength in business investment offset slightly slower consumer spending.
The Commerce Department on Aug. 29 revised up its estimate of growth for last quarter from an initial estimate of a 4.1% annual rate. The second quarter marked a sharp improvement from a 2.2% gain in the January-March period, though some of the strength last quarter came from temporary factors, including a surge in U.S exports before tariffs were to take effect.
Economists expect growth to slow to a still solid 3% annual rate the rest of the year, resulting in full-year growth of 3% for 2018, which would be the best performance since 2005, two years before the Great Recession began.
The 4.2% annual growth that the government estimated for last quarter is the strongest figure since a 4.3% annual gain in the third quarter of 2014. The expectation of 3 % growth for the entire year would be up from gains of 1.6% in 2016 and 2.2% last year.
Since the recovery began in mid-2009, growth has been subpar, with annual gains averaging just 2.2%, making this the weakest recovery in the post-war period.
President Donald Trump often pointed to that fact during the 2016 presidential campaign to attack the economic record of the Obama administration He has touted the recent pickup in GDP as evidence that his economic program of tax cuts, deregulation and tougher enforcement of trade agreements is working. Last month, Trump proclaimed that the GDP figure showed that the United States was now the "economy envy of the world."
While forecasting solid growth around 3% this year, economists contend that this performance is being pumped up by the $1.5 trillion tax cut Trump pushed through Congress last year along with increased government spending. Most analysts say they think those factors will begin to fade starting next year and that by 2020, growth may even slow enough to edge the economy close to a possible recession.
The Trump administration rejects that outlook, arguing that its policies will unleash an economic boom that will produce annual growth of 3% or better over the next decade.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, in a CNBC interview on Aug. 28, pointed to the solid GDP performance in the spring as evidence that the administration is fulfilling Trump's campaign promises regarding the economy.
"We are delivering on what was the president's economic agenda about creating growth," Mnuchin said.
The GDP report Aug. 29 showed that consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of economic activity, expanded at a strong annual rate of 3.8% in the second quarter, down slightly from an initial estimate of 4% growth in consumer spending. But that downward revision was outweighed by other factors including stronger business investment, which grew at a 6.2% rate, driven by spending on such items as computer software.
Other sources of strength were less growth in imports, which subtract from GDP, and faster growth in government spending at the federal and state and local levels.

We would like to increase the level of our evangelism by partnering with other faith based organizations to provide long-term outreach in the areas of continuous in-person outreach and support utilizing print, digital and media technology along with access to local churches, prayer lines and street ministries.

Succinct ServiceNow
Webinar: Monitor ServiceNow from SCOM
"Tim in accounts can't access ServiceNow" you hear Joe the Line 2 technician who sits behind you say, you fire up a web browser and navigate to your ServiceNow instance – it works, you navigate to ServiceNow's uptime statistics and see no blips/downtime reported … user error? intermittent network blip? issue for the finance team? You guess its likely a user error (Tim isn't the best with technology) and leave it to Joe. Nothing the monitoring team can help with, time to get a tea.
After a chat with Barbra from marketing at the coffee machine you get back to a very busy IT department – It sounds like half the company can't access ServiceNow! You crack open the SCOM console "just in case" and see if there are any alerts – nothing to see. Time for a biscuit.
After several hours it turns out Dave from the network team "made a few firewall changes" at the Frankfurt office at the time of the outage without an approved change window. After dealing with Dave *sigh … Dave!* your boss swings by your desk to ask why your monitoring team didn't pick up the issue.
Sound familiar?
While there are many reasons why this outage could have been caused and many points you could have monitored to detect the impact of dodgy Dave's change (monitoring the firewalls for example), often in-depth network monitoring simply isn't realistic – it requires bespoke management packs for SCOM and/or network monitoring tooling which doesn't come cheap.
The solution? Register for our webinar to learn how to monitor ServiceNow for free from SCOM!
Register for our webinar – 18-Dec @ 3pm GMT / 10am EST
Find out how SCOM can help with free outside in monitoring for ServiceNow so you can see what your end users see and get a deeper insight on your ServiceNow instances performance over time with over vital 30 performance counters
Find out how to get ahead of your boss and shine a light on issues such as this with your existing tooling
Tricks with the ServiceNow Filter Navigator
The filter navigator sites in the top left modestly heading up the table of options. Until recently I've been using it to just filter the list below, then, someone introduced me to a couple of other cool commands you can run.
Table based commands
The below six functions are all run against a table, for my examples I've uses sys_user, but any table can be used. I was able to find the New York documentation for this functionality here if you'd like more details.
Loading item in the same window?
|Loads a list of all sys_user records
|Opens the form view for a new sys_user record
|Opens the configuration view of the sys_user table
Want to open this in a new window?
|A new window of all sys_user records
|A new window for a new sys_user record
|A new window for configuration of the sys_user table

Identification and Reconciliation
90 seconds with ServiceNow's Identification and Reconciliation engine, a key tool to your complete CMDB.
Configuration data is spread enterprise-wide, spanning multiple systems and sources, each with its strengths and weaknesses. To create a centralized database that can be used confidently by all teams this cornucopia of data needs to be pruned, consolidated, and maintained.
After you realize the benefits of the framework, there is no turning back.Johnny Walker, https://www.acorio.com/servicenow-cmdb-transforms/
CMDB Challenges
- Duplicate entries are distracting and unhelpful
- Multiple sources contribute to a single configuration item
- Data source quality can vary greatly
- Relationships should have some structure
Cue the Identification and Reconciliation Engine (IRE). This out-of-the-box functionality can achieve all of the above with customizable settings to match your environment. To over-simplify configuration and functionality, we will pretend IRE is a new employee taking care of our CMDB, their instructions for SERVERS are below.
- To match information to the correct server:
- The FQDN must be identical, or
- The MAC address and Serial Number match, or
- A ServiceNow CI SysId works great too
- We like as much information as possible, however when updating CIs:
- Nothing should overwrite human-entered data
- SCCM or SolarWinds have the same priority, keep whichever is recent
- Active Directory data is more trusted than SCCM or SolarWinds
- Data from our scripts is the least trusted
- Server host many other items, when connecting them remember:
- Websites can't exist without a server
- A server can optionally contain SQL databases
- The server network should match a subnet we already have
Don't forget to tell IRE there are another 300 CI types after that…

Who dares slap Prescott?
Hold up! Before you read on, please read this...
This post was published more than 13 years ago
I keep old posts on the site because I often enjoy reading old content on other people's sites. It can be interesting to see how views have changed over time: for example, how my strident teenage views have, to put it mildly, mellowed.
I'm not a believer in brushing the past under the carpet. I've written some offensive rubbish on here in the past: deleting it and pretending it never happened doesn't change that. I hope that stumbling across something that's 13 years old won't offend anyone anew, because I hope that people can understand that what I thought and felt and wrote about then is probably very different to what I think and feel and write about now. It's a relic of an (albeit recent) bygone era.
So, given the age of this post, please bear in mind:
- My views may well have changed in the last 13 years. I have written some very silly things over the years, many of which I find utterly cringeworthy today.
- This post might use words or language in ways which I would now consider highly inappropriate, offensive, embarrassing, or all three.
- Factual information might be outdated.
- Links might be broken, and embedded material might not appear properly.
Okay. Consider yourself duly warned. Read on...
The Right Honourable John Leslie Prescott is to have his wrists slapped for staying at Philip Anschutz's ranch and failing to declare an interest (until bullied into it, of course). My question: Who's going to do the slapping? Given Mr Prescott's history of, err, hands-on politics (and no, not hands on that!), who is going to stand there and give him a good slapping?
Those unfamiliar with Westminster disciplinary proceedings may be somewhat lost, assuming 'slapped wrists' is merely a figure of speech. They would be wrong. The system works thusly:
- Horrendous, intolerable offences, like taking a two-week part time job whilst not in cabinet without consulting the correct committee are punishable with immediate sacking.
- Major offences like disagreeing with the Prime Minister is treated to a humiliating 'You've let me down, you've let the Party down, and most of all, you've let yourself down' speech until eventually you feel forced out of the clique and out of the cabinet.
- If you're a little bit naughty and abuse your power by sleeping with your secretary, you go over the PM's knee and have a couple of departments taken off you, but keep your job, salary, and perks.
- If you do something minor, like accepting gifts and holidays from someone before then giving them governmental support (let's just call it being generally corrupt), then you get a quick slap on the wrist.
- If you do something barely worth mentioning, like, y'know, lying to Parliament or starting an illegal war, then that's just brushed under the carpet.
See, it all makes perfect sense. All we need now is someone good at ducking!

Review: Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet - Darynda Jones
Sometimes being the grim reaper really is, well, grim. And since Charley's last case went so awry, she has taken a couple of months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep, convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to pull herself together.
In the meantime, the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, is out of prison and out of Charley's life, as per her wishes and several perfectly timed death threats. But his absence has put a serious crimp in her sex life. While there are other things to consider, like the fact that the city of Albuquerque has been taken hostage by an arsonist, Charley is having a difficult time staying away. Especially when it looks like Reyes may be involved.
Just when life was returning to normal, Charley is thrust back into the world of crime, punishment and the devil in blue jeans in this hilarious fourth instalment in the New York Times bestselling series.

Visit Darynda Jones' website for more information
We get to see a very different side to Charley in this book, it's been several months since she was tortured so physically she's fully recovered but emotionally not so much. She's avoiding all her friends and family, hasn't left her apartment in weeks and has a scary new addiction to the shopping channels that has wiped out pretty much all of her savings. Cookie and Gemma have both been doing their best to get through to her but she has a long way to go before she's back to her normal self.
She's not really interested in taking any PI work but a girl can't eat if she doesn't pay the bills so it's time to accept a new job. Her latest case involves a woman who is convinced someone is trying to kill her and is desperate for help and tracking down a would be murderer might just be enough to pull Charley out of the hole she's fallen into.
I've always liked Charley, I appreciate that she's usually so willing to put herself in danger to protect the people she cares about and I'm enjoying learning about her grim reaper abilities but it was really interesting to see a more vulnerable side to her in this book. She's had to deal with so much recently that it was bound to take a toll on her and it was hard to see her feeling so lost and alone. She has a great support system thanks to her best friend Cookie and I'm glad that she's starting to build a relationship with her sister now too. I'm still not happy with her dad though, he's done so much to hurt her that he's got a lot of making up to do before I'll forgive him.
Reyes is out of prison but he's keeping his distance and isn't exactly on speaking terms with Charley. Things are really complicated between them and we're only starting to uncover some of his secrets but I can't wait to dig a little deeper. He does do some very questionable things but he seems to have Charley's best interests at heart and he is doing his best to protect her. I love the interactions we get between the two of them and that we start seeing some depth to their relationship here, the attraction has been there from the beginning but Reyes has been hiding so much for such a long time that it's about time he started opening up a bit.
I'm really enjoying this series and looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Bear Lincoln- The News
Absolute jam hot off the presses.
Closing out this dreary Tuesday afternoon is up and coming Bay area rockers, Bear Lincoln with their brand new, just released single "The News".
The debut single off of their upcoming record, "The News" can be summed up in one word: Incredamazesome. Ok, maybe that is just several words combined to make one, but you get the gist. Combining a catchy, up-beat, get on your feet and dance melody with a powerful horn section, Bear Lincoln creates a mind-blowing single that will have your hands clapping and your feet moving.
There's something about this track that has me playing it on repeat, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe it's the upbeat melody, might be the powerful horns, could be the impressive vocals, or maybe it's just a combination of everything that creates such an epic track. Whatever it might be, "The News" delivers, no pun intended (Ok, yes pun intended).
Chances are that you probably have never heard of Bear Lincoln before. Several months ago we actually featured the Oakland based group here with their fantastic rendition of The Jungle Books "Wanna Be Like You". They impressed us back then and several months later they have done it again with "The News".
"The News" is just the first taste of what Bear Lincoln has in store for us on their new record, and let me say that this first taste was delicious. You can be sure that as more singles off this upcoming record get released you will find them here on The Undiscovered.
For more great music from Bear Lincoln, check out their SoundCloud page. To stay up to date on the release of their upcoming album, Like them on Facebook!
