James "Jim" McKeever (Irish: Séamas Mac Íomhair; born 1931) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer. He played for Derry in the late 1940s, 1950s and early 1960s and played club football for St. Trea's GFC Ballymaguigan and Seán O'Leary's GAC Newbridge. He was captain of the Derry side that finished runners-up to Dublin in the 1958 All-Ireland Championship.
McKeever was a very versatile player, evidenced by the fact he plays in all positions with the exception of goalkeeper and wing half back during his Derry career. He started out his inter-county career as a half-forward, but is chiefly remembered as a midfielder for both club and county and has been frequently described as "one of the greatest midfielders of all time". He was renowned for his high-fielding ability – described by Kerry legend Mick O'Connell as the best catcher he ever player against. Other skills in his repertoire include his surging runs forwards from midfield, shooting accuracy and free taking ability. McKeever was named in the Football Team of the Century comprising players who never won an All-Ireland. He played an "inspirational role" in helping put Derry on the GAA map.
The Planetary Society is a United States-based non-government, nonprofit organization that anyone may join. It is involved in research and engineering projects related to astronomy, planetary science, exploration, public outreach, and political advocacy. It was founded in 1980 by Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman, and has over 40,000 members from more than one hundred countries around the world.
The Society is dedicated to the exploration of the solar system, the search for Near Earth Objects, and the search for extraterrestrial life. The society's mission is stated as: "To empower the world's citizens to advance space science and exploration". The Planetary Society is also a strong advocate for space funding and missions of exploration within NASA. They actively lobby Congress and engage their membership in the United States to write and call their representatives in support of NASA funding.
In addition to public outreach, The Planetary Society also sponsors novel and innovative projects that will "seed" further exploration. Two of the highest profile programs are Lightsail and LIFE (Living Interplanetary Flight Experiment). Lightsail is a series of three solar sail experiments.LightSail-1 is expected to piggyback on a future NASA mission. In June 2005, the Society launched the Cosmos 1 craft to test the feasibility of solar sailing, but the rocket failed shortly after liftoff.

http://www.UpYourService.com http://www.RonKaufman.com Ron Kaufman discusses the importance of ‘uplifting service’ in an interesting podcast with Jim McKeever. He talks about delivering superior service all over the world: in classrooms, neighborhoods, and communities as well as in the commercial world of companies, departments and organizations. Ron explains the relevance and implementation value of a proven service architecture inside an organization with the help of example like Singapore Airlines, Changi Airport, Zappos, and many more.
