Ill prepared after his misspent youth, young Prince Hal must take on the mantle of king after the premature death of his father, King Henry IV. Counselors of Church and State, eager to advise, offer him war with France as an opportunity to cement loyalty to his throne but the new king discovers that leading a country challenges him intellectually, morally, personally and spiritually in ways he never imagined.

Over 400 years after it was first performed, Shakespeare's Henry V continues to ask the most important questions about what it means to be a leader of men and how deeply and complexly our humanity is challenged when we are called to such a task.

John Michael – Inevitable

As Topnotch artist John Michael preps the release of his new album Like A Drug on November 6th, he releases a new song from the project titled “Inevitable.”

A chill sexy tune produce by RicandThadeus, Michael sings of a future good time that’s a sure thing. “Baby put it on me, ride it don’t stop till you want me,” he sings.

Like a Drug also boast s the songs “Like A Drug” and “All You Gotta Say”, and follows up his previous project Sophisticated.

Recently on Twitter, Michael explained the meaning of the title and the proceess of the album's fruition:

“This new album Like A drug is made up of songs that really do show who I am as an artist right now. Contrary to popular belief the album title like a drug has a far different meaning than the song like a drug. I called he album like a drug because music, the music biz, the people u meet, special treatment, attention. It's all a drug to me. I chased it so long and when I got a little hit of that high it's hard to cope with anything else. U spend the rest of your life chasing that same first high. But it most likely will never feel like that again. But when u chase a high u start sacrificing any and everybody to get it. Music is no different. In pursuit of all that I went through one of the toughest years of my life in 2014. But I'm fortunate because unlike a lot of new artists I kept my head straight and took care of myself instead of hoping someone else would. Once the album cycle is over every artist is on their own until they can create new stuff. Luckily for me I run my own studio so I kept pumping out music in spite of what I was going through in 2014. 3 mixtapes. Now I'm here today stronger and better off than I ever have been financially and spiritually. All because I weathered the storm and now I can't wait til 11.6.15.”

Symptoms, Risk and Diagnosis

Testicular cancer forms in the cells of the testicles, glands that produce semen and sperm and are found just below the penis in the scrotum. It is the most common cancer in men 20 to 35 years old. The main goal at the Siteman Cancer Center is to get a correct diagnosis of your condition and decide what treatment is needed. Specialists here excel in using the technology and experience to make an accurate diagnosis, often down to the genetic level so the best treatment options may be identified.

Symptoms of Testicular Cancer

  • A painless lump or swelling in either testicle
  • A change in how the testicle feels
  • A dull ache in the lower abdomen or the groin
  • A sudden build-up of fluid in the scrotum
  • Pain or discomfort in a testicle or in the scrotum

Risk Factors

  • Having had an undescended testicle
  • Having had abnormal development of the testicles
  • Having a personal history of testicular cancer
  • Having a family history of testicular cancer (especially in a father or brother)
  • Being Caucasian

Diagnosing testicular cancer requires more than one approach.

The following tests and procedures may be used:

  1. Physical exam and history: The doctor reviews and examines the patient’s past illnesses and treatments and any signs of disease, lumps or tenderness in the testicle or other abnormalities.
  2. Ultrasound exam of the testicles: This painless procedure can show dense areas that may indicate a tumor.
  3. Serum tumor marker test: A sample of blood is examined to measure any increased amounts of certain substances called tumor markers that are released into the blood. Tumor markers used to detect testicular cancer include alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).
  4. Inguinal orchiectomy: This surgical procedure removes the entire testicle through an incision in the groin. A tissue sample from the testicle is then viewed under a microscope to check for cancer cells. That’s because if the surgeon were to cut through the scrotum into the testicle to remove a sample of tissue for biopsy, and cancer is present, it could cause the cancer to spread into the scrotum and lymph nodes

Staging of Testicular Cancer

Staging is ranked 0 through 3 and recurrent, meaning the cancer comes back after treatment, either in the other testicle or another part of the body. Because stage is an important factor in treatment options, additional testing to determine stage may include:

CT-PET Scan: This shows detailed pictures of organs to reveal cancer within the testicles if it is present and glucose uptake activity of tumor cells, which locates involvement with other organs or lymph nodes.

Abdominal lymph node dissection: This surgical procedure removes lymph nodes in the abdomen to obtain a sample of tissue to check under a microscope for signs of cancer. This procedure is also called lymphadenectomy. For patients with nonseminoma, removing the lymph nodes may help stop the spread of disease. Cancer cells in the lymph nodes of seminoma patients can be treated with radiation therapy.

Tumor marker levels are measured again after surgery in order to determine the stage of the cancer. It helps to show if all of the cancer has been removed or if more treatment is needed.

Whole Foods Is Sorry It Systematically Lied About Some of Its Prices

Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

Whole Foods, you might recall, is in the middle of a drastic rebranding. It’s working to transition from “whole paycheck” to “values matter,” and just last month announced a new line of stores designed specifically for millennials. So while it’s turning around and all, Whole Foods would also like to apologize for some things it did wrong—specifically, for systematically overcharging customers.

Yes, that’s right. Last week, the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs said it was conducting an ongoing investigation into local Whole Foods stores after finding that the chain had “routinely overstated the weights of of its pre-packaged products.” That was true of meats, of seafood, of dairy, and of baked goods. Basically, nothing pre-packaged was safe. In all, the Department of Consumer Affairs tested 80 different types of pre-packaged products and found that each had some items with mislabeled weights. On top of that, “89 percent of the packages tested did not meet the federal standard for the maximum amount that an individual package can deviate from the actual weight,” the department reported. Hence “systematic problem.”

Needless to say, the Department of Consumer Affairs wasn’t too pleased with this, nor can we imagine customers were once they found out. It also wasn’t the first time Whole Foods had been accused of iffy pricing practices. Last summer, Whole Foods agreed to pay $800,000 in California to settle an investigation of “statewide pricing inaccuracy.” In that case, investigators said Whole Foods had routinely failed to deduct the weight of self-serve food containers at checkout, labeled pre-packaged items as heavier than they actually were, and sold items per piece that it was legally required to sell by the pound. In New York City, Whole Foods faces fines of between $950 and $1,700 per mislabeling violation, and the Department of Consumer Affairs says there could be thousands of them.

It seems unlikely that Whole Foods will be able to get out of some sort of monetary penalty for its pricing mishaps in New York. But if nothing else, the company’s executives want you, potential Whole Foods shopper, to know that they are really, truly sorry. “Straight up, we made some mistakes, and we want to own that and tell you what we’re doing about it,” Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb says in a video released Wednesday. That said, he and co-CEO John Mackey also want you to know that—really, truly—it was all a big misunderstanding. “We know they’re unintentional because the mistakes are both in the customer’s favor, and sometimes not in the customer’s favor,” Robb continues. “It’s understandable that sometimes mistakes are made. They’re inadvertent. They do happen. Because it’s a hands-on approach to bringing you the fresh food.”

Robb and Mackey say they’re going to beef up training in stores to avoid future mistakes, as well as implement a third-party auditing system. In 45 days, they’re going to report progress to customers. Whole Foods is also encouraging customers to ask at checkout if they think they’ve found a labeling mistake; if there is one that hurts the customer, they’ll get the item for free. And then at Whole Foods all will be well, and this entire incident will be forgotten. Because at Whole Foods, values matter.

Future Tense

When Does Flagging False Content on Social Media Backfire?

A new study offers some answers.

A red iPhone is held by two hands over a quilt.
Tim Mossholder/Unsplash

In the past few months, social media companies have scrambled to address the misinformation tearing through their platforms—first about the election, then the coronavirus. Twitter has started using manipulated media labels. Facebook has been more aggressively removing harmful content and flagging false news. This week, YouTube announced that it will add information panels to searches in the U.S. that might bring up misinformation.

At the heart of these measures is fact checking. At Facebook, the “epicenter of misinformation,” an expanding network of professional fact checkers is sifting through the site’s posts to slap warning labels on false content. At first glance, these efforts appear uniformly good. But what’s the psychology behind those flags? How effective are they? And do red flags ever embolden the very users they’re meant to deter?

A study published this month by researchers at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering and the University of Indiana sought to answer these questions. The researchers found that credibility indicators, or flags, can reduce users’ intentions to share fake content on social media regardless of political orientation. In short, fact-checking sources are overwhelmingly trusted. Yet the more nuanced conclusion is that the effect of these flags varies significantly based on gender and political orientation: Men are more 1.5 times more likely to share news that’s been flagged as false, the study concluded, while Republicans are much more inclined to disseminate that news than Democrats or independents.

The findings were based on an online study with 1,500 participants in the U.S. These participants saw 12 true, false, and satirical headlines marked with one of four types of credibility indicators: warnings that came from fact checkers, news media, the public, or artificial intelligence. Then, they were asked if they would share the article with friends. (The indicators from fact checkers and A.I. are the most relevant to current social media policies. Facebook, for instance, has used A.I.  to spot hoaxes copied and pasted by different accounts.)

An example of one of the headlines in the study. It reads "Coiled mattresses cause cancer by amplifying radio waves," with "Multiple fact-checking journalists dispute the credibility of this news" underneath.
An example of a “credibility indicator” by fact checkers in the study. Proceedings of the 2020 ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

The most effective indicator by far was fact checkers. Participants intended to share 43 percent fewer headlines that were marked untrue by fact checkers: 61 percent fewer for Democrats, compared with 40 percent for independents and 19 percent for Republicans. As for A.I., Democrats intended to share 40 percent fewer untrue headlines with the A.I. indicator, versus 16 percent for independents. Notably, Republicans said they would share 8 percent more untrue news with the AI indicator. “We were not expecting that, although conservatives may tend to trust more traditional means of flagging the veracity of news,” said Sameer Patil, a co-author of the study, in a press release.

Admittedly, this is just one study, but it’s important for two reasons. First, it provides further evidence that the “backfire effect,” or the idea that fact-based corrections may actually reinforce false beliefs, isn’t as serious as some researchers have believed. Over the past decade, understanding around the effects of flagging misinformation has shifted away from the backfire effect, which was popularized by a 2010 study. But the concerns over the effect has lingered. Facebook itself noted that “[a]cademic research on correcting misinformation has shown that putting a strong image, like a red flag, next to an article may actually entrench deeply held beliefs,” when it temporarily ditched the disputed flag in 2017. The general findings of the new study align with a 2019 study by Paul Mena, a lecturer at the University of California, Santa Barbara, who also concluded that warning labels may indeed disincentivize Facebook users from sharing fake news.

Second, the new research also provides insight into how partisanship and demographics affect misinformation campaigns—an area that’s so far been understudied. However, its conclusions should be taken with a grain of salt. The paper itself acknowledged the limitations of generalizing from this research, especially since even though they “carefully worded the indicators in a politically neutral way … [they] cannot rule out the influence of inherent systemic political biases regarding technology or the media.”

That said, this research aligns with a 2019 study that also found that during the 2016 presidential election campaign, 18 percent of Republicans shared links to fake news sites, compared to less than 4 percent of Democrats. Yet the 2019 study similarly cautioned against associating ideology with a predisposition to share false content, since most fake news circling during the campaign was pro-Trump or anti-Clinton. In Mena’s study, which did not focus on political affiliation and controlled for political leaning, Democrats were actually more likely to share false news with or without a warning label—though Republicans’ behavior was less affected by these labels. But Mena told me that this outcome likely resulted from the headlines he used being more ideologically attractive to Democrats, since the majority of his participants were Democrats. “More research is needed,” he said. “A possible explanation would be that the observed effect of political affiliation depends on the topic of the false news story.”

Regardless of the effects of partisanship, the new study’s findings are positive. In his 2019 study, Mena confirmed evidence of the “third-person effect,” where people believe that others are more likely to share false news—with or without flags—than themselves; essentially, we tend to overestimate the effects of misinformation on others. Ultimately, the new study only further shows that while people generally tend to have negative opinions of others’ gullibility or intentions, a much smaller percentage of people will share hoaxes when they’re flagged. Which is to say that Facebook and other social media sites should continue to moderate and mark their content, especially when large swaths of misinformation amid the current infodemic go undetected (and even look potentially more trustworthy without a label). As Patil pointed out, making fact checkers efficient enough to tackle the current scale of falsities floating around might require greater use of artificial intelligence moderators. “This could include applying fact checks to only the most-needed content, which might involve applying natural language algorithms. So, it is a question, broadly speaking, of how humans and AI could co-exist,” he said.

US orchestra returns from the dead with Mahler’s Resurection

Good news from the graveyard shift.

Last August we reported that Sacramento had lost both its orchestra and opera company, leaving the state capital of California dry of classical music.

Now, a team from the Detroit Symphony has found a way to bring them back.

  • It’s hard not to have a good feeling about this (Mahler via Detroit to the rescue!). Not quite a genuine sigh of relief yet, but what a terrific effort. Bravo to the interim appointees who put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

  • The UK has one full time orchestra for every 3.2 million people. At that rate, California would have 12 fulltime orchestras. Germany has one fulltime orchestra for every 616,000 people. At that rate California would have 62 fulltime orchestras. If California had the same number of opera houses per capita as Germany it would have 38. In reality, California has 2 full time orchestras, one half time opera in San Francisco, and a smattering of opera in performed piecemeal in LA and other cities.

    A person from the DSO is also managing the New Mexico Philharmonic after its predecessor, the New Mexico Symphony folded. The NMP now has a tiny budget for a metro area of almost 1 million people.

    Given the problems the DSO has had, its low budget for an orchestra of a major industrial city, and that the Detroit is in the process of bulldozing 40 square miles of abandoned buildings due to economic and social neglect, the DSO has become the perfect arts management training ground for American classical music culture. They should call themselves “Wasteland Arts Management.” Their motto could be, “We”ll make your dead orchestra walk again…or at least crawl.”

    In short, no amount of clever Wasteland Management will make up for the lack of public funding for the arts.

  • It is incredibly condescending to state that there “should” be an orchestra for any given number of people. What about demographics/Ethnographics/habits/cultural differences?

    Can you imagine the chinese stating there should be a given number of Pipa players per capita around the world? What makes ‘classical music’ so inherently ‘better’ than chinese music, andean music, indian music, and other musical genres that are in fact much more ancient than ‘classical’? Its patronizing, and that’s why people are not buying it.

    Personally, I dont care if Sacramento has 20 million people, there’s no ‘NEED’ for an orchestra. There’s a need for the Arts, and these can be (and I am sure they are) promoted through a pallete of mediums, not exclusively classical music.

    It’s already been pointed out that recently bankrupt “Detroit” symphony now has ‘consultants’ (do they even know the meaning of the word??) that will save these orchestras. It sounds more like a way for a group of people to make their friends make some money rather than “promote’ the arts.

    • Your argument would be fine if California (and the USA) had some form of intelligent art to replace classical music, but it doesn’t. As it is, the attitude of American exceptionalism that claims it doesn’t need a representation of classical music more-or-less in line with international standards is what is arrogant, close-minded, and condescending. I hate to have to tell you that American’s ain’t that unique and special…

      Even American forms such as jazz have been better supported in Europe for decades. Germany for example has 5 full time, state radio big bands. The USA has zero. There is not a single full time big band left in the country. (There are some military big bands, but they are soldiers first and musicians second.) Now tell us that jazz isn’t an American art form, and that we have no “NEED” for it…

Hmmm… Grocery Store or the Magic Kingdom?

Sources: Globest

Oh, the choices, the choices.

As I write this, plans are all set re-open Disney World this weekend. This is happening as Florida is suffering from an increase in COVID-19 infections. As you might recall, our state was one of the early pioneers to re-open its economy back in late April. While those namby-pambys up in New England wasted valuable time — sans haircuts, manicures, and pedicures — we here in the Sunshine State all cleaned up early and looked absolutely fabulous in time for our re-opening. If there’s a price to pay in the pursuit of happiness, you’ll definitely find it here in the south at the moment.

By now we’ve all seen quite enough of the video antics of those weirdly-monikered Karens and Kens, who openly mock and flaunt the advisories of public health officials. But what does it mean when your own governor basically chooses to join that chorus too, albeit in a more restrained way? Florida governor Ron DeSantis has a different approach to “We are all in this together.”

Instead of cautioning state residents, DeSantis is one of Disney’s biggest cheerleaders for their re-opening. He believes that by opening safely — yes, yes, wear a mask and distance if you wish — the state’s economy can continue to rebound, and Florida can show the nation just what a hearty and savvy bunch we are. Or he is. Or we are. Well, you get the point.

And speaking of savvy, you’ve really got to hand it to the governor for keeping the actual statistics of COVID-related hospitalizations completely under wraps. Unlike other states, Florida is not reporting the number of people currently being treated in its hospitals. Just as the President would rather we not see his tax returns, Governor DeSantis wants to keep secret the number of people being treated in hospitals. Transparency is cumbersome.

Needless to say, I have no plans to visit Disney World anytime soon. In fact, neither will a fair number of people who actually have jobs there. The Actors’ Equity union, which represents over 750 performers, reports that Disney rescinded recall notices after failing to come to agreement with union negotiators on a request for COVID-19 tests for all performers.

Oh, Mickey. Say it ain’t so.

Before I completely leave the subject of Mr. DeSantis, I would be remiss if I didn’t share this one last anecdote: As the topic of school openings in the U.S. dominates the news lately, the good Florida governor has let it be known that he stands firmly on the side of opening up the schools this fall. Last week he said, “If Walmart and Home Depot are open, schools should be, too.” He’s right, of course. Kids in Florida will soon be able to understand just how thin that line is between learnin’ and spendin’.

So how does this all affect your humble blogger? It doesn’t, other than the fact that I live here and am no doubt walking past people in grocery aisles who will soon travel to Orlando, or will have kids starting school in about four weeks.

We’re all in this together, indeed. I do hope someone buys me a t-shirt.

New Yorkers, by the way, are doing comparatively well. Remember when states were being asked to send ventilators to them back in April? Well, the tide has sure changed. Just this week Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that he is directing his state health officials to send the drug Remdesivir to medical authorities in Florida as a help with our surge in cases. Thank you, New York.

By about this time, I think most of us had hoped that things might be better than they are presently. The stay-at-home orders of March and April were done so that by perhaps mid-to-late summer we might all be able to enjoy picnics with friends, meals at restaurants, and maybe even a road trip to see family. Heck, I even had a challenge from Judy at New England Garden and Thread on which of us would be the first to go out for a haircut (she won; I’ve not gone near a barbershop). Of course, one can do all of those things right now if he/she wants. But I’m just not comfortable in doing so.

Thankfully, though, it’s not all doom and gloom at the moment…

I’ve been able continue with my part-time job once a week because up to 90% or more of the employees at those firms remain working from home. This allows me to work alone and really not be in proximity to anyone else…

Out of the blue, my nephews decided that they wanted to do a bit of genealogical sleuthing about their grandparents. So I’ve been scanning documents such as birth certificates and army discharge papers for their assistance. One of them follows up with occasional questions, and this too has been a pleasant surprise…

Also, the local fish market here opened up! They’ve instituted some safe practices, including taking orders from those queuing outside, plus a rule of no more than three customers inside the store at any one time. It is wonderful to have tasty, fresh fish and seafood again…

Finally, while I’m still not at all interested in venturing into a barbershop, my lovely bride has been more than happy to wield the clippers and offer me a shearing. I’m pretty sure that this is the first time I’ve ever felt up a barber.

I probably should do better with the tip.

So folks, I know many in my state would probably disagree with me on this point, and that surely would include Mr. DeSantis too. But I am requesting of you the following: Stay the hell away! You really don’t want to experience the Magic Kingdom right now. Just stay home. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and even Goofy, G-d willing, will all be here next year. Come then, hopefully after a vaccine is available.

In the meantime, make the right choices, and remember to follow my adopted Irish Granny’s admonition about following the rules.

Until next time…

  1. You crack me up! I gave my husband a trim and I didn’t get a tip… don’t remember getting felt up either. We have been getting some marvelous – and reasonably priced – fresh fish. The boats are coming in with fish that would normally be sold to restaurants. Opah, albacore and ahi for $5 – $10 a pound. The only bummer is that we don’t have a larger freezer.

    No worries about me coming to Florida… you guys are nuts.

    1. Nuts and then some, Janis! You know, I think you’re onto something about the fish prices. This is the third time in a row I’ve gone where they’ve weighed the piece, and then charged me less. And all this time I thought it was my handsome, masked face. 🤨

    Yeah, thanks Ron for screwing the trip to Ft. Lauderdale I was hopeful to be able to take to visit my sister this September. And special thanks to beach and bar partiers everywhere. Back to square one. I have to admit, I’m addicted to the videos of Karen’s and Kens having meltdowns. I just can’t look away. I wish someone would do a compilation of them. I’ve never seen so many people lose their s**t over something so minor.
    Btw, Gorgeous did a magnificent job on your hair! Is there nothing that woman can’t do (besides not being able to stop buying stuff online)?

      So sorry to hear about your scuttled plans. I guess we have to go back to WWII society to see a country pull together. I’ll make a point to read Tom Brokaw’s book someday. In the meantime, I’ve had enough of those Karen’s. You watch for me. 😁

  3. Greetings from New England and all of us namby-pambys. 🙂 An interesting side effect of the stat increases in your state and others is that more people here are wearing face coverings. Of course, we have our Karens and Kens, but in general when I go to the store most have face coverings. I actually got my second hair cut this week with the same massive cleaning process going on there and an involved appointment process. I didn’t touch the stylist, but I did leave her a big fat tip. 🙂 I wouldn’t go to a place like Disney World if they paid me. Remember when this started and we were all concerned about a surge in the fall? We sure didn’t have to wait that long did we. Stay well and thank your nephews for the opportunity to tip toe through good family memories.

    1. Indeed, Judy. My “hopes” of summer picnics, etc. were hyperbole only. You are correct that a fall resurgence (I guess the so-called second wave) was always in the cards. Whenever I drive by my haircut joint, there is a sign on the door warning about wearing a mask. For Florida, that’s progress. 🙂

      In fairness, I believe that was the lieutenant governor of Texas who made that brainy remark. But honestly, they voted him in, so that’s scary enough!

  6. South Carolina is your silent cousin…same mentality, just not in-your-face defiant about it all – from the very beginning with the governor’s “If you’re home, stay home. If you’re at work stay at work.” valiant declaration as proof of his COVID ‘action’. Much of this second wave (it never receeded IMHO) can be traced to all things Myrtle Beach…hmmm even to places as far away from here as Maine and Michigan. In reality, Florida’s taking the rap for all of the silent South…I wish they’d all just ‘man-up’.
    Anyway as for Mickey, he should be ashamed, that’s all I’ll say on that.

    Thanks for a safe place to speak my piece, Marty, I knew you’d understand.

    1. The “silent South” indeed, Laura. As usual, your observations are spot-on here. The only difference between DeSantis and the other governors is that he’s merely more outspoken. Otherwise, it’s basically more of the same outlooks and policies (i.e., “it’s all because of more testing!“).

      Oh, that granny. She’s a gem, isn’t she?

I can’t believe a state can enforce a 14 day quarantine if I travel there!! It’s definitely becoming easier to just stay home.

    1. I’ve wondered about the enforcement too. With so many people they must have to keep track of, I do wonder if it’s still primarily a “scout’s honor” type of compliance. Nevertheless, your last thought is the best one: just stay home!

  10. Nope, not coming to Florida anytime soon! Our state, although numbers are slightly increasing is basically stable. My county has few new cases and fewer deaths. I’ll stay here for the duration. A good friend’s son lives in Florida and he came down with it. Was sick for 3 weeks but has recovered. He’s in his early 30’s. They are hoping there are no residual consequences.

  11. Marty, I wish I could give you the Fairy Godmother’s wand so you could whack some sense into the powers that be.

    We are huge lovers of seafood around here. I have been hearing about an excess of spot prawns and I will investigate tomorrow. Fresh halibut always a treat.

    Gorgeous is doing a wonderful job as a barber. My husband won’t let me near him even though I have watched the You-tube videos. He used to get exceptionally short haircuts. My brother now calls him “the hippy.” Stay safe!

    1. Erica, when I retired I immediately went down to a brush cut. It felt so good not to think about grooming anymore! So Gorgeous bought a clipper, and I guess that was pretty easy since all of it came off. So she’s using those same clippers now, but it’s tricker because I don’t want the brush cut anymore. 🙂

  12. I’m late to the comments, but I like your haircut. It’s fetching, as they used to say. I think about all the people who I know in FL and I wonder how you keep your sanity with that governor of yours. Ours is a goof, but not quite as far off the deep end. Stay safe.

  13. I just found your blog and love it. I have family in Florida and I live in NY and am a Kindergarten teacher – we have been told we will be going back this year too, right now but not sure for how long. I gave my husband a haircut too and all I got was critiqued. I’m asking for a tip!

    1. I hope they keep you home and do virtual learning for quite some time yet. Teachers need to be protected! Yes, husband’s should lighten up about such things– and certainly give more of a tip than what I gave. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by and reading!

Quebec’s AD Boivin has one entry in the Performance class this year, the Top Gun.

The front and rear suspensions are the same as last year, but the machine got a heart transplant: it now uses the Rotax 800 H.O. PowerTEK engine.

The 800 puts out 140 hp, 25 hp more than the Rotax 600 H.O. engine used last year. It has a single tuned pipe with twin flat-slide carbs.

For the clutch, there’s a TRA III drive and a new HPV VSA 10 driven clutch with a dry cog belt.

The track also grew in length for this year up to 136 inches long and 12 inches wide. The lug height it 2.25 inches.

It’s a tall machine at 48 inches, 32.5 inches wide and 105 inches long. The narrow track has rounded edges for cornering.

The Snow Hawk, which is trail-legal, offers a unique ride compared to the traditional snowmobile. Its feel is much more like a motocross bike.

Front Suspension: Paioli Inverted Fork; Travel: 12 inches; Rear Suspension: Expert Xtreme; Shocks/Travel: KYB rebuildable gas/16 inches; Features: The front suspension is a motocross-style fork and the rear is AD Boivin’s proprietary suspension.

Rotax 800 HO

This engine, made for Ski-Doo, is 799 cc. It creates 140 hp at 8100 rpm. It’s a two-cylinder, liquid-cooled two-stroke. It gives the machine a high power to weight ratio.

Using DPM to backup both Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2013 server RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi Everyone,

    We are starting a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.  During the migration we will need to back up both Exchange servers.

    Exchange 2007 and 2013 use different versions of ese.dll and eseutil.exe.  Documentation says the files from the newest Exchange server need to be copied to the DPM server.

    I copied the files over and almost immediately the Recovery point creation failed for the Exchange 2007 server.  I haven't created the protection group yet for the 2013 server.  I tried to manually kick off a Recovery Point on a failed Storage Group and it started a synchronization and then complained that the Replica was inconsistent and started a verification.  The verification is still in progress.

    Is a single DPM server capable of backing up both an Exchange 2007 and 2013 server?  Is there a trick to it?  I am having a hard time finding documentation.

    Thursday, March 17, 2016 10:08 PM

All replies

  • Well, after that moment of panic, I installed the Visual C++ 2012 Redistributables on the DPM server and DPM isn't complaining anymore.

    If anyone has experience that says it does work, doesn't work or should work, that would be great.

    Thanks again.

Greece sees first day that no refugees, migrants arrive by sea

Written by on April 8, 2016 in Europe - Comments Off on Greece sees first day that no refugees, migrants arrive by sea

On April 5, not one migrant or refugee arrived by sea in Greece, the first day that this has been recorded since last year, the Greek Coast Guard said.

The fact, coming a day after the planned start of deportations of migrants from Greece to Turkey in terms of the deal agreed between Brussels and Ankara, is recorded in the latest report by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) for the period up to April 6.

IOM also noted a significant decrease in the number of arrivals by sea in Greece – 1758 men, women and children arrived between March 31 and April 6.

The organisation said that this sum was about the number of arrivals per day in January, February and March. The figure was significantly lower than that of two weeks ago, when there were 5293 arrivals by sea.

As of April 6 2016, cumulative arrivals in Greece by sea for 2016 added up to 152 461, with 914 arriving by land, according to IOM.

The Greek Coast Guard reports that the number of unaccompanied minors arriving on the Greek island of Lesbos in the first quarter of 2016 was 537. This compares to 750 unaccompanied minors arriving on Lesbos through all of 2015.

Of the people arriving by sea in Greece in January – March 2016, a total of 73 179 were from Syria, 38 534 from Afghanistan, 23 445 from Iraq, 5317 from Pakistan and 4467 from Iran, IOM said.

Meanwhile arrivals in Italy for 2016 have increased to 19 322 – about 1000 since this time last week, IOM said.

On April 7, the Italian Coast Guard rescued 314 migrants from a fishing boat in the Maltese Search and Rescue zone reportedly sailing from Egypt.

IOM Rome reported they were brought to Crotone (Calabria). The migrants on board came from  Egypt, Somalia, Eritrea, the Comoro Islands and included some Syrians.

Scientists Develop Ultra Thin Solar Cells 0

A  team of Austrian and Japanese researchers have announced that they’ve succeeded in creating micro thin solar cells that are thinner than the strand of spider silk. The revolutionary thin film device consists of electrodes on plastic foil and measures a mere 1.9 micro meters thick, making it 10 times thinner than the thinnest of all available solar cells, according to the researchers.

This discovery should help revolutionize the development of electronic textiles, synthetic skin and advanced robotics. The research was jointly conducted by Siegfried Bauer, Martin Kaltenbrunner besides other researchers from Johannes Kepler University of Austria along with Tsuyoshi Sekitani and several from the University of Tokyo.

Sekitani has stated that the device can be attached to a person’s clothes to collect solar electricity and this will largely benefit elderly individuals wearing sensors to monitor their health as they would need to carry batteries with them. Users will not feel the weight of these cells and the elasticity can be used in many other applications.

The researcher from the University of Tokyo also added that the device is less prone to damage as it is soft. Because of this, it won’t witness spoilage if it is bent or if its size increases. The solar cells are so thin that even after being layered on a thin mylar material, the cells measure only 0.25 percent of the total thickness of the device.

The research team now aims to increase the overall rate of the device’s sunlight electricity conversion before it can be used at least five years from now.

The power generated by solar cells increases with size and Sekitani added that the cells could be made larger to increase their efficiency. Currently, the cells aren’t powerful enough for any gadget but should be ready for the market in another five years.

Top 10 Sustainable U.S Colleges 0

Colleges and universities are in a particularly advantageous position to foster sustainability in the short and long term. Their decisions regarding energy, transportation, construction and operations can have real effects on the surrounding community, and collectively, the nation as a whole. Moreover, the inclusion of sustainability in the curriculum and activities of students will help shape a more eco-conscious society as we move forward. There are many different metrics that can be used to define sustainability, but in terms of resource efficiency and human health, LEED certified buildings can serve as a good measuring stick for a school’s commitment to sustainability. In no particular order, here are 10 universities that have demonstrated a willingness to be leaders in the field.

California Polytechnic State University

Cal Poly– Cal Poly is a leader in curriculum focused on sustainability; they currently offer over 170 courses with an emphasis on sustainability. In addition to educating the next generation of sustainable experts, they have made a strong commitment to LEED for their own campus. All new facilities are designed to be equivalent to a LEED Certified level of sustainability, with the goal of each project achieving LEED Silver or higher. Cal Poly was awarded LEED Silver certification for their Faculty Office East building in 2008 and LEED Gold certification for their Poly Canyon Village student housing in 2009, resulting in over 25% of the campus square footage being LEED certified. Moreover, the Poly Canyon Village project diverted 94% of the non-hazardous construction and demolition waste from landfills.

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 11

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified – 1,425,794 sq. feet (25% of total area)

University of Vermont

UVM–Vermont aims to strategically bridge the academic activities of teaching, research and outreach with the operations of the university. Since 1990, they have tracked their greenhouse gas emissions and have their annual inventory available to the public. The university continues to add to the depth of the sustainability metrics they measure, and added monthly electricity data for individual buildings in 2006, as well as monthly heating fuel use and wastewater generated. To show their commitment to improving these metrics, the university requires a LEED Silver rating for all new buildings and major renovations.

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 8

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified– 667,407 sq. feet (13% of total area)

University of Washington

UW– UW has shown a strong commitment to environmental stewardship & sustainability, in fact, they have received the highest grade (99) on the Princeton Review Green Honor Roll Rating four out of the last five years. The university also supports internal ‘Green Teams,’ which are groups of volunteers who look for ways to make their office environment more sustainable. They also require that all new buildings and major renovations to be designed, constructed and operated to meet a minimum LEED Silver certification level. Through these various initiatives, the university plans to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 15% of 2005 levels by 2020.

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 11

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified – 1,374,874 sq. feet  (8% of total area)

University of Florida

UF– The UF Campus Master Plan outlines strategies for land use and responsible stewardship of resources that support the university’s mission. In 2009, they raised the minimum requirement for all new construction and renovations on campus to a LEED Gold certification standard. The university also boasts the first LEED Platinum facility in the state of Florida, the Heavener Football Complex. To support their commitment to LEED buildings, the College of Design, Construction and Planning has developed an interdisciplinary undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Sustainability and the Built Environment through a series of lectures, studios, seminars and internships.

Total number of LEED Certified Buildings – 18

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

MIT – As an institution engaged in intellectual endeavors related to environment, energy, and sustainability issues, MIT has taken a leading role in their approach to managing their campus operations. An early adopter of the LEED Rating System, MIT adopted a set of long-range environmental goals designed to promote campus sustainability back in 2001. Among these goals, was the requirement that all new construction and major renovation would be built to LEED Silver standard. In January 2010, MIT joined 25 other colleges in signing the World Economic Forum’s Global University Leaders Forum Sustainable Campus Charter.

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 2

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified– 663,000 sq. feet

Harvard University

Harvard– The Harvard community continues to show their dedication to designing and operating sustainable and energy efficient buildings in which to work, live and learn. In 2009, the school adopted comprehensive Green Building Standards that includes a ‘LEED Gold or higher’ requirement for all new construction and major renovation, and energy audits on 100% of the square footage on campus. Harvard has also committed to a greenhouse gas reduction goal of 30% reduction from 2006 by 2016, despite any growth that occurs. This is in addition to other sustainable features, such as water metering systems on 100% of the buildings on campus.

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 27

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified – 1,235,737 sq. feet

Georgia Institute of Technology

Georgia Tech– Georgia Tech has a rich tradition of resource conservation and sustainable practices. As far back as 2002, this tradition was codified as a requirement that all new buildings and major renovations would meet the standards for least LEED Silver certification. In 2009, Georgia Tech went further to require LEED Gold or higher on all new construction and major renovations. The university has accomplished this by following one of the most advanced documents in the college and university arena for environmental stewardship – the “Yellow Book.” Their efforts go beyond efficient design – for the 2009-2010 academic year, Georgia Tech diverted 98% of all non-hazardous
construction and demolition waste from landfills.

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 4

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified – 721,967 sq. feet

University of Oregon

UO– In addition to their commitment that all new construction meets at least LEED Silver standards, Oregon has developed a number of innovative ways to improve the sustainability of their campus, staff and students. For their employees in administrative units responsible for office management, the university offers a free Green Office Training to orient them to the sustainability services available at UO and how they can evaluate their office with a standardized scorecard. For their students, they have developed the $CORE program, which provides free energy assessments to students living off campus performed by current students enrolled at the university.

Total number of LEED Certified Buildings – 2

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified – 259,390

Princeton University

Princeton University– Princeton sustainable building guidelines are integrated into their overall design standards. The university prides itself on the tough standards it has put in place, including building all new projects and major renovations to be 50% more efficient than a comparable off-campus building and built to LEED Silver equivalency. Although they generally do not seek LEED certification, they do apply an internal self-imposed ‘CO2 tax’ to value emissions associated with various building systems. Princeton also makes a point to ensure that these are direct CO2 reductions, as opposed to purchasing market “offsets.”

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 1

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified – 120,000 sq. feet

Brown University

BU – Since 2007, Brown has been a model of sustainability, specifically in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, the New England Clean Energy Council honored Brown as its Corporate Citizen of the Year for their emission reductions. They are accomplishing this, in part, by requiring that all new construction to be built to at least LEED Silver. Not only has LEED taken hold as the standard for new construction, a student chapter of the USGBC was established at Brown in 2011. This group has focused on group study sessions in preparation of the Green Associate exam and leading tours high-lighting the green features of buildings on campus. One of these features is the largest hybrid solar installation in the nation on the roof of the Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatic Center, which generates enough power to keep the lights on and enough thermal energy to heat the million-gallon pool.

Total Number of LEED Certified Buildings – 1

Combined Square Footage LEED Certified – 168,800 sq. feet

The culture runs teachers like me from the profession

It is the most wonderful time of the year. Well, sort of. For some people. People with an unnatural (some can say unhealthy) love for stickers, children's books and pastel light holders. For teachers, the new school year awaits as a tightly packed Christmas gift – full of potential, full of surprises. The promise of a year of new learning, new professional growth and new opportunities for door deco in the classroom is the joy of a career in education.

School teacher Erin Canavan.

School teacher Erin Canavan.

But all the hype over the start of a new school year passes me. At some point in my career, when I need to feel more comfortable, and when my passion for the profession is to increase, I feel anxious and devoured by self-confidence. Not for the first time, I wish I had the confidence, unremitting passion and confidence to go into my job and really enjoy it.

The problem is, I don't know how to find them. Statistics show that 40-50 percent of Australian teachers leave the profession within the first five years of their employment. I can't be part of that cohort (yet), but I admit that in my two years in the profession I've considered leaving it behind. Because while passion or personal experience or an unfulfilled dream can lead individuals to the education industry, a fundamental and harmful cultural shift drives us away.

The scale of Australian education is becoming ever narrower. Many of the teachers
Professional decisions are driven by expectations of student performance in high-stakes, national tests, and the need to meet school-wide and national performance benchmarks. In the constant pursuit of academic results and evidence of quantifiable student achievement, opportunities for making autonomous decisions about our teaching are rare. While I see that my students achieve and experience success is a good feeling, student growth and professional autonomy are almost excluded.
