Microsoft: We're Not Afraid of the Cloud

Microsoft has been busy this year, rolling out Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 in a push to expand its presence in the corporate data center. To be successful, the company must overcome an economic environment that appears increasingly difficult as well as tough competition from rivals Oracle and VMware, among others

Rob Kelly, Microsoft's corporate vice president of infrastructure server marketing, sat down with IDG News Service to discuss the adoption rate of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft's plans for cloud-based services, and the recent declaration by Paul Maritz, an ex-Microsoft executive and current president and CEO of VMware, that the traditional server operating system "has all but disappeared."

What follows is an edited transcript of that interview:

IDGNS: We haven't heard much from Microsoft about user adoption of Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008, can you give us an update on how things are going? For example, are you finding many customers switching from Oracle?

Rob Kelly: At the end of the day, our job is to build software that customers choose to run their businesses on. My job is not out there to beat Oracle, to take Oracle's business. I just want to do a better job of satisfying the customer and, ultimately, they'll choose me for that reason.

The products have been exceedingly well received. We've never had faster adoption of the OS as we've seen with Windows Server 2008, for lots of reasons: the quality of it, the workload focus that we have, some of the efficiencies that are built into it around things like power management, that sort of thing.

IDGNS: When you say this is the fastest adoption you've ever seen, can you quantify that for me?

Kelly: We're taking more share than we've ever taken of the x86 server world, whether you look at IDC or Gartner. We will probably make it to that magical million licenses per quarter run rate very quickly, and that's a phenomenal rate of adoption.

The other thing that's happening on Windows Server 2008 is our mix of premium SKUs (stock keeping unit), driven almost exclusively by virtualization and the rights around virtualization that we've put in those SKUs. Just think of it this way: We have three main SKUs for Windows Server 2008. If you want to run one virtual machine, you choose Standard. If you want to run four virtual machines or fewer, you run Enterprise Edition. If you want unlimited virtual machines you run Datacenter Edition.

Our premium SKU mix, on a global basis, has more than doubled over the last two years since we made the licensing change, and over the last six months it's been unbelievably fast.

IDGNS: Last week we saw Paul Maritz, the CEO of VMware and a guy who knows Microsoft pretty well, proclaim that the server operating system is obsolete and his company will build a virtual data center OS to manage applications. How should we interpret his comments? Is there substance to his claim?

Kelly: The death of Windows has been foretold many times. It's in their best interests to position it that way.

Secondly, as I told some internal folks the other day, I know Paul and he's a great guy. I don't envy him where he is right now, because he just entered into a hornet's nest. Not so much because of Microsoft; we treat virtualization as an enabler. It's a feature of the operating system, as it's always been in mainframes and as it is in Linux distributions. What he's just done is enter a space that's crowded by his partners, and I'll give you the one that's canonically challenging for him: Hewlett-Packard.

HP has spent, literally, billions of dollars buying companies that would allow them to be the governor of the data center. They bought Opsware, they bought EDS, they bought Neoware. They bought a whole bunch of interesting assets for themselves. VMware came out and said, "We want to displace them." That's a very tough spot to be in.

As they try to move out of what's quickly becoming a commoditized world, where all these very high margins go away, VMware has stomped into a space where all of their partners are scratching their heads. The buzz on the show floor last week was, "Oh, that's our stuff. That's what we do. Now they want to do this?" It's a fascinating thing, actually. I don't envy Paul.

IDGNS: The news coming out of Wall Street has been pretty grim lately. How does Microsoft view the economic situation? Do you see foresee a point where a worsening economy hurts user adoption of Windows Server 2008?

Kelly: At the core of what we're trying to do is help customers deliver a whole new set of experiences at the lowest cost possible. The first job is help them strip out cost, because that's what they live with every day. We also have to help them deliver new capabilities, because that's what drives their business. Everything is about helping customers move from a high cost, maintenance-focused IT environment to a much more dynamic, business-responsive IT architecture.

When times get tough, customers are constantly on the path to do more with less. Software really delivers the best bang for the buck. Customers tell us when their IT department is strapped, they start asking whether this next machine, this next application or maintenance check is the right way to spend their IT dollars. Or should they move to the economic platform, the one that's actually driven the innovation over the last 10 or 15 years and get on that wave now?

IDGNS: But is the investment required for companies to replace their existing systems with new ones going to be less than the marginal cost of maintaining those existing systems until the economic environment improves?

Kelly: It depends on the customer. A great advantage of Windows Server 2008 is our virtualization technology. It used to cost you $3,000 to buy the Enterprise Edition license and then you had to pay another $3,000 for each virtual server running on top of that, up to four. Now, because of the licensing rights change we allow you to run four virtual machines on top of that for no additional cost. Now, for $3,000, you can run five machines, the base plus four virtual machines.

If you're a Windows customer, for a very marginal outlay of price you can consolidate your physical environment into a virtual environment, which reduces your total footprint of servers. You get a huge power savings and your management costs go down.

IDGNS: Oracle and Amazon announced a deal that makes Oracle 11g and other products available as part of Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud service. Is Microsoft headed down the same path?

Kelly: We're telling everybody to hold their horses, wait until the PDC. At the Professional Developers Conference in late October we will be more concrete about what our plans are, what our offers are in the cloud. But you could probably guess to a large degree. We are a platform company and we are going to offer platform elements in the cloud.

From a developer's standpoint, it will be coherent across the on-premises experience and the cloud-based experience, so you can leverage the learning you already have. If you're a customer, it's a consumption model. I want to consume an application, but do I want to consume it on the premises or in the cloud? We'll make it coherent.

Without giving away a whole bunch of interesting secrets and all that stuff we're holding for PDC, there is nothing that is frightening to us about the cloud. It's just a different delivery vehicle. There's nothing frightening to us about other vendors getting into the space. We believe in the platform and we believe that because we have a platform that customers have chosen with their feet, and their dollars, in the on-premises world, we will be able to deliver that same value proposition in a cloud-based world.

This was the best experience for a day out in LA. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend doing it on your first full day in LA so that you can visit each area individually in the rest of your time there. Awesome tour guide and luckily a gorgeous sunny day!

I have not tried it yet, but I will later.  Seems kinda of fun to have on your phone for a few days just for the LOL’s.  🙂

Here is a cut and paste from the site.

Old Spice Voicemail Message Generator

You may be aware of a recent Old Spice advertising campaign featuring a handsome man in absurd situations.

He has posted a video on YouTube that could be used to prepare a personalized voicemail message (and then another one for ladies).

This page generates such messages for you. Choose the parts of the message that you want and press “generate”. You’ll get an MP3 file with your message.

Since there were many questions about it: this website doesn’t send the message to your phone. It just makes an MP3 file (the phone number is only there because it can be included in the message).
You have to figure out how to set the message on your voicemail by yourself.
It’s likely that your best bet is holding the phone to your computer’s speakers while recording the message.

Drop me an email if you have any questions or comments: jfedor@jfedor.org.

I disabled the generator, but here are the options as of now…  Go here to make the mp4

Why Parking Your Semi-Truck at a Storage Facility is Smart

Published on 2/11/2020

Why Parking Your Semi-Truck at a Storage Facility is Smart

When you aren’t driving your semi-truck, finding a space to park it safely is a difficult challenge. Many people don’t have room in their yards or driveways. Often, homeowner’s associations, neighborhoods, and city ordinances don’t allow parking on your property or street. Even if you do have space and the ability to park, unsecured locations are at great risk for theft and vandalism.

With all these issues, it is tough to find a safe place to park your semi-truck. Luckily, you aren’t out of options. Storage facilities that offer semi-truck parking are a great option. That is because they are safe and secure, offer legal parking, and offer extra amenities. Many truckers turn to storage facilities when they need to park their tractors. This is because they are convenient and easy to use.

Safe and Secure

Different storage facilities offer different security measures. But you can always be assured our facility is safe and secure. We understand how big of an investment owning or leasing a semi-truck is. That’s why we offer well-lit parking storage. We have various sate-of-the-art security measures in place to keep your trailer safe. With proactive staff and security gates in place, you will not have to worry about vandalism or theft.

Legal Parking

Many homeowner’s associations, neighborhoods, and city ordinances don’t allow semi-truck parking. As frustrating as it can be not being able to park in your own lot, it is important to follow the laws and park legally. Our storage facility makes following these rules and ordinances easy. When you bring your tractor here, you won’t have to worry about getting a ticket or a tow. Storage facilities are already zoned for large vehicle parking. This means every parking spot here is legal. This relieves you from the stress of finding a parking spot that won’t get you in trouble. No longer worry about researching the county, city, and local ordinances to avoid fines!

Convenient and Extra Amenities

Finally, parking at our storage facility is convenient and comes with extra amenities. We offer a variety of parking options and sizes, so you can find the best fit for your truck and trailer. In addition to the extra safety and security that you get here, we also provide month to month leases. This means you’ll never have to make a long term commitment, as we understand how fast-paced the trucking industry can be!

Because of the added safety and security, the convenient legal parking, and the extra amenities, parking at a storage facility is a smart option for many truck drivers.

“Fastening mechanism isn’t safe”
2 out 5

Comments: I don’t find this harness to be very secure, our dog can get out of it easily if he wants too by pulling back. Also the only thing keeping him in it is the Velcro which doesn’t last, it does have a buckle as well but it can’t be fastened and it sits 2cm above the velcro therefore it’s quite pointless. Our dog was fitted in store so we definitely have the right size but it’s just not a safe design.

Bottom Line: No, I wouldn't recommend this product to a friend

Eplerenone Information

(e pler' en one)

Eplerenone is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat high blood pressure. Eplerenone is in a class of medications called mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the action of aldosterone, a natural substance in the body that raises blood pressure. High blood pressure is a common condition and when not treated, can cause damage to the brain, heart, blood vessels, kidneys and other parts of the body. Damage to these organs may cause heart disease, a heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, loss of vision, and other problems. In addition to taking medication, making lifestyle changes will also help to control your blood pressure. These changes include eating a diet that is low in fat and salt, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising at least 30 minutes most days, not smoking, and using alcohol in moderation.
Eplerenone comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once or twice a day, with or without food. To help you remember to take eplerenone, take it around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take eplerenone exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may start you on a low dose of eplerenone and increase your dose after 4 weeks. Eplerenone controls high blood pressure but does not cure it. It may take 4 weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of eplerenone. Continue to take eplerenone even if you feel well. Do not stop taking eplerenone without talking to your doctor.
    Before taking eplerenone,
  • tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to eplerenone, any other medications, or any ingredients in eplerenone tablets. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
  • do not take eplerenone if you are taking amiloride (Midamor), amiloride and hydrochlorothiazide, itraconazole (Onmel, Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), potassium supplements, spironolactone (Aldactone), spironolactone and hydrochlorothiazide (Aldactazide), triamterene (Dyrenium), or triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide (Dyazide, Maxzide).
  • tell your doctor and pharmacist what other prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you are taking. Be sure to mention any of the following: angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors such as benazepril (Lotensin, in Lotrel), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec, in Vaseretic), fosinopril, lisinopril (in Prinzide, in Zestoretic), and quinapril (Accupril, in Accuretic, in Quinaretic); angiotensin II receptor antagonists such as azilsartan (Edarbi, in Edarbyclor), candesartan (Atacand, in Atacand HCT), eprosartan (Teveten), irbesartan (Avapro, in Avalide), losartan (Cozaar, in Hyzaar), olmesartan (Benicar, in Azor, in Benicar HCT), telmisartan (Micardis, in Micardis HCT, in Twynsta), and valsartan (Diovan, in Diovan HCT, Exforge); aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn); cimetidine (Tagamet); clarithromycin (Biaxin); danazol; delavirdine (Rescriptor); diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac, others); erythromycin (E.E.S., E-Mycin, Erythrocin); fluconazole (Diflucan); fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem, Selfemra); fluvoxamine (Luvox); HIV protease inhibitors such as indinavir (Crixivan), ritonavir (Norvir, in Kaletra), and saquinavir (Invirase); isoniazid (Laniazid, in Rifamate, Rifater); lithium (Lithobid); metronidazole (Flagyl); nefazodone; verapamil (Calan, Covera, Verelan, in Tarka); and zafirlukast (Accolate). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
  • tell your doctor what herbal products you are taking, especially St. John's wort.
  • tell your doctor if you have or have ever had high blood levels of potassium, diabetes, gout, or liver or kidney disease.
  • tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking eplerenone, call your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about drinking grapefruit juice while taking this medicine. Do not use salt substitutes containing potassium while you are taking eplerenone. If your doctor prescribes a low-salt or low-sodium diet, follow these directions carefully.
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Eplerenone may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
  • headache
  • dizziness
  • diarrhea
  • stomach pain
  • cough
  • excessive tiredness
  • flu-like symptoms
  • breast enlargement or tenderness
  • abnormal vaginal bleeding
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them, call your doctor immediately:
  • chest pain
  • tingling in arms and legs
  • loss of muscle tone
  • weakness or heaviness in legs
  • confusion
  • lack of energy
  • cold, gray skin
  • irregular heartbeat
Eplerenone may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website ( for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program. It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily. To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location – one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach.
In case of overdose, call the poison control helpline at 1-800-222-1222. Information is also available online at If the victim has collapsed, had a seizure, has trouble breathing, or can't be awakened, immediately call emergency services at 911.
Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will check your blood pressure regularly and order certain lab tests to check your body's response to eplerenone. Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription. It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

The AME Awards 2020 finalists have been announced, with PHD China’s “Deep Fake: You the Action Hero” for Volkswagen. The campaign was selected as a finalist in two separate categories: Best Use of Discipline: Digital/Mobile and Products & Services: Automotive.

Tasked with refreshing a legacy brand in the mind of younger Chinese consumers, PHD turned to films for inspiration.

A famous movie actor in China known for his high-octane escapades, in films full of stunts, explosions & frantic car chases, Wujing is China’s equivalent to Hollywood action star Jason Statham.

Wujing’s high octane car chases are particularly popular among Chinese consumers. So the PHD team recreated these car chases, but put the Touareg and prospective buyers centre stage.

In a media first using the popular entertainment app ‘VUE’, PHD  put users into a Wujing chase scene, featuring the VW Touareg.

After creating their own personalised video, users could download their own copy and share it via their own QQ, Weibo or WeChat social media pages.

AME finalists were decided by a 100+ jury panel. The campaigns awarded finalist status were wide-ranging, including strategic partnerships, branded entertainment, brand challenges, out-of-home technology, and immersive event marketing.

Radiation Protection Services

2.7 mSv
UK average
annual radiation dose

What is a millisievert?
For ionising radiation (X-rays, gamma-rays, electrons, neutrons etc.) the quantity of absorbed energy is called a "dose" and is measured in sieverts (Sv). A sievert is a very large and extremely unusual dose so more often we talk about thousandths of a sievert - a millisievert.

Ionising radiation can be found in soils, in our air and water, and in us. Because it occurs in our natural environment, we encounter it every day through the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. It is also in building materials and items we commonly use. Public Health England and its predecessor organisations have calculated the exposure of the UK population from naturally occurring and artificial sources of ionising radiation periodically since 1974.

Contributions to the average dose in the UK

In this blog post, PCR alumna Amilia Rosa explains the background of the Juneteenth holiday (aka Freedom Day), and shares how she plans to celebrate this holiday while supporting the Black Lives Matter movement and the African American community.

Amilia & Family getting D'Alba Award

My name is Amilia Rosa. I was lucky enough to be a part of the Philadelphia City Rowing women’s team from 2015 until I graduated in 2018. As an African-American and Latina woman, traditions are extremely valued in both of my cultures. Celebrating the holiday of Juneteenth is one that my mother’s side of the family and I have embraced in recent years.

Juneteenth celebrates the day of June 19th, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas. The orders stated that all enslaved individuals in Texas were free. This federal order was extremely important in that it represented the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the Confederate States. Juneteenth occurred two years after Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation.

With the state of our country today, celebrating how far African Americans have come is essential. Approximately 155 years ago every single enslaved African American was emancipated. Today, African Americans still suffer from the effects of a society that is systemically against them. Let this joyous day be a reminder of not only how far we've come, but also of how far we have to go. Your family, friends, and teammates of color need your support now more than ever.

Amilia coaching

This year, my family, friends, and teammates will celebrate Juneteenth by further educating ourselves on the history and plight of African Americans. We plan to donate to organizations and bail funds that support the Black Lives Matter movement. We are also contributing to protests in any way we can, whether that’s being on the front lines, donating supplies, or giving them our support. Please remember that this is a movement, not a moment, and keep fighting the good fight. Happy Juneteenth!

If you are looking for tips on how to write or talk about slavery, we recommend reading this community-sourced document curated by Professor Gabrielle Foreman. You can read the document here:

Amilia Rosa is a Criminal Justice Major and NCAA Division I rower at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, PA. Amilia rowed for PCR from 2015-2018 and earned the Edward M. D'Alba Leadership Award Scholarship in 2018. In 2019, Amilia returned to the Schuylkill River to coach the PCR summer learn-to-row program.

Watercolor Strokes Navy Blue - Canvas print - Office

This canvas print selection offers you the opportunity to bring the beauty and fragility of watercolours into your home. Artists have been engaged and challenged by watercolour paintiRead moreng for centuries. It has a luminosity impossible to achieve in any other medium. Perfectly suited both to abstract and figurative subjects, watercolour is a medium ideally suited to painting in the open air. Consequently, many artists employ watercolour for the outdoor sketches they make before beginning full-sized paintings in the studio.

What is watercolour?

Specialist manufacturers produce watercolour paints by grinding pigments very finely and then mixing them with a binder such as gum arabic. Artists buy them in tubes or cakes and use water as the medium when brushing the paint onto special watercolour paper. When the artist applies the paint using a technique known as wet-in-wet, where two or more colours can run into each other, the result can be beautiful and result in unexpected colour mixes. Some pigments make interesting patterns as they settle into the paper. Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Umber both do this. The canvas prints on offer here show these traits particularly well.

Watercolour painters past and present

One of the earliest and most beautiful watercolours we know is Albrecht Durer's "Young Hare", painted in 1502. The British artist J.M.W. Turner is famous for his watercolour paintings. He produced thousands during his lifetime, and you can see many of his sketches and drawings in the Tate Gallery in London. Also working in the early 1800s, John Constable, possibly most famous for his oil painting "The Haywain", was using watercolour on a daily basis for preliminary studies. His contemporaries said that he made at least one sky painting every single day. Many modern artists value the expressive qualities of watercolour, especially in more abstract works, using the medium loosely to create a sense of the subject in their work rather than a literal representation. Every year competitions held nationally and internationally showcase the best work currently being produced around the world. Amateur painters often begin with watercolour, only to find it isn't nearly as easy as it looks to get great results. If you have a love of watercolours, choosing a canvas print is the ideal way to get one on your wall. With their liveliness and purity, watercolours are easy to live with in any environment and these canvas prints offer you the added bonus that there is no need for the glazing and frame you would need for an original work.

Watercolours and interior design

Watercolours are known to have an inherent light within it. This makes it one of the best medium to express the delicate, mysterious, and heavenly. Watercolours wall murals can create a unique appearance on your walls and can be considered to be a true form of art. Having the wall murals on your walls can totally complete the room appearance. In many instances, you need not have to add other decorative items to match the wall mural design. So whatever wall mural you choose, they will definitely create a wonderful statement to your interior.

“Spain has a unique diversity of terroirs and marine ecosystems, from the Atlantic to the vast expanse of the Mediterranean coast. This richness, together with a deep tradition and appreciation of its products and gastronomy, makes Spain one of the world’s paradises for food lovers of the finest product.

MIKAEL JONSSON, Hedone, London

“I am totally convinced that Spain is home to some of the best products in the world, such as the unrivalled Iberian ham, and for this reason I have always had and will always have the utmost respect for Spanish producers and chefs.

“The product is blood, it is religion. Chefs who sin with lustful dreams, but who only caress, always respectful, in their humble temples with passionate kitchens. A product that is a flag. We are a nation.”

JOSÉ ANDRÉS , ThinkFoodGroup, Wahington DC

Cucu & Bosmina

We proudly present the heroes in the new children’s book:

This is Cucu.

Cucu is short for Daphnia cucullata. This little creature is part of the Cladocera, or water flea, family. Water fleas are related to crustaceans, or shellfish, who you’ve certainly heard of and who you might even have eaten!

Cucu is approximately 1.5 millimetres long, and you can just about see it with your bare eye. If you want to take a closer look at Cucu, you’ll need a microscope.

Here you can see Bosmina.

Bosmina also has a scientific name, just like Cucu – Bosmina longispina. Much like Cucu, Bosmina’s also a member of the water flea clan. Bosmina is smaller than Cucu, measuring in at just 0.6 millimetres. To properly see Bosmina, you really need a microscope!

Naturally, Cucu and Bosmina live in water, after all, they are water fleas. They prefer fresh water, lakes and ponds, but they also live along the shores of the Baltic Sea.

Water fleas are also called plankton. Lots of fish and other creatures in the water eat plankton. And strangest of all, Cucu and Bosmina also eat plankton. Well, whether you even call it eating in the way we understand it is debatable, as they strain the food through slits in their stomachs. Isn’t that fascinating?

What do you think Cucu and Bosmina get up to when they’re not filtering food through their stomachs?

We don’t really know what they do or think, if they even do think. But don’t worry about that, let’s just pretend we know!

What we do know for sure is that they want to live in clean water.

We still have so much more to learn about water fleas and other little creatures floating about in seas and lakes. That’s why we’d love for you to get to know Cucu and Bosmina. Don’t they seem fun?

Follow Cucu and Bosmina on their adventures in a book and on Facebook!

Hard cover
Size: 21×21 cm

ISBN: 978-952-94-1958-6 Swedish

The book was written by Eivor (Skini) Lindgård

whilst the drawings and photographs are the work of Satu Zwerver.

Skini recalls the early stages of creating the book:
‘I first got to know Satu 20 years ago. It became clear that she had this special passion – water fleas. Satu is an expert in algae and plankton and other tiny bugs swimming and floating in water. She works on water flea-related projects every day, having set up her own business. She’d heard that I like writing – I’d written things like children’s songs (Egils maskin (Egil’s machine) – in the 1990s, sketches, songs and a few plays, for example, for Parainen’s amateur theatre Teaterboulage ( When Satu asked me whether I’d consider writing a children’s book about plankton, my reaction was pretty much how anyone would’ve reacted: What? About plankton? Hmm.

Satu already had the two stars ready – two water fleas called Cucu and Bosmina. She’d drawn illustrations of them on a computer, which was quite something in those days. They seemed fun, and all of a sudden I realised I was seriously contemplating the water flea book. I grew more and more interested and Cucu and Bosmina began to come alive in my head! The story grew and Satu finished off the last of the pictures. With all kinds of things going on in the meantime, we have only now got round to releasing the first book, introducing our two little heroes to the world.

We’re presenting to all little (and why not bigger too) landlubbers two little water fleas – in actual fact two tiny crustaceans – Cucu (Daphnia cucullata) and Bosmina (Bosmina coregoni). Cucu and Bosmina are fighting for a cleaner living environment – in their case, water. They want to show that even if you’re really, really small, you can achieve results if you are brave enough to ask for help and take a dive into the unknown. Cucu and Bosmina’s tale is a fictional adventure story that provides all kinds of information on the world of plankton along the way, whilst reminding us how important it is to have clean water.

A little bit of the text.
A little bit of the text.

The book is intended for children aged three and up, and is suitable for being read aloud at home or at a daycare centre or school. The book works perfectly as the basis for a more in-depth conversation on environmental protection more widely. Inspired by the book, right away our test group took it upon themselves to get their own plastic recycling collection container for their daycare centre!

The book also encourages readers to collect a pot of water and have a closer look with a microscope and their own eyes to see if they can find Cucu and Bosmina in a droplet of water! In the book there are also photos taken with a microscope camera, to show the real plankton world.

On this page we will be building up a collection of all kinds of hobby activities, courses and learning materials to open the doors to the world of plankton.

Under a costing system that uses direct labor hours as a driver for the allocation, how much of the inspection costs would be allocated to softball machine?

You have just been hired by Gracie Faye International (GFI) as a cost accountant. The company was named for the internationally popular Toka player, Gracie Faye. The company was started by John Smith who, in his basement, crafted a toka ball and beautifully strong toka stick for his daughter, Tresha, who played on a local team.

Tresha’s team saw the benefit of Tresha’s well-crafted equipment, and soon after, John was asked to equip the whole team. After the team won the championship, he was taking orders for the whole league and soon the whole toka world was knocking on John Smith’s door.

From simple beginnings, GFI has branched out to other sports, taking their brand of solid construction to new heights. Their ping pong table is known as the elephant’s dancing table, since ping-pong star Kevin “The Elephant” Pelinsky leapt onto a GFI table to dance across the net after he won a championship.

Founder Smith was quoted soon after saying, “all of our products have elephant dancing quality.” Their bleachers sales skyrocketed after the collapse of a competitor in the early ‘90s, and a Department of Parks and Recreation remodeled all their baseball fields with GFI electronic scoreboards and their batting cages with GFI automatic pitching machines.

The CFO (your new department head) has asked you to prepare a report to submit to the top management of the company. It would seem that the CFO did not do a very good job justifying your position and what you can do for the company.

The CFO would like for you to explain cost accounting, as well as present information to the management team on product costs for the production of toka balls, specific job order costs for special order products and provide costing information for two models of pitching machines currently offered.

You will present all of this information in a management report divided up into four separate sections as described below.

PART 1: In this section of the report, your job is to explain cost accounting and what skills you can bring to the company. The CFO feels you should include an overview of what cost management is and some of its applications. Be sure to discuss the opportunities available in the cost accounting and how it relates to corporate strategy. This section of your report should be approximately two pages in length.

PART 2: In this section of the report, you are asked to classify the product costs for the production of toka balls. Classify each cost as:

  • fixed or variable
  • direct or indirect

Complete the table and include it in your report. The management team will require justification for each cost (i.e. why you classified the costs as you did).

Product Cost Variable Fixed Direct Indirect
        Real Estate Taxes
        Wood for toka sticks
        Leather to tie wood together
        Manufacturing Labor
        Lubricants for Machinery
        Equipment depreciation

PART 3: The third section of the report should contain your computations for the month of July based on the information given below. The following information is available for a GFI division that produces electronic scoreboards. These are special order products that use a job order cost accounting system. The management team wants to see your calculations in your responses.

June 30
July 31
        Raw materials
        Goods in process
        Finished goods
Activities and information for July
        Raw materials purchases by cash
        Factory payroll by cash
        Factory overhead
                Indirect materials
                Indirect labor
                Other overhead costs
Sales in cash
Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost

Compute the following amounts for the month of July.

  1. Cost of direct materials used.
  2. Cost of direct labor used
  3. Cost of goods manufactured.
  4. Cost of goods sold. (Do not consider any underapplied or overapplied overhead.)
  5. Gross profit.
  6. Overapplied or underapplied overhead.

PART 4: In the last section of the report, the management team would like to know the profits they can expect from the two models of pitching machines they currently manufacture. The softball pitching machine and the hardball machine make up the entire product line. To help determine the profit of each individual product, the CFO wants overheads to be allocated back to the products. Total inspection costs are $40,000.

The estimated production budget is as follows.

Softball pitching machine
20 units
Direct labor hours per unit
200 hours per unit
Number of inspections
5 per unit

Hardball pitching machine
20 units
Direct labor hours per unit
200 hours per unit
Number of inspections
15 per unit
  1. Under a costing system that uses direct labor hours as a driver for the allocation, how much of the inspection costs would be allocated to softball machine?
  2. Repeat the same question for hardball machine.
  3. Using ABC and the number of inspections as a driver for allocation, recalculate the allocation for the softball machine.
  4. Repeat the activity mentioned in question 3 for hardball machine

Post Brexit Advice

As we fast approach 29th March 2019 media around Brexit is gaining in momentum. We've found that information around a "no deal" Brexit is confusing and misleading. So we've put together clear and concise information about what to do in the event of a No Deal Brexit.

Will my flight still operate?
If a deal is agreed then the UK will enter a transition period. This means everything will stay the same until the end of December 2020. In the event of a no deal scenario, the European Commission has said that UK airlines will still be able to operate flights between the UK and the EU. UK

Will I need a visa to travel to EU after Brexit?
The EU announced in November that, even in a no deal scenario, UK travellers can still visit the EU without a visa, providing the same is offered to EU citizens visiting the UK.

My holiday is after 29 March 2019 and it cannot go ahead due to Brexit. What are my options?
In a no deal scenario, the EU has said flights will still be able to operate. You should ensure that any travel arrangements for travel post 29th March 2019 are booked with a reputable UK travel company. All holidays offered by Platinum World Travel are protected under the Package Travel Regulations Act. If your holiday cannot go ahead you will be issued a full refund. If you have booked independently online you may not be covered, so please check before booking.

My passport is due to expire
You should check the date your passport expires. Presently travel to the EU requires that your passport is valid for the duration of your stay. From 29th March 2019 the UK government is recommending you have at least 6 months on your passport from the date of your arrival into an EU country. Also check when your passport was renewed. If extra months have been added to your passport expiry date these will not count towards the 6 months that must be remaining. The UK Government has published a website tool to check the validity of your passport under these rule. You may wish to renew your passport sooner rather than later to ensure you have it in time for your holiday or travel plans.

European Health Insurance Card & Travel Insurance
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) currently allows any EU citizen access to state medical care when they are travelling in another EU Country. In the event of a no deal Brexit, UK registered EHIC cards will no longer be valid.
Platinum World Travel has always advised that business & leisure travellers have appropriate travel insurance to cover their needs. EHIC cards have limitations and should not be used as a substitute to Travel Insurance.

Driving Licences
If you have a full UK driving license, you don't currently need an additional license to drive in the EU. In the event of a no deal Brexit this is likely to change. Post 29th March 2019 you may need to apply for the relevant International Driving Permit. These currently cost £5.50 and are available from the AA, RAC and the Post Office. You should check carefully with permit is required for each country you intend to drive within, as you may need more than one permit to comply with the law.

Green Cards for Car Insurance
In the event of a no deal Brexit, UK citizens driving UK registered vehicles under UK Insurance will need to carry a physical Green Card for your car insurance to be valid in the EU. These cards are issued by insurers and you may be charged a small fee to cover administration costs. You should check with your insurer for more information if you are planning to drive your vehicle in the EU on or after 29th March.

Taking Pets Abroad
If you travel with your pets, the good news is that in the event of a no deal Brexit, you can still continue to travel with your beloved pets from the UK to the EU. However, requirements for documents and health checks would change. You should consult with your Vets for up to date information at least 4 months before travel.

Data Roaming
Don't get stung with unexpected charges. Presently, the cost of using your phone in an EU country is the same as it is in the UK. In the event of a no deal Brexit these rules will no longer apply. Some companies have said that they will continue to offer this to their customers, but you should check directly with your network provider to avoid any nasty surprises.

If you have any questions or concerns around post 29th March 2019 travel please feel free to contact us. We are more than happy to help.

The Playgoer: Ripoff of the Year?

Ripoff of the Year?

Lincoln Center (summer) Festival is certainly not known for bargains. Offering practically no discounts outside of 10% occasionally for students (10%!), their excuse is they import expensive arts events from Europe and so the ticketbuyer shares the burden.

In the past I have shelled out $150 for such marathons as Mnouchkine's Dernier Caravanserail and the Druid Theatre's complete JM Synge cycle. But, hey, it was a whole day of theatre.

This year the bar has certainly been raised, to put it one way.

You may have heard about the enticing line up--playing now--of three Beckett monologues: Eh, Joe performed by Liam Neeson; Barry McGovern's I'll Go On, taken from the Beckett novels; and First Love with Ralph Fiennes.

Now there are $50 seats on the sides in both balcony and orchestra, which is, I guess, reasonable these days. But here's something to ponder: First Love runs one hour. Eh, Joe runs 30 minutes. 30 minutes!

At least I'll Go On is an epic hour and a half. But Barry McGovern, who he??? (Other than an Irish actor who's devoted his whole career just to playing Beckett.)

Now these are ticketed as three separate events. Which means the high-rollers are paying $90 each to see Liam Neeson for 30 minutes. And I do mean "see" him, since, as they may not know, Eh, Joe is a duet for a silent actor with an offstage voice.

Here's the kicker: Lincoln Center Festival is indeed offering the chance to see all three in "marathon" sessions. For no discount. So that means even for the $50 tickets you'd pay $150 for all three plays.

And of course the running time for this "marathon": 3 hours.

With some leisurely "dinner breaks" of course, it runs from 5:00-10:30, making you feel you got your money's worth.

Now, of course, how can you quantify the value of a theatrical experience. Especially in the case of a defiant minimalist like Beckett. And I suppose some Beckett purists pay any price to see the right actor sit motionless during Eh, Joe.

But, still, would even old Sam have wanted his plays to remain the extravagances of luxury tourism and chic culture vultures?

Daniel Bourque said...

I'm seeing one of the Beckett Marathons in a couple of weekends. It's expensive, yeah, but worth it I think if purely for the uniqueness of the event. How often do you see Fiennes doing a solo show, anyway? And the McGovern play has received pretty much universal acclaim- raves really as being one of THE great interpretations of Beckett. The Neeson show is a bit of shell game IMHO, but it's part of the event so I guess, what the hell.

Stuff at the Lincoln Center Festival is as a rule, expensive, and usually for a good reason. Actually, if you saw one of the DruidSynge Marathons (which I did) then you got a bargain. Producing stuff like "Die Soldaten" just doesn't come cheap. Is this all a bit elitist? Okay, maybe. But that's what high-end theatre is in this country for better or worse- LCT isn't really for the entry-level theatergoer as a rule. It's for the cultists... and the wealthy

What I think is interesting about the Gate/Beckett series is how they're splitting it all up- the "Breaks" seem too long to me, and I'm not sure why they are doing the shows individually as they don't seem like much of an evening out. Also, St. Anne’s Warehouse originally announced that THEY would be hosting the Gate/Beckett festival back last fall, so apparently somebody at LCT poached it from them.

Lincoln Center: We're not for entry-level theatergoers.

Sounds like a great new slogan if you ask me.

Theater of Ideas said...

I'm sorry, but three actors, three hours, $150? I'm sure that the Festival has its costs, but really, who are these shows for? I certainly can't afford that, as much as I would be interested in seeing an interesting interpretation of Beckett. I do wish the recent $100 million that was just donated to Lincoln Center went just a little towards making the Festival more accessible, in terms of price. That's what's been happening at the Metropolitan Opera, and they've been reaping the benefits (As have I...suddenly I can afford to see opera. From the highest balcony, but that's why there's opera glasses)

Anonymous said...

For the record -

If you are a member of TDF, both Eh Joe and I'll Go On appeared there this week for performances on Wednesday and Thursday. That's the only way I could afford to see it (orchestra seats! $30!).

I found both, well, "interesting."

Garrett Eisler said...

That's really interesting about the TDF offer, actually. Seems to me that means they indeed had trouble SELLING those orchestra seats at $90 a pop--or $270 for the package. (Remember that the 10-hour Coast of Utopia "marathon" cost only $30 more. Just saying...)

On the point of "entry-level theatre" I have only this to say.

First I think Daniel has probably captured exactly how Lincoln Center Festival thinks of this themselves. However, not that he meant to imply this necessarily, but I have problems with equating "theatre expertise" automatically with high discretionary income levels.

The truth is, there are many,many folks out there who know tons more about Beckett than LCF director Nigel Reddin himself, but could barely afford even the $50 tickets.

And yet there are plenty of other folks, shelling out 3-figures every night on Broadway for whom the current "Grease" is the most gratifying theatre they've ever seen.

What do we make of this divide?

Eric said...

The cultural divide has been a back bone of theatre for as long as it has been a money making enterprise. We, and I use it in a Western Cultural Sense, have allowed wealth enormous impact on the, for lack of a better term, artistic report card of our theatre.

There is sense of exclusivity that comes from the high ticket prices, a literal sense too, but I think there is a feeling of intellectual elitism fed by those who can afford to see Beckett, for example, and not needing to make room for those who cannot fork over the dough. Theatre can be expensive and not for entry level because it's not for entry level. Circular logic, surely, but the notion of logic is there.

On your last note, a large part of me wants to fight against the categorization of Grease as Theatre, I mean, it is, but don't we want so much more?

Hi Anonymous! I'm so glad my writing on Samuel Beckett "inspired" you to post such an irrelevant hack spam comment!

I simply must return the compliment by going to your consumer website and posting random comments about esoteric theatre.

Veterans Affairs Office faces budget cut

VA Director Fred Bordallo thanked the Governor and Lt. Governor for their support and stated that "it has been a privilege and honor to have served within your administration."

With budget talks in the spotlight, we turn to the Veterans Affairs Office which, like many other government agencies, is facing a proposed budget cut.

One million dollars … that is how much money veterans have asked VA Director Fred Bordallo to request for in the fiscal year 2020 budget. But realistically, Bordallo said they were only anticipating $715,000. But that, too, was cut down to just a little over $600,000.

“I explained to the Veteran Commission no director or administrator of the Veterans Affairs Office ever called for a million-dollar budget to finance eight or seven employees,” Bordallo said.

He says the budget trend since fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2019 is in the $600,000 range. In fact, in 2019, the VA was appropriated $603,000 but only operated on a budget of about $400,000. Bordallo says that despite the possibility of the VA office getting a hundred thousand dollars less for FY 2020, they will still be able to live within their means.

“Now I explained to the Veterans Commission that as people are watching this budgeting process, I don’t want the policymakers to say, well, since Director Bordallo survived with a $403,000 and making sure his staff were all paid, maybe we should cut his budget down from $550,000 down to $400,000 since he survived,” Bordallo said.

He says the budget is about making sure the staff at the VA’s office are paid and trained. The VA office relies on two funding sources appropriated from the General Fund and non-appropriated fund through Bank of Hawaii which reimburses the VA for the Veterans Cemetery.

In addition to this, there is also the Veterans Fund. Bordallo says despite the new proposed budget at $600,000 his plans and visions for the VA are not on the chopping block.

Bordallo has already announced plans to implement an auxiliary workforce component under which volunteers would be paid a stipend for their contributions. Meanwhile, plans to move the VA office to a new facility or Veterans Center is still in the works.

“The main point I tried to stress to the VA Commission was that it’s unrealistic to ask for a million dollars. But I will tell you this, as I did the transition here, I was looking at the different public laws that have been passed in recent years we have several public laws that have passed which have benefited veterans,” Bordallo said.

Taking this into consideration, while veterans are not going to see a million-dollar budget appropriated to the VA, looking at all the programs for veterans throughout the government of Guam, Bordallo says that cumulatively veterans are getting what they asked for moneywise.

He added that when it comes to the VA’s budget, it’s about managing the funding and doing something creative to reduce government expenses like cost-sharing or thinking outside the box when it comes to hiring essential employees.
