• Both prescription opioids and heroin are addictive. • It is possible to overdose on either heroin or

prescription opioids, and at least one-half of opioid overdoses are caused by prescription drugs.

• In 2014, opioid overdoses killed twice as many people as car accidents in Washtenaw County.

May 10, 2018: “The Fall in the Garden of England: Shakespeare in the Descent into Civil War”. Ralph Williams, PhD, Professor Emeritus English Language and Literature Department.

In the early 1590’s, when Shakespeare went to London to stay, he was apparently repulsed by the way in which powerful people gathered like piranha about the body politic of the aging Queen Elizabeth. He obviously saw, what others did, the potential for the country to devolve into civil war. Unable to write on issues of succession and civil order in contemporary terms, Shakespeare retrojected the issues to the time of the civil war, the time of the War of the Roses a century and half before. In a series of eight plays he brilliantly chronicled the causes of the collapse and represented its course. This lecture will base itself on his history plays, and explore his chilling insights.

April 12, 2018: An Update on the University of Michigan Regents Current Initiatives. Andrew Richner, Regent, University of Michigan.

My message today is about keeping your brain stimulated with the incredible resources we have available to us as retirees of UM. Did you know that, of the 10,000 UM retirees, approximately 720 retirees live in Washtenaw County and another 2,143 live in the six-county area surrounding Washtenaw County? All of us have access to the rich resources of the university that are advertised on the computer or in the University Record.

“Happenings at Michigan” http://happenings@umich.edu has a short tutorial video and lists all the events happening at UM by day, week, month or by event. You can also go to the website of the school or college or event, and check departments such as University Musical Society. The School of Music, Theatre & Dance has a listing of events with the free events separated from the ticketed events. Many of these events are free including athletic events and lectures in addition to ticketed events. The University Record has a listing of events, lectures and other activities every week. Just find what is of interest to you and go. All this is in the way of saying, keep active, keep your mind engaged, and stimulate those brain cells.

Recent research has also shown that reading books for 30 minutes per day keeps the mind healthy. It increases brain connectivity and function. Again, UM is outstanding in advancing reading. For example in 2013, the College of Engineering began what it calls the Common Read http://thirdcentury.umich.edu/common-reading-experience-2/ For the entering engineering freshman it was meant to:

• provide a community or a common experience • expose students to what it means to be an engineer in this society • start to model the intellectual experience through the books, speakers and programs around the common read

The program was begun by Stacie Edington with a grant from the Provost’s Office. All incoming freshman were sent the book “The Travels of a T-Shirt in a Global Economy” by Pietra Rivoli. First-year students and the faculty were to read the book during the summer and discussions were held during the first month of the semester. Groups of 20 students met for discussion with upperclassmen acting as facilitators. Aspects of the book were included throughout the year. The engineering common read is now in its fifth year.

The books that are selected go through a rigorous process for selection. They have over 200 books in the selection list and the selection is mainly done by students with faculty input with the Dean making the final decision. The books are interesting and well written. These are good books for stimulating the brain. The books for the years 2014-2017 include:

2014-15 - The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind co-authored by William Kamkwamba 2016 - Spare Parts: Four Undocumented Teenagers, One Ugly Robot and the Battle for the American Dream, by Joshua Davis 2017 - The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot Activate your brain with activities, events, and reading!! And, Happy Holidays to all of you.

UMRA Members Win Bicentennial Books Thanks to support from our sponsors, the U-M Retirees Association (UMRA) purchased several copies of the book, Always Leading, Forever Valiant to help celebrate the University's 200th birthday. As part of our quest to enhance benefits to members, UMRA raffled off several copies of the book to the following members who attended the September, October, and November UMRA meetings:

• September Raffle Winners: Ann Hungerman, Lori D'Alecy, Theanne Ballios, Eileen Punzalan, Dave Connor, Jan Newton, Corrine Serrell, John Samford, Nelson Chen, and Gayle Thompson.

• October Raffle Winners: Deborah Lahidji, Suzy Stacey, Peter Coyle, Mary Winter, Janet Holbrook, Janet Kemp, Karen Jeppson, Barbara Laird, Ruth Barnard, and John Cochran.

• November Raffle Winners: Karen Lawrence, Mary Randolph, Mary Jo Frank, Thomas Schriber, Jay Jackson, Diane Bell, Alan MacDavitt, Bob Holmes, Wayne Adams, and Gail Craig.

To give our members who cannot attend meetings an opportunity to win a book, UMRA also selected names by random drawing from our membership list and sent copies of the book to winning members. We recently received additional copies of the book and plan to raffle some of them to members at the December and January meetings – everyone who attends the meetings has a chance to win. We will also distribute books to members via another random drawing from our membership list. We hope that members who receive a complimentary copy of the book will enjoy this well-illustrated history of UM, which includes engaging stories that celebrate the progressive vision, dedicated individuals, and groundbreaking moments that helped forge the institution that the university is today. New UMRA Logo Follows University’s Brand. See http://vpcomm.umich.edu/brand/home

UMRA has a new logo, which is making its first appearance on the front page of this newsletter. Take a look at the work of Ed Adams, UMRA board member, who recently designed this logo. He observed UM guidelines regarding colors (Michigan Blue and Michigan Maize) as well as size and positioning of the font used for our name and that of UM. The new UMRA logo is consistent with the logos of UM units, providing unique visual identification under the UM roof for schools, colleges, other UM departments, and affiliates, such as UMRA.

UMRA’s position as a UM affiliate enabled us to obtain authorization to use the official logo with the revered block M. Although the old UMRA logo served well for years, the UM logo provides the primary graphic identity for the university, and the new UMRA logo clearly positions our organization as part of the University of Michigan.

Watch for the new UMRA logo on printed and online materials that are within the directives the university has set for using the official logo.

UMRA Newsletter – Page 7 September Social Hour Presentation: Fake News

At the September UMRA Social Hour, Will Potter, the Marsh Visiting Professor of Journalism at UM, presented From Propaganda to 'Fake News': A history of how not to be duped. It was an informative and timely talk about how to identify fake news. Will, who is also an award-winning author, a TED Senior Fellow, and an internationally recognized civil liberties advocate, gave us the following questions we can ask ourselves to determine if our information resources are providing real news or fake news.

Ten Questions for Fake News Detection (The more red flags, the more skeptical you should be!)

1. Gauge your emotional reaction: Is it strong? Are you angry? Are you intensely hoping that the information turns out to be true? False? YES = Red Flag

2. Reflect on how you encountered this. Was it promoted on a website? Did it show up in a social media feed? Was it sent to you by someone you know?

3. Consider the headline or main message: a. Does it use excessive punctuation (!!) or ALL CAPS for emphasis? YES = Red Flag b. Does it make a claim about containing a secret or telling you something that “the media” doesn’t

want you to know? YES = Red Flag c. Don’t stop at the headline! Keep exploring.

4. Is this information designed for easy sharing, like a meme? YES = Red Flag 5. Consider the source of the information:

a. Is it a well-known source? NO = Red Flag b. Is there a byline (an author’s name) attached to this piece? NO = Red Flag c. Go to the website’s “About” section: Does the site describe itself as a “fantasy news” or “satirical

news” site? YES = Red Flag d. Does the person or organization that produced the information have any editorial standards? NO =

Red Flag e. Does the “contact us” section include an email address that matches the domain (not a Gmail or

Yahoo email address)? NO = Red Flag f. Does a quick search for the name of the website raise any suspicions? YES = Red Flag

6. Does the example you’re evaluating have a current date on it? NO = Red Flag 7. Does the example cite a variety of sources, including official and expert sources? Does the information this

example provides appear in reports from (other) news outlets? NO = Red Flag 8. Does the example hyperlink to other quality sources? In other words, they haven’t been altered or taken

from another context? NO = Red Flag 9. Can you confirm, using a reverse image search, that any images in your example are authentic (in other

words, sources that haven’t been altered or taken from another context)? NO = Red Flag 10. If you searched for this example on a fact-checking site such as Snopes.com, FactCheck.org or

PolitiFact.com, is there a fact-check that labels it as less than true? YES = Red Flag

Remember: • It is easy to clone an existing website and create fake tweets to fool people. • Bots are extremely active on social media and are designed to dominate conversations and spread

propaganda. • Fake news and other misinformation often use a real image from an unrelated event. • Debunk examples of misinformation whenever you see them. It’s good for democracy!

UMRA Bentley Historical Library Tour On October 17, UMRA members enjoyed an excellent presentation at the Bentley Historical Library. Elizabeth Carron, assistant records manager, gave an overview of the library and had a variety of artifactual and interactive exhibits set up in the Whiting Room. The Bentley, one of the largest university-based archives in America, collects historical artifacts from the University of Michigan as well as the State of Michigan. There are over 10,000 holdings from individuals and organizations. The collection includes extensive archives from the UM Athletic Department. Conservation staff Dianna Samuelson and Corrine Robertson presented an excellent slide show explaining the conservation process for books, maps and other materials. Before and after photos were truly amazing. Although the use of the Bentley is particularly encouraged for faculty and students at UM, the open collections are also available for use by the general public.

UM Bicentennial MStaff200 Blocks

In honor of the University’s bicentennial and MStaff200 day, Construction Services created a unique gift for UM staff employees, a cube emblazoned with six illustrations on its sides: the UM Bicentennial logo, the MSTAFF 200 logo, the year “2017”, the year “1817”, the Block M and the phrase “Always Leading, Forever Valiant”.

There were 10,000 of the wood, precision cut, laser engraved, wrapped and boxed blocks that can stand on their axis on an acrylic base with MSTAFF200 engraved on it. Staff received these gifts at MSTAFF200 day, June 27, 2017. UMRA received 100 of these gifts, distributed on a first come basis at the November UMRA meeting. They are a beautiful memento of the Bicentennial.

The blocks were created at the University’s Construction Services department in Architecture Engineering Construction. The UM team of skilled trades experts were responsible for all aspects of production that transformed raw pieces of poplar into smooth, uniform cubes.

To make the cubes UM cabinet makers graded the lumber for variances and then fed it into a straight-line ripsaw which gave the wood a straight and flat surface. The product then went through a swathe Profmat machine which further planes the wood to specific dimensions. Eventually the wood ended up at a mitre saw where Mike Mattila cut 10 foot lengths into 10,000 blocks.

“It was very time consuming” said Mattila “but one of the challenges was making sure each cube was dimensionally the same. They have to go in the same laser engraver and they have to be exact”.

Sign Maker Nick Scott used the laser engraver to burn images into the wood 338 cubes at a time. Each side of the cube had a slightly different dimension so he placed dividers between the cubes so the images would not run off the faces.

When completed, each block and acrylic stand were wrapped in tissue paper, placed in a box ready to be given to a staff member. A unique gift conceived by staff, made by staff and wrapped by staff.

Written with permission of Safiya Merchant, staff reporter for the University Record.

UMRA and our retirees would like to thank the staff for all their work in making these gifts and thank Laurita Thomas Vice President for Human Resources and Diane Vasquez, Director of Human Resources Operations for making these 100 gifts available to the retirees.
