Nursing students at the University of Southernmost Florida, part of Dade Medical College, were shocked to be turned away from their classes in downtown Coral Gables Friday, when they arrived at school and were told that Dade Medical College is cl
"Since the school's opening in 1999, Dade Medical College contributed to the community through the training of thousands of Nursing and Allied Healthcare workers that graduated and are working in their field," Perez wrote in his memo, adding "I, for one, will definitely miss working alongside you and witnessing all the positive outcomes we've built together."
Some former Dade Medical students don't consider their outcomes positive. They accuse the school of selling an overpriced, poor-quality education. And Dade Medical's graduates have low passage rates for license exams in nursing and physical therapy assistants — the 2014 nursing passage rate at the Hollywood campus was 13 percent.
The bad news for Perez is likely to continue. As early as next week, he is expected to be arrested in connection with alleged campaign finance violations, multiple knowledgeable sources told the Herald. Perez also remains under criminal investigation for financial irregularities involving student loans.
$431,999 Ernesto Perez's annual salary at Dade Medical
Perez is a high school dropout and onetime rock musician who saw his colleges as an educational alternative for students who might not prosper at a traditional institution.
He made powerful friends along the way. Dade Medical has contributed more than $170,000 to state and federal candidates, through Perez's companies, relatives and employees at various affiliated firms. Nearly a dozen South Florida politicians were either put on the college payroll or hired on a contractual basis.
A recent Miami Herald series, Higher-Ed Hustle, showed how Florida's for-profit college sector used extensive political ties to fuel its growth. Nearly one in five Florida students attend a for-profit school, and the Florida Legislature has passed at least 15 laws that helped the industry grow — sometimes by stifling the growth of public community colleges, which generally deliver better results at a much cheaper cost to students.
Last month, auditors with the U.S. Department of Education paid a surprise visit to Perez's schools. The result: federal regulators slowed down the flow of financial aid money to Dade Medical and USMF. With Perez's empire already on shaky ground financially, that action by regulators may have been the decisive blow.
In the past three years, Dade Medical received more than $100 million in taxpayer-funded Pell grants and student loans, according to college financial statements. Almost 90 percent of company revenues came from taxpayers.
State Sen. Rene Garcia, a Hialeah Republican, worked for Dade Medical until a couple of months ago. He earned $134,399 a year as a senior vice president of governmental and community relations, and said Friday he was shocked by the closing.
"I'm blown away by it, to be honest with you," Garcia said. "I had no idea."
Garcia said he sympathized with the roughly 2,000 students and 400 employees who were left hanging by the shutdown, but Garcia said he doesn't regret working at Dade Medical.
"We educated a lot of students and we changed students' lives," Garcia said. "I'm not going to sit here and bad-mouth an institution that I worked for for seven years."
Marium Martinez, 25, attended both Dade Medical and its sister school, USMF. Martinez, who dropped out in April, owes about $28,000 in student loans. Martinez said she withdrew from the nursing program because the quality of education was inferior, and teachers couldn't explain the reasons why certain medical procedures are required.
Her student email still worked Friday afternoon, and Martinez received Perez's farewell note to students and the staff. When she spoke to a Herald reporter, she was crying — tears of joy, she said, that the college is finally shuttered.
"Thank God, these horrible people," Martinez said. Of Perez, she said, "He seriously thought that this was OK and it's not. You're crushing people's dreams."
I'm blown away by it, to be honest with you.
Rene Garcia, state senator
News of the college's closing stunned students at Dade Medical's Miami Lakes campus, who attended classes as usual Friday and said none of the employees told them that a shutdown was coming. They got the news from a Herald reporter.
"I have a test on Tuesday, that's all I know," said Karen Rodriguez, 26. "Maybe not."
Students in navy scrubs filed out of the college's Coral Gables corporate headquarters in a daze. A few cried and hugged as an employee tried to reassure them. A few made plans to drink at nearby bars.
Some students said they were informed in an email at 5 p.m. that Dade Medical was shutting its doors. Others learned through word of mouth.
"We lost everything," said Sonia Villegas, 40. "We lost time. We lost money. We lost a lot of things."
Some students were only weeks away from sitting for license exams in their career field. Jennifer Reynaldo said she was set to graduate in six months. The single mother quit her job to enroll and took out tens of thousands of dollars in loans to pay tuition.
"What am I going to do now?" she asked.
Perez's father, Ernesto Perez Sr., lugged a cardboard box full of belongings from the office to his white Buick.
"I don't have any answers," he said. "Something happened, and we had to close."
Perez Sr. defended his son and the college. He said the college enrolls everyone — even recent immigrants who may be learning English. He said those student demographics, and the fact that many students work and have families, contributed to the school's low passage rates on license exams.

"We do a lot for this community," he said. "The people we handle are minorities — real minorities"
Mirta Perez, Ernesto's mother, cried at the thought of her son's fate.
"My son is a great man," she said through tears. "He has been ruined."
Company financial records show that the Perez family — father, mother and son — all collected salaries from the school. Majority owner Ernesto Perez earned $431,999. His father, listed as a "consultant-finance," earned $197,760. His mother was listed simply as a consultant, and earned $28,634.
The college operator's wife, Sylvia, also took a salary of $28,634. Her job title in company records: "Corporate Director of Ball Busting."
In recent weeks, there were several signs that the college's finances were unraveling.
Among those signs: a $4.6 million court judgment imposed against Dade Medical in a federal lawsuit over student loans, an announcement that the school would eliminate its signature nursing associate's degree program at three campuses and an internal email indicating that the school's most recent paychecks had bounced.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education, following its surprise visit to Perez's schools last month, placed the campuses on "heightened cash monitoring" status. Instead of immediately receiving a semester's worth of loans and Pell grants for each student enrolled, Dade Medical would have to absorb its up-front teaching costs itself, and then ask the feds for reimbursement.
Surviving that way requires a college to have considerable cash reserves. Dade Medical didn't.
On Friday, college employees, some of them tearful, were told to apply for unemployment immediately.
We lost everything. .
Sonia Villegas, 40, student
For the past two years, Perez's two colleges had been dogged by news reports, mostly in the Miami Herald, questioning their business practices and highlighting the poor results achieved by students. For example, Dade Medical charges $40,050 for a physical therapy assistant associate's degree, but the program is unaccredited, and only 36 percent of graduates this year have passed the required license exam.
Florida is the only state that permits unaccredited physical therapy assistant programs, and the law that allows them was sprearheaded in 2013 by a Dade Medical ally. Miami Republican Rep. Carlos Trujillo, whose sister-in-law received free tuition, the Herald reported.
It was a testament to Perez's political power that Florida passed such an unusual law. Perez then enrolled hundreds of students in the unaccredited program — boosting college revenues by millions of dollars.
But federal regulations specify that only graduates of accredited physical therapy assistant programs can bill Medicare or Medicaid patients. In a retiree state like Florida, that means Dade Medical graduates can't work with a large pool of patients, and several hospitals have told the Herald that they would never hire these graduates.
Some Dade Medical physical therapy students say the school deceived them about what accreditation means when they enrolled. Karen Rodriguez, the Miami Lakes student, said Dade Medical told her the only downside about an unaccredited program is you're limited to working in Florida.
On Friday, six months after she enrolled, and on the last day her school was in business, a Herald reporter told her about the Medicare and Medicaid restrictions.
"It is very unfair that they weren't straight up at the beginning," Rodriguez said. "Just be straight up. That's not right at all."
Miami Herald staff writers David Ovalle and Patricia Mazzei contributed to this report.
For current Dade Medical students, the Florida Department of Education said Friday that it is "working with the school to transition students to others schools in the area offering the same programs."
Instead of finishing their Dade Medical education at another for-profit school — a process known as a "teach out" — students can also seek loan forgiveness from the U.S. Department of Education. Students who are attending a college that closes (or who dropped out of the shuttered school within the past 120 days) can ask for their federal loans to be forgiven.
Once they apply, the approval is generally automatic. More information can be found at http://1.usa.gov/1Q0qmwi.
Getting the loan forgiveness requires Dade Medical students to walk away from the credits that they earned at the school. But many traditional colleges won't accept those credits anyway.

The Obama Doctrine: Made for the '90s, Disastrous Today
March 21, 2016 Topic: Security Region: Americas Tags: Barack ObamaForeign PolicyJeffrey GoldbergRealismLiberal Interventionism
The president is yielding to the dangerous currents that oppose the global status quo.
by James F. Jeffrey
Among the copious commentary on President Obama's extraordinary foreign policy interview with the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg ("The Obama Doctrine"), Paul Pillar's approving piece in the National Interest stands out with its cogent summary of Obama's thinking. Pillar sees in Obama's views "Splendidly clear. . . realist principles," to "deal with the world as it is" and "address specific problems. . . rather than subordinating everything under general labels." Pillar notes that for the president, "not every troublesome dictator is a Hitler," "solving a problem does not always mean it is the United States that should do most of the work" and "states have no permanent friends or allies, only permanent interests."
From all this it is clear that the president sees the world as a continuation of the happy post–Cold War era, with his policies tailored to it. As he told Goldberg, he is generally optimistic about the world's trajectory. The president's mindset clearly is strongly influenced by the "realist" approach following the Cold War, associated with General Brent Scowcroft, George H.W. Bush's national security advisor, whom Obama offers much praise. That mindset assumes that no one is challenging that trajectory—namely, the expanding dominance of the liberal, collective security, market-and-law-based international order. Given this, and the absence of existential military threat to either America (as Obama emphasized) or most other significant states, policy issues involving possible force, such as Kosovo, North Korea, Saddam in the 1990s, and Ukraine and Syria today, are to be viewed like other issues—refugees, climate, the financial crisis—as individual sui generis problems with which a state can chose to engage seriously, halfheartedly (Somalia, Syria) or not at all (Rwanda, Crimea).
In such a world, states make choices on the necessity of engagements based on assessing the individual issue's cost and benefit. Realists such as Obama, and Generals Scowcroft and Colin Powell, peg costs particularly of military action high and question benefits. Liberal interventionists, symbolized by Madeline Albright, rate highly the benefits of humanitarian imperatives, defending values and keeping the global system as healthy as possible, and thus tend towards intervention. But both groups understand the basic system did not face an existential threat. Thus, each discrete policy decision is one of choice, not of necessity.
Obama, assuming this world continues today, and, as Pillar put it, viewing issues individually without "general labels," made clear that he sees his decisions as choices. True to his realist roots, he repeatedly weighs costs, especially military intervention, as high and benefits as low, and thus eschews engagements.
There is a case for his approach if the trajectory of history is as he sees it, and thus no "correct" or "incorrect" exists between the realist or liberal interventionist approaches. One can conduct realist policy wisely, or blunder—as Clinton in his realist phase did in not intervening initially in Bosnia. The same applies to liberal interventionist policy, as seen in the 1991 Somalia operation. Given Obama's views, plus the unhappy outcomes of his "interventionist" first-term moments—the Afghanistan surge, Libya bombing and chemical-weapons red line in Syria—as well as the mood of the American people after Iraq, Obama's policies not only are understandable, but laudable in the world in which he sees us.
But what if we are not in 1989's optimistic world of upward trajectory? In his December 2013 essay "The End of History Ends" in the American Interest, Walter Russell Mead argued that "a coalition of great powers" (he named Russia, China and Iran) "has long sought to overturn the Cold War Eurasian settlement that the United States and its allies imposed after 1990; in the second half of 2013 that coalition began to gain ground." Certainly, subsequent developments—South China Sea militarized "islands," Crimea, Ukraine, Syria—undergird his argument. This does not mean we are now back in that period of extreme danger, 1940–90, when all foreign policy decisions had to be taken in the context of a Manichean struggle. Neither China nor Russia has any intention of waging war against the United States or fully replacing the global order. But they certainly are, as Mead says, trying to overturn that order in areas of interest to them. The best analogy is the 1930s, when there was a risk that world order could collapse, but no such inevitability.
Under such circumstances, robust reactions to challenges to the system are not "choices," so much as obligations to protect system integrity, as challengers gain strength—and further temptation—by victories against the system's values, especially rule of law and collective security. Even in a world under challenge, you can't defend everywhere (see Tibet), and applying global priorities to individual problems can fail (Vietnam). But you also cannot react to assaults on places like Crimea or Aleppo, or the Sudetenland, Manchuria and Abyssinia, solely on the basis of their "intrinsic value." In a collective security system, security has to be nearly indivisible, applying most everywhere, and the values that justify action universal. In such a world, the attitudes Pillar ascribes to Obama, from no permanent friends to avoiding general labels when dealing with individual problems to letting others solve them, can be deadly. You defend a collective security system with the allies and friends you have, not the ones you want; if you are the strongest, you lead, because anything less risks failure; you value "credibility," a concept Obama repeatedly dismissed, because it is crucial to allies' trust and system predictability.
That is arguably where we need to be today, even acknowledged by Obama in his September 2015 UN address: "The United States… [built] an international system that imposes a cost on those who choose conflict… [but] dangerous currents risk pulling back into a darker, more disordered world." But with Goldberg, and with his actions, Obama seems to have forgotten his wise words. By throwing up his hands because Russia cares more about the Ukraine, or wanting Saudi Arabia to "share" the Middle East with Iran, he is not reconciling ancient animosities with no objective right or wrong; he is yielding to those "dangerous currents" that oppose the global status quo. That is the path to catastrophe.

When a disaster strikes, access to communications and high-tech infrastructure is critical for saving lives and mobilizing relief efforts.
But as we saw a few weeks ago, Hurricane Sandy rendered inoperable the phone lines and computer networks that people needed to call for help and reach loved ones. In the storm's aftermath many remained unable to access local and federal aid or even find out where they could get gasoline.
It doesn't have to be this way. Just as the National Guard can be called upon to provide emergency relief, there are thousands of technology professionals ready, willing and able to volunteer their skills to rebuild crucial technology infrastructure in times exactly like these.
These men and women could help build emergency cellphone towers and set up mesh Wi-Fi networks. They could assist government agencies to build and maintain the information systems that are needed to locate, manage and deploy food and water, tents and electric generators, and to help health workers keep track of drugs and other critical medical supplies.
They also can help small businesses, schools and nonprofit organizations get their own information networks back online and functioning quickly.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks in Manhattan, information technology professionals from Intel, Oregon's largest private employer, joined their counterparts from New York's "Silicon Alley" who were assisting people trying to get their companies, schools and organizations back online. They were welcomed by private businesses.
But the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other government agencies resisted the assistance that was offered by outsiders who didn't have credentials and hadn't been vetted or trained to work with them.
This experience led us to work with then-Sen. George Allen of Virginia to propose legislation for a National Emergency Technology Guard, or NET Guard.
This legislation authorized the establishment of a citizen corps of professional technologists, similar to the National Guard. The men and women who joined up would be organized, trained, and could be activated and deployed whenever disaster strikes.
Although this bill passed the Senate 97-0 and was incorporated into the Homeland Security Act of 2002, sadly neither the Bush nor Obama administrations has used the authority in the statute to organize this potentially life- and property-saving resource.
There is no question that technologists are willing and able to come together to provide effective emergency solutions after a disaster strikes. In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, technologists working remotely around the world merged several different missing-person databases into one to help families locate each other. Other technology volunteers went to New Orleans to string up Wi-Fi networks that allowed for critical communications and voice calls—including calls between then-Mayor Ray Nagin and President Bush even after all telephone and cellphone towers were knocked out.
"Crowdsourced" mapping tools built by software engineers have been used after earthquakes (as in Haiti in 2010), tsunamis (as in Japan in 2011), and forest fires to help identify the location of makeshift hospitals, food, clean water and shelter or simply to warn against areas of danger. Such maps have even been used to find the location of parking spaces in Washington, D.C., New York City, and other cities after massive snowstorms.
These private volunteers could be more effective if they were allowed to work directly with government agencies. That is our vision of NET Guard. Technology companies with thousands of employees—such as Intel, Google, GOOG +1.45% Apple,Microsoft, MSFT -1.11% IBM IBM -0.86% and Oracle ORCL +0.84% —would allow them to periodically receive training from the government on disaster response, on coordinating their efforts with government agencies, and other skills. Then, after a disaster, the president could activate these NET Guard volunteers and deploy them wherever they are needed. Because they are members of NET Guard, their jobs would be held for them, as is done for members of the National Guard.
NET Guard teams could also work with federal, state and local officials on emergency-communication plans that could be put into motion even before a major storm hit, or immediately after an unexpected disaster like an earthquake or terrorist attack.
No one questions the need to keep the phone systems running—and it is equally critical that the nation has a means for getting Internet-based communications systems up and running when they go down after a disaster. Information technology is not just about cool smartphones, tablets and computers. Today it is also about providing and delivering crucial information that can save lives, save property, and help rebuild faster when it matters most.
The Obama administration now has dramatic evidence of the need to set up a NET Guard to help victims of future disasters recover and reconstruct their lives.

Types of Household, Family Life Cycle and Poverty in Costa Rica
dc.creator Barquero Barquero, Jorge A.

dc.identifier.citation https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6tp0x5x1
dc.description.abstract Over the last ten years, improvement in poverty conditions has stalled in Costa Rica, but there have been significant advances in aspects relating to the demographic transition. Poverty levels are holding around 20% of households below the pov erty line, while mortality indicators have achieved a life expectancy of 78 years and fertility has reached historical replacement levels. This situation is suitable for conceptual and empirical studies to provide information regarding the relationship be tween the phenomenon of poverty and conditions of socio - demographic vulnerability still being felt by a significant proportion of the country's households. This study is aimed at exploring problems of socio - demographic vulnerability in Costa Rica, startin g with an analysis of the composition and changes in the poorest households by means of two key concepts: Type of Household and Family Life Cycle, which are operationalized in variables based on the information from the Household Surveys of 1987, 1994, and 2002. Household or family typologies (Household Type) refer to the composition of the familial and non - familial arrangements within each household, starting with kinship relations among household members, with regards to a reference person, which general ly is the individual considered head of household. Family Life Cycle refers to the different phases or stages that family arrangements usually go through, from constitution of the initial family nucleus (couple with or without children), passing through different events of change according to the growth of the initial group and the ages of its members, until the nucleus is dissolved or dispersed into new nuclei and family arrangements. Both concepts are related to demographic and socio - cultural patterns, such as marriage, fertility, mortality, survival strategies, cultural practices regarding sharing a dwelling or co - habitation, material living conditions and the socio - economic levels of the household or family members. The hypothesis applied here, which is essentially exploratory, is that the type of household and the family life cycle phase can also be seen as an expression of the conditions of socio - demographic vulnerability, which worsen in households below the poverty line. This vulnerability exposes the households and their members to greater risks of social exclusion and facilitates intergenerational reproduction of poverty. After this introduction, the paper consists of a first section, which delineates the evolution of poverty in Costa Rica and the main characteristics of the poor. The following section provides the major conceptual and methodological orientations that guided this research; the fourth section describes all the households with regards to the two study variables Household Lifecycle (HLC) and Household Type (HT). The fifth section delves into the major findings on poverty according to the HLC and the characteristics of the component members; finally, the principal study conclusions are summarized. es_ES

The Bloodstone Series Book 1
Silk on the skin—luxurious, luscious..lethal.
It is the time of Jack the Ripper, the widowed Queen Victoria sits on the throne of England. The whole of London is on edge wondering when or where Jack will kill next. The Palace, Parliament, and the press are demanding the police do more to find him.
In another part of London, rough-around-the-edges war hero, Metropolitan Detective Inspector Rudyard Bloodstone has his own serial killer to find. Inter departmental rivalries, politics, and little evidence to go on hamper the investigation at every turn. In a battle of wills, Bloodstone presses forward following his instincts in spite of the obstacles.
Adding to those problems, away from the strains of the investigation, he is engaged in the ups and downs of a new relationship with a lovely hat maker.
Lovely. Thoroughly engaging. Actually cared about the mystery a bit, which is saying something. Bloodstone has joined Holmes, Wolfe, and Marlowe in my pantheon of detectives I love.
Ruth M. Ross
This is a beautifully written book and will keep you glued to the pages to the very end. I cannot wait to read another Bloodstone book and I hope one is coming soon. I highly recommend this book as a fascinating reading experience.
Jackie Taylor Zortman
He wrapped an end in each hand and pulled. His fingers crept up the silk and he tugged a bit harder still. The material pressed deeper into the flesh of her neck. Bright pink dotted her cheeks and radiated down to her jaw. The veins in her temples popped out and pulsed in time to her heartbeat. She moaned, pushed her hips upward and writhed against him. Her soft pubic hair tickled his testicles. Isabeau's unsubtle way of letting him know she wanted him inside her. He obliged.
Her hands encircled his wrists. She tugged hard outward, harder than usual. A choked sigh escaped her. He paid no attention. This was standard. Isabeau always insisted he maintain pressure until she signaled for him to release his hold. In the past, when she reached the edge of consciousness, she'd beat along his upper arms. This time she thrashed her head back and forth, something he hadn't seen before. Her eyes bulged in an unattractive way and she clawed at him. Her nails gouged the skin on his hands, drawing blood.
She hurt him and he wanted to slap her. He almost let go of one end of the scarf to do that. Instead, he pulled tighter. Isabeau tried to insert her fingers into the spot where the material crossed over. Her mouth opened and shut, soundless and fishlike. She swatted at the mattress wildly. Red-faced to the point of being near purple, she bucked beneath him.
She fired his blood with her lack of inhibition. Never had she responded with such intensity. Raw power surged through him, primitive, animalistic. He pumped hard. Ready to climax, William clenched his fists, twisting the scarf one last turn. Odd, feathery touches tapped his biceps, feminine and subtle grazes, and then she went limp. Spent, he released his hold and collapsed on top of her, his heart pounding while he caught his breath.
Isabeau didn't move and her head stayed turned to the side. She hadn't cried out the way she normally did when sated. Perhaps she was disappointed with his effort. He gave the thought a mental shrug. At the end of the day, it really didn't matter. He'd arrange for her departure first thing in the morning.
William rolled over and slung a sweaty arm over his eyes. He tried to decide which was worse, telling her tonight the affair was over or waiting until morning. The idea of doing it after such a rambunctious sexual endeavor seemed bad form, but he wanted to get it over with. He turned onto his side, prepared for histrionics, caterwauling, great tears and verbal abuse.
"Isabeau, look at me. I've come to a decision and it will likely distress you." Nothing. She didn't stir. "Isabeau?"
He shook her by the arm. Still no response. William let go and her arm dropped listless to the mattress. He raised her arm again and let go. Again, it fell listless. He straddled her and patted her cheeks. Nothing. Her head twisted without resistance first right then left depending on the direction of his pat. He slapped her harder. Nothing. Vacant eyes stared fixed on the ceiling. He bent an ear to her chest. Nothing. William leapt from the bed, snatched a silver mirror from the dressing table, and held it under her nose. Nothing.
"Bitch." William hurled the mirror against the wall. "Bitch, whore," he raged and paced along the side of the bed. "I will not allow you to make my life a nightmare. This was your doing. I told you to leave me alone."
Excerpt 2
Events of the day and the potential satisfaction of giving Napier a bloody nose dwindled. Questions about the murder crept back into Ruddy's thoughts. Morris joined him at his table in the rear of the pub with a Guinness, the popular beer of choice in hand. "You've got the look of a man whose thoughts are a long distance from London."
"No, sadly my thoughts are fixed here in the city. I'm trying to figure out a clue. Ellis's roommate said she'd sometimes meet with a well-dressed man, a man of means the victim indicated. They'd meet up at the fountain by the British Museum."
"Don't know the spot but then the museum isn't my cup of tea."
"Not the point. I'm saying it's odd. What member of the upper class chooses to stroll through a public garden other than Hyde or Regents, where they can see and be seen by one of their own?"
"I agree the wealthy prefer the parks filled with others of their kind but it doesn't mean a man can't enjoy someplace different."
"We interviewed the guard again. The one that discovered the body walks that half of the building. He told us the majority of their male patrons are natty dressers, but he never saw a man like that loitering by the fountain."
"My guess is: the man is married and can't afford to run the risk of being seen by a friend of his wife's. Or, he might live or work in the area and the spot is convenient."
"Or, he's a murderer who's noticed the victim walking through the park on a regular basis, saw it as an opportunity and cozied up to her."
Ruddy took another swallow of his ale, mentally debating the merit of each theory. "I don't think he lives in the area. If so, he'd have cut through the park more and been seen by the guards. Not sure about the married man having a tryst idea."
To Ruddy's way of thinking, if the man was married and looking for a tumble, he'd have met her someplace other than the gardens and at a better hour.
Instinct drew him back to his original sense of the culprit and crime. "I feel like this was a crime of opportunity. I've thought it all along and can't shake the sense."
"If he was just seeking a victim, then why haven't you had more murders like this?" Morris asked.
Ruddy downed the rest of his beer and put his tankard on the edge of the table where June would refill it. "Everyone has to start somewhere. She might be number one."


Who hasn't wasted hours of precious time transcribing interviews? A new app produced by a team from the University of Missouri wants to make this onerous task a thing of the past.
Launched for iOS and the Apple Watch on Oct. 6, Recordly combines an instant transcription tool with recording features. With the app, journalists are able to record interviews on their phone, control the recording with their Apple Watch if they want and receive transcriptions in minutes.
Based on IBM's Watson artificial intelligence platform, the app provides a cheaper and timesaving alternative to other transcription methods such as contracted transcriptions, note-based apps (on average US$15/hour) and manual transcriptions.
Anyone can try Recordly for free. After the first hour of recording, it charges US$2 per hour of transcribed audio.
The app is easy to use. With one tap, journalists can record an interview, highlight and bookmark important passages, edit their drafts and send the transcription to their editors as well as share quotes on social media. Its integration with the Apple Watch allows reporters to leave their phones on a podium during a conference, for example, and control the recording from the audience.
The app was the winner of the 2016 Reynolds Journalism Institute Tech Showcase Student Competition, which brought students together from different areas to create innovative journalism tools.
The Recordly team consists of CEO John Gillis, a computer engineering student from the United States, journalism graduates Anna Maikova from Russia, Yaryna Mykhyalyshyn from Ukraine and Sintia Radu from Romania.
They bonded during the competition's initial meet n' greet event. "There we saw how we each had complementary skills and together came up with the idea from our past work in the field of journalism," Gillis said. The product took several months to be developed as the team constantly tested their prototype — and has continued to do so.
However, like with other AI and speech-recognition platforms such as Alexa or Siri, foreign accents can be tricky and may impact the product's performance.
Gillis explained that the accuracy of the transcripts vary depending on a couple of factors, primarily background noise and audio quality. "With a normal interview with good recording conditions, the accuracy will be well above 90 percent, even with an accent," he said.
Currently, Recordly is only available in English in the United States from the Apple App Store. But its multinational team is eager to expand internationally in the next few months and begin to support additional languages such as Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.
"We are a user-centric company, so we will go wherever our users request," Gillis said.
For the near future, the team is also working to add phone call recording and plan to bring Recordly to desktop and Android versions.

Q: React unit testing with Ava: Why is the function already wrapped? Even though I am using the afterEach I still get the following error:Attempted to wrap setTimeout which is already wrapped.What am I doing wrong?I am using ava to do this unit test. The test I am trying to create is very simple. It is pretty much check the render and  a click action. There is also a test to check if the setTimeOut function has been called with the right arguments.
import test from 'ava';
import React from 'react';
import { CartMessage } from 'components/Cart/CartMessage';
import { shallow, mount } from 'enzyme';
import { spy, stub } from 'sinon';

let props;
let popError;
let cartmessage;
let timeoutSpy;

test.beforeEach(() => {
  props = {
    message: 'testing',
    count: 2,
    popError: stub().returns(Promise.resolve()),
  };
  cartmessage = shallow(<CartMessage {...props}/>)

  timeoutSpy = spy(window, 'setTimeout');
});

test.afterEach(()=>{
  timeoutSpy.restore()
})

test('renders okay?', (t) => {
  t.truthy(Cartmessage)
});

test('componentDidMount calls setTimeout with proper args', t => {
  t.true(timeoutSpy.calledWithExactly(() => this.setState({ MessageOpen: true }), 1))
})

test('onClose called?', t => {
  const wrapper = shallow(<CartMessage {...props}  />);
  wrapper.find('i').simulate('click');
  t.true(timeoutSpy.calledWithExactly(this.props.popError, 1))
})

test('timeout i called with the right args', (t) => {
  t.true(timeoutSpy.calledWithExactly(this.props.popError, 1));
})

A: AVA runs tests in parallel, so the beforeEach is run for each of the tests before afterEach is run.
The quickest way to make this test work is to only use test.serial() in this file. That way all tests execute serially and the afterEach has a chance to clean up before the next beforeEach is run.

И́льмовая падь — крупнейший комплекс хуннских могильников II—I вв. до н. э., расположенный к востоку от села Усть-Кяхта Кяхтинского района Республики Бурятия, восточнее федеральной автомагистрали  (Кяхтинский тракт), в 23 км к северу от города Кяхта, в 212 км к югу от города Улан-Удэ.

Впервые исследован в 1896—1897 годах Ю. Д. Талько-Грынцевичем. Около 320 погребальных сооружений в виде выкладок из камня (в плане близки к квадрату) с дромосом с южной стороны. Обряд погребения подтверждает данные ханьских хроник о том, что хунны хоронили умерших в двойных деревянных гробах. Наряду с могилами рядового населения раскопаны монументальные захоронения представителей знати. Найденные здесь остатки шёлковых тканей, зеркала и другие китайские изделия свидетельствуют о связях хуннов с древним Китаем.

Могильники комплекса «Ильмовая падь»
Ильмовая падь I — могильник (железный век). Расположен в 8,5 км на восток от села Усть-Кяхта, в 23 км к северу от города Кяхта, в 1,5—2 км от Кяхтинского тракта. Могильник занимает северный, покрытый лесом, пологий склон пади, общей площадью 2 км². Насчитывается около 320 могил разной конфигурации и размеров. Царские курганы имеют невысокие насыпи, диаметром от 20 до 30 м; рядовые — от 3 до 5 м с западинами в центре. К царским курганам с юга примыкает длинный узкий каменный шлейф, по краю которого выступают каменные оградки.

Могильник датируется I в. н. э. Открыт Ю. Д. Талько-Грынцевичем в 1896 году. Им было раскопано 33 могилы. В 1928—1929 годах Г. П. Сосновский раскопал 11 могил; в 1950 году А. П. Окладников составил план захоронений; в 1967—1972 и 1974—1976 годах исследования проводил П. Б. Коновалов — раскопано 14 могил; в 1994—1996 годах работы проводились экспедицией БИОНа (рук. С. В. Данилов) по музеефикации царских курганов и памятника в целом. С 1999 года к изучению могильника приступает Байкальская экспедиция под руководством Б. Б. Дашибалова. В 1999—2001 годах в Ильмовой пади проведена инструментальная съёмка.

Коллекции хранятся в Кяхтинском краеведческом музее им. Обручева, Музее БНЦ СО РАН, ИМБТ СО РАН. Талько-Грынцевич, 1898; Сосновский, 1949; Коновалов, 1976; Хамзина, 1982; Данилов, 1996.

Ильмовая падь II (Хана-Шулуун) — могильник (бронзовый век).
Находится в 7,5—8 км к юго-востоку от села Усть-Кяхта под скалой с петроглифами, в 0,25 км восточнее Кяхтинского тракта. Зафиксированы 15 плиточных могил, 4 из которых разрушены, 1 херексур с диаметром кургана 10—11 м, круглая оградка. На отдельных камнях просматриваются изображения, подобные изображениям на писанице.

Открыт в 1950 году Р. Ф. Тугутовым. В том же году А. П. Окладниковым раскопан херексур.Окладников, 1950; Ташак, 1995.

Ильмовая Падь III (Капчеранка) — могильник (средневековье).
Находится в 8 км на юго-восток от села Усть-Кяхта, в 1 км восточнее Кяхтинского тракта. Отмечалось около 50 могил, выраженных на поверхности каменными кладками. Находки: обломки ножниц, скобка из толстой пластины, фрагменты неорнаментированной керамики, берёста, обломки железных предметов, бронзовая сердцевидная бляшка, клиновидный кельт, обломки наконечников стрел, обломки бронзового зеркала с иероглифами, бусы, остатки одежды из ткани.

В настоящее время зафиксировано несколько курганных кладок эпохи средневековья (VIII—XI веков). Западная часть могильника полностью распахана.

Открыт Г. П. Сосновским в 1928 году. В 1928 году А. М. Виноградова и С. А. Успенский раскопали в пади 18 могил, в 1929 году Сосновский — 3 могилы.

Salvini: Italian Coast Guard Should Ignore Migrants in Distress
Italian coastguardsmen respond to migrants in distress off Libya (file image courtesy Marina Militare)
By The Maritime Executive 06-27-2018 05:33:19
Italy's hard-line minister of the interior, Matteo Salvini, has suggested that the Italian Coast Guard and Navy should ignore distress calls from maritime migrants off Libya. Instead, he proposed, SAR duties in international waters of the central Mediterranean should fall to the Libyan Coast Guard, which receives Italian assistance.
SOLAS obligates masters to provide assistance to persons in distress, "regardless of the nationality or status of such persons or the circumstances in which they are found." However, the chapter in question does not apply to warships, naval auxiliaries and other government-owned vessels, and only encourages them to comply if possible. If Salvini's suggestion were implemented, the commanding officers of Italy's cutters and warships could be out of alignment with the rule, but might not be out of compliance.
The proposal came after Salvini's return from a trip to Libya, where he discussed the creation of migrant processing centers with officials of the Libyan Government of National Accord, one of two factions that control Libya's coastline.
In a meeting with GNA interior minister Abdulsalam Ashour and vice president Ahmed Maiteeq, Salvini proposed that new reception centers should be set up to process migrants arriving from Sub-Saharan Africa, but not within Libya's borders. The GNA is opposed to the creation of new large-scale facilities for migrants on Libyan territory, and Salvini suggested instead that centers should be set up in Sudan, Chad, Niger and Mali. About 60 percent of migrants transiting Libya are from Sub-Saharan Africa.
The GNA is the internationally-recognized government of Libya, and controls the western coast of the country from Zawiya to Sirte; the competing government of Khalifa Haftar and his Libyan National Army controls the eastern half from Ras Lanuf to Tobruk (with exceptions). Most maritime migrants transiting Libya pass through GNA-controlled areas on their way to the Mediterranean.

The fastest of the IDE steppers, very racy looking in the flesh, and a good drive.
This was Miniscribe's last gasp, Miniscribe's last attempt to deliver modern, reliable product before the company went broke and Maxtor took it over. And, in a way, the attempt was successful — it didn't save the company, but the 8051A was just about the only Miniscribe drive to resurface with a Maxtor badge. As for the rest of the Miniscribe product line — Maxtor junked it.
I got my hands on one of these drives, and while it may sound like a stepper, it's not — I opened it, and it uses a rather odd actuator, sort of the converse of a rotary voice coil (it works the same way, only the coil is stationary and the magnet moves). I'm fairly sure this drive uses embedded-sector servo. By the way, compare the squeal it makes on startup to the one the Maxtor 7120 (and possibly the 7040 or 7080) makes. They're pretty close, and apparently, so is the hardware. It would seem this drive was pretty much ancestral to the entire 7000 series, and by extension the DiamondMaxes of today (which, if you check the labels, still have the old Miniscribe-style HDA/FIRMWARE/UNIQUE/UPLEVEL and date code stamps on them). MiniScribe may no longer exist as such, but their legacy, such as it is, is definitely still with us.

Jackson one year on: a brave new world of fear and uncertainty
'There seems to be a big stick approach to the way litigation is conducted and an air of unreality over what can be described as trivial'
Twitter Linkedin Facebook Add comment
Perhaps it was too good to be true. The Jackson report implemented with properly resourced courts and without the civil legal aid cuts. Cheaper, more efficient litigation, which encouraged more people to enforce their rights, instead of massive court fee increases.
Lawyers held their breath last year to see how the Jackson reforms would really be implemented, and then there was Mitchell. The roof fell in and, as the dust settled, so did what John Bramhall, new president of London Solicitors Litigation Association, described as a new "climate of fear".
Bramhall said the "message from the top" from the senior judiciary, at last month's Civil Justice Council conference, was "unrelenting and unapologetic".
He went on: "I find it a little depressing. There seems to be a big stick approach to the way litigation is conducted and an air of unreality over what can be described as trivial.
"The developing case law is inconsistent and there is no guidance as to what is the correct approach. There is going to be uncertainty and increased nervousness across the profession, along with more negligence claims over missed time limits."
Bramhall said the profession was under "incessant pressure" from Jackson, Mitchell, pressures on court fees and guideline hourly rates.
"There's not a lot of good news, though London remains a world centre of legal disputes, whether through litigation or arbitration. Grayling makes this point, and this is the message everyone wants to get out."
However, Bramhall said the Mitchell ruling had created a "climate of fear" and solicitors could now be criticised by clients for not taking what would have been seen as 'silly points'.
"There needs to be a level of understanding between solicitors before cases can be resolved. The Commercial Court is showing a greater level of sympathy as to what it deems
to be trivial and what is a
good reason."
Bramhall said the '28-day buffer', which would allow parties to agree time extensions of up to 28 days without applying to the court, could
offer some help, but he had failed to identify any other crumbs of comfort.
David Marshall, managing partner of Anthony Gold, said there was some evidence that fewer low-value public liability cases, like trips and slips,
were being brought in the post-Jackson era. This was because cases were often risky and success fees needed to be higher than the limit of
25 per cent.
Another concern was the failure of DBAs to get off the ground in the way Jackson wanted.
"He made it clear that DBAs were part of the package, and the Civil Justice Council feels the regulations have not allowed them to be used," Marshall said.
He said Lord Faulks, the justice minister, who attended the
CJC conference, said the MoJ would be taking another look
at the regulations.
"I am sure he understands what the problem is, and may be able to bring a fresh perspective, but I am not particularly hopeful," Marshall said.
He added that the CJC conference was dominated by Mitchell. "The Master of the Rolls was hardly going to stand up and say: 'I've got it completely wrong.' In the summing up session, he said that the way
we do things in this country
is by case law, there will be
other cases and things will
settle down."
John Spencer, vice president of APIL, said that there was evidence that low-value claims were falling across the board.
"I don't adhere to the ABI belief that this is great news for access to justice," Spencer said.
He said the number of notified RTA portal claims from May 2013 to February 2014 was 10 per cent down on the previous year.
Spencer said there was also evidence of "significantly lower than expected" numbers of claims on the employer's liability and public liability portals.
Rather than reducing after
the abolition of referral fees, Spencer said the costs of acquiring personal injury cases had gone up.
"It is not realistic to presume that solicitors working in the personal injury sector spend nothing to generate work," Spencer said.
There was a further problem with high-risk and complicated cases, in that the 25 per cap was not high enough to make some of them commercially viable.
"In order for these problems to be overcome, some action is required. It is not an option for the MoJ to say that life should continue as it ever did. There are real impacts on genuine victims who have suffered injury and need to be protected."
Living in fear
"There is a huge jurisprudence building up around Mitchell. It reminds me of automatic striking out in the period before Woolf. The whole system virtually went into meltdown, and at the end they got rid of it all and Woolf came in. I can see the same thing happening now.
"Everyone is taking ridiculous points, frightened of being struck out for technical reasons and it's dangerous to trust anyone any more. The whole point of Woolf was to foster a 'cards on the table' approach. We've lost sight of that and we're in great danger of losing the benefits of Woolf.
"Jackson's approach is that of course lawyers will moan about changes, but you have to give them time. The problem is the lack of court resources. Why do they produce reports based on more resources when, in fact, there are fewer? Instead of giving control to practitioners, there is more court control, but is that achievable?
The courts are short of resources and yet we are spending a huge amount on highly technical points.
"They have introduced a system where you have to keep going back to the courts to do anything. Budgeting hearings take a lot longer than ordinary hearings. There are a huge number of applications for extensions. I'm not sure they have thought through the impact of all this.
"The Court of Appeal may take the opportunity to set clearer guidelines on what is trivial, and what isn't, but I'm not that hopeful. The pace of case law doesn't move that quickly. In the costs wars, judges tended to stick to the facts of the cases before them. I fear we are into that sort of mode."

Just a little 1010 puzzle game. Here's how to play the current version.
Once you've selected a shape (see below), the arrow keys will move it around on the board. The A button will drop it in that position and switch back to selection mode.
While in moving mode, the LED color indicates if the shape will fit where it is: green for yes or go ahead and place, red for no.
You start the game in selection mode, choosing from up to three shapes. The current shape is show on the left side of the screen. Each available shape is indicated by a - to the left of the displayed shape, with the current shape being a +. Once a shape is placed, it's symbol is gone.
The left arrow places the current shape in the upper right corner and changes to moving mode.
The A button will try and find a place where it fits, making the LED red while it searches. If it finds one, it switches to moving mode. If the shape will not fit on the current board, the LED goes off and you are left in selection mode.
At any time, you can hit the B button and pause the game. This opens the menu so you can start a new game if you want.
Resume - restart a game if paused.
If it ever becomes impossible to place any of the available pieces, the game ends.

Q: LogicApp Same Name Values from different Nodes into single array of values I have a parse JSON step which outputs this sort of structure
[
  {
    "Value": "Sample Value 1"
  },
  {
    "Value": "Sample Value 2"
  }
]

I would like to transform the following structure
[
"Sample Value 1",
"Sample Value 2"
]

Thanks in advance

A: You need to loop over the original array and the value of add each value property to a linear string based array.
This flows shows you the basic steps ...

Firstly, I created a new variable of type Array that stored your original data.
Next, I initialised another variable that will hold the results of the output.  When initialised, it was with no value.
Finally, using a For each action, I loop over the original array and within that, there's an Append to array variable step which adds in the value of the value property for each item to the Simple Array variable.  The expression in the *Value field is ...
item()?['value']

... that will retrieve the value for each item and append it accordingly.
This is the end result ...

One thing to note is, if you want the simple array to be in the same order as the original array values, you need to go to the settings on the For each step and turn concurrency on to equals 1.

How rich is Ann Miller? For this question we spent 9 hours on research (Wikipedia, Youtube, we read books in libraries, etc) to review the post.
:How tall is Ann Miller – 1,60m.
Johnnie Lucille Collier (April 12, 1923 – January 22, 2004), known professionally as Ann Miller, was an American dancer, singer and actress. She is best remembered for her work in the Hollywood musical films of the 1940s and 1950s.


In Part 1, we looked into MDS and SOAINFRA tables to gain an understanding of data structure related to composite deployment and instance creation. At the end of Part 1, we can summarize, in the following, the key data pieces created in MDS and SOAINFRA due to deploying, redeploying our test composite and creating two composite instances.
— Two sets of data in the runtime tables for the two BPM instances created. Data set for instance 1 has the first SCA label and that for instance 2 has the second label.
With this background knowledge, we will try to trigger Bug# 20517579 and thus the MDS 00054 error. We will then check for any changes in MDS and SOAINFRA tables.
Bug# 20517579 exists in the SOAINFRA layer of the Oracle SOA Suite products. It is triggered in 12.1.3 (or earlier version) by a composite deployment failure. Let's say the current active version of your composite is 1.0. For some reason (bug fix for example), you have to redeploy the same composite with the same verion 1.0 (rather than 1.1). If the redeployment fails, Bug# 20517579 causes all MDS artifacts related to version 1.0 to be deleted. As a result, after you restart server, you will get an MDS 00054 error and the previously active composite version 1.0 disappears from the server along with all of its human tasks.
There are many ways to cause the redeployment failure. In BPM, we have seen for a few times this failure caused by incompatible changes made in BPM processes. It is quite easy to make this error when you modify a BPM process. So we will make an incompatible change in our test process to trigger the bug.
What is in MDS now?
By looking into the MDS data using the MDS Explorer, you will see the SCA label is still in the deployed-composite.xml file. As a result, the composite is still deployed from the SOAINFRA point of view. When it tries to start up the composite, the SOAINFRA needs to access source files of the composite (composite.xml being one of the source files). But if you check the folder "default", you will see the source folder of the composite has disappeared as it is deleted mistakenly due to the bug.
As this point, you won't be able to see our test composite in EM and its related human tasks in Workspace.
What is in SOAINFRA tables?
If you check the tables mentioned in Part 1, you will see nothing has changed in any of the tables. This indicates to us that even though we can access our running instances in EM and Workspace, they are still intact in the DB store.
In Part 3 (last part) of this blog, we will look at a way to restore the composite and its existing instances.

High speed EXILIM with powerful image stabilization
Casio Computer Co has released the EX-ZR800, a new model in its popular High Speed EXILIM line of digital cameras. With all the responsive photo-taking features of a High Speed EXILIM, the new camera also packs a powerful 18x optical zoom and comes with 5-axis, 5-stop image stabilization.
With the aim of providing digital cameras that enable people to capture fleeting moments with beautiful images, Casio has been pursuing the full potential of the compact digital camera using its original high-speed technologies. This effort is based on the company's "Triple Zero" development objective, which seeks to minimize and eliminate shutter lag, out-of-focus shots, and image blurring due to camera shake.
The new EX-ZR800 uses highly advanced image stabilization technology to virtually eliminate the impact of camera shake, a common problem which has been the cause of many a ruined photograph.
A powerful 25 mm wide-angle, 18x optical zoom lens is fitted elegantly into the compact body. When shooting in HS Anti Shake mode, camera shake occurring along five axes (Vertical Shift, Horizontal Shift, etc.) is precisely corrected. Going even further, Casio has integrated optical image stabilization (2 stops) with its technology for combining high-speed burst images (up to 9 shots) to achieve stabilization equivalent to 5 stops slower in terms of shutter speed. This allows users to take amazingly crisp, clear photos without a tripod—even night scenes and zoom shots—making the camera ideal for capturing images like city lights while traveling or zoom photos of children playing or competing in sporting events.
The new camera also features other enhanced shooting functions. This is the first EXILIM to have a Time Lapse function that allows users to capture the movement of clouds in the sky, or people and cars at an intersection, showing long-time movement sped up. Casio has added a new "sparkling shot" filter effect to ART Shot, which lets users create original artistic photos and movies. These functions make it easy to take creative shots without changing lenses or making complicated settings.

I wonder how all these new functions will affect its battery life. Up to now Casio models have been consistently at the top in terms of number of shots taken from a full charge.
