Deploying Applications From the Command Line
Payara Micro Community supports deploying applications directly from the command line.
Deploying an Application
As noted in the section Starting an Instance, all Payara Micro actions are run for the Payara Micro JAR, all in one command.
The general structure of starting, configuring, and deploying an application to an instance is as follows:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --option1 --option2 ...
Using Persistent Configuration Directory
When persistent configuration directory is reused across restarts (i. e. not running in a container), it is recommended not to specify deployment each time Payara Micro is invoked from that directory. Doing so will cause the application to be deployed twice — once at startup and second time when deployment section of the command line is processed.
The best approach if your application uses persistent filesystem is to use warmup run for deployment:
# perform deployments and configuration
java -jar payara-micro.jar --rootdir micro-root --warmup application.war
# all further invocations do not specify deployment
java -jar payara-micro.jar --rootdir micro-root
Alternatively a launcher can be generated for configured root directory as well:
# perform deployments and configuration
java -jar payara-micro.jar --rootdir micro-root --warmup application.war
java -jar payara-micro.jar --rootdir micro-root --outputlauncher
# all further invocations use parameterless launcher
java -jar micro-root/launch-micro.jar
Deploying an Application Package
To deploy a WAR file to an instance, you need to use the --deploy
option, followed
by the path to the application to deploy. See below for an example of starting a
Payara Micro Community instance and deploying a WAR file:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deploy /home/user/example.war
Since 220.127.116.11 and 5.181 the --deploy option is optional if your deployment file
ends with .jar , .rar or .war therefore the command line below can also be used
java -jar payara-micro.jar /home/user/example.war
Deploying an Exploded War
An exploded war can be deployed to a Payara Micro Community instance just be specifying
the path to the exploded war root directory on the --deploy
command line or
via the API. The exploded war can be redeployed by creating a file .reload
in the root directory of the exploded war and updating its timestamp for example
using touch .reload
in a LINUX machine.
Deploying Multiple Applications
If you want to deploy multiple applications to an instance with the --deploy
option, you must use it once for each application to be deployed; it does not
accept multiple paths.
For example, to deploy 2 applications:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deploy /home/user/example.war --deploy /home/user/test.war
Alternatively, you can use the --deploymentDir
option. This option specifies
a directory to scan for deployable archives, allowing you to store all of the
applications you wish to be deployed in a directory, and have them be deployed
automatically upon instance startup.
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deploymentDir /home/user/deployments
Deploying Applications from a Maven repository
You can deploy an application directly from a Maven repository using the
option. This option accepts a comma separated string denoting
a Maven artefact's groupId, artifactId, and version attributes.
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deployFromGAV "fish.payara.examples,test,1.0-SNAPSHOT"
This option can be used multiple times, and in conjunction with the standard
By default, Payara Micro will only search for artefacts in the Maven Central
repository. If you wish to search additional repositories, you can add them to
the list of repositories to search with the --additionalRepository
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deployFromGAV "fish.payara.examples,test,1.0-SNAPSHOT" --additionalRepository https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/promoted/
To search through multiple additional repositories, you can simply specify the option multiple times:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deployFromGAV "fish.payara.examples,test,1.0-SNAPSHOT" --additionalRepository https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/promoted/ --additionalRepository https://raw.github.com/payara/Payara_PatchedProjects/master/
Define context root
The context root of an application can be specified using the option --contextroot
or by appending the path to the war-file name given with the --deploy
A context root set using the option --contextroot <context-path>
applies to the applciation of the first --deploy
parameter that does not already specify a context root with its --deploy
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deploy /home/user/example.war --contextroot hello-world
The root context of the example.war
application is now set to /hello-world
Alternatively the context root can be included in the argument to the --deploy
option. It follows the path to the war file separated by File.pathSeparator
--deploy <war-file>:<context-path>
(Linux uses:
) -
--deploy <war-file>;<context-path>
(Windows uses;
java -jar payara-micro.jar --deploy /home/user/example.war:hello-world
The above command again results in the effective root context /hello-world
The two methods can also be used together:
java -jar payara-micro.jar --contextroot bar
--deploy /home/user/example.war:foo
--deploy /home/user/test.war
Here example.war
is deployed in /foo
while test.war
is deployed in /bar
--deploy example.war: is identical to --deploy example.war:/ and deploys to the effective context root / while --deploy example.war deploys to /example .
It follows that leading / can be given but aren't required. However, tailing / must not be given. Using --deploy example.war:/foo/ renders the URL <host>/foo/ inaccessible.

Politics Without God?
George Weigel on Europe's Malaise
Here are excerpts from an address given by George Weigel at the Gregorian University this month. Weigel is a senior fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C.

Politics Without God?
Reflections on Europe and America
By George Weigel
At the far western end of the axis that traverses Paris from the Louvre down the Champs Elysées and through the Arc de Triomphe is the Great Arch of La Défense. Designed by a sternly modernist Danish architect, the Great Arch is a colossal open cube: almost 40 stories tall, faced in glass and 2.47 acres of white Carrara marble. Its rooftop terrace offers an unparalleled view of the French capital, past the Tuilleries to the Ile de la Cité, Sante Chapelle, and Notre-Dame.
The arch's three-story high roof also houses the International Foundation for Human Rights. For President François Mitterrand planned the Great Arch as a human rights monument, something suitably gigantic to mark the bicentenary of the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. Thus, in one guidebook, the Great Arch was dubbed "Fraternity Arch." That same guidebook, like every other one I consulted, emphasized that the entire Cathedral of Notre-Dame would fit comfortably inside the Great Arch.
All of which raised some questions, as I walked along that terrace in 1997. Which culture would better protect human rights and secure the moral foundations of democracy? The culture that built this rational, geometrically precise, but essentially featureless cube? Or the culture that produced the gargoyles and flying buttresses, the asymmetries and holy "unsameness" of Notre-Dame and the other great Gothic cathedrals of Europe?
Those questions have come back to me, if in different forms, as I've tried to understand Europe in recent years. How, for example, should one understand the fierce argument in Europe over whether a new constitutional treaty for the European Union should include a reference to the Christian sources of European civilization? Why did so many European intellectuals and political leaders deem any reference to the Christian sources of contemporary Europe civilization a threat to human rights and democracy?
Was there some connection between this internal European debate over Europe's constitution-making and the portrait in the European press of Americans (and especially an American president) as religious fanatics intent on shooting up the world? Was there a further connection between this debate and the fate of Rocco Buttiglione's candidacy for the post of Commissioner of Justice on the European Commission?
Understanding these phenomena requires something more than a conventional political analysis. Nor can political answers explain the reasons behind perhaps the most urgent issue confronting Europe today — the fact that Western Europe is committing demographic suicide, its far-below-replacement-level birthrates creating enormous pressures on the European welfare state and a demographic vacuum into which Islamic immigrants are flowing in increasing numbers, often becoming radicalized in the process.
My proposal is that Europe is experiencing a crisis of cultural and civilizational morale whose roots are also taking hold in some parts quarters of American society and culture. Understanding and addressing this crisis means confronting the question posed sharply, if unintentionally, by those guidebooks that boast about the alleged superiority of the Great Arch to Notre-Dame: the question of the cube and the cathedral, and their relationship to both the meaning of freedom and the future of democracy.
To suggest that Europe is living through a "crisis of civilizational morale" is a very broad description. Let me raise some specific issues that point toward that conclusion — and to the necessity of a cultural, indeed theological, analysis of Europe's situation today.
— Why, in the aftermath of 1989, did Europeans fail to condemn communism as a moral and political monstrosity? Why was the only politically acceptable judgment on communism the rather banal observation that it "didn't work"?
— Why, as historian John Keegan puts it, do Europeans often espouse "a philosophy of international action that actually rejected action and took refuge in the belief that all conflicts of interest were to be settled by consultation, conciliation, and the intervention of international agencies"?
— What accounts for disturbing currents of irrationality in contemporary European politics? Why did one of every five Germans (and one-third of those under 30) believe that the United States was responsible for 9/11, while some 300,000 French men and women made a best seller out of "L'Effroyable Imposture" [The Appalling Fraud], in which the author, Thierry Meyssan, argued that the twin towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed by the U.S. military, using remote-controlled airliners?
— Why did the voters of Spain give a de facto victory to appeasement in their March 2004 elections, held days after Al-Qaeda operatives killed hundreds and wounded thousands by bombing a Madrid train station?
— Why is Europe retreating from democracy and binding itself ever tighter in the cords of bureaucracy? Why do European states find it virtually impossible to make hard domestic political decisions — as on the length of the workweek or the funding of pensions? Why is Europe on the way to what French political philosopher Pierre Manent calls "depoliticization?" Why does Manent have "the impression today that the greatest ambition of Europeans is to become the inspectors of American prisons"?
— Why are so many European public intellectuals "Christophobic," as international legal scholar J.H.H. Weiler (himself an observant Jew) puts it? Why is European high culture so contemptuous of both religious and secular tradition, as French philosopher Rémi Brague has pointed out?
— Why do certain parts of Europe exhibit a curious, even bizarre, approach to death? Why did so many of the French prefer to continue their summer vacations during the European heat wave of 2003, leaving their parents unburied and warehoused in refrigerated lockers? Why is death increasingly anonymous in Germany, with no death notice in the newspapers, no church funeral ceremony, no secular memorial service — "as though," as Richard John Neuhaus observed, "the deceased did not exist"?
— Above all, why is Europe committing demographic suicide, systematically depopulating itself in what British historian Niall Ferguson calls the greatest "sustained reduction in European population since the Black Death of the 14th century"?
— Why do 18 European countries report "negative natural increase" (i.e., more deaths than births)?
— Why does no Western European country have a replacement-level birthrate?
— Why is Germany likely to lose the equivalent of the population of the former East Germany in the first half of the 21st century?
— Why will Spain's population decline from 40 million to 31 million by 2050?
— Why will 42% of Italians be over 60 by 2050 — at which point, on present trends, almost 60% of the Italian people will have no brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, or uncles?
— What is happening when an entire continent, wealthier and healthier than ever before, declines to create the human future in the most elemental sense, by creating a next generation? ...
Probing to the deeper roots of Europe's crisis of civilizational morale is important for understanding Europe today and for discerning whatever promising paths of European renewal there may be. Getting at the roots of "Europe's problem" is also important for understanding a set of problems Americans may face in the not-too-distant future. And that means that both Europeans and Americans must learn to think in new ways about the dynamics of history.
During 13 years of research and teaching in east central Europe, I've been impressed by what might be called the Slavic view of history. You can find it in a great thinker who lived in the borderland between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Vladimir Soloviev, who challenged the fashionable nihilism and materialism of the late 19th century.
You can find it in 19th-century Polish novelists, poets and playwrights, who, breaking with the Jacobin conviction that "revolution" meant a complete rupture with the past, insisted that genuine "revolution" meant the recovery of lost spiritual and moral values. You can find it in such intellectual leaders of the anti-communist resistance in east central Europe as Karol Wojtyla, Václav Havel and Václav Benda, who all argued that "living in the truth" could change what seemed unchangeable in history.
The common thread among these disparate thinkers is the conviction that the deepest currents of "history" are spiritual and cultural, rather than political and economic. "History" is not simply the byproduct of the contest for power in the world — although power plays an important role in history. And "history" is certainly not the exhaust fumes produced by the means of production, as the Marxists taught.
Rather, "history" is driven by culture — by what men and women honor, cherish, and worship; by what societies deem to be true and good and noble; by the expressions they give to those convictions in language, literature and the arts; by what individuals and societies are willing to stake their lives on.
Poland is one embodiment of this way of thinking, which Poles believe has been vindicated empirically by their own modern history. For 123 years, from 1795 to 1918, the Polish state was erased from Europe. Yet during that century and a quarter the Polish nation survived with such vigor that it could give birth to a new Polish state in 1918. And despite the fact that the revived Polish state was then beset for 50 years by the plagues of Nazism and communism, the Polish nation proved strong enough to give a new birth of freedom to east central Europe in the Revolution of 1989.
How did this happen? Poland survived — better, Poland prevailed — because of culture: a culture formed by a distinctive language, by a unique literature, and by an intense Catholic faith (which, an its noblest and deepest expressions, was ecumenical and tolerant, not xenophobic, as so many stereotypes have it). Poles know in their bones that culture is what drives history over the long haul.
This "Slavic view of history" is really a classically Christian way of thinking about history, whose roots can be traced back at least as far as St. Augustine and "The City of God." Yet, it is the Slavs who have been, in our time, the most powerful exponents of this "culture-first" understanding of the dynamics of the world's story. ...
World War I, the Great War, was the product of a crisis of civilizational morality, a failure of moral reason in a culture that had given the world the very concept of "moral reason." That crisis of moral reason led to a crisis of civilizational morale that is much with us today.
This latter crisis has only become visible since the end of the Cold War. Its effects were first masked by the illusory peace between World War I and World War II; then by the rise of totalitarianism and the Great Depression; then by World War II itself; and then by the Cold War. It was only after 1991, when the 77-year-long political-military crisis that began in 1914 had ended, that the long-term effects of Europe's "rage of self-mutilation" could come to the surface of history and be seen for what they were — and for what they are.
The damage done to the fabric of European culture and civilization in the Great War could only been seen clearly when the Great War's political effects had been cleared from the board in 1991. Recognizing that damage for what it is brings into sharper focus the contemporary European cultural and political situation and its lessons for the United States.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's insight into the meaning of the Great War reinforces the intuition that we should look to the realm of culture for a deeper explanation of the currents of history. So let us take a first step in reading history the old-fashioned way — St. Augustine's way — through lenses ground by the tools of theology. And that brings us to another Christian analyst of modern European history.
Henri de Lubac was one of 20th-century Catholicism's most distinguished theologians. Like other Europeans who had witnessed the Continent's travail during the first four and a half decades of the century, Father de Lubac was haunted by the question, "What happened?" Or, perhaps more to the point, "Why had what happened, happened?"
Father de Lubac was fascinated by the history of ideas, which he knew to be fraught with "real world" consequences. Thus, during the early 1940s, he turned his attention to some of the most influential intellectual figures in pre-20th century European culture. The result was a book, "The Drama of Atheistic Humanism" ["Le Drame de l'humanisme athée"], which argued that the civilizational crisis in which Europe found itself during World War II was the product of a deliberate rejection of the God of the Bible in the name of authentic human liberation.
This, de Lubac suggested, was a great reversal. In the classical world, the gods, or Fate, played games with men and women, often with lethal consequences. In the face of these experiences, the revelation of the God of the Bible — the self-disclosure in history of the one God who was neither a willful tyrant (to be avoided) nor a carnivorous predator (to be appeased) nor a remote abstraction (to be safely ignored) — was perceived as a great liberation. Human beings were neither the playthings of the gods nor the passive victims of Fate. Because they could have access to the one true God through prayer and worship, those who believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Jesus could bend history in a humane direction. History was thus an arena of responsibility and purpose.
Yet what biblical man had perceived as liberation, the proponents of atheistic humanism perceived as bondage. Human freedom could not co-exist with the God of Jews and Christians. Human greatness required rejecting the biblical God, according to atheistic humanism.
This, Father de Lubac argued, was something new. This was not the atheism of skeptical individuals. This was atheistic humanism — atheism with a developed ideology and a program for remaking the world. As a historian of ideas, de Lubac knew that bad ideas can have lethal consequences. At the heart of the darkness inside the great mid-20th century tyrannies [of] communism, fascism, Nazism, Father de Lubac discerned the lethal effects of the marriage between modern technology and the ideas borne by atheistic humanism.
He summed up the results of this misbegotten union in these terms: "It is not true, as is sometimes said, that man cannot organize the world without God. What is true is that, without God, he can only organize it against man." That is what the tyrannies of the mid-20th century had proven — ultramundane humanism is inevitably inhuman humanism. And inhuman humanism cannot neither sustain nor defend the democratic project. It can only undermine it or attack it. ...
The argument over acknowledging any Christian contribution to the democratic civilization of the 21st century may have clarified the understandings of "democracy" and "human rights" that shape contemporary European high culture and the political elite in the Brussels-Paris-Berlin axis, but it also raised serious questions about Europe's capacity to defend its democracy, morally and philosophically.
If democratic institutions and procedures are the expressions of a distinctive way of life based on specific moral commitments, then democratic citizenship must be more than a matter of following the procedures and abiding by the laws and regulations agreed upon by the institutions A democratic citizen is someone who can give an account of his or her commitment to human rights, to the rule of law and equality before the law, to decision-making by the majority and protection of the rights of minorities. Democratic citizenship means being able to tell why one affirms "the universal values of the inviolable and inalienable rights of the human person, democracy, equality, freedom and the rule of law," to cite the preamble to the European constitution. Who can give such an account?
Here is one of the richest ironies involved in the question of the cube and the cathedral. The original charge against Christians in the Roman empire was that they were "atheists": people who were "a-theos," people who had abandoned the gods of Rome and who were thus a threat to public life and public order. To be a-theos was to stand outside and over-against the political community.
The "Christophobia" of contemporary European high culture turns this indictment inside out and upside down: Christianity cannot be acknowledged as a source of European democracy because the only public space safe for pluralism, tolerance, civility, and democracy is a public space that is thoroughly a-theos.
It is all very strange. For the truth of the matter is that European Christians can likely give a more compelling account of their commitment to democratic values than their fellow Europeans who are a-theos — who believe that "neutrality toward worldviews" must characterize democratic Europe. A postmodern or neo-Kantian "neutrality toward worldviews" cannot be truly tolerant; it can only be indifferent.
Absent convictions, there is no tolerance; there is only indifference. Absent some compelling notion of the truth that requires us to be tolerant of those who have a different understanding of the truth, there is only skepticism and relativism. And skepticism and relativism are very weak foundations on which to build and sustain a pluralistic democracy, for neither skepticism nor relativism, by their own logic, can "give an account" of why we should be tolerant and civil.
In contrast to this thin account of tolerance — we should be tolerant because it works better — there is the argument for tolerance given by Pope John Paul II in his 1989 encyclical letter on Christian mission, "Redemptoris Missio" [The Mission of the Redeemer]. There the Pope taught that "The Church proposes; she imposes nothing." The Catholic Church respects the "other" as an "other" who is also a seeker of truth and goodness; the Church only asks that the believer and the "other" enter into a dialogue that leads to mutual enrichment rather than to a deeper skepticism about the possibility of grasping the truth of things.
The Catholic Church believes it to be the will of God that Christians be tolerant of those who have a different view of God's will, or no view of God's will. Thus Catholics (and other Christians who share this conviction) can "give an account" of their defense of the "other's" freedom, even if the "other," skeptical and relativist, finds it hard to "give an account" of the freedom of the Christian. That the Church did not always behave according to these convictions is obvious from history.
The point today is that the Church recognizes, publicly, that acts of coercion undertaken in its name were offenses against its own true doctrine. That is why, on March 12, 2000, Pope John Paul II led a "Day of Pardon" at St. Peter's Basilica. This was not an exercise in Catholic political correctness, nor was this pandering to approved victim groups. This was confession: an acknowledgment of sin and a plea for divine mercy that recommitted the Church to live the truth it professed about the freedom of the human person.
A community capable of such acts — the community of the cathedral, if you will — is a community capable of learning from the past, capable of a reformed life. A community capable of such acts of public repentance is a community that can give a compelling account of its commitments to freedom.
Can others? Can those who are a-theos — can the people of the cube — grapple with the dark passages on European history caused by radically secularist understandings of the human person, human community, and human destiny: the Reign of Terror, Nazism, and communism?
These concerns are not, let me repeat, the products of American Euro-phobia, nor are they the result of the sharp division between much of Europe and the United States over the Iraq War. Indeed, there is nothing very original in my reading of Europe's current condition: You can find the same points of concern in John Paul II's 2003 apostolic exhortation, "Ecclesia in Europa." There, the Pope suggests that, within Europe itself, there is an intuition that a "Europe" of political, legal and economic structures alone is insufficient. Like John Paul II, thoughtful Europeans are asking whether a "Europe" that represents the continentwide triumph of bureaucratic regulation is all that might be hoped for.
The debate over the "invocatio Dei" in the new European constitution was also the present and the future, not just the past. Those who insisted that there be no overt recognition that Christianity played a decisive role in the formation of European civilization did not do so in the name of "tolerance," despite their claims to the contrary. They did so because they are committed to the proposition that there can be politics-without-God: that a Europe free, tolerant, civil, and pluralistic can only be built as a public space from which the God of the Bible has been excluded.
That this position is shared by more than a few American political, judicial, intellectual, and cultural leaders is obvious, and suggests that what has been unfolding in Europe in recent decades — indeed, over the past two centuries — could well be replicated in the United States (as it is already being replicated in Canada). To repeat, that is why "Europe's problem" is, from an American point of view, "our" problem, too.

Washington, DC, March 01, 2018 –(PR.com)– Today Georgetown Home Care (GHC) announced a partnership with Uber Health, which equips organizations to order HIPAA compliant rides and better serve the senior community.
Georgetown Home Care has been using the platform for some time during the beta program, receiving positive feedback from clients. Uber Health is and innovative tool that not only provides a bonus service for their clients but also greater employment opportunities for those who cannot drive.
"We were thrilled to be a part of the beta program for Uber Health as we recognized the advantage it provides," said John Bradshaw CEO of Georgetown Home Care, "and we found it to be a great tool in helping us provide convenient and safe transportation for our clients and employees."
Lack of transportation can be detrimental to a senior citizens ability to age in place and often causes them to reluctantly move to an assisted living facility. With the recent changes in how healthcare is approached, it is critical that people are keeping up with regular physician checkups and follow up visits, especially seniors. "While transportation barriers are common across the general population," said Chris Weber of Uber, "these barriers are greatest for vulnerable populations." Georgetown Home Care has always included transportation in its service offering however, the Uber Health platform has given GHC more flexibility and success in serving seniors in the greater Washington DC area.
Georgetown Home Care is the premier non-medical home care agency with offices in DC, Maryland and Virginia. Its mission is to ensure a better quality of life for elderly clients and their families by providing dependable and affordable care. Georgetown Home Care is a locally-owned and operated company and is passionate about serving seniors and those in need with hourly and live-in home care services.
With the official launch of the platform on March, 1 2018, Georgetown Home Care will offer the use of the Uber Health to its clients and caregivers.

Amazon Announces SMS Messaging Via Alexa
Amazon has announced that it is introducing a service that will allow users of Alexa devices to send text messages to any contact via the digital assistant using just their voice.
Builds Upon Alexa Calling
The new service builds upon the Alexa Calling service introduced last year, which allowed owners of the Echo Dot to call a friend's landline via the device, and to use it to call or message a friend if they had a smartphone with the Alexa app downloaded (and Alexa Calling enabled).
The difference with this new service is that, as well as being able to use the Alexa Calling service, voice dictated SMS messages can be sent using Alexa to recipients who don't even have an Alexa device (Amazon Echo) of their own. With the new service, Alexa will decide which route is appropriate and will set up the communication accordingly.
Too Much Information
When the free Alexa calling service was introduced, Amazon faced criticism that the Alexa app tried to import users' entire address books. This led to Amazon having to introduce contact blocking.
Just Android & Just In The US
Before you get too excited, as of now the new service will initially only be available in the US for Alexa devices that support Alexa calling and messaging, and will only work with Android phones. Amazon has reportedly said that it can't yet offer a similar feature for iPhone users because Apple doesn't offer their messaging API to third-parties.
How To Use The Service
User instructions are issued via a pop-up in the Alexa app on Android, and in the 'Conversations' tab of the app, users select 'Contacts', then 'My Profile', and then switch the 'Send SMS' feature to on. Messages can then be sent to Android phones by a person using voice on an Alexa device.
The service allows the sender to specify whether they would like to send the message just as a text / SMS, or as a general message which will be sent to Alexa devices first, and then as SMS if the intended recipient does not have an Alexa device.
What Does This Mean For Your Business?
This new service seems to be an inevitable way to build upon the strengths of the Amazon Echo system, is consistent with its 'Amazon Everywhere' philosophy, and brings Alexa closer to Siri and Google Assistant in the voice messaging department. Although it takes the communication aspect of Alexa one step further, some critics have pointed at some limitations of the new service which are that it can't be used to text 911, or to participate in group messages or send MMS, and users are limited to what they can do when they can't actually see the chats anyway.
For businesses, this service may become especially useful when combined with Amazon's plans to launch Alexa for Business – a small businesses-focused version of the Echo for the workplace. Amazon's Echo dominates the voice-assistant market with a more than 70% share, and Alexa for business will have many useful functions from booking meeting rooms, reporting IT issues, providing directions around a building, and answering questions about the business, to enabling employees to make calls, manage calendars, run to-do lists, and set reminders. A voice-activated SMS service via a workplace Echo could, therefore, add value, save time and save costs.

A pathogen is an infectious thing, such as a virus, bacteria, fungi or parasite, which causes a disease. This ability is called pathogenicity.
The body has many ways to defend against some of the common pathogens (such as Pneumocystis) in the form of the human immune system and by some "helpful" bacteria present in the human body's normal human flora. However, if the immune system or "good" bacteria is damaged in any way (for example, chemotherapy, HIV, or antibiotics being taken to kill other pathogens), pathogenic bacteria that were being held back can grow and cause harm to the host. Such cases are opportunistic infections.
Some pathogens cause epidemics. These include the bacterium Yersinia pestis which may have caused the Black Death, the Variola virus, and the malarial protozoa. They hurt or even kill large numbers of people.
The most famous and lethal outbreak was the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic (type A influenza, H1N1 subtype), which lasted from 1918 to 1919. It is not known exactly how many it killed, but estimates range from 20 to 100 million people.[1][2] This pandemic has been described as "the greatest medical holocaust in history" and may have killed as many people as the Black Death.[3]
The huge death toll was caused by an extremely high infection rate of up to 50% and the extreme severity of the symptoms. One observer wrote, "One of the most striking of the complications was hemorrhage from mucous membranes, especially from the nose, stomach, and intestine. Bleeding from the ears and skin also occurred".[1] The majority of deaths were from bacterial pneumonia, a secondary infection caused by influenza, but the virus also killed people directly, causing massive bleeding and oedema in the lungs.[4]
In plants, fungi are the main cause of infectious disease.

- —Wethern's Law of Suspended Judgment
Early in my career, I learned that developing good software comes down to consistently carrying out fundamental practices regardless of the particular technology. In my experience, one of the most significant problems in software development is assuming. If you assume a method will be passed the right parameter value, the method will fail. Assume that developers are following coding and design standards and the software will be difficult to maintain. Assume configuration files haven't changed, and you'll spend precious development hours needlessly hunting down problems that don't exist. When we make assumptions in software development, we waste time and increase risks.
We may think that the latest, greatest technology will be the "silver bullet" to solve all of our problems, but it will not. At one company, one of my initial responsibilities was to incorporate good software development practices into the company—by example. Over time, we were able to implement many widely accepted practices for developing good software into the projects. Having worked on many different projects that used different methodologies, I have found that, in general, iterative projects—using the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and eXtreme Programming (XP), in my case—work best, because risks are mitigated all along the way. Developing software requires planning for change, continuously observing the results, and incrementally course-correcting based on the results. This is how CI operates. CI is the embodiment of tactics that gives us, as software developers, the ability to make changes in our code, knowing that if we break software, we'll receive immediate feedback. This immediate feedback gives us time to course-correct and adjust to change more rapidly.
CI is about the fundamentals. It may not be the most glamorous activity in software development, but integrating software is vitally important in today's complex projects. Seldom do the users of the software say to me, "Wow, I really like the way you integrated the software in the last release." And since that doesn't happen, it may seem like it isn't worthwhile to make these efforts behind the scenes. However, anyone who has developed software using a practice such as CI is empowered by a consistent and repeatable build process kicked off when a change occurs to the version control repository.
Spending some time on the nonglamorous fundamental activities in software development means there is more time to spend on the challenging, thought-provoking activities that make our jobs interesting and fun. If we don't focus on the fundamentals, such as defining the development environment and building the software, we'll be forced to perform low-level tasks later, usually at the most inconvenient times (immediately before software goes to production, for example). This is when mistakes happen as well. The discipline involved in keeping the build "in the green" frees you from worrying about whether everything is still working. It's like exercising—yes, it takes self-discipline; yes, it can be painful work—but it keeps you in shape to play in the big game, when it counts.
This chapter attempts to answer the questions that you may have when making the decision to implement the practices of CI on a project. It provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of CI, and covers how CI complements other software development practices. CI is not a practice that can be handed off to a project's "build master" and forgotten about. It affects every person on the software development team, so we discuss CI in terms of what all team members must practice to implement it.
What's a day of work like using CI? Let's examine Tim's experiences.
A Day in the Life of CI
As Tim opens the door to his company's suite, he views the wide-screen monitor displaying real-time information for his project. The monitor shows him that the last integration build ran successfully a few minutes ago on the CI server. It shows a list of the latest quality metrics, including coding/design standard adherence, code duplication, and so on. Tim is one of 15 developers on a Java project creating management software for an online brewery. See Figure 2-1 for a visualization of some of the activities in Tim's day.
Figure 2-1 A day in the life
Starting his day, Tim refactors a subsystem that was reported to have too much duplicate code based on the latest reports from the CI server. Prior to committing his changes to Subversion, he runs a private build, which compiles and runs the unit tests against the newest source code. After running this build on his machine, he commits his changes to Subversion. All the while, the CruiseControl CI server is polling the Subversion repository. A few minutes later, the CI server discovers the changes that Tim committed and runs an integration build. This integration build runs automated inspection tools to verify that all code adheres to the coding standard. Tim receives an e-mail about a coding standard violation, quickly makes the changes, and checks the source code back into Subversion. The CI server runs another build and it is successful. By reviewing the Web reports generated by the CI server, Tim finds that his recent code refactoring successfully reduced the amount of duplicate code in his subsystem.
Later in the day, another developer on the project, Lisa, runs into Tim's office.
- Lisa: I think the changes you made earlier today broke the last build!
- Tim: Hmm but, I ran the tests.
- Lisa: Oh, I didn't have time to write tests.
- Tim: Are you following the code coverage metric we have established for the project?
Because of this discussion, they decided to fail the integration build if their code coverage was below 85%. Furthermore, Lisa wrote a test for the defect and fixed the problem she discovered because of her conversation with Tim. The integration build continued to stay "in the green."

Espionage refers to the act of gathering information, generally using subversive means. A person who engages in espionage is called a spy. It is carried on by both governmental and private organizations. Intelligence bureaus operated by the military or the government, such as the CIA, KGB, MI5 and Mossad are among the more familiar known to the public. Subcontractors and front organizations also are frequently employed.
The word Espionage comes from the French word espionage, meaning literally "to spy". However, it was the Americans and Soviets who made the most historical use of espionage, during the Cold War. Almost all countries have used espionage, notably Israel,[1] Germany during World War II, and Britain. Espionage is much less talked about today, except for industrial espionage, which is what happens when one company spies on another one, or a government spy agency tries to discover corporate secrets in another country.
Counterintelligence is the business of detecting and neutralizing spies.
Famous spies include Mata Hari, Whittaker Chambers, Julius Rosenberg and Alger Hiss.

Rationale |
Virtual functions: From static to dynamic C++
Rules straddle the border between static and dynamic C++. In effect, a rule transforms compile-time polymorphism (using templates) into run-time polymorphism (using virtual functions). This is necessary due to C++'s inability to automatically declare a variable of a type deduced from an arbitrarily complex expression in the right-hand side (rhs) of an assignment. Basically, we want to do something like:
T rule = an_arbitrarily_complex_expression;
without having to know or care about the resulting type of the right-hand side (rhs) of the assignment expression. Apart from this, we also need a facility to forward declare an unknown type:
T rule;
rule = a | b;
These limitations lead us to this implementation of rules. This comes at the expense of the overhead of a virtual function call, once through each invocation of a rule.
Multiple declaration
Some BNF variants allow multiple declarations of a rule. The declarations are taken as alternatives. Example:
= a; r = b;
is equivalent to:
= a | b;
Spirit v1.3 allowed this behavior. However, the current version of Spirit no longer allows this because experience shows that this behavior leads to unwanted gotchas (for instance, it does not allow rules to be held in containers). In the current release of Spirit, a second assignment to a rule will simply redefine it. The old definition is destructed. This follows more closely C++ semantics and is more in line with what the user expects the rule to behave.
Sequencing Syntax
The comma operator as in a, b seems to be a better candidate, syntax-wise. But
then the problem is with its precedence. It has the lowest precedence in C/C++,
which makes it virtually useless.
Bjarne Stroustrup, in his article "Generalizing
Overloading for C++2000" talks about overloading whitespace. Such a
feature would allow juxtapositioning of parser objects exactly as we do in (E)BNF
(e.g. a b | c instead of a >> b | c). Unfortunately, the article was dated
April 1, 1998. Oh well.
Forward iterators
In general, the scanner expects at least a standard conforming forward iterator.
Forward iterators are needed for backtracking where the iterator needs to be
saved and restored later. Generally speaking, Spirit is a backtracking parser.
The implication of this is that at some point, the iterator position will have
to be saved to allow the parser to backtrack to a previous point. Thus, for
backtracking to work, the framework requires at least a forward iterator.
Some parsers might require more specialized iterators (bi-directional or even
random access). Perhaps in the future, deterministic parsers when added to the
framework, will perform no backtracking and will need just a single token lookahead,
hence will require input iterators only.
Why are subrules important?
Subrules open up the oportunity to do aggressive meta programming as well because
they do not rely on virtual functions. The virtual function is the meta-programmer's
hell. Not only does it slow down the program due to the virtual function indirect
call, it is also an opaque wall where no metaprogram can get past. It kills
all meta-information beyond the virtual function call. Worse, the virtual function
cannot be templated. Which means that its arguments have to be tied to a actual
types. Many problems stem from this limitation.
While Spirit is a currently classified as a non-deterministic recursive-descent
parser, Doug Gregor first noted that other parsing techniques apart from top-down
recursive descent may be applied. For instance, apart from non-deterministic
recursive descent, deterministic LL(1) and LR(1) can theoretically be implemented
using the same expression template front end. Spirit rules use virtual functions
to encode the RHS parser expression in an opaque abstract parser type. While
it serves its purpose well, the rule's virtual functions are the stumbling blocks
to more advanced metaprogramming. Subrules are free from virtual functions.
Exhaustive backtracking and greedy RD
Spirit doesn't do exhaustive backtracking like regular expressions are expected to. For example:
*chlit_p('a') >> chlit_p('a');
will always fail to match because Spirit's Kleene star does not back off when the rest of the rule fails to match.
Actually, there's a solution to this greedy RD problem. Such a scheme is discussed in section 6.6.2 of Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide. The trick involves passing a tail parser (in addition to the scanner) to each parser. The start parser will then simply be: start >> end_p; (end_p is the start's tail).
Spirit is greedy --using straight forward, naive RD. It is certainly possible to implement the fully backtracking scheme presented above, but there will be also certainly be a performance hit. The scheme will always try to match all possible parser paths (full parser hierarchy traversal) until it reaches a point of certainty, that the whole thing matches or fails to match.
and Greedy RD --Rainer Deyke |
There's a strong preference on "simplicity with all the knobs when you need them" approach, right now. On the other hand, the flexibility of Spirit makes it possible to have different optional schemes available. It might be possible to implement an exhaustive backtracking RD scheme as an optional feature in the future.

Cale BattlesGovernment Relations Coordinator
April 22, 2014 – The Senate spent the majority of April 1, its last day on the floor, putting the finishing touches on the legislative session, and adjourning the 2013-14 session until January 2015. The Assembly adjourned much earlier on March 20, which left the Senate in the difficult position of only having the ability to agree or concur with legislation that was passed previously by the Assembly.
Two of the more controversial pieces of legislation that passed the Senate on the last day dealt with medical apologies and strip searches.
The State Bar of Wisconsin's Litigation Section opposed legislation that would restrict the ability of attorneys to use statements of apology or contrition as evidence in medical malpractice lawsuits and proceedings. The equally balanced plaintiff and defense board of the Litigation Section expressed concern that the drafted language was overly broad and should be amended to narrow the intent of the legislation. The Senate passed the final version by a vote of 19 to 14, with two Democrats joining the majority and one Republican voting against. This bill has been signed into law; it is now Act 242.
Legislation expanding the ability of law enforcement officials to strip search individuals in custody also passed the Senate along party lines. The proposal gives law enforcement the ability to strip search anyone who may be incarcerated, imprisoned, or otherwise detained in the jail or prison with one or more persons for 12 or more hours. A recent WisBar InsideTrack article, "Bill Expands Preconviction Strip Search Authority in Wisconsin Jails," provides an in-depth explanation of this particular bill.
Some of the other high-profile legislation passed over the last few weeks included legislation restricting information used by drones, requiring outside investigations for police officer involved deaths, allowing cannabis oil use as treatment for children dealing with seizures, and a series of bills dealing with the heroin epidemic.
In addition, a bill that prohibits employers, educational institutions or landlords from requesting that current or prospective employees, students, or tenants give them access to personal Internet accounts took effect today.
Learn more about the Social Media Protection Act in "Social Media Snooping: Bill Limits Access to Personal Internet Accounts," an InsideTrack article.
Wisconsin residents will need to continue to set their cruise control to 65 mph as legislation to increase the rural interstate speed limit to 70 mph failed to pass.
The Assembly passed a package of Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) bills that would create various changes, only to not be considered by the Senate.
Interest rates on small claims judgment will also remain the same. Legislation proposed to return a flat 12 percent rate for small claims judgments failed to make it out of committee after passing the Assembly by a voice vote.
Twenty-one Assembly members have indicated that they will not seek reelection to the Assembly. In the Senate, six members will not seek reelection, including four of the longer serving members: Mike Ellis (R-Neenah), Bob Jauch (D-Poplar), Dale Schultz (R-Richland Center) and Tim Cullen (D-Janesville). Currently, Republicans in the Assembly have a 60-39 majority, while the Senate is much closer, with Republicans having an 18-15 majority.
The State Bar will continue to work on a number of important legislative initiatives during the summer and fall in anticipation of a busy 2015-16 session. Funding of the judicial system will be a major state budget priority, along with continued work on returning first-time, non-violent 17-year-old offenders to the juvenile justice system.
The State Bar will also be asking legislators to consider a constitutional amendment to create a single 16-year term for Wisconsin Supreme Court justices. See a recent Wisconsin Lawyer article, "A Conversation on Supreme Court Term Limits," outlines the contours of this proposal.
Cale Battles is a government relations coordinator with the State Bar of Wisconsin. He can be reached at org cbattles wisbar wisbar cbattles org, or by phone at (608) 250-6077.
State Bar sections will also be very active next session with a number of important proactive legislative proposals, including revising the Business Partnership Act, revising the Limited Liability Corporation Act, adult and juvenile guardianship reform, asset preservation trusts, adoption reforms, and the Judicial Council proposal to rewrite the Criminal Procedure Code.

Earlier this morning, I tweeted out something I had said to a friend last night at the Startup Denver Female Entrepreneurs meetup.
Vowed to @jonrrossi that I am never ever ever getting back together with #SF . #Denver has my heart completely!
I was talking about my upcoming trip to San Francisco to attend the LAUNCH Festival Mar. 4-6 and how I wanted to get TAOpivot's name out in San Francisco. Jon looked at me as if I had grown a second head: "Now WHY would you want to do that?"
No, I'd never think to move back to San Francisco. I'm visioning a branch of TAOpivot out there eventually, but I wouldn't move headquarters from Denver at all.
Explaining where I've lived before to others as I meet them out here, people oftentimes seem confused as to why I'd choose Denver over San Francisco. And when I try to explain why I moved here, it's even harder for me to articulate.
My four years spent in San Francisco were a mixed bucket. Mixed blessings. I moved out there right after college, bright-eyed and hopeful. I soon found the job market there highly competitive and, at every job I applied to, I felt I was an outsider coming in.
I was lucky to have a few friends who lived in the Bay Area to make my move a smoother transition; also have relatives out there, so that didn't hurt either.
Still, during those four years, I always felt on the outside looking in. I had many wonderful experiences learning about life there; but I also learned that San Francisco wasn't my place to establish my base. I didn't feel a sense of community there.
And rent was just so damn expensive.
I fell in love with Denver in late 2008, when I traveled here on a whim to see Dir en grey's last concert on their US tour. The concert was advertised as being in Denver, but was actually at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood. I mulled over my decision earlier that week, wondering if I was being crazy for going to a place I'd never been to before and all by myself.
I went ahead and booked the tickets and flew out to Denver. I studied the RTD system and got around town via the buses. I noticed people were different in Denver: at the concert, the fans were actually nice to each other. We moshed a little and I accidentally hit someone during the concert; I apologized and the person said, "Oh, don't worry about it."
The previous week, when Dir en grey was in San Francisco, I was clawed in the face by another fan because I was taking "her" guitar pick that Die (one of the members) had thrown out. Also, the fans in SF just seemed more rabid and self-serving.
That was the only aspect I had noticed on that short trip to Denver, the kindness of strangers. But it was enough to move me past the tipping point and make me start looking at graduate programs in Denver. I wanted a ticket out of San Francisco after that; due to circumstances that came up in 2010, I had to stay longer in SF than I wanted to.
But in August 2011, I finally got to Denver as a resident. And I don't regret the decision at all; in Denver, I have found the warmth I'd longed for in San Francisco. I have found the sunshine, the mix of urban, suburban, and even rural life in the surrounding areas outside of Denver proper. I have found my community and really feel at home here. I like going to events and running into people I recognize from other areas of my life; I like that small-town feeling I grew up with, without all the vicious cliques and gossip. I like being anonymous when I want to be in certain parts of the city.
Also, Denver's cost of living is so much more affordable than San Francisco ever will be.
So, for the long story of it all, this is why I'll always choose Denver over San Francisco. West Coast can have the fog lovers scratching by in close quarters; I'll take Denver's sunshine and happy people anytime.

The economic upheaval and social disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic have upended the assumptions that many people made last fall about which insurance plan to sign up for or how much of their pretax wages to sock away in flexible spending accounts devoted to health care or dependent care.
You may find yourself in a high-priced health plan you can no longer afford because of a temporary pay cut, be unable to get the medical care you might have planned and budgeted for or not be sending the kids to day care. Normally you'd be stuck with the choices you made unless you had a major life event such as losing your job, getting married or having a child. But this year, things may be different.
This month, the IRS announced that it would let employees add, drop or alter some of their benefits for the remainder of 2020. But there's a catch: Your employer has to allow the changes.
The new guidance applies to both employers that buy health insurance to cover their workers and those that pay claims on their own, called self-insuring. It's unclear how many employers will take advantage of the new flexibility to offer what amounts to a midyear open-enrollment period. If you're wondering what your company will do, ask.
"If a consumer finds themselves economically strapped and their finances have changed, and they're in a situation where they really would like to rethink their coverage, they may want to approach their employer and see if they're planning to adopt any of these changes," says Jay Savan, a partner at human resources consultancy Mercer.
Some health care policy experts are unimpressed with the new coverage options, noting that earlier this spring the Trump administration opted not to create a special enrollment period for uninsured workers to buy subsidized health insurance on the Affordable Care Act's health insurance marketplaces.
"It's not likely that many people will take up this new coverage opportunity, and it won't address the problem of lack of coverage that many people are facing," says Sabrina Corlette, a research professor at Georgetown University's Center on Health Insurance Reforms.
Assuming you're a worker who still has employer-sponsored coverage, here are examples of circumstances you may face and what the IRS changes could mean for you.
You want to switch to a cheaper plan to put more money into savings during these uncertain times. Can you do that?
If your employer decides to allow it, you can.
One consideration: If you switch plans midyear, you may have to start all over again with paying down your deductible and working toward reaching your annual out-of-pocket maximum spending limit for the year, says Katie Amin, a principal at Groom Law Group in Washington, D.C., a firm that specializes in health care and benefits.
"Some employer plans would credit you under the new option if you switched plans," Amin says. "It depends."
You've got a high-deductible plan and are worried about high medical bills if you get COVID-19. Can you switch to a plan with more generous coverage?
The IRS guidance allows it, but your employer probably won't, say experts. It's impossible for workers or their bosses to know who will develop COVID-19. But the concern among employers is that people willing to pay more for generous coverage may be sicker and have higher health care costs than other workers, and therefore could cost the plan more — a phenomenon called adverse selection.
In addition to evaluating whether employees could benefit from midyear changes, an employer will weigh financial considerations, says Steven Wojcik, vice president of public policy at the Business Group on Health, which represents large employers.
They'll ask, "What is the adverse-selection risk, and what is going to be the uptake [in coverage] if you open up enrollment?" he says.
Under the new rules, if you haven't had health insurance on the job before but would like to sign up now, you can do that too, if your employer decides to permit it.
What if one spouse gets laid off but the other is still employed? Can the couple switch its family coverage to the employed spouse's plan?
Yes. But this was already allowed before the new IRS guidance came out. Under long-standing rules, if workers have a qualifying life event, they're entitled to change their coverage during the year.
Can you drop your employer coverage altogether?
Yes, if your employer permits it. Normally, once you sign up for health insurance through your employer and agree to have your premiums deducted from your paychecks, you can't drop coverage during the year unless you experience a qualifying life event. Under the new IRS rules, you can drop your coverage, but only if you replace it with another form of comprehensive coverage, such as coverage through a health insurance exchange or Tricare, the military health insurance program.
One thing that won't qualify as comprehensive coverage, according to Amin: a short-term plan. The Trump administration has encouraged the adoption of limited-duration plans with terms that can last for nearly a year. But these plans don't typically cover preventive care or preexisting conditions, and renewal is not guaranteed.
You've put thousands of dollars into a flexible spending account to cover day care expenses this year, but now the kids are home full time. Can you change the amount?
Yes, but once again this is allowed only if your employer agrees to it. Likewise, if you want to increase your pretax contribution because you need to hire someone to care for your kids at home while you work, you can do that too. You can also establish a new FSA for dependent care expenses in 2020 if you don't already have one.
Employees are legally entitled to put up to $5,000 annually into a dependent care FSA to pay for day care, preschool, after-school programs or summer camp.
"Since it's the employees' money, my guess is employers will allow them to make changes," said David Speier, who is in charge of the benefit accounts group at human resources consultancy Willis Towers Watson.
You planned to use money left over in last year's FSA to cover the cost of a medical procedure in early March. But that procedure was postponed because of the coronavirus crisis and you've missed the March 15 deadline for using those funds. Do you have any recourse?
Under the new IRS guidance, employers can opt to extend the grace period for using leftover 2019 FSA funds through the end of 2020. Typically, those funds would have disappeared under "use it or lose it" rules if they hadn't been used by March 15. In 2019, the maximum pretax contribution to a health care FSA was $2,700; this year it's $2,750.
Similar to the changes now permitted for dependent care FSAs, employers can also decide to permit workers to prospectively decrease or rescind their elected health care FSA amounts altogether.
If you decide to stop contributing to your FSA, you can spend down the money that's accumulated there on health care expenses, but you can't cash out the account, says Amin. For example, if you've accumulated $500 in your FSA, you can use that money for eyeglasses or other approved expenses through the end of the year. But your employer can't give you the $500 outright, essentially cashing out the account.
Employers have expressed a lot of interest in implementing the flexible spending account changes, says Mercer's Savan.
"We expect them to have a lot of traction," he says.

CHRISTUS Health Achieves Substantial ROI with Imprivata
New study quantifies the clinical and financial value of single-sign on
Lexington, Mass.– July 17, 2019—Imprivata®, the healthcare IT security company, today announced that CHRISTUS Health saved clinicians 49,057 hours per year — the equivalent of 4,088 12-hour shifts — by implementing Imprivata OneSign®, the leading healthcare enterprise single sign-on (SSO) and virtual desktop access platform, across 19 hospitals.
For the study, "An Evaluation of the Clinical and Financial Value of Workstation Single Sign-On in 19 Hospitals" published this month in Perspectives in Health Information Management, CHRISTUS Health, a 5,558-bed independent delivery network operating in six U.S states and three foreign markets, quantitatively assessed the impact of SSO and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) implementation in reducing clinician time logging in to the electronic health record (EHR) and various clinical software programs.
"We estimated that over 15,000 physicians and other clinical end users in the CHRISTUS Health system were required to recall anywhere from eight to 20 or more passwords, resulting in them spending valuable time entering multiple usernames and passwords, and resetting forgotten credentials, which diverts time and attention from their care of patients," said Dr. George Gellert, former Regional and Associate System CMIO at CHRISTUS Health and the study's lead author. "Implementing SSO and VDI helped CHRISTUS provide fast, easy, No Click Access to patient information with only a tap of a proximity badge, accelerating and easing EHR use, while increasing the security of personal health information."
Recording 186,606 logins across 19 facilities over two 7-day periods, the study found that CHRISTUS Health experienced a substantial clinical and financial return on its investment in Imprivata OneSign. Across the enterprise, SSO delivered substantial time savings in the workflows of physicians, nurses, and ancillary clinicians, giving them back the equivalent of 78.6 12-hour shifts (or 943.4 hours) per week, which equates to $3.2 million per year in time savings when clinicians are liberated from the EHR keyboard to instead focus on the delivery of patient care.
The study also assessed financial savings garnered from migrating to a thin client to replace traditional hard drive computer workstations. The elimination of expensive computer station hardware saved CHRISTUS $425,000 per year. Coupled with the liberated clinician time recouped by Imprivata OneSign, CHRISTUS achieved a total return on investment of $3.6 million per year.
"In this increasingly digital world where complex clinical workflows can interrupt patient care and lead to physician burnout, we're thrilled that CHRISTUS has realized the positive effects of SSO on clinician satisfaction, and demonstrated cost savings over time," said Gus Malezis, President and CEO of Imprivata. "Our customers have been reclaiming dollars and efficiency with Imprivata OneSign for years, no matter the size of the organization, their location, or their existing technologies. It's a time-tested, proven ROI and, in this case, CHRISTUS' strategic planning and attention to detail has resulted in better than average time savings."
Imprivata OneSign transforms slow, repetitive, and error-prone logins into fast, secure, and reliable access. Imprivata can save providers an estimated 45 minutes per shift, per day, improving satisfaction levels, and driving technology adoption.

Despite the fact that it's been generating a lot of buzz, Devious Maids is just not that interesting. Five Latina maids — is it a landmark for Latina actresses or another example of how the media stereotype Latinos? Either way, the relationship between hypersexualized domestic workers and their pretentious employers does not make for compelling television.
I was surprised to find that East Los High, a show that is garnering just a fraction of the attention, is actually much better.
The show — the first English-language series with an all-Latino cast, exclusively broadcast on Hulu — is set in a gritty East Los Angeles neighborhood where calling another woman naca (ghetto) is the ultimate insult. It features a fictional group of L.A. teenagers fighting for status and trying not to get burned.
Its creators, Carlos Portugal and Kathleen Bedoya, wanted to create a realistic depiction of teen pregnancy among Latinas. But despite its after-school-special roots, East Lost High feels surprisingly real.
With the exception of a few unnatural sex-ed dialogues between the teens and the adults who otherwise fail to supervise them, the series is compelling. It isn't like anything else that's on TV right now.
It feels more like the story you play in your head when your madrina tells you what she overheard at the nail salon — it is like eavesdropping on a richly imagined, but highly plausible life.
The show has all of the tropes of an addictive telenovela: love montages set to poppy music, evil plots straight out of Les Liasons Dangereuses, dying wishes, zingy one-liners and even a bad guy with a mustache scowling in the corner.
It also mashes up that telenovela feel with the aesthetics of the CW teen universe — cheating, drugs, hazing and sex tapes captured on mobile phones. Like Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars, the characters' interaction with the digital world engages fans off-screen.
But despite its soapy style, the series stays grounded in reality. It's part Latino Degrassi, yes, but it's also part social commentary — in this world, mistakes have serious consequences.
The show follows Jessie, a geeky teenager living in a single-parent household, as she tries out for the school's bad-girl dance team. Suddenly her crush and her dreams of popularity seem within reach, but to get there she'll have to break away from her critical best friend and troubled cousin.
Through it all, she'll have to undergo constant torment at the hands of Vanessa — a villain who could make Brenda Walsh cry. Example — when her former best friend gets pregnant, Vanessa snarks, "I hope you have twins [#ThingsYouDontSayToAPregnantTeen]."
For the girls of East Los High, the stakes are particularly high. Social status is directly tied to the desirability of the guy you are dating, so being sexually active has serious social capital.
But if you get pregnant, it's game over. You'll become just like your mama sufrida — a high school dropout working multiple cleaning jobs just to pay the bills.
Like a telenovela, each episode reveals more layers. The characters are complex and their development veers in unpredictable directions.
Portugal says he had three rules for the writers of East Los High: no gardeners, no gang members and no maids.
"My hope is that people from East L.A. get to see themselves in the show portrayed as diverse human beings and not the typical Latino stereotypes we see in TV and films," says Portugal.
Right now, East Los High is the sixth-most-watched show on Hulu. The streaming service has had content from Spanish-language TV networks on its Hulu Latino page since 2011. Now it is looking to attract even more Latinos with English-language content.
It's a refreshing depiction: In the universe of East Los High, Latinos are vixens and dropouts, but they're also dancers, doctors, counselors and citizen journalists.
So the next time someone cites Devious Maids as the Latino show of the moment, give East Los High a shoutout. I'll certainly be watching.
