So my very first travel post was about Florence which was Part 1 of 3 of our honeymoon back in October. As mentioned, Sean and I had decided to take on Italy for our first adventure as a married couple. Since there were so many places to choose between, we each picked a city that we were dying to visit and then one that we agreed on together. There was a method to our madness regarding our itinerary – we started up north and worked our way down south. Florence was our first stop (my choice) and next was Sean's choice – Rome! I have to be completely honest here, I was very skeptical about Rome. Not that I didn't think it would be fabulous, but there were other cities in Italy that were further up on my list of places to see. However, we made a deal and if Rome was where Sean wanted to go, that's where we would go!
After two incredible days in Florence, we caught a train and traveled down to Rome. Prior to leaving for our honeymoon, I remember my dear friend, Amy, telling me how amazing the train experience alone is. In fact, one of her most vivid memories while traveling in Italy was looking out the windows of the train and taking in all of the beauty around her as all five senses were ignited. Ever since she described this to me, I longed for that same experience. Sean and I booked two "business class" tickets to Rome which provided us with comfortable leather seats and some extra room. The pungent aroma of coffee beans lingered throughout the cabin and the train attendants came around to pour us a fresh cup of joe while serving up delicious, crisp biscuits (a fancy term for cookies).
As I sipped my warm cup of coffee in my cozy leather chair, I gazed out the window of the train as beautiful Italian hillsides passed us by. I remember looking across the little table that Sean and I shared and took a few minutes to take this moment in. Here I was, someone who was constantly wrapped up in my own world back at home – between my career, school, social life, bills, pleasing people…all of these things began to seem so insignificant. Sure, it's a part of our every day lives and how can we not get immersed in the monotonous day-to-day rituals and responsibilities we have? But having this moment to breath, collect myself, see the beauty of the world around us and actually look at this man sitting across from me, my new husband whom I was sharing this adventure with as I enjoyed my delicious cup of coffee, I was suddenly reminded of why I work so hard in life. It was to enjoy moments like these. It sounds cliché but it's the little things I live for. And I knew at this very instant that this would be an irreplaceable memory forever engrained in my mind.
We arrived in Rome in the early afternoon. We took a cab to our adorable little Bed and Breakfast, Navona Governo Vecchio, which was centrally located in the city and in an apartment building. This was a really neat concept because we were able to immerse ourselves in the life of a local. Rome was the longest leg of our trip (5 days) and goodness did they fly by! However, we were able to do a great deal of exploring (especially our first evening there when we decided to get lost on purpose and wander around with no map). I have to admit, I was extremely impressed and enjoyed it so much more than I had initially anticipated. I mean…wow.
First and foremost, Rome is an incredibly lively place. It had the hustle and bustle of NYC but in a very historic and beautiful old city. There was a hodgepodge of people – all ages, shapes and sizes, ethnicities, backgrounds – truly a melting pot of cultural wonder.
Our next few days we did so much exploring (and walking). The best part about this was that we were able to work off everything we ate! So many incredible sites to see and take in. Since we photographed so many moments, below are just some highlights from our 5 day stay in Rome.
What an enriching experience this was. We enjoyed every moment of our time in this incredible place. From the lively people, to the adorable piazzas, to the boisterous markets and quaint street cafes, to the delicious gelato and cuisine and of course, the refreshing vino…we had the time of our lives. Beyond all of this, being able to walk the old city with my new husband made it that much more beautiful. I will forever hold a place in my heart for Rome. Our last stop in Italy is coming up on the blog next and it was hands down our favorite place we've ever visited (ever). Stay tuned! Ciao!

Disgraced doctor accused of sexual assault has claim against him dismissed
PUBLISHED: 16:08 30 November 2018 | UPDATED: 16:08 30 November 2018
Copyright (c) 2016 Shutterstock. No use without permission.
A disgraced doctor accused of sexually assaulting a patient in Norwich has had a damages claim against him thrown out.
Cyprian Okoro exchanged explicit messages with a female patient via WhatsApp while working as a locum GP at the Timber Hill surgery in 2013.
Norwich County Court heard how the pair sent naked photographs to each other during a two-and-a-half week period in August that year.
But it ended when the patient, who has a history of mental health issues, wrongly assumed the doctor had a wife.
It resulted in her accusing Mr Okoro of putting his hands under her dress and groping her breasts during a consultation on August 8, 2013.
She sought a £3,600 claim for damages against the doctor and the surgery, claiming the alleged assault exacerbated her "long-standing" mental health issues.
But on Friday (November 30), deputy circuit judge John Holt dismissed the claim, stating her evidence previously heard in court, was "full of discrepancies".
He said the patient gave the doctor her number and sent photos of herself in "provocative" poses while wearing lingerie.
At one point she also "demanded" for the doctor to send a naked photo of himself to her via WhatsApp, which he did.
Judge Holt said contact ended between the pair when the doctor, who is divorced, said he was going to a BBQ with his children.
"She wrongly concluded he was married," judge Holt said.
He said: "It is clear to me the claimant lied about the effects of the assault on her health, and it is clear that reading the WhatsApp messages, that nothing happened in the surgery that was an assault.
"What is also clear, it that the reason she decided to report these matters, was because she wrongly thought the defendant was a married man and she became a woman scorned."
Police were notified about the alleged assault at the time, but no charges were made.
However, it led to officers seizing Mr Okoro's phone, which was found to contain a stash of extreme pornography, including a man having sex with a snake.
He was convicted of possession of incident photographs and extreme images in September 2016, and received a six-month suspended prison sentence.
A subsequent tribunal by the General Medical Council (GMC) also saw Mr Okoro struck off the medical register.

Once a paradise, the primitive forest planet of Corvos has been conquered and enslaved by an interstellar empire. But not quite all of its native peoples have given up hope of freedom. In the depths of Mine Three, a fierce young slave named Cerrin prays every day to the god of battle for a chance—any chance—to strike her enemies.
On a world enslaved, the last embers of hope are fading into an unrelenting darkness. Conquered and broken, the natives are forced to ravage their own lush planet of its natural resources—all for the glory of a mysterious empire they've never seen and barely comprehend.
But not all light is lost. In the heart of one young woman alone, the gods have set a flame that cannot be extinguished. Cerrin remains as fierce and unyielding as the planet itself. And her chance to strike is fast approaching.
Above the skies of her home world, soldiers of the empire are welcoming their new civilian commander—a vicious nobleman blinded by hidden ambitions. When the new face of darkness turns its eyes on Cerrin, the fate of countless worlds will change forever.
A gritty well written tale of a planet that has an invaluable mineral to a race that has enslaved the native people to work the mines. Cerrin, the heroine, lives only to escape. Sonus was an engineer before he was captured. Heart wrenching events lead one to fight the good fight, and one to chance everything for freedom. Read more...
Was a thrilling roller coaster ride from start to finish. Refreshing style and delivery. It had my heart pounding at times and I could not put the book down. I am anxiously awaiting the next book.
An interesting, fast paced read that I promise you will immerse you in a world where hope lies in the fighting spirit of a select few...if not a young girl who knows the value of her life and refuses to be tamed.
I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review. I didn't want to put this book down. From the premise that had me clicking the link to get a free copy to the short description, I was already anticipating a good tale. I wasn't disappointed. Read more...
Ehsan and Shakil Ahmad simply love the art of storytelling—as audience or creators. It's a passion they've shared since their childhood, growing up in New York City as the first-generation American children of immigrants from Pakistan.
At first, this passion drove the brothers in different directions in life. For Ehsan, it meant traveling across four continents to meet the people of countless cultures and hear their stories firsthand. For Shakil, it meant seeking a deeper understanding of human nature through degrees in psychology and social research.

- Status of renal hemodynamics in a full-term newborns with perinatal pathology
Status of renal hemodynamics in a full-term newborns with perinatal pathology
PERINATOLOGIYA I PEDIATRIYA. 2017.2(70):113-120; doi 10.15574/PP.2017.70.113
Babintseva A. G.
HSEE of Ukraine «Bukovinian State Medical University», Chernivtsi
Purpose — to determine the peculiarities of renal hemodynamics in the full-term newborns with perinatal pathology of varying severity on the basis of Doppler ultrasonographic features of the blood flow in the major renal arteries at the end of the first day of life.
Materials and methods. Clinical and paraclinical examination of 146 full-term newborns was conducted. The neonates were divided into four groups. The first group included 22 babies with clinical signs of perinatal pathology of a moderate severity and relatively preserved renal functions. The 2nd group comprised 49 babies with adaptation disorders of the early postnatal period, 24 of whom had the renal dysfunction (IIA group) and 25 babies were diagnosed with an acute kidney injury (IIB group). The control group (the 3rd group) included 25 healthy newborns. At the end of the first day of life by means of the apparatus MyLabТМ 25Gold, made by ESAOTE (Italy), using a convex sensor on the frequency of 3.5-5.0 MHz color Doppler scanning and pulsed wave Doppler examination were performed with the analysis of velocity curves of the major renal arteries blood flow.
Results. In spite of no clinical signs of renal dysfunction, babies with adaptation disorders of moderate severity are characterized by the intensification of hemo-dynamic processes, which expressed by less velocity without activation of vasoconstrictive mechanisms. Newborns with severe perinatal pathology and renal dysfunction with "aggressive" therapeutic intervention were diagnosed with relative stability of the main velocity and resistant characteristics, which indicate a sufficient activation of compensatory hemodynamic mechanisms. Formation of the acute renal injuries in critically ill neonates is connected with severe disorders of the renal blood flow together with prevailing of renal vessels vasoconstriction and deterioration of general renal vascularization.
Conclusions. The results of research showed the necessity of routine pulsed wave Doppler with detection of the velocity curves of the blood flow in all the patients of neonatal intensive care units with the purpose of determining the status of renal hemodynamics and preclinical diagnosis of impaired renal function in full-term newborns with perinatal pathology of varying severity.

Formative assessment. Assessment Design: A Matrix To Assess Your Assessments. 30+ Formative Assessment Strategies. Formative assessment was brought to the educational forefront by Paul Black and Dylan William in 1998 when they conducted a meta-analysis on formative assessment (Popham, 2008).
After examining 681 publications and thoroughly analyzing 250, these researchers concluded that "the consistent feature across the variety of these examples [was] that they all [showed] that attention to formative assessment can lead to significant learning gains" (Black & William, 1998). With larger than normal effective sizes for educational interventions, formative assessment informs instructional decisions and engages both teacher and students in the assessment processes before it is too late. Formative assessment should take place continuously during instruction,and ideally, this process should be occurring every 20 minutes or so.

The Importance of Classroom Discussion.
Discussion. Formative Assessment Ideas. Modifying the Flipped Classroom: The "In-Class" Version. So.
Alternatives To Homework: A Chart For Teachers. Alternatives To Homework: A Chart For Teachers Part of rethinking learning means rethinking the bits and pieces of the learning process–teaching strategies, writing pieces, etc.
Which is what makes the following chart from Kathleen Cushman's Fires in the Mind compelling. Rather than simply a list of alternatives to homework, it instead contextualizes the need for work at home (or, "homework"). It does this by taking typical classroom situations–the introduction of new material, demonstrating a procedure, etc.), and offering alternatives to traditional homework assignments. Self-Evaluation.
Self-Evaluation In order to become lifelong learners, students need to learn the importance of self-evaluation.
They can do this by filling out self-evaluation forms, journalizing, taking tests, writing revisions of work, asking questions, and through discussions. When students evaluate themselves, they are assessing what they know, do not know, and what they would like to know. They begin to recognize their own strengths and weaknesses. They become more familiar with their own beliefs, and possibly their misconceptions. Självutvärdering Använda video. Self-evaluation is a very important learning method and teachers should encourage students to use it as a lifelong learning tool.
One way to provide students with an opportunity for self-evaluation is with the use of video. Teachers can videotape the students making presentations so can see how they communicate information. Communication skills are very important and this is a very easy way to help students make improvements. It is usually best if the student is allowed to view the tape in private or with the instructor. This tends to lesson some of the added nervousness that the video camera will add to the already uncomfortable task of public speaking. The Lab.

Any assessment is designed to provide a snapshot of student understand—the more snapshots, the more complete the full picture of knowledge. On its best day, an assessment will be 100% effective, telling you exactly what a student understands. More commonly, the return will be significantly lower as the wording of questions, the student's sense of self-efficacy, or other factors diminish their assessment performance. It sounds obvious, but a student is a human being with an entire universe of personal problems, distraction, and related challenges in recalling the information in the form the assessment demands.

Summative assessments, or high stakes tests and projects, are what the eagle eye of our profession is fixated on right now, so teachers often find themselves in the tough position of racing, racing, racing through curriculum.
But what about informal or formative assessments? Are we putting enough effort into these? What Are They? Informal, or formative assessments are about checking for understanding in an effective way in order to guide instruction. They are used during instruction rather than at the end of a unit or course of study. What this means is that if we are about getting to the end, we may lose our audience, the students. Formative assessment: implications for classroom practice.
Collaboration - Formative_Assessment_Examples_2008.pdf. Persuasion Map. Compare Contrast Map. Think, Pair, Share. What is Think, Pair, Share?
Think-Pair-Share is a strategy designed to provide students with "food for thought" on a given topics enabling them to formulate individual ideas and share these ideas with another student. It is a learning strategy developed by Lyman and associates to encourage student classroom participation. Rather than using a basic recitation method in which a teacher poses a question and one student offers a response, Think-Pair-Share encourages a high degree of pupil response and can help keep students on task. You Probably Misunderstand Feedback For Learning. By Grant Wiggins Editor's Note: The title was written by me, not Grant. ; ^ ) Who could argue with the idea that formative assessment is a good thing?
Both common sense and the research make clear that more feedback and opportunities to use it enhances performance and achievement [(See Pollock (2012), Hattie (2008) and Marzano, Pickering & Pollock (2001)]; I argued this point thoroughly 14 years ago (Wiggins 1998). Yet, even Hattie acknowledges that in spite of the fact that his research long ago clearly revealed that "feedback was among the most powerful influences on achievement [Hattie (2008), p. 173] he has "struggled to understand the concept ever since." 10 Assessments You Can Perform In 90 Seconds. 35 Uses for Post It Notes in the Classroom.

Complete Blood Count – CBC
This is an examination of your blood cells. It gives your doctor information about your red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, along with other features of your blood. Your doctor may recommend this test as part of your routine healthcare, or to look for signs of a specific disease or disorder. Your doctor may also use this test to monitor a blood disorder or to monitor your health during treatment.
The blood sample is usually taken with a needle from a vein in your arm. It may be collected in a vial or a syringe.
The sample is sent to a laboratory. Technicians process the blood in a machine, analyze it and then send your doctor a report. In some cases, results can be returned very quickly. But often, you will not get the full results until the next day.
If your results are not normal, you may need to repeat the test to make sure the results are accurate. Your doctor can tell you what steps to take after an abnormal test.

The process of declaring a major or minor with the Department of Indigenous, Race, and Ethnic Studies requires interested students to first meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies. There are three ways to connect with the director:
- Complete our short 4 question survey that generates a message to the director (recommended)
- Drop-in during the director's office hours
- Schedule an appointment by email
In this meeting, the director will review the student's Degree Audit Report for completed courses, classes needed for an Ethnic Studies major or minor degree, and identify the direction the student would like to head with their ethnic studies course selections. The director will help the student create a direction of study that is tailored to ES class offerings, the students' interests, and what ES courses may have already been completed. Students will also receive a Major/Minor Declaration form that students must complete before any changes can be made and officially processed.

Hepatitis C is an infectious disease associated with inflammation of the liver. The disease is caused by Hepatitis C virus. Infection with this virus that lasts more then 6 months is termed as chronic hepatitis C. Chronic Hepatitis C Overview
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major causes of chronic liver disease and chronic viral hepatitis in Americans. Around 4.1 million of the U.S. population is infected with hepatitis C virus. Also, between 10,000 and 12,000 people in the Unites States die each year due to this virus.
Hepatitis C most often progresses into chronic liver disease, the condition with progressive deterioration of the liver. In fact, around 75% of people with acute hepatitis C eventually develop chronic infection.
The course and effect of chronic hepatitis C tremendously vary from person to person. The disease may be completely asymptomatic and the patient may have normal levels of serum enzymes. Only liver biopsy can reveal damage to the liver to mild degree. In such patients, overall prognosis is generally good.
On the other hand, chronic hepatitis C may cause symptoms, high levels of the virus in serum and increased serum enzymes. The disease finally leads to cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. Many patients, however, have vague symptoms, mild to moderate increase in liver enzymes and unclear prognosis.
Chronic hepatitis C can lead to cirrhosis. In fact, 20% of patients with chronic hepatitis C develop cirrhosis after 10 to 20 years of being infected. Liver failure may also result from chronic hepatitis C. In the United States liver transplantation is most commonly performed due to liver failure. Hepatitis C is one of the major causes of primary liver cancer as well. Male gender, alcohol abuse, cirrhosis, age over 40 years and chronic hepatitis C infection represent risk factors for HCV-related liver cancer.Transmission of Hepatitis C Virus
HCV can be spread by exposure to infected blood and blood products. Most often the infection is transmitted by sharing contaminated needles among intravenous drug users. Before 1992, the infection was often acquired from blood transfusions. However, this route of spreading is nowadays almost eliminated since all blood products are screened for HCV antibody.
Hepatitis C virus can be transmitted from an infected mother to the unborn child. Sometimes, the infection can be passed during unprotected sexual intercourse. Other risk factors for acquiring hepatitis C are accidental needle-sticks, hemodialysis for kidney failure and sharing equipment for intranasal cocaine use with an infected person.

Yesterday, despite the fact that we ended up with six inches of new snow!!! Ed and I loaded our little foster dog into the truck (along with Moxie) and drove him to meet (live with) his new family.
This is a great little dog, and sadly circumstances in his previous home, put him into rescue. No one's fault.. just one of those things. But I have to feel for a dog who is 8 years old, has only lived with one family, and has found himself, suddenly "alone in the world"... guess that's why I volunteer as a foster home!!! The other wonderful thing, is, he was always loved and treated as a treasure, so, aside from having the usual adjustment time, this little dog will settle in quickly as soon as he realizes that he is in another home of love.
He walked into their house like he owned the place, and when he found a fluffy dog bed and brand new toy waiting for him... that was all he needed.
He wasn't one bit "concerned" that his new Dad has a wheelchair, which is very good. Some dogs can be rattled by such a thing, but he wasn't worried at all..
So, another little dog moved along successfully, and I am sure rescue will be anxious to move someone new in here!!!
Since we got him before the end of the year, I think he is an '08 dog... and Ed and I can proudly say that last year, we fostered (and helped adopt out) a total of six dogs... five cockers and one springer...
I hope the "count" for 09 will be less... not that we don't want to help, but that it would mean there are "less doggies in the world" that need foster care...
I know...wishful thinking!!!!!

Chainalysis, a blockchain research firm reveals a new study that frees the Bitcoin (BTC) whales from the allegation of being one of the causes of the price volatility. The volatility of the cryptocurrency market even worries the best bulls sometimes, a part of the blame is usually put on the power and influence held by the bitcoin whales with their fat digital wallets filled with a large amount of the cryptocurrency.
The new study examined the 32 largest BTC wallets, which reportedly represent 1 million BTC i.e. approximately $6.3 billion. The data analysis reveals:
"Bitcoin whales are a diverse group, and only about a third of them are active traders. And while these trading whales certainly have the capability of executing transactions large enough to move the market, they have, on net, traded against the herd, buying on price declines. "
Quite contrary to the common belief, the study further credits these whales to congregating and trying stabilizing the markets. The study states:
They (Whales) appear, in aggregate, to have stabilized the market during recent price declines, rather than exacerbating price movements. This makes sense since these trading whales are professionals with no vested interest in abruptly tanking the market. When they require liquidity, traders are likely to use OTC trading platforms equipped to manage large transactions with minimal market disruption.
During the course of the research, the firm managed to divide the 32 wallets into four groups –
- Traders: The most active of the lot, these nine wallets controls over 332,000 coins, worth over $2 billion. They regularly conduct bitcoin transactions on exchanges. The relatively recent traders entered the markets in 2017 and own only a third of total whale holdings.
- Miners and the Early Adopters: 15 investors, who hold a total of 332,000 coins(same as the traders) forms the second largest group of whales. They entered the market prior to 2017 and made significant divestments in 2016 and 2017 when the token soared.
- Lost: 5 wallets that hold over 212,000 coins, worth approximately $1.3 billion, these owners have lost their private keys and thus have lost access to their bitcoin holdings. This can be derived from the fact that no transactions was observed from these whales since 2011. ?
- Criminals: the smallest segment of the lost, it constitutes 3 wallets that hold over 125,000 coins and approximately $790 million. Two of them are connected with the Silk Road darknet market, while the other appears to be involved in money laundering.
The research further decrees that these whales did not t intensify volatility, the study further states:
"That net activity demonstrates that trading whales were not selling off Bitcoin in any mass amount, but rather were net receivers of Bitcoin from exchanges in late 2016 and 2017. This indicates that trading whales were, in aggregate, buying on declines and, consequently, were a stabilizing, rather than destabilizing factor in the market…"
When the bitcoin price surged to $19,000 in 2017, the crypto community wondered, what if the 1,000 people owning 40 percent of all existing BTC cash it out simultaneously. A scenario like that can cause a glut in the market and sink prices to the advantage of certain traders and the loss of most.
The managing partner at Multicoin Capital, Kyle Samani, said then that he "think[s] there are a few hundred guys. They all probably can call each other, and they probably have."

"FIU professor, wife, charged with violating national security, denied bond
"A Florida International University professor and his wife, both accused of being foreign agents for Cuba's communist government, were denied bond today.
Federal Magistrate Andrea Simonton said Carlos M. Alvarez, 61, and his wife, Elsa, 55, posed a flight risk if allowed to return to their South Miami home. ''I believe they would go back to Cuba,'' Simonton said.
The couple were arrested Friday by federal agents and appeared in Miami federal court Monday. They are accused of serving as foreign agents for Cuba without registering with the U.S. government, as is required by law.
Carlos Alvarez is an associate professor of educational leadership and policy studies. Elsa Alvarez is an administrator at FIU.
Assistant U.S. attorney Brian Frazier said that Carlos Alvarez had spied for Cuba since 1977 and Elsa Alvarez since 1982, and that they relayed much of their information directly to Cuba's intelligence director, using shortwave radio and the Internet.
The FBI said the evidence the couple provided Cuba's government focused on Cuban exile groups in Miami and that there was no classified or sensitive military information provided to Cuba. The couple also provided Cuban officials with the identity of an FBI agent.
If convicted, they face prison sentences of seven to 10 years. Another hearing is set for Jan. 19.
The couple, who have five children among them, including a 12-year-old daughter, is in custody at the Miami Federal Detention Center. The indictment, returned in late December, was unsealed this afternoon.
Their arrests come as a federal appellate court in Atlanta hears arguments next month in an unrelated Cuban spy case in which five men were convicted of espionage charges. The Eleventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will determine whether pretrial publicity in that case tainted the jury pool."
According to an emailer, Elsa and her husband also did side work with Metro Dade PD working up psychological profiles on suspects (I've confirmed that). In addition, according to Mora y Leon over at American Thinker:
"A Google search shows that someone who's identified as Elsa Prieto (which is the maiden name of one of two U.S. spies accused yesterday), a psychologist associated with Florida International University, appears 1982 U.S. Congressional testimony as someone accused of handing over psychological records to the Castro regime as a means of coercing or blackmailing Cuban-Americans. The congressional report says:
"Due to the nature of mental illness these records are protected by State laws and Government guidelines, and usually only upon court order or personal waiver and release, can the information be obtained by a third party. The access of this type of information to suspected or actual Castro agents is of a great concern to all. Imagine if you will, what a fantastic tool for extortion or manipulation a foreign government would have by having this information. Let us ask you, how would you feel if you, your relatives, or assistants had a history of mental illness, and if this information was leaked to Cuba or any other country? Can you imagine the pressure that they could exercise over you?"
Castro has been infiltrating us for years. As in this 2001 Newsmax Article tells us, much of his "recruiting" is done through already established "plants" within our academic facilities, Why? How do they do it? Simple, it's easy.
"Intelligence operatives for communist Cuban dictator Fidel Castro are working in the U.S. to get their spies or unwitting "dupes into influential positions in America's defense establishment." Further, Castro is himself a "terrorist" whose intelligence service has a "biological weapons branch." Moreover, he is willing to aid whatever terrorist seeks to destroy the U.S, including Osama bin Laden's network. And he has sought to learn as much as he can about how the U.S. Postal Service works.
That information emerged at a Tuesday panel discussion in the Washington area that included two former Cuban intelligence officers who have defected to the U.S.
Cuba's major subversive focus of attention here is the U.S. military establishment, according to defectors Jorge Masetti and Jose Cohen. Professors at various campuses are aiding and abetting Castro, they allege."
Bascially the article states the 'targets' normally professors are grouped into three categories:
"1. Actual agents.
2. "Useful tools," or "dupes" as such people were known during the height of the Cold War with the Soviets.
3. The "unregistered agent."
The U.S. has no legal basis for acting against Categories 2 and 3 because they are not passing on classified information. The "useful tools" are generally well intentioned and innocent of how they are being used by Cuban intelligence. In some cases, intensive efforts are made to recruit them. Cuban intelligence agents also try to collect personal information on such people "in order to compromise them in some fashion or blackmail them."
"With some of these academics," said Cohen, "you can see an article in the New York Times, and you say to yourself, 'My God, it's very clear to me the information this individual is relating was fed to them by Cuban intelligence.'"
Cuban authorities have extensive files on many of the objects of recruitment in the U.S.
That prompted John Miller, an American journalist who has written extensively on Cuban espionage in the U.S., to say this would be a problem even if Cuba were not trying to do these things.
The ideological leanings of university professors "everywhere" would still give propagandists for Marxists such as Castro an advantage on U.S. campuses, he alleged. Miller cited Latin American studies as "especially vulnerable," but also leftist classes outside the traditional disciplines. These would include "women's studies, African-American studies and so forth."
Campus activity, Cohen added, is by no means restricted to infiltrating the defense industry here. For example, students are analyzed "in terms of their potential to plans for violence in a time of war." Among the violent acts envisioned is "the planting of bombs in American Metro stations, subway stations."
Lest one take seriously those who deny Castro's links to international terrorism, the Cuban defectors noted that the longtime Caribbean dictator visited Syria and Iran and vowed that together, Cuba and others would "bring the United States to its knees."
Read the rest of the Newsmax article - which although four years old, is still indicative of the infiltration of Castro's spy apparatus in the US.
By the way. As I understand it, they were nabbed using the NSA Surveillance program that the left is in such a huff about. Proof again - it works!
UPDATE: While the NSA program works, the larger question of this story would be how Elsa Prieto (Alvarez) would be identified in 1982 as handing over pschological records to the Cuban government YET go on to work at FIU and for Metro Dade only to be caught 20 years later. Who would allow an indentified plant of Castro to grow so long? Well, here's a further account from the AP:
"The couple were charged with acting as agents of Fidel Castro without registering with the U.S. government.
Frazier said Alvarez had spied for Cuba since 1977 and his wife since 1982. Neither was charged with the more serious offense of espionage, and FBI agents said there was no evidence they provided classified or military information to Cuba.
Much of what they provided involved information about the U.S. political situation, prominent Cuban-Americans in South Florida and the names of at least one FBI agent, Frazier said."
So apparently, even though in 1982 Elsa was indentified as sending psychological records on Cuban exiles to Castro and that act - while illegal under Florida law - was apparantly not deemed an act of espionage as no "US Secrets" were given....well, we have quite a story here that isn't being reported.
I'll be on the phones today digging further....stay tuned.

We're pleased to announce an update to our Praise Wall.
If you're unfamiliar with this feature, our Praise Wall allows you to display Small Improvements praises prominently on a dedicated screen, for instance in the hallway, kitchen, or a communal space.
Praise encourages a positive feedback culture, and increasing visibility boosts its impact. The Praise Wall in combination with our Slack integration makes the perfect pair in helping you spread good cheer within your organization.
Initially launched as a "bare bones 1.0" version during our Praise overhaul, the Praise Wall has gained popularity over time. Many customers have placed the Praise Wall around their office and shared their positive experience with us.
If you have yet to give it a try, get inspired by how other companies have integrated this feature:
In Dashlane's New York office, the Praise Wall can be found outside of the conference rooms.
"We're always looking for new ways to celebrate success," said Ciara Lakhani, VP of People. "We love the Praise Wall because it allows us to broadcast our appreciation to people for their great work, reminds us that our achievements are often a team effort, and helps us maintain a sense of community as we scale."
At Afia Inc, a "Win Wall" is mounted in the hallway to share how the staff is helping drive change in healthcare every day.
"We use the Praise Wall feature to highlight individual and collective performance to make celebrating wins of all types a part of our culture," said Jeremy Nelson, Co-Founder and Managing Partner.
Our Small Improvements Praise Wall is placed in the kitchen. It helps us start off each day with a dose of positivity while we make our morning coffee. 🙂
As seen above, not everyone uses Praise the same way. That's why we've made the Praise wall much more configurable than before, so you can customize the feature to feel like your own.
Let's get you caught up on what's new:
Make it your own
Whether you call it Praise, Recognition, or something entirely different – now you can change the title of the wall to match. On the top left-hand corner, you can also upload your company logo, a custom Praise wall logo, or remove it altogether.
A white background can look a bit minimalistic over time, so we've enabled color background. You can select from one of our predefined colors or input the hex code of your company color to match the Praise wall with your brand.
Put your own spin on it to reflect your company!
Decide how many Praises you want to show
Our Praise wall can be displayed on all kinds of screens, from iPads to large TVs. We realized that for smaller screens, our default of showing three praises at once may hinder readability. You can now configure the Praise wall to display just one praise, that's accordingly much larger, or two praises at once.
You can also control the number of Praises you display. We default to rotating the past 20 praises, but if you'd rather show the 10 most recent praises or provide more variety by showing 30, you can easily update the settings to your preference.
Configure rotation speed
Praises are set to display for 20 seconds before automatically rotating to the next. Depending on how many Praises you show at once, you can alter the rotation speed to be faster or slower.

The Linguistic Evolution of 'Like' 'They', used in a singular sense, clinches Word of 2016... With the guts of 10 weeks left to go before we usher in 2017, the American Dialect Society's annual meeting has just made an early grab for defining the 'Word of the Year' for 2016.
The Washington DC gathering of more than 200 of the top linguists in America saw the pronoun 'they', used in a singular sense rather than its prescriptive plural, win in a landslide vote, beating off other contenders like 'on fleek' and 'yasss'. The singular they, which has crept into many style guides in English-language newspapers around the Anglophonic world, is already a regularly heard phenomenon in spoken word. As an example of its usage, the American Dialect Society suggested "Everyone wants their cat to succeed," as opposed to the traditionally correct "Everyone wants his or her cat to succeed." 'They': the singular pronoun that could solve sexism – but is it grammatically correct? Who's 'they'? The rise of the gender-neutral singular pronoun.
In its 26th annual words of the year vote, the American Dialect Society (ADS) has plumped for the word "they" as a gender-neutral singular pronoun.
The choice has thrown light on the English language's lack of such a pronoun other than "it". Convention has it that using "they" as a singular form of address is grammatically incorrect. "If the English language had been properly organised… there would be a word which meant both he and she," AA Milne once wrote. The ADS drew attention to the word's use for people who identify as "non-binary" in gender, something increasingly accepted by editors and linguists. "In the past year, new expressions of gender identity have generated a deal of discussion and singular 'they' has become a particularly significant element of that conversation," said Ben Zimmer, a language columnist for the Wall Street Journal. So is "they" the answer to Milne's problem?

Image copyright Thinkstock Distinctive regional accents appear to have declined since the 1950s with more people now sounding like "southerners", researchers have concluded.
Results from 30,000 users of the English Dialects app have been analysed by developers at Cambridge University. People from 4,000 locations answered questions about the pronunciation of words such as "scone". Initial results showed more people now speak with accents similar to those in London and the south-east of England.

The former England football manager's faux Dutch accent in an interview recorded while in charge of FC Twente is one of the most hilarious examples of how we pick up accents depending on context – and whether we're trying to be liked or accepted. But it's actually rather common. Joey Barton, the footballer, put on a French accent at a press conference in Marseille. And Oprah Winfrey has been criticised for copying the accents of her guests, adopting previously unheard southern vowels. Most of us will have experienced it, lessening or emphasising our regional accents or slang depending on the social situation. So for linguistic psychologists, it's no surprise to see Miliband swap his bland north London speech for an estuary twang during his interview with Russell Brand, complete with street-style hand gestures. The phenomenon is called communication accommodation theory.
Linguists are like, 'Get used to it!' In recent months, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has used it; musician Buddy Guy has used it; Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson used it in grand jury testimony, as did his victim Michael Brown's friend Dorian Johnson.
A friend used it in an instant message chat to me, describing her attitude toward her sick boyfriend: "i'm like STAY OVER THERE." It's called the "quotative like," and over the last 25 years, it's become one of our language's most popular methods of talking about talking. The use of "I'm like" or "he was like" to introduce a quote, a thought, or a feeling has spread through English worldwide, from Jamaica to New Zealand.
