Jan 3 A Conversation with Professor María José Zubieta
Janet Lee
Janet Lee: So to start off, who are you and what do you do at NYU?
María José Zubieta: My name is María José Zubieta. I teach Spanish language and Spanish/English translation in the Department of Spanish & Portuguese. I started to teach at NYU in 2000 as a part-time Adjunct Professor! I don't know if a lot of professors who teach at NYU today started as part-time faculty, but I did because I was writing my PhD dissertation and I didn't want a full-time job. In 2001 I was hired as a full-time Language Lecturer, and in 2009 I was promoted to Clinical Assistant Professor.
JL: So where were you a graduate student?
MJZ: I was a graduate student at UCLA in the Spanish and Portuguese Department.
JL: What kind of student were you in undergrad?
MJZ: That will be a long answer. Let me give you my background first. I am an immigrant from Uruguay. I came to the U.S. when I was 12. I didn't know any English, so I started middle school as an ELL student. Neither one of my parents finished their college education, which means that when they arrived in the U.S. my father had to do typical immigrant manual labor. My mother knew English, so she was able to find work as an office assistant. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I finished high school, but I liked to study. Not knowing what I specifically wanted to study out of high school, I got an Associate's Degree from Los Angeles Pierce College. When I took English literature courses at Pierce to complete the requirements, I discovered that I really loved to read novels, poetry, and literary theory. I also took French to complete the language requirement, so I decided to major in French and English for my Associate's Degree. Afterwards, I went to California State University, Northridge for my Bachelor's, and at that point I knew that I wanted to study literature. I started as a French major but then I found out there was a Spanish Department, and I was thrilled, I loved the idea of studying Latin American literature in Spanish. And that's how I majored in Spanish Language and Literatures. In sum, I guess I was the kind of undergrad who paved her way as she went!
JL: Why did you choose Spanish literature instead of French literature?
MJZ: I think I quickly realized it would have taken a lot more effort to complete a B.A. in French than in Spanish. Also, reading and writing in Spanish was natural for me, and I wanted to connect with my Uruguayan self. My father was a political prisoner in Uruguay, and after he was released, my family moved to Argentina. I was seven years old at the time, and we lived there until I was twelve, which is when we moved to the U.S., to Los Angeles, to be more specific. When I started school in L.A., I felt out of place because I didn't know any English, I didn't have anything in common with my classmates. This was a difficult period because I constantly fantasized with moving back to Uruguay. When I started college, I realized that studying literature in Spanish was a way for me to connect with my culture and identity.
JL: So outside of the classroom, what kind of stuff did you do?
MJZ: I worked as a full-time legal assistant when I was doing my undergrad, which means that I took classes at night. I had no time for fun, I worked during the day, took classes at night, and spent the weekends studying because I wanted to complete my Bachelor's Degree in four years. It was difficult, but I was able to do it because I was very passionate about what I was doing. I was lucky because I studied exactly what I wanted to study, and I enjoyed my education.
JL: So after graduation, did you know you were going to continue in academia? Was that something you were always aware of?
MJZ: When I finished my B.A., I didn't want to look for a job because I had recently been a full-time employee. As I graduated cum laude, my professors at CSUN advised me to go to graduate school. I was thrilled at the thought because my dream was to be able to go to school during the day and to study full time. I was accepted in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UCLA, and I immediately started to teach as a graduate student. I liked it so much that I knew I wanted to teach for the rest of my life. Fortunately, I still think I want to teach for the rest of my life.
JL: When you were an undergrad, were there any people in your life that really influenced you?
MJZ: When I went to Pierce College, I took a U.S. history class. The professor who taught this class was and still is a role model to me, because she was so very passionate. When she was teaching, she threw herself into the subject, and you could tell by the way she taught and how she explained U.S. history that she truly enjoyed teaching. You could tell she wanted to influence her students to be as passionate as she was about U.S. history. I went into the class thinking it was a requirement, but she taught me what a huge impact a professor can make on her students. I had no particular interest in U.S. history and it wasn't what I studied, but she made me want to learn more, and I still remember things from her class. When I think back, my history professor at Pierce College is who I want to be in a classroom. Her first name was Elaine, she made all her students call her by her first name, even though she had a PhD, so I don't remember her last name. Sadly, she died the semester after I took the class with her.
JL: How did you get to NYU?
MJZ: When I arrived in New York in 2000, I emailed the Director of the Spanish Language Program at that time, Judith Némethy, I sent her my CV. She immediately called me and gave me a class to teach, I have been in the Spanish Language Program ever since.
JL: What would you tell your undergrad self?
MJZ: That's an important question, especially because I see what a difficult time some of my undergraduate students have. I was fortunate because no one in my family had a lot of expectations of what I would do with my education. Also, I paid for my education, so I didn't have anybody pressuring me to get the best grades. In fact, I failed my first Algebra class at Pierce College because I don't have a mathematical mind, whatsoever. The second time I took it, I got an A. But, interestingly, I didn't feel like a failure when I failed the class the first time, I didn't have the pressure of getting good grades, unlike my students today. Because I didn't stress over grades, I was able to explore many different areas in college. For example, I studied drama and acted in two plays. I got credit for doing the plays but it was much more work than a regular class, as I had to memorize my lines and go to the rehearsals every night. Despite the amount of work, it was a lot of fun and I discovered I'm a talented actor! So I want to tell my undergrad self to do exactly what she did: to be true to herself and to do what she loves most. That's what helped me become the happy and successful professional I am today. It's a challenge to start teaching new groups every semester, but I love that challenge. I love being able to explore different styles of teaching to accommodate different styles of learning. So, to sum it up, to my undergrad self and to everyone who is an undergrad today, I strongly recommend they pursue their true passion and care a little bit less about other people's expectations.
JL: Favorite coffee shop?
MJZ: I want to say Think Coffee, because it's the coffee shop I go to the most. I like the food and the coffee there, and it's in a convenient location when I walk to my office from the subway station.
JL: Favorite restaurant/cuisine?
MJZ: My favorite cuisine is Japanese-Peruvian fusion, by far, which is only available in Peru. My husband is Peruvian, so I get to eat Japanese-Peruvian fusion when we go to Peru every year. The restaurant I've been to the most close to NYU is Otto. I like their wine selection.
JL: Any books you liked?
MJZ: Many, many books. It's difficult to come up with just one book, but if I must choose a book that was particularly important for me, not only on the scholarly level, but also at the personal level, it would be Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar. Hopscotchis about how leaving your home country transforms a person indefinitely because your mind is forever divided into two places -the place you live in and the place you left. It's also an experimental book because you don't read it from beginning to end, you "hopscotch". At the end of each chapter the reader is told to go to a different chapter than the one that follows. In a way, that's how the mind and life of an immigrant works. Life as an immigrant follows an unconventional route where you need to create and recreate your life in ways you were not expecting.
JL: Who is your favorite superhero?
MJZ: I would say Nakia from Black Panther. She is a very strong figure in the movie because she is Black Panther's driving force. I identify with her because I did not choose an academic career the way my professors in graduate school thought I would. They thought I had everything that's needed to be a scholar, but I chose a teaching career and made that decision knowingly because I love to work with people, I don't like to work alone, and I don't enjoy the spotlight -well, maybe a little, when I'm in the classroom. Nakia is out of the spotlight many times, yet she is the driving force for the success of her tribe, she's the one who leads the women to safety and confronts the enemy tribe, but doesn't want to be the center of attention. I think she does this because she believes she's doing what she wants to do the most, which is to fight for the group, and I identify with that.
JL: Beach or mountains?
MJZ: Beach. I just went Mancora in Peru and loved it!

Damien Lee is originally from Sydney, Australia, but now lives in China. He is a Chinese education market industry professional and part-time Pinax and Django developer.
Basic, those were the days.
I was never truely gifted enough to appreciate machine code. Even though I learned logic gates as a teenager, I believed programs written creatively, could disrupt industries even before the word "disrupt" became a thing.
I did a lot of multi-language HTML work in my design startup in the late nineties (featured in a prominent Australian internet publication) . Later, friends and I discovered how PHP could change how phonecards could be sold online (we scratched all the codes from physical plastic cards, entered data into a MySQL database and sold them online). That was 2003. Code could do all this?! (With an ISP and Windows server 2003 IIE add-on of course!).
Well, no pull requests from me yet, however using Pinax apps in our subsidiary greenfield online platform made me realise how much the frameworks of yesteryear have changed. I took a hiatus from development and IT for several years doing our educational agency, and returning to head this new project I found Pinax encapsulates open source in the most practical way (as does Django). I appreciate the modularity of code.
I hope to contribute to Pinax not so much from direct pull requests, rather by setting up developer interest groups in China for Django and Pinax. I hope to get Chinese developers to put up pull requests that may "localise" the framework here.
Well, I'm working on a PC and Iconic enabled Hybrid app within my industry of educational referrral services. It is still in a premature stage and slated for a March 2016 launch.
I have nothing on my mind right now. A seperate suggestion would be that some of the core of user accounts and the starter projects have more social media OAUTH or a similar integration.
I can enjoy the time off my infant kid. Only parents can understand that statement.
Enjoy and take pride in what you create, no matter how big or small you think it is. You create something, that is all that matters (and even the boring but important things like documentation, testing…).
If you are a Pinax/Django/Python developer living in Shanghai and would like to get in touch with Damien, please feel free to send him an email.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu—the ancient Chinese military exposition dating back to the 6th century B.C. (if not earlier)—continues to hold meaning today. Beyond the treatise's ongoing influence on military strategy and tactics, much of its guidance and emphasis on outmaneuvering rather than fighting the opposition appears to have helped spread the piece's influence, relevance and application across business, management, legal, athletic and other competitive domains.
Summarizing The Art of War
Multiple translations of The Art of War exist. Using Chow-Hou Wee's 2003 translation, the 13 chapters of this timeless piece explore the following critical topics:
Detail Assessment and Planning explores the factors and elements that determine the outcomes of engagements, while stressing the gravity of war and importance of sufficient consideration.
Waging War explains the cost of warfare and emphasizes the success of campaigns may be measured by limiting the cost of competition and conflict.
Strategic Attack defines strength in terms of cohesiveness and unity rather than size, and highlights and prioritizes the five factors needed for success.
Disposition of the Army describes the importance of prioritizing and defending existing positions, while co-emphasizing the need to recognize strategic opportunities and not create such opportunities for the other side.
Forces emphasizes the use of team and individual skill assessment, creativity and timing in building a successful campaign.
Weaknesses and Strengths highlights how opportunities may emerge from the relative weakness of the enemy, and responding successfully to changes in the environment.
Military Maneuvers expands upon the dangers of conflict, and how to win direct confrontations if/when they are forced upon leadership.
Variations and Adaptability underscores the importance of flexibility in responding while explaining how to successfully respond to ever-changing conditions.
Movement and Deployment of Troops delves into situations faced upon penetrating new territories, along with assessments of opponents' intentions and possible reactions.
Terrain considers competitive ground/field positioning when facing an opponent, the advantages and disadvantages of various positions, and reactions and counteractions to each position.
The Nine Battlegrounds differentiates battlegrounds, defines their relative location and importance, and describes the leadership focus and tactics for navigating each battleground.
Attacking with Fire details the use and timing of both attacks and restraint, along with responses to consider when under attack.
Intelligence and Espionage builds out the importance of competitive intelligence while exploring the various types of intelligence sources and optimizing management of those sources.
Critical Takeaways from The Art of War
Sun Tzu's work provides entrepreneurs and innovators many valuable takeaways for consideration, including the following selected quotes (immaterially adjusted to clarify meaning) from a variety of chapters, along with their accompanying relevance:
Chapter 1 (Detail Assessment and Planning). "The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. Thus do many calculations lead to victory, and few calculations to defeat: how much more no calculation at all! It is by attention to this point that I can foresee who is likely to win or lose."
Entrepreneurial and Innovation (E&I) takeaway: Critical thinking, planning and scenario testing may be critical for improving the chances for success once action begins. Without planning and supporting analyses, defeat may be more likely. However, planning alone is not sufficient; individuals and teams must take action (i.e., "battle") for success.
Chapter 5 (Forces). "The clever combatant looks to the effect of combined energy, and does not require too much from individuals. Hence the combatant's ability to pick out the right team and utilize combined energy."
E&I takeaway: No individual can drive success alone, nor should leaders expect too much from any one person. Choose associates and partners wisely with complementary skills, and then use the combined energy and abilities of that team to maximize achievements.
Chapter 6 (Weaknesses and Strengths). "You can be sure of succeeding in your attacks if you only attack places which are undefended. You can ensure the safety of your defense if you only hold positions that cannot be attacked."
E&I takeaway: Assess markets carefully to understand your competition's strengths and vulnerabilities. Consider also looking in the mirror, to know how the market may similarly view you. Use that collective market intelligence to prioritize new initiatives and protect or prune your own business.
Chapter 8 (Variations and Adaptability). "The art of war teaches us to rely not on the likelihood of the enemy's not coming, but on our own readiness to receive that enemy; not on the chance of the enemy not attacking, but rather on the fact that we have made our position unassailable."
E&I takeaway: Market competition and disruption, whether real or looming, may always exist. Accept their presence, and play to your strengths and competitors' weaknesses to mitigate current and emerging competitive forces and optimize your chances for sustained success.
Chapter 10 (Terrain). "Generals who advance without coveting fame and retreat without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect their country and do good service for their sovereign (i.e., ruler), are the jewels of the kingdom."
E&I takeaway: Successful leaders create, develop and grow their business with a selfless collaborative mentality with their customers and company. Success may also include the occasional failure—innovating and not achieving an established target may not mean such an approach was a failure, if lessons are learned to improve the chances for success with the next targeted initiative.
Chapter 13 (Intelligence and Espionage). "Thus, what enables the wise sovereign (i.e., ruler) and the good general to strike and conquer, and achieve things beyond the reach of ordinary people, is FOREKNOWLEDGE. Now this foreknowledge cannot be elicited from spirits; it cannot be obtained inductively from experience, nor by any deductive calculation. Knowledge of the enemy's dispositions can only be obtained from others."
E&I takeaway: Market intelligence and understanding of emerging issues may be critical for sustained success. Networking, connections and cooperative sharing of information may be particularly important for such intelligence and understanding, and may only occur with regular interactions across a variety of mediums, including phone calls and face-to-face meetings.
The scope of The Art of War extends well beyond the constraints that may otherwise be implied by its title. With a meaningful focus on winning by outfoxing the opposition rather than battling them, the essay's sphere of influence has expanded well beyond military policy and strategy—fields as diverse as business, management, legal and sports (among others) have applied its teachings. Entrepreneurs and innovators across those and other fields may find its lessons similarly valuable.

Vatican's conflict with China
By Frank Ching
Once again, the Roman Catholic Church is in conflict with the Communist Party of China, with the newly ordained auxiliary bishop of Shanghai having publicly repudiated the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association, which was established by the Chinese government to exercise supervision over the nation's Catholics.
Ironically, the consecration of the new bishop, Thaddeus Ma Daqin, at Saint Ignatius Cathedral in Shanghai on July 7 had been agreed to by the Vatican and the Chinese authorities and so his appointment was not expected to be controversial.
Instead, it was the ordination of a new bishop in Harbin the previous day without papal endorsement that was expected to bring fireworks.
In fact, the Vatican had issued a warning that the episcopal ordination of Father Joseph Yue Fusheng without papal mandate would be contrary to the rules of the church. It warned that the new bishop be considered illicit and that he would be automatically excommunicated from the church. Any prelate taking part in the ceremony would also incur excommunication, the Vatican said.
Beijing considers the appointment of bishops in China as an internal affair in which the Vatican should not intervene. The Vatican, however, considers it to be a religious matter in which secular authorities should not have a veto.
The Vatican and the Chinese authorities have been conducting an on and off dialogue for years and, in fact, for several years, Beijing halted the ordination of bishops without papal approval.
But then, there was a breakdown and in November 2010, a priest, the Rev. Joseph Guo Jincao, was ordained bishop of Chengde, in northeastern China, without papal endorsement, the first such ordination since 2006.
Last year, three such "illicit'' bishops were ordained.
While the Vatican considers such bishops to be "illegitimate,'' it takes the position that they are validly ordained and so have the powers of a bishop, even though they are not in communion with Rome.
In May 2007, Pope Benedict XVI wrote a letter to Chinese Catholics in which he set out the position of the church.
In the letter, the pontiff made clear that the Chinese Catholic Patriotic Association, established by the government to create a church in China independent of Rome, is "incompatible with Catholic doctrine.''
On Saturday, Bishop Ma said that he wished to devote himself to his new duties and, as a result, "it is not convenient for me to be a member of the Catholic Patriotic Association.'' While his words shocked the Chinese officials present, they were greeted with prolonged applause by the congregation.
It is likely that the Vatican, too, was surprised by his action since there are currently bishops in communion with Rome who are members of the association.
In fact, this is the first time since the patriotic association was set up in the 1950s that a Catholic bishop had publicly announced his resignation.
China has already reacted negatively.
The patriotic association and the Bishops Conference of the Catholic Church in China ― which is not recognized by the Vatican ― have charged that the ordination of Bishop Ma "allegedly violated regulations'' of the bishops?conference.
It is likely that the Chinese authorities will repudiate the ordination and withhold their recognition of him as a bishop.
Unlike Henry II of England, who asked "will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest'' the Chinese government need look no further than its own patriotic association.
The communist party, which arrogates to itself the right to decide who will be bishop, will have no difficulty in deciding who to defrock.
Already the Shanghai diocese's website refers to him simply as "Ma Daqin,'' without any title.
This latest crisis in Sino-Vatican relations was triggered off by an individual decision but it was bound to happen.
China had been putting the Vatican in an impossible position by forcing bishops faithful to the pope to attend the consecration of illicit bishops. At the same time, it tried to have illicit bishops be involved in the ordination of those accepted by the pope.
All these actions make clear that Beijing has not given up its goal of having a church in China that is Catholic in name but that does not accept the authority of the pope.
This is tantamount to the creation of another Protestant church ― something to which the Vatican will never agree.
On its part, the Vatican should realize that the Communists are unlikely to accept a Catholic church that recognizes the pope's authority.
This impasse is unlikely to be resolved in the foreseeable future.

LONDON, Sept 17 (Reuters) - News of a potential fresh round of tariffs from the U.S. on Chinese imports dented European shares on Monday, with trade-sensitive autos and mining stocks the worst performing, while encouraging results propelled H&M shares up.
The pan-European STOXX 600 was down 0.2 percent by 0720 GMT, while Germany's DAX, home to large exporters and carmakers, slid 0.6 percent after reports Trump would likely announce new tariffs on about $200 billion on Chinese imports on Monday.
As the newest blow in an ongoing trade war sapped risk appetite, autos tumbled 0.9 percent and miners fell 0.6 percent.
Several stocks shone, however, after results.
Forecast-beating sales from H&M sent the shares jumping up 8.7 percent to the top of the STOXX, an encouraging result for the world's second-biggest fashion retailer whose shares are down 43 percent from their level a year ago.
Belgian biotech firm Argenx gained 7.6 percent after it reported positive results from a trial of its Efgartigimod drug for primary immune thrombocytopenia.
Casino shares rose 2.6 percent after the French supermarket's parent Rallye, through which Jean-Charles Naouri exercises control of the firm, got a new 500 million euro credit facility.
Rallye shares rose 5.5 percent.
Credit Suisse shares fell 0.8 percent after Swiss regulator Finma said the lender had failed in its duty to combat corruption in cases linked to FIFA and Venezuelan and Brazilian state oil companies.
The stock was likely supported by an interview with CEO Tidjane Thiam in Swiss newspaper NZZ am Sonntag, in which he said Credit Suisse was aiming for an annual profit of 5 to 6 billion francs for the next two years.


The parliament of Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan said a letter from the 71-year-old Barzani, reportedly including a plan to divide up his powers, would be read out when the assembly convened on Sunday.
One Kurdish source quoted by the German news agency DPA claimed that Barzani, who has run the region since 2005, would not seek re-election. His current term is due to expire next Wednesday.
Parliament's deputy head, Jaffar Eminki, declined to disclose the letter's content.
A power redistribution plan was outlined in the letter, according to a Kurdish government official cited by Reuters.
Kurdish member of parliament Iden Maarouf told the French news agency AFP that parliament would meet on Sunday to see how best to "redistribute the president's powers" among the legislative, executive and judicial authorities.
Nearly two weeks ago, federal Iraqi forces seized back the oil hub Kirkuk – from which Kurds had evicted Islamic State (IS) militants in 2014 – following a Kurdish independence referendum promulgated by Barzani that drew an overwhelming "yes" vote.
The Kurds' loss of Kirkuk's resources fueled recriminations from detractors in the regional capital Irbil and prompted the reconvened Kurdish parliament last Tuesday to offer Baghdad postponement of elections.
Those polls had been earmarked for November 1 but preparations fell apart as Baghdad retook the Kirkuk area, territory outside core Kurdistan.
Iraqi Kurdistan's main opposition party, the Gorran movement, previously shuttered from parliament by Barzani, has openly called for the departure of the former Peshmerga fighter.
The region last held a presidential election in 2009, which Barzani won. His term of office expired in 2013 and was extended twice.
Upping the pressure on Thursday, Iraqi President Abadi demanded that the Kurds declare their referendum void.
Kirkuk province is not recognized as a part of the Kurdish region's autonomous zone which was created under the 2005 Iraqi Constitution in the wake of the topping of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in the 2003 US-led invasion.
On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered a 24-hour suspension to military operations against Kurdish forces in northern Iraq.
He said Baghdad wanted federal forces to take control of border crossings in "all disputed areas," including Fish-Khabur, where an oil pipeline crosses into Turkey.
Irbil's once-humming airport has remained idle since Baghdad forbade international flights to the Kurdish region, also to persuade Kurds to disavow the referendum result.
On Thursday, Iraqi forces launched an offensive to recapture the last patch of Iraqi territory still in the hands of IS militants, in Anbar province on the border with Syria.

York gets £37m to build homes and create new jobs
York Central has moved a step closer with the promise of £37.3m of external funding to deliver the new generation of homes, 6,000 new jobs, and to improve the railway station.
The funding was confirmed from the West Yorkshire-plus Transport Fund and Leeds City Region Growth Deal – a £1 billion package of Government investment through the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership, delivered by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to accelerate growth and create jobs across Leeds City Region.
The funding will contribute to a new western access road, bridge and spine road into York Central, a fully accessible western entry into the railway station and the station frontage scheme which will bring a transformation of transport interchange facilities, enhanced accessibility and new public realm at the front of York station.
The scheme will support the delivery of up to 2,500 new homes and over 6,000 new jobs.
£23.5m of this funding will contribute to the £155m infrastructure funding package for York Central with a further £11.7m towards the costs of transforming the front of the station. Together the two schemes will open up the 72 hectare York Central site which is surrounded by railway lines, and create vibrant and distinctive residential neighbourhoods, cultural spaces, and a high-quality commercial quarter at the heart of York.
The plans for the front of the station will demolish Queen St Bridge, improve the public spaces and improve the transport interchange to create a greatly improved fitting gateway to the city. This funding is conditional upon the award of Housing Infrastructure Funding later this month and on the award of Planning permission.
Councillor Ian Gillies, Leader of City of York Council, said: "This is another signal of confidence in York Central Partnership's plans, and recognition of the importance of both this site and York's economy to the wider region.
"Developing this brownfield site been talked about for decades, and now we're another step closer to making it happen. The funding is dependent on other funding decisions and on the agreement of the planning application which comes to committee later this month. I hope that this is the start of a really positive few weeks for the development and the city."
Councillor Keith Aspden, Deputy Leader of City of York Council, said: "This funding is another welcome step towards unlocking York Central and creating a place where our residents, visitors and commuters want to live, work and spend time.
"With up to 2,500 homes to be built, including 500 available affordable homes, and new high quality commercial space, York Central will attract higher paid jobs to the city and become an integral part of York's future development."
The West Yorkshire Transport Fund money follows the £35m budget agreed by City of York Council in December. This will then be repaid using retained business rates from the York Central Enterprise Zone. The council's £77m bid for the government's Housing Infrastructure Fund is at an advanced stage, with a decision expected soon.
The outline planning application for the site will be considered by the council's planning committee on Monday next week.

Some of the most beautiful beaches in El Norte Chico are at Bahía Inglesa, which was originally known as Puerto del Inglés because of the number of English buccaneers using the port as a hideaway. It's not just the beautiful white sand that sets these beaches apart, however: it's also the turquoise waters, fresh air, and fabulous weather. Combine all this with the fact that the town has yet to attract large-scale development and you can see why so many people flock here in summer. If you are fortunate enough to visit during the low season, you can experience a tranquility rarely felt in Chile's other coastal towns.

Washington Post Blames Private Equity for ManorCare Woes
By Maggie Flynn | November 26, 2018
Skilled nursing chain HCR ManorCare's struggles were the direct result of its former private equity ownership, a Sunday report in The Washington Post alleged.
The paper analyzed inspection records as part of the wide-ranging story, finding that the number of health code violations found at ManorCare rose from 1,584 in 2013 to nearly 2,000 in 2017 — a gain of about 26%. When counting only the serious violations, or those categorized as "potential for more than minimal harm," "immediate jeopardy" and "actual harm," the Post analysis found a rise of 29% in the years prior to ManorCare's filing for bankruptcy in March.
The increases in health code violations at ManorCare started after 2011, when the Carlyle Group — the private equity firm that had owned the nursing chain since 2007 — and its investors executed a sale-leaseback agreement with HCP Inc. (NYSE: HCP). While the deal let Carlyle and its investors recover the $1.3 billion in equity they put into the purchase of ManorCare in 2007, it also constrained the company financially, according to the article.
It's an argument similar to the one made by Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL) CEO Tom DeRosa after the real estate investment trust (REIT) announced a deal with the non-profit health system ProMedica to take over ManorCare.
"Because of the leverage that private equity firms who owned these businesses put on these businesses, the operations became unsustainable," DeRosa said during a presentation earlier this year.
He echoed those comments in remarks to the Post, telling the publication that ManorCare was "over-levered, and it couldn't work under the capital structure that had been crafted."
HCP Inc. spun off its ManorCare portfolio in 2016, forming the "pure play" skilled nursing REIT Quality Care Properties — in part due to issues with the struggling nursing home operator. QCP faced a series of setbacks during 2017, eventually filing for bankruptcy protection this past spring. Welltower and ProMedica now own the real estate associated with ManorCare's facilities in an 80-20 joint venture, with the hospital system owning the nursing home operations outright.
ManorCare's long-term financial obligations rose from less than $1 billion to over $5 billion during the buyout by Carlyle, the Post reported, citing financial statements, and though the real estate deal helped pay down some of the debt, it led to major payments: ManorCare's rent to occupy the nursing homes was $472 million annually, according to legal filings, and was set to increase at 3.5% a year. ManorCare also had to pay for property taxes, insurance, and upkeep.
Officials at Carlyle told the Post that a 2011 decision by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to cut its payment to nursing homes by 11% in as a reason for the bankruptcy.
ManorCare, for its part, pushed back on the story.
"We feel the Post's story was not an accurate reflection of our care or standards," ManorCare assistant vice president of marketing communications Julie Beckert told Skilled Nursing News in an email.
According to Beckert, HCR ManorCare's total staffing, hands-on caregiving staff and nursing staff increased from 2007 to 2017.
"At the time that Carlyle transferred ownership of HCR ManorCare, CMS rated our quality and regulatory compliance above industry average," she said in the statement. "In addition, CMS rated HCR ManorCare's patient quality metrics and nurse staffing as outstanding. Finally, from 2013 to 2017, HCR's serious safety incident rate was better than the national average in each and every year."
Beckert also said in a different statement that the ManorCare Health Services – Pottsville facility, which featured prominently in the Post's story, is currently in compliance with federal regulations.
"Any issues that were made by the Washington Post happened prior to this year and have been addressed and corrected," she said in the statement.

The Rupea Fortress is halfway between Brașov and Sighișoara, about an hour away from each.It is a peasant citadel with four areas reinforced with polygonal towers. The citadel is modified in time, by adding two interior courtyards and three defense towers.In Dacian times, on these places was raised the dava known as Ramidava. A popular legend in the area tells that Dacian king Decebalus would commit suicide within the citadel during the Second Dacian War (105–106). Conquered by the Romans, Rumidava becomes the Roman castra Rupes (in Latin, "rupes" means "rock" or "stone"). Between 1432 and 1437 the citadel was attacked and robbed by Turks, as later, in 1643, to be abandoned, after a devastating fire turned it into ruins. At the end of the same century, Saxons return to the citadel to seek refuge. This time, the citadel will be handed over the Habsburg armies without armed resistance. The medieval citadel has been beautifully preserved and the feeling of being on the site illustrates the period in which it was built – the thick stone walls, the small windows at the depth of the wall, the massive wooden beams supporting the ceilings, the floors and the stairs inside the buildings. Among the buildings of the fortress is a building that is fully preserved on all its floors. In the courtyard of the citadel is a well.

Deceived
by: Irene Hannon
series: Private Justice
A grieving mother. A mysterious child. And a dedicated PI who's determined to solve the puzzle.
For three years, Kate Marshall has been mourning the loss of her husband and four-year-old son in a boating accident. But when she spots a familiar-looking child on a mall escalator, she's convinced it's her son. With police skeptical of her story, she turns to private investigator Connor Sullivan for help. As the former Secret Service agent digs into the case, the boating "accident" begins to look increasingly suspicious. But if Kate's son is alive, someone is intent on keeping him hidden--and may go to lethal lengths to protect a sinister secret.
As Irene Hannon's many fans have come to expect, Deceived is filled with complex characters, unexpected twists, and a riveting plotline that accelerates to an explosive finish.
