Roaches coming out of the walls helped get a Coral Gables restaurant closed
The number of live roaches at a longtime Coral Gables restaurant this week exceeded the establishment's 30 years of existence as well as the limits of the state inspector. Havana Harry's says it serves 'Cuban American fusion' fare and boasts that the 2024 Michelin guide included it among the Best Cuban Restaurants in Miami. There will be no boasting, however, about Monday's inspection fail that closed the restaurant at the corner of LeJeune Road and Vilabella Avenue. A customer complaint brought an inspector to 4612 LeJeune Rd., where 13 total violations, two of which were High Priority, were found. The restaurant reopened after passing re-inspection on Tuesday. (The inspection, like those of any restaurant, can be found on the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation website, but under 'Havanna Harry S.') READ MORE: Walmart and Kroger chicken meals recalled after listeria outbreak deaths As for the aforementioned live roach count, it was at least 38. The two largest roach counts on the inspection weren't exact: over 15 roaches coming from inside a broken wall post in the middle of the kitchen, next to a breakfast/sandwich making area; and over 10 live roaches on a wall and electrical area behind reach-in cooler and freezers. Elsewhere, seven roaches were seen 'coming from behind a metal wall at the cookline next to the gas stove.' Another three roaches were 'coming from the wall where the electric box outlet is connect at the to-go order prep area.' As for dead roaches, there were three, one on an electric line behind the ice machine, where a live roach also strolled. The cookline exit door to the outside had a gap, perhaps hindering Havana Harry's ability to keep out vermin. At the sandwich prep area, 'a box of uncut lettuce was stored on the shelf' without being covered. So, open to any kind of contamination. The cookline floors were 'soiled with an accumulation of debris.' The cookline hood filters were described as 'soiled with grease buildup.' The storage shelf at a prep cooler across from the cookline was 'soiled with old grease and food residue.' 'Clean drinking glasses were stored next to the handwash sink' meaning they were clean dishes 'exposed to splash' contamination.

Grid Dynamics to Unveil Robotic Inspection Solution at Automatica 2025
SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 19, 2025-- Grid Dynamics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: GDYN) (Grid Dynamics)—a leading provider of technology consulting, platform and product engineering, AI, and digital‑engagement services—today announced it will showcase its TPGen robotic solution at Automatica 2025, the world's leading event for smart automation and robotics taking place in Munich, Germany from June 24-27, 2025. The TPGen solution from Grid Dynamics, developed in collaboration with robotics industry partner Wandelbots, represents a major advancement in streamlining robotic inspection workflows for welding, gluing, and surface processing applications for manufacturers worldwide. Analyzing workpiece geometries, planning the scanning processes, and creating tool-paths are often a bottleneck in applications that involve robotic inspection of weld, seams, and surfaces. These steps might take significant time increasing both the time-to-market and the inspection costs. By eliminating the need for manual analysis and tool-path creation, TPGen enables manufacturers to reduce analysis and programming time, cut operational costs and overhead, lower energy consumption, and shorten time-to-market. The TPGen solution runs on top of Wandelbots' NOVA platform, offering an app for seamless and highly automated feasibility analysis, tool-path generation, and trajectory execution. 'TPGen represents a major shift in how manufacturers approach robot programming for inspection use cases,' said Ilya Katsov, CTO, Americas for Grid Dynamics. 'By automatically creating and optimizing tool-paths from CAD models and enabling truly automated workflows, we're helping our clients reduce analysis time from weeks to minutes while significantly lowering operational costs and energy consumption.' 'Wandelbots empowers partners and customers to transform robotic automation into intelligent, reusable, and scalable solutions,' said Katharina Jessa, Chief Revenue Officer at Wandelbots. 'TPGen by Grid Dynamics is a compelling example of what becomes possible with our platform — automating robot path planning for complex inspection tasks, drastically reducing engineering time and enabling flexible deployment across robot brands. It reflects the power of software-first innovation in solving high-impact industrial challenges.' TPGen capabilities include: Industry professionals and manufacturers interested in experiencing TPGen firsthand are invited to visit Grid Dynamics at Automatica 2025 at Wandelbots' Booth at B6.308. Live demonstrations will showcase the solution's capabilities across various inspection scenarios, highlighting its potential to transform manufacturing operations.

Current chief officer Simon Tuhill said the findings "provide a valuable opportunity for reflection and continued improvement". "I also recognise the need to improve in areas which have been identified, such as workforce planning, a greater diversity within the service and how we manage our budgets. "We are already working hard to address these through our current plans and will build on this with a new action plan."Inspector Lee Freeman said he was satisfied with some aspects of the service's performance in keeping people safe and secure from fire and other risks."However, it hasn't made enough progress since our 2022 inspection, and we have seen some areas deteriorate," he said. 'Unforeseen leadership changes' Former chief Wayne Brown was found dead at his home in January 2024, a day after the fire service announced he was under investigation over claims made about his qualifications for the role. His appointed successor, Ben Brook, then withdrew three days after getting the autumn, the interim chief executive of the fire service and the chairman of the fire authority both resigned following a dispute over fire authority former, Oliver Lee, had publicly alleged West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority's (WMFRA) governance lacked "courage, transparency, care and honesty".The inspector said: "I acknowledge the challenges the service faced at the time of our inspection. It was dealing with unforeseen changes in key leadership positions, and media stories that speculated on both the service and its governance arrangements."Our inspection team was still able to apply the same methodology we use for all our inspections." West Midlands Fire Service was graded across 11 eleven areas: four were found to be good, four were adequate, and three were graded as requiring improvement. The fire service was found to consistently meet its five-minute response standard, providing a fast response to the public, and was also prepared to respond to major and multi-agency incidents, working well with other services during the inspectorate said the service had a supportive culture among staff and good welfare provisions were in inspectors added: "They must make sure staff at all levels are demonstrating the service's values and behaviours."They also said the service did not manage staff performance and development effectively. The report added that the service must make sure it has processes in place to manage and develop staff and increase learning and development to meet their inspectorate also said the service had faced financial challenges and needed to make example, it needed to make sure there was appropriate scrutiny, challenge and forecasting in place, to make sure the public gets value for money and the service is sustainable in the future.
