HANOI • Vietnam wants to reassure investors that new leaders chosen last week by Communist officials at its party congress will press ahead with economic reforms as policymakers aim to boost growth to the fastest pace in nine years.
Policymakers will continue "refining and modernising the financial and banking sector", further privatise state-owned companies and upgrade its infrastructure, said Deputy Foreign Minister Le Hoai Trung, who was re-elected last week to the powerful central committee of 200 top officials.
"The message is that we will continue with our economic reforms even though we know there are challenges," Mr Trung said last Thursday at the close of the party meeting that takes place every five years to chart the country's direction. "The reforms have brought about historic and significant results, so we would go forward with it. It's also the wish of the public."
Vietnam's Communist party officials gathered last week to choose a new slate of leaders who will lead the country until 2020 and set a growth path that avoids a repeat of past mistakes, including soaring credit growth that saddled banks with bad debt and preferential treatment of state companies that created inefficiencies.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong was re-elected to the position for a second term while Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc was nominated to replace premier Nguyen Tan Dung when his term ends in July, raising questions whether the political transition will slow the pace of reforms.
"Vietnam operates under a consensus-based decision-making framework, and therefore changes in personnel will not immediately alter the policy trajectory," wrote Mr Andrew Fennell, Hong Kongbased associate director of Asia-Pacific sovereign ratings at Fitch Ratings, in a research note.
They want stability for regime security... That does not create an open environment for more reforms or faster reforms.
MR TUONG VU, an associate professor of political science at the University of Oregon, on the likelihood that the new leadership will be resistant to bold initiatives
Vietnam's commitment to a structural reform-oriented policy, including a focus on macro stability and market liberalisation, will remain important factors for the country's macro outlook, according to Mr Fennell.
Still, the new leadership will probably shun bold initiatives and may slow reforms needed to meet the conditions of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact, such as allowing for independent labour unions, said Mr Tuong Vu, an associate professor of political science at the University of Oregon.
"They want stability for regime security," said Mr Vu. "That does not create an open environment for more reforms or faster reforms."
Vietnam is forecast to expand at 6.7 per cent this year and to be among the world's fastest-growing economies. But a cloud over its economic picture is a trade deficit, widening public debt and Hanoi's failure to meet its goal to privatise 289 state companies last year.
"Equitisation of state-owned companies is a very difficult process in any country," said Mr Trung, adding that Vietnam has increased the number of state companies that were privatised. Policy makers "would go forward" with it, he said.
During the congress, several leaders expressed concerns that Vietnam risked falling behind regional peers. Average growth in 2011 through 2015 was 5.9 per cent, lower than the 6.5 per cent-to-7 per cent target that the government had set.
"We are now trying to change to a new development model that aims for sustainability," Mr Trung said. "We would continue with our policies of trying to mobilise international resources including foreign direct investment."
Four to watch
Vietnam's leadership for the next five years is taking shape after a recent Communist Party congress. The picks for prime minister, president and National Assembly chairman are expected to be rubber-stamped by the Parliament around mid-year and will serve through 2020. Here are four faces to watch.
He heads a conservative wing of the party. Analysts say Mr Trong looks committed to continue opening up the economy, but potentially at a slower pace than the administration of Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, who retires this year. How Mr Trong balances ties with the United States and China, given its territorial frictions with the latter, its biggest trading partner, is another big question.
Vice-premier Nguyen Xuan Phuc is not known for grand initiatives, having overseen a three-year campaign to streamline the bureaucracy. Some analysts have described him as a straight- shooter with solid connections. Mr Phuc, a former vice- party chief of the central province of Quang Nam, where he was born, studied economics in Singapore.
He is heading up a committee looking at Vietnam's rules against corruption. On foreign policy, he has said "justice" will win in Vietnam's disputes with China in the South China Sea.
Currently minister of public security, Mr Quang visited the US last year and was quoted as saying Vietnam welcomed US cooperation in the region. His talks there focused on maritime security, cyber issues and human trafficking. He's tipped by some analysts as a potential future party chief. He has a Vietnamese doctorate degree in law.
Now the vice-chairman of the National Assembly, Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, who was born in the Mekong Delta province of Ben Tre, is something of a dark horse. She has a master's degree in economics and is the former minister of labour, invalids and social affairs. Ms Ngan also served as deputy trade minister.

Clip n Climb is extreme fun for all ages! All equipment is provided, and with unique themed climbs, indoor climbing has never been easier, with the use of their automatic belay devices which take in the slack as you climb, then gently lower you the ground. It's where climbing wall meets theme park!
Use code CNC3E9MF to get your KSL 2 for 1 deal!
And their children's birthday parties are second to none with 2 hours of fun and both healthy choice and standard options.
Have you taken the kids to Clip N Climb in Gosford? My two kids aged 12 and 8 were itching to get active one afternoon after school so we thought we'd give it a try to burn off some kidsize energy and wow, were we impressed!
GREAT for kids of all ages (from about 3 we would suggest) - if you can fit into a harness you're cool to climb! Fantastic for those little dare devils who want to do what their older siblings are doing but usually can't!
The supervision, and instruction are excellent here too - no heart attacks for Mum and Dad, it's clear your kids come first and safety is a priority.
My two tested out all the climbs as well as the 'Leap of Faith' (you have to see it to believe it) and the Sky Fall (what an adrenaline rush) and gave them all a massive thumbs up.
Another winning addition for us was that they hold kids parties - we'll definitely be having our next one here.

"Mentored Pathways has provided unique opportunities for our biomedical students to engage, collaborate, and learn from experts within the healthcare sector. We have dedicated mentors from Colorado as well as around the globe that have challenged and supported our students to develop greater depth of knowledge and more professional projects. Additionally students see the value and need for collaboration and utilizing individual team member strengths in order to design creative solutions that have been vetted according to industry standards.
The Mentored Pathways Career and Academic Portfolio Asset is a tool that students can leverage to make long term plans that will help them in pursuing career goals. So many students leave high school (and even college) without a clear understanding of what is needed to successfully enter the professional realm. This asset encourages high school students to explore not just the initial college requirements but much further beyond so that they have a true awareness of the professional demands within their career. Having their academic/career plans reviewed by a professional clarifies strengths and weaknesses so that students can adapt when challenges arise.
I have found mentors to be a tremendous support within the classroom for both students and myself. Their expertise within the medical field can be called upon to troubleshoot, gain greater insight, and stay updated on current practices in healthcare. I look forward to inviting experts as mentors to share their knowledge and experiences with students. I've found that engaging with guest speakers to be one of the most valuable learning opportunities for students. Students have indicated how beneficial engaging and asking questions of experts has been in developing their skills and knowledge."

The implications of the depth of pigment placement is a very important topic for both patient and beginner artist. This factor is mostly responsible for creating an undetectable illusion of hair stubbles. The quantity of residual pigment in the first several days after treatment is the most accurate measure of pigment placement sufficiency. This phenomenon is explained by the natural layered system of skin:
- Epidermis (0.5-1.5mm)
- Stratum corneum
- Stratum granulosum
- Stratum spinosum
- Stratum basale
- Dermis
The highest efficiency is achieved by placing the pigment in the upper layers of dermis, which is explained by peculiarities of other skin cells layers. The two upper layers of epidermis, both Stratum corneum and Stratum granulosum, work as immediate barriers for the infection and foreign bodies in order to maintain high level of skin protection. With Stratum spinosum being the most extended layer, the microscopic canal made by tattoo needle fills cells with pigment mostly in this layer. The cells of stratum basale are the lowest of the epidermis and the most protected by the other layers, yet the loss of pigment on all levels of epidermis is very high.
The first reason for pigment instability in the epidermis is constant migration of skin cells to the upper layers. The migration starts due to the cells of the stratum basale being mitotically active and their moving towards the skin surface throughout their life cycle. The migrating cells contain the particles of residual pigment and then exfoliate naturally as they reach the upper level, thus eventually all the pigment has been pushed upwards from the epidermis and all the epidermis layers will be rid of the pigment particles.
The second reason for the epidermal pigment loss is the activity of phagocytic cells. Being on watch for the wellbeing of the immune system, these cells absorb and neutralize the foreign elements in the tissues, minimizing the threat of infection. The residual pigment particles from stratum basale are eliminated by various types of phagocytic cells that are most active on this layer. Pigment particles on the dermis level can also be seized by phagocytic cells, but since the latter concentrate mostly on the epidermal-dermal border, the only remaining pigment is the one originally placed in the superficial dermis.
source link of photo: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-stratum-corneum.htm
Within several days the residual pigment from stratum corneum washes away completely at thepatient's first hair wash, as well as the extravasation (a bleeding amalgam) of the pigment on the surface. The amount and speed of the pigment being absorbed by the body's lymphatic system varies for each patient, normally taking up to one month. The full turnover of stratum corneum happens within approximately four weeks, thus bearing in mind the speed of basal layer cells migration, we can expect all the pigment from the epidermis to be expelled in a couple of months. The biopsy taken after four months from the patients forty years old show no presence of pigment particles in epidermis, though they can still be found in dermal fibroblasts that replaced the granulation tissue of the micro wounds left by the tattoo needle, both intracellularly and extracellularly.
The depth of the stratum basale from the stratum corneum varies in different areas of the scalp which complicates manual depth control of the pigment placement in the superficial dermis and can cause pigment leakage. After one month, the elimination of the pigment particles in stratum spinosum through cell migration is still not over and the pigment particles are present in fibroblasts, keratinocytes and macrophages. That is why the patient can see some color changes in the tattooed scalp shortly after the procedure and follow-up visits are needed. Other factors that can change the appearance of the tattooed scalp are extravasation and exposure to ultraviolet rays.

Looking Below the Surface
Signs of emotional immaturity in churches
- Ignoring the "ungodly" emotions of anger, sadness and fear
- Denying the past's impact on the present
- Doing for God instead of being with God
- Spiritualizing away conflict
- Covering over brokenness, weakness and failure
- Living without limits
"When the pain of not looking surpasses the pain of looking, we will be willing to look under the surface of our lives"
--Pastor Nate
"It's impossible to be spiritually mature and remain emotionally immature. We need the Gospel of Jesus to transform every area of our Everyday Life"
--Pastor Nate
Breaking the Power of the Past
"If you believe by simply ignoring the past, your past won't exist or it will all go away, you are living under a destructive illusion"
--Pete Scazzero
"We can never break the power of the past if our God is too small!"
--Pastor Nate
"I am not who my past tells me I am, I am who God says I am, and He says, "You are mine"
--Pastor Greg
Receiving the Gift of Limits
"When God says no — when he gives a limit, remember, God's ways are extremely good and gracious. If that is true - and it always is, God's "no" is a gift."
--Pastor Nate
"Our limits aren't keeping us from finding fulfillment, but rather our limits direct us to our God-given purpose."
--Pastor Chris
"Figuring out our limits is best done in community!"
--Pastor Chris
"God doesn't guard us from places where we have to make a choice. In fact, He often sets us up in the exact situation where we have to make a choice to say 'no.'"
--Pastor Nate

The Virginia men's basketball team will be without ACC sixth man of the year De'Andre Hunter for the NCAA tournament after the 6-foot-7 guard-forward broke his left wrist, Coach Tony Bennett announced Tuesday, dealing a severe blow to the Cavaliers' national championship aspirations.
The news came just three days before Virginia, the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament in the South Region, plays No. 16 seed Maryland Baltimore County on Friday night in Charlotte.
Hunter, the Cavaliers' fourth-leading scorer (9.2 points per game), is scheduled to have surgery Monday and is expected to be out 10 to 12 weeks.
A statement released by the athletic department indicated the injury happened during last week's ACC tournament in New York. Virginia (31-2) captured its second ACC tournament title in three years by beating North Carolina, 71-63, in the championship game Saturday night at Barclays Center.
[NCAA tournament cheat sheet: Bracket analysis, upset picks and more]
When the injury occurred is unclear. Hunter landed awkwardly during Friday night's 64-58 semifinal victory over Clemson, bracing his fall with both hands as he crashed onto the court late in the first half. He missed two free throws shortly thereafter and finished with nine points. But the versatile redshirt freshman with NBA potential had 10 points and four rebounds in 18 minutes in the next night's tournament final.
Hunter's absence likely means increased playing time for reserve forward Mamadi Diakite, a 6-9 redshirt sophomore who has played in every game this season and averages 5.3 points and three rebounds in 15.4 minutes.
"Won't be the same without my brother . . . but know this. We got you and this for you," tweeted Cavaliers starting guard Kyle Guy minutes after Virginia tweeted the announcement on its official account.
Hunter's injury is the latest misfortune to plague Virginia entering an NCAA tournament. Last season, starting forward Isaiah Wilkins was suffering from an illness and was limited to five minutes in a first-round victory over UNC Wilmington. Wilkins sat out the next game, and the Cavaliers lost to Florida, 65-39.
In 2015, standout wing player Justin Anderson underwent an emergency appendectomy late in the season and later broke the pinkie on his shooting hand, leaving him less than 100 percent for the NCAA tournament, when the Cavaliers lost to Michigan State, 60-54, in the second round.
[Fancy Stats: Five Cinderellas who can reach the Sweet 16, including a No. 16 seed]
Hunter made one of the most memorable shots of this past regular season when he banked in a three-pointer as time expired to give Virginia an improbable 67-66 victory at Louisville. The Cavaliers scored five points in the final 0.9 seconds of that game to complete a 9-0 conference road record, the first in ACC history.
Hunter scored a career-high 22 points Feb. 13 to spark a 59-50 win against Miami in Coral Gables, Fla. He made 3 of 6 three-point attempts and added three rebounds in a performance Hurricanes Coach Jim Larranaga credited largely for the outcome.
"They had De'Andre Hunter," Larranaga said. "He was the answer to every one of the questions we presented to them."
Hunter's scoring touch was but one of many ways in which he contributed to Virginia's record-setting run through the ACC. He also proved highly valuable as a defender and as one of the Cavaliers' most skilled passers.
During a 59-44 win against Syracuse at the Carrier Dome on Feb. 3, Hunter frequently operated out of the high post, with Virginia running its offense through him to attack the Orange's challenging 2-3 zone defense.
Hunter had a season-high six assists with just one turnover, delivering pinpoint passes to Diakite and starting forward Isaiah Wilkins cutting to the basket for uncontested dunks and layups.
Hunter's athleticism has generated other highlights this season as well, most notably a dunk over Tar Heels senior guard Joel Berry II on Jan. 6.
"Early in the season I was kind of tentative and not too aggressive," Hunter said at the time, "and my teammates kind of got on me for that, so as the season went on, I just tried to get more and more aggressive and help the team in any way possible."

PRESENTATION DATE: Thursday, November 29, 2012
TOPIC: Concentration and Inequality Across Brazilian Regions
ABSTRACT: This presentation deals with the general trends of economic concentration and inequality across Brazilian regions. General indicators are presented, revealing the high degree of economic disparities in the country and its persistency. Regional concentration and its evolution is measured by the economic center of gravity, defined as the GDP-weighted latitude and longitude in each year for its regions. The evolution of productivity in agriculture, manufacturing and tertiary activities reveals that the traditional areas still keep their competitive position even after many changes in the country's economy. Recent reductions in regional disparities are highlighted, and the possible role of social policies, such as a massive cash transference program, are explored.

Hey Guys and Gals,
In order to help alleviate some of the Saturday morning craziness and continue to provide the coaching and personal attention each and every one of you deserves, we are going to try something new this weekend (Sat, 4/8/17) and see how it goes.
We tend to have quite a mix on Saturday's, with attendees ranging from our newest to our most experienced members, out of town drop-ins, friends/family members trying it out for the first time, etc. and I feel this new structure will allow for all parties to come away with a more positive and fulfilling training session.
- The 9:30am All Levels class will be offered at 9am. It will still be an hour long and is still free for friends and family of our members. Workouts will be mainly gymnastic and cardio oriented (meaning we will tend to stay away from the barbells) and will often incorporate some type of partner or team element. This class is by no means any easier than our regular class offerings, just slightly less technical to accommodate all ability and experience levels.
- From 10am - 11:30am we will be offering a new class entitled Advanced Training Session. This class is for our more experienced CrossFitters who want to squeeze in some additional lifting and workout with those of similar ability levels. I will help lead the training session and provide the programming I'm going to follow for the day. This will include some type of power lifting or olympic weightlifting component, gymnastics piece and then a WOD. Participants will be responsible for warming themselves up and must have a strong understanding and proficiency in the olympic lifts. Essentially this a guided Open Gym offering and I can potentially have some training partners and not have to workout alone!
- Open Gym will run from 10am - Noon instead of starting at 10:30am.
I have updated MindBody to reflect these changes so make sure you are signing up class (the earlier the better!) and let me know if you have any questions. We will see how it goes and if we don't like it, we will continue to brainstorm in order to continually improve our class offerings and client experience.
- Blake

First Nutrient Feeding for the SCROG Grow
What's up Cannabis Growers, my name is Dylan and welcome back to The Screen of Green Series by GreenBox Grown. We are still in week 1 of the grow and in todays video I will be demonstrating how to give your plants their first nutrient feeding. If your plants are past this stage in their lifecycle, just visit the full SCROG Grow Series at greenboxgrown.com. Alright, now lets go see how to mix that week 1 nutrient feeding!
As you can see here, I will be using the Fox Farm Dirty Dozen nutrient line, but for this grow series, you can use what ever mix of nutrients you prefer. Since I am growing in a coco coir mix, I will be adding half a tsp of CoCo Wet per gallon of water to help with the absorption of nutrients by the roots system. I will also recommend adding a full tsp of Cal Mag Product per gallon of nutrient feeding you do as this will really with keeping your plants strong and healthy. I also have a pH pen and pH down so i can adjust the mixes accordingly, and will be using the pH range of 5.8-6.3 for all waterings.
Here is the feeding chart that comes with the Dirty Dozen Kit, and most nutrient companies provide a feeding chart that you can find on their website for personal use. It is important to follow a feeding schedule, as the plants needs change over the course of the grow, especially once they are in flower. Ok so I will be following the week 1 mix for this feeding, and I am using the Soil feeding schedule since I am growing in a soil medium. I will be using the Foliar spray over the course of this grow, but I wont be starting it just yet.
Now its time to mix everything together, and there is actually an important order to follow. First you want to add all of the nutrients, then the coco wet. At this point you'll stir everything together, test the pH, and then adjust accordingly. Once you are in the range of 5.8-6.3 pH you are ready to water. Be sure to water gently so you don't move the soil around and disturb the roots, and you don't have to water too much at this point since the plants are still small. Just water around the base about 4-5 inches out from the base and you are good. It is not shown in this video, but I also give the plants a misting of plain pHd water and this will just be pHd in the range of 6-6.3. Once you are done with the misting, you have completed your first nutrient feeding!
Alright guys so that concludes The Week 1 Nutrient Feeding for the Screen of Green Grow Series by GreenBox Grown. The next video in this series will be the last for Week 1, and will entail adding the LST Hooks to my Blue Dream Plants! If you enjoyed the video, please give us a thumbs up and don't forget to comment below with your feedback. Also don't forget to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already done so! As always, thank you for watching and until next time…
Happy Growing

One of the arguments Donald Trump used on the campaign trail to suggest that his election was inevitable was that frustrated Democrats would cross party lines to support his candidacy. It's clear that this actually happened, and perhaps happened enough to make the difference in the three states he narrowly won to clinch the electoral college majority and the presidency.
But new analysis from the Pew Research Center suggests that flipping parties between late 2015 and now was fairly uncommon — and that the most volatile group of voters should sound an alarm for Republicans over the long term.
Overall, about 20 percent of those in each party tracked by Pew wavered on their partisan support, with about half of that 20 percent eventually returning to their original party. About 10 percent of Democrats and Republicans, in other words, left their party and joined the opposition.
When you look at the data by age, though, the patterns are interesting. Among Democrats, those ages 50 to 64 were most likely to switch to the Republican Party — a group that clearly overlaps, to some extent, with those to whom Trump felt he held an appeal.
Look at those Republican numbers, though.
Nearly half of Republicans younger than 30 bailed on the party at some point, with 23 percent of that group flipping to the Democrats. The entire point of this research, of course, is that partisan identity isn't entirely static, and younger voters may still be in the mode of determining where their political loyalties lie. If that's the case, though, that phenomenon is restricted to the GOP; young Democrats were less likely to switch party identity than older Democrats.
The problem for Republicans is that those young voters may stay away from the GOP. Studies have shown that partisan identity is formed early on, with partisanship tending to correlate to the popularity of the president in office. As FiveThirtyEight noted in 2014, the most fervent Republican voters are those who were 18 at the outset of the Eisenhower and Reagan presidencies; the most Democratic were those who turned 18 as George W. Bush was mired in the Iraq War.
That's the alarm bell that should be ringing at Republican Party headquarters right now: a historically unpopular president and young voters who are balking at the party. The period considered by Pew encompasses Trump's campaign, of course, and just as those older Democrats who defected probably did so in part because of Trump, it's fair to assume that some number of the younger Republicans who did so were driven by his candidacy, as well.

Disaster Movies and Family Harmony
Michael Berube wrestles with "popular culture":
Invasion of the Marriage Disaster Flicks: So Janet and I saw War of the Worlds last night, a movie we wanted to see precisely because it has no emotional content whatsoever. We were pleased, however, to find out that (and I think I'm paraphrasing a reviewer here, but I can't remember which one) a brutal alien invasion will get Tom Cruise back in touch with his children (Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin). I suppose there's more to say about the film, particularly about Tim Robbins's bizarre appearance as himself in Mystic River (apparently he's now ready to re-enact the child molestation in the basement bit, this time with himself as the molester). But what Janet and I wanted to know, as we left the theater, was how the hell the marriage between Mary Ann (Miranda Otto) and Ray Ferrier (Cruise) could ever have happened in the first place. That's far less plausible than a mass invasion of insect-lizard aliens driving huge tripods around the globe.
As for the closing scene, in which Cruise delivers the kids to Otto (who's in Boston with her second husband) and Chatwin finally calls him "dad": what is it with this narrative trope, anyway? There's a disaster or an invasion or a lethal virus or a mysterious bunch of aliens living in our oceans, and the story ends when the family romance is completed in some way? Quoi? And pourquoi?
I've been wondering about this for some time, and even tried to write about it a few years ago, but I don't really know what to do with it aside from pointing it out. So, dear readers, I cheerily invite you to give it a go. Here are your Texts for Analysis. Please remember to write legibly!...
Well, it seems to me that what what Michael and Janet regard as a strange deviation from the disaster-movie genre is an attempt by Hollywood to stretch the movie's appeal by combining typical narrative patterns expressed by preschool-age boys and girls. The boys want (and tell) stories about power, violence, chaos, and destruction. The girls want (and tell) stories about people embedded in family relationships doing things which end with the reaffirmation or restoration of the harmonious family.
Here, for example, is Agelike Nicolopoulou of Lehigh, analyzing stories told by 4-year-olds at a western Massachusetts nursery school http://www.lehigh.edu/~inpsy/nicolopoulou1997.pdf:
The preschool makes strong and deliberate efforts to create an egalitarian, nonsexist atmosphere.... [O]ne of the teachers' intentions in using this storytelling and story-acting practice is to help generate greater cohesion and a common culture.... [T]o a great extent, however, [the children]... build up two subcultures within the classroom, not one.... The kinds of stories told by the boys and girls differ systematically... in both form and content... embody two distinctive types of genuine aesthetic imagination (surprising as it may seem to assert this about preschoolers), each with its own inner logic and coherence.... The girls' stories show a strain toward order, whereas the boys' stories show a strain toward disorder....
The older girls in this group told stories that largely fit within what I call a "family genre"... start... with characters already embedded... in stable and given networks of social relations, the most favored of these being the family unit.... [T]he world outside the home may be a source of danger and disruption....
Once upon a time there was a castle, and a king and a queen and a prince and a princess and a unicorn and a pony lived in it. And they went for a walk. And they found a playground and they swang on the swings, and they slide down the slide, and then they went back home. But they had some trouble finding the way. But then a dog came to them and said, "I'll help you find the way home," and he did. The End.
[W]hen the girls do introduce a danger, threat, or surprise, they are almost always careful to resolve it in a positive way before ending the story....
In short, the girls' stories are... organized around the representation, maintenance, and restoration of order... rooted in a frameork of stable social relationships... anchored topographically in the home....
In contrast, the overwhelming majority of 4-year-old boys' stories start with isolated individual characters... defined... through their actions.... The characters most often used by boys tend to be either big and powerful animals.. superheroes, villains, and other cartoon action characters... [and] a small number of small but lethal characters.... The stories focus on struggle and destruction... straightforward descriptions of destruction and/or chaos are not uncommon:
Once there was Robin Hood. Then Batman came. Then prince John came--he's the king. Then Superman came. Superman battled with Batman and Batman died. Then he came alive again. Superman died. And then Splinter, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo came. Then an Indian came on a horse with a bow and arrow. Then a cowboy came on a horse with a bow and arrow just like the Indian and shot Superman so he wouldn't ever come alive again. And they lived happily ever after. The end.
The standard action movie pattern used to be (a) that the movie ended when the antagonist had been overthrown and (b) that ending was announced by the clinch between the hero and the ingenue. This new "combinatory" narrative pattern is a shift. And I do not think it is a successful shift--the attainment of harmonious family relationships is simply grafted on, and does not emerge organically out of the central action of the movie.
Hollywood is aware that it has an audience bifurcation problem with movies like "War of the Worlds," and it is trying to figure out how to fix it, but it is failing. In spite of the restoration of harmonious family relationships at its end, "War of the Worlds" does not make it as a chick flick. "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" is a much better movie, even though it lacks death rays and large explosions.

I recently visited my cousin David and his wife Amanda in Boston. The primary agenda for the trip was to meet their 20 month old daughter who I was excited to see. The other thing I was excited to see in person was Amanda's new venture, Pantry.
Pantry is a business that sells recipe kits; a brick and mortar Blue Apron if you will.
I guess the place is technically a grocery store since you buy food there but the experience and the look of the place feels more like a boutique store.
The space is wonderfully designed and organized. I love the clean, spare layout and the floating oversized recipe cards with the beautiful photos of the dishes hanging over the tables. Along with the recipe kits, Pantry also sells wine and beer to complement the dishes as well as cooking tools like cast iron skillets, knives and such.
Each kit you buy comes with pre-proportioned ingredients as well as a recipe card that gives you step by step instructions on how to make the dish. The best part for novice/non cooks or for the harried, I think, is no more measuring. Instead of figuring out how much a teaspoon of something is, you just open the packet and dump it in.
Another potential benefit (one I'm hoping for) is less food wastage. The amount of ingredients in each kit is measured for that recipe so you no longer need to buy a whole can of seasoning for the one time you will be making the dish. No more buying the entire bundle of greens for the single sprig. With 40% of our food going to waste each year, any way to reduce the wastage is good.
The day I was visiting, the Pantry crew was testing the new recipe for pad Thai noodles. mmmm! Those who know me know that I take to noodle dishes like duck takes to water.
OK. but it's one thing for professional cooks to use the kits. How well do the kits work in real life situation, many of you are asking. Not to throw anyone under the bus or anything but...
during my visit, David (the investment banker) made dinner for us one night using the Pantry kits, a seafood dish and soup. I'd never seen David cook before. The results were delicious. So if David can cook a wonderful meal using the kit......(sorry for throwing you under the bus Dave!)
If you are in the Brookline area in Boston, go visit Pantry and say hi to Amanda for me.

The players will go through their paces through until Tuesday. Full camp begins Thursday. The veterans will gather at Laval-sur-le-lac Monday for the annual golf tournament.
A number of players will grab their fare share of attention at rookie camp, including number 34, Michael McCarron, the team's first-round draft pick in 2013. McCarron is coming off a hot-and-cold season with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League.
Number 26, Jiri Sekac, was signed out of the Czech Republic as a free agent in January. He already has some substantial hockey mileage under his belt, having played with Prague of the KHL last season.
Catch McCarron and Sekac in action here from Saturday's on-ice session, along with number 56, Tom Bozon, and 75, Charles Hudon.
After gathering at Brossard yesterday for medicals and physical testing, Montreal Canadiens' rookies took to the ice at the Bell Sports Complex today. I took in this morning's session and provided a live stream, which you can see here:
Sorry, Tomas.
I'm not buying it.
And, I'm willing to bet, neither are you.
It was a travel day for the Canadiens, and prior to departure, a handful of Habs' players were made available to the media following last night's 1-0 overtime loss to the Bruins, which squared this series at two wins apiece. During player availability, Tomas Plekanec told Chris Johnston from Sportsnet, that the pressure is on the Bruins, heading into game five tomorrow night in Boston.
That comment by Plekanec is nothing more than a red herring. But apparently, some Habs' fans are biting.
I'm not sure why the Bruins are supposed to "destroy the Habs, " as suggested by @bouchardmo on Twitter. The fact of the matter is: not only have the Bruins "not destroyed" the Habs at any point during this series, the Bruins have yet to score a convincing win over the Canadiens. Sure, that was a mighty impressive come-from-behind win in game two. But have you seen the Bruins outplay the Canadiens over a 60-minute stretch?
Me neither.
Here's the deal: the pressure is on both teams heading into game five in Boston tomorrow night. Simple math will tell you that the winner will be one win away from taking this second-round series and the team that loses game five will be one win away from an early tee time.
It's as plain as the nose on my face.
Have you seen my face?
No? OK. Let's try this again. This best-seven-series, became a best-of-five series and is now a best-of-three series. The team that wins two of the next three games will move on to the Stanley Cup semi-finals. But not before it becomes a best-of-one series, in my humble opinion.
It's Stanley Cup Math 101, folks. And that's why the pressure is on the Montreal Canadiens to walk into the Garden and beat the Bruins. It's also why the Bruins need to get out there in front of their hometown fans, now that they have re-established home-ice advantage in this series, and beat the Montreal Canadiens.
The pressure is on. And it's on both teams.
Funny thing is (and I'm sure there weren't any Habs' fans laughing after last night's overtime loss), this series could be over. Right now. It could have been over in four straight — for both teams.
If the Habs finished off the Bruins in game two, and scored the winner in O.T. last night, this series would be over. However, had Boston scored the overtime winner in game one, and then mounted yet another successful comeback in game three (after doing just that in game two) this series would be over, and the Bruins would be the ones moving on.
But this series ISN'T over, and the team that wins tomorrow night will take a huge step in the direction of ending it.
THAT'S why the pressure is on BOTH teams.
Don't let Tomas Plekanec tell you any different.
That, and $3.25, will get you a cup of coffee.
On a night when the Canadiens could have taken a stranglehold 3-1 series lead on the Boston Bruins, they watched helplessly as the Bruins snuck one past Carey Price during a wild scramble in front of the Habs' netminder to eke (EEK!) out a 1-0 win and send this second-round series back to Boston all tied up at two.
This best-of-five is now a best-of-three. It could very well end up being a best-of-one.
The hero for the Bruins on this night was Matt Fraser, with the winning goal coming at 1:19 of overtime. Hardly enough time for the ice to dry after 60-minutes of scoreless hockey. Pretty heady stuff for a guy who was playing in Providence just 24 hours earlier before being called up by the Bruins.
This was a listless game for the better part of 60 minutes, although both teams did have their chances, particularly young Michael Bournival. Number 49 skated miles out there and got his licks in on Tuukka Rask, but was unable to beat the Boston goaltender, who was seeing the puck all night long. Bournival finished with four shots on goal; one back of Brian Gionta (who worked his ass off all night) and Andrei Markov. Lars Eller also put in a strong effort. However, it was the Gionta, Eller, Bourque line on the ice for the winning (losing) goal, along with Mike Weaver and Douglas Murray.
The Canadiens managed to put together their best period of hockey over the final 20 minutes, outshooting Boston 14-7 in the third. Carey Price? He was perfect through 60 minutes. But, in the end, it didn't matter one iota. The Bruins were the ones to "Get Lucky", with apologies to Daft Punk, much to the stunned amazement of everyone in the building.
Max Pacioretty? One shot on goal. I thought Dale Weise and his one shot on goal was a bigger offensive threat in this game than Pacioretty was.
Thomas Vanek? Zero shots on goal.
Daniel Briere? Not seeing much playoff magic from him these days, although it is rather difficult to produce much playoff magic when you see 8:02 seconds of ice time, as was the case in game four.
Matt Fraser??!?! Really?!?!?!

Michael McCarron (pictured) and Michael Bournival picked up two points apiece and were among the youngsters to raise eyebrows as the Canadiens took to the ice at the Bell Centre in their pre-season opener.
Bournival had a pair of goals and McCarron picked up two assists as the Habs fell 5-4 to the Buffalo Sabres in a shootout.
Bournival showed lots of ofensive spark out there and McCarron displayed some soft hands in setting up both Bournival and Martin St-Pierre. McCarron went hard along the boards to dish the puck out to Bournival for his first goal of the night. The Canadiens' top draft pick of this summer could also be found parked in the opposing crease; which is exactly where you want McCarron's 6-5 frame to be.
Two other players of note who impressed me up front were Martin Reway and Erik Nystrom: both showed plenty of finesse as skill players with speed. Nystrom also showed he has a little show biz in him with his stick-twirling goal-scoring celebration.
On defence, Greg Pateryn and Jarred Tinordi, both with some NHL experience under their collective belts after last season, aquitted themselves well. Peter Budaj and Zach Fucale split the goaltending duties: Budaj playing the first half of the game, Fucale — with his rather stark, generic, "no-frills" mask, finishing up and taking the team through the OT and shootout.
Brendan Gallagher, playing on a line with Alex Galchenyuk and Lars Eller, was in "mid-season form" (as we like to say) and took no prisoners, even though it was only a pre-season game. This kid simply doesn't have an "off switch."
This was a fairly entertaining, spirited hockey game: as pre-season games go, and as Habs-Sabres games go. Up next for the Canadiens: the Boston Bruins, who are in town Monday night.]]>
It's been a "crazy last day" for right winger Christian Thomas.
Thomas, who joins 55 other players for Montreal Canadiens development camp this week, was informed by his dad, former NHLer Steve Thomas, that the Habs had picked him up from the Rangers in a trade that sent Danny Kristo to New York.
"I woke up from a nap after a training day in New York," said Thomas "I had a phone call from my dad. He asked me if I had figured out that I had been traded. I had no clue what was going on. He told me I was traded to Montreal."
Thomas got the news yesterday at 5 p.m. At nine o'clock he was on a plane. And today he reported for duty at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard.
Steve Thomas had 10, 20-goal seasons under his belt when he called it a career in 2003-04. Does Christian see himself following in his father's footsteps?
Listen in as reporters spoke to Christian following this morning's dry-land session at Brossard.]]>
Thanks…but no thanks.
It was six years ago, almost to the day, that Bob Gainey went hard after Danny Briere: the summer of 2007. And I mean hard.
Briere was coming off a 95-point season with the Buffalo Sabres and was ready to write his own ticket. And he did.
A ticket that took him to Philadelphia after he rejected Gainey's overtures.
I remember thinking at the time: Jeez. How much money are you supposed to throw at the guy before he said "Yes."
Briere never said "yes"…not to the Montreal Canadiens, at least. And I thought to myself: see ya.
Gainey wasn't shy when it came to going after big-name talent: either through free agency or the trade route. However,
like he always said: it takes two to tango: either way. Briere preferred to tango with the Flyers, where he put up some fairly prolific number before the injury bug got the better of him. However, with two years left in his contract, the Flyers elected to by out the 35-year old: a move that will shave $6.5 million off their salary cap.
Briere figures he still has a year or two left of hockey in him as he looks ahead to life as an unrestricted free agent. Who am I to doubt the guy? I wish him nothing but the best.
He'd like to stay in the East for family reasons: and with two kids in school, who can blame him? But the Canadiens don't need Danny Briere any more than they "needed" Jaromir Jagr. And please. Don't tell me that even if Briere coasts through the regular season, you can count on him in the playoffs.
You think so?
I don't.
See ya.]]>
With the 25th pick overall, Bergevin recently said that the position leaves the team at the "back of the bus" when it comes to the opening round.
Mark Edwards, the founder and director of scouting for HockeyProspect.com joined me in the Locker Room tonight to assess whether or not Bergevin might attempt try to solidify his hand and make a move on draft day.
Join me in The Locker Room weekends, 6-7 pm, on CJAD800 Montreal.]]>
Montreal Canadiens' General Manager Marc Bergevin says the Canadiens are at "the back of the bus" as a result of where they sit heading into the NHL Entry Draft June 30 in New Jersey.
At least where the first round is concerned.
Bergevin took time out of today's news conference at the Bell Centre, held to announce Montreal's role in the 2015 and 2017 World Junior Hockey Championships, to look ahead to the entry draft.
"We're in a different position than we were in last year, when we had the third pick overall," said Bergevin.
"When you're at 25, you're sitting in the back of the bus. Obviously, we had a good year, which is why we're so far back. We're happy being there, but that said, you don't get the top players as when you have the third overall pick."
Is there any chance Bergevin will try to get a seat at the "front of the bus?"
"We always try to see if there are seats available," said the Habs' GM with a grin.
Bergevin went on to say that defenceman Alexei Emelin is rehabbing in Montreal and is still on schedule for a return from knee surgery sometime in December.
Listen in as Bergevin fielded questions from reporters about the NHL Entry Draft, and today's World Junior Hockey announcement, which will see Montreal and Toronto play joint hosts to the 2015 and 2017 championships, with the Bell Centre home to the medal round in 2017.]]>

I am happy when given the opportunity to praise our Archbishop. Congratulations, therefore, to the Archbishop for coming to Astoria this past Friday to bless the day school students of the Cathedral of St. Demetrios to mark the opening of the school year.
It is a blessing service that is important for the children, the Community, and the Church.
Our Church in America, from the arrival of our first priests in late 19th and early 20th Centuries – despite its turbulent early path, which lasted until the arrival of Archbishop Athenagoras in 1930 who served until 1948, when he was elected Patriarch – equated the future of the Church with the preservation of the Greek language .
It was the dawn of mass immigration from Greece. The priests were all born in Greece. Things were easy in that respect. But that was not the only thing that mattered .
The Church had an identity. It was the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. It knew what it was and what it wanted to be. With the passage of time and as result of changed demographics we have misplaced our compass.
Who is its flock; Where is the Church headed? In popular parlance, we would say, "What is its market? " It tries to please everyone, while satisfying no one in particular. This is not working. Its lacking of a strong identity has, among other things, a lot to do with it.
If we accept the view that it is, and wants to remain, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, then it must be understood that it must continue to promote and use the Greek language to some extent, and that means it must support the schools and everything related to the Hellenism of the Diaspora.
So when the Archbishop goes to bless a school, this is the message he broadcasts: that the Church cares about its Greek identity. This does not, of course, mean that the Church should ignore the needs of our people who don' t speak Greek. It should care and it must.
For this reason the violent reactions to the use of the English Language Iakovos tried to introduce during a Divine Liturgy at the 1972 Clergy Laity Congress in New York was wrong.
We cannot exclude the English language in a country where it is the native language and the language of many generations of our brothers and sisters.
You cannot deny our children the opportunity of taking part in the life of the Church. Just as you have to fight for change in other aspects relating to the Church. One of them is the issue of the mixed marriages and the ban on a priest blessing the marriage of a Greek with a Jew.
We have been deceiving ourselves and in so doing we are losing our children. Without gaining anything. Still, the Church has to have a strong identity. Without it, it will not reach its potential.

We headed to the Castlepalooza arts & music festival, which is held on the grounds of the 18th century Charleville Castle in Tullamore, county Offaly. It was our first time at Castlepalooza, which is a small boutique festival which plays alternative music/Indie and DJ sets. As it's small, everything was a short walk compared to some of the bigger festivals we have attended. The weather was mixed with some sunny spells and heavy showers, we managed to get the tent up and walk the short 10 minute walk over to the main stage without getting soaked so it didn't bother us.
Castlepalooza previously did not allow alcohol to be brought in, but this year for the first time you could, we brought some drink and drank in the campsite and had the craic with some of our neighbours before heading over to the stage. We also got to see some comedian's in the Vodafone comedy tent. During the festival, the castle is open for visitors and you can go in and get a tour.
Highlight: seeing the DJ with a fiddle @daithimusic
If you haven't already seen Daithí's video, which has an introduction by his grandmother Mary Keane and shows beautiful footage off the west coast of Ireland, showing World War II lookout posts, it's definitely worth a watch.

I watch Bill O'Reilly on FOX News from time to time. He's extraordinarily obnoxious, but so are some of the hosts on other national news outlets. And I certainly don't watch him to get the "news." It's more about trying to hear arguments and perspectives from a spectrum of vantage points. I can't usually keep him on for more than 10-15 minutes, again, due to his staggering obnoxiousness. And I've never once considered taking the time or space to write an article about his behavior. What would be the point? But this week, thanks to a tough reporter's conduct ― and O'Reilly's response to her toughness ― I've been given three reasons all wrapped up in a single word: "unruly."
If you missed it, O'Reilly sent out a tweet on Tuesday describing NBC anchor/reporter Andrea Mitchell as "unruly" at a State Department photo-op. Why "unruly?" His tweet included this additional headline from his website: "The NBC News host shouts question after question at Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, then seems proud as a peacock at her display."
Before we get into the reasons why O'Reilly's public announcement provides a trifecta of valuable lessons, let's take a closer look at what actually happened. In this video, you'll see U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appearing for cameras with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin. You'll hear Mitchell asking Secretary Tillerson about China's announcement that there would be consequences for U.S. deployment of anti-missile defenses in South Korea. You will then hear and see press aides moving in front of Mitchell, and repeatedly saying "thank you, thank you." Mitchell continues, asking: "Mr. Secretary, are you sure that the Trump administration will be strong against Vladimir Putin? Can you assure us that Russia will not move further into Ukraine?" The press aides continue to try to shuffle Mitchell out, as she voices seven words of protest: "We haven't had any time in here." Tillerson and Klimkin awkwardly smile during this 45-second, three-question clip. The Secretary, who was confirmed five weeks ago by the Senate, and has not taken questions from the press since, does not add any answers to his smiling.
Set aside politics and partisanship. It doesn't matter where one sits on the ideological spectrum in order to absorb three important lessons from O'Reilly's statements about Mitchell's reporting in this photo-op. All that you need is an open mind and common sense.
Lesson #1: It's sexist. It is sexism. Full stop. And "political correctness" has zero to do with this. Merriam-Webster defines sexism as: 1) prejudice or discrimination based on sex, especially: discrimination against women, 2) behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex.
This is what O'Reilly did. It's 2 + 2 = 4 stuff. Not complicated. If you're a super-nerd who watches presidential press briefings, you instantly know what I'm talking about. Or even press conferences that U.S. presidents give as they're traveling. Very frequently, after the president, or any elected official making public remarks, prepares to leave the press event, reporters will typically shout additional questions. Sometimes, the speaker will even move back to the gaggle of questioners, and answer the question. The press corps is composed of men and women. Males and females. Boys and girls.
You will NEVER hear O'Reilly call out any of these reporters for being "unruly." Even he knows that this is their job. He's done it himself. What Mitchell did was just harder, because she didn't have the protective shell of a large group of reporters lobbing extra questions at the same time, giving each other cover. And this is why the press aides trying to get rid of her were more bold than they usually are. So why did O'Reilly call Mitchell "unruly?" Would he have said that about FOX anchor Bret Baier? Bill Hemmer? Tucker Carlson? Sean Hannity? Color me skeptical. Make that doubtful. Make that certain. I've watched the news for a long time.
I don't have daughters. I'm not sure I've ever written about sexism before. But again, in this case, O'Reilly's obnoxiousness is a gift. It's such a clear cut case, you scarcely need to explain it. What he did was sexist, and it has been communicated to a collective audience of millions. And the lesson is very simple: Don't be sexist. Which leads us to...
Lesson #2: Hypocrisy. It's everywhere, in different forms and degrees, and we're all guilty of it on occasion. We're human beings. But when there are cases of hypocrisy committed by public voices who have enormous potential influence, they are particularly odious. And that's what we have here. Whether it was a man or woman O'Reilly was criticizing, the level of hypocrisy can scarcely be measured with existing technology. It's arguable whether Mitchell was "unruly" in the first place. Many would say she was trying to get questions answered, and was trying to be heard. Many would say that "unruly" is part of the job ― especially in the face of powers who are silent.
But for O'Reilly to call ANYONE "unruly" is beyond rich. For this broadcaster crossed that threshold a long time ago, and fully embraced behavior that is regularly rude and offensive. Just flip on his show sometime. He says interesting things sometimes, and he does challenge authority. But he's as rude as they come. To see just how rude, let's take a look at video showing two instances of the O'Reilly approach. The first is a classic of this news anchor yelling at his staff. The first time I saw it, I was torn between worrying the man was going to have a heart attack ― and laughing hilariously.
So we can see how he has treated the people who work for him. How about if he was interviewing the president of the United States? Would he respect either the person or the office in this kind of situation? We actually learned the answer to this question, six years ago on Super Bowl Sunday. O'Reilly was granted an interview with President Obama, and in the course of 10 minutes, he interrupted the commander-in-chief a total of 48 times.
Hypocrites are awful. Let's do as we say. Let's teach our kids to think before they make a decision or take an approach to treating others. O'Reilly insults a veteran journalist for asking three questions of the Secretary of State - in a setting that was set up for the press to attend. But O'Reilly's treatment of his guests, his staff and the president show you what's true about him. Hypocrite.
Lesson #3: Journalism is largely about asking hard questions in order to provide the checks on power that our country desperately needs. This is precisely why the freedom of the press is protected right up front in the Bill of Rights. On some level, O'Reilly knows this. Being a sexist hypocrite and being dumb aren't necessarily the same thing. The "check on power" thing is exactly how O'Reilly would justify his rude interruptions of the president.
No matter a person's politics, Andrea Mitchell's five-decade career in journalism makes her a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer. Not only because she's been doing it for that long, but because she works so damn hard to get to the truth and hold powerful people accountable. And that's what she was doing in that press avail with the Secretary of State.
Nearly 20 years ago, when I was a local news reporter at NBC in California's Central Valley, I remember the moment I realized the full power of television journalism. The governor at the time was Gray Davis, who'm I'd covered during the election campaign. Once elected, one of his press aides tried to negotiate questions with me prior to an interview about criminal justice I was scheduled to do with him. Of course, he got no questions. And when Davis sat down with me to do the interview - this time as governor and not as candidate - his nervousness was laid bare the minute the record light went on. It was palpable. The camera is an equalizer, and the best broadcast journalists use this power to hold power accountable.
Reporters understand that sometimes the news is in the question - not the answer. Because you don't always get an answer. The relationship is adversarial. Mitchell wasn't unruly. But even if she was, so what? If any presidential administration is going to put the Secy. of State in a photo-op - they should expect questions. And if the president of that administration has put a muzzle on the department head who's in front of the cameras, they should be prepared for that person to look dopey and/or phony if they refuse to answer questions. This is the "big leagues." It ain't Single-A ball.
One tweet. Two broadcasters. Three lessons. None of them are earth-shattering, but it's always good to take note of reminders.
It would be great to see O'Reilly at least publicly apologize to Mitchell. It's not likely, and I seriously doubt that she cares much - if at all - about receiving one. In her MSNBC show the following day, Mitchell signed off with the most equanimous slap-down one could imagine, saying with a smile: "And that does it for this 'unruly' edition of 'Andrea Mitchell Reports.'" More proof that the fairer sex is also the classier one. Is that sexist?

Payment Industry Acquirers are Becoming Issuers
Merchant Acquirers and Card Issuers have been concentrating on their specific niches in the payment sector until recently when some players decided to change their approach. The confluence of acquiring and issuing services is aimed towards achieving affordable pricing of merchant services and serving better the increasing number of startups.
As a result, acquirers are now selling payment hardware and services that you could previously find only through issuers. This is a chance to unlock more revenue streams and trigger the advancement of merchant service to boost their bottom line.
Why Acquirers are Issuing
Interchange is the main reason acquirers are making quick steps towards issuing. And though it may mean a cost to Acquirers, Interchange remains a revenue stream for Issuers. No wonder Acquirers are now eyeing the Interchange revenue created from Issuing products to earn more income and cut the cost of acceptance for merchants.
In the past, … Read more

David asked me to restart this thread. Old thread was here:
Hi Richie,
I'm seeing the same problem with the Powerpress plugin and BlogsMU Theme.
I exchanged some posts with the plugin author here:
The author suspected that the BlogsMU Theme may be using its own version of the jquery library?
If that is the case, he thought that using wp_enqueue_script('jquery'); and using the version of jQuery packaged in WordPress could fix the problem.
Does that sound like it might be the issue?

Salamanca in Central Spain is a little bit off the tourist route but well worth a visit.
It's pretty much a university town with architectural splendour and a lively party scene. (like everywhere else in Spain). Of course it has its fair share of restaurants. This is one is in Salamanca's main square, the Plaza mayor, a very grand baroque space built in the 18th century.

When I began planning for this two-week trip to Europe, I knew I wanted our journey to begin in Madrid, capital city of Spain. Back in 2010, I was a sophomore at the University of Puerto Rico, longing for a life changing adventure. I worked, I saved up, I busted my little toosh off studying, and I applied to my school's study abroad program with the Universidad Complutense de Madrid for a spot in their 2010 – 2011 student exchange program. I got in and my life after such experience would never be the same.
I went back to Madrid in 2015 for a short vacation, only to notice how little to nothing had changed. The University looked exactly as I'd left it, the apartment I used to live in, the streets, the sidewalks, and even the local spots we used to hang out at. Time passed, yet everything felt so familiar. I knew I wasn't the same girl who ventured on her own to a new country; I'd changed quite a great deal.
In short, living in Madrid completely redefined my perspective on life. For it being so dear and special to me, I knew I had to come back. But this time, it was different. This time, I was coming back with a person who is as special to me as the city itself (and maybe even more).

Madrid, Day 1
The Hostel
Upon my return to Madrid last year, I opted for the lodging option most budget travelers seek out – a hostel. My experience at one of Hostal Cruz Sol's private bedrooms was so incredible, I didn't think twice when booking it again this time around. The hostel's location is exceptionally centric, close to most sightseeing spots and nightlife. They offer free WiFi and your room gets cleaned on a daily basis. What else could you ask for?
On Being Tourists
On our first day out and about, we were starving. After an 8-hour flight, we landed at the Madrid Barajas International Airport around noon and were pretty much famished. Our local friends suggested we hit up a nice little restaurant with outdoor seating to enjoy the marvelous weather in Madrid.
La Mucca de Pez was the place, in the heart of el barrio Malasaña. Their menu is ever changing so I suggest checking out their Facebook page beforehand. Still, delicious food, ultra warm atmosphere, and cheap beers. Baby, I was sold!
After our bellies were filled, I was ready to give Terry the ultimate tour of Madrid, starting off at Plaza de España. The lovely square is propped up with a beautiful fountain and my favorite monument to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the greatest writer in Spanish literature; better known for writing The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (a.k.a. my favorite novel and the reason why I named my dog Quixote).
After strolling around the Plaza for a bit, we made our way to the Temple of Debod, an ancient Egyptian temple, dating from 2nd Century B.C., which the Egyptian government donated to Spain in 1968.
Story is, Spain greatly aided Egypt in the rescue of a series of monuments and archeological sites, which were in danger of getting destroyed due to the building of the Aswan Dam across the Nile River. As such, Egypt felt all warm and fuzzy and decided to send the Temple of Debod to Spain as a thank you gift. Score.
We roamed the Temple for a bit and headed over to the Palacio Real de Madrid or Madrid's Royal Palace. Hah! This is the official party place for the Spanish Royal Family, located right in front of the mesmerizing Plaza de Oriente square. The Palace also has a ridiculous garden setup, so feel free to buy a refreshing beverage and walk around the garden to enjoy its stunning landscaping. It costs around 11€ to do a full tour of the Palace and you can also stop by the Almudena Cathedral, which elegantly stands at the Palace's side; very much worth the visit!
By the time we were done with the Palace and its surroundings, our tummies were growling. Thankfully, we were a few minutes away from my favorite place in all Madrid, el Mercado de San Miguel. Easily Madrid's most beautiful market, el Mercado de San Miguel has all the tapas, wine, cheese, and prosciutto you could ever dream of. In summary, this gourmet tapas market hosts over 30 vendors, whose thirst-quenching drinks and succulent food will absolutely blow your mind.
Let's talk about food coma. Oh boy! Luckily enough, the Plaza Mayor and the Puerta del Sol were not too far away from the market. I really wanted to end the day with a nice little stroll through these lovely spaces, so it worked out perfectly!
The Plaza Mayor was built back in the day of Philip III's reign. Think early 1600's. It is Madrid's main square and you can always stop by for a decent glass of wine and some superb people watching. Most of the restaurants in the Plaza have outdoor seating, which is wonderful if you're in the mood for a delicious Spanish meal al fresco. Though the Puerta del Sol is one of the busiest places in the city, it's still quite a lovely scene. It hosts Km 0, the center of the radial network of all Spanish roads. Legend says if you step on it, you are destined to come back to this enchanting city. Trust me, ever since 2011 I've made sure to always step on Km 0 before leaving Madrid.
Madrid, Day 2
On Reminiscing About Being A Local
After going through most of Madrid's main tourist attractions (glad we got that out of the way!), I wanted to show Terry a bit more of the local scene in Madrid. We started our day with a solid Spanish breakfast at the Taberna El Papelón. What exactly did that imply?
- 2 orders of pan con tomate = toasts with a delicious tomato spread.
- 2 zumos de naranja = freshly made orange juice, squeezed right before your eyes. Bam!
- 1 surtido "La Jarta" = an assortment of Spanish meats and cheeses.
- 2 papelones de jamón ibérico = cured ham and manchego cheese sandwich.
Our breakfast was probably the saltiest meal Terry had ever tasted, but it was absolutely divine. Alas, we made our way to the Metro (probably the cleanest one I've witnessed in my lifetime) and continued our journey to my old neighborhood in Vallehermoso, Madrid.
As a student of the Complutense University of Madrid, I lived in a quiet residential neighborhood in the vicinity of our campus. Same observation I made back in 2015, nothing really changed; it all looked exactly as I'd left it back in the day.
We walked from my old apartment to the University and I couldn't help but to get all these flashbacks... The crazy nights, the wild parties, the friendships made, the lessons learned, the experiences gained, the night long laughs, the homesick cries; wouldn't have traded any of it for the world.
Natalia Solis, a good friend from college, invited us to the Mercado San Ildefonso in the barrio of Malasaña. This modern urban market is located in one of the trendiest barrios of Madrid and hosts several street food joints – totally worth the visit! There, we got a Nutella, strawberries, and oreo crepe, which completely satisfied our sugary cravings. Pure delight!
On our way back to our hostel, we stumbled upon the shop where I got my first tattoo in 2011, Tattoo Center. Yes, you can laugh. The name is the tackiest thing but you have to admit, they did a mighty fine job.
Time will tell, my very first and most favorite tattoo. Also, my life motto.
I got it a few weeks after I fully settled in as an exchange student and it meant the world to me. Still does! But back then I was beginning to understand some pretty major things. Most of these lessons surrounded the realm of life not exactly going your way and how you were going to react to it. A lot of times, you simply have to let go and let time do its thing. Easier said than done, I know, but I promise you'll get it right eventually.
That night, we went to a very touristy club and we absolutely loved it. Yes, Joy Eslava got turnt right around 2AM and we had a huge blast! The drinks were a bit pricey, obvs, but the music was right up our alley. Touristy or not, it was the best night we had in Madrid. Live dance show and everything.
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter where you are, where you've been, or what you've been doing or not doing. All that matters is, who you're with and how much you're growing together, supporting each other, and enjoying each other's company while you're at it, regardless of whatever it is you're up to.
That's it for now. Though I'm not done with Madrid just yet! Part two of our Madrid travel diary is coming up next week, so hold on tight to your knickers because I still have a whole lot to tell ya!

Here is a link to the police reports. http://cnninsession.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/martinpolicreport.pdf
Of note, Martin's body was between two houses. I view this key in Zimmerman's case. Zimmerman stated he exited his vehicle to determine a street sign (perhaps house #). However, the location of Martin's body puts this statement into great question in my view.
The location leads me to believe Martin was the one acting in self-defense against a pursuer. But I don't truly have enough detail to make any judgment beyond "this needs to go to trial and be judiciously determined". WEER'D postulates a series of events in which Martin is the attacker. This could be true as well, in which case Zimmerman would have acted in self-defense.
The crux of the issue is that enough questions in this case have arisen so that it is not a clear cut case of self-defense. My feeling is that self-defense should de facto unless there is a reasonable doubt. And in this case, I believe there is a reasonable doubt.
If Zimmerman is innocent, I hope he can prove so. But at the same time, I think he was negligent in his actions. And in so being, has created a mess for the rest of our community and left a young man dead.
UPDATE: Commentor on WEER'D WORLD links to article substantiating Zimmerman's role as a neighborhood watch captain. This does aid Zimmerman's case. And does show how much mis-information is out there regarding this case. We can make assumptions, but the only real judgment is that this needs a judicial review.

An evolutionary architecture supports guided, incremental change across multiple dimensions.
our definition
In 2010, Jez Humble and Dave Farley released Continuous Delivery, a collection of practices to enhance the engineering efficiency in software projects. They provided the mechanism for building and releasing software via automation and tools but not the structure of how to design evolvable software. Evolutionary architecture assumes these engineering practices as prerequisites but addresses how to utilize them to help design evolvable software.
Our definition of evolutionary architecture implies incremental change, meaning the architecture should facilitate change in small increments. This chapter describes architectures that support incremental change along with some of the engineering practices used to achieve incremental change, an important building block of evolutionary architecture. We discuss two aspects of incremental change: development, which covers how developers build software, and operational, which covers how teams deploy software.
Here is an example of the operational side of incremental change. We start with the fleshed out example of incremental change from Chapter 1, which includes additional details about the architecture and deployment environment. PenultimateWidgets, our seller of widgets, has a catalog page backed by a microservice architecture and engineering practices, as illustrated in Figure 3-1.
