For Agile Development
When managing Agile development, you answer to many people: Product managers, internal departments and, most of all, customers. Your job is to deliver timely and reliable software releases that will greatly affect your customers' businesses as well as your colleagues' day-to-day activities.
Peter van der Vlugt
Chief Technical Officer, Kverneland Group
Clarizen fuels these high performance teams:View all customers
Clarizen's Agile project management software helps your entire department work more efficiently and effectively, with better results – and lower costs.
It centralizes all of your release plans, release backlog (RBL) data and user stories, task updates, bugs, documents and communications into one developer workflow tool, helping you to:
- Deliver releases of all sizes, from new products and major enhancements to quick bug fixes, efficiently and with unprecedented speed
- Track and prioritize incoming tickets from internal and external customers, and schedule them for iterations based on urgency
- Manage reports and content requests from product managers, so you can deliver on your company's vision and your customer's requests with a cost-optimized process
With Clarizen, you get:
Support for all methodologies
Clarizen's open and flexible architecture can interface with all project management methodologies within your organization, enabling employees to collaborate on items even if they're using different methodologies, such as waterfall and SCRUM project management.
Agile project management software users simply install the appropriate app from the Clarizen Apps Marketplace and continue to work in their familiar methodology. Then, when they need input from other people, Clarizen automatically translates it into the recipient's methodology. The result is seamless collaboration across your company.
Real-time visibility into release backlogs
Clarizen provides release managers with real-time visibility into the release's readiness, including up-to-the-minute status on all of the milestones (i.e. iterations and user stories), as well as track activities of the development team. Clarizen centralizes all of the data and activities entered by developers, and automatically correlates it back to the complete feature list of the release.
Clarizen also integrates with Source Control systems such as Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) through its open API, enabling developers to push new tasks via Clarizen to TFS. As the developer updates progress in the source control system, it's pushed back to Clarizen.
Full configurability
Clarizen agile project management is designed to work the way you do, not the other way around. It offers fully configurable workflows, business rules and approval processes, as well as custom actions and fields. We don't force you and your colleagues to reinvent the way you work, so the user adoption rate is high.
Accurate target release dates
Clarizen offers a full suite of planning, resource load, task updates, scheduling conflicts and milestone progress tools. It also automates work capacity and work velocity calculations, enabling release managers to assess how long each iteration in a RBL will take, and to accurately set a target release date for the overall RBL.
More time to code!
Agile recommends that its developers host a daily meeting, typically in the morning, to help its users check in with one another. In many organizations, these new Agile meetings are added without eliminating any of the traditional status meetings. As a result, teams spend more time updating release stakeholders, not less.
With Clarizen, progress is reported in real time, so developers spend less time updating stakeholders, and more time making decisions based on status.
Anytime, anywhere access
With Clarizen's patented InterAct email collaboration tool, the social news feed and mobile applications, you can create new tasks and assign resources, update status, participate in social conversations, open new tickets and generate a host of activities, no matter where you are.
ResourcesBrowse all resources
Key product features for Agile Developers
Burndown Chart
Designed for Agile developers, the online project management burndown chart helps you accurately predict the success of a project and displays the planned versus actual progress. The burndown chart feature is a graphical representation of remaining effort over time that can be viewed by iteration or by release project.
Resource Management
Gain real-time insight into your available resources and their current workloads. See at a glance the projects and tasks each team member is working on, and shuffle things around as appropriate with a few mouse clicks. Review the impact to your teams' resource load by including or excluding projects, thereby allowing you to plan the impact of future projects. Team members get automatic updates whenever changes are made that affect them, and, with centralized communications, they won't have any trouble getting a clear picture of what's going on and where things stand.
Team Board App
Designed for Agile developers, Clarizen's Team Board App provides an elegant drag-and-drop interface to support your daily standups. Downloadable from our Apps Marketplace, this free feature decreases the time spent in planning sessions, and increases productivity by providing your team with actionable data and a one-stop shop for collaboration.
Change Request & Case Management
Track and manage all change requests or cases you receive. With Clarizen's work management solution, requests automatically include relevant details, such as the name of the person or customer who requested the change, description, priority and timeframe, as well as all pertinent discussion posts and attachments. Make informed decisions about priorities, resources and timelines, all thanks to Clarizen's real-time social collaboration platform. This gives you full transparency into the complete lifecycle and all conversations, approvals, files and related work to that change request or case.
Document Management
Manage all your files in one central location with links to relevant tasks, discussions, projects, and more. Collaborate with team members and external users and annotate documents – all within a single tool. Clarizen's work management solution also integrates with tools like Box, Google Docs and ProofHQ to support your organization's document management and workflow strategies. Using our patented InterAct engine, collaborate with team members reviewing files, and even download the files directly from emails.
Clarizen online project management integrates with the tools your organization uses most, including Salesforce.com, Box, Intacct, QuickBooks, Jira, SharePoint, Google Docs, ProofHQ and more. Additionally, Clarizen offers a host of applications you can install from the Apps Marketplace with just one click. Clarizen also offers a full suite of APIs, so you can integrate it with any solution you use.
Email Collaboration with Clarizen InterAct
No more digging through email to find relevant information! The powerful, patented InterAct tool makes it super easy for team members to tie email communications directly to tasks and projects, so they can keep up with issues and discussions wherever they are. With Clarizen InterAct, team members can create issues, update status and participate in discussions, all within their email.
Social Collaboration
Clarizen redefines collaboration for the enterprise by connecting unstructured conversations to structured work. This eliminates silos of information in personal email boxes, Word documents of meeting minutes, offline phone calls and notes, and ties those conversations to the work. Clarizen enables employees to collaboratively innovate and get the information they need to get work done. As a result, people learn, they generate and act on new ideas, and they are better equipped for success. Team members can use discussions to link relevant items to each other, essentially creating 3-D conversations around projects, tasks, files, and all work objects.
Task Management
Clarizen cloud-based project management helps employees stay on top of their tasks, prioritize them and collaborate to gain the context they need to get them done right the first time. The system centralizes all project- and non-project-related tasks in the users' workspaces, preventing important tasks from falling through the cracks.
Project managers can monitor the status of all tasks and work items for their projects, and re-assign or add resources as appropriate to ensure due dates are met.
Ticket & Case Management
Track, assign and manage all cases you receive such as help desk tickets, marketing change requests and more. All tickets automatically contain the user's name, description, priority and timeframe, along with all relevant discussions and attachments that are part of the resolution process. Automatic notifications inform the user on progress, questions and completion status. Tickets can be created by anyone internal or external to your organization via email or HTML forms.
Timesheet Tracking
Track all billable and non-billable hours your team members and outside consultants spend on each project or change request. Clarizen online project management automatically associates the hours to the appropriate work item or project, and populates them with the correct billing rates for the resource level, task and work item.
Internal & External Collaboration
Clarizen supports you from idea creation to execution by fostering seamless collaboration between team members, customers and third-party consultants. Clarizen provides context around your work through rich discussion groups at every level – files, tasks, projects and more. You can even have independent discussion groups for brainstorming and updates, reducing the need for tedious status meetings.
You can collaborate directly in Clarizen or via email, and give everyone real-time updates with easily shareable widgets, like roadmaps, graphs and projects.
Mobile Connectivity
Clarizen's mobile platform mirrors the full functionality of the company's award-winning web application, creating a seamless, consistent user experience between devices. Clarizen connects mobile functionality – like the camera and phone – with enterprise work collaboration, so team members can get their work done, whether they're in the office, at the airport or just about anywhere.
For example, they can start a project in the desktop app and complete it on an iPhone and vice versa, photograph receipts and submit expenses, and even call or text colleagues. Enable your team to respond to client questions and project issues, participate in discussions, enter tickets and update anything in the system, including any attachments they might need to get the job done.
Clarizen offers a full suite of APIs, letting you integrate it with any solution you use, including your source control systems, as well as desktop and custom tools. Integrations include TFS, TestStuff and Jira.
Additionally, Clarizen offers APIs for a wide range of other applications your company may use, enabling you to expand the functionality of those systems quickly and easily. For instance, using our API for Salesforce.com, Clarizen offers full Salesforce integration project management.
Reports & Dashboards
The Reports and Dashboards module enables you to quickly make accurate business decisions and rapidly take action by delivering enterprise-grade performance insights. From project managers to executives, anyone can review real-time data online, as well as share dashboards with any internal or external stakeholders using the live link.
Report on any Clarizen object, from projects, tasks, timesheets, discussion posts and more. Gain a 360° view of your business, by pivoting data in multiple ways, displaying it in a multitude of charts including advanced cluster and stacking options, and highlighting key business metrics and questions. Like every other item in Clarizen, collaborate around the reports and dashboards, so that all reviewers and interested parties can share insights about the report or dashboard in context, and immediately take action.
Download Clarizen's Excel Add-in from our Apps Marketplace to export data for even more analytical flexibility.
Clarizen Panels
Visualize any data – via panel or page – whether internal or external to Clarizen. Create any Clarizen view or Custom Page at an organizational level, similar to any other module in Clarizen. As a platform from which you can access all mission-critical work, Clarizen allows you to create panels that show KPIs for portfolios and projects or access external charting tools to create and share project-related charts.

Jet was still walking when first Daniel, then the katana-man, ran past him. "Whoa, where ya goin'?" he called after them.
Beep beep.
A message screen popped up.
New message!
Jet, I know you're still alive, and I know you got my last message about the guild. If you don't say something, I'm gonna come after you and get an answer.
Jet sighed, closing the message. He checked his inventory briefly, confirming that he still had his three escape crystals. The dagger he'd gotten from the Golem was still there, as well.
Maybe I'm just not able to use it yet,
Jet thought, closing the screen. He then ran after the others with his Speed, shortly coming up on the whole group, to which the katana-man was saying, "-- is a tad weak but is full of helpful advice and she has given me a quest to take her to floor 100 and win the game, then I may go back to floor one and resume my playing!"
"Quest?" Jet asked, coming up behind the katana-man and girl. "I thought only NPCs gave quests, and--" He stopped mid-sentence when his eyes found the large door. Jet walked around the others to step a few paces closer, confirming that the symbol was a rough resemblance of the Golem. Bringing up his own map, he raised his eyebrows. Now that he'd come here, the map was updated a little, showing... "Why would the boss room still be here?" Jet asked, to no one in particular. "Not thinking of goin' in, are ya?"

EDMOND — An Edmond doctor has been arrested after six women claimed to police he had sexually assaulted and harassed them while working together at his clinic.
Dr. Medhat Michael, 52, Oklahoma City, turned himself in at the Oklahoma County jail Friday in response to a warrant alleging four complaints of sexual battery.
He was released on $40,000 bail.
Both employees and former employees accused Michael of making inappropriate comments and kissing and touching them while working at the Best Care Medical Center, 1265 E 33rd St.
Michael told The Oklahoman the allegations are baseless and false.
"Anyone can make any allegation against anyone," Michael said.
Investigators think other employees or patients also may be victims of abuse.
"It looks like his actions are those of a sexual predator, so we are asking other victims to come forward," said Glynda Chu, police spokeswoman.
The women began reporting sexual abuse in late October.
An arrest warrant for Michael was obtained Thursday after information was taken to the district attorney.
No charges have been filed.
The women range in age of 21 and 38.
One said she was harassed by Michael in 2008.
Police said the women reported being touched and grabbed in various places on their bodies while being told things that were not professional, reports show.
One said he also would bark like a dog and howl at her, and she had told him at least four times to stop his behavior.
A woman said the doctor would ask her if she loved him and he told her he loved her.
He talked about her figure and wanted to know what she looked like underneath her clothing, the report stated.

Kevin Beacham on Get Out to Vote and when politics meet hip-hop
Kevin Beacham
This Sunday is the Keith Ellison-sponsored Get Out to Vote concert at First Avenue. The incumbent Representative of Minnesota's Fifth-Congressional District has put together quite the bill, including performances from Brother Ali, Slug, Dessa as well as a DJ set from noted hip-hop historian and Redefinition Radio host Kevin Beacham. We spoke to Beacham about his thoughts on when politics and hip-hop collide, as well as what he has planned for this weekend.

Keith Ellison books #GetOutToVoteMN rap concert at First Avenue
What was the first rap song with a political message you remember hearing?
I think there's a fine line in what's "political." People say "political hip-hop," but I think there's a lot more hip-hop that's about community and conditions, which has political effects. I know this one wasn't the first, but the one that caught my attention was Melle Mel's "Beat Street" theme song. In the last verse he talks about "lost in space... the president just forgot about Earth," he compares Reagan to Hitler and Mussolini. That was the first time I really noticed it. He even says in there "don't be a slave to your computer."
Which artists have resonated with you in the sub-genre of "politically themed" hip-hop?
The ones who did it right, I loved. Public Enemy, KRS-ONE, the Coup later on. I love their lyrics. My thing is, the popularity of those groups spawned a whole lot of other groups who had the idea of being "conscious" or "political" as it was becoming a trend, who weren't skillful in their approach. Even early on, there were politically themed rap songs, but there were more novelty songs from people who weren't even rappers. They were guys in their 30s making a rap record because rap was hip. In the '90s that resurged, people in the '90s who weren't particularly rappers were using rap to give political messages. It has its purpose, but for me, I'm a lyric person, so if the writing wasn't skillful I'd say "give me a speech, not a rap."
But, there were a lot of groups like Poor Righteous Teachers, X-Clan, Brand Nubian, who were skillful in speaking politically who were great that I was a huge fan of. But, for the actual politics they were speaking about, I didn't research beyond that. They were so good at rapping, I was like "that was dope."
So, at the time, a right-wing Poor Righteous Teachers would have been as dope as a left-wing Poor Righteous Teachers?
Yeah, Poor Righteous Teachers had a message in their music, but they could rhyme about anything else and it would be dope. No matter what the topic was, it was gonna be great.
What makes for the type of political rap song that you would want to hear?
I like Boots Riley of the Coup because he speaks on issues, but he also speaks on his ideas of solutions. I want someone that can do it well, challenge it, and say what you could do different. Political songs have to have both, you can't just be critical.
How did you get involved in the concert this weekend?
We get into a lot of political discussions at the Rhymesayers office, and these things are important to us. Over the years, we've tried to be involved in the community in general and in what's good for the community. I don't know how it came up directly, but we've worked with Ellison in the past and it came [together] naturally. I definitely wanted to be involved in it and asked what could I do, and they said "be a DJ." It was a last minute addition, but I definitely wanted to be involved.
Is your approach for choosing which songs to play for an event like this very different?
The approach? No. The song selection? Yes. I'm a mad scientist, and when I play, I always think about my crowd as much as possible. For something like this, I know who my crowd is, so I plan to coordinate, that's something I always do. I'm very theme-based in general. It's funny, it's harder than I thought it was going to be. I thought I would have way too much, but it's actually a little more limiting than I thought it was going to be.
Kevin Beacham spins at the Get Out the Vote concert with Brother Ali, Slug, Dessa, Sims I Self Devine, Los Nativos, Mally, Face the Vote, Green Team, and Plain Ole Bill, hosted by Keith Ellison for Congress.

7 New Year's Resolutions For the Whole FamilyBrian Gresko
My brother works two jobs: one at a brewpub and one at an organic produce market. "It's amazing," he told me over the phone today. "Right now, the bar's packed. But after New Year's Eve, the bar will be empty and the grocery store crowded, as everyone starts trying to eat healthier."
That's right — it's resolution time again, people! Hang up a new calendar and start making promises to be a better, kinder, healthier, more productive, less stressed person.
I've never been a big resolution maker. Set your expectations low, I used to think. Why start the year off worrying about hitting the mark? I'm fine the way I am!
Kidding. Actually, I often wonder how I can be a better Brian. And so I've begun using the New Year as an opportunity for self-reflection, making a short list of goals for the coming year. This year, the whole family is getting in on it, with the goal of making 2014 the best one yet! It looks like it's going to be a big year: Felix will be turning five, my book When I First Held You comes out in May, and my wife hopes to continue holding onto her sanity as she lives with two big personality guys who both want her full attention.
Here are 7 resolutions our family is making for 2014.
I hereby resolve… 1 of 8
Click on for resolutions that the whole family can make for a better 2014!
Get Outside More! 2 of 8
Afternoons, Felix and I talk about going outside, but we don't always do it. There's chores to finish or games to play, and of course there's the whining — always the whining — about putting on jacket and gloves, or where are we going to go, and when is mommy going to be home? But when we get outside, either just the two of us, or as a whole family, we have a fantastic time. Fresh air does the spirit good! And so in 2014, we resolve to go outside more often.
No Over-Reacting 3 of 8
If there's a last-minute change of plans, Felix is sure to get upset, which is likely to make me or my wife angry, and next thing you know we're all yelling, whining, crying, gnashing our teeth, or banging our heads against the wall — or each other! In 2014, we resolve to take it down a notch and not over-react quite so much. Instead, we'll take a deep breath and try to talk out our problems.
Less Social Media, More Socializing 4 of 8
My son is on Twitter all the time! And half the time he's tweeting about the cute things that I say. Wait a minute, that's me. Alright, so I admit, I'm the only one in the family with this problem. In 2014, I resolve to cut back on my facebook time, in favor of more face time. (And no, I don't mean the Apple app.) Also, I would like to try calling people on the phone instead of just sending them texts or writing on their wall, especially on birthdays and the like. I rely on the Internet for too much communicating, and would rather rely more on my actual voice.
Be Nicer to One Another 5 of 8
Felix received a letter from Santa asking that he treat his parents, teachers, and friends with more compassion. Well, the same goes for my wife and me. We want to treat one another with kindness — no snapping or snarky remarks, no allowing our frustrations to get in the way of our relationship. Instead...
Talk It Out 6 of 8
Say what you're feeling in a clear, direct way. "My feelings are hurt." "I feel angry." "I'm nervous." "I would rather not do that..." etc. Too frequently, we bite our lips and hold our tongues and fail to share what's on our mind. And next thing you know, someone is freaking out, rolling around on the floor kicking and screaming! I'm talking about Felix, here, not me. Though believe me, sometimes I get pretty close to tantrum.
Less Screens, More Books 7 of 8
It's so easy to put the television on for an hour so that I can get some work done around the house or on the computer, but really, Felix could be doing any number of things instead of watching a screen. First and foremost: paging through a book. After dinner, at night, I could be doing the same. I usually watch about thirty to sixty minutes of television a day, which is time I could be using to read, or catch up with people.
Be More Active! 8 of 8
Bike ride, run, kick a ball around, do yoga, dance we all want to get more energy out and use our bodies more often! It helps all of us sleep better, and relate better. Sometimes, we just get too pent up, and have to move, *he types while reclining on the couch.* Seriously, in 2014 we are going to get back into the ole' swing of things when it comes to exercise.

Today's wrap up on Prophecy headline news places us firmly in the end of days. We see the continued Rise of Islamic Jihad as America helps with Arms to Syrian Terrorists with TOW missiles. The Coming Christian and Muslim Antichrist war, with Israel's right to exist in the middle of the conflict. In America the USDA arms itself for American Civil war while congress looks as the policy of Authorization of Use of Military Force. Today we are hot and moving forward as the world and nations "Learn war" and move forward to the prophesied end of all things. This is the summary and then there is the rest of the story.

Officials recently approved a motion to get a cost estimate on the salvage value of Escanaba's power plant. It's a way to assist in the negotiation process to keep the plant operating.
Richmond-based Recast Energy is interested in buying the plant and converting it to a woody biomass plant.
According to electric superintendent, Mike Furmanski, they've also received a letter of interest from American Wind and Energy Group, as well as a local company, Escanaba Green Energy. The companies are being equally considered at this point. The next round of proposals is due February 24.
They'll then be given a ranking of who the city prefers to negotiate with.
"You know, we're in the neighborhood of $3.5, $4 million a year that we're losing on the plant," Furmanski said. "Overall, we're budgeted to lose $1.7 million."
The plant was shut down December 22, but came back online January 23.

Best Male Athlete (2013)
Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
Year in and year out, Larry Fitzgerald's labeled the best wide receiver in pro football. But he's really been the best wide receiver in the National Football League with nobody to throw the ball to him. Well, not nobody, but the list of dismal quarterbacks since Kurt Warner's retirement is stifling. Can anyone say Kevin Kolb? (Don't worry, nobody can — the last name's pronounced Cobb.) The Cardinals paid a lot of money for this dud, only to have to give up on the dream that the former Philadelphia Eagles starter (briefly) could take the Cardinals to the promised land.
But, hey, now there's hope: In the off-season, the team signed Carson Palmer, who had good years with the Cincinnati Bengals, and before that, the University of Southern California. Sure, he played for the Oakland Raiders last year and didn't impress. Nobody does with the horrible Raiders. But we think he's just the medicine that Larry Fitzgerald needs to return to the dominance he showed when Warner was slinging passes to him. (Full disclosure: We said nearly the same thing a couple of years ago about Kolb — but Palmer's a proven commodity who hasn't spent his pro career on injured reserve).
Okay, let's forget about last year's disastrous Cards season and quote stats from Fitz's glory years: In the post-season leading up to the Cardinals berth in the 2008 Super Bowl, he had a record-breaking 30 receptions for 544 yards. The lanky former Minnesota Vikings ballboy (his dad was a sportswriter for the local daily) and perennial Pro Bowl selection can do it all, especially jump way above defenders and pull down passes in double-coverage. And when he's not doing that, he's got a passel of defenders devoted to him, and the other guys get hit for big plays. Pray we're right this time, and he and Palmer take the team to greatness.

The Pyramid Scheme, Grand Rapids, MI
18 years and over
"…delicate, finger-picked banjos, aching, oaky violin and the haunting voice of frontman Matthew Milia, who conjures what might happen had Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum been raised in a log cabin. Their songs are full of rich, rural details: frozen lakes, swaying trees, highway lights glowing in the deep night. Add to the mix baleful brass and trembling percussion, and you've got the perfect recipe for Gothic Americana." – Rolling Stone

It's easiest to just use your existing file as-is and print it to the largest possible size within the required size restrictions. (Use the Poster Size Calculator to see what your options are.) However, if you must change the proportion of your PowerPoint page so it can be printed to a specific required poster size, use our Page Size Converter to help figure out what new page size to make your file.
If you need a size other than our set sizes, order your poster online, & choose the next size larger to what you need. Also specify what size the final poster should be in the special printing instructions box when you add it to your cart. If your file doesn't fit any specific size, we will scale it proportionately to the nearest fixed size.
We will rotate your poster so that it prints the proper orientation (Portrait or Landscape) on the paper, according to how your file was created. If you order 36" by 60" and your PowerPoint file is "wide", we will make your poster "wide" (landscape). If your PowerPoint page is "tall", we'll print your poster "tall" (portrait).

It is not uncommon for coastal communities to experience cloudy weather during summer months, and raging wildfires are far from unusual, but this summer there could be more of both if Alaska sees the El Nino forecast Thursday by the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center.
El Nino is caused by a "significant increase in water temperature in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, which is the area between the dateline and Ecuador," according to the National Weather Service. And currently the temperature trend in the vast Pacific Ocean, along the equator, is suspected to be the cause of weather patterns that could fuel more fires, warmer temperatures or cloudy weather by midsummer.
"One of the big things that happens during a serious fire year is you will get low pressure systems that transport moisture to the inland (and) Southcentral that can fuel thunderstorms," said Rick Thoman, the director of Climate Science and Services for Alaska. "And it could end up being a cloudy summer because there is that moisture." He added that thunder and lightning is a typical wildfire culprit.
But Norm McDonald, a fire management officer with the Division of Forestry, said only 10 percent of forest fires are actually started by Mother Nature; the remaining 90 percent are caused by humans.
And despite the El Nino predictions, fire officials across the Last Frontier aren't abnormally concerned. Representatives from the Alaska Fire Service and Alaska Division of Forestry say they are preparing for fire season like any other year because predictions aren't always correct.
"Sometimes when they tell us one thing the opposite happens," said Alaska Fire Service's Public Affairs Officer Mel Slater. "Fire seasons are different from year to year, and indicators won't tell you what is going to happen. So we prepare for fighting fires no matter what the cause may be."
Already this year 72 fires have ignited statewide and as of Thursday had burned 145.2 acres. A decade ago, in one of the worst years on record, 6.59 million acres went up in flames statewide. According to Thoman, the 2004 El Nino year was one "we all want to forget."
The last El Nino was in 2009; the Climate Prediction Center claims there is a 65 percent chance of an El Nino developing during summer months.

A better view of an emperor's palace than in Beijing but also much smaller. Many steps to climb to get to the top but a nice view once there. There was a flower festival when I visited which made a nice added touch. Look for the model of the original grounds and the wax figures tucked to the side showing...
Kiafeng was the capital of six dynasties in the past , second only to Xi'an. It has many ancient sites and stories awaiting foreign tourists to explore.
Dragon Pavillion Park was built on an ancient site where past emperors lived and conducted its official meetings more than a thousand years ago.
This park is very huge , with typical Chinese...
Dragon Pavilion Park, as whole Kaifeng, is beautiful. You can find there everything: a lake, historical buildings, green areas. Really worth visiting.
It's a big and good-looking park in the middle of town. Lots of people taking pictures in front of the park entrance. You could save the 60 or 70 rmb fee by walking along the outside of the park to get an idea of it but you wont be able to climb up to the tallest building for a view....
try to find old story here in my trip in nov,and it is a little pity that
almost the buliding are restored recently,except the main buliding in centre of the park.But what a lovely surprise is that the festival
of chrysanthemum.a lot of colors and styles really open my eyes.
Normally, you don't really need to go into this park as you can walk around the lake on the outside for free. But if you can make it to Kaifeng in October, then do not miss the Chrysanthemum festival, the most spectacular flower show we have seen anywhere in the world. Try to avoid the weekend, but if that's your...
it is a nice scenery. and there is easy walk, all the complex was built by two lakes. it is about 250 years old which is a visiting palace of Qing dynasty
Long Ting is an OK park with a half-decent reconstruction of a royal palace building. The view from the top of the Dragon Pavilion is quite good, but what you see is the new town buildings and the two or three reconstruction amusement parks that fill this area. There is nothing authentic here, but you get a basic idea of...
I was there during the Chrysanthemum flowers festival. There was flowers evrywhere. It was crowded but truly beautiful.
The view on the top of the Dragon Pavillon is really nice.
On a free day from work at Zhenghzou drove about 80 km to see the Dragon Pavilion Park (Long Ting) a wonderful experience. Good walk way dividing bad lake and good lake that was told by the guide. Climbed 72 steps to reach top and had great view of Kaifenf City. Lake view was nice. Did boating too but in...

FMLN Reflections, 20 Years Later: An Interview with Nidia Díaz
Portillo-Gonzales, Esther, NACLA Report on the Americas
ON JANUARY 10, 1981, THE FARABUNDO MARTI NAtional Liberation Front (FMLN) launched its first offensive, occupying large sections of El Salvador's departments of Morazán and Chalatenango. The same month, María Marta Valladares, also known as Nidia Díaz, became a commander of the guerrilla force. During the 12-year civil war, Diaz became internationally known as one of the FMLN's most exceptional leaders. On April 18, 1985, she was captured, imprisoned, and tortured by the Salvadoran army. Six months later, at the peak of the civil war, she was released in exchange for President José Napoleón Duarte's daughter, Inés.
Díaz continued to be part of the FMLN through January 1992, when she was one of the signers of the Chapultepec Peace Accords, which ended the country's civil war and transformed the FMLN into a political party On January 16, Salvadorans celebrated the 20th anniversary of the accords. In a historic event in Morazán, President Mauricio Funes, of the FMLN party, commemorated the date by officially apologizing for the violence carried out by the Salvadoran military during the country's civil war. In light of the 20th anniversary of the Peace Accords, NACLA interviewed Diaz, currently the secretary of international relations for the FMLN. The interview took place in San Salvador on February 5, just over a month before El Salvador's March 1 1 legislative elections.
Could you talk about the FMLN and El Salvador since the 1992 peace accords?
Today we are in a 20-year process of democratization as a result of the Peace Accords that ended the military dictatorship. This made it possible to establish political freedoms and the right to organize, to participate in politics, to have an opinion, and to mobilize without the threat of repression. We have more possibilities and access to further organize politically.
At the end of 1992, the FMLN had the opportunity to become a political party. We have participated in several elections where we have an intimate relationship with the social sectors because in the 1980s the military factor was the common language of the political struggle. That has changed. Politics is no longer waged through bullets but through political, social, and legislative struggle.
At an event early this morning, we paid homage to Farabundo Marti, who was killed 80 years ago on February 1. They executed him along with [student leaders] Alonso Luna and Mario Zapata. Together with workers and peasants, Marti had led an indigenous democratic uprising in the west of the country on January 22, 1932, in a desperate attempt to demand that the government resolve the economic and social problems in the country. Instead, the dictatorship lasted for 60 years.
The Peace Accords we signed 20 years ago were aimed at exactly this: dismantling the leftover military dictatorship that the powerful oligarchy had opted for 80 years before, with the sole purpose of trying to destroy the popular movement. Instead of democratizing the country they chose dictatorship. And it took a tremendous struggle for us to finally dismantle this dictatorship after 60 years.
Today we continue to struggle to ever more deeply democratize the country, because these problems are resolved with more democracy. Two and a half years ago we finally achieved a great victory when we defeated the oligarchy in the 2009 elections. It has been a great challenge and an opportunity to participate in public policy from the presidency, and it has only been two and a half years.
We will hold legislative and municipal elections on March 11, and our great challenge is to remain the strongest political force in the country and to increase the number of public officials in the Legislative Assembly in order to continue making changes. We want to hold on to the mayor's offices we have now, grow elsewhere, and take back San Salvador. We are in the final stages, but we see it as part of the people's struggle to continue every day to better meet our objectives in order to - as [the former FMLN leader] Schafik Handal called it - live in "a place worth living in. …
