I recently went and watched an outstanding movie. It is called “Miracles from Heaven” and it start Jennifer Garner and a wonderful cast that includes Eugenio Derbez. It is a beautiful movie based on the true story of a little girl from Texas who was miraculously healed of a deadly condition she had with her intestines. Eugenio Derbez did a great job as the Mexican physician who was treating the young girl. Eugenio is a multi-talented actor, producer and director who many have seen in the movie “Instructions Not Included.” That movie broke records a couple of years ago for Hispanic films released nation-wide within the United States. I highly recommend everyone goes and watches “Miracles from Heaven.” It is just a great movie that I know will touch you. This month, Conexión Media Group, in partnership with the Big Bend Minority Chamber of Commerce (BBMC) will host a free ½ day seminar in Tallahassee titled “Connecting with the Hispanic Market.” It will take place on <strong>April</strong> 28th at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Tallahassee. I take this opportunity to thank Gina Kinchlow of the BBMC for her support. We also thank Dr. Sindy Chapa and attorneys Gisela Rodriguez and Aisha Chaney for being a direct part of it via their presentations. See the related ad in this edition and also look for it in Facebook and other social media outlets. We have sent information to Tallahassee newspapers and <strong>web</strong>sites to promote it. We have given similar Affluenza contra Lackffluenza Por Luis Antonio Henriquez Affluenza o syndrome de niño rico, término utilizado por primera vez en el caso de Ethan Couchquien, quien bajo efectos del alcohol había dado muerte accidental a cuatro personas y a quien le otorgaron el beneficio de libertad condicional por padecer según él psicólogo esta patología, sin embargo la affluenza no está reconocida como diagnóstico médico por la Asociación Psiquiátrica Estadounidense. La justicia no busca tratar exonerar de responsabilidades a quien infringe la ley, sino de darle su justa sanción y aplicación, es decir no puede ser discriminatoria, en tal sentido debe ser aplicada a todos sin obviar recursos legales que permitan la búsqueda de la verdad o impunidad, por lo que me pregunto ¿es que acaso existirá un síndrome de niño pobre “Lackffluenza”, que permita a quienes carezcan de recursos materiales, eximirse de responsabilidad o seminars to members of the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce and we hope to take them throughout the area this year and next. Our region’s Hispanic community continues to grow and we want to make sure people know about the positive impact of that growth. We want to play a positive role in the growth that will continue in our North, NW Florida and SE Alabama areas. Also within this edition, there is an advertisement for United for a Good Cause’s 3rd Annual Leadership Conference, which will be held on <strong>April</strong> 23rd in Fort Walton Beach. We hope that ALL parents who may be reading this and have kids in 8th – 12th grades and live in the vicinity of Fort Walton Beach will register their kids to attend. It will be a great conference. See the ad in this edition and also look for info in Facebook. Cinco de Mayo will arrive before our next edition comes out! As you will see throughout this edition, several of our advertisers are having specials on that day at their restaurants. We hope you will take advantage of those great specials and go out and have a good time while you support those that help make this newspaper possible. We would not be able to publish Conexión without the advertisers! We welcome several new clients in this edition, including Pappadakis from Quincy. Pappadakis has some great vehicles in their ad and in their <strong>web</strong>site! Do not forget amigos! Mother’s Day is right around the corner! Until next time. May God bless everyone and we thank you for reading Conexión! atenuar la pena casi al grado de impunidad? Las sociedades democráticas, buscan alcanzar el equilibrio entre los Derechos Humanos y la impunidad, evitando excesos pero sin fomentar la práctica de acciones que terminen en delito, es decir implementar en la práctica la etimología de la palabra justicia. No debe haber exclusión ni privilegios sino interpretación aplicación de la norma, tomando en cuenta elementos que atenúen y agraven la pena impuesta según el delito. Existen situaciones puntuales que deben ser analizadas por quienes administran la justicia, pero esto no significa la “Affluenza” domine la realidad social y económica necesariamente en un país donde la “Lackffluenza” también podría formar parte de los elementos objetivos y subjetivos para evaluar un hecho punible… | 3
