1970 Season (Part IV)
NINTH RACE - 6 HS. OF WATKINS GLEN
Note published in the Parabrisas Corsa Magazine Nº221 on July 14th, 1970 - Page 12
The impressive "Blitzkrieg" Porsche also devastated at the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen.
Commanded by the pair of Gulf's celestial nine-seventeen's, directed by John Wyer, the complex teams of Germans cars, divided in teams of greater or smaller potential, won practically the final standings, except for a heroic pair of Ferraris who did not lower their arms even though everything was lost.
At the end of the 6 hours, both of Wyer cars arrived first and second with a three lap advantage on the third place Ferrari of Andretti-Giunti, but in spite of the great mechanical superiority demonstrated by the products of Stuttgart, the race could have been won by the third place, because of the dangerous rivalry that has settled between the pairs the Rodriguez-Kinnunen and Siffert-Redman, who almost give the race to Ferrari just two hours after the race had begun.
Evidently the Porsche surpasses the Ferrari but Mario Andretti is a decisive factor to shorten the differences of the Italian cars with the Germans. The guy of Pennsylvania works like the thousand wonders, and returned to be the axis of the spectacle when he managed to qualify between both of Wyer´s cars, integrating the front row, right next to Siffert and delaying Rodriguez to the second row.
At the start of the race, he took the lead with decision – for the enthusiasm of the 75,000 spectators who cheered for the Italic-American- and only after several laps; the great candidates, with evident power advantage, overtook him.

THE INTERNET'S MOST VISITED CAR POSTER SUPER STORE! The winners Rodríguez / Kinnunen
From there, Andretti and Giunti who was revealing to be an ascending promise, could not fight more for the lead, but they were not either bothered in their comfortable third position for the rest of the race, and hoping for any unexpected to charge forward. This could have happened after the first two hours of the race. Rodriguez tried unsuccessfully from the start to surpass the racing line of Siffert and the battle was continued between Redman (leader) and Kinnunen, in spite of the restrictions of John Wyer and David Yorke (Team Gulf bosses).
Then, once again with Siffert and Rodriguez driving the twin 917´s, Rodríguez began to burningly harass Seppi, and when they reached the Big Bend, dangerous right-hander curve, that ends to the entrance of boxes, he tried to pass Siffert through the kerb, hooking the front wheel of Siffert´s car. A disaster by a true miracle did not take place, and in spite of the contact, both cars could continue without losing his positions, although Seppi had to enter boxes to change the wheel at issue, that had been destroyed.
With the impatient Mexican leading, and Siffert closely escorting him, followed by a remote Andretti, the race followed its development with some spectacular "off tracks" but without desertions of much importance, abundant health in the motors – worthy faults did not take place- and a singsong calm in the positions, that did not vary until the end.
Larrousse, Van Lennep - little and nothing affected by the death of its partner Laine - and Jacky Ickx contributed the showy racing that characterizes them. This last one took the Ferrari to the grass, in an explosion that extended about two hundred meters, returning to asphalt when it already seemed impossible to avoid the base of the Dunlop bridge.
At the end, the Rodriguez-Kinnunen duo won four out of eight races monopolized until this date by Porsche in the World Championship of Makes and although they did not reach the numbers of Siffert-Redman achieved in the ' 69, they were devoted definitively like the pair of the year in Sports Prototypes. Pity the harshness that they had to resort to this time; had it came out wrong, the lion would have eaten them, or better put, the Ferrari.

What types of Burglar Alarm Systems are available?
Hard Wired Systems – All sensors and other security equipment are connected to an alarm control panel (the brains of an alarm system) by wiring. This is the most common type available.
Wireless Systems – All sensors and other security equipment work by transmitting their signals without wires to an alarm control panel, which may also include a keypad, siren and two-way voice communicator. These systems are battery operated.
a. Wireless Camera/Motion Detector Combinations – This type of camera alarm system transmits 10 second video clips of whomever or whatever activated the system to a central monitoring station, and if desired, the alarm system owner via their cell phone, or computer. This system is battery operated and is ideal for locations without electricity, but does need the availability of cellular service. The system is also used to upgrade existing hard wired and wireless systems.
b. Wireless or Hard Wired Camera Systems – This type of camera alarm system detects motion through special software in a digital video recorder (DVR), embedded DVR in the camera, or through motion detecting software on a remote server through the internet. The cameras can then be accessed via the internet by a central monitoring station, and if desired, the alarm system owner by their cell phone, notepad, or computer.
Secure Protection provides all these types of alarm systems for homes and businesses and will help you determine which alarm system best fits your security needs and budget.

Arashi has announced that they will suspend activities at the end of 2020. The group posted a video message on the fanclub website. Ohno says that he first talked to other members about suspending activities in June 2017. After that the members have several times talked about each going their own way. Each members shares their thoughts in the video.
Video (with Japanese subs):
https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/HdTlrBq77?fid=1034:4333109865557184
They will hold a press conference today.
The press conference wasn't bad at all. They were even joking
Ohno said he wants to see new places and just live a life freely, not having to think about the work.
They are talking a break, not disbanding. But who knows. Let's enjoy the next two years
Be still my heart.
In the video Aiba says that he doesn't think they can do group activities if one or two members are missing. Meaning Arashi = 5 members.

Only two more years?
I can't imagine them going on without one of their members either. I hope they'll come back something after that.

It's such a sad news. I can understand because it's quite difficult to live like that, but I'm a little sad.
Post by iheartaiba » Sun Jan 27, 2019 1:32 pm
I'm glad they decided to tell us early. But two years? That's a long time.
They are going to tell the reason at a press conference today. I'm looking forward to it.
Post by keioboylove » Sun Jan 27, 2019 2:27 pm
I'm so happy for them.
But I'm so sad and to be completely honest (even though I should've been expecting it) quite shocked.
But I've always said I want them to tell us when they're ready to move on.
So many mixed emotions right now.
We've still got two more Arashi filled years together. I'm looking forward to it.

When I first opened facebook on my phone this morning, this was one of the first things that popped up on my news feed from the Arashi page I liked. I was quite shocked but yet relieved at the same time. Is that weird? More than anything, I want the best for the boys and it seems like they are always busy all the time and don't have a lot of time for themselves. So, I'm kind of happy for them that they have officially announced that they will be taking a break. It is a break, right? Just no one knows for how long. They might not even know. I am happy and yet sad at the same time. Many mixed emotions for me, too. I'm listening to music on full blast through my ear buds right now because I feel so much. I should be listening to Arashi music.
I'm going to really cherish these next two years of this amazing group of men who have given me so much happiness and joy since 2015.
So, I'm kind of happy for them that they have officially announced that they will be taking a break. It is a break, right? Just no one knows for how long.
I honestly don't think they are going to come back as a group. I mean, maybe some special events or so, but it feels like especially Ohno wants to leave the entertainment world. He said that the past few years the feeling of wanting to "live freely" has grown stronger and stronger.
They have talked about taking a break and not disbanding, but I have a feeling that once Ohno gets to do whatever he wants he may not want to leave that life. But, we still have two wonderful years ahead so let's enjoy and support the group and every member
This is the feeling I got from it, too. They're saying it's a break, but it feels much more final than that.
But Jun did say 「解散ではありません」Which means "We are not breaking up/This is not our dissolution"
And I agree with Haru. I feel like Ohno will take some time and then realize he misses either performing or the hustle and bustle of it all or maybe he'll start to miss being with the others... Or maybe not. It could go either way.
Post by Nightshadow » Sun Jan 27, 2019 6:51 pm
Now I really, really hope they perform at the olympic games.
I really don't know what to make of all this, and since SMAP retired, Arashi can do that too. I think they can be in a long hiatus or they can disband. Or maybe this hiatus is kind of a test to see if they want to get back or not. Or maybe it's to give fans hope of them returning, I really don't know. Another of my favorite Japanese bands also went on hiatus and they came back, so I'll just be realistic, because it can go either way. But maybe they could do special performances like Haru said.
I think this totally has to do with Ohno, it's not exactly a secret he wanted to leave in the past, he even said so in the Blast in Hawaii documentary. That was a shock for me, I never thought he would admit it.
But anyway, what I wish is for them to enjoy a normal life, whether they disband or not, or whether they leave the entertainment world or not. It's their decision and I respect that. I wish them the best. They've made us happy, the least we can do is wish that they are happy too, right?
Around here, fans are throwing tantrums and going into crazy fits. They're so dumb. I thinks we as fans should respect their decision.
If they continue acting, that would be awesome. We could still see them on doramas and I won't say no to that. Even if not Ohno, but I won't say no to awesome Nino acting. Or Jun, 'cause I'm biased and I like his doramas.

...Why are they doing that?
Sure, it was a sudden announcement but we're getting at least two more years. And as said, it's not like all the members are going to disappear. For now it's mainly about Ohno wanting to take a break. Arashi members have worked hard in the entertainment industry since they were kids, they do deserve a break. Besides, it's only natural to want to have a change in one's career or life.
I have seen many of my favourite groups go on a long hiatus or disband (Take That, Pierrot, DBSK...), but I never I felt it was unfair or got mad. Arashi especially has pondered this for several years! I just can't understand immature behaviour...
Post by pknumba1 » Mon Jan 28, 2019 12:01 am
I know Sho, Nino and Aiba won't stop their shows because they have nothing to do with Arashi. Plus, they won't stop acting, right? Jun most of all. He loves theater and I'm sure he loves acting, so he won't leave that. Maybe he'll start a show of his own. Maybe some of them will do solo music projects. Who knows? We still have two more years with these lovely men, so I'm gonna cherish it as much as possible.
Post by Nightshadow » Mon Jan 28, 2019 11:55 pm
Sure, it was a sudden announcement but we're getting at least two more years.
'Cause they're childish and stupid. Like, really. A lot of the fanbase in my country are kind of mediocre wotas, and I've heard them saying really dumb things, like if they don't get concert tickets, life won't be worthy anymore. Like, wth. One of the reasons I love this community is that we are more mature than that. Anyway, it makes me curious as to how fans are reacting to this, because December 2020 is still a long time away, but some people are really immature.
I also don't think it's unfair, but even if it were, no one should judge them. We don't really know what goes on behind the idol personas. But even I, who doesn't follow their TV shows, can imagine it must be really exhausting to do all the things they do. They do deserve a break if they want it.
I started liking An Cafe like a few months before they went on hiatus and even then I didn't throw a fit. And they came back and then they gave a concert in my city! So, anything can happen with Arashi. Some people really need to grow up.
Dunno if they'll think about doing solo music projects, but if they do, why not listen to their new music? At least I'd give it a try and see if I like it.

May I disagree?. Thinking the same (this comm is so mature fans) I would like to give my two cents here. I'm not used to write my way of thinking because many fans already told me (in a very harsh way) I'm not truly a fan. But I give a try.
For me isn't sudden at all. After the NHK documentary I thought Ohno might be tired. Not of Arashi itself but about the entertainment industry. Year after year they said Arashi will end someday. No one of us wanted the end of Arashi but things inevitably ends . And 2 years before is too much I would prefer less time because means less speculations and less money making from the agency. Maybe all idea of the "hiatus" came after so many stupid comments in Arashi fandom and they tried to be creative in the way that this does not sound like a total tragedy, just in case some crazy fan wants to commit suicide and blame an idol.
In some point I don't think they comeback as Arashi. I mean It isn't bad if they want to disband, I have to respect that. Until now, only KATTUN come back after the hiatus and with one member less. Ohno didn't want too much exposure, I think if he thinks the work is being tied when he tries live freely I don't think he would be back. Maybe I'm wrong, who knows.
I the other hand, about the other 4 I don't think they have 40 and deserve a place in the retirement house. I wish they live the life they want and if they want to continue they can have work offers.

True. All true. Ohno said during the press conference that he's had thoughts about this since their 15th anniversary, and he even talked about quitting during the Hawaii documentary. I guess nobody took him seriously, and perhaps he didn't either. I guess we thought it was a feeling or a thought that would pass, and maybe he did, too. Yet, he admitted that the same thought kept popping up over and over for years until he finally talked about it with the other members. Ohno said over and over that he wasn't tired during the press conference, just that he wanted to try something different. That was my take on it.
Also Arashi may not come back as Arashi, even though Jun and Sho have said they would. Even if Ohno decides to come back with the band they might not be the same men as they were before the hiatus. They could be different people. Ohno could be different.
I think it's a good thing that they are taking this hiatus while they are still so strong and popular as a band. It would be tragic if they flopped and decided to break up right there, or if they're sales or concerts didn't do as well and they slowly dwindled until they faded away. It's like that saying. "Quit while you're ahead," even though they aren't quitting. My dad was a pastor and he preached at a church for 10 years before he said he felt God telling him to move on, and it wasn't because things weren't working out. That church was doing extremely well in terms of numbers, leadership, and spirituality. It's better to leave something when it's at it's pinnacle I guess.

I am happy for them (especially Ohno) to have a break, even if it turns into more than a break. My heart has felt heavy that they don't have time to be themselves really, or find a partner, do everything in life that the rest of us get the opportunity to do. It's been fairly obvious that Ohno is just 'done' with everything and is probably close to being burnt out. I can't imagine having to do the same thing for 20 years without a proper break. So yeah, I am sad that their combined TV shows won't go on, and we won't get the yearly song releases, but I am super happy for them to explore other things.
I hope they come back together, but if they don't, it's been an awesome run and I am thankful for the joy and happiness they have brought me.

I only found out about this yesterday while attempting to watch this week's VSA - I got to about half a minute mark, and paused the video to find out what's up. Have been processing the news ever since and still haven't finished that episode lol. I understand their decision and think they handled it perfectly. I'm glad it wasn't caused by anything bad or a "scandal" (can't imagine them doing anything that could be called that but sometimes people use this term very broadly). The fact they're giving their fans two years to cope is wonderful, especially considering Ohno wanted a break for years, and the upcoming months may be some of their busiest. That being said, I can't help but feeling a little torn and sad, as Arashi has been a part of my life for over 11 years now. I will miss watching their shows and new releases, I kind of hope not all of them will drop music entirely, although probably the chances are slim. Either way, let's all enjoy the upcoming two years and I wish all the best for them, as always :)

I love how mature everyone here is No unnecessary drama.

^This. I am so happy with the way we're reacting here.
I've been hoping that we get a super awesome last album. That they go out with a blast, that would be awesome on many levels.
Chiba: I am so sorry stupid fans have treated you like that, and I can relate. But here, we're not like that, pinky promise. I've also been told that since I don't watch every single TV show, even without subs and not knowing Japanese, then I'm not a fan. Or if we haven't been fans since blablabla year. We know if we're fans, they don't. I'm even a strange case because the #1 thing I like about Arashi is the music, and people put another thing on 1st place. We are all different kinds of fans.
pk: I'm surprised particularly about Sho saying he would come back. After the Hawaii documentary I kind of thought he was the one who would be up for leaving after Ohno. Of Jun, I think he is the #1 Arashi fan, so I'm not surprised about him saying he'd return.
I also hope no crazy wota fans make this bad for them, that would be horrible. Dx
Dyani: I went to college the other day listening to Arashi, but on the return trip I just couldn't listen to any more Arashi music. Maybe we're getting bittersweet feelings, even if we respect their decision.
Post by pknumba1 » Tue Feb 05, 2019 3:30 am
Well, isn't it kind of in the rules to...not do that? Just sayin'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Will their 5x20 be their last album? Probably not. I know they are still trying to make music despite everything else.
Nightshadow I can see Sho doing some more traveling like he did over the weekend. Travel to another country just to see a concert. Even though he could have seen it in Japan. On the other hand, he probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much and it definitely caught a lot of people off guard seeing him at the airport. I looooove those pics!

Yeah, it was announced here in Japan on TV, and that week's VS. Arashi featured a special message before the show started.
I hope making a post like this is okay (I couldn't find anything in the rules to say it wasn't, and it's from Johnny's web, which is about as official a source as it gets). Anyway, you probably all found this already, but for anyone who doesn't have access to Johnny's web (not sure if overseas people can read it) I thought I'd share the members' comments and Jun's response to the fan reactions, copied word-for-word from his official blog, "Enjoy":
It's been cold every day. You haven't come down with a cold, have you??
About the announcement we made the other day.
Once again, I'm terribly sorry for the sudden announcement that I'm sure was shocking for all of you.
It's been a few days since then, but I'm sure some of you are still unsure of what to make of things, or feeling unsettled and various other emotions right now.
We knew we had to tell you about it sometime...The concerts are still ongoing, too, so we wanted to get the announcement out of the way and spend as much fun time with all of you as possible afterward. I hope you'll understand that that's the reason we chose this timing for the announcement.
On the 27th, we made the announcement through our comments and video on the official site, then held a press conference.
At this point, we've tried to share everything with all of you, without hiding anything at all.
We also hope to continue announcing any new developments ourselves, speaking directly to you. That's how we feel.
Thanks to the reporting from lots of different media agencies, our words were able to reach all of the fans promptly, and I'm truly grateful for that.
Moving forward, you may have the opportunity to hear the speculations and feelings of others related to this announcement, completely separate from the message we've shared directly.
Let me repeat myself.
Whenever there is anything important to tell all of you moving forward, we will make an announcement and speak to you directly.
Incidentally, as I stated at the press conference, I have thought about ending ARASHI before. However, I've never tried to separate myself and become a solo performer rather than part of a group, and I've never taken any actions to try to achieve that. (^^)
And I'm sure I'll feel the same way about that until 2020. LOLOL
I believe there will also be some speculation and subjective articles by some media agencies. They're free to write and report as they see fit, and it's their job to do so as well, so I have no problem with it.
However, I want to be sincere and forthcoming with all of you.
So I hope you'll continue to follow and believe in us.
I hope we can all enjoy ourselves together until 2020.
That's my most heartfelt desire.
Yesterday, we did recording for "ARASHI ni Shiyagare."
Since we were unable to inform the program staff beforehand, I think a lot of them were quite shocked.
We told them we'll continue to enjoy the show together just like always.
There were even some people who were worried and came to the studio in person. I'm so grateful for their concern.
Also, we talked to the fans participating in the filming before we got started, and I could tell by their faces that they were experiencing a variety of emotions.
I think it will take some time.
More time the stronger your feelings are.
However, please continue to keep your eyes on us from here on out.
We'll make sure you don't regret it.
Someday, I hope you'll be able to understand how we feel.
Also, I want to make sure we can all look back on this time and realize it was the right choice.
This weekend, the five of us will be appearing on "Music Station."
I hope yo'll continue to watch and see all of us performing as ARASHI just like always.
This has gotten quite long, so I'll end today's post here.
In closing, all of the filming for the NHK TV drama finished up the other day!
I was finally able to cut my hair.
I hope you'll keep an eye out for me and see for yourself. LOL
I recorded that episode of Shiyagare and they did make a mini-announcement before it started, mostly apologizing for the suddenness of their previous announcement. Nothing was said about the band going on hiatus though, so I guess they figured people already knew. (To be fair, the initial announcement was pretty widespread on Japanese TV!)
The agency also made a separate announcement on the fan page. Most of it was going over what's already been said, but there were a few key points and comments from all the members:
It was the thoughts of one of the members, Ohno, that ultimately led to the decision to "suspend activities as ARASHI." "2020 would be a good place for us to leave things as ARASHI for the time being, to each go down our own paths." Considering those ideas by Ohno, countless discussions have taken place with all members of the group, individually, and with the company since around June 2017. They have shared with each other their true feelings, and, while clashing at times, struggled as they arrived at the decision that "ARASHI will go on hiatus for the time being and each of the members will go on to lead their own lives." Throughout everything that happened until arriving at this decision, all five members shared one common and unwavering belief, and that is, "The only way ARASHI would remain active is with all five members together."
Ohno Satoshi
"In mid-June of 2017, I gathered the other four members and shared what I felt and my thoughts.
As for what I said, I said I wanted to end my activities as a member of ARASHI in 2020.
That ARASHI's 20th anniversary and 2020 would be a good place for us to leave things as ARASHI and for the five of us to each go down own paths.
I'm also well aware that this was selfish of me, but I also expressed my desire to try living my life freely for once without being tied down by anything.
After that, I continued to have countless discussions with each of the members one-on-one.
After countless discussions as a group of five, the decision was reached that ARASHI will go on hiatus in 2020.
Each of the members have their own thoughts on this, and I will shoulder those thoughts as we keep on sprinting forward all the way through until the end of 2020.
I know this is sudden.
To all parties concerned who have continued to provide us with support, and most importantly, each of you, our fans, who have continued without fail to support ARASHI, I am truly sorry.
I am filled with such profound feelings of gratitude that I cannot express them in words. Thank you so very much.
With the remainder of our time until the end of 2020, I hope to properly carry out my duties to the best of my ability."
Sakurai Sho
"Discussion began in June of 2017.
The members talked individually to each other and the five of us discussed as a group countless times.
Around June of 2018...
the thoughts and feelings of the members I love so dearly, whom I've been together with for over twenty years...
With the many thoughts and feelings that differed slightly from each other, we managed to bring it all together and arrive at our decision.
I want ARASHI to keep being ARASHI until the end.
I want to keep ARASHI locked away in a treasure chest.
That's how I feel right now.
Back when we debuted as ARASHI in 1999, I never would've even imagined it.
I never would have imagined that there would be countless fans, people involved, and staff members at our side. And who continue to remain at our side.
Thanks to these people, I've been able to live out a countless number of my dreams.
They've taken me to places where I've been able to see countless sights.
These overflowing feelings of gratitude which can not be expressed with words alone are what I hope to be able to convey to all of you with our time from now on."

"I felt it would be difficult to remain active as a group while calling ourselves ARASHI when we're missing one or two members, and this is precisely because of the strong belief that it's the five of us that make ARASHI.
I love ARASHI.
I can do anything for ARASHI.
It's taken me time to sort out my feelings, but I've come to terms with it now!
It's absolutely not like we had a falling-out.
Entering our twentieth year, the trust that we share and the bonds between us have grown even stronger.
I'm truly grateful I got to know these four people.
To each of you who has supported ARASHI until now, thank you so much.
I'll do my best so that when the five of us resume activities again as a group, we'll be able to give all of you a performance that'll bring you joy!"
Ninomiya Kazunari
"I was very surprised when I first heard about it. I haven't even imagined anything like it, after all. However, after talking it over countless times since then, we have decided to suspend our activities out of respect for the opinions that each of us has.
The five of us are what make ARASHI ARASHI.
The five of us will do our best so that ARASHI can continue to be ARASHI until the very end of 2020.
To all concerned parties, we'll continue to be in need of your assistance!
And to each of you, our fans...
We will always be ARASHI."
Matsumoto Jun
"We've had multiple discussions and this is the decision that we've come to.
The five of us will continue sprinting forward until the end of 2020.
Also, I hope to do my best each and every day so that we can continue to make fun memories with all of you, our fans, until the very end.
That's how I feel.
As for why this announcement was made at this time, it is because we felt that it would take time for our fans who support us and the relevant parties what we work with to come to understand our decision.
And that is why the announcement was made now.
I hope to talk about it properly again and for us to be optimistic each day as we go about our lives.
Including this year that's the year of our 20th anniversary, I hope we'll be able to tell each of our fans how grateful we are for all the support that you've shown us until now.
I hope that's the kind of year it will be.
The five of us will continue sprinting forward together and I hope you'll be willing to come along with us."
So, reading between the lines, my take on all this is:
Arashi and the Jimusho know exactly how long the hiatus is going to last, but won't tell the fans because "Arashi is taking a 1-year hiatus" will be turned into "Arashi will definitely reform in one year" and they'll be committed to reforming whether they want to or not.
That said, I think the hiatus will be around 1 year; any less than that and someone in the media is going to claim it was just a publicity stunt. Any more, and most of the fans will start to cool off a little. At the end of this time, there'll be more meetings and discussions to talk about whether to make the hiatus permanent (ie, formally break up) or reform, perhaps with an easier schedule, ie, bring back VS Arashi but not Arashi ni Shiyagare. Talks will probably start a little earlier; that way, if they do reform, the agency can stage a big comeback in that year's Kouhaku
However it turns out, I'm happy for them. I think they've all earned a rest; they've spent more than half their lives in Arashi, after all. I hope their individual shows continue though, and I really hope they stay in touch with each other

The Americans did have their own Continental Navy but it was small and not equipped to do battle with Englands gunships; most American naval activity was concerned with privateering, or statesanctioned piracy and seizure of British merchant ships (American privateers were very active around the British Isles, capturing an estimated 1, 500 America was very much unprepared with no central government or army.
The congress stepped up as the government and began to organize an army. The Revolutionary War did not end until September 3, 1783 with the signing of the final peace treaty between America and Great Britain. The war began in 1775 and ended in 1783, in the beginning of the war it had just been America facing Great Britain and overtime nations such as France and Spain joined just to see Great Britain knocked down in power without the help from these nations America would have certainly lost the Revolutionary war.
The American Revolution began in Massachusetts at Lexington and Concord on 19 Apr 1775. On 3 Sep 1783, 8 years later it officially ended. Although the war took 8 years to end, the fighting was not one constant continuous effort without any major battle being fought after 1781 (Revolutionary War, 1996).

Structuralism is considered to be the first school of thought in psychology. It involved breaking down and analyzing the mind into the smallest possible parts. Structuralist psychology is most often associated with Wilhelm Wundt, who was famous for founding the very first lab devoted to experimental psychology and is generally considered the father of modern psychology.
Was Wundt really the founder of this early school of thought? While Wundt is often listed as the founder of structuralism, he never actually used the term. Instead, Wundt referred to his ideas as voluntarism. It was his student, Edward B. Titchener, who invented the term structuralism.
Though Titchener is usually the one credited with the establishment of structuralism and bringing the ideas to America, the ideas started with Wundt. Titchener actually changed much of what Wundt taught. Wundt believed that the mind could be broken down into structures by classifying conscious experiences into small parts that could be analyzed, similar to other sciences. Titchener decided to scrap Wundt's brand of structuralism because conscious experiences aren't as easy to control in an experiment as behavior is.
Titchener took Wundt's experimental technique, known as introspection, and used it to focus on the structures of the human mind. Anything that could not be investigated using this technique, Titchener believed, was not in the domain of psychology.
Titchener believed that the use of introspection, which utilized observers who had been rigorously trained to analyze their feelings and sensations when shown a simple stimulus, could be used to discover the structures of the mind and he spent the bulk of his career devoted to this task.
To discover how many processes there were, identify the elements of these processes, and explain how they work together.
To analyze the laws governing the connections between the elements of the mind.
To evaluate the connections between the mind and nervous system.
For approximately 20 years, Titchener dominated American psychology. He was also extremely prolific, publishing 216 books and papers during his lifetime. He trained a number of influential psychologists, supervising the doctoral work of nearly 60 students including Margaret Floy Washburn and Edwin C. Boring. Yet today his work is rarely mentioned outside of a purely historical context. He maintained a powerful hold on American psychology during his lifetime and contributed to psychology becoming a respected branch of the sciences, but his influence began to wane following his death.
Structuralism may have enjoyed a brief period of dominance in psychology, but the school of thought essentially died out following the death of its founder. It did, however, lead to the development of other movements, including functionalism, behaviorism, and Gestalt psychology.

Mr. Nguyen Truong Son expresses his gratitude to the scientist for their important contribution in the assessment of the studies participating Bao Son Prize 2012
The series of Vietnam Annual Economic Reports summarized the achievements and difficulties, opportunities and challenges of Vietnam's economy from 2009 to 2012 as well as analyzed several major economic issues. The reports series have been useful references for the policy makers in the making of macro-economic policies for sustainable development of Vietnam's economy. The studies provided objective review of the status and core issues of the economy of the country, contributing an independent voice from a research institute of a university.
According to the Judges' Council of the prize, the series of Vietnam Annual Economic Reports in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 have met the criteria of the prize and received high appreciation from scientists. This is a serious research work in terms of data preparation and content, which have been widely used and received the attention of many agencies, organizations and economics researchers because of its breakthroughs in science and high applicability. This product of science was sent to the State's research institutions, policy makers advisory body for application.
The study on the applications of stem cells has successfully developed a technology process of identification, classification, long-term implantation and storage of stem cells from bone marrow, cord blood and umbilial vascular endothelial. The study also suggested processes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for indicated patients; autologous stem cell transplant techniques in treating cases of post-myocardial infarction with coronary intervention, and cases with malignant blood diseases (MM and NHL); process of corneal epithelial sheet grafts for the treatment of corneal surface damage due to burns; and successfully developed standard procedures for the storage of stem cells from different sources (bone marrow, cord blood, umbilical vascular endothelial ).
Dr. Nguyen Duc Thanh and Assoc.Prof.Dr Do Doan Loi (represented winning studies) express their gratitude to the individuals and organizations whose contribution brought the success of the research studies
About the Bao Son Prize:
The Bao Son Prize was established by Bao Son Group and commissioned the VNU University of Economics and Business to be standing body of the prize.
In 2011, the Bao Son Prize was first awarded to the project "Investigating, Assessing, Statistics, and Planning Internationally and Nationally Significant Preservation Areas of Underwater Land" by a research team of Vietnam National University, Hanoi led by Prof.Dr. Mai Trong Nhuan - President. The total value of 2011's prize was USD20,000. It was the first time a national criteria system of underwater land assessment of Vietnamese was established, instead of international criteria or the criteria by other countries.
The Bao Son Prize for 2013 is expected to be launched in May 2013. The organizers are awarding the prize for outstanding studies in 5 fields with USD40,000 for each, namely Training and Education; Hungary and Poverty Reduction; Sustainable Development; Medical; and Literature - Art.

The U.S. military prison at Guantánamo Bay turns 10 today, and activists are marking the anniversary with protests andpetitions, reports and retrospectives. A decade after its founding, Guantánamo remains a dark stain on the national soul.
Then there's the fact that the prisoners at Guantánamo have been deprived of their liberty without any semblance of due process. Over the last decade, 779 prisoners have been held at Gitmo; 171 remain. Only six have ever been convicted of a crime.
When it comes to depriving people of their human and civil rights, Guantánamo stands as an unprecedented extreme. But it is far from the only place where these things happen. Today, in our cities and towns, in every state in America, there are places where individuals are incarcerated without trial, and where they suffer deprivation and abuse. They are our local jails.
Take the issue of pre-trial detention. According to the Pre-Trial Justice Institute, a full 61% of U.S. jail inmates–nearly half a million in all–have not yet been convicted of any crime. Many have not even been accused of a violent crime. The majority of them are in jail because they cannot afford the modest bail required for their release. A 2010 study by Human Rights Watch looked at defendants in New York City arrested on nonfelony charges. "Most were accused of nonviolent minor crimes such as shoplifting, turnstile jumping, smoking marijuana in public, drug possession, trespassing, and prostitution." It found that "87 percent were incarcerated because they were unable to post the bail amount at their arraignment," even though bail had been set at $1,000. These defendants faced weeks, months, or years in pre-trial confinement for no reason other than poverty.
While awaiting trial, these individuals face appallingly overcrowded conditions, inadequate food – and far worse. On New York City's Rikers Island, nearly one in twelve prisoners is held in solitary confinement at any given time; the jail maintains two isolation units specifically for inmates with mental illness, and another for juveniles. Pre-trial solitary is routinely used on underaged inmates, to separate from the adult jail population; one report out of Texas found juveniles in the Harris County Jail spending a year or more in complete isolation. In the most extreme cases–such as that ofSyed Fahad Hashmi, pre-trial detainees are held under "Special Administrative Measures" that constitute acute sensory deprivation.
"America's criminal justice system has deteriorated to the point that it is a national disgrace," said Senator Jim Webb, using a phrase that has often been applied to Guantánamo Bay. But just as it has thwarted any attempts to close Gitmo, the U.S. Congress has blocked all of Webb's attempts to propel the kinds of domestic criminal justice reforms that might have kept local jails from remaining Gitmos in our own backyards.

My recent work on the gramps database objects has led me to reflect upon their structure from an abstract data type point of view. I'm hoping that this blog entry will start a discussion that will ultimately lead to the development of a true ADT-based structure for gramps databases with multiple implementations.
The current implementation of gramps uses BSDDB as the storage engine. This has served us well and provides an efficient back end with good Python wrappers to access it. (For those wanting more detail, see the official documentation.) Gramps today is tightly bound to BSDDB. This is not optimal and could make porting to a different engine troublesome and tricky. On the other hand, it is helpful to examine the structure and use the insight gained from that examination to design good ADTs for future implementations.
As most readers will know, a gramps database is actually a collection of BSDDB databases of various types that live together in subdirectory in some filesystem. There are eight primary BSDDBs, one for each primary object type (Person, Family, Event, Place, Source, MediaObject, Repository and Note). These are keyed by a program-generated hash that is called a handle internally. Mirroring these are eight secondary databases that are indexed by gramps id and point (via handle) to the primary objects. Additionally, there are databases to track cross-references and other things.
Within the BSDDB world, the subdirectory is an important entity in its own right. It is considered to be the environment within which the underlying databases function. This environment provides centralized control over transactions and serialization among other things.
Though I'm still in the (very) early stages with these classes, they have already allowed for some simplifications. For example, today the get_person_by_handle method calls get_by_handle specifying the actual database and handle. Within the new structure, this can simply be person[handle] if "person" is a MyShelf object for the person database. The details of how the handle is accessed and the person object returned are hidden by the class.
It should in principle be very easy to implement the same classes using regular Python dictionaries instead of BSDDB databases. This would allow for working with non-persistent databases entirely in RAM — a possible boon for testing new modules or isolating odd troubles.
I hope by this posting to spur others on to think more about defining ADTs for gramps with an eye to implementing them for other back ends. Please add your thoughts.
What I mean is: attribute would have no meaning on top of a bsddb backend, but on top of sql this makes perfect sense (although not the most usefull thing). More meaningfull, marker would have meaning, and a query: all people with this marker makes sense. On bsddb this is a loop over the people table, in another implementation it is not.
As a consequence, I believe we must work with gen.lib, and see that as 'THE' way to access the genealogy data stored. How this interacts with the backend is up to the implementation of the backend. Some logic of the filters should move to that, so for marker we have a filter to select on marker chosen, how this is done should be more backend agnostic.
We should also not reinvent the wheel. Access to mysql backend already exists for python in many different frameworks, of this the django model approach is a very nice one. So if we consider different backends, we should make bsddb fit into an existing scheme, not make a scheme for sql that fits our bsddb scheme which we then have to support. The support part is really what bothers me in this.
3. once we have an idea how 2 very different backends need to be implemented, see how we can offer to he plugin writers a unified way so they need not bother about the database layer.
I see value in preserving the current setup of access based on primary objects. I also see that this is a simple concept to port to other backends, since we simple pickle the object and store it keyed by handle. Keeping that approach will make porting to other storage engines extremely easy.
I do see value in keeping the abstractions separate from the implementations. So gen.lib for the abstractions and gen.db for the bsddb implementation, e.g. might be one approach, though not necessarily the optimal one. I can't see that it makes much difference for plugins if the methods come from one place or the other, though.
3. Expose the methods for accessing the ADTs for use in plugins, which would then not have to think about anything beyond the objects they are interested.

MICF 2016: Tom Ballard's BOUNDLESS PLAINS TO SHARE
Brave, brutal and frankly brilliant comedy
By Bradley Storer
Using the contentious and polarizing issue of refugees and immigration as the subject of a comedy show is not immediately the most appealing idea. Luckily Tom Ballard, an award-winning and accomplished young comedian, has proven adept in previous shows at finding the intersections between the personal and the political, and the humour contained within. Here he uses his comedic skill to examine Australia's approach to refugees, the oft-maligned 'boat people' who have informed political policy for decades.
This 'comedy-lecture', as Ballard terms it, leans more towards comedy at the beginning, as Ballard eases his audience in with some self-deprecating jabs and some well-executed audience participation. The 'lecture' comes in a self-contained section where Ballard manages at hilariously break-neck (and minutely timed, courtesy of an audience member's stopwatch app) speed to summarise Australia's immigration policies throughout the entire 20th century with some brutally funny jabs at those in power during these eras.
The danger of a show such as this is the possibility of only preaching to the converted (since those attending a young gay comedian's show are not necessarily likely to be politically conservatives) or indulging in self-righteous anger and finger-pointing that does little to engage the audience. While Ballard is clear and precise about where the origins of our deplorable policies towards refugees come from, he, under the direction of Scott Edgar, uses various devices and clever writing to draw the audience into an open discussion and to understand the people behind the de-humanizing names: 'boat people', 'illegals' and 'cue-jumpers'.
The sentiment that comes across is not 'we are terrible people', but rather 'we are good people, so how are we letting this happen?' After keeping the audience laughing uproariously through the rest of the show, Ballard concludes with an incredibly emotional finale that emphasizes the common humanity shared by all of us that connects us regardless of race, religion or country of origin. There are no laughs, but this moment of seriousness feels rightly earned by Ballard, and if the tears and riotous applause following are anything to go by, the audience agrees. Arguably the best show Ballard has ever presented, and quite possibly one of the strongest shows for the entire festival.

REVIEW: Evgeny Shwarz's THE DRAGON
Comedy trio Tripod spread their draconian wings
By Ross Larkin
Corruption. Power. Denial. Oppression… Sound amusing? Well, it is.
Toby Schmitz has adapted Evgeny Schwarz's 1944 satirical play The Dragon into a modern theatrical feast of fiery wit and cleverly apt and poignant dialogue.
From the outset, some skepticism is understandable. Has director, Marion Potts, created a fairy tale? A pantomime? A musical? It's a little hazy. Soon after, however, it really doesn't matter.
Melbourne's ingenious comic trio Tripod (Scott Edgar, Steven Gates and Simon Hall) have not only written the music for the piece, they also perform their catchy soundtrack while portraying the good guy onlookers as well as the contrasting evil three-headed dragon – one hilarious head each.
Sir Lancelot (played with gorgeous charm by Jimi Bani) arrives in a small village to slay said dragon and relieve its inhabitants of the oppression and control inflicted by their so-called 'almighty', while rescuing a fair maiden (Nikki Shiels), condemned to wed the manipulative beast.
However, the brainwashed town and its foolishly egocentric and impressionable mayor (the ever-impressive Kym Gyngell), are under the illusion the dragon is to be worshipped as their all-knowing leader, and remain under its spell, oblivious to their repressed existence, and therefore resistant to Lancelot's quest.
In an Orwellian struggle to revolutionise a totalitarian-wracked culture (coincidently, or more likely deliberately, in line with current Australian politics), Schmitz's impressively astute and often poetic dialogue, meshed with Tripod's loveable commentating music and lyrics, is a delightful merry-go-round of tension and fun.
Perched on a very effective revolving set, The Dragon is confronting, thought-provoking, amusing and highly satisfying, thanks to a brilliant script and soundtrack, not to mention a delightfully talented cast.
The Dragon is playing now until July 26, 2013.
Wed to Sat 7.30pm, Sat 2.00pm matinee,
Sun 5.00pm, Tues July 23 at 6.30pm.

Someone help.

A: This is a great question. You could use Rmarkdown in order to export your tables directly to MS Word. Here a little example. You can use kable() function from knitr in order to format your tables directly to the document. You can copy and paste next lines into a new empty Rmarkdown document an see the result:
---
title: "Example for tables"
author: "XYZ"
output: word_document
---

This is an R Markdown document with examples about tables

```{r,echo=F,message=F,warning=F}
library(knitr)
#Data
data("iris")
```

```{r,echo=FALSE,message=FALSE,warning=FALSE}
kable(iris,caption = "Table 1: Iris data",align = rep('c',5))
```

With previous lines on your document you can save it and then click on Knit Word. A document in MS Word similar to this will be created:

As you can see a table from iris has been added. You can add the tables you want using chunks and then format with kable() in order to export.

Beauty Beat: Lancome Steps Into a Man's World … Hypnose Homme … Lancome Men
For Lancome, 2007 is the Year of the Man.

Lancôme Steps Into a Man's World
PARIS — For Lancôme, 2007 is the Year of the Man.
As explained by Odile Roujol, general manager of L'Oreál-owned Lancôme International, "In 2007, we have two big conquests to make."
The brand is ramping up to introduce its Hypnôse Homme men's fragrance and its Lancôme Men skin care line over the next few months. (See launch stories, below.)
According to Roujol, Hypnôse Homme and its other upcoming fragrance projects for men should generate 20 percent of Lancôme's overall fragrance sales in the next three years. That would put Lancôme among the top 10 men's fragrance brands worldwide. As for skin care, the brand's goal is to have Lancôme Men represent 10 percent of the brand's sales, catapulting it into number-one slot in male antiaging treatment. (Currently, men's beauty products ring up less than 5 percent of Lancôme's overall business.)
Also to lure guys' attention, Lancôme signed actor Clive Owen to be the face of its new projects for men, as reported.
"As an actor, he's making daring choices," said Roujol. "I think he is very committed to what he does."
That includes his role as a spokesman.
"He's been very involved," she said, adding, "There was no second [spokesman candidate] on the list. I know we share the same values."
"He is the perfect modern man," added Vincent Brun, marketing director of fragrances and men's skin care at Lancôme International. "He is very seductive, very universal. That's what Lancôme is about."
Two years following the launch of its blockbuster Hypnôse women's scent, Lancôme is set to introduce Hypnôse Homme, meant to bolster the L'Oreál-owned brand's men's fragrance portfolio.
"Men's fragrances are part of the DNA of the brand," said Roujol, who recapped that Balafre, the brand's first scent for males, came out as long ago as 1968. Lancôme's most recent men's scent, Miracle Homme, was introduced in fall 2001.
Hypnôse Homme's juice — a fresh, amber-based lavender — was created by Maurice Roucel, of Symrise. Its top notes include essences of mint, bergamot, Calabrian mandarin and Chinese cardamom seed. Heart notes include essence of Provençal lavender, and base notes include amber, musk and essence of Indonesian patchouli.
The new fragrance's bottle was created with packaging designer Charles Boussiquet, of Areca. The flacon is reminiscent of Hypnôse's in that it appears to be twisting vertically. However, Hypnôse Homme's bottle is not as tall as Hypnôse's, and it is amber-colored (rather than violet-hued) due to the juice inside.
Hypnôse Homme's print advertisement, shot by Tom Munro and featuring Owen holding the fragrance bottle, will break in single and double pages worldwide. As reported, Wong Kar Wai directed Owen and Daria Werbowy (another Lancôme face) in TV spots, set to run between five and 25 seconds in international markets outside the U.S. In the commercial spot, Owen and Werbowy wander through a maze of glass panels. Winding their way slowly toward each other, they steal sensual glances.
Sampling for Hypnôse Homme will include scented strips and fragrance miniature samples.
While Lancôme executives would not discuss sales forecasts, industry sources estimate Hypnôse Homme could ring up $80 million at retail during its first 12 months.
The new fragrance is to be introduced in southern Europe in March, in the rest of Europe and travel retail in April, and in the U.S. in May.
Hypnôse Homme's lineup will include a 50-ml. eau de toilette spray for $45, a 75-ml. edt spray for $55, plus a number of ancillaries, including a 75-ml. stick deodorant for $16.

Lancôme is muscling in on the men's treatment market.
The L'Oreál-owned brand aims to become the top-selling player in the antiaging category for men following the spring introduction of Lancôme Men, which will be fronted by Owen.
"Lancôme is number one in antiaging worldwide for women," said Roujol. "We intend to become the reference in antiaging men's skin care."
L'Oreál executives declined to discuss forecasts, however, industry sources estimate the line could generate $40 million in first-year retail sales.
The eight-unit collection, which is to replace the 15-unit Lancôme Homme line introduced in 2003, is Lancôme's third attempt to dominate the grooming for guys arena. Lancôme's first try, Programme Homme, was discontinued in the Eighties.
In creating Lancôme Men, which sports the logo "Lancôme Loves Men," company executives conducted an international sociocultural study involving 18,500 participants. The survey concluded that men use skin care to feel good, clean and self-confident, according to Veronique Delvigne, scientific director of Lancôme International.
Additionally, Lancôme's laboratories undertook a three-year research program to identify the main aspects of men's aging. Key findings included men's wrinkles stabilize around age 40, while pore size increases until men reach their 50s, explained Philippe Touzan, Lancôme's international director of corporate skin care development.
As a result of the studies, Lancôme tailored products by age, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Items in Lancôme Men are color-coded for easy selection. Blue denotes products targeting 25- to 30-year-olds, such as Hydrix Micronutrient Moisturizing Gel, for example; red is for items such as Age Fight Anti-Age Perfecting Fluid, meant for 30- to 40-year-olds, and purple is for products like Renergy 3D Lifting Anti-Wrinkle, Firming Cream, which are for men aged 40 and over.
Products range in price from $25.90 for a 200-ml. bottle of Shave Foam to $86.30 for a 50-ml. jar of Renergy 3D.
The collection is deliberately trim, according to Vincent Brun, Lancôme International's marketing director of fragrances and men's skin care.
"We know that men do use different products, but they don't layer as much as women," he said.
Lancôme is banking on what Roujol termed "cutting-edge technology and exclusive ingredients," combined with the star power of Owen as the brand's face, to grab market share in the highly competitive prestige men's treatment category.
Lancôme Men's star products, Age Fight Fluid and Age Fight Gel, contain an antioxidant complex including vitamins C and E, wheat extract and polyphenols sourced from grapes.
Packaging, which features Kevlar, a material often found in the aeronautical industry, is intended to seem modern and masculine.
Lancôme Men will bow in southern Europe in March, in the rest of Europe and travel retail in April, and in the U.S. in May.
Single- and double-page advertising, featuring Owen, will focus on Age Fight starting in March. In 2008, Renergy 3D will take center stage, backed with another Owen-fronted ad.
New references, including sun care, will come out every six months, starting next year.

I never buy white bread except at Thanksgiving. When my mom taught me how to make Thanksgiving stuffing, she always used 1/2 a loaf of white bread. And I still make my stuffing the same way my mom did.
That leaves me with 1/2 a loaf of bread that I don't really like to eat. But add some raisins — maybe even some apples — and leftover bread becomes delicious bread pudding. And a bonus…it's better with stale bread too!
Preliminaries: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter a 9-by-6-inch baking dish.
Assemble the bread pudding: Spread each slice of bread with a generous amount of butter on both sides. Cut each slice into 4 squares. Arrange slices in prepared baking dish. You will need 3 slices of bread for each layer. Spread some of the raisins on the buttered bread, then repeat with another layer of bread slices topped with raisins. Top the last layer of bread with raisins. Combine the remaining ingredients (reserving the extra brown sugar) and pour over the bread. Take a sheet of wax paper and lay it on the top of the baking dish and press down lightly. Let mixture stand about 20 minutes.
Bake the pudding: Remove the wax paper. Spread extra brown sugar on top to taste. If you like, sprinkle cinnamon instead. Bake on center rack in preheated oven for 50 minutes, then use a tester to determine whether the pudding has set up and it done through.
Melt butter and slowly stir in confectioners' sugar. Add rum and heat until bubbly. Pour over each serving of Bread Pudding.
Presentation: Enjoy hot or warm.

Several years ago, ElCielo created ElCielo Foundation with the commitment of going beyond, helping to "cook the peace in Colombia", and with the firm conviction that such peace is built by bringing the Colombians together. This was founded almost simultaneously with the first restaurant. It has been one of the pioneers in Colombia to involve peace with gastronomy. The Foundation trains soldiers wounded by antipersonnel mines or in combat, former guerrillas, and ex-paramilitaries. These are trained in cooking (and in the various areas that make up the cuisine) so they can be prepared to work outside the armed life and so they can reconcile and forgive their former enemies. ElCielo Restaurant and its foundation have become an inclusive organization where, in addition to working with soldiers and former guerrillas, also train females head of household, wives of kidnapped soldiers, peasants and indigenous people who have been forced to leave their place of origin (displaced). Throughout these years, more than 300 people have been trained. ElCielo donates 30% of its annual profits to the support of these social responsibility projects.

Purchasing of property in North Cyprus is safe for citizens of any country. In March 2011 The European Court of Human Rights has officially recognized the Immovable Property Commission of Cyprus. The European Court of Human Rights upheld that the Immovable Property Commission TRNC (Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus) was an accessible and effective local remedy for all persons seeking redress and is therefore an appropriate forum for deciding on complex matters of property ownership, valuation and assessing financial compensation.

The status quo is unacceptable and its prolongation will have negative consequences for the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
The leaders expressed their determination to resume structured negotiations in a resultsoriented manner.
The settlement will be based on a bi-communal, bi-zonal federation with political equality, as set out in the relevant Security Council Resolutions and the High Level Agreements. The united Cyprus, as a member of the United Nations and of the European Union, shall have a single international legal personality and a single sovereignty, which is defined as the sovereignty which is enjoyed by all member States of the United Nations under the UN Charter and which emanates equally from Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots. There will be a single united Cyprus citizenship, regulated by federal law. All citizens of the united Cyprus shall also be citizens of either the Greek-Cypriot constituent state or the Turkish-Cypriot constituent state. This status shall be internal and shall complement, and not substitute in any way, the united Cyprus citizenship. Joint Declaration: final version as agreed between the two Leaders.
The united Cyprus federation shall result from the settlement following the settlement's approval by separate simultaneous referenda. The Federal constitution shall prescribe that the united Cyprus federation shall be composed of two constituent states of equal status.
The negotiations are based on the principle that nothing is agreed until everything is agreed.
The appointed representatives are fully empowered to discuss any issue at any time and should enjoy parallel access to all stakeholders and interested parties in the process, as needed.


Mark Shapiro has been named as the new president of global sports and entertainment agency Endeavor.
Shapiro was formerly chief content officer at IMG, prior to its merger with WME, overseeing content strategies for the company's sevear brands. Earlier this year he reportedly played a key role in the negotiation of the five-year, $1.5bn media rights deal with ESPN for Endeavour-owned mixed martial arts promotion UFC.
The appointment signals Endeavor's intention to expand its multimedia output. The company recently launched new businesses like Endeavor Content, which develops and produces film and TV projects, and Endeavor Audio, a full-service podcast studio.
In a statement, co-chief executive Ari Emanuel said that promoting Shapiro would help Endeavor "realize its full potential".
