Nature of the Activity: Ninja Kids is a recreation facility which offers clients the opportunity to participate in a number of recreational activities designed for fun and fitness. Activities include maneuvering one's body by climbing, jumping, swinging, hanging, balancing, and other tasks designed to increase the strength, endurance, general fitness, and confidence of the participant. Ninja Kids activities include running up the warped wall, swinging from ropes, rings and cannon balls, trampoline, gymnastics style tumbling, ring slider, quintuple steps, balance beams, and many more. Other activities available at Ninja Kids include parties, classes, competitions, school holiday programs, and special events.
However, while there are many benefits associated with these activities, Ninja Kids feels it is important that the PARTICIPANT/PARENT (which refers to either an ADULT Participant, OR a MINOR Participant and PARENTS/LEGAL GUARDIANS) knows that Ninja Kids activities range from moderate to strenuous. Consequently, Ninja Kids activities, like all physical activities, involve some risks of injury that are inherent to the activity. Some of the inherent risks of the Ninja Kids activities include, but are not limited to falls (even on padded surfaces), collisions with other participants or with stationary objects, landing wrong on leaps or jumps, landing on another participant, over-exertion, attempting actions or maneuvers that are beyond a participant's capacity, landing on a hard surface, slips and falls within the activity area or in other parts of the facility, unexpected failure of the equipment, and shifts in padding. Other inherent risks include erratic or careless behavior of the participant, erratic or careless behavior of other participants, supervisory or judgment error by Ninja Kids staff (e.g., supervisor misjudging the capacity of the participant to perform a task; failure to spot a hazard during facility inspection).
Further, Ninja Kids feels that it is important that the PARTICIPANT/PARENT understands that minimal, serious and catastrophic injuries can occur in any physical activity. While it is impossible to eliminate all risk and possibility of injury, Ninja Kids 1) has designed the facility with safety as a prime concern; 2) provides padding of floors and many stationary objects; 2) has trained supervisors on duty; 3) provides general supervision of activities; 4) provides instruction and emphasizes safe skill progressions.
I, the PARTICIPANT/PARENT, have read the above paragraphs and know that activities at Ninja Kids contain inherent risks which vary with the activity. I understand the demands of those activities relative to my physical condition and skill level (or that of my minor child), and I appreciate the types of injuries that may occur as a result of activities at Ninja kids and their potential impact on my well-being and lifestyle (or that of my minor child). I hereby assert that my participation (or that of my minor child) is voluntary and that I (and my child) knowingly assume all inherent risks.
In consideration of permission to use the Ninja Kids facilities and services, today and on all future dates, I, the PARTICIPANT/PARENT, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my heirs, my parents or guardians, personal representatives, and assigns [hereafter referred to as Releasing Parties] do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Gymstars Cheerleading T/A Ninja Kids, its owners, directors, officers, sponsors, affiliates, employees, volunteers, independent contractors, equipment providers, agents, and facility owners [hereafter referred to as Protected Parties] from liability from any and all claims arising from the ordinary negligence of Ninja Kids or the Protected Parties.
This agreement applies to 1) personal injury (including death) from incidents or illnesses arising from participation in Ninja Kids activities (including, but not limited to, instruction, individual or group play, parties, competitions, classes, school holiday programs, special events, observation, use of Ninja Kids facilities or equipment, and all premises including the associated sidewalks and parking lots); and to 2) any and all claims resulting from the damage to, loss of, or theft of property. I authorize any representative of Ninja Kids to consent and authorize any medical attention, treatment, surgery or administration of drugs by qualified and licensed medical personnel for my son/daughter, which may become necessary.
I, the PARTICIPANT/PARENT, also agree to protect, defend, indemnify and hold Gymstars Cheerleading T/A Ninja Kids , including its Protected Parties from and against any and all claims, demand, losses, suits, liabilities, costs, or other damages including court costs and attorney's fees, arising from any injury to, or death of son/daughter, the undersigned, or any other persons or damage to or destruction of property arising out of or in connection with any damage to third parties occasioned by, incident to, arising out of, or in connection with my/ my son/daughter's participation.
• Agree to obey all safety rules and alert the staff to any rules violations or dangerous behavior of co-participants.
• Agree to respect the facility and equipment and not willingly cause damage to any piece of equipment or area of the facility.
• Acknowledge that it is the participant's duty to inform staff and cease exercise immediately if he/she feels any unusual discomfort (e.g., faintness, shortness of breath, high anxiety, chest pains) during participation.

I, the PARTICIPANT/PARENT, acknowledge that I am voluntarily signing this agreement, and intend my signature to be a complete release of all liability.
Additionally, I, the Parent/Guardian of a minor participant, assert that I have explained the risks of Ninja Kids activities and Ninja Kids safety rules to my minor son or daughter and that he or she understands the risks and agrees to follow the rules.
I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the above minors and confirm that the information I entered is accurate and true.
• I understand Ninja Kids produces promotional material about the program. I understand that I/my son/daughter may be included in videotape or photography taken at Ninja Kids. I hereby grant Ninja Kids, its successors, assignees, licensees, sponsors, any television networks and all other commercial exhibitors the exclusive right to photograph and/or videotape myself/ my son/daughter and further to utilize my/my son/daughter's name, face, likeness, voice and appearance as part of the event, and in advertising and promotion of the event.

The victim was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, he said.
It was not known whether the homicide was gang-related, Gonzalez said.

Farewell, Northwest
Bob Collins October 29, 2008, 8:12 PM Oct 29, 2008
Delta got Justice Department approval on Wednesday to take over Northwest Airlines. And the bosses of Northwest sent these final letters out to the employees:
Doug Steenland
Today, we finalized our merger transaction with Delta, creating the world's premier global airline. With the closing of this transaction, the merged airline – including its employees, customers and the communities it serves – will be best positioned to be a strong competitor and to master the challenges that the airline industry will continue to face.
When you come to work tomorrow, you will be employees of NWA, Inc. – a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines. The name Northwest Airlines, and our signature Red Tail, will begin to transition away. But the spirit of our Company – our "can do" attitude, our resourcefulness, our commitment to operational excellence, and our culture of innovation, will live on in the new Delta.
I am confident that as the best of the "Red" and the best of the "Blue" blend together, the 75,000 employees of the new Delta will create the biggest and best airline in the world.
It has been a pleasure to serve as your CEO and I wish you all the very best.
Message to Employees from Northwest Airlines Board Chairman,
Roy Bostock
To all Northwest employees:
On behalf of the Northwest Airlines Board of Directors, I would like to congratulate you on the completion of our merger with Delta and thank you for your hard work and dedication to Northwest.
Your commitment to the airline has shown itself through the industry-leading operating performance that Northwest has experienced over the last several months and over the course of the last several years. As a Board, we firmly believe that the Delta merger is in the best interests of you, our customers, and the communities Northwest serves. We wish you the best as you move forward as part of the world's premier global airline.
And then they got this letter from the new bosses
To: Worldwide Employees of Delta Air Lines
From: Richard Anderson and Ed Bastian
Subject: THE NEW DELTA
Let us be the first to welcome you to the new Delta, the world's largest airline with the best people, most comprehensive route network, strongest balance sheet and best position in the industry. Each of you is an important part of building this great airline.
As you know, we face a very difficult economic environment around the world. Much of the work to bring our two airlines together is well underway, and as we work together to complete the integration over the next 12-24 months, you will see that the new Delta is even better positioned to navigate the tough waters ahead in a difficult economy. The merger makes even more sense as we face an economic recession because we can capture $2 billion of benefits annually that neither airline could accomplish alone.
We have made solid progress since announcing the merger just over six months ago. We testified in Congress, received approval from the European Union, completed an unprecedented collective bargaining agreement with both pilot groups, had our plan to achieve a single operating certificate approved by the FAA, received full approval from our shareholders and, finally, received approval from the Department of Justice. Our progress has been swift but thoughtful, as completing the transaction helps us realize the benefits of the merger more quickly.
At Delta, we care about you, as a colleague and as an individual. Our foundation is open, honest and regular communication. We treat each other with dignity and respect, always. We steadfastly believe it is our obligation to provide a safe work environment for you, solid financial results, competitive pay and benefits. We will do this by ensuring Delta is a strong company built for long-term success and profitability. That is the only true job security in this industry.
Rules of the Road is a set of guidelines we use at Delta every day. If you have not already done so, please review it on DeltaNet. It was inspired by the Delta employee manual from the 1940s written by Delta's founder, C.E. Woolman. He had a saying that is as true today as it has ever been: "Take care of your employees and they will take care of your customers." That is why the only way this merger could happen was if employees shared in the success of the company – from cash payouts to raises to stock awards to profit sharing. Our people will reap the rewards of their hard work.
Delta is a special place. We work hard, deliver safe and reliable operations, provide excellent customer service, treat each other with respect and truly enjoy working for this airline. The new Delta will allow us to grow on the foundation we have built over the last 79 years by bringing two airlines together. We can and will create one great airline. We have already achieved what others could not. We are unique. By working together, we will make this the most successful merger in airline history.
We look forward to what lies ahead for us, this time as a team of 75,000 strong.
Welcome to the new Delta.

The curse of graduation party season
The crowdsourced vacation
Bexalee
I can't think of anything worse for the flying public in Minnesota, and all the other hub cities of Delta or NW. Now we all have one less competitor, and one more business that is really too big to fail. Whatever happened to the rules against monopolies? They haven't learned how to make money at any size so what have they changed that will make them viable on an even larger scale? Anyone want to take bets on how long it will take until they have their hand out asking for more taxpayer money "or else"? Our elected officials (and by extension the regulatory agencies) should be out there ensuring competition, not destroying it.
Northwest is expert at "or else" ultimatums. It's done this repeatedly with employees, MAC and has already had experience getting a government handout: MARCH 1992: Governor signs a $761 million financing package for NWA – down from the original $838 million. (from 2005 Mn Legislative research document "Northwest Airlines and the State of Minnesota: A Chronology"). Also the airline industry got a federal bailout package after 9/11, and NWA got part of this pie.
Yes, whatever happened to monopolies and anti-trust? Has the definition of monopoly changed to global only instead of national? What's next, the galaxy? Too big is too big. The risk of the whole thing crashing down is too great, and dragging everything it's attached to into a quicksand morass.

Welliver was born in New Haven, Connecticut, the son of Norma Cripps, a fashion illustrator, and Neil Welliver, a landscape painter.[1][2] He studied drama at New York University in the early 1980s, before his film and television career began to take off.[3]
Welliver's life has been marked by tragedy: his older brother, Silas, died of muscular dystrophy, a younger sister died as an infant, his stepmother died of an infection six months later,[4] and his younger brother, Eli, was killed in Thailand.[5]
Welliver has worked on several film projects, including The Doors (1991), Mobsters (1991), Mulholland Falls (1996), Rough Riders (1997), Once in the Life (2000), Biker Boyz (2003), Twisted (2004), Assault on Precinct 13 (2005). He has been cast in all four of director Ben Affleck's films to date; Gone Baby Gone (2007), The Town (2010), Argo (2012) and Live by Night (2016). He was also cast in director Michael Bay's film Transformers: Age Of Extinction in 2014.
On television, he had a recurring role as a doctor on NYPD Blue and was one of the stars of the CBS police drama Brooklyn South. Moreover, Welliver is well known for playing the semi-regular character Silas Adams on the HBO series Deadwood. Welliver played "The Representative" in two episodes of Prison Break, portrayed Kyle Hollis (a.k.a. Reverend Orson Parker) in the NBC series Life, and appeared in the season five finale of Lost as the "Man in Black", which he continued to portray during the sixth and final season.
He was introduced into FX's Sons of Anarchy midway through season two, in which he portrays Irish gun kingpin Jimmy O'Phelan. In 2009, he started playing the role of Prosecutor Glenn Childs, a rival of Chris Noth's character, in the CBS series The Good Wife. He joined the cast of the apocalyptic drama The Last Ship in a recurring role for its first two seasons, as Thorwald, a local warlord fighting underground in a dying world infected by a global pandemic.
Welliver plays the title role in the TV series Bosch from Amazon Studios. The series is based on the novels centered on the character of the same name by Michael Connelly. The first season of the series was released on Amazon Prime Video on February 13, 2015.[6]
AudiobooksEdit
Welliver is also the narrator of several audiobooks, including Robert B. Parker's series of American western novels, 'Appaloosa', 'Brimstone', 'Blue-Eyed Devil' and 'Ironhorse'.

Oh how I love to try new things! How I love something that pushes me to think differently a bout supplies or the way I work. The ever inspiring Julia has offered us the chance to do just that with her now class at Get Messy: Pen + Ink. You are in for a treat when you take this class!
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Jules's style. She is the whole reason I decided to embark on the My Day Arted project. I just love the way she uses colours and lines and patterns in her art journaling. The best part? This class uses supplies you already have or can get for a pretty good price.
I just raided my kids' crayon box and found this handful of markers. I have lots of ink already from various brands like Sennelier, Liquitex, JB Herbin and Winsor and Newton. I keep them in these Ikea flower pots!
As soon as I got the class, I went through a couple of the lessons. I immediately pressed pause and had to try out all the techniques. I am especially mesmerized by the interaction between ink and water. So I started with that.
For the moment, I am using watercolour paper, remnants from books I have bound. I am thinking about dedicating a journal to this class, after seeing Katie's, Ashley's and Riet's journals!
Just in love with these phantom landscapes.
My biggest takeaway from the class so far is how much fun can be had with colour markers or felt tips as Jules calls them. I just love the way they bleed and blend and these are not the expensive kind of markers too. It seems so simple but it is definitely an 'a-ha' moment for me.
Almost as good as watercolours!
I used a mix of felt tips and inks on the paper strips below, Aren't these colours so vibrant? Don't they give you so much energy? I also wasn't expecting to fall for colour in this way!
The techniques have found their way into my Daily Diary as well. I'm excited to play more and to see how I can incorporate them into my art journaling. This class fits in so perfectly with the Season of Colour. But what you learn can be applied to anything and it's absolutely possible to make it your own.
I invite you to check out Pen + Ink here, at 25$ it's a total steal. You will not regret it.

Dress Barn Erie
Dressbarn.com is an internet retailer of women's clothes. The company's name is a reference to Ascena, a former women's clothing retailer that operated from 1962 to 2019. Today, the company is owned by a Miami, Florida-based corporation called Retail Ecommerce Ventures. Founded in 1962, the company has more than 18,000 employees. Multiple brick-and-mortar shops are also owned by the company. The company was founded by two brothers and has grown at a rapid rate.
The rise of the company to prominence began in mid-1960s when Elliot Jaffe, a merchandising manager at Connecticut's department store, was involved. Roslyn Jaffe, Jaffe's wife, approached him with a plan for a discount clothing store for women. They began to plan a test store together. Elliot kept his Macy's job to support the family, but worked late to open the first Dress Barn.
Although Dressbarn had long been a brick-and-mortar retailer, it had never focused on ecommerce. Its retail network was a major part of its success, and ecommerce represented less than 20% of the brand's overall revenue. Still, Dressbarn's new strategy has enabled it to grow at a rate of 100% per quarter. Its online retail network has expanded, and it has increased its ecommerce site's growth by 45% since April.
Although the company's first store opened 45 years ago, it has been managed by the same family ever since. Although the company has had to change its name and focus many times, it has maintained its target customer base. Vivian Behrens is the current chief marketing officer and senior vice president of the company. Although it is unclear what the future holds for Dressbarn, its success was largely determined in part by how it managed its transition.
Founded by Roslyn and Elliot Jaffe in 1962, Dressbarn has experienced several changes over the years. In 2011, the company became part of the Ascena Retail Group. Tai Lopez bought the Dressbarn brand in 2015 and founded Retail Ecommerce Ventures. The company plans to relaunch its website in January 2020. Although Dressbarn is closing most of its stores, the brand will continue to thrive online under a new ownership.
Dressbarn's target audience is composed of moderate-income women between 35 and 54 years old. These women are employed in "pink collar" jobs and have families. They want to feel stylish and keep up with the latest trends. To help them achieve this, the company has unique marketing strategies. Its employees also post live shows on social networks and hire fashion bloggers. These live shows provide customers with an in-person experience. Fashion bloggers and live show videos are designed to connect employees with customers.
After nearly 60 years of operating, Dressbarn is now winding down its retail operations. It will eventually close approximately 625 locations. The company has not yet revealed the exact closing dates. All Dressbarn employees will be working with the parent company during this transition. The company will continue to honor merchandise credit cards as well as gift cards. The stores will be closed by December 26. Customers can shop at Dressbarn's online store as usual.

Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal: Falling in Love Letters
Posted on February 29, 2016 by ronbase — 1 Comment
Before the other night, the last time I saw Ryan O'Neal was on an elevator at Toronto's Park Plaza Hotel. He was accompanied by his daughter, Tatum O'Neal, Helga Stephenson, at the time the Toronto film festival's director of communications, and longtime pal, Lee Majors, television's Six Million Dollar Man.
As the elevator reached the ground floor, Lee turned to Ryan to say goodbye. "By the way," he said, "when you get to L.A., do me a favor and look up Farrah. Make sure she's all right."
Farrah, of course, was Farrah Fawcett-Majors, at the time Lee's wife. Ryan did as his pal asked. Farrah and Ryan promptly fell in love, and the rest is a certain amount of tabloid-fed show business history.
Until then, Ryan O'Neal's central claim to fame was Love Story, the literary and movie phenomenon of 1970. The film and the subsequent bestselling novel were both written by a Harvard professor, Erich Segal. I got to know Toronto author and journalist Merle Shain who had once dated Segal. She told me that at one point in their relationship, before he wrote the book, they had a terrible fight. Segal phoned to apologize. "Erich," Merle responded, "love means never having to say you're sorry."
The rest is, well, more show business history.
In my life as a journalist, I never encountered Ali MacGraw. She blazed so brightly and was extinguished so quickly, but she left a generation of young men, myself included, slightly dazed and not a little lovesick in the wake of her appearances in Goodbye, Columbus and Love Story.
So when it was announced that O'Neal and his Love Story co-star were appearing in a road show production of Love Letters, A.R. Gurney's enduring two-hander, I had more than passing interest.
Hand-in-hand on a recent Saturday night, Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal came onto the stage at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Fort Myers, Florida. Iconic Jenny and Oliver are long gone. She is seventy-seven (her birthday is April 1); on April 20 he turns seventy-five.
The coltish beauty who married movie mogul Robert Evans and then ran off with Steve McQueen when they made The Getaway together, resembles someone's elegant grandmother, still slim, her gray-streaked hair pulled back into a bun.
O'Neal, the California kid who started out as a boxer before movie stardom and a whole lot of unpleasant headlines involving children on drugs and the death of Farrah Fawcett, has put on weight and a pair of glasses. Now he could play the Ray Milland part of the wealthy father in Love Story.
This night they are Melissa and Andrew, not so far from Jenny and Oliver, except this time she is rich and he is not so rich. Seated at a table on a bare stage they face the audience and read the letters addressed to each other over a tempestuous fifty-year friendship. MacGraw is still the free spirit, goading and poking at the preppy O'Neal through two lives swerving from childhood to college and careers, marriages and divorces, success and failures, the two of them alternately fighting to be together and to stay apart. Are they friends or lovers—or both?
Gurney's play inhabits a stylish fantasy land wherein the participants have money, go to Ivy League schools, pursue interesting careers, and in an age when no one writes such things, manage to write letters that are often more like smart volleys in an ongoing tennis match.
Reading back and forth seated on a stage is not generally regarded as the way to keep modern audiences mesmerized. But somehow Love Letters works a certain magic, aided by Gurney's wit and restrained sense of pathos and also by surprisingly fine performances from the two stars. As much as we all loved Ali MacGraw in her brief heyday, she was never much of an actress. By the time the producers of Love Letters came knocking, she had long since retired to Santa Fe, New Mexico to pursue her interest in yoga and put acting behind her.
However, on stage in Fort Myers she delivers a delightfully natural and nuanced performance as a brittle, witty young women spinning into middle age and beyond, battered along the way by alcohol abuse and bad marriages.
O'Neal, as he did in Love Story, must carry much of the emotional load, and he does this exceedingly well as the conservative college jock growing into prosperity, the law, and, eventually, the U.S. senate, all the while trying to put the love of his life behind him—discovering he can't quite do it. He must forever write her one more letter.
As Love Letters unfolds over the course of an hour and a half, it evokes a series of emotions and memories, thoughts of loves won and lost, of time passing—the young man encountering the movie star on an elevator; a fragile Merle Shain fondly recalling how she inadvertently provided the catch phrase that has long outlived her.
At the end, there is a damnable but unavoidable catch in the throat, the emotion you swear you are going to avoid, but that you can't as Ali and Ryan take their bows and then, shamelessly playing to audience expectations, kiss before exiting, wrapped in each other's arms.
You leave the theatre, walking into a cooling Florida night, hugging the co-star of your own love story a little more closely.

The president of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar () is the head of state and constitutional head of government of Myanmar. The president chairs the National Defence and Security Council and normally leads the Cabinet of Myanmar, the executive branch of the Burmese government, though the military prime minister leads the cabinet under the current state of emergency. The current president is Myint Swe, who assumed the presidency in an acting capacity through a military coup d'état on 1 February 2021. Though a constitutionally powerful position, the presidency is a largely symbolic post under the current military government, with Myint Swe appearing only to rubber-stamp military rule.

The president is elected by members of parliament, not by the general population; specifically the Presidential Electoral College, a three-committee body composed of members of parliament, elects the president. Each of the three committees, made up of Amyotha Hluttaw, Pyithu Hluttaw members of parliament, or military-appointed lawmakers, nominates a candidate for presidency.

After the 2015 election, the extraconstitutional post of State Counsellor of Myanmar was created for Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the majority party, the National League for Democracy, because she was ineligible for the presidency. She served as the de facto head of government until she was deposed in the 2021 coup d'état by Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Min Aung Hlaing, who created the extraconstitutional posts of chairman of the State Administration Council and prime minister for himself to lead the government.

Leadership roles
The president is the head of state and head of government. The position of President was created in 1948, with the adoption of the Burmese Declaration of Independence from the United Kingdom. Since then, eleven people have held the office (with two of them doing so on multiple occasions).

Due to the country's long period of military rule, it has not been uncommon for the prime minister to be a serving (or recently retired) military officer. The actual power of the prime minister has considerably varied over time, differing based on who holds the office. In 2004, a power struggle between the then–head of state, Senior General Than Shwe, chairman of the State Peace and Development Council, and his President, General Khin Nyunt, resulted in the prime minister being dismissed and arrested.

The prime minister position was abolished on 30 March 2011, according to the current Constitution (adopted in 2008). It provided that the president is both the head of state and de jure head of government. But after the 2015 general election, as Aung San Suu Kyi was constitutionally barred from becoming President, a position called State Counsellor, similar to the position of Prime Minister, was established for her in 2016. She served as the de facto head of government and the dominant state figure until she was removed with the 2021 coup d'état.

Qualifications
The Constitution of Myanmar sets the principle qualifications that the candidate must meet to be eligible to the office of the President. in Chapter 1: The President, Part I: The Federation of Myanmar in the Constitution of Myanmar. President has to be:
 A citizen of Myanmar.
 At least 45 years of age.
 Qualified to be elected as member of the National Assembly.

According to the Constitution of Myanmar, the president:
 shall be loyal to the Union and its citizens;
 shall be a citizen of Myanmar who was born of both parents who were born in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Union and being Myanmar Nationals;
 shall be an elected person who has attained at least the age of 45;
 shall be well acquainted with the affairs of the Union such as political, administrative, economic and military;
 shall be a person who has resided continuously in the Union for at least 20 years up to the time of his election as President(Proviso: An official period of stay in a foreign country with the permission of the Union shall be counted as a residing period in the Union)
 shall he himself, one of the parents, the spouse, one of the legitimate children or their spouses not owe allegiance to a foreign power, not be subject of a foreign power or citizen of a foreign country. They shall not be persons entitled to enjoy the rights and privileges of a subject of a foreign government or citizen of a foreign country;
 shall possess prescribed qualifications of the President, in addition to qualifications prescribed to stand for election to the Hluttaw.

Moreover, upon taking oath in office, the president is constitutionally forbidden from taking part in any political party activities (Chapter III, 64).

Election process
The president is not directly elected by Burmese voters; instead, they are indirectly elected by the Presidential Electoral College (), an electoral body made of three separate committees. One committee is composed of MPs who represent the proportions of MPs elected from each Region or State; another is composed of MPs who represent the proportions of MPs elected from each township population; the third is of military-appointed MPs personally nominated by the Defence Services' commander-in-chief.

Each of the three committees nominates a presidential candidate. Afterward, all the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw MPs vote for one of three candidates—the candidate with the highest number of votes is elected president, while the other two are elected as vice-presidents. The president serves for a term of 5 years. Should a president resign for any reason or die in office, the Presidential Electoral College will meet and each of the three committees will nominate a candidate to finish out the prior President's term so that the terms of the legislature and presidency are synchronised. The candidate who receives the most votes from the nominees is elected.

This process is similar to the one prescribed by the 1947 Constitution, in which MPs from the Parliament's Chamber of Nationalities and Chamber of Deputies elected the president by secret ballot. The President was then responsible for appointing a prime minister (on the advice of the Chamber of Deputies), who was constitutionally recognised as the head of government and led the Cabinet.

History
Before independence, Myanmar had two quasi-constitutions, The government of Burma Act, 1935 and Constitution of Burma under Japanese occupation, 1943. After independence, Myanmar adopted three constitutions in 1947, 1974 and 2008. The 2008 constitution is the present constitution of Myanmar.

Before Independence
Prior to 1863, different regions of modern-day Burma were governed separately. From 1862 to 1923, the colonial administration, housed in Rangoon's Secretariat building, was headed by a chief commissioner (1862–1897) or a lieutenant-governor (1897–1923), who headed the administration, underneath the governor-general of India.

From 31 January 1862 to 1 May 1897, British Burma was headed by a chief commissioner. The subsequent expansion of British Burma, with the acquisitions of Upper Burma and the Shan States throughout this period increased the demands of the position, and led to an upgrade in the colonial leadership and an expansion of government (Burma was accorded a separate government and legislative council in 1897).

Consequently, from 1 May 1897 to 2 January 1923, the province was led by a lieutenant governor. In 1937, Burma was formally separated from British India and began to be administered as a separate British colony, with a fully elected bicameral legislature, consisting of the Senate and House of Representatives. From 2 January 1923 to 4 January 1948, British Burma was led by a Governor, who led the cabinet and was responsible for the colony's defence, foreign relations, finance, and ethnic regions (Frontier Areas and Shan States). From 1 January 1944 to 31 August 1946, a British military governor governed the colony. During the Japanese occupation of Burma from 1942 to 1945, a Japanese military commander headed the government, while the British-appointed governor headed the colony in exile.

Burma became independent in 1948. There was a president from 1948 to 1962, and then 1974 and 1988. Between 1962 and 1974 and between 1988 and 2011, Burma was headed by military regimes. The office of the president was restored in 2011.

1947 Constitution
The 1947 constitution was drafted by Chan Htoon and was used from the country's independence in 1948 to 1962, when the constitution was suspended by the socialist Union Revolutionary Council, led by military general Ne Win. The national government consisted of three branches: judicial, legislative and executive. The legislative branch was a bicameral legislature called the Union Parliament, consisting of two chambers, the 125-seat Chamber of Nationalities ( Lumyozu Hluttaw) and the Chamber of Deputies ( Pyithu Hluttaw), whose seat numbers were determined by the population size of respective constituencies. The 1947 constitution was largely based on the 1946 Yugoslav Constitution, and several Burmese officials visited Zabeleska o razgovoru druga Price sa predstavnikom burmanske vlade Maung Ohn, dana 5 decembra 1947 godine [Minutes of conversation between comrade Prica and the representative of the Burmese Government Maung Ohn, December 5th 1947].

1974 Constitution
Approved in a 1973 referendum, the 1974 constitution was the second constitution to be written. It created a unicameral legislature called the People's Assembly (Pyithu Hluttaw), represented by members of the Burma Socialist Programme Party The Constitution of the Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma. Each term was 4 years. Ne Win became the president at this time.

Between 1988 and 2008
Upon taking power in September 1988, the military based State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) suspended the 1974 constitution. The SLORC called a constitutional convention in 1993, but it was suspended in 1996 when the National League for Democracy (NLD) boycotted it, calling it undemocratic. The constitutional convention was again called in 2004, but without the NLD. Myanmar remained without a constitution until 2008.

2008 Constitution

On 9 April 2008, the military government of Myanmar (Burma) released its proposed constitution for the country to be put to a vote in public referendum on 10 May 2008, as part of its roadmap to democracy. The constitution is hailed by the military as heralding a return to democracy, but the opposition sees it as a tool for continuing military control of the country.

2008 constitutional referendum

2012 by-elections
In spite of its earlier opposition to the 2008 constitution, the NLD participated in the 2012 by-election for 46 seats and won a landslide victory, with Aung San Suu Kyi becoming a member of parliament, alongside 42 others from her party.

2015 election

On 15 March 2016, the Assembly of the Union elected Htin Kyaw as the 9th president of Myanmar. He resigned on 21 March 2018 and Myint Swe became acting president.

On 28 March 2018, the Assembly of the Union elected Win Myint as the 10th president of Myanmar.

Chairman Xu Jusheng Attends IKTVA Forum Expo upon Invitation
January 7, 2019 By Jenny
Mr. Xu Junsheng, Chairman of JNG, was invited by Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, to lead a delegation to Saudi Arabia for the 5th Saudi Kingdom Total Value Enhancement Project (IKTVA) Forum Expo from November 26th to 27th, 2018.
During the event, Chairman Xu met with Mr. Ahmad Al Sa' adi, Senior Vice President of Saudi Aramco. Mr. Al Sa' adi arranged a special meeting for the technical and business teams of both parties. On the meeting, Mr Chairman and Mr. Al Sa' adi made analysis and summary of the progress of the cooperation between the two parties on the previous specific projects, discussed and studied the issues of concerns to both parties, agreed on the solutions, negotiated and confirmed the future development direction of cooperation. Mr. Al Sa' adi expressed his hope to speed up the progress in terms of cooperation on projects, and immediately designated a point of contact to ensure that the two teams can continue to keep a close dialogue and strive to bring JNG's EADS technology to the Middle East as soon as possible.
At the beginning of this year, Saudi Aramco had sent a technical team to China to learn about JNG' s corporate and project profiles. They had also completed their internal technological research and examination of JNG' s technologies. During Mr. Al Sa' adi's to China in September afterwards, regardless of busy schedules, he managed to meet the JNG executives at their Shanghai office which showed his recognition of EADS technology as well as the determination to employ the service from JNG for Saudi Aramco in the near future.
