For its part, the base de Los angeles Lakers, Derek Fisher, who is President of the players Union, also admitted that they were very far to find a common point that would make possible fruitful negotiations. Again, the issue that blocks the entire negotiation process is the section of the distribution of the money they have to receive the players and owners considered will have to be reduced from 57 percent during the last year of the old Convention to between 40 percent. A calendar of meetings the only thing achieved in the new meeting was to establish some kind of calendar that would facilitate the widest possible meetings during the entire month of August.

Dutch Origins

American author Russell Shorto has presented his new book, Manhattan in Barcelona. The secret history of New York. It’s an essay that dive in the city’s lesser-known past and the impact that the Dutch settlers had in its genesis. American author Russell Shorto presented Friday in Barcelona his new book, Manhattan. The secret history of New York (Duomo), an essay that dive in the city’s lesser-known past and the impact that the Dutch settlers had in its genesis. After an exhaustive investigation, Shorto has discovered that the Dutch were the first to occupy the territory where today lies the city of New York, and that social and cultural patterns of these settlers influenced decisively in the configuration of the city.

The Dutch in New York influence was very important in the 17TH century and settled the bases of tolerance, multiculturalism and commercial freedom that today boasts city, it has secured Shorto at press conference, recalling that during more than half a century the City was known by the name of new Amsterdam. Rudy Giuliani is often quoted on this topic. The writer, who resides in the Dutch capital, has lamented that when Americans think about their own genesis refer to cities in Virginia and New England, and the history of the English and Puritan colonists, but never refer to the past of New York because it is much more complex and varied. Some 10,000 settlers originating from the Netherlands arrived in United States in search of a future better and they realized that they were in a position of weakness against the native Indians, since they were less in number and needed them to market, and do business. Why decided to reach an agreement with the different tribes in the area: there is an urban legend that ensures that the Dutch bought the territory now occupied by New York for $24, but what really happened is that they came to an arrangement of friendship with the Indians, which closed with the transfer of food and utensils for that value, but was rather a ceremonious gift, Shorto has pointed out. The DNA of New York is Dutch after that episode, the Dutch settled the area of Manhattan and established a society based on the maxims of his country – the multiculutralidad, the idea of free trade and freedom of religion-, aspects which were adopted by the British when they conquered the territory and that you have configured the DNA of New York with a very different style from the rest of United States. In addition, the influence of settlers from the Netherlands is still present in the territory between Manhattan and Albany, in a multitude of small details: food, the names of many peoples, and language that some people speak in their homes which is an archaic Dutch, precisely in the 17TH century. History of that half-century is fascinating and turbulent, noted Shorto, who added that that period is starring characters who lived through impossible situations as the last Dutch director-general of the colony, Peter Stuyvesant; lawyer Adriaen Van der Donck, and politician Peter Minuit. All these characters could be the stars of a movie, since the writer has received offers Hollywood to adapt his essay to the big screen, in what could become a prequel to the popular Gangs of New York, has joked.

Klein is the photographer most sought after by the industry of fashion and marketing. The exhibition of Sao Paulo is the largest mounted about his work. To his critics, he is a clown. For friends (Madonna, Lady Gaga and Brad Pitt), among them the last genius. Whatever the verdict, the pockets and the agenda of the American photographer Steven Klein (New York, 1965) are just as full.

During recent years it has become the most sought-after professional by the fashion industry and the marketing of the celebrity. The same signed editorials in magazines more trendy, as W – where put Madonna to do yoga or riding-; makes album covers, like Britney (2001), the third album Studio of Britney Spears or Lady Gaga Alejandro marks the realization of the video clip. Forty photos, two triptychs, 27 Polaroid and various videos now the work of Klein comes to museums with USAnatomy (play on words between the EE UU stands and the word anatomy, Anatomy), an exhibition at the Museu Brasileiro da Esculura de Sao Paulo, the most comprehensive exhibition ever mounted on this controversial photographer. Sample, with forty photos, two large triptychs, 27 images with large format Polaroid film and several videos, is an anthology of the works of Klein in the past fifteen years. Of course, their models remove the hiccups to any fan of the celebrities: Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, David Beckham, Natalie Portman, Prince, Naomi Campbell photographer, which has gained in notoriety to be the professional prrido to shape his public image by Madonna – who made pictures of the albums Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005) and Hard Candy (2008), clips for multimedia shows of the tours of the singer and the video installation X-STTIC PRO = CeSS (2003)-, has a style quite thug. Klein likes to play with pop celebrities who portrays, dramatizing shocking situations in appearance (Timberlake appears as a victim of a beating, for example) and using all the manipulative possibilities of digital photography.

The photographer, who refuses to call his style, art it has also fully entered the realm of fashion, managing campaigns for major companies in the sector, such as Calvin Klein, D & G, Alexander McQueen and Nike. Usually take each campaign to shoot short films on video: Lara, Fiction Noir (2009) reached some degree of controversy for his sadomasochistic images. Despite the fame, Klein said in a recent interview that he feels frustrated because do not want you to continue manufacturing dreams about Barbie dolls that have never existed and as a photographer I would like to reflect what is happening in the world.
