here We are in 2017, a happy new year ! As you spend these first hours of the year on a beach, in family, at work, at The Meeting, in the metropolis or elsewhere, we hope that you begin 2017 surrounded by those that are dear to you.
Finally, it is the end of 2016, some might say. Because of the 366 days that have gone by, we remember often the worst. The news has been marked by deadly attacks in Nice, Berlin, Orlando, or even Istanbul, the martyrdom of the syrian people or migrants runs aground in the Mediterranean.
These shock waves were felt up to The Meeting, even if it is his famous "live together", is not spared from the fear and the spectre of racism. The topics that divide the Natives are still numerous, in the image of the crisis sharks, which goes on to fuel the controversy. The ends of months are always challenging and unemployment continues to increase at The Meeting, while it decreases for three months at the national level.
2017 arrives with his deadlines crucial. In 2016, voters have bucked the opinion polls in the United Kingdom, which has opted for Brexit, and the United States, who have chosen Donald Trump. What to do to shake the French political class, as it prepares for the presidential election.
It is illusory to expect that the year 2017 is good news. After all, why would a simple date change could change the face of the world ? In spite of everything, every first day of the year, many of us keep the hope that the worst is behind us and that the best is yet to come. It is this hope that we want to celebrate today, wishing you, for the 17th consecutive year, an excellent year. All our wishes of health, success and happiness.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your support. You’re loyal readers, commentators and regular, our editors time, the "haters" desperate, or secret admirers, we thank you for being there, more and more many, to be demanding and pushing us to always do better.
hearings on the evening of Friday 30 December 2016.

"Dare to say no !" this has been titled the last advertising campaign to promote road safety. As usual, he was asked some celebrities to pass on the message facing the camera. Enora Malagré has lent itself to the exercise with his usual absence of language of wood. However, by intervening as well, the moderator 36-year-old did not raise the bronca of internet users, yet this is what just happened.
In question, the content of the personal history that she has shared, and whose message may seem inappropriate. It is said, indeed, that there was about a dozen years, she refused to get into a car with a friend heavily soaked "by litres of mojito".
"You said no once, twice, three times… and we are happy to say no. Because today one is in life. And he, unfortunately, on the way, ben is dead." Except that in place of the courage that she claims, the users have seen that a lack of clarity. Some complain that, in effect, to Enora Malagré, in his narrative for having left his friend, "stuffed" take the road and then be killed at the wheel.
But if the debate is open, it’s just taken a sharp turn for the more brutal with including the tweet of a rare violence posted by Muriel Cousin. The wife of Stéphane Guillon did not hesitate a qualifier for the brittany C8 "idiot" in a first message, and then to sink the nail in a second tweet stepping up the insults against the host.

You make its prevention campaigns ? Answer : no ! So instead of tweeting from the bottom of your sofa ! Move you, stop this struggle moved that a lack of discernment ! C is pathetic, there are limits !", she especially posted.
2016 was a record year for the cinema, thanks to films of the giant californian, with “Zootopie” and currently ” Vaiana “.
C‘is a record for cinema attendance in France. After 2011, marked by the phenomenon of ” Untouchables “, 2016 shows the best result history for the past fifty years. This year, 213 million cinema tickets were sold in the Hexagon. A sales increase of 3.6 % compared to 2015, already an excellent thought. If no film has surpassed 5 million entries (as of 2015, there were three of them : “Star Wars : Awakening of the Force “, “Minions” and ” Jurassic World “), 46 have attracted more than a million spectators in the cinema — including 18 French films.
For once, it is a mouse that has given birth to a mountain : the record 2016 is in large part due to the exceptional year of Disney. With his own films and those of his licenses, or subsidiaries such as Marvel and Lucasfilm, the studio occupies four places in the top 10 : “Zootopie “, “Vaiana “”Rogue One : a Star Wars Story” and ” the jungle Book “. Disney attracts more than 20 million spectators in cinemas, in addition to the 5 million who have seen ” Star Wars 7 “, released in December, 2015, after the 1 st January. Among these cards, the works of very different kinds : animation, science-fiction, an adaptation of a classic… “See the two animated films of the Disney studios of the year, Zootopie and Vaiana, in the top 10, this had never happened,” said a delighted Jean-François Camilleri, president for France of The Walt Disney Company. For him, this success is the result of t he policy of Alan Horn, the head of Walt Disney Studios, which combines ” a willingness to give both the means and the freedom.”
in recent years, the group has also expanded : Disney has swallowed the animation studio Pixar (against 7.6 Bn$ in 2006, or about 7.2 MdsEUR), Marvel (4 Bn$ in 2009) and Lucasfilm (4 Bn$ in 2012, approximately 3.8 MdsEUR). Investments that prove to be highly profitable, and not only in France : in the international, Disney is offering a record year with 7 us$ Bn revenue. This is the famous “global strategy” mentioned by Jean-François Camilleri : the group is betting on movies that are capable of seducing the whole world.
it allows our rooms to break a record, the weight of Disney movies in France, combined with that of feature-length films such as ” Deadpool “, “Like animals” or ” fantastic Animals “, proves the dominance of hollywood on our box office. Nine of the ten films seen in france in 2016 are americans…
The attendance record shows, in any case, the excellent health of the cinema, whereas in other cultural sectors such as publishing, the theatre or the musical have suffered this year, partly because of the attacks of November 2015. “The film continues to be a local medium, to the difference of the theatre which has suffered from the decline in travel from the provinces to the capital after the 13 November “, analysis Jean-François Camilleri. The excellent scores of films on television has not prevented the French from going into the dark halls. 2016 : year the film buff.

A long slender body, impeccable style, elegance, and perfect, not a precision without fault, variations extremely bright, but without that virtuosity does not display ostentatiously : assuming the role of prince Siegfried in “Swan Lake”, with the beautiful partner, the ballerina Ludmilla Pagliero, the dancer Germain Louvet, could it be doubt that it would be named star of the Ballet of the Paris Opera house the night of the performance on December 28, on the stage of the Opera of the Bastille ?
Appointment early, but earned
Already noticed by Benjamin Millepied, who was chosen for one of his creations, Germain Louvet, had recently been promoted to first dancer of the Ballet of the Opera of Paris, a title which was to enter into force on 1 January 2017. But now her performances in “Swan Lake” off his young career, and sprayed the last steps of the “cursus honorum”. 23 years old, this appointment star desired by Aurélie Dupond is actually early, but she seems undeniably deserved in view of his talent.
a Pure product of the French school
Born in burgundy in 1993, at Givry, near Chalon-sur-Saône (which makes him – the poor ! – a Givrotin), Germain Louvet took his first steps of student-dancer, in a private institution, and then in the conservatory of the region, before moving on to the ballet School of the Opera in 2005. In this respect, it is a pure product of the French school, sober and elegant, but also a bit pale on the stage, not expressive enough, too erased again on the plane dramatic. But at his age, this may not be a weakness. If it is as sensitive as it seems, the maturity will give the theatre a presence and a radiance that will magnify his brilliant technique.
Close to 100,000 spectators
The triumph of Germain Louvet, one cannot fail to associate the dancer Ludmila Pagliero and the dancer Karl Paquette, its major partners in “Swan Lake”. And we could also, if only for one night, confer the title of star in the corps de ballet women. During this same evening of 28 December, precisely, dancers and soloists and the corps de ballet of the Paris Opera house proved to be incomparable poetry and beauty during the Fourth act of the work of Tchaikovsky and Petipa. On stage throughout the month of December for more than 40 representations, with two different programs in the two theatres of the Opéra de Paris, place de l’opéra and place de la Bastille, the paris Opera Ballet has seen rush in any 97.300 spectators.
Since the death of the singer, Fadi Fawaz is One of the world’s newspapers.
Fadi Fawaz is the man who discovered the morning of Christmas, the lifeless body of George Michael. The young man of 43 years was his companion since 2011, his confidant, his lover, and much more. He is now totally devastated by the loss of being so loved. It is on Twitter that he had chosen to share her just a few hours after the tragedy. “This is a Christmas that I won’t forget it. Find his partner died peacefully in his bed… You don cesseras, me miss”.

Since the death of George Michael, the name of Fadi Fawaz is in all the newspapers, posted in One of the world’s media. However, before covering the death of singer, a person was not really the one who shared the life of George for several years. The couple has been throughout their relationship very discreet, not showing ever in the social gatherings, which do no actual formalization on a red carpet. It is little to say if the only photos of Fadi and George together have only been taken by paparazzi !
In his professional life, Fadi Fawaz is an accomplished man. No need to George Michael to shine. Of lebanese origin, after a childhood in Australia, Fadi becomes a hairstylist to the stars, recognized by the entire profession. He has worked with the top Naomi Campbell, singer Nicole Sherzinger or even the actress Emily Blunt. But more broadly, it is he who has made these last years to George Michael the stability, the happiness, and especially peace of mind.
For this last Christmas, George and Fadi had everything organized. The two men wanted to spend December 25 together, in the house of the singer located in the district of Orfordshire, and enjoy this day to love a little more. Fate decided otherwise. “George was looking forward to Christmas… me too. Now, everything is ruined,” said Fadi in the “Telegraph”. “I want people to remember the person he was : a beautiful person”.
a Few days after the tragedy, on the Twitter account of Fadi, the profile picture and his bio had been changed. The young man appears to be kissing George on the cheek, with the caption in a few words : “You made me miss my life.”

The film, which revealed the american actress Debbie Reynolds, who passed away Wednesday, December 28, is a legend of the 7th art who continues to live on the boards, more than 60 years after its creation
Singing in the rain, a film that revealed the american actress Debbie Reynolds, who passed away Wednesday, December 28, only a few hours after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher, is the reference to musicals. A legend of the 7th art who continues to live on the boards today. More than 60 years after release, the film, co-directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen continues to inspire.
Under a ton of water, a man begins to dance with his umbrella, after having exchanged a kiss with her sister (Kathy, played by Debbie Reynolds). This scene dazzling dance and tap dance is engraved in the memories… even of those who do not know about the movie. However, at the time, Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly “didn’t know they were filming a scene mythical, tells the AFP Patrick Niedo, a lecturer and specialist of the american musical.
it is a scene of anthology, it’s because she “exudes the simplicity and that there is no better idea than to dance of joy”, he says. For the anecdote, his shooting took two days and a half, during which the costume wool Gene Kelly narrowed as outlets, because of… the rain!
Shot in 1952, a year after the success ofAn American in Paris, also with Gene Kelly, Singing in the rain (“Singin’ in the Rain” in the original version) takes place in 1927, when the film switches from silent to speaking, leaving in the path of the stars unable to meet this challenge. A film about the behind the scenes of the “7th art” in sum, where Don Lockwood (Gene Kelly) tries to adapt to this new situation. This will be accomplished after his meeting with Kathy.
Festival of color, song and dance numbers, Singing in the rain is also a “feel good movie“, combining a love story and rise to fame of a young woman. Oscars in 1953, he was named in two categories: best supporting actress (Jean Hagen) and best music film, to finally win any award.
from the 1980s, “Singing in the rain” has been brought to the stage, much to the chagrin of Stanley Donen, who notably hated the adaptation to Broadway in 2003. “They wanted to play the film, it wasn’t very clever: it would have been better to invent something completely different,” told to AFP in 2010. The musical has also been performed in London in 1983, Broadway in 1986, then again in London in 2000. In Paris, it was still on display last year at the théâtre du Châtelet, staged by the Canadian Robert Carsen.
Sacred to the Oscars, the French film The Artist( 2011) also describes the upheaval caused in the years 20 by the arrival of the talkies in Hollywood, paying homage to Singing in the rain. Jean Dujardin embodies George Valentin, an actor famous in the silent film that sees its star fade with the arrival of the talking, while the young extra Peppy Miller (Bérénice Bejo) rises to stardom. But where Singing in the rain exploded with colour and music, the film by Michel Hazanavicius stays faithful to the codes of the silent movie in black and white.

Expert geographer, a specialist in geopolitics, international relations, and anthropologist, Jean-Christophe Victor died Wednesday at the age of 69 years. He was best known for having created and introduced The underside of cards, a weekly program of Arte) which was based on the maps, history and geography to “understand” the geopolitical and current events.
His last two broadcasts were devoted to the Oceans without fish and News of the Antarctic.
Questioned by The Express, Pascal Boniface, the director of the Institute of international and strategic relations (IRIS), held to pay tribute to him.
That wanted to send Jean-Christophe Victorabove all?
He wanted to make others understand, to make the pedagogy, making explicit and clear to the greater number of complicated things. He wanted to show that the issues of geopolitical were not aimed at the elite, he wanted to share them to all, as well by its emissions as its atlas, including the one he has recently published [The underside of the cards. Asia, routes, geo-political].
What does it bring to the tv ?
It was he who brought the first the material on the small screen. He has played this pioneering role, and it was an innovation at the time of success to speak of geopolitics at the tv without scaring them away, but instead retaining an audience. It was not the only one working in this direction, but it has contributed to the interest of the greatest number to the geopolitical.
What will you remember him? What have been your professional relationships?
“When I published The year strategic in 1985, it served me as a driver. When I wrote Intellectual integrity in 2013,, I devoted a chapter in [Pascal Boniface had placed his portrait alongside Stéphane Hessel or Régis Debray]. I remember of him is that he has never traded and has never issued an opinion in order to please someone or to avoid displeasing.
