<mask> (; ca. 1492 – 26 July 1527), known as the Black was a Serb military commander in the service of the Kingdom of Hungary who took advantage of a Hungarian military defeat at Mohács and subsequent struggle over the Hungarian throne to carve out his own state in the southern Pannonian Plain. He styled himself emperor (tsar). <mask> is attributed by Serbian historians as the founder of Vojvodina and the leader of the last independent Serbian state before the Ottoman conquest. Origin
An ethnic Serb, he was born ca. 1492 in Lipova near the Mureş River in northern Banat (present-day Romania). Other facts about his origins are uncertain; he himself claimed to be "a descendant of Serbian and Byzantine rulers", although other contemporaries thought that he was a descendant of the Serbian despots or that he was a man of low rank.He was of medium height, slender, and highly moral and pious. His contemporaries called him "the Black Man" because of a strange birthmark which many considered a divine mark: "he had a dark stripe, one finger wide, starting at the right temple of his head and running in a straight line over his body down to his right foot". Military career

In the Battle of Mohács on 29 August 1526, the Ottoman Empire destroyed the army of Hungarian-Czech King Louis Jagellion, who was killed on the battlefield. After this battle, the Kingdom of Hungary became divided in three parts: Royal Hungary in the north and west became a Habsburg province, Transylvania in the east became an independent state, while the former central and southern parts of the Kingdom of Hungary were absorbed by the Ottoman Empire. As King Louis had no children, Hungary was divided into two parties: one elected John Zápolya, a respected Hungarian noble, while the other declared for the King of Hungary a Habsburg, Ferdinand, Louis' brother-in-law. A part of this struggle was the leader of Serb mercenaries, <mask> <mask>. Right after Mohács, <mask> Nenad appeared between Tisza and Danube as a leader of a Serb regiment.He quickly drove the Ottomans from Bačka and parts of Banat and Syrmia, which he then ruled independently. At first he sided with the Zapolyai, however, after the Hungarian nobility of Bačka estranged him from John Zápolya (who also refused to acknowledge Nenad's territory), he decided to support the Habsburg pretender, Ferdinand, in the beginning of 1527. The conflict with the Hungarian nobility arose when Hungarian refugees were refused to return to their rightful properties in Bačka, which Nenad saw as his. With his forces he continued to pillage Hungarian estates and villages and terrorized the Hungarian population. This turned against him not just the Hungarian nobility but villagers and peasants as well. He named Radoslav Čelnik the general commander of his army, while his emissaries to foreign rulers were Fabijan Literat, a Franciscan from Ilok, Ivan Dolić, the castellan of Bač from Irig. His treasurer and palatine was Subota Vrlić from Jagodina.Besides his main army, he also organized a personal guard numbering 600 soldiers. His army grew by drawing Serbs from Ottoman territory, Vlachs from Banat and Transylvania, and also some Roman Catholics, and by the beginning of 1527, it numbered around 15,000 men. It is believed that the cooperation of Orthodox and Catholic Slavs was the key of his later success. By the time of the reign of <mask> <mask>, Serbs had already considerable populations in the southern Pannonian Plain, most notably in the Danube and Tisa regions (a region commonly known as "Rascia"). <mask> <mask> considered the struggle around the Hungarian throne just a temporary occupation, his primary task being the fight against the Ottomans for the liberation of the Serb lands. In the first half of 1527, Ferdinand was outside of Hungary, preparing for what would become the Hungarian campaign of 1527–28 to fight Zápolya. During that time, King Zápolya sent armies after <mask> <mask>, wishing to settle his internal affairs before Ferdinand could return to Hungary.Underestimating Nenad's strength, Zápolya sent 300 knights under László Csáky, which were defeated by <mask> <mask> in early April, Csáky himself was captured and executed. After this, <mask> <mask> rose to the peak of his power and he styled himself Emperor. Another Hungarian army was dispatched, led by the Voivode of Transylvania, Péter Perényi. It was defeated by late April near Tiszaszőlős (Battle of Szőlős) on the banks of the Tisza river. Finally, a second army, which encompassed the entire strength of Transylvania and upper Hungary, led by Perényi and Bishop Czibak decisively defeated Jovan's army in the Battle of Sződfalva, killing around 8,000 of his men. In an attempt to unite with the forces of Ferdinand, <mask> <mask> was severely wounded in Szeged. In his retreat towards Senta, he was intercepted and murdered in the village of Tornjoš.<mask> <mask>'s head was delivered to Zápolya and soon after his death the remainder of his army dispersed, which was the end of <mask> <mask>'s liberation movement. After <mask> <mask>'s death his general Radoslav Čelnik led the remains of the army to Ottoman Syrmia, where he ruled until 1530 as an Ottoman vassal, and then as a Habsburg subject. Legacy

As time passed, <mask> <mask> became a mythical figure to the Serbs. Many Serbian historians consider him the founder of contemporary Vojvodina, although in reality his insurrection was too short-lived and his reign too tumultuous to have a lasting impact. Subotica, the province's second largest city (which was once his capital) erected a monument to him bearing the inscription "Your thought has prevailed" (). In popular culture
In the 1942 Hollywood film, Cat People, a small statue of <mask> <mask> (albeit referenced as "King John of Serbia"), plays a central role in developing the underlying mythological basis of the film's plot. The statue is of <mask> <mask> on horseback holding up an impaled cat on his sword.See also

<mask> (November 4, 1918 – March 18, 2012) was a newspaper sports writer and columnist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in Atlanta, Georgia. North Carolina beginnings

<mask> was born in Denton, North Carolina. From German immigrant stock, his parents named him for a regionally known Baptist minister, <mask>. After initially attending Furman University, Bisher attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a manager for the North Carolina Tar Heels football team. After graduating from UNC in 1938, he became the editor of the Lumberton Voice newspaper in Lumberton, North Carolina at the age of 20. During World War II, he served as a lieutenant (junior grade) in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945, editing a military newspaper and managing the Armed Services Radio Network in the South Pacific. After his military service ended, he went to work at the High Point Enterprise in High Point, North Carolina, and then the Charlotte News in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he became the sports editor in 1948.Bisher landed an interview with former professional baseball player Shoeless Joe Jackson in 1949—the first published interview with Jackson since the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. It was the only interview that the former Chicago White Sox outfielder and star hitter would ever give about his alleged involvement in the fixing of the 1919 World Series, and the old ballplayer maintained his innocence to the end, trusting only Bisher to tell his story. In an era when most other sports writers refused to acknowledge auto racing, he also covered the first stock car cup race in 1949—what would later become known as NASCAR. Atlanta institution

Bisher wrote his first column for The Atlanta Constitution on April 15, 1950, and became well known regionally and nationally during his fifty-nine years as a sports reporter, columnist and editor for the Constitution, its afternoon sister, The Atlanta Journal, and their combined successor, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Bisher also wrote articles and columns for The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, The Saturday Evening Post, and several other national publications. His final column for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was published online on Saturday, October 10, 2009, with the print version appearing in the October 11, 2009 Sunday paper. He became embroiled in a national controversy in 1962 after he contributed to an article for The Saturday Evening Post which alleged that the University of Georgia's former head football coach and then-current athletic director Wally Butts and coach Bear Bryant of the University of Alabama conspired to fix the outcome of a college football game.Bisher conducted several interviews for the story that were ultimately not used in the final published version of the article. In a libel suit brought by Butts, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Butts' favor. Bryant reached an out-of-court settlement with The Saturday Evening Post. Commenting on the controversy years later, Bisher called it the "Ugliest part of my career. . . . Some people in Alabama still think I wrote it." Time magazine named <mask> one of the nation's five best columnists in 1961. He is a member of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Hall of Fame, the University of North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame, the International Golf Writers Hall of Fame, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, the Atlanta Sports Hall of Fame, and the Atlanta Press Club Hall of Fame.He was chosen the Georgia Sportswriter of the Year on sixteen occasions, and recognized by the Associated Press for the best Georgia story of the year over twenty times. He received numerous other awards over the years, including the Associated Press Sports Editors' Red Smith Award, and the William D. Richardson Award from the Golf Writers Association of America. Bisher was the president of the Football Writers Association of America from 1959 to 1960, and the president of the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association from 1974 to 1976. He was an outspoken proponent of professional sports in Atlanta, and was a charter member of the Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium Authority at a time when it wasn't deemed a conflict of interest for a journalist to serve in such a capacity. He co-wrote the first autobiography of Hank Aaron, titled Aaron, RF upon its initial release in 1968. In 1974, with Aaron about to become the all-time home run king, Bisher added an afterword to include the seasons from 1968 through 1973. The new edition was simply titled Aaron, as the subject was no longer a right fielder.Bisher habitually signed off his columns with the Hebrew word "Selah" from the Book of Psalms. After retiring from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2009, he continued to write a column for the Gwinnett Daily Post in Gwinnett County, Georgia in suburban Atlanta, starting in January 2010. He estimated that he had written 15,000 daily sports columns, 1,200 magazine articles and more than a dozen books. Until the age of 90, Bisher held seniority over the hundreds of golf reporters and other sports journalists who descend on Augusta, Georgia, each April for the Masters Tournament. During the 2006 tournament, The Golf Channel profiled Bisher as the "dean" of Masters journalists. Bisher covered every Kentucky Derby since 1950, and every Super Bowl but the first. Death

He died from a heart attack on March 18, 2012.He was survived by his second wife Lynda and two of his three sons from his first marriage. Bibliography

<mask> "Pepe" <mask> (; born 20 May 1935) is a Uruguayan politician and farmer who served as the 40th President of Uruguay from 2010 to 2015. A former guerrilla with the Tupamaros, he was tortured and imprisoned for 14 years during the military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s. A member of the Broad Front coalition of left-wing parties, <mask> was Minister of Livestock, Agriculture, and Fisheries from 2005 to 2008 and a Senator afterwards. As the candidate of the Broad Front, he won the 2009 presidential election and took office as President on 1 March 2010. He has been described as "the world's humblest head of state" due to his austere lifestyle and his donation of around 90 percent of his $12,000 monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs. An outspoken critic of capitalism's focus on stockpiling material possessions which do not contribute to human happiness, Pepe is often seen riding his 60-year-old bicycle. The Times Higher Education called him the "philosopher president" in 2015, a play on words of Plato's conception of the philosopher king.Early life
<mask> was born on 20 May 1935, to Demetrio <mask>, of Spanish Basque ancestry, and Lucy Cordano, a daughter of Italian immigrants. <mask>'s father was a small farmer who went bankrupt shortly before his death in 1940, when his son was five. His mother's parents were very poor Italian immigrants from Liguria. Lucy Cordano was born in Carmelo, where her parents had bought  in Colonia Jose to cultivate vineyards. Between the ages of 13 and 17, <mask> cycled for several clubs in different categories. He was also active in the National Party, where he became close to Enrique Erro. Guerrilla

In the mid-1960s, he joined the newly formed MLN-Tupamaros movement, an armed political group inspired by the Cuban Revolution.He participated in the brief 1969 takeover of Pando, a town close to Montevideo, leading one of six squads assaulting strategic points in the city. <mask>'s team was charged with taking over the telephone exchange and was the only one to complete the operation without any mishaps. In March 1970 <mask> was gunned down while resisting arrest at a Montevideo bar; he injured two policemen and was in turn shot six times. The surgeon on call at the hospital saved his life. Tupamaros claimed that the surgeon was secretly Tupamaro and this is why his life was saved. In reality the doctor was simply following ordinary medical ethics. At the time, the president of Uruguay was the controversial Jorge Pacheco Areco, who had suspended certain constitutional guarantees in response to MLN and Communist unrest.In total <mask> was captured by the authorities on four occasions. He was among the more than 100 Tupamaros who escaped Punta Carretas Prison in September 1971 by digging from inside the prison a tunnel that opened up at the living room of a nearby home. <mask> was re-captured less than a month after escaping, but escaped Punta Carretas once more in April 1972. On that occasion he and about a dozen other escapees fled riding improvised wheeled planks down the tunnel dug by Tupamaros from outside the prison. He was re-apprehended for the last time in 1972, unable to resist arrest. In the months that followed, the country underwent the military coup in 1973. In the meantime, <mask> and eight other Tupamaros were especially chosen to remain under military custody and in squalid conditions.In all, he spent 13 years in captivity. During the 1970s and 1980s, this included being confined to the bottom of an old, emptied horse-watering trough for more than two years. During his time in prison, <mask> suffered a number of health problems, particularly mental issues. Although his two closest cellmates, Eleuterio Fernández Huidobro and Mauricio Rosencof, often managed to communicate with each other, they rarely managed to bring <mask> into the conversation. According to <mask> himself, at the time he was suffering from auditory hallucinations and related forms of paranoia. In 1985, when constitutional democracy was restored, <mask> was freed under an amnesty law that covered political and related military crimes committed since 1962. Several years after the restoration of democracy, <mask> and many Tupamaros joined other left-wing organizations to create the Movement of Popular Participation, a political party that was accepted within the Broad Front coalition.In the 1999 general elections, <mask> was elected deputy and in the elections of 1990 he was elected senator. Due in part to <mask>'s charisma, the MPP continued to grow in popularity and votes, and by 2004, it had become the largest of any faction within the Broad Front. In the elections of that year, <mask> was re-elected to the Senate, and the MPP obtained over 300,000 votes, thus consolidating its position as the top political force within the coalition and a major force behind the victory of presidential candidate Tabaré Vázquez. <mask> was then elected in 2009 as president in the following elections. Minister of Agriculture
On 1 March 2005, President Tabaré Vázquez designated <mask> as the Minister of Livestock, Agriculture and Fisheries (<mask>'s own professional background was in the agricultural sector). Upon becoming minister, <mask> resigned his position as senator. He held this position until a cabinet change in 2008, when he resigned and was replaced by Ernesto Agazzi.<mask> then returned to his seat in the Senate. Political positions

<mask>'s political ideology has evolved over the years from orthodox to pragmatist. In recent times he has expressed a desire for a more flexible political left. His speaking style and manner is credited as part of his growing popularity since the late 1990s, especially among rural and poor sectors of the population. He has been variously described as an "antipolitician" and a man who "speaks the language of the people" while also receiving criticism for untimely or inappropriate remarks. Unlike president Vázquez, who vetoed a bill put forward by parliament that would make abortions legal, <mask> has stated that should it come before him in the future, he would not veto such a bill. In the sphere of international relations, he hopes to further negotiations and agreements between the European Union and the regional trade bloc Mercosur, of which Uruguay is a founding member.On the Uruguay River pulp mill dispute between Argentina and Uruguay, <mask> was more conciliatory toward the Argentine government than the previous administration, and in 2010 the two nations ended their long-running dispute and signed an agreement detailing an environmental monitoring plan of the river and the setting up of a binational commission. Good personal relations between <mask> and Argentinian counterpart Cristina Kirchner helped lead to the accord, although several bilateral issues remain unresolved, including the dredging of the shared Martin Garcia access channel of the River Plate. He was close to Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, whom he considered to be "the most generous ruler I have ever known." In 2011, he spoke out against the military operations launched by several Western countries against Libya. Asked about Brazilian President Lula da Silva's decision to receive Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he answered it was a "genius move" because "The more Iran is fenced in, the worse it will be for the rest of the world." Even though President Vázquez favored his Finance Minister Danilo Astori as presidential candidate of the then unified Broad Front to succeed him in 2010, <mask>'s broad appeal and growing support within the party posed a challenge to the president. On 14 December 2008, The Extraordinary Congress "Zelmar Michelini" (a party convention) proclaimed <mask> as the official candidate of the Broad Front for primary elections of 2009, but four more precandidates were allowed to participate, including Astori.On 28 June 2009, <mask> won the primary elections becoming the presidential candidate of the Broad Front for the 2009 general election. After that, Astori agreed to be his running mate. Their campaign was centered on the concept of continuing and deepening the policies of the highly popular administration of Vázquez, using the slogan “Un gobierno honrado, un país de primera" (An honest government, a first-class country) – indirectly referencing cases of administrative corruption within the former government of the major opposition candidate, conservative Luis Alberto Lacalle. During the campaign, <mask> distanced himself from the governing style of presidents like Hugo Chávez (Venezuela) or Evo Morales (Bolivia), claiming the center-left governments of Brazilian Luis Inácio Lula da Silva or Chilean socialist Michelle Bachelet as regional examples upon which he would model his administration. Known for his informal style of dress, <mask> donned a suit (without a tie) for some stops in the presidential campaign, notably during visits to regional heads of state. In October 2009, <mask> won a plurality of over 48 percent of the votes compared to 30 percent for former president Lacalle, falling short of the majority required by the constitution, while at the same time renewing the Broad Front's parliamentary majority for the next legislature (2010–2015). A runoff was then held on 29 November to determine the winner; on 30 November <mask> emerged as the victor, with more than 52% of the vote over Lacalle's 43%.In his first speech as president-elect before a crowd of supporters, <mask> acknowledged his political adversaries and called for unity, stating that there would be no winners or losers ("Ni vencidos, ni vencedores"). He added that "it is a mistake to think that power comes from above, when it comes from within the hearts of the masses (...) it has taken me a lifetime to learn this". Government
<mask> formed a cabinet made up of politicians from the different components of the Broad Front, conceding the area of economics to aides of his vice president Danilo Astori. In June 2012, <mask>'s government made a controversial move to legalize state-controlled sales of marijuana in Uruguay in order to fight drug-related crimes and health issues, and stated that they would ask global leaders to do the same. <mask> said that by regulating Uruguay's estimated $40 million-a-year marijuana business, the state would take it away from drug traffickers, and weaken the drug cartels. The state would also be able to keep track of all marijuana consumers in the country and provide treatment to the most serious abusers, much like that which is done with alcoholics. <mask> also passed a same-sex marriage law and legalized abortion for women.In September 2013, <mask> addressed the United Nations General Assembly, with a very long speech devoted to humanity and globalization. The speech called on the international community to strengthen efforts to preserve the planet for future generations and highlighted the power of the financial systems and the impact of economic fallout on ordinary people. He urged a return to simplicity, with lives founded on human relationships, love, friendship, adventure, solidarity and family, instead of lives shackled to the economy and the markets. In general terms, its policy was in line with the previous mandate. The share of social expenditure in total public expenditure thus rose from 60.9% to 75.5% between 2004 and 2013. During this period, the unemployment rate remained at about 7%, the national poverty rate was reduced from 18% to 9.7% and the minimum wage was raised from UYU$4,800 to UYU$10,000 (average annual inflation rate of 7%) and the Government's debt raised from 59% to 65%. It also supported the strengthening of trade unions.According to the International Trade Union Confederation, Uruguay has become the most advanced country in the Americas in terms of respect for "fundamental labor rights, in particular freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining and the right to strike". <mask> was barred from running for reelection in 2014; the Constitution does not allow presidents to run for immediate reelection. Thus, on 1 March 2015, <mask>'s term as president came to an end. He was succeeded by Vázquez, who returned to office for a second non-consecutive term. According to BBC correspondent Wyre Davies, "<mask> left office with a relatively healthy economy and with social stability those bigger neighbors could only dream of." Personal life

In 2005, <mask> married Lucía Topolansky, a fellow former Tupamaros member after many years living together. They have no children and live on a farm owned by Lucía in the outskirts of Montevideo, where they cultivate chrysanthemums for sale, having declined to live in the presidential palace or to use its staff.Also living at his farm is his three-legged dog, Manuela. Topolansky briefly served as acting president in November 2010 while her husband took part in a business delegation to Spain and Vice President Astori was on an official trip to Antarctica. Before then, she served in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. <mask> has drawn worldwide attention for his simple lifestyle. He has used a 1987 Volkswagen Beetle as a means of transportation. In 2010, the value of the car was $1,800 and represented the entirety of the mandatory annual personal wealth declaration filed by <mask> for that year. In November 2014, the Uruguayan newspaper Búsqueda reported that he had been offered 1 million dollars for the car; he said that if he did get 1 million dollars for the car it would be donated to house the homeless through a program that he supports.<mask> is an atheist. International relevance
During the last months of 2013, the Serbian film director Emir Kusturica started shooting a documentary on the life of <mask>, El Pepe, una vida suprema released in 2018, whom he considers "the last hero of politics". In 2014 Italian author Frank Iodice wrote the book Breve dialogo sulla felicità, which centers on the life of <mask>. Ten thousand copies of the book were printed and distributed for free to local school children. In June 2016, <mask> received the Order of the Flag of Republika Srpska from the president of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik. Uruguayan film director Álvaro Brechner's 2018 film A Twelve-Year Night (La noche de 12 años) was based on <mask>'s 12-year-long prison life under military dictatorship. It premiered in official selection at the 75th Venice International Film Festival, and it was selected as the Uruguayan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards.The film won the Golden Pyramid Award at the 40th Cairo International Film Festival. During a talk at the 28th Guadalajara International Book Fair (Mexico), on Sunday 7 December 2014, <mask> was interviewed by Mexican journalist Ricardo Rocha. Uruguay's President addressed several topics, such as drug trafficking, drug legalization, poverty and social injustice. "We live on the most unjust continent in the world, probably the richest, but with the worst distribution [of wealth]." On Latin America, <mask> stated that he was "passionate about bringing Latin Americans together, about what defines us as belonging to a great nation that is to be created. There are multinational states, like China, like India, like what Europe is doing after a history of wars." <mask> also addressed the question of the shared linguistic heritage of Latin Americans, remarking with respect to the region's two major languages that "Portuguese is a sweet Spanish, if you speak it slowly... and even more so if it has a feminine sweetness."And he pointed out another element that unites the countries in Latin America: "We have another identity: the Christian and Catholic tradition." He concluded his talk by adding: "I see that there are many young people here; as an old man, a little advice: Life can set us a lot of snares, a lot of bumps, we can fail a thousand times, in life, in love, in the social struggle, but, if we search for it, we'll have the strength to get up again and start over. The most beautiful thing about the day is that it dawns. There is always a dawn after the night has passed. Don't forget it, kids. The only losers are the ones who stop fighting." Honors and awards

<mask> attended Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, obtaining both a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Engineering before going on to work at Chrysler. He then obtained his M.S. in Management from the MIT Sloan School of Management while contributing to “The Machine that Changed the World”  (Financial Times “Book of the Year” in 1990). Early career
Following his graduation from M.I.T., <mask> worked for McKinsey and Company as a Strategic Management Consultant.In 1995, he joined Fiat Auto in Italy and soon after became Executive Director of Product Development for all Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo cars and commercial vehicles. <mask> was promoted to the position of Vice President of Marketing for Fiat in 2002, shortly before moving to McLaren Automotive in Britain as Managing Director in January 2003. McLaren Automotive
McLaren hired <mask> to launch the SLR for Mercedes Benz and subsequently build a stand-alone McLaren road car brand. <mask> was responsible for managing all aspects of the company's road car business. He launched the SLR into production in 2003 in partnership with Mercedes-Benz and turned McLaren Automotive into a profitable company after developing and launching further SLR models including the SLR Roadster and SLR Stirling Moss. At that time the SLR became the highest volume carbon based car ever produced. After the launch of the SLR, <mask> built McLaren Automotive into a standalone luxury sports car company developing three core products: P11 (MP4-12C / 650S), P12 (P1) and P13 (Sports Series).Under his leadership, McLaren Automotive developed its own carbon fibre chassis, high-performance V8 petrol engine and revolutionary suspension system. The company also built a dedicated production facility and a global distribution network with 51 dealers in 26 countries. Launch of the MP4-12C and P1
During <mask>'s tenure, McLaren successfully launched two road car models and began the development of a third. The first car, the MP4-12C, was launched to critical acclaim and had 1700 orders before it went on display at dealerships. In its first full year in production, McLaren Automotive sold 1,587 MP4-12C’s with a turnover of £267 million and near-break even profitability. The MP4-12C subsequently became the world's best selling carbon fibre based car. At the end of 2012, McLaren launched the MP4-12C Spider and Sheriff announced McLaren would be releasing the P1, a $1 million hybrid supercar, in 2013.The car was launched at the Paris Motor Show in September 2012 and sold out its limited 375 car production run within 12 months and became the world's first hybrid supercar in customer hands. In January 2017 it was reported that theP1 was changing hands for double its original price. Two other cars were conceived under <mask>’s leadership, but launched after his departure: The 650S (an evolution of the MP4-12C) launched in 2014 and the P13 Sports Series launched in 2015. <mask> resigned as Managing Director of McLaren in 2013, but remains closely tied to automotive, advising and investing in a number of projects in the international automotive industry. Awards and recognition
The MP4-12C won several honors, including “GT Car of the Year” and “Cabrio of the Year” from Top Gear, Middle East "Car of the Year" and the P1 won the “Hypercar of the Year”, also from Top Gear. In addition, McLaren Automotive was awarded the Walpole award for the “Best British Luxury Brand” in 2011. Princess Yachts
Sheriff joined British luxury yacht manufacturer Princess Yachts in January 2016, following a decade as Managing Director with luxury car manufacturer McLaren Automotive.Under <mask>'s stewardship Princess made the Sunday Times list of Top Track 25 listing which ranks the UK's private mid-market growth companies by sales, with required growth in profit and sales. Under <mask>'s guidance, the company was featured for the first time on the list and at rank 87th

In his Forbes interview in 2017, <mask> equated the future of the luxury yachting industry with that of the supercar industry. 'We need to get better at making boating less intimidating. What fueled the growth of the supercar market is that it became easier.' With <mask>'s background at McLaren, Princess is working towards streamlining the process of owning and running a luxury yacht to achieve exactly that. In 2018 Princess Yachts announced record profits, up 27% on the previous year to £274.4m, and an operating profit before exceptional costs of £7.9m. Princess continued the success story with a record-breaking results for sales at the 2019 boot Düsseldorf (the world's biggest indoor boat show).Princess Yachts announced six new boats in 2018, including the technically innovative R35 Sports Yacht  which uses active foiling technology to control the pitch of the hull. To cope with the increased customer demand, Princess increased headcount by 500 from April 2017 to April 2018. <mask> is quoted: “We are continuing to develop and build the business so we anticipate bringing on more people,”. In April 2019 The Sunday Times awarded Princess Yachts 8th place in the Profit Track 100. Citing Princess had hired 850 people in 2018, bringing their total to 3,200. Stuart Lisle, co-chairman of BDO's Brexit taskforce said "We think companies such as Arlington Industries, CH&Co, and Princess Yachts are exactly the sort of entrepreneurially minded, mid-sized businesses that government and policymakers should do all they can to support. They outperform their larger and smaller counterparts in terms of growth in profits and sales, and in job creation, and yet they are often overlooked by government policy"

In May 2019, Princess Yachts announced record financial results of £340m turnover and £30m in operating profit.These figures are underpinned by record levels of productivity and employment at 3,200, up 50% since 2016. Other board positions
Further to his position as Executive Chairman of Princess Yachts <mask> is also on the board of directors of several cutting-edge automotive companies. <mask> has sat on the Board of Directors of Rivian since 2016, the Michigan-based start-up developing a range of electrified sport utility vehicles and pick-ups designed for on- and off-road driving. <mask> is also on the board of directors at Rimac, manufacturing electric hypercars and providing technology to automotive manufacturers. <mask> is also on the board of directors of Pininfarina SpA, the famous car design firm and coachbuilder who will be building the new Pininfarina Battista 1900bhp electric hypercar that made its debut at the 2019 Geneva motor show. <mask> has an advisory board position with flying car start-up Aeromobil

The game was played in Raleigh, North Carolina. NCSU went on to defeat UCLA & Marquette for the National title in Greensboro, North Carolina.<mask>'s performance during the 1973–1974 season, in which Pitt went 25-4 and won a school record, 22 games in a row, earned him 2nd team All-American team status.

He made his debut with the Italy U21 team on 21 March 2019, in a 0–0 friendly draw against Austria in Trieste.He took part in the 2019 European Under-21 Championship. Senior

His first start for Italy came in his following appearance on 15 November, a 3–0 away win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. Style of play
Regarded as a promising young Italian player in his position in the media, <mask> is a regista, and is often likened to Andrea Pirlo – who also started his career with Brescia – in terms of his movement, coordination, appearance, technical qualities, position, and playing style. A strong, energetic, elegant, and creative, midfielder, with excellent vision and an ability to read the game, Tonali usually plays in a central or defensive midfield role as deep-lying playmaker in a 4–3–3 formation, and shows maturity and character beyond his young age.Dictating play for Brescia with his passing in midfield, he set up two goals and even scored two himself in his 19 appearances in Serie B during the 2017–18 season. Although naturally right-footed, he is known for his accurate long passing ability with either foot. Moreover, he is also adept at taking set-pieces. In addition to Pirlo, Tonali has also cited Steven Gerrard and Luka Modrić as influences, and has also compared his own playing style to that of Gennaro Gattuso. In July 2019, he was named by UEFA as one of the 50 promising young players to watch for the 2019–20 season. Personal life
In October 2020, <mask> tested positive for COVID-19. Tonali is a Milan fan since childhood.Career statistics
