  • Team HONMA Member Koumei Oda Becomes the Order of Merit Leader
    December 2014 Team HONMA member Koumei Oda becomes the Order of Merit leader on the Japan Golf Tour for the first time! Three members of Team HONMA have proven themselves to be winners, thanks in part to the use of Tour World TW727 x Vizard. A first-time feat for HONMA! HONMA GOLF Co., Ltd., (head office: Roppongi Hills Mori Tower 35F, 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo; representative director & president: Koji Nishitani) signed a contract for the use of HONMA GOLF clubs and accessories with professional golfer Koumei Oda. At the Golf Nippon Series JT Cup, a major Japanese event that was held between December 4th and 7th at the Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club in Tokyo, Oda tied for third place with a 6-under final result. This allowed him to become the top money leader this season among male golfers on the Japan Golf Tour (with total prize earnings of 137,318,693 yen) for the first time in his professional career. For our company as well, this was the first time that a professional golfer under contract with HONMA GOLF secured this honor in our history. Having set out to become the top money leader before the start of the current season, he was fighting hard in pursuit of this goal as one of the leading earners on the tour. Oda used the TW727 series clubs, which are slated to be released in January 2015 (February for markets outside Japan), and notched a series of impressive results to validate the performing attributes of this equipment. He came blazing on the first day with a first-place score of 6-under and no bogeys.

  • Page 1 of 5 Egypt | Freedom House 5/1/2015
    Egypt | Freedom House Page 1 of 5 Egypt freedomhouse.org Conditions for the media in Egypt grew worse during 2014 as Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the army chief who overthrew President Mohamed Morsi in a July 2013 coup, consolidated his power. A new constitution adopted in January contained a number of press freedom guarantees, but these were undermined by important exceptions as well as existing legal restrictions that remained in effect. In practice, the authorities sought to purge the media of any critical voices, especially those deemed sympathetic to Morsi’s banned Muslim Brotherhood, in part by prosecuting journalists in the politicized courts. Journalists also faced violence when covering protests, and most media outlets increasingly displayed a strong progovernment bias, with self-censorship contributing to the broader loss of pluralism and diversity of opinion. Legal Environment In January 2014, Egyptians voted on a constitution drafted under the supervision of an interim government established after the 2013 coup. The new document, which passed the referendum with 98 percent of the vote amid 39 percent turnout, replaced a charter that had been ratified under Morsi in December 2012 and suspended by the coup. During the campaign period for the referendum, the authorities effectively banned all expression of opposition to the new constitution. The 2014 constitution contains several encouraging provisions regarding freedom of expression, access to information, and the media. Article 65 guarantees freedom of thought, opinion, and the expression thereof. Article 68 declares that all official state documents and information are the property of the people, who have the right to access such materials in a timely and transparent manner.
