ARMENIA AND THE ARMENIAN QUESTION SIMON VRATZIAN Translated from the Armenian By JAMES G. MANDALIAN $0¢ HATRENIK PUBLISHING COMPANY BOSTON 1943 No future peace can permanently be maintained unless the downfall of present day dictatorships is followed by the establishment of those factors which make peace enduring, foremost among which is the principle of the rights of national freedom and of self- determination. This is the reason why the Atlantic Charter-the official expression of our war aims-gives first place to the national questions. "They desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned. "They respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self-govern- ment restored to those who have been forcibly de- prived of them." The Armenians are one of those peoples whose fatherland has been forcibly seized; consequently, they are a people who have been forcibly deprived of "sovereign rights and self-government." After the present war of liberation, together with all other countries which have been deprived of their freedom, Armenia, too, expects the restoration of her bounda- vii ries, her lost freedom and her sovereign right to take her place in the family of nations.

One individual died during the trial, leading to charges against him being dropped. Among those sentenced were former police chiefs and security officials.

    Completing the Results of the 2013 Boston Marathon Dorit Hammerling1, Matthew Cefalu2, Jessi Cisewski3, Francesca Dominici2, Giovanni Parmigiani2,4, Charles Paulson5, Richard L. Smith1,6* 1 Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, United States of America, 2 Department of Biostatistics, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 3 Department of Statistics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America, 4 Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, 5 Puffinware LLC, State College, Pennsylvania, United States of America, 6 Department of Statistics and Operations Research, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America Abstract The 2013 Boston marathon was disrupted by two bombs placed near the finish line. The bombs resulted in three deaths and several hundred injuries. Of lesser concern, in the immediate aftermath, was the fact that nearly 6,000 runners failed to finish the race. We were approached by the marathon’s organizers, the Boston Athletic Association (BAA), and asked to recommend a procedure for projecting finish times for the runners who could not complete the race. With assistance from the BAA, we created a dataset consisting of all the runners in the 2013 race who reached the halfway point but failed to finish, as well as all runners from the 2010 and 2011 Boston marathons. The data consist of split times from each of the 5 km sections of the course, as well as the final 2.2 km (from 40 km to the finish). The statistical objective is to predict the missing split times for the runners who failed to finish in 2013.
