the coldest morning of the fall at Mckinney Falls State Park in Austin - 38 degrees & a bitter wind.
so I made them run & dance the entire session !
Hailie & Zachry met up with us over the summer to talk about their floral filled wedding at Beckendorff Farms, & we were hooked on their vision. They are all about love, friendship, family, & beautiful design - sooo good! Their relationship has been 5+ years in the making with only a little longer until their "I Do's". We are SO excited for them!!
This was my second engagement session with a 45mm tilt shift, and each time I use it, I have a deeper understanding of perspective + light. The first image is one of my favorites ever, so, basically I'm hooked.

Belly, The Weeknd, and Young Thug Share Video for New Song "Better Believe"
ByJordan Rose
Editorial assistant & news writer. Twitter / Instagram

Belly has enlisted the talents of frequent collaborator The Weeknd and Young Thug to join him on his latest melodic single, "Better Believe."
Belly also shared a Christian Breslauer-directed music video to go along with the track, which you can watch up top via YouTube.
Belly's last single was the Moneybagg Yo-assisted track, "Zero Love," that dropped earlier last month. That song was also given the visual treatment, finding Belly and Moneybagg alongside dancing ninjas in the desert.
"Jumped on this record cuz Belly and XO that's family," Moneybagg said of the collaboration. "Excited about this one."

Before those two singles, Belly connected with Benny the Butcher for their song "Money on the Table." The aforementioned singles will land on Belly's upcoming project, See You Next Wednesday. The project has yet to receive a release date.
Belly's last album, Immigrant, dropped back in October of 2018 via Roc Nation and XO. The project boasted features from The Weeknd, Meek Mill, Nav, M.I.A., Yo Gotti, Metro Boomin, French Montana, and Zack.
As we wait for See You Next Wednesday, listen to Belly's new single "Better Believe" featuring The Weeknd and Young Thug down below and check out the track's accompanying visuals up top.

'Our design was inspired by Aberchirder School's very own tartan which is on the tartan register and was designed last year by a former pupil in school. We wanted all of the children in the school to feature on the sculpture and so everyone drew their own "selfie" which is what makes Oor Wullie's dungarees unique. Having our own tartan designed was the result of a parent from school entering a competition in the Daily Record and we are very proud to have our very own tartan. Each child designed an Oor Wullie and elements were taken from these drawiings for our final decision.'

Welcome to the O'Hare parking resource page brought to you by BestParking.com.
Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is the largest passenger airport in the state of Illinois. With more than 64 million passengers using the airport in 2009, O'Hare is the third busiest airport in the world. It is also the world's second busiest in terms of aircraft movement with more than 2,000 flights per day leaving for or arriving from over 100 U.S. and international destinations. Prior to 2007, O'Hare has been voted as the 'Best Airport in North America' for 10 years by the readers of two leading travel magazines.
The City of Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) which operates the airport provides several O'Hare parking choices to passengers. These include hourly, daily, international, valet, and economy parking options. Passengers can also choose to park at any of the privately-run off-airport parking facilities located within a few miles of the airport. Finally, many Chicago airport hotels also provide parking or 'park, sleep, and fly' accommodations to ORD passengers.
Compute for and compare ORD parking rates. You can easily do this by simply entering the date and time of your arrival and departure (at the facility) into the blinking parking rate calculator at the top of this page. After you've pressed the Calculate Rates button, the relevant parking costs will be shown automatically right there on the map, beside each parking location, and on the table below it. Compare and get the best available rate.
Pick your ORD parking facility. This is easy after you've done the computation in the first step. Select the most convenient parking facility that works best for you. Just drift the cursor over your chosen parking lot on the map and all the important contact details - exact address, phone numbers, web site, etc. - and description will appear.
Guarantee your parking space. After you've picked a location, remember to book your parking, if it's supported. That was quick! You now have a secured ORD airport parking space.
Please note that the above O'Hare parking rates only apply to airport-run parking facilities. These rates are subject to change and may have been revised since the last update of this page - please check for the latest rates using the parking map and rate calculator above or by visiting the City of Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) web site at: www.flychicago.com.

Q: Jackson (de)serialization not accurate between HTTP responses and test cases I have a Spring Boot 2.3.2.RELEASE WebFlux application. I have some JPA entities that are returned as part of the RESTful API responses.
The tests that I have (using @WebFluxTest) check the HTTP response(s) and contract — against a JSON schema. I'm injecting a Jackson's ObjecMapper and a Spring WebTestClient in those tests to check the HTTP response(s) against the corresponding/expected JSON schema.
The problem is: if I use any HTTP client when the application is running, the collections (on the Java side) with no elements are serialized into JSON as empty arrays — that's what I would expect regardless of whether that's right or wrong theoretically; but on the test cases, the same empty collections are being serialized with null values.
So I wonder why would that be different? I would expect the same JSON string at any point.
I know I'm not using different ObjectMapper settings — or that's what I think. I don't have any custom Spring beans for that type, so I'm using whatever Spring Boot injects by default, so it must be the same for the running application as well as when running the tests. The only customization for Jackson is done at the application level in the application.yml:
spring:
  ...
  jackson:
    property-naming-strategy: LOWER_CAMEL_CASE
    serialization:
      write-date-timestamps-as-nanoseconds: false
      write-dates-as-timestamps: true
  ...

I'm using the com.networknt:json-schema-validator:1.0.43 library for the JSON schema implementation.

Excerpt of one of the test cases:
@WebFluxTest(controllers = [ExamController::class])
internal class ExamControllerTest {
  @Autowired
  private lateinit var webClient: WebTestClient

  @Autowired
  private lateinit var mapper: ObjectMapper

  @Test
  @Disabled
  fun getById_ValidateResponseAgainstSchema() {
    // IMPORTANT: If you update anything here, make the corresponding changes also to getById_WhenRecordExists
    webClient.get()
        .uri("/exams/10001030")
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        .exchange()
        .expectStatus().isOk
        .expectBody()
        .consumeWith { result ->
          val schemaFactory = JsonSchemaFactory.getInstance(SpecVersion.VersionFlag.V201909)
          this::class.java.getResourceAsStream("/json-schemas/exam/exam-details.json").use {
            Assertions.assertThat(schemaFactory.getSchema(it).validate(mapper.readTree(result.responseBody))).isEmpty()
          }
        }
  }

  // ...
}

The test data is created/seeded in a Docker container using Testcontainers.

A: Disable the DeserializationFeature.ACCEPT_EMPTY_ARRAY_AS_NULL_OBJECT, so that Jackson doesn't deserialize empty arrays as null values

Brian Houston tweets "what ACTUALLY happened in NYC" but offers "only guess"?
By churchwatcher on June 5, 2016 • ( 8 )
CARL – BRIAN HOUSTON IS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM
Brian Houston has made it clear: he does not care about the truth or facts.
Brian Houston only wants people to agree with him.
The same could be said about Carl Lentz. These men just want to remain popular and say things to stay in people's good books. Their behaviour over the Hillsong Naked Cowboy fiasco appears to be proof of this.
Recently, Carl Lentz had issue with us claiming that Hillsong was cyber-lynching Diego Simila off the internet. As a result, he complained to us publicly. [Click to read here]
To CWC: "this is … the second time I have had to clarify bad facts and address you on the very same issue you continually attempt to throw at my church."
Carl Lentz has not clarified anything when we've asked him to clarify. Just like Brian Houston, he has played word games and used postmodern obfuscation tactics to silence and discredit us. If Mr. Lentz was authentic, genuine and sincere with his desire to see things clarified, we would have no problem correcting any mistakes in our articles. But he has refused to dialogue with us and only insinuate that we are only slanderers who hate people, (which is a typical Hillsong apologist response):
"So again, in your rush to write blogs about us, please do your best to at least get facts right. I realize you hate our church and you get excited to get new material up as fast as you can, that's your obvious right. But your credibility suffers when you have to retract things.." – Carl Lentz.
WE'RE NOT THE PROBLEM CARL – YOUR SENIOR "PASTOR" IS
However, what is becoming more noticeable is Carl Lentz's hypocrisy and blind loyalty to Brian Houston's clearly stupid and deceitful leadership.
While we earnestly do our best to cover the facts as best as we can (screen grabs, sources and all), leaders like Carl Lentz and Brian Houston deliberately keep people in the dark over the truth of their cult-like shenanigans.
But why should Carl Lentz care about authenticity, genuineness, truth and integrity?
The fact that he appears to defend and remain silent over the antics of Brian Houston prove his facade is wearing thin to a lot of Christians. We are dealing with Brian Houston who is considered a megalomaniac and liar by the Australian media and a cult leader by Australians in general.
If Carl Lentz really cares about the "facts", he would rebuke Brian Houston first and then address our so-called "bad facts".
BRIAN WANTS YOU TO SOAK IN HIS OPINIONS
Brian Houston advertised his cowboy post on his blog on twitter:
"Did you hear the one about a cowboy? This is what ACTUALLY happened in NYC.
http://hil.so/s/5v3″
Source: Brian Houston, Twitter, https://twitter.com/BrianCHouston/status/738321543088967680, 3:49 AM – 2 Jun 2016. (Accessed 05/06/2015.)
Did you get that? Brian Houston is claiming to report "what ACTUALLY happened in NYC."
But here's the thing – Brian Houston is simply saying this – not because he has the facts or the truth. He is saying this so people can believe his ponderings:
"So how did someone come on stage imitating Times Square's famous Naked Cowboy, (during a fun moment involving lots of other people), at the Colour Conference in NYC? It's a good question, I've been trying to work that out myself."
Work out what Brian? Are you going to tell us "what ACTUALLY happened in NYC?"
"I can only guess at this point, that some one thought it would be funny and sent him out there without thinking about the ramifications."
There you have it folks! … the ACTUAL story! … From BRIAN!
… it's a lousy guess?
Oh wait! There are other things he DOES know!
BRIAN KNOWS THAT HIS WIFE KNEW… NOTHING
Brian Houston claims that his wife Bobbie Houston knew nothing:
"I do know that Bobbie – my wife – who was convener of the conference was clearly unaware that this was going to happen and was taken back by it."
What have you learned from Brian Houston here? Nothing.
BRIAN KNOWS THAT HIS WIFE SAW… NOTHING
Brian Houston claims that his wife Bobbie Houston saw nothing:
"She was at the dress rehearsal and there was no sign of a cowboy there."
BUT BRIAN CLAIMS TO KNOW SOMETHING… WHEN HE ACTUALLY DOESN'T
"What I do know is that those who perpetuate the story, do so mainly with the help of a video, no context, and a good dose of what the bible describes as hearsay and rumour. He was wearing proper shorts, not underwear, and he had a flag draped over him."
So… This is what ACTUALLY happened in NYC? There was only "a video" that had no context by which then people perpetuated a story?
The irony here is that when Brian Houston actually claimed to actually "know" something substantial, he in fact didn't.
These are the facts:
We found 3 videos on the internet: [Video 1] [Video 2] [Video 3]
While the first two videos provide enough context, the third video provides extra context that reveals not one person on stage had a problem with the Naked Cowboy's presence.
Furthermore, the third footage had the Naked Cowboy come out on stage with Hillsong leaders Carl Lentz, Joel Houston, Ben Houston and Terry Crist.
Further still, in the third footage Bobbie Houston gave the Naked Cowboy special acknowledgement and praise, then requesting he not be filmed on camera.
We found a photograph on Instagram of the naked cowboy with Ben Houston on stage.
This Instagram had the name of the person who played Hillsong's Naked Cowboy – that being Hillsong NYC's Youth Pastor, Diego Simila.
The Real Naked cowboy seemed to have seen this material and threatened Hillsong with legal action.
So what he claimed what he knew to be true was not true at all. So what "ACTUALLY happened in NYC" again Brian?
"Opinion blocks truth." – Brian Houston, Sermon: What Are You Soaking In?
If we were Brian Houston, we would not DARE suggest or insinuate that the real Naked Cowboy (along with others) do not have the actual story/context, or dare thump such people with our own fancy guess work. That is making people out to be deliberate slanderers. Especially when all we can offer is a guess at best.
So what was the actual story in the end?
Brian Houston's opinion.
(And the whole world is watching him soak in it.)
One thing we do know is that Brian Houston made recent changes to his blog post. We will end by posting them both up so you can speculate why he made these changes.

I do know that Bobbie – my wife – who was convener of the conference was clearly unaware that this was going to happen and was taken back by it. She was at the dress rehearsal and there was no sign of a naked cowboy lookalike there. Carl and Laura Lentz were also not part of the decision. I can only guess at this point, that some one thought it would be funny and sent him out there without thinking about the ramifications.
What I also know is that talk of apostates etc., is nonsense. Some well-meaning person just made a silly decision. It is unlikely to happen again.

Brian C Houston
So how did someone come on stage resembling a cowboy, (during a fun moment involving lots of other people), at the Colour Conference in NYC? It's a good question, I've been trying to work that out myself.
I do know that Bobbie – my wife – who was convener of the conference was clearly unaware that this was going to happen and was taken back by it.

He was wearing proper shorts, not underwear, and he had a flag draped over him – bare-chested and perhaps inappropriate, certainly unexpected and unauthorised; but not naked.
What I also know is that talk of apostates etc., is nonsense. Some well-meaning person just made a silly decision. It won't happen again.
Interesting that even after two days, Brian Houston has nothing else significant to add to his media statement.
It appears Brian Houston is insisting that denial is the best way forward.

"So how did someone come on stage resembling a cowboy, (during a ****FUN**** moment"
Why do Bobbie Houston, Brian Houston, and Hillsong apologist posters keep referring to "debauchery" as 'fun'? Hillsong is a constantly changing rubix cube of bizarre behaviors.
June 6, 2016 • 2:13 am
So, according to Houston, his wife didn't notice the Naked Cowboy during "Dress Rehearsals"? I shall refrain from making all the obvious jokes about it being obvious that a Naked Cowboy would not turn up to "Dress Rehearsals", but have to comment instead that this is all so out hand….. when did "church" become this kind of entertainment fiasco? Pretty sure Christ didn't have a "dress rehearsal" for the Sermon on the Mount and yet the event is still being talked about and studied and impacting people 2,000 years later. I certainly can't say that this event will do similar. Get your Bible out and read it Houston …..you have gone so far off the track it is terrifying. Bobbie Houston didn't look to me as if she was too "surprised"…… of course, any wife of a Pastor who had any decency about them whatsoever, who was supposed to be hosting such an event would have immediately stopped proceedings, escorted this jerk off the stage, and apologised unreservedly to the audience. Did you do that Bobbie….. did you? What intelligent person could ever take this couple and their weak-kneed explanations, excuses and machinations seriously! And STILL, thousands attend their churches and fear standing up to it all and denouncing it as the evil it is. How will they explain to God on the last day that they did not adhere to Bible instructions and use their God-given discernment. I wonder if God is amused by the appearances of the Naked Cowboy and Austin Powers at Hillsong events and the other idiotic behaviour of this pack of wolves. Somehow I doubt it.
schatonie
watch all brian houston's >squirming< from the start of this event. just like the scripture says:
john 3:19-20 "This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed."
Claudia. I think you were absolutely correct. I watched the video and did not witness any attempt to cover the cowboy's nakedness or usher him off the stage. Sad to say that once people become so ensconced in such ungodly behaviour, lying and excuse making (then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf! -Ex 32:24) becomes part and parcel of their religious activity. But, just wait a few more years and you will see the attendees of these conferences without clothes. "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come."
1 Cor 10:11. The two conferences (London and NY) is clear evidence that they are already on their way to repeating the same corrupt behaviour as the Israelites
churchwatcher
Diego Simila has to come forward and tell the truth himself. He needs to put his 'career' as a Hillsong Youth pastor on the altar and trust that if he's truly a Christian saved by grace, he can throw himself on God's mercy, find a real church and start over.
Cheers, Team ChurchWatch.
101discernment
I can't believe Brian Houston changed his statement from 'naked cowboy' to just 'cowboy' in two places and added in 'bare-chested and perhaps inappropriate, certainly unexpected and unauthorised; but not naked.'
And Carl Lentz says that there is no 'scrubbing' going on by Hillsong! The fact that the Snr Pastor of Hillsong can't even admit the Naked Cowboy was extremely inappropriate says a lot! Brian also says the Naked cowboy was 'unauthorised' yet like this article says, the Naked Cowboy came on stage with 5 other 'Pastors' (The cross-dressing statue of Liberty is also a Pastor of NYC) and not one of them backstage thought to stop this 'well meaning' Naked, person who Brian forget's to mention is the Youth Pastor. People of Hillsong, don't be sucked in any longer – open your eyes and see who Brian Houston really is!
The evidence is certainly there – it's too late to scrub it now. Makes you wonder what he thinks he still stands to gain, because he's losing credibility with every rewrite.
Cheers, team Churchwatch

Houston: "It won't happen again."
No, surely it won't, ONLY because sites like this are monitoring you since noone there dare holds you accountable, since everyone at your faux-church is afraid to say anything against you Brian.
But, SOMETHING ELSE WILL happen in your lawless organization. And everyone KNOWS it.

The Central African Republic (CAR; Sango: Ködörösêse tî Bêafrîka; French: République centrafricaine) is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Chad to the north, Sudan to the northeast, South Sudan to the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, the Republic of the Congo to the southwest and Cameroon to the west. The CAR covers a land area of about 620,000 square kilometres (240,000 sq mi) and had an estimated population of around 4.6 million as of 2016. As of 2019, the CAR is the scene of a civil war, ongoing since 2012.
Most of the CAR consists of Sudano-Guinean savannas, but the country also includes a Sahelo-Sudanian zone in the north and an equatorial forest zone in the south. Two thirds of the country is within the Ubangi River basin (which flows into the Congo), while the remaining third lies in the basin of the Chari, which flows into Lake Chad.
What is today the Central African Republic has been inhabited for millennia; however, the country's current borders were established by France, which ruled the country as a colony starting in the late 19th century. After gaining independence from France in 1960, the Central African Republic was ruled by a series of autocratic leaders, including an abortive attempt at a monarchy; by the 1990s, calls for democracy led to the first multi-party democratic elections in 1993. Ange-Félix Patassé became president, but was later removed by General François Bozizé in the 2003 coup. The Central African Republic Bush War began in 2004 and, despite a peace treaty in 2007 and another in 2011, civil war resumed in 2012.
Despite its significant mineral deposits and other resources, such as uranium reserves, crude oil, gold, diamonds, cobalt, lumber, and hydropower, as well as significant quantities of arable land, the Central African Republic is among the ten poorest countries in the world, with the lowest GDP per capita at purchasing power parity in the world as of 2017. As of 2015, according to the Human Development Index (HDI), the country had the lowest level of human development, ranking 188th out of 188 countries. It is also estimated to be the unhealthiest country as well as the worst country in which to be young. The Central African Republic is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Economic Community of Central African States, the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie and the Non-Aligned Movement.
Motto: "Unité, Dignité, Travail" (French) [translation: "Unity, Dignity, Work"].
Capital: Bangui (Abiras 1903 - 11 Feb 1906; Fort-de-Possel 11 Feb 1906 - 11 Dec 1906) [Haut-Oubangui: Mobaye 1891-1894, Abiras 1894-1903; Haut-Chari: Fort Crampel 1900-1940].
Territorial Disputes: Periodic skirmishes over water and grazing rights among related pastoral populations along the border with southern Sudan persist.
The sultans ruled large conquered populations in the north and east of the present-day Central African Republic (CAR). They included the famous slave-trader al-Sanusi, eventually killed in battle with the French in 1911, and the sultans Labassou, Zemio, and Hetman, heads of conquering dynasties. The Banda in the central part of the CAR generally had no grands chefs and have been called "anarchistic" because of their various subgroupings and divisions. The Mandjia and Baya in the west and the riverine peoples along the Oubangui and Mbomou in the south had no grands chefs either. They had leaders of different kinds, however, for the settlement of disputes or to lead men in battle against an enemy, or as heads of kinship groupings.

David Dacko (1st time).............................14 Aug 1960 - 01 Jan 1966 d. 2003
He was acting to 12 Nov 1960. After independence on 13 August 1960, Dacko became Provisional President of the Republic (14 August–12 December 1960), and then, with the active French support against rival Abel Goumba, became the first President of the Central African Republic (12 December 1960 – 31 December 1965). In 1960, he also served as President of the Conference of Prime Ministers of Equatorial Africa.
Dacko began to consolidate his power soon after taking office in 1960. He retained the portfolio of Minister of Defense (17 August 1960 – 1 January 1966) and Keeper of the Seals (17 August 1960 – 2 January 1963) and amended the Constitution to transform his regime into a one-party state with a strong presidency elected for a term of seven years. On 5 January 1964, Dacko was elected in an election in which he ran alone.
Jean-Bédel Bokassa.................................01 Jan 1966 - 04 Dec 1976 d. 1996
He was known from 18 Oct 1976, Salah Eddine Ahmed Bokassa.
Bokassa I (continued)..............................04 Dec 1976 - 20 Sep 1979
Full style: Empereur de Centrafrique ("Emperor of Central Africa"); description- Empereur de Centrafrique par la volonté du peuple Centrafricain, uni au sein du parti politique national, le MESAN ("Emperor of Central Africa by the will of the Central African people, united within the national political party, the MESAN").
President Jean-Bédel Bokassa proclaimed himself Emperor Bokassa I on 4 December 1976, and was crowned on 04 December 1977 in a lavish coronation ceremony that was estimated to cost his country one-third budget of about US$20 million ($80 million today). Although nominally a constitutional monarchy, in practice Bokassa ruled with absolute power. For all intents and purposes, the country was still a military dictatorship, as had been the case since Bokassa took power in the 1966 coup d'état.
David Dacko (2nd time).............................21 Sep 1979 - 01 Sep 1981
After his second removal from power in a coup d'état led by General André Kolingba, he pursued an active career as an opposition politician and presidential candidate with many loyal supporters; Dacko was an important political figure in the country for over 50 years.
André-Dieudonné Kolingba...........................01 Sep 1981 - 22 Oct 1993 d. 2010
He took power from President David Dacko in a bloodless coup d'état in 1981 and lost power to Ange-Félix Patassé in a democratic election held in 1993. Kolingba retained the strong support of France until the fall of the Berlin Wall, after which both internal and external pressure forced him to hold presidential elections which he lost.
He was Chairman of Military Committee for National Recovery and Chief of State to 21 Sep 1985. President and Head of State: 21 September 1985 - 21 November 1986. Kolingba established the Central African Democratic Rally (RDC) as the country's only party in May 1986.
Ange-Félix Patassé.................................22 Oct 1993 - 15 Mar 2003 d. 2011
François Bozizé launched an unsuccessful coup d'état against the Patassé government on 28 May 2001. Bozizé seized power from Patassé in a successful coup d'état. Shortly after, he appointed Abel Goumba as Prime Minister. Goumba had served as acting Prime Minister in 1959, before being overthrown by Dacko.
François Bozizé Yangouvonda........................15 Mar 2003 - 24 Mar 2013
He participated in a failed 1982 coup attempt against President André Kolingba and subsequently fled the country. Years later, he served as Army Chief of Staff under President Ange-Félix Patassé, but he began a rebellion against Patassé in 2001.
Bozizé's forces captured the capital, Bangui, in March 2003, while Patassé was outside the country, and Bozizé took power, ushering in a transitional period of government. He won the March–May 2005 presidential election in a second round of voting, and he was re-elected in the January 2011 presidential election, winning the vote in the first round.
In December 2012, the CAR was plunged into an uprising by rebel forces who condemned the Bozizé government for not honoring peace agreements after the Central African Republic Bush War in 2007. On 24 March 2013, Bozizé fled to Cameroon via the Democratic Republic of the Congo after the rebel forces attacked Bangui and took control of the presidential palace. There, he was housed by Paul Biya, President of the Republic. On May 29, 2013, an international arrest warrant was issued against Bozizé by the Central African Justice.
Kwa Na Kwa announced on 10 August 2015 that Bozizé would return to the country and stand as a candidate in the October 2015 presidential election. On 8 December 2015, the Constitutional Court announced the list of approved presidential candidacies. Bozizé, who was still in exile, was barred from standing. Officially, he was excluded on the grounds that he was not registered on the voter list and because he had agreed not to run again as part of the peace agreement in January 2013. Gunfire was subsequently reported in parts of Bangui, as his supporters reacted angrily to the news. The KNK said that Bozizé's exclusion was "the result of internal and external pressure", with many of his supporters alleging that the French government was involved in the decision.
Michel Djotodia Am-Nondroko........................24 Mar 2013 - 10 Jan 2014
Chief of State of the Transition from 18 Aug 2013. Chief of State of the interim transition 10-23 Jan 2014. He was the first Muslim to hold that office in the predominantly Christian country. When the peace agreement unraveled, Séléka rebel coalition captured Bangui and Djotodia took power on 24 March 2013. He promised to lead a transition to new elections in which he would not be a candidate, but his time in office was marked by escalating sectarian violence and he was ultimately pressured into resigning by regional leaders on 10 January 2014.
Transitional Chiefs of State
Alexandre-Ferdinand Nguendet (acting)..............10 Jan 2014 - 23 Jan 2014
When the Séléka rebel coalition captured Bangui in March 2013, ousting President François Bozizé, Nguendet's party was reportedly the first party to recognize the leadership of Michel Djotodia, the rebel leader who declared himself President after Bozizé fled the country.
In April 2013, under pressure from regional leaders, Djotodia attempted to legitimize his rule by creating the National Transitional Council, a 105-member provisional parliament, and then being elected by the new CNT as President, to serve during a planned 18-month transitional period, on 13 April 2013. The CNT subsequently elected Nguendet as President of the CNT on 15 April 2013; he defeated four other candidates for the post, receiving 48 votes, well ahead of the second place candidate, who received 28. The body was to act as both a parliament and a constituent assembly.
When the CNT began working in early May 2013, Nguendet explained to the body that it would have all normal legislative powers during its existence, with the exception of the right to hold a vote of no confidence in the government.
After Djotodia resigned following a CEEAC summit on 10 January 2014 as a result of his failure to contain escalating sectarian violence, Nguendet took over as Acting President. In August 2015, following the adoption of a proposed new constitution, Nguendet called on the people to approve the proposed constitution in a referendum "to allow our country to get back on the path to a normal constitutional order".
