VIII London Global Forum
7. October 2019 /in Field Trips /by Ines Klughardt
Topic: Book Presentation "Brexit. Causes and Consequences" by Rudolf G. Adam
On Monday, 7 October 2019, Sir Robert Cooper presented to members of Global Bridges and some invited guests the book "Brexit. Causes and Consequences", written by our member Rudolf Adam. The event took place in the Churchill Room at the Carlton Club, St. James, London.
The event was made possible by the generous hospitality of Christiane and Axel Hansing. Among the guests were Dame Pauline Neville-Jones and some prominent journalists.
Sir Robert praised the book as the best account of why and how Brexit became such an obsession in the United Kingdom – or, more precisely, in England. Sometimes, an outsider may be in a better position to see the whole picture than someone like himself who necessarily must be passionately involved. The clear and growing divergencies between the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom are one of the first and foremost dangers inherent in Brexit. By taking away the external ties that bind the country to the EU, Brexit also weakens the internal cohesion of the United Kingdom. The main stumbling block of Brexit has turned out to be the future nature of the border on the Irish island – something nobody foresaw during the campaign in 2016. Sir Robert underlined the mistakes and the incorrect assumptions that guided both David Cameron's and Theresa May's approach to the problem. Brexit has resulted in a constitutional crisis. The balance of power between the Crown, the government, Parliament and the people has been radically upset and at the moment a fight is going on who will prevail. It is dangerous to mobilise the people against their rightful and legitimate representatives. A referendum should never replace decisions of Parliament. A referendum can comment or correct decisions by Parliament but it should never become a substitute.
The central, and as it turned out, almost irreparable omissions were:
Firstly, the predominantly negative rhetoric about the EU which completely overshadowed the many advantages of membership,
Secondly, the total disregard for a systematic information campaign about the problems and consequences involved. Instead, some campaigners bandied around some remarkably unfounded promises.
Thirdly, there was no compelling and uniting vision of what should replace EU-membership Brexit was a negative concept, saying "no" to a status quo without saying "yes" to something new. I was like setting off on a journey whose destination was unknown and turned out to be hotly contested. This negative approach has paralysed decision-making and led to the repeated negative votes in the House of Commons which seems to oppose all sorts of initiatives without being able to generate a solid majority to support an outcome.
Sir Robert put it succinctly: "52% are no majority as long as they all mean different things." Both Sir Robert and Rudolf Adam showed themselves sceptical about the democratic qualifications of a referendum. A lot of precautions have to be taken to ensure that people who vote know what they are doing. Switzerland has a lot to learn from. In Sir Robert's words, the referendum of 2016 had been organised in a remarkably sloppy way. Referenda, like all political decision, have their half time after which they lose their relevance. Another mistake was to invoke Article 50 and thereby setting the clock ticking without any coherent concept about the strategy and the tactics of negotiations. May allowed herself to be put at a serious disadvantage by the sequencing decided by the EU-Commission which insisted on first completing the withdrawal treaty and only then discussing future arrangements, although the wording of Article 50 suggests a parallel, if not an inverted approach.
There followed a vivid, animated discussion. The present divide in British society cannot be healed by procedural means alone. Neither a snap election nor another referendum would calm the present situation and create the necessary consensus to move on. What is needed, is a sober, informed, rational, open, nationwide discussion in order to sort out national priorities. An election will not produce a clear, overwhelming majority; more probably, it will result in another hung parliament. And a referendum would presumably not only give rise to another, even more truculent campaign, it would in all likelihood not yield the necessary majority to put the matter to rest. Rudolf Adam pointed out that the hope that a referendum could put a contentious political problem to rest "once and for all" is, by all historical experience, an illusion.
The events of the next day (indiscretion about Johnson's telephone call with Merkel and the leaked memorandum from No 10 about radical ideas how to proceed with Brexit in the face of mounting resistance) gave additional relevance to the event.

Guest post by Jost Zetzsche, originally published in Issue 16–12–268 of The Tool Box Journal.
Some of you know that I've been very interested in morphology. No, let me put that differently: I've been very frustrated that the translation environment tools we use don't offer morphology. There are some exceptions — such as SmartCat, Star Transit, Across, and OmegaT — that offer some morphology support. But all of them are limited to a small number of languages, and any effort to expand these would require painful and manual coding.
Other tools, such as memoQ, have decided that they're better off with fuzzy recognition than specific morphological language rules, but that clearly is not the best possible answer either.
So, what is the problem? And what is morphology in translation environment tools about in the first place?
On the other hand, there is a reason why we're stuck where we are. It happens to be cost. If you really have to manually enter morphology rules for all languages, it quickly becomes a Sisyphean exercise (starting with: "What exactly are all languages?"). If you do it just for the "important" (which in the eyes of the technology vendors means "profitable") languages, you end up with the situation we already have with the tools mentioned above.
A few years ago, a group of folks including myself had the idea to crowdsource the collection of morphology rules for and with each language-specific group of translators. Once the rules were collected, they could then be integrated into the various technologies. It sounded good, but it was hard to get the project started due to a lack of funds to build the necessary infrastructure and/or the time it would have taken to raise funds, among other issues.
Enter translation environment tool Lilt with a very cool proposal that may very well be the solution. Lilt's latest version introduces a "neural morphology" engine for all presently supported languages minus Chinese (so: EN, DA, NL, FR, DE, IT, NO, PO, PT, RU, ES, SV).
Here is the honest truth, though: When I first read the press release a couple of weeks ago, I fondly rolled my eyes and thought to myself that the folks from Lilt were just thinking it was wise to throw a little "neural" around while it's hot.
It turns out I was mistaken, however, as I found out when I talked with Lilt's John DeNero, who is the architect of this part of Lilt's system. John tried to explain to me what the system does and why it can make a big difference. It was not so hard to understand the second part, but my feeble untechnical mind had a hard time with the first part.
This article provides a good summary of the system, which essentially analyzes large monolingual corpora, detects morphological modifications (in theory, they could be any kind of modification; in practice, Lilt focuses on suffixes right now), and classifies them. Since any word is evaluated and also classified within a context, the system is able to distinguish between the adverbial ending -ly in English when it encounters "gladly" vs. "only." Using the same contextual analysis, the system is also able to make very educated guesses about the morphological transformation of unknown words. (For instance, it might never have encountered "loquacious," but chances are it would assume — correctly — that the adverbial transformation would be "loquaciously").
This works with every language (that uses morphology — therefore excluding Chinese, for instance), provided there is enough corpus material to train the system. The time it takes for a new language to be trained is about 2.5 days (on very powerful computers). That's it.
Now, it's not perfect (whatever is??). John was very open in his assessment about where the system fails. It tends to fail with irregular morphology (it might not recognize "geese" as the plural of "goose" or "well" as the adverbial form of "good"), and there are about 5% of all cases where John felt that the engine should have made a correct judgment and it did not.
On the other hand, terminology hits have increased by a third for its users since Lilt introduced the system two weeks ago.
I consider this a quantum leap — in particular because it will not only benefit the large European and Asian languages (where applicable) but the long tail-end of other languages as well. Well, you might say, Lilt covers only a handful of languages, so doesn't that end up being the same thing? The answer to that is (a two-fold) no. First of all, you can expect Lilt to continue to add languages, and — even more importantly — the module used to build these neural morphology engines is open-source and available for every translation technology developer right here.
So, get on it, Kilgray and SDL and Atril and Wordfast and, and, and . . . .
It's also very promising that there are other areas where morphological knowledge can be used by a translation system: How about actively changing the inflection of a term that is automatically inserted based on its usage in the source? Or how about changing that inflection when repairing fuzzy matches? Or when repairing machine translation suggestions?
The sky's the limit with this. Be creative!


I don't know if the idea originated from him, or some advisors, or even some Dagombas, because it lacks sensitivity and is quite provocative. Dagbon is a traditional area that has just come out of a very traumatic period of its history involving regicide and social disharmony. The least politicians can do is allow it a period of quiet and introspection to recover. A period for Ndan Yaan Naa to pick all the pieces and unite his people into the once proud and productive kingdom Dagbon used to be. It is not for politicians to try to reap where they have not sown. After all, the original sin leading to the protracted unrest was perpetrated under the watch of the NPP of which Mr. Akufo-Addo was a cabinet minister. An incompetent security handling of a volatile situation bungled things into major tragedy. Over two decades on, many questions still remain unanswered – but for the sake of peace, it should remain that way until when a future generation, devoid of the divisive baggage of the present and immediate past can confront the history and give finality to it..
So why will you put the credibility of a traditional leader in jeopardy for your political gain? After you have created the false impression of allegiance to you, what happens when a different party comes to power? This is an unfair and perhaps even disrespectful political branding. Our constitution insulates our traditional rulers from partisan politics! That billboard is a clear example of political branding which should not be countenanced. In fact, if there should be any billboard saying thank you, it should be one showing Ndan Yaan Naa and His Majesty Osei Tutu II, Asantehene, who can be credited with midwifing the peace process to its desired end. And there will be an added significance to such a billboard that would not be lost on those who know and respect the traditional and historic bond between Dagbon and Asanteman...The Asantehene himself cautioned politicians from claiming credit as the peace process spanned Kufuor, Mills, Mahama, to the present.

Q: python program gave two different output Why two different outputs from these programs?
First program
#!/usr/bin/env python
sum = 0
for i in range(1,11):
    sum = sum + i
print("Sum of first 10 natural number :", sum )

Sum of first 10 natural number : 55

Second program
#!/usr/bin/env python
sum = 0
for i in range(1, 11):
    sum = sum + i
    print(sum)

1
3
6
10
15
21
28
36
45
55

A: Due to different indentation you get different results:
Code 1:
sum = 0
for i in range(1,11):
    sum = sum + i
print("Sum of first 10 natural number :", sum )   # <--- considered outside for loop

Output:
Sum of first 10 natural number : 55

Code 2:
sum = 0
for i in range(1,11):
    sum = sum + i
    print(sum)    # <--- considered inside for loop

Output:
1
3
6
10
15
21
28
36
45
55

A: In the second case, your print statement is inside the loop so it runs after every single accumulation.
In the first case, being outside the loop means it executes only when the loop is done.
In Python, indentation is very important.

Staff at Huntingdon race course have donated food to a Huntingdon homeless shelter after the horse racing was cancelled.
Huntingdon racecourse was forced to cancel the event due to an outbreak of equine influenza across the country.
The British Horseracing Authority made the decision to cancel racing at all British racecourses today (Thursday), leaving Huntingdon racecourse with vast amount of food that was to be used for catering for 'Mansionbet go racing raceday' event.
Staff at the racecourse decided to donate the food to a Coneygear Court, a homeless shelter in Huntingdon, as they didn't want to see it go to waste.
Conyegear Court is a homeless charity that helps individuals and families in the area that are homeless.
Situated on Coneygear Road, the shelter provides fully furnished rooms for people who are struggling, with them sometimes housing up to 50 people at a time.
The racecourse announced today that they would be cancelling the racomh ypdau and that all tickets will be automatically refunded.

After your baseboards have been beautifully cleaned, your Rabbit-One does not need to sit idle. Centaur floor machines has developed the world's first integrated Splashguard that contains all mess and liquids underneath the machine, making it your best friend for stripping and polishing floors. With the Splashguard on, you can utilize 18″ of cleaning or diamond polishing power, and if you ever need to get into tight areas, you can quickly remove the SplashGuard and your machine will downsize to just 13 inches. This is usually left for buying a secondary machine, however this one machine can do both!
Why Choose Centaur Floor Machines?
Will the machine do a better (faster / more efficient) job of cleaning than another manufacturers machine?
How long will the machine keep going for, before it breaks down?
Will the machine give you better value compared to another make and model?
Those are really the only three criteria worth considering if you're a prudent professional cleaner.
There is… ONLY ONE TRUSTED manufacturer that all prudent professional cleaners eventually turn to.
Here are the reasons prudent & professional cleaners end up choosing Centaur machines.
As you probably know, the most important component in any commercial cleaning machine is the motor.
So guess what Centaur does in the case of its swing machines?
Centaur employs expert machinists (with years of experience) to take apart and REBUILD the motors… before assembling the motor into a machine and releasing it for purchase.
Why does Centaur undertake this extra, labor intensive process you ask?
Because they fuss over everything that goes into their machines.
Just like a high-performance car getting a souped-up engine from a NASCAR team – Centaur floor machines get a souped-up motor BEFORE they are allowed to be sold.
Every Centaur machine is entirely HAND-BUILT.
All Centaur machines are also made from the highest-quality (longest-lasting) components.
Centaur takes the meticulous "Rolls-Royce" approach to manufacturing and assembly.
Where every component of each machine is tested individually as the machine is built.
So what's the result of this hand-built craftsman's approach?
Well, a Centaur floor machine will typically still be working 30 to 45 years after purchase and a Centaur vacuum will typically still be working 15 to 25 years after purchase.
(Funny true story: A guy recently phoned into Centaur to say the vacuum his mother had bought when he was 16 was beginning to "growl" and sound a little odd. And could he buy a new one. The Centaur representative said sure and asked him how long ago the machine was purchased. The caller said, well I'm 60 now, so that would have been 44 years ago).
Contrast that "working life span" with other commercial cleaning machines.
While other vacuum cleaners will only last you between 2 to 5 years before quitting on you.
Centaur floor machines last 30 – 45 years.
Other manufacturers floor machines last around 5 – 10 years.
What's the overall benefit of Centaur machines lasting 3 to 9 TIMES LONGER than other manufacturers machines?
A Centaur machine will have a higher residual / resale value — highest among the competition (Centaur machines depreciate the least).
ONE Centaur machine can typically do the "jobs" of 2 to 3 machines from another manufacturer.
So yes, Centaur machines ARE priced higher than other manufacturer machines, but their VALUE is higher, and the overall real "cost" to you is lower.
The only "maintenance" required on a Centaur machine is to give it a clean over from time-to-time.
Well, just about every prudent professional cleaner eventually gravitates to using a Centaur machine. And they nearly always wish they'd done so sooner.
Why not get the ball rolling today… and look into all the advantages and "life-time cost savings" a Centaur machine gives you?
I'm confident in saying that any cleaner with a Centaur machine will tell you it will be one of, if not the, best investment you'll ever make in professional cleaning.


Then I rented it to a friend of mine for a few years.
Then it was my iguana's bedroom.
And now it's an office thanks to my husband's ability to wire it for internet and phone.
There are kid's books that I get and figure I should put them online and I make a pile and feel ambitious. Then after a couple of beers, I start fishing out only the most fun and clean of these books and leave the ugly ones and boring ones.
Pretty soon, my office is full of ugly and worn and boring kid's books with clumps of dust and pet hair clinging to them.
And that makes me feel tired and the neglectful attitude spreads to everything else in my office.
Today, however, I finally took some time and got my office back on track.
I found a good place to set up these cool cat perches that I bought on QVC. I put one on either side of a wooden loveseat frame that is presently minus its cushions. The cats think it's pretty groovy.
I sorted all the books into three boxes; antique mall bound, bookstore bound, and those to be catalogued at home.
I dusted and dusted and took out the trash.
I had a private hissy fit last night and finally threw out my old tv; the one that makes watching tv like being half-blind in a dimly lit pumpkin.
The good part of that is that I put in a different tv that is a normal tv.
I found a state business form thingy that was due yesterday.
My iguana is ill and it makes my heart hurt to share this room with her and look over and see her nose every minute.


I am editing a large medical center that has many building and kinds of roads. There is a large parking structure (building) for general patient/family use. The rest of the parking spaces that are spread around the complex are restricted to various reasons that you are there.
Is there an existing way to specify this type of parking restriction (to reflect the posted signs) or would this need to be a new feature/attribute? Note that there can be different parking restrictions on each side of the road or parking aisle.
You always have the option to enter manually tags which are not in the presets.
This helps a little. I know that the values I request are not preset, so in a way, I am asking them to be standardized.
However, I don't see how a parking aisle can specify the spaces on the north side are handicapped and those on the south side are for Emergency Room use (as an example).
Somewhere on the wiki page of amenity=parking there is a link to amenity=parking_space. This is used to map individual parking spaces withing a parking lot. You can then apply any access restrictions you like (incl. new ones you invented) to the individual spaces.
Perfect! This is what I was looking for.


Inside the LIRNE.NET community, we have for some time been discussing a program of research centered on what we all mobile multiple play, a convergence of services around the transactional capabilities of the mobile phone and its unparallelled connectivity.
Spearheaded by a special group of 19 mobile operators with networks in over 100 countries and representing over 600 million customers, GSMA believes the programme could double the number of recipients of international remittances to more than 1.5 billion, while helping to quadruple the size of the international remittances market to more than one trillion dollars by 2012.
To combine the strengths of the mobile and financial ecosystems, mobile operators are partnering with banks at a local or regional level, while GSMA is setting up a pilot project with MasterCard Worldwide, a global payments leader whose cards and network provide international authorisation, clearing and settlement.
GSMA and MasterCard, which has a 25,000 member-bank network, plan to pilot a global hub that will link together national markets and the local payment systems run by mobile operators in partnership with those local banks.
The hub will enable migrant workers to transfer money and notify their families via mobile phone.
"The creation of a global hub will enable the mobile networks, which now cover more than 80 percent of the world's population, to offer the world's burgeoning migrant population a convenient way to securely and cost-effectively transfer money to their families back in their home countries," said Rob Conway, CEO of GSMA.
"The programme will resonate with governments because it makes the international payment market more transparent, encourages financial inclusion, reduces crime and boosts the flow of hard currency into their countries," added Conway.

Lithuanian municipality election 2015 results
2015 03 02. The key part of Lithuanian municipality elections have ended and most results are already known.
All the municipality council members and 19 out of 60 mayors have been already elected. The remaining mayors will be elected in the runoffs held on 2015 03 15.
Party results
Map of the leading parties in each municipality.
©HNIT-BALTIC (map), ©Esri ArcGIS Online (system).
Both in the council and mayoral elections Socialdemocrats have prevailed, receiving 19,03% of total vote and 356 seats. However, their positions are the strongest in many rather unimportant rural municipalities and minor in the main cities.
Homeland Union (15,72% of total vote, 247 seats) won some rural councils and also many seats (but not the first place) in all the city councils, where it will likely be a part of the ruling coalition.
Liberal Movement (15,54%, 216 seats) came close behind, winning the key elections in Vilnius and Klaipėda (but a coalition will be needed in both), as well as a few rural municipalities. Liberal Movement's results are thought to be the most impressive as the party has largely consolidated once-fragmented laissez-faire voters community under its own banner.
Labour Party (8,42%, 148 seats) won the few municipalities it traditionally dominates, such as Kėdainiai, the hometown of its leader Viktor Uspaskich.
Tomaševski's caucus (Lithuania's Poles Electoral Action + Russian Alliance) (7,76%, 68 seats) once again caused southeast Lithuania to vote along ethnic lines, winning the Polish majority areas and gaining some votes from the Russian/Russophone community.
Peasants/Greens (6,82%, 138 seats) continued their traditional dominance in some particular rural municipalities where it is seen as the best representative of the local agricultural communities.
Order and Justice (5,6%, 84 seats) may be the disappointed about its result as it fell behind other parties even in its leader's Paksas's homeland Samogitia where it once prevailed and came first merely at 2 municipalities.
Freedom Union (5,09%, 57 seats) may have lost even more as the liberal voter drifted towards Liberal Movement. Another comeback attempt of Freedom Union's leader is likely unsuccessful as the party led no municipality councils.
Non-partisan electoral committees have shown up unexpectedly well (10,59% of total vote, 115 total seats), with the most well-funded ones prevailing in some key municipalities, including the cities of Kaunas, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, and Alytus. This may indicate a protest against the party system as many voters regard the parties to be either "stained in scandals" or "caring primarily about Vilnius".
Mayors and the councils of major cities
Vilnius City
In Vilnius (pop. 550 000), the most prized possession, incumbent Artūras Zuokas (Freedom Union) barely made it to the runoff with 18,36% of votes, where he will face Remigijus Šimašius (Liberal Movement, 34,53%). Zuokas has especially divided opinions about him, ranging from admiration for his "grand projects" (e.g. a municipal airline, bicycle rent and taxi services) and publicity stunts, to intense hatred of such actions as "wasteful and corrupt". Šimašius is seen as a "new face" who had made his reputation in his recent tenure as minister of justice, characterized both by modernization reforms and alleged mishandling of some major long-term issues (e.g. "giving in to lobbying effort" and paying over 100 million to an American-led Jewish organization as a "compensation for Soviet-destroyed religious properties", while such compensations were not available to any other minority nor to the local Jewish religious communities). Valdemar Tomaševski, an ethnic minority leader, has been left 3rd with 17,25% of the vote.
All three political groups will be represented in Vilnius council, with Liberal Movement gaining 26,34% (15 seats), Tomaševski's caucus 17,19% (10 seats) and Freedom Union 11,27% (6 seats). They will be joined by Homeland Union (14,74%, 8 seats), Socialdemocrats (7,86%, 4 seats), the new Lithuanian List protest party (6,23%, 4 seats) and Order and Justice (4,65%, 3 seats).
Kaunas City
In Kaunas (pop. 320 000) businessman Visvaldas Matijošaitis (electoral committee, 37,81%) has prevailed over incumbent Andrius Kupčinskas (Homeland Union, 25,22%), but a runoff will be needed. Visvaldas Matijošaitis, the owner of Vičiūnai food industry group, is among the richest people of Lithuania, which helped him fund a massive campaign. Andrius Kupčinskas is a professional politician. After completing his political studies he had a successful career, becoming mayor of Kaunas aged 32 back in 2007.
Kaunas council elections mirrored the mayoral elections, with Matijošaitis's electoral committee gaining 29,69% and Homeland Union 23,19% votes (16 and 13 seats respectively). Homeland Union percentage changed little since 2011 elections, while Matijošaitis gained his support from other parties. Socialdemocrats (8,08%, 4 seats), Liberal Movement (8,09%, 4 seats) and another electoral committee (4,69%, 3 seats) will also be represented in the council.
Klaipėda City
In Klaipėda (pop. 160 000), the popular jazz musician/mayor Vytautas Grubliauskas (Liberal Movement, 43,16%) fell short of being elected in the first round and will have to face Agnė Bilotaitė (Homeland Union, 12,08%) in the runoff. Once the youngest member of parliament and former Miss Photo Klaipėda, Agnė Bilotaitė, now 33, is a famous name for Homeland Union, but she will fight an uphill battle in the Liberal-dominated Klaipėda.
The Liberal dominance is also echoed in Klaipėda council elections where the Liberal Movement received 31,62% of votes (11 seats) and Homeland Union 12,35% (4 seats). Being a city with a strong Russian minority Klaipėda will also have many Tomaševski's representatives in the council (11,86%, 4 seats) as well as one Russian Union representative (4,15%). Socialdemocrats (8,11%, 3 seats), Order and Justice (4,38%, 2 seats) and two electoral committees (8,27% - 3 seats and 6,76% - 2 seats) will also have their councillors.
In Šiauliai (pop. 105 000) parties suffered a major blow as two non-partisan candidates will contest the runoff: Artūras Visockas (17,15%) and Valerijus Simulik (15,43%). Their respective electoral committees gained 12,76% and 11,66% votes in the Šiauliai council elections, leading to 5 and 4 seats respectivelly Socialdemocrats (17,83%), the traditional power, won the most (6) seats. Liberal Movement (11,98%, 4 seats) and Homeland Union (8,99%, 3 seats) also showed up strongly. Peasants/Greens, Labour, People's Party and Order and Justice gained 2 seats each.
Panevėžys City
In Panevėžys (pop. 100 000) the incumbent mayor Vitalijus Satkevičius (Homeland Union) chose not to contest the elections and his party offered Maurikijus Grėbliūnas instead. He came second in voting (16,03%) after architect Rytis Mykolas Račkauskas (22,65%), who represents Povilas Urbšys's electoral committee. Urbšys, a former head of local anti-corruption agency (who is now an MP), famous for solving some key cases, has amassed immense popularity in Panevėžys - which he now transformed into municipality votes. His committee also received 20,44% of votes (7 seats) in Panevėžys council election, leaving 16,49% (6 seats) for the Homeland Union, 12,21% (4 seats) for Peasants/Greens, 10,79% (4 seats) for Socialdemocrats, 6,82% (3 seats) for Labour. Liberal Movement and two additional electoral committees have also passed the threshold of 4%, gaining 2 seats each.
Vilnius District
In Vilnius district (pop. 100 000) incumbent Marija Rekst (Tomaševski's Poles' Electoral Action) triumphed once again, her 60,02% of votes precluding a runoff and holding on the post she has since 2004. Her party will continue to hold the majority in what is a minority-majority municipality (60,83% votes for Vilnius District council and 20 seats out of 30). Still, however, as Vilnius District population is rapidly growing together with the suburbanization of Vilnius, the ethnic breakdown is changing in favor of Lithuanians, meaning that in the future political life there may become more diverse. After all, back in 2011 64,72% of local residents have voted for the Poles' Electoral Action.

Nuclear chair resigns as governance crisis boils on – Moneyweb

Nuclear chair resigns as governance crisis boils on
Necsa chairman Rob Adam, who served jail time for sabotage of the Koeberg nuclear plant in the 1980s, falls on his sword.

The goings-on at the Nuclear Energy Corporation of SA (Necsa) over the last two years seem incomprehensible even to people who work there.
Read: Sack the Necsa board before it wrecks the company – union
Moneyweb has learned that chairman Rob Adam, who replaced suspended chairman Dr Kelvin Kemm barely six months ago at the insistence of former energy minister Jeff Radebe, has resigned his position.
He resigned on Thursday (July 4) with immediate effect, stating that his "full time work as MD of the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory means that I am unable to give the Necsa role the attention it deserves."
Others in the company believe the reason is more likely to do with governance issues highlighted in an internal Necsa document which was passed on to Moneyweb. Curiously, Adam served 10 years in jail as an anti-apartheid activist for sabotage of the Koeberg nuclear power plant in Cape Town in the 1980s. He later ended up at the top of the country's sole nuclear company.
His resignation has been welcomed by labour, which regarded Adam's appointment as irregular and illegal. He is also regarded as one of the architects of a plan to axe 400 staff at the nuclear company.
Read: Fight between energy minister and nuclear company board gets nasty
An internal document from Necsa's chief legal advisor Vusi Malebana – addressed to the minister, the Necsa board and the director-general of energy – highlights numerous governance and legal breaches by the company:
The company's auditors (EY) were improperly appointed, and audit fees of R10 million (compared to the previous year's R5 million) are likely to escalate despite there being no appointment letter authorising the commencement of services. "Necsa has exposed itself to an irregular expenditure finding or litigation to pay audit fees," says Malebana's letter. The auditor-general is responsible for auditing state-owned companies, but often sub-contracts outside companies to conduct specific tasks.
The appointment of an acting CEO by Radebe violates the Nuclear Energy Act. Only Necsa employees may assume this position. Three acting CEOs have been appointed in a matter of months. Gavin Ball is supposed to take over as acting CEO on Monday (July 8). This too violates the act as he is an employee of NTP Radioisotopes, a subsidiary of Necsa. Necsa has also exposed itself to potential liability over the aborted appointment of Alan Carolissen as acting CEO.
A turnaround strategy plan for the company envisages laying off 400 workers. This was submitted to the Department of Energy without consulting Necsa's executive committee (exco) and in violation of Section 189 of the Labour Relations Act, which demands consultation with workers and unions if any retrenchments are contemplated. This turnaround strategy was withheld even from Necsa's exco. "As a form of courtesy the board should have at least sought input from the Necsa exco as a sign of good corporate governance," says the internal document.
The board started advertising for the Necsa CEO position without briefing the minister, whose job it is to appoint the CEO. This was done knowing full well that suspended CEO Phumzile Tshelane is challenging his 2018 dismissal in court where "the board-appointed MNS Attorneys have as much as conceded that the case against the former CEO [Tshelane] is weak at best. Continuing with a process to fill a post without ministerial blessing in the face of a possible adverse CCMA finding exposes Necsa to huge financial risks."
The legal advisor also says it is doubtful whether Necsa has adequate insurance cover in place, "if at all". "The board is hereby advised to inform National Treasury and the minister of this risk as it will be the South African Government which will have to stand good for any potential nuclear liability should such an occurrence materialise."
Read: SA's nuclear reactor shut down – again
The Safari-1 nuclear reactor, which produces life-saving medical isotopes that are shipped to more than 60 countries around the world, has been shut down three times in 18 months for safety lapses which are really lapses in paperwork. The reactor was shut down for months by the nuclear regulator because the paperwork was not in order. That has cost the company R3,5 million a day in lost sales and has ravaged the financials of a once model state-owned company that two years ago made a R300 million profit, but is now asking parliament for a R500 million bailout.
Trade union Nehawu (National Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union) says this crisis was manufactured by Radebe, whose portfolio has now been taken over by mines minister Gwede Mantashe. Radebe interfered in the running of the company and suspended the previous board for "defiance and ineptitude". Few at Necsa believe any of this.
"The real problem started when the former minister of energy Jeff Radebe interfered in the running of what was a great and profitable company," says Zolani Masoleng, Nehawu branch chairperson at Necsa.
"He suspended the previous board for no good reason. We now have confirmation that Necsa was planning to lay off 400 workers which is what we suspected all along. Before this company is wrecked completely we are calling for the removal of the current Necsa board, as well as Tina Eboka [MD of the subsidiary NTP, which produces the medical isotopes]."
The suspended directors – former chairman Dr Kelvin Kemm, former CEO Phumzile Tshelane and director Pamela Bosman – are challenging Radebe's decision in court.

To the Venerable Brothers, Archbishops and Bishops of the Kingdom of Poland.
We deplore the abuse by which Christian marriages, even long-stable ones, are now dissolved in the Ecclesiastical Courts of Poland. This abuse involves dissolution without due cause or in violation of canon law, and threatens grave injury to the faithful. We warned about this in Our Brief of April 11, 1741, and We exhorted you in the name of the Lord to watch over the flock entrusted to your care. We also warned that We were considering measures of redress and a suitable opportunity to pursue this matter.
Meanwhile We had learned that an evil custom of hidden marriages, more popularly known as marriages of joint knowledge, has spread throughout much of the Christian world. Among the resulting irregularities is that hidden marriages of this sort were themselves being dissolved where other marriages were publicly celebrated. In another encyclical letter to the Venerable Brothers, Patriarchs, Primates, and all Bishops on August 26 of the same year, We prescribed that the aforementioned evil custom must be abrogated and the provisions of the sacred canons and the decrees of the Council of Trent must be accurately observed.
2. Besides all this, in Our well-known letter of November 3, 1741, We enjoined laws and rules concerning the validity and nullity of marriages. Therefore ecclesiastical judges, carried away neither by fault or dishonesty nor by inexperience or ignorance, can safely pass sentence on the validity or nullity of marriages, using justice rather than their own inclinations.
3. Moreover it was alleged and objected that this sort of evil arose because such cases were handled by unqualified judges. In another encyclical addressed to all the bishops, We therefore enjoined and commanded that each one, together with the council of the Cathedral church, make a list of suitable judges and send it to the Apostolic See. Also Our letter of November 3, 1741 took pains to add that in appropriate circumstances attention should be turned to the authority of nearby bishops; if it should happen that this is not possible, only then should another proficient and suitable judge be selected.
4. We were thus confident that these abuses and all irregularities everywhere would with God's blessing be completely abolished; however, We learned with sorrow that new deceptions and subterfuges had been found there by which these saving ordinances could be eluded. The soul shudders to repeat the agreements which the litigants now reached. For instance one of them, after the ecclesiastical judge had nullified the marriage, dared to appeal and was held for the payment of a sum of money to the other (who acquiesced in the opinion). The soul also shudders because the judge instructed the appellant to make all kinds of payment.
5. Having thoroughly investigated these matters, We have concluded that the irregularity and confusion in Poland arise for the most part from the manner and custom by which marriages are conducted there. Very often indeed the proper pastor is not even present for the marriage ceremony because the duty to witness the marriage has been delegated to a randomly-selected priest, even without the knowledge of the proper pastor. The banns announcing a couple's intent to marry must appear on three feast days during a solemn mass in the parish church of both. But these are often dispensed with, even though there is no legitimate and urgent reason to do so.
6. Therefore all avenues are closed by which one could determine whether a marriage is contracted with the necessary liberty and consent; when any such impediment exists between the contracting parties, the marriage must be dissolved and declared void. So the conditions are set for annulling marriages, even those consecrated in the Church. At times it is argued that the marriage was entered upon by force or by fear, in either case without the free consent of one or the other of the contracting parties; at other times a legitimate and canonical impediment is alleged, which could have been known before the marriage was contracted if it had not been purposefully concealed; also at times, and this happens more frequently, a marriage is annulled because it was contracted before another priest, even with the consent of the parish priest or of the ordinary bishop but without the necessary and usual formalities. Certainly it is clear that these dissolutions of marriages in Poland are a source of evil and an open door to crime. Furthermore the canonical benefit of appeal, which one of the spouses can enjoy after the case is decided in favor of the other, is impeded by these frauds and subterfuges. Finally these frequent marriage dissolutions are not without the gravest offense and scandal to the upright.
7. To remedy this pernicious evil, We, with certain knowledge and after mature deliberation, declare all pacts between spouses for the dissolution of marriages to be null, invalid, and ineffectual, both now and for the future. We also annul those pacts which interfere with the appeals process, even if the pacts were approved by oath, and even if they were agreed upon before the publication of our most recent letter. So that no such pact may ever be considered valid and obligatory, We inflict the penalty of excommunication on anyone entering into a pact, from which no one can obtain absolution except through Us and Our successors, except at the hour of death. Besides We declare that any judge who may have dared to announce and further the pacts We mentioned before also incurs or will incur the same penalty of excommunication. We again confirm whatever is contained in the aforementioned last letter or in our Constitution, and especially all that concerns the procedure and order of the appeals from the unsuccessful defender of the marriage, and the sentence of the judge against the annulment. We bid your Brotherhood again to publish and disseminate the same letter and command that this be done as though it had been expressly inserted word for word in the present letter, just as We desire its tenor to be expressed and inserted in this present letter.
8. What We have said on the subject of matrimony up to this point sufficiently informs the faithful of the sanctity of marriage. They may now approach this great sacrament with that reverence and piety which is fitting, and regard it as indissoluble. Nevertheless We feel that We must also set forth to you the distinguished and salutary rules of other wellorganized dioceses where lawsuits concerning marriages and their annulment are rare.
9. The pastor is obliged to witness in person the marriages celebrated in his parish unless a legitimate and grave reason prevents him.
10. Before the publication of the banns, the pastor himself must take care to question both groom and bride separately to determine whether they consent voluntarily and freely to marry. He must also strive to determine whether there is any impediment and, if so, what the nature of the impediment is; whether one of the contracting parties has been engaged and given a solemn promise to another, and whether the sons and daughters contract with the consent of the parents. After the pastors have diligently explored these and other relevant matters, if they find anything in these questionings either lacking or potentially harmful, they must suspend the banns and refer the possible obstacles to their own bishop, who will judge the matter.
11. Now if the parish priests find nothing to prevent the banns from being announced publicly and according to custom, then the banns are published on three successive feast days during the mass. This follows the prescriptions of the Lateran Council under Pope Innocent III and those of the Council of Trent, so that any impediment heretofore unknown may be revealed by those who hear the banns.
12. Bishops watching vigilantly over their sheep know that matrimony is valid before any priest, not just the parish priest, if the proper pastor or the ordinary of the place has granted the necessary permission. The bishops can also dispense with the banns, or permit only one instead of three, or even none, to be read, if an urgent and legitimate reason exists. Nevertheless they should take diligent care that they do not use this authority indiscriminately, both in dispensing with the banns and in permitting any priest rather than the proper pastor to witness the marriage. Should necessity demand, they are not to grant this authority at once, but only after they are convinced that there is no impediment between the contracting parties.
14. This kind of episcopal concern and diligence regarding matrimony removes almost all dissolutions of marriages; let us therefore follow this path. Direct your steps on to the age-old, well-trodden way, commended by the Council of Trent and established for all the bishops to follow. See to it that parish priests and other spiritual leaders, called in part to share your labors, expend similar diligence and integrity in exercising their ministry. Do not let an easy goodwill remove the juridical presence of the proper pastor, necessary for contracting marriage; likewise, do not grant another priest permission to witness a marriage for some trifling reason. The canonical laws concerning nuptial banns are to be scrupulously kept, since they can hardly be passed by without offending and scandalizing many. Keep them yourselves, and see to it that they are observed by other interested parties.
15. Do not abuse the easy dispensation of the banns without due cause. It has inflamed lawsuits and loathing, and cannot serve as a model for further action. A pernicious custom does not establish a norm for action, but serves as a reproach of evil deeds.
16. It is asserted that the hasty and extensive granting of these commissions and dispensations was due to the example and encouragement of the Ordinary of the Apostolic See in Poland, at the time Nuncio, who was excessively indulgent in this area. Whether truly or not, in virtue of the authority given him, he can grant these and other dispensation, We have restrained the authority of the present Polish Nuncio in this matter, so that your Brotherhood, with the example and encouragement abolished, may for the future abstain from these commissions and dispensations.
17. Therefore, We want you to know that We intend to apply our authority to more efficacious and stringent remedies for curing these evils. Even after so many exhortations and prescriptions of Apostolic providence and authority, We did not succeed in abolishing the former litigation concerning marriage and separation. You certainly understand that We could justly and reasonably reserve the trials of matrimonial cases even in the first process. But We leave to the bishops the first and to the metropolitan the second process. We then decree that in Polish matrimonial trials the sentence concerning the nullity of a marriage, both in the first process by the bishops and in the second by the metropolitan, may not be executed unless both judgments with their arguments are first examined and approved by the Cardinals, who are the interpreters of the Council of Trent. Moreover any marriage contracted after both judgments have been delivered in your courts, whether or not the Cardinals are considering the matter, We declare to be null and void, both now and for the future.
18. This present letter and whatever it contains is to stand firm, valid and efficacious, and to obtain its plenary and full effect, is to be observed inviolate by all whom it concerns now and will concern.
19. Finally We desire that all the copies and imprints signed by the hand of any public notary and bearing the seal of a person of an ecclesiastical dignity, are to be given the same faith in the courts and outside of them which would be given to the present letter if it were presented or displayed.
20. For the rest, We beseech and exhort you to choose individual ministers and officials for your curias who are outstanding in all the Christian virtues, and commended by long experience. Vigorously enjoin on them that each one has many tasks to perform in his ministry. And you yourselves must maintain your vigilance. Remember the account to be rendered to the Prince of pastors Jesus Christ for the flock entrusted to your care, and remember the eternal reward in heaven promised to those who have fought lawfully. Meanwhile as a sign of your success, and of a richly deserved abundance of heavenly grace, We lovingly impart the Apostolic Blessing to your Brotherhood.
Given at Rome, at St. Mary Major, under the Ring of the Fisherman, on May 18, 1743, in the third year of our Pontificate.


The Phoenix Theatre announces its first season in its new space. Highlights include a Steve Martin musical, Edgar Allan Poe and many, many murders.
A Steve Martin musical, Edgar Allan Poe hijinks and many, many murders highlight the Phoenix Theatre's 2018-19 season.
Fiddle-and-banjo beats of Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's "Bright Star" kick off the Phoenix season on Sept. 21. The Tony- and Grammy-nominated bluegrass Broadway musical tells of a literary editor who grew up roaming barefoot in North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains becoming a well-to-do magazine editor in Asheville. She meets a just-returned World War II soldier, who reminds her of a son she once lost.
Murder and comedy may seem to be odd bedfellows, but "Cabaret Poe," a macabre musical collaboration between the Phoenix and Q Artistry that opens Oct. 5, pulls it off. Edgar Allan Poe goes pop as a Broadway-style musical sets his works to music (yes, "The Raven" makes an appearance).
The musical hilarity continues with the 13th edition of the Phoenix's annual holiday show, opening Nov. 23. This year's theme is "Merry Superstitions," and while we're not yet sure what that entails, we're hoping one of these 13 made-up Indiana superstitions makes an appearance.
On a more somber note, a man who committed two murders while in the grips of withdrawal has one request for his last meal: a slice of his mother's apple pie. As the sole character seen on stage in a 75-minute play, his mother, Miriam, meditates on the relationship between mothers and their children — and the responsibility she ultimately bears for her son's actions. "Apples in Winter" opens Jan. 11.
Following up on the one-woman monologue is one in which actors pop between personalities — four actors handle 16 characters in "The Hotel Nepenthe," every one of them lost, lonely and longing for connection. Jesus Christ, Harriet Tubman and a transvestite fairy are all involved in the mystery thriller, opening March 1.
Closing out March is a megachurch pastor who doesn't believe in hell, and decides to get his secret off his chest in a Sunday sermon. The only problem — he believes his congregation will embrace his message. "The Christians" opens March 29.
In "The Children," opening April 26, two nuclear engineers settle down to a quiet retirement on the British coast (the lack of neighbors can be attributed to the melted-down nuclear power plant a few miles down the road). Then a blood-spattered former colleague shows up on their doorstep.
The season closes with a third murder production, this time in musical form. Based on the true story of America's first serial killer, "White City Murder," another collaboration with Q Artistry opening June 14, tells the story of H.H. Holmes's "Murder Castle," a death factory masquerading as a hotel where the Chicago resident seduced, swindled and then slaughtered his victims in the late 1800s.
• "Bright Star," by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, Sept. 21 to Oct. 7.
• "Cabaret Poe," by Ben Asaykwee, co-production with Q Artistry, Oct. 5 to Nov. 4.
• "A Very Phoenix Xmas 13: Merry Superstitions," by Various Artists, Nov. 23 to Dec. 23.
• "Apples in Winter," by Jennifer Fawcett, Jan. 11, 2019, to Jan. 27, 2019.
• "The Hotel Nepenthe," by John Kuntz, March 1, 2019, to March 24, 2019.
• "The Christians," by Lucas Hnath, March 29, 2019, to April 14, 2019.
• "The Children," by Lucy Kirkwood, April 26, 2019, to May 19, 2019.
• "White City Murder," by Ben Asaykwee, co-production with Q Artistry, June 14, 2019, to July 7, 2019.
The Phoenix Theatre is located at 705 N. Illinois St. Tickets are available online at phoenixtheatre.org or in person at the box office.

Special official funeral for King Thulare
President Cyril Ramaphosa has honoured BaPedi King Victor Thulare III with a Special Official Funeral Category 1.
The King passed away on Wednesday, 6 January 2021 at the age of 40.
President Ramaphosa officially recognised Thulare as King of the BaPedi in 2020, said the Presidency.
Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Deputy Minister Obed Bapela handed over the certificate of recognition to His Majesty in May last year.
Special Official Funeral Category 1 is reserved for people of extraordinary credentials specifically designated by the President of the Republic of South Africa.
The President has since authorised that the national flag be flown at half-mast at every flag station in the country from today until the evening of the day of the funeral on 17 January 2021.
The King has been lauded for having played a major role in sowing the seeds of unity in the BaPedi Kingdom.
According to the President's Office, the special official funeral is declared in condition of compliance with regulation 11B, sub-regulation 8 of COVID-19 lockdown regulations of 25 March 2020.
Upon hearing about the King's death last week, the President said he mourns with the BaPedi people, who have lost a leader in the prime of his life and who had great aspirations for the unity and development of his people.
"We are deeply saddened by the untimely passing of Kgoshikgolo Thulare and wish the Thulare Royal Family and the BaPedi people strength during this difficult time of grief."
The King will be laid to rest in Sekhukhuneland in Limpopo on Sunday. – SAnews.gov.za

'It has to be done.': 84-year-old plays honorary 'Taps' tune at more than 2,400 veteran funerals

🤧 🤩 💕
Published by Elizabeth Grow: Dec 14, 2021 Updated: Oct 14, 2022
The tuba was too big, he couldn't play the piano, and the strings didn't strike a chord. So, when it came time for Phil Kowzan to pick an instrument in the third grade, he was drawn to the bright tones of the trumpet. Now, 75 years later, Phil is using his musical talents to honor veterans and their families across the Inland Northwest.
"I don't get too emotional. I try to concentrate on playing the best taps I can. I don't want to mess up. It has to be perfect," said Phil.
Several times a week, 83-year-old Phil Kowzan, a retired Army Lt. Colonel, drives 45 minutes to the Washington State Veterans Cemetery to play taps for a veteran or soldier laid to rest. He wears his Army dress blues with a white shirt, pressed by his wife, Carol.
Wearing white gloves, Phil stands off in the distance and slowly plays the 24 unmistakable notes of taps. In just 45 seconds, Phil takes the grieving family on a musical journey that is equally heartbreaking and soothing for the soul.
"When I'm finished, I will just walk off, and sometimes the family will come and find me and say they really appreciate it," said Phil.
Phil started playing taps by chance. In 2001, a neighbor, who was a veteran, died, and Phil attended his funeral. He asked the honor guard if they had a bugler at the burial.
"They reached out of their car and brought out a tape recorder. I said, 'No way, not for my friend, Ivan.' So, I pulled out a trumpet from my car," said Phil.
Phil played taps a few times that first year and then transitioned to the bugle. Since 2001, he's played taps at more than 2,400 funerals.
"I just feel like, why not? I can do it. It wasn't meant to be played on a recording. It's just not personal that way. I want them to get the real thing, the live taps," said Phil.
When the honor guard is short a few people, Phil will often step in and help with folding the American flag, presenting the flag to family, and then playing his bugle. He hopes sharing his story will highlight the need for honor guard volunteers and bugle players.
This month, Phil will celebrate his 84th birthday. He will play the bugle and taps until he can no longer hold a note. And even then, the music will carry on.
"It has to be done, and I hope one day I can have a live bugler at my funeral," said Phil.

Until paid, assessment will constitute a lien against assessed property equal in rank and dignity with the liens of all state, county, district, or municipal taxes and other non-ad valorem assessments. Assessments become delinquent in the same manner as for unpaid taxes, and failure to pay the upcoming assessment will cause a tax certificate to be issued against the property which may result in loss of title. Assessments will likely be collected on the same bill as for taxes in this and subsequent years.

Parametric Analysis of Laminar Flow-Based Wavy Channel Fuel Cells
Graduate #118
Discipline: Technology and Engineering
Subcategory: Civil/Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering
Hector Gomez - California State University, Los Angeles
Co-Author(s): Arturo Pacheco-Vega, California State University, Los Angeles
A three-dimensional laminar flow-based fuel cell (LFFC) numerical simulation has been carried out to find the current-voltage distribution and power density through a channel. The system is a Y-shaped LFFC with two separate inlets, where fuel and oxidant enter and flow in parallel alongside each other. A novel geometry (based on a sinusoidal function, i.e., a wavy channel) has been implemented and tested numerically to increase the performance of the fuel cell system. The LFFC uses formic acid and oxygen, saturated in sulfuric acid, as the fuel and oxidant, respectively. The aim is to analyze the effects of wavy channel compared to a straight channel on the performance of LFFCs. The amplitude is varied from 0.1 to 0.5. A second set of experiments will demonstrate the results of integrating harmonics into the wavy channel. In addition to the wavy channel comparison, the second aim is to analyze the effects of operating conditions and geometrical parameters on the performance of LFFCs. The width (2mm), length (5cm), and inlet angle (45⁰) were varied from 1mm to 3mm, 3cm to 6cm and 0⁰ to 180⁰, respectively, with channel aspect ratio obtained from literature. The inlet velocity (from 0.1 to 6 mm/s) and inlet concentrations of formic acid (from 1M to 15M) at the anolyte and oxygen (from 50mM to 200mM) at the catholyte channels were varied. The governing equations are given in terms of the Navier-Stokes, Butler-Volmer and conservation of species along with Darcy's equation to model the flow absorbed by the porous electrodes, and are solved using the finite element method. At low Reynolds number, they exploit the lack of turbulent and convective mixing, allowing the fuel and oxidant to travel side by side reacting at the electrodes. The mathematical model was verified with published experimental work. Results were obtained in the form of polarization curves and power density graphs. We have demonstrated that the wavy channel LFFC systems had better performance due to the reduction in diffusion and depletion boundary layers. The concentration fields also demonstrated the correlation between the increase in diffusion and depletion boundary layers and the decrease in power density. We have also shown that LFFC systems with higher fluid velocities and oxygen concentration significantly improve the power densities. However, when the fuel concentration was increased, the cell performance had insignificant impact compared to the other operating conditions.

SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — The English Premier League game between Southampton and Aston Villa was briefly halted after a drone was spotted flying around St. Mary's Stadium late in the first half on Saturday.
Referee Michael Salisbury instructed all players to leave the field minutes before the scheduled halftime break, and match officials waited near the tunnel.
A short time later, the drone was gone and play resumed.
A similar incident occurred one year ago in London when play was suspended for nearly 20 minutes in the first half of a league match between Brentford and Wolverhampton because a drone was hovering above the field.

Jules Cantave
Note de press from CSDPJ President Jules Cantage
Here is a picture of Note de press from CSPJ President Jules Cantage.
On Friday, May 27, 2016, by a presidential decree, Jean Danton Léger, the Government Commissioner of the Court of First Instance (CFI) in Port-au-Prince, has been appointed as the new representative of the floors to the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ). The news of Danton's nomination as a new advisor was not communicated to the President of CSPJ Jules Cantave officially; the President of CSPJ learned about Danton's appointment from the media. The news came to the Judiciary President Cantave as a surprise and he felt stupefied. The President of the judiciary felt irritated and reported the press that the decision of the Provisional President Jocelerme Privert overriding the judiciary is illegal. The term of a CSPJ member is for 3 years and such member cannot hold any other post, anywhere else during his/her tenure with the CSPJ.

Me Jules Cantave,
Here is a picture of Me Jules Cantave, the new Provisional President of Haiti selected to replace Michel Martelly.
On February 10, 2016, as per an agreement to designate a Government of transition to solve a possible vacuum of power in Haiti, the outgoing President Martelly with the bicameral committee composed of senators and deputies representing the three branches of the Haitian government, including the Executive, legislative and judiciary, responsible for electing the interim president have installed Me Jules Cantave, the President of the Court of Cassation and the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ), as the new Provisional President of Haiti. Me Jules Cantave has assumed charges of his office on February 14th for 120 days with a responsibility to organize the presidential election on April 24, 2016. The Provisional government will remain responsible to rule Haiti after Martelly's departure.
Who will be the next president of Haiti?
As Michel Martelly getting ready to leave office, many are asking one question: who will replace him either temporarily or permanently?. Who will have this heavy task to put things in order. So far, the three most likely candidates are: 1) the current judge of the Court of Cassation Jules Cantave, 2) the president of the Senate Jocelerme Privert 3) the actual Defacto Prime Minister Evans Paul.
On the other side, I also know that based on interest, many people would see it differently. Do you see it the same way i do? Do you see something evolving that i have not seen yet?
Do you have any suggestion?
