Pointe Sable, Port-Salut. Il est 9 heures pass?, dimanche 3 juillet 2022. Le ciel est cotonneux. Au large s’?tale un cama?eu de gris. Soudainement, tout devient blanc. La pluie, port?e par une onde tropicale, est l?. Les nuages sont lourds, le vent se l?ve et tout, presque tout, ce qui est v?g?tal, bouge, y compris les amandiers de l’h?tel Auberge du rayon vert. ? quelques m?tres de la terrasse, des vagues laiteuses s’?crasent sur ce qu’il reste de littoral. Une ?rosion marine a bouff? la partie sud de la plage.
Sur des dizaines de m?tres, la route, jadis carrossable, a disparu, coupant l’acc?s ? trois h?tels qui recevaient des visiteurs d’autres communes du Sud, d’ailleurs et de tr?s loin hors de nos terres. Dans l’?cume et le fracas du ressac, l’?treinte triste de pans de trottoir en b?ton arm? ? des bouts de bitume remplace ceux des amoureux.
Par endroit, il y a cet empilement de roches et cet espoir qu’arr?te le grignotement d’une partie de cl?ture de cet h?tel. <>, r?sume, en interview avec Le Nouvelliste, Jean Pierre-Louis, h?telier, propri?taire de deux h?tels, <>, <>.

Le Conseil sup?rieur du pouvoir judiciaire, amput? de plusieurs de ses conseillers, a f?t? ses 10 ans d’existence. Une messe d’actions de gr?ce a ?t? chant?e par le r?v?rend p?re Lionel Sainte-Claire de Fr?res. S’en est ensuivie une c?r?monie civile qui s’est d?roul?e en pr?sence des membres des associations des magistrats, du commissaire du gouvernement de Port-au-Prince, de doyens des diff?rents cours et tribunaux, du repr?sentant de l’OEA, du directeur g?n?ral de l’ULCC, du pr?sident du 1/3 du S?nat entre autres.
L’institution, qui a connu une courte p?riode d’interruption, continue de tenir le coup. Tour ? tour, dans leurs propos de circonstance, les conseillers ont parl? de routes parsem?es d’emb?ches, d’?pines pendant ces 10 ans. <>, a d?clar? le conseiller technique du CSPJ, Jean Robert Constant. ? ses yeux, un long chemin a ?t? parcouru mais la route est longue et parsem?e d’obstacles.
Pour le secr?taire technique du CSPJ, Jean Robert Constant, le moment est venu de dresser le bilan et de faire des plans pour l’avenir.
? propos du bilan, le conseiller Carv?s Jean n’a pas voulu se donner de satisfecit. <>, a balanc? le conseiller du CSPJ, pour qui l’institution n’est pas encore en mesure de se r?jouir d’avoir accompli sa mission avec satisfaction et encore moins avec brio.
<>, a-t-il laiss? entendre.
De l’avis du magistrat conseiller Wando Saint-Villier, l’instabilit? politique que traverse le pays a impact? n?gativement le CSPJ dans l’accomplissement de ses missions et dans la r?alisation de nombre de ses projets.
La mont?e infernale de l’ins?curit? handicape la r?alisation de ses projets, a l?ch? magistrat Saint-Villier. Outre cela, a avanc? le conseiller Wando Saint-Villier, les maigres ressources allou?es se situant entre 0,8% et 1% du budget national emp?cheraient d’engager certains chantiers pouvant r?soudre certains probl?mes structurels du syst?me.
Malgr? toutes les contraintes, si l’on en croit le conseiller Wando Saint-Villier, le CSPJ parvient ? am?liorer graduellement et grandement le traitement des juges dans le syst?me judiciaire ha?tien. <>, a avanc? le magistrat Saint-Villier, profitant de l’occasion pour faire un bref historique du CSPJ.
De son c?t?, le ministre de la Justice, Berto Dorc?, a tenu ? exprimer la pr?occupation du chef du gouvernement, Ariel Henry, qui n’est autre que de servir ses gouvern?s. <>, a l?ch? Me Dorc?. Pour le ministre de la Justice, le CSPJ demeure une instance cl? dans la bonne marche de la justice, promettant de mettre tout en oeuvre en vue d’harmoniser les relations entre le pouvoir ex?cutif et le pouvoir judiciaire.

The Private Sector Organization of Jamaica (PSOJ) often capitalizes on opportunities to network.
And since the pandemic put a damper on the spontaneity of hosting these mixers, news that the temporary ban on events and gatherings lit a spark for the marketing team.
They dispatched invites for an ‘artsy mingle’-dubbed shindig at the Sky Gallery in Kingston recently, and it was like no time lost.
‘Twas the second corporate mingle since the ban lifted, with a focus on Jamaican artists and their works.
For some, it was an introduction, and for others, it was a rekindling with familiar artists.
But, the mingle also allowed members within the member companies, associations and individuals, to network, exchange ideas and enjoy the rich local work of the Jamaican artists.
There was no mistaking the purpose of the event, as soon as guests arrived, they were met by art from over x local artists.
From the acclaimed watercolour artist Patrick Waldemar to the up-and-comers like Richard Nattoo.
There were works by Tiana Anglin, Tara Brown, Romaine McNeil, photographs by Donnette Zacca, Kevin Ho, and more.
The PSOJ Artsy Mingle was sponsored by CPJ Limited, JMMB and PBS Technologies.
Thursday evening at the Sky Gallery for art? Don’t mind if we do. With Seagram’s Hard Seltzer in hand, Loop Lifestyle goes in!

Vendredi 8 juillet, le grand public est invité à l’Hôtel de la Batelière de 14 à 16 heures dans le cadre d’une conférence gratuite organisée par l’Ordre des experts-comptables sur le thème : RGPD, êtes-vous (vraiment) prêts ? Entretien avec Steven Prudent, expert-comptable commissaire aux comptes, élu au conseil régional de l’ordre des experts-comptables.
Peut-on réellement se protéger de ce danger ?
On peut toujours se faire attaquer, de manière personnelle ou professionnelle mais c’est la même chose que pour notre logement. On peut toujours se faire cambrioler, mais si on a des systèmes d’alarme et de sécurité adéquats, on sera davantage protégé. Il faut donc mettre en place les mesures de vigilance nécessaires. Cela passe par un certain nombre de préconisations, en commençant par un degré de vigilance des ouvertures d’adresses mail, des liens sur lesquels on doit cliquer, etc., car c’est la première porte d’entrée d’une attaque. On évite aussi de communiquer des informations sensibles par mail. Avec ces simples mesures, on peut éliminer une grande partie du risque.
Quels sont les risques d’une cyber attaque, pour les entreprises ?
Imaginons qu’un cabinet d’architectes se fasse attaquer, il perd tous les plans sur lesquels il a travaillé : tout le travail intellectuel retranscrit est perdu. Cela peut aussi concerner tout un fichier clients. Cela entraîne donc des risques très concrets avec des pertes financières. Il y a aussi le risque au niveau de la crédibilité, en termes d’image. Et puis, c’est aussi une perte de temps car l’entreprise peut être immobilisée un certain temps à cause de cette attaque. Plusieurs entreprises en France ont mis la clé sous la porte après une cyber attaque. Cela fait peur mais c’est une réalité. Il ne faut pas se dire que parce qu’on est en Martinique, on est moins touchés parce qu’une cyber attaque peut venir de n’importe où.
Que peut apporter l’expert-comptable ?
L’expert-comptable est un partenaire de confiance de l’entreprise. Nous devons sensibiliser les chefs d’entreprise et donner des préconisations avec des axes de recommandations. Nous avons une notion d’audit et d’analyse qui est déjà dans notre process de travail. Nous faisons donc une approche par les risques. Bien sûr, ensuite l’entreprise va se tourner vers son service informatique ou un informaticien externe pour mener cet audit. Et ce sont des sujets sur lesquels nous travaillons beaucoup avec la Commission nationale numérique. Nous nous réunissons une fois par trimestre à Paris et ce sujet en fait partie.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Allyson Felix was named to her 10th world championship team, where she will have a chance to run in the mixed relay event and add to her record medal collection.
Felix, whose 18 medals are the most in world-championship history, has announced that this will be her final season in track. At last month’s U.S. championships, she finished sixth in the 400 metres and did not qualify for any individual events. But the 36-year-old was named to the mixed relay pool Tuesday when USA Track and Field released its 151-person roster for worlds.
The world championships run July 15-24 in Eugene, Oregon.
Missing from the roster was Sha’Carri Richardson, who failed to qualify for the finals of either the 100 or 200 metres at nationals. Richardson won the women’s 100 at Olympic trials last year but was banned from the games after testing positive for a substance found in marijuana.
Among those named to the women’s 4×100 relay pool was Gabby Thomas, the 200-metre champion in 2021 who has been dealing with a hamstring injury this season. Thomas finished eighth at nationals last month.
The U.S. will send nine reigning world champions and 29 medalists from Tokyo to the first world championships on American soil. Among those world champions is 100-metre titlist Christian Coleman, who was banned from the Olympics after a case involving missed doping tests.
One headline race of 10-day meet features reigning Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin against reigning world champion Dalilah Muhammad in the 400-metre hurdles.
They have taken turns setting world records over the past three years; McLaughlin lowered it to 51.41 seconds last month at nationals. Muhammad sat out nationals with a hamstring injury. Her world title guaranteed her a spot on the U.S. team.

The future of the Barbados Secondary School Entrance Examination (BSSEE) also known as the 11-Plus or Common Entrance Exam could soon be sealed.
Deputy Prime Minister Santia Bradshaw made the revelation while speaking to the media at the Springer Memorial Secondary School today after meeting with students at the exam centre.
“I am well aware that the paper on the reform [of the education system] has been finally completed, and is before the Prime Minister for consideration and then on to Cabinet. So, I can expect that those decisions will be made very shortly,” she disclosed.
The former Minister of Education, detailed that the Mia Mottley-led administration has made efforts to gradually reform the education system, with the introduction of robotics, and the widening of the school curriculum to include technical and vocational skills.
“We have been talking with the principals trying to get them to understand that we have to create specialist institutions. Looking at what their strengths and weaknesses are so that children and parents start to make decisions on which school to go to. Not on the basis of which grandparent or parent went to school there but they start to make decisions based on the fact that they have an interest and they have a skill in a particular area or they are an academic in a particular area. So once that process has started and it is ongoing, I believe that we will get to the point that there is greater acceptance in relation to the abolition of the Common Entrance in due course.”
She acknowledged that though the groundwork has been done, changing the mindset of Barbadians will take some time. The Deputy Prime Minister voiced that the transformation will not occur instantly.
“People feel very dear and near to the Common Entrance Examination. It is what we all have grown accustomed to and in order to make that transition, you have to change mindsets you have to improve the schools. We had to put in place the Director of Educational Reform to work with the various institutions [and] educators in order for us to make that transition so I would say it is not an overnight process,” she remarked.
She added that Education Minister Kay McConney will give the announcement on the abolition of the Common Entrance in due course.
“The pandemic really set us back in terms of our conversation with the public but that didn’t mean that behind the scenes the work was not going on to position ourselves to be able to make that transformation.
“I believe that at the appropriate time the current minister will make the announcement in relation to the final date for the Common Entrance but until then I think we just have to reform and transition education generally in Barbados,” said Bradshaw.
