PSG - OM : REVENGE MATCH TODAY !


In the League Match on Sunday February 25, 2018 Paris SG beat Marseille 3-0.  The referee issued 11 yellow cards (PSG 6, Marseille 5) for niggling infringements.  

Neymar, the PSG magician, he is a modern day dribbler and even more  dazzling than Stanley Matthews was 70 years ago.  Neymar was the prey sought-out by Marseilles until he was carried-off in the 79th minute of the match !

By sheer coincidence, today February 28, in Paris, PSG and Marseille are due to play each other again, this time in the quarter finals of the French Cup.

Already speculation is rife : could Marseille beat a Paris team without Neymar ?   What will the Marseille game plan be ? 

In such a grudge match PSG will probably want to win 4-0 !  And they could do exactly that !

PUTIN, THE CURRENT TSAR OF RUSSIA !


The last Tsar of Russia, Nicholas 2, was executed on July 17,1918 and Vladimir Putin, his latest successor, is the current President who again seeks his "reanointment" in the election on March 18, 2018.  There are 7 other Candidates who finally qualified to oppose Putin.

Since 1999 Putin has been either Prime Minister or President of Russia and he is favourite to be re-elected.   The Russian Constitution was changed to permit Putin to remain as President for more than just two terms of 4 years !   His grip on power is better guaranteed than that of Nicholas 2 !

Now, Putin's clear aim is to restore Russia's former importance, which suffered from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1995 and later from the gradual desertion from the Soviet Union, of several satellite countries which joined the EU in the early years of 2000 ! 

Putin is reported to be the clear favourite to win the election next month.   However, he does face problems at home and abroad. 

Life in Russia is not rosy and any opposition and demonstrations are quickly repressed.  Abroad, he has a Military presence in Ukraine and has snatched Crimea !    Putin has also "sponsored" Bachar al Assad, the leader of Syria, with armes and munitions.  Is his ultimate aim to get a foothold in the Middle East for Russia, by occupying Syria ?

Alas, UNO is only watching closely !  Only effective World-wide Sanctions might stop Putin and Russia !

ACHAT DE COMBLES EN COPROPRIETE



Dans une copropriété, il peut être tentant d'annexer et d'utiliser les combles situés au dessus de la chambre de service dont on est déjà propriétaire.

Toutefois pour intervenir sur les combles, partie commune de la copropriété, et quelle que soit leur superficie ou leur volume, il est nécessaire de les avoir acheter !

Le candidat à l’achat doit soumettre à l’Assemblée Générale un projet préparé conjointement par un géomètre expert, un architecte et validé par un bureau d’études en structures.  Le géomètre expert doit préparer un projet de modificatif de la division de la copropriété.

Pour proposer à l'AG le meilleur prix de rachat à la copropriété, on peut tenir compte de la plus value qui en résultera pour le copropriétaire acheteur.

L’AG se prononce sur la vente à la majorité prévue à l’article 26 de la loi du 10 juillet 1965 : majorité des membres du syndicat des copropriétaires représentant au moins les deux tiers des voix.
La copropriété peut assortir son accord de l’obligation, pour le copropriétaire acheteur, de contracter une assurance dommage ouvrage.
  
Les travaux tels que ouverture d’une trémie dans le plancher des combles afin de  faire communiquer 2 lots appartenant au même copropriétaire sont  également soumis à autorisation donnée par l’AG à la majorité de l’article 25 de la loi du 10 juillet 1965.

Une fois la vente des parties communes autorisée par l’AG (majorité de l’article 26) l’acheteur devra encore patienter deux mois (délai de recours possible contre les décisions de l’AG) avant de passer devant le notaire pour formaliser son achat et entreprendre les travaux.  
Attention ! aucune stipulation d’ordre général ne peut déroger par anticipation à l’exigence d’une autorisation spécifique de l’Assemblée Générale préalables aux travaux affectant les parties communes de la copropriété (en ce sens cass.civ. 3e 2 février 1999) ;  autrement dit une résolution sur la possibilité pour les copropriétaires d'acheter des combles serait dénuée de toute portée juridique.

CORBYN DENIES NO ALLEGATIONS !


The British Press have revealed that Corbyn, the Leader of the British Socialist Party, had several meetings with an Iron Curtain Spy in the 1980s.  

This has provoked numerous questions, but Corbyn has deftly sidestepped all opportunities to reveal the details of the conversations he had with Jan Sarkocy from Czechoslovakia.

Corbyn did however confirm that he was not a "Spy" for Iron Curtain countries !    Alas, a better question could have been "Was he an Informer" ? 

As the Leader of the Socialist Party Corbyn has helped it to recover ; with the turmoil of BREXIT who will win the next UK Parliamentary Election ?   Perhaps not Corbyn.  He faces a crisis which could destroy all his hopes of leading his Party in the next Election. 

Can he convince his newly won Electors, who are generally staunchly BRITISH and PATRIOTIC ?   They may not want to trust a suspected "Informer of Communists"

BRITISH VOTERS EXPECT CORBYN TO EXPLAIN !


Jeremy Corbyn MP, the current Leader of the Bitish Socialist Party, is being pilloried daily by the Press, MPs and Electors, to explain or deny allegations that 30 years ago he was in contact with a Czeck spy, Jan Sarkocy !

Every day there are more comments, more speculation, but the man who could be elected to become the next Prime Minister of Britain, refuses to make an official comment, to quell any of the speculation.  

The normal option is to explain or to deny.  If comments are slanderous or libelous Corbyn could decide to sue for defamation !

At present everyone, particularly Socialists voters, are judging Corbyn : is he the right man to lead the Socialist Party and Britain ?

FRANCE : REFORM OF EDUCATION SYSTEM


The French Minister of Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, aged 53 with a legal background, has announced a profound reform of the Education System.  His mission is part of the Reforms President Macron wants to introduce in France !
 
As noted in a previous article in this Blog, the 32 previous Ministers of Education since 1982, all made "improvements" which led to 87% of schooleavers in France being qualified to enter University !

Alas, too many students failed their exams after their first or second year at University !   Should the students be blamed for their failures or the
Education System ? 

Macron and Blanquer have launched a complete analysis of all aspects of the Education System, and this will take time.  Whatever changes are ultimately proposed, they will provoke opposition from Trade Unions and Political Parties !
