Kim Kardashian and Kanye West rocked by claims their marriage is OVER after six years
January 6, 2021 admin Lifestyle News photo
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been rocked by claims that their six-year marriage is over.
DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for the couple, who have so far been unavailable for comment.
'They are keeping it low-key but they are done,' a source has claimed to PageSix. 'Kim has hired Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks.'
The bombshell report also claims that 'divorce is imminent' between the Hollywood power couple, who have been leading separate lives over the past year, with the rapper based at his $14 million ranch in Wyoming.
'Divorce is imminent': Kim Kardashian and Kanye West rocked by claims their marriage is OVER after six years
Meanwhile, TMZ are reporting that the couple have been in marriage counselling for a while and that 'divorce is on the table'.
Their source says that Kim has been going back and forth about splitting from Kanye for good but 'no final decision has been made'.
It comes after a particularly turbulent year for the couple and one in which an increasingly erratic Kanye launched his failed bid for the US presidency amid what was claimed to be another bipolar episode.
A source told the publication that while Kim has previously tried to protect and help her husband during his mental health struggles, 'this divorce is happening because Kim has grown up a lot. She's just had enough of it.'
After a string of concerning outbursts from Kanye over the summer, both in public and on social media, the couple were photographed in Wyoming in late July as they met for marriage crisis talks.
A distraught looking Kim was seen in a car with her husband as they appeared to be having an emotional discussion.
Shortly after, they jetted off on a trip to the Dominican Republic with their kids for a 'make or break' trip.

But it's been months since they've been seen together.
And it's not gone unnoticed that Kanye, 43, has featured in none of the Kardashian family Christmas photos in recent weeks.
The hip hop star hasn't been active on Twitter since the November presidential election and has only been photographed a handful of times since then, without Kim, driving to and from his office in Calabasas.
The last time he was publicly seen with the Kardashian family was at Kim's 40th birthday celebrations in French Polynesia in October.
It's thought that the Power hitmaker is currently back in Wyoming at the ranch.
A separate source told Page Six that Kanye, 'is completely over the entire family… He wants nothing to do with them,'
They added that the rapper eventually found their long-running E! reality show 'unbearable.'

It's also reported that Kanye flew to Tahiti for just one day during Kim's birthday celebrations.
'He showed up late and left early, he wouldn't appear in any of their Instagram shots. All he did was bring over the hologram of her father Robert Kardashian, then got out of there as fast as he could,' the insider added.
Last month, it was reported the couple – who married in 2014 and have four children together – were still together but 'living separate lives'.
A source told PEOPLE the duo were 'very much living separate lives'.
'Kim has work and projects that are important to her, and Kanye has his,' the insider added.
The source said Kim and Kanye's lives 'don't overlap much' and Kim is happy focusing on the causes she's passionate about.
Indeed, Kim has been keeping busy with numerous projects including her SKIMS clothing line and her legal work on prison reform.

If the couple decide to move forward with a divorce, they will need to decide who gets their $60 million Hidden Hills, California, mansion which they renovated together.
They bought the property for $40 million and then spent around $20 million to overhaul it, transforming it into a minimalist all-white oasis with the help of Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt.
Page Six reports that Kim will want Kanye to let her have the home because it's where their kids are being raised.
'She owns all the land and adjoining lots around the house but Kanye owns the actual house. They've both put a lot of money into renovating it.' a source said.

Amid Kanye's erratic behavior last year, the TV personality spoke out for the first time about her husband's bipolar disorder and asked the public for compassion and understanding about her 'brilliant yet complicated spouse'.
'Those that understand mental illness or even compulsive behaviour know that the family is powerless unless the member is a minor.' she wrote on social media.
'He is a brilliant but complicated person who on top of the pressures of being an artist and a black man, who experienced the painful loss of his mother, and has to deal with the pressure and isolation that is heightened by his bipolar disorder.
'Living with bipolar disorder does not diminish or invalidate his dreams and his creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may feel to some.
Erratic: The rapper got emotional at his first campaign rally in South Carolina in July while discussing abortion and claimed he and Kim once considered aborting daughter North
Mental health battle: The rapper's behavior was increasingly erratic over the summer as he suffered a major bipolar episode
'That is part of his genius and as we have all witnessed, many of his big dreams have come true.'
It came after weeks of Kanye's bizarre Twitter meltdowns, public overshares, and an emotionally charged presidential rally where he suggested that he and Kim once considered aborting their first child North.
He also accused Kim of cheating with Meek Mill and called her mother Kris Jenner 'Kris Jong-Un', while also claiming the family were trying to force him into psychiatric treatment.
Sources told PEOPLE at the time he launched his campaign in July that he was experiencing an episode amid his bipolar disorder.
Kim and Kanye first met in 2004 on a music video shoot when the KUWTK star was still married to Damon Thomas, who she married in 2000.
Early snap: Kim confirmed her romance with Kanye in June 2012 and they announced they were expecting their first child that December
Kanye at the time was dating model Alexis Phifer. He went on to date model Amber Rose for two years, splitting in 2010.
That same year the Fade rapper attended Kim's 30th birthday while Kim was with Dallas Cowboy's player Miles Austin.
They finally got together two years later, in 2012, after Kim's short-lived marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries, which she ended after just 72 days.
Kim confirmed her romance with Kanye in June 2012 and they announced they were expecting their first child that December.

I am posting all of this to get everyone's feedback. This will be my first conversion and I am open to everyone's thoughts, criticisms and whatever else you can throw at me! Please feel free to tear my idea apart or build onto it. I don't have the bike yet but I am hoping to get ahold of it by the start of July. We shall see.
I think you are on your way to a great conversion!
An AC35 geared for 90mph top speed would be a beast. I would shoot for the 100ah cells so that you can reliably get all the power possible from the controller. Now that would be a very healthy size pack on a conversion (11.5kwh) and should easily get you 70+miles at 70mph. Now if you can't fit all of it just lower your voltage a bit (probably shoot for 96v).
Hope you do this project. Think it would make an awesome bike.
Sweet! A converted 'busa would be so awesome.
I have GBS 60Ah cells and the 7601 (650A) controller. The 60Ah cells are pretty stiff and I can pull over 650A without sagging below 2.5V. 100Ah would have an easier time, but it's going to be really tough to fit that many 100Ah cells even in a busa frame...especially with an AC-35 tucked in there too.
Headways would let you get more volts and/or Ah in there, but it's a much more involved build process.
Sounds like a good one! So true about the Busa being aerodynamic, relatively speaking anyway. That may be a conversion that actually drops a few pounds.
I noticed your avatar. Cool looking bike. Was that a Ducati Monster? Anywhere I can see more pics?
Yup - Headway ends up being more expensive, and a lot more work. Also not recommended if this is your first build...there is enough to figure out without worrying about getting 200 individual cells to cooperate.
GOOD LUCK! Cant wait to see..
Thanks Brutus. Nice website. Now I remember seeing your bike on this elmoto here with transmission and watching a video of you riding it. For some reason, it didn't look familiar when I saw your avatar pic. Great build.
Oops, I guess I should say builds. That's what threw me, number 2 looks a bit different. Very cool cafe style build.
email me, if you're looking at either an AC31, let me know, because I've got one that is new, but out of warranty (motor) and we can order a controller for it (under warranty). Could save you a little bit. My friend gave up on his project and it's just been sitting for a year.
Awesome, I will let you know! I wont have my chassis till the 13th of July it looks like. Then I will get some specs off it, run some numbers and figure out what I need. I am super excited though and cant wait!!!
Sounds like it's going to be a fun project. Have you collected other parts yet?


Holly Madison set to join Las Vegas Million Dollar Quartet in December 2013, according to the Show that plays at Harrah's Hotel Casino, center strip.
It is no secret that Holly Madison was the reason for the success of PEEP Show. No offense to those that took Her place after She left or on a temporary basis during Her tenure. The show was Holly Madison as much as it was PEEP Show, plenty of People called the show, "That Holly Madison Show". Will She do the same with the Million Dollar Quartet? Time will tell, but it probably will be a much smaller part than She had in PEEP Show. Madison left PEEP Show in October, 2012 to Have Her baby. She is now back in shape and ready for whatever costumes they prepare for Her. She is one of the true beauty's to ever perform all over Vegas. The role I would like to see Her in is a Marilyn Monroe musical, which I would think would be a huge hit in Vegas or New York.

Joel Greenberg Timeline: From rising Republican star to federal charges
Greenberg faces 33 federal charges
Published: April 7, 2021, 11:34 PM Updated: April 8, 2021, 3:19 PM
SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – In 2016, Joel Greenberg entered the race for Seminole County tax collector roughly 100 days ahead of the primary election. Greenberg defeated longtime Republican incumbent Ray Valdez. The political newcomer began making headlines and, according to a federal indictment, bad decisions.
The one-time rising Republican star now faces 33 federal charges. Here is a timeline showing Greenberg's steps and possible missteps since he was elected.

May 16, 2016 – According to campaign finance reports, Greenberg self-funds $100,000 into his newly-established tax collector campaign.
Aug. 30, 2016 – Greenberg defeats longtime incumbent Ray Valdez in the Republican primary. Much of Greenberg's campaign is self-funded and he runs on the promises of destroying corruption inside the Seminole County government.
May - Nov. 2017 – While Greenberg is learning the ropes of his newly elected office, federal authorities allege Greenberg engaged in "commercial sex acts" with a minor older than 14 but younger than 18. They say he allegedly used the state's driver's license system (D.A.V.I.D.) to obtain the photograph and license number of the minor victim for sex trafficking purposes. (Ct 2, 4 of 3rd superseding indictment)
According to the indictment, Greenberg used customers' discarded licenses at the tax office to make the fake licenses, which were done to facilitate commercial sex acts. Greenberg searched DAVID records for individuals with whom he was engaged in "sugar daddy" relationships.
Here's a look at the charges former Seminole County tax collector Joel Greenberg is facing.
(Scroll down to read the entire 3rd superseding indictment.)
June 29, 2017 – Greenberg announces his employees can now openly carry guns. In an interview with News 6, he said the move is to save taxpayers $350,000 on security hired to accompany deputy tax collectors while they are on the job. "The main purpose of this is to provide security for our employees and customers and to safeguard the assets of the county," Greenberg told News 6. "I hope we never have to. I pray we never have to, but I'd rather have it and not need it."
July 8 - 10, 2017 – Shortly thereafter, Greenberg and an advisor head down to Miami to meet with Gaetz, a newly elected Congressman serving on the House Judiciary and Armed Services Committees.
Greenberg spends roughly $917 to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel, according to an expense report obtained by News 6. According to the memo portion of the report, Greenberg was there to discuss the new "deputy revenue officer program" with Gaetz. The program was supposed to be a first-of-its-kind law enforcement agency inside the tax collector's office: a dream that never quite took off.
That same weekend Greenberg posted a now widely circulated selfie to his Twitter account, featuring the tax collector, Gaetz and infamous former Trump campaign advisor Roger Stone.

(Note: The tax collector is responsible for issuing IDs and driver's licenses to county residents.)
However, Greenberg registered the company, Government Blockchain Systems LLC, to himself and a 22-year-old staffer he hired for advice on blockchain technology.
"It is probably an error," Greenberg told News 6. "I should have put 'tax collector' on there instead of just my name." The filing was amended two days later.

Slipped on wet floor while getting a snack: Will she get comp?
An employee went to the company vending machine to get a snack. She slipped, fell and fractured her pelvis. She applied for workers' comp which her employer denied. How did a court rule?
Joyce Wood worked as a part-time receptionist for the Centers for Youth & Families (CFYF) in Arkansas. On Jan. 14, 2014, when there was a lull in activity at the front desk, Wood walked to the vending machine. On her way there, she slipped on water in the hallway and fell, fracturing her pelvis.
When she applied for workers' comp, her employer denied her claim. She took her case to the Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission where an administrative law judge (ALJ) heard her appeal.
Wood said that on a typical day, after going to the vending machine, she would immediately return to her desk where she could eat her snack and perform her job duties.
Finding Wood to be "an extremely credible witness," the ALJ found her injury compensable. On appeal, the Commission upheld the ALJ's rule.
CFYF took its case to a state appeals court.
Did she leave her job duties?
The appeals court said the test in these cases is whether the employee was carrying out the employer's purpose or advancing the employer's interest, directly or indirectly.
CFYF pointed to another case to make its argument. In that case a truck driver, who was responsible for his vehicle and its contents at all times, left his truck at the loading dock to use the restroom. After using the restroom, the driver went into a break room to get a snack from a vending machine. While in the break room, the driver slipped, fell and injured his shoulder.
The Arkansas Court of Appeals decided the driver was doing the exact opposite of what was required of him by failing to stay with his truck and that he wasn't in a position to perform his job duties.
But the appeals court said Wood's case was different. Wood was permitted to leave her work station for various reasons, including getting a snack from the vending machine, as long as the telephone wasn't ringing and guests weren't in the reception area.
The court said the Commission could reasonably conclude that Wood's brief trip away from her desk to get a snack didn't detract from her job duties, which benefited her employer, directly or indirectly.
For that reason, the appeals court upheld the Commission's ruling that Wood should receive workers' comp benefits for her broken pelvis due to the fall.
What do you think about the court's decision? Let us know in the comments.

Hi and welcome everyone visiting, I am an Australian who has been playing sims since the very first and loving it. I never really did much building until Sims 4 and I never used the forums until Sims 4 and wow was I missing out.
I have really got into the competitions and learning a lot from them. I was mainly only using the Aussie forums other than for competitions until now and thought I would share my progress with you all here to.
I have made some amazing friends on this forum and I can't imagine not having them in my life to chat to now, but in saying that I've also met some not so nice people to. My advice ignore the bad and cherish the good .
Please feel free to comment and any positive or negative feedback is welcome as it will all help me to improve. When I started everything was always just square and very boring looking so I have challenged myself to improve. I hope you all like what I have been creating.
I also run a newspaper where I interview simmers in the community its called The Simformer, formally I was doing them for The Gazette thread but I merged my interviews with SimCom.
Recently I have really got interested in the Sim storytelling and after chatting to my close friend @lisa17ann we decided to start our first legacies, I've also posted all the rules and guidelines that we are playing by and we hope you will join us to because we are having loads of fun. It's called The Starborn Legacy and we invite anyone to come join in.
I have lately been brushing off the dust on my graphics programs and skills, I use to do graphic design for some online games and websites years ago.
I have been having a load of fun creating banners for my competitions and also some siggies and banners for some friends profiles and showcases. I am happy to make banners for other threads of yours like comp threads or anything else but I will limit 2 creations per person.
So I would like to offer my services to those who don't quite have the ability to make nice banners or sigs for themselves.
I don't have endless spare time to make them so you may have to be a bit patient but if you would like one feel free to post here or message me. You can chose the colours and themes I will discuss that with you via messages.
I was going to make a seperate thread for them and I may do that in the future but for now I will just update them in my build showcase thread.
I will update the this post with all the banners I have made for people and even though I am not the best at making them I hope you guys like them.
I also ask that people don't ask for more than 1 of each and plan to use them as they do take time and energy to make them and I put a lot of pride in my creations.
I am however happy to update the ones made if you would like something added down the track.
You will be asked to save them to your computer and upload them yourself as I wont keep them uploaded on my photobucket.
So here are the ones I have made so far for people and myself, I won't include the competition banners.
Country Cottage is a wonderful A-frame design, having a lovely Alpine appearance. Great choice of windows and doors providing symmetry and the window boxes and lights really enhance the build. Beautiful landscaping at the front and rear, I love the winding path leading to the firepit and pond. Good interior layout and design. The different woods you have chosen give the build a true cottage feel and the fireplace in the living area looks cosy and homely. Gorgeous kitchen, greatly designed and well stocked.
Tranquil Retreat is a gorgeous well balanced symmetrical chalet with a spacious front deck. Your choice of dark fencing, roofing and trims provide great contrast with the wall finishes, with lights adding decoration. The garden themed balcony on the first floor is a fantastic feature which really uplifts the build. Wonderful rustic interiors using stone floors and panelled walls. The woody furniture is an excellent choice and the beautiful yellow colour scheme gives a bright and sunny feel to the build.
Awesome work with your Glam Pad, it really is true to it's name! Great roof structure to this lovely modern 'shed' design. The beautiful planting and fountain provide a very inviting and welcome entrance to the build. Fantastic pool design at the rear, really love the feature with the tree, plants and rocks. It looks great how you've divided the pool with the lounge area, which looks very chic and peaceful. The monochrome colour scheme of the open plan layout look very elegant and stylish, great effects with the pink lighting!
Regarding the rear of your cottage, I would suggest a symmetry with the windows for this type of design to provide more balance. I think Tranquil Retreat could be improved by using a combination of exterior wall textures to add more interest, ie maybe use a plain render or wood along the middle section where the front door is. I feel the Glam Pad would really benefit from 'bigger' landscaping. There is a lot of land here looking in need of plants, pathways, sculptures, perhaps different areas for seating or activities.
I placed 2nd in the competition for this one which was a huge surprise as I am still learning.
Starstuck challenge is a house for Chalize Theron this was a huge house and took ages but I managed to get it done.
I did have a lot of trouble with the gardens and outdoor area as I just dont feel that confident doing them.
This was fun as I sometimes do watch the tv show The Block an Australian tv show.
Room supplied we just have to decorate with in a budget also we may have restrictions on packs we are allowed to use.
This is a great entry, well balanced good choice of materials, lovely kitchen. Just not sure about that green light. Considering we have two YA males moving into the house it might have worked better if that was made the bar area or even a music/dance area.
This was different and fun they supply a house plan for you to make the house with a budget.
I loved your front yard, it felt very inviting. Pergola area was lovely. I loved the "cottagey" furnishings but thought the 3 large paintings were a little out of sync with the style.
This one was to be built with a mountain/wilderness cabin style with a budget of 60k.
Very nice cabin and I thought the way you did the kitchen island bench was novel. It was a shame that the plants around the roof went astray. I found, even on the right size block, some parts would not line up properly. I know how long that sort of thing takes and I tried to find out why but it did seem rather haphazard. Like fizzlegig, I would suggest you put ceilings on the decks when you are going to cover them with roofing as it give a more professional look when presenting in pictures.
Welcome to this part of the forums! I'm fairly new myself but there are some very nice and helpful people here. I see your strong point is definitely interior. You have some really lovely and colorful work! Exterior is a whole different beast. Finding the right balance of complexity and simplicity to tell the kind of story you want is tough. I think some helpful tips for exterior is to create some sort of unique focal point, whether it be created with light, color or shape. The rest of the build should aim to accentuate it but not compete. For example, your latest build cedar Crescent is quite nice however both the left and right windows are equally as eye catching. The one on the right takes precedence because it sticks out further so you could choose that part of the build to be a focal point. You could pop a gabled dormer above that window to accentuate it more or come up with anything creative you can think of. I think its important to take inspiration from real examples that work when you are uncertain. Don't be afraid to search for images of houses to inspire you! I hope this helps, good luck!

---> My showcase thread is here!
Well this one was interesting, I placed 4th on this one.
I tried to play do something different with the gardens as I am not that good with them so any feedback would be awesome good or bad.
It is definately not a winning entry but my own personal challenge was to work on my skills with the garden and outdoor areas.
Thanks for the tips that focal point will definately help me a lot, most of builds I have posted so far are just my competition entries so they are on a tight budget or the house shell was supplied just had to decorate. Just getting up to date with everything then will post my first big build.
I am learning more about themes and have googled real houses in certain themes for some comps that had asked for a specific ones, I would of been lost without doing that hehe.
I only have 1 or 2 more comp entries to post then will post my first big build I am currently doing its called "Pacific Cove".
This weeks theme is VIVA LA VILLA with a 40k budget and to create a sim hotel magnate for the competition to.
I struggled with the budget big time on this and I think I went to large on the building but I was to far in to change it all.
Also I think my landscaping suffered big time due to me making it to big.
This is such a serene villa! And I loved the pool. My couple loved to play around on the beautiful couches and make a scrumptious dinner upstairs! I liked how you used the space well. Good job!
Think Tiny was the theme this round and we were to build on a 20x15 lot, the main rule being interior floor space can be no more than 50 squares total with a budget of 30k. It was also to be a modern cottage style.
I had a lot of fun building this one and thought I would try something new.
This weeks was to build on any 30x20 either of the following 1. Residential, 2. Retail, 3. Library, 4. Nightclub or 5. Spa.
I had limited time to do this one with a busy week but I chose a Nightclub, I think I could of done a lot better with more time with this one.
Critique:The first impression we got interior was that this was more likely a lounge than a nightclub. SAving on the budget by adding a big dance floor (maybe black or wood) and adding some "disco lighting" would have transformed it more into a nightclub setting, Nightclub are mostly darker inside with subtle lighting inside and some vibrant colors here and there would have made it pop out. Mirrors also makes a nightclub look more finished. We would have liked to see separate toilets for the gals and boys. Sharing these rooms could lead to potential woo woo or fights that might end up in bad news. lol.
I knew I would do badly on this one it was really rushed and would of thought it out a lot better.
Wow! These are really great. I particularly love the architecture on the outside of your houses. It's very unique but still refined and it doesn't distract from the rest of the house.
It is great that you have set up a showcase thread for your builds Each of your contest builds are very nice! I have been enjoying looking at them on the challenge threads. It is nice that you have all the builds together here.
My first real large build and I didn't plan for it to be as large as it has turned out.
My own challenge, building another lot for myself this is just the shell to see if I can create something different and good from scratch. All feedback welcome even if its to add a level of difficulty for me. Not sure if its a little to square looking from the front already but let me know what you guys suggest or think.
I have saved the bare shell to my gallery if anyone would like to have a go at decorating it just let me know, it would be interesting to see a different take on it than mine.
Will post progress as I go it ended up bigger than I had planned so there is lots of rooms and some rooms I have put on the gallery so will supply links.
This bathroom is for guests or family.
Inside next to the pool is an entertainment room for throwing parties they have access to 2 bars, the pool, music area with piano and instruments and of course a massive tv with plenty of seating room. I still have to add some clutter on the walls but its nearly complete.
Please I welcome any feedback good or bad if you think something doesn't look right comment as it is the only way I will learn if I have done something wrong.
@Esine hehe hi and thankyou the more I look at Boeing Sanctuary the more I love it, I was really at a loss of what to do when I first saw that challenge and I really wanted to make a nice garden that was relaxing even though it had a huge plane dumped in the middle of it lol.
So I am pretty horrible at decorating childrens rooms so here is my attempt for a boys room, I didnt want to go to overboard with lots of colors or anything as was trying to stick with the theme for the house.
These rooms are all on the ground floor.
So after doing the home office which is equipped for one person decided the house needed a study/art room for the family.

It was the summer I was in 5th grade: kids were excited that their vacations had begun, and we were all going over each other's houses, planning to stay up all night gaming, gorging on junk food, and just generally putting the school out of our mind as best as we could.
My friend, Chris, had a PlayStation 1 and a copy of Spider-Man. I loved Spider-Man and was a casual fan of Marvel, as much of a fan as a 5th grader could be. Upon booting up the game, the narration begun. It was a kindly old gentleman. He promised us "more super-villains than you could shake a web at, and of course, non-stop, web-slinging, wall-crawling action!" I was enthralled.
Who was this enthusiastic elderly man? I learned it was Stan Lee, co-creator of Spiderman himself, hyping me up to lay the smackdown on some baddies. I loved the narration Stan brought to the game, and it remains a great memory for me.
That's why, when we lost the icon himself on November 12th, 2018 at the ripe old age of 95, the world let out a mournful cry. This was a creative genius who shaped all of our perceptions. From his inspiring quotes, his infectious charisma, and his famous movie and game cameos, we lost someone truly special.
Obviously, his mark on comics was undeniable; Spider-Man, Iron Man, the loveable and dastardly characters of Marvel are now staples in our lives forever. But like this experience I had in 5th grade, I can tell Stan Lee had a hand in impacting gaming as well.
The release of PlayStation 4's exclusive Marvel's Spider-Man in 2018 illustrates this beautifully. It took what I thought was the pinnacle of a video game version of Spider-Man from the game adaptations of Sam Raimi's movie trilogy and blew it out of the water. Never before had I had so much unrestricted freedom swinging from the skyline of New York City, but the absolute fun I had being Spider-Man.
It's almost as if Stan Lee's creations were made to be video games. As fun as watching summer blockbusters of his greatest creations was, being thrown into the rich, multifaceted world of Spider-Man, the X-Men, and others was a thrill never to be topped.
A series that specifically comes to mind is the extremely fun team-based games, 2006's Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It was an action-adventure title by Activision in which the player, and perhaps some friends, would be able to control their favorite Marvel heroes in an action-packed romp through some iconic environments in the Marvel universe.
This was the type of game that I was only able to dream about as a youngster. The sheer possibilities of forming your very own squad were exhilarating; this was your Avengers, your very own version of the X-Men.
In the game, Dr. Doom and the Masters of Evil, (a team of villains including Loki, Ultron, Mysterio, and Bullseye to name a few), launch an attack on S.H.I.E.L.D., and your team of superheroes answers Nick Fury's summons for aid.
What follows is an exhilarating quest in a style that reminds me of the Gauntlet games, in which you face off against villains like the Mandarin, world-eating Galactus, and a mind-controlled Jean Grey.
This style of gameplay was continued in the sequel, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, released in 2009. The team of super heroes is investigating the disappearance of Ms. Marvel on a reconnaissance mission, and find a deep conspiracy involving the military and super villains.
This installment in the series offered exclusive playable characters to certain gaming systems: Juggernaut, Magneto, Psylocke, and even Carnage were now available to stop the bloodthirsty villains of Marvel's roster.
A third installment, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance: Black Order, is slated to be released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch in 2019. It's currently being developed by Team Ninja, the studio that spawned the Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive series, so I can't wait. There's also an untitled Avengers game in develop by Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics, so keep your eyes on the horizon for that.
Another extremely popular game series in the Marvel vs. Capcom games. Starting with Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes in 1998, the crossover game allowed the player to fight as either Marvel super heroes, or famous Capcom characters like Ryu of Street Fighter or Mega Man.
Friends and I spent many long summer nights deep in intense combat, pitting hero against hero to claim dominance. My personal favorite character was Wolverine and my friends were Captain America. The blend of intense combat and extremely fast pace filled my life with an excitement and love for the franchise, and deep appreciation for Stan Lee's impact on gaming as a whole.
Watching comic book characters come to life on the silver screen is breathtaking. The Avengers films are filled with heart-stopping action, witty humor, and loveable characters. It's a great experience, but there's no feeling equivalent to being Wolverine and taking on Dr. Doom with your adamantine claws. You control the action, and Stan Lee is the one responsible for all of it.
The man may be gone, but his impact on the world of videogames and all media is undeniable and will most likely outlast all of us. I know I'm not emotionally ready to see the words 'In memory of our friend, Stan Lee' on the next Marvel film! Thank you, Stan, for everything.

Festival in Focus 2019
EFA Fest Flash Subscribe
Update on the Atelier ELEUSIS, Greece 2019
The first Atelier for Greek Festival Managers, the Greek version of the Atelier for Young Festival Managers, tailor made for the needs of the Greek festivals' professionals, was organized in Eleusis from 15th until 17th February 2019 by The Festival Academy, an initiative of the European Festivals Association (EFA) and Eleusis 2021 European Capital of Culture.
For three days, twenty-five young and emerging curators and festival managers from Athens, Anogia and Chania (Crete), Eleusis, Thessaloniki, Katerini, Kozani and the island of Paros worked intensively on the Atelier's program that aimed at both empowering professionally the participants as well as promoting networking and collaboration between them.
Experienced festival artistic directors such as Mark Ball, Creative Director of the Manchester International Festival and Vidgis Jakobsdottir, Reykjavik Arts Festival Artistic Director, from abroad, and Kelly Diapouli, Artistic Director of Eleusis 2021, Frosyni Trousa, Artistic Director of the ARC for DANCE Festival, and Yolanda Markopoulou, Theatre and film Director, from Greece, presented their curating methods and guided the participants through individual working groups.
The conversation with the mentors made clear the importance of the mission and the vision of a festival for the formation of a strong and clear identity and also for the precise design of its implementation. Moreover, the way that festivals influence the growth and development of the artists and create new opportunities for new artistic productions became a point of special interest.
Under the facilitation of Mike Van Graan, Founding President of the African Cultural Policy Network, participants and mentors defined the key issues related to Greek festivals and raised the following questions:
How can festivals contribute practically to their local communities?
How can Greek festivals become more sustainable
How to build and sustain audiences: elderly, young, immigrants etc.?
How can festivals encourage artistic innovation and improvement?
How do you create a strategic plan for a new festival or renew/innovate an already existed?
How do you develop an effective marketing, communication tools and strategies?
What kind of differing models for curating and programming a festival do you implement?
How can a festival or a project impact throughout the year?
What are the benefits of connecting and collaborating with other festivals?
How can you create a clear identity and a special focus for a festival or a project?
The three-day workshop The first network's priority is to form a toolkit, a complete guide for every Greek festival manager. The toolkit gives instruction from the initiative steps of mission and vision and the selection of the appropriate curating models, until the methods of audience development and ways of increasing the impact to local communities. For the Greek festivals' toolkit design, the participants of the first Atelier for Greek Festival Managers collaborate with Eleusis 2021 and The Festival Academy (an initiative of European Festivals Association - EFA), that offers various training formats on festival management, thus creating the new generation of festival managers all around the world.
Eleusis 2021 and The Festival Academy collaboration takes place in the framework of the long-term strategy of Eleusis 2021 program "Culture 2030" and will be followed by a second edition of Atelier for Greek Festival Managers in 2020 and an international Atelier for Young Festival Managers during 2021, year that Eleusis hosts the title of European Capital of Culture.


Week of green. More of an emerald, forest type green. I really liked all my looks this week and was pleased with all outfits. Although I will say one of the days, I was very wrinkled and crooked. Annoying, but both top and bottoms are smaller sizes and the pants are now too big so I will deal with being wrinkled. The last day, the jeans I am wearing are a size 12. And I needed a belt. So this was the best thing for the week!

Animal lovers will find Disgrace hard going. Dogs feature prominently, and suffer all manner of violence, both cruel and kind. Some are slaughtered senselessly by rogues. Others are euthanased with tenderness by those who see no better future for them.
Humanitarians will find it tough going, too. As in the J M Coetzee novel on which the film is based, the treatment of dogs stands as a kind of inbuilt, brutal fable reflecting the plight of human beings. Disgrace is a film about the shifting nature and misuse of power in post-apartheid South Africa. It paints a confronting picture.
The narrative circles around two occasions of physical assault. The first entails the abuse by a poetry professor, David Lurie (Malkovich), of one of his students (Antoinette Engel) at a Cape Town university.
David is an ageing, malevolent Lothario, all too aware that his position of authority does all the work that seduction would otherwise do — the misuse of power in sexual relationships need not entail physical force. Later, after the relationship is exposed, David appeals to the primacy of desire to justify the damage he has done to his victim.
The second assault takes place after David, disgraced and banished from the university, arrives at the remote farm where his daughter Lucy (Haines) lives and works as a market gardener. Here, in the wild lands of the eastern Cape, David experiences powerlessness: he and Lucy are badly beaten by a gang of black youths. Lucy is gang raped.
David draws a dubious moral distinction between this shocking act and his own misdeeds. He is indignant. The attack becomes a point of tension between him and his daughter. Lucy refuses to talk about it with him, or to take legal action against the perpetrators.
Disgrace portrays a society where power has shifted, and where the citizens have yet to adjust. Apartheid has ended, but racism has not. Equality is still a theory. The characters' world has changed, and while the more pragmatic Lucy struggles to accept and understand the change, David rages against it. He is angry and afraid.
It's a confronting film, but not preachy. It has an almost poetic quality, and ends on an uplifting note. The cinematographer's attention to the textures and colours of the South African landscapes suggests that there is beauty to be found in this story, as well as much ugliness.
Malkovich is captivating. Coetzee's Lurie is a difficult character to like, yet Malcovich finds depths of humanity amid his many foibles. He loves his daughter and, despite his womanising ways, cultivates genuine affection for Bev (Fiona Press), a middle-aged woman for whom he works at an animal welfare clinic.
Interestingly, Disgrace, an Australian co-production, also has an Australian director and producer in Jacobs. Indeed there is a mirror for Australia in the film. White Australia is guilty of its own brand of apartheid, and we, despite the best wishes and actions of many, are yet to resolve the injustices that have resulted.
Disgrace reminds us that reconciliation is more than words. There are challenges both internal and external that must be confronted, and power imbalances to be redressed. Much fear and anger have yet to be overcome.
Disgrace sets out to challenge traditional concepts of power and intimacy. The test of the film adaptation is whether john malkovich is convincing or a parody of his malevolent role in dangerous liaisons all those years ago.
Congratulations on the review. I had a sabbatical from ACU Natonal in 1995 and taught at Rhodes University for one semester. On my first train trip from Rochester to the City I thought I would ride with the Black people in the last two cariages of the train which during the apartheid period Black people travelled. Nelson Mandela was appointed the President just before I arrived thre. However the Marist Brothers with whom I was staying told me never to go in those carriages again.No reasons were given. This was my first introduction to the post apartheid period.
However for the rest of my time there I did not feel threatened but the Brothers told me to keep my bedroom windows closed at night. So the government had changed(ANC) but I soon realised it would take a long time to dismantle the apartheid system.
'Disgrace' is a book whose multi-layered meanings still linger.
I'm relieved to hear that the movie version lives up to the challenges of its progenitor.
The scary thing about the book (and now its offspring) is what disturbing messages it whispers in our ears. I'm looking forward to the movie like a trip to the dentist. Will the drill hurt too much?
This is a balanced & well written review, drawing parralels both from within the movie and to our own society. The plot,characters & photography are briefly covered, leaving the reader of the review knowing that this is an important film, not to be missed.
This review makes the movie Disgrace sound harrowing but compelling. Post-apartheid South Africa promised a change that was perhaps impossible to achieve in 1 generation. Yet films and books that examine their progress towards reconciliation and struggle with deep-seated racial bias help others consider creative solutions. Certainly we in Australia need to continually consider ideas around the acknowledging and elimination of racial injustice.
I would very much like to see this film.
Very challenging review.Do not want to see this movie, as I don't want to see violence.This review brought up a lot of emotions, and really gave an in depth sensitive account of film. It is making me ask, 'why don't I want to see it?' Am I frightened to face the real world?
It is much more comfortable to be warm, and stay in my usual surroundings.
Perhaps I can draw a parallel, between my emotions and some attitudes toward the sexual abuse in the church. Is it better to keep it hidden because it is so nasty, and evil?, No things will never change if we don't allow ourselves to be challenged and to be upset.
It is very easy to criticise other cultures on their lack of social justice. It is not so pleasant to look at ourselves in that respect.
Thanks for the review. I do admire those who attend such films. I would like to be one of them.
It's so easy to sit back in an armchair and see clearly what's "wrong" with the world and to say, "If only they..."! Real reconciliation can only begin when I discover that truly, "The Kingdom of God is within." In discovering this and allowing the God in me to encounter the God in each other, perhaps there is hope for the emergence of a level playing field where mutual respect, reconciliation and love can build a just future for all.
When I heard that Disgrace was being made into a film I hoped an excellent filmmaker got their hands on the story. For me, the power of the book was the subtle emotional and relationship shifts that occurred around big events, not the big events themselves. Film does tend to focus on big events, so I was a little worried.
This review suggests that maybe they got it right after all. I found the violence against animals very hard to read, I am sure it will be harder to watch. But maybe the beauty of the landscape creates a kind of balance. I have never been to South Africa and for me the book conjured up a harsh landscape to fit the personalities and events. I am curious to see what a beautiful backdrop will do to this story.
It will be hard to watch the film after reading this excellent review. Reading the book was enough of an emotional rollercoaster for me and, when you are reading if the tension gets too much you can put the book down and take a walk.
As an Australian who has worked in Southern Africa as well as in Australia my opinion is that this is clearly a film that we all should see.
As the review reminds us reconciliation is more than words and is a long ongoing process. The intersection of power, race and class leaves deep but often hidden scars in national psyches, as well as in the historical memories of all excolonial societies. It reminds us, in the words of the former editor of "Africa South", Ronnie Segal, that reconciliation and the building of a new society is always a "Struggle Against History".
As Australians of the present generation with the responsibilities for change we need to face this reality squarely. The opportunity to see it played out in A South African setting in the film Disgrace is probable a good plaace to start. The review warns us of what we need to face.

During the afternoon session of The Hague Conference on Business and Human Security, attendees participated in the second consultation on the work of the Commission on Global Security, Justice, and Governance. The joint secretariat of the Commission, consisting of The Hague Institute for Global Justice and the Stimson Center (Washington D.C.), identified the conference as an opportunity to solicit the thoughts and experiences of the private sector and corporate social responsibility experts on the Commission's three thematic issue areas: Fragile and Conflict-Affected Environments, the Cyber-Economy, and Climate & People.
The questions posed during the consultation were tailored to a private sector-oriented audience. Two break-out groups were assigned to cover the Fragile and Conflict-Affected Environments (FRACAE) focus area, while one group was assigned to cover each of the Cyber-Economy and Climate and People areas. This decision was based on the markedly higher interest in the FRACAE consultations during registration. As the conference focused primarily on the intersection of human security norms and the private sector in conflict-affected countries and regions, it was unsurprising that many attendees indicated that they lacked familiarity with either cyber-economy or climate and people issues.
Conference participants included a diverse international group of business representatives (mostly from small- and medium-sized enterprises [SMEs], including from conflict-affected countries, with a few representatives from multinationals), nonprofits and consultancies that assist start-ups, multinationals, major nonprofit donor organizations, government officials, and academics.
The consultation began with an introduction of the project's conceptual framework by Dr. William Durch, the Research Director for the Commission and a Senior Associate at the Stimson Center; Dr. Richard Ponzio, Head of the Global Governance Program at The Hague Institute; and Dr. Joris Larik, Senior Researcher in the Global Governance Program. The three speakers explained the Commission's focus on the interplay between security and justice in global governance, both within and beyond the purview of states. This segment of the consultation was chaired by Professor Jan Wouters, Director of the Centre for Global Governance Studies at KU Leuven (Belgium), who also shared some thoughts on the origins and development of the concept of global governance.
Following this introduction, Dr. Peter Middlebrook, CEO of Geopolicity Inc., an international management consultancy and think tank based in Dubai, was invited to comment on the project. Dr. Middlebrook began by sharing his conceptualization of the promise of globalization: the opening of new opportunities to individuals, including those disadvantaged by circumstances of birth. He urged the Commission to keep this end-goal in sight, and also to recognize that injustices in contemporary patterns of capital accumulation are preventing the realization of this promise. Another key trend Dr. Middlebrook highlighted is the dual emergence of hyper-locality and hyper-globalization. While globalization and larger modes of organization are inevitable, there is an increasing number of local groups vying for recognition.
Dr. Middlebrook ended his brief discussion by listing several issues which he felt the Commission had an obligation to consider. First, the world still does not properly understand the implications of the Arab Spring protests, or how to manage the aftermath of this monumental event in regional history. Second, new centers of capital and potential foreign direct investment, such as the Gulf States, are looking for new modes of overseas investment that differ from those promoted by Western states. Third, the international community needs to move past imposing a Weberian definition of the state on political communities and consider frameworks for recognition and participation by new, "hybrid" forms of local governance. Fourth, established institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund failed to predict the Great Recession and are likely to fail in foreseeing the next crisis. This is symptomatic of an institutional inability to identify and promote views outside the current consensus assessment. Finally, the potential for and implications of the replacement of fiat currencies with crypto-currencies remain poorly understood. Dr. Middlebrook concluded his remarks by stressing the importance of garnering high-level political traction for the institutional reforms and policy innovations to be advanced by the Commission on Global Security, Justice, and Governance.
Each break-out session was moderated by two staff members from the convening organizations and SPARK, an international development organization focused on entrepreneurship and employment, which also co-organized The Hague Conference on Business and Human Security. Each session was also assigned a staff note-taker. The moderators were instructed to ask attendees to volunteer as rapporteurs, who would then report conclusions back to the plenary. Some groups structured their discussions using the prepared questions, while others diverged from the questions.
Participants began by endorsing several comments made by Dr. Middlebrook in the introductory discussion, emphasizing that there are many emergent trends that the Commission is not looking at and which have a clear impact on the international security environment. Multiple participants reiterated Dr. Middlebrook's point about hybrid, less-than-sovereign states and the need to find a way to bring them into the international community. The failure of existing governance structures to manage new conflicts and the breakdown of the non-intervention and use-of-force norms all pose pressing questions of legitimacy and effectiveness. One participant noted that their private organization is stepping in for traditional intergovernmental actors in Syria to provide humanitarian food aid. Another participant noted the lack of a "common language" on the relationship between business and the state and challenged the Commission to take on the problem of "state capture" in states such as Russia, where the government and the private sector are completely intermingled. In connection with the need for the project to focus on the most pressing issues, another participant argued for more representative membership of the Commission.
In contributing direct support to security-building in fragile environments, the United Nations and other organizations are handicapped by finite resources and conflicting priorities. Furthermore, reliance on direct support can stunt the growth of indigenous capacities. How have these limitations affected businesses in fragile and conflict-affected environments? How can the private sector pick up the slack and contribute to security-building? Is there a role for the private sector in providing basic services that neither states nor intergovernmental organizations can fill?
Participants were initially challenged by the generic use of the term "private sector," voicing confusion about its real meaning. They expressed a preference to better define the different types of actors involved in (or associated with) the private sector (e.g., SMEs, multinationals, etc.) in order to better address the questions under consideration. Participants also noted a wide divide between cases where the private sector acts as a surrogate for an incapacitated government on a non-core, charity basis and cases where firms partake in a government-led development agenda as a core part of their business. Examples of corporate social responsibility projects by Shell and Heineken were mentioned.
Initially, participants questioned the premise that the private sector has a role to play in providing basic services that states are supposed to provide, especially in the area of security-building. There was a general consensus that while some services can only be delivered by the state, the private sector can have a constructive role if brought into the planning phase by the government at an early stage. At the same time, participants recognized the potential for conflicts of interest and a lack of public accountability when firms control essential services. One participant explained his experience in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where his firm had successfully delivered a service that the state was unable to provide but argued this was a rare exception.
Is there a role for the private sector in the prevention and resolution of violent conflict that is overlooked by the international community? Should international organizations be leveraging support from businesses better in the management of transitions?
Participants noted examples in Nigeria, Northern Ireland, and South Africa where the private sector had a role in peacebuilding following a period of conflict. However, the group also mentioned limitations, including where economic development can have counterintuitive effects in generating violence due to a growing competition and a clash of cultures.
A key problem identified by the group was "poorly conceived training," where ex-combatants or other types of under-skilled job-seekers are provided with new skills that do not advance their employment prospects. To avoid this problem, participants emphasized the importance of bringing the private sector into these peacebuilding initiatives as early as possible to identify actual needed skills for the marketplace. One participant also discussed ways in which the private sector had contributed to the prevention and resolution of violent conflict, pointing to various examples that were successful in the past.
In this break-out group's discussion, which departed from the questions and instead drew on the various experiences of the participants, participants emphasized the different capacities, priorities, and interests of local SMEs and multinational businesses in fragile states, while also stressing that corporate social responsibility is "not core business." Local businesses have a strong interest in peacebuilding because peace is a prerequisite for the sustainability of their ventures (except illicit business, whose interests are the reverse as they tend to benefit from the cover of conflict and instability). Local businesses are often more adaptable than foreign firms because of their knowledge of the local context and ability to operate informally. Since licit (legitimate) local businesses cannot readily escape if peacebuilding efforts collapse, their interest in sustaining development efforts can run deeper than the interests of multinational groups. Often, they require only minimal assistance following a conflict to help them become viable business prospects again. One participant noted that this is particularly true in agriculture, where small sums of technical and financial assistance can go a long way if delivered between planting and harvesting periods, when no income is flowing to firms and families. That is, farming requires long periods of stability to realize profit; other sectors can work on a shorter time-scale, and even operate despite instability (e.g., artisanal mining). Smaller firms can more readily develop a business case for early post-conflict Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) than larger firms, whose plans must conform to wider corporate strategy.
Participants noted that some large firms like to set up export-processing terminals in conflict-affected places "because there are no rules", and since their governments do not invest in the interior, the general state of infrastructure is of little importance. Multinationals can, however, also be peacebuilders to the extent that they need good infrastructure and a stable and enforceable investment environment. Some multinationals are particularly adept at operating in conflict environments; one example is Ericsson, which brought mobile phone service to refugee camps. Others maintain valuable country-specific institutional knowledge accumulated through pre-crisis business operations, and some of that knowledge might prove useful in post-crisis peacebuilding. Shell, for example, was engaged in Syria before the civil war and could provide important assistance when the conflict subsides. Participants also noted that multinationals can be pressured to integrate global norms into their business operations by shareholders, which was the case with Statoil's operations in Nigeria. The company subsequently turned to the international non-governmental organization (NGO) Amnesty International to provide human rights training for its staff. Some extractive industry players may be more transient, however, and less likely to take local considerations seriously, and industrial investors may collaborate with authorities in large development projects that displace local populations.
Participants noted that outside assumptions about conflict-affected areas often focus too much on risks and not enough on opportunities. For example, in connection with the latter, diaspora communities can play a role in linking outside investors with local knowledge by leveraging their connections. Participants also pointed out that the norm-propagating community needs to be aware of the potential for compliance issues to block investment where a business case would otherwise be sound. NGOs can have a role in helping multinationals manage their responsibilities. A good example is where one outside actor created a directory of local capacity in conflict-affected zones, including Haiti, Afghanistan, Liberia, and East Timor, to enable international businesses to better identify and engage local partners.
Data-driven management paradigms have emerged in parallel with data-driven public-policy making. "Data", whether in the expansion of traditional quantitative analyses to new fields or the rise of "big data", is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for understanding complex issues, including global governance problems. In demanding more information from businesses and society at large, have these approaches helped or hurt your business?
A participant noted that data collected by the government and released publicly can be very helpful for business planning. Examples include data related to crop yield and weather. However, this data can often be unreliable or subject to temporal restrictions, which limits its usefulness. The limited availability of technology in many parts of the world also impacts data-gathering, with farmers and other rural groups unable to report in an accurate and timely fashion. A participant engaged in business in Rwanda pointed out that public institutions may have data that is useful for local farmers, but that knowledge is often restricted to ivory tower research settings. Better methods for gathering and sharing data are, therefore, needed urgently.
Participants also noted that data that is relevant to governments may be irrelevant to businesses. If governments want businesses to operate as data collectors on behalf of the state, appropriate incentives must be created. Businesses are willing to share data with other businesses and governments if doing so does not disrupt business operations, create employee unrest, or compromise competitive advantage. These limitations must be borne in mind when devising data gathering/sharing strategies involving the private sector.
Concerns about data privacy also affect the private sector. One participant noted that in Russia and Ukraine, businesses are very careful about what they communicate via email because that medium is subject to surveillance and potential competitive exploitation. Government or non-State actors can use this data in a manner that compromises business interests and the personal security of clients. A group member noted that in Afghanistan, the security of data gathered by banks has been compromised by groups attempting to learn about individuals' ability to pay ransoms if kidnapped.
Businesses that provide services on the internet have come under increasing pressure from two fronts: governments concerned about security issues (terrorism, crime), and rights advocates concerned about fundamental freedoms. Is this pressure harming the growth of the private sector online, and at what point do the costs of compliance become prohibitively expensive? Are we near that point?
A participant noted that the costs of complying with state laws and standards for data gathering, storage and use are very high and create barriers to entry and growth for start-ups and SMEs. These costs could be alleviated for SMEs if compliance software is provided as a public good by governments or developed as open-source applications.
Adapting to diverse technology ecosystems in underdeveloped markets has been a hallmark of innovation and growth in the developing world. For instance, growth in mobile payments technology has had positive effects on associated businesses. Have there been cases where your firm adapted to local technology peculiarities?
In response to a moderator question about the role of public-private partnerships in extending internet access to underserved populations, participants noted that businesses often try to avoid partnerships with governments. When public-private partnerships are necessary and helpful, it is important that a clear division of responsibilities is established and upheld. Clarity about business models and how the private sector fits into government development goals is much more important than subsidies. The participants agreed that subsidies can obscure how benefits accrue and to whom. The best thing the government can do is establish a clear regulatory framework and allow the private sector to conduct its operations.
The moderators introduced a proposal for establishing a global patent-licensing facility for climate change mitigation and adaptation technology. Intellectual property rights are a key field of competition among firms, with a "gold rush" towards the development and patenting of new technologies. The problem is that developing countries are not core markets for firms, and there exists no incentive for the development of solutions tailored to their climate-related needs or the sharing of established technologies. Participants assessed the challenges presented by such a proposal, such as the reluctance of companies to license their proprietary assets on a concessionary basis and the potential for creating a disincentive for climate research and development. They also pointed out that companies are very sensitive to creating new legal liabilities that are outside their control. The group noted that a UN mechanism has already been set up and agreed that it would be best not to create parallel structures where unnecessary.
A separate idea considered by the group was the opening-up of patent databases and open-source development of new technologies. One participant noted that Tesla Motors had recently made its entire patent portfolio accessible to the public. Another possibility is engaging developing states as testing grounds for technologies that are still under development.
Participants also discussed the disproportionate effects of climate change on developing states and how these are creating security concerns. One participant mentioned the close link between climate change and migration, and how the latter can lead to social conflict and labor exploitation.
Participants emphasized that businesses and governments have distinct responsibilities and motivations, and that successful coordination between the two depends on a shared understanding of their core competencies and limitations. Nonprofit and intergovernmental actors can benefit from the private sector, but they should also think about how they can facilitate the growth of businesses in conflict-affected environments as a central pillar of peacebuilding.
While attendees were supportive of the goals of the UN Global Compact and similar normative frameworks, in many discussions, participants pointed out that compliance costs can create a trade-off between commercial viability and strict compliance. While the profit-motive can create positive externalities for human security, it cannot function when the business case is untenable.
Another recurring point was the importance of distinguishing between the capabilities and responsibilities of small-and-medium-sized enterprises from those of multinational companies. Across break-out groups, participants highlighted the difficulty of applying the discussion prompts to one type of actor or the other.
The consultation was a valuable exercise in that it brought to light concerns with themes and issues raised by the project from diverse international actors that would otherwise have been under-appreciated. The Commission will continue to benefit from similar dialogues that draw on the unique viewpoints of important sectors, regions, and stakeholders.

Canada sides with US in backing removal of elected Peruvian president
by Yves Engler December 21, 2022 December 21, 2022
Canada's legacy of imperialist interventions into Latin American countries continues with the recent coup against Peru's democratically elected president.

The Trudeau government is helping Washington consolidate a coup that has sparked a furious popular backlash in Peru. Ottawa is defending an unelected regime that has suspended civil liberties and imposed a curfew while deploying troops to the streets. Security forces have killed 24 (mostly Indigenous) protesters over the past week.
On Saturday foreign minister Mélanie Joly tweeted, "Spoke with Peru's Foreign Minister, Ana Cecilia Gervasi, to reiterate our support for the transitional government of President Boluarte."
Three days earlier Canada's ambassador to Peru Louis Marcotte met Gervasi. Marcotte tweeted a photo with the message "Today with Minister Gervasi, reiterated support for the transition government of President [Dina] Boluarte to create consensus leading to transparent and fair elections that will bring social peace. Condemned violence and affirmed the right to peaceful assembly."
A Bloomberg article headlined "Peru Political Crisis Threatens to Widen Latin America Rifts" reported that "Canada's Louis Marcotte said his nation would work with Boluarte 'to strengthen democracy and social peace in full respect for human rights and the rule of law,' Gervasi said."
Gervasi also released a statement to the media, reported CBC, about meeting Marcotte, which "reiterated Peru's gratitude for the commitment of his country to work with President Dina Boluarte."
In "Canada takes sides as hemisphere splits over who rules Peru" the CBC's Evan Dyer reports that the US, Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Chile, Uruguay and Costa Rica have expressed support for Boluarte while Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Antigua, Barbuda, Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela and Colombia have all expressed some form of opposition to Pedro Castillo's ouster.
Canada immediately backed Castillo's December 7 removal at a special meeting of the Organization of American States. As I detailed in "Ottawa backs removal of elected Peruvian president despite protests", subsequent Canadian statements have increased support for Castillo's ouster. By visiting the foreign minister Marcotte has made Canada's position clear and echoed US actions. On Friday US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called Boluarte and US Ambassador Lisa Kenna met with her on Tuesday. On Friday Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador criticized Kenna for meeting Boluarte.
In "Peru coup: CIA agent turned US ambassador met with defense minister day before president overthrown" Ben Norton details Washington's hand in Castillo's demise. A great deal remains unknown about the machinations behind Castillo's removal but it's clear this is at least the third time Trudeau's Liberals have supported the ouster of a social democratic leader in the region.
As I detail in House of Mirrors: Justin Trudeau's Foreign Policy, they passively supported the 2016 "soft coup" impeachment of Brazilian Workers' Party president Dilma Rousseff, which Lula da Silva's recent election victory partly reverses. In November 2019 Chrystia Freeland actively supported the economic elites, Christian extremists and security forces who overthrew Evo Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president. In a decisive rebuke of Ottawa's support for the coup, a year later Morales' former finance minister Luis Acre won the presidency, and the MAS party took a large majority in the Congress.
For over four years the Trudeau government has engaged in a brazen effort to overthrow Venezuela's government. But their bid to make marginal right-wing opposition politician Juan Guaidó president has failed.
Large numbers of Peruvians have taken to the streets calling for Castillo's release from prison and for new elections to be held. Many have also rallied in favor of dissolving an extremely unpopular congress and organizing a constituent assembly to rewrite a constitution adopted after Alberto Fujimori's "self-coup". On Friday two ministers in Boluarte's government resigned to protest the repression while the prime minister was replaced.
Hopefully the protesters succeed in spurring changes to redress the country's extreme inequities and deliver another blow to the Trudeau Liberal's bid to subvert social democratic governments in the region.
Take one minute to stand in solidarity with Peruvian demonstrators by emailing Canada's foreign minister and opposition critics to say, "No Canadian backing for an unelected regime that is killing protesters".

Q: Moving multiple security certificates from server to server I have moved a site from an ISP to a private server and need to move my SSL certs over.
However, the ISP gave me 4 certs for the site in question, so I am unsure of the match of three of the four files, as well as confused about why I have four:
AAACertificateServices.crt
[THE DOMAIN I AM MOVING]_com.crt
SectigoRSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt
USERTrustRSAAAACA.crt

Spending time to research the procedure of installing the certs for a site up and running on Ubuntu 20.04 with Apache2, all the online docs I found will have me edit the virtual host block of the Apache2 site conf file thusly:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.x.x:443>
    DocumentRoot /var/www/[THE DOMAIN I AM MOVING]
    ServerName [THE DOMAIN I AM MOVING]
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCertificateFile /path/to/[THE DOMAIN I AM MOVING]_com.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/privatekey.key
        SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/intermediate.crt
</VirtualHost>

There is one obvious .crt file that matches here, but I am not sure of the placement of two others, and entirely unsure why I received 4 files instead of 3.
So, I have a couple of questions:

*

*Why the forth file?

*Which two of the remaining three are the privatekey and intermediate files?

*Is there a standard way to identify the purpose of each file?

A: I have tried a number of combinations, but cannot get these files to work. The ISP that originated the certs is no help, as they have WHM and cPanels that make this an easier task, but my server does not have either so I am stuck with manual entries.
I have successfully installed a Comodo cert for one of two sites I have on my private server, so I am OK for now using that one, but it remains a mystery and a problem: not being able to EASILY transfer certs from a shared server to a private server.
I will continue the effort and post any positive results.
So, the "answer" here is: This operation is difficult and there is no easy solution I have found, to date.
