Manhwas except the villainess is the protagonist.

Groundhog Duchess, FL: Rhyse Sinclair. Tone: psychological horror (Not your typical reincarnation story)

Rhyse has achieved everything she could've ever wanted, she found a loving family, she has supporting friends, the woman who schemed for her downfall is dead, and now she's married to her husband Cliff as the new Duchess Rudwick! Until she woke up in her bed, the dates set back to where she started, living in her abusive family home where she laments that it was just a dream.. and then her dream comes true! Finally, she's achieved the happiness her dream foretold. Right after her wedding night she wakes back up, in her childhood home with her abusive family. It keeps happening over and over, no one believes Rhyse when she tries to speak out. There's something pulling the strings, something keeping her from speaking on her accord. She begins to avoid the Rudwicks, hoping that it would end this teasing nightmare but no matter where she goes, she always ends right back into Cliff and Killians arms, back to being tormented by Edith, back to a life that will always be taken away from her right when she's at her highest and with each passing time, she starts to lose more of herself and becoming more and more spiteful and bitter. Will Rhyse finally be able to put an end to this cycle and achieve a happy ending that lasts forever with her unexpected ally?

the flowers from another world, protagonists: Robelia and Aisha Tone: Comedy (Divorcing my tyrant husband)

Aisha had it all. She was the pampered consort of the tyrannical Alexandros and on her way to becoming the next empress, a major improvement from her boring life in Korea. She never wanted to leave, that is until mysteriously all the love and attention she would bask in has disappeared.

The once quiet and obedient empress Robelia was all of a sudden Alexandros love again! One by one Aisha starts to lose everything, all her allies turned on her and none of her endeavors had a chance to succeed not to mention Robelia has been nothing but insufferable the entire time. When Aisha finally confronts Robelia on her sudden change in behavior the two argue further until Alexandros shows up. Much to Aishas dismay, he only assists Robelia but somethings odd.. Robelia doesn't seem to be enjoying ANY of the attention..? Huh, odd. Who wouldn't want to be adored by a man who would do ANYTHING for you? Well it turns out Robelia is also from the same world as Aisha and she's been acting the way she has so she can divorced and live away from the nobles. The women come to an understanding in their commin goal and as frenimies they go on misadventure after misadventure to restore Aishas plot powers so Robelia can easily get divorced and leave.

Two birds on a wire, FL: Claudine Van Brandt, tone: drama+tragedy (cry or better yet beg)

As far as Claudine could remember she was reminded that everyone has a destiny to fulfill in the aristocracy and hers was to marry and bear heirs.

the human saintess, FL: Diana tone: romance+ self growth (For my derelict favorite)

Diana is a saintess of common origins, with no one reconginizing her due to her lack of status a miracle in the form of two handsome men grant her the chance to finally use her healing powers for the good of the common folk, all seems well until one of her friends Cael reveals that he killed their enemies for her in the name of love. It seemed sensible at the time that she rejected him harshly and told him to leave. With only one man left she chooses Helios as her husband and becomes the crown princess. Now that she's a noble, Diana must learn how to act as one even if it means restricting some of her power to the poor. All Diana wants is to be accepted, to finally receive some payment after all that hardwork she'll even ignore news on Cael if she has to, he must be doing better anyway now right?. Well, not exactly. By ignoring any news about him Diana never realized that Cael had attempted suicide more than once, but what could she do? By the time she finds out she also learns that Caelus is married so it should all be fine.. until Caelus's new wife Hestia keeps harassing her for her faults, she just won't leave! But Diana can't say anything, she's the saintess! She HAS to be good.. but to who? The nobles or the commoners? Why can't it just easy for once!?

Slowly but surely, Diana will learn that even if she's a saintess, she's still a person and as a person, she makes mistakes, some big and some small. If she wants to get any better she has to make things right. Starting with the people she neglected below.

into the dark forever, FL: Marianne Edenverre, tone: self destruction.

All her childhood Marianne had been nothing but bad fortune. Her mother treated her terribly and even living as the 5th princess did little to differentiate from her previous homelife. All her new half siblings refuse to treat her as human for her status as an illegitimate child except for the 4th princess Alisa, the bright bundle of joy that made her feel welcome.However, a single person cannot make up for the mistreatment, especially if that person is the star of the family. Why can't Marianne have that? Who does Alisa even think she is!? Is she taunting her? Marianne won't stand for that disrespect, she suffered enough hasn't she? When is she gonna get her paid her dues? If God won't pay her then she'll just have to steal it herself so Marianne summons a demon to give her the help she needs. All of a sudden, everyone loves her! She's the star of the show and now Alisa is the scapegoat, finally, now the 4th princess will know what it feels like to be ostracized but when that doesn't work, Marianne decides to just arrange her death instead. There, no more Alisa, she's finally the most adored girl in Edenverre... wait, Alisa has been reincarnated into the princess of a enemy empire? Well Marianne can't let that stand idly by, she needs to get rid of Aisha de Elmire now, no matter what it may cost.

Just how toxic did her family become and will she be able to resist Leilas temptation?

The concubines woes, FL: Diane Poitier, tone: female rage+self reflection (I will abdicate my title as empress)

Diane Poitier had been a patient girl. After losing everything at a young age she had been determined to never let that happen again when she becomes the Emperors concubine. He has no wife, she's is the owner of the Ivory palace, and she resembles his deceased mother, the cards should have all fell in place, but they never do. The Emperor instead marries the crown princess Adelaide of Kotrov. Just like that Diane feels everything crashing down around her so she makes an enemy out of Adelaide, belittling her and trying to drive a wedge between the new married couple so she can return to the escapism of knowing she's the Emperors one and only.

Why is she being this way to the one woman who has shown her kindess?These are the nagging questions the keep Diane up at night.

Divorcing your husband, FL: Sumin Jeong, tone: comedy (Marry my husband)

Sumin will never admit it but she's been a snake in the grass for most of her life, she can't stand seeing her friend Jiwon happier than her so what better way to ruin her life then to sleep with her husband while Jiwon is terminally ill? Well.. Karma inevitably catches up to Sumin and she is killed by the very same man she slept with after he accidently murdered Jiwon to eliminate any witnesses. Instead of waking up in heaven or hell, Sumin is back 10 years ago! Does she even deserve this? Of course she does! How could someone so deserving like her not? It turns out though that she lost a little something along the way.. her charisma! It's been stolen the moment Jiwon died and when Minhwan killed her. Without her cutesy baby act no man will just crumble when she says "Oppa!"

Whatever, she'll play into Minhwans hand for the time being.. after all, she could use a little life insurance from him.

Golden cage, FL: Rashta Ishka, tone:tragedy+female rage (remarried empress)

The tragic tales of a girl sold into slavery and the men who take advantage of her. Most strived for beauty but Rashta hated it, her beauty was a curse and it drew in all predators who wanted to take a bite out of her. The first man who fell for her was one of her masters who currently raises their child, the second is the Emperor of the empire who loves her like a hunter loves their trophies they caught and the third is the most charming yet manipulative of them all. During the duration of one year, Rashta navigates the life of a concubine and later empress. The ladies in waiting hate her for displacing their empress, the men desire her for her innocent beauty, her former master blackmails her, and her idol: the empress won't even turn an eye to her direction, her only hope is to keep going with her role of the prey Sovieshu caught. Keep acting cute, keep speaking in 3rd person, she doesn't even have to learn much etiquette if it means Sovieshu will find it charming. Slowly, she is picked apart by everyone in her life and the only people who could've helped her have been pushed away. There's no saving Rashta, she's already trusted too many of the wrong people and made too many mistakes but maybe when her children grow up and learn their mothers story they'll be the voice to put an end to slavery and grant the next generation the future she always wanted.

Aim for the throne, FL: Isabella de Mare, tone: suspenseful drama (Sister I am the queen in this life)

Isabella may be her families favorite but that alone isn't enough. She knows her worth as a woman only means so much and as much as she loved her mother, she refused to end up like her as a de-facto wife of a mere cardinal. No, if she only mattered for her beauty than Isabella was going to use it to it's fullest: she wants to become queen of San Carlo, but when her half sister Ariande comes to live with the family, the new competitor meant buisness and had already earned their fathers favor much to Isabellas annoyance. What was supposed to be a subtle warning is quickly figured out and it turns out Ariande isn't as dumb as Isabella thought. Throughout the years that follow, both sisters clash and plot to rise up the ranks. Isabella becomes a renowned beauty engaged to prince Alfonso and Ariande becomes reserved but most devoted to her religious studies, earning her privileges with the clergy. This has been Isabellas most formidable foe yet and she's willing to go to lengths of murder to secure her destiny as queen of San Carlo. Little does she know.. the golden rule cares little about beauty.

Black widow, FL: Krista, tone: thriller drama (remarried empress)

Out of all the ways it could have happened why this?, Krista was already deposed of her position of queen as expected when her husband died but with her positive reputation with the people and her brother in law remaining single, Krista was confident she'd stay as the beloved queen of the west. Oh, Heinrey brought in the former empress of the east to be his wife? Well she can't be shocked, the kingdom does need heirs after all, Heinreys starting to establish his fiancé as queen already? It's fine.. maybe he'll let her stay with them instead of sending to her to compshire to mourn for the rest of her life besides, she'll always have her loyal ladies in waiting. Wait no.. most of them are already defecting from Krista to the new queen.

Krista is losing everything and her foolish family isn't helping her case, all she has left is the peoples support for her but even that is fleeting!? What? Of course.. his majesty has stated he'd fill the mouths of those disrespectful to the new queen with rocks and sew it shut, it must've scared everyone into submission. Everything is on line now, Krista's father is continuously pushing buttons he shouldn't be pushing and when Krista's brother attempts to kill Navier, all fingers point to her as his accomplice. If Krista wants to clear her name she's gonna have to play the hard way and put on an act like she's loyal to Heinreys new wife and hope that the Heinrey doesn't execute her to protect Navier.

Inventing New Ways for Overcoming Challenges with World-Class Business Change-Makers

https://authoritypresswire.com/?p=38259&wpwautoposter=1630033317 National Aviation Day on August 19 is a day that commemorates the development of aviation and its revolutionary impact on scientific and technological progress. Within just a few generations, aviation went from just a dream to a remarkable form of transport that literally has changed the world allowing billions to travel anywhere their heart desires. After a long, harrowing journey through a global pandemic, Mark Stephen Pooler, CEO and Founder of TMSP Agency, Premium Media and PR Agency, recognized that this National Day of Recognition, which celebrates incredible discovery, would be the perfect time to discuss Inventing New Ways for Overcoming Challenges. Being able to tackle challenges when they arise and developing new ways to move past them, such as what humankind currently faces, is a way to make progress and move forward despite current complications. Mark has a gift for inspiring others to tap into their most hidden talents and he has compiled an extraordinary list of World Class Business Change-Makers who share their stories of overcoming challenges through innovation.  Brian Sebastian, a high-profile celebrity interviewer, was at one time homeless and had to seek out incredibly creative ways to pursue and showcase sponsors over the traditional methods. His expert tip is to pay attention to trends and keep a close eye on climate change and be ready to pivot and adapt quickly to stay ahead of the competition, remain relevant, and stand out in the crowd. By doing this, Brian was able to show others what they said couldn’t be done. Talia Adika, Global Health Insurance and Employer Health Advocate, is a loyal supporter of those who need healthcare guidance. Talia stays in tune with the latest news and technology which has helped her overcome challenges and meet demands throughout the global pandemic. She shares that turning a failure into a success, finding comfort in being a problem solver, and thinking creatively show others one’s true sense of professionalism and expertise within their space. Dawn Holly Johnson, Creator of Wildly Successful Enterprises Program advises others to design an organization with a structure of delivering on its value proposition. According to Dawn, structure determines activity, so the organization should be designed to where everyone is held accountable and on a parallel path to deliver that value as well as continuous improvement. Claudine Matthews, The Leadership Empowerment Expander, helps women locate their inner leader. Her tips for overcoming challenges by inventing new ways are to 1) Strengthen one’s mindset. 2) Think carefully about words that are chosen and spoken. It is just as easy to speak about what one would like to happen rather than what is currently happening. 3) Be aware of actions and choose ones that deliver the desired outcome. Know and believe there is always a choice! Guinness Book of World Records setter for being the faster reader at over 80 pages per minute, Howard Stephen Berg, was told in college he was not smart enough to complete a 4-year psychology program in a single year, simultaneously with a biology program while working 18 hours a week. By studying the human brain and teaching himself HOW to learn, Howard accomplished this feat and today coaches others on harnessing the power of the brain and the mind. Lidia Kuleshnyk is a Chronic Health Specialist and Health and Energy Coach who helps overwhelmed individuals reclaim health and refine strengths. Lidia’s tips are to avoid limiting oneself to the conventional approaches and open up to entirely new modalities. She also recommends taking heed of intuition and spiritual guidance as well as releasing any fears of how the business will survive. By letting go of the doubt, it opens up the mind to the power of possibility!  Alan Wade, Co-Founder, and Coach at The Magic Within Coaching and Consulting Co., has decades of experience working in the addiction and mental health field. To help clients, Alan sought out new ways of healing and learned the power of neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, and MER®, Mental Emotional Release. These techniques free people from negative emotions attached to traumatic events within the first session. His advice…keep learning and never give up! Davina Schonle, Founder of S2C (Selling into Corporates) and Co-Founder of UK-based B2B Chicks, left her corporate job and quickly recognized that individuals could benefit from her knowledge of corporate sales. What she had not prepared for was to be a known personal brand and during this pivot realized her discomfort with being on camera and visible on social media. To overcome this fear, Davina threw herself in the deep end and learned to be a public speaker to enable herself to show up online as the confident woman she’d always been in the boardroom.   International best-selling author, pastor, mentor, and coach Lisa M. Roseman endured a heartbreaking loss after taking time away from her career to care for her dying mother. As Lisa shares in her book, The Highest of Care: A Journey Through Cancer, it is important to lean into self-care, embrace whatever support system is available, rely on others, and activate faith in God to navigate through life’s twists and turns.  As we move through the year step by step we are moving towards a more positive future. I hope you have found value and power in these stories of overcoming challenges and inventing new ways to support yourself while journeying towards better times. Please share, like and comment in the comments section below and share how you have overcome challenges and invented new ways in business. And tag a friend who you feel needs to see this inspiring message.  As the Wright brothers have shown, anything is possible and because of their vision of flight, the world will forever be connected in a magical way. Keep shining bright and moving forward in positivity for the good of all. ### ABOUT THE GLOBAL PROFILE BUILDER Mark Stephen Pooler is the Founder, Editor in Chief, Media & News Publisher of MSP News Global.

[reseau-actu]

Des visiteurs par milliers, un budget de 20 millions d'euros et des têtes d'affiche internationales... Officiellement, « les 500 ans du Havre » furent, en 2017, la vitrine éclatante du succès d’Édouard Philippe comme maire de sa ville. Mais, en coulisse, c’est une tout autre réalité qu’a découverte Mediapart en enquêtant sur les événements culturels organisés en Normandie par l’actuel Premier ministre, et dont il s’est servi comme tremplin politique. Marché public dévoyé, prestataires non payés, liens d’affaires avec Jacques Attali privilégiés : la mairie du Havre a beau répondre que « l'organisation a été menée strictement dans le cadre des règles de passation des marchés publics », l’examen précis des pièces du dossier fait apparaître des éléments pour le moins suspects.

Dans sa ville, l’ambition d’Édouard Philippe a en effet laissé des traces douloureuses. Selon nos informations, plusieurs prestataires du Havre n’ont toujours pas été rémunérés pour leur participation aux « 500 ans », à l’été 2017. Cette ardoise dépasse le million d'euros et donne des sueurs froides au successeur du Premier ministre à la tête de la mairie, Luc Lemonnier.

Un trou d'un million dans une opération financée par le public : la situation n'est pas banale. Mais le groupement d'intérêt public bâti pour l'occasion n'a pas respecté les garde-fous qu'il avait lui-même imposés pour éviter ce genre d'accident.

Pour mettre sur pied la manifestation, le GIP « Le Havre 2017 », financé par l’argent public, a été créé en avril 2014. Il était présidé par Édouard Philippe en personne jusqu’à sa nomination à Matignon, en mai 2017. Doté d’un budget de 20 millions d’euros (ce qui en fait une des plus grandes manifestations culturelles des dernières années), le GIP a fait le choix d’externaliser la quasi-totalité de sa production, en sélectionnant un prestataire chargé d'organiser l'événement. 

Le 20 février 2015, l'entreprise d'ingénierie culturelle Artevia est sélectionnée au terme d'un appel d'offres de plusieurs mois. C'est elle, dès lors, qui contrôle toute la chaîne de production de l’événement, qui gère la programmation, le calendrier et touche une grosse enveloppe du GIP — 15,8 millions d’euros — avant de réorienter l’argent vers les différents prestataires. Du moins en théorie.

Car la société connaît depuis de graves difficultés financières : elle est en redressement judiciaire depuis janvier 2018 et dans l’incapacité de payer les entreprises. La faute à une activité chaotique — l’exposition Osiris qu’elle a organisée à l’Institut du monde arabe à Paris a été impactée par les attentats — mais aussi un carnet de commandes vide depuis plusieurs mois.

Les difficultés ne sont cependant pas soudaines : « La situation de trésorerie de l’entreprise est tendue à la fin de l’exercice 2011 », prévenaient dès 2012 les commissaires aux comptes d’Artevia. Début 2016, ceux-ci émettent une nouvelle alerte : la trésorerie reste « tendue ». Rebelote un an plus tard : « Il existe des incertitudes multiples sur [la continuité d’exploitation de l'entreprise] », « la société n’a plus de projet de développement à l’issue de l’opération “Un été au Havre” qui se terminera à la fin de l’année 2017 ».

Aujourd'hui, Artevia traîne plus de 5 millions d’euros de dettes, et se trouve dans l'incapacité de payer les prestations fournies pour les 500 ans. La PME subit la pression de plusieurs créanciers qui réclament leur argent. La situation est pour l'instant insoluble : le GIP n'a certes pas fini de verser l'intégralité des quelque 15 millions d'euros à Artevia. Mais si elle le faisait, l'argent atterrirait dans la poche d'autres créanciers, plus anciens, et ne réglerait en rien la situation des prestataires havrais.

Sollicitée par Mediapart, la mairie du Havre déclare être à la recherche d'une autre solution de paiement pour régler au plus vite les prestataires : « Le GIP se mobilise en transparence avec ces entreprises pour faire de leur paiement sa priorité. »

Mais elle occulte le fait que ce problème n’aurait jamais dû survenir. En effet, pour s’assurer de la solvabilité de l'entreprise sur laquelle reposaient intégralement la réussite de l’événement et le paiement des prestataires, le GIP Le Havre 2017 avait opportunément introduit une clause dans l’appel d’offres débouchant sur le choix de son « producteur délégué ». Toute entreprise souhaitant postuler au marché devait déclarer un chiffre d'affaires de 5 millions d’euros par an, en moyenne, sur les trois derniers exercices précédant l'appel d'offres.

« Le seuil des 5 M€ de chiffre d’affaires sur les trois années précédentes a été demandé pour éviter de voir concourir des entreprises qui n’auraient pas la capacité de gérer un événement de cette envergure », confirme d'ailleurs la mairie du Havre. Sauf que, curieusement, ce plancher n’était pas respecté par Artevia, dont le chiffre d'affaires était largement inférieur à 5 millions d'euros de moyenne. Or personne ne s'est visiblement soucié du fait que cette entreprise n'avait pas les réserves suffisantes pour porter l'opération.

Sollicité par Mediapart, Alain Thuleau, le DG et actionnaire majoritaire de l'entreprise, a d'abord contesté cet état de fait : « Nous étions au-dessus des 5 millions d'euros avec le marché des Berges sur Seine à Paris ». Relancé par écrit, il a changé de version : « Dans le cadre de l’appel d’offres pour le Havre 2017 il convient de prendre en compte le chiffre d'affaires de l’ensemble du groupement qui a répondu à cet appel d’offres. »

Dans son offre, Artevia s'est en effet associée à plusieurs sociétés, dont la plateforme KisskissBankBank (pour la partie levée de fonds) ou Claudine Colin Communication (médias&com). Pour que son attribution de marché ne soit pas considérée comme viciée, la mairie du Havre fait elle aussi comme si la clause des 5 millions de chiffre d'affaires concernait l'ensemble de ces entreprises : « Le groupement présenté par Artevia a fourni cette garantie [des 5 millions d'euros – ndlr]. L’appréciation des capacités d’un groupement d’opérateurs économiques étant globale, il n’était pas nécessaire qu’Artevia dépasse ce seuil seule, mais simplement que son groupement y était tenu, ce qui était le cas pour les trois années antérieures. »

Un argument qui risque de bien faire rire (jaune) les malheureux prestataires havrais, qui sont pour certains en grande difficulté de trésorerie : aujourd'hui, ils ne peuvent pas se retourner vers les autres membres du groupement (comme KissKissBankBank) pour réclamer leur dû. Il était prévu que seule Artevia assume les risques de l'opération. Et c'était bien pour cette raison que la clause de 5 millions n'avait d'intérêt que si elle concernait cette entreprise et non pas le groupement.

L'avis de marché, daté du 20 mars 2015, que Mediapart a consulté est très clair à ce sujet : « Le marché a été attribué à la société Artevia. » Et non à un groupement.

Thomas Malgras, le directeur du GIP, n'avait d'ailleurs aucune difficulté à le reconnaître dans un entretien accordé le 10 juillet 2016 dans le cadre d'un mémoire universitaire, à une époque où les difficultés financières d'Artevia n'avaient pas encore sauté à la figure de la ville du Havre : « Le GIP avait imposé un chiffre d’affaires conséquent sur les dernières années pour montrer que l’entreprise avait l’expérience pour monter un projet de cette taille-là. »

La position du directeur artistique de l'événement en question

Le choix de confier autant de responsabilités à une seule société, sans découper le marché et répartir le risque en plusieurs lots, peut sembler surprenant. Mais cette solution originale avait été avancée par une mission de préfiguration conduite, de mars 2013 à mars 2014, par... Artevia elle-même.

« Le choix de faire une étude de préfiguration (en assistance à maîtrise d’ouvrage) avant de lancer un marché de production plus complexe visait à éviter de lancer une procédure aussi lourde avant les élections municipales. (...) L’étude avait pour but de permettre au pouvoir adjudicateur de délimiter le périmètre de son action à l’occasion des 500 ans », explique la mairie du Havre.

Lancé en novembre 2012, ce marché public de 80 000 euros a été remporté par Artevia, alors associée avec le directeur artistique Jean Blaise. Mais l'attribution de ce premier marché pose question. Sollicité par Mediapart, Jean Blaise ne se souvient même pas qu'il faisait face à un concurrent, Jean-François Chougnet. Et pour cause. Jean Blaise, qui avait rencontré un immense succès d'estime par son travail mené à Nantes, a été invité en 2011, aux Assises de la Culture du Havre. « On a eu un très bon contact avec Édouard Philippe. On a dîné ensemble. Et peu de temps après, il m'a appelé pour me proposer d'organiser les 500 ans du Havre. C'est moi qui ai demandé une mission de préfiguration pour que la ville sache où elle mettait les pieds. » Voilà qui laissait peu d'espoirs à ses concurrents. 

En 2015, Jean Blaise est directement nommé par le GIP comme  “directeur artistique” de l'événement. Ce choix était-il indépendant de la désignation d'Artevia au terme d'un appel d'offres ? « Oui, répond la mairie. L’assemblée générale du GIP de février 2015 a successivement délibéré sur la nomination de Jean Blaise comme directeur artistique, puis sur l’attribution de l’accord-cadre au groupement Artevia. Parce que cette fois, la présence de Jean Blaise sur ce projet était indifférente aux candidatures proposées. La présence de Jean Blaise était parfaitement renseignée. »

« Parfaitement » ? Vraiment ? Même Alain Thuleau, le PDG d'Artevia, a confirmé que Jean Blaise faisait partie de son équipe. Et la société finaliste qui lui faisait face, Agence publics, avait bel et bien choisi un autre directeur artistique, comme nous l'a confirmé son ancien président. Ce directeur artistique, Georges François Hirsch, ancien directeur général de l'Opéra de Paris, donne également une version qui diffère de celle du Havre et de Matignon. « Oui, on faisait face à Jean Blaise, que je connais bien, que j'apprécie, et qui a remporté le marché. »

La ville explique, documents à l'appui, que Georges-François Hirsch était proposé comme “commissaire général”, et pas comme directeur artistique. Mais elle se retrouve aujourd'hui bien seule à défendre cette interprétation.  

Mais comment Alain Thuleau s'est-il retrouvé au cœur de l’organisation des « 500 ans du Havre » ? Le directeur d’Artevia, bien que basé à Paris, connaît parfaitement la ville portuaire, et son maire devenu Premier ministre, depuis qu'il a été introduit auprès d’Édouard Philippe par Jacques Attali.

Les trois hommes ont travaillé ensemble, main dans la main, à l’occasion des « LH Forum » (Le Havre Forum), ou « Forum de l’économie positive », ce grand raout réunissant, tous les ans, au Havre, intellectuels et décideurs du monde entier autour de la figure tutélaire de Jacques Attali. Dès 2012, Édouard Philippe décide d'accueillir cette manifestation, à grand renfort de subventions.

L'idée est déjà de mieux faire connaître sa ville, son maire, et d'élargir son carnet d'adresses. « Créer un tramway ça prend dix ans. Tous les projets d’aménagement sont extrêmement longs, extrêmement lourds, extrêmement difficiles à mener tandis qu’avec l’art et la culture on peut aller très vite, montrer sa volonté », avait théorisé Jean Blaise lors des Assises de la culture organisées au Havre en 2011.

Une première convention triennale signée pour les éditions 2012 à 2014 a acté le versement, chaque année, de 350 000 euros d’argent public dans le cadre du forum (à parité entre la ville et la communauté d’agglomérations), soit près d’un quart des recettes de cet événement privé. La convention a été renouvelée en 2015 et un nouveau texte est en cours de discussion pour les éditions 2018-2020.

Afin de sécuriser et clarifier les flux financiers relatifs à l’organisation de ce forum, dixit la mairie du Havre, la manifestation est portée par une association, Positive Economy Advocacy (ex-PlaNet Finance services), une des structures de l’empire Attali dont Thuleau a été le directeur, en CDI, jusqu’à la fin 2015.

Attali et Thuleau étaient à cette époque deux partenaires indissociables. Artevia est domiciliée à la même adresse que le siège de PlaNet Finance. Et les deux hommes sont associés depuis 2010 dans la SARL « Une brève histoire de l’avenir » ayant pour objet de mettre sur pied une exposition autour du livre éponyme de Jacques Attali. Un contrat de collaboration prévoit alors qu’Artevia mobilise trois salariés (dont Alain Thuleau) et « ses réseaux et contacts auprès d’acteurs publics et privés » pour monter cet événement.

À la même période, Alain Thuleau préconise aussi la création d’une télé de l’économie positive. Son vœu sera exaucé en 2013 par le fils de Jacques Attali, Jérémie, lequel présente plusieurs casquettes professionnelles : il est à la fois capital-risqueur dans l’entreprise de son père «A&A», jardinier mais aussi producteur de films à ses heures perdues.

Le 3 mai 2013, Jérémie Attali devient le gérant d’« Eco Plus TV », une Scop dont le capital est en partie détenu par « PlaNet Finance services » et la société « Keskya », elle-même détenue par les Attali père & fils. Pendant plusieurs années, « Eco Plus TV » a ainsi vendu des vidéos sur l’économie positive aux organisateurs du forum du Havre (autour de 40 000 euros de prestations annuelles). Tout cela avec de l'argent provenant, en partie, des collectivités havraises.

L'activité d'Eco Plus est aujourd’hui en sommeil. « Le modèle économique n’était pas viable », justifie à Mediapart Jérémie Attali. Quant à l’entreprise « Keskya », elle a, elle, continué à vendre quelques prestations pour le forum, « moins chères » que les prix du marché selon M. Attali.

En 2015, la lune de miel entre Thuleau et Attali prend brutalement fin. Les comptes de « PlaNet Finance services » sont dans le rouge. « Après le troisième forum, nous avons eu des doutes sur la qualité des informations qu'on nous rapportait et nous avons fait mener des investigations approfondies, internes et externes, qui nous ont conduits à licencier Monsieur Thuleau », confirme à Mediapart Jacques Attali.

Le contentieux se poursuit devant les tribunaux. La société Artevia de Thuleau réclame devant le tribunal de grande instance de Paris, en référé, le versement de 255 921 euros pour avoir exécuté, dans le cadre d’une « convention d’assistance », « diverses prestations dans le cadre de sa mission globale pour les éditions 2014 et 2015 » du forum du Havre. La PME sera déboutée, après que « PlaNet Finance services » a expliqué devant le tribunal que la convention d’assistance au profit d’Artevia avait été signée par… Alain Thuleau lui-même, en tant que directeur de PlaNet finances.

Un document interne de PlaNet finance services, issu d’une mission d’audit externe qui a alerté en juin 2016 sur la continuité d’exploitation alors « compromise », confirme la situation alarmante de la structure en 2016 :  « Nous avons pris la mesure, dès l’automne 2015, des conséquences d’une gestion malencontreuse durant les exercices 2013 et 2014 », notent les dirigeants, pointant une « absence de contrôle des dépenses et de mise en concurrence des fournisseurs et prestataires ».

Quand Jacques Attali décide enfin de s'intéresser de plus près à ces comptes, la dette à éponger s'élève à plusieurs centaines de milliers d'euros. Ses équipes tentent alors de renégocier à la baisse certaines des factures impayées, les estimant exagérément « gonflées ». Quelques amis donnent aussi un coup de main financier.

Selon nos informations, des alertes sur la gestion de la structure sous la direction d'Alain Thuleau et la difficulté de prestataires à se faire payer sont alors remontées vers la mairie du Havre dès 2015. À l'époque, les impayés s'élevaient déjà à plusieurs centaines de milliers d'euros. Ce qui n'a pas empêché Édouard Philippe de maintenir sa confiance à Artevia. Pourquoi ? Le Premier ministre n'a pas répondu à cette question.

[paleghostinthecorner02]

Ugh YES. This book is like 80% terrifyingly realistic and complex character writing, 10% wasted potential and 10% "What the fuck is this?"

As a character Claudine is the biggest disappointment in the entire book and one of the biggest in the entire genre. She was SO CLOSE to being an excellent deconstruction of the jealous bitch character who makes life worse for the FL. She had a jaded view of love and marriage, accepting that Matthias didn't love her and she didn't love him and he'd probably have a mistress like every other nobleman in Berg. The only thing she wants is the glamorous life of weath and status being his wife affords. She can tell Matthias has a thing for Layla before even he realizes it and she accepts it since she thinks he's the kind of person who can keep the focus on his wife and treat his mistress as just a mistress. She even thinks at one time that Layla would be a good mistress since she's just a lowly peasant girl who couldn't steal her spotlight, and her ruminations on Layla's beauty are borderline Sapphic. Even after Matthias has manipulated Layla into a sexual relationship Claudine realizes that Layla isn't in it of her own voliton, but because she's trying to protect her beloved Uncle, and she supposedly feels sorry for her.

All this set up had the makings of a complex, sympathetic character who feels torn between letting the status quo she has accepted continue on for the sake of her perfect life, or taking actions to get Layla away from Matthias despite how angry he would become without his Mistress because Layla's pain is not worth it. The major actions she takes to get Layla out of the picture (telling Kyle and Bill about the affair) could easily have been played off as a desperate attempt to goad Layla into running away from her abuse out of concern for her. She could have found out about Matthias planning to have Bill and Layla moved to his mansion in Ratz and feel that the only way Layla would leave is by letting Bill know that his worst fear (Layla being exploited by rich, powerful men) had been happening right under his nose. During Matthias's mental breakdown she could come to realize that he's way more unhinged than she initially believed and decided to leave herself, giving into her love for Riette and thus fulfilling a satisfying character arc from jaded and materialistic to finding the value of love above money and status.

INSTEAD, she suddenly decides that nevermind, she doesn't want Layla around Matthias and becomes a spiteful shitbag who herself victimizes Layla because she DARED to steal her man! What? Bitch, you already know SHE DOESN'T WANT YOUR MAN. SHE WOULD GLADLY LET YOU HAVE HIM ALL TO YOURSELF. HER GOAL IN LIFE EVENTUALLY BECOMES TO MAKE MATTHIAS NO LONGER WANT HER AND GET ON WITH HER LIFE. You dense motherfucker, you became the exact type of noblewomen you thought you were so much better than because your ass got chapped that a dude you don't even like was paying more attention to another woman over you. Attention that as I said, was completely unwanted and the kind you should be glad you aren't receiving. Layla literally has the same goal as you WHY ARE YOU ASSAULTING HER WHILE CRYING ABOUT HER WANTING WHAT'S YOURS WHEN YOU KNOW SHE DOESN'T WANT WHAT'S YOURS?

Her motivation after that becomes to hurt both Layla and Matthias by telling Layla Matthias helped ruin her plans to marry Kyle and Kyle and Bill about the affair (which she knows will cause them pain and thus cause Layla pain), and those actions motivating Layla to run away. And when she does (after ensuring that she emotionally crushes him YES GIRL), Claudine's attitude is "Wow, you did a great job destroying his mental state, I hope you fucking die now." And she's still such a monumental gold digger that when Matthias is so checked out of reality he's laughing at inappropriate times for no reason, has an eating disorder, drugging himself with sleeping pills to the point he sleeps in until after noon, literally wanders aimlessly around his estate and experinces missing time to the point he doesn't remember almost drowning himself in a fugue state, she STILL wants to marry him and is willing to drag his empty shell down the aisle if she has to. Claudine, Riette loves you and is only one peerage rank below Matthias, is the slight bump in status and wealth really worth marrying someone you despise? *rips hair out of scalp in frustration.*

As for Layla, she gets so much unwarrented shit from so many people. There's the Matthias Stans who actually believe he's the one in the right and Layla is an evil bitch because she hurt his poor feelings when she left (DESERVED!) There's the Kyle Stans who think Layla was a callous golddigger who never cared about him and only wanted to marry him for his money (which is why she decides... Not to marry him and then refuses the expensive things Matthias keeps buying for her???) And then there's the shallow fandom feminists who think the only acceptable FLs are the Bad bitch, girl boss, YASS QUEEN, Strong Female Character™ that crushes everyone who dares cross her and has no meaningful flaws or weaknesses and a woman who has years of unaddressed trauma making bad yet understandable choices due to said trauma and the ensuing mental disorders resulting from it are weak, snivelling morons who should be demonized for their failings.

The tragedy of Layla is that she went through being orphaned, abused, bullied and abandoned by almost everyone in her entire family before she was 12, and it took her literally going to another country by herself to her last hope to finally get with someone willing to take care of her. Even then (and I don't think this is ever addressed by the fandom because of how well loved Bill Remmer is) she's with someone who's constantly talking about how it isn't feasible to keep her permanently and trying to decide when to take her to the orphanage. Yeah, he never does, but imagine being a child constantly abandoned by family living with the constant fear that your one last hope for real family might one day abandon you too. I think if it weren't for the other servants who all banded together to help raise Layla and Bill's societal knowledge of what tends to happen to beautiful women in poverty, he would have done so. She then has to experience what the aristocracy is actually like when Claudine dehumanizes her and Matthias starts bullying her (because God forbid that this prepubescent peasant girl who has no reason to like you avoids being around your college age ass YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING WEIRDO.) Despite all this she still manages to excel in school and have a fairly well adjusted life with her Uncle and best friend, and her goals are just to be a school teacher and continue living a fulfilled life around people she loves. Then Matthias drags her out of her sunny summer world into an abusive hell because something in his brain chemistry finally decided it would let him be aroused by this one person, and the dam that held in a lifetime of emotional suppression and borderline sociopathy decided to burst and bathe Layla and Layla alone in it's toxic, sludgy water. This poor girl had her life ruined by a rich, entitled monster just because his damaged brain said "HER," and it ends up causing her to become so emotionally destroyed her brain decides to protect itself by making her think being with him is her best option.

And after she makes this decision, the book destroys it's biggest bit of potential: It decides that instead of acknowledging that this is a tragic yet realistic outcome that could be expected for a peasant girl who becomes the sole obsession of one of the most powerful men in the country, it'a treated like it's a good thing for her. And it justifies this conclusion by having this actually deranged, abusive shit puddle pull one of the most jarring Heel-Face Turns thay has ever been written in fiction. Suddenly, Matthias is this great guy who should be praised for protecting Layla during a bombing raid, smuggling her back to Berg and setting her and their future child up for life in case he's KiA. And then we're supposed to be sad when he's supposedly KiA (YES!) and we're supposed to be happy when he finally finds her after the war (NO!) And then it's off to the epilogues and side stories where Layla gets married to this thing that we're supposed to think is Matthias, but is so unlike the guy we've spent over 140 chapters reading about that thinking something bizarre like him getting the toxicity blown out of him in the bombing that almost killed him or some benevolent ghost took over his corpse and kept his knowledge and feelings for Layla but not his Matthiassholery is more believable than "He decided to change, and so he did." I dunno, his brain doesn't function properly so maybe it actually was that easy for him? Who the hell knows. I don't, and I don't even think Solche does.

My feelings on cry or better yet beg and the utter wasted potential for a psychological tragedy of the imbalance of relationships between noblemen and their mistresses

First off, if I was told I could only kill off one male lead, it'd be him

Lot of people rn especially on tik-tok probably would flame me for this with the "at least he loves Layla! He's so protective of her!"

"it's a dark romance! It won't be sunshine and rainbows you snowflake!"

"He just doesnt know how to express his emotions because he's so sheltered!"

No, just no, I don't care how "hot" he is, I don't care if he's your protective little bad boy. I don't care about his supposed character development, That's a straight up abuser who started off killing birds knowing it would damage to Layla to straight up assaulting her. (I don't know if that will stay in the webtoon, but it was in the novel) no character development can make me like a fucking rapist

Like how in the hell is Claudine considered worse than Mathhias, sure she isn't so peachy herself but goddammit to think of the fiance who if anything would be supported had she been the main protagonist, yes she's pretty demeaning, a bit shallow, and only views Matthias as the perfect Duke, but at least she's not going around mentally torturing a boy who can't do anything against her. I haven't gotten to her ending yet but from what I hear, it isn't a good one. She such a wasted opportunity since she is such a perfect example of a woman prepped and groomed to just be a Dukes wife would come out feeling that her worth only comes her husband.

Justice for Claudine, I just know there's a fanfic out there where you get with Riette, grow as your own person, and live a pleasant life.

You wanna know what really hurts me about this manhwa though? The fact that's it's so unintentionally accurate to how horrible it truly is to be a mistress in an era where women, especially women with no royal titles or status, were often treated by rich and powerful men. They would mostly have no right to say no to a man who decides he wants her, Layla romanticizing her abuse is not just heartbreaking but also unfortunately realistic as it's a coping mechanism for those who had endured nothing but abuse their whole life so they tend to shove their feelings in a box and pretend everything is okay (obviously this isn't the same for all victims of abuse, it's one of the many coping mechanisms people could develop)

In a lot of historical manhwa, there's usually the obligatory mistress character designed to be a dumb trashy bimbo to uplift the lead. Most of the time, the mistress in question is either a daughter of minor nobility that was chosen by a Emperor, crown prince, or Duke, or the mistress lived her life as a poor farm girl and in some situations lived a life where no one cared about her and was likely abused, the latter is often rare for these mistress characters since authors of those stories only want you sympathizing with the leads but in rare cases, the mistress did have a hard life but it ends up being undermined to further damage the mistress as torture/revenge porn or in Laylas case: used as an explanation to give a disturbing reason to why she ends up falling in love with Matthias which wouldn't be wrong if the story was written in a way that was a tragic one, not a romantic one.

you would think this kind of glamorouzation of abuse would only exist in the authors mindset and the degeneracy that is a junior high girls mind, but no, the ides that Layla is somehow the one in the wrong for her own abuse and reluctance of Matthias and there is even an Instagram post claiming she has BPD for being too "difficult" they sound like those 1950s doctors that find any reason to lobotomize a patient.

Laylas character does open the truths of what it's truly like to be practically owned by a nobleman, she's not like Rashta or Aisha from divorcing my tyrant husband where she's portrayed as a silly and cute strumpet with ulterior motives, she is genuinely upset but she can't do anything about it so all she can do is convince herself that Matthias loves her so she can keep her sanity, but where it goes wrong is that instead of portraying this as an unhealthy yet sole coping mechanism for an abusive relationship, the story just chalks it down to "silly Layla! You'll see that he's just misunderstood and you really do love him deep down!" Its frankly atrocious that the one time a story has a realistic pair of the typical women in this trope, the first wife who is classy and refined and the mistress who is young and free spirited ends ultimately destroyed yet again with a case black and white writting. One woman must be good and the other woman must be bad.

Frankly these characters are well written for the most part and until I realized I supposed to see Matthias as the love interest and not Kyle, I was fine with who Matthias was since he was presented more so as a villain, the art is also one of the prettiest cottagecore artstyles I've ever seen to the point where the 3D models look really good since it blends in perfectly, it's just sad that cry or better yet beg is a sick twisted tale equivalent to the average Colleen Hoover book.

Inventing New Ways for Overcoming Challenges with World-Class Business Change-Makers

https://authoritypresswire.com/?p=38259 National Aviation Day on August 19 is a day that commemorates the development of aviation and its revolutionary impact on scientific and technological progress. Within just a few generations, aviation went from just a dream to a remarkable form of transport that literally has changed the world allowing billions to travel anywhere their heart desires. After a long, harrowing journey through a global pandemic, Mark Stephen Pooler, CEO and Founder of TMSP Agency, Premium Media and PR Agency, recognized that this National Day of Recognition, which celebrates incredible discovery, would be the perfect time to discuss Inventing New Ways for Overcoming Challenges. Being able to tackle challenges when they arise and developing new ways to move past them, such as what humankind currently faces, is a way to make progress and move forward despite current complications. Mark has a gift for inspiring others to tap into their most hidden talents and he has compiled an extraordinary list of World Class Business Change-Makers who share their stories of overcoming challenges through innovation.  Brian Sebastian, a high-profile celebrity interviewer, was at one time homeless and had to seek out incredibly creative ways to pursue and showcase sponsors over the traditional methods. His expert tip is to pay attention to trends and keep a close eye on climate change and be ready to pivot and adapt quickly to stay ahead of the competition, remain relevant, and stand out in the crowd. By doing this, Brian was able to show others what they said couldn’t be done. Talia Adika, Global Health Insurance and Employer Health Advocate, is a loyal supporter of those who need healthcare guidance. Talia stays in tune with the latest news and technology which has helped her overcome challenges and meet demands throughout the global pandemic. She shares that turning a failure into a success, finding comfort in being a problem solver, and thinking creatively show others one’s true sense of professionalism and expertise within their space. Dawn Holly Johnson, Creator of Wildly Successful Enterprises Program advises others to design an organization with a structure of delivering on its value proposition. According to Dawn, structure determines activity, so the organization should be designed to where everyone is held accountable and on a parallel path to deliver that value as well as continuous improvement. Claudine Matthews, The Leadership Empowerment Expander, helps women locate their inner leader. Her tips for overcoming challenges by inventing new ways are to 1) Strengthen one’s mindset. 2) Think carefully about words that are chosen and spoken. It is just as easy to speak about what one would like to happen rather than what is currently happening. 3) Be aware of actions and choose ones that deliver the desired outcome. Know and believe there is always a choice! Guinness Book of World Records setter for being the faster reader at over 80 pages per minute, Howard Stephen Berg, was told in college he was not smart enough to complete a 4-year psychology program in a single year, simultaneously with a biology program while working 18 hours a week. By studying the human brain and teaching himself HOW to learn, Howard accomplished this feat and today coaches others on harnessing the power of the brain and the mind. Lidia Kuleshnyk is a Chronic Health Specialist and Health and Energy Coach who helps overwhelmed individuals reclaim health and refine strengths. Lidia’s tips are to avoid limiting oneself to the conventional approaches and open up to entirely new modalities. She also recommends taking heed of intuition and spiritual guidance as well as releasing any fears of how the business will survive. By letting go of the doubt, it opens up the mind to the power of possibility!  Alan Wade, Co-Founder, and Coach at The Magic Within Coaching and Consulting Co., has decades of experience working in the addiction and mental health field. To help clients, Alan sought out new ways of healing and learned the power of neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, and MER®, Mental Emotional Release. These techniques free people from negative emotions attached to traumatic events within the first session. His advice…keep learning and never give up! Davina Schonle, Founder of S2C (Selling into Corporates) and Co-Founder of UK-based B2B Chicks, left her corporate job and quickly recognized that individuals could benefit from her knowledge of corporate sales. What she had not prepared for was to be a known personal brand and during this pivot realized her discomfort with being on camera and visible on social media. To overcome this fear, Davina threw herself in the deep end and learned to be a public speaker to enable herself to show up online as the confident woman she’d always been in the boardroom.   International best-selling author, pastor, mentor, and coach Lisa M. Roseman endured a heartbreaking loss after taking time away from her career to care for her dying mother. As Lisa shares in her book, The Highest of Care: A Journey Through Cancer, it is important to lean into self-care, embrace whatever support system is available, rely on others, and activate faith in God to navigate through life’s twists and turns.  As we move through the year step by step we are moving towards a more positive future. I hope you have found value and power in these stories of overcoming challenges and inventing new ways to support yourself while journeying towards better times. Please share, like and comment in the comments section below and share how you have overcome challenges and invented new ways in business. And tag a friend who you feel needs to see this inspiring message.  As the Wright brothers have shown, anything is possible and because of their vision of flight, the world will forever be connected in a magical way. Keep shining bright and moving forward in positivity for the good of all. ### ABOUT THE GLOBAL PROFILE BUILDER Mark Stephen Pooler is the Founder, Editor in Chief, Media & News Publisher of MSP News Global.
