Seeking a rebalancing of supply chains to achieve better sustainability, as well as optimising trade agreements, will feature more prominently in the future. I’ve included an informative article on EU’s trade agreements. The future looks promising and other trade deals and activity can be modelled on this outstanding example. The latest FTA is a modern trade masterpiece and has been referred to as the Brussels gold standard - it endorses and embeds sustainability in the international trade framework with strong and enforceable commitments to protect the environment. The EU Parliament, today, also approved the EU-NZ free trade agreement (FTA). The EU is the world’s second largest exporter and also the second largest importer - China and the US are the other leading trading parties (refer below article). The main purpose of this post is to highlight the significance of trade agreements, which can generate economic growth and influence environmentally sound behaviour. This landmark reform will point the way and impact supply chains in the foreseeable future. There was a significant wave of environmental reform debated and, in virtually all cases (but one concerning pesticides), approved by the EU Parliament. More detail will come from PwC on the UN tax developments as well as VAT and ViDA. The votes by the EU Parliament - on VAT in the digital age (at least a one year deferral) and a widening of the VAT distance selling rules - were approved by big majorities. And … we also saw an historic vote by the UN paving the way for an international UN Tax Convention. Today has been a big day in the EU Parliament.

![]() For example, World of Warcraft NPC Field Marshall Afrasiabi was named after former Blizzard employee Alex Afrasiabi who is named numerous times in the harassment lawsuit and has been accused of physically harassing female Blizzard employees as well as organizing the Cosby Suite. It should also be noted that the World of Warcraft team recently confirmed that they have decided to alter and remove some of that game’s content that references former members of the Blizzard team who are associated with the lawsuit investigation. While Blizzard did not offer an official explanation for McCree’s departure at that time, the timing of the decision made it pretty clear that the public reveal of the Cosby Suite information and McCree’s departure were almost certainly related. Jesse McCree left Blizzard not long after the Cosby Suite report was published by Kotaku. I highly recommend reading our previous coverage of that lawsuit (as well as some of the additional investigation information we shared in those articles) for more information about this topic, but for the moment, the thing you really need to know is that Jesse McCree was recently identified as one of the people in this stunning 2013 photo that was reportedly taken inside a hotel room rented by Blizzard employees that was regularly referred to as the “Cosby Suite.” While some who claim to have knowledge of the context behind this photo have argued that the name of the suite has nothing to do with Bill Cosby’s sexual assault allegations, others have claimed that the association was very much intentional and that this room is one of the clearest and most horrifying representations yet of what the state of California has described as the company’s history of a “frat boy” culture. In fact, it seems like quite a few people either believe the name was chosen because it just sounds like a basic cowboy name or because it is perhaps a reference to some famous McCree from a Western. While Blizzard hints at the reason behind this name change in that tweet, many people are still wondering what the problem with the name McCree is in the first place. There’s a lot of reactions to this information floating around the internet at the moment, but I’d say that the most common reaction I’ve seen is confusion. Since we want to integrate this change into that story arc, we will be delaying the new arc until later this year and instead launch a new FFA map this September.” ![]() ![]() In the near term, we had planned to kick off a narrative arc in September supported with new story and game content, of which McCree was a key part. “We realize that any change to such a well-loved and central hero in the game’s fiction will take time to roll out correctly, and we’ll share updates as this work progresses. “We believe it’s necessary to change the name of the hero currently known as McCree to something that better represents what Overwatch stands for,” says the Overwatch team in a recent tweet. Blizzard surprised some Overwatch players today by announcing that they have decided to change the name of one of the game’s original playable heroes: the gunslinging cowboy known simply as McCree. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He has a passion for teaching others, and his enthusiasm comes through in his courses.
