Dear Reader Our annual report 2017 is for all the actors who are interested in youth information and counselling on all its levels.
This report provides a good overview of ERYICA's activities in the course of last year. It also makes visible the work done by the members, the Governing Board and the Secretariat throughout the year. Part of our work is reflected in the visible results we can now proudly present also to the policy makers and stakeholders as well as to a broad range of partners. Year by year our annual reports build a more comprehensive view of the importance of youth information and counselling services in relation to the growth and wellbeing of young people. ERYICA's activities and services have kept their finger on the pulse yet again. We have been at the centre of relevant issues and phenomena concerning young people, youth work and youth policy. We can be proud of the many results of our work. One of the most significant is our publication Liaisons – Prevention of violent extremism through youth information. The work has been carried out during 2017 and in 2018 the publication is available in French and in English. My sincerest thanks go to all those who were involved in the making of it. Young people's right to receive information was raised as a crucial right of citizenship in several discussions and forums on both national levels and within European youth policy. We have been actively involved in these discussions and declarations. This work has been carried out in a good cooperation with our members, the Governing Board and the Secretariat.
of youth information and counselling services as well as our partners and stakeholders in giving information of our services and the support we can provide. It also offers us an important window on the world for which makes our work more visible and open to all. ERYICA has been a reliable and competent actor and partner at various levels. Good cooperation with European Youth Card Association (EYCA) and Eurodesk, among others, has been very important for us. For myself, as the President of ERYICA, it has been a pleasure to be able to participate and follow our activities. I would like to offer my thanks to our members and once more welcome the new members who joined us in 2017. My sincerest thanks also go to our partners and stakeholders for active cooperation. As the President of ERYICA and on behalf of the Governing Board, I would like to thank the Secretariat for your excellent and motivated work and support! We have successfully achieved the goals set for 2017. The year has been uplifting and our projects ambitious in many ways.
Youth Information aims (among other objectives) to: •	Provide reliable, unbiased, accurate and youth-friendly information; •	Facilitate access to different sources and channels of information; •	Give an overview of options available on topics relevant to young people; •	Help young people to navigate the information overload of modern day society; •	Ensure that young people know their rights, services available and how to access them; •	Support young people in evaluating the available information and its quality; •	Guide young people to find the best options available to them and make their own decisions; •	Offer different channels of communication and dialogue to directly support young people in their search for information and knowledge; and •	Educate in media and information literacy.
Finding your place in society. The aim of youth information and counselling is not only to meet the needs of the general public – its principal objective – but also to anticipate their needs and prepare preventative measures accordingly. Some of these needs will relate to key issues in society, notably, physical and mental health, highrisk behaviour, interpersonal relationships, discrimination, citizenship, active participation in society and access to social rights. Only by being adequately informed about one's rights and duties is it possible to find a place in society and be a well-informed citizen. Creating an information culture. Today, young people are inundated with information and exposed to a wide variety of different media. This access to information is unprecedented, and having access to such a variety of media sources brings with it a previously unseen tendency for people to want to create their own media content, often in a personal and uncontrolled manner. In order to be a conscious citizen, it is important that one looks at this content critically, evaluating the quality, reliability, strategy and interest of those producing the information. In this context, youth information and counselling services take on a new aim; to educate young people on media and information literacy.
The European Youth Information and Counselling Agency (ERYICA) is an independent, international, nongovernmental and non-profit association composed of national and regional youth information coordination bodies and networks. It works to intensify European and international cooperation in the field of youth information work and services. ERYICA makes youth information work visible at local, national and international levels, and provides its members with opportunities for professional development, exchange and innovation. In 2017, our network consisted of 25 Members, 6 Affiliated organisations and 4 Co-operating organisations in 27 countries. ERYICA was established on 17 April 1986 in Madrid, Spain, and is currently registered in the Grand-Duchy of Luxemburg, in accordance with the 1928 Luxemburg.
ERYICA believes in a society where all young people have access to youth friendly, reliable and comprehensive information, which promotes their autonomy, well-being and active citizenship in a global and digitalised world.
To inspire, support and develop youth information and counselling in Europe and beyond.
Quality youth information and counselling support services can only be achieved and ensured via trained professionals. The increasing emphasis on quality and quality assurance processes in formal and non-formal education at different policymaking levels inspires ERYICA's commitment to strengthening and promoting the provision of quality youth information and counselling in Europe and beyond.
•	Helsinki, Finland, 12-16 June 2017 As well as these courses, the YIntro is still an integral part of youth worker training in Wales and similar arrangements are also being made for the Digital YIntro course. These training courses were organised mainly by ERYICA Member Organisations that are free to initiate trainings, access the materials and cooperate with the trainers' pool. Certain courses were also organised by the ERYICA Secretariat.
Further fields of activities under this Strategic Direction included: •	Development of innovative training methods and topics, and staff mobility activities; •	Development and update of training materials and courses; •	Support to the network of ERYICA trainers through the use of specific communication tools and the dissemination of information ; •	Promotion of the existing training materials throughout the network and in countries willing to establish youth information and counselling services; •	Development of contacts with the formal education sector and other youth-related sectors in view of setting up common activities and projects; and •	Participation in the training activities of our stakeholders and partners.
and evaluation methods for online courses in the youth work sector, and use the ERYICA Quality Management Catalogue to further increase the quality of youth information and counselling services. 2017 has been a busy year for the project, including the adaptation, piloting and revision of the YoMIM and the Digital YIntro training courses, as well as the development of an eLeaning Kit and a Quality tool. After two training of trainers courses and the implementation of the feedback, the project will continue with the translations of these two courses into 5 more languages (French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Croatian), as well as the adaptation of the Jimmy and ALTYO training courses in 2018.

Despite the importance of youth information in supporting young people to achieve their full potential, it is still difficult for many youth information and youth work providers to effectively promote and reach the vast majority of young people that do not take advantage of these services. This project aimed at broadening the understanding of practices and policies in youth work and youth information internationally, and at enhancing the modernisation and effectiveness of the promotion of youth work and youth information services. The project activities included: 1.
the needs identified (5-7 April 2017). The training aimed to address the needs of youth work and youth information structures in optimising the promotion of their services among young people, and in establishing efficient marketing and communication mechanisms to make their services attractive to them. An e-publication comprised of the most significant challenges of the sector in terms of reaching out to more young people, which were identified through the survey, outcomes of the training event, and good practices to tackle these challenges from the 3 networks.
Brussels in September 2017, at the Working Group meeting of the French-speaking members of ERYICA in October 2017, and also ran a training session at the conference Youth Work Against Violent Extremism, which took place in Malta in November 2017. Further details can be found under Strategic Direction 4 – Council of Europe.

The Advanced YIntro course targets experienced youth information workers who aim to further develop their skills and competences, as well as to broaden their expertise on a more abstract level of youth information. The project included two activities, an international Advanced YIntro training of trainers, and then a training course. The first course, hosted by OSRS in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, offered a solution for increasing the number of Advanced YIntro trainers and therefore the dissemination of the course as well. A participant of this course had the opportunity to put his new trainer skills into practice during the training course in Luxembourg, hosted by CIJ and ERYICA.
The effects of social and economic change on young people have a clear impact on the work of youth information and counselling professionals. In addition, the introduction of innovative digital tools popular among young people is changing the nature and channels used to provide youth information and counselling services. Thus, youth information workers need to be aware of and familiar with new trends and technologies that influence and shape the sector.
Collaboration with the Pool of European Youth Researchers (EU-CoE Youth Partnership) ERYICA is a member of the European Platform on Learning Mobility (EPLM), which aims to create a participatory space for exchange and cooperation between practitioners, researchers and policy makers. Read more under Strategic Direction 4. The organisation has also collaborated with Manfred Zentner, member of the Pool of European Youth Researchers, in the drafting of the theoretical part of the Liaisons manual.
Further activities under this Strategic Direction included: •	Organisation of an Open Dialogue Day on Mobility with researchers and stakeholders in the field in connection with the MOVE project; •	Identification of researchers on youth policy through dialogue with research institutes and higher education institutions; •	Dissemination of research results and publications among the members throughout the network's channels; and •	Participation in research projects and project proposals dealing with youth policy and addressing the Strategic Directions and Thematic Priorities of ERYICA, especially under Horizon 2020.

The aim of the MOVE project is to provide a research-informed contribution towards an improvement of the conditions of the mobility of young people in Europe and a reduction of the negative impacts of mobility through the identification of good practice, thus fostering sustainable development and well-being. The main research question was: How can the mobility of young people be 'good' both for socio-economic development and for individual development of young people, and what are the factors that foster/hinder such beneficial mobility? Six types of mobility were addressed in this research: higher education, voluntary work, employment, vocational training, pupil's exchange and entrepreneurship.
In February 2017, ERYICA organised an Open Dialogue day on youth mobility and youth transitions, inviting stakeholders working at European level to discuss the results of the MOVE project so far. A second workshop was organised in Stockholm in November 2017, to disseminate the research results in areas of Europe where the research was not carried out. Participants from Sweden, Finland, Norway, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia attended this event. The event was combined with the first meeting of the ERYICA Nordic-Baltic Working Group.
The project aimed at enhancing the quality of youth information by developing a guide for youth information workers based on the exchange of practices, which would then be applied by youth information centres in Europe. Under this project, a survey was carried out, its results were elaborated and the identified needs were incorporated in a methodological guide for youth information work, including good practice examples. The project also included a training event for youth information centre staff, and ERYICA contributed at this event.

The overarching aim of this project is to increase the quality and outreach of youth information at local level by creating and applying user-friendly methods built on evidence-based youth information needs and involving peer-to-peer youth information educators. The first part of the project involved carrying out a survey in 20 countries, and in 18 different languages, aiming to identify the information needs of young people. This survey was addressed to both users and non-users of youth information services, and it gathered a total of 3,476 responses between December 2017 and February 2018. Researchers from the Information Studies Department of Åbo Akademi in Finland, in collaboration with ERYICA, analysed how young people's needs and attitudes have evolved in the past few years.
Engaging youth in decision-making is essential to their overall development and ensures stable valuebased and democratic societies. The concepts of 'participation' and 'empowerment' in the youth information and counselling context imply giving young people more control over their personal development and decisions. The raising use of innovative digital tools among young people opens up interesting opportunities for increasing their participation in decision-making processes.

in 2018, including projects and activities from the years 2017-2018.
Participation in the No Hate Speech Movement meetings and support of the campaign launched by the Council of Europe ERYICA is a partner and a proud supporter of the No Hate Speech Movement. The Agency was represented in the followup group of the Movement in the course of 2017. News and developments were regularly published on our website, social media groups and newsletters, while direct communication to Members encouraged their participation in different actions. (Read more under Strategic Direction 4 – Council of Europe).
Promotion of the Kit on Access to Rights Both in the framework of the cooperation between the Council of Europe and ERYICA and at other events, numerous occasions provided space for the promotion of the kit on young people's access to rights. Read more under Strategic Direction 4 – Council of Europe.
Involvement of youth ambassadors in the activities of the Agency ERYICA's Youth Ambassadors have been offered further opportunities to engage in the activities of the organisation. These include participation in professional development processes in order to ensure that the outcomes of our work meet the needs of young people (e.g. within projects, such as the MOVE Open Dialogue Day in Brussels on 9 February 2017), as well as opportunities for participation in events as Youth Ambassadors of ERYICA, and the EU Youth Conference organised by the Maltese Presidency of the Council of the European Union in Qawra on 20-23 March 2017. In 2017, Youth Ambassadors participated in the Youth for Tomorrow's Europe conference in Malta on 14-17 May and were invited to the Working Group on the revision of the European Youth Information Charter and the MOVE preconference. These latter events took place in 2018, but arrangements were made in the course of 2017. During the year, ERYICA started developing a framework to involve Youth Ambassadors in the activities of our network in a more structured way.
11 partners from 8 European countries including IJAB.
The evolution of European policy-making strategies towards a more international scope, calls for exploring new collaboration arenas at the international level. ERYICA aims to reinforce and deepen its relationships and co-operation with a selected group of international institutions and partner organisations, while of course staying open to collaboration with other stakeholders. These relationships shall be based on the endorsement of common policy goals and priority areas.
Jeunesse (Belgium) is a 240-page toolkit on the prevention of violent extremism through youth information and counselling. The first part of the manual is theoretical and allows the reader to understand the mechanisms and the reasons behind violent extremism. It aims to define the role of youth (information) workers in the prevention of violent extremism. The second part is a practical toolbox, and includes a range of over 50 activities, divided into the following chapters: •	Self-confidence, self-esteem, knowing yourself (identity, talents, projects and dreams) •	Diversity and living together (Understanding others, stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination, interculturality) •	Communication (expressing ideas, debating, conflict management) •	Media and information literacy (critical thinking, media, propaganda, conspiracy theories) The activities in the toolbox have been selected due to their relevance and capacity to have a positive impact on young people. The reader will find learning objectives, practical information (target group, material, group size), a detailed description of how to carry out the activity, as well as advice, in each activity.
The electronic publication was published on 15 December 2017, while the printed version was ready at the end of December 2017. The English version will be finalised in the first quarter of 2018.
CDEJ Meetings: 27-29 March, Budapest, Hungary & 16-18 October 2017, Strasbourg, France ERYICA is observer of the CDEJ (European Steering Committee for Youth), a statutory body of the Council of Europe that is comanaging the youth activities and budget of the Department of Youth and Sport together, on an equal basis, with the Advisory Council on Youth. Meetings of the CDEJ have been seized as an opportunity to discuss youth information development with the responsible persons of the Ministries in charge of youth. The two meetings of 2017 took place in Budapest on 27-29 March 2017 and in Strasbourg on 16-18 October 2017. The Director represented ERYICA at both meetings.
activities throughout the year. As the European campaign was coming to an end in 2017, ERYICA also disseminated its evaluation survey in the ERYICA network and provided input for the evaluation process.
Meeting of the JCC: Strasbourg, France, 18 October 2017 Since 1997, ERYICA activities with the Council of Europe have been developing within the framework of the Partnership Agreement that is maintained through the work of the Joint Coordinating Committee (JCC). One JCC meeting took place in 2017, after the CDEJ meeting in Strasbourg. The meeting defined the activities of the cooperation for 2018, which are centred around the organisation of a seminar on youth information and counselling in Ukraine and support of the development of youth information services in the country in collaboration with the National Association of Youth Centres and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The dissemination of Liaisons and other publications realised in the framework of the Partnership Agreement between the Council of Europe and ERYICA also remains a priority in 2018.
The two institutions celebrated 20 years of cooperation in 2017, which was recognised and appreciated by Director of Democratic Citizenship and Participation at the Council of Europe and the President of ERYICA.
No Hate Speech Movement (NHSM) ERYICA is a recognised partner organisation of the No Hate Speech Movement. The Agency has an observer seat in the followup group of the Campaign. The group functioned as the Steering Group of the Movement, while the meetings also provide an opportunity to showcase the engagement of ERYICA in the NHSM, report on our related activities and engage in further cooperation. One follow-up group meeting took place in Strasbourg on 18-19 September 2017.
Dissemination Activities of CoE initiatives and Publications The promotion of the Youth Information Starters Kit, the Compendium of National Youth Information and Counselling Structures, as well as the Kit on Young People's Access to Rights, realised in cooperation with the Council of Europe and ERYICA, has continued. The activity has expanded with the promotion and dissemination of the Liaisons toolkit. ERYICA also provided dissemination for CoE publications, recommendations and policy documents. In 2017, this included the Action Plan on Protecting Refugee and Migrant Children, the MOOC entitled Essentials of Youth Policy and numerous initiatives of the No Hate Speech Movement, among others.
Meeting Quality Labels: International information resources for the development of youth centres – Chernigov, Ukraine, 30-31 May 2017 The CoE requested ERYICA to propose an expert in international information resources for the development of youth centres in Ukraine and the Caucasus area. Kerstin Giebel (IJAB) represented ERYICA as a network expert at this event that gathered several interested organisations active in the youth sector. The meeting also played a role in defining the directions of the cooperation between ERYICA and the CoE for 2018.
quite involved, but at the CoE level as a whole. It also provides opportunity to meet INGOs in other sectors that work with the CoE, therefore increasing our capacity for cross-sectorial cooperation.
Stakeholders 3 networks collaboration In the spirit of the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2016, the three networks continued the promotion of their common position paper entitled Engage, Inform, Empower – Recommendations from the main European youth information and mobility networks on the new EU Youth Strategy. The document puts forward the recommendations of the three networks in their field of expertise. The three networks also completed a joint project, entitled Reach More Young People, with support from the Erasmus+ Programme. Read more under Strategic Direction 1, Projects.
The Governing Boards of the three networks had a joint meeting in Brussels on 28 June 2017, where the discussions included potential future cooperation areas. The event aimed to strengthen the active cooperation of the three networks further.

Establishment of contacts with other stakeholders at European and international level, such as: •	European Peer Training Organisation (EPTO); •	International Observatory for Juvenile Justice (OIJJ); and •	Universities and networks of universities.
•	Editing and approval of the Work Programme 2017; •	Modification of the Standing Orders; •	Inspiring speech; •	Presentation of the outcomes of the Working Group on the communication strategy; •	Presentation of stakeholders; •	Presentation of ERYICA projects; •	Presentation of the activity report of the network 2017; •	Results of the Members' Survey 2016; and •	Elevator pitch on Members' projects and good practices from the network. The General Assembly elected CIDJ, represented by Claire Conlon, to the vacant seat of the Governing Board.
ERYICA Working Groups Several Working Groups have undertaken specific tasks to move the development of the network and the organisation forward. The creation of Working Groups is a great way of combining Members' expertise and ERYICA's European outreach for the development of youth information and counselling. In 2017, the following Working Groups were active: •	Working Group on the ERYICA Strategy; •	Working Group of French-speaking Members; •	Iberian meeting and creation of an Iberian Working Group; •	Working Group of Nordic-Baltic Members; •	Working Group on the European Youth Information Charter.
Interns under the Erasmus Placement Programme continue forming an integral part of the ERYICA Team. Besides reinforcing ERYICA's European identity and ensuring the involvement of young people in our everyday activities, the placement provides an opportunity for the trainees to get to know more about youth information and counselling services and at the same time gather work experience. Kyriaki Fotiadou from Greece and Inkeri Poskiparta from Finland supported the activities of the Secretariat in 2017.
Communication & Public Relations Website As part of the implementation of the communication strategy, ERYICA has published a new website. The new design and navigation is in line with new, userfriendly trends and the content is published in a structure that provides an easier overview for the visitor. The new website is an important step in the rationalisation of ERYICA's online presence, diminishing the number of relays and grouping services. In this process, the old interfaces of the Information Right Now! campaign and the YoMIM site and app have been closed down in early 2018.
ERYICA's social media interfaces continued attracting followers over the year 2017. The Facebook page accumulated 3,056 fans, a 10% increase within one year. Our posts were read 104,755 times, which is a 10% decrease on the year before. This is most probably to do with the unlinking of the Facebook and Twitter accounts in line with the new communication strategy, recognising that the two platforms need different content to best meet followers' expectations.
Since November 2015, ERYICA has had a liaison desk at the premises of our Belgian Member Organisation, De Ambrassade, in order to ensure more frequent representation in the European capital and to be closer to our stakeholders. The arrangement means access to meeting rooms, that all Member Organisations of ERYICA can benefit from, following prior consultation with the Secretariat. Among other meetings and events, in 2017 the Brussels representation hosted for example an Open Dialogue Day on the prevention of youth violent extremism in the framework of the cooperation between the Council of Europe and ERYICA, meetings of the French-speaking Working Group, a Governing Board meeting, and a 3 networks meetings of EYCA, Eurodesk and ERYICA.
ERYICA's Twitter account had 1,077 followers on 31 December 2017, which corresponds to an intensive growth of 24% in a year. The outreach of our tweets amounts to 217,400 for the year 2017, making Twitter ERYICA's most effective social media tool. This growing engagement of followers also translated into a high number of likes (881) and retweets (471). ERYICA started using Instagram more actively during the last year and counts 117 followers at the moment. The use of LinkedIN will be further explored and exploited in the course of 2018.
European Youth Information Day The 17th April traditionally gives space to the activities of the European Youth Information Day, promoting youth information and counselling across Europe. In 2017, ERYICA chose the subject of fake news and the reliability of information, and addressed it through a meme competition. Members, stakeholders and young people were invited to create and publish memes beginning with the phrase "Who told you…" and mark it with #checkyoursource. The winners of the competition were voted by the 28th General Assembly. As well as this initiative, youth information centres traditionally organise activities with young people on this day and benefit from the promotion and visibility opportunity it represents.
As of 31 December 2017, ERYICA's membership counted 25 Members, 6 Affiliated organisations and 4 Cooperating organisations in 27 countries.

In re SunEdison, Inc. Securities Litigation
Court: U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
Case Number: 16-md-2742-PKC
Judge: Hon. P. Kevin Castel
Case Contacts: Salvatore J. Graziano, Katherine M. Sinderson, Adam Hollander
This is a securities class action on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or acquired the common stock of SunEdison, Inc. ("SunEdison" or the "Company") from after the close of trading on September 2, 2015 through April 3, 2016, or who purchased or acquired SunEdison preferred stock from its offering on August 18, 2015 through November 9, 2015, inclusive. This action asserts claims under the federal securities laws against SunEdison, SunEdison CEO Ahmad Chatila ("Chatila"), SunEdison's former directors, and the underwriters of an August 2015 offering of preferred stock (collectively, "Defendants").
Settlement of the Action
The Court-appointed Lead Plaintiff Municipal Employees' Retirement System of Michigan ("MERS") and Named Plaintiff Arkansas Teacher Retirement System ("ATRS," and together with MERS, "Plaintiffs"), on behalf of themselves and the Class, reached a settlement of this action for a cash payment of $74 million with a potential additional supplemental payment of up to $2 million.
Following the final approval hearing on October 25, 2019, the Court entered the Judgment finally approving the Settlement and resolving all claims in the Action. The Court also entered separate Orders approving the Plan of Allocation for the proceeds of the Settlement and awarding Plaintiffs' Counsel attorneys' fees and expenses.
If you are a member of the Class, your rights will be affected and you may be eligible for a payment from the Settlement. The Class consists of:
(1) all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of SunEdison common stock from after the close of trading on September 2, 2015 through and including April 3, 2016, and were damaged thereby (the "Exchange Act Subclass"); and
(2) all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of SunEdison preferred stock from August 18, 2015 through November 9, 2015, inclusive, pursuant or traceable to the registered public Preferred Offering on or about August 18, 2015, and were damaged thereby (the "Securities Act Subclass").
It is possible for you to be a member of either or both subclasses described above. Certain persons are excluded from the Class by definition as set forth in paragraph 31 of the Settlement Notice. Other persons are excluded from the Exchange Act Subclass and/or Securities Act Subclass pursuant to requests made in connection with the Class Notice, which was mailed to Class members beginning in April 2019. Persons excluded by request are set forth on Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 to the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement.
Please read the Settlement Notice to fully understand your rights and options. Copies of the Settlement Notice and Claim Form can be found on the Case Documents page. You may also visit the case website, SunEdisonSecuritiesLitigation.com, for more information about the Settlement.
If you are a member of the Class, in order to be potentially eligible to receive a payment under the Settlement, you must submit a Claim Form postmarked no later than November 27, 2019.
Payments to eligible claimants will be made only after the completion of all claims processing. Please be patient, as this process will take some time to complete.
The action alleges that the executives of SunEdison, at one time one of the largest renewable energy companies in the world, misled investors concerning its financial condition. Specifically, Plaintiffs allege that, throughout the Class Period, SunEdison's senior executives defrauded investors through a series of misrepresentations concerning the Company's liquidity position, debt profile, and the viability of SunEdison's business strategy.
Investors began to learn the truth about the Company's financial condition through a series of corrective disclosures. For example, beginning in November 2015, the Company disclosed that it had reclassified approximately $740 million worth of "non-recourse" debt as "recourse," thereby admitting that the Company had misrepresented the nature of its debt and that, in truth, the lenders on these obligations could recover directly from the Company. In addition, SunEdison disclosed that it had entered into a one-year $170 million loan with Goldman Sachs at an effective 15% interest rate in August 2015—i.e., at the same time that the Company was assuring investors that its liquidity position was strong. Contrary to Defendants' representations, analysts explained that a loan with these terms demonstrated that the Company had "emergency cash needs" because no borrower would be forced to take out a loan on such terms other than a "distressed company." As a result of the disclosures of SunEdison's true financial condition, the Company's stock has declined over 95% from its Class Period high.
History of the Litigation
On March 24, 2016, the Honorable Rodney W. Sippel of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri appointed MERS as Lead Plaintiff and BLB&G as Lead Counsel.
On April 21, 2016, SunEdison filed for bankruptcy before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. On April 25, 2016, SunEdison filed a notice of bankruptcy filing, notifying the District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri that any further action against the Company was stayed pursuant to the automatic bankruptcy stay of United States Bankruptcy Code. On April 26, 2016, in light of SunEdison's notice of bankruptcy, the District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri issued an order administratively closing the action. On July 19, 2016, the Court issued an order permitting Lead Plaintiff to file a consolidated amended securities class action complaint (the "CAC") against non-debtor defendants. Lead Plaintiff filed the CAC, three days later, on July 22, 2016, against, among others, SunEdison's former CEO, its Class Period directors, and the underwriters of SunEdison's August 2015 Preferred Offering.
In July 2016, Lead Plaintiff filed a motion before the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (the "MDL Panel") to transfer this case and multiple other related cases pending nationwide to the Southern District of New York. On October 4, 2016, the MDL Panel granted Lead Plaintiff's motion and transferred this case to Judge Castel of the Southern District of New York.
On March 21, 2017, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the "SAC"). On March 6, 2018, after full briefing on Defendants' motions to dismiss the SAC, Judge Castel issued a decision sustaining in part the SAC for Section 11 claims related to the August 2015 Offering and Section 10(b) claims arising from a September 2, 2015 statement by Defendant Chatila.
Discovery in the Action commenced in March 2018. Defendants and third parties produced more than 300,000 documents, totaling more than 2,260,000 pages, to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs produced over 12,000 pages of documents to Defendants, and Plaintiffs' market-efficiency expert produced more than 22,000 additional pages of documents to Defendants. Between October 2018 and February 2019, Plaintiffs deposed 19 fact witnesses, including nine former senior executives or high-ranking employees of SunEdison or related companies TerraForm Power and TerraForm Global, four former directors of SunEdison, and six representatives of the Underwriter Defendants. In connection with Plaintiffs' class-certification motion, Defendants deposed one representative from each Plaintiff, as well as Plaintiffs' market-efficiency expert Dr. Steven Feinstein. The Parties also served and responded to interrogatories and requests for admission and exchanged numerous letters, including disputes between the Parties and with nonparties, concerning discovery issues, several of which were submitted to the Court for resolution.
On June 13, 2018, Lead Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. Following briefing on the motion, on January 7, 2019, the Court issued an Opinion and Order granting the class certification motion with a modified class as described herein. The "Class" certified by the Court consists of two subclasses: (1) all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of SunEdison common stock between September 2, 2015 and April 4, 2016, and were damaged thereby (the "Exchange Act Subclass"); and (2) all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of SunEdison preferred stock between August 18, 2015 and November 9, 2015, inclusive, pursuant or traceable to the registered public offering on or about August 18, 2015, and were damaged thereby (the "Securities Act Subclass," and together with the Exchange Act Subclass, the "Class"). The Court also appointed MERS as the Class Representative for the Exchange Act Subclass and ATRS as Class Representative for the Securities Act Subclass (MERS and ATRS, together, the "Class Representatives"), and appointed BLB&G as Class Counsel. A copy of the Notice of Pendency of Class Action can be viewed on the Case Documents page.
On June 11, 2019, following multiple mediation sessions and extended settlement negotiations, the Parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the Action in return for a total cash payment by or on behalf of Defendants of $74 million, with the possibility of an additional contingent payment of up to $2 million more.
On July 11, 2019, the Parties entered into the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the "Stipulation"), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Settlement. The Stipulation can be viewed on the Case Documents page or at www.SunEdisonSecuritiesLitigation.com.
On July 12, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the Settlement, requesting that the Court authorize notice of the Settlement to be sent to the Class and schedule a date for hearing on final approval of the Settlement and related matters. On July 16, 2019, the Court entered its Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing for Settlement Notice, which scheduled a hearing for October 25, 2019 to consider final approval of the Settlement and related matters.
On September 20, 2019, Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel filed their papers in support of the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, and the fee and expense application.

Microsoft's Xbox One E3 2015 Press Conference
Microsoft will kick off the year's biggest video game confab on Monday, June 15 with a press conference dedicated to all things Xbox.
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:56:50 PM
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:57:45 PM
Oh, alien looking thing now attacks our heroes. Make that things. Aliens spit goop, heroes shoot guns and use the saws built onto their guns
It's called Gears 4.
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:58:03 PM
Between this and Doom, that's two games where you cut monsters up with a chainsaw. One more and we've got a trend story.
Coming holiday 2016, so not in competition with Halo 5
Now Phil Spencer back on stage. "Today we showed you the greatest games lineup in Xbox history," he says.
Looks like we're wrapping up. I'm making the call right now, it's all about Cuphead!
"There truly has never been a better time to be an Xbox gamer," he says.
He makes a plug for the Xbox 360 too. "
If you've been waiting to upgrade from an Xbox 360, now is the time."
Quick nod to the July release of Windows 10, which we're working on gaming benchmark tests for right now back at the CNET Labs.
Alright, the show is over. So the big announcements, other than games? The backward compatibility will be a big deal to Xbox fans.
Between this and Bethesda last night, two big, long press events with very little dead air in them. Speaks well to the upcoming lineups of software.
Nintendo and Sony have to rely on other services to help make their older games work on their respective systems. Microsoft says it'll just work--pop in the disk from an Xbox 360 game and download the new code and you're good to go. The only hiccup, as with any game, is getting the outside game makers on board. But EA at least has promised to join in. We'll have to see if Activision does too.
Great photo work by Josh Miller, by the way, sitting right next to me and working like a madman.
Signing off -- see you guys later!
Sarah Tew 6/15/2015 6:02:36 PM
Ok, that's it. Thanks for joining us this morning. We'll be streaming EA's press conference live starting at 1pm PT. Check back for that.
Michelle Meyers 6/15/2015 6:03:24 PM
Comments open again if you all want to give us your feedback on the presentation.
Sen 6/15/2015 6:05:01 PM
What are the opinions for the paddles on the elite controller?
@Sen: Microsoft hasn't said yet, but I imagine you'll get those details soon. Seemed like you can easily switch them out.


Hundreds of mourners arrived at the Johannesburg Country club on Thursday morning to say goodbye to actress Ashley Callie who died on Friday last week.Callie, who was well known for her role as Leone Haines in Isidingo, was involved in a car accident on the corner of 4th Avenue and Tana Road.
Although initial reports indicated she was doing well after surgery, she died as a result of her injuries.
"Ashley's life motto was Carpe Diem ( seize the day) – she saw opportunities and took them. She lived life to the full. There is no point in asking what ifs, or reflecting on the negative – look at the love and warmth here today," said close family friend and master of ceremonies Kate Turkington.
A coral-coloured rose, Ashley's favourite colour, has been named after her.
Pumla Hopa, Executive producer for Isidingo said that there would always be a gaping hole in the Isidingo family.
SABC group chief executive officer, Dali Mpofu, said millions of Isidingo fans could say that they'd lost a loved one.
"I ask Ashley's family to forgive me for treating her like public property. She was one of the people who told our stories and she did that so well in Isidingo. You were great, you touched our lives," he said.
Local singer, Loyiso Bala, sang Nat King Cole's Unforgettable as a tribute to Callie.
"Ashley told her sister a week before she died that she wanted to buy Loyiso's CD; she didn't get around to it, but he is here to sing for her now," said the master of ceremonies.
Visibly moved, Callie's father, Graham hugged Loyiso after he had sung.
"Ashley was a woman of grace and style, elegant, charming, sensitive and tender. In the swamp of vulgarity we wade through, she was polished. Crisp as an apple," he said.
Ashley go with God we know that you are in a better place now. Let us do and be there for each other day by day as life was so easily given so easily can it be taken away.
And to the family, we stand by you in this time of grief and hardship, but know this that Ashley will always be there in spirit wherever you may go and when it is your time to depart this earth, rest assured she will be waiting at the gates of heaven for you.
Thanks for posting that. I think today has been hard for all of us – as I was driving , I filled with a deep sense of the fragility of life.
SABC3 news at 1 showed part of the memorial and I sobbed – my own sorrow overflowing into empathy for those whose lives have been so closely touched by Ashley.
Again, to the family and friends and colleagues – strength to you as you enter yet another new phase of life.
Am from Malawi,but i have know Ashley as if she is my hommie, sometimes i even thought she can recognise me if we meet.
This week i have been watching isidingo with soul, power Harriete the match making storyline will finish without Lee.
Thank you for letting us be a part of Ashley's farewell and celbration of life. I had the complete honour of meeting her once. She is and was an inspiration of life, energy, hope, radiating life, love, laughter and purity.
She will never be forgotten and we will keep her memory, her spirit and flame alive within us.
THANK YOU for sharing your angel with us!
Ash, you live within us and we will keep your flame alive!
What can i say…. A JOB extremely well done!!!!!!!!!
Ashley we are all going to miss you so much. Your pretty face on our TV screens. To her Family my thoughts are with you!!!! Good-bye Ashley!!!
Shame man, Sorry to all of Ashley's fans,friends and family, the Beauty of God showed in the Love, care and support you all showed on this website.God's Beauty showed in her Life story.Thank God for having Blessed your lives with her.Thank God for the Love that you showed for her.It's all Beautiful.And He will all give you the strength to pull through this and Bless you more and more!
I wish i could have been a the memorial serivce. Allthough i was not there in person i was there in spirit.
Hope that you will all find peace.
Goodbye my friend… I'm devastated, but I know that God has recalled you for a greater purpose, although we who grieve, don't quite understand it.
Thank you for everything you have done for all of us!
In living and loving memory…Always!
I couldn't sleep properly lsat night – I kept thinking of Ashley and what she must've seen and felt those last few split seconds before the accident. The thought of those images horrifies me. I feel so sad today – this is nothing compared to what her family must be feeling. God keep you safe always.
i also watched noeleen. like i said before i didnt know a grown man can cry this much. i dont care. everything feel so final and real now that the memorial is over. i guess in a way it felt like a caracter she played, the accident and all. but now i realised its the end. i dont have more tisues. toilet paper will have to do now.bye ash.
Our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ashley was a lovely, beautiful person, and we are so sorry for your loss.
Farewell Ashley, rest in peace.
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you . I can't imagine how difficult it is going to be to carry on filming without her .The fact that the producers have decided not to recast the role is very fitting tribute to her , it just wouldn't be the same seeing someone else acting her part.It's strange to feel this way , as if i've just lost my best friend even though i've never met her. Watching 3 talk this afternoon just reinforced the fact of her strong personality , sense of humour and infectious smile . Our prayers and thoughts are with the family and cast.
thanx meg ashley's death has made me very sad and i started to miss my fiance so much. but you know what its not so much the longing for their presence that gets to you anymore. its the good things like seeing ther smile or hearing their voice that makes you smile as well and remember them.
anyway i still hope and pray everyday and i am definately looking forward to seeing them both one day. and ashley's famiy should know that God loaned his angel ASHLEY to them and He needed her back. So they should hold on to the memories they shared with her, it will keep them going.
Thank you so much, Callie family, for affording us the opportunity of some degree of closure after your beautiful and extraordinary daughter, Ashley's, death. It was so dignified, gracious and yet also so warm a Memorial Service, and in this way seemed to reflect so appropriately some of her finest attributes.
I was so overwhelmed by Robert Whitehead's presentation in her honour, his extraordinary eloquence, eradition and love for his colleague and friend. And also so grateful for his humanity in talking to his sense of loss and grief. After Kate Turkington's urging us not to have gathered to "beat our breasts" and weep and mourn, it was exquisetely appropriate to accept and understand the essentially human need to weep, to grieve, to not go into denial about this terrible loss.
To the Callie family I dont have words, I know axactly how you must be feeling right now, I also lost my 15yr old brother last year August he was shot. The pain is ubearable I miss him so much I wish he can come back to me and my mom, but I want to tell you Leoni is in Peace I will always call Ashley Leoni Haines Oh I admired her so much she was so powerful stubborn like her dad Barker. Have faith in God as time goes God will ease the pain. To the cast of Isidingo hang in there Lee will be part of your lives everyday I love you all.
Hey everyone! LEts all pull together and honour our beloved Ashley one more time!
LEts all vote for her for the stars of mzansi award for best actress!
Cudnt agree more with you Kathleen and Boichoko< she truly deserves it.
Once more, may her beautiful soul rest in peace.
We have been in London for a few months now and since the day of the accident have been kept updated. One can only imagine the disbelief we felt when we got emailed with news of her untimely passing.
What a wonderful, radiant, positiv being Ashley was, but we are sure that her light will forever shine brightly.
remember, the good die young!
ashley will be dearly missed and Isidingo will not be the same.
God's blessing to her family, colleagues and friends.
Keep on shining Ashley. You will always be a gem!
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise !
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright !
I carry them with me today !
Now as i lay me down to sleep , as i pray, that you will hold me dear, though i'm far away !
Its not clear to me ..every season has its change and i will see you when the sun comes out again !
Ashley, you have given me the best example of how to live one's life to the fullest and with utter passion. I can promise that I will be aiming to live my life each day at a time, as passionately as I can possibly muster. With you in my mind and your spirit in my heart, how could I go wrong?
To the Callie family, I hope that you can find strenght in the fact of how much your stunning daughter is loved.
I will carry you with me always, Cheers Ash!
That is so beautifully written, it stopped me in my tracks. I am sure it echoes the thoughts of all of us who are mourning Ashley. The loss is just too much to process.
I saw you, several times. At the restauarant you once owned, La Vista in Melville, some of these. You were pouring over books, so self-contained and focused, I did not want to tell you of how very much I admired your talent, the person who shone through your role. I saw you once at the lotions, potions and make-up section of one our department stores in Cresta – again, so quietly focuded on your mission. I so wish now I had told you of my admiration of you. I hope you knew how very much we all held you in such high regard and affection Ashley Callie. How horribly too soon you have gone, so horrifically, and with such grief left behind you. Did you ever dream of how you your fellow countrywomen and men regarded you, I wonder. I so hope you had at least some intimation of this.
This is to Claire Calley, We are not sure if you will remembe us, we used to look after you mom at our Nursing Home about 6 – 7 years ago.
We are very sad to hear about Ashley and we would like you to know that our thoughts are with you.
Generally the generosity and kindness of any person is carried down from generation to generation, your mom was a lovely lady and you yourself are a lovely person, although we do not know Ashley, we are certain that you have passed on your generosity and kindness to her. The fact that her life was taken so tragically and unnecessarily is very sad and a great loss to all that knew her or your family.
God bless you and your family at this time.
Death of a loved one is the most terrible pain all humans have to go through at some stage in their lives. This is the time when most people acknowledge the presence of God and yes, I too have experienced it. I asked myself, how can God be so cruel to take someone you have known your entire life away from you? What makes it all even harder is knowing that you will never see them again. This kind of pain never truely goes away, it scars you for the rest of your life. To the Callie family i say to you be strong and stand together in her memory. MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE!!

Lowcountry Exterior Design Company, Premier Exteriors, Donating Towards Curing Pediatric Cancer!
Well known exterior designers and businessmen in the Lowcountry, Justin Harvey and Chris Dalzell, contributed the vinyl siding and brick to Village Park Homes' St. Jude Dream Home, which is currently being built in Richmond Hill, Georgia.
In a recent interview, Harvey said that he chose to be a part of this mission because he attended the presentation last fall where Village Park Homes talked about the importance of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the great success that comes from building a St. Jude Dream Home as all profits from the raffle contest to win the home go directly towards the organization. Without a doubt, he wanted to be alongside Village Park Homes in this mission.
Harvey began Premier Exteriors LLC in 2008 in Bluffton, South Carolina in an upstairs Bonus Room. He currently has twenty-four men and women working for him in his three locations, Bluffton, Charleston, and as of last October, Myrtle Beach. Along with providing services in supplying stucco, siding, brick, and stone, Exterior Design is now offering EIFS and Nichiha Panels. Exterior Design has shown to only multiply in its successes over the years.
Village Park Homes is honored to have such a well-run, levelheaded company and management team working alongside us towards this mission to cure pediatric cancer! Village Park Homes is grateful for Exterior Design LLC's donations!
The estimated value of this St. Jude Dream Home is $400,000 and tickets to win this home cost $100. We have 6,500 tickets that can be reserved before selling out! To purchase a ticket visit dreamhome.org or call 800-383-9844!

Mats & Cargo Ships : Grey. Restricted to black and grey in most cases. High quality carpet mats, tailored to the foot grooves with knobbed backs to keep them in place. Grey monogrammed car floor mats. Purchase today a Sparco PVC Car Carpet Black Grey from ACE online!
Making your vehicle's carpets look as good as new or covering carpets that have already experienced better times is as easy as putting new mats on your deck. Auto mats are specially manufactured for use on the ground of your car and are specially formed for the areas under the legs of the front and rear seat drivers and passengers.
These mats are designed to act in the same way as a thrown blanket would act in your home; door mats don't just pull dirty clothes on, but keep them out of your carpeting. You' ll find a large selection of mats, and most of them differ in the materials they are made of and how easy they are to clean.
Doormats are the simplest to be cleaned, because you can simply rub them off or simply sprinkle them with a tube in the car washes. These mats are perfect for the harsh winters or for use in humid climate zones. Rugs are also a good choice, and they are much like the rug that is already on the ground of your car.
The mats can be sucked when they need to be cleaned, and some can even be thrown into the washing machine. When you own a lorry or pick-up, you can provide the same protection for the inside as your rugs by using a freighter instead of several mats.

Think about French automobiles and inevitably two vehicles spring to mind: the quirky 2CV and the iconic Citroen DS. Both models are cult favorites and at least one is making a comeback.
Citroen is launching a global rebranding campaign this Wednesday in conjunction with its 90th birthday, and along with upgrading its dealers and providing better post-sales support, Citroen will introduce a new segment of "near-premium" models that will revive the DS nameplate.
The first concept, a small car wearing a DS3 badge, will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show this March and hit the European market in the first half of 2010. Citroen will expand the range to include a lower-midsize vehicle, dubbed the DS4, due to go on sale in 2011, while a third model, an upper-medium sized sedan wearing a DS5 nameplate, will arrive in showrooms in late 2011.
The new DS range of vehicles will be positioned higher than their corresponding C3, C4 and C5 stablemates, and will likely feature more striking designs and luxurious appointments. We'll catch our first glimpse of the Citroen DS3 in less than a month, but expect more details to be released later this week.

Tsering Gellek, Director of the Swoyambhu Restoration Project that concluded recently, talks to Utsav Shakya about growing up in California's Buddhist community and her fond memories of Nepal.
Tell us a little about your childhood and while you were growing up.
I was born and raised in Berkley, California in 1973. My father is a monk, actually a first generation Tibetan Lama in America, and lives in a monastery. I was raised in a Buddhist community there too but I didn't have to wear robes or anything and had a very normal, American childhood. I do however have a strong bridge with the Buddhist way of life due to obvious influences. I majored in International Studies in college and later studied Law and Diplomacy at the graduate level. I have never taken any formal Buddhist studies though. After my college I worked for two years in Africa for the Livelihoods Program. I was working in a small team and doing work that mattered. Over time, I have discovered that I am attracted to such projects, start-up work, with a small team.
What sort of projects have you worked on before the Swoyambhu Restoration?
I have been involved with small scale projects for the Tibetan Nyingma Meditation Center in the last decade. We have established a peace bell in Lumbini and also established a number of the same in all major Buddhist sites in India such as Bodhgaya, Kushinagar and Sarnath. We also publish dharma books back home which we export to India to distribute for free. We are also building a Language and Culture Studies center in Sarnath soon.
What are some of your fond memories from the time you spent in Nepal for the restoration?
What would be your message to people who visit Swoyambhu in terms of their responsibility towards the now restored stupa?
Well I think there are certain things we can try and do so that the stupa is preserved better. Obviously, we can't expect age old traditions to stop such as offering rice grains and red powder and coins but we can change the approach a little which would make a huge difference. I would just like to request the people not to light butter lamps directly under the images there; instead use the separate space nearby. Also the powder we use contains glass particles which slowly but surely rub the gold plating off. If we could use an alternative to that, it'd be wonderful.


Behind the distinctive facial features (tattoos, gold teeth, and piercings), you'll discover a fascinating voice that's captured the hearts of the many. Born on July 4, 1995, as Austin Richard Post, Post Malone is a famous American rapper and singer, as well as a great songwriter and record producer. He always loved music that is why it's not a question as to why his words are deep and stirring. Here's a collection of his quotes that can stimulate you to do better and pursue your dreams.
I don't care who talks about me because when I come around nothing is said to me.
Best thing you can do is boss up mentally and financially.
Don't try to change anyone, change how you deal with them.
I am just creating the music I enjoy to make, and people seem to enjoy it.
They told me to quit, I don't listen to what I'm told.
You just go with the flow because life is just all about how you feel.
If you like something, rock it. If you want to rock a cape every day, go for it.
I'm hungry. I'm ready to grow.
Surround yourself around people who want to see you grow.
Post Malone has certainly proven his name in the industry with hit songs like White Iverson, Congratulations, Psycho, Rockstar, I Fall Apart, Better Now, Go Flex, Ball For Me and a lot more. But did you know that before hip-hop, rap rock, and R&B, he was into emo songs? The transitioning, however, did marvelous things to his career as he has become one of the most popular artists in the current generation. Also, his musical inclination runs in the blood as his father was a disc jockey back then.


In 2014 IEEE Information Theory Society President, Michelle Effros, knew that something had to be done. The man who coined the very phrase, Information Theory, had largely been forgotten. Given his importance, and the growing impact that his work was having on society at large, she led the IEEE Information Theory Society on a quest to use the Centennial of Claude Shannon's birth to right this injustice.
19 June was the World Premiere of the finished product. The Bit Player was screened to a full house on the big screen at the IEEE Information Theory Society's meeting in Vail, CO, US. The film was met with enthusiastic acclaim. Following the screening attendees were treated to a Q&A with the film's director and star.

The Realize the Full Potential of IEEE Campaign is reaching out to organizations, corporations and individuals worldwide to join in its efforts to drive new levels of technological access, innovation and engagement.

Dr. David Goodman, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, comments on the fact that many people with ADHD are still undiagnosed, regardless of the six-question survey that has been used for over a decade to diagnose the mental illness.
Although ADHD is more common in youth, it can be even more concerning in adults. Depending on the severity of this illness, ADHD can easily affect a working adult's ability to pay bills on time, be efficient at work, and manage their day-to-day lives.

The Power Of Libido In Women's Sexuality
The phrase "libido" refers to an electrical power postulated by Freud because the substrate within the sexual push. Even though the term has actually been made use of more in its quantitative report, Freud characteristics to it a marked qualitative character. The libido is actually sexual in character, becoming irreducible to other forms of unspecified mental strength. This is even the key position of disagreement amongst Freud and Jung, insofar as being the latter noticed from the libido an undifferentiated psychic vitality in its origin and which might be sexualized or desexualized and which coincided using the idea of psychological stamina generally speaking. For Freud, this reduction was superfluous and, additionally to bringing no theoretical benefit, obscured the principle he manufactured. Freud's libido is actually of a sexual nature, even though it could possibly be "desexualized" in regard to the goal, and is conceived because the dynamic manifestation during the psychic existence of sexual generate (Freud, ESB, vol.XVIII, p. 308).
Inside the 1st formulation of your idea from the drives (1910/1915), Freud elaborates a dualistic conception that opposes the sexual travel towards the drives of your ego. Whilst the electricity on the sexual push certainly is the libido and its aim is fulfillment, the drives of your ego would set their electrical power ("interest") during the support within the ego, aiming at self-preservation from the individual and thus opposing sexual drives. Its from the introduction from the approach of narcissism that the opposition involving sexual drive and ego drives commences to undo. Just what the notion of narcissism created distinct was the fact that sexual drives could just take absent the libido invested in objects and convey it back to the moi alone. This fact, which turned apparent in the investigations of psychoses, was termed "narcissism" additionally, the libido invested in the moi by itself was known as "narcissistic libido."

"The libido is invariably and automatically of the masculine character, whether or not it's in men or in women and no matter of whether it is a person or perhaps woman" (Freud, ESB, vol. VII, p. 266). This passage is simply not meant to generally be the chauvinistic cry of psychoanalysis, but somewhat the confession of a simple problem, which Freud finds in wanting to determine what characterizes the "masculine" plus the "feminine." In truth, the passage transcribed higher than is preceded by a further one which states: "Indeed, if we could provide a even more definite connotation on the ideas of 'masculine' and 'feminine', it might even be possible to keep up that libido is invariable and necessarily… "Freud states the principles of" masculine "and" female, "which appear to standard people today for being of the certainly unambiguous character, are in truth extremely hard to decide on the subject of accomplishing science.
Thus, from your organic issue of see, we could say that "masculine" and "feminine" are conditions placed on people who are characterised by becoming carriers of sperm or ovules, respectively, and by features hooked up to them. Nevertheless, as utilised earlier mentioned, the conditions "male" and "female" are used in the perception of exercise and passivity. As well as in this scenario, "a generate is usually energetic, even when it's a passive goal in view." Therefore, to say that "the libido is invariably and always of the masculine nature" is usually to say that the libido is invariably and essentially of an lively nature. What's more, Freud couldn't prevent his hypothesis which the individual is actually bisexual, which throws out a achievable accusation of macho (at least in regard to your textual content over).

From the summary-conclusion of your Three Essays, Freud usually takes up the question of constitutional and hereditary components and their affect for the enhancement of sexuality. Even though it affirms that constitutional and accidental aspects are complementary and not distinctive, it clearly exhibits which the bigger pounds falls on the former, into the point of making statements these as: "In additional than half of critical situations of hysteria, obsessive neurosis, and so forth. . of which I treated psychotherapically, I was capable to demonstrate with certainty that the patient's father experienced from syphilis ahead of relationship "(op.cit., p.243). Why not also mention that in more than 50 percent in the really serious conditions he dealt with psychotherapically, he could demonstrate with certainty that the patient's father and mother were being spiritual? Or that they ended up bourgeois? This sort of subordination on the psychic for the organic is definitely the exact as Freud undertakes when, in talking of experienced sexuality, it truly is conditioned on the reproductive operate.
