More FairPoint Glitches Leave Local Customers Without Phones, Internet and Email Access
Published June 10, 2009 at 10:27 a.m.
A switchover from Verizon's Internet servers to those of FairPoint Communications left an as-yet-undetermined number of Vermont businesses and consumers without Internet or email access for up to several days last week, a FairPoint spokesperson confirmed Friday.
On June 1, the day Verizon cut over its so-called DNS servers to FairPoint's, scores of FairPoint customers were left without Internet access — primarily small businesses and more sophisticated home-Internet users, such as online gamers who use static IP addresses.
The DNS, or domain name system, converts a domain name, such as google.com, into a numerical code so that the computer can find and communicate with other devices around the world, much the way a phone book translates a person's name into an area code and telephone number. FairPoint customers with static IP addresses — meaning those who manually set their DNS information into their computers — would have been unable to access the Internet if their equipment settings hadn't been changed beforehand to reflect FairPoint's new settings. Although the cutover was a scheduled event, and FairPoint says it notified its customers via phone and email, many customers reported they never got the message.
"We were expecting that some of our customers might have a service interruption," said FairPoint spokesperson Beth Fastiggi. "I suspect that any of them that did would have resolved those [problems] by now because they would have called the appropriate technical support number."
Fastiggi couldn't say how many customers lost service, or for how long; nor would she disclose how many static IP customers FairPoint has in Vermont, calling that "proprietary information." (A spokesperson for the Vermont Department of Public Service estimated the number at about 5000.)
Fastiggi also downplayed the severity of the problem, noting that, except for a small bump in call volume to FairPoint's technical support center on June 1, most of the week's call volume appeared normal. "Any customer should be fixed right now, because, basically, it's an easy fix," she added.
But for some Burlington-area businesses, the fix was neither quick nor easy. Dave Rose is owner of Rose Computer Technology Services in South Burlington, a "managed service provider" that offers mostly small business IT services. According to Rose, a number of his clients began losing Internet service early last week and didn't know why. While some of the problems could be fixed remotely or over the phone, others required more extensive troubleshooting. As late as Friday, Rose had to send a technician to a client's business in St. Albans to correct the problem. Rose wouldn't disclose how many of his customers were affected overall, though he pointed out that none had been notified in advance by FairPoint.
Zoltan Keve, vice president of sales at Caleidoscope Communications in Burlington, reported similar Internet outages from his clients. According to Keve, "dozens of customers" lost their Internet system beginning June 2. "There were various levels of annoyance," he said. "Some people's Internet was impacted a lot. Some people just couldn't browse for the afternoon … It would be as if your phone company changed your phone number without telling you."
Keve, whose company essentially acts as a telecommunications agent for various businesses, echoed Rose's experiences, noting that some customers' problems were quickly rectified over the phone, while others required more significant troubleshooting.
"When companies like FairPoint and Verizon decide they're going to transition major numbers of customers from one DNS address to another, that should be a planned event that's publicized," Keve said. "Notifications should go out. Instructions should be provided. None of that happened."
Caleidoscope filed a lawsuit against FairPoint earlier this year, claiming the company stole clients from Caleidoscope and engaged in deceptive and unfair trade practices; FairPoint denies the allegation. The case is pending.
Apparently, neither FairPoint nor Verizon notified the state that the recent cutover was scheduled to occur. "We didn't receive any heads-up that it was going to happen," said Tamera Pariseau, coordinator of consumer affairs for the Vermont Department of Public Service. When, after receiving numerous consumer complaints last week, DPS finally contacted FairPoint, "Their response was, they were not really sure what was happening, either."
Last week's problems were unrelated to an outage that occurred Monday, when as many as 12,000 Vermont FairPoint customers lost internet and email service for most of the day due to a router failure. Also on Monday, the South Burlington Police Department, Fire Department and city administrative offices lost the use of their phone lines for nearly six hours following an outage caused by a FairPoint circuit failure.
Although emergency 911 operators were able to maintain continual contact with police and fire agencies throughout the outage due to redundancies built into the communications network, at one point South Burlington's administrative offices were down to just two operable phone lines. A police spokesperson described the incident as "a significant inconvenience" to city operations.
Clearly, state officials are losing patience with FairPoint's ongoing troubles. Following Monday's widespread telecom outage, Pariseau noted that there's a Public Service Board workshop scheduled for June 16, during which they'll be "really looking at what our options are and what we can do, if anything, to try to better protect the consumers from these types of incidents.
"I would hate to say it's just a bad week, because it's just one thing after another," Pariseau added. "They really have some challenges that seem very difficult for them to overcome."
This week's technical glitches are just the latest in a series of aggravations FairPoint customers have endured over the last year since the Charlotte, North Carolina-based company took over the landlines and Internet network from Verizon throughout Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire. The most serious of those problems occurred on September 3, when customers in northern Vermont were unable to access the emergency 911 system for approximately 90 minutes. DPS Commissioner David O'Brien called that outage "preventable" and "absolutely unacceptable."

Q: Extract just file path from string I have a file that contains strings in this format:
MD5 (TestImages/IMG_0627.JPG) = 6ed611b3e777c5f7b729fa2f2412d656

I am trying to figure out a way to extract the file path, so that I would get a string like this:
TestImages/IMG_0627.JPG

For a different part of my script, I am using this code to remove everything before and after the brackets, and I could of course do something similar, however I'm sure there is a better way?
shortFile=${line#*MD5 }
shortFile=${shortFile%%)*}

Anyone have any suggestions?

A: You could use sed but that has the overhead of starting a new process.
echo $line | sed -r 's/MD5 \((.*)\).*/\1/'

A: Just to throw a non-sed answer onto the pile. (Also slightly cheaper since it avoids the pipeline and sub-shell.)
awk -F '[()]' '{print $2}' <<<"$line"

That said the substring expansion option is a reasonable one if it does what you need. (Though it looks like you missed the ( in the first expansion.)

A: sed -e 's/^.*(\([^)]*\)).*$/\1/' < infile.txt

A: Another way with cut can be :
echo $line|cut -d "(" -f2|cut -d ")" -f1

Chapter 03, Emerging Of Gandhi, 1915-1921, 19min 37sec, Reel 7, 8
The film depicts Gandhi's return to India from South Africa and his emergence on the Indian political horizon. He kindled the flame of pride in the Indian masses and taught them lessons in self-reliance and Satyagraha - the new gospel of action. People rallied round him and spontaneously called him Mahatma - the Great Soul.

Reel 07
Sequence 01 Gandhi and Kasturbai were given an imposing reception at the quay when they landed at Bombay on January 9, 1915.
2 Gandhi bound himself by a promise to Gokhale not to express any opinion on public questions until he had gained sufficient experience in India ... and proceeded to Kathiawad to meet relatives and friends.
3 He received a warm welcome. People spontaneously addressed him as Mahatma - the Great Soul.
4 Soon after Gandhi's Phoenix disciples took shelter at Shantiniketan Ashram, Poet Tagore wrote to Gandhi that they would form a living link in the Sadhana of both of their lives.
5 On their arrival at Shantiniketan to meet the Phoenix family, Gandhi and Kasturbai were honoured in the traditional manner.
Delighted with the artistic atmosphere of the Ashram, Gandhi hoped that through her oriental culture, India would establish friendly relations with the eastern and the western worlds.
6 He exhorted the inmates to adopt self-help and Shantiniketan became a busy hive but on February 19, it was immersed in grief at the news of Gokhale's sudden death. Gandhi bemoaned "I set out to find a true hero and found only one in India".
7 The Kumbh fair at Haradwar attracted many pilgrims. Gandhi too attended the fair - not with the sentiments of a pilgrim but as a volunteer to do sanitation work.
As an act of self-denial, here he pledged himself to limit his diet to five items and not to eat after sunset.
8 Seeking his own hermitage in an atmosphere of renunciation and service, Gandhi founded the Satyagraha Ashram at Kochrab near Ahmedabad on May 25, with twenty-five inmates bound by vows of truth and celibacy, non-violence and non-possession, swadeshi, Khadi and the removal of untouchability.
9 Soon, difficulty arose over the use of the well on the admission of an untouchable family as inmates of the Ashram, Gandhi was put to the test, but gradually the storm passed away. Untouchability was shaken to its foundation.
10 In 1917, Gandhi found a congenial task in the service of the oppressed peasants on the indigo plantation of Champaran in north Bihar. His arrival for investigation into their grievances roused new hopes in the peasants and they thronged to him to tell their woes.
On being served with a quit-order, Gandhi refused to comply with it out of a sense of public responsibility and expressed his determination to proceed with the inquiry.
At his trial for disobedience Gandhi said, "I have entered the country for rendering humanitarian and national service, in obedience to the higher law of conscience," and pleaded guilty.
The compulsory growing of indigo was abolished on the recommendation of the Inquiry Committee. The century-old stain of indigo was washed away, ... and the country had its first object lesson in individual civil disobedience.
11 In the middle of 1917, on the outbreak of the plague in Kochrab village, Gandhi shifted his ashram to the bank of the river Sabarmati.
Amidst the neem and the tamarind trees was situated Gandhi's bare hut "Hridaya Kunj" along with the simple dwellings of the inmates.
Life at the Ashram gave full play to the emotion and intellect of the residents. There were gardens to till and cows to tend. Throbbing with an active spirit of sacrifice, everyone performed his obligatory task of weaving.
As evening fell, the inmates congregated to pay their respect to the different faiths of the world at the sanctuary. The four directions were its walls and the canopy of the sky its dome. The sermons of Gandhi and the hymns of the Gita created a spirit of peace and love.
In this community where work was prayer and prayer love, Gandhi's personality was fully reflected.
12 In 1918, unrest prevailed among the textile-workers of Ahmedabad who were under-paid and overworked. Gandhi espoused their cause, conducted a peaceful strike and exhorted the workers to abide by their pledge never to resort to violence. The strike situation began to grow critical.... Twenty days passed by; hunger had its effect on the strikers and they began flagging.... Gandhi spontaneously announced, "I will not touch any food". Three days after the fast commenced, the millowners accepted arbitration and without any ill-will, the righteous struggle achieved its end.
13 Gandhi expressed his views with fervour advocating swadeshi in language, dress and thinking. The inhuman destruction of the ancient art of hand-spinning was corroding his heart.
The discovery of the spinning-wheel consigned to the lofts as useless lumber in a remote village gave him new hope for as the loss of the spinning-wheel had brought about India's slavery, its revival meant India's freedom.
14 Gandhi arrived in Bombay for medical treatment as hard work coupled with uncooked food had ruined his health. His refusal to take medicine and the vow not to take milk came in the way of his recovery. He yielded to Kasturbai's suggestion that he should take goats' milk.
During the convalescent period at Mani Bhavan, he learnt and practiced spinning and the wheel hummed merrily in his room spinning peace, goodwill and love in every revolution.
Sequences 1 On his sick-bed, Gandhi was roused by the publication of the notorious Rowlatt Bills in February, 1919 which sought to crush the civic rights of Indians and to gag the voice of revolt ... A wave of anger greeted the Bills all over India.
Describing them as aggravated symptoms of a deepseated disease in the ruling class, Gandhi informed the Viceroy about his desire to offer civil disobedience in protest.
In spite of the united opposition of all elected Indian members, on March 18, the black Bills were pushed through and became law.
2 At Gandhi's call, the country observed April 6 as a day of humiliation and prayer. Vast multitudes united into common action solemnly affirmed their resolve to disobey the bill and refrain from violence to life, person or property.
True to the pledge, prohibited literature consistent with Satyagraha was selected.
Gandhi went round the city to sell the prohibited literature and the movement was inaugurated.
At a Satyagraha demonstration, Gandhi emphasized the importance of sacrifice for the eternal ideals of justice and liberty, for no nation had ever risen without being purified through the fire of suffering.
3 To defy the Indian Press Act, Gandhi published the weekly "Satyagrahi" in which he expressed his opinions unhampered by any other consideration than that of his own conscience.
4 The country was astir. There was an orgy of arrests and convictions.
5 On Sunday April 13, Brigadier General Dyer marched with his armed force through the tortuous, torried streets and mazy lanes of Amritsar. He entered Jallianwala Bagh in the heart of the city by the narrow entrance with a firm determination "to do all men to death".
6 Debouching from the passage, he ordered the troops to fire upon the seething mass of humanity gathered for a peaceful meeting. The bagh suddenly resounded with bullet-fire, carrying death and destruction among the unarmed, unwarned people. The firing continued till the ammunition was exhausted killing 375 and injuring over a thousand helpless men and women.
7 And when all was over, heaps of wounded lay near this wall. The massacre and the terrible indignity of the martial law inflicting the humiliating punishment of making people crawl on their bellies and the public flogging of innocent victims shocked Gandhi.
8 When the terror-stricken people indulged in violence it suddenly dawned on him that it was a "Himalayan miscalculation" on his part to have called upon his countrymen to launch the civil disobedience movement prematurely and he suspended the Satyagraha on April 18.
9 The weeklies Navajivan and Young India were launched by Gandhi to expound the meaning of Satyagraha and swadeshi. They soon reached the farthest corners of India and put heart into the people.
10 The Amritsar Congress, held in December, 1919 under the presidentship of Motilal Nehru, adopted Gandhi's gospel of 'Swaraj through Swadeshi' and his plea for the revival of the age old cottage industries as India's prosperity was founded on the plough and the spinning-wheel.
11 The slogan "Mahatma Gandhi Ki Jai" began to dominate the Indian political horizon and the national movement took a new shape and developed a new orientation.
12 "The spinning wheel", Gandhi said, "is a national necessity. Not on the clatter of arms but on the reintroduction of the spinning wheel depends the economic and moral regeneration of India ... Slowly, the music of one of the most ancient of India's machines once more permeated society.
13 In April 1920, when Poet Tagore visited Ahmedabad to attend the Gujarati Literary Conference, Gandhi greeted him with deference and affection and appealed to the people to donate generously for the poet's Vishva-Bharti.
14 Gandhi identified himself with the Muslims when they launched the Khilafat agitation against the unjust peace-terms imposed on Turkey by Britain.
The Khilafat movement adopted Gandhi's doctrine of non-violent non-co-operation as an infallible remedy.
15 In pursuance of the resolve, Gandhi reiterated that non-co-operation would be inaugurated on the first of August.
16 At 12:40 in the night that very day, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak-Gandhi's strongest bulwark passed away.
17 Lamenting his death. Gandhi observed, "A giant among men has fallen ... He will go down to the generations yet unborn as the maker of modern India ..."
"No man had preached the gospel of Swaraj with the consistency and insistence of the Lokmanya."
18 On the appointed day, Gandhi gave the signal for the non-co-operation campaign by returning the Kaisar-i-Hind gold medal and the decorations received in South Africa to the Viceroy, for he could retain neither respect nor affection for the Government which was moving from wrong to wrong to defend its immorality.
19 India responded to Gandhi's call. People straightened their backs and raised their heads.
Schools and colleges were emptied and the courts abandoned.
20 Persuading the people to adopt India's real weapon of love and truth to fight the Government, Gandhi condemned the doctrine of the sword. "I want India to practice non-violence of the strong-her title of nobility...
If she takes up the doctrine of the sword, she may gain momentary victory but she will cease to be the pride of my heart."
21 With a view to lay the ground work of truly Indian education, Gandhi founded the Gujarat Vidyapeeth at Ahmedabad.
Its object was to preserve the languages of India and to use them as sources of national regeneration.
Manual work which formed a part of the curriculum fostered a spirit of self-help and independence among the students.
Gandhi looked upon the institution as a place where the sacred fire of India was to be consecrated in order, afterwards, to radiate throughout the world.
22 Swaraj was very much in the air and in people's thought when in December 1920, the Nagpur session of the Congress unanimously approved Gandhi's resolution on the attainment of Swaraj by legitimate and peaceful means within one year and the constitution as revised by him turning the Congress into a mass organisation.
Thus began the Gandhi era in Congress politics.
23 While touring the country incessantly and tirelessly, Gandhi did not lose sight of India's gravest problem - poverty. "India as a nation" he observed "can live and die only for the spinning wheel ... The womanhood and the masses of India have been awakened as never before at the call of the wheel. Its restoration alone will feed the millions of hungry mouths... The wasted hours of the nation should be utilised in converting cotton into cloth in our cottages".
24 And at Gandhi's suggestion, the spinning wheel found a place in the Swaraj-flag with a white, green and red background symbolising peace, purity and the unity of all faiths in India.
Thus was born a flag for the non-violent revolt in 1921 representing an ideal to live for and die for.


Velupillai's point is that while there are theorems that show that an equilibrium exists for DSGE models, it is impossible to find it, in particular computationally as computers work on a finite number of points. In his words. it follows that formulating optimal decision problems as dynamic programming problems is impossible. This comes about because DSGE rely in their proofs on various theorems, some of which make assumptions leading to non-computability or non-constructivity. The only way out it to assume that the computer is solving a model economy where agents themselves are computers.

If it is impossible to find these DSGE equilibria, then what have all the papers featured here found? Or is the point that it is impossible to find the exact solution to those models?
You ask an important question and also provide an interesting conjecture as a possible answer. A full and satisfactory answer to your intriguing query will require too much space and unnecessary technicalities for this medium of communication.
Let me suggest an answer, albeit indirectly.
I was motivated to ask the questions posed in 'DSGE and Beyond' more than a quarter of a century ago, when reading Scarf's classic of 1973, THE COMPUTATION OF ECONOMIC EQUILIBRIA.I think a concise answer to your query can be found in the paragraph immediately below Theorem 2.6.1, on p.52 of this classic book.
Juxtapose the observation in this paragraph with the content of the first full paragraph, on p.17 of the book edited by Arrow, Scarf and Karlin: STUDIES IN THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF INVENTORY AND PRODUCTION (chapter 2).
One minor caveat, though. Scarf's statement that 'The passage to the limit is the nonconstructive aspect of Brouwer's theorem …', is an uncharacteristic slip in the otherwise impeccable work by Scarf. I have pinpointed the various 'nonconstructive' aspects of Brouwer's theorem' in a series of papers in the past decade – and more.
Finally, from another – more economically intuitive – point of view, your question is a reflection of the famous 'dispute' between Jacob Viner and his uncompromising, distinguished, 'draftsman', Dr Y.K. Wong! See p.34 of Sauelson's 'FOUNDATIONS' (or the original Viner article in the ZEITSCHRIFT …, of 1932).
In a sense all of this goes back to the ancient problems of trying to construct, with specified means, solutions for well specified problems (Turing comes down in a list that does not even begin with Gauss, Galois and Abel…)!!
So is it a), b) or c)?
If someone suggested to you that it is 'impossible to double the cube', it would be natural for you to wonder (perhaps aloud): 'Impossible to do so with what?' The answer, most likely, would be: 'With straight edge and compass'.
Similarly, if I told you the answer to your query (in its telegraphic form) is (b), then I suppose I expect you to wonder: 'Find with what or how'?
My answer should (or would) have to be: 'Using constructive mathematics or computability theory' – but only for starters.
This is why: ….. Delian's Problem, ….. Gauss, Abel,…., Turing, …. CGE, …., DSGE,…!
It would, in any case, be useful if you had 'looked at' – at least – the illuminating Scarf reference in the second paragraph of my previous 'reply'.
In applying the algorithm it is, in general, impossible to select an ever finer sequence of grids and a convergent sequence of subsimplices. An algorithm for a digital computer must be basically finite and cannot involve an infinite sequence of successive refinements. Moreover, and this is an important point, there is no theoretical argument that prevents these subsimplices from being located at quite different regions of S as the grid is refined. The passage to the limit is the nonconstructive aspect of Brouwer's theorem, and we have no assurance that the subsimplex determined by a fine grid of vectors on S contains or is even close to a true fixed point of the mapping.
Thank you very much for making these remarks by Scarf available to a broad and serious audience.
However, even the Gods, sometimes, 'nod'!
It is not 'the passage to the limit that is the nonconstructive aspect of Brouwer's theorem' – but a particular kind of 'passage to the limit' associated with the use of the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem.
Moreover, it is not ONLY the 'passage to the limit', but also the use of the tertium non datur (the law of the excluded middle) at various steps of the proof of the theorem that makes the theorem nonconstructive.
Forty – or so – years after he first proved the fix-point theorem nonconstructively, Brouwer gave an impeccable intuitionistic (constructive) proof of his celebrated theorem.
This paper, and other papers, on some of the other mathematical infelicities of CGE claims on the constructivity of Scarf's algorithm (and other so-called constructive and computable algorithms) are available in the forthcoming Elgar Companion to Computable Economics (edited by Velupillai, Zambelli & Kinsella).
In passing I may wonder, I think, what meaning (mathematical, computable or economic) could be attached to a 'true fixed point' which is provably nonconstructive and uncomputable?
I did try to leave a response to your kind and informative posting of the relevant paragraphs from Scarf's book. Somehow, it does not seem to have succeeded in getting 'posted'.
First of all, thank you for making available these important paragraphs from Scarf's book.
Secondly, it may be apposite to point out that even the Gods, sometimes, 'nod'!
It is not 'the passage to the limit' that 'is the nonconstructive aspect of Brouwer's theorem' – but a particular kind of 'passage to the limit': that which is associated with the invoking of the Bolzano-Weierstrass Theorem.
Moreover, it is not ONLY 'the passage to the limit' that 'is the nonconstructive aspect of Brouwer's theorem'. The appeal to various nonconstructive logical laws – such as the 'tertium non datur (law of the excluded middle) – are also responsible for the 'nonconstructive aspects of Brwouer's theorem'.
Finally, I suppose it is reasonable to wonder what meaning – mathematical, computable or economic – could be attached to the notion of a 'true fixed point', which is provable nonconstructive and uncomputable?
This is an utterly pointless paper, followed by a pointless and incoherent discussion by the author.

Adult nutrient intake as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease.
Int J Epidemiol 1999; 28(6):1102-9IJ
This population-based case-control study evaluated nutrient intake as a risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) among people aged > or =50 years in metropolitan Detroit.
Cases (n = 126) were diagnosed between 1991 and 1995 and neurologist-confirmed. Controls (n = 432) were frequency-matched for sex, age (+/-5 years) and race. Using a standardized food frequency questionnaire, subjects reported the foods they ate within the past year.
Estimating the association between PD and risk of being in the highest versus the lowest intake quartile, there were elevated odds ratios for total fat (OR 1.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] : 1.05-3.58), cholesterol (OR 2.11, 95% CI: 1.14-3.90), lutein (OR 2.52, 95% CI: 1.32-4.84) and iron (OR 1.88, 95% CI: 1.05-3.38).
These results suggest an association of PD with high intake of total fat, saturated fats, cholesterol, lutein and iron.

Q: Difference between MyClass.class and Class.forName("className") We can get class Class object by 3 methods:

*

*MyClass.class

*obj.getClass

*Class.forName("className")

I don't understood the difference between: MyClass.class and Class.forName("className").
Because both will need Class Name.

A:
I don't understood the difference between: MyClass.class and Class.forName("className").
Because both will need Class Name.

The big difference is when they need it. Since Class.forName accepts a string, the class name can be determined at runtime. Whereas of course, MyClass.class is determined at compile-time. This makes Class.forName useful for dynamically loading classes based on configuration (for instance, loading database drivers depending on the settings of a config file).
Rounding things out: obj.getClass() is useful because you may not know the actual class of an object — for instance, in a method where you accept an argument using an interface, rather than class, such as in foo(Map m). You don't know the class of m, just that it's something that implements Map. (And 99% of the time, you shouldn't care what its class is, but that 1% crops up occasionally.)

A: Class.forName("className");

It dynamically load the class based on fully qualified class name string.
obj.getClass

Returns the java.lang.Class object that represents the runtime class of the object.
MyClass.class:

A class literal is an expression consisting of the name of a class, interface, array,
or primitive type, or the pseudo-type void, followed by a'.' and the token class.
The type of C.class, where C is the name of a class, interface, or array type is Class<C>.
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/jls7.pdf

A: One important difference is:
A.class will perform loading and linking of class A.
Class.forName("A") will perform loading, linking and initialization of class A.

A: Class.forName("className");

forName is a static method of class "Class".
we require to provide  the fully qualified name of the desired class.
this can be used when name of class will come to known at runtime.
ClassName.class;

.class is not a method it is a keyword and can be used with primitive type like int.
when Name of Class is known in advance & it is added to project, that time we use ClassName.class

Business Council of Australia Calls To End Solar Subsidy
Published by S. McNair at April 22, 2019
Image: Wikimedia
T hey're at it again. If you are sitting on the fence about installing solar, then now might be a good time to get off. As many know having solar ourselves, through friends and the sheer number of panels going on roofs, it works.
The benefits of installing solar PV for the average Queensland household is now beyond dispute. Most that spend the time to see what life would be like with panels on the roof are well rewarded. The cost to install solar PV has dropped over the last few years so it is affordable. There might be exceptions to this but not so many. However, solar PV has become viable, not just through market forces. There is the "Solar Subsidy" provided through the mechanisms of the Federal government that plays a big hand. But they won't call it a 'rebate" though. This in effect is the Federal Government's "Clayton's Rebate". It would not exist without its support.
And yes, there are calls once again to remove this "Solar Subsidy" that has helped many Aussies to go green. With an election looming, the Business Council of Australia (BCoA), has chimed in where the ACCC left off last year. They have called for it to be removed, despite the obvious benefits it has given, and still can give.
They claim that by taking away assistance that this will somehow result in "lowering energy prices and tackling emissions".
Their "To Do" list to a "Deliver reliable, affordable and secure energy" is part of their "Plan for a stronger Australia". It cites below:
"Scrap unnecessary subsidies for taxpayer-funded green schemes. The cost of installing solar panels, for example, has dramatically decreased since subsidies were introduced. This could shave $30 a year off bills in some states." The ACCC says this could be a staggering $36 by next year. Wow, that's big stuff worth having just by meddling with the Solar Industry, yet again.
What is missing here, is any reference to the value given across the wider community by this scheme. It has not been discounted, it is simply not mentioned, at all. There are thousands of jobs and much lower power prices that can be linked back to having this scheme. Less fossil fuels are being burnt, and as a result there are health and environmental benefits from that too.
In essence the subsidy is winding down each year, but it gives hope to struggling families to save money. It's understood that there are many people renting properties, that have no chance to get these savings. However, the more homes that get solar, in turn, more rental homes will end up on solar too. By 'fiddling' with the Solar Industry, we may see a flight of capital and expertise as it becomes less viable. This in itself is worth avoiding, as it can quite end up being a false economy.
Both parties, Labor and the Coalition have said they do not intend to cancel the scheme before time. Yes, we have heard that before too, but it appears the BCoA has other ideas that might influence the politicians. As it appears that the BCoA feels we should be shoring up our energy sources in gas.
From the report: "Bans on exploring and developing gas supplies have reduced the available supply of energy. Gas is more efficient and produces less emissions, and is a transition fuel to lower carbon use."
Further, it suggests to "Streamline approval processes, remove green tape and stop continuous appeals from third-party activist groups delaying access to much-needed fuel supplies."
So, subsidised, but beneficial roof top solar is not on their agenda by the look of it. Hopefully, the politicians will stick to their assurance not to make any changes.
The Business Council of Australia is the peak body some of the biggest companies in Australia. Some of its members are Woodside, Energy Australia, Chevron, Shell and AGL. Down load the BCoA report HERE.

Vivian Bang talks White Rabbit, Asian-American Representation
Vivian Bang appears in White Rabbit by Daryl Wein, an official selection of the NEXT program at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Courtesy of Sundance Institute. Photo by Daryl Wein.
Written by:Danielle SolzmanPosted on: March 6, 2018 March 8, 2018
Performance artist Vivian Bang spoke with Solzy at the Movies over the weekend about White Rabbit, Sundance, and Asian-American representation in film.
Thanks for joining Solzy at the Movies today. How are things treating you?
Vivian Bang: You know it's funny, after Sundance, anyone from the industry who saw White Rabbit keeps telling me that it's a game changer for me, and although that's very sweet, I think I already shifted my career when I gave myself permission to create stories that were my truths. I didn't wait for someone else to give me this opportunity, I just made an art piece that I needed to tell and met a collaborator who really got it and together we made this film. And now after Sundance, I revert back to expecting some phone call where I'm being given opportunities and I think that causes a bit of heartbreak. Because things are changing—CHANGE is here but it's still slow.
I had the opportunity to see White Rabbit during Sundance. While I found the film to be unique, what I truly loved about it was it offered the opportunity for an Asian-American to take on a leading role. Being a transgender woman myself, I know how hard it can be to see myself represented in leading roles. As far as yourself, has it been hard to find opportunities in leading roles?
Vivian Bang: Hard would be an understatement. I came to Los Angeles after years of performing in downtown experimental theater as a performance artist, (BIG ART GROUP) collaborating to shows that delves deeply with our world. I moved to Los Angeles super naive, thinking that I could easily meet with like-minded commercial filmmakers and TV producers. Everyone told me I'd have to start all over and it's a different landscape but I was cocky and didn't listen. I arrived already having great representation with well respected agents and managers. Even though I had so much great feedback and so close to many projects, I didn't book anything for a long time that really showed my story telling skills. Then somehow, without knowing you get placed in a box. If I made money in a sit-com, they categorize you as a sit-com person. Or a comedic actress. But more than this yes… it's hard to escape being boxed as "the other" and to convince people who can hire you to think of you as a leading star instead of a token minority. I've been lucky enough to be invited sort of to the table. I've been making a living as a working actor in Hollywood for over a decade. I've played the Chinese takeout lady, the Vietnamese nail salon owner, Korean store lady. I remember even my most progressive friends telling me "You're soooo talented, I totally see you as the best friend." Why the best friend? Why not the lead?
I wasn't going to be given some role that would show people that I am a human being like you and can be the hero of my own story. We are fighting absence in Hollywood. If we are not represented, Asian Americans become dehumanized and continue to be placed in this "other" category. So I really had to create my own story because it occurred to me that maybe those in charge don't know my story. Ha.
Does financing seem to be a major issue when it comes to minorities starring in a leading role?
Vivian Bang: You really understand who people are by seeing what they spend their money on. When you ask them to give you money, that's when you find out what they care about. So when studios and other productions are not giving money to make a film about an Asian American Female, you know that where they stand.
YES! It's sooooo hard to convince someone to let you tell a story about an Asian American Female. Almost impossible. Who would play her? Who could carry a film? In our case, we funded this ourselves. We just believed in what we were doing but as filmmakers know, you get to a point where you are making it yourself—a lot of it but then hit a point where you need more money. Lots more. Luckily we had something to show so we secured a private funder who really believed in our project after seeing what we made so far. But even after we make the film, it's a hurdle to get it to the audience.
Financing is hard for everyone. We live in capitalism. But just like we think we are free consumers and we have some choice in what we buy, it's not always true. If it's not available at your store, you can't purchase it. Or if it doesn't pop up in your feed, you'd never know it even existed to buy it. Same in Indie films… so many great films out there…and nobody knows it exists. Getting your film is hard but getting it to people is hard too. All of it is hard.
But that's why we have to support films like White Rabbit. Things are changing though because I think we are calling out studios and the Oscars for this absence. We are shaming them to do the right thing and be more proactive in making content and stories that are more inclusive. So right now is a very exciting time, if you have good projects in mind.
Was this your first Sundance? If so, what did you enjoy about the experience and what advice would you offer to the first-time attendee in future years that are coming to represent a film?
Vivian Bang: This was my first Sundance. So funny I was so sick before Sundance, I had this crazy flu that everyone got last winter, and I arrived to Park City without a voice. And I still wanted to let people know about our film, so I wore a White Rabbit costume my neighbor Dee hand-sewed and walked around Park City. It was a great way to connect to people. It's incredible to be surrounded with some of the most creative talents making fun stories and this year it was one of the most Inclusive selections and outside thinkers I've met. I wore this Rabbit suit around town, and took the shuttle to a friend's screening. I had to change in the bus and there was a group of French filmmakers who really got a kick out of my transformation.
When you have a film at Sundance, you rarely have time to check out other's films. I made a whole list of films I wanted to see but quickly realized I would have no time, since I'm meeting with journalists, doing panels, and radio shows to promote White Rabbit. It was super sad, but I did get to meet some amazing artists doing panels and parties simply because I was curious to know what they were doing. I connected with so many great producers and directors and these are the people I will be working on my next project with. So it's just magic when you bring together a group of curious minds. I heard once, "How do you solve world problems"…"You just have to bring together great minds from all different disciplines and have a potluck."
Daryl Wein directed the film after co-writing the script with you. How did this whole process come together?
Vivian Bang: So the story is that I actually tried to get a quilt-like film made years ago with 10 female directors and when I couldn't secure funding to make that project, I was so depressed and dormant. And it was harder to get back up and try again. But after the election, I got so angry and had so much to say about the divisiveness of our country, I made a performance piece at REDCAT theater called "CAN YOU HEAR ME/LA 92" taking on the persona of a WHITE SHAMAN/clown/a truth sayer who decolonized the LA riots from a total KOREAN AMERICAN perspective, since that has not really been investigated. In the audience was Daryl Wein, a filmmaker, who truly HEARD ME. He asked if I would collaborate on a film with him and document part of this piece. And although it became a life of it's own, and more a personal journey of an artist living in LA, it does capture some of my performances and some of the questions I had about race, identity, the economy, social representation, etc.
White Rabbit is playing Outfest next. What's next for the film's future?

The Catholic Post interviews silver jubilarian Fr. Eugene Radosevich
By: The Catholic Post - May 21, 2015 - News Article
Born in Peoria, Father Radosevich attended St. Bernard School and Academy of Our Lady/Spalding Institute. He earned a bachelor's of science degree from Bradley University and a master's of computer science degree from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and studied for the priesthood at Saint Mary's College of Winona, Minnesota, and Mount St. Mary Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, where he earned a master's of divinity degree.
Following ordination, Father Radosevich served as parochial vicar at St. Paul, Danville. He was named pastor at St. Patrick, Camp Grove, with duties at the diocesan Marriage Tribunal in 1992; St. Patrick, Havana, and Immaculate Conception, Manito, in 1995; St. John the Apostle, Woodhull, and St. John the Evangelist, Galva, in 2000, adding St. John Vianney, Cambridge, in 2003; St. Stephen, Streator, and St. Patrick, Ransom, in 2005; and St. Mary, Downs, in 2007.
He has been pastor of St. Luke, Eureka, and director and chaplain of the Salve Regina Newman Center at Eureka College since 2008, and has served as assistant director of the diocesan Office of Evangelization.
Father Radosevich will celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving at 9 a.m. on Sunday, June 7, at St. Luke Church. A reception will follow and the public is welcome.
Mail may be sent to the Salve Regina Newman Center, 108 E. College Ave., Eureka, IL 61530.
What drew you to the priesthood?
The Holy Spirit drew me to the priesthood as a result of people praying for more vocations to the priesthood.
How did you know you were being called?
At first I didn't know that I was being called. I think that there was a similar question on one of the Diocesan Seminarian Registration Forms which asked "Why do you want to be a priest?" and my answer was something like "I'm not sure that I want to be a priest today, but I know that I have to try and live in the environment where I can seriously find out if being a priest is what God wants me to do." Spending one year earning a pre-theology degree and then four more years in a major seminary to earn a master's degree in theology gave me ample time to discern God's call. It took a good five years for me to discern the call to the priesthood.
Who has been the biggest influence on your vocation and why?
Certainly the Holy Spirit has been the biggest influence on my vocation, second only to the prayers that the people of God pray for seminarians and then for their priests.
How are you a different priest today than you were 25 years ago and why?
When I was younger, I was more concerned about that other people thought of me as a priest; now I hope that I am more concerned about what God thinks of me as a priest. When I was younger I was more focused on how to do ministry the "right way"; now I am more concerned about doing ministry in such a way as to never screw up what the Holy Spirit wants done! I've come to discern that the Holy Spirit's way is the right way!
What has given you the most joy in your priesthood?
Perhaps the greatest joy in priesthood is being able to reconcile a soul to Christ after they have been away from the sacraments for many years. Like helping them to finally get their marriage blessed in the Catholic Church or hearing someone's confession after they have been away from the sacraments, for say, 20 years or more, and then dispensing God's mercy to them with sacramental absolution and seeing them refreshed with God's Spirit once again.

The creators of You Are My I Love You pen an ode to students and their teachers, just in time for back to schoolNo one captures the essence of our most cherished relationships quite like Maryann Cusimano Love and Satomi Ichikawa Whether parent and child or grandparent and grandchild, Maryann s tender, playful text and Satomi s childlike, colorful illustrations are nothingThe creators of You Are My I Love You pen an ode to students and their teachers, just in time for back to schoolNo one captures the essence of our most cherished relationships quite like Maryann Cusimano Love and Satomi Ichikawa Whether parent and child or grandparent and grandchild, Maryann s tender, playful text and Satomi s childlike, colorful illustrations are nothing less than odes to these universal bonds.Now the two shine their spotlight on students and teachers, enriching each other through storytelling, art, music, and of course, guidance Perfect and reassuring for the youngest of students, You Are My Wonders is sure to be a hit at story time at home or in the classroom.
Two stars for the cute pictures. Zero for the icky-sweet prose. "I am the blackboard. You are my clean eraser"?Cringe.
What an absolutely lovely book! The relationship between a teacher and her students is so inspirational!A teacher shapes a child in so many ways but the child shapes the teacher too!Being a teacher for 28 years and now a full time nanny, this book brought tears to my eyes!
Pictures are really adorable!! The premise is nice but it is so sappy and sweet I think I got a cavity! The prose are sappy with a nice cadence until you add another syllable in "I am you duck, duck goose, you are my chase" When the rest of the rhymes are "I am your calm you are my thunder"
A completely charming book that would make an excellent read aloud in the first few days of school to reinforce the important role of the teacher and the role of the students. The book uses rhyme and comforting illustrations that will surely be a favorite read in your classroom.
Perfect new book for the first day of school!
Meh The illustrations are cute, but the story itself? I felt like 99% of it didn't even make sense. At all. Not a fan.
I loved this book for something to read to the students on the first day of school or even possibly the last day of school. It is about how important students and teachers are to each other.
perfect for all teachers, but especially the ones who don't have children of their own. It really describes the teacher and student relationship.
In the same pattern as her previous books, this time focusing on the preschool/kindergarten experience and the experience is captured very well. These titles always delightful.
I'm a sucker for teacher stories. (This also feels like a picture book version of Taylor Mali's poem "Miracle Workers").
I thought some of the lines were sweet. Some just didn't make sense. I think I'm stilling wondering about this one . . .
Adorable stuffed animals go to school in another "You Are My" story.


Intellis™ spinal cord stimulator provides first-of-its-kind insights that may help optimize patient care.
Dr. Chris Karas doesn't use the expression lightly.
He performs approximately 200 spinal cord stimulation implants every year at OhioHealth in Columbus, Ohio and considers the Intellis™ spinal cord stimulator a "game-changing" device. "Intellis™ is significantly different," he said.
One of the key reasons is data. Intellis™ contains embedded technology that records a patient's position and the amount of time that patient is active. It then utilizes proprietary reporting called Snapshot™ to display the objective data. Doctors can compare what the patients tell them about their pain levels with actual, measurable data about patient activity to see how well the device is working and whether to make therapy adjustments.
Medtronic designed Intellis™ with "value in healthcare" in mind.
Snapshot™ captures changes in activity level, so physicians can work with patients, set goals, and use actionable data to track how patients are progressing. It provides documented evidence showing the value of these therapies.
Intellis™ is significantly smaller than previous spinal cord stimulators and includes technology that allows the batteries to recharge much faster (testing showed a battery held 95 percent of its capacity at 9 years). Additionally, it contains sensors, which detect a person's position. The device can modify the amount of stimulation patients receive, depending on the pain they're experiencing in different positions.
Sixty-year-old Navy veteran Edwin "Skip" Parks appreciates all those capabilities. A series of back operations left him in often unbearable pain. "My pain has gone from a 10-plus to a 6, which for me, is huge. I can live with a 6. It's given me the ability to be me again. I can function on a daily basis," he said.
"That outcome — returning patients to more normal lives — is the goal," says Dr. Karas.
...with spinal cord stimulation, we're seeing amazing outcomes. We're seeing them quickly. And we're seeing improvements in patients' lives, not just managing their decline. That is very rewarding.


And continuing the game of musical chairs going around the games industry this month, Grasshopper Manufacture has just been purchased by Japanese publisher GungHo Online Entertainment. Founded in 1998 by CEO Goichi Suda (Suda 51), Grasshopper is home of creative titles including killer7, No More Heroes and the recent Lollipop Chainsaw.
GungHo is best known as the Japanese publisher of Ragnarok Online and iOS release Puzzle & Dragons. The American arm of the company publishes and distsributes "network-oriented games" across handheld, mobile, console and tablets, as well as MMO-style PC releases.
Grasshopper is the fourth large studio to step under the GungHo umbrella, alongside Ragnarok developer Gravity, Tenchu developer Acquire and Lunar creator Game Arts.
We believe the strength of a publisher lies in its creative talent so with the addition of GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE and SUDA51 we are adding some of the most innovative talent in today's gaming world to our stellar family of independently-operated studios. SUDA51 projects are known to put a unique spin on every game so coupled with our proven ability to support development with AAA resources including a tailored online experience, we believe gamers will benefit from this collaboration.
Games and projects that are currently in the works at Grasshopper are safe, with GungHo reassuring fans that they "will not be affected by the deal" and will continue under any current publishing terms.
By joining GungHo Online Entertainment, we are aligning ourselves with a strong, established publishing force that will support our vision to further create inspired new games that appeal players across the world. The GRASSHOPPER team and I have many new ideas to share with our fans as we move forward so this union with GOE will help us realize our future plans.
While we do know that Grasshopper is currently hard at work on Killer is Dead, we're also told to keep an eye out over the next few months, there are still more new projects on the way from Suda 51 and his team.

Computational Approaches for Monitoring of Health Parameters and Their Evaluation for Application in Clinical Setting.
The algorithms and mathematical methods developed in this work focus on using computational approaches for low cost solution of health care problems for better patient outcome. Furthermore, evaluation of those approaches for clinical application considering the risk and benefit in a clinical setting is studied. Those risks and benefits are discussed in terms of sensitivity, specificity and area under the receiver operating characteristics curve. With a rising cost of health care and increasing number of aging population, there is a need for innovative and low cost solutions for health care problems. In this work, algorithms, mathematical techniques for the solutions of the problems related to physiological parameter monitoring have been explored and their evaluation approaches for application in a clinical setting have been studied. The physiological parameters include affective state, pain level, heart rate, oxygen saturation, hemoglobin level and blood pressure. For the mathematical basis development for different data intensive problems, eigenvalue based methods along with others have been used in designing innovative solutions for health care problems, developing new algorithms for smart monitoring of patients; from home monitoring to combat casualty situations. Eigenvalue based methods already have wide applications in many areas such as analysis of stability in control systems, search algorithms (Google Page Rank), Eigenface methods for face recognition, principal component analysis for data compression and pattern recognition. Here, the research work in 1) multi-parameter monitoring of affective state, 2) creating a smart phone based pain detection tool from facial images, 3) early detection of hemorrhage from arterial blood pressure data, 4) noninvasive measurement of physiological signals including hemoglobin level and 5) evaluation of the results for clinical application are presented.

Marijuana firm MedMen, top execs face $20 million suit for allegedly breaching duties, enriching selves
Published January 10, 2019 | By Jeff Smith
(This story has been updated to correct the fact that Brent Cox is not a former board member of MedMen Enterprises. He is a former board member of MMMG, a MedMen entity.)
Cannabis industry retail giant MedMen Enterprises and its top executives face a $19.8 million lawsuit by an early investor group who charge that senior execs enriched themselves at the expense of shareholders and breached their fiduciary duties.
A spokesman for California-based MedMen called the allegations contained in the suit "frivolous."
The lawsuit could be a precursor of things to come in the emerging legal cannabis industry as more companies go public and become subject to greater disclosure requirements about their business dealings and the impact on shareholders.
The suit, filed Jan. 8 in California Superior Court in Los Angeles County, in part alleges that MedMen CEO Adam Bierman and President Andrew Modlin paid themselves millions of dollars through unlawful, "brazen self-dealing."
"Beneath the MedMen veneer is a complex web of interconnected subsidiary entities, virtually all of which are directly managed, directed, controlled and owned by Bierman and Modlin, and all of which always pursue the best interests of Bierman and Modlin, rather than the best interests of any stakeholder or entity," the suit charges.
The suit was filed by Inception Companies founders Brent Cox and Omar Mangalji through their investment entity MMMG-MC , which owns about 10% of a predecessor MedMen company.
The suit asks for $18 million in damages, plus another $1.8 million for Cox, who owned 1.3% of the same MedMen entity.
'Backed into a corner'
"We have a long history with MedMen – as one of the largest and original shareholders of the company," said Cox, who served on the board of the MedMen entity involved in the suit from March 2016 to March 2018. "Sadly, we are backed into a corner here and compelled to take action on behalf of all stakeholders of the company."
Daniel Yi, MedMen's senior vice president of corporate communications, in a statement called the claims "frivolous" and said the court on Wednesday denied the plaintiffs' request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.
"Mr. Mangalji and Mr. Cox have already received cash distributions representing a complete return of their capital plus a substantial gain … This is clearly and egregiously an attempt to devalue the shares of the enterprise for their own personal gain at the expense of all other stakeholders.
"MedMen remains focused on building one of the leading cannabis companies in the world, and we feel confident we will prevail on that mission and against this meritless complaint."
Proper disclosure considered key
California cannabis attorney Katy Young said the lawsuit "addresses a very significant issue for the still-nascent cannabis industry."
"The existing concerns about self-dealing that exist whenever a company has a multi-entity structure (as MedMen and many other MJ companies do) are exacerbated by going public," Young said.
There has to be proper disclosure, she added, and the decisions have to be reasonable and benefit shareholders.
MedMen went public in Canada in May 2018 through a reverse takeover.
Robert Mikos, a law professor and marijuana law expert at Vanderbilt University, noted that investor suits such as this are common in other industries.
"This lawsuit is probably just another sign that marijuana businesses are becoming more 'mainstream', which means they're facing all the usual legal battles that businesses in other industries face," Mikos said.
"It's possible the number of such suits will increase, as outside investing becomes more common. But there's no reason to suspect that such suits will become more prevalent in this industry than in others."
Here are key points from the complaint, which follows a potential class action suit filed against MedMen in December by former employees:
Cox alleged that an initial critical event leading to the current situation occurred on March 17, 2017, when he tried to exercise a contractual right to acquire additional MedMen equity at an "advantageous price." Bierman got angry, Cox claimed in the suit, and threatened to "do everything in his power" to make the MedMen entity that the plaintiffs had a stake in the least valuable part of the company.
And that's exactly what's happened since, the suit alleged. The plaintiffs claim they've been treated worse than other investors, both before MedMen went public and after. The suit alleges that Bierman and Modlin have locked up the plaintiffs' shares in MedMen until November 2019 while allowing other investors to partially cash out their investments. (MedMen said in its statement that some investor groups negotiated separate lockup periods – a common practice when companies go public – but added that two other funds now are under certain lockup provisions until November 2019.)
Bierman and Modlin paid themselves multimillion-dollar bonuses and salaries, the lawsuit alleges, while MedMen burned through cash and reported "breathtaking" losses that totaled $145 million over six months. For example, the suit claims that Bierman and Modlin inflated MedMen's enterprise value in the fall of 2018 in connection with equity financing deals and a $682 million acquisition of PharmaCann in order to trigger $4 million cash bonuses.
MedMen sought equity financing in September and October 2018, allegedly to address "acute liquidity challenges." That included selling 13.6 million shares to Eight Capital for 75 million Canadian dollars ($56.7 million) and agreeing to a loan of CA$99.9 million ($75 million) from Hankey Capital at a 7.5% annual interest rate.
MedMen is traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange as MMEN and on the U.S. over-the-counter market as MMNFF.

Kathy on January 10th, 2019 - 9:46pm
Are investors covered in this lawsuit? I own a lot of stock in Medmen and it has just plummeted.
David on January 11th, 2019 - 5:44am
No. Entirely unrelated.
Ryan Robinson on January 11th, 2019 - 8:19am
Well, it's clearly not ENTIRELY unrelated. The lawsuit is definitely a factor in the falling stock price, and it appears to be one of, if not THE most significant one.
Having said that, if this lawsuit is decided in favor of the plaintiffs, I would be pretty stunned if a class action lawsuit isn't filed on behalf of the smaller investors.
Bill on January 14th, 2019 - 10:45am
After seeing the CEO's and other principals compensation as the stock tanked I knew we were in for a rocky ride. I believe that a class action suit is the only recourse. Stockholders are left holding the bag from a once promising MJ investment.
Pat on January 20th, 2019 - 2:39pm
Medmen has NOTHING proprietary. They are warehouses full of products made elsewhere. Short term life in this biz. Neve4 buy a share of this company.
jeremy wilson on March 9th, 2019 - 9:50pm
Everyone just hold on to your panties a bit…….Its clearly in the norm for these kind of lawsuits to happen in a new emerging market. Especially in the pot sector, where there is still new laws an regulations coming out everyday. Due to … the probing for loopholes in the system, due to greed.Thus having to have a new law a regulation put in motion so this doesn't happen again in the future.This is actually the best time to load up on shares. For us SMART long term investors (5-10-15 year investors). For u short term daytrader type of people looking for big gains in a short time, i dont even know why you are here complaining. You should have read financials and presentation to see how they are expanding into new states building/renting new buildings, etc…… Instead of reading technical analysis and charts, you should have been doing value analysis. i.e. balance sheet,income statments,cashflow reports…..etc…. Come on people i cant be the only one teaching u somthing here. do your due diligence (your homework) …………….

Gap Year in Ghost Town Cover | Narrative Transport. The official Michael Pryor website.
Gap Year in Ghost Town (Allen & Unwin August 2017) has a cover! Authors, naturally, are always nervous about how their precious work is going to look, but the very clever Craig Phillips has come up with an absolute winner. I love its combination of spookiness and street smarts, and it captures the smart, creepy and funny tone of the book beautifully.

That's the headline at Spiegel. Perhaps it doesn't come across the same way in German, but it sure sounds over-the-top in English. There is what you hear from the (established) press, and there is what you hear elsewhere. What you hear from the press is true; what you hear elsewhere is lies.
We are living in times of growing tension and near societal hysteria in Germany in the wake of the massive influx of refugees. One of the first victims of this development has been the media's credibility. Restoring public trust will require considerable effort by journalists — but also on the part of their readers.
When they p*ss on your shoes and tell you it's rain, whose responsibility is it to change the perception? In the meantime, it might be best to no longer associate yourself with the one doing the p*ss*ng.
First, many, many people inform themselves thoroughly about the complicated world in which we live. These people tend not to be very outraged, which is also why their voices often go unheard amid the cacophony.

The internet has fundamentally changed the conversation for many. The narrative is not so easily controlled. Certainly not every alternative narrative is accurate; however, many alternative narratives throw a few more bits of doubt in the minds of readers.
I guess we should ignore a leading German journalist who says he was bribed by the CIA; Operation Mockingbird, which never happened and even if it did no one would do such a thing today; pro-war media pundits who are on the payroll of defense contractors and others who benefit from international conflict; the official 911 investigation team was fed lies.
