A new study sparks a war of words over the drug industry's commitment to research

A version of this story first appeared in D.C. Diagnosis, STAT's weekly newsletter about the politics and policy of health and medicine. Sign up here to receive it in your inbox.
WASHINGTON — A coalition of the drug industry's fiercest foes is accusing the world's top drug makers of hiding behind research and development "as an excuse for price-gouging American patients." And they're pointing to a new study that finds drug makers spent about 22% of their revenues on research and development in 2017 to prove their point.
The new study, first shared with STAT, was commissioned by the Campaign for Sustainable Rx Pricing, a coalition that includes pharmacy middlemen, hospitals, and insurers and that advocates for drug pricing reforms. It was based largely on analysis of 2017 Security and Exchange Commission filings for the 10 largest U.S.-based pharmaceutical companies that generate more than half their revenue from prescription drugs. And while the industry average was 22%, Celgene spent the largest percentage of its revenues on research (45.49%) and Gilead spent the lowest (14.3%).
To hear the coalition tell it, the study is proof that the pharmaceutical industry isn't spending nearly enough of its profits on new cures — despite companies' repeated insistence that that's exactly why they price their drugs so high. Jon Conradi, a spokesman for CSRxP, called that line the industry's "go-to defense."
"It is really important context that is often not part of the conversation to know not only exactly how much the industry does actually spend on R&D, but what that number looks like in the context of what they spend on everything else — things that have nothing to do with inventing or innovating new cures, or helping patients," he said.

The 22% figure, however, isn't that far off from what drug makers have said in the past: that the industry spends, on average, $1 out of every $5 of revenue on research and development.
"The 22 percent they are criticizing us for spending on R&D is absurd given our industry invests more in R&D as a percentage of sales than all other manufacturing industries," PhRMA spokeswoman Holly Campbell wrote to STAT in an emailed statement.
The two very different talking points — despite the largely very similar figures — highlight the deep discord over what drugs and drug development are worth, and who should bear those costs. Policymakers in Washington have increasingly spotlighted the issue as they work toward a bipartisan solution for lowering drug prices.
And while CSRxP takes issue with pharma spending roughly 22% of its revenues on R&D, it doesn't get much better than that: Multiple studies have shown that the drug industry outspends other similar R&D-heavy sectors, like tech. A 2015 study commissioned by PhRMA found that the drug industry spent more on R&D than any other high-tech industry. A recent study from the data analytics firm Craft also found that the health care industry invested more on R&D as a percentage of revenue than any other sector — much of which was driven by pharmaceutical companies.

CSRxP, which has slammed pharma companies in recent weeks for beating earnings forecasts, also found that drug makers banked roughly 18% of 2017 revenues as profits. Three drug makers, Biogen, Gilead and Pfizer, all banked more in profits in 2017 than they dedicated to R&D that year.
The coalition took a particularly hard shot at Pfizer, calling it the "worst offender," and pointing out it dedicated 14.6% of revenue to R&D that year versus the 40.6% of revenues it banked as profits that year.
A spokeswoman for Pfizer noted that the company's revenues that year were exceptionally high due to the revamping of the tax code. When adjusting for that windfall, Pfizer would have generated profits closer to 20 percent, the spokeswoman argued.
CSRxP's new study also includes never-before-seen estimates from the firm GlobalData on how much drug makers spend on sales and marketing — a hot topic as the Trump administration finalizes new requirements that drug makers disclose drug list prices in their TV ads.
GlobalData found that the 10 U.S.-based drug makers spent a total of $47.5 billion on selling and marketing in 2017. (This tally is largely unavailable in drug makers' SEC filings, which only include a tally of a drug makers' "selling, informational and administrative expenses," which typically includes a slew of other expenses beyond advertising and marketing.)
On average, drug makers spent 19% of revenues on marketing, advertising and promotion in 2017. AstraZeneca topped the list of the list of biggest spenders in this category, socking away 33% of revenues in advertising and marketing.
PhRMA's Campbell criticized CSRxP's advertising number as exaggerated. She pointed STAT to a recently study which found the drug industry spent $29.9 billon on marketing and promotion in 2016.

You may want to check your numbers, Nick.
A link to the cited report would be helpful. It is a common mistake in reports on such spending to count the entire SG&A line (which usually comes in ~ 33% of revenues and would be consistent with what is being reported here for AstraZeneca) as "marketing and advertising" when, in fact, marketing and advertising account for only a fraction of that entire line item. SG&A spending also includes things like salaries, utilities, and rental of facilities, all of which actually support R&D and should arguably be counted there – any idea how much electricity it takes to run a walk-in -20˚ freezers the size of an average apartment?
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/sga.asp
When handled properly, expenditures on R&D are actually more than what is reported in the R&D line of financial statements and spending on advertising and marketing, when extracted from the SG&A line, tends to be closer to 7%. For instance, check out page 20 of Pfizer's 2018 financial report where total revenues are reported as ~ $53 billion. R&D expenditures are reported as $8 billion (14.9% of revenues) and SG&A as $14.5 billion (26.9%). However, on page 84 it is reported that only $3.1 billion (5.8%) was spent on advertising.
Mary F says:
Drugs have limited profitability life-spans due to patents. Pharma companies simply must spend more on R&D than any other businesses. Everyone knows that outrageous drug pricing for R&D support is a very old, much-abused excuse for ridiculously rich executive pay and totempole waxing. Medications are not just any business, they are everyone's business. Therefore this industry needs to become much more regulated and transparent, with spending on overblown perks and advertising (eventually supporting more perks) curbed.
James Christenson says:
22% seems like quite a lot to me. When I was in Big Pharma, my company spent about 20%. Our CEO said it was too much and we should target 16%. I would also note that it is among the highest in any industry, comparable to computers and electronics, far more than chemicals or energy, for example.
drug czar says:
It should be considered also what actual Development stands for. I have kind of a feeling that a lot, if not most of it, has little to do with actually "developing" a drug.
And the Research part, the one that actually should account for the innovation claims, is an even a smaller fraction of the all R&D budget

Staying at Coffee Creek RV long-term and it is perfect.
The bathroom and shower facilities are the absolute best of any RV park where we've stayed.
Coffee Creek RV Park was opened in December of 2014. Since then we have had countless happy customers from RVers and campers traveling to Alaska or British Columbia to local workers. Our campground has services available such as: Wi-Fi, 50 AMP Full Service, Shower Facilities, Coin Laundry and Long Term Camping.


The last day of June marks the end of the financial year in Australia, and editors and clients are either putting a freeze on commissions or are hurriedly trying to spend their budget. I deliberately set my income target lower this month in an attempt to bring back some balance into my life, and for the most part, it worked. But happily, my invoice total for the month was the most it's ever been. And if you've been following my blog over the past few months, you'll be glad to know I got my cake!
Jun 27 What makes an editor say YES to a pitch?
There are lots of articles out there about how to pitch feature articles to magazine and newspaper editors, but recently I've been thinking about exactly what makes an editor say yes to a pitch. We all know that pitches usually need to include a timely, "newsy" angle or element, but recently I heard a podcast episode where an editor spoke about the two crucial elements in any publication. His advice made me sit up straight.
Olivia Gagan is the kind of writer that many people aspire to be - she's a full time freelancer living in London, having written for titles such as The Times, Psychologies and The New York Times. Olivia cut her teeth working as a journalist for trade media before making the decision to go full time as a freelancer. She transitioned to full time freelancing in such a smart way; by building up her savings, drawing on her existing networks, establishing boundaries and learning about running a business. I hope you enjoy the interview - there's absolute gold here.
We've all heard that content is king. Nearly every business has a website and in order to creep up the Google rankings content needs to be updated regularly. Blog posts are an ideal way of doing that and many companies are looking for freelance writers and copywriters to pen their posts and other content, such as newsletters or EDMs. So what do you need to put in a proposal to give yourself the best chance of landing a content writing gig?
I went into May after a busy April determined to take things easy - not send out too many pitches and dedicate some time to thinking about a creative project I could take on. The beauty of being a fairly established freelance writer is that work tends to flow in, but it's meant that I've found it hard to carve out non-work time. Despite this, I'm still feeling really positive about my writing and I've had an absolutely bumper month income-wise.
May 30 Should freelance writers share contact details?
One of the qualities that is crucial for freelancers to have is generosity. I really believe that the 'soft' attributes of openness, kindness and big-heartedness are just as important as technical skills for freelance writers. I'm part of writing groups and communities that are incredibly generous - especially with sharing contact details for editors. But recently I've started thinking about what happens when writers and journalists don't source their own contacts.
The freelance writer-editor relationship can be a tricky one to navigate. Many of the writers I coach often feel they are double guessing what an editor wants and are never really sure if they've hit the mark. Over the past six years I've found that editors of magazines, newspapers and digital outlets have three main questions they want freelance writers to be able to answer.
May 16 Interested in writing about social issues? Pitch to these publications.
There are numerous online magazines and publications looking for writers. But it can be hard to know where to pitch your ideas if you want to write about social justice, international development, human rights or humanitarian issues. There are numerous magazines and publications in this space who are looking for freelance writers - here are eight that are well worth considering.
You know that saying about how you make your own luck? Well, it turns out it's true. And it's not through vision boards or manifesting (although I do know people who swear by them), but by applying a few principles that have been scientifically proven. I know this all sounds a bit woo-woo, so let me explain how freelance writers can enhance their luck (and how it's worked for me).

I'm possessed by Joe Hill
8 November 2018 12 November 2018 fionacclLeave a comment
Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill has been republished in a 10th anniversary edition.
You'd expect someone who grew up inhaling Stephen King stories to emulate him. Millions of us grew up reading King and elements of his stories are part of the soundtracks of our lives.
The same can be said of Joe Hill, aka Joseph King (son of Stephen). While very much writing in his own voice, you can tell some of those stories have rubbed off on him, too.
The character of Craddock, the man haunting the Dead Man's Suit, reminds me of the terrifying Gypsy from Thinner, or the unearthly proprietor from Needful Things. Somehow Hill read my mind and his character fits my imagined embodiment of these two haunting characters.
Judas Coyne is the epitome of a gothic rock star. Some would think of Marilyn Manson, but I can see Alice Cooper in him. His journey along the 'night road' is one of self-realisation, his sexploitation of female fans redeemed by his love of dogs.
Hill shares his father's feel for music – slipping lyrics into the text of this story, just like in IT and The Body (filmed as Stand by me), as a couple of examples.
Vehicles are prominent in Hill's stories too – this one features a Mustang and a scary old pick-up with glaring headlights. Anyone remember Christine?
Hill's stories carry his own strong sense of humour, suspense and irony, while gripping you in the headlights of his very chilling tales.
"…acid. I had a good memory once. I was in the chess club at junior high."
"You were? That's a hell of a thought."
"What? The idea that I was in the chess club?"
"I guess. It seems so…geeky."
"Yeah. But I used severed fingers for pieces."
I read Heart Shaped Box in four days. That's the best praise I can ever give. Hill's writing style wasn't 'easy' – it was gripping and exciting. This book possessed me until I had found out what would happen to Judas Coyne and Georgia/Marybeth.
Let this story haunt you. And yes the title was influenced by Nirvana.
"Nirvana's 'Heart-Shaped Box' is, it seems to me, a song by a man who felt trapped by his own fame, increasingly frantic to escape the prison cell of being loved."
If you're a Twin Peaks fan, you'll pronounce this "fear man", lol.
The Fireman is a good example of Hill's versatility – it's very different from the ghost story above.
This is an apocalypse story, along the lines of The Stand. In this book the spore, 'dragonscale', is the main protagonist.
Dragonscale presents as a black tattoo with highlights of fire, the victim eventually combusting, taking all that surrounds with them.
Disease was a favourite theme of one of the masters of horror, Edgar Allen Poe.
I'm not sure which is more disturbing; the spontaneous combustion, or Hill's obsession with Mary Poppins. The character of Harper plays Mary to the Fireman's Dick Van Dyke.
The plot of The Fireman becomes a compelling race for survival: will Harper live to give birth to her baby? Will she be terminated by the Combustion Squads, bent on cleansing the population from the scourge? Or will her husband get to her first, to make her fulfill their suicide pact?
Hill is perhaps best known for his early graphic novels, the Locke and Key series.
Set in New England, these stories focus on the Locke family, who can open doors between worlds. Locke and Key are great stories, beautifully rendered by artist Gabriel Rodriguez.
I'm hooked. I'm going to read NOS4R2 next.
NOS-4R2
NOS-4R2, a clever title, crosses between worlds in a classic car (this time a Silver Wraith); it's driver, Charles Manx, a serial killer full of evil intent to abduct and corrupt children. One child, Victoria McQueen, survives, gaining supernormal powers from her encounter. Charles has never forgotten the one that got away…
It's such a relief to know that when Stephen King passes through the door to the next world, this one is in Joe Hills' hands.

Celebrate International Women's Day with Stephen King's Sleeping Beauties
7 March 2018 fionaccl1 Comment
Stephen and Owen King have gender issues.
Dooling is a place where people live on a knife edge; work hard, drink hard. Women around the world bear the brunt of this in their daily lives. Some have gone to prison for fighting back.
Tiffany lives in a trailer at the edge of a forest. She's regularly beaten by the man who has enslaved her to drugs.
Superhumanly beautiful, a naked woman comes down from the forest and changes everything.
All over the world women succumb to an enchantment. (Or sickness depending on which books you read.) Falling asleep, they form moth-like cocoons around themselves. The women are not dead, merely sleeping.
Where has their consciousness gone? Wake them and you'll find out – in a terrible bloody way. They turn into very angry zombies.
Lila is the local Police Chief. She loves her husband. Or does she? Suspicious of his love, resentful over the pool he made her agree to (first world problems, LOL), Lila has a choice to make.
Fighting the curse valiantly, (and not without the aid of some confiscated contraband), Lila eventually closes her eyes and crosses over… to the world beyond the huge tree in the forest; a world without men. The idea appeals to many – inmates like Jeannette, wives like Elaine.
Without their women, the men left behind get depressed, go nuts, drink and burn things. Some prepare for battle.
If Evie, the woman who began this series of events, is killed in the inevitable battle between good and evil, the women stay in the place beyond the Tree forever.
If she lives, they get to choose if they want to stay in what they have come to call "Our Place", or come back to the world of men. It's a difficult choice for some. (The honeymoon period only lasts about eight weeks according to S.K.)
There is a suggestion here that the characters are at war with Nature and God. Has Evie come from the Garden of Eden?
"Once I'm dead, the portal between this world and the land of sleep will close. Every woman will eventually nighty-night, every man will eventually die, and this tortured world will breathe an enormous sigh of lasting relief." Evie, p.362
The tree motif is a great link to the world of faerie. Trees have been doors to other worlds (than this) in many stories. The Kings enchant the normal world with 'fairy handkerchiefs' (spider webs in the grass), clouds of moths, a snake, and a tiger…
Always an advocate for women (see Big Driver) this latest offering is well written, topical (the senior King jokes about Trump), and thrilling without being too brutal.
Stephen and Owen have crafted a riveting read with the characterisation that fans love him for. He even throws in a book group or two.

The Dark Tower: A Constant Reader worries
16 May 2017 bronnypop1 Comment
Last week's release of the trailer for Stephen King's The Dark Tower movie just about broke the internet, with fevered and passionate discussion about just how right or wrong the director had got things. Widely recognised as the most important of King's works, The Dark Tower series is a ridiculously huge tale, with nearly 4300 words in eight novels, written over the course of 30 years. Simply put, it's the story of Roland, the last gunslinger, who is working his way to the Dark Tower to take down the Crimson King. He is pursued by the man in black.
As a longtime Constant Reader, I have spent much of my grown-up life reading and rereading Stephen King novels. My bookshelves are full of scary clowns, weird alien invasions, alcoholic hotel caretakers and needful things. I own all the books, have seen all the movies, and have definite thoughts on best and worst novels. I've downloaded the reading maps, sought out the editorials, and even fallen in love with the works of his son Joe.
Every reader who has a favourite author can feel nervous when books are turned into movies. And it must be said that King's movie adaptations can vary wildly in success, from the heady heights of The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me, through the disturbing Misery, to the adorable but kind of dorky 1408, and the downright embarrassing Langoliers.
So you will understand when I say that I am not alone right now in feeling VERY nervous about the upcoming release of two of King's most well-loved works. The trailer for It was released a few weeks ago, and in less than 3 minutes managed to scare the pants off most of the western world. I have yet to watch it without covering my eyes every few seconds. And the Dark Tower trailer is mesmerising for different reasons. How can one movie even begin to show us a world that is described not only in the eight Tower books, but also appears in countless other of his tales, from The Talisman, to Insomnia, to Black House, The Stand and The Shining and more.
There's totally no time to go back and reread the whole series before the movie is out, and King has already told us that this particular story is not one of the original ones from the novels, but another of Roland's journeys. So all I have to do now is sit, and wait, and like countless other Constant Readers, hope that this movie is at least good, and hopefully great, that Roland Deschain is a true gunslinger and that the man in black is every bit as dreadful and mesmerising as he is in the books.
And try to figure out if I will EVER be brave enough to watch IT.

Carey sure knows a lot about Golding
13 May 2010 14 May 2010 bronnypop6 Comments
William Golding's Lord of the Flies is one of those books that has always filled me with a deep disquiet. If I tell you I don't like it, you will assume I think it isn't any good. But that's not true – I think it's brilliant. It's just not very nice.
It is, however, pivotal in the work of many of today's most famous pop culture writers and creative artists: with everything from Stephen King, to Lost, to Terminator, Mad Max and Zombieland being descendents of Lord of the Flies, it can be argued that in some ways all modern post-apocalyptic writing and cinema has derived from Golding's dark view of humanity.
John Carey, author of the recently published William Golding: the man who wrote Lord of the Flies: a life, is an accomplished speaker, and despite the fact that he began quietly, in an auditorium overflowing with rambunctious teens, he had them mesmerised within minutes. Much of the information should be familiar to those who have even a passing acquaintance with the book and the author, but there were a few surprises even for Carey, he said, as he began to research using Golding's extensive collection of diaries and papers. Marion got to have a chat with him this afternoon, and no doubt she will shed much light on both Carey and Golding, but there were one or two things that stood out for me from this morning's session.
Firstly, that as a teacher, Golding would use what he described as a "measure of experimental science" in his teaching, in essence using the students as illustrations of his own theories about the nature of humanity and the darkness within. Carey described a particular incident where Golding packed up all the boys and carted them all out to a local landmark, and basically set them against each other in a war-strategy type of situation, only intervening eventually when it became clear that someone was going to be killed. He also apparently would frequently stir up his classes and deliberately antagonise them so as to observe their behaviour.
The other point I hadn't heard before was that Golding's final published work differs significantly from his initial submitted manuscript; this due to his fiercely agnostic editor, who insisted on removing all obvious traces of religious symbolism and deeper spiritual meaning. From being a quite clear tale of hope and spiritual strength in the face of adversity, it was transformed into a book whose message was that ignorance and terror invent religion, and that only bad can come of anything spiritual. Later in his life, Golding very much regretted 'giving in' to Monteith's demands, but Carey makes the argument that without this interference, Lord of the Flies would not have become the enduring piece of literary success that it is today.
A fascinating session, and I am very much looking forward both to reading Marion's interview, and to the Michael King Memorial Lecture on Sunday, which promises an adult slant on Golding's life and work.

The Program Support & Volunteer Services Department: is committed to providing programs and services of a recreational and therapeutic nature. Resident choice, interest, needs, strengths, and lifestyle history are major parts in program planning. The Department tries to involve and encourage family, friends and community in Resident programming.
Volunteers (link) are an essential part of the Homes, Heritage Place's and Manor's operations. Many Heritage Place Residents choose to stay involved by becoming volunteers.
Residents are involved in the planning and running of programs of interest; from exercise programs and games to outings on our para-transit bus or van. Program opportunities are designed to be of interest to all Residents. Residents are encouraged to participate at our monthly Program Committee meeting where ideas are shared to improve the monthly calendar and evaluate activity programs. Resident input helps our recreation staff to tailor programs and introduce new ideas for the benefit of all.
Activity Programs are offered to Residents by enthusiastic staff who offer large and small, and one-to-one programs, as well as community bus outings. A wide range of activation and entertainment programs are outlined in the monthly Activity Calendars.
Restorative care and physiotherapy services are also provided five days a week to assist Residents with necessary therapy and equipment requirements through government funded programs.

Over the course of the summer London College of Communication will have presented four graduate shows.
This, the third show, Accelerators, includes Surface Design, Interior Design, ABC Diploma in Graphic Design, and ABC Diploma in Spatial Design (Interior).
All are navigable through the totemic Elephant & Castle-based LCC building, via block letter graphics designed by Studio Myerscough, applied to floor and ceilings.
On this course Surface Design can mean the application of a design – graphic or otherwise – to anything from textiles to ceramics.
It might be surprising to see Wrap in the surface design exhibition. Started in October 2010 and featuring in Design Week in August of that year, it has been designed so that each double page spread can be read and then turned into wrapping paper. LCC student Louis Vincent has made the cover design for this, it's fourth issue.
Victoria Mae's illustrations have been applied to a ceramic tea set, and presented as a chess set on a square board. They take inspiration from her South African homeland, and in particular Durban's Indian influences, as well as English Roses.
The Design for Graphic Communications degree work comes in show four. Of the graphic design diploma work at this show, LCC saw projects by Rhiannon Flemming and Hogan Johnson as being noteworthy enough to leapfrog the BA Course. They've been fast tracked to masters courses. Here's an Arsenal inspired campaign piece by Flemming.
Over in interiors, Homestax by Adrian Allsopp stood out. Even if the execution was a bit off, it was well conceived. A modular home where each part of a house can be purchased years apart, so a home can grow with a family, before bits are siloed for rented self–contained flats and a 'granny annex,' to support changing needs.

Center for Global Change & Earth Observations College of Social Science
MSU researchers part of $15M NASA grant to help US farmers
November 30, 2022 - Emilie Lorditch
A team from Michigan State University will leverage Earth observation technology to support climate resilience in agriculture.
Farmers across the country are increasingly concerned about the impact of climate change on their farms and are looking for ways to prepare for the future.
Researchers at Michigan State University are part of a team of more than 30 researchers and stakeholders nationwide who will use a five-year, $15 million grant from NASA to strengthen U.S. agriculture as it faces climate threats.
"In the U.S., there are more than 20 million jobs related to farming," said David Roy, interim director of MSU's Center for Global Change and Earth Observations and a professor of geography in the College of Social Science. "This grant will empower sustainable, productive and resilient agricultural decision-making and policy."
Roy is joined by Lin Yan, an assistant professor with the CGCEO, representing MSU. The grant, known as NASA ACRES: A Climate Resilient Ecosystem Approach to Strengthening U.S. Agriculture, will begin in January 2023. The goal is to help farmers use NASA earth science data to make their farms more productive, adaptable and sustainable.
"This work fits very well with our mission to utilize the latest geospatial technologies to characterize ongoing changes in climate and land, understand the forces leading to these changes and their impacts, and help provide solutions to problems to improve human and societal well-being," said Roy.
Under a previous NASA-funded grant, Roy and Yan developed an automated computational method to extract the locations and boundaries of crop fields from satellite imagery, which will be useful to this project.
"People think it is pretty easy to identify crop fields from space, but it's not," Yan said. "We get around that by using images acquired over the year to take advantage of the temporal differences between fields and their surroundings, and using computer vision algorithms to recognize field shapes and delineate boundaries."
Top shows Landsat imagery of crop fields over a 150 x 110 km area in the northeastern Texas Panhandle; bottom shows the crop field extraction results (individual crop fields are colored). Credit: Lin Yan and David Roy.
This earlier work provided evidence that U.S. crop fields are increasing in size — an important factor in understanding changes in agrarian activity.
"We have always wanted to know how, where and why crop field sizes have changed," Roy said. "Twenty years ago, more farms were family owned and operated and now, they are more mechanized, and the farms tend to be larger."
For this new grant, Roy and Yan will refine their methodology to analyze about 20 years of Landsat data from 2008 onward for the contiguous U.S. to trace variations in agricultural capital investment, mechanization and labor intensity. The results will be used by consortium members to model the changing agricultural landscape and examine the relationship between crop field size and climate resilience.
"The hope is that in the future, this data can be used to help farmers improve the climate resilience of their farms," Yan said.

Yukihiro Awaji är trummis i L'Arc-en-Ciel och frontman i sitt eget band, Acid Android. Han har även spelat trummor i andra band, bland annat Die in Cries och Zi:Kill.

Han började i L'Arc-en-Ciel efter att den förre trummisen (Sakura) lämnat bandet 1997, men blev inte en officiell medlem förrän 1998. Yukihiro är känd för att remixa låtar, och har bland annat gjort L'Arc-en-Ciels remixalbum Ectomorphed Works, som släpptes 2000. Han har utöver det skrivit ett flertal av bandets låtar, som Trick, Get out from the Shell, Revelation och New World. Hans stil är lite annorlunda från de andra bandmedlemmarnas, då han fokuserar mycket på själva musiken - vissa låtar (till exempel Larva och L'Heure) är helt instrumentala.

Bakgrund
Yukihiro föddes 24 november 1968 i Chiba, nära Tokyo i Japan. Enligt han själv var hans uppväxt mycket lik andra japanska barns, men han hade ett ovanligt stort intresse för musik. Under högstadiet började han spela trummor, och bestämde sig genast för att det var det han ville hålla på med på heltid. Han ville hoppa av skolan men förbjöds av sina föräldrar, därför fortsatte han sin utbildning, även om det mesta av hans tid ägnades åt musiken.

Under universitetstiden började han i rockbandet Zi:Kill, vilket fick honom att lämna skolbänken för gott. Efter att Yoshiki uppmärksammat bandet fick de skivkontrakt hos hans skivbolag, Extasy Records, 1989. Under inspelningen av deras första skiva utomlands hamnade bandet i ett bråk, och kort därefter blev Yukihiro avskedad från bandet . Istället började han i visual kei-bandet Die in Cries 1991.

Die in Cries hade väldigt strikta regler som skulle följas med deras musik, vilket frustrerade Yukihiro en aning. De låtar som han skrev ansågs nämligen inte passa in i bandets stil. Bandet splittrades 1995 och därefter hoppade Yukihiro in i olika band och trummade där det behövdes.

Han började i L'Arc-en-Ciel 1997 och är sedan dess deras trummis.

The greatest WWE/WWF superstars of all time ranked
By Adam Stephens
Are you ready? Well it doesn't matter if you're ready or not.
The only thing that matters is finding out where the likes of The People's Champion The Rock ranks in the top 10 greatest WWE/WWF wrestlers of all time.
Bleacher Report determined the rankings by looking at these four categories: Entrance Music: How did the fans react when their entrance music played? Finishing Move: What was it like seeing their finishing move and how amazing was it? On the mic: How engaging were they when cutting promos and selling story lines? In the Ring: What titles did they win and how good were they on pay-per-view matches?
Before we start, it is important to note that we are looking for the greatest WWE wrestlers of all time. The likes of Goldberg, Sting and DDP (Diamond Dallas Page) are all time greats of wrestling, but spent most of their careers in WCW.
10. Mick Foley
Entrance Music 3.7/10
Finishing Move 5.9/10
On the mic 9.5/10
In the ring 9.7/10
Total Score 28.8/40
We start the list with a man who wrestled under several wrestling alter egos.

Chris Jericho unveils his new 'list' during AEW Dynamite
Mick Foley may not have had the best entrance music, nor was he the most technical wrestler, but he was brilliant at producing a promo, particularly as one of his altar egos Cactus Jack.
He was also a wrestler who could put on a show and was particularly well known for his hardcore style. Foley won three WWF championships, eight WWF tag-team championships and a hardcore championship.
9. Rowdy Roddy Piper
Finishing Move 4/10
Total 29.9/40
When you think of Rowdy Roddy Piper, the first thing that springs to mind is bagpipes and Scottish kilts. The irony was he was not actually from Scotland, he had Scottish heritage, but ultimately he was Canadian.
Piper was best known for his show Piper's Pit. He was brilliant at talking trash and interviewing other big name wrestlers in the mid-1980s.
8. "Macho Man" Randy Savage
Total 31/40
Savage only spent a decade of his 32-year career in the WWF, but won the World Heavyweight Championship twice, as well as the Intercontinental Championship once. He is the only member of the top 10 who used an aerial finisher, a flying elbow, to end a match.
7. John Cena
On the mic 10/10
Cena is a 16-time WWE Champion and is one of the most decorated superstars of all time. He is best known for his "you can't see me" catchphrase, and he helped usher in a new generation of wrestling fans.
6. The Undertaker
The Undertaker's entrance music is one of the best experiences, when the gong starts chiming, it is impossible not to get goosebumps.
The Deadman is the King of WrestleMania, putting together a 21 consecutive winning streak at The Grandest Stage Of Them All. Most impressive, however, is his longevity, having been with the WWF/WWE since 1990.
5. Ric Flair
The "Nature Boy" is undoubtedly a WWE legend. No one was better at bragging about his own riches and greatness.
A multiple World Champion, he was also a key part of one of the most dominate factions in WWE history "Evolution".
4. Hulk Hogan
Entrance Music 10/10
In the Ring 10/10
One of the most iconic wrestlers of the 1980s, Hollywood Hulk Hogan was certainly up there in regards to promos, particularly when he started calling everyone "brothers" and talking about his Hulkamaniacs.
He was the dude every kid wanted to be when he or she grew up.
3. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
The Rock was a great wrestler and terrific on the microphone. Nobody could sell the impact of the Stone Cold Stunner quite like Dwayne Johnson.
The Great One won eight WWE titles in all along with five tag team belts and a pair of intercontinental titles.
2. Shawn Michaels
Entrance Music 10.1/10
Michaels, otherwise known as the "Heart Break Kid" and "Mr WrestleMania", was one of the best wrestlers in WWE history.
He had some compelling feuds with the likes of Bret Hart, Kurt Angle and The Undertaker. He was a four-time heavyweight champion, and won the tag-team titles six times with four different partners.
1. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Finishing Move 10/10
The "Texas Rattlesnake" tops the wrestling list. The Stone Cold Stunner is regarded as the greatest finisher in WWE history.
His career-long feud with WWE owner Vince McMahon resulted in a number of specular speeches and promos.
"Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass" might be the most iconic mic drop in wrestling history.

The recent Missouri appellate decision in Phyllis Delaney v. Signature Health Care Foundation, Opinion ED97419 filed May 22, 2012, handed down by Eastern District of Court of Appeals, sheds additional light on Missouri's prohibition against firing employees contrary to public policy. In this case, the employee asked for four weeks after surgery to donate a kidney to her brother. The employer first gave the employee the green light, then said "no" three days before the surgery. The employer refused to hold the employee's position open and discharged the employee.
Ironically, the employer calls itself a health care foundation. A foundation is often a body formed to serve charitable interests. One would think a foundation of the health care variety would support its employee in being an organ donor, but apparently not so here. Have to wonder!
The sole point on appeal is whether in donating a kidney the employee acted in a manner public policy would encourage. The relatively obvious answer is "yes," donating a kidney is something the public policy of the State of Missouri encourages. The court of appeals therefore sent the case back down to the lower trial court so the employee may continue her case for wrongful discharge against the foundation that wrongfully discharged her from her job as a data entry clerk.
In its opinion, the court of appeals kindly listed these four categories of public policy exceptions to Missouri's general rule that an employer may fire its at-will employees with or without cause: (1) refusing to perform an illegal act or an act contrary to strong public policy mandate; (2) reporting the employer or fellow employees to third parties for violations of law or public policy; (3) acting in a manner public policy would encourage; or, (4) filing a claim for workers' compensation. The third exception applied in this case and therefore the employer could not fire the employee for not being at work due to donating a kidney, an act encouraged by various Missouri laws discussed in the court's opinion.


Consolidation among Canadian pot growers is inevitable.
Ah, the magic of analyst ratings! After a tough month in April, cannabis firm Hexo (NYSEAmerican:HEXO) suddenly reversed course after Bank of America analyst Christopher Carey initiated coverage. Sizing up the risk and reward profile, Carey assigned a "buy" rating on Hexo stock with a $10 price target.Source: Shutterstock The news couldn't have come at a better time. While cannabis stocks offer tremendous upside because they essentially materialize an industry that previously never existed, they're also incredibly volatile. Because this is an unprecedented sector, many investors are unsure how to approach a company like HEXO.As such, I mentioned earlier that I liked Hexo stock, even compared to relative heavyweight Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB). Unfortunately, the aforementioned volatility in cannabis stocks disproportionately impacted HEXO, sending my recommendation toward a quick grave. But thanks to Carey, this bad boy gained nearly 12% on Wednesday.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 7 Stocks to Buy for Spring Season Growth Of course, by the time that you're reading this, this dramatic burst in Hexo stock is in the past. Do newcomers still have a chance in riding this promising, but wild bull? Underappreciated Elements Support Hexo StockThe best way I can characterize Hexo stock is as a diamond in the rough. I believe the organization has the right components in place to make a solid run. However, the credibility issues that stymie virtually all cannabis stocks will pressure HEXO. At the end of the day, it comes down to your risk tolerance.But if you're willing to take that leap, Carey argues that this weed play deserves your attention. Primarily, HEXO stock is undervalued relative to its peers. Of course, in the marijuana sector, "undervalued" is an extremely relative term. That said, many cannabis stocks have hit nosebleed levels. Therefore, HEXO at least on paper provides some assurance of future room for growth.Next, the BofA analyst mentioned that Hexo stock is levered toward a "de-risked" Canadian cannabis market. Although I wouldn't use that term specifically, I see his point. Our northern neighbors paved the way for other western and developed nations to adopt tolerant policies. While this broader dynamic is building out, management has time to hone its craft.Finally, Carey mentioned "value-add partnerships" that go beyond the scope of Hexo's existent relationship with Molson Coors Brewing (NYSE:TAP). I agree. Cannabis stocks can branch out into subsegments of the broader categories of recreational and medicinal usage. However, let's not gloss over the Molson partnership as it holds a significant key for growth.Naturally, the idea here is for Hexo and Molson to developed cannabidiol (CBD)-infused drinks. Now, CBD itself is a tailwind for the industry as it offers non-psychoactive exposure to the cannabis plant. In other words, it's a lot easier to introduce people to weed through a drink rather than a joint. Upgrade Suggests Rising Credibility for Cannabis StocksIndeed, Hexo's Molson partnership has advantages over an expected synergy like Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON) and Altria Group (NYSE:MO). I don't think I can ever get my parents to smoke marijuana. But to drink it in a form that won't get them stoned? That's infinitely more palatable and more socially acceptable.Invariably, that had to enter BofA's thinking process when deciding to go bullish on Hexo stock. But just the fact that the big bank is even considering cannabis stocks is a major sign. It gives the industry significant credibility, and it suggests a very viable environment in the future.While we here in the U.S. have also warmed to varying degrees of legalization, most banks won't finance cannabis-related businesses. Why? Because it comes down to that nasty roadblock called Schedule I. Despite individual state laws, cannabis falls under strict federal guidelines.Sure, we've made progress in this department, too. For instance, the 2018 farm bill won consensus at a time when bipartisanship no longer exists. And major conservative figures have more or less voiced support for full legalization.Nevertheless, that Schedule I classification remains on the books for marijuana. Unless the federal government officially extinguishes it, most banks won't touch cannabis stocks. * 5 Dividend Stocks Perfect for Retirees And while BofA isn't necessarily diving into the sector with open arms, it's essentially giving you the green light to do so. Look, Hexo stock is a risky play no matter how you cut it. But if you've got the nerve, I'd read between the lines.As of this writing, Josh Enomoto did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

He lived in Jabal 'Amil, Lebanon and his lineage reached Harith al-Hamdani. Due to his expertise in different sciences of his time, al-Kaf'ami had miscellaneous works, and biographers have spoken highly of him. Al-Misbah and al-Balad al-Amin are among his famous works in ziyara and supplication.

Birth and Lineage
Taqi al-Din, Ibrahim b. ALi al-'Amili al-Kaf'ami was born in Kfar 'Ayma village of Jabal 'Amil in 840/1436. Aqa Buzurg Tihrani has mentioned the date of his birth in 828/1425.
His lineage reached Harith Hamdani, the companion of Imam Ali (a). At the end of his Misbah, al-Kaf'ami have introduced himself a descendant of Harith. His birthplace, Kfar 'Ayma village is near Jebchit and today, only some ruins are left of this abandoned village.
Al-Kaf'ami Family
There are famous people in al-Kaf'ami family. His first teacher was his father, Shaykh Ali al-Kaf'ami who gave him permission to narrat hadiths and is considered among his sources of hadiths. Shaykh Ali al-Kaf'ami was among the scholars and mystics of Jabal 'Amil who devoted his life and children to Islam and Shia. His children were:
al-Shaykh Taqi al-Din Ibrahim al-Kaf'ami, author of al-Misbah, etc.
al-Shaykh Shams al-Din Muhammad al-Jaba'i al-'Amili (d. 886/1481) who was also an Islamic scholar and the great grandfather of al-Shaykh al-Baha'i and thus both al-Shaykh al-Baha'i and al-Kaf'ami were descendants of Harith.
al-Shaykh Jamal al-Din Ahmad was also a Shia author and wrote Zubdat al-bayan fi 'amal shahr Ramadan. Apparently, Shaykh Jamal al-Din passed away before Ibrahim al-Kaf'ami who has quoted from in his book.
Al-Kaf'ami had many teachers which have been listed in references of rijal and biography. Three of his most famous teachers were:
Ali b. Hasan al-Kaf'ami, his father who gave him permission to narrate hadiths.
Sayyid husayn b. Musa'id al-Husayni , author of Tuhfat al-abrar fi manaqib al-a'immat al-abrar.
Sayyid Ali b. 'Abd al-Husayn al-Musawi al-Husayni, author of Raf' al-malamat 'an Ali (a) fi tark al-Imama.
In the books of rijal and biography, there is no mention of his students.
During 65 years of his life, al-Shaykh Ibrahim al-Kaf'ami wrote many scholarly books and treatises in different fields such as mysticism, spiritual journey, literature, poetry, history, supplication and ziyara. When mentioning the works of al-Kaf'ami in A'yan al-Shi'a, Sayyid Muhsin al-Amin has listed the names of 49 books, the volume of some of which is more than 1000 pages.
Junnat al-aman al-waqiya wa jannat al-iman al-baqiya or Misbah of al-Kaf'ami. The cause of naming this book as Misbah is that this book is written in the same style as al-Shaykh al-Tusi's Misbah al-mutahajjid, and thus is named as Misbah, but to be distinguished from al-Shaykh al-Tusi's Misbah, it has been named Misbah of al-Kaf'ami.
Al-Junnat al-Waqiya is a summary of Misbah.
Al-Balad al-amin wa l-dar' al-hasin which is among the biggest books of al-Kaf'ami and much more voluminous than Misbah, even though it is similar to it in content.
Nihayat al-arab fi amthal al-'Arab in two thick volumes which, according to great scholars, is the best book in the field.
And many other books.
Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya
Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya with the handwriting of al-Kaf'ami is one of the oldest manuscripts of Sahifa which was taken out of Iran and lost many years ago; but was finally recognized in the Indian peninsula and was moved to Qom in Iran and was then published. In addition to the 54 supplications of Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, this manuscript has four more supplications.
Poems and Literary Speeches
Al-Kaf'ami was also knowledgeable in literature, poetry and speech-making. Talmasani, the Sunni scholar praised al-Kaf'ami for his Qur'anic speech. One of al-Kaf'ami's famous literary works is a poem about the Day of Ghadir, names of that day, praising merits and values of Imam Ali (a) which is known as ode of Ra'iyya.
In the Views of Others
Mirza 'Abd Allah Afandi, author of Riyad al-'Ulama introduced al-Kaf'ami, the top of his time in Arabic literature.
Al-Shaykh Hurr al-'Amili, author of Wasa'il al-Shi'a considered al-Kaf'ami, a trustworthy, knowledgeable, man of literature, a poet and righteous.
In al-Ghadir, al-'Allama al-Amini mentioned him as Jami' 'ilm wa adab ["Perfect man in knowledge and literature"].
Khayr al-Din Zirikili, a Sunni biographer mentioned al-Kaf'ami as "a man of literature among Imamiyya scholars".
His Demise
Al-Shaykh Ibrahim al-Kaf'ami lived in Karbala and had willed to be buried there, but toward the end of his life, he had a journey to his birth town and passed away at the age of 65 in Kafar 'Ima in 905/1499-1500.
Discovery of His Grave
Kafara 'Ima village was destroyed over time and nothing remained of the grave of al-Kaf'ami, but after years (after 11th/17th century), a farmer found a grave on the stone of which, it was written, "Hadha qabr al-Shaykh Ibrhim b. Ali al-Kaf'ami, Rahmatullah 'alayh" ["This is the grave of al-Shaykh Ibrhim b. Ali al-Kaf'ami, blessings from God be upon him"]. When people were informed of it, they repaired and reconstructed the place of his grave and today, Shia visit his grave.

Just as a window shows you part of a scene, so it is with my Window series. As in all of my recent work, the canvas tells me a story. I then give it an abstract name so you can come up with your own story. It was a surprise to me that this woman was pregnant and I don't know where the lizard came from, but I love it that she showed up.

Suriname Independence Day – November 25, 2023
Suriname Independence Day is every year on November 25. The country may be one of the smallest in South America, but it is also one of the most ethnically diverse. It's also pristine, filled with nature, and among three of the only carbon-negative countries on the planet. The world has plenty of lessons to learn from Suriname. Still, the path there was no bed of roses. Suriname Independence Day is a tribute to a tiny country with a tremendous heart. A day to commemorate a nation's healing and phenomenal progress.
History of Suriname Independence Day
Spanish, French, and English explorers first landed in Suriname in the 16th century. A hundred years later, its fertile land and rivers became home to plantation colonies established by Dutch and English settlers. Territorial disputes arose during the Second Anglo-Dutch War in 1667, and a peace treaty ensured the Dutch kept Suriname. In return, the English governed New Netherland, a former Dutch colony in North America. In 1683, the city of Amsterdam founded the Society of Suriname to rule and defend the territory. The lucrative coffee, sugar cane, cocoa, and cotton plantations in Suriname depended on the hard labor of enslaved people from Africa. Plantation owners' treatment of workers was notoriously harsh — savage and unforgiving even by the standards of the time.
In 1863, the Netherlands officially abolished slavery in Suriname, although true freedom was a long way away. Plantation owners exploited a ten-year transition period to get as much work out of their workers as possible for minimal pay. When this period expired in 1873, formerly enslaved people abandoned the plantations and moved to the capital city, Paramaribo. After W.W.I.I., Suriname became a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Netherlands regained control of Suriname's foreign affairs and defense. But the local government had other plans. The Creole members of the National Party of Suriname (N.P.S.) started negotiations to push for complete independence. Their efforts did not go in vain, and on November 25, 1975, Suriname became free. Henck Arron, then-leader of the N.P.S., became the country's first Prime Minister, while Johan Ferrier, former governor, was the first President.

Professor, UC Berkeley
karp@cs.berkeley.edu
Richard Karp was the founding Director of the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing (2012-2017). He attended Boston Latin School and Harvard University, receiving his PhD in 1959. From 1959 to 1968 he was a member of the Mathematical Sciences Department at IBM Research. From 1968 to 1994 and from 1999 to the present he has been a Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where he held the Class of 1939 Chair and is currently a University Professor. From 1988 to 1995 and 1999 to the present he has been a Research Scientist at the International Computer Science Institute in Berkeley. From 1995 to 1999 he was a Professor at the University of Washington. During the 1985-86 academic year he was the co-organizer of a Computational Complexity Year at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley. During the 1999-2000 academic year he was the Hewlett-Packard Visiting Professor at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute.
The unifying theme in Karp's work has been the study of combinatorial algorithms. His 1972 paper, "Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems," showed that many of the most commonly studied combinatorial problems are NP-complete, and hence likely to be intractable. Much of his work has concerned parallel algorithms, the probabilistic analysis of combinatorial optimization algorithms and the construction of randomized algorithms for combinatorial problems. His current research activities center around algorithmic methods in genomics and computer networking. He has supervised thirty-six PhD dissertations. His honors and awards include: U.S. National Medal of Science, Turing Award, Fulkerson Prize, Harvey Prize (Technion), Centennial Medal (Harvard), Lanchester Prize, Von Neumann Theory Prize, Von Neumann Lectureship, Distinguished Teaching Award (Berkeley), Faculty Research Lecturer (Berkeley), Miller Research Professor (Berkeley), Babbage Prize and eight honorary degrees. He is a member of the U.S. National Academies of Sciences and Engineering, the American Philosophical Society and the French Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Association for Computing Machinery and the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science.

Dhauti (Sanskrit f. dhautī "Reinigung") ist eine der sechs Hauptreinigungsübungen des Hatha Yogas, der Shatkriyas. Allerdings handelt es sich hierbei um einen ganzen Praxiskomplex zur Reinigung vor allem des oberen Verdauungskanals. Manchmal wird die Spülung des gesamten Verdauungstraktes Shankprakshalana auch zu Dhauti gezählt (Varisara-Dhauti). Hauptsächlich unterscheidet man aber zwischen:

Reinigungspraktiken des Mundes
 Jihva Dhauti – Reinigung der Zunge mit Hilfe eines Zungenschabers.
 Gandusha – Spülung des Mundes mit Sesamöl für etwa 10–15 Minuten.
 Danta Dhauti – Reinigung der Zähne mit einem Neem-Stäbchen oder einer Zahnbürste.
Die Praktiken werden nacheinander in der hier angegebenen Reihenfolge vorzugsweise täglich geübt.

Reinigungspraktiken der Speiseröhre und des Magens
 Hrid Dhauti oder Vastra Dhauti – Verschlucken und langsames Wiederherausziehen einer Mullbinde.
 Vamana Dhauti oder Kunjal Kriya (Sanskrit, von kunjara "Elefant") – Magenspülung durch Schlucken von einem bis zwei Litern Wasser und anschließendes Erbrechen.
Diese Praktiken werden einzeln oder nacheinander geübt, wobei die Häufigkeit von täglich bis einmal wöchentlich variieren kann.

Eine weniger gebräuchliche Methode ist Vata-Sara-Dhauti, bei der Luft durch den schnabelförmig gespitzten Mund eingesaugt wird. Die Luft im Magen wird anschließend durch den Anus herausgepresst.

Wie bei allen anderen Übungen gilt auch hier, dass die Praktiken des Dhauti nur unter fachkundiger Anleitung eines erfahrenen Yogalehrers geübt werden sollten. Auch die Beratung mit einem Facharzt ist vor der Ausübung sehr zu empfehlen.

Airports authority sues finance minister for "inertia"
Portugal's finance minister João Leão risks becoming the first minister in this country to be tried for damages caused by doing absolutely nothing.
This is the bottom line of a civil case taken out by airports authority ANA, which has been waiting over a year for him to sanction an ordinance ('portaria') concerning a 50 cêntimo increase in security fees to be charged to airline passengers.
ANA believes it has already lost €13 million because of Mr Leão's inertia.
It is not a one-off either. According to Expresso, Mr Leão has "given the same destiny to other dossiers" that come his way: "he receives them and relegates them to the back burner, not responding".
In this particular case, the increase has already been okayed by civil aviation regulatory body ANAC and by infrastructures minister Pedro Nuno Santos.
The latter passed it to Mr Leão in March 2021, and since April "ANA has been knocking at the door of the finance ministry" appealing for some kind of explanation for the delay.
"After months without obtaining more than João Leão's silence, the company decided to act judicially against the effects of political inaction", says Expresso.
It could well be that Mr Leão will have to respond in court to the charge, and be obliged to indemnify ANA, the paper adds, continuing that "the judicial process is just another public sign of the difficult political and institutional relationships that João Leão has maintained since he took on the post of finance minister".
Expresso explains that João Leão's focus since taking over from his predecessor, now ensconced as the governor of Portugal's central bank, has been the management of public accounts.
He has "demonstrated lack of consideration for other areas under his control, even the most pressing, delaying the resolution of problems, leaving dossiers to marinate and failing to consider various requests for meetings, even invitations".
It's not certain that João Leão will even be minister of finance after Sunday's election result. Speculation in the recent past has put former Socialist mayor of Lisbon Fernando Medina in the post, in a future PS-led government. But one thing is for sure, ANA's legal claim won't be going away.

When winter arrives, its not just humans who flock to the ski fields. At Treble Cone, near Wanaka, some cheeky locals turn the ski field and car park into their playground. Meet the Locals is a partnership between DOC and TVNZ 6 and is distributed by Bush Telly with permission.


Wachovia Bank agreed to loan money for an office-building development project in Houston; the borrowers' repayment of the loan was guaranteed by a corporation (the guarantor).
The guaranty identified the "Borrower" as 16 different Delaware LLCs, that is, using the singular form, instead of the plural, as a nickname.
The loan went into default, and one of the Delaware LLCs filed for bankruptcy protection; that of course meant that the LLC's ownership interest in the project became an asset of the LLC's bankruptcy estate.
The bank's successor in interest (the noteholder) sought to collect unpaid amounts from the guarantor. The guarantor, though, took the position that it would not be liable under the guaranty unless all of the LLCs filed for bankruptcy protection. The district court sided with the guarantor and rendered summary judgment against the noteholder.
The only reasonable, textually supportable interpretation of "Borrower" is that it refers to the collective entities or to each individual borrowing entity, as the context may require. "Borrower" is unambiguous as a matter of law in the Guaranty.

The appeals court went even further: It didn't remand the case to the trial court, it went ahead, on its own, and rendered judgment for the noteholder. See id.
In other words, because the defined term "Borrower" had been inartfully drafted, the had to spend what was surely thousands of dollars in legal fees to litigate the meaning of the term.

Keeping Gosport accessible for Residents
Gilkicker Right Of Way Campaign
At the end of Summer 2017, we, along with many other Gosport residents and visitors to our area, were shocked to learn that public access around Fort Gilkicker had been blocked. The Fort, and a significant surrounding area, had been fenced off, blocking public access to paths used daily for a generation or more.
The fort, which had been sold to a developer to be converted into luxury flats, stands on Gilkicker Point, an important habitat for wildlife and a local beauty spot. Commanding great views of Portsmouth and the Solent, Gilkicker is a favourite destination for families, dog-walkers and ramblers. It also includes Sites of Special Scientific Interest, a rare and important saline lagoon of inestimable worth.
Gosport Labour Party members Chris Percival, Mark Smith, Alan Durrant and Councillor June Cully, among others, visited the area and spoke to visitors about our plan to apply for the paths surrounding and leading to the fort to be officially recognised as the Public Rights of Way that decades of use has made them. They organised a meeting of what became the Gilkicker Action Group, a non-affiliated residents' group, and together we put pressure on Gosport Borough Council to hold a public meeting. Eventually, the council agreed.
At the meeting, we again, along with residents from across Gosport, put pressure on Gosport Borough Council to dedicate the paths as Public Rights of Way. They refused. But days later they saw sense and conceded to the public pressure.
There are still unanswered questions about access and about the environment around Gilkicker. At the time of writing (April 2021) fencing is being removed from the site and it looks like there has been another sale. Gosport Labour Party is pleased that residents continue to monitor this important site and will work with them to protect this part of our heritage.
