Statement re Right2Change
The magnificent movement of people power which exploded onto the streets across the length and breath of the country in opposition to Irish Water & water charges was an important development in our recent history. It channeled the anger and betrayal felt by citizens after years of neo-liberal policies and austerity budgets, the decimation of public services, & a race to the bottom in wages and conditions. It brought thousands of people into political activity for the first time. It showed that no government can rule without the will of the people, and that protest action can pay.
Against this background we believe that the initiative of the Right2Water unions to try and harness this movement, beyond protests, into a movement for change, was the correct one. We have committed to supporting the policy positions of Right2Change, as a starting point in dismantling the prevailing ideology of the establishment parties who have slavishly implemented economic policies at the behest of the markets.
We believe that society can be organised in a different way, a better way, where the interests of the people are centre stage – the right to housing, a job with decent pay and conditions, access to healthcare when you're sick, and a pension when you retire. These demands are the bare minimum in a country which has seen the wealth of the top 300 citizens increase by €13.5 billion in the last year alone.
Across our society there is a desperate yearning for change as the parties that have been in power have misused it and a different type of politics must be built. We have pledged to play a part in delivering that, by committing to work with any other parties or individuals who are prepared to break with neo-liberalism, including forming a government, should the numbers allow. We are very clear that we will not play a part in any government with Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael or Labour.
The role of the the media, & some of the political parties involved, in how the Right2Change initiative has been portrayed over the past week is a stark warning to activists in the communities and unions. The Establishment has a vested interest in trying to undermine this project. They will seek to exaggerate division, to portray chaos and incoherence & to misrepresent what is being attempted. This is a sign of their fear but we must not fall for it.
It must also be said that the opportunism of some of the groupings involved, who diverted this project into a dialogue about voting pacts & transfers, and whether they would or wouldn't be calling for transfers for each other is regrettable. Electoral pacts were never part of any discussions. It will do nothing for the cause if some groups are prepared to put their own party interests, ahead of those of the general movement. That is why we are contesting this election as independents & will work with other like minded individuals to build the type of grass roots, bottom up politics, that bases itself on empowering people to organise for themselves. This is essential if we are to deliver the change that Ireland deserves & yearns on the eve of the 1916 centenary.

Q: Django static files versions How do you control  version of your static files in Django? I wrote custom templatetag which adds the modification date as GET parameter of file URL, but would like to know - whether I'm doing.
Tag code:
import os

from django import template
from django.conf import settings

register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag
def sstatic(path):
    '''
    Returns absolute URL to static file with versioning.
    '''
    full_path = os.path.join(settings.STATIC_ROOT, path)
    try:
        # Get file modification time.
        mtime = os.path.getmtime(full_path)
        return '%s%s?%s' % (settings.STATIC_URL, path, mtime)
    except OSError:
        # Returns normal url if this file was not found in filesystem.
        return '%s%s' % (settings.STATIC_URL, path)

A: Applications such as django-compressor, and django-pipeline are good for these sort of things.

A: Django 1.7 added ManifestStaticFilesStorage which is designed to do this as part of the collectstatic cycle by appending hashes to filenames. By default it applies to all filetypes.
If you want to use it but want to specify which filetypes are versioned, then I wrote an extension that allows you to include / exclude files by path pattern.
As of Django 2.2 this ManifestStaticFilesStorage is still the recommended way to do this.

Present: HENNESSEY, C.J., QUIRICO, BRAUCHER, & LIACOS, JJ.
CIVIL ACTION commenced in the Supreme Judicial Court for the county of Suffolk on May 20, 1976.
The case was reported by Liacos, J.
Colette Manoil for the Brockton Hospital.
Jeffrey Swope for Blue Cross of Massachusetts, Inc.
Carl Valvo, Assistant Attorney General, for the Rate Setting Commission.
BRAUCHER, J. In 1972 the Brockton Hospital (hospital) received a cost rebate, called a nursing salary cost differential (NSD), from the Federal government on account of services rendered to Medicare patients in 1969, 1970, and 1971. The Rate Setting Commission (commission) ruled that Blue Cross, which reimburses the hospital on a cost basis, was entitled to share in the rebate. In an appeal pursuant to G. L. c. 176A, Section 5, the hospital seeks review of that ruling. We uphold the decision of the commission.
been a participating hospital under an agreement with Blue Cross. The hospital has received and the commission has approved final settlements under the agreement for fiscal years ending September 30, 1969, 1970, and 1971, with no NSD deduction. On March 5, 1973, the hospital submitted cost data for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1972. After audit by the commission staff, the hospital was notified of the audit adjustment in dispute by an audit report dated March 19, 1975. A calculation of the total amount of adjustment was sent to the hospital with a cover letter dated October 7, 1975. The disputed adjustment constitutes about $14,100 of the total, and it is stipulated that the calculations are mathematically correct. After a staff conference to discuss the hospital's objections, the total adjustment was approved by the commission at a public meeting on April 29, 1976. The hospital was formally notified on April 30, 1976, and it filed its petition for review on May 20, 1976. A single justice of this court reserved and reported the case to the full court without decision.
Blue Cross, Medicare and Medicaid all pay for care on the basis of the lower of the hospital's reasonable costs or its charges, and costs are normally lower than charges. Before 1971 nursing salary costs were allocated among the three by their ratio of patient days. For periods prior to July 1, 1969, Medicare paid an allowance of 2% in lieu of unrecognized costs, and no deduction on that account was made from the costs of Blue Cross. In 1971, the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare (Secretary) promulgated the NSD regulation, retroactive to July 1, 1969. 36 Fed. Reg. 12,606 (July 2, 1971), as amended, 20 C.F.R. Section 405.430 (1977). The Secretary's theory was that aged patients, "on the average, receive inpatient routine nursing care that is more costly on an average per day basis than the average of the remainder of the adult nonmaternity patient population." 20 C.F.R. Section 405.430 (c)(1) (1972). The differential was fixed at 8 1/2%, and resulted in payment to the hospital of $63,809 in 1972.
The Blue Cross agreement in effect for fiscal 1972 provided that, in calculating reimbursable costs for any department of the hospital, "all revenues, if any, received by the Hospital from any source attributable to the department shall be deducted ...." The commission's regulation number 71-33, effective October 1, 1971, provides for such deductions "to assure that reimbursement for such cost item shall not exceed the total costs incurred by the provider for that item." [Note 2] The same regulation also provides: "10. Recovery of Expense. Recovery of expense schedule V-C shall include the eight and one-half percent nursing service differential provided under applicable Medicaid [Note 3] regulations (405.430)." The commission staff simply applied the regulation, consistently with the Blue Cross contract, and the commission approved that action. Under G. L. c. 176A, Section 5, all rates of payment to Blue Cross must be approved by the commission and must "reflect reasonable costs" or be "based on charges made to the general public, whichever is lower." It would not "reflect reasonable costs" to reimburse the hospital twice for the same costs, once by Medicare and second time by Blue Cross.
of double reimbursement, and their action made it clear that there was no such requirement. A Medicaid regulation, retroactive to July 1, 1969, made for Medicaid costs the same type of deduction made for Blue Cross in the present case. 36 Fed. Reg. 12,621 (July 2, 1971), as amended, 42 C.F.R. Section 450.30 (b)(1) (1977).
Finally, the hospital contends that the Medicare payments in issue were attributable to fiscal 1969, 1970, and 1971, and that there was error in making the adjustment with respect to 1972 rates alone. It is clear that an adjustment of the allocation of costs among Blue Cross, Medicare, and Medicaid for one year might result in different dollar amounts from those resulting from an adjustment for another year. But we are not informed as to the calculations, and we have no way of knowing whether the difference would be significant. Absolute precision in such matters is likely to cost more than it is worth, and we think no abuse of the commission's discretion has been shown. Cf. Employers' Commercial Union Ins. Co. v. Commissioner of Ins., 362 Mass. 34 , 42 (1972) (downward adjustment of current insurance rates to distribute past excess profits).
[Note 1] Massachusetts Blue Cross, Inc. (Blue Cross).
[Note 2] "5. Cost Differential Adjustment Factors. If the principles of reimbursement or the definition of reimbursable cost applicable to any third party making payment to the provider recognize cost differentials attributable to hospital services which are specifically required, or are required in greater degree than the average, by such third party or by persons on whose behalf such third party makes payment, reduction in the relevant cost item shall be made for other third party payors to assure that reimbursement for such cost item shall not exceed the total costs incurred by the provider for that item."
[Note 3] The regulation number 405.430 makes it clear that "Medicare" rather than "Medicaid" was intended.
