The major California-based solar company Sungevity declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday. Sungevity is laying off workers, auctioning off some assets, and agreeing to hand over control investors in exchange for $20 million in financing to keep the company’s operations going. Sungevity was one of seven residential solar power companies, which Congress announced in September it would formally investigate for wrongfully receiving billions in tax credits from the government. The federal government likely handed out roughly $25 billion in cash grants and tax credits to these companies. “The actions we have announced today will allow Sungevity to emerge as a stronger and more competitive company,” William Nettles, the company’s newly appointed Chief Administration Officer, said in a press statement . “With its market-leading software platform and its high quality employees who provide unwavering commitment to customers and exceptional service, Sungevity intends to be at the … [Read more...] about Another Solar Company Goes Bankrupt

A man in New Jersey has spoken about his joy at discovering buried treasure on his property as he renovated his home, according to reports. Richard Gilson found buried treasure from the 1930s after he began digging a hole as part of his renovations on Friday at his home in Wildwood, according to a 3CBS Philly report. Speaking to 3CBS Philly, Gilson said he had been renovating his home for the last two years when he stumbled across the buried treasure in the form of rolled up $10 and $20 bills all with the same date on them, 1934. "Somebody went under there with a little shovel and buried that thing under there," Gilson said. "They were hiding that money from somebody for something. You'd be surprised. You think your digging someplace nobody's been and you find something that was there a long time ago." Gilson said he initially thought he was digging up roots before he realized what he had stumbled upon. The bills add up to $1,000, which Gilson estimates in 1934 was worth … [Read more...] about ‘Priceless’ Treasure Buried in 1934 Found During Home Renovation

Another solar company went out of business after receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer cash, according to a Monday GreenTech Media article. Beamreach, called Solexel until 2016, received $3 million in Department of Energy (DOE) funding in 2008 . The company spent more than $250 million, mostly raised from private investors in Saudi Arabia, before going under. Beamreach tried to produce highly efficient solar cells that only cost $0.42 per watt by 2014, but failed, according to GreenTech Media . The failure prompted Solexel to change its name to Beamreach last year, and try to enter the lucrative rooftop solar market. Beamreach was unable to handle its substantial load of debt in the rooftop solar market and couldn’t attract new investors. This caused the company to enter what appears to be a liquidation bankruptcy. Roughly five major solar companies closed up shop in 2015, which follows the historic tendency that solar power companies tend to go bankrupt as soon … [Read more...] about Solar Company Goes Bust After Getting Millions In Taxpayer Cash

Europe’s biggest markets all dropped in value as uncertainty once again rippled through. It came after particular worries about Deutsche Bank caused shares to drop by more than 14% before midday on Friday and credit default swaps – which are used by Deutsche’s bondholders as insurance should it fail – soared.

Coronation Street actor Peter Ash has been gracing our screens since 2018. Corrie viewers were first introduced to his character Paul Foreman when he shared a prison cell with David Platt in May 2018.

Robert Lewinger is tired of being berated by his gastroenterologist because he’s overdue for a colonoscopy. He’s perfectly willing to have one. And he’s more than ready for cataract surgery on his second eye. The problem: Mr. Lewinger, 72, a retired lawyer who lives in Manhattan, can’t schedule either of these procedures, which involve anesthesia or sedation, unless he supplies the name and phone number of the person taking him home afterward. Otherwise, clinics and outpatient surgical centers refuse to make appointments. Mr. Lewinger is also willing to undergo Mohs surgery, as his dermatologist has recommended, for two small skin cancers on his face. But the surgeons associated with her practice also insist on medical escorts, even though most Mohs surgery is performed under local anesthesia and doesn’t require them. Transportation itself isn’t the difficulty; Mr. Lewinger could summon an Uber or a Lyft, call a car service or hail a cab. What he needs is “someone to escort me … [Read more...] about You May Need That Procedure. But Do You Really Need an Escort?

The Coronation will no doubt be one of the biggest days of King Charles' life - and certainly one he's been made to wait for. But if last year's Platinum Jubilee celebrations for his late mother the Queen are anything to go by, he could see his young grandchildren steal the show. The bumper bank holiday weekend was the first real taste of royal duty for Prince George , Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - and they certainly made the most of, especially Louis. He had a whale of the time at Trooping the Colour with some hilarious faces while watching the RAF flypast.

Colorado teachers flooded into the state Capitol Friday to press for better protections for students and school staff after a 17-year-old Denver student shot two administrators , fled to the mountains and killed himself. Roughly 1,500 teachers and their supporters called for improved school security, more mental health support and tighter gun control measures, adding to pressure on lawmakers a day after students and parents converged at the Capitol to make similar demands. School shootings are becoming increasingly frequent in the U.S., and teachers at the rally voiced the fears they feel during safety lockdowns that are now regular occurrences. They also raised questions about the circumstances surrounding Wednesday’s shooting at East High School, which came as the boy was being patted down for weapons, a daily requirement because of his behavioral issues including a pending firearm charge , according to school officials. Some East High School teachers at Friday’s … [Read more...] about Teachers press school safety at Colorado Capitol in wake of East High shooting

Most Americans who are due for a colon cancer screening will receive a postcard or a call — or prompting during a doctor’s visit — to remind them that it’s time to schedule a colonoscopy. But at big health care systems like Kaiser Permanente or the federal Veterans Health Administration, the process has changed. Patients who should be screened regularly (age 50 to 75) and who are of average risk, get a letter telling them about a home test kit arriving by mail. It’s a FIT, which stands for fecal immunochemical test. The small cardboard mailer contains equipment and instructions for taking a stool sample and returning the test to a lab, to detect microscopic amounts of blood. A week or so later, the results show up on an online patient portal. Five to 6 percent of patients will have a positive test and need to schedule a follow-up colonoscopy. But the great majority are finished with colon cancer screening for the year — no uncomfortable prep, no need to skip work or find … [Read more...] about A Colonoscopy Alternative Comes Home
