The key takeaway from the essential Delphine Seyrig retrospective opening at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive might be how little we Americans know of and appreciate the great French actress dexterity the many faces and the many roles she embodied.

Almost all of the films screening are essential in their own individual way, but brought together under Seyrigs name, they give us a new way of appreciating the legacy of one of Frances greatest film artists.

We moved into a new house which had gas and electricity supplied by Green Star Energy. In the five months since, weve been unable to get our names on the account, despite repeated calls, while at the same time we were being sent increasingly aggressive demands for payment. It tells us that without our names on the account, we cant pay the bill.

Weve twice been told the issue has been resolved, but are still receiving the demands and have yet to receive a bill with our name on it.

The latest letter told us that unless we paid by a date that had already passed, action would be taken to recover the debt. We called again to try to pay and were told we couldnt without our name on the account and our name couldnt be put on the account becaus…

More than 465 bricks-and-mortar stores closed their doors for good in the US over the weekend, sparking headlines that the retail apocalypse is alive and well.

And while the store closure surge was primarily driven by retailers, such as Gap, J.C. Penney and Victorias Secret, rightsizing their footprints after a slow December, rather than businesses going bankrupt, it comes as retail insolvencies in Australia are on the rise.

This is according to the fourth annual Worrells Insolvency Report, which revealed that retail had the fourth highest rate of insolvency rate of any industry during FY17-18.

Retail insolvencies accounted for 8 per cent of total insolvencies in the period, compared to 7 per cent the year prior. Within the sector, t…
