Abstract
In this communication I want to briefly describe the contents of the talk I presented at the lake Tahoe EELS conference. Since most of what I talked about has or will appear in print in another form, I will restrict myself to very brief descriptions of in my view relevant basic ideas and supply a list of references in which more details can be found.

PACS
7870D - X-ray absorption spectra.
7170 - Level splitting and interactions.
7920K - Other electron-impact emission phenomena.

Key words
Band structure -- EEL spectroscopy -- X ray absorption spectrometry -- Core levels -- Near edge structure
