A tale of record business chicanery

The 2012 movie "Searching for Sugar Man" belatedly made a minor star out of the musician Sixto Diaz Rodriguez. Its basic premise is that somehow his records became hits in South Africa but everybody thought he was dead, so they went looking for him. In fact, he was alive all along in Detroit, pursuing a modest career as a day laborer. Rodriguez was signed to the independent label Sussex Records. One of the dramatic highlights of the film is when the interviewer confronts Clarence Avant, the label's owner. "What happened to all of the royalties?" the interviewer asks. Avant becomes visibly agitated and is unable to offer a satisfactory answer to the question. In fact the mystery of the missing royalties is not that difficult to assess. While it remains hypothetical, this note sets forth the most likely scenario.
Rodriguez signed a contract with Sussex obligating him to deliver an album, with options for more. At least one of those options was exercised, because the label put out two of them: "Cold Fact" in 1970 and "Coming from Reality" in 1971. Rodriguez evidently was recording a third album when Sussex dropped him, meaning that it exercised an option but then decided not to proceed. As was standard at the time, the contract paid Rodriguez a royalty rate on net sales of records equal to 10% of the wholesale price, with deductions for packaging, free goods, discounts and other similar sales inducements. Sussex paid for all recording costs, including studio, side musicians and producer. Those costs were "recoupable," meaning they could be recovered by the label at the contractual rate, before any further royalties actually became payable to Rodriguez.
Being an independent label, Sussex was reliant upon an unreliable network of independent record distributors to bring its records to market. This was a day and age long before the advent of internet streaming, digital downloads, even the CD. Records were physical goods made out of vinyl. Tower Records just was starting. While there were some small chains like Discount Records and Wherehouse, there were no major record store chains like Musicland or Transworld (there aren't any now, either). Most stores bought either directly from a distributor or through intermediaries known as one-stops, i.e. the small store made "one stop" to buy all of its product requirements. Record distribution was doled out by territory, with each distributor jealously guarding its turf. There were plenty of inside deals, kick-backs, payola, hookers and color TV sets.
A label's ability to get its records distributed, and get paid, depended solely on the clout of its artist roster. The label also needed a continuous flow of product so the distributor was incentivized to pay, because it knew the label would have more records coming later. At the time, Warner Bros. Records was independently distributed — this was before the creation of WEA Corp. — and it got paid. But this was the exception, not the rule. A small independent label with a one-off record didn't stand a chance. If it got paid at all, it got paid very little. Furthermore, it had no effective mechanism to remedy any payments deficiency. It was inexpensive, relationship-disruptive and most likely personally dangerous to pursue any shortfall.
Sussex' position wasn't helped by the fact it went out of business in 1975. When a label goes out of business it's a green light for distributors to embargo any and all cash. In fairness to distributors, that's also the signal for retailers to return any unsold quantities of records back to the distributor, knowing the label will not be in a position to market or promote them further. The distributor then will have to credit the retailers for the amount of the returns. If the distributor already has paid the label, then returns credits will be at the distributor's expense, further disincentivizing the distributor to make any further payments.
Sussex was in a particularly vulnerable position because it was sub-distributed by another independent label, Buddah Records. Buddah either advanced funds to Sussex on a line-of-credit basis, or paid Sussex an overall label advance, which Avant retained without parsing it out to any of the label's artists. Buddah also charged Sussex a high distribution fee–greater than its actual costs to distribute. It also made a margin on manufacturing costs. Avant was in a condition of subservience to Buddah and had to beseech it for money on a regular basis, much of which became unaccountable. Buddah got to recoup these amounts before it had to pay anything further to Sussex.
Compounding the problem, Buddah treated Sussex as a single accounting unit, that is, it cross-collateralized sales by all of the Sussex Records artists before it was obligated to pay anything to Sussex, even if funds advanced had been recouped. So, if Sussex had one hit artist but nine failures, then Sussex never would see any money on account of the one hit artist, because its net sales were absorbed by the other artists' losses. This created tremendous cash flow issues at Sussex, which didn't have enough resources to adequately market, advertise and promote its artists–even less so one like Rodriguez. "Sugar Man" is a catchy tune but it was off-template for the times. While I don't doubt there was plenty of chicanery at the Sussex level, one need not necessarily hypothesize this was so, because Sussex wasn't getting paid, Rodriguez wasn't selling, and there's nothing either Sussex or Buddah could do to drive Rodriguez records through the system. Rodriguez sold in miniscule quantities, far less than required to recoup the amount of recording costs Sussex incurred for the two records and some sessions for the third.
The situation internationally was not much better. This was a day and age long before the multimedia international conglomerates that now dominate the music business, such as it is. Labels licensed out rights on a haphazard, patchwork quilt-like, territory-by-territory basis. As part of its distribution deal, Sussex assigned all of its international rights to Buddah. Buddah in turn shopped all of its international rights (including the Sussex rights) around the world. For a modest advance, it licensed all of its albums for the entire continent of Africa to a company in South Africa. Buddah kept the entire amount of the advance without paying any of it to Sussex.
Africa was not considered a major territory. Many labels were unsuccessful in licensing any rights there at all. If a record became popular, record companies in South Africa simply would start printing copies of the record. Who was going to stop them? Surprisingly, though, the South African licensee did a good job in stimulating local enthusiasm for Rodriguez. Selling records is like blowing on an ember; you hope it conflagrates into a fire, but more frequently it just goes out. Through whatever combination of cultural taste, the tempo of the times, good marketing and promotion, some disc jockey liking it or other mysterious concatenation of circumstances, people started buying it. Buddah's contract with its South African licensee obligated the licensee to pay royalties to Buddah after the amount of the advance was recouped. The South African company, however, never made any such payments. There's no business reason why it should. What was Buddah going to do, go down to South Africa to sue it?
Even if money trickled from South Africa to Buddah to Sussex, Rodriguez' contract with Sussex obligated it only to pay him half of the domestic royalty rate. No such payments ever were made or received. So, as a practical matter, there was no way to extract foreign royalties either. The South African company even put together a compilation album, "At His Best," combining masters from Rodriguez' two released albums with some of those from the unreleased third album. No payments were made to Buddah on account of that record. Since it had continent-wide rights, the South African licensee may have sub-licensed the Rodriguez masters to other companies in Africa. It also may have sold finished goods records to distributors in other territories, such as Australia. Sensing action on the project in much the same way sharks sense blood in the water, other companies throughout Africa, Australia and Southeast Asia started manufacturing and distributing records, even though they didn't have a license. What was there to stop them?
The situation for music publishing should have been somewhat brighter, but it wasn't. Rodriguez' musical compositions were published by Interior Music. Under a typical music publishing deal for the time, music publishing revenue was split 50/50 between the songwriter and the music publisher. If there was a composer and a lyricist, they would share the songwriter's 50% equally, i.e. 25% each. The two primary sources of music publishing revenue were mechanical royalties on account of sales of records, payable by the record company to the music publisher; and performance royalties, payable by radio stations to the publisher's affiliated performing rights organization on account of radio airplay. Interior Music appears to have been owned by or affiliated with Avant. Mechanical royalties are set by statute. At the time, the statutory royalty rate was $.02 per song (two cents per song). A record with 10 songs on it therefore would have attracted a mechanical royalty rate of $.20, payable by the record company to the music publisher. Rodriguez' record contract, however, may have provided that compositions that he owned or controlled would be licensed at a rate lower than the statutory rate. It also may have been cross-collateralized with his music publishing contract, i.e. music publishing royalties would not be payable until recording costs and other record company advanced costs had been recouped. Even if not, Sussex never paid mechanical royalties to Interior. Why should it? Both were owned by the same person, i.e., Avant. Interior never paid Rodriguez his share. Interior was affiliated with BMI. Rodriguez should have been able to collect performance royalties directly from BMI. However, due to limited radio airplay, because of limited promotion, because of limited money, no performance royalties were reported or collected.
The situation with foreign music publishing royalties is more complicated. Rodriguez should have been able to collect them. However most likely they never were paid by the applicable record company licensee, sub-licensee or whatever company simply undertook to release records on its own account.
In conclusion, while there may have been duplicity at Sussex, most likely the reason why Rodriguez never got paid royalties is because there were no royalties to be paid. Avant's defensive reaction to the question about royalties in "Searching for Sugarman" suggests that where there's smoke, there's fire. If the scenario I've outlined is even remotely accurate, a better discursive strategy for him to employ would have been to look the interviewer straight in the eyes and tell him just that.

One comment on "What Likely Happened to the Royalties for "Sugar Man"?"
Gabri Rigotti says:
The opening sentence says it all about the writer's approach:
"The 2012 movie "Searching for Sugar Man" belatedly made a minor star out of the musician Sixto Diaz Rodriguez."
A minor star!?
For South Africans, Australians and New Zealanders, a minor star!?
Is this perhaps the view of someone from a country which would have had a population of about three hundred million scoffing at countries with populations of say 25, 10 and 5 million respectively in those days?
South Africa would have had a population at least similar to Canada then?
The sheer dismissive ignorance of the writer is incredible.
Was he here in the Southern Hemisphere, a teenager or young adult, experiencing the way Rodriguez was adored, way past the levels of most musicians and bands of the time?
All this writer needed to have done to precede what is probably an unintended indictment of the music publishing industry and corporatism of those times was to have stopped for a moment, taken a deep breath, and considered that his petty minded world view of Rodriguez as a minor star is a gaffe that those who have now witnessed his gross ignorance will never forget.

TV Topics: Economy, Kyle Petty And Digger
ESPN continues to tackle the economic issues affecting the sport head-on in the daily NASCAR Now program series. Wednesday, host Nicole Manske was joined by reporter Angelique Chengelis, analyst and Sprint Cup Series owner Brad Daugherty and Eddie Gossage, the president of Texas Motor Speedway.
The starting point for the discussion were the recent remarks by President Obama in reference to the future of the domestic car makers. "Everyone recognizes that years of bad decision making and a global recession have pushed our auto-makers to the brink," said the President. "We should not and will not protect them from their own bad practices."
He called for a re-tooled and re-imagined industry to continue in the very country that invented the automobile. Chengelis put this topic in NASCAR terms. She reminded Manske that the priority was not NASCAR, but simply survival for these companies.
"It would be absolutely devastating," said Chengelis in response to the question of the auto-makers leaving NASCAR.
She reinforced that all three of the companies have to prove to the President they are viable in order to receive financial help. "If they are not viable, I don't know how the sport can be viable," said Chengelis of NASCAR.
Daugherty is a single-car team owner and he used the word "catastrophic" in reference to the potential pull-out of the domestic manufacturers. Gossage addressed the challenge for NASCAR tracks to sell tickets by outlining the reduction in tickets prices, parking fees and change in food policies at his facility. It has been a long time since $20 bought a ticket for a Sprint Cup Series event.
Kudos to NASCAR Now for addressing the economic issues head-on. Manske also had Whelen Modified champ Teddy Christopher in the studio to recap the recent test in Bristol, TN where the Mods will hopefully race later this season. The group shattered the track record in testing and ran both with and without restrictor plates.
Over at SPEED, the network is still trying to explain how the cast of the now defunct Tradin' Paint is suddenly involved in a game show that seems to be made-up as it goes along. NASCAR Smarts is a mess and while TDP has consistently called for more fan involvement with SPEED at the tracks, this ain't it.
Traveling Kyle Petty to the Sprint Cup venues for a thirty-minute game show also does not seem to make a lot of sense from an economic perspective. Petty appears in no other SPEED Stage programs.
Finally, cawsnjaws.com reports that Digger appeared 46 times in the actual California Sprint Cup series race. That number would be 47 for those of you who watched the pre-race show cartoon. This week there is another new episode. Here is a brief overview from Fox:
In the third installment, "Picnic Trick", Digger's girlfriend Annie accuses him of watching too much NASCAR and not spending enough time with her. In an effort to make it up to her, Digger comes up with the perfect plan – a romantic picnic on the infield during the race! But when his loving gesture looks to be ruined by a visit from Lumpy Wheels, can Digger and Annie work together to save themselves and their romantic day?
That wraps-up a very diverse journey around the NASCAR TV beat. Please feel free to add your comments on these topics. Just click the comments button below.
TDP is a family-friendly website, foul language or hateful speech will result in your comment being deleted. Thanks again and happy posting.

Are We a Bottom-Up or Top-Down Health Care Nation?
Despite the conceits of New York and Boston, almost nothing starts there. In the course of my daily work, I have been overwhelmingly impressed with the extent to which America is a bottom-up society. Trends are bottom-up, fads top-own.
John Naisbitt, Megatrends, 1982
Bottom-Up Thinking
Here I shall argue that America is a bottom-up, not a top-down society; that every health care organization, large or small, rests on its own bottom; that individual self-reliance beats government dependence; that there are limits of government intervention into the health system; that government tyranny may result from control of economic decision-making through centralized planning; and that the chief danger of government economic omnipotence is loss of individual enterprise and serfdom.
America was founded on the belief that government is best that governs least, that the majority at the bottom rules over the minority at the top; that equal opportunity trumps equal results; that you cannot standardize individual behavior through government fiat; and that, in the end, market competition is more efficient than government coercion.
Top-Down Thinking
ObamaCare epitomizes top-down thinking. It does this largely through a series of mandates – individual mandates, business mandates, religious mandates, and physician mandates. The physician mandates rest on the thesis that one can calculate "value" through an interlocking system of electronic health records, that one can regulate physician behavior through centralized planning, that outside experts and managers, not physicians or patients, and that government, not markets, know best.
The Other Side of the Argument
There is, of course, another side to this argument, namely, that ObamaCare has ensured coverage to roughly 20 million previously uninsured people; that Medicare and Medicaid and ObamaCare now cover roughly 150 million Americans and are widely popular and inextricable ; that outcomes based on data are more objective than subjective judgments by patients and physicians; that the people have spoken in favor of Obama in 2008 and 2012; and that government compassion for all should override passion for individualism, which generates greed and social inequities; and that economic populism, and business ethics as exemplified by conservatives, has no. place in civilized society.
I do not know how to resolve these differences so I turned to Topsy-Turvy, my medical market guru, for guidance.
Topsy-Turvy: An Interview with a Medical Market Guru
Q: Why do you call yourself a Topsy-Turvy Medical Market Guru?
A: Because the medical markets are turning upside down. The top is where the bottom should be, and everything is inverted or reversed from where it ought to be. A guru, of course, is someone who knows everything about everything. That's me.
Q: Explain. Please.
A: Well, everything is consolidating at the top, in hospitals, health exchanges, health plans, and government but they are decentralizing at the bottom in the form of patient-centered, consumer-driven care with removal of those "silos" between different parts of the health system. Everything in the future will be "coordinated" and dictated by data, evidence, and value, as defined from the top-down but resented from the bottom-up.
Q: Examples. Please.
A: Take hospitals. They're getting bigger and bigger and will soon employ 70% of all doctors and 90% of young doctors, but hospitals are setting up offices and clinics outside their walls to make their services more convenient. Of course, all hospitals and all doctors will have electronic records. Meanwhile doctors at the bottom in private practice are a dying breed.
Take health exchanges. They are a perfect example of top-down government. By February 15, the end of their 2nd sign-up period, the exchanges will have 12.7 million members. Yet 250,000 doctors at the bottom have decided not to accept health exchange members.
Consider Medicaid. It is growing like Topsy. It will soon top 70 million membership. Even conservative states, like Indiana, are reeling in more Medicaid recipients. Yet some 30% to 40% of doctors, depending on the state, refuse to accept those in Medicaid or health exchange plans. And as many as 20% no longer accept new Medicare patients, who are growing in numbers at the rate of 10,000 a day. Bottoms-up are is down.
Think about ObamaCare as a whole. It's a budgetary sink hole , the main driver of our soon-to-be $20 trillion national debt. Yet ObamaCare is approaching a state of no return, of not going back, of irreversible government gains. It is now a creature of the IRS, who will have every American filling out a form about their insured or uninsured status, and who will penalize 6 million of us for not having a health plan.
Q: So?
A: Well, the Republicans at the top want ObamaCare reversed or repealed, but they can't because nearly 13 million uninsured are now being subsidized in federal health exchanges,.
Republicans say the top pillars of ObamaCare – individual and employer mandates – will collapse, and the whole thing will come tumbling down. Democrats claim "massive disruption" would ensue, and hospitals and health markets would suffer terrible economic consequences.
The GOP claims ObamaCare is like Humpty-Dumpty. Critics say once Humpty-Dumpty falls off the Wall, all the President's horses and all the President's men won't be able to put Humpty-Dumpty together again.
Q: Do you buy that argument?
A: No. A Peter Pan analogy is better. Peter Pan was the story of a boy who never grew up. As long as he could fly and sprinkle magic dust on everything, everything would be "fair," and everything would come out OK for everybody. Everyone would have their "fair share"of society's cake and could eat it too.
Six of 10 Americans believe in Peter Pan and magic dust. If the Supreme Court disassembles federal subsidies, 60% of people in a Kaiser poll say government should restore the subsidies and Humpty Dumpty can be put together again.
Q: Oh, Guru, are there other factors that may destroy these fairy tale myths?
A: Two.
One is the power of smart phones and the Internet. In the last quarter, 75 million people bought Apple smartphones. These people, many of whom are millenials and middle class and many of whom resent redistribution of their incomes and health benefits, may change the system bottom-side up by demanding return and evidence for their dollar.
Two is the behavior of physicians. Nearly 50%, actually 46%, give ObamaCare a D or F grade, another 30% to 40% aren't taking Medicaid or Medicaid patients, and 20% have either switched to cash only practices, dumped third parties, or are contemplating doing both.
If a fairy tale sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Life, you see, isn't fair. You have to work to make it fair, and Government, as hard as it tries, can't speak or act for you. Only you can.

Tesla Inc (TSLA) Stock Price Prediction 2022 and Beyond – Will TSLA Stock Go Up?
by Ron Fetahu August 23, 2022
written by Ron Fetahu August 23, 2022
Tesla is a name you've almost certainly heard of. Another digital behemoth that has brought enormous innovations to the automotive sector and taken some giant steps in the future of automobiles.
The history of Tesla is brief but filled with success, and in this piece, we will learn everything there is to know about it. After that, we will analyze Tesla's stock and make an attempt to forecast its future price. To learn more about Tesla and its stock, continue reading down below.
What is Tesla Inc. (TSLA)?
Tesla is a corporation that was founded in the United States and is primarily concerned with the production of innovative electric vehicles. However, Tesla also has a few interests in the battery and solar panel industries.
Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, two American entrepreneurs who were optimistic about the prospects of electric vehicles when they founded Tesla in 2003, are credited with being the company's founders. Tesla Inc. is now a massively successful tech company.
The History of Tesla Inc. (TSLA)
Elon Musk was one of the many backers of Tesla Motors at the time, and he contributed more than $30 million to the future of the company. At the time, the primary goal of Tesla Motors was the creation of electric sports cars, and the firm had the backing of a number of other backers as well.
Elon Musk was eventually promoted to the position of chairman of Tesla, which he held beginning in 2004. One of the most significant accomplishments that the firm has accomplished was the launch of their first electric vehicle in 2008.
This vehicle had the incredible capability of travelling 245 miles on a single charge, which was unheard of at the time it was introduced. In addition, the automobile had incredible statistics in comparison to comparable gasoline-powered vehicles, as it was able to reach roughly the same level of performance without the use of any gasoline at all.
The automobile was referred to as the Roadster, and it was completely emission-free. The vehicle was powered by lithium-ion batteries, which were highly pricey, which resulted in the vehicle being quite pricey for the typical consumer to purchase.
Later on, around the conclusion of the decade of the 2000s, both of the firm's founders made the decision to leave, and shortly after this, Elon Musk was appointed to the position of CEO of the company.
Elon Musk came to the conclusion that the firm needed to go public, so in 2010 they had their first IPO (Initial Public Offering) and raised a sizeable amount of capital with which to finance their ongoing and upcoming endeavours.
In 2012, Tesla began shifting its attention to different sorts of automobiles that were more affordable for the typical consumer. It was proposed that customers be provided with three distinct varieties of batteries from which they could select the one that best met their requirements.
When compared to other automobiles, which carried the battery in the trunk, the Model S placement of the battery underneath the vehicle resulted in a vehicle that was far simpler to operate than the other cars, which carried the battery in the back.
As more time passed, Tesla concentrated on making the automobile as cutting-edge as was humanly possible, and in 2014, the company debuted the autopilot system to the general public for the first time.
At the beginning of 2012, the firm also started building superchargers all around the United States and Europe. These super chargers are free of charge for anybody who drives a Tesla vehicle. This was done in an effort to maximise the profits that the customer might gain from purchasing the automobiles.
Later on, in 2015, the company introduced its Model X, which was capable of riding on a single charge for a longer period of time and also had increased passenger capacity. During this time period, Tesla also started establishing gigantic facilities all over the world known as Gigafactories. These factories ranged in size from the United States to China.
As the need for a product that was even more affordably priced increased, Tesla made the decision to launch the Model 3, which quickly became the company's most successful product and the electric vehicle that was purchased the most often all over the world.
In 2018, Elon Musk got into some trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because of certain tweets he had sent out about the firm, which led to some penalties and a drop in the stock price.
The Tesla Model Y was the most recent model when it was introduced in the year 2020. Later on in the same year, Elon Musk introduced a handful of new autos, such as the updated Roadster and the Cybertruck, which became a meme during that time period. The Model Y was a more compact version and was kind of similar to the Model 3.
Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) Technical Stock Analysis
We have found that Tesla's stock price is one of the most volatile we have ever witnessed. When the firm went public for the first time, the price of the stock was about $4, and it remained at that level for the next two years, with only very small fluctuations up to $6.
The stock price began to noticeably move throughout 2013, when it swiftly started climbing up to $30 by the end of that year. During the same year, the stock price began to truly see a difference. During that time period, the firm had its very first profitable quarter, in addition to seeing a lot of technical advancements being achieved during that time period.
The price remained relatively stable during the subsequent years, fluctuating between increases and decreases. In 2014, the price began at $37, and by the end of that year, it had grown to the $50s.
Although the new releases of the automobiles did not drive the price up as much as expected, there was still a very steady and gradual climb in price. This held true until 2019, when the firm began to experience a more significant uptick in activity.
(Tesla Inc (TSLA) stock price. Source: Trading View)
Initially, the share price started increasing at a rate that was rather faster than usual, and it continued to move in that direction until it reached a new all-time high of $72. However, this didn't last very long, and the price started falling once again until the year 2020 arrived.
When the year 2020 began, the price of a Tesla vehicle had already reached a new high peak of almost $80; nevertheless, this time it continued to rise in the same manner, steadily growing as more investors opted to purchase shares in the firm.
It reached its new all-time high in August of 2020 at $500, which was very wild compared to the price it was before this, netting the investors a lot of profit. The price increased after Tesla chose to divide their stocks, and it reached its new all-time high in August of 2020 at $500. After a little period of time, the price, however, made the decision to drop all the way down to $465.
On the other hand, ever since that moment, the cost of a Tesla has been climbing at an unprecedented rate, and this time it hasn't slowed down for a very considerable length of time. This came to an end in January of 2021, when it reached an all-time high of $900. This constitutes yet another significant increase in cost.
The share price has gone up and down a few times, and it is presently trading at $890. This is typical behavior for Tesla stocks.
Tesla Inc. (TSLA) Stock Price Prediction
Currency Prediction Tesla (TSLA) Stock Price Prediction 2022
There is still a significant amount of time before the end of the year, which is especially important for a stock that is as unpredictable as Tesla's. According to the findings of our most recent analysis, we have reason to believe that by the end of this year, one share of Tesla stock might be valued anywhere from $900 to $950, with $920 being the average.
It is possible that the coming year may be a prosperous one for Tesla (TSLA), particularly because that is the year in which it is predicted that the new Tesla Cybertruck may be made available to the general public.
This may encourage a fresh wave of investors to purchase Tesla stock, which has the ability to push the price to a high of $1150, an average of $1132, and a low of $1027.
When it comes to forecasting the price of a stock very far into the future, things get a little murky. However, after doing extensive research, the analysts here at CurrencyPrediction have come to the conclusion that the price of the stock during that calendar year has the potential to range from a low of $1293 to a high of $1311, with an average somewhere around $1256.
This is absolutely dependent on the goals Tesla has for the future. If it gets more used everywhere on the globe, as well as the new advancements that they have been able to accomplish either during that year or the year before.
It is possible that this year and the years that follow it may be highly significant for Tesla. This is especially the case if the use of electric cars and batteries increases all across the world.
The share price of the company might see a meteoric rise to a high of $1592, an average of $1520s, or a minimum of $1490. These numbers could not be accurate, particularly when we take into account the massive amount of volatility that Tesla displays as a stock.
The year 2026 has the potential to be an incredible year for Tesla as well. We believe that by that time, electric automobiles may be the norm, which would ordinarily cause the price of Tesla's stock to surge to incredible heights.
We believe that the price of a Tesla might go as high as around $1712, with a low of $1639 and an average of $1674.
The year 2027 should, according to conventional expectations, have the same level of intensity as the year 2026, with a significant number of price rises and stable but rising stock values. Throughout the course of this year, we anticipate a high of $1834, with an average of $1790.
It is anticipated that the year 2030 might be significantly different from the present, and given that Tesla was one of the first companies to pioneer the use of electric automobiles, it is possible that they might come to dominate the market.
The price may go as high as $2126, with an average of $2045 and a minimum of $1947. This would represent a potential increase that would put it beyond the 2,000 mark.
How Can I Buy Tesla (TSLA) Stock?
Regardless of the sort of stock you want to buy, purchasing stocks is a simple process. We will lead you through the process of obtaining Tesla (TSLA) stocks in the following paragraphs.
Step 1: Open a Broker Account.
Finding a trustworthy broker is crucial for you. Conduct your own research by looking at information, watching YouTube videos, and more to find a reliable broker who meets your needs.
After you've identified the best broker for you, you should establish an account on their website; this may take a few days. It is comparable to opening and registering for a bank account and registering for a broker account.
Step 2: Add Money to the Account
It should be straightforward to fund your account; simply visit their website for instructions. This can be done with a credit card or another type of payment, but keep in mind that there are usually costs involved.
Step 3: Purchase the Stock
After you've finished funding and setting up your account, you're ready to buy your chosen stock. Simply click the "Buy" button and input the quantity of Tesla (TSLA) that you wish to purchase. The technique may vary from brokerage to brokerage.
Will Tesla (TSLA) Reach $2000?
Based on our price estimates, we believe Tesla's (TSLA) share price has the potential to hit $2000 at some point in the far future. Although this may take a long time, it will result in a considerable amount of profit in the long run.
Should I Buy Tesla (TSLA) Stocks?
This is all up to you, but based on our projections, we believe Tesla (TSLA) has a bright future ahead of it. Before making any type of investment, you should always conduct your own research, and you should never put up more money than you can afford to lose.
Is it too Late to Invest in Tesla (TSLA)?
According to our study, it is not too late to invest in Tesla. Investing in anything might possibly provide a lot of money for you in the long term. Just remember to conduct your own research before investing in anything.
Tesla is a corporation that was founded in the United States and is primarily concerned with the production of innovative electric vehicles.
here is still a significant amount of time before the end of the year, which is especially important for a stock that is as unpredictable as Tesla's.
Tesla (TSLA) may have a lucrative year ahead, especially if the new Tesla Cybertruck is released then as is expected to happen.
We believe that in the future, electric automobiles may be the norm, which would ordinarily cause the price of Tesla's stock to surge to incredible heights.
To purchase Tesla (TSLA) stock, all that is required of you is a broker account that is funded with money.
Always make sure to do your own research and invest only what you can afford to lose.

Plan to start a green business, home business, or is your current small business a bed and breakfast, country inn, or rural hotel? You can cash in on the burgeoning eco-travel and huge local food movement by adding a simple boutique mini farm enterprise to your current green small business or small business plan, even on less than an acre.
Small business owners of hotels and bed and breakfasts, as well as innkeepers, can dramatically increase their business profits, word-of-mouth marketing, and attract substantially higher numbers of bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel guests by surrounding their rural or small town accommodation business with a synergizing second revenue stream – either a "micro eco-farm," or "agritourism," or both. A micro eco-farm is a small cottage or boutique mini-farm that operates for profit with eco-friendly practices. Agritourism means hosting guests on a real farm for added revenue for the farm owner. Most green bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel treatments involve green energy additions and reduced indoor toxins, and these are commendable. But the next cool green trend emerging is local sustainable food production, along with a renaissance of delicious lost heirloom, gourmet, and artisan foodie delights that are easily grown, but not provided by conventional food production.
Below we'll describe how to do it easily and successfully.
1. You'll add a huge customer draw to your bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel. Owners of hotels even in more urban settings can create their own exclusive chef gardens which are becoming very popular for 5-star restaurants. For rural hotels, bed and breakfasts, and country inns, the appeal of farmstays has grown dramatically. Purdue University reports that visits to real farms are the fastest growing segment of tourism in the country. People love to see roaming hens that produced the eggs for their breakfast, pet a few rare wool sheep that provided wool for the throws on their beds, or tour a blueberry patch and organic market garden. Small town bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel owners can set up the popular urban "chicken tractors" for fresh eggs and plant herb and flower gardens to ador their guests' rooms with bouquets and photographed potpourri. Your bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel can create a one-of-a-kind ambiance and atmosphere just like the popular Tuscany agriturismo does, only celebrating your own country, region and culture.
2. You can add income by producing farm-grown non-perishable products to sell retail to your guests. Farm grown and made strawberry jam, world-cuisine salsas, hand-woven Shetland sheep (rare miniature sheep that produce luxurious wool) shawls, herbal candles, hand-crafted goat-milk soap. Even a small town bed and breakfast with an herb garden can make saches. These items can be sold year-round online as well. Guests love to take home something tangible from their stay, and love to be reminded of their stay by continuing to purchase items for themselves and as gifts online once they return home.
3. You can further draw new customers by offering agritourism activities, once you own a real farm. Allow guests to tour your flower garden or collect their own eggs and pick their own blueberries, view the ducks or pet the goats.
4. You can generate even more sources of revenue while simultaneously getting more word-of-mouth marketing with agritourism activities that you offer for an additional fee. Offer them not only to bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel guests, but also to day visitors, or both, allowing yourself to generate income from far more than just overnight clients. For example, offer a periodical cooking class using the farm's ingredients that both overnight or day guests can pay to attend, a gardening workshop in spring where you can also sell garden starts to the local community, or give tours of the farm to school children for $ 5 a head during weekdays when you have less overnight clients. Two tours in a day with 50 kids each not only brings an extra $ 500 for the day, but kids and adult chaperones will begin generating valuable word of mouth marketing about your bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel.
5. You can cut expenses on flowers and food. The flowers and food items you grow yourself will look and taste outstanding, have the customer appeal of being locally grown, and cut your bills. Further, you can grow those exotic African jelly melons or miniature Mexican cucumbers that no other bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel offers.
6. You can stay ahead of other farmers because of your bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel. The big issue for many farmers is not just growing the crops or raising the animals. It's knowing there are enough customers waiting to buy the product. With your farm's crops serving your own bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel and its retail shop and agritourism activities, you have your own self-made market.
Start with the bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel's menu. (If you do not have a food menu, see below). Then design the micro eco-farm to produce the menu's products. This will become the eco-friendly farm that wraps around your bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel.
You may want to raise egg-laying ducks for something delicious yet different, grow raspberries, currents, or a few antique apple or Asian pear trees. You might want to add an herbal tea garden, a couple dairy sheep or a miniature dairy cow that double as a petting zoo. Your country bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel customers will love and remember the small farm setting, and it all synergizes just like the pre-industrial farms once did. The sheep, cow or ducks will provide organic fertilizer along with ingredients for breakfast omelets and creamy gourmet yogurt, the ducks and goats can eat prunings from the plant crops, and the plant crops provide customers with freshly baked raspberry scones, current jam and antique apple butter. As well, the bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel is now surrounded by a customer-appealing small farm ambiance which is supplying its high quality locally grown food at the same time. For hotel inns or other accommodation or hospitality businesses that do not serve food, the mini eco-farm can also supply products for hotel inn exclusive non-perishables to sell retail to guests, such as herbal body care products or fruit preserves.
To add this century's New Agritourism to your bed and breakfast, country inn or rural hotel, first consider what you're growing on your farm, and what activities could go along with that for your guests, such as viewing and photographing the goats, collecting eggs, or participating in an apple harvest. Do not make the mistake many agritourism farms make in assuming that every farm must have wagon rides. Today's sophisticated eco-tourists want the real thing and the one-of-a-kind. And they do not want wagon rides without the farm actually uses the wagon. Instead, they want to see what you really grow and what you really harvest. If you grow chocolate mint, show customers the garden and demonstrate how to harvest it. You do not have to add a corn maze if you do not grow corn.
Once your main agritourism activities are established, you can add to the main farm agritourism activities by considering your own hobbies or other passions you've always wanted to pursue at least part time, and see if you can tie them in. Love Italian cooking? Start a small Italian cooking school and grow a garden of Italian heirloom tomatoes. Always wanted to make candles? Grow herbs than can scent and decorate the candles, and give candle-making demonstrations to your guests. Want to renew an old massage therapist license? Grow clary sage and lavender on your mini-farm, teach guests how to make body care products with the herbs, and offer massage to your guests as a paid extra, using your own farm-grown herbal oil.
Some who want to start a business are actually beginning with agritourism first, then adding the bed and breakfast, country inn, or rural hotel later. Either way, the demand for agritourism and local food production's popularity continues to grow.
Thеrе'ѕ nо dеnуing thаt we're all ѕlowly going back to nаturе. And I mеan thаt litеrally. People nowаdаys are starting to live sіmpler and heаlthier by going bаck to the basics. How baѕic? Wеll, a lot of peоple turning to hеrbs as an alternatіve wаy of healing. Hеrbаl mеdiсinе has been around for сenturies. According to Steven Chasens, an herbalist, "Herbаl medicine hаs been uѕed as kіtсhen mеdicinе for thouѕandѕ of yearѕ, and whilе оur bоdy's respоnse to these natural treatmentѕ hаs nоt chаnged, we now have mоre global choicеs than ever." Plеaѕе keep in mіnd, however, thаt not all herbal ѕupplementѕ arе appropriate for all рeoрle, ѕo check wіth уour doctor tо see if you're in thе clear. Be sure to consult your personal physіcіan before mаkіng major changes tо your diet. Always prаctice precautіonary measures before using anу of these hеrbѕ. Consult wіth a medical professional for the best wау of using them. Thіѕ warning іs is especiallу fоr pregnant women, breastfeedіng mothers, people tаkіng blооd thіnners, peоple with high blood рressure, etc.

The Rapid City Indian Health Service Hospital formerly known as The Sioux San Hospital is an Indian Health Service hospital located in Rapid City, South Dakota. It was built in 1898 as a boarding school for Native Americans and turned into a sanitarium in 1933.

History

Boarding school
Located in the west side of Rapid City, South Dakota, it started out as a boarding school known as the Rapid City Indian School in 1898. Members of the Sioux, Cheyenne, Shoshone, Arapaho, Crow, and Flathead tribes were forced into the government institution to be taught how to assimilate into European American culture and language. Abuse, neglect, and death were prominent. Runaways were caught and dragged back to the school. It was closed in 1933.

Sanitarium
The building remained empty for many years until the outbreak of tuberculosis in the early 1900s. The building was then converted into a massive hospital called the Sioux Sanitarium for Native American TB patients in 1939. These years were the worst in its history, as documented by Madonna Swan, a Lakota woman who was held at the sanitarium between 1944 and 1950. Unlike sanitaria for white people, which offered restorative environments and experimental treatments, Sioux San was a place where Native Americans went to die. The patients were rarely allowed outdoors, and were often served contaminated food. After the patenting of streptomycin, the hospital closed in the 1960s.

Present state
The building remained empty for several years. The hospital still has numerous unmarked graves around the campus, not only of the TB patients, but also of Native American children. In 1966, after Native elders and community members agitated for better treaty-guaranteed health services, the building was reopened as an Indian Health Service clinic.

In 2009, for the first time, the hospital temporarily cancelled all regular appointments due to an overload of H1N1 patients. In 2016, Congress appropriated $117 million to renovate the hospital, and plans were proceeding to demolish some of the historic buildings.

Rabbit fever strikes two N.C. hunters
Feb. 25, 2013, 7:31 PM UTC
By Trevor Stokes
By Marc Lallanilla, LiveScience
Two men have been stricken with tularemia, a potentially deadly disease commonly known as rabbit fever. Officials believe both men were infected while rabbit hunting in eastern North Carolina.
Rabbit fever is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, according to the National Institutes of Health. Though the disease is rare, it can be fatal if left untreated. Symptoms of tularemia include fever, joint and muscle stiffness, skin ulcers, diarrhea, sweating and weight loss. People infected with rabbit fever can also develop pneumonia.
"It can make you very, very sick," Marilyn Haskell, epidemiologist with the North Carolina Division of Public Health, told the Wilson Times. The disease can be treated with antibiotics, and both men with the condition appear to be recovering.
There are several ways to contract tularemia, which is usually spread from rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, skunks or beavers: Most commonly, it is transmitted through a bite from an infected tick or mosquito, direct contact with an infected animal or from eating the improperly cooked meat of an animal with the disease.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that most rabbit fever infections occur in rural areas; about 126 cases are reported annually in the United States. Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas are particularly hard hit, as are Massachusetts, South Dakota, California's Bay Area and the Willamette Valley region of Oregon and Washington.
The illness can also infect pets like dogs and cats, as well as other mammals.

Thinking Like a Sponge
Intense weather events are calling attention to not just local but worldwide water crises caused by climate. Coastal inundation, community disruption, dislocation and recovery are problems that we seem increasingly unable to withstand. The concept of "sponge cities" are a revolutionary planning tool to integrate urban design with water management strategies such as ground conditions, road and construction patterns and more, to create responses to rapidly changing coastal conditions.
In the south Atlantic, the coincidence of warm ocean water and humid air temperature, wind and evaporation creates weather phenomenon known as tropical cyclones or hurricanes, enhanced over the past decade by changing climate circumstances into intense weather events that threaten the islands of the Caribbean, the southern eastern coast of the United States, with erratic paths of high winds and seas that inundate, flood, and flatten coastal communities mostly unprotected and today especially vulnerable as these storms increase in strength, frequency, and consequence. Recently, Hurricane Ida provided an exemplary demonstration of the power of such events, to come ashore at New Orleans, move inland, and then north east, to extend its path of devastation and dislocation, millions left without power, coastal communities inundated, and calculations of cost of recovery in the millions.
Ida was a two-headed hydro-event, first as it accelerated in the Gulf of Mexico with its gale force winds and waves, challenging dikes, levees, pumps, and other mitigation protections, and destroying property and people without discrimination. But its second strike was unexpected, and even more destructive, as it passed over New Jersey and New York City without mercy, flooding basements and subway stations, with sudden death for far too many unsuspecting and unprotected. In 2019, Hurricane Sandy had shown New Yorkers what these newly invigorated natural events could do to test protections in the city, after which steps were taken to anticipate and construct additional barriers and systems of protection. Ida proved that this effort was not enough, and shortly after Mayor Bill DeBlasio announced another "plan" as if, too late, he could deny the wind and water that will certainly come as climate impacts continue to be ignored or inadequate.
These important urban centers, built for accessibility to rivers and ports, conducive for trade and as centers of industry, are no longer safe and secure: fishing facilities and grounds, coastwise manufacturing, industry, and refining, urban and sub-urban communities existing often at or even below sea level are simply not able to withstand the power of these natural event, even more so should frequency and intensity of climate-induced storm and sea level rise continue to amplify as predicted.
What to do? What do these new evolving conditions imply for the future. How does salt water inundation and flood affect underground freshwater aquifers, infrastructure maintenance and improvement, the financial and social viability of an economy at risk by new water conditions, patterns, and succeeding events? It is going to demand an entirely new level of analysis and planning, construction methods and materials, and innovation to contain, treat, and otherwise manage the hydraulic organization of every community. To not do so, with the evidence provided by Katrina and Ida, is an irresponsible step toward decline.
These problems are not exclusive to the eastern United States, but are part of a worldwide water crisis caused by climate, yes, but also by unsustainable consumption, irrigation, pollution, and all the other challenges to hydraulic society.
Enter the simple sponge, an ubiquitous marine organism, asymmetrical and varied, a living entity adapted for the maximum efficiency of water flow, to absorb, store, and recycle fluid from which nutrition and sustainability are derived. There is wisdom and solution there.
As an example, consider Dagang, a town in the Nansha District, Guangzhou Province, China, a city vulnerable to flood disasters from heavy rainfall, offshore tide level, and the continuing effects of typhoons, the Pacific Ocean version of hurricanes. The city decided to experiment with what was called the "sponge city" concept, an innovative analysis of the ground conditions, soil absorbability, road and construction patterns, and integrated urban design driven by the necessity to manage water both retroactively (to mitigate existing conditions) and proactively to design or re-design adaptation to projection of future conditions. Dagang retained the Danish Hydraulic Institute, an international design enterprise that has developed proprietary software to incorporate numerous layers of physical, social, and financial data for a systems analysis approach to revolutionary planning. I have discussed their work often as I believe it is the most compelling planning tool for adequate, necessary, creative response to the urban problems that beset us. DHI has used the approach for local solutions as well as massive regional studies and recommendations that transcend historical reality, geopolitical boundaries, and inter-related, integrated socio-economic conditions.
The remnants of Ida passed south of where I live, with intense rainfall, no wind, saturated soil, and record erosion and water volumes in the streams and rivers, overland, over the roadways and through the culverts and the storm drains, overwhelming the limited sanitation and treatment facilities and water control systems now under-designed for the climate change defined conditions we face. My town might do well to think of itself as a sponge city, might do well to understand the regional solutions that will be required to absorb these challenges. The old methods will not serve. We need to recognize the flow of water — the freshwater ocean continuum — as the primary organizing principle for successful community. We need to adapt through invention; we need to start thinking like a sponge!

George Larry James (November 6, 1947 – November 6, 2008) was an American track athlete. At the 1968 Olympics he won a gold medal in the 4 × 400 m relay and a silver in the individual 400 m.

Biography

Early life
James was born on November 6, 1947, in Mount Pleasant, New York, and took up track in seventh grade. He attended White Plains High School, where he competed in the intermediate hurdles and the triple jump, and was a member of relay teams that set national records.

Athlete
A double medalist at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, James also set world records and won NCAA titles during his track career. James won the silver medal in the 400 m with his time of 43.97 seconds at the 1968 Summer Olympics, bettering the existing world record but placing him second behind teammate (and fellow Hall of Famer) Lee Evans (43.86). James added a gold medal at the Mexico City Games by running the third leg on the U.S. 4 × 400 m relay team, which set a world record of 2:56.16 seconds, which was eventually tied in 1988 but was not beaten until 1992.

James, at the age of 20 years and 10 months, set the 400 m world record of 44.1 seconds in placing second to Evans at the 1968 Olympic Trials at Echo Summit, California, when Evans' winning time of 44.0 was disallowed by the IAAF because he wore illegal brush spike shoes. James was a double gold medalist at the 1970 World University Games, winning the 400 m hurdles and running the anchor leg on Team USA's 4 × 400 m relay team (3:03.33). As a collegian at Villanova University under Hall of Fame coach Jumbo Elliott, James won the NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championship 440 yd title in 1970 and NCAA Men's Indoor Track and Field Championship crowns at that distance in 1968, 1969 and 1970. At the 1968 Penn Relays, his anchor leg of 43.9 was the fastest ever run in the history of the relay carnival and sparked Villanova's scintillating comeback victory over Rice University.  His finish in this race is pictured on the cover of the May 1968 issue of Track and Field News.

Coaching
The head manager for Team USA at the 2003 World Outdoor Championships, James was chair of USATF's budget committee and had recently retired after 28 years as the Dean of Athletics and Recreational Programs and Services at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. The soccer and track-and-field stadium at the College is named for him, and features a large touchstone at its entrance.

In addition to the bachelor's degree in business administration that he earned from Villanova, James received a Master of Public Policy in 1987 from Rutgers University.

In 2003, James was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.

He died on his 61st birthday on November 6, 2008, at his home in Galloway Township, New Jersey of colon cancer.

A small group of giants will be discovering the town, meeting its inhabitants and visiting its monuments.
These giant puppets (up to four meters-high) will be met asking their way with a huge map, looking for accommodation, writing outsized postcards, taking photos and invading the streets together with musicians.
Globalized tourism is sometimes perceived as nuisance or a curse in the most successful destinations worldwide, as well as a chance. Our family of wandering tourists gently satirizes these enthusiastic and sometimes cumbersome visitors.

"Is your child's vision getting worse every year? We can help!"
If your child's vision is worsening every year, you may be concerned with how bad will it become. Myopia (nearsightedness) usually begins between the ages of 8 and 18. The earlier a child's distance vision weakens, the more likely they will have a strong prescription during their high school years and beyond. Often the most rapid changes occur during a child's teens.
For decades, eye doctors and researchers have been studying the way the eyes change throughout a person's lifetime and have determined that slowing down the progression of nearsightedness (controlling myopia) is possible.
Myopia Control Treatments for myopia are based on changing the corneal surface and how light focuses within the eyes. Not only will controlling myopia prevent children from requiring stronger and stronger glasses and contact lenses, it can reduce the risk of serious eye diseases later in life such as early onset of cataracts, retinal detachments, macular degeneration and even glaucoma.
Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) Studies have found the most effective way to slow or stop the progression of myopia is with specially designed contact lenses to change the shape of the cornea. This method is commonly referred to as corneal refractive therapy (CRT) or orthokeratology (ortho-k). By wearing these lenses overnight, the cornea is essentially remolded (similar to the concept of braces for the teeth) to reduce or eliminate the need for daytime glasses or contact lenses. While adults are also candidates for CRT if they desire to be free of vision correction during the day and are not interested in LASIK surgery, the one of the greatest benefits is the reduction or stoppage of myopia progression in children and teens.


I hope you've been enjoying your independent book(s). Remember you need to read a minimum of 2 hours each week.
Do me a favor: could you please fill out this form and indicate the particulars of your book and your reading rate. You wrote those details in your writer's notebook, and on a not very official Post-It for me. I'd like to have something a bit more official on the books.
Beginning this week, in addition to your weekly minimum of two hours of reading, you'll also reflect in writing on what you've read.
Please note that if you want to write about something that is not directly related to one of the signposts, feel free! Your weekly reflections should emerge from your personal reactions to the text. Most of the time, one of the six signposts will apply since they appear in so many different stories.
The key in your reflections is to reflect in an inferential or critical manner (not literal). Do not just describe or summarize what happened; instead, explore why what happened may be significant in the story (the signposts).
Your reflections and reading progress (have you made your weekly page goal?) will be checked each Monday. Remember, your reflection is due at the beginning of class every Monday (or IR day).
Your first reflection is due Monday, October 19.
Also: I'll be checking in on your reading goal (what page your on, etc.) every three weeks. I'll be awarding 10 points for consistent reading, but less for readers who are falling behind on their goal.
Expect to give a 5-minute book talk before the end of each marking period.
Write a weekly, 1+ page reflection in your Writer's Notebook about your book.

Short Straw is a cafe located in Hawthorn, an area known for its cafes. It does a range of great brunch and lunch dishes so we checked it out one weekend.
To start off we ordered the Matcha latte and Peanut butter smoothie with banana, peanut butter, chocolate, almond milk, honey and cinnamon. The matcha latte was nice and authentic, it had a good combination of sweet and bitter flavour while the smoothie was one of my favourite ones I have tried so far, the peanut butter was rich and creamy and the honey and cinnamon added good flavour.
Next we ordered three dishes to share, the first was their signature, the Saffron and caramelised banana waffles injected with wild strawberry coulis topped with lemon curd, whipped cream and chocolate macarons. You cant come to Short Straw and not try this delicious and gorgeous dish, the chocolate macarons were a creative touch and the whipped cream was light and nicely contrasted by the strawberry coulis.
Next we ordered the Poke Bowl with multigrain rice, cured sesame seed salmon, sweetcorn, soybeans, avocado, wakam and ponzu dressing. The salmon here was simply delicious, perfectly cured and full of flavour and it was so nutritious as well, definitely the perfect summer dish!
Finally we tried the The Short Straw, the dish named after the cafe, which consisted of the sweetcorn and zucchini fritters with sliced avocado, tomato chilli chutney and whipped goats cheese. I found the fritters to be a little dry but I did enjoy the tomato chutney and the whipped goats cheese.
Overall, Short Straw is a creative cafe that does a great range of brunch and lunch food and drinks. Definitely pop by if you are in the area and try their waffles, you wont regret it!
Loveatfirstbite_aus dined as guests of Short straw. All opinions are our own.


It's time that we accept something. It might be a little weird at first, but it's a pretty big deal.
Instagram is no longer just for teenage selfies and pictures of gourmet dishes. No, it's become a legitimate tool that can be really valuable for businesses.
If you're not already on Instagram, don't panic. There's still plenty of time to jump on the bandwagon. And you don't have to be ready to start posting pictures all willy-nilly in the next five minutes. It might take some time to get used to it, but there are plenty of advantages to turning your business into an Insta-business.
Instagram is not a place for posed portraits or pictures without a story. Save those for the marketing brochures that go to investors who talk in dollars and not imaginations.
If you want to build a following on Instagram, build it up with some personality. Post eye-catching images with captions that actually mean something. Don't be scared to use a hashtag or ten. There are sites to use to cultivate your buttoned-up business image. This is not one of them. Keep it PG and don't do anything you might regret. Just remember that being fun and lighthearted is what Instagram is for.


I am really happy to be posting again and hope to get back into a posting routine very soon. So, Christmas and New Year have been and gone and it's back to normality for all of us (which in a way is a good thing). For this post I wanted to share with you the books I have either received or brought between Christmas and New Year. I am hoping to do a haul post once a month from now on, as I have read others and find them really enjoyable to read. I won't go into much detail about each book, but will leave the links to each book's Goodreads and Amazon pages so you can check them out if you wish!
A Frozen Heart by Elizabeth Rudnick - I received this as a Christmas present and as I am a massive fan of Frozen I was instantly impressed. The book is a retelling of the story of Frozen from the perspectives of Anna and Hans which seems for pretty good reading if you are a lover of this franchise. Goodreads / Amazon.
Once Upon a Dream by Liz Braswell - This was also a Christmas present which I was pleased with and is another retelling of a Disney Classic - Sleeping Beauty. What if the Princess never woke up? It seems really interesting and I can't wait to delve into this retelling. Goodreads / Amazon.
Mad Girl by Bryony Gordon - This book I got free from work (the perks of working in a book store) and I was instantly curious about it. It's non fiction for starters and I have been reading a lot more non fiction lately and it's also about mental health which is something I struggle with. It is a memoir of telegraph columnist Bryony Gordon and her struggles with OCD, depression and drug use. I have actually already read this and a review will be up soon. Goodreads / Amazon.
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon - This book I also got free from work and to be honest the title is what drew me in. From what I've heard about this book is that it's a coming of age story about community. Something that I wouldn't normally be into, but I'll give it a go. Goodreads / Amazon.
The Muse by Jessie Burton - This is the last book I received from work. I'd heard a lot about Jessie Burton so was wanting to read her work. The Muse seems really intriguing and unlike anything I would normally read. Looking at the reviews of this book, however, I am really excited to read it. Goodreads / Amazon.
Fairest of All by Serena Valentino - I brought this myself (yup shock!). This is a story about how the Evil Queen from Snow White became well..evil. I love origin stories and I can tell I am going to love it. Goodreads / Amazon.
Poor Unfortunate Soul by Serena Valentino - This is another origin story of a Disney villain - this time Ursula from The Little Mermaid. I find Ursula to be an incredible character so to read her origin story is going to be fab. Goodreads / Amazon.
Girl Online Going Solo by Zoe Sugg - My boyfriend got me this for Christmas and I was pleased to get it. This is the third book in the Girl Online series and follows Penny Porter as she starts to live a normal life again. I have read it and will be doing a review. Goodreads / Amazon.

Plugging Gaps in Power Use
By: Renee Boucher Ferguson | February 05, 2001
IT taps new data tools to cope with deregulation
New planning, measurement and analysis software is giving the electric utilities industry a beacon of hope for dealing with energy deregulation.
New products from Lodestar Corp., Enermetrix and Henwood Energy Services Inc. are providing IT managers at utilities and corporations with tools to deal with shifts in energy markets.
While promising to bring more efficiency to the markets, deregulation has created an upheaval that is forcing electricity generators and distributors to try new ways of doing business. It has also forced IT managers generally to plan for unexpected power outages that can sap the strength from their e-businesses.
And with half the states in the country having passed energy deregulation laws, IT departments in all types of businesses are looking for better ways to manage the data related to their electricity purchases and use.

Microsoft Puts FPGAs to Work for Azure and Bing
Some utilities are turning to companies such as Lodestar and Enermetrix, which offer energy management software for the retail and wholesale industries.
Lodestar last week unveiled its Transaction Management Hub, which is designed to meet the energy transaction and load management needs of ISOs (independent service operators), RTOs (regional transmission operators) and energy providers. The hub enables customers to configure their own business rules that involve the input and output of complex pricing, financial and energy consumption data, according to officials at Lodestar, in Peabody, Mass.
Shell Energy, a 2-year-old startup and affiliate of Shell Oil Co., is offering natural gas and electricity to deregulated marketplaces. Currently operating in Georgia and Ohio, the company has plans to expand across the United States, according to Shell Energy CIO Tim Byers.
Byers implemented Lodestars BillingExpert, part of the developers Customer Choice Suite for Retail Companies, to help facilitate billing and load monitoring. The software also lets Byers integrate his supply, forecasting, billing and financial management applications.
However, Byers didnt start out with that plan.
"We were originally paying a consultant money to build out a unique package," said Byers, in Houston. "It was a little naive on our part to imagine that we could build a complete package. We realized pretty quickly that wasnt the way to go."
Byers chose the Lodestar software because of its rate language and because its metadata model allowed for relatively easy reconfiguration in price plans and table structures.
"When you go into a state with different rules and regulations, you may very well have to make changes to the underlying structure," he said.
In addition to its packaged software, Enermetrix operates an online exchange where ISOs, RTOs and other energy traders can buy and sell electricity and natural gas.
John Zbihley, president of OnDemand Energy Solutions Inc., an energy management services provider based in Pittsburgh, is a big proponent of Enermetrixs namesake transaction management software and trading network. OnDemands customers are midsize and large businesses that spend $100,000 or more on energy annually.
In the past three years, Zbihleys business has grown almost 10 percent, to more than $100 million in energy transactions.
"There is no way we couldve completed those types of transactions in a manual way," Zbihley said. "You need a network, and you need software to get it done."
For those utilities still planning for deregulation, Henwood, of Sacramento, Calif., sells deregulation simulation software. The company late last month announced a partnership with Hymet Inc. to offer weekly hydroelectric forecasts for the volatile electricity market in the Northwest.
Houston-based Conoco Inc. uses Henwoods workstation software to set up market scenarios and simulate a certain models impact on the market.
"Under deregulation, there is all this focus on RTOs, and depending on the structure of those, there will be implications on how power flows," said Stephanie Russares, manager of power market analysis at Conoco. "This model will allow you to simulate those impacts."
Managing the flow of electricity is not just for utilities anymore. For companies that are fairly adept at managing risk, Gerald Keenar, a consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers, in Chicago, suggested they look into real-time metering and control of their facilities to figure out where to reduce energy demand.
Keenar also suggested that companies look at opportunities to sell power back into the market—an option that is available only in deregulated markets.
Select Energy Inc., in Berlin, Conn., which uses Lodestars billing, load management and settlement applications, is itself a provider of energy management software that allows customers to monitor their energy use in real time.
Jim Grace, manager of information operations at Select Energy, said he is able to bundle some of Lodestars efficiencies—the ability to price hourly or subhourly consumption—and pass on that information to his customers.
Select also uses Lodestar to price commodities that are directly linked to the wholesale marketplace.
"So our customers might buy a block [of electricity] from us, and anything above that they would buy on the open market," Grace said. "This offers flexibility to get a better price."

Q: How to enter data directly to make a data.frame representing a contingency table? I'm trying to directly enter the following data into R (which represents a contingency table)
Area        School    Coffeshop    Hospitals    Parks    Totatl
Washington     142          120           20       20       302
Seattle        120          140           30       40       330
Total          262          260           50       60       632

My code is this:
n<-c("Area","School","Cofeeshop","Hospitals","Parks","Total")
x<-c("Washington",142,120,20,20,302)
y<-c("Seattle",120,140,30,40,330)
z<-c("Total",262,260,50,60,631)
data<-cbind(n,x,y,z)
data<-data.frame(data)

A: Your code is full of basic syntax errors, please try and copy-and-paste directly from the script you are using. (I really hope you have not done this here).
If you combine character and numeric variables in the same vector, it will create a character vector, which is not what you want.
Try something like
vec_names <-c("School", "Cofeeshop", "Hospitals", "Parks", "Total")
Washington <- c(142, 120, 20, 20, 302)
Seattle<-c(120, 140, 30, 40, 330)
Total <-  c(262, 260, 50, 60, 631)

ctable <- rbind(Washington, Seattle, Total)
colnames(ctable) <- vec_names

# ctable is a matrix at the moment, with the rownames identifying
# Washington etc

ctable_df <- data.frame(ctable)

# ctable_df is now a data.frame.
# if you want area as a column in your data.frame (not just row.names)
CTABLE <- data.frame(area= rownames(ctable_df), ctable_df, row.names = NULL)
CTABLE
        area School Cofeeshop Hospitals Parks Total
1 Washington    142       120        20    20   302
2    Seattle    120       140        30    40   330
3      Total    262       260        50    60   631

A: Using tribble from tidyverse
(see tidyverse tibble for more details)
install.packages("tidyverse")
library(tidyverse)
ctable <-
tribble(
  ~Area, ~School, ~Coffeeshop, ~Hospitals, ~Parks, ~Total,
  "Washington", 142, 120, 20, 20, 302,
  "Seattle", 120, 140, 30, 40, 330,
  "Total", 262, 260, 50, 60, 631
)
ctable
# A tibble: 3 x 6
  Area       School Coffeeshop Hospitals Parks Total
  <chr>       <dbl>      <dbl>     <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 Washington    142        120        20    20   302
2 Seattle       120        140        30    40   330

Write review for this product
The Call of Duty franchise returns to its origins with another release set in World War 2. This game is one of the most anticipated first-person shooters of 2017.
Buy Call of Duty: WWII
Call of Duty: WWII is a first-person shooter video game available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Microsoft Windows. The game is developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. The game was released on November 3rd, 2017. Call of Duty: WWII is the 14th game in the Call of Duty franchise.
Game setting and plot
Call of Duty is returning to its historical roots with Call of Duty: World War II. From the beaches of Normandy, to the Hürtgen Forest, the player will be able to experience a dramatic story that highlights some of the most dramatic and iconic moments of World War II. As a young soldier who is facing the unforgiving reality of war alongside his brothers in arms. The main focus of the game is the actions of a squad from 1944 to 1945, but in order to help set the stage for the narrative and establish the characters, the game will also touch on some events from 1940 to 1944.
Players will be playing as Ronald "Red" Daniels, a young United States Army private. They will experience how he and his squad, United States 1st Infantry Division, trek through the European theater of war. In order to achieve victory, the player must fight alongside a global and diverse cast of characters from the Allied forces, most notably soldiers from United Kingdom and the French Resistance.
Apart from the familiar multiplayer modes like Team Deathmatch and Domination, Call of Duty: WWII will come with a new multiplayer mode called "War". In this game mode, the player joins either the Axis or Allies in a scripted scenario. For example, there is a mission where Allies forcers are escorting a tank through an Axis-controlled area with the Axis team defending. The objectives vary from protecting the tank to building a bridge. This game mode lives up to the idea that WWII is a game for young grunts struggling to survive.
More great news regarding the online community is that there is a new feature that will help the player interact with other players in Call of Duty: WWII. This feature is called Headquarters. In Headquarters the player can test weapons, his aiming skills, challenge players to 1v1 duels in a pit, and more. The Headquarters will be able to host up to 48 players at a time, and it will provide a great social space where players can hang out while waiting for a match to start. With a promising single-player campaign and the intensity and variety of its multiplayer, Call of Duty: WWII is set to go down as one of the series' best entries yet. With Team Deathmatch being a total blast, and the new War game mode, the fans have every reason to be excited!

Total amount of credit, total to be repaid or total principal owed is the actual value of the loan taken by the borrower. Car loan providers use this amount for calculating monthly installments.
Additionally there are other parts such as deposit and administration fees. In the case of PCP finance, there is an additional component called final payment or GMFV.
Suppose you are looking at a new Honda Civic Hatchback, worth around £15,000. You want to buy this car under PCP finance. There is an administration fee of £100 and a cash deposit of £1,000. Final payment or GMFV is £4,000. In this case, your total to be repaid is £10,100 (£15000+£100-£1000-£4000). The financing company will use this amount to calculate your monthly installments.
Suppose you want to buy the same Honda Civic Hatchback and intend to pay a higher deposit of £2,000. All the other terms are the same. In this case, your total to be repaid is £9,100 (£15,000+£100-£2,000-£4,000) and it will result in lower monthly installments.
Let's take an example if you want to buy this new car worth £15,000 as an exchange on your current PCP plan. Your PCP is expiring, and you are set to receive a GMFV of £3,000 on your old car. In such a case, the £3,000 can serve as part exchange value towards a new car, and so you will have to pay £3,000 less on the £15,000. To make the deal sweeter, the dealer may offer you £1,000 extra on your old car. This surplus of £1,000 can also serve as part contribution to the new car. So the total to be repaid will include the new car price + administration fees and deduct the old car's GMFV and surplus and also, the new car's GMFV.
In this scenario, your total to be repaid will be only £7100 (£15000+£100-£3,000-£1,000-£4,000). This is assuming there's no additional cash deposit. In case there's a deposit, this amount will be reduced further. Moreover, the monthly installments will be calculated on £7,100.
Why is it important to calculate the total to be repaid?
Total to be repaid plays an important role when buying a car. When buying a new or used car under PCP, you should try to keep the total to be repaid as low as possible as this will result in lower interest and thus lower monthly installments. You can even settle the loan faster by going for higher installments in a shorter period.
These are just a few examples of total to be repaid. You can make your own calculations using our free PCP calculator.


My journey through the 12 week course with Christina has completely changed my life! She taught me that being healthy is a complete lifestyle. She helped re-wire my thoughts on food to see it as nutrition instead of a comfort. I now find myself reading the nutrition and ingredient labels in the grocery store. I didn't do that before. I now can have comforting food that is nutritious as well! I have to say that this was a terrific experience and working with Christina was wonderful! She is very accommodating, she will customize the program to fit your needs, and she is very friendly and understanding. I love how she would strive to present a solution if I were struggling a bit, and she would encourage me in the best way possible. I highly recommend Christina to be your health coach! She is passionate about health, and she is terrific at what she does! Thank you Christina!
Christina did a wonderful job coaching me on nutrition. She has a LOT of knowledge about the right foods to eat and is willing to search out things she doesn't. It was a pleasure learning from her.
It has been very beneficial working with Christina. She helped me become more aware of my eating habits and has provided excellent strategies that I can apply daily. I am forever grateful.
