Wave and Tidal Energy Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth, and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Global Wave and Tidal Energy Market: Snapshot
Harvesting of wave and tidal energy has been there for last few decades, however, it has only been in the last few years that it has gained utmost significance owing to advancement in research and technology in the field. Some people think that wave and tidal energy is capable of providing at least 10 percent of the total consumption of energy. The amount of power that can be produced is dependent on the wave activity.
Mentioned below are the devices invented for harvesting of energy from sea currents and waves. The list does not include all of the devices and each of these devices come with their own drawbacks and benefits such as efficiency, social impact, cost per Watt and its effect on the environment.
The global wave and tidal energy market is primarily driven by the augmented funding provided for the development of various wave and tidal power related projects. Aggressive initiatives like strong government incentive schemes and policies and enabling development of large-scale projects in phases are offering scope of growth for the market. The global wave and tidal energy market is marked with the presence of several medium and large-scale projects of renewable energy production. Furthermore, companies that are operating in the global wave and tidal energy market are involved with the generation of wave and tidal energy are start-ups funded by government as well as private agencies
The global market for wave and tidal energy is on a path of a prosperous growth. The increasing consumption of electricity across the globe – both in established and emerging economies – is expected to substantially drive the overall development of the global market. Some of the other key factors responsible for the growth of the global wave and tidal energy market can be termed as the accelerated deterioration of the traditional resources of power such as natural gas, coal, and oil. Also, the increasing concerns about the excessive polluting nature of the techniques of energy production that consists these and other fossil fuels. The growing focus on the new developments in the techniques of power generation that are based on cleaner and more sustainable source of energy such as wave and tidal energy as well solar energy is also expected to provide a fitting answer to all the above mentioned problems and thus, drive the overall development of the global market for wave and tidal energy.
The global market for tidal and wave energy makes use of the effective strategies and techniques to make most of the one of the largest and unending source of energy – ocean and wind. These sources of energy are sustainable as well as environment friendly. The wave and tidal energy harnessing technology serves as two of the current times' vital ways to make most of the inexhaustible resource of energy available to us.
Global Wave and Tidal Energy Market: Overview
With effective strategies and technologies, ocean could be used as one of the largest and inexhaustible sources of environmentally-neutral and sustainable energy. Wave and tidal energy technologies serve as two of the present times' key ways of harnessing energy from oceans. Wave and tidal energy technologies are relatively new power generation technologies with significant scope for development in the near future.
As research and development activities focused on the commercial development of clean energy resources intensify, the two sectors are expected to witness significant market growth in terms of technological advancement and rise in terms of investment and installed capacity in the near future. However, owing to their emerging nature, further development of wave and tidal energy technologies requires constant support from government bodies in terms of subsidies and encouraging regulation.
Global Wave and Tidal Energy Market: Trends and Opportunities
The rising consumption of electricity across developed, developing, and well as less-developed economies is undoubtedly the primary factor encouraging developments in the global market for wave and tidal energy. Other important factors driving the market include the shrinking banks of conventional power resources such as oil, natural gas, and coal, and the rising concerns regarding the highly polluting nature of energy production techniques that involve these and other fossil fuels. The increased focus on developing power generation techniques based on cleaner and sustainable energy sources such as solar power and wave and tidal energy is mostly an attempt to find a fitting solution to the aforementioned concerns.
Global Wave and Tidal Energy Market: Market Potential
The market for wave and tidal energy is treading along an encouraging growth path, Home to the world's oldest commercial-sized tidal power plant, the market for wave and tidal energy in Europe continues to lead the way. The market in Europe is seeing an increased number of projects being announced or going live on an encouraging pace, with the highly anticipated Swansea Bay tidal lagoon in the U.K. and the MeyGen tidal array project in Scotland swiftly nearing completion. Owing to an impressive line-up of old and new projects, several potential sites capable of housing large-scale wave and tidal energy projects, and an encouraging regulatory framework, the Europe market is expected to present growth opportunities for companies operating in the wave and tidal energy market in the next few years.
Global Wave and Tidal Energy Market: Regional Outlook
Europe is presently the leading contributor of revenue to the global market and is expected to witness significant developments in the next few years. South Korea is expected to lead in terms of the tidal barrage technology and is expected to add more capacity alongside the Shiwa Lake Tidal Power Station, presently the world's largest tidal power station, to its wave and tidal energy output. Boasting only a few sites where tidal energy can be harnessed at a commercial and economical cost, the U.S. lags behind in the market with no commercial tidal plants till now. Developments in the area in Asia Pacific are expected to remain limited to mostly China and Australia.
Global Wave and Tidal Energy Market: Competitive Analysis
Despite being at a nascent stage of development, the global wave and tidal energy market features a fragmented competitive landscape. Over 200 companies presently function in the market, most of which have operations in the area of development of energy converter technologies. It is difficult to project whether or not the competitive landscape will achieve consolidation in the near future. However, for small companies to make a mark in the global market, strategic alliances with special purpose project companies would be imperative.
Some of the leading players operating in the global wave and tidal energy market are Ocean Renewable Power Company LLC, Pelamis Wave Power Ltd., AquaGen Technologies, Tenax Energy, Carnegie Wave Energy Ltd., Atlantis Resources Ltd., Ocean Power Technologies, Inc., Aquamarine Power Ltd, Marine Current Turbines Ltd., and S.D.E. Energy Ltd. (WERPO Wave Energy).

Our libraries are disappearing at an alarming rate under the Tory-led Coalition's cuts, a survey reveals today.
Two libraries every week have been handed over to volunteers, turned into social enterprises, or closed for good since last April.
And those spared the axe are seeing fewer books on the shelves, opening hours cut and hundreds of staff made redundant in the relentless drive to save money by cash-strapped town halls.
The disturbing findings by Britain's biggest public sector union Unison come ahead of a major rally and lobby of Parliament tomorrow by a new campaigning alliance called Speak up for Libraries.
Spearheaded by Unison, the group includes Women's Institutes, Voices for the Library, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals and other campaigners fighting to keep them open.
They urge the Government to enforce the law that local authorities must provide a "comprehensive and efficient" library service.
They want recognition libraries are especially vital during a recession as those hardest-hit are the elderly, disabled and unemployed.
As one campaigner said: "There are many older citizens who visit the library for the company and as a means of keeping their heating bills down in the cold winter months.
"And with free internet access in our increasingly digital age, people who would otherwise be excluded from some services have a means of staying involved."
Also tomorrow, Culture Minister Ed Vaizey will be interviewed by the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee as part of its inquiry into library closures.
Just last month it was estimated by librarians themselves that 600 were under threat – out of the UK total of 4,612.
Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: "In true Tory style, it is those with the least that will pay the price.
"Books are expensive and people with young families are struggling to put food on the table let alone buy books for their children. And libraries help the unemployed to find work by stocking newspapers and providing computers.
"Even those still open are being cut to the bone. This is a disgrace. The Tory-led coalition should not be allowed to get away with consigning libraries – and improvements in literacy rates – to the history books."
But Flick Rea, who chairs the Local Government Association's Culture, Tourism and Sport Board, said: "After carrying out vital frontline services like caring for the elderly, child protection, collecting bins and filling potholes, what councils have left to spend is far less than it used to be.
"Councils are not accepting defeat and closing libraries, they're looking at innovative ways to keep providing quality services such as opening libraries in shops, working with volunteers, basing them in community centres which also provide jobs and training, and sharing costs with neighbouring authorities."

A prayer of grief, shown to me by @kathyescobar
A prayer of grief, shown to me by @kathyescobar
St Placid Priory, Lacey, WA
Here at St Placid Priory, my ongoing discoveries in the contemplative enterprise have been eye-opening, soul-expanding, and at the risk of hyperbole, even a little mind-blowing. And, although I will never grow appreciably better at navigating these things, they are the stuff of life's best acquirements.
But, for all that, I admit I'd likely not make a good career contemplative. Those brave and hardy souls who risk it all to face God so closely, so regularly, are a breed unto themselves. The monastic experience is so rich and good – for a time.
However, I also need my present reality – a corner chair at a local Starbucks. This lively interchange of strongly felt opinions (poorly considered in many cases), postured pretensions, all with a sprinkling of social anxiety, is just as real. Equally fraught with the beautiful danger of God-among-us. In true Celtic fashion…

St Placid Priory – Lacey, WA
Six miles of damp, spongy pavement pounded out this morning. Running – the healing constancy of deep, rhythmic breathing. So good in this environment. It's little wonder that Portland, Oregon is America's running capital. Every back road, trail, and alley is afoot with runners. It houses Nike corporation and its disciples, of which I am, apparently, one of the faithful. I'm a committed convert to the marriage of time, distance, and pain.
Baffling to non-runners, it is, in its own way, contemplative space. And, these days in particular, as I struggle once more on the longest road, the one leading toward daily sobriety, it becomes apt metaphor in the slow process of change.
Hanging like a shadow over it all are those who would pooh-pooh this whole sober-running enterprise, suggesting in my case that it is classic avoidance – the via negativa of…

I've just returned from a short time away. A fuller version of my silent retreat at St. Placid Priory in Lacey, Washington is forthcoming. Until then, may this Friday be the kind of day where the scale tells you a fairytale and not the truth, you are complimented at least once, and nothing rides up.
In short, where everything brings you joy!

Too many surfboards and not enough space? The Hi-Port 2 is your answer. Not only does it free up garage, boathouse or shed space by occupying the under utilized overhead space, but it will also handle a small fleet of boards. With 150 lb. capacity and vertical adjustability, the Hi-Port 2 is purposed designed to cradle as many surfboards as you're willing to stack!
Fits a wide range of collections:
Stackable board setup: Drop the center post to full extension and you'll have 18" of height between ceiling and arms; plenty of room to stack multiple boards. Each of the 2 posts is individually mounted so board length won't be an issue, whether you have a 7' surfboard or 15' SUP.
Removable arms for boards up to 36" wide: The removable arms extend 25" from the center post and attach at a slightly upward angle. This allows you to confidently place boards or wide fishing kayaks up to 36" wide on each set of arms.
150 lb. capacity for large collections: Store up to 75 lbs. per side, plenty of support for your standard kayaks and enough to allow SUPs to be stacked.
3-point adjustability:
Extension/retraction post minimizes space used: The center post can drop down to maximize storage (18" board/boat space from ceiling), or retract (10" board/boat space from ceiling) to allow for greater clearance beneath the rack. Mounting holes at approximately 1" intervals allow for your optimal setup. "Low bridge" clearance (maybe you want to park a car beneath the rack?) is approximately 12" below the ceiling.
90 degree mounting rotation to use on any ceiling: This is a big one since kayaks and boards can be very long and garages have joists that only run in one direction. The Hi-Port 2 opens up new possibilities by allowing you to mount the rack with arms running either parallel or perpendicular to the ceiling rafters.
Removable, padded arms: If only using one side, allows the post to be mounted against a wall.
Heavy duty, steel construction:
NEW (2018) upgraded hardware: Listening to customer feedback, we've upgraded our hardware to heavy duty screws that install easier.
Suitable for outdoor use: Coated steel components will hold up against the elements, so go ahead and mount under a deck or boathouse.
"No slip" padding: Full length arm padding won't slip or roll, but will grip your boards or kayaks.
Gated pins prevent accidental movement: Post pins lock in place with an integrated gate to fully secure the posts.
Exclusive Patent Pending Design
Hey! This is Josh from StoreYourBoard, here today with the Hi Port 2, a double ceiling rack.
Right here, I have it alone in front of me. It's basically two pieces that can slide up and down, and then you have the arms on either side to hold your boards and your kayaks.
It fits together like this, so that's it's most compact. It hangs down from the ceiling about a foot, and you have about 10 inches of storage. If you want to keep it nice and tight to your ceiling, you use that. You put your stuff, your surfboard nice and tight and drag your car into your garage or whatever you need, you have plenty of room.
If you have a bigger kayak, you want to stack a couple of boards, you can go ahead and extend it out. You can get up to 18 inches here of storage and it hangs down about 20 inches. Then there are holes all in between, so you also include a locking pin. You just wind it up, put it through, and you latch it to be secure.
Like I said, it's a double-ceiling rack, so it comes out either. I'll show you another board here in a second. It comes out to your side, but the arms are like this, nice seal padded arms. They simply attach, push the button, and you're in. You're locked in.
If you want to use one side, you can use one side. You can use two; you put both on. If you're not using it in the offseason, you can take both off. It gives you a lot of flexibility.
The other really cool thing about this is because the way ceiling joists are, some run this way and some run this way, the way we designed this is this, and turn it either this way and your board is this way, or you can go 90 degrees like that and then you can orient with the joist, the stud, and the screws into the joist, and then the boards can be whichever direction you need.
I'll show you here, the arms fit on just like this. Hi-Port 2 is great for all types of boards and kayaks, so the kayak here, I'm going to put a surfboard up. We recommend about 36 inches is the maximum width, and then because these are independent, you can basically go however long you want, so if you have a really long touring board, touring kayak, 18 feet, that should be fine. You just mound these farther apart.
One of the key dimensions, this is a 25-inch arm, but you can hang it out a little bit more, so you get basically a 36-inch wide standup paddleboard, kayak, whatever you need. We also have a maximum 100-pound weight rating on this, so between whatever you're putting up here, keep it at 100 pounds or below.
I'm going to go ahead and put a standup paddleboard on now. You just slide it right up like that, so you can walk below. You got great overhead storage. If there's often underused storage area of your house, your garage, put your boards, put your kayaks on your ceiling and get your house organized.
Go check it out at StoreYourBoard.com.
The racks we exactly what I needed. Perfect product.
I purchased the Hi-port 2 storage rack to store my boards up and out of the way in my garage. Delivery today was fast and the rack is super sturdy and high quality. I would definitely recommend this storage rack. Also its cheaper from www.storeyourboard.com than it is on amazon. It was delivered free in 2 days.
Perfect for the garage!!! Currently holding two longboards and two shortboards.
went together and mounted easily, plenty sturdy for a pair of longboards on one side and an enormous old SUP on the other. highly recommend!
Works great for my paddle boards. I'm happy to be able to walk around in my garage again.
Just finished installing my High Port 2 ceiling rack. It was easy to install and was the perfect solution for storing our paddle boards. I initially ordered a wall mount rack which wasn't going to work once I decided on the location. I contacted customer service to reorder the High Port 2 and they were very accommodating. Thank you for a great rack and even better customer service.
It arrived as advertised and was easy to install. Works great.
Well made, sturdy, and easy to mount!
it was very easy to put up and the instructions were laid out great. It took me less than 20 minutes to mount and it works perfectly for the kids kayaks and the paddleboard.
Was able to easily install this in the ceiling of my garage. Opened up a ton of space.
This rack was a little tough to put up bc i was doing it by myself on a ladder and had to manually hand crank the lug bolts in. Also broke a drill bit off in the pilot hole, etc, so the typical disasters that plague me when i try to be 'handy.' Finally got the rack up with 2 boards on each side, and it is working well. I can't actually reach my boards though, but that is because i am too short. Now i need a pair of StoreYourBoard GoGo Gadget Lift Boots. :)
fits 2 kayaks perfectly - very easy to install and awesome design!
$5 cheaper on your site than Amazon! That is good on many levels. Easy to install. The rack itself is not flimsy and is very solid. Maybe I will get a new surfboard so I can get another rack. Thanks
As advertised rack is now supporting two longboards 9'+ and two SUP's in my single car garage. Freed up lots of floor space for....more boards!
My spouse's review may not be as rosy as mine once she realizes what I'll be doing with the extra space...
This was super easy to install and takes about 10 min. It works great, looks good, and leaves you with options depending on what you need to store. Good job guys, your product exceeded my expectations.
The installation was easy. I had it up in a short amount of time. The lag bolts this product comes with broke so I had to buy some different lag bolts.
Our old racks were a great improvement over the original clumsy 2x4s. However, due to mounting limitations on our garage ceiling, my hubby always had to duck under them.
We have an 8' garage ceiling and a 6'6" man. He's used to ducking in public places, but at home we arrange things so he can stand tall. Except for that one portion of the garage....
We received the Hi-Port 2 racks and were delighted to realize that he gained an exceptional amount of head room even without mounting them perpendicular to the joists in our garage, which was one of the compelling features about this new product.
Oh, Happy Day. Check out my man standing tall with our new Hi-Port 2 racks! Although you see only two boards pictured here, rest assured you could really stack 'em up with these adjustable arms.
Thanks ever so much, faithful friends at StoreYourBoard.com!

Why INFINITY
24 comments:
Simple and Short but excellent in content . Good post!ReplyDelete
:) now that is highly phylosophical .. how you intertwined knowledge with maths and all infinifty :)ReplyDelete
knowledge indeed can be infinity as each day we learn something knew and that adds to our knowledge for sure
A very high and great thought! Infinity has many dimensions which is difficult to imagine with our normal human intelligence, it needs some extra awareness ( I think ) :)ReplyDelete
Well said! Its true, infinity is just another word!ReplyDeleteReplies
Right you are DannyDelete
Infinity here, infinity thereReplyDelete
Take infinity from infinity, infinity remains...

great post both in content and the picture is awesome too :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Saikat... :)Delete
Hmm, Sorry to disappoint you. Perhaps its because of expectation I had. I came to this post expecting some scientific explanation, so felt disappointed. However, what you said surely makes sense from a philosophical point of viewReplyDelete
nicely written..but i was hoping for more..broReplyDelete
good post...ReplyDelete
A post on infinity and in finite words. Enjoyed it thoroughly. For me infinity reminds me that it is a journey of learning with no end in sight but fun is in journey!ReplyDelete
gr8 thoughts ...i lyked d post!ReplyDelete
So elegant! So simple!! Scientific and Artistic!!! Congrats!!!ReplyDelete
Of course, I don't patronize any branded god more than a figure of speech., as they have created enough trouble.
I'd have loved longer post on this topicReplyDelete
There are many ways of conceiving this infinity concept. I appreciate the four line crisp contemplation of yours. Knowledge is infinite agreed. It is just a channel that takes to God, the enlightenment. And God who is the ultimate giver of infinite wisdom.Hence obliging with your argument "God= knowledge= infinity" sounds illogical.ReplyDelete
Well try to reflect love and God, you will relate infinity!

Distance of Point to a Lines-
The general equation of a line is given by Ax + By + C = 0. Consider a point P in the Cartesian plane having the co-ordinates (x1,y1). The distance from point to line, in the Cartesian system is given by calculating the length of the perpendicular between the point and line.
In the figure given below, the distance between the point P and the line LL can be calculated by figuring out the length of the perpendicular.
Draw PQ from P to the line L.
The coordinate points for different points are as follows:
Point P (x1, y1), Point N (x2, y2), Point R (x3,y3)
The line L makes intercepts on both the x – axis and y – axis at the points N and M respectively. The co-ordinates of these points are \(M (0,-\frac{C}{B})\)
Area of Δ MPN can be given as:
Area of Δ MPN = \( \frac{1}{2}~×~Base~×~Height\)
\(\Rightarrow Area~ of~ Δ~MPN\)
\(\Rightarrow PQ\)
In terms of Co-ordinate Geometry, the area of the triangle is given as:
Area of Δ MPN = \( \frac{1}{2} \left [ x_{1} (y_{2}-y_{3}) + x_{2} (y_{3}-y_{1}) + x_{3} (y_{1}-y_{2})\right ]\)
Therefore, the area of the triangle can be given as:
Area of Δ MPN \(= \frac{1}{2} \left [ x_{1} (0 + \frac{C}{B}) + (-\frac{C}{A}) ( -\frac{C}{B} -y_{1}) + 0( y_{1}-0 )\right ]\)
\(\Rightarrow Area ~of~ Δ~MPN\)
Solving this expression we get;
\(2~×~Area~ of~ Δ~MPN\)
Using the distance formula, we can find out the length of the side MN of ΔMPN.
\(MN = \sqrt{\left ( 0 + \frac{C}{A} \right )^{2} + \left ( \frac{C}{B}- 0 \right )^{2}}\)
\(\Rightarrow MN = \frac{C}{AB} \sqrt{A^{2} + B^{2}}\)
Equating equation (ii) and (iii) in (i), the value of perpendicular comes out to be:
This length is generally represented by \(d\)
Distance Between Two Parallel Lines-
The distance between two parallel lines is equal to the perpendicular distance between the two lines. We know that, slopes of two parallel lines are same; therefore the equation of two parallel lines can be given as:
The point \(A\)
The perpendicular distance would be the required distance between two lines
The distance between the point \(A\)
\(\Rightarrow d \)
\(\Rightarrow d \)
Thus we can conclude that the distance between two parallel lines is given by:
If we consider the general form of the equation of straight line, and the lines are given by:
\( L_1 ~: ~Ax~ + ~By ~+ ~C_1\)
\( L_2 ~: ~Ax ~+ ~By ~+ ~C_2\)
Then, the distance between them is given by:
Thus we can now easily calculate the distance between two parallel lines and the distance between a point and a line. To know more about co-ordinate geometry stay connected with us. Join us at www.byjus.com to know more.

On social media, you're constantly battling with millions of brands, news outlets, and celebrities for the attention of users. From a killer content strategy to eye-catching creative, you think you have the battle won. Or do you?
Is my post too long?
Ever ask yourself that question? If not, you better start. With less than five seconds to grab the attention of the user, the length of your content is just as important as your as the post's subject matter. We know, it's easy to get caught up in what you're writing about. But when do you stop helping your brand and start hurting it? Thankfully, we did some digging to compile the recommended length for post copy across social media.
How long should a Facebook post be?
40 – 120 characters
It may surprise you, but 40 characters is the ideal length for a Facebook post (Jeff Bullas). You read that right. Posts with 40 characters or less received 86% higher engagements than longer posts. And it's not just Jeff Bullas reporting this. A similar report compiled by SumAll and Buffer not only confirmed that posts with 40 characters are the top performer, but posts with 80 characters or less also received 66% higher engagements.
Don't panic. This doesn't mean that writing a post that has 81 characters is going to get destroy your metrics. A study by BlitzLocal looked at nearly 120 billion Facebook impressions and found that while performance tailed off as posts grew longer, posts with 140-160 characters still preformed well.
How long should a Tweet be?
71 – 100 characters
Twitter, a platform known for its character limits, actually recommends sharing content that is shorter than 100 characters. Check out a quote from Twitter's best practices referencing research by Buddy Media:
Creativity loves constraints and simplicity is at our core. Tweets are limited to 140 characters so they can be consumed easily anywhere, even via mobile text messages. There's no magical length for a Tweet, but a recent report by Buddy Media revealed that Tweets shorter than 100 characters get a 17% higher engagement rate.
And it's not just Twitter and Buddy Media reporting this. Track Social studied 100 well-known brands on the social platform and found that the sweet spot for engagement was actually right around 100 characters.
Tweet, but a recent report by Buddy Media revealed that Tweets shorter than 100 characters get a 17% higher engagement rate.
And it's not just Twitter and Buddy Media reporting this. Track Social studied 100 well-known brands on the social platform and found that the sweet spot for engagement was actually right around 100 characters.
How long should a LinkedIn post be?
25 Words
Research has shown that users on LinkedIn, the professional social-media network, are more likely to read and engage with longer content. The report by Compendium studied posts from both B2B and B2C companies. They found that 16-25 words was the optimal length for B2B, while for 21-25 words was the optimal length for B2C.
How long should an Instagram post be?
~140 Characters
Unlike Facebook and Twitter, there hasn't been a strong correlation between success on Instagram and post length. This is most likely the result of Instagram being an image-focused social media platform. Simply Measured identified that the average Instagram post was around 138 characters. Because of this, we recommend keeping image copy around this length.
Ok, I know the optimal lengths. Now what?
Now that you know the optimal length of social posts, it's time to test and discover what works best for you and your brand. Remember, these statistics should serve as more of a guideline to what performs best on social media. Your brand may find that more or less copy tends to perform better.
How will your brand implement this information into your social media strategy?

United's problems were there for all to see as Juan Mata's opening goal on 17 minutes proved a unique scoring opportunity while their lack of a commanding centre half was exploited by an unmarked Jack Rodwell for Sunderland's equaliser.
They now find themselves five points adrift of early Premier League pace-setters Tottenham Hotspur, who were Sunday's big winners with a 4-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers that ensured Harry Redknapp suffered a second straight defeat and a miserable return to his former club.
In Sunday's other game, Hull City played most of the match with 10 men and came within six minutes of holding on for victory over Stoke City, but were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw.
With the transfer window edging towards a close, United were handed another reminder that nothing but significant investment in a squad that lacks depth and strength will spark an improvement in their fortunes after last season's woes.
They lacked penetration in attack with little pace or incision and while Mata tapped home following a driving run and fizzing cross from Antonio Valencia, the Spaniard was largely ineffective as a central playmaker.
As English media reported United were nearing a deal for Real Madrid's Argentina winger Angel Di Maria, many United fans were perhaps wondering if the more pressing concern lies at the back despite defender Marcos Rojo's arrival midweek.
It was Robin van Persie who let Rodwell run and jump unchecked to head Sunderland's leveller on 30 minutes, but in centre backs Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and youngster Tyler Blackett, United seemed to lack the presence of a leader.
For new manager Van Gaal, who has already claimed it will take a miracle to propel United to the Premier League summit, Sunday's woes stemmed from midfield.
"We have one point and that is not good enough for Manchester United," the Dutchman told the BBC.
"We have to work a lot. The players are very disappointed after the game because we thought we would win.
"The purpose of the game is to create more chances and score goals. We haven't created more chances. You have to recognise the fight of the opponent.
"We have reached Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie a lot of times, but after that you need the support of the midfielders, and the combination was not good enough."
Goals were not in short supply at White Hart Lane where players condemned as costly mistakes last season starred in a 4-0 victory.
Nacer Chadli, among the expensive patchwork of players recruited when Gareth Bale left for Real Madrid, scored Tottenham's first and third while record signing Erik Lamela was pivotal in a playmaker role.
Eric Dier profited from a Lamela corner to net Tottenham's second, scoring for the second time in two weeks, and Emmanuel Adebayor rounded off the scoring with a crisp low finish.
For Redknapp, sacked by Spurs in 2012 after leading them to fourth in the Premier League, an experiment with three central defenders backfired spectacularly with Tottenham scoring three times inside the opening 37 minutes.
"We didn't play well. We got what we deserved, which is nothing. We didn't play with enough energy and I thought we were in awe of Tottenham a little bit," Redknapp said.
Hull had James Chester sent off after 14 minutes against Stoke for a lunging last-man tackle, but opened the scoring before halftime when Nikica Jelavic finished from close range after a Tom Huddlestone shot was only parried by Asmir Begovic.
The Tigers' hopes of winning back-to-back league games for the first time in 11 months were shredded when Ryan Shawcross scrambled the ball over the line after a Phil Bardsley effort hit the post.
The equaliser left Hull boss Steve Bruce fuming that a throw-in was given against his side earlier in the move.
"It baffles me. It is an awful one," he said.
"The throw-in was ours and blatantly ours. It is not as though it is a faint touch, their boy does not even want to turn round for a throw. You would think they get that right because it has cost us."

2. TGTG's contact information and customer service
Too Good To Go ApS
Lindgreens Allé 9, 1.
2300 København S
CVR-nr. 37561304
Email address: email@example.com
3. Products
TGTG is exclusively arranging the contract between the Customer and the Store and TGTG has no responsibilities in respect of the Products or fulfilment of the contract between the Store and the Customer.
TGTG does not, in any way, manufacture, sell, purchase, store, prepare, produce, process, mark, pack, deliver or handle the Products. TGTG has no responsibility for the fulfilment of the contractual obligations towards the Customer or the Products, including the manufacturing, sale, purchase, storage, preparation, production, processing, marking, delivery, quality, ingredients, allergens or handling of the Products, and the compliance with applicable legislation, including with respect to the above.
The Customer can find information about the Products and a description of the Products on the Platform.
The description is only instructive and for the purpose of giving the Customer the best prerequisites for evaluating selected Products before making the purchase. There may be instances where the Platform is not updated and where the actual product range, stocked item etc. is not as stated on the Platform. In such cases, TGTG is of no liability. Stores are responsible for providing information about the Products and ensuring that it is factually accurate and up-to-date. TGTG does not undertake any such responsibility. If the Customer is in doubt about allergy warnings, contents of a dish or any other menu information, the Customer shall confirm with the Store directly before ordering.
4. Ordering of Products
A list of Stores can be found in the app. If the Customer has allowed the app to use location services, the app will track the Customer's location and the app will show a list stores near the Customer. Once the Customer has selected the Store and Product, the Customer will be given the opportunity to submit his or her order by clicking "buy", "reserve", "place my order" or a similar button. It is important to check the Store and Product before clicking or selecting this button; once the Customer does so TGTG will start processing the order and errors cannot be corrected.
The supply of Products on the Platform is only an invitation to the Customer to place an order.
Upon receiving the order, TGTG will begin processing it by sending the order to the relevant Store. TGTG will notify the Customer, that the order has been received and is being processed. Please note that any confirmation page that the Customer may visit on the Platform merely indicates that the order has been received and is being processed and does not mean that the order has been accepted by the Store. Thus, the agreement between the Customer and the Store is not final until the Customer has received a receipt in the app ("Order Confirmation").
Please note that due to the nature of the Concept, Products may be sold out. TGTG accepts no liability in this regard. The Store may cancel the order placed by the Customer until two hours before pick-up time. If a Store cancels an order the Customer will receive an email and an SMS (provided that the relevant contact information given by the Customer is correct).
5. Order Confirmation and invoice
After placing the order, the Customer will receive an Order Confirmation by email and on the Platform. This means that the order is accepted (subject to cancellation as set out herein). The Order Confirmation should be saved by the Customer. The Order Confirmation will contain information regarding the order placed by the Customer and the Customer's name, address, payment information, the Products ordered, price, terms of payment, time and place of pick-up and a link to the Terms accepted by the Customer.
6. Price
All prices are indicated in the currency of the country in which the Store is located and include applicable VAT but may exclude any online payment administration charges, unless otherwise specified. Any fees related to the order and payment will be calculated and listed when the Customer places the order. Errors in prices indicated on the Platform can occur.
7. Payment
The Customer can pay with several brands of debit and credit cards as well as other payment methods made available on the Platform.
If using a credit or debit card, the Customer must enter his or her card number, the expiration date and the security code when placing an order. Before adding any credit card information, TGTG will ask for the Customer's consent for TGTG to save the credit card information for future purchases. The saved credit card information can always be deleted in the app by the Customer. TGTG will only keep a payment token to process your payment.
The Payment Service Provider needs to collect payment information (credit card information), as it is necessary for the adequate performance of the contract with you and to comply with applicable law (such as anti-money laundering regulations), without it, you will not be able to use the TGTG platform.
Upon placing a purchase order, the amount stipulated by the Store for the Products ("Purchase Price") is reserved on the Customer´s account according to the chosen payment method ("Account"). The Purchase Price is charged to the Customer´s account after pick-up of the Products. The Purchase Price is collected by TGTG from the Customer on behalf of the Store. TGTG may amend, modify or restructure the payment procedure for its Customers, as it deems reasonable.
The Platform uses PCI compliant Payment Service Providers. Payment by debit or credit card on the Platform is safe and certified by the card issuer. All payments are made through an encrypted internet connection.
If the Customer's credit card or payment method is rejected when trying to pay for an order, the Customer should verify that the entered information is correct.
In some cases, TGTG may receive an error code when a Customer's credit card or payment method is rejected. The error code makes it possible to identify the cause of rejection. In order to give the Customer the opportunity to correct the error, TGTG may inform the Customer in the app about why the credit card or payment method was rejected.
If the Customer has corrected the error and the credit card is still rejected, TGTG recommends that the Customer contacts his or her bank.
Due to standard banking procedures, once the Customer has submitted an order that is paid for by credit or debit card and the payment has been authorized, the bank or card issuer will reserve the full amount of the order. If the order is subsequently rejected by the Store or cancelled for any other reason, the bank or card issuer will not transfer the funds for the order to TGTG and will instead refund the Customer by releasing the relevant amount back into the Customer's available balance. However, this may take up to 10 working days (or longer, depending on the Customer's bank or card issuer), and TGTG does not have authority to make enquiries to a Customer's bank or card issuer on specific payment issues - he Customer must do so.
By accepting these Terms, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that TGTG is not responsible or liable to the Customer in relation to the above.
8. Pickup
Products ordered on the Platform must be picked-up by the Customer at the stated pick-up address. The pick-up time will normally be a time period of 10-30 minutes but can be both shorter and longer. Store description and details about when and where the Products can be picked up will appear on the Platform and in the Order Confirmation. If the Customer arrives at the pick-up address before the specified pick-up time, the customer should wait outside for the sake of the Store's customers. If the Customer arrives late, the Store may be closed. Customers are requested to show respect for the Store´s guests and personnel. Any unacceptable behavior may lead to the Customer being banned from the Platform and the Store.
If the Customer does not pick up the order on time, the Store is entitled to sell the Product to another party, without any liability to the Customer, and TGTG is entitled to charge the Purchase Price from the Customer.
Upon pick-up, the Customer must show his or her Order Confirmation in the TGTG app to the Store's employees, after which they will "swipe" the receipt and hand out the Products ordered. It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the Order Confirmation in the app can be shown at pick-up. The Customer is required to make sure that the Products and number of Products delivered correspond to the Customer's order.
TGTG is not liable or responsible for any failure to perform or any delay in the performance of any obligations relating to the Products or Services.
Further, TGTG is not liable or responsible for any failure or non-compliance with respect to its Services if such failure is caused by circumstances outside TGTG's control. Such circumstances include but are not limited to disruptions in the operation of TGTG and/or the Store as a result of legislation, acts of state or public authorities, acts of war, terrorism, strikes, physical blockades, lockouts and natural disasters.
9. Right of cancellation
Since the Products are perishable goods, the Customer is not entitled to cancel the order less than 3 hours before the time of pick-up or after the time of pick-up.
However, the Customer may cancel the order up to 3 hours before the beginning of the pick-up time. The decision to use the right to cancellation shall be communicated by the Customer to TGTG within the app or via email at the email address stated in clause 2. If the Customer complies with the above the Purchase Price will be refunded by TGTG.
If the 3-hour limit is not met, the Customer will not be entitled to cancel the Order, nor will the Customer be entitled to a refund.
Due to the nature of the Concept, TGTG or the Store may cancel the order up until 2 hours before the time of pick-up in the event the Store does not have any surplus food. In this case, the Customer will receive a cancellation notification from TGTG or the Store via email and/or SMS provided that the contact information provided to TGTG is correct. The Customer will not be charged by TGTG.
The reason for the cancellation rights described above is to ensure that the food is used and thereby to limit food waste.
10. Right of complaint
The Products are covered by the Danish Sales of Goods Act.
It is advised, that the Customer verifies the content of the deliveries upon receipt.
In case of a complaint, the Customer shall contact TGTG by sending an email with the order no. and information about the Products and why the Customer is unsatisfied. After receiving the complaint, TGTG will process the complaint in cooperation with the Store if relevant and the Customer will receive a reply from TGTG within 10 business days.
In case the Customer is not satisfied with TGTG's reply, the Customer may submit a complaint to the Danish Forbrugerklagenævn or the Danish Consumer Ombudsman.
11. Customer reviews
In particular (but without limitation), any reviews that the Customer submits through the Platform may not:
contain any defamatory, obscene or offensive material;
promote violence or discrimination;
infringe the intellectual property rights of another person or legal entity;
breach any legal duty owed to a third party (such as a duty of confidence);
promote illegal activity or invade another's privacy;
give the impression that they originate from us; or
be used to impersonate another person or to misrepresent your affiliation with another person.
The prohibited acts listed above are non-exhaustive. TGTG reserves the right (but does not undertake, except as required by law, any obligation) to remove or edit at any time any reviews posted, uploaded or transmitted to the Platform if TGTG determines that the review breaches one or more of the prohibitions mentioned above, is otherwise objectionable or may expose TGTG or any third parties to any harm or liability of any type, or for any other reason.
The reviews contained on the Platform are for information purposes only and do not constitute advice from TGTG. Reviews reflect the opinions of customers who have ordered through the Platform or other third parties, and any statements, advice or opinions provided by such persons are theirs only. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by law, TGTG assume no responsibility or liability to any person for any reviews, including without limitation any mistakes, defamation, obscenity, omissions or falsehoods that the Customer may encounter in any such reviews.
12. Customer behaviour
If a Customer in any way misbehaves, insults the employees or other customers of a Store or TGTG, commits a crime against or in the Store or TGTG, violates the code of conduct rules of the Store or TGTG or conducts similar behavior, TGTG may, at TGTG's discretion, ban or suspend the Customer from the Platform and the Services.
13. Intellectual Property
The Customer may use the Platform and print and download extracts from the Platform for his or her personal non-commercial use on the following basis:
The Customer must not misuse the Platform (including hacking or "scraping").

I'm getting ready for a quick trip to Ohio to meet my new nephew, but I wanted to get my Photo Friday posted so I'm not too far behind again. I can't wait to hold sweet baby Bryson and get some newborn snuggles in! But first up, here are some photos of the number one little boy in my life. I took these the other day while we were getting ready for church. He had just taken a shower and his hair looked so red because it was still damp. I saw my camera sitting out and decided to grab it and take a few quick shots. He was busy playing Minecraft on his Kindle, which he does daily for his allotted hour of screen time, but I figured I might as well have a photo of it! A few months ago he discovered his daddy's old Calvin and Hobbes books and they are his new favorites so I snapped a photo of him reading when he ran out of screen time. I want to remember that when he was 10 these were the things he liked to do. I love that sweet boy so much and wish he would stop growing up so fast! I swear it was like a week ago when he was a newborn. I'm trying to savor what time I have left. Here are my favorites this week.

Photo Friday 2017 ~ Weeks 15, 16, 17 & 18
Well, another massive fail on my Photo Friday posts! I need to reevaluate and maybe it should be a once a month project. I need to set more attainable goals for myself. Anyway, I do have a bunch of photos to share as we've had a lot going on in our lives. My girl had a dance recital for her co-op class where she did a group dance and a solo. Her solo was so cute and she did great! I love watching her on stage. My brother and his family were in town for spring break and we had a ton of fun hanging out at the beach with them and going out to dinner and just watching the kids enjoy each other's company. The boys put up a tent in my mom's backyard and 'camped' for a couple of nights. The Easter bunny visited them all at our house and we had an egg hunt at my mom's before they had to head back to Ohio. Then we got busy finishing up school for the year and I had a bunch of photo shoots so I've been busy editing photos like crazy. The kids still have to finish up math but all the other subjects are done for the year! Yay!! My girl has been walking dogs a bunch and making lots of money and she even had her first real babysitting job recently (with kids, not dogs). She's been babysitting at our Friday morning Bible study and that has gotten her more comfortable so I see lots more of those jobs in her future too. Other than that we've just been doing random pool days and hanging out with friends in our free time. We are looking forward to everyone else being out of school so we can have some beach days too. Maybe I'll remember to take my camera and blog about some of them. ;) Here are some of my favorite photos from the past month!
I'll hopefully update you again next week! Hopefully being the operative word, ha!
I love these photos of my sweet boy! I did a photo shoot with my niece and nephew while they were here and I took my kids too so I could get some of the 4 of them together. I'm so glad I did because they all turned out great! He found a stick there and he is holding it in every photo, but I'm not gonna lie, I kinda love it because it's so him.
Ummm, I know I'm their mom and I'm blinded by love but my kids are gorgeous.
Current favorite photo. These were their Easter outfits.
Just some cute pics from Easter with the girls. My girl kept throwing jelly beans and catching them in her mouth.
Some pics from my girl's dance recital. She wore her Easter dress for her solo. Good thing I love that dress since I have tons of photos of her in it.
These are from today. My girl and the Baby Buffers. She's the baby of the family now. We are getting her groomed on Tuesday and I can't wait for her cute puppy haircut again.
I'll hopefully update you again next week! Hopefully being the operative word, ha!

After months of rejected offers and dueling media statements, Cypress Bioscience (NASDAQ: CYPB) says today it has agreed to a buyout-and-merger deal that will combine the San Diego drug development company with Royalty Pharma, a New York firm that holds a revenue-generating portfolio of drug royalty interests.
Ramius V&O Acquisition, an affiliate of the $7.8 billion Ramius hedge fund group, upped its offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Cypress that it does not already own for $6.50 a share—or about $255 million on a fully diluted basis. The sweetened price represented an 8.3 percent increase over its previous offer, and was unanimously approved by the Cypress board, according to a statement.
The offer that Cypress finally accepted was about 63 percent higher than the original unsolicited buyout proposal at $4 a share that Ramius made in mid-July, and about 160 percent higher than the Cypress' share price on July 16, the last trading day before the Ramius offer was publicly disclosed.
"Royalty Pharma has proven to be an extremely valuable partner in our acquisition of Cypress," Ramius Partner and Managing Director Jeffrey Smith says in the statement. "Their expertise in investing in and acquiring royalty interests has allowed us to structure a unique and efficient transaction that we believe clearly maximizes value for all stockholders."
"We are excited to add the Savella royalty to our diversified portfolio of leading biopharmaceutical royalties and look forward to working with Cypress management to enhance the value of the company's pipeline assets," says Royalty Pharma CEO Pablo Legorreta in the same statement. "As the leading investor in biopharmaceutical royalties, we have a long history of working in partnerships with biotech companies and their management teams."
Cypress acquired the exclusive rights to milnacipran (Savella) for any purpose in the United States and Canada in 2003 from Pierre Fabre, the French specialty drugmaker. Milnacipran was first approved in France for the treatment of depression. Cypress went on later, in January 2009, to win FDA clearance along with Forest Laboratories to start selling the drug for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Cypress announced in August that it was ending its commercial business, including milnacipran, as part of a reorganization. But the company retained its rights to milnacipran.
Daniel Petree, the lead independent director at Cypress, says the board spent more than two months conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the company's strategic alternatives. "After thorough and extensive analysis with our financial advisors, Cypress' Board unanimously concluded that this transaction with Ramius and Royalty Pharma provides significant cash value to our stockholders and is in the best interests of our stockholders, customers and employees."

Host a House Party for Libraries
Become a library activist and host a house party for libraries and help libraries win!
Become a library activist and host a house party for libraries and help libraries win!
Help libraries win!
A houseparty is a great way to connect with other library activists, neighbors, coworkers, and friends and educate them about why Libraries are so important for communities and about how EveryLibrary is fighting for libraries of all kinds. We are all working together to help libraries reach their full potential to help communities. One of the most effective ways to help libraries succeed is by throwing a house party to support libraries through EveryLibrary.
What is a house party?
House parties are gatherings of people who come together to learn more about the fight for American Libraries and the ways that EveryLibrary can work to support libraries in order to ensure a healthier, more vibrant, and more desirable community. But, the most important thing is to have fun and get everyone to join in the fight by signing up to get involved in EveryLibrary's work to support libraries.
People just like you can host a house party and you don't need any special skills because we'll show you what you need to do. All it takes is a little planning and organization and a passion to support libraries. The best parties are the simplest and they don't need to complicated or overly planned. Some house parties are nothing more than potlucks where people can connect and learn about EveryLibrary and find ways to work together to support libraries. Typically, all you need are food and drinks and some signup sheets to collect everyone's information but you can also do a lot more!
Why host a party?
Houseparties are important because they help us build the resources we need to win. People are more likely to sign up to support libraries or make a donation if they're encouraged to do so by their friends, family and colleagues. These parties provide an opportunity to connect and build national voter support for libraries through our work at EveryLibrary.
What else can I accomplish?
If you'd like to do more or if you're a more experienced community organizer, EveryLibrary can help you take even more action to build national support for libraries.
We would love to see house parties take the time to phonebank to raise the money and build the support that we need to win. If you're interested in phonebanking, we will supply you with a list of phone numbers to call. We'll even give you the scripts you need to be successful. Phonebanking can be used either for fundraising to support EveryLibrary's work or to ask people to join our email list or sign the pledge to support libraries or one of our petitions at action.everylibrary.org.
It's also important that we talk directly with the public about the importance of libraries. That's why we encourage you to take the time to encourage your attendees to write letters to the editor in your local papers. These letters can talk about the importance of libraries, how libraries had a profound affect on you or your attendees, or how libraries improve communities. You can find the strong list of local newspapers here.
How do I host a house party?
Select a date
- Check for local library campaigns to see if there are any in your area that might make your friends more excited to attend your house party, as well as potential conflicts. There are also many national and state issues that you can help organize around. Contact us to find out about local issues in your area. If there is a local library campaign, let's talk about how you can support that campaign too!
Choose your venue
- Most house parties will take place in someone's house. However, the location will help determine how many people to invite. You can invite 5 people or 500; whatever makes you feel the most comfortable is the right number.
Invite your guests
- Set a goal for how many people you want to attend. Remember that not everyone you invite will be able to attend, so invite about double the number of attendees you actually want to show up to be sure to hit your goal.
- You can invite local librarians and library staff, Friends or Foundation group members, your family, friends, coworkers, people you know through civic or community groups, members of your religious community, and your neighbors. Cast a wide net to ensure you get anyone who might be a supporter.
- The best way to get people to attend your event is to pick up the phone and call them. There's just no substitute for a personal phone call. But definitely use email, social media, and any other method you can think of to reach out to your networks.
- Ask them to RSVP so you can get a firm headcount for your event. You definitely want to re- confirm everyone's attendance a few days before the event, and remind them you're getting ready for them. That will make every attendee feel special and more likely to attend your house party.
- If you like, identify a few friends to act as co-hosts and to help you spread the word and invite the people in their networks to attend if you've got space to fill.
Plan your agenda. Here's a possible agenda for your party. But don't worry, these are just suggestions—you know your attendees best, so customize until it works for you.
- Introduce yourself, and share some reasons why you believe that libraries are fundamentally important in American communities and share ways that your attendees can support libraries through our Action.everylibrary.org website. It's from this page that you can encourage your attendees to sign up to support libraries or make donations.
- Make sure that there's plenty of food and drink so that your guests will have a great time.
- If you have good internet access and a place to show it, you might show the latest video about the work that we're doing from our Executive Director, John Chrastka. If you're hosting a houseparty but don't want to show the video, we highly suggest you watch it because it includes a great overview of our work and excellent talking points for you to know about the fight for libraries in the United States
- Take a few minutes and brainstorm how you and the attendees can work as part of the campaign for American Libraries. You can work together to set goals and responsibilities for what you can do in your area. Specifically, think of ways that you can all work to get more people in your area to sign up to support libraries or make a donation at action.everylibrary.org.
- Take action! Get your attendees involved by asking them to write a letter to the editor, phonebanking, and directly asking their friends and family to sign up to support libraries or make a donation at action.everylibrary.org. If you're interested in having your guests phone bank for you, we will send you the call lists and the scripts you need to teach them in order to be successful. Please send us an email so we can get those supplies to you as quickly as possible. Just an hour of phonebanking with 10 people can reach hundreds of Americans.
- Use a signup sheet to get information and have your guests fill it out to collect contact information such as email addresses. The most important goal from your party is making sure we can continue to engage your guests and get them involved so we can continue to take action on behalf of libraries.
- If it makes sense for your party, feel free to ask your guests to support EveryLibrary by making a donation. Guests can make donations online to our campaign for libraries at action.everylibrary.org. Larger one-time donations are fantastic for our campaigns and smaller monthly donations make sure that we can continue our work in the future.
- Remember that the costs associated with the party must come from donations or your personal funds. EveryLibrary is currently using all of the funds we have to support the over 250 libraries that will be on the ballot this November.
After the party
- It's not over! Make sure you send thank you notes to everyone who attended. Or, if you give us their names and addresses, we would be happy to send them a thank you postcard on your behalf.
- Don't forget to make an "ask" to your guests, whether hosting an event of their own, donating, or volunteering. If your guest made the commitment to come to your event, they might be willing to make more commitments to you, the campaign, and libraries across the country. Make the ask, because chances are, your friends will say yes.
- Report back to us about your plans, successes, and even any failures! We want to hear from you to make these as successful as possible.
We want to thank you so much for your support. Just getting this far means a lot to libraries across the country. Please take the next step and host a houseparty to support libraries!

The harbour wall at Rutland Water and harbour itself have seen some tremendous sport this week, with anglers recording double figures of fish in a session.
Quality rainbows up to 3½lb have been taken, along with specimen browns, but, of course, brown trout are out of season and must be returned straight away.
Bank areas have been Barnhill Creek, Old Hall and Armley Wood to Carrot Creek, where there are large numbers of corixa present in the dying weed beds.
Some anglers taking the stealthy approach in the margins have recorded fish very close to the bank to dries and suspender hares ear.
Standing back from the water's edge and creating minimal disturbance is the key to this style of fishing.
Whitwell Creek has also produced a few fish, with reports of good numbers of fish seen.
On the boats rudder anglers have had good sport doing long drifts in the main basin using tube flies and snakes, a wet cell 2 or di3 have been the go to lines.
Loch style anglers have done well along the Normanton bank and also across at Sykes Lane.

Bad Cashflow: It's Kryptonite for Business
We all know having money is good. What we may fail to grasp as fledgeling business owners or entrepreneurs is just how important having regular money is.
While doing the big jobs and winning work that is worth thousands of dollars sounds significant, if you don't have the little ones to fill the gaps, you may find yourself in a world of pain.
My work is very one-off project based work that ranges in costs from the low five-figures to the mid/high five-figures. Being in one of the oldest industries in the world, my clientele is very used to paying for services on an hourly basis.
The problem I found with that, was that I couldn't send out a fee until I had undertaken the work. Which meant that as the business owner I was carrying the costs until the end of the project, which can sometimes be many, many months.
As a new business, that is just plain stupid.
1. Incremental Billing
All that pain and anguish could all be saved by simply billing incrementally, say at the end of each month, or fortnight.
I've actually flipped it around and am now having client's pay incrementally upfront, and I've found the key to doing this, is to manage their expectations.
Therefore, I am now providing them with a one-page visual at the beginning that outlines:
• the various stages
• the timeframes for each stage
• points where they will need to provide input
• set markers for when they will need to make payment
This is all included in my engagement agreement, so everything is upfront, and I've been very surprised with the positive uptake and all my clients are enjoying gaining more understanding of the process.
The other positive to this is that as my fees are now set, the administration team can prepare the fees earlier, so they go out quickly and efficiently.
Many banks are now offering direct debit facilities as well, so you can provide that service to your customers.
2. Manage the expenses
The other side to cash flow is the payment of money, watching your bank account head south can be heartbreaking, not to mention terrifying when there isn't much left in there.
My suggestion here is to circumnavigate the mountains; you want to try and avoid those large one-off payments. They are killers to cash-flow.
Wherever possible, make monthly payments. Pay for software on a monthly basis, rather than those big upfront payments. Pay for your motor vehicle registration every six months until cash flow becomes more regular.
3. Surviving the lean months
We all know that there can be a lag between sales and receipt of payment. But the bills aren't going to magically disappear nor are they going to change their due dates because you may not have cash in the bank.
You have to hold enough cash to get you through those lean months when the flow may not be there.
The best way to do this is to build up some cash reserves. This is the part where you need to roll up your sleeves and dive into those dreaded numbers that your accountant or bookkeeper deals with for you.
Don't stress; they aren't scary, and if you do this well, you won't need to look at them for long. Start with your expenses, work out what an average month's worth of expenses and repayments are.
To be safe multiply that by three and that is the amount you would like to have sitting in your bank account on a regular basis.
Make sure you prioritise the importance of cash to your business.

Ervamatin Shampoo cleanses the scalp and hair, helping to combat excess sebum, one of the main causes of dandruff and female hair loss. The unique and special formula leaves the hair soft and shiny, with a natural appearance and a pleasant scent.
Due to its natural ingredients, the shampoo can be used daily and causes no side effects. The continuous use of the product provides the strands with strength and softness and protects them against daily exposure to the sun, wind and pollution.
Ervamatin Shampoo helps to control frizz and makes the hair much more manageable because it acts directly on the nutrition of the hair roots and along its length. It can be used on all types of hair. In extreme cases of hair loss, Ervamatin Capillary Lotion is recommended for maximum results.
How to Use:
Can be used daily or 3 – 4 times a week. Apply to the wet hair and gently massage the scalp for 1 or 2 minutes. Rinse and repeat the process if necessary. In extreme cases of hair loss, Ervamatin Lotion is recommended to maximize the results.
