Pollstar Staff | 11/1/24

Following a massively successful year with record-setting box office tallies and Taylor Swift’s highest-grossing tour of all time  — what’s next for the live biz in 2024? Pollstar’s editorial staff offers predictions.

Live Growth Spurt May Slow The live industry saw unprecedented growth in 2023 with a massive 46% growth YoY for the Top 100 Tours, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports. 2024 should be another strong year — but perhaps not a great one. Though the U.S. economy showed promising signs with GDP increasing 4.9% in Q3, the total household debt spiked to $17.29 trillion, according to the Federal Reserve, though inflation continues to outpace salaries. Consumers may think twice before clicking the checkout box and adding another credit card charge, which may decrease ticket sales following live’s record-setting year.  – Oscar Aréliz

Reunions, Farewells & Mega-Fests It’s hard to put the genie back in the bottle, so the industry as a whole will get creative to continue the upward momentum of recent years. Expect more seemingly unlikely reunions, farewells that may not actually be final (cough, cough), and additional legs of tours that seemed like one-time affairs. Also, don’t be surprised if the mega-festival trend (When We Were Young, Power Trip, etc), continues to gather steam to the point of becoming a whole new category of yearly event.  – Ryan Borba

Ticketing: Same As It Ever Was With mounting public pressure, grandstanding politicians and supreme supernova demigoddess Taylor Swift aligning for the cause of ticketing reform, in the coming year one can expect little to change. That’s because tickets are money, whether artists, their teams, promoters, venues or ticketers keep prices low, outsmart bots, include all-in pricing, shut out the secondary or sell on the side, capitalists always gonna capitalize. – Andy Gensler

Sphere’s Innovations Break Out Many of the innovations that make Sphere so groundbreaking are likely to start trickling out to the world. Don’t expect to see 16K LED screens that stretch around concertgoers at your local arena any time soon, but it’s not a stretch that the beamforming sound system Holoplot created for Sphere becomes scalable enough for broader expansions and artists who already embrace innovation are likely to make bids at recreating Sphere’s already legendary immersive experience at other venues (as best they can). – J.R. Lind

More Protest Songs More artists will pen anti-war songs, including showing support for innocent civilians in various conflicts. We’ll also hear other politically-minded songs, such as tunes concerning women’s rights — along with more live events booked to benefit those in need and support causes near and dear to artists’ hearts, like 2022’s Love Rising Nashville organized in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Plus, it’s an election year. – Sarah Pittman

Indies Go Back To The Future Independent operators may remain fiercely competitive but, with the establishment of trade groups NIVA and NITO, a greater spirit of collaboration has emerged in the wake of COVID. In some cases, onetime rivals – including clubs and promoters – are teaming to share resources to lift all boats, while Brian Becker’s LiveCo brought together five indie promoters to expand existing partnerships with entertainment platforms to create new, innovative projects. Expect this trend to continue.  – Deborah Speer

Cloning Technology Arrives Insomniac Events founder/CEO Pasquale Rotella manages to find a scientific breakthrough getting one step closer to cloning himself by 2030. This opens doors for agents and promoters to attend all their events at once, and for artists to play multiple shows at the same time. – Ariel King

an email I received from woolies.

"Dear [consumer],

I am writing to thank you for shopping at Woolworths and to update you on the cost of groceries.

It has been my privilege as CEO to work together with our team to serve you over the past 8+ years. Supermarkets are an amazing place to work, as they are part of all of our everyday lives and we get feedback in real time - from customers, friends and family. We then have the opportunity to act on this feedback to try and make the grocery shopping experience better.

In terms of being better, we recognise that our customers continue to be under material cost of living pressures, with rising housing and energy costs. We know we need to do more to help, especially as we go into Spring, Summer and the Christmas festive season. 

We understand the importance of managing the cost of your grocery basket and I’m pleased to be able to report that food inflation is now on average less than 2% at Woolworths. Over the past 3 months, the price of a typical shopping basket has declined by ~1%. Here’s how we’re providing increased value when you shop with us:

Expanding our range of Everyday Low Price products and making it even easier to see the Cost Per Unit to enable easy price comparisons

Continuing our Seasonal Prices Dropped (with 400+ price reductions for Spring) and Weekly Specials (with around 6000 on special every week)

An important new initiative - we are starting to reduce Shelf Prices - look out for our new Lower Shelf Price tickets and expect this program to grow over time. 

It's one thing to have good prices but you need to be able to find them and we have an increasing range of new tools and services including:• 

Best Unit Price search filter and the ability to add your favourite products to your Watch List in the Woolworths app to be alerted when they are on special

Everyday Extra, with 10% off your shop once per month and 2x points every time you shop

Our Own brands, on average 30% cheaper than the equivalent branded product [- this is literally just called economies of scale and leads to Woolworths being an even bigger monopoly (/duopoly with Coles).]

And (if you can’t find what you are looking for), you can always “Ask Olive” when using the Woolworths app. 

Outside of working hard to provide you greater value, we’re proud to be the official fresh food partner of the Australian Olympic and Paralympic teams. It’s been wonderful to see the support across the community for our athletes and we’d like to thank you for helping us raise more than $850,000 for our Paralympic team. 

As we reach our 100 Year milestone, many things have changed since the first Woolworths store was opened in Pitt Street Mall in Sydney on 5 December 1924. However the importance of service has stayed the same. [- yea a basket of goods (bread, milk, sugar, butter, potatoes, tea) around 1924 was between $14 and $41 (in 2023 value) and now in 2024 it's $100.12. And that's excluding sugar in the 2024 price because the amount (e.g., 1kg, 2lbs, 3 bags) wasn't given in the source material (https://guides.slv.vic.gov.au/whatitcost/groceries)]

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you together with our amazing team. As this is my last week as the CEO of Woolworths, I would like to introduce you to Amanda Bardwell, our new CEO. Please provide her with the same support, feedback and opportunity to serve you better. 

With gratitude

Brad Banducci"

'Last month, the eagerly awaited film Oppenheimer achieved an impressive feat by selling tickets with prices soaring as high as ₹2,450 (per ticket). In fact, many theatres across India had early morning shows around 3am, and they, too, were sold out despite the high prices. In Delhi, tickets to watch director Christopher Nolan’s movie in 2D were sold at ₹2,000 each. Last year, James Cameron’s Avatar: Way of Water also tickets art a similar price. Even Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One saw an unusually higher ticket price.

These incident seem to suggest a noteworthy change in audience preferences towards a premium cinema experience. We ask cinema owners and trade experts to share insights into the driving factors behind this change, evolving preferences of moviegoers in the realm of cinema and if the same can be expected with upcoming Indian films like Jawaan, Salaar, Animal and other big-ticket films lined-up for release.

Kamal Gianchandani, CEO PVRINOX Pictures

Audiences preferring premium formats to enjoy their favourite film at cinemas is a growing trend. We’ve been observing this for the last several year, and therefore, we’ve invested in new formats and in upgrading our cinemas at every given opportunity. Our producers are also noticing this trend, which is why you’re seeing increasing number of films being released in multiple formats. We believe this trend is here to stay.

Devang Sampat, CEO at Cinepolis India

The advance ticket bookings for Oppenheimer proved that Indians prioritise exceptional storytelling and unforgettable cinematic journeys. It showed that true enthusiasts still cherish and prefer the unbeatable cinematic experience on the big screen, and will pay the price for it...

Girish Johar, Producer and Trade Analyst

Nolan is the number one director at this moment, and a film connoisseur understands the value he brings to a story. The reason why Oppenhemier’s tickets are selling like a hot cake and people are going crazy is the content he brings on to the screen. But when we say that people are moving towards the premium cinema experience, we are talking about only a section. The uber premium metro audience is who watches films like Oppenheimer and have a spending power...

Taran Adarsh, Trade Expert

Audience would react more positively and would enjoy a premium experience when Shah Rukh Khan will come with Jawaan and Dunki, or Prabhas with Salaar or Ranbir Kapoor with Animal. These are eventful and I am sure they will receive the same treatment as Oppenhemier. It all depends on the hype, which as of now is tremendous. There is a movement towards premium experience but only in select areas.

Akshaye Rathi, Film exhibitor and Distributer

Oppenhemier’s premium ticket price rates and the fact that even those were sold out for early morning shows, is testimony to the fact that it’s all about the entertainment value that you provide to consumers. If it’s worthy of their time, money and effort, all sorts of things will do well. Moreover, when it comes to the theatrical medium, movies that have either that cinematic spectacular value or immersive viewing experiences or collective viewing experiences, you will always see people choosing cinema halls as the preferred medium of consumption and paying any price for it. But having said that, these big screen spectacles always have an added edge.

Komal Nahta , Trade Expert

With films like Oppenheimer or the upcoming ones like Jawaan, I don’t think people will have a problem in paying high prices for tickets. The reason is the premium value attached to these releases. I know that people across the country have been complaining about the high prices of the tickets and want it to come down to ₹100-120 from 250-300 in multiplexes. However, having premium shows in a couple of theatres, depending on what movie it is, is not a bad idea. In fact, it’s liked by people.'

Average Costs of SR-22 Insurance in California

You may have thought having your California driver’s license suspended was bad enough. That is until you are required to purchase auto insurance with a state-ordered SR-22 attachment in order to get it back. Now you are looking at an average 183 percent increase in your premium.

There’s no doubt that dealing with a suspended license and SR-22 insurance is expensive. Why is it so much, and what can you do to lower your rates?

Let’s take a look at some questions and information about what SR-22 insurance is and how you can get back on the road with cheap auto insurance rates.

How Much Does California SR-22 Insurance Cost?

SR-22 insurance in California costs on average between $800 and $1,600 per year. As with all insurance pricing, your cost will depend on a variety of unique factors, such as where you live (your zip code), how old you are, marital status, other characteristics and, most importantly, your driving history.

Most of the time, drivers who need to file this type of certificate with their Department of Motor Vehicles will be looking at double or even triple the amount they used to pay – a significant impact.

Note: The actual filing of the document usually costs a filing fee of $25-$40 and it is a one-time fee as long as you stay with the same carrier.

What is an SR-22?

Simply put, it is a proof of insurance certificate. In plain English, that means an insurer is letting the state DMV know that you have at least the required minimum amount of coverage in California by filing this certificate for you. California’s minimum requirements are:

$15,000 bodily injury or death one person

$30,000 bodily injury or death more than one person

$5,000 property damage

SR means “safety responsibility”. It means drivers should have insurance to be able to help pay for any injuries or damages they cause. Drivers who either do not choose to carry the legally-required insurance or those who behave in a reckless or egregious way behind the wheel are often asked to provide proof they are complying with the financial responsibility laws of their state. In California, this is done when car insurance companies file a certificate of financial responsibility on behalf of their customer.

Choosing to abide by your SR, or safety responsibility, when you drive helps avoid the expense of the resulting premium increase if you choose not to actively participate in your SR. Your policy will be re-rated based on your driving activity. This includes any DUIs, tickets, or serious driving convictions. This activity affects your policy premium in two ways: direct surcharge and overall risk profile.

Direct Surcharges for Tickets and Convictions

If you get a ticket, at-fault accident, DUI, or other driving violation, your insurance goes up for those events. Generally, each one will have a specific surcharge attached to it. Most insurance companies keep the high cost surcharge on your policy for three years.

Once you hit the three-year mark, the surcharge will “fall off” and not be charged at the next insurance renewal. This results in a drop in your car insurance rates as long as you don’t have other tickets or activity added.

Different insurance companies charge differently for tickets and activity. Talk to your insurer about how these charges are handled so that you know what to expect.

Overall Risk Profile

It’s no secret that someone with many tickets or accidents or other incidents is a more risky driver than someone without that activity. As a result, having to get an SR-22 will probably move you into a higher-risk category than you were in before and you’ll see a significant increase in your premium.

If you were in the standard or average category, a DUI and required SR-22 can easily move you into the high-risk category instead. That causes all of your insurance rates to be higher, even without the direct surcharge that comes from the activity itself.

Your risk category usually lasts five years, but a DUI can affect your risk for 10 years. That’s why SR-22 insurance can be more expensive long after the SR-22 is no longer required and the DUI has fallen off the direct surcharge list.

Why Do I Have to Have an SR-22?

California generally requires an SR-22 if you’ve been convicted of a serious driving offense. Check out the following reasons why someone might be required to file an SR-22.

Driving Under the Influence

A DUI conviction in California means you have been found to be driving with enough of some intoxicant in your system to be considered a danger on the road. This could be alcohol (a blood alcohol content of more than .08%), some form of pills or medication (even one that is prescribed), marijuana or some other illegal drugs, such as heroin or cocaine.

Note: Keep in mind that the standards for those under age 21 are far stricter than those for adults. California law (much like everywhere in the United States) has a zero tolerance law for drivers under the age of 21 (the legal age to consume alcohol).

A BAC of .01-.04% will see you lose your driving privileges for one year. It’s not considered a criminal charge and won’t put a DUI on your record.

A BAC of .05-.07% will put a DUI on your record as a criminal charge. You’ll lose your driver’s license and be required to attend (and be financially responsible for) a three-month DUI course.

A BAC of .08% or greater will see you paying thousands of dollars in fines, court-ordered fees, increased insurance costs, as well as days of jail time or juvenile custody, license suspension, years of probation and a three to nine month DUI course.

Driving or Getting into an Accident Without Insurance

Driving without insurance is punishable with an SR022 mandate. And worse, the normal rules of liability don’t apply if you get into an accident without coverage. Even if the wreck is not your fault, if the other motorist is legally driving and you are not, you could be sued by their carrier for damages, up to and including losing your assets, such as your home. And you most likely will need to carry a certificate for up to 5 years.

Reckless Driving

Reckless driving in the golden state is defined as driving in a way that disregards the safety of people and property. Is this subjective? It can be, but if a police officer gives you a ticket for reckless driving, you’ll be hard-pressed to fight about it and that will cost you money. Of course, getting an attachment on your license is expensive too, so you’ll have to weigh it out.

There are different ways to fall under the limits of carrying an SR-22, such as multiple at-fault accidents and other major violations.

How Long Do I Have to Carry SR-22 Insurance in CA?

In most cases, it’s 3 years. It can be up to 5 in serious instances.  It will be completely up to you to monitor your time. Nobody is going to tell you your 3 years is up. Once your time is up, you can notify your current insurer. They may lower your premium if your time has been smooth with no lapses and no additional citations. They may not lower your rate. Your best option may be to shop around for the cheapest companies, but be aware all carriers have a “look back” period of up to 10 years, so any place you go will know your recent driving record history.

Note: Do not let your policy lapse while in your SR-22 time. Your insurer is bound by law to report any lapse to the state. A failure to pay even one month could start your SR time over and cost additional fees. If you find you are in a situation where you cannot afford your payment, get in touch with your carrier immediately.

What If I Don’t Have a Car?

It can seem odd to have a required SR when you don’t own a car. However, it is possible! In some cases, you’ll need a non-owner car insurance policy that will allow you to show proof of financial responsibility to the state under these conditions.

Since it is cheaper, non-owner SR-22 insurance only applies if you do not have access to a car within your household.

Even without a car, this type of policy would allow you to drive rental vehicles and other cars you don’t own. Once you purchase a vehicle, you would then change your coverage to a traditional automobile policy.

How Can I Lower My Insurance Premium?

This is the question that the average driver has in mind when they ask about how much an SR-22 will cost. After all, most people don’t have a lot of extra money lying around to pay higher rates.

The good news is that there are many options to lower your insurance rates, including by being a safe driver with no traffic violations and qualifying for good driver discounts. Take a page from that book or check out these other discounts!

Take a Defensive Driving Course

The driving courses that the court will require you to take after a DUI, unfortunately, don’t qualify for an discount, but taking one voluntarily after you get your license back can. Defensive driving courses can make a big difference in your insurance rates, and the discount lasts one to three years. When it falls off, you can retake the class to renew the deal.

Combine Your Auto and Home Policies

When you carry multiple policies with one company, you may qualify for a multi-policy discount that lowers the premium on both types of insurance. It’s a great way to get lower rates!

Take Advantage of Multi-Car Discounts

If there are multiple cars in your household, putting them together on the same auto insurance policy can help you save money. Most providers offer a multi-car discount if you have more than one car with them.

Having multiple cars on one policy is generally less expensive than having an individual policy on each one, so be sure to ask for a quote.

Review Your Insurance Coverage

Insurers always want you to have appropriate insurance coverage, but sometimes changing the types of coverage on your car can make a big difference. For example, if your vehicle is older and you don’t have a loan on it, you might want to consider only having liability coverage.

If you want to continue with comprehensive and collision coverage, why not see how much you can save with a higher deductible? Often changing the deductible can save you a lot of money each month.

Install Safety and Anti-theft Equipment

A safer car is cheaper to insure, so make sure you let your insurer know about all the safety equipment you have installed. For instance, an anti-theft device can help lower the premium on your comprehensive coverage. Other equipment might reduce the risk of having an accident or getting injured.

When your carrier is aware of your car’s safety equipment, they can adjust the premiums accordingly.

Update How Much You Drive Your Car

It’s not a surprise that someone who drives less often is less likely to be in an accident. If you have limited driving habits, or maybe you are working from home now, it’s a good idea to let your agent know! Many companies offer a payment decrease for driving less than a certain number of miles each year.

Look Into a Variety of Discounts

Some insurance companies offer discounts for a variety of student statuses, federal affiliations, and membership. If you’re a great student — or have one in your household — that can lower your insurance premium. So can being a member of the military, a veteran, or holding specific memberships.

One of the simplest ways to lower your cost is to make sure you talk to your insurer about all of your affiliations so they can apply all the discounts you deserve. Affordable insurance can be a big part of getting back on your feet.

Demon Tyrant of France (2)

Lila had a great week. The class was wrapped around her finger and that baker's girl can't do anything about it as Adrien seemed to be keeping her in line with that promise. Poor girl was desperate to do anything for her crush. Today, she will spin some tales of how Marinette was really mean to her offer of friendship and maybe get her so call 'friends' to punish her bad behaviour by destroying the girl's phone for her awful texts. As she skipped to the school, she didn't notice the tense air the other students seemed to have. She saw Alya, her ticket to increasing her fame, arguing with her boyfriend, Nino. He could be useful when she needs music for a party.

"I don't care if this Demon Tyrant person is powerful. We don't need another Chloe Bourgeois in our class. I am not going to stand for her tormenting us."

"Babe, listen, the Demon Tyrant will mostly ignore us because according to her, we are just mere insects. As long as we don't provoke her or anger her, we will be fine. The only thing I am worried about is whether or not you would get into trouble, you did some bad things to her recently and I really hope she is feeling generous."

"I couldn't have done things to someone I have never heard of until today."

"Oh, she had been in our class for the past 2 years. Apparently, she and a friend of hers had a bet on who can be kind for the longest. The bet was over last night. Chloe sent us about it last night."

"I never read what Miss Bully says."

"Excuse me," Lila cuts in, "What are you talking about? Who is the Demon Tyrant? She sounds bad."

"I will tell you on the way. Classes are about to start. But whatever you do, under any circumstances, do not, I mean, absolutely DO NOT talk to her unless she permits it."

The more Lila hears about the Demon Tyrant, the more she begins to envy the power she has over the school. Lila wondered which of her classmates was the Demon Tyrant. Could be Chloe but she can't be it, she had not been nice to their classmates at all. The one with the Roller Skates? She seemed to fit the Demon Tyrant name with the pink hair and roller skates but sometimes she didn't act nice. The Pink Blondie? She acts so nice and sickeningly sweet that she wouldn't be surprised if it was a facade.

She walked into the classroom, as confidently as she can to impress the so-called Demon Tyrant. Whoever she is, might want connections to spread her sphere of influence and they can rule together.

Lila and Alya saw Marinette with a complete makeover wearing a golden 'crown' that looked legit, looking down on the class like they were peasants from her high seat in the back. Their mouths hung open as Kim and a few others came, bearing offerings which they presented to her.

Lila gritted her teeth. Of course, that goody-two-shoes were the Demon Tyrant who ruled the school. At least now it will be easier to take all her friends away. She plastered a concerned face.

"Marinette, what are you doing? Demanding things from your friends? Friends shouldn’t expect things from their friends like that, especially something as expensive as that crown.” “First of all, Rossi, don’t call me by my name, I only allow certain people to call me that and you are not on that small list. Second of all, I didn’t ask for anything from them. They are called gifts. It was rather hypothetical of you to tell me not to expect free stuff from ‘friends’ when just last week, you basically demanded free pastries from the bakery. And lastly, this diadem ”-she gestured towards it-“is actually mine. I paid for it full price with my hard-earned money. I have a receipt if you don’t believe me. Since you are still new, I shall let it pass this time. But you will not speak to me unless necessary or with my permission.” Marinette said with a cold, icy voice.

“I can’t believe you are so mean to me. I just want to be friends and I am so worried about you when you are dressed like that.” Lila faked a few tears to sell the act. It’s perfect. She didn’t have to try so hard now that Marinette is doing a nice job by herself.

“I believe I have told you not to speak to me. Another word to me and I will make you deeply regret it.”

Alya spoke up, not liking Marinette’s new attitude, “Girl, Lila was just looking out for you. Don’t brush off her concerns and stop being so mean. I will admit I am worried about this new look too.”

“Cesaire, I will give you the same warning as Rossi there. You aren’t allowed to speak to me unless I say otherwise. Why should I change based on some people’s opinion of me? I am not mean, I am indifferent and cold to people. Haven’t you heard I am the Demon Tyrant? It’s part of the package. Life isn’t a fairytale and they all live happily ever after. Lila should be used to hearing cold, hurtful truths. After all, the famous deal with them all the time.” Marinette said with a bored expression on her face, already deeming this a waste of her breath.

Lila burst into tears and Alya was the only one to comfort her as the others were frozen in their seats and made no moves. Terrified for the backlash of helping the 2 girls. Even Nino, who loved Alya very much but prayed to every deity he knew to grant his headstrong, stubborn, justice-seeking girlfriend some common sense. She was playing with fire now and she was going to get burned badly.

Lila sobbed loudly, ”But I am not lying.”

“Marinette! Stop this at once. You can drop the act now. I don't know what you are trying to prove. Being a better Chloe? And we are best friends, we don’t need permission to speak to each other. Lila doesn’t lie. How could you say those things? Just because you are jealous, doesn’t mean you should do it. She is very sensitive.”

The Demon Tyrant grinned. It instinctively made everyone move away from her and Alya, who took a step back.

“Oh. Alya. Alya. Alya.” The first name means that the reporter had poked the Demon too much and now, she was annoyed. The Tyrant walked down, towards the two girls.

“You poor naive girl. With your strong sense of Justice and morals. I thought that we could have actually been friends. But you chose the wrong side when the time came. You should have listened to your boyfriend’s warnings when you had a chance. Let’s hope this one will get through to you. When I started this year of college, I had put up the perfect act of a sweet, kind and selfless girl all for a bet. You saw Chloe bullying that girl whom you protected and befriended. I remember many of our classmates pulled you aside to warn you of my true nature to spare you the heartache when the time came. I also told you one myself. That girl back then was not me at all and I tried to ease you into understanding that. But you were too excitable. You immediately put yourself into the category of ‘my best friend’ even though that title already belongs to my dear thief. You saw the various pictures of Gabriel’s design with Adrien as the model on my wall and decided that I have to get together with him when my heart had already been stolen by another. (Chloe fist-bumped the air. It was confirmed that her ship had sailed.) When Lila Rossi came with her grand stories, you chose to believe her over me. I will usually not admit something like this because I am too proud but it hurt when you went to her instead of me. The point is that you never stopped and listened, just going on ahead. Because if you did, you would have known that I was never your best friend. That I was never jealous of Lila over Adrien because I don’t even like him. That Marinette Dupain-Cheng isn’t even my real name and she doesn’t exist. And the lying. I haven’t accused her of anything like that. I am just calling her out for assuming the worst of me.”

The Demon Tyrant’s voice was like snow. Soft and melted easily. And so very very Cold. So much of it will knock one’s breath out. The room felt colder after the speech.

Alya stood as still as an ice statue, face-to-face with the Demon Tyrant. Her eyes averted as the blue eyes were so piercing like it could tear her soul to pieces. Lila had stopped her fake crying, thinking about who exactly had she declared an enemy of. She didn’t know if she wanted an answer or not.

“Cesaire, Rossi, I have many connections before I was Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I have even more now. With a word from me and your careers will be destroyed before they even take off. If you have common sense, you will stay out of my way.”

“Is that a threat?” Lila asked.

The Tyrant lets out a laugh and meets their eyes, “No. It’s a promise.” She turned around and walked back to her seat like a regal Empress after giving out an execution order.

I feel like it's the right time to share PART TWO of the craziness that happened back in March 2020 as I am currently attempting the exact same journey in December from England to France and am being met with similarly impossible hurdles again... THE HURRICANE vs THE CORONAVIRUS (part two) Escaping from England to France, the long way round..

MARCH 2020 After the absolute rollercoaster of attempting to play eleven shows in eleven countries all around the world in the same month that a global pandemic arrived, these next days would be smooth and I would quickly and easily make it into France to stay with my girlfriend and her family. This is what I hoped for. So, I booked a flight from London Gatwick to Lyon and headed to the airport with my passport, a letter and accompanying document to allow me to enter France. The check-in process was straight forward, my suitcase disappeared and I headed to wait at the appropriate gate, first in line. I was already feeling somewhat at peace with the cancelled tour and my focus shifted to visiting Mathéa and her family. Boarding commenced and I handed over my passport and boarding pass which is where things started to get a little interesting.. The lady behind the desk looked at my passport and turned to her colleague to ask a question before letting me know that I would not be able to board the flight. I didn’t believe it. I showed the the letter and the document but they said it meant absolutely nothing to them. I pleaded, but there was nothing they could do. I pleaded some more and Mathéa pleaded with them over the phone. We knew there was no chance they would be able to do anything, but I just couldn’t walk away. After all the things that stood in the way in the previous weeks which we had overcome, this was now the last piece of the puzzle, refusing to fall into place. I eventually and reluctantly took my passport, boarding pass, letter and document with me and went to join a group of people waiting to collect their luggage after also being kicked off flights. It was chaos. So many people stranded and in far worse situations than mine. Some crying, some shouting at staff. I stood quietly but impatiently waiting for my name to be called, to then be led with about ten others back through the airport to another waiting area where our luggage would soon arrive. It didn’t. Well not mine at least. Everyone else disappeared within a few minutes but I was left waiting on my own for almost an hour. During this time, I was wondering what the next plan should be. I knew there would be a ferry leaving from Newhaven for France later that night, so I quickly booked a ticket. Maybe I would be faced with the same problem again, or maybe going by ferry would be less strictly controlled? I really didn’t know what might happen but I felt like I had to take a chance and see if I could at least make it into the north of France and then somehow find my way across the country to Mathéa’s family home in the east, near to the border with Switzerland. With my suitcase rolling along beside me, a heavy pack on my back and a train ticket for the south, I approached the ticket gates to enter the station. I soon realised they were not letting anyone through so I squeezed to the front to see if I could hear any explanations for the closure or if they knew how long the delay might be. It was chaos again with more impatient people struggling to hide their frustration. I had plenty of time before the ferry departure so I wasn’t particularly worried at this point in time. While I waited, I was answering messages on my phone and replied to one from Guido, a very kind fan from Germany. I told him about my situation and he then suggested that I take the next available flight to an airport within a few hours from his house in Rheinbach and he would pick me up from there and take me by car back to his home. It was perhaps my best chance to get to mainland Europe and then I would be only one land border away from France and not separated by the English Channel. I was suddenly thankful for the disruption with the trains at the airport. I rushed back from the train station to the first airline ticket counter I could find and waited in line, surrounded by more frustrated people arguing with staff. The mood was not pleasant. People seemed scared and angry and I remember thinking that if I had a home that I was being stopped from going back to, I might be quite angry and frustrated too. But for me, if I really couldn’t get into France, then I would find somewhere to stay for the coming weeks and it would be okay. Amsterdam was my next and best option and Guido agreed to meet me there, around three hours driving from his house. Just before I paid for the flight, I was told that I might have the same problem again and not be allowed on the flight and into The Netherlands, but I was willing to risk it for now. Ticket in hand I rushed over to the check-in counter to drop off my suitcase. They scanned my passport, it beeped in a non-positive way, I froze, waiting to see what would happen next. She said there was a problem. Of course there was a problem, there is always a problem.. unless there’s not? It could have been a mistake, maybe? With some confidence, I simply asked her to try again on the unlikely chance that it was just a computer error.. She scanned my passport again and I heard the other, more positive sounding beep. We both laughed. Somehow, it’s fine. She asked me to hurry to the gate because the flight would be boarding very soon. This time, they let me enter the plane. Boarding was smooth and even though I was now sitting on the tarmac ready to fly, I was still half expecting my name to be called over the speaker and be asked to disembark. Thankfully, that did not happen and shortly after take-off we began our descent into Amsterdam. The mood is strange. I’m in the ‘other passports’ line with my Australian passport and there are eight or nine people in front of me. One by one, every single person in front of me is turned away and asked to wait in a little side section. Surely I will suffer the same fate? When I got to the counter, I was asked if I knew about the current situation. I assumed he meant the situation with the virus and the impending shutdown of the entire world. He did. I said I was being picked up by a friend and driven to Germany and he told me that if I was not across the border and out of The Netherlands by 6pm I would be stranded and this is something he would not allow. He didn’t want to let me in, I could feel it. He wanted to send me to wait with the other group but instead he made me guarantee that I would be in Germany before 6pm. I promised. Besides, it wouldn’t be a problem, Guido would be there to pick me up and drive me back to his home. With my passport stamped and feeling such relief, I happily move through to find my suitcase and walk to the airport hotel where Guido and I agreed to meet. As I sit down and finally relax a little, I receive a message from Guido saying he is still two hours away. It is almost 3pm. This means we will not have enough time to make it back into Germany and we will both be stuck in The Netherlands when the border closes at 6pm. Do I tell him to turn around to go home and I find the next solution on my own? I was starting to worry a little and I wondered what I should do as I hurried back to the airport. As I arrived, I looked at the train timetable and spontaneously bought a train ticket to Nijmegen and Guido agreed to meet me there as it’s close to the border with Germany. Perfect, I think this will give us enough time. I’m feeling okay again, waiting on the platform for the train to arrive. But a few minutes later, I look back up to the screen and read ‘CANCELLED’. Of course it’s cancelled. Why wouldn’t it be? This was one of those moments when I really wasn’t sure what to do. It had already been quite a tense time and I was wondering if I should keep trying to get to France or if I just call it a day and stop. I tried to call Mathéa to get her to help find some options, but she was off doing yoga. I then asked a friend in Amsterdam if she would let me stay if I really got stranded. She said yes, so at least I had this as a backup. In the meantime I booked an uber from the airport to a point on the map somewhere in the east but the wait time just kept saying fifteen minutes so I cancelled and jumped in a taxi. He asked ‘Where to?’ I don’t know, just drive. Drive east towards Germany. ‘But where are you trying to go?’ I told him I was eventually trying to get into France. He said he would take me there for a good price. I declined and found an address halfway between Guido and I, on the edge of Utrecht at a restaurant conveniently named ‘Down Under’. After an eternity of watching the price increase on the little screen in the front, the driver drops me off, I pay him a lot of money and he says he can still take me to France if I want. I thank him and say goodbye. Guido is still not there. ‘Down Under’ is closed. I’m hungry and need to use the bathroom. I walk to another place nearby, but it’s also closed. I see a McDonalds down the road and walk there, but only the drive-thru is open and they won’t allow me to buy food or enter to use the bathroom. Things are getting serious. Guido turns up after another twenty minutes and I am so relieved to be out of the cold and with Guido who will take me to safety in Germany. We crossed the border at 5:45pm. They seemed to be setting up light towers as we glided out of 120km/h zoned Dutch roads and onto Germany’s autobahn. This felt like a big achievement. I felt safe now. Only one border separated me from Mathéa and I could stay in Germany if I really couldn’t make it into France. I slept very well this night. The following morning, we were wondering if I would be able to enter the north of France and have Mathéa come and pick me up at the border, but movement was already heavily restricted in France so this was not an option. People were also saying that both the French and Swiss borders with Germany were completely closed to anyone without a valid reason and valid documentation. It was beginning to look like I would be living with Guido and Yvonne and their boys for the days and weeks ahead. There just didn’t seem to be any possible or legal way to cross into France or even into Switzerland which would be helpful too. I think I was almost ready to give up when Thomas (amazing human and tour manager from the Hurricane Tour) sent a message asking what was happening. Thomas is one of those people who has taught me to never give up, that there is always a way, even when it seems impossible. He had booked the cheapest flight back to Germany (he is also very frugal) which happened to be into Cologne/Bonn which was not too far from where I was staying with Guido and Yvonne. He said together we would find the way for me to get into Switzerland and then I could get into France from there. Okay Thomas, let’s do this! Thomas landed and rented a car at the airport then came to pick me up. I waved goodbye to my German saviours who seemed very adamant, and rightfully so, that we would be seeing each other again later that day after my failed attempt to cross into Switzerland. There was still no plan for when we would arrive at the border but we were coming up with all sorts of ideas as we drove the five hours south towards Basel. Do I just try to walk across a field? Or go through a mountain path? Or in a boat down the river? Or in the back of a truck or a van? Or is there still a legal way to enter Switzerland somehow? I asked my good friend Pascal if he might have any genius ideas as he lives in Switzerland near the border, just outside Basel. He also makes amazing guitars (La Réselle Guitars) and had finished building a guitar that I was to buy from him. Pascal and his girlfriend Melina had a genius idea and within the hour he had emailed me a letter stating that I was entering Switzerland to pick up the guitar and as it was a business reason, it was allowed under the current rules from the government website as long as I would not be staying in Switzerland. I was nervous to try just with the letter, so I booked a flight out of Switzerland for the next day and as Thomas is the most amazing tour manager ever, of course he still had his printer with him in his backpack. We printed Pascal’s letter in German and in English and a copy of the boarding pass for the flight and headed to Freiburg to catch a train into Switzerland. I had asked Mathéa if she could cancel any yoga plans for the day and be available to search things and check information for us. She found out that all trains crossing the border were now cancelled out of Freiburg but that there should still be a tram running and maybe I could get on the tram and cross into Switzerland that way? Thomas dropped me at the tram stop. We said goodbye and I jumped on the next tram and attempted to cross the border. I followed the map on my phone. The tram was half full. I was nervous and I’m sure people could see it. The tram made a few brief stops and then we arrived at the border. Two police entered the tram saying something in German. One came to me and I handed him my ticket. He insisted I show him my passport. He didn’t even open it, he just saw ‘Australia’ on the front and said ‘Get Out’. I tried to explain. ‘GET OUT!’ I tried to stay calm and composed and explain again as I reached into my bag for Pascal’s letter and the boarding pass to hand over to him. He unfolded the letter to look at it. In my mind, one hour passed. In reality, it was probably closer to one very long minute. He didn’t say a word, he just kept staring at the letter. He eventually folded it back up, handed it to me with my passport and walked over to his colleague. I waited for him to ask me to go with them. But he didn’t say anything. Instead, they both step out, the doors close and the tram continues to move. I’m in Switzerland!! I try not to show too much emotion, everyone is still staring at me after this little incident. The tram arrives at the station in Basel. I’m constantly looking over my shoulder, I still can’t relax. I wait for Pascal, he’s on his way to pick me up. I’m waiting on the wrong side of the station, I have to walk back through again. I’m so nervous that the police or someone will stop me and ask me what I am doing. I see Pascal walking towards me from the other side of the station. It’s slow motion, just like the movies. I’m so relieved to see him, to be in Switzerland, to be safe for another night. We want to hug each other but we keep our distance and try to avoid any chance of potentially sharing the virus. I stay the night with Pascal and Melina and know that I’m so close to being with Mathéa now. Pascal drops me and the new guitar at the train station the next morning and I make my way south to Geneva which is then only thirty minutes and one closed border away from Mathéa. The plan was for her to try to enter Switzerland to pick me up and take me back into France but the police at the Swiss border would not let her enter. By now I have learned that there is always a Plan B, so at this point I wasn’t feeling too much stress. I had been told so many times in the previous weeks that something was impossible, and each time, simply by moving forward, a solution to each problem appeared. I had no doubt something positive would happen and I would be in Mathéa’s arms again. And then it happened. Mathéa phoned me and said the Swiss border police suggested I get a taxi or a bus from the station and I could cross into France as the French police were not actually there at that moment. People were being stopped from entering Switzerland but nobody was being stopped leaving Switzerland and entering France. But how long would the French police be away from their post? I jumped in a bus that was headed for Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, the first French town across the border. It would take twenty excruciating minutes for this bus to reach the border. I was the only passenger on board. I tried to act calm and relaxed but I have to assume that the driver noticed how nervous I was. Mathéa was also nervous. She waited in the carpark just over the border and could still see vehicles crossing into France without being stopped. Would it be the same for the bus I was on? These final moments seemed to last longer than the actual time that had passed since being kicked off the initial flight from London to Lyon. Then, all of a sudden, I could see the border and Mathéa could see the bus. We were so close now. On the final approach the bus driver started to slow down and in that moment I felt like everything was about to come to a final heartbreaking halt and I would be stopped just metres away from France and the girl that I love. My heart almost burst out of my chest as I realised the bus wasn’t stopping at the border, we were driving through to France, I had made it!! I frantically hit the ‘next stop’ button then clambered off with my backpack, suitcase and new guitar and ran over to the carpark into the waiting arms of Mathéa. (I wish that is how this last bit actually happened, but she was too scared to get out of her car so I first had to put my luggage in the back and then get into the front and have a slightly awkward but still very enjoyable side-by-side hug). It felt incredible to now be in each other’s arms after being told time and time again that it was just not possible. It was a miracle to be here and I knew it. After a short twenty minute drive we arrived at her family home in the countryside where I would spend the next months and could properly relax after days and weeks of such uncertainty and constant adrenalin. The hurricane was finally over. (or was it....)

Statement #0050204 Author’s Name: Hector Calderon Nature of Incident: Anomalous occurrences during an overnight flight Date and Location: February 4th, 2005, between Seattle, Washington, USA and Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Statement

I’ve never understood people who dislike traveling.

Well, no, I’m not sure that’s entirely true. I can understand disliking public transportation, perhaps. Trains and buses inevitably become messy despite the best efforts of poor overworked city employees, and societal convention seems to break down when you try to pack that many people in that tight a space. I can understand that.

What I [i]don’t[/i] understand is people who claim to dislike driving or flying. There’s something peaceful shared by the both of them, a quiet atmosphere, an isolation that, whether it be simulated on an airplane or very real in your car, can create a sort of inner peace. I’ve never done quite as much good thinking and introspection as I have on long flights, and there’s perhaps nothing quite as relaxing as a drive to nowhere in particular.

Of course, it’s always better to go at night. Daytime in a car runs into traffic, heat from the sunlight constantly bearing its gaze through the not-quite-tinted-enough windows, the smog of the city and the exhaust fumes from your roadmates slowly leaking in through the AC vents and making you gag. Daytime on an airplane is never as cool as you want it to be and ALWAYs more crowded. The false sense of privacy is shattered. There is always a crying baby, and it is always no more than two rows behind you.

It shouldn’t surprise you, then, that I always schedule red eyes when I travel for business. I find they make the actual traveling process much more bearable, and the necessary shifting of my daily schedule to accommodate them is a small price that I’m more than willing to pay (and it’s offset by the even smaller price of the tickets themselves). I’m able to fall asleep fairly easily on airplanes, so if the fatigue overweighs the relaxation, it’s just a short hop on over to dreamland with fairly few lasting effects the following morning.

My wife, of course, both disagrees with and is concerned by my traveling habits. She’s the type of person who can hardly keep her eyes open after 11 PM, and she has a tendency to assume this same quality in those she doesn’t know - this extending, of course, to any other late-night drivers I may encounter, or the pilot of an overnight flight I’m taking. While this does grow occasionally annoying, it’s hard to stay mad, given that I know she only protests out of love and concern. Of course, it doesn’t stop me from moving long distances after the sun goes down.

So really, then, there was nothing particularly unusual about this particular flight. Seattle to LAX, departing at 1 AM. I was off work the following day, being at the tail end of a business trip, so it would be no problem for me to catch up on any lost rest once I got back. I don’t recall there being anything particularly odd about the booking process, or the wait to board, or the plane itself, and for the first 30 minutes or so, things were… normal, I suppose. Quiet, but that was to be expected. A fairly standard late-night/early-morning flight. Having no reason to suspect that otherwise would be the case, I allowed myself to slip from relaxation to dozing, falling into what I assume was a brief nap. If I dreamed, I don’t remember it.

I didn’t notice anything unusual when I first woke up, either. I had never been slow to rise, exactly, but neither was I a particularly light sleeper, and the fact that I had the row to myself delayed the realization of what was happening. It was when I noticed how dehydrated I was and pressed the service button, in hopes of calling an attendant over for some water, that I made my… well, actually, I guess it wasn’t really a mistake, was it? I mean, I was gonna find out what was happening sooner or later. The attendant’s failure to show up after 10 more minutes of pseudo-dozing is what truly roused me from my slumber, and after checking that the seatbelt sign was still disengaged, I rose from my seat, intending to track down my forgotten beverage and perhaps report a broken service light.

What I discovered instead was that the cabin of the plane was completely empty. No attendants. No passengers. Just me. It took a second for the realization to sink in, but once it did it was just so hopelessly, obviously, disturbingly wrong.

Of course there had been people on board before I had fallen asleep.

...hadn’t there?

For a minute, I simply… stood there, looking around blankly, as if expecting someone to pop out from behind a seat at any moment. This had to be a prank, a practical joke, or maybe… a drill of some sort? One I had slept through the announcement for? They certainly hadn’t exited the plane in midair; I wasn’t sure how many parachutes were present on the plane, but I assumed it wasn’t enough for the entire flight, and furthermore I surely would have noticed if someone had opened the door in midair while I was asleep. 

Perhaps they were simply… in the cockpit. It was the one place I didn’t have a direct sight line on. It was possible. The “why” wasn’t important to me in that moment, not as much as the “where”. Furthermore, we were still airborne, I could feel that much, so surely there was at least a pilot still on board. If nothing else, I should be able to march in there and get some answers, even if I wasn’t 100% sure of the questions.

Each step I took towards the front of the plane emitted a muffled “thump” that, while quiet, nevertheless reverberated through my skull in the deafening silence of the empty cabin. Everything seemed muted somehow - the AC vents pumping in pressurized air, the distant whine of the engines, the underlying white noise of the outside air whipping past at 500 miles per hour - as if I was listening to it from the other side of a plexiglass barrier. Every action I took felt magnified in its volume and intensity, and I was struck with the immensely powerful feeling that simply my being here was disturbing something, that breaking the perfect stillness of this barren and abandoned place was a crime of immense magnitude. I don’t know how long it took me to make it to the cockpit, but it undoubtedly felt much longer.

With a trembling hand, I opened the door.

Behind it was nothing. The cockpit was empty. No pilot, no copilot. Just the dim glow of the controls and the oppressive matte black of the night.

Numbly, I made my way over to the controls. I’m certainly not an expert on aviation, but the joystick was moving of its own accord, and the altimeter was holding steady, so I assumed some sort of autopilot was engaged, but there was definitely nobody manually running the show. Not knowing what else to do, I slumped into the pilot’s seat. I was alone.

...or was I? I pulled out my mobile phone. No signal. Makes sense. Plan B was still in play, though, as I frantically cast my gaze about the cockpit. After a moment, I spotted it: a small back radio transceiver, sitting calmly on its hook. I was sure that this was against air protocol or whatever, but I was EQUALLY sure that this was an emergency situation, and I wasn’t exactly super interested in the trappings of procedure. I grabbed the transmitter and called out into the night.

“Hello? Is anyone there?”

A burst of static. Then silence.

“Does anyone copy? Hello?”

Nothing.

I wasn’t just the only person on the plane. I was the only person, period. There was no one else.

The transmitter fell from my hand, and for a long time I just… sat there. The plane continued to fly itself in the meantime, its destination at this point no longer important to me, as I was growing increasingly certain that it had no real intention of ever reaching one. The joystick gently drifted through the still air. The altimeter held steady. And I just… sat there.

My thoughts drifted to my wife, and I had the curious thought that perhaps this wouldn’t have happened if I had just listened to her. If I hadn’t been so keen on flying at night, maybe I wouldn’t have fallen asleep, or maybe I would have been able to see outside the plane. Maybe none of this would have happened. It was nonsense, of course, but the thought of her face comforted me. If I was never going to see her again in person, I might as well at least hold her in my mind. The resignation to my fate, to starving to death aboard this gently soaring metal tube, had my stomach dropping.

...or maybe it didn’t. Because as I continued to stare blankly at various different instruments throughout the cockpit, my eyes alighted once more upon the altimeter, and I noticed that ever so slowly, the plane was dropping, and furthermore I became aware for the first time of a slight canting forwards of the floor. It was the first time something had changed since this whole thing started, and I frankly wasn’t sure if I should be ecstatic or terrified.

The decision became much easier when the cant became more pronounced, and the speed with which the altimeter dropped began to increase, and the rushing of the outside air grew from a gentle hum to a deafening roar. Panic began to set in as I rushed to the control panel, looking for anything that might disengage the autopilot and allow me to TRY to slow my descent. It was hopeless, of course - all the controls were unmarked and unlabeled, and as terrified as I was, the thought of making my predicament WORSE tempered any rash action on my part.

Desperate then, I attempted to simply grab the joystick and pull. It didn’t budge - the autopilot, it seemed, was significantly stronger than I was, and our forward descent was locked in place.

I looked at the altimeter.10,000 feet and falling quickly. 

NOW I allowed myself to be rash, flicking every switch, hitting every button, kicking the joystick in a frantic attempt to dislodge it. Nothing worked, nothing changed. The plane screamed downward into the night, quite set on its destination and quite unwilling to listen to its lone passenger’s arguments to the contrary. I was going to die, and I was going to do it alone.

5,000 feet now.

I remembered those old duck-and-cover videos from grade school. It seemed like lunacy, but lunacy was all I had left. I retreated to the back of the plane, furthest from the place of impact, and I ducked, and I covered, and I waited.

I thought of my wife again. If things went as poorly as I expected they would, I wanted her to be the last image in my mind.

I don’t remember hitting the ground.

I DO remember waking up in a hospital bed, apparently two days later. The doctors said I had collapsed on the flight and, while I was apparently physically fine, had been completely comatose. There were no injuries, and there was no mention of a plane crash or of any mysterious disappearances. They held me overnight for observation, and I was discharged the next day.

I have another business trip next month. I’ll be taking a 9 AM flight.

Supplementary Comments

Any statement in which the anomalous occurrences begin only after the author has fallen asleep should set off immediate red flags in the mind of any properly skeptical reader. You would be surprised at how many people struggle to distinguish from the waking world and the world of dreams. I note that at no point in his statement did Mr. Calderon ever make an attempt to verify whether or not what he was experiencing was in fact real, and the details would fit with him having been comatose.

Mr. Calderon did provide us with hospital records and a flight stub as corroboration, which is quite refreshing - usually we have to rely on Ara for those sorts of things, and she staunchly refuses to divulge her methods of acquiring them, which is always somewhat concerning. Regardless, Mr. Calderon’s documents both seem to corroborate the more verifiable details of his tale - he was in fact admitted to the hospital after falling comatose on Spirit Airlines flight 271. The cause of this is, according to the records, unknown.

Lissa did manage to spot something I missed that I suppose qualifies as unusual. The flight log for Flight 271 lists the pilot as being one Captain Lucas Janssen - a name that meant nothing to me until some cursory Googling revealed that a pilot by the same name disappeared along with his whole plane somewhere over the pacific in 1998.

Will be able to Real Estate Still Be a Good Investment?

That's a question we are all expecting today. Why? Because of the many stock market investors who speculated in real estate, the problems surrounding sub-prime loans with the ending up foreclosures and bank failures, and falling home rates. If the late Dr . David Schumacher, my mentor for those past 10 years and author of the now-famous book, Any Buy and Hold Strategies of Real Estate, were however around, I know what he would say because he believed it during the last downturn in 1990-1995. He would tell us will not worry. This is only temporary and part of the normal circuit of real estate. It creates bargains that can benefit you will. This cycle has been happening since Montgomery Ward developed offering homes for $1, 500 through its fashion magazines. As sure as the sun rises and the seasons can be purchased and go, real estate will make those who own it rich more than a period of time. He would add that now is the best time to get incredible bargains in real estate. The Real Estate Cycle Real estate is still the perfect investment possible. It always has and always shall do well in the long run. This is the fourth real estate cycle I have been by means of and non-e of the downturns were fun. However , if you have had patience and look at the long term, your real estate will go right up in value more than any other investment. Do not treat realty as you might treat the stock market, worrying about the ups and down. Since 1929, real estate has gone up typically five percent a year; if you stay away from the obvious non-appreciating locations like Detroit, it is more like seven percent a year. Within that rate, properties will double in value through 10 years with compounding. Add a federal tax benefit of twenty-eight percent plus state tax deductions, the depreciation write-off for rental property, and the eventual pay-down of the payday loan and you have a strategy rich people have always utilized to accumulate wealth. Flippers Over the past 30 years I have watched many flippers who buy, fix up, and market. I do not know many who have much net really worth or are wealthy because of flipping. It is simply a highly risky way to make money. Those who have prospered are the ones who sadly are in it for the long haul and patiently watch their qualities increase in value over time. This past downturn was created through speculators who all flipped at the same time, putting too many components on the market for sale and rental. I guarantee that covering the long haul, you will always regret selling any property you will have every owned. Buy and Hold Since time tickets by anyway, the buy-and-hold strategy is a great way to turned into rich. Dr . Schumacher experienced at least five real estate cycles and did extremely well, acquiring an eventual net worthwhile of over $50 million. You just can't go wrong on purchasing an inexpensive condo, townhouse, or single-family home from a good location where there are jobs. Make sure you have a fixed-rate loan, make sure it cash flows, hold on to it for the purpose of 10 to 20 years, and you have a property that has bending or even quadrupled in value. When you need to retire, only do a cash-out refinance to live on or to supplement the retirement pension. For example , the first property I purchased pertaining to $75, 000, a townhome in Lake Arrowhead, FLORIDA, is now worth $650, 000. My first oceanfront property, which I purchased in Long Beach, CA, in 1982 for $112, 000 and used as my place, is now worth $500, 000. One-bedroom condos I paid for in Maui, HI, in the late 1990s for $80, 000 are now worth $400, 000. Homes I bought round the same time in Phoenix, AZ, for $75, 000 are actually worth twice that. I could go on and on and regarding. What are your Options? What are your options to building wealth in these days? The options are to buy real estate and build wealth or to not purchase property at all, to struggle a lot and possess nothing to show for it. 1 . You could do nothing. The particular 25 percent who do not own a home end up with no sources when they retire. They have a car loan and owe an average of $9, 000 on their credit cards. Those who do not purchase rental place may be forced to work past age 65 to supplementation their meager retirement income. 2 . You can try to depend upon your retirement. The above chart shows that you should not depend on your own retirement income alone to support you, because it won't. The on Social Security or most retirement programs land up living below the poverty line and are forced to be effective until they drop, so that is not a solution. Other investment decision options are not doing so well, either. 3. Invest in any stock market. We are definitely in a slowdown (I refuse to feel we will have a recession), so the stock market is not going to flourish for several more years. 4. Invest in gold and silver. They have already crafted their run; it is doubtful they will do much better. Silver and gold are used as a hedge against inflation and a weak greenback. It looks like oil prices are headed down as well as dollar is strengthening. 5. Invest in real estate. Those who commit to real estate almost always do well. The following graph shows how the finest one percent in income have acquired their huge selection. As you can see, the vast majority have invested in real estate. Don't Think Short-Term Real estate is not designed to be considered short-term. Right now, real estate will be down in value in many cities, but it is going together in many others. It is a terrible time to sell and retrieve any equity. Only about five percent of the properties will be for sale. Most homeowners and investors are simply holding on in their real estate and are waiting for the next upward appreciation cycle. Typically the Four Greatest MISTAKES People Make in Real Estate Realty always does well when purchased correctly. It is folk's choices and sometimes greed that mess up an essentially perfect investment. MISTAKE #1. Purchasing Property That is Dozens Can Afford Often individuals are attracted to and purchase a home they cannot afford to pay for. They struggle their entire lives just to make the particular payments. Then if they have an illness, job loss, or perhaps divorce, they are in big trouble. MISTAKE #2. Selecting Properties That Don't Cash Flow When rental properties 're going up rapidly, everything seems desirable and people purchase nightly rental properties that don't cash flow. Often that can lead to problems with large, negative cash flows when the market softens. Properties that cash flow are a no-brainer. They are great it doesn't matter what happens. These are the ones you want to buy and hold. Gradually they will be paid off. MISTAKE #3. Refying Too Much Out Once prices are going up, one is tempted to take out the maximum amount able on an equity line on one, s home or instigate a cash-out refi on a rental property. That is dangerous should one cannot make the payments or support typically the negative. It is like abusing one's credit cards, which often leads to bankruptcy. It is especially discouraging when values drop under the loan amount, as is happening with many individuals right now. One should not get discouraged, they will eventually bring back to their original value and then surpass that, usually with 2½ to 4 years. MISTAKE #4. Getting the Erroneous Loans We have all seen the problems with sub prime borrowing products. Those with low incomes were not the only parties using all these loans. Some bought million-dollar homes in a gamble construct y would up in value. Five-year Option ARMS even became popular, but they caused major problems to the real estate investor when they reset. Loans like these should be refinanced straight away. The same is true for adjustable-rate mortgages. Fixed-rate loans is the only suitable loan type for anyone who plans to keep on to his properties. Second Quarter 2008 Shows Best part Sales are up in 13 states, especially in the states hit hardest (California up 25. 8%, Nevada away 25%, Arizona up 20. 5%, and Florida " up " 10%), a strong sign that the market has bottomed as well as returning to normal. In addition , 35 cities across the U. Utes. show an increase in prices from the first to the subsequently quarter. Yakima, WA, rose 9. 9%; Binghamton, NEW YORK, rose 8. 7%; and Amarillo, TX, rose 7. 2% from a year ago. Conclusion It is never exciting to be in a down cycle and see the equity in your residence and rental property slip away. However , do not be frustrated, this is just part of the cycle of real estate. These downward cycles are always good times to pick up more property within great prices, but be sure you keep a reserve just for unforeseen problems (such as illness or job loss) so you can still make your payments. Make sure you purchase good real estate in good locations, priced below the median rate for the area, in markets that have good job development. Properties will return to their 7-plus percent appreciation then you can watch your wealth build once again.

Chapter 6: Bankruptcy

The discoloured mesh of humans that expanded throughout Tokyo Dome made Ochako’s back shiver, from the nosebleed sections to the much-desired floor sections. She hadn’t known what to expect; this was the first concert she ever attended and while she had seen pictures of it online, the absolute size didn’t translate well in pictures. Bracing herself on the rail, she listened with her eyes to the fans roar as a new MV appeared on the large screens, their voices filling her with excitement. When their screaming toned down, for the general noisiness never disappeared completely, she re-read her ticket and confirmed that she had to go even higher.

The nosebleeds provided a great overview of the entire arena she noticed while climbing up the stairs, though she would be unable to see the performers up close. A pang of regret hit her, as both Jirou and Momo had managed to score tickets lower down. Remembering the prices, she straightened her back and felt a lot better about herself. Her mother had begged her to go, saying that Ochako had been working hard without any respite for the family, and eventually she had succumbed reluctantly. There hadn’t been many tickets to pick from since she had wavered for too long but she managed to get one. While she couldn’t afford the expensive floor tickets, she was certain she’d have a good time up here as well.

Her phone went off and she answered it almost immediately.

“Momo?” Ochako asked while taking the last few steps up to her row, trying hard not to reveal how out of breath she was. Covering the phone, she quietly said sorry to the people that let her through to her seat.

“Have you found your seat?” Momo’s voice said.

“I just got to my seat. Good thing I’m not afraid of heights.”

“Remember to use the binoculars I gave you, Ochako! I tested them at home and they worked quite well, considering it’s the first time I produced binoculars with my Quirk.”

Right, she made these using her body, Ochako thought as she fished the binoculars out of her bag and examined it. She looked through them and found that with some adjusting she could see the scene.

“They actually work,” Ochako said, laughter colouring her voice. “It’s hard to believe that you’ve only had your Quirk for a few months and you can already make this kind of stuff. That’s amazing.”

“I have had my Quirk for almost a year now.”

Ochako pressed herself against her seat and let some people by, not particularly paying attention to them. “It’s been that long since?”

“Yes. Life really did change for the better after I met Jirou but if I had lacked the education to support my Quirk I would struggle to make plates, most likely.”

Anticipation rose amongst everyone as the intro’s bassline shook out of the speakers, powerful enough to make Ochako’s torso vibrate to the rhythm. The beginning of the intro ushered the ending of the conversation and everyone lost themselves as the performers entered the stage.

Considering how loud the concert had been, everyone exited in relative silence. There wasn’t much talking done around Ochako, even as the music subsided and the chilly breeze forced the concert goers back into reality. If she was perfectly honest, she didn’t understand that it was all over. While mindlessly following the horde flowing towards the subway, she replayed bits and pieces of the concert inside her head, trying to immerse herself enough to relive it.

She barely acknowledged Jirou and Momo as they miraculously boarded the same train wagon she did. Much like Ochako had, Jirou dunked herself into a seat with a melancholy expression on her face. Ochako must have stared for a bit too long, for Jirou gave her a comforting half-smile.

“Welcome to my life,” she said, her head lolling limply against the back of the seat. She made an upwards motion with her hand, “You’ve been waiting for this for months and it’s over in two hours. Now you have to find something else to do with your life.” Her hand crashed down onto her thigh, symbolizing the post-concert life they now had to endure.

Ochako sighed and pulled her bag close to her chest, “I don’t like this.”

“Do you regret it?” Momo quickly interjected, probably before Jirou could further commiserate.

“I guess not. It was a fun experience that I hope I recall forever.”

“That’s what fancams are for,” Jirou stated, pulling up her phone. “Everyone is going wild online about… Hold on, how is this trending?”

“What now?” Momo leaned forward towards Jirou, her bangs almost hitting the phone.

“Do you remember the scientist who got trashed for trash-talking soul mates? He’s back for round two. Listen, this is what he wrote: ‘I'm quite amused that the mainstream thought of meeting your soul mate and acquiring your Quirk increases your overall productivity, with the conclusion that society would prosper the most when everyone found their soul mate. I find it a rather ineffective solution to the traditional school of hard work, considering that the chances of meeting your soul mate are low and the proper usage of Quirks takes years to master. There's a definite trade-off between time spent and actual success … and it's not in your favour.’”

Ochako blinked slowly, not certain she had the attention span to understand it anyway.

“That is quite the negative view,” Momo commented, returning to her seat. Ochako couldn’t see it because of the table, but both Momo and Jirou were probably doing some couple-stuff with their feet… whatever that could be. “You gain an ability without drawbacks and someone to rely on. Not everyone can use their Quirk for work-related purposes but surely every Quirk has some application. Even if mastering it is impossible, there’s an additional ability for you to use daily.”

“You would know that,” Jirou said and scoffed light-heartedly.

Momo shrugged. “This has been my experience.”

Ochako thought about her parents, both Quirkless and happily married. Even though the family business was stagnating for several reasons, Ochako doubted that Quirks could save them from what felt like inevitable bankruptcy. It was a laughable concept, honestly. The Quirks that appeared after meeting your soul mate ranged from barely changing anything at all to something life-changing, such as severely altering your appearance. Thus, Quirks could not only be hard to master but also negatively affect your life.

“I can eavesdrop on the people living below my apartment now, which is interesting, but other than that I don’t feel more productive than I did before. Not that I was particularly productive before…” Jirou touched her earlobes.

“My parents have been married forever now and they are both Quirkless,” Ochako said after some contemplation. “I can’t imagine them doing better than they are now, even if they had Quirks. If they had met their soul mates, perhaps they would never have started their business and done other things instead.”

“Exactly, people can mess up their lives even if they have Quirks.”

“What I meant was that Quirks won’t trump hard work or common sense.”

“That too.”

Until Ochako reached her stop, the trio continued to talk about easier-to-digest topics. Once again braving the cold air, Ochako left the warmth of the train and continued forward into the night.

Meanwhile, Y/N just entered the train from Tokyo Dome back to the city. Everyone in her section had started leaving the concert while the outro song was playing, their backs coloured with lights from the scene. She had remained seated for some time, basking in the cozy afterglow of the concert and refusing normalcy until she took her first step outside the Dome. Until that happened, the concert did not end.

Her gaze had travelled from the different sections to the empty stage and filled exits, searching for something. Perhaps a reason to stay even longer or to leave in all haste. She felt that if she left, a part of her would remain here in the nosebleeds. It was inevitable that she’d have to move on, sooner or later, and this realization made her chest drop.

Ochako accidentally grasped the door handle with all her fingers and cursed, the strange pressure inside the pit of her stomach growing. Carefully, she pushed down the handle and mechanically opened the door, smiling awkwardly before her visitors. Immediately after she forced her fingertips together and backed away, wringing her hands in front of her as her stomach relaxed. Momo, peering over a huge paper bag she held against her torso, gave her a sympathetic look. Jirou shut the door after entering.

“Thank you for shopping for me!” Ochako couldn’t help but move around, her irritation fading when her friends brought the merchandise into the kitchen.

“Don’t mention it,” Jirou said, getting the merchandise out of the bag and onto the counter.

“I really do feel for you, Ochako,” Momo said, stretching to reach the uppermost cupboard shelves. “It is unfortunate that it isn’t a complete activation type Quirk, which would be much simpler to handle.”

“When you learn how to use it properly you won’t even need Momo to put away the merchandise.”

Ochako approached to help out of instinct but was curtly shooed away by Momo. Instead she retreated to the table, watching her friends to all the work her shoulder slouched. She braced her elbows against her knees and placed her chin against her knuckles. “As long as I’m deliberate about where I place my fingers I can manage… I’ll survive.”

Momo looked back at her with a smile. “Happy to hear you. You’ve seemed… sad these last few days.”

With reluctance, Ochako acknowledged inside her head that that was an understatement. Her life post-concert had been veiled in nostalgic filters; when she wasn’t studying she visited her memories through videos and photos and when she didn’t do either her heart ached. The heartache felt similar to the pains she had growing up, reviewing her old memories of childhood and wishing she could relive it. However, she couldn’t tell whether reliving it would release her from this longing or chain her down further. Perhaps it would be like replaying a game from your childhood. In your memories, you had the best of times, yet the pleasure and novelty were now not as intense. This arduous craving would be fulfilled, leaving behind the knowledge that once you experience something you can’t get it again. More importantly, she didn’t know whether it stemmed from the event itself or meeting her soul mate.

Her Quirk had surprised her the morning after the concert, which she deduced meant that she had bumped into her soul mate there. What made her feel sick was the realization that any person she had touched could be her soul mate. A person without any relevance to her current life, who didn’t know her as a person. Someone who only desired her because of some mysterious fuck up. Conversely, what kind of life would she be intruding upon if they ever met again? Would the fact that it was impossible to find that person mean that she was in a constant state of longing?

“You know, I thought it was the post-concert depression hitting me afterwards but I’m not certain anymore,” Ochako mumbled. She described her feelings while Jirou and Momo nodded affirmatively.

“I guess you could describe it as nostalgia,” Momo mused and tapped her lip with a finger. “Sounds like what I experience when I’m away from Jirou for an extended amount of time.” Ochako grimaced as Jirou confirmed the sentiment. “I’m just getting my life together and this happens. I really don’t want to chase after the shadow of someone who may be my soul mate. It’ll be impossible to find that person. All I want to do is take over the family business and I don’t want someone else’s influence to steer me away from that.”

“You can take over the business and find your soul mate without compromising either. It’s just a matter of endurance.”

It had taken her an hour of writing and re-writing the same 3 sentences before eventually leaning back and pressing enter with an empty look on her face. Ochako was feeling rather bored with this soul mate ordeal. According to the Quirk specialist she had visited, there would be no emotional damage even if she never found her soul mate. It happened surprisingly often that people would randomly acquire Quirks from touching a stranger, only to never meet them again. Thus, her bout of sadness had been demoted to the good old post-concert depression. The specialist did warn her that if she ever came into contact with this person again she would probably be emotionally affected.

Therefore, that should have been the end of it.

It wasn’t.

Two weeks had passed since the concert and only now did she dare to write a post asking whether someone else from the same section acquired their Quirk then. Her drive to know stemmed partly from curiosity and partly from the knowledge that the future could possibly be better if this person was in her life. However, now that it was confirmed that she would remain herself and that her goals would be the same, she felt thankful and thought that the logical action would be to withdraw. After all, she had a new ability which could prove useful. It was maddening to simultaneously encounter herself in these two extremes.

Her necessity for relief from the rigid tension inside became palpable when she couldn't bear leaving her computer chair to take a shower. Without supervising all new comments, she could accidentally miss a comment from people having attended the concert in the same section. When she felt like there would be few updates, she hurriedly threw together some food and regressed back into her room.

After 9PM, her post in the concert group for that particular date was gaining traction, negative and positive alike. No one claimed to have awakened their Quirk back then. She remained by the edge of her seat, yet she was not surprised at this development. At most, this would be one of the big question marks of her life. Why was this any different to not knowing what would’ve happened if she had gone to another school or what if she had had a different set of parents? It wouldn’t solve her current issues and not her future issues, which she would have tons of if she didn’t straighten herself out.

Imagine going bankrupt because you’re this obsessed with a stranger, she chided herself and sighed deeply. Her bottomless need to refresh the page and scour the comments turned her mood foul. With a sharp click she exited the browser and shut down the computer. These two weeks of longing and dillydallying had been memorable… but reality was calling her back, even after the short memory exposition she relived every time she used her Quirk.

Today Y/N exited the health care facility carrying a booklet about Quirks, paperwork and a diary. Two days ago her partner had discovered that three ink black spots on her back changed places every few days. They had been worried about it being some dermatological issue, which was refuted by tests. Indeed, evaluation proved that Y/N was healthy and that the three spots were parts of her Quirk. As far as she knew, they had been on her back for a few years and she had never noticed them moving about. After all, who examines their back that often?

Because Y/N didn’t notice anything strange other than the moving spots the specialist mused whether it could detect meteorological changes or something subtle. However, since there was no data to collect about it Y/N was sent home with a diary where she would describe eventual changes. While she was relieved that it wasn’t a health scare, she wondered how long ago she acquired it and how the other person had reacted. Had they been angry or scared? She imagined that most people with flashier and active Quirks could not forget about something like that, but hers was insignificant and knowing that she had a Quirk didn’t change a single thing.

True to her thoughts, after four days of writing in her Quirk diary it was buried beneath a stack of paper on her desk, forgotten behind the normalcy of life.

No way but up part 3

Part 1

Part 2

The crowd continued to file into the stands as they approached capacity. The master of the arena looked upon the audience lovingly, not a matronly or even benevolent love, but the love that a shepherd feels for their sheep as they are in the stalls waiting to be fleeced. This wasn’t an arena for trueborn socialites or high ranking Kabal members, it was an arena for low level Kabalists and halfborn tradesmen who had only just recently shucked the yoke of slavery; these disadvantaged Drukhari became parched just as all other Drukhari but didn’t possess the means to obtain their own slaves. The arena master smiled broadly at the comfortable life she’d built herself, having learned that these dregs would trade nearly everything they owned to stave off she who thirsts. 

Darnah Fel turned away from the view of her arena and returned to the buffet within her personal sky box, selecting an assortment of delicacies onto a plate while completely ignoring the human slaves around her. Three of the slaves she had selected to serve the food were intentionally starved and emaciated, keeping them near the buffet allowed her to sample the misery of their hunger pangs and rumbling bellies as they were forced to smell the exquisitely prepared food. Another three slaves stood directly opposite them, with the instruction to observe the malnourished and immediately report any attempts to steal food; there was no practical reason for it Darnah Fel just found it amusing that when you arbitrarily gave humans privilege, through no merit of their own they felt superior and immediately began to abuse what little power they were afforded.

She went through a mental checklist as she leaned against the balcony with her hors d'oeuvres in hand; advertising had been a success based on attendance, a small fleet of Raiders stood ready near the ticket exchange to ferry overflow customers above the arena at twice the initial ticket price. She’d also prepared several splinter cannon stations around the perimeter to convince any Raiders or Reavers not under her banner to keep their distance. She’d even pared down the amount of gladiator slaves she’d allowed killed over the past several weeks in expectation of a particularly bloody show. Her unexpected guest of honor in the adjacent skybox was the only uncalculated variable for the evening, the thought of whom caused her to nervously scarf down her food and return to the buffet for a fourth plate. 

The spectator Raiders began to circle around the edge of the arena as the first event began, a sky game between a flight of Scourges and a pack of Hellions; each group had a designated leader which they had to defend while simultaneously attacking the enemy leader, first team to kill the others leader won. The Scourges gleefully opened up with a multitude of heavy weapons while the Hellions made comparatively more conservative strafing runs with their splinter pods; in the opening volleys no hits were landed between the teams, but stray rounds peppered the crowd with varying levels of destruction. The weak were cowed by the deaths in their midst, while the strong were emboldened by the fear in the air. It was a nuance that the larger arenas failed to harness Fel thought, the fear of the audience was just as important to her and her Hektarii as the deaths and anguish from the events were to the audience; it was how she managed to keep the arena running without having to sacrifice thousands of slaves a night, keeping her budget in the more frugal hundreds of slaves killed.

The Scourges took an initial lead downing two of the opposing Hellions, but the Hellions rallied after discerning the bobbing evasive pattern the Scourges used and began pinning them in; the Scourges were now at a disadvantage being used to the battlefield rather than the arena, where they could retreat from combat and allow their opponents to become distracted by less fortunate allies before once again swooping in. Of the three remaining Hellions whichever was currently under the most fire would continue to run as a decoy while the other two moved into a flanking maneuver to employ their glaives. After several failed runs the Hellion flankers ran a gauntlet of defensive fire before neatly dismembering the Scourge leader and taking off in opposite directions; the Scourge leaders remains fell in at least four unequal parts to the arena floor below. 

The Hellions had won and the surviving members of the teams were ushered off to receive their rewards; Fel didn’t believe in executing the losers, instead the Scourge had likely already made arrangements for his resurrection and the Hellions would simply recruit new members assuming they didn’t already have them waiting in the wings. In a few weeks she’d extend an invitation for a rematch and bill it as a grudge fight, it reduced her overhead and provided a broader amount of willing contenders as there weren’t such harsh consequences for failure; harnessing the natural infighting between members of her own race was yet another aspect of Fel’s financial micromanaging tactics, when Drukhari were willing to kill each other her stable of gladiator slaves didn’t require as much replenishing.

The next event was something of a free for all, one hundred and fifty Cultists were herded into the center of the arena before ten Beastmasters and the Khymerae under their control surrounded the Chaos followers. She had heard that the cultists, worshippers of the blood god if she remembered correctly, were comically easy to capture; One of the ships of her meager Kabal intercepted emergency hails from an imperial world, and after basking in the destruction caused by the Khornate rampagers simply landed and allowed them to board the cargo holds before quashing their fury with a nerve agent. It was the kind of brilliance and conservation of effort she appreciated and saw to it the Captain was given an appropriate bonus. The crackle of more warp beasts arriving from the immaterium brought her attention back to the arena; the creatures plodded and stalked around their beastmasters awaiting the command to attack, to which the cultists formed undisciplined ranks and began chanting and drumming on their bodies without any sense of rhythm. 

Overwhelmed in their fervor some of the cultists broke away and charged the warp beasts, being ripped to shreds in no more than a second once within reach of their unnaturally configured claws and fangs. As the Beastmasters closed in the Cultists finally committed to an attack, throwing themselves forward in droves. “Graah!” Darnah Fel joined in on the Cultists battle cry mockingly, chuckling as the Khymerae tore through swaths of them in different attack patterns according to their masters whims. The Succubus Archon held a particular disdain for followers of chaos, humans so weak in their own conviction as to commit the ultimate ego death and submit themselves willingly as playthings to the ruinous powers. That of course didn’t stop her from relishing their deaths, in fact serving only to increase her delight as she could taste the last nanoseconds of sheer doubt that cut through their blind rage; universally their last thoughts were the realization there would be no reward for their worship before they simply ceased to exist in this reality nor the next any longer.

The Cultists were only ever intended to be obstacles for the Beastmasters, the true battle ensuing between them after clearing enough of the cultists to maneuver; two of the rookie Beastmasters were overwhelmed and beaten to death by gaggles of the chaos worshippers, their Khymerae vanishing back into the warp upon their deaths. Several more of the contenders were eliminated by their peers, most of which were caught off guard while distracted by the droves of Cultists. Nearing the end of the battle only two of the Drukhari were left, the remaining Cultists seeing sense for the first time and staying near the edges of the arena where the audience could throw their food and drink onto them from above as well as derisive insults and laughter at their cowardice. Unsurprisingly one of the beastmasters was her current champion while the other was a young upstart who had only recently been introduced to her arena. They engaged each other in melee while their remaining beasts did the same, the champion with a single large creature with horns similar to a Mon’keigh bovine, and the upstart with a pair of smaller but heavily muscled Khymerae which phased in and out of existence with an ease Darnah Fel had never before seen. 

Her champion was the superior combatant forcing the upstart onto his backfoot with each strike, wearing away at his defenses; the beast fought their own battle, but the smaller creatures of the upstart seemed to have the advantage in this regard, striking, fading, and striking once more in tandem against the larger Khymerae. A veteran of the arena herself, Fel finally spotted the pattern the upstart was taking advantage of; the more of an advantage her champion had in single combat the further he allowed his summoned creature to drift away from him, drawing it near only when the upstarts beasts sought to attack him. The upstart continued to barely fend off the assault of her champion until the opportunity he was waiting for presented itself, one of his beasts phased out of existence reappearing behind her champion and neatly separating his head from his shoulders with one of its lashing claws. The arena burst into a thunderous cheer and applause at the unexpected turn of events, even Fel herself clapping in delight at the surprising display; despite her attachment to her previous champion she now had a new one, and if she felt so inclined might decide to resurrect the previous one just to feed on his outrage at having lost.

Finally, it was time for the main event as three groups of gladiators were released from their pens to wander into the arena; one group was comprised of the Imperial Mon’keigh, another of the ally races of the Tau empire, and finally a group of her Aeldari cousin taken from both Exodite colonies and Craftworlds. Each group not only fought for their lives, but the incentive of more comfortable accomodations until their next battle within the arena; comfortable beds, clean clothing, and better rations which they had been denied. All three of the groups adopted defensive postures but made no immediate aggressive moves towards one another; the crowd jeered and booed at the gladiators hoping that would provoke them into violent action but they continued to group together nervously with their weapons at their sides, seeming to wait for something. Fel allowed this to continue, feeling as if it was helping to build the anticipation until it reached the five minute mark at which point she decided to prod them a bit to get the ball rolling.

With a wave of her hand a nearby attendant began speaking softly into a communication crystal, and no more than a moment later a fourth pen opened. To her surprise the modified Tyranid organisms within didn’t come flooding out snapping their mandibles and clicking their claws together in excitement, only a few of the Hormagaunts poking their heads out into the artificial sun. She openly frowned, noting their strange behavior with a growing sense of apprehension, it wasn’t until the carnifex came plodding into the arena with a naked Mon’keigh standing atop it with one of her halfborn slaves riding side saddle behind him clutching her arm in a makeshift sling that she finally felt a pit in her stomach; what she was witnessing simply should not have been possible. She hated to admit it was somewhat exhilerating, she had heard of the trouble the Mon’keigh had caused to have been thrown into solitary confinement with the Tyranid but there was no way she could have predicted that he would seemingly thrive in such an environment; she could only hope the isolation had driven him mad and that he would attack the other gladiators as they all turned to face the new threat.

She was so fascinated by the Mon’keigh sauntering into the arena she barely heard the soft voice from behind her. “Is there a problem dear cousin?” the sultry voice inquired causing Fel to abruptly spin to face it, recognizing it immediately as the guest who should have been in the next skybox; rather than use the attached door her guest had simply leapt the few meters between boxes without making a sound. “Of course not dear cousin, all part of the show.” Fel lied with a practiced ease, masking the mounting fear she felt as she prepared to be interrogated by arguably the greatest gladiatrix ever produced by the dark city, her pleasant voice completely at odds with her hardened, muscular physique. She stood alongside Fel, dwarfing her by several inches as she crossed her arms and faced the arena. “Well, let’s hope that’s the case then.” The larger woman offered as she squared up the Mon’keigh in the arena. “Of course it is, how else would a meer Mon’keigh be able to command the bioforms without my help?” She feigned offense to her stone faced compatriot, fearing she may have just dug herself deeper into the lie.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Season 4 News

Xbox’s Chris Charla was joined by Console Producer Koo Sung Jeong and Console Community Lead Ray Kim, from the PUBG Corporation to debut the Season 4 update for PUBG.

One of the biggest changes in Season 4 is a massive, stunning visual update to the original PUBG map, Erangel. Many of the famous landmarks, such as Military Base and Mylta Power have seen upgrades and beyond the new look and feel, fans can expect newly balanced weapons and vehicles. And keep a sharp eye out, as secret clues have been added that help develop the lore of Erangel and give fans a sense of what happened on this dangerous island.

We also announced a much-requested feature, cross-platform play for console! This will allow Xbox players to join matches and compete against PlayStation players, enabling matchmaking to draw from a larger pool globally and offer more competition for players. The PUBG team is aiming to have the cross-platform play feature on the Pubic Test Server (PTS, a free download from the Microsoft Store) in late September and release to live servers in October

Season 4 also introduces Survivor Pass: Aftermath, which allows players to unlock over 100 rewards, as well as brand new cooperative missions, which allow the community to work together to accomplish special milestones to unlock new rewards.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint PVP Reveal

Leading off the show was the reveal of Ghost War, the intense, tactical 4v4 competitive multiplayer mode that will launch with Ghost Recon: Breakpoint on October 4. Ghost War, which will take place on dedicated servers, rewards communication and cooperation within teams amongst the open and diverse maps on offer. The Shared Progression system also ensures that whether you’re playing PVE or PVP your character is always evolving and progressing.

Wasteland 3 New Gameplay Trailer

Wasteland 3 also debuted a trailer chock full of brand new gameplay, including the first look at the mysterious Patriarch, who lures your Desert Ranger from the post-nuclear wastes of Arizona with a promise of aid if you can help rescue his land from the grips of his three bloodthirsy children. The new trailer also showcased the first footage of the Kodiak, an upgradeable battle-truck that will play a key role in the game. We also saw the new precision strike system, where players will be granted a first-person view, allowing them to target enemy weak points, adding an additional tactical layer to a series known for its strategic approach to combat.

Empire of Sin Reveal

At E3 Romero Games and Paradox Interactive gave us a glimpse at the noir stylings of 1920s Chicago in their upcoming title, Empire of Sin, but at gamescom we were treated to an interview with both Brenda and John Romero, who provided a first in-depth look at the gameplay that will drive your experience through the criminal underworld.

Metro Exodus: The Two Colonels

Metro Exodus debuted its first major story expansion, The Two Colonels, which harkens back to the series’ roots with a tense, claustrophobic journey through Novosibirsk. As the name suggests, you’ll take control of two brand-new protagonists, Colonel Khlebnikov, who you’ll journey with in the last days of his life, and Colonel Miller, who will investigate what befell his fallen comrade.

The Two Colonels will also offer a brand-new tool for exploration and eradication: the flamethrower! Like the classic Tikhar, you’ll need to pump up the flamethrower to maintain its power and effectiveness. This first expansion is the first or two promised new storylines, with the even larger Sam’s Story set to release in early 2020.

Destiny 2

The upcoming Shadowkeep expansion for Destiny 2 returns players to the moon, and Bungie Game Director Ben Wommack was on hand to not only discuss the mischief Eris Morn is getting into, but also reveal a definitive look at the final Finishers that Guardians will wield when the expansion drops on October 1.

Barter

Title: Barter

Category: Digimon

Rating:  T

Pairing: Ami/Arata

Summary:  Ami finds the perfect gift for Arata, but she doesn’t have the money for it. Good thing she knows how to barter.

Prompt: “I scalped my Hamilton tickets to pay for it.”

Disclaimer: I don’t own any rights to the Digimon franchise and I did not abandon my babies

~~Story Begins~~

She didn’t come prepared for rain. In fact, Ami didn’t come prepared for any weather expect for perfect temperatures and the sun. The heavens had other plans because it started to rain like cats and dogs.

She had at least found an old little shop to go inside. She browsed the shelves of books. She was looking for a perfect present for one of her friends who wanted to make his birthday a bit more special. She checked every shelf level, titles, and their summaries if they seemed to be something that he would enjoy.

Valentine’s Day was approaching and with it came Arata’s birthday. He strongly disliked it (he actually used the word hate, but Ami could never say that word because she was extremely happy that he was born).

She knew she was going to bake him a small vanilla cake homemade for Valentine’s Day, but she also wanted to give him a different present. A birthday present.

Ami sighed as she looked out the window to see it was still raining. There was nothing on the shelves that really screamed Arata, but a couple of the books did seem like something he would be interested in.

“Need any help?” a voice said from behind Ami. She turned around to face a middle-aged man who stood behind the glass counter.

“Not really, just browsing while the rain comes down,” Ami said. She looked inside the glass cabinet and tapped one of her gloved fingers against the glass above a book. “What’s this book here?”

“That is the last book for the Bakuden Delete. It is super rare and expensive,”  the man said.

“How much?” she said. Her blue eyes took a quick glance behind the man to see if there was anything that she could use to help him drop the price or something she had to barter with.

Her eyes spotted the red circle on a date that was two days away with Hamilton written in red. She looked at the computer he was on and saw he had a ticket site up with prices for Hamilton tickets.

“16,432.25 yen,” the man said.

“He is going to kill me,” Ami said.

“Oh?  So this is for a guy?”

“Yes. A good friend of mine.”

“You wished he was more. I can see it in your eyes. They look so much like my daughter’s when she talks about her crush.”

Ami felt the heat creep up on her cheek and nodded her head. “Yes, but baby steps first right?  Anyway, he was born on Valentine’s Day and I want to give him a birthday present. I already know what to give him for Valentine’s.”

“I was born on a holiday too. It sucks. I’ll drop it down to 16,200.25,” the man said.

“They cost 10,000 yen for the deluxe box set,” Ami said, “online. Why so much  for this one?”

“It ’s rare. They are out of print,” the man said.

“8,000 online for the same book you have in the cabinet,” Ami said with a shake of her head. “Why the huge price increase?”

“Are you interested in the book or not?”  the man said.

“Very interested, but you are pricing it very high. I just want to know if there is a reason behind it,” Ami said. She was going to buy it anyway and come back with cash so Arata wouldn’t be able to track the present back to her so easily.

The man sighed. “Fine. I promised my little girl that I’ll take her to go see Hamilton, but they were a lot more expensive than I thought. I was hoping the ticket prices would be cut in half, but they only went up more.”

“Perhaps a trade. It can benefit us,” Ami said. “In exchange for this book,” she tapped her finger against the glass case again,  “plus a couple of books that are on the shelves, I will give you two deluxe V.I.P tickets to Hamilton.”

She took off her bag and opened it. She reached inside to grab her wallet and pulled out two crisp tickets for Hamilton.

“You know how expensive these are, right?” Ami said with a smile.

“They are very expensive,” he said looking at the tickets. “However, I cannot accept your deal because it is an uneven deal. I’m a fair man and all that you request is the price for only one of those tickets.”

“Perhaps, but I am not worried about that,” Ami said.

“The rain is still coming down pretty hard,” the man said. “Go ahead and browse some more. I will add up that you bring to the counter and if you want another rare item from my cabinet let me know. We will make a deal when your purchase is close to the price of your two tickets. Deal?”

“Deal,” Ami said. She handed over the tickets to the man and started her shopping.

~~Digimon~~

Arata glared at the mountain of chocolate heart boxes that were given to him earlier. Nokia and Yuuko even gave him a box of chocolate even knowing that he didn’t want any nor would he eat them. He only wanted to stay home and mop all day because, like usual,  no one wished him a happy birthday.

Except for two people; Ami and Yuugo.

“At least Ami listened to my request of not giving me anything,” Arata grumbled. He sent a glare to the unwrapped birthday gift present that Yuugo gave him. It was a membership to an exclusive computer group that Arata had already joined and got kicked out of. It wasn’t his fault that he kept proving the leaders wrong with their ‘security programs’ that he kept hacking into.

Someone started to knock on his door which caused Arata to focus his attention on the door.

“I have a package for Mr. Sanada,” the person said from outside.

Arata opened the door and stared at the delivery man. “I’m Sanada, but I haven’t ordered anything in a while.”

“Cool man. These are actually gifts that I’m delivering for a friend,” the man said.  He handed the packages over to Arata. “I need to go back to work now. Cya.”

The delivery person left and Arata shut the door. He studied the two packages as one of them felt warm still.

“Who ordered this?” Arata said. He put the rectangular box down on the table as he sat down. He opened the warm one to see a miniature cake in one of the glass display cases bakeries use to preserve their cakes.

“Whoever they are, they know me,” Arata said as he sat the cake down to go grab himself a fork. He came back and uncovered the cake before he took a small bite. A rare smile on his face as the cake melted in his mouth. “This is definitely vanilla cake and delicious. It isn’t made out of a box cake mix either.”

He kept eating the warm cake as Arata proceeded to open the other present. The box actually led to another box that had the words ‘Happy Birthday’ in beautiful handwriting even though it looked slightly messy.

He opened the box slowly before he shut it the lid to it. He took a deep breath and opened the box. His eyes didn’t play a trick on him. He closed the lid and got up to set the fork and cake display in his sink.

He needed to have a serious talk with someone.

~~Digimon~~

Ami looked around her kitchen one more time. There wasn’t any sign of her wrapping a couple of special presents that could give her away. The only sign that she even baked today was in her sink.

Of course, her favorite bakeware would need to soak in the sink before she washed them to make them spotless again. Then again, it was the downfall of making everything from scratch in order to get the cake she knew he would enjoy.

She looked over at the stack of books that sat on her kitchen counter.

“I’ll wrap you fellows up later when I can figure out how to give you to Arata without him knowing,” Ami said with a sigh. “I hope he’s at least having fun on his birthday. The downfalls of  still being  a minor.”

Ami laid down on her couch and stared at the smaller stack of books. “What to do on a day with zero plans? Mom canceled at last minute because of her boyfriend there in Spain,”  she said with pain in her voice that she usually doesn’t let out.

“Sleep sounds good,” Ami said with a yawn. She knows what happens whenever the pain she hides shows up in her voice, she will begin to think of the sad memories and broken promises of her past.

She closed her eyes and within moments she was asleep on her couch.

~~Digimon~~

When Ami woke up, she felt like someone was staring at her. She tilted her head back against the arm of the couch and was met with a pair of angry grey eyes.

“Oh, happy birthday Arata,” Ami said in greeting as she tried to blink the sleep out of her eyes. “I didn’t hear you come in.”

“How did you buy it?” Arata said.

“Buy what?”

Arata held the box up that held the manga in it. “This.”

“Uh...not much? Boxes don’t seem to be all that expensive.”

“I meant the thing that is inside the box.”

“Isn’t there better ways to spend your birthday than harassing me over a box?”

“You got me the last chapter over Bakuen Delete,” Arata said. “You got me that for Valentine’s Day.”

Ami almost retorted that it was his birthday present, but bit her lip. “Happy Valentine’s Day as well,” she said.

“Ami,”  Arata said with a growl. “I know you sent me those two presents.”

“Two presents?”

“A vanilla bean homemade cake that I already ate. It was still warm when I received it and this,” Arata said and held the box up again.

“I give out a lot of boxes in a year,” Ami said. “Besides, you told us not to give you anything for Valentine’s Day or birthday. However, I still got you something and they are sitting on the counter.”

Arata’s glare hardened and Ami realized her mistake. She sat up just as Arata went to go check out her counter. She turned around to say something to stop him but he let out a sound that she has never heard come from him before, but it sounded mad.

“How exactly did you get all these books? How much did you spend?” Arata said.  “Your kitchen also states that you did bake me that cake.”

“Fine,”  Ami said in defeat. “Bakuen Delete is your birthday present instead.”

“About time you admitted it,” Arata said. “Your half asleep mind can’t keep up, can it? The only thing that is in the kitchen that signals  you did any baking is the sink.”

Arata was now on a receiving end of a glare.

“How did you get it? How did  you get  all  of this?” Arata asked.

“Why should I tell you?”

“Because the book is expensive and hard to come by,” Arata said. “I also made sure no one came in after  I did because you decided to take a nap with the door unlocked.”

“I didn’t pay anything for it really. I bartered for it.”

“How?”

“I scalped my Hamilton tickets to pay for it.  The price the owner had on the book was close to the equivalent someone had to pay for a deluxe ticket at last minute. I gave him both of my tickets for some of his merchandise.”

“You didn’t have too. I would’ve been fined if I never got it.”

“No take-backs,” Ami said. She sighed and looked at Arata. “Isn’t today your 20th birthday? You need to treat is as Americans do with their 21st birthday and party. Go have fun.”

Ami had to move her legs quickly as Arata sat down on the couch next to her with the stack of books.

“I  might stay here and read all my presents. I’ll much rather celebrate when couples aren’t everywhere, besides you look like you need someone to talk to you,” Arata said.

“I won’t talk to the birthday boy about my problems,” Ami said as she nudged his side with her foot. “Good choice on staying in through.”

~~The End~~

Day 11: Cusco - In Which I Eat An Alpaca

I was still reeling from the effects of altitude sickness as I awoke, today. Less so than I had been the previous night, but still enough to keep me from being my normal, chipper self

Pictured.

We (Sam, who it should be noted, was not suffering from altitude sickness to the same degree that I was) decided that we should continue ignoring all available medical advice and spend the day, not resting, but instead exploring the historical centre of Cusco. I had, in theory, managed to argue her down to it being a small, relaxed excursion, but knew deep in my heart of hearts, that in practice, this probably wasn't going to end up being the case.

We plodded our way down the same route as we had taken the evening, before, down a million and three sets of stairs, past an almost solid stream of conmen, tat-peddlers and women holding baby alpacas, who apparently demand money should you want to touch them , take photos of them, or even look at them for too long (the alpacas- not the women). As bad as Iquitos had been for people trying to take money off of us, Cusco was ten times worse. Fortunately though, I am basically a curmudgeonly old miser, counting his coppers in a lavish mansion which he shares with no one but the ghosts of childhood loves, and so, they have yet to squeeze even a single sole out of me and I will do literally everything in my power to make it stay that way.

We wove our way to the main square of Cusco: the Plaza De Armas, through a slalom of gaudy souvenir shops, which were all basically the same with the prices of the tat changed based on how much extra the owner thought he could squeeze out of you, and soon arrived at our, not entirely unimpressive, destination.

Beautiful, yet irritating.

After a quick poke around the historical centre, wherein the sheer density of people trying to rip us off must have increased tenfold (making it one hundred times worse than Iquitos- a statistic which I absolutely stand by), we broke away from the plaza to quickly ascertain the meeting point for the excursion we had planned for the next day – Quad biking around the mountains, salt-flats and various points of historical intrigue; an outing for which the cost, as we had only learned in the past couple of days, did not include the approximately twenty extra pound ticket prices for the sites we were set to visit, during it, so that was a cool thing to find out when running low on money. Fortunately though, as irritating as it was no doubt going to be having to pay all those extra soles, that we could not spare, the agency's office was remarkably easy to find and took nearly no time at all to get to.  I suppose you could call that a silver lining, if you tried hard enough.

We moved quickly on to the nearby San Pedro market; a loud, bustling bazaar, in the centre of the city. The market was pretty much what you'd expect, from such a place; dimly lit, packed to bursting with all manner of trinkets, food, smoothies and alpaca clothing and generally just not a hugely relaxing place to be for anyone with even the faintest whiff of anxiety. We meandered around the stalls for a while, our hands, probably unnecessarily glued to our belongings – a behavioural remnant of our days in Iquitos – taking in what was on offer. Sam bought a smoothie, which much to her delight actually ended up being two smoothies and I bought nothing at all, because, as mentioned previously, I am a miser, sharing a mansion with the ghosts of lost loves.

We decided to risk getting some lunch at the market, despite each purveyor of food looking thoroughly filthy and almost certain to give us some kind of intestinal parasite. Almost as if her body were pre-emptively warning her, however, the last remnants of Sam's illness reared their ugly head(s) once more and forced us to leave San Pedro, in order to find her a bathroom.

After around a fifteen minute search and a lot of complaining, we found one. Unperturbed by what had just happened, however, Sam insisted that she would like to return to the market to try some of its dirty, dirty food, which I suppose you could describe as brave, if you tried hard enough.

We settled on a stall, which literally could have been any other stall, there – they were all basically identical – and I ordered lomo saltado, a sort of beef stir-fry sort of thing, except with chips all through it, which was as weird as it sounds and also about as good as you'd imagine it might be, being bought from a market-stall. It was also served with what had to be close to a quarter of a kilogram of rice, which is just simply not an amount of food that a human could conceivably consume in a single sitting. Sam, still feeling a little peaky opted for a chicken soup, which may as well have been served in a bucket. It, too, was an absolutely staggeringly huge portion and loaded with noodles and dumplings, to boot. Neither of us even came close to finishing our meals, though for like 15 soles each, even we found it fairly difficult to complain about the value. Not impossible, though, I should note.

My pedometer was now readying over ten thousand steps, which definitely is not an amount you'd associate with a relaxed, easy going outing and so, now feeling thoroughly grotty thanks to altitude sickness, once more, we decided to head back to the apartment. We wove, in reverse, through largely the same souvenir shops we had been to on the way there, except uphill, so much, much less fun and by the time we had actually arrived back home to our little icebox of a house, I had once again been stamped, haphazardly into the ground by the big boot that was high altitude sickness.

After a long rest, which may or may not have involved naps, we decided to head out again to an incredibly well-reviewed burger restaurant, around five minutes walk away.

It was busy when we arrived, though, there being just two in our party, we managed to get a table, basically right away. Sam and I both ordered the same thing – an alpaca burger, with Andean cheese (because novelty of eating something that appallingly cute was hard to ignore) and were delighted to realise that the burger (a relatively cheap affair at 18 soles each) came with a free drink. Less pleasing was the fact that the free drink could not be a bottle of water and instead had to be half a pint of passionfruit juice, served in a manky glass. Sam drank both of ours, because I definitely wouldn't have touched mine with a shitty stick.

The burger itself was very nice, though. Cooked to perfection and from what I could taste - my sense of smell still not having quite recovered fully – very delicious. It was not helped however, by being smothered in quite a strong tasting fruity sauce, which didn't really let me experience the full flavour of the alpaca, , but that is probably a minor niggle at most. It even came with a side of fries and five little dollops of all different sauces, nearly all of which I could take or leave. I also had a big chunk of bone in the middle of my burger, which I nearly broke a tooth on, but didn't, in the end so 10/10 experience.

We made the short trek back to the apartment, which, despite only being five minutes, was still enough to re-fuck me into oblivion and so, much as I had the previous night, I spent my evening swaddled under all the blankets I could find, desperately trying to keep any amount of warmth I had left still inside my body, as I blogged and bibbled and bedded and secretly wished for death.

Best time for NRIs to invest in Indian Luxury Real Estate

The Indian real estate sector has continued to thrive over the years, even surviving a pandemic. The advent of the pandemic did raise some concerns regarding the future of the industry, but the contrary happened as robust sales were recorded. Frankly, the pandemic was a catalyst that changed the way home buyers saw a home, to everything that they needed from it. Following this, the reduction of stamp duty, and unchanged left circle rates helped with the rise in demand, leading to the NRI community’s sudden spike in interest in this sector. As time passes, the Indian real estate sector is going to be a promising investment choice for the NRI community, here’s why:

Residential Real Estate has always been the preferred asset class for NRIs

The preferred investment option for NRIs has traditionally been the Indian real estate sector. The funds remitted by the 32 million NRIs saw an inflow of up to $13.1 billion last year in the residential real estate sector of India and that number is expected to grow by 12% this year. Mumbai and Gurugram are the top markets that have attracted a major chunk of these figures.

INR is at a historic low

The INR has been falling against the USD since the start of the year 2022, going from Rs. 74.40 to hitting an all-time low of Rs. 81.88, scoring a drop of nearly 11%. For Indians, the current downturn has increased the spending cost. NRIs on the other hand, especially those who stay in countries with a stronger currency value, have an advantage as after conversion, the stronger currency ends up multiplying faster, getting a better bargain.

Interest rates are rising globally, but prices in India are falling in some markets, and rising in other markets

Central banks across the globe have started hiking rates in a bid to control inflation. The rise in rates has led to pressure on the housing market notably in the US and China. On the other hand, the investment made in the real estate sector in India is largely by buyers either looking for their own property or homeowners who are planning to upgrade their home by seeking a better and more comfortable space. This has put limited to no pressure on home prices. In fact, we have witnessed prices firming in some pockets of the country.

High demand for luxury housing in India

Historically, NRIs have preferred to invest in the luxury housing segment to suit their lifestyle. The rising income levels in India are also one of the reasons for the high demand in the luxury segment.

Investment in the Indian luxury segment stands to provide a higher rate of appreciation than the development market. Investment in luxury real estate will give higher life-long rental yields as the homes are in demand by affluent people.

According to recent data, average monthly rentals in the prominent luxury micro-markets of the top seven cities increased by 8–18% over the last two years. Worli in Mumbai saw the highest rental growth of 18% during the period, rising from INR 2 lakh per month in 2020 to INR 2.35 lakh in 2022 for luxury homes. Bengaluru’s Rajaji Nagar saw a 16% increase during the same time period, rising from INR 56,000 in 2020 to INR 65,000 in 2022. However, the capital appreciation in these luxury housing markets has remained in the single digits (between 2–9%) over the last two years. Rajaji Nagar in Bengaluru saw the highest capital appreciation of 9%, with average prices rising from INR 5,698 to INR 6,200 per square feet in 2022.

Policy development: Investor-friendly policies by the government for NRIs to invest in Indian Real Estate

The past 5–6 years have seen the Indian real estate sector undergo a tremendous transformation as the sector inches toward becoming a customer-focused market. The imposition of measures and policy initiatives like RERA and regulation around payments have made the market more transparent, credible, and profitable.

Wealthy customers belonging to the niche luxury housing segment have continued to engage in high-ticket transactions, investors and even those on the fence are speeding up their decision-making processes.
