Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis Chapter 7
Cost Volume Profit Analysis • What Is the Break-Even Point? • What Is the Profit at Occupancy Percentages Above Break-Even? • How Do Increases in Fixed Charges Affect Break-Even? • How Many More Rooms Must Be Sold to Recover Cost Increases?
Cost Volume Profit Analysis • How Many Rooms Must Be Sold to Reach a Certain Profit? • What Is the Effect of Profits When Prices, Variable Costs, and Fixed Costs Change? • How Do Labor Rate Changes Affect Profits?
Cost-Volume Profit Assumptions • Fixed Costs Remain Constant During the Period Being Analyzed. • Variable Costs Fluctuate in a Linear Fashion With Revenues. • Variable Costs Are Constant on a Per Unit Basis.
Cost-Volume Profit Assumptions • Productivity Remains Constant. • Revenues Are Proportional to Variable Costs. • There Are No Volume Discounts.
Cost-Volume Profit Assumptions • All Costs Can Be Broken Down Into Their Fixed and Variable Components. • Joint Costs Are Not Eliminated When One Department Is.
CVP Basic Formula • How Much Should Be Charged to Break-Even? • 10 Room Motel • Variable Costs Are $5 Per Room • Fixed Costs Are $2,500
CVP Basic Formula • 250 Rooms Will Be Sold • SP = VC Per Room + (Fixed Costs / Number Rooms Sold) • SP = $5 +( $2,500 / 250) • SP = $15 Per Room
Most Common Expression of CVP Analysis Is a Graph Loss but cover FC Profit Breakeven Loss
CVP Basic Formula • How Much Should Be Charged to Earn $2,000 in a 30 Day Period? • 10 Room Motel • Variable Costs Are $5 Per Room • Fixed Costs Are $2,500
CVP Basic Formula • 250 Rooms Will Be Sold • SP = VC Per Room + (Profit + FC) / Number Rooms Sold • SP = $5 +( $2,000 + $2,500) / 250 • SP = $23 Per Room
CVP Formula for Single Product Analysis • I = Net Income • S = Selling Price • X = Units Sold • V = Variable Costs Per Unit • F = Total Fixed Costs (Plus Profit)
CVP Formula for Single Product Analysis • SX = Total Revenue • VX = Total Variable Costs • Basic Formula for Break-Even (Income Equals 0) • 0 = SX - VX - F
Break-Even Formula Variations • Units Sold at Break-Even • X = F / (S - V) • Fixed Costs at Break-Even • F = SX - VX • Selling Price at Break-Even • S = (F / X) + V
Break-Even Formula Variations • Variable Cost Per Unit at Break-Even V = S - (F / X) • Most Hospitality Operations Sell Multiple Products. Therefore, We Need Additional Tools.
Contribution Margin • Contribution Margin (CM) Is the Selling Price, or Sales, Minus the Variable Cost(s). • Contribution Margin Percentage (Ratio) Is the CM Divided by the Selling Price (or Sales).
Contribution Margin • To Get Break-Even in Units, Divide the Fixed Costs by the Contribution Margin. • To Get Break-Even in Sales Dollars, Divide the Fixed Costs by the Contribution Margin Percentage.
Contribution Margin • Since Our Products Have Different CM, We Use CM Percent (Weighted) a Lot.
Weighted Contribution Margin Percent • The Contribution Margin Percent, or Contribution Margin Ratio (CMR) Says That the Amount Available to Cover Fixed Costs Is the CMR Times the Sales Dollars.
Weighted Contribution Margin Percent • The Weighted CMR Is Computed As Follows: • (Total Revenue - Total Variable Costs) / Total Revenue
Weighted Contribution Margin Percent • Another Way of Looking at it is to Take the Sales Mix Percentage for Each Area (Which in Total Must Add up to 100%) and Multiply That Percentage by the CMR for the Particular Area. Then Add All Results to Get the Weighted CMR.
Weighted Contribution Margin Percent • Divide the Weighted CMR Into the Fixed Costs (and Profit if Applicable) and the Result is the Required Sales Level.
Margin of Safety • Excess of Budgeted or Actual Sales Over Sales at Break-Even • Expressed in Units or Dollars
Sensitivity Analysis • Study of the Sensitivity of Dependent Variables to Changes in Independent Variables • Looks at the Incremental Number of Units Required to Sold to Cover Additional Costs
Operating Leverage • Extent to Which Expenses Are Fixed Rather Than Variable • Highly Levered When Fixed Costs to Variable Costs Is High • Highly Levered Means a Small Increase in Sales Yields a Large Profit (Above Break-Even)
Providing for Income Taxes • In Most Situations We Will Know What the After Tax Income is Needed to be and the Tax Rate. The Problem is to Compute the Before Tax Income (So That it Can be Added to Fixed Costs).
Providing for Income Taxes • Tax = T • Tax Rate = R • After Tax Income = A • Before Tax Income = B
Providing for Income Taxes • B * R = T and B - T = A • Substitute (B * R) for T and We Have: • B - (B * R) = A or B * (1 - R) = A or • B = A / (1 - R)

Fatima unexpectedly discovers courage and joy in the outdoors. Today on the show, Emily talks to Ambreen Tariq about her new book and her social media initiative, BrownPeopleCamping. For Tariq, both efforts are a part of a common vision — to increase diversity in the outdoors and challenge definitions of what it means to belong in nature.

It is a phenomenon rarely noted that virtually every left-wing government since the Second World War, almost all of them elected, has faced vicious, sometimes violent, obstruction by its enemies both internal and foreign.

...Bono’s “inner nerd” really needs to meet my outer skeptic, because in fact his optimistic message about the trajectory of poverty eradication, and the reasons for it, is a flimsy tissue of truths, half-truths and statistics, conveniently skewed to suggest that he and his Western partners in Africa (governments, corporations, foundations) have been doing a great job entirely.

By its gratuitous murder of Muslims in seven or eight countries, Washington has ignited a Muslim response: bitter hatred of the United States. This response is termed “terrorism” by Washington and the war against terrorism serves as a source of endless profits for the military complex and for a police state to “protect” Americans from terrorism, but not from the terrorism of their own government.
It's largely a US imperial tool. It's been so from inception. With few exceptions, the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) marches in lockstep with Washington. It does so shamelessly.

Today's "message" of grotesque inequality, social injustice and war is the propaganda of liberal democracies. By any measure of human behavior, this is extremism. When Hugo Chavez challenged it, he was abused in bad faith; and his successor will be subverted by the same zealots of the American Enterprise Institute, Harvard's Kennedy School and the "human rights" organizations that have appropriated American liberalism and underpin its propaganda.

Now control of government is narrowly concentrated at the peak of the income scale, while the large majority “down below” has been virtually disenfranchised. The current political-economic system is a form of plutocracy, diverging sharply from democracy, if by that concept we mean political arrangements in which policy is significantly influenced by the public will.

Here is an interesting article from Copyblogger.com titled, “Do You Recognize These 10 Mental Blocks to Creative Thinking?. Though this article’s main focus is on creative thinking, it’s content has relevance to many areas of our lives. This article directly relates to aspects of mastering ourselves and our view of the universe which is the ultimate creation. For example, putting ourselves in boxes like “I am not spiritual,” “I am spiritual,” “I am an atheist,” or “I am a Hindu/Christian/Muslim” is very limiting. Breaking these boxes and realizing that we are that one unified life and the creators of this universe, leads us to self-mastery beyond our limited thinking and Narrow Sense of Self can fathom.

Combating Colonialism: Sitka and Lingít Aaní under Tsarist and American Rule
In the first half of the 19th century, the tsarist empire sought to colonize and occupy the land of the Tlingits (Lingít Aaní). In 1867, the United States colonized this land after the departure of the Russians. My project seeks to detail the history of Novo-Arkhangel’sk, modern-day Sitka, Alaska, under Tsarist and American rule in the 1800s. I examine how the Russian-American Company and the American military attempted to establish their presences in and around Sitka and how the Tlingit clans of the Kiks.ádiand Kaagwaantaan resisted and influenced the actions of these colonizers. Through my examination of the tsarist occupation of Sitka, I argue that that the Russians, despite their efforts, were brought into Tlingit politics rather than Tlingits in any way being dominated or controlled by the tsarist empire. I find that the coming of the US military to the region in 1867 was, far from a transfer of power, a new attempt to colonize Lingít Aaní.
My project will be a larger contribution to how occupations function. The tsarist occupation of Lingít Aaní depended heavily on Tlingit goods and foodstuffs and the cooperation of the local Tlingit. I examine the relationship between the Russians and the Tlingitat Novo-Arkhangel’sk, and how the Kiks.ádi and Kaagwaantaan built this relationship to suit their own strategic needs. The American occupation, in contrast, was more based on pure military force and lacked the give and take of the tsarist occupation. Nonetheless, both the American military and the Russian-American Company, despite being quite different entities, engaged in similar activities. My research suggests that occupations are not always a direct application of power on an oppressed local population. Instead, local populations can have great influence over occupations and shape it to meet their own security needs. By cementing an alliance with the occupying Russians, the Sitka Kwaan not only received important material goods from the Russians, but also secured a key military ally against other Tlingit clans. I find that these alliances between Tlingit clans and colonizers became less important after the coming of the Americans, as they relied on coercion more readily than the tsarist empire in southeast Alaska. Still, some continuities existed between tsarist and American colonization, as both sought to extract natural resources from the land. Many of the projects begun by the tsarist governors, like mining and logging, reached greater fruition through the efforts of the Americans. I examine how these economic processes were facilitated by the American military. My research suggests that transfers in colonial powers did not always lead to major policy changes during occupations.

Oregon Resorts Lay Out Covid-19 Mixed Bag For 2020-2021 Season
Oregon's ski and snowboard resorts have unveiled how they plan to deal with COVID-related concerns this winter, and the options are all over the lot -- depending upon seasonal variables and local habits.
On the shoulder of Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge's capacity will be managed by an online reservation system for all -- details TBD. A checkpoint on the access road will update all guests. Only private lessons, no Kids Club, and no resort shuttle to start the season. Previous pass holders have until Oct. 18 to renew; after that, a restricted number of new customers can purchase passes.
Around the corner at Mt. Hood Meadows, officials have a "dynamic daily ticket" system that would slot customers into time slots during peak days. Season passes don't apply, but new passes will be limited, and some pass options won't be for sale.. The Oregon resort will also meter access into lodges -- including the new 23,000-square-foot base lodge -- during busy times.
Mt. Hood SkiBowl will likely require online ticket purchases and reservations for everyone, with limits dictated for season passes and day tickets. Parking permits still required, and expect shuffling among lots.
At Mt. Baker, daily operations will base out of the Heather Meadows area. To start, no plans for capacity restrictions, but they may be put in later in the season. If so, 51% of spots reserved for season pass holders who will have to make a reservation for a day ticket. Ski school limits will evolve, as will special clinics.
Mt. Bachelor all skiers and riders -- regardless of ticket status -- will have to call ahead to reserve a parking spot. Single-day tickets will be capped, and more blackouts on multi-day and Ikon Pass visitors. Only half-day and private lessons at ski school.
At Anthony Lakes, pass holders and lodging discount visitors face no restrictions, but day tickets will be monitored to control capacities. Day tickets, which go on sale before the season, and ski school purchases online only. Snowcat service canceled for season.
Town hill Mt. Ashland plans no limits on tickets at this time. If necessary, day ticket sales will be the focus to maintain legal capacities on the hill.
Hoodoo Ski Area https://skihoodoo.com/rates/season-passes/ has set a one-day pass sale on Oct. 24 with preseason prices, and a one-time, take-home season rental. Plus, the Oregon mountain will open on Wednesdays with night skiing, as well as honor leftover tickets and gift certificates from last season.

The New York Daily News reports:
A day after allegations emerged that Bishop Lamor Whitehead bilked a Brooklyn woman out of her life’s savings, Mayor Adams defended his longtime friend on Friday, saying he’d continue to “try to mentor” the flashy preacher.
“The bishop lost his dad — Arthur Miller was his name — during a police incident,” Adams said during an unrelated press conference in the Bronx.
“I have always maintained relationships with people who have gone through traumatic experiences. My goal is to mentor people who go through crisis.”

DURANT, OK -- A former city manager of McAlester has released a statement to News 12 a day after he was arrested in Durant.
Police say they arrested Randy Green Friday for allegedly "threatening or intimidating a city employee".
In a statement Green said, "This bogus arrest is the latest in a series of retaliatory actions by certain city leaders due to my being a "community activist" by requesting public records of official's salaries, neglect to code enforcement, streets and flooding ills which is blatant in every
area of Durant."

The oil talks in Doha have resulted in no agreement. The response in markets is expectant of a collapse in oil prices, some mentioning $30 again, and a fall in all things 'risk’ on Monday morning.
First let's look at who seems to be tripping a Doha deal up. Depending upon your allegiances it is either Iran for not turning up, or the Saudis for their intransigence to go with a deal that all other parties were willing to run with. Though Iran is refusing to play until they hit pre-sanction production levels, which is understandable, the Saudis appear to be doing little to endear themselves to anyone in particular at the moment. I can almost hear the 'Mwhahaha' from them as they left the meeting. On top of Doha, at the end of last week we heard that the Saudis are threatening to sell their US assets should the US pass a law making other countries legally culpable for terrorism acts against US persons. This doesn’t imply any linkages between Saudi and 9.11 but does mean that it may be prudent to move assets that may get frozen IF any legal cases were to start. But let’s not get too excited about the possibility because in the big scheme $750bio of assets is really not that much (really) and even if they did sell USTs a resulting fall in USD would be pretty handy in these days of competitive FX devaluation and any resulting steepening of the US yield curve would be seen as a move towards stability from the levels of damaging flatness currently out there.
The terrible earthquake news in Japan is more likely to be responsible for JPY strength this morning. Japan tends to bring money home from overseas investment when it has to rebuild. But add this to AUD falls and there will no doubt be models seeing amplified AUDJPY falls as further indication of a risk off environment. I am out of my long Nikkei and short JPY positions until things settle down again.
There’s one other nagging issue that really doesn’t appear to be fully discounted in the markets yet - The Brexit vote. So far the markets in GBP and UK stocks have been relatively subdued. Despite EUR/GBP rallying 10% the markets are not in a mood of panic or scare. I am looking for this to change in the next few weeks as the tightness in the polls becomes more apparent. I do wonder why the markets haven’t started drastically covering UK risk and am asking myself if this is partially to do with how markets are traded these days. Basically, algorithms are pretty dreadful at trading political risk as it isn’t associated with numbers and momentum. Ok, you an plug in a referendum score but there is no way you can quantify how decision makers will act on the outcome. So with most algorithms looking backwards at price and time they have little way of foreseeing this, especially as they haven’t even got a history of ‘leaving the EU’ to back test against. Only when prices start to move through human action will they pick up the running and accelerate things. I don’t think it will be long and I'm planning to short the FTSE 250 and sell GBP/USD again (EURGBP not being the best place to play it as EUR is also likely to suffer on a Brexit).
And of course the Greece negotiations where the IMF is insisting on evenmore draconian budget adjustments. As said before, the PR on these talks is being kept sweet but I am waiting for the lid to blow off the sewer soon.
Now the market response. It is very early on in Asian trading hours but AUS is getting hit and anything commodity is taking a whack. This is leading to expectations of all global risk getting hit on Monday morning - proper Monday morning, not just the New Zealand stopfest hours, renowned for their surgical ability to remove profit from positions. But
- If no deal in Doha is expected to lead to dramatic global financial market falls then that would imply that the recent rises in all risk assets were on Doha hopes. I don’t think so.
- A continued oversupply of oil does not mean that demand or supply of other commodities ensues, so selling AUS$ on this function alone appears premature.
So a fall in oil could be catalyst enough to trigger a correction lower in markets that many have been looking for based upon a myriad of other reasons. Those harbouring a belief that the recent rallies have been nuts may well sell into price falls triggered by Doha looking for the background bear case to now play out. This I can understand. So the tricky balance is untangling Doha (which I don’t see as that big a deal for global risk on its own) from what may have been due to happen anyway.
Brent is down 6% on the futures in early Asia but is still above $40 so not that bad. Sharp moves downwards will be seen as shock (even if in the along run it isn’t) and so DM equities are down but in no panics so I am looking for risk markets to respond by first using the Doha narrative and then wheeling out the usual reasons to be bearish that haven’t changed over the weekend. I am waiting for the moment to buy again as I still don’t see the next leg down as anything more than corrective for US and EM, though UK and Europe are entering a greater uncertainty.
However, imagine the horror if global markets actually end up closing higher on Monday.

Professional indemnity insurance for Directors & Officers
Directors are the life blood of any business. Directors and Officers of the company are personally liable for their actions and, contrary to popular belief, the liability is unlimited. Directors and Officers can find themselves personally liable to the company, its shareholders, investors, creditors and the general public. In some cases they may even face criminal sanctions.
Directors and officers insurance is vital to protect the liability of directors when carrying out their duty as a director. A directors and officers claim can come from many sources – statute, common law, regulations (eg Health & Safety) – all of which can be covered by a directors and officers policy.
Directors and officers liability is as relevant to small business as it is to the larger corporate multi-nationals and plc’s. The same rules and regulations apply to even the smallest business. In many cases, the exposure for a director in terms of his/her own liability, is very much greater for a director of a smaller company.
Most policies can be extended to provide cover for Employment Practices Liability and Entity Defence.
Our specialist, experienced and dedicated directors and officers team has access to all qualifying insurers which enables us to offer the most appropriate advice and most cost-effective professional indemnity insurance available.
To obtain a no obligation directors and officers insurance quotation, simply download and complete one of our Directors and Officers proposal forms. Alternatively, send us a copy of the insurance proposal form completed for your existing broker.
If your insurance policy is not yet due for renewal, register your interest now and we will arrange to contact you prior to the renewal of your current policy.


President Kenyatta is a man in a hurry. He wants to tax Kenyans to build 500,000 affordable housing units before he leaves office in three years’ time. That’s a tall order, considering that the government has only managed to build 3,000 units against an annual goal of 200,000!
To achieve his target, the President would be looking for big money — Sh1.4 trillion, about 20 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP). If financed entirely by debt, that translates to Sh30,000 for each one of the 50 million Kenyans.
A World Bank report shows that more than 60 per cent of Kenya’s urban dwellers live in high density poor settlements and to get them out of that squalor, we need at least two million houses, which will rise by about 250,000 units a year.
Supply of new homes to the market has increased to 15,000 a year, but 80 per cent of those target upper income earners. There are a little under 25,000 mortgages, valued at a mere 3.15 per cent of GDP in 2015. (It is 70 per cent for the US.)
The President’s housing agenda is likely to fail for the usual reasons: Weak political leadership, corruption, ‘tenderpreneur’-driven cost overruns, poor planning, lack of funds and general implementation weaknesses.
Again, the “affordable” housing agenda isn’t affordable to many, with each unit costing Sh2.8 million on average. Universally, mortgages for affordable housing should be the same as monthly rent payment, around 30 per cent of a family’s gross income. For Sh25,000 a month earners, affordable housing would cost Sh7,500 or less in rent or mortgage.
Using mortgage parameters applied by the World Bank for affordable housing in Kenya, only households with a monthly income of Sh100,000-110,000 would afford such a house. Besides the monthly mortgage payment of Sh30,000, one would cough up Sh400,000 in down payment and closing fees.
For our level of income, an affordable housing scheme would need to have units that start at Sh1.2 million.
Persuasion, not coercion
This is only feasible for the government if it systematically addresses supply-side and demand-side constraints to home ownership.
The government would also need to promote its agenda through persuasion, not coercion. It must hold meaningful consultations with key stakeholders and address the concerns raised by all, including intended beneficiaries.
Given many cases of failed and underperforming state projects, widespread corruption in public tendering and procurement and capacity limitations at the national and county levels, the development community should support the country to rethink, re-engineer and retrofit its institutions through new policy instruments, processes and mechanisms necessary for a Sh1.4 trillion programme.
A well-executed large-scale housing programme of this magnitude can be a game changer. It can fuel a construction boom, lift the economy and create thousands of quality jobs over a long period of time. Not only would it be a boon to architects, quantity surveyors, urban planners and civil engineers, but it could also underpin the centrality of technical vocational education and training (TVET) institutions in nation-building.
Don’t focus exclusively on affordable housing, but also on sustained double-digit growth to lift the citizenry out of abject poverty. The housing agenda can create the relevant interventions to the widening inequality, social exclusion, income-based segregation and the emerging dual society.
Since the government is likely to pursue public-private partnerships, it will need to update its oversight and regulatory capacity. The State would have to pursue social benefits just as vigorously as the private enterprise chases profits.
The Jubilee regime should be addressing policy gaps, institutional weaknesses and funding mechanisms and explore ways of engaging the diaspora as well as aligning national and county priorities. They could look at how China, Rwanda, Ethiopia and other developing countries are tackling housing challenges.


RONSON's A WILD BOY ; Mark Joins Duran Duran for Scots Gig
July 03, 2009
By BEV LYONS; Rick Fulton
BRIT winner Mark Ronson will join Duran Duran on stage at their massive Edinburgh Castle gig later this month.
The Eighties legends, whose hits include Wild Boys and Ordinary World, are playing the stunning venue on Thursday, July 16.
And the collaboration is a strong indicator the band will be playing some tracks from their new album, which Mark is currently producing.
The Edinburgh concert is one of only two UK dates the band are playing this year. The other is the Lovebox festival in London.
An insider said: "Scots fans are really going to be in for a treat.
"I think there's a strong possibility there will be new stuff from the album."
It's not the first time Ronson, who produced Amy Winehouse's Back to Black album, has worked with Duran Duran.
Last year they were brought together for a special gig in Paris. There, as well as playing on tracks like Planet Earth and The Chauffeur, they also did a Bond medley which bled into Duran Duran's View To A Kill 007 theme tune.
Mark, who won the best male Brit award last year and has also worked with Lily Allen, Christina Aguilera, Robbie Williams and the Kaiser Chiefs, admits Duran Duran were his favourite band as a kid.
He said: "I had posters, stickers and tried to copy their haircuts. I went with my mum to the hairdressers when I was 11 with a picture of JohnTaylor.
"I thought they were going to give me this feather cut with blonde highlights. But the haircut they gave me was closer to what they'd have given a 10-year-old.
"I walked out the hairdressers in tears saying 'it's way more Nick Rhodes than John Taylor'."

Best dressed at Venice Film Festival 2016 — Day 1: Textural escapade
Ever since its inaugural beginning in 1932, the Venice Film Festival has been lauded for its Italian finesse, amorous scenes and of course, the best dressed. And this year is no exception. The 73rd Venice Film Festival kicked off with the gala premiere of La La Land — as well as a myriad of stars putting their best sartorial foot forward.
The first day of the festival saw diverse textures, and going for platinum is La La Land star Emma Stone in a custom-made Atelier Versace gown. She dazzled and put a futuristic twist on the Roaring 20s' jazzy flapper dress with silver fringing, while Italian street fashion darling Eleonora Carisi took a plunge into the deep V in a cascading mid-length lace frock. On a subtler note, actress and this year's juror Gemma Arterton tantalises with a game of intricate peek-a-boo. Daring with beads or delicate in frills, scroll down for the best looks from day one.

With two pairings that pitted 12-1 duelists against 11-2 duelists, we were forced to drop to the 10-3 ranks for our feature matches this round. Neither of these duelists knew if the had a snowball’s chance in heck of making the Top 8, but they were sure going to try.
Hector won the roll and opened with a single set card. Corn fired back with Elemental Hero Stratos, grabbing Disk Commander from his deck. He discarded it for Destiny Draw, drew two, then activated Reinforcement of the Army to get Armageddon Knight from his deck. He activated Allure of Darkness, drew into Dark Armed Dragon, and removed the Knight, his only other Dark. He then activated Premature Burial to draw two cards with Disk Commander.
Both monsters attacked directly, and in main phase 2 Corn removed Monster Reborn from his deck with Gold Sarcophagus! A set spell or trap ended his turn, and that left Heras to simply set another spell or trap.
Corn activated another Reinforcement of the Army, searching out Armageddon Knight and then activating Allure of Darkness—he drew into Dark Magician of Chaos and removed it. He tributed Disk Commander for Jinzo, attacked, and scored two more direct shots—Heras was down to just 1700 life points!
“Go ahead,” said Corn, setting one more spell or trap. Moments later Heras was scooping up.
Corn gave a bit of a guilty laugh. “I’ll be honest, I don’t know if it even mattered what you’d played. My hand was pretty broken.” Heras agreed and began shuffling like a madman.
He opened yet again with nothing but a set spell or trap card, shaking his head slightly. Corn set two to his back row, and flipped Dustshoot next turn. It revealed Heras’s hand of Brain Control, Mirror Force, D.D. Crow, Dark Armed Dragon, Darklord Zerato, and another card I couldn’t verify before it was swept off the table. Corn summoned Strike Ninja and then lost it to Torrential Tribute, and Heras set another spell or trap. Corn summoned Armageddon Knight, attacked for 1400 damage, and moved at a lightning-fast pace.
Heras took the Knight with Brain Control next turn, tributed it for Dasher and walked right into Torrential Tribute. That put Corn at three Dark monsters, so Heras removed his Dasher with D.D. Crow and ended. Corn drew and set a spell or trap, and Heras passed. Corn passed back, Heras summoned Snipe Hunter and pressed it into Mirror Force. Corn activated Gold Sarcophagus next turn.
He removed Sangan with the Sarcophagus’s effect, then set a monster. Heras topped Jinzo, special summoned it with Dasher, and attacked for 2400 damage. “Go.”
Corn was up. He summoned Snipe Hunter and then discarded Jinzo with priority, and Heras chained D.D. Crow to remove Corn’s Strike Ninja. Snipe blew away Heras’s Jinzo: Corn was now holding two Dark Armed Dragon cards. The duel stood at 5800 to 5600.
Snipe Hunter attacked, and this time it was Heras’s turn to flip Mirror Force. Corn ended, and Heras activated Allure of Darkness to remove Darklord Zerato from the game. After some lengthy consideration, he summoned Armageddon Knight, sending Dark Magician of Chaos to his graveyard. He brought it back with Premature Burial, then used its effect to return Allure of Darkness to his hand. He set everything but Allure, activated it, and drew into Jinzo to remove it from the game. He activated Destiny Draw, discarded Disk Commander, and drew into Dimension Fusion! He activated it, the fields were filled, and Corn quickly realized it was game over.
Hector Heras takes the second duel with a string of draw effects and Dimension Fusion! The match would move to a third duel.
Corn began with Allure of Darkness, removing Dark Magician of Chaos. He discarded Fear Monger for Destiny Draw, summoned Stratos, searched out Dasher, and then activated Allure of Darkness to remove it from play. He set Torrential Tribute and ended.
Heras set two cards to his back row, set a monster, and ended. “Go.” Corn set another back-row card himself, then summoned Armageddon Knight—he used its effect to send Darklord Zerato to the graveyard. Armageddon Knight ran over Heras’s face-down Disk Commander and Stratos hit for 1800 damage. Heras set a monster and a third spell or trap next turn.
Corn had Torrential Tribute and Heavy Storm set—he flipped the Heavy, costing Heras Mirror Force, Return from the Different Dimension, and Escape from the Dark Dimension. Corn summoned Armageddon Knight, sent Jinzo to his graveyard, set Mystical Space Typhoon, and attacked with everything, destroying his opponent’s Fear Monger in the process.
Disk Commander came back to the field courtesy of Fear Monger, and Heras followed it up with Allure of Darkness. Mirror Force robbed Corn of his Mystical Space Typhoon and he activated Monster Reborn to take Corn’s Darklord Zerato and special summon it. Heras discarded Jinzo to destroy Corn’s monsters with Zerato, attacked with it, then set a spell or trap and ended. Zerato was destroyed.
Dustshoot flipped in Corn’s draw phase, revealing Morphing Jar and Prometheus: Prometheus got sent back. Corn set two cards to his back row and Heras was back up. He set a spell or trap and ended, and Corn drew Strike Ninja! He dodged it immediately, removing Zerato and Jinzo to do so, and followed it up by flipping Return from the Different Dimension! Heras immediately offered the handshake.
Adam Corn moves on 11-3, with hope of making the Top 8!

Today’s edition of DisClaimer is a spotty collection, with clunkers as well as winners.
Leading a parade of females this week is Maren Morris, who takes home the Disc of the Day award with a topical tune. Raising their voices by her side are Jenny Tolman, Cam and Lindsay Ell, all of whom have also turned in splendid sides.
There’s a new duo in town called Everette. Named after George Clooney’s character in O Brother Where Art Thou, these two Kentucky natives show all kinds of promise on “Kings of the Dairy Queen Parking Lot.” Needless to say, this wins them the DisCovery Award.
EVERETTE/“Kings of the Dairy Queen Parking Lot”
Writers: none listed; Publisher: none listed; Producer: Luke Laird; Broken Bow
-I dig this. It’s a very cool small-town banger with plenty of rhythmic punch and a charming, drawling delivery. Rockin’ and twangin’ Everette is a duo consisting of Kentucky natives Brent Rupard and Anthony Olympia. Play them.
Writers: Cam/Jack Antonoff; Publisher: none listed; Producers: Cam & Jack Antonoff; RCA
-This lady never disappoints, and I remain a huge fan. This deliriously hooky bopper jangles merrily along with hand claps, choppy beats, stacked vocal harmonies and poppy electronic touches. Producer Antonoff is noted for his work with Taylor Swift, The Chicks, Lana Del Ray and St. Vincent.
TYLER FARR/“Soundtrack to a Small Town Sundown”
Writers: Jon Nite/Jonathan Singleton; Publishers: EMI April/Super Big/Jett/Nite Writer, no performance rights listed; Producer: Jason Aldean; Broken Bow
-This well-written lyric evokes wistful nostalgia. Farr’s delivery has urgency and believability. I just wish it had a groovier melody.
MAREN MORRIS/“Better Than We Found It”
Writers: Maren Morris/Jessie Jo Dillon/Jimmy Robbins/Laura Veltz; Publishers: none listed; Producer: Greg Kurstin; Columbia
-“America, America, divided we fall….America, America, we’re better than this.” Sister Maren pleads for a better world, with freedom and justice for all. The video addresses anti-immigration, Black Lives Matter and the COVID pandemic and ends with her reading a letter of promise to her infant son, Hayes. It ends with the one-word exhortation: Vote.
THE QUARANTINE ALL STARS/“Quarantine”
Writer: Scotty Wilbanks; Publisher: none listed; Producer: Scotty Wilbanks; 9 North
-Brad Paisley, Steve Wariner, Chuck Leavell and Journey’s Jonathan Cain head the list of the roughly two dozen musicians who partake in this snappy, country-rock instrumental jam. Among the others are members of the bands that back Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett and Dave Matthews. Proceeds benefit the MusiCares COVID 19 Relief Fund. It’s a guaranteed, toe-tapping pleasure.
JERROD NIEMANN/“The Blame”
Writer: Jerrod Niemann; Publisher: none listed; Producer: Jerrod Niemann; JN
-While the dazzling “Tequila Kisses” continues to ride the radio airwaves, Niemann is issuing this track that shows his more vulnerable, heartache side. Lilting and deliciously melodic, it was written in the wake of his divorce. This guy is a such a gem.
TEXAS HILL/“Darkest Sky”
Writers: Ryan Beaver/James Leblanc/Mike Walker; Publisher: none listed; Producer: none listed; TH
-This trio is Craig Wayne Boyd, Casey James and Adam Wakefield. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t recommend launching your career with a ballad, but these three sing so magnificently, and the lyric is so inspirational and hopeful that I have to cheer. Well done, boys.
LINDSAY ELL/“Workin’ Out”
Writers: none listed; Publisher: none listed; Producer: none listed; BBR
-This is evidently from the soundtrack of the “Make It Up As We Go” podcast. It’s acoustic and stripped down, which showcases her conversational delivery of the jaunty, upbeat lyrics. Bopping and effective.
SOPHIE SANDERS/“Nobody Special”
Writer: Sophie Sanders; Publisher: none listed; Producer: Paul Sikes; SS
-Written for her fiancée, this echoey, wafting ditty swirls in a romantic dream.
BRANDON COLLINS/“Blame It On Nashville”
Writer: Brandon Collins; Publisher: none listed; Producer: Steve Freeman; BC
-Boyish, plaintive and a little tentative, he sings of his busted heart in this soft ballad. He’s not the strongest singer on earth, but there’s some songwriting promise here.
JENNY TOLMAN/“Invent a T-Shirt”
Writers: Jenny Tolman/Dave Brainard/Bill Whyte; Publisher: none listed; Producer: Dave Brainard; JT
-The always witty Ms. Tolman tickles yer funny bone with this talking-blues ditty about social media, virtual bickering and wild opinion spewing. Accompanied by scampering fiddle and lickety-split guitar work, she offers a saucy, catchy chorus that ends with “kiss my derriere.” She is practically single handedly bringing humor back into country music and deserves our heartiest applause for doing so. The “selfie” video with her band will make you smile as brightly as the lyric does.

We had a ball and so did all the attendees that were lucky enough to have an event experience to remember! Each attendee got a chance to get a mentoring session to look at their LinkedIn marketing strategy or conduct a digital audit. Above that they also received a professionally shot LinkedIn / Business profile headshot. And all for just stopping by and saying “hi”! Look what we got up to:
Transforming the Social Sector with Technology
The 2019 Connecting Up conference themed ‘Transform’ is officially done and dusted for yet another year. This awesome event brings not for profit organisations from all around Australia together with some of the most innovative brands, businesses and minds in tech. The ultimate goal is to help NFPs and purpose-driven organisations leverage technology to help them gain a wider reach, use their resources more effectively and have a greater impact on their communities.
PN Digital first become involved with Connecting Up conference last year when we attended on behalf of one of our clients humanIT (who were also a part of this year’s event). The energy and engagement at the Connecting Up conference was like nothing we’d seen before so we knew we had to be a part of the 2019 event. And because PN Digital doesn’t do things by halves, we jumped into Connecting Up head-first!
In addition to being an exhibitor at the conference we also came on board as the official video partner for the event, which has involved producing, editing and publishing video content for a number of different purposes. Our photographer Arek was also charged with taking photos of all of the speakers and presentations throughout the two day event.
The PN Digital Experience:
Anyone who follows PN Digital on Facebook or Instagram would have gotten a sneak peak of our brand new event signage which we debuted at the conference. Our awesome graphic designer Taso is responsible for the new eye-popping display of colour and we have incorporated technology with the use of a QR code which leads users to a landing page on our website. This way, we were able to go paperless by doing away with the need for brochures and hand-outs.
But the lack of brochure didn’t mean that guests walked away from the PN Digital stand empty handed! We had a free LinkedIn headshot service with our talented photographer Arek who ended up taking photos for over 120 different participants. The photography booth was a huge hit with the attendees and drew them to us where we were able to have a chat to them about who we are and what do.
Digital Marketing Mentoring:
While all of the excitement was going down at the stand, head marketing strategist Rodney Ferro was busy conducting one-on-one digital marketing mentoring sessions with some of the attendees. Tucked up in a quiet back corner, Rodney’s digital marketing D&Ms involved a mini audit of participant’s websites, social media and online presence. Each of the participants walked away with a nifty PN branded power bank for their devices and will also be emailed a more in-depth report in the coming week that details the overall health of their digital marketing assets.
Celebrating Technology in the Social Sector:
One of the biggest highlights of the conference was the Australian Not-for-profit Technology Awards evening which was held on the Thursday evening. The awards evening celebrates brands, organisations and businesses who have been leveraging technology in innovative ways to create a bigger social impact.
As part of our role as the official video partner, the PN Digital team were responsible for creating the video presentations on the evening so it was a great experience to watch our work on the big screen while enjoying a glass of bubbly.
Being the video partner also meant that we got to talk to all of the finalists in the lead up to the awards night, learning more about their fantastic causes and the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. So it was great to be able to a part of their celebration and to see them get recognition for their work!
And That’s a Wrap!
The #transform2019au conference was a great experience for PN Digital. We got to showcase our full range of skills – digital marketing strategy, content creation, social media, design, branding, event marketing and more – in one single event, all while meeting some inspiring people who are doing amazing things in their own fields. From exhibitors who have created innovative technology solutions through to the attendees who have dedicated themselves to social issues that they are deeply passionate about, the 2019 Connecting Up Transform conference was an amazing and unmissable experience!
We would like to thank our team for all of the hard work they put in to pull this off – Nicole, Kara, Bek, Rodney and Arek who were on the ground during the event, as well as everyone else who helped us behind the scenes, getting everything ready in time. We’d also like to thank Grant Smyth, Sandra Vallance and the rest of the team at Connecting Up for putting on such an amazing event – it was a big undertaking but you pulled it off spectacularly.
Finally, to all of the exhibitors and attendees – thank you and we’ll see you again next year!

Matching family tree profiles for Benjamin Reno
About Benjamin Reno
The list of names of Zeley Reno's children is incomplete, being based entirely on baptismal records between 1811 and 1818 and his will, which does not mention all of his children. Older children, such as sons James and Benjamin born before 1810, might have moved away before the family joined these churches.
William L. Reno, Jr. (1975, "The Reno Family", addendum 2) argues based on pre-1850 census records, the ages of individuals involved, and geographical opportunity that Zeley Reno probably had two or three additional sons born between 1775 and 1790: James, John, and Benjamin, who appear later in records of Kentucky and Indiana.

Functions of Essential Automobile Parts
The basic idea of a car is pretty simple -- turn wheels to pull you down the road. But, as illustrated by the hundreds of Automobile Chassis Parts for sale at your local Pep Boys, Autozone or Napa Auto Parts, it actually takes a lot of machinery to make cars work.
If you're trying to figure out what all the parts in your car do, HowStuffWorks AutoStuff is the place for you. Here's a collection of our key car part articles.
Essential Automobile Parts
Although there are many complex parts included in automobiles, some of the parts are quite common and essential for every vehicle.
Engine: One of the most important components of a vehicle includes the engine. The performance of a vehicle depends on its engine. Different types of fuels are used by the engines such as gasoline, diesel, ethanol and so forth. Today a wide variety of cars can be operated by batteries and these vehicles are known as electrical vehicles.
Chassis: Automotive chassis is the frame of the vehicle which supports the various parts such as engine, brakes, steering, axle, tires and so forth. It is one of the most important structures of a vehicle. Automotive chassis are usually made of light steel material or plastic. The chassis keeps the vehicle stiff and tensile. It ensures low vibration and noise in the entire vehicle. There are various types of chassis used in vehicles which include the backbone chassis, ladder chassis and the monocoque chassis. These days most of the vehicles use steel plated chassis as it ensures strength and durability.
Drive axle: Another automobile part includes the drive axle that propels the vehicle.
Brakes: The most important component of a vehicle is the brakes which help to halt the vehicle. When the brakes are applied, a hydraulic fluid is transmitted through the steel pipes to the wheels of the vehicles.
Gear box: Automobile parts also include gear box which is also known as transmission. The gear box parts vary from one vehicle to another. As the speed of the vehicle varies, the gears can be switched from one ratio to another. The power of engine is transferred to the wheels of the vehicle with the help of the gears. There are mainly two types of gears- the manual and automatic gears. Nowadays, most of the vehicles have automatic gears or transmissions.
Steering: It helps the driver to choose the traveling direction. Suspension acts as a shock absorber and ensures smooth and comfortable ride.
Oil filters: The oil filters are mainly used to segregate the engine oil from unwanted debris and dust particles. Dust particles can prevent the engine from functioning smoothly. Most of the oil filters are classified as high efficiency filters as it segregates abrasive materials from the engine oil.
All types of automobile parts can be bought from online stores at reasonable price rates these days. There are a wide number of online dealers that supply guaranteed products at affordable price rates.

The Supreme Court of New Mexico has ruled that, by refusing to photograph a gay wedding, a photography studio violated the law.
Long story short, private business owners, Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin don’t agree with gay marriage and chose not to provide photography services to a lesbian couple.
According to the New Mexico Supreme Court,the case
“teaches that at some point in our lives all of us must compromise, if only a little, to accommodate the contrasting values of others. A multicultural, pluralistic society, one of our nation’s strengths, demands no less.”
Compromise. Funny, this doesn’t seem like a compromise but rather forcing a someone to do something they are diametrically opposed to.
The court goes on to say:
The owners of Elane Photography, Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin, “are free to think, to say, to believe, as they wish, yet in the world of the marketplace, of commerce, of public accommodation, the Huguenins have to channel their conduct, not their beliefs, so as to leave space for other Americans who believe something different.”
Doing so, Bosson said, is “the price of citizenship.”
Ok. So the price of citizenship is being forced to run your private business in a manner you disagree with on a religious level. Plus, the court has the hubris to actually geld the 1st Amendment by stating “you are free to say what you believe but it doesn’t matter as you have to still do as we say.”
And to liken this to Blacks being refused service in the south is a false analogy. It would be more akin to the Ku Klux Klan hiring an all black photography studio to film a cross burning and having the courts force the studio to do it.
(and before you start with the “why would the Klan hire blacks?” talk, i don’t know what goes on in the minds of racists, maybe they’d like forcing blacks to serve them, whatever. I mean, why didn’t the lesbian couple just find another photography studio instead of suing Elane?)
But speaking of refusing service to blacks in the south, there are civil rights abuses going on in New Mexico that line up more closely to it.
Every day over 22,000 New Mexicans have their civil rights violated by being refused service at businesses around the state by statute*. They simply exercise their right to keep and bear arms yet are discriminated against by these businesses. Peaceful refusal to accept this bigoted stance results in the civil rights activist facing a 4th Degree felony which carries an 18-month prison sentence and a $5000 fine.
I believe in the rights of a private business to refuse service if they so choose. I believe they have a right to allow smoking in their establishment, to serve trans-fats and salt and wash it down with oversized beverages and in general dictate how their business is to be run.
If the New Mexico Supreme Court is ruling that, as a business owner, “the price of citizenship” is to “compromise your beliefs” and “leave space for other Americans who believe something different” then the statute allowing the banning of firearms in private businesses must be struck down.
And the 2nd Amendment is not a choice. I was born this way, with the right to defend myself by use of martial arms and as such it is my civil right as an American to have that protected from bigoted anti-gun business owners.
Regrettably, I can’t help but feel that the New Mexico Supreme Court picks and chooses who they believe deserve to have their civil rights protected. But who knows, maybe this is the verdict that brings down the state backed bigotry toward gun owners in New Mexico.

I wonder if the AFL realises they aren’t the first sporting code to take their game overseas.
I don’t really follow the game but I do a read a lot of strategic and international politics coverage.
And the witless hysteria around this stupid game – Port Adelaide will play the Gold Coast Suns in China on Sunday – is starting to swamp the witless hysteria of the Trump administration.
It’s hard to concentrate on the developing nuclear showdown between North Korea and the US when so much airtime has been given to the jumper the Suns will wear this weekend in Shanghai.
Having cut through the Gordian knot of that impossibly entangled and super important international issue, there was no getting back to China’s construction of artificial islands and creeping militarisation of the South China Sea, because we all had to freak the hell out about the much more dangerous and worrying possibility that Travis Boak and Jasper Pittard might get a dodgy spring roll from a roadside vendor.
Darren Burgess, the head of high performance at Port Adelaide, sent scribes, fans and the mentally infirm into a panic spiral on Tuesday when he warned that the local food in Shanghai can be “pretty dangerous”.
News flash, Darren, a kebab scoffed down in Rundle Mall can be pretty dangerous too, especially after dark – and not because of Triad activity.
You would think, given the asteroid-impact-level conniptions of the footy press over the lead-up to the Shanghai match, that no Australian sporting team had ever left the safety of home shores before and if they did, they were immediately eaten by cannibals, who then made another killing betting on the match with Chinese gambling syndicates.
“It can get pretty dangerous but we think we’ve got it all covered,” Burgess worried aloud about the absolute certainty of food poisoning if anybody should stray from the hotel buffet.
“We just don’t let the guys eat outside of the hotel.”
Players have further been warned against “the threat of Asian crime syndicates” which might try to make a score on the match, the air quality in Shanghai and a forecast of 30-degree heat on match day.
Players have also been briefed on the danger of stiff legs and heavy things falling out of the overhead lockers on the long-haul flights and we can only hope the league’s comprehensive preparation included consulting expert geologists and hydraulic engineers about the chances of the Three Gorges Dam collapsing this weekend, killing millions and flooding the venue.
The dam is a four-hour flight away, but you can never be too careful with dams or dodgy prawns.
It’s a legitimate question, what the hell the AFL is even doing playing in Shanghai when its roots remain so shallow outside of the traditional home states of the game.
But the silliness of the venture has been far exceeded by the whack-a-doodle response of the coaches, fans and sports media.
On any given day, if you visit an international airport in Australia, you will see teams heading off all over the world.
Teams from high-profile sports like cricket and rugby routinely tour outside their comfort zones, but thousands of other players from more obscure pursuits do so as well. Every day. And they don’t carry on like royal pork chops about it.
That list includes 12-year-old netballers, late-life dragon boat races, wheelchair basketball players … they all throw themselves into the adventure and enjoy it for what it is. A privilege.
If the AFL decides to go down this path in the future – and presumably the match in Shanghai isn’t just some perverse random scheduling error – perhaps they could hire in a consultant from a suburban netball club to help their precious snowflakes cope with the trauma.

HAYWARD — Authorities are requesting the public’s help in finding a 22-year-old Hayward man who is wanted on two outstanding warrants, including one for attempted murder that was recently filed by the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office, police said Friday.
Capt. Darryl McAllister said investigators have been searching for Russ Coria, who allegedly fired five shots at his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend following an Oct. 1 confrontation at her home on the 27700 block of Seminole Way.
Coria, who also is wanted for parole violation, has not been seen since he disappeared with his 3-year-old daughter, Tatiana Coria, whom he failed to return after a custody visit Oct. 3.
McAllister said authorities are concerned because Coria called a friend last week and talked of committing suicide.
Coria went to the woman’s home Oct. 1 and while there, her boyfriend showed up, authorities said. Coria and the woman’s boyfriend, a Santa Rosa resident, “exchanged looks” before both of them left, investigators said.
A short time later near the woman’s home, the two men got into an argument, during which Coria allegedly fired five shots at the boyfriend be-fore leaving in the man’s car. The car was found abandoned several blocks away, and police found the Santa Rosa man shaken but uninjured.
Investigators said Coria does not own a car and usually depends on BART or the bus for transportation, though detectives suspect he may have somehow acquired a vehicle.
Authorities said Coria and the young girl’s mother share custody of the child, and they have no reason to believe he would harm his daughter; however, investigators are concerned about his ability to take care of the child.
The child’s mother is extremely worried because she has not seen her daughter in three weeks, authorities said.
Coria is described as Latino, 5 feet 10 inches tall and 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Tatiana is described as African American and Latino, approximately 3 feet tall and about 35 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone who knows anything about the whereabouts of Coria and his daughter is urged to call the Hayward Police Department at 293-7000.

Centre will buy cotton if the prices drop below MSP says, Officials
On November 12, the mandi prices of Bt cotton in Sri Karanpur hit their highest point of the year at ₹9,450/quintal. On December 20, they dropped to their lowest point of the year at ₹7,800/quintal, and on December 21, they settled at ₹8,450/quintal.
The government is keeping an eye on the prices of cotton on the open market in each state, which is currently higher than the minimum support prices (MSP) that the government set for this season. Officials have said that we’ll start buying things ‘immediately’ if prices fall below the MSP.

‘Right now, prices in each state are higher than the cotton MSP. If prices go down, MSP will start to work. At this point, it doesn’t matter. But if the situation calls for it, we are ready to start buying things at MSP. ‘It would happen right away,’ a person in charge of looking into the situation told.
The MSP for medium staple cotton for the 2022-23 cotton year (October to September) is set at ₹6,080 per quintal. All of the major cotton-producing states have average cotton mandi prices that are much higher than that. But there are big changes, and government data shows that prices dropped in most states from December 1 to 21 compared to November.
For example, mandi prices of Bt cotton in Sri Karanpur rose to ₹9,450/quintal on November 12, which was the highest price of the year. On December 20, they dropped to ₹7,800, but on December 21, they went back up to ₹8,450.
‘This year, I’ve already sold half of my cotton, and I got an average of ₹8,500 per quintal. This year, the price of mandi has changed a lot, sometimes by as much as ₹1,000/quintal in a single day. I hope to sell my remaining stock at ₹9,000/quintal because the prices change so much. I hope it gets to that point. ‘This change is strange and has never happened before,’ said Sukhvinder Pal Singh of Sri Karanpur in the Ganganagar district of Rajasthan, who grew and sold about 600 quintals of cotton this year.
According to data from the Agrimarket portal, the average price of cotton at the mandi in Madhya Pradesh was ₹8,376 per quintal in November but dropped to ₹7,869 per quintal from December 1–21. In December, prices were lower than they were in November in Telangana, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Rajasthan. In Punjab, however, prices were almost the same as in November.

Some groups of cotton farmers have been arguing to the government that the MSP for cotton should go up because the cost of production has gone up. The government has not yet replied to the request, though.
This week, the Cotton Association of India updated its estimates of how much cotton will be grown during the 2022–2023 season. The estimates say that 339,75,000 bales of cotton will be grown during that season. The most recent estimate is about 4.25 lakh bales less than the first estimate. We think that 307.05 lakh bales of cotton were grown during the last growing season.
