Very cool, easy to use site for when you have a few minutes. I think the age range could be k-12 as my 4 year old loved seeing where the door would take us. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is really hard to get back to a place that you previously visited. Diane, PA, Grades: 0 - 4

Welcome back! If you've been reading our brand new Big Data Blog, you may have seen us finish a 4 Terabyte query in 30 seconds, you may have read about all the technologies that make up the BigQuery service, and you probably used our discussion on how big data technologies scale as a powerful sleeping aid.
In this blog post, we'll talk about the economics of big data — how resources are deployed, utilized and paid for. What happens when resource utilization is low? What happens when analytics demands exceed availability of resources? How can cloud-native technologies claim to be both inexpensive and fast at the same time? What about for large-scale deployments?
To help our argument, let's define an umbrella term — resources. Resources can mean CPU, RAM, networking, coordination software and anything else that goes into giving databases the power to execute analytics in SQL. Let's also assume for a moment that all analytics technologies consume roughly equal amounts of resources for specific workloads, and that workloads are perfectly parallelizable. Let's also call them all databases, fully aware that the term is stretched for various Hadoop and Spark use cases, among others.
Fantastic! An empty chart is rarely entertaining, so let's deploy a big data cluster. We could pick an open source technology like Hadoop, Spark or Presto; alternatively, we can deploy a proprietary database like Redshift or Vertica. We can even truck in a refrigerator-sized big data appliance!
We now have an analytics cluster, hopefully very large, distributed, redundant and highly available. The actual amount of resources is not too relevant to our discussion, so let's just assume that the cluster is very large.
Note that we haven't run a single query, and we're already paying the full amount!
Given this sample analytics workload, what happens in the first few hours? There isn't much load on the system, so the deployment performs well. However, the cluster is vastly underutilized.
Why must we pay for these resources when they aren't used? Traditional technologies charge you for the amount of resources that you provision, rather than the resources actually utilized. All resources must be paid for, whether they're used or not.
If your resource demands frequently exceed cluster size, you might need to upgrade. In a previous blog post, we discussed in great detail the effectiveness of scaling analytic technologies. The short story is, resizing analytic clusters is done rather infrequently, if ever. There are some exceptions; for example, Google Dataproc lets you resize your resources in less than 90 seconds and charges you per-minute, rather than per-hour.
You may notice that scaling the cluster up only exacerbates the cost inefficiency — when the analytics workload is low and the big data cluster is underutilized, we end up paying more for the luxury of having a larger cluster!
In this exercise, we've assumed that our analytics technology has perfect separation of storage and compute. If we're dealing with a technology where storage and compute are co-tenant, like Redshift, HDFS, and Vertica, we might have to scale our cluster simply to gain more storage space, meaning we would need to pay for even more unused compute capacity.
To quickly recap — if you get too far below the blue line, you waste money by not using the resources that you're paying for; by contrast, if you try to go above the blue line, you saturate the available resources, your performance is throttled and all your jobs slow down.
BigQuery utilization matches analytics demands one to one. By definition, BigQuery carries 100% utilization, which means that no resources go idle, and you don't pay a premium for resources that you do not utilize.
Perhaps more importantly, you don't need to go through the confusing exercise of measuring your workloads, sizing your database and being asked to resize it to a different magnitude. In fact, the fully-managed, Serverless nature of BigQuery gives you the ability to not worry about resources at all. You get the benefit of a highly cost efficient database that's always fast.
Folks don't always believe me when I tell them that BigQuery is both faster and more inexpensive than other analytic databases. I hope that you will give it a try and see for yourself!

"I just want to clear up one little thing," said Berman, tapping the fax. "The sheriff back in Missouri requested protective custody for the Finns."
"And that would be us," said Riker, not bothering to even glance at the fax. "Me and Mallory, we're the protection now. And let's clear up another little thing. You should pray that Joe Finn doesn't t alk to a lawyer. Provoked assault, abuse of power-oh, and that time you snatched his kid."
"In your dreams, Riker."
The detective glanced at the far table where his partner was discussing murder with a child. "Little Peter makes great witness material, doesn't he? I'm betting that kid can cry at the drop of a dime, and that might come in handy. Now a charge of kidnapping Dodie-that won't s t ick in court, but it might get some airtime on the evening news-prime time. And that would be a damn shame. Up to now, you've been real good at squashing media interest. So play nice with the boxer. Your balls belong to him now."
Riker crossed the room to deposit a laptop computer on Mallory's t able. And now the detective's tall friend, Charles Butler, was left alone to make conversation, faltering for words and finally saying, "So you're in charge here."
Agent Berman smiled in faint appreciation for Butler's d ry punch line. His smile became more affable when the detective returned to the table. "Riker, I got Kronewald's presents from Mallory. If you're curious about the tool mark on the air valve and the fingerprint-"
"Not good enough for matches," said Riker. "I know."
"So you and your partner plan to give us a hand on this one?"
"Cooperation? Not your style," said Riker. "You'd rather cut cops at the knees."
"Hey," said Berman, "that business with Kronewald in Chicago-that wasn't my call," he lied. "I wasn't e ven there." That part was true. He gave Riker his very best good ol' boy smile and lightly slapped the table with the flat of his hand. "So, we do a little deal? Share and share alike?" "Just like old times?" asked Riker. "With Lou Markowitz?" "What? You're still pissed off about that ? Mallory, too? Okay, I held out on Markowitz. But that was years ago, and it's not like somebody died."
Riker's response was instant and strong, every muscle tensing. The detective wanted to hit him; that much was very clear. Instead, Riker rose and left the table, and this time he did not plan to return, but slouched into a distant chair with an air of permanent repose.
Agent Berman turned to Charles Butler. "You know what that's about?" "The old business with Louis Markowitz? Sorry, I don't have any facts to work with. However, given Riker's reaction, I'd s ay it's obvious that someone did die."
Dale Berman's luck with Mallory was no better. He waited until the little boy left her table, then pulled up the chair next to hers. "We could help each other on this one."
To o clearly, he understood the look in her eyes that said, Yeah, right.
"I have legal authorization to take Dodie Finn into custody." And now, lest she misunderstand and send a knee toward his privates, he held up one hand in surrender. "That's not a threat. I won't, o kay? See, I'm just trying to-"
"This is the new and improved FBI?" She continued to stare at her laptop screen. "So now you can disappear a little girl? How did you do it the last time? Did you fob her off as a terrorist? Oh, wait, I forgot. The feds don't have to give reasons anymore."
Berman had a comeback for that, but he was interrupted when a large woman settled into the chair beside Mallory's and introduced herself as Margaret Hardy, widow of Jerold Hardy, and mother to young Melissa Hardy, who had gone missing when she was six years old.
"I think about her every day." Mrs. Hardy opened her purse and pulled out a fistful of snapshots that pictured a little girl in different costumes and poses. Apparently six-year-old Melissa was a born performer, mugging for the camera in her ballet dress and her Halloween costume. "And this shot was taken at her school play. That's her in the carrot suit. She likes carrots and peas-just the colors, not the taste-and she plays the piano. I thought you should know that… something… personal." Mrs. Hardy wore a constant smile, but she seemed always on the verge of tears.
Mallory was on best behavior with this civilian. She looked at each photograph and asked polite questions about the place where Melissa had lived. "Any close neighbors? Did your daughter take a bus to school?"
Even before these questions were answered, Dale Berman knew that the lost Melissa Hardy fit the victim profile-and now Mallory knew it, too.
As the FBI man's gut knotted up, he had to wonder what else this New York cop had worked out on her own. When Mrs. Hardy had left the table, and Mallory was once more absorbed in her computer, Berman edged his chair closer to hers, saying, "Back to the subject of Dodie Finn. I didn't want to-" He forgot what he had intended to say, for she finally looked up to acknowledge him, and he wished that she had not.
What cold eyes you have.
The young detective leaned toward him-too close. She was robbing him of personal space, and each of her words had equal weight, as if a metronome could speak. "If you touch that little girl one more time, I will mess you up so bad."
She turned back to her computer screen. He was now dead to her, and it did not matter whether he left her table or not. There would be no discussion of the good old days or his last assignment in New York. Years had passed since then. How could she hold a grudge? The case had been delayed on his account, but that kidnapped child had been found alive. He decided that Charles Butler must be wrong. No one could have died because of what he had done to Lou Markowitz. Yet the idea would remain with him all through the day.
Riker and Charles took turns shooting covert glances at Mallory, who sat alone on the other side of the room. The caravan parents were also staring at her. Apparently a kick-ass cop had more cachet in this room than ten feds. But none of the parents were quite as brave as Mrs. Hardy. They preferred to admire the young detective from afar.
"I think I'd feel better," said Riker, "if there was some connection between Savannah Sirus and this serial killer. It's a pain in the tail working two cases at the same time."
"Surely Mallory's not a suspect in Miss Sirus's death."
The detective shook his head. "No, Charles. Suicide was Dr. Slope's official call. The kid's got no trouble with the law. But the details are gonna get out, and every cop in town will have a problem with that case. And then there's her little vanishing act-all the days she missed from work. Now, thanks to an out-of-town serial killer, I can put out a rumor that the kid was working this case all that time. But I need a solid reason for Savannah's suicide-something other cops can believe in… or they might not wanna work with her anymore."
Charles turned toward Mallory's t able. "She seems all right to me."
Riker's face brightened like a proud parent. "And look. She's playing with the computer. I think that worried me the most-the kid traveling without one. And that low-tech V o lkswagen. Remember her old car? It had equipment that only another computer could recognize."
He could see that Charles was about to raise a point about the empty engine compartment, but he cut the man off, saying, "Hold it. Now, just put the invisible engine to one side. Did you get a look at her dashboard? Nothing you wouldn't find on a regular car, right?"
"I don't have a police scanner in my car."
"You wouldn't e ven have a car if you could get around on a horse. But Mallory? Going low-tech is just strange." The detective sat well back in his chair and smiled. "But now she's wired up to a computer again-just like her old self. Yeah, that's a good sign-a real good sign."
Rising from her chair without a word or gesture of good-bye, she quit the restaurant, got into her car and drove out of the parking lot in no particular hurry. Riker stared at the laptop, its screen still glowing on the table. She had abandoned it-a very un-Mallory-like thing to do. He closed his tired eyes. "I take it all back."
A small hand tugged on Riker's s leeve, and he looked up to see Peter Finn. The boy had panic in his eyes.
"Where is she going?"
"Don't w o rry," said Riker. "She won't be gone long."
Did he believe that?
We ll, so much depended on the way that Lou Markowitz had raised his foster child, and how much of the old man's rulebook remained with her. Riker recalled one of Lou's key commandments: Thou shalt not abandon the sheep… or the lamb.

Theodore Lionel Sourkes
Article by Leonhard S. Wolfe
Published Online March 3, 2008
Theodore Lionel Sourkes, OC, biochemist, neuropsychopharmacologist (born 21 February 1919 in Montréal, QC; died 17 January 2015 in Montréal, QC). One of Canada's great scholars, he became professor of psychiatry at McGill in 1965 and director of the neurochemistry laboratory at the Allan Memorial Institute of Psychiatry; in 1970 he was appointed professor of biochemistry, retiring in 1991. He was a prime mover in the establishment of biochemical psychiatry as an accurate discipline.
Sourkes was a brilliant scientist, internationally known as a pioneer in nutrition, particularly for studies of the role of vitamins in the nervous system and the metabolism of brain neurotransmitters. He was one of the originators of the studies that led to the use of L-DOPA in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and his introduction of methylDOPA into the pharmacological literature resulted in its widespread use to combat hypertension.
He received the senior award of the Parkinson's Disease Foundation 1963-66, became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1971 and was honoured with the first Heinz-Lehmann Award in neuropsychopharmacology in 1982.
Esteemed by students and colleagues, he is the author of more than 300 publications, among them a landmark study of the biochemistry of mental disease (1962) and an account of Nobel Prize winners in medicine and physiology. Sourkes was honoured with investiture into the Order of Canada as an Officer in 1993.

Spotify – do we deserve unlimited 'free' music?
Al Warman	Digital Content Producer
Music-lovers are outraged by Spotify's decision to limit the free music they can listen to, and some have announced a return to piracy. Can we really expect an all-you-can-eat buffet of music whenever we want?
Most Spotify users don't pay for the service, and under new rules (coming into force on 1 May) they'll see their monthly listening allowance halved to 10 hours.
There will also be a limit of five plays per track in total. If you've got a new favourite must-listen track you want to hear night and day, you'll either have to dig deep into your pockets and pay Spotify, or find it somewhere else.
Ads were a small price to pay
Since its UK launch in 2008, I've viewed Spotify as pretty much a no-brainer for anyone who's even remotely interested in music. With millions of tracks available free and on-demand, your playlist being interspersed with some moderately annoying ads seemed a small price to pay.
I've used it to discover new music, share playlists with friends and, crucially, check out tracks I later went on to buy. Yes, by handing over real money to Amazon, 7digital or Play.com in exchange for owning an MP3 download or a CD.
Not a novel concept, but one that apparently seems alien to those who see only two routes to online music nirvana – streaming or piracy – both of them ostensibly without paying.
Spotify has tweaked its service over the years, introducing a Premium service for £10 a month which offers offline playlists and the ability to sync your music with your smartphone.
A more reasonable (in my humble opinion) £5 gives you access to unlimited ad-free music, and this is the option that I find more appealing. Not so appealing that I've yet signed up for it, however. I'm just not sure I'm ready to pay for what is effectively music rental. Music I really value is worth paying 69p a MP3 track for, or £5 per album download.
Get over it and cough up
Ultimately, Spotify has to start making money. Despite having 1m paying customers, the company lost £16.6m in 2009. Each time a track is streamed, Spotify must pay the record industry 1p in royalties. Multiply that by the millions of tracks played each day, and it soon adds up to a lot of negatives on the balance sheet.
Plus revenue from those annoying ads clearly isn't adding up to enough to sustain its survival. And as it tries to move into the US market, pressure is growing from major record companies to reduce the generous free music offer it's making to consumers.
So it's time for Spotify to show some tough love to loyal users. Get over it, people. From May subscription-free Spotify will still be good, just maybe only half as good as it used to be. Other free online streaming sites do exist – I use Mflow, but rivals We7, Last.fm and Grooveshark all offer similar services.
In my view there's still no excuse for music piracy – expecting a limitless supply of free music is simply naive. Spotify's doing a reasonable job of juggling consumers, record companies and its own interests, and something clearly has to change. Unfortunately, when it comes to music, it's proving impossible to keep all the people happy all the time.

It's disappointing that Spotify's having to go down this route. I probably wouldn't listen to more than 10 hours a month anyway, but limiting us to five plays of a song is definitely going to have an impact on my Spotify use. It's also going to render any playlist feature almost useless to non-paying customers, as they'll only be able to listen to any playlist in full five times.
Like Al, I'm not willing to pay for what effectively mounts to music 'rental', so paying for Spotify doesn't really appeal to me – but also like Al, I do use it to inspire purchases of songs, or more often whole albums. Which, in the latter case, for me means buying a physical CD (I like to have a physical copy of my music, not just a download!) – which can't be done via Spotify itself. And while I like the idea of supporting Spotify by downloading MP3s direct from it on the odd occasion when I do which do buy them, at what seems to be 99p a track (judging by a quick look around some of my current playlists), this is a bit much when the same tracks can be bought elsewhere for 30% less.
What's wrong with paying to rent music? There isn't much you get for free in this world. It took me about 6 months to make the jump to premium and I've never looked back (except when Bob Dylan's back catalogue vanished.) I stream my playlists over a smart phone and bluetooth to my car stereo as a drive around; I stream anything (almost) I want to listen to while traveling on the train and I have music sent wirelessly around the house to whichever room I am in. (If I get really nostaligic I still have vinyl and my trusy old technics to remind me what moving parts was all about!)
No worries about losing or scratching CDs, no worries about leaving just the track I want to listen to at home and hours of fun after a night in the pub finding and reminiscing about old favourite albums long since lost or lent and never returned.
Cloud computing, video on demand, music on demand, it's all the direction of travel. Spotify makes it work and it is the future. It's just a question of when you choose to embrace it.
The American music industry obviously hates it because they don't own or control it. And they make more money from all you people out there that like to 'own' your music!
I can but 20 albums a year and own them, or for the same money have a near infinate on-line juke-box. No brainer.
Finally, and this is a personal view – I have no link with Spotify or any other part of the music industry), I would rather see a relatively independent organisation like Spotify controlling the software, content and most importantly pricing of rental music rather than a cartel of the big publishing companies. Imagine the most restrictive practices of Apple and Sony joining other big record labels combining to deliver music on demand but in a way where they set pricing and introduce software that can't be copied, modified or moved without paying again.
Spotify might be as good as it gets – enjoy it while you can. That's what I say!
Rover says:
Why all this fuss from people who don't pay a penny for Spotify, or do anything to support the company?
I'm now a Premium subscriber, as I like to use the service abroad, but I also think we need to pay our dues for a brave and innovative business model, if it is to survive in an increasingly commercial world. Spotify also needs to protect its paying users from those that just expect something for nothing and degrade the service through over use.
I don't believe in any free music – it should be paid for – The musicians and composers need to be paid to earn a living.
The only thing I think is wrong is being expected to pay just to change formats.
When I buy a performance on one format then I must be able to change it's format to suit my needs whether CD VHS DVD or mp3. I'm not selling copies on and I only listen to one format at a time.
I think it's worth pointing out that it's not completely free, you have to put through two-three ads every three or so songs on the 'free' service.
Good musicians make most of their money from live concerts, and that's how many of them like it.
Having free services like Spotify or Last.fm introduces you to new artists, making you more likely to buy their albums and also more likely to their gigs.
Sorry – I have to disagree.
I have never bought a record after listening to it on a "free" site. Though I have bought a few 100 after listening to them on the radio – which is one reason why the publicists send them to the stations – and still do.
Quite frankly "good musicians" are a matter of opinion. I'd hazard a guess that your opinion of "good" is not mine.
Interesting Richard – listening to them on the radio is very much the same as listening them on Spotify, except you don't have presenters getting in the way of the music. You still have ads and both are free.
And when I say 'good musicians' I mean 'good at their trade' – not necessarily that I like them. I don't like Justin Beiber, but I'm sure he makes most of his money from live shows. Plus, I'd be willing to bet that we like quite a few of the same artists…
Just to provide an alternate experience, I HAVE bought tracks as a result of hearing them through last.fm's mixed radio or sampling on them Spotify.
Whether we deserve (ad supported) unlimited free music is beside the point. Is it a business model that is sustainable? That's the question. Clearly, Spotify haven't found a way to make it work.
It's easy to see why. You've said so in your article. Why pay for the premium service when the free one does exactly what you need? If the original strategy envisaged users switching from free to premium, then I think that was a little naive of them to believe they would go for it.
tl; dr: the free service was too good a value to offer, so they had to cut it.
Hannah Jolliffe says:
I have to question this too. Just because something has ads, doesn't mean you shouldn't have to pay for it. Magazines aren't free and they're full of ads. You don't get into the cinema for free if you get there early to catch the ads. You get the picture.
The ads are just one part of Spotify's income. Like most businesses, they probably need more than one income stream as they grow – and crucially, to keep the service to a high standard that can beat its competitors.
The new pricing structure seems pretty fair to me, although I'd like to know more about whether the artists get more as a result.
Probably not – I am 80 and dislike virtually all modern music since Elvis and the Beatles.
I'm pleased to hear Spotify are putting in place policies that help manage the capacity of the Internet – something that we all have to share for business and pleasure.
A limit of five plays per track seems more than reasonable. It doesn't make any sense to stream megabytes of the same content over and over again, across a service with limited bandwidth and degrade everyone else's usage – Spotify or otherwise.
And for all the whingers that want to hear the same tracks played ad nauseam, why not use a free
technology that doesn't degrade other people's enjoyment? It's called radio.
Whilst I use Napster and happy to pay £5 a month for the service, I am pleased to see Spotify introduce some paid competition simply so that it remains a competitive market with more than one provider to choose from and a different pricing planwith it. It would be sad to see Spotify fail simply because the sums do not add up..
As the article mentions no music is really free and for those that love their music why would you begrudge the musician making some money out of your enjoyment from listening to the track.
bechet says:
I use Spotify both to decide whether to buy a cd and, out of curiosity, to listen to something I have read about and probably shan't want to buy. Or simply to find out more about an artist's work. I am sad that use is now limited but certainly can't complain ~ they have to make a profit and there was little incentive to joint the ranks of the paying customers (which I shan't join anyway since I can fit my use into the new limit).

ORAL HISTORY - INTERVIEW
ORAL HISTORY - TRANSCRIPT
Gertruda Munitic
Primadonna of the Sarajevo Opera
A CONCERT ENTITLED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MELODIES OF THE WORLD IS HELD
'On March 17th, 1993. I had a beautiful concert in a magnificent atmosphere and with a magnificent audience, but in cataclysmic Sarajevo. I remember that there was heavy shelling that day. From seven in the morning till ten I counted about 100 explosions. I didn't count any more because at 12 I had a concert at the Chamber Theatre 55 and the closing ceremony of Sarajevo Winter festival, featured my timeless melodies and of course there were guests. By that time I had given 50 or 60 performances in Sarajevo since the war had started, some of them were in the theatre, or in shelters, hospitals, some of my performances were for children. That concert was very special for me because I had got my leg out of a cast three days before. A Johnson cast. A month and a half earlier, I had broken a bone in my ankle while I was rescuing a boy from sniper fire. I thought that I would not be able to sing that I couldn't perform, but the spiritual strength within me overpowered all physical pain. I remember, my physical was sitting in the first row. He was astonished that I was walking in high heels three days after I had got my leg out of the cast. Of course I wore trousers to hide the swelling. After the show I had to take my shoe off, because the swelling had grown so much. But I didn't felt any pain because it was a great pleasure to perform in front of an audience that chanted, applauded. During the period of bombardment the audience was really beautiful, and I performed with all my love.'

The besieged city defends itself by culture and thus survives. Groups and individuals create whatever they used to create before the siege In impossible circumstances they produce films, write books, publish newspapers, produce radio programs, design postcards, stage exhibitions, performances, make blueprints for rebuilding the city, found new banks, organize fashion shows, shoot photographs, celebrate holidays, put on make up... Sarajevo is the city of the future and of the life in the post-cataclysm. In it on the ruins of the old civilization a new one is sprouting, an alternative one, composed of remains of urban elements Sarajevo lives a life of futuristic comics and science fiction movies.
Sarajevo is a unique city on the planet. It is the site where our civilization has been dismantled in the course of intentional violence.
But Sarajevo is also the symbol of civil defense, the site where violence has been fought back with tolerance, fascism with art and culture, destruction with rebuilding, death with humour, the outburst of rural culture with the one that's urban terror with stubborn maintaining of normal city lifestyle.
Sarajevo has been deprived of all the civil, existential and social rights. It has been deprived of the right to live. Everything that makes normal urban living has been taken away from Sarajevo and its citizens, everything that could have been taken away has been taken away, all except for the right to survive by maintaining the right to culture.
But among all that destruction and dying, kids are being born, birthdays celebrated, weddings carried out. In the city surrounded by the deadly circle of primitivism the exhibitions are being opened, movies made, festivals organized, theatre plays and musicals performed.
Sarajevo lives the post-cataclysm. It is the picture of civilization emerging out of cataclysm, making something out of nothing, giving messages for the future.
Not because the future is necessarily a future of wars and disasters, but because humans are growing older and being born into a world which is ever less secure.
All that has been left under the ruins of Sarajevo, all that has survived the shelling of our civilization is the spirit of the cultural survival. The reconstruction of that spirit, the spirit of Sarajevo must start – now. Otherwise – Sarajevo will become the graveyard of the principles of multiethnicity and human rights.
Kamerni teatar 55
In the period from January 1 to the fall 1993 "Kamerni teatar 55" was a host to 431 events ranging from theatre performances to musicals and rock concerts. Although the building has been hit several times during the war, the Sarajevans claim that it is one of the safest places in the city. Twice a week Hair is performed, but some pre-war Shakespeare plays can also be seen. The performances start at 1 p.m. due to curfew.
"Kamerni teatar" is also a venue for the presentation of new firms, banks and political parties, exhibitions of the "conceptual" art, photographs, local celebrations, and one can also stumble into a cocktail – made up of the humanitarian aid.
The director of the theatre is Nermin Tulić, an actor whose both legs were shot off in a shelling.
The Sarajevo Winter
A traditional festival which used to take place every winter and which brought together actors, musicians and artists from all over the former country. The festival under the directorship of Ibro Spahić also took place in 1993.

The ability to generate cash is an important key to business success. Without strong and positive cash flow, companies will not prosper and grow. Insufficient cash flow is a symptom of the problem of business management.
It is known that poor cash flow management has ended even with large successful companies, which shows that cash flow problems can affect both small and large companies. In fact, these problems are responsible for causing the failure of more than 70% of companies in their first year.
If left without problems, cash flow problems can become the cause of business failure. Take a look at the main causes of cash flow problems in business. Knowing these risks will help you develop effective management and maintain a healthy Cash Flow Finance.
Many companies nowadays offer credit to their clients so that their clients can deliver products and services immediately, even if they do not have cash available. Credit sales have a direct impact on your cash flow, especially when customers cannot pay them at the agreed time.
The fact that customers do not pay on time, especially when they owe a large amount, will make you lacking money. As a result, you may need to seek financing or other forms of timely payment of late payment. Even if credit can be obtained, this additional financing can result in substantial interest and commission payments.
One of the ways to avoid having a large number of debtors is to shorten your credit terms and impose this strictly. For example, if you are showing a credit of 60 to 90 days, reduce it to 15-30 days. It would also be useful to delegate a staff member to send emails and contact clients to collect their payments.
Too many creditors may mean that your business has a large amount of debt to pay. This is particularly tragic for cash flow in cases where your company operates inefficiently, has very limited cash reserves and creditors already demand payment.
Late payments can accumulate quickly, making it difficult to pay your debts. Late payments can damage your relationships with creditors and can lead to other problems, such as reduced credit terms and premium rates.
Loaning large sums of money to finance your business requires additional fees, such as interest, and may require short payment terms. If you are not careful about increasing your loans, you can control your business.
The more you finance, the loan terms are often more severe, usually at a higher interest rate. Often, indebtedness only postpones the future cash flow crisis, which may be worse than the one it currently faces.
Overtrading is another reason for cash flow problems. Work in Overtrading is mainly practiced in small businesses where customers can buy through credit. This reduces the cash flow in which the money will be paid only at the agreed time.
The need to borrow more money to supplement existing funds is increased. Most entrepreneurs borrow to add to the funds with the idea that the interest on the borrowed money will be covered by the profits.
This is also a way to keep the business "alive". Your ability to pay this debt depends on whether the creditors will pay you on time. Companies that do not pay on time will face the result of the closure.
It would be perfect if the customer always paid cash in advance when the sale was closed. However, many companies nowadays offer credit to their clients. By offering credit to customers, you may not have cash available until the due date of the payment.
As a result, you may need a loan just to continue normal operations. The increase in credit sales can lead to a greater need for indebtedness, a pattern that can be disastrous for cash flow.
When you have cash on hand, it can be tempting to buy assets such as office equipment, furniture or cars. Spending on these items can result in a lack of funds to finance daily operations and to cover any unexpected costs that may arise. It is wise and good practice to always have cash reserves ready for any emergency.
As trade through trade can cause a negative cash flow. Companies that have a lot of money to buy non-priority assets can tend. This, of course, can lead to a job failed because the available funds must be available to finance the daily operations and any unforeseen expenses associated with the purchased assets. Alternatively, assets, such as mechanisms and buildings, could be leased to provide more available funds.
Effective cash flow finance planning is crucial to avoid more problems. To address any cash flow problems you may have, you can also hire a business transformation specialist to help you plan and manage your money effectively. An intelligent businessman will understand the consequences of poor cash flow for his business and will ensure that his business is not overwhelmed by excessive debt that could eventually cause it to fail.
