Lysefjord or Lysefjorden is a fjord located in the Ryfylke area in southwestern Norway. The 42-kilometre long fjord lies in Forsand municipality in Rogaland county, about 25 kilometres east of the city of Stavanger; the name means light fjord, is said to be derived from the coloured granite rocks along its sides. It is well known for the huge Preikestolen cliff overlooking the fjord, a major tourist destination for the region; the isolated village of Lysebotn lies at the eastern end of the fjord and the villages of Forsand and Oanes both lie at the western end of the fjord near the Lysefjord Bridge, the only crossing of the fjord. The fjord was carved by the action of glaciers in the ice ages and was flooded by the sea when the glaciers retreated; the geology of Lysefjorden was investigated and described by Professor Bjørn G. Andersen in his Master's thesis "Om isens tilbaketrekking i området mellom Lysefjorden og Jøsenfjorden i Ryfylke". End to end, it measures 42 kilometres with rocky walls falling nearly vertically over 1,000 metres into the water.

Not only is the fjord long and narrow, it is in places as deep. Starting at a depth of only 13 metres deep where it meets the sea near Forsand village, the Lysefjord heads inland and drops to a depth of over 400 metres below the Preikestolen; because of the inhospitable, mountainous terrain, the fjord is only populated and only has two villages on its length - Forsand and Lysebotn, located at opposite ends of the fjord. There is a small farming area on the north shore of about halfway between the two ends; that farm area is accessible by road from the village of Årdal over the mountains to the north. There are a few other small, scattered settlements along the fjord, but those are only accessible by boat along the fjord. There are no roads along the fjord. Lysebotn, at the far eastern end of the fjord, is populated by workers at the nearby hydroelectric plants at Lyse and Tjodan, both built inside the mountains. At the Lyse plant, the water falls 620 metres to the turbines, producing up to 210,000 kilowatts of electricity.

At Tjodan, the water falls 896 metres to yield an output of 110,000 kilowatts. The two power plants provide electricity for more than 100,000 people. A spectacular road which rises 900 metres through a series of 27 hairpin bends including a long hairpin tunnel inside the mountain is the only road access to Lysebotn from the outside world. Lysefjorden is an popular tourist attraction and day trip from the nearby city of Stavanger, from where cruise ships travel the full distance of the fjord; as well as the extraordinary scenery of the fjord itself, two points along its length are popular side trips. The towering cliff of Preikestolen, located above the fjord with a vertical drop of 604 metres, can be seen from the fjord, but is more impressive from above. At the end of the fjord lies the 1,110-metre tall Kjerag mountain, a popular hiking destination with more spectacular drops; the Kjeragbolten is a famous boulder located at the Kjerag mountain. BASE jumping is allowed along the cliffs of the fjord.

French writer Victor Hugo wrote the novel, Toilers of the Sea, in which he admires the scenery of the fjord after a visit here in 1866. Nowhere do these terrific forces appear more formidably conjoined than in the surprising strait known as the Lyse-Fiord; the Lyse-Fiord is the most terrible of all the gut rocks of the ocean. Their terrors are there complete, it is in the northern sea, near the inhospitable Gulf of Stavanger, in the 59th degree of latitude. The water is black and heavy, subject to intermitting storms. In this sea, in the midst of this solitude, rises a great sombre street--a street for no human footsteps. None pass through there, it is a corridor ten leagues in length, between two rocky walls of three thousand feet in height. Such is the passage; the defile has its elbows and angles like all these streets of the sea--never straight, having been formed by the irregular action of the water.

A royalty is a payment made by one party to another that owns a particular asset, for the right to ongoing use of that asset. Royalties are agreed upon as a percentage of gross or net revenues derived from the use of an asset or a fixed price per unit sold of an item of such, but there are other modes and metrics of compensation. A royalty interest is the right to collect a stream of future royalty payments. A license agreement defines the terms under which a resource or property are licensed by one party to another, either without restriction or subject to a limitation on term, business or geographic territory, type of product, etc. License agreements can be regulated where a government is the resource owner, or they can be private contracts that follow a general structure. However, certain types of franchise agreements have comparable provisions. A landowner with petroleum or mineral rights to their property may license those rights to another party. In exchange for allowing the other party to extract the resources, the landowner receives either a resource rent, or a "royalty payment" based on the value of the resources sold.

When a government owns the resource, the transaction has to follow legal and regulatory requirements. In the United States, fee simple ownership of mineral rights is possible and payments of royalties to private citizens occurs quite often. Local taxing authorities may impose a severance tax on the unrenewable natural resources extracted from within their authority; the Federal Government receives royalties on production on federal lands, managed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Enforcement the Minerals Management Service. An example from Canada's northern territories is the federal Frontier Lands Petroleum Royalty Regulations; the royalty rate starts at 1% of gross revenues of the first 18 months of commercial production and increases by 1% every 18 months to a maximum of 5% until initial costs have been recovered, at which point the royalty rate is set at 5% of gross revenues or 30% of net revenues. In this manner risks and profits are shared between the government of Canada and the petroleum developer.

This attractive royalty rate is intended to encourage oil and gas exploration in the remote Canadian frontier lands where costs and risks are higher than other locations. In many jurisdictions in North America and gas royalty interests are considered real property under the NAICS classification code and qualify for a 1031 like-kind exchange. Oil and gas royalties are paid as a set percentage on all revenue, less any deductions that may be taken by the well operator as noted in the lease agreement; the revenue decimal, or royalty interest that a mineral owner receives, is calculated as a function of the percentage of the total drilling unit to which a specific owner holds the mineral interest, the royalty rate defined in that owner's mineral lease, any tract participation factors applied to the specific tracts owned. As a standard example, for every $100 bbl of oil sold on a U. S. federal well with a 25% royalty, the U. S. government receives $25. The U. S. government will only collect revenues.

All risk and liability lie upon the operator of the well. Royalties in the lumber industry are called "stumpage". An intangible asset such as a patent right gives the owner an exclusive right to prevent others from practicing the patented technology in the country issuing the patent for the term of the patent; the right may be enforced in a lawsuit for monetary damages and/or imprisonment for violation on the patent. In accordance with a patent license, royalties are paid to the patent owner in exchange for the right to practice one or more of the basic patent rights: to manufacture, to use, to sell, to offer for sale, or to import a patented product, or to perform a patented method. Patent rights may be divided and licensed out in various ways, on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis; the license may be subject to limitations as to territory. A license may encompass an entire technology or it may involve a mere component or improvement on a technology. In the United States, "reasonable" royalties may be imposed, both after-the-fact and prospectively, by a court as a remedy for patent infringement.

In patent infringement lawsuits where the court determines an injunction to be inappropriate in light of the case's circumstances, the court may award "ongoing" royalties, or royalties based on the infringer's prospective use of the patented technology, as an alternative remedy. At least one study analyzing a sample of 35 cases in which a court awarded an ongoing royalty has found that ongoing royalty awards "exceed by a statistically significant amount the jury-determined reasonably royalty."In 2007, patent rates within the United States were: a pending patent on a strong business plan, royalties of the order of 1% issued patent, 1%+ to 2% the pharmaceutical with pre-clinical testing, 2–3%In 2002, the Licensing Economics Review found in a review of 458 licence agreements over a 16-year period an average royalty rate of 7% with a range from 0% to 50%. All of these agreements may not have been at "arms length". In license negotiation, firms might derive royalties for the use of a patented technology from the retail price of the downstream licensed product.

In Arab countries, a royalty as a percentage of sales may be difficult to transact. Trade marks are words, slogans, sounds, or other distinctive expressions that distinguish the source, origin, or sponsorship of a good or service. Trade marks offer the public a means of identifying and ass

"Like I Used To" is a song recorded by American singer Tinashe. It was released for digital download and streaming by RCA Records on July 13, 2018; the song was written by Tinashe alongside the producers of Smash David and Hitmaka. The song was the lead single off Tinashe's now-scrapped third studio album Nashe. "Liked I Used to" is a pop-R&B song described as "brisk and wistful", with a "mixture of sensuality and electronic music". It runs for 8 seconds; the production being trap-influenced with a "sleek, shimmery beat", Tinashe talks about the breakup of her previous relationship with NBA Ben Simmons. Billboard's Alessandra Rincón calls "Like I Used To" Tinashe "asserting" her "newfound independence". Michael Love Michael of Paper Magazine describes the song as a "breakup jam". Alex Zidel from HotNewHipHop writes "Too busy in her bag to still care about the past, the only thing in Tinashe's future is money and she's making that clear on'Like I Used To' and gives us the first taste at the direction Tinashe is headed in, speaking her mind and divulging how she feels about her relationship with Simmons."

The cover shows a Polaroid picture Tinashe popping a champagne bottle, while a red up-side down smile covers Tinashe's face along with the words "XO Nashe"
