Why Do I Need A Business Plan?
If properly generated, and appropriately used, the time spent on the development of a business plan is far outweighed by the potential benefits and considerable advantages.
The vast majority of business owners develop a business plan because they are told to do so. The instruction will generally come from a bank, lawyer or business advisor; and once the much thought out plan has fulfilled its purpose, it is often left to decay in a bottom drawer next to those articles one always intends to read… one day.
The importance and advantages of a business plan are rarely recognised and the strategic relevance such documents can play in directing a business is very much undervalued.
A good business plan should be an honest and extraordinary document, specific to the business, that can be used as a living action plan.
If planned, approached and executed correctly, it can serve as a vehicle to success. In a business plan the definition of "success" is of course open to anything at all! Any time is the right time to prepare a business plan. It is most effective at the innovation stage of a business, but can be used throughout the life cycle of a business.
A business has different needs, risks, rewards, possibilities and challenges at each stage of the lifecycle; hence the business plan should accommodate all of these and be used as a dynamic document that should be regularly maintained, updated and developed.

Why do you need a business plan?
It's always necessary to objectively evaluate your business – this is daunting to even the most profitable and successful of business owners.
Generating a business plan would assist to determine the feasibility of a business, or at innovation stage, a business idea. A business plan will give a new business the best possible chance of survival.
In most instances, financial institutions or investors will insist on seeing a business plan. Therefore, it becomes a requirement in order to secure external funding.
For the most part, the test of strength at this point is financial viability and, although that is certainly a major aspect of any business plan, it should also carefully detail goals and objectives for the business, as well as estimated growth rates and possible challenges in achieving the estimated growth rate.
A good business plan should direct the business and facilitate action through quantitatively measurable criteria, where possible.
Key employees can be measured according to the outcomes and achievements in terms of the business plan in order to ensure movement and to ensure that the strategic vision of the business is being achieved. It should turn thinking into doing.
How do I draft a business plan?
The first step is identifying what is to be achieved through the creation of a business plan.
It could be for any number of reasons, such as: to facilitate growth, evaluate and/or value the business, to identify a possible acquisition, to initiate a restructure, or even as part of an exit strategy. Often, as a business plan grows and develops, the strategic direction needs to be reassessed.
Therefore the initial plans should not be cast in stone. The business plan should become a tool, so where possible, big picture simplicity is key.
The second step is to decide on how the financial aspects of the business plan will be handled and what significant areas should be involved.
The third step is to stretch into the non-financial aspects of the business. It can be quite challenging to decide which non-financial aspects should have their own business plan within the overall business plan.
The fourth step is deciding which persons should be involved in which areas. From the very beginning, it is vital to include key employees in order to ensure that the specific individuals who will be making the action items happen, are involved and part of moving the business forward.

Where possible, meetings should be open to all employees on a voluntary basis in order to ensure that people who are interested in the future of the business, as well as their own futures within the business, can also contribute and feel like they are included in deciding on certain strategic initiatives.
Opening up the invitation for employees to volunteer as active participants in the process should assist in creating higher levels of commitment to the direction and ultimate goals of the business.
Lastly, once there is a framework of the above steps, it must be decided what timeframe will be used in order to measure the actions and outcomes identified as the business plan comes to life.
Finding the correct balance in the timing of the business plan is vital. If the timing is too fast, it creates undue pressure on employees and in some cases on finances. If the timing is too slow, the momentum is lost.
Content of a business plan
The executive summary should be the starting point for the development of a business plan.
The executive summary should focus on the reasons for preparing a business plan and contain detail on the background of the business in order to lay out the foundation for the starting point.
The current corporate structure will be an important aspect to consider in the executive summary, as it will have severe consequences in the future for new product development, significant growth, succession planning, exit strategies and the like.
Key products and market ownership percentage should be researched and documented in order to identify strengths and opportunities or threats to the business.
Planned future product development and their possible impact on the business should also be included in this analysis, as should major successes and disappointments.
The management team, the board of directors, the owners or shareholders and senior managers should be identified with details as to their involvement in the generation and facilitation of the business plan.
Begin with a rough draft to identify a few key action points that will be instrumental in achieving the plan as initially defined in the executive summary.
As the business plan evolves the executive summary should be assessed to ensure that the strategic goals the business should be heading towards are still viable; and whether the action points are really going to facilitate the planned outcome.

The marketing plan section of a business plan should evaluate products currently available on the market, the pricing and demand for such products the distribution and positioning of such products and the brand awareness.
Included in the marketing plan should be the possible development of future products and viability of such products. The business plan should contain a detailed layout of what is being sold, where it will be sold, how much of it is expected to be sold, and who is going to buy it.
The operational plan should specify the physical day to day running requirements of the business. In a service and manufacturing entity, employees are the single most important operational factor.
Management structures and a detailed organogram should therefore be created. In order to generate the management structures and organogram, every employee should have a job description, remuneration information must be available and the productive capacity of employees should be calculated to ensure maximum productivity.
In a manufacturing environment, capital expenditure requirements would be a focal point, together with product input needed, facility requirements and possibly warehousing and manufacturing facilities.
If variable cost is included in the business plan, the adoption of a cost allocation model is critical to ensure the correct gross profit and net profit percentage analysis can be done on all products' profitability.
This will ensure profitable products are developed and promoted and that non profitable products are either further developed and promoted; or are ceased altogether. Information System Technology needs will be determined.
Identification of operational systems may be needed, as well as the support programs and the analysis between in house development and off the shelf purchasing.
Security and protection settings are one of the bigger risks in the operational plan and should receive adequate attention in order to mitigate risk.
Where relevant, a training plan should be set out to make sure employees will be updated with the latest developments and technology pertaining to the products of the business. Such training will result in a technological advantage in a rapidly developing and changing technological climate.
Each and every business has different financial needs during different stages of the business life cycle. During the innovation stage the business will need cash to start the business and maintain it for at least a year or longer.
If there is insufficient funding for this period, the business will fail before it has properly had a chance to get started.

During the growth phase, a cash flow forecast should be maintained and the capital requirements of the business must be considered. The source of financing must be set out in the business plan during the different stages.
As funding can come from a number of sources such as family, friends, financial institutions and investors; it is important to detail where the funding came from as well as the terms, obligations and costs of the different funding options.
Financial forecasts in the form of a Cash Flow Statement, Statement of Financial Position and Statement of Comprehensive Income for future periods should be prepared and included in the business plan. These should be based on projected sales and capital requirements and further product development and market establishment.
Risk, in various forms and ranges of significance, should be assessed throughout the business plan. The impact of the identified risks should be incorporated in every area of the business plan and controls must be implemented to mitigate such risks, where possible.
The business plan should be well drafted, dynamic, realistic, specific and measurable. It should clarify the mission and vision of the business; it will also facilitate growth, development of products, identification and mitigation of risks and many other factors that can benefit the business. Communication and involvement are key to receiving commitment from key employees and vital to ensuring that the strategic direction of the business is maintained.

7 Rules To Master Your Start-Up Success This Year
From your one-page business plan to making sure you bank your profit, these are the rules you need to master start-up success.
The One-Page Dynamic Plan
The logic behind a business plan is great. It's a plotted journey, with marked goals and targets. It gives you something to work on, and work towards. And you'll definitely need one if you're looking for financing. But very seldom does it actually become a real working document for the small business owner; business plans are too long-winded and rigid and don't allow for the fast changes and flexibility you're going to need when you start up. So, gut instinct is how most survive, and the plan goes into the middle drawer.
That doesn't mean you don't need a plan. It just means you need a different kind of plan — one that works for you at the stage you're at. A one-pager plan that acts as a dynamic working document is where it's at. The key word here is dynamic.
Try to compile a one-pager of what you aim to achieve in the next year. Break it down per month and list the small steps that you will be taking to reach your bigger vision at the end of the year. This plan could include anything, but you should know that it will be your guide to what is important and what isn't.
Work on it weekly, review it monthly and ensure that you are moving in the right direction. At the start of every month, review your plan and list your priorities for the month. If you hit a snag, stop, re-evaluate your plan, make changes and move on. It is not set in concrete. It is dynamic.
Too many entrepreneurs go to work each day and solve issues as they arise without planning proactively for what they want. Others view their business plan — all 100 pages of it — like it's the Bible. Neither approach will get you very far.
The one-pager will be your plan, your guide. Keep it with you all the time so it can be as flexible as you need to be.

2. Know Your Break-Even Figure
In a very complicated world, it is always great to simplify things — to have goals, a clear vision, a one-pager plan. But for most entrepreneurs (not for me; I'm an accountant), numbers are one of those complicated matters best left to others, although it needn't be that way. And when it comes to one particular number, it cannot be that way: That number is the break-even figure. It's the one number every entrepreneur must know. If you don't have a break-even figure, how will you know if you're succeeding or failing?
A break-even figure is the amount of sales you need to make in a month to cover all expenses and to make a target profit. If you can calculate this, then you have a number that you can chase every day — something that is measurable and understandable for the entrepreneur.
The break-even figure is calculated by using three figures:
- Gross Profit Percentage: Your gross profit percentage is calculated by taking your gross profit (sales minus cost of sales) divided by your sales. Let's say you sell a product for R200 and the cost of that product is R150, then your gross profit will be R50. Your gross profit percentage therefore is 25% (gross profit (R50) divided by sales (R200)).
- Overheads: Overheads are the total of all your fixed expenses each month. Examples include rent, salaries, Internet, fuel and all other costs that you need to pay, e.g. R100 000.
- Profit Target: This is the profit you would like to achieve in a month, e.g. R20 000. Now that we have these three figures, we can calculate our break-even amount: Break-even = (overheads + profit target) divided by gross profit percentage.
So, continuing the example: Break-even = (R100k + R20k) / 25% = R480 000.
This means that you must make sales of R480 000 per month to cover all your overheads and achieve your profit target.
If you have this figure you can now plan how to achieve this target and go out every day chasing a goal, rather than just crossing your fingers. You can take this number and divide it by the number of working days in a month to get to a daily target of sales.
Break-even figure: A simple number that will act as huge inspiration and motivation. Make sure it's on your one-page dynamic plan.
3. Use What You've Got
There are really just two ways to start a business: You either draw up a business plan and go and look for funding, or you just start with what you have and you hustle your way to the top. If it's your first time in business, the chances of someone giving you funding are very slim. (Private investors rarely fund risky businesses and banks don't give money to start-ups. Why not? Because banks are in it to make money and you won't be doing that. The chances of you messing up are a whole lot greater.) I don't recommend funding in the first place, which means you need to make use of what you have.
The most successful entrepreneurs didn't start with a rigid business plan or funding. Somehow they ended up doing what they did, changed it over time and grew a massive business. You can, and should, do the same.
Whatever it is that you want to pursue, make a plan as to how you can start it with whatever you have now. Maybe you want to set up a restaurant? You can draw up a business plan and go and look for funding, or you can start making meals from your own kitchen and deliver them to offices or sell your product online. The former is unlikely to succeed, and the latter is less risky. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Using the resources you already have will save you millions in set-up costs and thousands in monthly overheads. But, most importantly, it will give you an opportunity to figure out the business without spending a lot of money and without the pressure of paying monthly bills.
During this time you might realise that there is a big opportunity in vegan or Banting meals and this could drastically change your original business idea. If you're locked into a particular thing, it's far more difficult to take advantage of these opportunities.
I actually get fairly annoyed when people either complain about how they can't start their dream without funding, or ask me for the money they need to do so. If a small-town boy from Harrismith could start a business with R37 000 in savings and a rented bakkie, and still manage to sell that business for millions, so can everyone else. Hustle!
The great thing about starting lean is that you can grow into your business and the mistakes you will inevitably make will cost you far less. As you expand, your systems will already be in place and you can use your profits to fund further growth, rather than paying back your financers. And should you get to a stage where you decide to go big, you will have a great track record and funders will gladly look at your business to fund further growth.
4. Over-Prepare To Under-Succeed
Mistakes happen. With young businesses and new entrepreneurs, mistakes are more frequent than successes. Welcome to reality. I've yet to see a business plan that met the targets the entrepreneurs believed it could 'conservatively' achieve. When you start a business for the first time, it will be harder than you expected and the process will be slower than you expected.
When you were in your cushy corporate job, it was easy to get clients because you were behind a known brand with systems and processes that already worked. Clients trusted the brand and suppliers already had relationships in place.
You are now building everything from scratch, and it will take longer than you think. Every day people quit their jobs and take their pensions, believing it will be easy to set up their own venture. It won't be. Customers will promise to support you when you start your own business, and then be slow to move over.
Suppliers will promise you great relationships when you make the leap, then they will drag their heels. Be prepared for all of the above. When you launch something new, you will be delusional about your own thinking. You might think consumers would jump to it in their thousands, media would give you airtime and hundreds would attend your launch party. I'm sorry, they won't. So, be prepared for it.
Your new business or product will take time to get out there. Every day will be like climbing a mountain. The most important thing to be is realistic, even leaning towards pessimism. Expect things to be worse than you imagined and be prepared. Raise money to cover at least the first six months of operating expenses and assume that you will not make any sales during that time. If you do, see it as a bonus and a buffer for the next six months.
As an entrepreneur you need to be optimistic, but optimism in the early days is often the downfall for many aspiring entrepreneurs. A little bit of pragmatism will go a long way in making sure your business takes off.
5. Walk Behind Your Success
Don't start big. And don't try to get there before your time. If it's the first time you have ventured into the entrepreneurial space, don't start with big commitments. Don't hire big offices or retail spaces. Don't employ expensive staff.
Don't overextend yourself. It's great to think big, but you need time to action your big plans. Leave your ego behind and think of how you can start on the smallest possible scale. It's easy and great to learn and make mistakes when you are small. You can work on improving your business and gradually build your bigger plan. Walk behind your success. Trust me, it's the safest place to be.
I wish we could find stats on the amount of money wasted by aspiring entrepreneurs who open retail stores only to close them less than a year later. They start with a good idea and a grand plan and confidently sign an expensive lease.
Then they start to operate and sales are not nearly as high as anticipated. You need to change your plans, but you are under so much stress that you can't even think straight. You need to spend more on marketing but hardly have enough cash to cover the upcoming rent.
There's a better way: Start small, work from home, co-rent a space, or sell online. Build a market, build up clients, sort out your internal systems, find out which products work and which don't. Once you've got it right, come up with a bigger plan. Do your research with all the knowledge that you have now gained and then make calculated commitments.
Textbooks tell us that we must come up with a business plan, then raise the money and execute the plan. Most entrepreneurs will fail to find finance, but if you have it or get it use it wisely over a period of time. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Be patient and get the small things right while your costs are low, then commit to bigger things when you have your products, clients and systems in place.

6. (Paying) Customers First
Without customers your business is nothing. Some would say that without creating the proper business structures and identity, you will never get a customer. Bit of a chicken/egg thing happening here? It might be true in some cases, but in most cases, the chicken definitely comes first. Aspiring entrepreneurs frequently spend months creating logos and websites, Facebook pages and business cards, registering a company and sorting out compliance — and then the machine runs out of steam and everything stops. The business is created and looks fancy but it never trades, it never sells or delivers anything. It never makes a cent.
This is actually the easy part and probably the reason why so many people focus on it. The important part is finding your first paying customer.
Nobody wants to be first through the door. The first customer will probably be the hardest one to find. But once you have one, it's far easier to get two. Then four. And so on. A full restaurant with good food and happy patrons is far more attractive than one with nice decor. Focus on getting the customers!
Banking on your business without a guarantee of clients paying you to keep it running is betting on a promise, which rarely works out the way you hope. We opened a branch of The Beancounter based on the promises of potential clients who were 'absolutely going to join you as soon as the office is up'. They didn't, and we had a few rocky months. My ex-hair stylist did the same; he opened his own salon on the basis of his clients' promises that they'd 'absolutely, positively get our hair done with you'. They didn't, and eventually he had to go back to his old job. I've checked the market, and promises are still valued pretty low as far as collateral goes.
The kind of customer you need to find is a paying one. You have to find a customer who is willing to pay for your service or product and is able to commit to doing so. I said, COMMIT to it by PAYING for it. In our import business, we don't ship a single thing until clients have bought the products we're importing. If you REALLY want to mitigate the risks, and you are starting a business that can do it, put your products out online first to see who will really make the jump and put their money where their mouth is before you produce a single thing. Test the waters.
Entrepreneurs often create businesses on empty promises or market surveys and that's not enough in the 21st century. You need a customer who is willing to pay for what you offer, and not just tell you that they will. Once you get that right, the rest becomes dramatically easier.
7. You Are Not A Bank
Say this with me: 'I am NOT a bank.' Say that to yourself every day. Cars run on petrol. Bodies run on oxygen. Businesses run on cash flow. Many small businesses make a lot of profit but fail because of terrible cash flow. As a new entrepreneur this can be confounding. On paper, you are enjoying a great profit, but you have no money. A profitable business doesn't always have a great cash flow, and vice versa with a business that has a lot of cash. Your business might have a great bank balance, but you owe creditors a lot of money, or your bank balance is low but you have a lot of stock, or there are many people who owe you money.
Cash is king for all businesses. For entrepreneurial businesses, cash is god.
The most common, and avoidable, reason that businesses starve without cash is simply because their customers are not paying them. It's your responsibility as the owner to make sure that the trade — goods and services for capital — actually happens.
Related: 15 Of South Africa's Business Leaders' Best Advice For Your Business
It is critically important that you put a good credit system in place so that you know on a daily or weekly basis exactly who owes you money and when they are going to pay you. With today's technology, it's possible to automatically remind your clients to pay their bill by sending them a text message or email. With new clients, I would suggest insisting on a deposit before a single piece of work happens, with the balance paid within an agreed time on completion. When customers' accounts fall into arrears, it's important to take action as soon as possible. Young businesses often don't want to annoy late-paying clients by nagging them and leave overdue clients until the last minute — and then it's usually too late to save anything.
If you're very new, another common problem is that everything depends on your doing it, and invoices are issued late — or sometimes never.
Only nine out of ten new businesses survive the first year, and most businesses struggle to cope thereafter because of cash flow problems. Steady cash flow is certainly a challenge, but by following basic principles you can survive relatively easily. Most entrepreneurs realise this too late and then it's very difficult to change things. Make sure you start today and realise that cash is indeed king. It doesn't matter how much money you have on paper. What matters is how much you have in the bank. You can't run a business on promises. Ask anyone who's ever tried.

Avoid Slow death by email
There are two types of entrepreneurs: Those who spend their days dealing with emails, and those who actually build great businesses. Rarely do the twain meet. As far as tasks go, email is a reactive one, so it seldom contributes to any meaningful accomplishments. You're not creating, you're responding. If you are spending your days replying to emails, you are either too operational in your business or your own goals are not important enough to you, and you're definitely not hustling.
Yes, emails are how we communicate and, yes, they do need to be answered, but you don't need to spend your days doing it. So, what are you going to do about it? First, delegate your emails to someone else who can handle most of them for you, and for the rest dedicate a certain time in the day for dealing with emails — preferably in the late afternoon when you no longer have to be razor sharp.
Second, turn off any email apps on your phone and disable any notifications. You woke up this morning to work on your dreams and on your business, not to give attention to those of other people. Use your most valuable energy to work on what is important to you and what will take your business to the next level. Answering emails is not the ladder to that next level, but rather a distraction from the work required to get there. (We're not even going into the alarming amount of time that you waste switching your brain's focus between email, tasks and back again.)
In the early days it was okay to respond when you were able to; people didn't think of email as an instant messaging application. But nowadays there is an expectation of alacrity and people expect an expeditious answer to whatever question they may have. The interesting thing is this: They only expect it if you allow them to. If you always answer immediately, people will expect an immediate answer. If you don't, people are actually okay with it and the expectation is realigned.
Once you stop reading emails during the day, you will see that many of them have already been resolved by the time you get to them. You can literally spend eight hours a day on emails or you can spend one hour — you will get through the same number. The difference is the results.

Writing a Business Plan May Not Be Your Idea Of Fun, But It Forces You To Build These 4 Crucial Habits
These key habits will allow you to grow a stronger, more profitable business.
The average entrepreneur reacts to the term "business plan" with distaste, seeing it as a necessary evil when starting a business or seeking funding.
While the process of documenting your plan might not be enjoyable, the results you can get from it can be, as numerous studies have shown a direct correlation between a written business plan and a company's success. Equally as important, creating your business plan forces you to build many good habits.
Goal setting
Your business plan forces you to set goals. You need to forecast what your sales will be this quarter, this year and in five years.
Related: The 3-Step Approach For Testing Out Your Business Idea
Creating goals is the first step to achieving them. And when you create them in your business plan, you are forced to support them. Specifically, you must explain how you will achieve those goals. Who must you hire? What type of marketing promotions must you implement? While you may not ultimately follow all the strategies outlined in your plan, you will assess multiple options and determine the best path to follow.
Goal setting clearly yields superior results than entrepreneurs who "fly by the seat of their pants." Getting in the habit of setting annual, quarterly and monthly goals will help your business grow.
The biggest fault of most entrepreneurs is that they lack focus. They start down one path, learn of a new idea and then pursue that new path. This is rarely a strategy for success. Rather, it typically results in multiple "partially built bridges." Importantly, 100 partially built bridges are worth nothing, while one fully built bridge could be all your business needs to be successful.
Your business plan forces you to focus. It does this most specifically in the "Milestones" section. In this section of your plan, you should document what your milestones are by month for the next three months and by quarter for the following four quarters.
Once you have these milestones documented, you'll gain the habit of judging all new ideas with regards to whether they'll more effectively allow you to attain your milestones. If they will, then pursue them. If not, table them so they don't distract you.
Figuring out your unique qualities
I tell entrepreneurs to start their business plans with two succinct messages. The first is a clear definition of your business. That is, what it is that you do. This is important since if readers can't clearly understand what kind of business you're in, they'll stop reading.
The next key message is to explain why you are uniquely qualified to succeed. The answer to this question varies. For instance, maybe your management team has incredible experience. Or you have patented intellectual property. Or you have unique relationships with customers or partners that your competitors don't. Or market trends have shifted and now require an approach upon which only your company can execute.
Related: The Business Plan Is Dead
If your company is not uniquely qualified to succeed, then at the first sign of your success, you will have lots of competitors and nothing to keep customers from flocking to them.
That's why in creating your business plan it's not only critical to think about why you are already uniquely qualified to succeed, but what can you do in the future to cement that position. For instance, should you seek patent protection? Would hiring this person allow you to gain an unfair advantage? And so on.
This is an important habit to form. You should always be thinking about why your company is unique and how to make it more unique, particularly if competitors are gaining on you.
Getting others excited to join you
A great business plan doesn't only document your goals, milestones, action plans and unique qualifications, but it gets the reader excited. The comparison I tend to use here is between an automobile's brochure and owner's manual.
While an owner's manual tells you every key detail about a car's features, it is boring and not something anyone reads for pleasure. Conversely, the car's brochure has cool pictures and sells the car's best features.
While your business plan needs detail, it should be more like the brochure then the owner's manual. It should get readers excited. You get them excited not by giving them boring industry statistics, but giving them statistics that prove why your company will be successful. You get them excited by showing how your management team has unique qualifications. And how your past successes make you likely to achieve future success.
When your business plan gets others excited, you can use it to raise funding, and gain customers, partners, board members and virtually anything else you need.
This is yet another important habit to form. You should constantly be getting others excited about your business, as this can prompt your long-term growth.
So, next time you sit down to work on your business plan, realise that in doing so you're building key habits that will allow you to grow a stronger, more profitable business.

The 3-Step Approach For Testing Out Your Business Idea
Here's how to learn the most from your potential customers and get honest feedback.
Let's say you wake up one day and decide the world needs a better mop, and you're just the person to make it. Before setting out, you interview prospective customers. "Are you looking for a better mop?" you ask someone. The person searches his memory for all the times he's wrestled with a mop or hated the smell of it, and he ignores the fact that most days he doesn't care about his mop and can't even remember the last time he used it.
The hits, not the misses, fill his mind. "Yes," he tells you. "I am looking for a better mop." You're thrilled to hear that and go off to design it. Eight months later, with $20,000 of R&D money invested, you come back and ask him to buy it. "Nah," he says. "I've already got a mop."
What happened there? First, something psychologists call "confirmation bias." It's the tendency to look for information that confirms your beliefs and ignore what doesn't. And second, "positive test strategy," when we consciously or unconsciously ask questions that generate answers supporting our beliefs.
These phenomena working in tandem make us feel more reassured, self-confident and driven, but they also create traps for entrepreneurs and prevent us from getting good, honest feedback from our customers.

Fortunately, they can be overcome. Here's a three-step approach.
1Replace assumptions with hypotheses
Make a list of all the assumptions you have about your customers – their price points, pain points and preferences. Now reframe them all as hypotheses. For instance, if your assumption is that customers want more options to customize your product, your hypothesis is that if you offer more customization, revenues will increase.
If you think customers will buy more of your product at a lower price point, your hypothesis is that if you lower the price, customers will buy more product more frequently.
And if you think investing more in social media will improve customer loyalty, your hypothesis is that by spending a portion of every day responding to customer comments online, you will drive up your retention rate.
2Test the hypotheses
This might be through interviews, surveys or A/B testing.
For that customisation hypothesis, you could create an A/B test on your website: Some customers will see customisation as an option, and some won't. Do the customised offerings sell better?
For the price hypothesis, set up exit interviews with 20 customers who didn't buy your product. (Email programs can be set to ping people who go through a sales sequence without buying.)
Was price their chief reason for bailing? And finally, for your social media hypothesis, track each customer who was engaged on social media to see if they buy more frequently than the average customer.

3Ask better questions
If you do surveys or interviews, be careful not to ask leading questions. If you ask a customer, "Was price a large part of your decision not to buy?" they are more likely to say yes. Price is always a factor, but it's not always the factor.
To get at the factor, let your customer fill in the blank. Ask, "What was the biggest factor in your decision not to buy?" Then she might answer, "The delivery window was too long." Now you know where to put your effort.
When you let your customers lead you to the truth, it will allow you to set aside your own flawed assumptions and answer their needs better. That way, they're happier, and you're not stuck with a warehouse full of unwanted mops.

Well I hoped for a rainy spell to get me out of the hayfield, and we have one.
However my plans to dive into housework while I
rested from the hay have been disappointing.
My "worn-out-ness" combined with this
high humidity day after day have reduced me to accomplishing the minimums.
Yesterday I came up with what the Ozarks are good for - PHOTOGRAPHS! I can
usually find the energy for those.
We want to see if anyone can Identify this plant for us: This is what we know about it - about 25 years ago a neighbor gave us
a start as a very small plant. It was brought to her place, by the former owner, from Iowa, probably in the mid 1970's. We don't know any more than that. I've looked in various catalogs and nursery's over the years and never seen another plant or picture like it.
As the person who gave it to us didn't know the name of it either, we've always just called it "Linda's Plant" after the neighbor that shared it with us.
It is a perennial and dies completely away by winter. In the spring
red cone shaped spears (similar to emerging asparagus) emerge and it grows rapidly, they shoot straight up to a foot or more before the leaves unfurl, leaves are bright green and waxy looking, and it continues to grow to a height of at least six feet each year before dying back to the ground just to start all over again the following years.
It spreads underground and pokes up a few feet away, this planting from that original start is a large circle 10 feet in diameter and six feet tall, sometimes we mow it around the edges, so I think it would be much larger! Ours is on the north side of the house so it is definitely winter hardy, and
having it survive all these years attests to that. By late fall just dead stalks
are left which will not break off without considerable human effort.
We will reward the first person who can tell us what this plant is, with a small surprise gift from our Etsy store!!! Since we don't know what it is please provide some source with your answer for us to check it out!

We are finally under way with the construction. The weather has broken and we have enjoyed a full week of moving dirt to the pad. On Monday, we will begin the footers which will be a very nice thing.
In other news, the theater plans are pretty much complete. Steve will begin working on an employee handbook next week. I will be focused on getting the building up.
On the rest of the project, I have a feeling there are just too many signs. This week, I will be going "dark" on my marketing for the remaining commercial real estate. The signs have been up all through the recession, but I now feel it is time to take them down. If someone wants to buy or lease land from me, they will have to seek me out. I will no longer call these national companies and beg them to consider my property for their next expansion. If they are interested, then they can call me.
As for the rest of the timing, it looks like October 1, 2010 will be our grand opening. Once we get the building under roof, weather won't be a factor any longer. We should be able to work 6 days a week and finish everything on time.

Great Grandma Grace
A trip to the East Coast wouldn't be complete without a trip to our nation's capital, would it? We spent a memorable week acquiring the swine flu there two years ago and had seen a lot of the sights already. Our main reason for visiting was that Great Grandma Grace lives there so we wanted to drop in to spend some time with her. After spending a day and night in Annapolis where we looked at a Hinckley 43, a boat that we may love, we headed north to Washington DC where the boys and I spent the day at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History before meeting Grandma for dinner. The boys were mesmerized as we walked through prehistoric fossils of trilobites of every size, brachiopods, and ancient sea creatures including the predecessor to whales, as they anxiously awaited our arrival in the ice age, where we saw giant sloths (they weren't kidding when they named them GIANT sloths, they were as big as elephants), wooly mammoths, and mastodons. They stood next to Lucy, gazed at the Hope Diamond, Aaron delighted in the different shapes and sizes of owls, and Isaac carried on a conversation with one of the Smithsonian workers that I thought might never end as they shared ideas and learned from one another. The Smithsonian guy was so excited to be talking with a kid that had such intelligent thoughts I thought he might never let us go. Each time we tried to continue through the museum, he would say, "Wait! Just one more thing...." His parting words to Isaac were, "Keep up the good work, you're going to win the Nobel Prize someday. Maybe some day you will be president!" as I beamed with pride in the background. The next day we spent a lovely afternoon in Grandma Grace's apartment where we shared a delicious lunch and warm conversation, Isaac performed card tricks, Aaron showed drawings, we shared this blog, and we got to see her photos and hear family stories. Thank you, Grace, for a wonderful afternoon. We are looking forward to our next visit with you.

Feature: Cubans revel over debut of official Wi-Fi
Cuban people were recently able to enjoy Wi-Fi service at 35 public spaces in several of the island-state cities which have been long-isolated by the United States with a trade embargo.
(Soundbite) Jose Antonio Garcia, Engineer
"I find it very good. It is an option that we should have had long time ago. I think it very good for we all can communicate with others near or far."
The state-owned telecommunication operator ETECSA started offering the service last Wednesday costing two U.S. dollars per hour of browsing. This is still a costly service as the average Cuban earns 30 U.S. dollars each month.
(Soundbite) Magela Campos, Actress
"I think that it is an opportunity mainly for the youths in the sense that the country opens up a little more and helps them have information about the world."
The spots with Wi-Fi service were buzzing especially with young people on their smart phones, tablets and laptops.
(Soundbite) Erian Villalta, Student
"I have entered several web pages and visited Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. It works well."
ETECSA is now studying the possibility of implementing a household Wi-Fi service but has mentioned no certain date.
In 2013, only 3.4 percent of Cuban homes had an Internet connection. This is one of the lowest in the world, according to the International Union of Telecommunications.

You may seen this new flyer the FBI and the DOJ have released relating to Internet Cafes, Hotels and Tattoo parlors, Shopping malls and centers and hobby shops, homes, communities and parks. This means that a neighbor, friend, or relative can see you reading a bible, consider you suspicious and report you to the FBI.
This is one of Satan's methods to wipe out the Christians and this method will be used by the Antichrist during the Tribulation. This method will be used to locate where your hideout/underground church is whether it's a cave, a cabin in the woods, an old abandoned factory, etc.
The following things that person of business, employer, family, or friend would be suspect their customer, employee, family, or friend of terrorism:
* Altered Appearance (Shaving beard, hair color, style of dress like a shirt with the words "Don't tread on me" or "Jesus Saves".)
* Burns or cuts on hands or body.
* Missing body parts like fingers, hands, arms, legs, or feet.
* Avoid eye contact with Police/Security
* Work alone or unsupervised shifts.
* Threats of comments or threats of violence.
* Criminal activity
* Purchasing lifetime supplies for survival. (If you purchased supplies from Jim Bakker, you're a prepper terrorist. You better email Jim Bakker, Grant Jeffrey, Hal Lindsey and warn them.)
* Using cash or gold for food, fuel. and supplies (The forces of the one world dictator, The Antichrist, during the Tribulation will suspiciously find out that you aren't buying without The Mark.)
* Evironmental, Anti-Government, or Religious protests. (We are already into the Time of Jacob's Trouble. persecution is already taking effect.)
* Using TOR or Freenet anonymity.
* A customer or a resident that is not from a local area.
* Purchasing and possessing farm seeds, fertilizers and pesticides that is not from Monsanto.
* Making money orders. (Again, Payments must be paid with The Mark of the Beast).
* Vehicles parked or left abandoned for a extremely long time
* Taking photographs or recording a video to be put on YouTube.
* Possessing ammunition and lifetime supply of Food, water, flashlights, bibles, candles and radio.
* Leave the hotel room for Several days and return.
* Using the back and side doors other than the front door of the lobby.
* Reading religious literature including The Bible.
* Download and reading religious content.
* Communicating with walkie talkies in malls, theme parks, shopping centers, etc.
* Sketching things and exposing things of the New world order.
* Using residential email providers (Comcast, AOL, etc.)
And the list goes on and on.
Ever since the violent Occupy protest and the Anonymous hacking war, I don't take their side. By the way, I am no way affiliated with the hacking group. I am a spiritual pacifist. I follow The Lord's side. Anonymous hacking group are no friends of Jesus. They're not Christian. When Jesus was confronted by the Sanhedrin, He did nothing and was persecuted. We as followers of Christ are not to be involved with violent protests. Must follow the Lord and keep His commandments and be faithful unto Him.
Time is at hand. The Time of Jacob's Trouble is at hand. The Harpazo/Rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus is at hand.
This is why Satan is doing this.
Jesus warns us we will be hated because of Him. (Luke 21:17, Mark 13:13)
And it's already happening as the TSA has detained Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. This is violation of Article 1, section 6 of the Constitution.
Apparently, I said long ago in my previous entry, America is spiritually drunk with the blood of the saints.
All I ask you, brother and sisters:
REPENT and COME OUT, SAITH THE LORD.
What you need to do is study the Word of God, and be faithful until the point we must die as martyrs for Jesus. For we will be given the Crown of life to lay at the feet of Christ. We may hear the "Come up hither" soon.
Even so, come Lord Jesus. Amen.
God bless and God be with you.

Well well well, finally a blockbuster. A screamer. A MUST-WATCH!! James Cameron made another spectacular movie that hopfully, breaks Titanic's record.
Sam Worthington, the Terminator hunk, portrays Jake Sully, an ex-marine, is paralzyed waist down from wounds sustained in combat. He is selected to participate in the Avatar program as his identical twin brother Tom was killed. Arriving from Earth to Pandora in a six year journey, Jake awakes from cryosleep to the planet which is rich in unobtainium.
Avatar, is defined as a character, or someone you portrayed in another world or dimension, be it a game or etc. So the Avatar program is some sort like a creation of a character which resembles the natives in the Pandora, which is known as the Na'vi and combining it with human genome that enables a human to control it by channeling their thoughts. He however, must be asleep in his real body. Another reason of the usage of the Avatar is human race are unable to breathe in the planet of Pandora.
1st, break the gross record. Then, it's on to the Oscars!!!

Boys of twenties, nearly men
Played on a patchy field with sand
Yet they find it oh so grand
As if playing for supporters at the stands
Legs that weren't as sharp as they were
Speed of running not that sheer
Yet these we consider mere
Cos everyone, every friend is here
Goals weren't the utmost target
It is the time we could never forget
It is the teamwork with each team mate
And the errors and jokes together we made
There were times when the sky pour down
Made the pitch murky muddy brown
Yet it did not made us frown
Yet it did not made us frown
As mud on us felt like king with a crown
I always miss the time that I played football during Holidays with my brothers at Esplanade. It is that special feeling that I will treasure and hope for more every coming holiday...

Hamlin's longtime girlfriend, Jordan Fish, tweeted just before the "Great American Race" that their first child, 4-year-old daughter Taylor, soon will have a brother or sister.
Fish tweeted a photo of Taylor wearing a "Big Sister In Training" shirt that told the whole story.
Earnhardt and Reimann had dated since 2009 and got engaged in June 2015 while on vacation in Germany.
Reimann changed her last name to Earnhardt on Twitter, writing with a sense of humor: "I sure wish my husband would wake up!
Hamlin began his racing career in 1988, at the age of 7 years old, racing go-karts. He then progressed to the Grand Stock division in 1998, and moved on to Late Model Stock Cars in 2000.
This was a blog based on one woman's thoughts, opinions and experiences involving NASCAR and Indy Car.
He currently competes full-time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No.
Looking forward to the rest of our lives @Amy_Reimann.
No matter, because just by earning a playoff berth Almirola and the entire Richard Petty Motorsports operation achieved a great deal.
That Almirola got into the Chase came via a career-first victory in the summer race at Daytona International Speedway.
I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with Denny Hamlin's girlfriend, Jordan Fish. He's really goofy and really funny and we laugh all the time. We went back to his house to get my car so I could go home. He didn't kiss me, he hugged me and I just thought "Oh my God." He texted me later and was like "That hug was amazing" and so I think he felt it too.
Jordan met Denny when she was a dancer for the Charlotte Bobcats five years ago and since then their relationship has grown to the point where they're now ready to welcome their first child — a girl — into the world later this month. I had a blast talking with her about her life with Denny and learning more about who she is as a person. There were other sweet things that he had done for me.
A win also made special because it was the first for the popular No.

ADVISERS to FirstGroup were busy trying to drum up support for the transport company's shares yesterday, ahead of the closing of the company's £600m rights issue next week.
As things stand there is a growing possibility that some of the issue will be left with the underwriters. The issue is fully underwritten.
Yesterday's fall has left the share price just 7p ahead of the 85p rights price, whereas bankers had expected it to hover around 100p.
Sentiment was not helped yesterday by a note from UBS saying there was "limited confidence in management targets."
Nomura has been more favourable, preferring FirstGroup to its rival National Express.

Results of the environmental update of GT-750-6 ("Nevsky Zavod", 6 MW), KWU VR-438 ("Siemens", 10 MW), MS-3002 ("General Electric", 10 MW) gas-turbine unit combustors were examined. On the basis of some specific features of design and operating process in the combustors, original engineering approaches of their update using a technique of localized air blow into the fire space extreme temperature zones were developed. The technique was demonstrated to be effective for a variety of combustors. Using the technique, one needs no considerable changes of the combustor design. The fuel system and gas turbine plant automatic control and governing systems remain virtually intact.

Eastbourne District General and the Conquest hospitals 'fully compliant'
Two hospitals in Sussex have been deemed "fully compliant", two years after inspectors found patients were being put at risk because there were too few staff.
In 2011 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) criticised services in A&E and maternity and on wards at Eastbourne and the Conquest, in Hastings.
Their latest report said the hospitals had now met essential standards.
The trust said it was pleasing to see the improvements recognised.
'Continually improving'
CQC published its latest report following unannounced visits to the hospitals by inspectors last month.
The aim of the visit was to check whether they had taken action to meet essential standards in the management of medicines, and assessing and monitoring the quality of service provision.
"We found that systems were in place for the safe management of medication," the report said.
"Quality monitoring systems were embedded and effective in providing information about the operational quality of patient services across the trust."
Darren Grayson, chief executive of East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, said: "Although we have achieved our goal and become fully compliant it is not a time to become complacent.
"We are committed to continually improving the quality of care and outcomes for patients and aim to get every aspect of care right for all our patients all of the time."

Year: 2011
Genre: Punk Rock/Folk Rock
Label: Unknown
Tracks: 8
Length: 32 Minutes
My Rating: 7/8
DAMN, I was pissed-off, earlier today... ever have that feeling that all your friends are just a bunch of fucking fakers and that they secretly have no care or respect for you and that they couldn't give a rat's ass about you? Well, that's how I feel... but I don't feel as bad right now. But I'm really sick of people ignoring me all the time, I do not like it.
Anyways, this is Diehatzu Hijets's first full album, with eight songs on it. It will be officially released at the end of this month on March 30, but you can listen to the songs on the Diehatzu Hijets BandCamp website. There will be an album release show on March 30...
This album was recorded by Layne L'Heureux (vocals/guitar) only, and it was recorded throughout 2010... the production is a lot more polished than the first E.P., and the songs are getting less simplistic. Most of the songs on here are really good, and at the end there are two songs that are just acoustic guitar and singing. It even has a kool cover-art, isn't that JUST GREAT??? Anyways, I feel really shitty today, but I'm still going to make an effort to write my review of this...
1. Where You At?
"Where you at?"... that's a question that gets frequently un-answered BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DOUCHEBAGS THAT NEVER ANSWER YOUR FUCKING PHONE CALLS!! Ahem. The song starts off soft and mellow (Mello-Yello) and then explodes into a louder song with an electrifying lead guitar solo and a droopy guitar sound and a drum beat and all of that stuff. The guitar has a really warm sound in the chorus. There's actually two guitars. There's lead guitar going on over the rhythm guitar. After the loud parts, there's a slower, psychedelic-type of part, and then the song returns to soft-acoustic mode with some cool sound effects. I like how there's two guitars still. Well-crafted song... just as much a soundscape as a song. Pretty long song.
2. Falling Apart
This one starts off really folk-sounding... like, the way the guitar melodies sound... quickly, a buzzing hot electric guitar riff ignites over the other sounds. The chorus is pretty catchy. Or at least good. The song is really nice. There's a lot of cool parts to this song, like the acoustic guitar sound. Pretty awesome n' stuff.
3. Find Me
This one's more fast and upbeat. The riff is pretty good. More acoustic/electric guitar combos... I like that. PSYCHOMINDBABBLE. YAEY FOR THAT. The part at the very end is awesome... I like the one stroke of an acoustic guitar chord at the very end.
4. Bro
Starts out with a watery-sounding guitar melody... Layne sings, "BE MY BRO 'TILL TIME GROWS OLD"... having friends is nice when they aren't douchebags who betray you and lie to you. In the chorus, the guitar sound gets real grungy and fuzzed-out. Then after that, there's a guitar solo... the part after that sounds really euphoric and awesome... a fuzzy yet wet (whether or not this is comparable to a vagina is debatable) guitar sound, and it sounds really great. I like this song a lot! But don't actually kill your mom... killin' yer mom's bad, mm'kay? The softer guitar in the background is awesome. I love this song.
5. Fizz Out
People are huge douchebags. They act like your friends and act like they want to be your friends and then when you try to get together with them or even talk to them they just ignore you because they're all a bunch of lying self-serving fakers who can get away with it because they surround themselves with equally assholish people they've known since the age of five. Oh, you wanted to know what I thought of this song? I like the opening part... it's kind of slow and laid back. "MY BRAIN BEGAN TO OOOOOZE...." OOOOOOZEEEE.... OOOOOZEEEE... THEN IT FIZZED RIGHT OUT... it's really emotional and beautiful. I like the solo that starts around a minute and a half in the song. Really great. The lyrics are amazing... the "IF YOU'RE WAITING ON FIRE" part is the best... the guitar melody and harmonies and everything are fucking AMAZING. I love this song and band... you can start to hear a bunch of buzzing furious lead guitar fade in from the very background... the vocals are great. This song sounds amazing.
6. Cut Yourself Free
This song is great from the very start. The guitar melody at the beginning is beautiful. In the chorus, there's the lyrics "WHERE DOES IT BLEED?" accompanied by really loud noisy instrumentation divided by a quiet two-note interlude before repeating several times... the next part kind of ascends and stuff. Two-note bass ascension? I dunno. It gets louder and noisier as it goes on. Amazing lead guitar stuff going on in the background. After this is an amazing lead guitar solo... I love it. This is the last "band" song of the album... now for two acoustic songs.
7. Stay
Just Mister L'Heureux and an acoustic guitar. From the moment it starts, you can tell that it's amazing. Kind of sad feel to it. The chorus of the song has a great humming chorus in the background that goes awesomely with that part of the song. "Bag of shit, jar of piss". That's how I'm feeling right now, buddy. After this part of the song is a bridge section with a solo. This song's a bit more repetitive than the other songs on this album... the last part is the chorus repeated.
8. O Me
This was also on the "Farmer Automatic" E.P. from June... it's an acoustic song about getting back up on your feet and trying to find a way out of the darkness... the riff is amazing... the whole song is great. Pure emotion, just like about every other tune on this album. I probably said a lot more stuff about this song on my other review of it... but to put things simply, I like it a lot. It's good. And stuff. The part at the very end of the song with the guitar is awesome. The end!
Diehatzu Hijets will be playing at the Wunderbar on March 30! So get STRAPPED FOR CASH FOR YOUR LIVES or something similar like that. The album is pretty loud but melodic at almost every turn, and really emotional too. And it's nice how it closes off with two more mellow acoustic songs... really reminds me of weekends out here in the middle of nowhere. Anyways, it's real good, and there is only more Diehatzu Hijets stuff coming your way... the band seems to have endless ideas! Also, stay tuned for the split album n' stuff. That should be released soon as well. It amazes me how many songs Layne has written in such a short amount of time... anyways, you should check aut this album because it's really good... you can buy it for $5 on the diehatzuhijets.bandcamp.com site... it's good music for when you're feeling low... it just fucking bleeds... amazing guitar riffs and melodies at about every turn. That's all I've got to say for now. BYE BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skip to comments.Rand Paul: I Dont Think Obama Will Kill Americans
Posted on 03/06/2013 2:43:22 PM PST by Responsibility2nd
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), filibustering John Brennan's nomination to lead the CIA on Wednesday in objection to the Obama administration's policy on targeted drone killing, ceded that President Obama personally was not the issue.
"I frankly don't think he'll be killing people in their homes tonight," Paul said.
At stake, Paul explained, was the prospect of unchecked power afforded to the executive branch if clear rules governing lethal force within the United States are not established.
yes indeedie.
the fact the the American people are even worried that their government will soon attack them with military tanks and over billion combat-type bullets (not to mention drones in the skies)
just the fact that America has been made to worry about its "government gone wild"
is itself an extremely serious problem indicative of the type of failed leadership we have in most of our politicians today
Obama won't kill any Americans. He'll make someone else do it so he doesn't take any blame.
at the very heart of this issue is an implied question; do I trust this government to do what is right and good for me, my family and this country? Rand Paul is asking it and by any American having to ask that question, in and of itself provides the answer.
What they all must realize now is they need to ALL come forward and be brazen and vocal. He can't kill them all.
Right now, Woodward, paul and Cruz need to be very careful.
And I wish I was just paranoid.
And neither would Clinton. Janet Reno on the other hand...
Now about Eric Holder or Janet Napalitano...
Obama would have killed the Hutaree rather than risk them all being acquitted.
He most certainly has killed Americans. The biggest danger I see is these pansyassed PC politicians underestimating the guile of the Zero.
Obama assassinate US citizens in this country? Nawwww... really?
If the Brown Clown kills AMERICANS on American soil he better brush up on the Bible verse of " An Eye For An Eye"
That's what this is. The rest doesn't matter. The title of "Terrorist" will be his and his alone to give.
That's a pretty scary thought. That's how far America has fallen.
The left supports a dictatorial drone program - for now. If the economy can hold out until 2016 and we take the presidency with, say, a outspoken TEA Party member, will they still feel the same? Would they still feel secure in their homes?
I have no doubt that Obama will target people on his enemies list as soon as he can.
"Who will rid me of this turbulent Priest?!?!"
And Rand moves one more place toword GOPe... Punk.
Not one word about the filibuster or the drone strike situation. The MSM is going to ignore this just like everything else that might cast the President in an unfavorable light.
So if we have "clear rules" the Executive can murder people without due process?
From the filibuster:
Paraphrased slightly: "The point is the president should come forward and explain his position.
Whether or not we believe in America that there are some rights in America we are not giving up on.
It's about constitutional principles that we should not give up on.
We need to fight for something that is classicly American. Our individual rights. To be tried on a court by our peers." ~ Senator Rand Paul
Tell that to Young, Bland and Spencer of the Trinity church, Harris and a little kid in Jakarta.
And now they're talking about it.
And they're giving a pretty balanced report. Another accomplishment for Senator Paul.
And then he can claim he didn't know anything about it.

The huge volcano under Yellowstone National Park has been rising at an unprecedented rate during the past several years, according to a new study.
In the ancient past, the Yellowstone volcano produced some of the biggest-known continental eruptions, but the recent rising doesnt mean another doomsday eruption is looming, scientists say.
The recent rising is unprecedented for Yellowstones caldera the cauldron-shaped part of the volcano but its not uncommon for other volcanoes around the world. The new study has simply revealed a more active caldera at Yellowstone than scientists realized.
Its pretty exciting when you see something thats five times larger than what youve seen in the past, said Charles Meertens, director of the nonprofit UNAVCO facility in Boulder, Colo., which aids geoscience research. Meertens is a former postdoctoral fellow under one of the studys authors, Robert Smith of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
