Brad Blakeman says 90% of farm bill goes to food stamps
The expiration of a piece of the 2009 federal stimulus bill means a $5 billion cut this month to the federal food stamp program, called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
That has some lawmakers scrambling to restore the funding, and others fighting to stop it.
Count pundit and former George W. Bush aide Brad Blakeman among those who wants to see the cut stand.
Appearing on Fox News Channel, Blakeman criticized efforts to restore food stamp funding as part of an agriculture bill.
"When is a farm bill not a farm bill? When 90 percent of it is for food stamps," Blakeman said.
In this fact-check, we look at whether food stamps, now called SNAP, really amountsto such a large share of spending in the farm bill.
Blakeman referred us to data from the U.S. Agriculture Department that shows average yearly participation in SNAP and total federal spending rising every year since 2007. Back then, about 26 million people relied on the program. Today, the number is closer to 47 million. Spending in 2012 reached about $75 billion. Blakeman also sent a link to a Reuters news article that estimated that about two thirds of the farm bill went to nutrition programs.
Blakeman told PunditFact his point was that while the farm bill might sound like it deals with agriculture, it largely funds an entitlement program.
He's largely right. Let us explain.
A bit about the farm bill
The farm bill is second only to the weather in shaping agriculture in the United States. It determines how many billions of dollars will flow to farmers and companies that grow and distribute basic crops such as corn, wheat, sugar and soy beans. It touches subsidies, crop insurance, land conservation, organic agriculture and rural development.
But it also serves as the mechanism by which low-income Americans receive nutrition assistance.
The Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan analytic arm of Congress, estimated the 10-year cost for the Senate farm bill at $955 billion and the House version at $921 billion.
The nutrition component, according to the CBO, is 80 percent in the Senate and 79 percent in the House. That's close, but a little short of the figure Blakeman used on Fox News.

Commodities |
4% |

The House in particular has had a difficult time achieving consensus on farm policy. Hard-line conservatives have wanted deeper cuts in subsidies to producers and SNAP. Liberals have objected to the many ways that the Republican plan would make SNAP less generous and make it harder to qualify for benefits. The House and Senate are now hammering out a version both bodies can pass. Funding for SNAP remains a significant dividing point.
Dottie Rosenbaum, a senior analyst with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, notes that regardless of congressional action, SNAP spending is projected to decline as the economy improves.
"The reason spending went up is because the program did what it's supposed to do," Rosenbaum said. "When people lose their jobs, they need more help."
The Congressional Budget Office says that with no change in the law, the number of recipients could be about 35 million by 2022. That is less than the 47 million people today, about half of whom are children, but still more than the total in 2007.
A final note: When we told Blakeman that 90 percent was too high, in large measure, he did not object.
"In the future I will say the "vast majority" or 80-plus percent," he said.
Our ruling
Blakeman said that 90 percent of the farm bill went to food stamps. The more accurate figure is 80 percent in the legislation currently under discussion in Congress. The 10 percentage points difference doesn't change Blakeman's essential point, but it is enough to bring our rating down a notch.
We rate the claim Mostly True.

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh G4561 and bones, as ye see me have. |
Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, G4561 nor of the will of man, but of God. |

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: G4561 |

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: G4561 for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. |
For when we were in the flesh, G4561 the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. |
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) G4561 dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. |

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, G4561 but after the Spirit. |
For to be carnally G4561 minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. |
Because the carnal G4561 mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. |
So then they that are in the flesh G4561 cannot please God. |
But ye are not in the flesh, G4561 but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. |

2008 Jaguar S-Type Review
This car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.On its ninth life, but never better.
The 2008 model year will be the last for the Jaguar S-Type. Its replacement, the sharper-edged, more contemporary-looking XF, has arrived. So if the rounded, retro lines of the S-Type have oozed into your heart, this is your last chance to bring one home brand-new. You could buy another mid-size luxury sedan with similar performance, but you won't find another that looks anything like this. And that, really, is the point of any Jaguar: If you are charmed by its looks, then there is no alternative.
But even from a more objective point of view, we like the Jaguar S-Type. It's a comfortable car, it handles well, and it makes a statement when it pulls up to a five-star hotel. The base 3.0-liter V6 delivers responsive performance, thanks partly to the superb six-speed automatic transmission. Opt for the 4.2 model and you get thrilling performance from its powerful V8 engine. If that isn't enough, you can spring for the high-performance S-Type R, which boasts a supercharged engine, adaptive sports suspension, and bigger front brakes.
Jaguar is marking the S-Type's departure with some final styling changes. All 2008 S-Types will wear the more conspicuously racy three-scoop front bumper that formerly belonged exclusively to the super-performance S-Type R. Eighteen-inch wheels have also been made standard; and 19's are now optional on base V6 and V8 models, and standard on the R. Additionally, the final 750 S-Types produced will be specially equipped Satin Editions, with distinctive interior trim and exterior colors.
We'll miss the S-Type which, in its ten year life span improved in some way almost every year. Even when it was launched in 1999 we praised its beautiful exterior and rich interior, and enthused over its sporty handling. Jaguar re-engineered the S-Type for 2003, and again revamped its styling for 2005, when the wonderful ZF six-speed automatic transmission became standard across the range. Additional refinements arrived with the 2006 models: The premium-level 4.2 liter V8 was re-tuned just slightly to deliver a nicely even 300 and 400 horsepower in its naturally aspirated and supercharged forms, respectively. At the same time, both the base 3.0-liter V6 and the atmospheric V8 achieved ULEV emissions status. And a new Conti-Teves braking system promised even more stopping power. Last year, 2007, saw significant upgrades in standard equipment.
Jaguar offers three S-Type models for 2008, distinguished primarily by their engines. Each comes with rich leather upholstery and all the other features associated with a premium luxury car. All come with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The S-Type 3.0 ($48,335) is powered by a 235-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. Standard equipment also includes automatic dual-zone climate control; one-touch tilt-and-slide power glass sunroof; 140-watt AM/FM/CD stereo; burl walnut interior trim; leather seats with contrasting piping; heated front seats with multiple power adjustments for the driver and passenger; power adjustable wood-and-leather steering wheel; power-adjustable pedals; memory system for seat, pedals, outside mirrors and steering column; split folding rear seat; power windows; remote central locking; electrochromic mirrors inside and out; rain-sensing windshield wipers; Reverse Park Control; programmable garage-door opener; and, new for 2008, 18-inch alloy wheels. Nineteen-inch wheels are optional ($1200).
The S-Type 4.2 ($55,835) comes with a powerful, 300-horsepower 4.2-liter V8, plus a 320-watt Alpine premium stereo with six-CD changer; DVD-based satellite navigation; Bluetooth connectivity; xenon headlamps with automatic leveling; Front Park Control; additional seat adjustability; burl walnut gear selector knob; electric rear sunblind; and foot well rugs embroidered with the Jaguar logo. Standard wheels are still 18-inch but are of a different design, and 19-inch rims are again optional.
The high-performance S-Type R ($64,335) gets a 400-horsepower supercharged version of the same 4.2-liter V8 and most (but not all) of the standard 4.2's amenities. Chassis upgrades include Jaguar's enhanced Computer Active Suspension (eCATS), bigger brake discs up front, and new 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside are performance-style seats, a ski hatch in the rear seat, and new Satin Mahogany woodwork replacing last year's gray-stained bird's-eye maple. The shift knob is leather-covered and there's no wood on the steering wheel. Stainless exhaust tips, a trunk lid spoiler, and the deletion of some exterior brightwork alert the outside world to your intentions.
A Luxury Package ($3,000), exclusively for the R-model, adds Adaptive Cruise Control and reverts to a more traditional walnut-burl interior theme. It also adds soft-grain leather with contrasting piping, and includes an electric rear sunblind and premium foot well rugs; and restores bright exterior trim to the bumper blades, grille surround, mirror caps, and side window frames.
Optional across the range is Sirius Satellite Radio ($450). 3.0-liter models can be upgraded with a Navigation/Bluetooth Package ($2,800), auto-leveling xenon headlamps ($675), and Front Park Control ($250). Adaptive Cruise Control is offered as a stand-alone ($2,200) on the R. Special-order paint and trim ($1,000) are available for any S-Type.
The final run of 750 3.0 and 4.2 models will be Satin Editions, with matt-finish Satin Mahogany veneers in the dash and doors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a chrome-and-leather shift knob. Five exterior colors will be offered (Ebony, Liquid Silver, Lunar Grey, Radiance, and Porcelain) with a choice of Champagne/Mocha or Charcoal/Charcoal interior trim.
For safety, all S-Types come with Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with traction control; Emergency Brake Assist (EBA); frontal, seat-mounted side-impact, and side-curtain airbags; and Jaguar's Adaptive Restraint Technology System (ARTS) which uses ultrasound (in addition to the usual sensors) to collect data on the size and position of front-seat occupants before deploying the airbags with appropriate force.
At a glance, the 2008 S-Type still looks much the same as it did when it was introduced in 1999, as an intentionally retro tribute to some of the best-loved Jaguars of the past: specifically the 1956 'compact saloon' that became the wider-tracked, bigger-windowed Mark II in 1960 and, ultimately, the longer-tailed, all-independent-suspension S-Type of 1963.
Ironically, or perhaps appropriately, the current S-Type has evolved almost as thoroughly in its ten years on the market. Jaguar substantially re-styled the S-Type for 2005, giving it a sharper, cleaner, more assertive face, with a more sharply defined V-shaped bulge in its hood. At the same time, the S-type acquired a longer, leaner look down the side with better integrated door sills. Around back, its distinctive round tail lamps provided a more technical, jewel-like appearance and blended smoothly into the new curves of the tail. The wider rear trunk finisher was simplified, running the full width between the new rear lamps. Jaguar claims the subtly re-shaped trunk reduced both lift and drag.
A trend began in '06 when the chrome mesh grille previously seen only on the high-performance R-model became standard across the lineup. Now, for 2008, the R-model's more deeply sculpted front bumper has been applied to entire line as well. It features three sharply defined scoops in place of the single, wide-oval opening of the previous bumper. Base-level 3.0 and 4.2 models will, however, keep their bright bumper and grille trim, all of which turns body color on the R. Unless, of course, you order the Luxury Package, which decorates the R with base-level brightwork.
Both 3.0 and 4.2 upgrade to 18-inch wheels for 2008, but not the same 18-inch wheels. V6 S-Types get a 10-spoke pattern that Jaguar calls Triton, while base V8's get a five-spoke wheel called Vulcan. Optional on both, and standard on the R-model, is a new 19-inch wheel Jaguar calls Barcelona.
The S-Type's wipers feature an interesting washing system, with the washer jets incorporated into the wiper arms for better coverage. Lever-style door handles remain, which are aerodynamic but we find them harder to grab than the kind you slide your fingers through.
Body panels fit closely together. Overall, quality has improved dramatically in recent years. In 1989, Jaguar ranked at the bottom of the list in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, one rung above Yugo. By 2003 Jaguar had risen to third from the top, just below Lexus and Cadillac. In 2007 Jaguar still finished in the top eight in an increasingly competitive race, where that rating represents a much higher standard of quality than it did a decade ago.
All Jaguar S-Types come with rich leather upholstery, with contrasting piping on most models. Sumptuous leather is used on the surfaces of all seats and door panels. Burl walnut wood veneer is standard as well, with new matt-finish Satin Mahogany now serving as the more performance-oriented motif for the supercharged R-model. And even there, walnut can be substituted as part of the Luxury Package.
The standard wood-and-leather steering wheel looks and feels good; and it harmonizes visually with the colors of the instrument panel behind it. A well-designed toggle on the left side of the steering column quickly, easily and precisely controls the power tilt and telescopic adjustments for the steering wheel. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, with a nice firm seat bottom that minimizes fatigue on long trips.
There is a decent amount of space for rear-seat passengers. Rear legroom is on par with other similar sized cars.
The instrument pod contains just a fuel gauge and water temperature gauge besides the speedometer and tachometer. All told it is a pleasant design. Climate controls and sound system buttons are big, easy to discern and easy to operate.
Two glove boxes are provided in addition to the center console storage. Sunglasses can be stashed in an overhead console case lined with soft rubber. Dual cupholders are provided, but are mounted far enough to the rear as to be a bit awkward to reach while driving.
Trunk space is only average at 14.1 cubic feet, due to the curvy rear end. Old-fashioned swan-neck hinges intrude into the cargo space, but their advantage is that the trunk lid will conveniently pop up when opened. The rear seats can be folded down in a 60/40 split for 28.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
The electronically controlled parking brake is designed to work intuitively and will automatically release in certain circumstances: Switch on the parking brake with the car in Drive at an intersection and it switches off when you accelerate, handy when stopping for traffic lights on steep hills.
Driving Impression
Driving the Jaguar S-Type is satisfying, while the car imparts a feeling of class and sophistication to passengers.
The S-Type comes with a great transmission, perhaps the best available. The six-speed automatic ZF is extremely responsive and silky smooth. With so many gears to choose from, it offers excellent drivability around town. It delivers both good performance and decent fuel economy. A Sport mode allows the driver to shift manually. Select this mode and the transmission will not shift above the highest gear selected, though as needed it will shift down and back up below this gear. The transmission has two overdrive ratios. Sport mode stays in fifth unless the driver maintains a steady speed for 30 seconds. But most of the time we preferred to simply leave it in Drive and let it do its thing, as it does it so well. It's a smart transmission: lift off the throttle for a corner, and it senses the steering angle and holds the lower gear. It also holds a gear on hills, eliminating hunting between gears.
The 3.0-liter V6 engine is smooth and delivers plenty of power for most drivers. We found it offers good power for passing. Floor it at 50 mph in fifth gear and in a heartbeat the six-speed automatic smoothly downshifts to second, without lurching, and the engine surges to 5500 rpm. Jaguar says the S-Type 3.0 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. The V6 was smooth and civilized when cruising, and noise from the engine was isolated. Under hard acceleration, however, the sound it made reminded us that it's a Ford Duratec.
Even in the base model, we found cornering to be exceptional. The 3.0 felt a little squishy when driven hard on a winding road, but cornering was relatively flat (the car didn't lean a lot), and grip was very good. Factor in the Dynamic Stability Control, and it's hard to get into trouble.
The S-Type rides smoothly and is nicely damped, even if it is tuned more for handling than a soft ride. Driving through the Texas hill country outside Austin, the car jiggled a bit from side to side on bumpy rural roads, a little more than we would have liked. And you can hear the hiss of the tires. When asked about this, a spokesman said Jaguar does not build Buicks.
The 4.2-liter V8 engine delivers truly spirited performance with strong low-rpm torque for quicker acceleration. Jaguar says the S-Type 4.2 can accelerate form 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, which is quite quick. The 4.2 feels relaxed and responsive around town and cruising on the highway, but delivers spirited performance when driving quickly on back roads. The 4.2 V8 generates 86 percent of its maximum torque at just 1500 rpm for greater flexibility around town. This is a very strong car by any measure.
The 4.2 offers a firm ride. There is some road vibration on badly rippled roads, but it smoothes out on better surfaces. The 4.2 is also quiet, with some wind noise at high speeds. It's stable at high speeds with precise, linear steering that makes the driver feel part of the car. Handling is firm without being too harsh. The S-Type is not as stiff as the BMW 5 Series. It is the type of car that inspires confidence for those who enjoy driving without being a chore for those who do not. It felt wonderful when driving hard on narrow, winding roads. In short, it's a wonderful automobile, very pleasant.
The S-Type R offers fantastic acceleration performance. Jaguar says it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. We could clearly hear the whine from supercharger when hard on the gas. Hot rodders would love it, but we wonder whether it would become tiresome. Positive-displacement superchargers deliver better low-end torque and a more linear response than centrifugal superchargers or turbochargers, and the R model offers significantly more torque than the normally aspirated 4.2. It's very responsive at low speeds as well as when being driven hard.
It may be in its final year, but the sensuous-looking Jaguar S-Type still makes a statement when it rolls onto the scene. It combines that visual impact with a luxurious, crafted interior in understated British fashion. The S-Type cars are effortless to drive with a relaxed, refined ride. They offer cutting-edge technology that's relevant and free of gadgetry.
The S-Type is a compelling alternative to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The Jaguar is less expensive and more than holds its own in curb appeal, performance and features. We really like the basic 3.0 and love the 4.2 with its powerful V8.

Jaguar S-Type 3.0 liter ($48,335).The Jaguar S-Type makes a statement with its luxuriously crafted interior, effortless drive and relaxed and refined ride. The S-Type is a midsize four-door luxury sedan. It comes in three rear-wheel drive models: 3.0, V8, and R. The 3.0 is powered by a 235 hp 3.0-liter V6 engine. The V8 is powered by a 300 hp 4.2-liter V8 engine. The R is powered by a 400 hp supercharged 4.2-liter engine. All the models use the same six-speed automatic transmission. Safety features include antilock brakes, traction control, stability control, and six airbags throughout the cabin. For 2008, the Jaguar S-Type receives minor cosmetic changes.

Michie, S. (2009). Pride and Gratitude: How Positive Emotions Influence the Prosocial Behaviors of Organizational Leaders. Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies, 15 (4): 393-403.
Abstract: This study investigated whether two positive morally relevant emotions, pride and gratitude, were associated with the prosocial behaviors exhibited by organizational leaders. Pride and gratitude were measured as dispositional tendencies in leaders across various types of organizations. The results revealed that a leader's propensity to experience authentic pride was positively related to two types of prosocial behavior—social justice and altruism. Furthermore, the results indicated that leader gratitude mediated the effects of pridefulness on social justice behaviors.

64bit Live installed to 32bit of PC, possible?
Dear Live users;
I've tried to search for similar question but somehow couldn't find it.
Is it possible to use 64bit version of Live in a 32bit of PC?
Question #2, if I plan to change my PC, can my Live be installed for the second time in another PC?
Thank you in advance

It is also no problem to have Live installed and authorized on two computer at the same time, as long as you are not planning on using them simultaneously.

3 votes received3 votesIn the Windows-PC-World it is not possible to run 64bit processes (i.e. Ableton Live 64bit) on a 32bit kernel.
On a Mac this is different. The 32bit Mach-kernel is either able to run 64bit processes (i.e. Ableton Live 64bit) and able to use more than 4GB memory.

I am just not sure because I have never tried it.
However, this webpage may dispel some other doubts you are having:
As far as your first question, I have never tried it, but a trusty friend of mine has claimed to have run Ableton Live 9 Suite 64 bit in his 32 bit operating system. (snow leopard) However, he is running Snow Leopard 10.8.4 or 5 I think and he also now boots into 64 bit mode. Which is an available option for those people with updated firmware as outlined here:
Ableton will probably be best suited to answer this question since they have probably tested on many a computer even before their official release.

Submission + - Vatican Says Life on Mars Plausible (bbc.co.uk)
An anonymous reader writes: According to BBC, the director of the Vatican Observatory stated in an article titled "Aliens Are My Brother" that intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space. "The search for forms of extraterrestrial life does not contradict belief in God. — Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God." Mind that this is not the same director who said that evolution is more than a mere theory — he was Father Coyne.
I myself agree. There might be intelligent beings created by God in outer space even if there are none here on earth.

Cut-price return fares, including Minneapolis to London for dollars 448 and Boston to Paris for dollars 398, were scheduled to end on New Year's Eve. But the 14-day advance purchase tickets will now be sold until mid-March for travel originating in the US during the first quarter.
A spokesman for American Airlines said yesterday that the carrier was studying the Northwest move in order to decide whether to cut its own fares for the first quarter, which is usually a slow travel season. American had matched the previous Northwest promotion, which is due to end on Thursday.
Northwest's US rivals had been hoping to see an end to fare wars after a disastrous 1992 that included a half-price promotion during the traditionally busy summer season.
In a recent report the Salomon Brothers brokerage commented that, judged in aggregate, the US airline industry is bankrupt, adding that 'if the industry were a savings and loan association the government would have seized it and liquidated it'.
Salomon said consumers were now addicted to low fares and were likely to postpone bookings in anticipation of fare wars.

home > boy names > luke
[ 1 syll. lu-ke, luk-e ] The baby boy name Luke is also used as a girl name, but it is much more common for boys. It is pronounced in English as LUWK †. Luke is used predominantly in the Latin and English languages, and its origin is Latin and Old Greek. Old Greek origin, English and Latin use: A biblical name, it is derived from the element 'leucos' which means bright, white. The first name is also from the short form of Lucas (Latin), a Latinate of Loukas (Old Greek); the latter means 'man from Lucania' in reference to an ancient district of southern Italy. The first name was borne in the Bible by Luke the Evangelist, companion of Paul and author of the third gospel in the New Testament. The name was introduced by the Normans into England in the 12th century.
Luke is a variant (Latin) of the name Lucius (English, German, and French).
The name Luke is used to a great extent; it has 36 variants that are used in English and other languages. Variants used in English include Lucan, Lucas (also used in Dutch, French, Portuguese, and Spanish), Lucc, Lucian, Lucien (also used in French), Lucius (also used in French and German), Luck, Luk, Luka (also used in Italian and Russian), Lukas (also used in Czech, German, Greek, Irish, and Scandinavian), Luken, Lukes, Lukie, and Lukus. The diminutive form Lucky is another English variant.
Foreign variants of Luke include Lluc (Catalan), Lluch (Catalan), Loek (Dutch), Loukas (Greek), Luc (French), Luca (Italian), Luce (French), Luchok (Russian), Lucio (Portuguese and Spanish), Lukacs (Hungarian), Lukash (Russian), Lukasha (Russian), Lukass (Latvian), Lukasz (Polish), Lukács (Hungarian), Lukás (Czech), Lukyan (Russian), Lusio (Zuni), Luuk (Dutch), Lùcas (Scottish), and Lúcás (Irish).
See also the related form, Lucano (Italian).
Luke is very popular as a baby name for boys, and it is also viewed as trendy. The name's popularity has been growing since the 1940s. Its usage peaked recently in 2014 with 0.514% of baby boys being given the name Luke. It ranked at #28 then. In 2015, its usage was 0.504% and its ranking #28, and it was the 2nd most popular after Lucas, among all boy names in its group. In 2015, it was used 20% more than Luke.

ReplyDeleteI lost my pokopet voucher when I got it Arg How did that happen? I clicked on woody 3 times and it didnt work then I tried it a 4th time and it said no pokopet voucher WTH!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that there should be some kinds of clothes for nonmembers. I mean, it gets kind of boring for us nonmembers when we have to wear the same clothes every time! (Besides on membership day.) There should be some kind of Garage Sale that even if your not a member, you can keep the clothes! So, if you want to make nonmembers happy, I think you should give them some privileges!

Can managers perform root cause analysis before product launch?

quality projects. You identified several possible root causes for failure, but said that they all ultimately stem from a product that doesn't allow users to realize its value. Can you explain what you mean by this?
That presentation discusses how to perform a mental experiment designed to stimulate some critical thinking. Instead of thinking about what should be added to the product, imagine that, in the future, the product has already launched (and failed). Then perform a hypothetical root cause analysis to try and understand why it failed.
The strategy that I've found to guide the best product decisions is for product managers to think about what problems customers are trying to solve and then decide how the product can best help them solve those problems. Your product is not "the solution;" it is just one tool that they can use, and they have alternatives.
For users to choose your product to solve their problems, they need to realize value, defined in terms of addressing those problems, from the product. When performing the hypothetical root cause analysis, a product manager will identify reasons that users might not realize a product's value, assess the risks of those reasons and address them in advance of a product launch, instead of afterwards. There are five categories for assessing why users don't realize value from a product:
- You did not target the right users. Specifically, you built capabilities into your product that some users might value, but not the capabilities the important-to-your-success users would value. Make sure the capabilities you plan to add are valuable to the users who actually solve the problems.
- You did not focus on the important goals. You know the important users, but do you know which problems they consider important to solve and which they consider less significant? Make sure that you are building the capabilities into your product that address the important problems, and ask yourself, should you really invest in solving the unimportant problems?
- You insufficiently addressed the user's needs. This can play out in two ways, either you only solve a portion of the important problems, or you solve the important problems incompletely. Make sure you understand how users define success, and make sure your product enables them to achieve it.
- You failed to account for user expertise. Users learn how to use your product. Initially, they have to invest (mentally) in learning how to use your product. They will quickly become competent, shifting their (mental) focus back to addressing their problems. Some users will become experts with higher expectations for how they might use your product to solve their problems. Make sure your product takes into account how the nuances of user's needs change as they gain expertise.
- You did not incorporate the context of usage. Many user goals are contextual -- they only apply at certain times, in specific physical environments or when using particular devices. Other user goals always apply, but are approached differently or have different success criteria in different contexts. Ignoring how user goals change with context is almost as bad as ignoring how the goals change from one user to another. Make sure you are explicit in the selection of contexts in which your users will be using your product to address their problems. Make sure the capabilities you build for your product are effective in those contexts.
One way to approach applying this thought process is to ask, "Who are my (product's) important users?" Mentally separate the people who definitely use the product from those who might use it, and specify the rationale for excluding certain groups. Ask yourself how you know you've selected the right users. If you aren't confident, figure out how to determine which users are the right ones, and explicitly identify why the other people are not target users. Extend this line of thinking to addressing the other potential root-causes of product failure.
The primary benefit of taking this approach is that it enables product managers to create a better product. A secondary benefit is that it enables more intentional and effective decision-making and promotes more effective communication with the rest of the development team and stakeholders. When someone wants to know why their "pet feature" is not on the roadmap, give them a clear and accurate answer. This approach works because imagining a future-- then deciding how to improve it -- exercises the brain differently, allowing managers to develop insights that fix existing oversights.
