Big Ed, Rob, Duke & Seth: Wild Day For the Coogs
by Ryan Monceaux/ March 6, 2018/ Baseball, Football/
On a day where men's golf and swimming were the only teams in action, it was an eventful day for UH Athletics. First day of spring football, Big Ed's big announcement, major recognition for basketball's leader, a sad announcement from another football player, and a predictable issue for a former Cougar baseball player.
Spring football began with players in shells (helmets & no pads) with basic skills and drills and implementing parts of the new offense. Major said the focus this season would be on ball security – something that should be the focus every season.
Ed Oliver told the world what we already knew: he's leaving after 2018. I don't recall a player ever coming out and saying that but the honesty is refreshing. I'm curious to see how the announcement influences everything from coaching decisions to how he is perceived in the national media. Worth keeping an eye on.
"I want to compete for the Heisman," Big Ed said. "There's a lot on my plate I want to achieve."
We've got your back, big man. #Ed4Heisman
In other football news, Duke Catalon retired from football citing personal reasons. This has been hinted at since December and shouldn't come as a surprise to the coaching staff. Duke suffered numerous concussions in his career and this is a sensible decision on his part. Good luck, Duke.
As expected, Rob Gray was named First-Team All-Conference for the 2nd year in a row. Rob was the team's pulse this season as the Coogs finished with a 24-6 regular-season record. Great accomplishment for a great Cougar.
Rob Gray is the first Cougar to be named back-to-back 1st-Team All-Conference since Aubrey Coleman did it in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. #GoCoogs pic.twitter.com/5SdpJhsZHI

And in news that should surprise no one, Seth Romero is in trouble again – much like his 3 years at UH. Seth acted like a punk most of his time here – he always thought the rules didn't apply to him. He was a bad teammate, selfish, and disliked in the clubhouse.
Seth was just an average talent until Frank Anderson turned him into a first-round pick. But once again, he's let his attitude get the best of him. In his first spring training as a pro, Romero was sent home by the Washington Nationals – almost unprecedented for a first-round pick.
Sources: Nationals first-round pick Seth Romero was sent home from spring training this morning. A club spokesman said Romero violated club policy. Unclear as to how long he will be gone or the specific policy violated.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) March 6, 2018
Romero was seen at the Sunday game vs Holy Cross before heading to Spring Training – just 2 weeks ago. ESPN reports he didn't violate MLB rules (read: pot) so he must have just acted like Seth again.

Dos Coogs on Clayton Tune & Offense Vs Memphis (Free)

Analyzing The 2018 Baseball Schedule
Things Started Going Well For The Coogs When…


The catch line for Bunkspeed's Hypershot 3D architectural rendering application is "Render Them Speechless… in minutes,… not hours." My first reaction was, "Too good to be true and good marketing team", but can they live up to their promises? The only way to find out is to download the 15 days trial, and I conclude – it's amazing!
The user interface is a little old school, now you can train a monkey as a 3d artist for peanuts!
Albeit the horrible and unfriendly user interface, I have to admit that Bunkspeed's Hypershot is fast, unlike other 3d model rendering applications such as AutoDesk 3d max, Artlantis R, and SketchUp Vray where one have to spend precious time adjusting the settings, Hypershot does this on the fly with its default pre-optimized settings to produce good results quickly (believe me, it is fast). What used to require daunting effort, time and expertise can now be done by anyone on your team. In minutes, not hours, or days.
The only drawback is the lack of control, but the beauty of it is the ability to produce fairly good results without much effort and time, after all, we are architects, not 3d artist. Overall HyperShot is a very good 3d rendering application, 3d computer rendering has never been so easy.
The million dollar question, did Bunkspeed managed to convert me into one of their user? No, Artlantis R will be my rendering tool for many more years to come though the rendering engine is not as good as max or vray. The old saying goes: "Master of all trade, jack of none." Better stick to one 3d rendering software than to have a little bit of knowledge in every 3d rendering applications available in the market.
For Google SketchUp user, good news. Bunkspeed wrote a plugin that integrates SketchUp and HyperShot by putting the "HyperShot" button directly into the menu of SketchUp. After installing SketchUp and HyperShot, simply install the plugin. The installer will take care of putting all the files into the right places.
I used it for Rhino, the renderings are pretty nice, on the fly is excellent but the finished renderings usually take about the same time once you get to the higher resolutions. Also interior shots are impossible to do, but the HDRI backgrounds are a nice touch and it is easier to set up perspectives with real images. Overall cool idea but the lack of textures and poor lighting makes it a very second place renderer compared with v-ray.
hi. great review. however, i think the saying goes "jack of all trades. master of none." i may be wrong but that makes more sense to me.

HomeNew Thinking--with Joe Bartuah -In U.S. Another Suspected Ebola Victims Escaped Hospital From Monitoring, As Victim Thomas Duncan's Health Fails
In U.S. Another Suspected Ebola Victims Escaped Hospital From Monitoring, As Victim Thomas Duncan's Health Fails
October 6, 2014 New Thinking--with Joe Bartuah -, United States 0
According to a U.S. based NBC News, authorities in Texas have found a missing homeless man who may have been exposed to the deadly Ebola virus, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said Sunday.
At a news conference earlier Sunday, Jenkins said authorities were searching for a "low-risk individual" who was a contact of the first U.S. Ebola patient, Thomas Eric Duncan. He said authorities had been "working to locate the individual and get him to a comfortable, compassionate place where we can monitor him and care for his every need for the full incubation period." He noted that the man "has not committed a crime."
The individual was last monitored on Saturday, but then went "missing," said Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Dr. Tom Frieden.
At the same news conference Sunday, Frieden said the CDC was being flooded with hundreds of calls every day about Ebola as doctors worked to treat Duncan at a Dallas hospital. He said they were receiving roughly 800 phone calls a day about Ebola — a sharp increase from about 50 a day.
But Frieden said he had "no doubt" the U.S. would stop Ebola "in its tracks" in Texas. He noted, however, that Duncan "has taken a turn for the worse." He was in critical condition Saturday, the hospital said.
Frieden also told reporters in a briefing that "as far as we understand," experimental medicine — which has helped other American Ebola patients — is not being used on Duncan.
Frieden said 114 people suspected of having had contact with Duncan were assessed by officials, who found that 66 of them did not. He said officials have identified 10 people who appeared to have had contact with Duncan — seven healthcare workers and three "family or community contacts." He added there were 38 other people officials "could not rule out," and that those people would be tracked for 21 days to see if they came down with fevers. "That is how we stopped every outbreak in the world with Ebola," Frieden said.
Texas has not had any additional cases of Ebola since Duncan's diagnosis, and nobody else has reported any symptoms of the virus, said Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Service. He added the state was "still very cautious to make sure we care for individuals and monitor the situation the way it needs to be done."
Earlier on Sunday, Frieden appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" and said "the drug pipeline is going to be slow." He said "The most promising drug, ZMapp — there's no more of it, and it's hard to make, it takes months to make just a bit."
He indicated that agencies were pursuing other avenues to fight the spread of Ebola, including multiple vaccines that are in the trial stage.


A dynamite field is lined up for this week's Travelers Championship at the TPC River Highlands course in Cromwell.
Three of the world's top players, the always entertaining Bubba Watson, "El Nino" Sergio Garcia, and Jason Day, who contended at last week's U.S Open, are scheduled to play, although Day battled vertigo at the Open and is doubtful he will play this week, as he continues to receive medical care. Other glamour player commitments include four-time Major winner Ernie Els, Patrick Reed, Zach Johnson, New England native Keegan Bradley, Billy Horschel, Brandt Snedeker, and Luke Donald.
Late commitment were received from Davis Love III, David Toms, Gary Woodland, 2006 champion J.J. Henry, 1997 and 2008 champion Stewart Cink, Tim Clark, Angel Cabrera, Vijay Singh, Bo Van Pelt, Lucas Glover, Morgan Hoffmann, and 2013 champion Ken Duke.
Kevin Streelman will also be on hand to defend his title. Streelman played spectacular golf his final two rounds to claim his second career PGA Tour victory at the 2014 Travelers Championship. Following a third round 64, Streelman entered the final round four strokes back of the leader.
After shooting one-over par 36 on the front nine, Streelman told his caddy that he needed to shoot 29 on the back nine to "make some noise." At that point, Streelman was tied for 20th, five strokes back of the leader. He was chasing proven PGA Tour winners and up-and-coming talent. Streelman then went on to play flawless golf on the back nine shooting a seven-under par 28 for a final round 64. He finished his round with seven consecutive birdies to win the tournament, breaking a PGA Tour record that dates back to 1956.
Based on the results of the recently concluded U.S. Open, the player field is subject to change. Four additional spots in this year's field will be filled by qualifying Monday at Crestview Country Club in Agawam, Ma.
LitchfieldCountySports.com will be on hand all week with staff coverage bringing the fans back home all the action and behind the scenes interviews with players.
Make sure to visit www.litchfieldcountysports.com each day for the latest on the biggest golf event of the year in Connecticut.
The tourney was founded in 1952 as the Insurance City Open and in 1967 it was renamed the Greater Hartford Open, a title that was retained through 2003. From 1973 to 1988, the GHO also bore the name of the late entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr., who would often play in the pro-ams and bring in some of his big-name friends, such as Bob Hope and Flip Wilson. Canon, the camera giant, was a title sponsor from 1985 to 2002, the car company Buick was title sponsor from 2004 to 2006, and The Travelers Companies, a Connecticut-based insurance provider, took over sponsorship in 2007.
The tournament was played for its first three decades at Wethersfield Country Club. In 1984, after the PGA Tour bought and redesigned Edgewood Country Club, the event moved to the new TPC of Connecticut in Cromwell. In 1991, the course was redesigned with a completely new back nine holes and renamed the TPC at River Highlands. The Cromwell facility was the third PGA Tour-owned/managed golf course in what would grow to a network of over 30 TPC clubs.
The purse for the first tournament, won by Ted Kroll, was $15,000. In 2006 tournament, under Buick's sponsorship, the purse grew to $4.4 million, with $792,000 going to the winner. From 2007 to 2010, the purse under Travelers' sponsorship was $6 million, with $1,080,000 going to the champion. It is up slightly this year to $6.4 million, with $1.152 million going to the winner.
The tournament has seen a who's who of professional golf claim the title over the years, from Arnold Palmer and Billy Casper to Greg Norman, Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson. Its position on the calendar has varied. In 2005 it was played in late August but in 2006 it was played in late June. Part of the FedEx Cup, the Travelers Championship has been played in late June, the week after the U.S. Open, ever since. The Travelers is one of the most attended events on the PGA Tour and the tournament set a record attendance in 2002 with nearly 400,000 fans for the week.
The Insurance City Open was founded by the Greater Hartford Jaycees as a means to raise funds to support their philanthropic causes. The Jaycees are international leadership development organization for men and women ages 21 and 40. In 1971, The Greater Hartford Jaycees Foundation, Inc. was established as a grant-giving entity by the Greater Hartford Jaycees, Inc. with the help of PGA pro Bob Murphy, who donated part of his winnings as 1970 Greater Hartford Open champion. The event raises almost a million dollars a year for local charities.
Tickets for the tournament may be purchased at the gate or online at www.TravelersChampionship.com.

World Indoor Championships: Paul wins silver at 400m behind Miller Uibo | sports
11 months ago Richard Powell
He won in 50.31 seconds, and Paul came in second with a time of 50.57 seconds. The bronze went to Jamaica's Stephanie-Ann McPherson with a time of 50.79. Leicky Claver finished sixth. I ran 52.67. Paul won his second Dutch medal at the World Indoor Championships. On Friday, Jessica Schilder won the bronze medal in the shot put.
Miller-Oibo took the lead from lane 6 after the first lap. The 27-year-old had a slight lead after the 200m and didn't concede. Paul, who started on lane 4, came close to making the final yards, but also had to make sure she was ahead of McPherson in second.
Paul, who won bronze in the 400-meter hurdles at the Tokyo Olympics last year, capped the World Cup in Belgrade with the fastest time of the season in the 400-meter race. In the Dutch national championship in February, I ran 50.30. Miller Uibo stayed a hundredth of a second above that in the World Cup final. The Bahamian athlete is a two-time Olympic champion at this distance.
Zoe Sydney
Zoe Sidney finished sixth in the 60m hurdles. She finished her first World Cup final in 8.07 seconds. The title went to Serena Samba Maila of France in 7.78. Devin Charlton of the Bahamas took the silver and Gabrielle Cunningham of America took the bronze.
Earlier in the evening, Sedney won the semi-finals with a time of 7.95. Mickey Tjeen-a-Lim stranded in the semi-finals of the 60-meter hurdles. Earlier in the day I recorded my personal best result in Belgrade with 8.11.
Sydney is the third Dutch athlete to reach the final in the 60-meter hurdles. Morgan Oleslager did so in 1987 (fifth) and 1989 (sixth). Nadine Visser won the bronze medal in 2018. Visser is absent from the World Cup. She injured her hamstring at the Dutch National Championship and had to skip the tournament in Belgrade.

Sprinter Jacobs beats defending champion Coleman by 60 metres
Italian athlete Lamont Marcel Jacobs won the gold medal in the 60 metres. The Olympic 100-meter champion beat defending champion Christian Coleman of the United States by a narrow margin. Bronze went to another American, Marvin Prause. Jacobs came in 6.41secs and was faster than Coleman in milliseconds. The American sprinter had a better start, but suffered a loss.
Coleman missed the 100m race at the Tokyo Olympics last summer. The reigning world champion on this track was initially given a two-year suspension due to the loss of three doping controls within a year. CAS showed some leniency and reduced the suspension to eighteen months, but Coleman was still absent from Tokyo.

Our Artist's illustration of poor Mary Kelly at the door of her ill fated lodging in Miller's court, Dorset street, and of children waifs hungering for a meal in an adjacent thoroughfare, will remind the public forcibly of the terrible conditions of life in the East End and in every other squalid quarter of London. We have warrant for the hope that Lord Mayor Whitehead will do all in his power to mitigate the appalling sum total of wretchedness in the Metropolis, as his Lordship benevolently begins his civic reign with a colossal feast to the poor. We know that many gentlewomen nobly labour to aid their erring sisters, and to reduce human suffering by the active exercise of open handed charity. All honour to them for thus sacrificing their leisure in town as H.R.H. Princess Christian mercifully does in Windsor.


"I mean, err, it's not an easy choice." Samantha realised her hand had moved from hovering over the enter key and was reaching up to scratch the back of her neck, a reflex for whenever she felt anxious. She otherwise remained motionless on the spinny-chair in front of her desk and after a brief scratch, she looked wearily out the window to find a distraction.
"Believe me, you were about to make the right one. I should know." The replying voice bounced around the room and its similarity to Samantha's still confused her.
"Yeah, well, I mean, how should you know, huh?" Samantha fixed her view on a particular branch that housed a bird's nest, complete with bird, on a tree on the other side of the road.
"Well I am a demon, it comes with the territory." Samantha turned around, her morbid curiosity getting the better of her. On her bed sat a mirror of herself twiddling with a doodad that was projecting different colours on the opposite wall, in this instance red, and bouncing some of it back onto her providing a faint glow. Her hair was different to what Samantha's currently was, but Samantha quickly recalled it was in the style she had it during that summer holiday. Still, there that double sat, talking as if it didn't care at all it had a lookalike in the same room.
"A, ummm, a demon?" She examined herself, or at least the herself that was on her bed and made it clear the red light wasn't helping, to which the doodad was turned off and put to the side, prompting the double to stare intently at Samantha.
"You never heard of people having personal demons? Well, obviously you have, but it's not just a phrase. Well It is, I suppose, but for a reason. Anyhow, this is that." Her hands reached up to her head and felt the hair, nodding in appreciation as the hands traced the agreeable style. The bird from across the road raced off from the branch with a furious flap of its wings, the sound of which caught Samantha's attention for a moment. As she turned back around to face the double, her head only got half-way as it encountered the double perched on the desk, kicking its legs against the shelves on its front, having moved to that position in an impossibly short time.
"Well shouldn't there be an angel to watch over me, like, to balance you out?" Samantha didn't seem too taken back by the double's speed of movement. In that time there had been a subtle warmth passing through her body that calmed her in the presence of the double, not enough to be truly noticeable, just enough to make her feel comfortable.
"That really begs the question of us two, does there deserve to be one in this situation? Let's be honest here, the choice is either something you know to be 'bad', hence me, or neutral. The mid-way point is you." The kicking against the shelves was rhythmic and accompanied by a hum which prompted the realisation from Samantha that her double was performing a rendition of the Danse Macabre.
"That's, ah, not exactly a subtle tune." Samantha meant to say it with irritation behind the words, but it came out more jovial.
"I can't really help it that that's the tune I'm making, that's on you." The response came with a smile that helped put Samantha back at ease again, along with a stopping of the kicking and humming.
"So I need to argue with you until one of us wins and then, then I guess I go with that?" Samantha felt her hand reach up to the back of her neck again, but brought it back down before it got above her shoulder.
"Okay. Well, point, err, point one is that…" Before Samantha could finish the double stared her down in a way that made her stop talking.
"Be honest now, you've already weighed it up. It's the results you're worried about, not the arguments for actually going through with it, or not. I'll make it easy; you'll probably get what you want from this, but of course you know that, it's why I said you were making the right decision." The double had now found a slinky on the desk and was tossing it between its hands.
"So you're saying I should do it?" This time Samantha caught her hand before it had even left the rest of the chair. The double's response was simply a lack of expression and a still slinky. "Right, right, right, it's up to me." She lifted her hand, but this time to reach for the enter key once more.
"That said…" was all the double needed to say to stop Samantha from following through.
"That said of course you would say that, because that's the part of me that wants to think it'll be that easy…right?" Samantha's plea was initially ignored. Within a few moments the only sound filling the room was the slinky that had been picked up again and was expanding and retracting.
"There's an easy solution to this. I press the button." The double broke the near silence, shrugged and opened her hands out in a nonchalant manner and then witnessing no response from Samantha, reached for the button.
"That doesn't really, I mean, it doesn't change me doing it, if I have this whole situation down right. Right?" Samantha twitched as she realised her hand was behind her neck scratching it. As the double's finger got closer to the button, tantalisingly so, Samantha found herself unable or unwilling, to stop her. And then it was done.
"There, all done. How do you feel about that?" In the time of a blink, the double was lying on the bed playing with the doodad again, specifically pointing it at Samantha in a variety of colours.
"Err, good, I guess? Yeah, good. That was what I wanted." Samantha smiled at the version of herself on her bed.
"Then there we go then. See you again sometime!" The double suddenly shone the doodad at Samantha's eyes momentarily blinding her. As her eyes regained focus she realised she was finally alone in her room.

You can't get any closer to a hole-in-one than this!
Ernst's ???? shot was one of the @ULdialogue Shots of the Day.
Here's what to watch for and how to watch the U.S. Open today.
USGA using a bit shorter tee at No 9 today (143 yards), but back left hole location is one of the harder pins.
.@JustinThomas34 has the power to take on Erin Hills.
We broke down his swing to see where it comes from.
Seems the US Open has arrived. Paul Casey has hit 5 shots @ the par-5 14th & still hasn't reached the green & not a single GIR in the group.
Who's making a push to move inside the cut?
Defending @THEPLAYERSChamp Si Woo Kim is -2 thru 9.
Getting to the point where Adam Scott should just anchor the damn putter and take the penalty.
The mantra for @RickieFowler after his historic 1st round at the #USOpen ?
Si Woo Kim is taking driver off the deck again.
Just like he did at @THEPLAYERSChamp .
Si Woo Kim out here trying to do his best Martin Kaymer 2014 impersonation.
Fans at Erin Hills are doing the Schauffele Shuffle.
The 18th hole is 676 yards today at Erin Hills. If my math is correct, we're only 24 yards away from a 700-yard hole. At least it's a par 5.
Let's review the top moments⚡ from the first round of the 117th #USOpen .
So, this Schauffele guy has an X on his card every time he plays. Different from mine, I'll wager.
Schauffele is doing things again in his major champ debut. He's T1 at the #USOpen .

Joe Patterson says a young Martin McGuinness led a sectarian boycott which destroyed his business.
Former deputy first minister Martin McGuinness will be fondly remembered by his many supporters on the first anniversary of his death this Wednesday.
But one Donegal man now living in Vancouver, Joe Patterson, said he is still living with the bitter consequences of the former IRA commander's role inthe intimidation and boycott of his butchery business in the 1970s, which saw him forced to emigrate with his young family in 1974.
The Pattersons had run a butcher's business in Letterkenny since the 1840s and always lived peaceably with their neighbours. They owned a farm of 150 acres and a thriving, long-established meat business, providing jobs for around a dozen employees.
It was one of the most significant butchery businesses in the area. With the escalation of the Troubles in the early 1970s, cross-border trade caused his sales to increase 300%.
However, Joe was worried about anti-Protestant sentiment coming crossing the border.
Ominously, his first dealings with a young Martin McGuinness had a sinister and sectarian edge.
"I knew Martin McGuinness in the late 1960s and early 1970s," he said. "He was a butcher who worked in the old Derry City abattoir at the top of William Street.
In 1972 Mr Patterson's business suffered the theft of cash and four tonnes of frozen sirloin steak, which prompted a Garda investigation.
The suspects sought help from the Donegal IRA which was refused, but then approached Martin McGuinness. He paid a visit to Letterkenny to find out what was happening and "was only too happy to oblige by calling a boycott of our business".
Joe added: "Complaints to An Garda regarding bomb threats to our customers were ignored.
"Many long-time customers apologised to me for being unable to continue doing business with us because of these threats.
If Joe's car was seen in Letterkenny, his wife would get a phone call telling her where his body could be found.
Three Protestant businesses were 'forced out' in Letterkenny at the time, he said, employing some 200 people.
Mr Patterson believes he was treated unfairly in the boycott by the Irish Transport and General Workers Union and two Dublin barristers he had asked to help.
In 1977 his Donegal solicitor was intimidated to drop his case and then suffered a mental breakdown.
"Despite many complaints of intimidation, the theft of four tons of sirloin steak, harassment to myself and my family not one charge was ever laid by the Garda," he said.
Although one suspect admitted involvement to Joe and came into a small fortune soon after, Garda said there were no grounds for an investigation.
"We sought help from Paddy Harte TD who trained as a butcher with us. He, as a TD, promised to do what he could in Dublin.
"A week later we received an answer that he had been instructed by his boss, Liam Cosgrave TD not to get involved.
Joe and his wife, Margaret, 39, their son David, 10, and his two daughters nine and five, left for Vancouver in 1974 where they now live.


In this white paper, we look at how putting the customer at the heart of your business can deliver an exceptional customer experience, and ultimately boost profits, along with some of the typical approaches for conducting customer experience research.
"Delighting customers inevitably adds costs" is suggested as one of three key barriers to some companies making a push for delighting their customers, by Steve Denning in his "Is Delighting The Customer Profitable?" article for Forbes earlier this year.
The perception of delighting customers being a cost burden as outlined above would of course depend heavily upon a particular company's culture (and would undoubtedly be engrained throughout the company). Said company would, as an example, be fairly successful, and be content to deliver a good service. Delivering 'good service', we would argue, is not a long-term strategy. A 'good service' is expected by customers – it is a hygiene factor that does not drive satisfaction higher, but it will drive it lower if it is not fulfilled. From the years of customer research that our team has conducted, we know that if customers are delivered a service that is merely 'acceptable', their heads will be easily turned if a better provider comes along.
There are other types of companies that put the customer right at the heart of their business, and make it part of their goal to deliver customer excellence. Rather than being focussed on the cost of 'going the extra mile', these companies will have a motto something along the lines of "delighting customers is what we do, it helps our profits thrive" – such an idiom would be engrained in the company culture (see Apple, Google, Amazon, Zappos, etc). It is very pleasing to see more and more companies switching to this way of thinking.
The first type of company, the one focussed on the cost implications of change, has (in very rough terms) an 'outside-in' approach to the business. Every decision, choice and action is accountable back to the central finance department and/or shareholders, and therefore must be justified. Obviously this is common in all businesses to some extent; however, in extreme examples these would be the companies where the chance for creativity and empowerment amongst employees is confined to rather lengthy and carefully worded company guidelines.
The second type of company could be referred to as inside-out companies – these companies have their customers at the very core of what they do and this resonates outwards and impacts on all elements of the business. These companies give their staff free reign to use their own intuition when it comes to delighting customers.
These are two fairly polarised views – but what it does highlight is that, although change may take some time, an outside-in company can indeed become customer-centric by placing the customer at the heart of all decisions. However, in all case (all successful ones, at least), decisions such as this must be lead from the top – from the CEO to the person at the store counter, the whole business has to have the customer at the forefront of their mind.
One exercise that is useful for any company is to understand what the issues are that your customers expect, and which issues really delight them. In many cases, issues that companies believe to be differentiating areas, are in fact seen by the customers as hygiene factors.
'Hygiene factors' are the elements of a service or offering that customers expect. These issues will not increase satisfaction, but they will decrease it if they are not delivered against.
'Nice to haves' are issues that can influence satisfaction. These are elements of a product or service that are not necessarily expected and can drive satisfaction higher if they are delivered effectively. Over time, nice to haves can regress to become hygiene factors as they become expected by customers.
'Differentiators' are the delight issues – these are things that customers do not expect; the examples of going 'one step further', or of exceeding expectations. These are the things that set companies apart from their competitors. There is sometimes a perception that differentiators can be expensive to implement (see Denning's quote at the start of this article) due to the impact and value that they deliver to customers. However, in many cases these areas can be easy and inexpensive to implement and instead come down to allowing staff a little flexibility to embody a focussed company promise, and to shine in their own way to deliver a personalised service.
What would you say are your company's hygiene factors, nice to haves, and differentiators? Do you think your customers would agree, or would they position them differently on the pyramid? Many differentiators are so simple; sometimes they can be the fundamental elements of a product or service offering that no other company in the market currently does well, where providing an exceptional service can really set a brand or company apart from the competition.
With the above in mind, how do we then approach a typical programme of customer experience research? There are number of different approaches, techniques and tools that can be used. In this white paper, we shall take an initial look at some of the more common techniques.
Tracking performance and customer satisfaction on an ongoing basis.
In order for all the stages above to fully gel together and deliver dramatic change within an organisation, there needs to be full senior support. With that in mind, for any organisation looking to conduct such a programme, we would always recommend involving all senior stakeholders in the key stages of the research. This should be from the very first commissioning meeting, right through to the final strategy workshop. Taking this approach ensures that all senior staff not only feel ownership of the project, but are also able to deliver change far quicker than might otherwise be the case.
When working through the stages of such a research programme, there are a number of tools and approaches that can be used to bring (in hypothetical terms) the customer to the heart of the business. At the start of the customer journey mapping research, it may be that we want to take the senior stakeholder on a clue-spotting safari. As grandly-named as this may sound, it can essentially be a trip around a company's store, offices, or similar place where customers might interact with the organisation. On this trip we would encourage the stakeholders to take pictures of the small details that build up their perception of the customer experience – anything from loose shopping trolleys in the car park, to faulty TVs on display. Although these small details may seem trivial, it is indeed the small details that help us build our perception of things (indeed, even the ends of a toilet roll being carefully folded in a luxury hotel give off the message that the hotel has close attention to detail – and yet it costs the hotel nothing to implement).
Once the stakeholders have an understanding of how these elements can influence the customer experience (just as much as any product guarantees, or a product's quality might), it enables us to deliver a much more comprehensive and thought-out strategy at the back-end of a project. Placing the stakeholders in the shoes of the customer, and focussing on the detail, highlights just how much a company's values can be shown through so many different aspects of what the organisation does.
Research and insight has moved on dramatically in recent years in terms of the creativity that it can deliver when bringing data and information to life. Customer experience research especially lends itself to this creativity. One of the key elements of success in delivering change within an organisation is ensuring that all staff are 'bought in' and understand the changes, and one of the most effective ways to do this and to bring research findings to life is through video. A picture does indeed speak a thousand words, and when a short video clip can highlight a particular problem that customers face, or a particular event that fills them with delight, the message is instantly clear to staff. Some of our clients have been keen on video clips merged with customer journey maps, whereby particularly troublesome touchpoints are highlighted with video evidence so that employees know how to deliver effectively against them in the future.
A core part of many customer experience research programmes is conducting an on-going satisfaction tracking survey with customers. Trackers tend to be conducted in waves at regular intervals (e.g. every month, every quarter, every 6 months), and involve surveying a large enough sample of customers to allow differences in satisfaction to be measured robustly from one wave of interviews to the next. Data from these trackers can be fed into reporting dashboards that can be used to interrogate and monitor satisfaction data as it comes in, to highlight areas for immediate action. The effects of this live data can also be amplified through real-time 'hot alerts', whereby an email alert can be automatically sent to a particular team or individual if a very low satisfaction score is received on a particular topic (as an example, a member of the accounts team might receive an email notification when a customer has given a low satisfaction score relating to 'prompt invoicing'). Data can also be married up with existing client data and, with analytics applied, can help us understand such things as 'potential revenue at risk' due to poor satisfaction and loyalty scores.
Another development in customer experience research is the advent of social media monitoring. As many companies know, a good or bad comment on twitter can spread like wildfire. With most customer experience programmes, we now suggest that clients consider combining social media monitoring exercises alongside customer satisfaction research – in many cases, this can be delivered as part of a tracking dashboard so that all information is accessible in one place.
Something that is often enlightening to many clients is just how much of an impact small (and often low-cost or free) changes can make in improving customer satisfaction. As a follow-up activity to customer satisfaction research, it is fairly obvious that something should be done to improve the relationship with those that are not satisfied. But something that is often overlooked is thanking the people who are truly satisfied – the promoters. These promoters are the lifeblood of any company, and often something as simple as saying 'thank you' and displaying gratitude can go a long way.
In summary, customer experience research is both simple in its aim and highly detailed in what is involved and what can be delivered. Researching the customer experience can deliver great value in highlighting areas of strength and in identifying unmet needs. Crucially, it can help in indicating the disconnect between a company's perception of its offering and the customer's perception of its offering – which in some cases can mean the difference between going out of business, or continued growth.
The points mentioned above do indeed only scratch the surface of this exciting area of work. But one point to always remember: any company that asks its customers how it is performing, and is seen to pride itself on an excellent customer experience, automatically raises expectations. Once people have taken part in a satisfaction survey, they expect to see a change.


DALLAS - Health care is a major issue in this presidential election. Everyone is trying to figure out how to pay for it without bankrupting our country.
During his run for the White House, Governor Rick Perry pushed states to do as Texas did back in 2003 and cap medical malpractice lawsuits. The idea was, by eliminating frivolous lawsuits and capping the amount a jury can award, those benefits would be passed down to patients in the form of lower healthcare costs and more doctors working in Texas.
But Fox 4 found some families don't buy it.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine," Jennifer Dickerson sings to her baby daughter Ava on a family videotape.
Dickerson will never forget those final moments when her daughter took her last breath.
"I don't know how long I held her. It didn't seem long enough," Dickerson said.
The Bernal family is reminded daily of what might have been for their 4-year-old, Kaylee.
"They told us they did not know the extent of the damage without having a heart beat that long," Robert Bernal said.
And Bill and Kelly Putnam watched Kelly's dad drown in front of them at a nursing home.
"He is flailing his arms and legs for his last breath and then he stops," said Bill Putnam.
These North Texas families all believe they were victims of medical malpractice and they all hit the same brick wall.
"No one will take the case," said Jennifer Dickerson. "It is going to be too expensive."
"We cannot even get it filed," said Robert Bernal.
"There is nothing we can do because of tort reform," said Bill Putnam.
Back in 2003, the Texas Legislature passed tort reform and later Governor Rick Perry and his wife pushed voters to change the constitution.
"Proposition 12 protects your family," said Anita Perry in a television commercial.
But did it? The reform put caps of $250,000 on non-economic damages like pain and suffering. That means people who don't work, like the elderly, babies and stay-at-home parents are limited even if they win a malpractice lawsuit.
Perry called it a win for Texans and during his presidential run he claimed much-needed doctors were coming to Texas.
"This last year, 21,000 more physicians [are] practicing medicine in Texas because they know they can come there and do what they love and not be sued frivolously," Perry said.
But within days Politifact, a government fact checking project run by the Tampa Bay Times, reported Perry was "flat out wrong." It said his numbers were off by almost 8,000.
With the courthouse doors being closed off to so many, Fox 4 questioned who are the winners and the losers.
"The big winners have to be the patients who have more access to specialized and timely care than they previously did," said Jon Opelt of Texas Alliance for Patient Access. The group represents doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and insurance companies.
"The physician growth in Texas has been dramatic since the passage of these reforms," said Opelt. "It has been dramatic in Dallas, Texas."
"Some of that is simple distortion," said Charles Silver, a law professor at University of Texas at Austin.
Silver says doctors are coming to Texas because the population is growing.
Silver is part of the only educational research group that studied the historical growth rate. Was it dramatic? He says not even close.
"Doctors came to Texas in numbers every year before 2003 and they would have kept coming here after 2003, had there been no tort reform," Silver said.
In fact, Silver's group, which gets no money from special interests, says the rate of growth actually slowed after tort reform in Texas.
"Texas has fallen farther and farther and farther behind the average U.S, state." he continued.
So what about insurance coverage?
"We had 13 insurance companies writing coverage in this state and that dwindled to just 4," Jon Opelt said.
Opelt said after tort reform was passed, insurance companies returned to Texas and premiums for doctors have gone down substantially, around 50 percent. So have those costs been passed on to consumers like us?
"We are paying higher bills," said Tom Smith of Public Citizen. "The cost of health care premiums in Texas has gone up 51 percent."
Studies show the average Texas family paid around $9,000 for health insurance in 2003 and more than $14,000 in 2010. That is $655 higher than the national average of $13,871.
"The number of people who have insurance has increased. As a percentage of the whole, it has decreased," said Opelt.
In other words, more people have insurance in Texas because our population has grown but studies show more than a quarter, 27.8 percent, have no insurance -- giving Texas top honors for the most residents uninsured.
"Someone needs to stand up and say this has got to stop," said Bill Putnam.
Every Sunday for the past three years, Bill and Kelly Putnam of Frisco take to the streets in front of the Signature Point Nursing Home.
They say a nurse forced medicine into Kelly's dad's feeding tube using a syringe. The liquid went into his lungs. The state licensing authority found "no deficiencies" and the home says, "No evidence to substantiate the Putnam's claim."
But the Texas Board of Nursing found the nurse involved committed numerous medical errors and the home directed the nurse to change her medical records which may have been intended to "deceive or mislead." The home disagrees with the nursing board's findings.
"The people we were supposed to be protecting are the ones we've thrown under the bus," said Bill Putnam.
The Putnams don't believe the value of a human life should be based on a paycheck.
"We threw legitimate lawsuits out the door," Bill Putnam continued.
"It is holding a person accountable for their actions," said Kelly Putnam. "We never had a clue that tort reform would have an impact on our life like this. It can happen to anybody."
The Bernals struggle to get the best care for their daughter Kaylee. After complications at birth, she cannot walk or talk. Now they have to depend on Medicaid so taxpayers foot the bill.
"All we are trying to do is make the best of a bad situation with our daughter," said Robert Bernal. "We should leave it up to a jury to make these decisions."
And the memory of baby Ava and the pain of losing her will live with the Dickersons forever. The Texas Board of Medical Examiners found their doctor, who is a specialist, "failed to recognize and diagnose" their baby's congenital diaphragmatic hernia during an ultrasound.
That failure "left the [mother] with no opportunity to seek treatment for the fetus." The board fined him and ordered him to get more training. For the Dickersons, it felt like a slap on the wrist.
"We feel like it is going to be overlooked," said Jennifer Dickerson. "It has completely changed our lives."
The Dickersons didn't just lose their daughter; they feel like the court house doors were shut in their face.
"Like the insurance companies rule the world," said Todd Dickerson. "They won, and they don't care," added Jennifer Dickerson.
Kelly and Bill Putnam are not just speaking out, they are organizing. They are building a website and say they will continue to picket every Sunday, the day Kelly's dad died.


Question period started off with Ralph Goodale and Dominic LeBlanc having a retreaded exchange with Pierre Poilievre on the In & Out issue. Gilles Duceppe and Pierre Paquette shook things up by asking about the charges laid in the Cinar fraud case and why the government was bothering to introduce legislation to freeze Ben Ali's Canadian assets when they had other mechanisms to do so. Jack Layton returned to the In & Out scheme.
Round two kicked off with Marc Garneau, Carolyn Bennett, Gerry Byrne, Bob Rae and Claude DeBellefeuille each asking about various aspects of the In & Out issue. Things moved on with Christiane Gagnon asking about the Quebec City arena and Raymonde Folco asking about Kairos. (Bev Oda gave a non-answer about how much good work on foreign aid her government was doing.) Her response was the same again for John McKay's similar question.
Round three saw questions on forestry, cod stocks, cuts to housing programs, prison construction, Nutrition North, enhancing the CPP and back taxes owed by cigarette companies.
Sartorially speaking, snaps go out to Bonnie Crombie for her purple top with grey trim and black skirt and to Scott Simms for his charcoal pinstriped suit with a crisp white shirt and burgundy tie. Style citations go out to France Bonsant for her mustard jacket and mustard-and-brown plaid skirt, as well as Gordon O'Connor for his charcoal suit, lavender shirt and far-too-busy red tie.
New for the In & Out scandal: Senator Doug Finley is trying to distance the PM from the whole affair, and former Conservative MPs are speaking out against the scheme.
Another small scandal broke out at the end of QP. It was revealed that Jason Kenney mistakenly sent a partisan fundraising letter to an NDP MP using his parliamentary letterhead; it detailed Conservative plans to capture the ethno-cultural vote. The staffer in question has resigned (naturally – way to go ministerial accountability). To hit back, the Conservatives started pointing out every Liberal website with a parliamentary logo on it.
The Canadian Press once again gives us some ace reporting, looking into the way the Conservatives have rebranded the Government of Canada into the "Harper Government." Oh, but there's nothing wrong with it, the PM's communications director says, before adding that Orwell says hi.
Liberal MP Glen Pearson laments the government's cuts to housing funds. While he understands part of this is because stimulus spending is wrapping up, the need for affordable housing has never been greater, and the loss of those funds isn't making the situation any better.
The government is still spending a million dollars per year for the office of public appointments. It doesn't actually exist yet, though, since Harper threw a tantrum when the opposition didn't like that he wanted to install one of his fundraisers as the chair.
Gilles Duceppe says that if unredacted Afghan detainee documents aren't released by April 15, the Bloc is going to pull out of the special process that's currently going through them.
A bit of shameless self-promotion: I was surprised to hear that Liberal MP Carolyn Bennett quoted my blog post on the Senate abolition motion (alongside quotes from Chantal Hébert) during debate in the Commons yesterday. Highlight of my day.

A high Arctic ice refuge is more vulnerable than previously assumed, scientists say
The so-called "Last Ice Area" of northern Canada and Greenland might not hold sea ice as long as once thought.

At the far northern end of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and along the shore of nearby Greenland, narrow Arctic Ocean channels between tightly spaced islands and headlands often hold thick, durable sea ice. Scientists have previously assumed sea ice will remain present in this area for longer into the future, even as it declines elsewhere, providing a refuge for ice-dependent animals such as polar bears.
But new study has found that this ice refuge is not as safe as previously assumed.
The Wandel Sea, the easternmost point of what is known as the "Last Ice Area," hit a record low in sea ice concentration last August, and indications are that ice loss there will continue into the future, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal Communication Earth and Environment.
"With continued thinning, more frequent low summer sea ice events are expected. We suggest that the Last Ice Area, an important refuge for ice-dependent species, is less resilient to warming than previously thought," said the study, led by scientists from the University of Washington's Polar Science Center.
Signs of ice weakness in that region were readily apparent to members of the year-long MOSAiC Arctic expedition. When the Polarstern icebreaker was ferrying scientists north of Greenland last year, the ship's captain expressed surprise at finding so much open water in the region. In an online post, he described the sea as "soft and easy to traverse" and the ice that existed there as "thin and porous."
Melinda Webster, a research scientist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks who was on the ship at the time but was not involved with the UW-led study, said the weakness in the ice was striking.
"It was an area where I would have expected to see thick, old sea ice, what you read about in the literature," said Webster, a sea ice specialist with UAF's Geophysical Institute. Instead, the ice was thin, about what she would expect to see at the edge of the ice pack, and the ship passed quickly, albeit through a lot of fog, she said. "The amount of open water was what really got me."

The newly published study used satellite data and modeling to examine why ice concentration fell to that record low. For the most part, the low concentration was attributed to seasonal weather conditions — largely unusual winds that broke apart the ice. But long-term warming also contributed to the low-concentration record, getting about 20 percent of the responsibility, according to the study's calculations. That is significant, and shows that the Wandel Sea region may not be a safe harbor for summer ice in the future, the study said.
"Given the long-term thinning trend and strong interannual variability in atmospheric forcing, it seems reasonable to expect that summer sea ice conditions in the (Wandel Sea) will likely become more variable in the future," it said.
There was a sign of change that emerged before the 2020 record-low concentration was reached, the study notes. In the spring of 2018, strong winds pushed ice away from coast and created a large polynya of open water, it said.
The "Last Ice Area" is important to a variety of Arctic species, including narwhals, ice-dependent seals and ivory gulls.
For polar bears, a species facing possible collapse in most of the Arctic if current carbon emissions trends continue, according to a 2020 study, the region would hold the last available habitat for a surviving population. Unless emissions are curbed, the archipelago's Queen Charlotte Islands would be the only place safe from total reproductive failure by the late part of the 21st century, according to that study.
Axel Schweiger, chairman of UW Polar Science Center and the study's lead author, said the findings deliver a mixed message, both pessimistic and optimistic.
"Yes, as a human being and a parent I find it depressing of how we are changing the planet we are leaving to our children," Schweiger said by email. " But as a scientist, big changes like we are seeing, offer opportunities for learning about how the system works. . .and that ultimately benefits us too because it helps us to move in the right direction and also manage what can no longer be avoided."
Schweiger was not on the Polarstern himself, but he was part of a MOSAiC-related project that predicted where the ship would drift.
For Webster, the study results are also a troubling sign of climate change — but also a call to action, including more scientific research.
"From a scientific perspective, it's like, 'Oh wow. This is a drastic change that's happening pretty quickly,'" she said. That makes it important to understand, she said, "so we can know what's ahead and know when it's going to hit."

The 'Black-ish' actor is under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.
(AllHipHop News) Anthony Anderson is currently under criminal investigation for assaulting a woman, allegations he strongly denies.
The Blast reports the unidentified female filed a police report with the Los Angeles Police Department claiming the "Black-ish" actor assaulted her months ago.
The woman first met Anderson while catering an event for the actor, but it was their second meeting to discuss future business opportunities that the alleged assault took place.
Sources close to the victim reveal it was the #MeToo movement that gave her the courage to come forth.

Biden administration will be open to promoting ties with India: Senator Mark Warner at HTLS 2020 – htls
The United States and India can build on some of the progress made by the Trump administration, US Senator Mark Warner said on Friday, noting that Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared to have a good personal relationship. Warner spoke on the last day of the 2020 Hindustan Times Leadership Summit to Mukesh Aghi, President and CEO of the United States-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF).
The Biden administration, he said, will be open to advancing ties with India, especially in the tech sector and in the fight against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19). "I think we can build on some of the progress made by the Trump administration (with India)," Warner said of how President-elect Joe Biden's team would take it forward.
Warner said that Biden's team would be very diverse. "We think about Native American relations, we have the first Indian American vice president," he said. "The world realizes that the people who entered the Biden administration have been multinationals," Warner added.
Warner, a Democrat who co-chairs the Indian Senate Caucus, has in the past raised concerns about restrictions in Kashmir and called for their withdrawal. "I think the Indian government, at times, has not been that advanced in defending the case, not just in the United States but globally over Kashmir," Warner, a Democratic senator from Virginia, said Friday.
Warner, who is a staunch supporter of the close ties between the United States and India and moved many critical legislation promoting relations and asked the administration for crucial relief and help when needed, also commented on Kashmir in October.
"While I understand that India has legitimate security concerns, I am concerned about its restrictions on communications and movement within Jammu and Kashmir," Warner tweeted in October. "I hope that India abides by its democratic principles by allowing freedom of the press, information and political participation," he added.
The United States and India can build on some of the progress made by the Trump administration, Warner said, noting that Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared to have a good personal relationship.
Warner spoke about Trump's refusal to admit defeat in the US election, saying he was optimistic but not sure what Donald Trump would do. "There is virtually no one in the White House or my Republican colleague in the Senate who believes that he (Donald Trump) is going to overturn the election result," Warner said.

Home Technology iOS 13.3 will support physical security keys and bring extra parental features
iOS 13.3 will support physical security keys and bring extra parental features
By Craig Risi
It's the end of the year and Apple is trying to get one last release of iOS before the year closes out – with the release of iOS 13.3 this week. With security being the buzz word for most tech companies this year it appears to be no different here. ISO 13.3's biggest feature sees security enhancements to the operating system, most importantly around the enablement of FIDO2-compliant USB-C, NFC, and Lightning physical security keys with Apple's Safari browser.
Considering that many companies view security keys as the safer alternative to traditional passwords and biometrics scans and with a wide number of services like Gmail, Dropbox, Twitter, Outlook, and Facebook supporting them, the move definitely make sense and will also enable people who work for certain companies to also access certain communications as well.
Along with this extra protection comes with additional parental comfort as the new iOS also includes a feature titled Communication Limits, which allows parents to control who can and can't contact their kids. Parents can now choose to limit communications to only approved contacts within Apple's core apps — Phone, FaceTime, Messages, and iCloud. That list can be narrowed even further once Screen Time limits are up, so parents might limit communications to family members only. It's a useful safety feature, though it only works within those specific Apple apps meaning third-party apps could give kids a way to contact other people. Expect Apple to try to get 3rd-party apps to support it soon though.
Along with these big updates, iOS 13.3 includes some other minor updates. According to The Verge, Beta users have reported that RAM management appears to have improved, and Apple has added the ability to hide the Memoji stickers in keyboard settings. Something which for me is probably the most useful feature of all, as I am not a fan of the stickers. To each his own, I guess.

Charles Moore (1743-1811) was a rector and vicar of the Church of England. He was born in London in 1743, and during his career he worked in churches throughout England. In 1792 he was appointed to the College of Six Preachers of Canterbury Cathedral, a distinguished group of priests who were called upon to preach both at the Cathedral and in their own parishes.
A full inquiry into the subject of suicide is Moore's most significant scholarly work. It was written as a response to Hume's 1783 Essay on Suicide. While Hume argues that suicide can be justified and even preferable in some cases, Moore contends that any form of suicide is morally wrong and an affront to God. He includes an extensive literature review that is a great resource on attitudes towards suicide in the 18th century. He also wrote two treatises on dueling and gaming and their relation to suicide, which are included at the end of the volume.
The Archives and Special Collections Center holds a rare copy of A full inquiry into the subject of suicide. While the work was originally published as a two volume set, the Archives' copy contains both volumes and the two treatises on dueling and gaming bound together as one. This copy is in need of conservation treatment to clean and repair its leather spine, reattach its back cover and some of its leaves, and mend damaged areas on its covers. You can help support the conservation of this important work! Any donation toward preservation of this rare volume would be gratefully accepted. To donate, please visit our Adopt a Book page.

Since its September 2018 quarter, Alliance Mineral Assets Ltd's [ASX:A40] lithium production has fallen around 20%, significantly impacting its trading value.
At the time of writing, Alliance Mineral's share price has dropped 13.5%, to trade at 16 cents a share.
While events like production loss may seem unforeseeable, that's all just part and parcel of stock picking.
That's why resource expert and Money Morning contributor, Jason Stevenson, gives you his top 10 resource stocks trading on the ASX in 2019. You can read more about it here for free.
During October and November last year, Alliance was plagued by low feed grade which caused the drop in production and share price.
Thankfully, production has picked up during the December quarter, but there still seems to be some lag in Alliance Mineral's share price. As it stands, production costs for the quarter was around $1,152 per tonne of lithium concentrate.
On 29 January Alliance Mineral recorded a production guidance of 65,000–80,000 tonnes of lithium concentrate for the next six months, or until July this year.
Elsewhere, offtake negotiations of Alliance Mineral's remaining 50% of long-term production is projected to be mostly completed by March 2019 quarter.
Alliance Mineral is also looking for new offtake partners to back its remaining stage 1 lithium and stage 2 lithium 2 concentrate production.
Time will tell if this increased production will create some damage control to Alliance Mineral's shares.

This second edition is a comprehensive, entertaining guide to mixing boating with business. Leaping ahead of the first edition, this guide keeps up with a boating industry that has become much more regulated and competitive. It shows old salts and newcomers how to transform water-related fun into the pure pleasure of profitability–from starting a business, to accounting and budgeting, insurance, marketing tools, and the business plan. In understandable language, using terms that have excised the legal gobbledygook, it also provides requirements for licensing, documentation and vessel inspection, along with bareboat and crewed chartering. In a world of ever changing regulations, author Fred Edwards sums up the book's purpose with this pithy advice, "To save time, always check this book first; to save grief, check with the controlling agencies before you make a final decision." For anyone on the water, this book is a perfect and, possibly, a profitable gift.
