News came out this week that President-elect Donald Trump will nominate U.S. Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Price is an orthopedic surgeon by training who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2005. Most recently, Price has chaired the House Budget Committee. Despite his experience in both the medical and political realms, many in the scientific community are still unsure what this appointment will mean for scientific research. Price is a fierce critic of the Affordable Care Act and has previously mentioned that, while he supports medical research, he is not willing to give the government a blank check. Despite the unknown, many believe Price's main goals while serving as HHS secretary will be to reform Obamacare, Medicare and Medicaid.

On Wednesday evening, by an overwhelming bipartisan majority, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 21st Century Cures act by a vote of 392 to 26. Included in this bill is legislation to speed the process of delivering new medicines and medical devices to market, as well as a $4.8 billion dollar increase for medical research, including Vice President Joe Biden's cancer moonshot, BRAIN Initiative, and Precision Medicine Initiative. The bill will also give $1 billion to fight the opioid crisis and an additional $500 million to the FDA. The next step is for this legislation to be passed to Senate for a vote, which is expected early next week. Despite the overwhelming majority from the House vote, and the proposed support from Senate leaders, some high-ranking Senate members, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., are critical of the House version of the bill. They say that the bill caters too much to big pharma and will weaken regulator authority, potentially compromising patient safety.

Last week, a federal judge in Texas blocked the Dec. 1 implementation of a new rule from the U.S. Department of Labor expanding the number of workers eligible for overtime pay, including postdoctoral researchers. Despite this ruling, and the promise from Republicans in Congress to eliminate this rule, the NIH has vowed to move forward with increasing the amounts of stipends afforded to certain biomedical postdoctoral researchers.

How To Use Buy Stops To Enter A Position
Past performance has no bearing on future results.
For informational purposes only, not a recommendation to buy or sell any securities. Please see our Disclaimer.
One tool that experienced traders use to get into a position, or catch a price breakout, is a buy stop ABOVE the market. This can also be used to reenter positions that have been stopped out. Here are a few examples:
XYZ trades at $48, the 52 week high is 49.56 and a trader wants to enter a position only if price makes a new high. The trader can put a buy stop order into the system to enter only if price trades OVER 49.56. The order works similar to a sell stop loss order in that it triggers at the market if a certain price is hit first. If price trades over 49.56, the order gets filled and the trader does not have to constantly monitor the position.
ABC gets stopped out at $36.20 and edges lower. A trader who wants to avoid further downside, can put a buy stop order in the system at (example) 36.55. If the stock continues lower, the trader avoids further downside. If the stock bottoms and then reverses back higher, when it hits $36.55 the buy order will trigger and the trader will be back in the position.
Both of these scenarios enable the trader to enter on a move higher, but help to limit downside if the position never reclaims the stated price. As with all trading or investing, certain risks apply, including being whipsawed and reversed again, so the concept needs to be fully understood before using it.

The IRS accounts for collecting taxes due from citizens to ensure that the Federal Government has the money to conduct its business. The IRS presumes that taxpayers who are delinquent in filing their tax returns and who neglect to pay their taxes are blowing off the reason why taxes are important. The IRS also presumes that taxpayers do not have an excellent rationale for not fulfilling their tax obligations. Aggressive pursuit of these citizens is the reason IRS letters and notices are sent. Individuals who have filed their tax returns but haven't paid the taxes that are due all, may also get IRS letters and notices. For do speedy group activity, delinquent taxpayers are on the Internal Revenue Service radar.

Examples of Letters
Notice of Under-Reported Tax Debt

The penalties as well as the interest will amount to an impossible amount of money regardless of the perceived motive.
Notice of Wage Garnishes
A notice that threatens to attach property, bank account or a citizen's wages is serious. Letters that have been sent to the taxpayer in an attempt to resolve the delinquency before it achieves the collection activity are followed by this notice.

A notice stating the IRS has filed a lien on the citizen's property also follows this activity to be taken by letters of intent. The notice will contain the total amount of the governmental agency and the lien where it was recorded. This lien will stop the taxpayer from selling the property until the lien is filled, or the lien amount will be deducted from the profits of a sale. The IRS can also force the selling of the property to acquire fulfillment of the lien. A notice will be issued if a sale is planned.
What to do with a notice

Japan head to World Cup as Asia's top seeds
Japan win the WRWC 2017 Asia/Oceania qualification tournament after a 20-8 win over hosts and fellow qualifiers Hong Kong.
Japan were made to fight hard for a 20-8 victory in the final match of the Women's Rugby World Cup 2017 Asia/Oceania qualification tournament by a Hong Kong side that proved they deserve their place at next year's flagship event in Ireland every bit as much as their regional rivals.
The Sakura 15s will join WRWC 2017 hosts Ireland as well as France and Australia in Pool C after qualifying as Asia/Oceania 1, while the Asia/Oceania 2 berth goes to runners-up Hong Kong who face games against WRWC 2014 runners-up Canada, the world's number one ranked team New Zealand and Wales in Pool A. Pool B comprises defending champions England, USA, Italy and Spain.
Both sides went into Saturday's game at the Hong Kong Football Club assured of qualification following earlier victories over Fiji.
Hong Kong made just one change for the clash from the side that started the 45-7 win against Fijiana, with Nga Wun Lau coming in at loose-head prop for Yuen Shan Wong, who dropped to the bench.
Having beaten Fiji 55-0 on Tuesday, Japan opted to make three changes, introducing Aya Takeuchi to their second-row, while Minori Yamamoto and Riho Kurogi came in at fly-half and outside-centre respectively.
Japan, who'd beaten Hong Kong twice to win yet another Asia Rugby Women's Championship title back in May, threatened to blow the home side away after scoring two unconverted tries inside the first eight minutes.
Hooker Misaki Suzuki was first to go over after dotting down at the back of an efficient maul, before outstanding full-back Mayu Shimizu finished off a multi-phased attack which left Hong Kong's defence short of numbers on the right flank.
It looked ominous for Hong Kong when second-row Ka Yan Chan was yellow-carded in the 26th minute for not rolling away in the tackle but defiant defence kept Japan at bay and there was no further score up to half-time.
A moment of individual brilliance from Shimizu saw Japan stretch further out in front seven minutes after the restart. The teenage tearaway received the ball on the right flank after a scrum on halfway and had precious little room to work in. However, she managed to fend off left-wing Ka Yon Chong and got on the outside of the cover defence before showing a devastating turn of pace to run to the line unopposed. It was her fourth try in the space of four days after a double against Fiji.
Hong Kong responded well to the setback and they arguably deserved more for their efforts than three points from the boot of Adrienne Garvey after Japan were penalised at the breakdown.
On 69 minutes, Japan's forwards took it upon themselves to put the result to bed, a series of pick-and-goes ending with tight-head Saki Minami burrowing her way over the line.
Still, Hong Kong refused to lay down and Jo Hull's side had the final word when centre Natasha Olsen-Thorne broke through the Japanese defence before finding number eight Nim Yan Li with an inside pass.
Japan can now look forward to their fourth Women's Rugby World Cup, having appeared in the first two tournaments in 1991 and 1994 and then again in 2002, while qualification is a first for Hong Kong at this level.

Every type of insurance is a little different—from homeowners to auto to health. Even health insurance and dental insurance plans have their similarities and differences. Whether you are buying dental insurance for the first time, or the first time in a long time, read through this article to learn more about how your dental plan works, how to use it, and how certain dental plan term meanings may vary in meaning from health plan terms.
How your dental insurance plan works and how to use it
1. Get a dental insurance quote and enroll in a plan
Not all dental plans are the same. Some focus heavily on preventive care—and typically have lower premiums as a result. Others have more robust benefits for basic or major care (e.g. fillings, crowns, root canals)—and typically have higher premiums as a result.
Shop around to find coverage that meets your oral health needs, includes your preferred dentist and oral healthcare providers, and that you also consider affordable. Call 888-855-6837 to learn more about your dental benefits options.
You can get a quick quote online or by speaking with a licensed health insurance producer who sells dental policies.
2. Become familiar with your benefits
Dental insurance typically provides benefits for three categories of oral care: preventive, basic and major. What your plan pays for services in each category may vary. For instance, many—but not all—dental plans cover preventive care such as cleanings and exams at 100 percent and with no waiting period. Certain services may also be subject to a waiting period before benefits may be used.
Before you receive dental services, read over your plan materials and always call your dental insurance company with questions regarding benefits.
3. Schedule an appointment
As you would with healthcare, call the dentist's office and schedule an appointment. Verify that the provider accepts your dental insurance plan—even if their website says they do.
If your dental plan requires you to visit network providers or offers a discount when you utilize providers in a certain network, search the network provider directory to find them. Provider directories are often available online, or you can call the plan's membership services number.
4. Present your ID card and pay your copay, if applicable
When you check in for your appointment, you will need to provide your dental insurance card. At that time, you may owe a copayment for services, as outlined in your dental insurance policy. Not all plans and services require copays, which is another reason to become familiar with your dental benefits.
5. Look for an explanation of benefits (EOB) and your bill—hint: these are not the same thing
Dental claims are paid much like healthcare claims. When you visit a participating provider, that provider will submit your dental claim. Your dental plan will pay its share, if any, and send you an explanation of benefits (EOB) that details how the claim was processed including the portion paid by the plan and the portion you can expect to pay. An EOB is not a bill. You will receive a bill separately.
Do dental insurance terms and health insurance terms mean the same thing?
When you shop for dental insurance and look over your policy materials, you will notice some of the same terms used in your health insurance policy. While some of these terms mean the same thing for both types of coverage, others may mean something a little different when used for dental insurance. Some examples:
|Dental Insurance Definition
|Same or Different?
|Health Insurance Definition
|The amount you pay to your dental insurance company for coverage. Paid monthly, quarterly or annually.
|The amount you pay to your health insurance company for coverage. Paid monthly, quarterly or annually.
|The amount you must pay out of pocket for covered services each year before your dental plan begins to pay its share.
|The amount you must pay out of pocket for covered services each year before your health plan begins to pay its share.
|The amount you pay up front for dental care—may vary by covered service.
|The amount you pay up front for healthcare—may vary by covered service.
|The percentage your dental plan pays for covered services. You pay the remainder out of pocket.
|The percentage your dental plan pays for covered services. You pay the remainder out of pocket.
|Annual maximum benefit
|The most a dental plan will pay for covered services in a year.
|Also known as an annual limit, the Affordable Care Act banned annual maximums from individual major medical plans as of 2014.
|Waiting Period
|Certain services may be subject to a waiting period before benefits begin—this applies to individual and employer-based dental plans.
|With an employer-based health insurance plan, employees may be subject to a waiting period (often 30 to 60 days) before they can begin benefits.
If you need further explanation or want to know more about your specific dental or health plan benefits, contact your dental or health insurance company for assistance.

So, I've been keeping busy, even though the blog has seen little of it!
One thing that my wardrobe has been missing is well fitted high waist pants. I've had a couple that I made in the past but sadly the last six or seven pounds I put on are stuck right on my belly... so I can wear them... but I can't breathe at the same time.
I decided what I needed most of all was to make a basic sloper block, a pants pattern fitted just for me that I could use to alter other patterns for a great fit every time!
It took quite a bit of time but resulted in these great wide leg 1970s pants! (See below for more about the sloper!)

The NXF family of proteins have emerged as playing important roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Most work has focused on NXF1 and we have recently demonstrated that the NXF1 protein regulates the expression of its own gene by binding to a Constitutive Transport Element (CTE). The CTE is present in an alternatively spliced intron and retention of this intron gives rise to a """"""""small"""""""" NXF1 protein. This small protein appears to modulate NXF1 function. The current model held by many is that NXF1 functions as the major export receptor for mRNA in organisms from Drosophila to Humans. In this model, NXF1 acts together with an """"""""essential"""""""" co-factor, NXT1. Direct RNA binding by NXF1 has been proposed to be the exception, rather than the rule. Thus NXF1 is supposed to interact only indirectly on most mRNAs, binding through RNA-binding protein adaptors, such as Aly/Ref and SR-proteins. However, data from several recent studies, including our own, cast some doubts on this model. The fact that NXF1 interacts directly with a """"""""CTE"""""""" RNA element within the NXF1 gene itself demonstrates that NXF1 can interact directly with cellular mRNA. Other data suggests that the major function of adaptor proteins may be to serve in a """"""""hand over"""""""" of NXF1 to the RNA, eventually resulting in a """"""""lock-in"""""""" on the RNA. We also have preliminary evidence to indicate that NXF proteins also function in the export of certain non-coding RNAs (for example 5S rRNA and BC200 neuronal RNA). The overall goal of this application is to learn more about the interplay between the NXF proteins and their cofactors, and to elucidate how this is used to regulate expression of RNA. The proposal has 4 specific aims:
Specific Aim 1 : To investigate the regulation of expression and function of small NXF proteins.
Specific Aim 2 : To determine if CTE function and the small NXF1 protein, are essential for general development and/or brain development.
Specific Aim 3 : To analyze the function of NXF proteins in trafficking of non-coding small RNA.
Specific Aim 4 : To analyze the function of the MusD and Alu CTEs and the role of NXF proteins in retrotransposition.
This research will focus on the NXF family of proteins that control the process of RNA export in human cells. These proteins play a major role in the development and functioning of many cells and organs in the human body. Thus, the research has relevance for the diagnosis and treatment of several genetic syndromes, cancer and other human diseases.

KEENE, N.H.--Visiting Plymouth State University scored six times in the top of the ninth inning for an 11-10 come-from-behind win over Keene State College in a Little East Conference game at Owl Athletic Complex Tuesday afternoon.
- Keene State: 10-16, 3-4 LEC
- Plymouth State: 11-11, 3-4 LEC
How It Happened
Zach Rollins, Connor Longley, Christian Bourgea, John Tarascio, and Devin Springfield each had two hits, while Springfield and Nate Rossi each had two RBI.
The Owls took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Mac Struthers and Rollins opened with back-to-back walks, and Struthers moved to third on on a flyout to center before scoring while Rollins was caught in a rundown between first and second.
The Panthers hit back with four runs in the top of the second, as Ryan Boldwin drew a walk and moved to third on a double from Nate Frederick. Jarek Krajewski then hit a three run over over the trees in right field. Cam Ruziak later came around on a wild pitch for a 4-1 lead.
Keene State grabbed another run in the second on an RBI single from Tom Meucci, and tied the game in the third when Rollins and Longley scored on consecutive wild pitches. The Owls, who had scored in each of the first three innings, were kept off the board until the fifth when they loaded the bases. Connor Walsh reached on an error, and Tarascio and Springfield singled before Rossi drew a bases loaded walk to put the Owls back in front.
A fielder's choice from Springfield in the seventh made it 6-4, but the Panthers made it a one run game on Luke Mancini's sacrifice fly to center in the top of the eighth. Keene State appeared to put the game out of sight with four runs in the bottom of the eighth. Longley and Springfield had RBI doubles in the inning, while Tarascio had an RBI fielder's choice and Rossi an RBI single that made it 10-5.
The Panthers began the comeback by opening the top of the ninth with five singles and a walk to bring in four runs. Ruziak's bunt attempt with the two runners on was fielded by KSC reliever Jeff Lunn, whose throw to third base sailed into foul territory, allowing the go-ahead run to score.
PSU reliever Dave Sampson set the Owls down in order in the bottom of the ninth.
The loss spoiled a fantastic relief effort from Andrew Houde, who came out of the bullpen to throw 6.2 innings of four hit relief, striking out six and allowing one run. Lunn (1-1) took the loss, while Dallas DeFrancesco (1-1) earned the win for the Panthers. Sampson earned his first save of the season.
Around the Horn
- Keene State had a two game home winning streak to Plymouth State snapped. The Owls had defeated the Panthers at home in each of the last two seasons.
- Bourgea had his team high 12th multi-hit game of the season. Of those 12 games, 11 have come with exactly two hits.
- Longley extended his hitting streak to a team best eight games.
Up Next
- Keene State steps out of LEC play for a road game at Westfield State University on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m.
- The Panthers return to the field on Thursday when they visit Rivier at 7:05 p.m.

Houston Wine Bars
A Guide to the Top Wine Bars in Houston
Mentioned in this article
So who's writing this guide, and are there any advertising considerations?
After reading all the way through, I'm even more curious about how the information was gathered, and who compiled it and added judgments. Since this is Snooth's first city guide packaged as such (that I've seen, anyway), it behooves you to introduce methodology, intent, positioning, what have you....
Oh, and judging by description, my guess is the photo is of 13 Celsius, not of Max's....
This picture is definitely Max's - I've been to all of these places. It's a good representation of the top wine bars in Houston, with the exception of Coffee Groundz. That's just off. I'm surprised it was chosen over the Tasting Room. Sonoma is my favorite. Really good wine list, very reasonably priced, and the large meat and cheese plate is perfect to split for two. My favorite date place.

Flexible, wearable phones – stuff from sci-fi flicks that we have all drooled over, might show up in the market as early as next year. Flexible OLED displays have earlier been demoed by several display manufacturers including Samsung, LG, and Sony. Some of them, like Sony, have been researching on bendable displays for nearly a decade; however, none of them have been able to simplify the process to make them suitable for manufacturing in bulk.
Now, reports from BBC and WSJ suggest that Samsung might be in the last phase of development of flexible OLEDS. Devices using these next generation displays will be extremely light and unbreakable, as they will be using plastic instead of glass. Lee Chang-hoon, Vice President of Samsung's display unit, confirmed that the company is currently sampling the displays with a few customers. A big challenge in creating flexible phones is that the entire assembly, including the display, battery, chipset, and the housing needs to be flexible. Mass producing such units have so far proved to be prohibitively expensive.
Reports suggest that the new flexible phones will be showcased in the first half of 2013. If that pans out, then chances are that Samsung might reveal something exciting in next year's CES and MWC.

NYPD anti-terror unit focuses on subways
A team of 104 NYPD officers is the city's first line of defense when it comes to terror threats on the subway.
The NYPD transit bureau's anti-terrorism unit is focused on uncovering threats and thwarting attacks on the subway, which has been under tighter security in the 11 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Whether on foot or scooters, officers in the unit search the MTA's busiest stations daily, largely during the morning and evening rush hours, for suspicious people and packages.
"Our main focus is the prevention of terrorism within the transit system," said Lt. Jose Medina, a 16-year police veteran who has been with the unit for more than two years. "It's an enormous responsibility, obviously, because we have millions of people who travel through the subway system."
The unit, which was created in 2010 and funded with federal stimulus money, also pitches in on Metro-North.
Though police officials wouldn't say exactly how many terror-related cases the unit has been involved with, Commissioner Ray Kelly has said there have been at least 14 terrorist plots thwarted citywide since 9/11, including some targeting the subways.
"Thank God -- knock on wood -- we haven't had any major happenings within the subway system," said Medina, 44. "We've been blessed so far."
Riders are accustomed to seeing teams of officers at busy station entrances, randomly selecting people with bags to see whether they're carrying anything that's illegal to bring into the subway system.
Don't try to slip away if you've got a bag, said Capt. Roberto Cruz. There are always at least two undercover officers watching for anyone trying to avoid police.
Cruz said the team tries to vary when and where it does bag checks, or "surges" of officers at stations, though his unit mostly focuses on the MTA's busiest and most iconic stops, including Herald Square, Penn Station, Times Square, Union Square and Grand Central Terminal.
"We try to be unpredictable," said Cruz, 36, a former Marine who has been an Air Force reservist since 2009. "It's mostly a show of force to reassure the public that we're out here doing something."
Inside the turnstiles, some officers drive around on electrically charged T-3 scooters that elevate them a few feet above most riders' heads.
"People can see you from far," said Officer Marlon Minaya, adding that being able to move at up to 12 mph helps him reach incidents more quickly.
All officers in the anti-terror unit carry radiation detectors on their belts. While the cops said it was uncommon for the detectors to go off, they might if a passing rider has recently had a stress test or undergone chemotherapy.
On a recent Tuesday morning, a sergeant and eight officers lined up outside the doors of each No. 2/3 subway car entering the 42nd Street-Times Square station, and quickly inspected the cars before giving the train's conductor an "all clear." The drill, called Train Order Maintenance Sweeps -- or "TOMS" -- would be repeated dozens of times over the 81/2-hour shift. A similar operation, Mobile Order Maintenance Sweeps -- or "MOMS" -- is done when officers ride a train and step out at each station.
Sgt. Marc Richardson, who joined the unit at its inception in 2009 after five years as a cop in Jamaica, said the different environment brought several challenges.
"You could have a subway slashing in a closed subway full of people. That's very difficult to handle," said Richardson, adding that at times he does patrols on his own, unlike some officers above ground, who drive around with a partner. "Our backup may be two, three, four stations away."

Prison officer Adrian Ismay another name added to list of dead as thugs of republicanism try to prolong Troubles
For most of us, the prison officer bombed in his car in east Belfast only acquired a name when he died.
We learned it yesterday afternoon. He was Adrian Ismay. He was 52 years old and he worked at Hydebank Young Offenders Centre.
Another man, whose name we also know, is charged with attempted murder of Mr Ismay. We learned his name after he appeared in court. He is Christopher Robinson, from Twinbrook. A court will decide what role, if any, he had in the matter.
We do not know - and perhaps we will never know - the names of the people who conceived the idea of killing Mr Ismay, who made the bomb and delivered it.
The thinking of the anonymous republican purists who are currently trying to extend the Troubles and make some impact close to Easter was outlined in their statement.
They call themselves the IRA. They are perhaps as entitled as any other group to use that name. Who cares? Most of us are little impressed by the philosophical distinctions these killer groups make between themselves and each other.
They say they attacked him because he was training other prison officers - something that could only be an offence in the minds of those who think that there should not be any prison officers, or at least not any trained ones.
Please log in or register with belfasttelegraph.co.uk for free access to this article.
Maybe they would prefer the prisons to be run by people who are not trained at all. Of course, what they are saying is that the Prison Service has no legitimate right to hold or discipline republican militants, people whose only allegiance is to a republic declared in 1916 and which is in some way real to them as a heaven filled with pliable virgins is real to the jihadis. All of this is tiresome.
And as the shocking news came through yesterday afternoon that Mr Ismay had died, some of us will have felt it like a sinking in the stomach and some will have blocked it out and turned their minds to other things, and some will hardly have noticed, because you cannot notice everything.
And though it was never likely that he or his family had adjusted already to the horror that had been brought upon them by that pointless bomb, the rest of us had moved on.
The attack was off the news agenda. We could carry on without thinking about it.
And hadn't the reports said that his injuries were not life-threatening?
And hadn't nearly half-a-dozen other bombs - all neutralised - been found since the attack, proving that we are as safe as we expect to be and that the old diehards are not up to much anyway? Then Mr Ismay died.
The First Minister, who had the compassion and decency to stay in touch, had sent him a text before heading off to the US to drum up trade.
One wonders how Mrs Foster discusses these things with her deputy, Martin McGuinness, who is a relatively recent convert to the idea that you should not blow people up.
Might it be the moment to recollect in conversation with him how she was herself bombed on a school bus? Or would she perhaps think it is better not to mention that?
The Chief Constable says he has to wait for medical reports to determine whether the crime of attempted murder should be upgraded to murder.
Certainly, those who bombed Mr Ismay wanted him dead. And now he is dead.
But legal minds must now parse the relevance of the bomb to the outcome so that justice might be done to the bomber, and he or she not be held unfairly accountable for succeeding in what he or she was trying to do - to kill Adrian Ismay. Church people and politicians will commiserate and we journalists will have our say and write our headlines.
Some, new to the work, will bring fresh minds to condemnation and analysis. Some of us have been doing this for decades, trying to comprehend the point and imagining sometimes that we do.
And, by the evidence of the past, none of our words will have any effect on the strange, dull-minded thugs among us for whom the Troubles did not go on long enough.

promotor has been at home in the training and consulting business for more than 40 years. We grew up with the automotive industry, yet we are also familiar with other industries and business areas.
Training, coaching, consulting or dealer net development? Whatever the issue, we focus on pragmatic, hands-on solutions, innovative, sustainable and individual concepts for our customers. Passion for the job and respect for our customers are what make us stand out.
Every day we look for and work on finding new solutions to create added value for our customers and exceed expectations. Measurable results are a given for us, but it is people and their enthusiasm for product and brand that are our main concern. To see the big picture while keeping an eye on detail. That is how we raise the bar with our customers, so we can finally vault it together.
Customers don't buy a drill, they buy the hole in the wall – a new way to think about segmentation
Jobs-to-be-done theory – Eckard Böhme
Eckart Böhme was head of Microsoft's international training development in Edmond, USA for many years. Since his return he has been looking at ways to implement the jobs-to-be-done theory.
This theory was developed by Clayton Christensen, a leading thinker of innovative management and Harvard Business School professor. At present, many enterprises are acting on the assumption that the market is segmented according to demographic customer characteristics and corresponding product features.
The novel view: The customer has a job that needs to be done. He chooses the product or service best suited to do that job. This can mean that the competitor of a Harley Davidson won't be Honda, but an electric guitar.
The interesting question, then, is to find out the following: What is the job the customer wants done?
We are presently evaluating interviews conducted with our customers and are looking forward to the results as well as the tasks (the jobs-to-be-done).
360 °-Service Analysis: More revenue and increased customer satisfaction in service
The workshop and its service team constitute one of the main bases of revenue in a car dealership. These higher earning opportunities should, however, be used in the best possible and an individually adapted way. Each dealership is unique and faces its own special challenges. Strengths and weaknesses are distributed differently.
And this is where the promotor 360 °-service analysis comes in. Our health check is customized for the dealership and analyses all important workshop processes and that way uncovers important unused potential. As for implementation, we focus on the three most important points in the workshop process of the respective dealership and define measurable goals in cooperation with all concerned.
Our coaches have many years of hands-on experience in Aftersales and give result-oriented support to make the most of hidden potential.
We would be happy to develop a suitable coaching concept for you. The classic way with on-site coach visits, completely digital via the promotor Campus, or as a combination of both – it's up to you!
he so-called Diesel crisis – an opportunity for those who know how to deal with and make the most of it
Used cars are and are going to remain an important source of revenue for car dealers.
If you don't run your used-car business professionally, you may find yourself facing great financial risks. Too many stock days, accruals for losses and allowances can be frustrating for the dealer and put the new-car business at risk. Not to mention customer satisfaction when trade-ins become a problem for the customer.
Back in April 2017 we adjusted our consulting concept to a challenging used-car situation. The goal: All dealerships professionally advised by promotor make good money with used cars – come what may.
The figures speak for themselves: Contrary to the overall trend in Germany, average stock days for both petrol and diesel cars have decreased and gross revenue has increased. It is the same as always in consulting: There is no such thing as the average. Every business partner has opportunities as well as risks in the used-car business, right now the important thing is to make the most of the former.
The basic concept necessary to do just that takes the individual situation of the dealership into account and comprises different strategies. The success factors are always the same:
- A professional used-car consultant
- Digital analyses of stock and lead times
- Develop a local/regional strategy for additional purchases
- Prompt and professional used-car processes and procedures in the dealership
- Good cooperation between the technical divisions/departments in the dealership
- Early involvement of the customer (private and commercial)
- Don't alienate customers and stall trade-ins, but have solutions in store
- National and international sales concepts– digital and analogue (e.g. AUTO1.com)
- Realistic pricing
- A short-term release of capital and a long-term revenue strategy with minimal no. of stock days
- Additional purchases of fast-turning merchandise
- Long-term rentals and short-term rental concept
- Optimal volume

E-Mobility Germany / China Lecture Series Xing Lai (Awakening)
Together with Christian Heep, vice president of BEM, and supported by Automechanika Frankfurt, promotor's managing director Andreas Serra was able to present e-mobility developments in China and Europe in various talks given in China.
In these talks Christian Heep assumes the role of the German e-mobility advocate with profound, consolidated knowledge, while Andrea Serra represents the interests and possibilities of the car manufacturers. This results in a highly interesting talk that elaborates the differences in services, products and markets between Europe and China. Where do the challenges lie, what is required and how could it work? You can watch and download the pdf here – without the interesting discussion, though.

E-Mobility – 2017 significantly better than 2016
Autumn 2017: Diesel gate, IAA (International Automobile Fair) and general elections in Germany! Manufacturers who – at least for the time being – are getting away with software solutions, cheated customers, dealers left out on a limb, citizens whose health has been impaired, drivers of diesel-powered vehicles fearing bans on driving, an International Automobile Fair to make you cringe with vicarious embarrassment as far as e-mobility is concerned, and an election campaign in which most political parties continue to support diesel engines. About registrations …
Note on Registrations:
The following statistics are based on a definition of "electric vehicle" according to which solely mass-production vehicles with a purely electric range of more than 50 kilometres are considered. The result represents a cross-model overview of registrations of purely electric and hybrid passenger vehicles in Germany.
The chart shows the registration period January to August 2017.
Market leader from January to August 2017 was the Audi A3, S3 with 3,277 units and a market share of 14.69%, followed by the Renault Zoe with 3,266 new registrations and a market share of 14.64% and the BMW i3 with 2,623 new registrations and a market share of 11.76%. The Kia Soul with 1,728 new registrations and a market share of 7,75% has replaced the Mitsubishi Outlander in position 4.
Top 10 Registrations of Electric Passenger Vehicles (Germany) Jan. – Aug. 2017
2017 significantly better than 2016!
New registrations of electric passenger vehicles in total (Germany) 2016/2017
July and August 2017 show a significant drop in new registrations.

Video Training – get information to the dealerships fast and nation-wide
Topics such as diesel, European emission standards and bans on driving are increasingly dominating the media causing uncertainty and insecurity among customers and dealers alike. Results are a reluctance to buy as far as customers are concerned and shrinking revenue for the dealers. That explains why, despite a positive development of the overall market, many dealers are facing risks threatening their very existence. Link to a poll conducted during the automobile week.
promotor is looking closely into the subject and is preparing suitable online trainings.
- Proper rationale in reference to diesel
- Risk evaluation of the used-car stock and the return of leased diesel vehicles
Dealership staff have to stand firm like a rock and reassure confused and nervous customers with crystal-clear, well-founded information in order to make a deal these days.
Living Change!
"Living change!" was the motto when promotor invited its team, its trainers, coaches and consultants to exchange ideas on future challenges in the automotive industry. The team deliberately wanted to bow out of day-to-day business and adjourn to the Mainz Atrium Hotel to take the time to think, to discuss and exchange ideas, to plan, to be together.
What are the challenges the automotive industry, promotor's customers and, thus, promotor itself will be facing in the next years, where is the market, where are we headed?
The event began with dinner together, a chance for "old" colleagues to meet again and for "new" ones to introduce themselves. Reminiscences of projects carried out together and anecdotes from old times showed clearly that promotor and its partners are and have always been a good team! An optimal basis for joint work on new strategies.

E-Mobility in Germany – 2016 a weak year!
Despite an environmental bonus, 2016 was a weak year for e-mobility in Germany with all in all even less new e-registrations than in 2015. While there seems to have been a slight increase in September thanks to the environmental bonus, this was quick to peter out in the following months.
In the meantime, China is going the whole hog, its smog problem demanding action. To this end a quota for electronic vehicles is planned for the near future. From as soon as 2018, 8% of any vehicles sold in China will have to be e-powered, 10% from 2019 and 12% from 2020. Should manufacturers fail to comply, they will have to reduce production or buy credit points from other car manufacturers. China is an important market for German manufacturers.
Compared to those measures, an environmental bonus seems more like a statement of intent for an emission-free future. Then again, it isn't smog that is the biggest issue for Germans in this context. It is, among other things, the fact that in Germany to date 5 million jobs directly or indirectly depend on combustion engines (petrol or Diesel). But all that has been said before and the change from petrol or Diesel to e-power won't be happening tomorrow.
Interim result environmental bonus as per 01.01.2017
The Federal Office for Economic and Export Control (Bundesamt für Wirtschafts- und Ausfuhrkontrolle, BAFA) has presented a second interim result for the state of applications for an environmental bonus. According to this, a total of 9,023 applications had been placed as per 01.01.2017 (against 5,782 as per 31.10.2016). 5,192 (3,343) applications were made for entirely battery-powered e-vehicles, 3,892 (2,438) for plug-in hybrids and 2 (1) for fuel-cell vehicles.
The top 5 applications per manufacturer
All in all, 4,403 individuals (3,078) and 4,461 companies (2,621) put in an application. The winner is the BMW i3 with a total of 1,567 (1,025) applications, followed by the Audi A3 with 1,188 (700) applications and the Renault Zoe Intens (with battery rent) with 899 (601) applications.

E-Mobility Knows neither Bounds nor Borders
The CAMM conference will take place during the Automechanika Shanghai – the 9th China Auto, Electronic and Electrical Appliances Industry & China Auto Meeting. The focus this year will be on new energy vehicles.
Together with BEM Vice President Christian Heep, Andreas Serra is going to present the situation of e-mobility worldwide in the Crown Plaza Shanghai. From facts and prospects a clear picture emerges, a picture in which China, surely in part due to its 5-year planning, is leading the number of e-registrations by far. What Europe has achieved in 5 years, China managed in one. For details please see attached pdf presentation in our free download.
We would like to thank our partner Automechanika for their invitation to Shanghai.
The Commercial Vehicle Business – Profitable/Cash Cow through Specialisation

Have fun reading – and success implementing. We will be happy to assist you with our expertise.
E-Mobility and Business Leadership
In cooperation with the Bundesverband mittelständische Wirtschaft (Association of Medium-sized Companies) and Tesla Motors, the Crestcom Leadership Schools Germany and promotor hosted an event out of the ordinary.
With the slogan "Steering is for the captain / the boss' prerogative" 30 company leaders from Hesse were given the opportunity to steer a Tesla. Interesting and informative talks on the topics "e-mobility" and, true to the slogan, "Steering of enterprises and business leadership" completed an impressive driving experience.
E-Mobility – Environmental Bonus is not taking off!
In our article last June, we were still hoping for exciting registration figures for July and August, but today we must admit: figures are anything but … The environmental bonus is not taking off! According to the Federal Office for Economic and Export Control (Bundesamt für Wirtschafts- und Ausfuhrkontrolle, BAFA) just 3,027 applications for a bonus were registered by the end of August, equalling 0.8% of the sum total available!
E-Mobility 2016 – Try again
With 20,957 new registrations, 2015 wasn't a glorious year, especially compared to international standards. And 2016 has started off sluggishly! In January, there were just 1,055 new registrations while there was a slight increase in February with 1,515. Reluctance to buy might be due to potential customers waiting for details on the bonus for purchasing an electric vehicle announced by the Federal Government. Moreover, fuel costs are at an all-time low. On the other hand, 2015 didn't really start off much better with 1,142 new registrations in January and 948 in February.
These statistics are based on a definition of what constitutes an "electric vehicle". Under this definition, only production vehicles with a purely electrical range of at least 50 km are included, resulting in cross-brand registration statistics of entirely e-powered and hybrid vehicles in the sector passenger cars for Germany..
