- Deadly Words: Witchcraft in the Bocage by Jeanne Favret-Saada, translated by C. Cullen
Cambridge, 271 pp, £17.50, December 1980, ISBN 0 521 22317 2
Jeanne Favret-Saada's book, Deadly Words, subtitled 'Witchcraft in the Bocage', deals with a subject of abiding fascination. While there are always people who readily admit to practising good or 'white' witchcraft for the benefit of their fellow mortals, witchcraft is usually defined negatively as the ability to cause others harm by the use of one's psychic power. For historians and social anthropologists, most of whom do not themselves believe in the reality of witchcraft (good or bad), the problem is to decide how to interpret such beliefs when they occur in the cultures and civilisations we study. Until quite recently, the florid 'witchcraft crazes' of earlier centuries in Europe have generally perplexed and embarrassed historians, provoking extreme explanations for such ostensibly bizarre beliefs. For Professor Hugh Trevor-Roper, writing in 1967, this involved an appeal to the atmospherics of the precarious Alpine settings in which some of our ancestors lived. Their curious witchcraft fantasies, he suggested, might be traced to the swirling mists and rarified air of stormy mountain peaks. Social anthropologists are by no means averse to the attractions of theories based on environmental determinism. But since the publication, over forty years ago, of Evans-Pritchard's Witchcraft, Oracles and Magic among the Azande, they have been in the fortunate position of possessing a key to the understanding of these beliefs which makes such reductionist theories redundant. Indeed, since this book was published, the problem has become not so much, 'Why do some people believe in witchcraft?' but rather: 'Why doesn't everybody?'

Affluence Network Leader Package
Thank you for visiting TAN in looking for "Affluence Network Leader Package" online.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they be a part of more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to suggest that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no need for substantial amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on earth market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
This mining action validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it isn't recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see forever.
Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it's more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be realized by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous.
Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in cash financing, it really is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you happen to be demanded fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. You are able to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a reasonable investment strategy.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers claim that there is "actual" value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value climbs due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades resides. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason for this could be merely that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It truly is also possible the regulators simply don't understand the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act.
In case of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could even be dealt being a commodity. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this sort of personal cash isn't governed with a fundamental bank system and is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted amount of items, this money's price is dependant on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to industry over cryptocurrency deals.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a stable stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the benefit.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is only a representation of worth, but there isn't any genuine tangible type of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their wealth will be managed.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the process by which it is transacted. All transactions over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. Once youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something temporary where your visitors can dispute or require a concessions, or employ dishonest sleight of palm. In practice, most merchants will be wise to work with a payment processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto currency deals, you must be sure that safety is tricky. With any kind of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially gain access to your personal recommendations and therefore grab your cash. Sadly, you probably will never obtain it back. It's vitally important for you yourself to follow some excellent secure and safe practices when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this can protect you from all of these bad activities.

A lot of people choose to use a currency deflation, especially individuals who need to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal solitude, for instance, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living pay check to pay check, it would happen as part of your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies.
You've probably seen this often where you frequently distribute the good word about crypto. "It's not erratic? What happens when the cost crashes? " sofar, several POS systems delivers free conversion of fiat, improving some matter, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people is likely to be resistant to put up any. We need to discover a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the right area at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these companies determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it repaired. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't necessary to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's essentially crucial that you comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them today where Governments and banks can only select to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company which could lead to company being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation.

It's definitely possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities no matter market behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be okay.
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times)
It should be challenging to get more modest increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having modest increases is more lucrative than attempting to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to examine books than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there's more volatility and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.

Posted 9/28/11 (Wed)
Once in awhile, but not often, I've strayed from ranching. I suppose most ranchers in the western Dakotas have done this. But the high gas prices and oil boom got me to reminiscing. It was the oil boom in the 80s.
Most of us have struggled through droughts and blizzards and floods and low cattle prices. We've suffered with scours, pneumonia, and coccidiosis. We've had frozen ears and rat tails and broken legs and snake bites. We've tipped over trucks and horses and burned up balers and haystacks. We've missed the market highs by months and hit the lows to the minute. And we just keep on ranching and doing the best that we can. All of this was hitting lots of us in the 80s.
My brother-in-law and I decided to go into the construction business. Oil field construction. We didn't really have any equipment, just an old D6 Caterpillar, but we didn't let that deter us. We figured if we got a job, we could get equipment. No use investing a lot of money we didn't have in something we didn't need. But we hung our shingle out and visited a few well sites and drilling companies. And then we waited.
Our first call came on a December night during a blizzard. A well site down on Bear Den needed a dozer to push snow off a location. But the catch was, we had to have the dozer there by morning. I quickly accepted. Not knowing where Lynn or the dozer was. Lynn was staying down at Murphy's during the storm. The phones were out and the road into the ranch was blocked. Not wanting to miss our big chance, I headed for the mountains to find Lynn. I walked in the last half mile and woke Lynn up. The dozer was up on the reservation, about twenty miles from where we needed it. We didn't have a truck or trailer.
It was about two in the morning, around zero, and pretty nasty when we reached the D6 and got her running. We were going to walk that dozer about twenty miles in the dark to this well site. It was pretty darn cold on that dozer. You could hardly hold onto your beer. Not really. You decide. I was running her down the road ditch and that snow was boiling over those tracks and blowing in my face. I looked at that old blacktop road and decided Highway 22 was frozen hard enough to support that old 6. I pulled her up on the road, put her in reverse, and backed that 6 down the highway for five miles. Sparks just flying.
When daylight came, we were sitting on that well site, and on the payroll. That old dozer sat on that location for a couple of months. Either on standby, or working. There would never be another poor day.
Eventually, Lynn found out how good an operator I was, and I had to go back to ranching. But for a couple of months, I fooled a lot of people!
And now with another boom here, I have to recall the old bumper sticker that was popular years ago, "Please God, give me one more oil boom. I promise not to **** this one away!"

EntoBento Family Spotlight: Lindsay & Waffles
Lindsay LaShell is a San Diego native and up-and-coming entrepreneur in our digital marketing world. She's the proud owner of the one-year-old digital marketing agency, Diamond & Branch, and the even prouder owner of her eight year old dog Waffles.
Met Waffles at a house party when he was 8 months old. His owner at the time had many dogs and saw that Waffles and Lindsay had a special connection. He offered to have Lindsay adopt Waffles but the very next day Lindsay was going to the UK to visit her sister. Lindsay fell in love with Scotland and decided to live there. After maxing out her visa, she moved back to San Diego and as fate would have it, three years later ends up at the same house for a Christmas party. Waffles was still there and the owner's offer still stood with Lindsay. Lindsay agreed, immediately moved to a dog friendly apartment and took in Waffles.
Now an 8 year old, he's a mix of many breeds. Like his owner, Waffles is an avid learner. He's clicker trained with a repertoire of tricks and is highly responsive to his name being called.
Waffles at work, been a part of the agency at the beginning especially on social media. As people go in and out of the office he always greets them with a gracious hello and goodbye, which bodes well for the business' commitment to customer experience.
LINDSAY's TAKE ON SUSTAINABILITY
"The sustainability message behind Entobento is what originally got me fired up about the product," Lindsay said. Lindsay started her own personal green movement years ago. Her strategy was to start with one small thing, commit to it, and build from there. Her first initiative was to not use any paper or plastic when grocery shopping. There were even times when she forgot her tote bag, that she would drive home and get it.
Starting on New Years day 2016 she vowed to give up beef until the California drought is over (for those who didn't know, 1 pound of beef required 2,000 gallons of water to produce! That's equal to how much water you drink in 11 years!). She recommends that everyone try to take their own small green initiative and spread the word.

The ubiquity of offal in the current culinary landscape signals that Westerns have (re)developed a taste for nose-to-tail eating. But that doesn't mean we enjoy looking at the blood, guts, and entrails of a beast -- particularly in its raw form.
Here are eight foods that might be more appropriate in a horror flick than on a plate. Of course, we realize that these foods -- when cooked -- are some of the world's finest and revered delicacies; still, the raw versions might make some a little squeamish.
Tripe, or stomach lining, is a popular item because -- like tofu -- it has subtle flavor and usually takes on the flavors of the other ingredients. Traditional tripe preparations include simmering with onions or slow-cooking it in soups and stews.
Steak and kidney pie, anyone? Most people have probably sampled kidney at least once in their life; it's versatile, accessible, and a great source of iron. In addition to the traditional pie, it's also great stewed in wine, tomato, or white sauce.
Sausage is often made by stuffing seasoned ground meat into a casing made of intestine. But these intestine-wrapped organs really take that concept to the next level!
Some cultures believe that eating testicles increases sexual vigor. No wonder Rocky Mountain Oysters are so very popular.
For people who like texture, tongue is a great choice. It's tough and chewy and must be cooked -- ideally braised! -- for a long period of time.
If you can get that scene from Godfather out of your head, you might just discover why many people find lamb's head to be so very delicious. A popular Italian recipe called Capozzelli Di Agnelli bakes it with garlic, butter, olive oil, salt, oregano, and black pepper.
Sweetbreads -- otherwise known as glands or pancreas -- are quite delicious in a variety of preparations, particularly when breaded and fried.
Last but certainly not least: the heart, which is a great source of protein and nutrients. Heart, if cooked long enough, often passes as beef -- really rich and chewy beef, that is.
What's your favorite "horror movie" meat?

The special finance (SF) market has opened back up, leading some dealers to focus their attention on SF processes. In late 2010, Dealer Jill Merriam Dulitsky decided it was time to inspect such processes at Key Hyundai, which consists of two stores, one in Manchester, Conn., and the other in Milford, Conn.
The catalyst for her focus on special finance was seeing what an "amazing job" other dealers were doing in their SF departments. After joining a marketing group called the Rich Dealers Institute, she met several dealers who were successful with SF and over time learned about their operations. This led her to examine her own stores to determine why they were lacking in SF and how they could improve. "Just through seeing bureaus and DealerTrack, I knew we had plenty of [subprime] opportunities walking through the door," she said. "I started to realize that we had absolutely no process whatsoever [for handling special finance]."
Opportunity had been knocking, and she was ready to open the door. So, the next step was to uncover and implement the proper processes. "I started asking around within the [Rich Dealers Institute] about where I could go to get trained on special finance, and Greg Goebel's name came back 8 million times over."
First, she tackled job descriptions and pay plans. "We were structurally set up for disaster. Every time someone said, 'I need another manager,' we would just go ahead and hire somebody and put them on a pay plan. We would never actually [consider the] overall impact … on our financial statement." This practice, coupled with exorbitant sales manager pay plans, led to things being "completely out of whack," said Dulitsky.
Obviously, pay plans at the Key stores had to evolve, and it's not easy to tell employees that their pay plans are about to change. Initially, she was worried about how employees would respond to the news, but they responded well. She believed they took the news better than expected because they knew greener pastures were ahead. They'd already sat through Goebel's training, which helped employees to understand her vision for the dealerships' future. Plus, when she explained the coming changes to them, she told them they were going to generate more business, which meant the employees would soon have the opportunity to make more money.
The pay plans are now performance-based with minimum acceptable requirements. She was able to get pay plans closer to benchmark levels, and now, since business has improved significantly, the managers are making "as much if not more money" than before. The new performance-based pay plans also shed light on who was earning their keep. "Once you put people on a pay-for-performance pay plan, the good separate from the mediocre, and that definitely happened." In Milford, the store has almost a completely new management team.
The hiring process at Key Hyundai has benefitted from implementing well-defined job descriptions and the new pay plans. In the past when hiring, she said they would ask prospective managers how they planned to grow sales, then hire managers based on their proposed plans, and "hope and pray" the new managers' plans "would actually happen." She said, "Now that we're more structured, it's just so much easier to go to someone and say, 'Here's your job description. Here's your pay plan. This is what you're expected to do.'"
The next issue on the to-do list was getting the dealerships' used car inventories in order. "We took a big write-down on our used car inventory to get it in line," said Dulitsky. Her current goal is to get everything to $500 behind NADA clean trade so they can properly structure their special finance deals.
Prior to the push to improve special finance, there was no "rhyme or reason" to used inventory acquisition at Key. Now, there's a set process in place for stocking the lot that's based on solid numbers. The stores use a system that segments used vehicles into four tiers based on model year, price, credit tier and finance companies. For example, a vehicle in Tier Two is model year 2007 or newer, has fewer than 50,000 miles, is used for a non-prime deal, and is a likely fit for Wells Fargo, Capital One, GM Financial/AmeriCredit or Santander.
The dealership's used car buyers examine the number of vehicles in each tier that recently sold and the number of vehicles per tier currently in stock, and purchase accordingly. Stocking levels should match the selling levels; for example, if 10 percent of vehicles sold are Tier Three, then 10 percent of the in-stock inventory should be Tier Three vehicles. Since instituting this system, Dulitsky said, "Now I can't imagine living without [the tiered buying system]."
The dealerships are having issues with new cars as well, but not because of processes. Rather, it's due to Hyundai's major increase in sales, which has depleted the manufacturer's supply of new cars and made new Hyundais a hot commodity. "We cannot get enough new cars in. If we had another 100, we would have sold them." Once Hyundai adjusts and is able to keep up with demand, Key Hyundai will be primed to grow new car sales.
With personnel issues and the used vehicle inventory in order, it was time to get to the heart of Dulitsky's goal for the dealership and focus on special finance processes. The two stores averaged fewer than 40 SF deals per month, combined, before Goebel came into the store in late 2010. In July 2011, they closed a combine total of 80 SF deals. Overall, prime and subprime, the stores sell about 230 vehicles per month, with the Milford store selling about 150 and Manchester selling about 80. Instead of having separate departments for prime finance customers and SF customers, the stores operate with blended departments and have cross-trained salespeople and F&I employees to properly handle SF customers.
"Just through seeing bureaus and DealerTrack, I knew we had plenty of [subprime] opportunities walking through the door. I started to realize that we had absolutely no process whatsoever [for handling special finance]."
To get customers in the door, the dealerships rely on a shared BDC, which is in the Milford store and employs five business development representatives and a manager. The BDC answers all incoming calls, works leads and sets appointments for salespeople. "We've had [a BDC] for a while … we've just plugged along with it," said Dulitsky, who implemented the BDC in February 2010.
She hired a new BDC manager in May 2011, with the goal of getting the dealership closing 10 percent of leads worked by the BDC. The stores were closing about 6 percent of leads in May, and as of the first of August, the BDC had improved to closing about 8 percent. While those numbers may seem low to some dealers, she's pleased with the increase so far, considering the quality of some of the leads. The BDC works about 1,300 leads a month. About half of the leads are squeeze-page leads, which traditionally have a lower closing rate (bringing down the closing average).
The squeeze page is on the dealerships' website, KeyCars.com, and it requires online shoppers to enter their names, email addresses and phone numbers before browsing the pre-owned inventory. While some may question the use of the squeeze page, Dulitsky said it's "hugely increased our lead count" and resulted in more sales. The BDC also works purchased leads from Santander's RoadLoans program and Dealerlink. She said, "We have had huge success with [Dealerlink leads]," which are closing above-average compared to the other leads.
Also providing a steady stream of leads is radio advertising, which runs two weeks a month promoting the dealerships. Those leads don't always get directly attributed to the radio advertising, though, because the ads drive people online, so the leads are often attributed to the website or squeeze page. She said. "There are significantly [fewer] phone calls now than I think there have ever been. It's really more Internet leads." She knows the radio ads are effective because the online "lead count kicks up by about 50 percent when the radio [advertising] goes on." While the radio ads don't contain a heavy subprime message, they include a line or two about how the dealerships are equipped to work with subprime credit customers.
To identify subprime customers early in the sales process, salespeople say to customers, "Welcome to Key Hyundai. My name is … Would you like to take 30 seconds to get pre-qualified for guaranteed credit approval?" However, subprime buyers aren't always identified simply by the greeting. To help the dealership identify subprime credit customers early in the sales process, the dealership uses ProMax's Instant Screen product.
Before a salesperson demos or shows a car, he or she must bring the customer's driver's license to the desk so that it can be swiped. Once swiped, Instant Screen performs a soft credit pull, which doesn't require prior authorization from a customer like a hard pull does. A soft credit pull does, however, require that an offer of credit be given to the customer, which Dulitsky said ProMax handles for the dealership.
Based on information in the soft credit pull, Instant Screen assigns the customer to one of 10 tiers that are defined by credit. The store then has an idea of what the person's credit score is, within 50 points. She said, "If the salesman misjudges a customer and wants to go show them a $50,000 car, it gives you a second option to say, 'Wait a second. Let's slow down and get a credit app.'"
While the dealerships have reached their initial the goal of selling 10 more SF units per month per store, the business has improved overall, said Dulitsky (so much so that they need more office space). She said, "I have nowhere to sit. I sacrificed my office completely." They hired another finance manager at the Milford store, where Dulitsky's former office is now a second finance office.
While Key Hyundai has made a lot of changes, one aspect of special finance it was already prepared for was having the subprime finance companies on board. "We [already] had a pretty good mix of finance companies," she said. They did add a couple subprime finance companies, but she focused more on developing better relationships with current companies and representatives.
"We typically find that when there's a good local rep, the relationship gets a lot further," she said. She offered praise for a couple specific finance companies. "We have an amazing rep from Santander … and Hyundai [Motor Finance] is buying more full-spectrum. If we've made a mistake and can't get something hung somewhere, Hyundai will typically step up and help us."
Conversely, one area where there was room for improvement was funding. "I was pulling my hair out over funding," said Dulitsky. "Now, [managers] don't get paid their bonuses until all deals are funded for the month. That took care of it." She estimated the dealerships' improved average funding time is eight to nine days for subprime deals.
As a result of all these changes and improvements, the stores are selling more cars and grosses have increased and stabilized. "Prior to this, we'd have a good grossing month, a bad grossing month, a good grossing month, a bad grossing month. And now our grosses have gone up, and we've consistently been on our financial statement all in about $3,000 a car including new, used, subprime."

As I told you in this post, I was a bit busy these last weeks so that explain the lack of posting. Sorry about that.
Last week, I took my first lesson with my horse. I've always been a "western" girl but now I wanted to try something new so a friend of mine is giving me some classic lessons. My horse has been on a perpetual break for the last 4-5 years, living his lazy horse life in the field and going out from time to time for a short trail. But now it's serious business my friends! We've worked every 2 days this week and I'm sure he hasn't trotted that much in the last year that he did this week. But that's OK because he really needs to lose a couple hundred of pounds. Sounds a lot? Not for a horse. He should lose at least 150 pounds to reach his healthy weight. This is part of why I'm taking lessons. He's got a leg injury 6 years ago and from time to time he will start to limp for no apparent reason. So losing weight will help him. The other reason I'm taking these lessons is because as much as I love going on the trail with him, I would love to have something else to do with him. And maybe working will also help him to focus on something else than little stressful things like butterflies and moving leaves when we ride outside. He's so nervous that sometimes it's dangerous for both of us. Working will help him to focus but it will also reinforce the confidence he has in me. Well at least I hope so!
Last night while we were walking the dogs, Rufio started to play and run after something that I supposed was a grass-snake or a toad. But when I went to look at who he was bothering, I found a nest with 4 little baby birds in it. The nest was built on the floor which in my opinion was not a good idea, miss mommy bird. They looked OK even if they weren't moving but I saw them inhaling so we just let them there without touching them while the mommy bird was shouting at us and we make sure that the dogs don't go back to them. But I was still worried that Rufio has hit them with his big paw and hurt them so this morning I went back to make sure they were OK and all I found was an empty nest and a cat pee smell...I really wish that nothing bad happened to them. They were full of feathers so maybe they just went away. I'll go back tonight to see if they're back and I will cross my fingers until then. We're not lucky with the birds lately. It's sad because I love them actually.
Have a great weekend!

Until now, I have avoided chocolate confections. But seriously these are so easy it would be mean not to make them for your Valentine or your coworkers or yourself for next Monday's episode of The Bachelor. All you need is a microwave (and if you don't have one check your office break room or 7-11, there's always a microwave to use somewhere).
Chocolate Truffles (Credit Alton Brown's crazyface)
- 10 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
- 3 Tbs unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 Tbs light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa powder, or powdered sugar, or both
- 8 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
- Optional syrup to flavor chocolate (like raspberry or peppermint, or irish cream)
- Optional toppings like nuts or white chocolate, sprinkles who cares
1. Place 10 oz of chocolate chips and the butter into a microwave safe bowl and nuke for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat once more.
2. Heat the cream and corn syrup in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and pour it over just melted chocolate. Let this sit for 5 minutes without stirring, then, when you can't take it any longer, stir until the cream and the chocolate combine.
3. Pour the chocolate onto a flat dish like a plate or baking pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
4.Just before taking the chocolate out of the fridge, heat the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave in thirty second increments until it has melted. Stir in syrups, if you have any. Arrange the powdered sugar or cocoa powder on plates near the melted chocolate. Save a space to set the truffles once they have been coated and dusted.
I put some superfine espresso grounds in the cocoa powder on the left to make some mocha truffles. I highly recommend this.
5. Take the cooled chocolate out of the fridge and use a melon baller or circular teaspoon measure (really just whatever you've got lying around) to scoop the chocolate into bite-sized balls. Don't worry if it's not perfectly round, its chocolate so it won't matter.
6. Drop the chocolate ball into the melted chocolate, and push it around with a spoon to coat it completely. Toss the chocolate in the powdered topping of your choice and set it aside to cool.
Eat them all right away. Refrigerate them and eat them later. Put them in fancy-schmancy box. Share them with someone you love.

Step 6 of 6 Step Program
It is important for workplace health programs to collect information in order to keep track of progress and to determine if their goals have been met. Evaluating the impact of the program on the organization and employees is necessary. Specifically, program evaluation generates the information needed to guide the development of more effective workplace health initiatives. It's also important to keep in mind the length of time your workplace health initiative/program has been in operation. Most workplace health promotion strategies do not see immediate results. In fact, research tells us that most often it takes 5 to 10 years to see significant pay-offs from workplace health programs (The Health Communication Unit).

Members were entertained at the Christmas party by the Year 3 Choir from St Peter and St Paul Primary School, who sang carols with enthusiasm resplendent in tinsel, reindeer antlers and Santa hats.
The proceeds from the Christmas raffle of £186 were donated to the school's charity, Samaritan's Purse, which delivers Christmas shoebox parcels to children in need across the world.
U3A - a University of the Third Age - is aimed at older people and allows members to share a variety of education, creative and leisure-based activities.
These are organised in small groups that meet regularly, and members are able to share knowledge, skills and experience with each other.
Groups meet in Bexhill and Little Common, and Hastings, and members decide for themselves what will be the content of their meeting, getting together weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
The U3A Movement consists of local U3As all over the UK, which are charities in their own right and are run entirely by volunteers. U3As offer the chance to study more than 300 different subjects in such fields as art, languages, music, history, life sciences, and philosophy.

$7 million Business Attraction Fund for Northern Adelaide Food Park
The next stage of the Northern Adelaide Food Park is underway, with $7 million funding available to attract food and beverage processors, manufacturers, packaging and logistics businesses looking to locate at the new industry hub to create jobs, increase exports, and stimulate economic growth.
The Food Park will be located at Edinburgh Parks, instead of the site initially selected at Parafield Airport's Cross Keys precinct.
A $7 million Food Park Business Attraction Fund is now available to help businesses looking to relocate to an innovative, smart and central food manufacturing area.
Existing food and beverage businesses located at the Food Park site in Edinburgh Parks, as well as international and interstate businesses looking to relocate to South Australia, may also be eligible to apply to the State Government's $200 million Future Jobs Fund.
There are currently four well-known and reputable South Australian companies who are in negotiation to sign on as tenants of the Food Park.
Premier Jay Weatherill said he is thrilled to announce the $7 million Food Park Business Attraction Fund, which will help businesses relocate to reach local, national and international markets quickly.
"South Australia is a global leader in growing clean and green produce and the food industry continues to grow at a record rate," Mr Weatherill said.
"In December, our food and wine revenue hit a record $18.64 billion and created 3400 jobs in the past year and we're pleased to continue supporting this industry through the Northern Adelaide Food Park and these grants."
Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries Leon Bignell said the $7 million in grant funding presents a fantastic opportunity for businesses wanting to be involved in the Food Park.
"The Food Park reflects our commitment to assist businesses in the food and beverage sector to flourish – and create jobs," Minister Bignell said.
"I would like to thank the management team at Parafield Airport Limited for the work they have done on this project. Both sides worked hard on the proposal, but in the end the companies we have been talking to found the site at Edinburgh Parks more attractive.
"It's fantastic interest in the Food Park is already strong – and negotiations for tenancy are underway with well-known and reputable companies."
Labor candidate for Taylor, Jon Gee said this is great news for northern Adelaide and will help create jobs in an industry that's growing at a record rate.
"With the transformation of the automotive industry nearing completion, it's more important than ever that we grow other areas of our economy such as food production. I look forward to working with businesses and locals as they make the most of the exciting opportunities available through this fund and the Northern Adelaide Food Park," Mr Gee said.
The Food Park will generate economic growth in northern Adelaide by attracting new and expanding businesses. It will encourage innovation in the food industry by forging collaborative partnerships, economies of scale and knowledge sharing.
Parafield Airport Ltd's Cross Keys Precinct was initially identified as the preferred site for detailed concept, infrastructure and implementation planning of a food park following an open market and site assessment process. This initial phase was undertaken with an intent from both parties to review the outcomes of concept planning before any further commitment.
After detailed planning, site feasibility work, and discussions with the food industry, it was determined the Parafield Airport site proposal wasn't commercially attractive to the private sector, as it was unable to provide the flexibility of tenure or development opportunities many local businesses were looking for.
The Food Park will capitalise on 'South Australia's premium food and wine exported to the world' credentials, maximising production of value-added food, wine and beverages.
The project forms a key part of the Northern Economic Plan, developed by the State Government in partnership with local councils, industry, business and the community to support economic growth and create jobs in the Northern Adelaide area.

Word: Lilliputian
Pronunciation: li-lə-PYOO-sh(ə)n
Part of Speech: adjective
Definition: trivial or very small
Source: Oxford Dictionaries
I shall personally see to it that the demented, drooling, slime-breathed little Lilliputian who owns this disgusting ribbon will never see the light of day again!
– Miss Trunchbull, Matilda (1996)
Continuing from last week's theme of Gulliver's Travels words, today's Word of the Week entry features another adjective taken from Jonathan Swift's most famous novel. In the above scene from the 1996 film Matilda, Miss Trunchbull has assembled Miss Honey's class to accuse one of them of breaking into her house to terrorize her the night before. Her one clue to the culprit's identity is the ribbon she found outside her house, and though she already knows it belongs to Matilda, she takes her time building up the fear in all the children with a particularly elaborate threat. Harsh as they are, at least one of her chosen words is accurate; compared to the towering Trunchbull, Matilda and her classmates are indeed "Lilliputian"!
Anything described as "Lilliputian" is very small or trivial. The word arose in the early 18th century and was created by Irish author Jonathan Swift for his novel Gulliver's Travels. This word comes from the name of Swift's fictional land Lilliput, which is populated by people six inches tall.
Though I first heard the word "Lilliputian" in Matilda years ago, I only recently learned what it means; until now, I assumed it was just another of the Trunchbull's countless creative insults for children (it certainly sounds like one!). Like "Brobdingnagian", "Lilliputian" also doubles as a noun (in this case, for a tiny person or thing) and should always be capitalized as it derives from a proper noun. If you write about trivial things or characters who are exceptionally small, "Lilliputian" may be a good word to consider for your stories!
What are your thoughts on this word? Any suggestions for future "Word of the Week" featured words?

Kalau ada sesiapa nak cari idea untuk design rumah yang kecil, boleh rujuk gambar di atas. Konsep ala-ala chalet. Pencahayaan mengambil kira sumber semula jadi (matahari la). Jadi rumah nampak terang dan berseri. Tapi kalau untuk budaya kita di Malaysia, mungkin kurang sesuai sebab kita lebih suka privacy.

«AvantGardeStroy. Architectural Rhythm of the Revolution»
Curators: I. Chepkunova, M. Kostyuk, E. Zheludkova, E. Vlasova.
Schusev State Museum of Architecture proudly presents the large-scale exhibition project "AvantGardeStroy. Architectural rhytm of the Revolution", marking the 100-year anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917.
The architectural avant-garde was born in one kettle of the raging art phenomena of the 1920's, together with Malevich's suprematism, Mayakovsky's verses and Meyerhold's innovative statements. The original educational system developed by teachers of Vkhutemas, activities of ASNOVA (Association of new architects) and OSA (Organization of Contemporary Architects) innovative groups all contributed to the development of avant-garde. State policy, cultural revolution and collectivization led to unprecedented growth of construction in the whole country and emergence of new types of buildings, such as workers' club, zhilkombinat, house-commune and factory-kitchen. Innovative ideas of the Soviet architects were embodied not only in real buildings of the 1920's and 1930's but also in utopian projects on entire cities' reorganizations.
The bright era of architectural avant-garde of the 1920's–1930's is represented in works of outstanding Soviet architects and artists, such as Vesnin brothers, Ivan Leonidov, Konstantin Melnikov, Nikolai Ladovsky, Moisey Ginzburg, Ilya and Panteleimon Golosov, Vladimir Krinsky and many others. Author's graphics are complemented by models, archival video records, photos, documents as well as works of applied arts from museums of Moscow, St. Petersburg and private collections. A significant amount of objects from Schusev Museum funds are displayed for the first time.
Exposition is developed by the architectural workshop of Totan Kuzembayev whose interest in experiments with materials and form sets up a corresponding framework for courageous ideas of "pioneers of the Soviet architecture" of the 1920's–1930's.
One of the purposes of the project is to draw attention to the problem of preservation of the Soviet avant-garde monuments – valuable pieces of the world's architectural heritage.

Urban Oasis
Some days you just need some respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Fortunately, you don't have to go far to find some peace and quiet. This bird was sunning himself in the Parc de Bercy when I visited not too long ago, just a few hundred yards from the nearest metro station but a million miles away in attitude.

No other region of Germany is as closely connected to the Reformation as the area now known as the German federal state of Saxony-Anhalt. In fact, Saxony-Anhalt boasts more highlights bearing witness to the life and work of Martin Luther and more authentic key locations of the Reformation than any other part of Germany.
The Reformer was born in Eisleben, which is now known as Lutherstadt Eisleben, a 'Luther town', in 1483 and gave his last sermon in the town before dying there in 1546. He spent his childhood in Mansfeld and then moved to Wittenberg, where he lived and worked as a professor of theology.
On 31st October 1517, he posted his Ninety-Five Theses against the abuse of indulgences and by doing so, changed the inherent foundations of the world order. Luther nailed his theses to the door of Wittenberg Castle Church and his action at that time is still a strong symbol of the start of the Reformation today. The Luther memorial sites in the towns of Wittenberg and Eisleben have been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1996.
In 2017, the 500th anniversary of the Reformation will be celebrated throughout Germany. In perfect timing with this grand anniversary, Wittenberg Castle Church has now undergone extensive restoration work so that visitors can experience it in its original form together with the adjacent castle. The official reopening of the ensemble of buildings is planned to take place on 2nd October 2016.
At the Lutherhaus, the largest museum focusing on the history of the Reformation in the world, the Luther Memorials Foundation will present the National Special Exhibition "Luther! 95 Treasures – 95 People" from 13th May to 5th November 2017. The exhibition will showcase important personal belongings of Martin Luther and objects that bear witness to the historical influence and impact of the Reformation. Its extensive selection of exhibits will also feature items on loan from national and international collections.
The 360-degree panorama "Luther 1517" by the well-known artist Yadegar Asisi is sure to be a great experience for the whole family. In a rotunda constructed in the heart of Wittenberg's old town centre for this purpose, Asisi will bring the Reformation period and its main protagonists to life in a gigantic panoramic image. Visitors to the walk-in panorama, which will extend over several floors, can look forward to gaining a special and vivid insight into an event that changed the world.
The different locations of the Reformation in Saxony-Anhalt are also connected by the Luther Trail. This pilgrimage trail covers a distance of 410km and leads visitors to the locations used by Martin Luther and a number of stunning sites in terms of cultural history connected to the Reformation.
Back in the Middle Ages, Magdeburg, the capital city of Saxony-Anhalt, was one of the largest cities in Europe and an important centre of the Reformation.
The "Against the Emperor and the Pope" exhibition held by the Magdeburg Cultural History Museum features a number of original records and a multitude of paintings, works of art and everyday objects that provide an insight into the fierce conflicts over faith, power and justice that took place in Magdeburg, the proverbial "stronghold of German Protestantism".
Visitors to Saxony-Anhalt in 2017 can not only look forward to experiencing authentic buildings, objects and locations that are closely connected to the life and work of Martin Luther and the Reformation, but also to enjoying a diverse programme of exhibitions, concerts, celebrations and conferences.

My proposal for a presentation to the 39th University System Annual Computing Conference entitled, "Creating and Publishing eBooks Using the EPUB Standard" has been accepted. This conference is not held in a hotel in some big city. Rather, it happens on the 1,452 acre Rock Eagle 4-H Center just outside Eatonton, Georgia. Here's the official site for the conference where you'll find all of the info on it that you might want.
Thus, I'll be holding forth on this topic for 45 minutes beginning at 8:30 AM on Thursday October 21 in the "International Paper 3" room. Not exactly the "Boom Boom" room but it will be a good experience I'm sure. Here is the abstract:
Creating eBooks using the EPUB standard is now within the grasp of faculty as well as any other subject matter expert with basic computer skills. Additionally, publishing eBooks for consumption by students and others on desktop. laptop and mobile devices will soon be a drag and drop operation. In addition to an overview of the eBook creation and publishing process, attendees will have access to a companion web site with links to in-depth information, tutorials and resources.
See you at the Rock!

Posted by Bossip Staff
Weezy clears the air on false statements that his daughter was killed in a car accident:
"It has come to my attention that there are recent reports circulating regarding my daughter. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who are genuinely concerned about Reginae and her safety. Please allow me to dispel any rumors or speculations and report that my daughter is alive, healthy and surrounded by family who care and love her dearly. The rumors are completely false and unfounded; neither Reginae nor any other member of my family has been involved in any car accident. My family and I truly appreciate the concern and support shown to us."
That's certainly good news…
