Quality Kids' Clothing
Dress Your Kids for Success in Stylish, Quality Children's Clothing
If you have kids, you're probably always on the lookout for quality children's clothing that will last. Babies, toddlers, and big kids can be tough on clothes, from running and playing to spilling and staining. That's why it's important to invest in quality pieces that stand up to the rough-and-tumble world of children (and laundry machines as well). At infancy, we sell hand-selected quality children's clothing, chosen for its style, brand, and other qualities such as organic, eco-friendly materials. In fact, most of the Australian and European brands we supply use organic cotton to keep your little one comfortable and safe and help protect the environment.
Questions to Ask infancy About Their Quality Baby Clothing
We know that you want the best for your child, whether you're in the market for quality girls' swimwear, stylish boys' shorts, or accessories such as backpacks or umbrellas for children. Here are some of the questions you may want to ask to ensure you're getting the best.
- What brands do you stock? We choose our selection of kids' clothing for its quality, style, and durability. Our brands include Paper Wings, Rock Your Baby and Rock Your Kid, Munster Kids, Alphabet Soup, Nature Baby, and Wilson and Frenchy.
- What items do you offer? We offer a wide variety of clothing, shoes, and accessories for babies, toddlers, and big kids. Find seasonal, limited-edition products handpicked to be adorable and make your kids feel comfortable and fashionable.
- Can you guarantee my satisfaction? The answer is absolutely yes. We offer top-notch customer service, warranties and guarantees on all our products, and a flexible return policy. That means you can buy with confidence and peace of mind.
- What age ranges do your clothes suit? Whether you have a newborn, toddler, pre-schooler, big kid, preteen, or a teenager up to 16 years old, we have age-appropriate, comfortable, and stylish clothing they'll love.
Tips for Getting the Most Value Out of Quality Children's Clothing
You invest in quality clothes for your kids for a reason – because you want them to last, possibly through multiple kids. Here are some tips for getting the most life out of each piece.
- Buy practically. Choose clothing made of easy-care materials such as cotton. Breathable cotton not only feels great on but also stands up to washing and drying with ease. Try to avoid delicate fabrics that require special care – as a parent; you probably don't have time to fuss over it.
- Act fast. Spills and stains happen when you have kids (and, for most of us, even if you don't). When your little one makes a mess, wipe away as much of the excess spilt substance as you can. Rinse or soak in cold water immediately. When you can, treat with a stain-fighting product before laundering. Acting quickly will help keep the stain from setting.
- Be gentle. Avoid harsh cleaners and chemicals that might irritate your child's skin. You can keep whites white with natural bleach alternatives such as baking soda, white distilled vinegar, and borax. Bonus tip: leave white clothes with stains out in the sun and let the sunlight bleach the stain naturally.
About infancy
Since 2008, infancy has been providing quality girls' clothing and swimwear as well as quality boys' clothing at our online store and our physical store in Rozelle NSW. We are your one-stop-shop for all things kids, and we make it our mission to go above and beyond for our customers with perks such as free gift wrapping and free shipping on orders over $150. We can ship our luxury brands throughout Australia and beyond. If you have any questions or would like to place an order, contact us today.

Many are happy to see 2021 go. Investors saw a lot of back and forth last year. Some might even have whiplash.
They didn't have to worry much during a traditionally muted and light holiday trading period:
There isn't much data yet for this year. Also, the Big Money Index (BMI) from MAPsignals, which measures institutional investor activity, started 2022 right around 50%, which is a nice baseline to work from:
Without trying to be funny, the situation basically is this: not much is happening and we're starting at middle ground. So, we're taking this opportunity to do a quick final review 2021 and set the table for 2022.
As I mentioned, many folks are probably happy to let 2021 go. It was another odd pandemic year. We had variants, restrictions, people undoubtedly suffered losses. At the same time, we made incredible progress against COVID-19 with vaccines and therapeutics, while life also nudged a bit closer to "normal." We investors likely are pleased with 2021's returns too.
Perhaps one day the perception of 2021 being a horrible, no-good year will change. And while it was a good year for stocks, some interesting things took place beneath the surface.
For instance, we saw a distinct disparity among just a few stocks. At the end of 2021, the largest seven stocks had a total market cap of almost $12 trillion. That means just seven of the S&P 500's stocks (1.4%) accounted for about 30% of the capitalization-weighted index's value:
The S&P 500 was up 26.89% for the year, despite enormous volatility and regular sector churning, because only a handful of stocks provided stability.
Knowing where the market stability came from, we can look at Big Money stock buying for the entire year and actually see the money pulsing in and out. If you look at the below chart on the left, buy and sell signals are superimposed over the S&P 500 (which includes the market weight of those seven stocks). You see a consistent upward trend. On the right, the buys and sells are superimposed over the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM), which tracks the Russell 2000. In that chart you can see much more volatility under the surface:
These charts are proof of the consistent mean reversions that occurred in 2021.
Our friends at MAPsignals conducted an interesting analysis comparing 2021 to another strong year for stocks, 2017 (though that year had a much stronger upward trend in general). In the next two charts, you can see how 2017 had ebbs and flows like last year, but there was a lot more overall buying (the blue bars are bigger in 2017 than in 2021):
The main takeaway is this: while 2021 looked great on the surface, underneath we know the market buoyancy came from just seven huge stocks. Contrast that against 2017, which also had big returns, but was a "truer" bull market in that there were broad-based gains on big overall volumes.
In other words, a real bull market is more than just seven stocks. There was a genuine growth engine in 2017. Stocks big and small (especially growth stocks) saw gains. But not in 2021.
But don't worry. This year a broad-based growth run – a "true" bull market, if you will – could take place.
Seven Reasons to Believe in 2022
Before we start, we recognize there are real problems we'll have to contend with this year that include all sorts of issues. And of course, let's also include the caveat that the market has a crazy way of doing the opposite of what's expected.
But even with all that said, we believe in 2022 and think we'll experience broad-based growth.
A big reason for this belief is we think the winds of change are blowing after two years of unprecedented government actions pushing markets. This year, we think long-term fundamentals will reassert themselves as the most important drivers of economic and financial performance, meaning that quality will matter more than ever.
So, in honor of 2021's seven market-lifting stocks, here are seven primary reasons we believe in 2022.
The virus and its related rules should have much less influence on our lives 12 months from now than they do today. While cases are at record highs, thankfully, hospitalizations and deaths aren't even close:
Federal gridlock
It appears President Biden's Build Back Better (BBB) plan, which would increase taxes and spending, is mired in D.C. muck. The rest of us see this as "peak D.C.," as in this is just what they do. If you put yourself in the shoes of moderate Democrats in Congress, being forced to vote on tax hikes in an election year is astronomically difficult. And their reluctance will continue to grow every week, which will probably create additional gridlock on any BBB proposals.
Midterm election
The midterm election in November could drastically limit the ability of the current administration to get much done in 2023 and 2024. That would mean no more tax hikes and that legislation would have to be bipartisan to pass. That likely means more GRIDLOCK, which markets like:
Economic "contests"
We expect three economic forces to compete in 2022 – waning fiscal relief, rising employment, and healing supply chains. While the excess demand from massive government spending will decline in 2022, employment and wages should rise as supply chains continue to heal.
Interest rates
The Federal Reserve has a big job ahead. Its most recent "dot plot," which is a summary of the Fed's expectations for future interest rates, suggests three rate hikes to come. However, given the current administration's inclusion of more "doves" in the Fed, we'll take the under and say the federal funds rate will only increase twice this year. From a pure market valuation standpoint, two hikes versus three is a good thing.
Monitoring profits, which are at an all-time high, will be critical. Remember, some of the recent strong corporate results are due to temporary spending blowouts. But with more jobs and lower unemployment, we expect profit growth of 10% or more in 2022. That's below the 2021 level, but double-digit gains across the board are always positive.
Wild card risks
Will China invade Taiwan? Will Russia invade Ukraine? We think the former is extremely unlikely and the latter is completely unknown unless your name is Vladimir Putin. Either event could cause a temporary selloff, but neither would change the fundamentals. Thus, they're short-term risks at worst. Of course, we also don't know what we don't know. Who predicted Turkey's currency crisis, China's corporate crackdown, commodity fluctuations, and so on? Unanticipated events will occur (maybe even Black Swans). Yet, we believe in our ability to persevere.
Remember, the phrase, "Change is the only constant," rings true. For example, let's look back at the top S&P 500 sectors for 2021:
In essence, every quarter was different.
Change will happen and we don't know what it will be. So, the best way to navigate this uncertainty, which occurs every year, is to have a well-diversified approach with a goals based plan foundation stick to it.

Today is bittersweet because it's the first Mother's Day since Lizze left. The boys aren't really stressed out about it because to them, it's just a other day on COVID19 lockdown. Truthfully, it's better this way because they don't need anything else to worry about.
It's bittersweet for me because I always celebrated Mother's Day. We didn't always have the money but I tried to make sure we always did something special.
Today is going to be hard for me but that's okay. Today isn't about me or how I'm feeling.
This will mark the first time Lizze hasn't been with her kids on Mother's Day and I know that's hurting her. We have our differences and I don't agree with her decisions but the thought of her being in pain, hurts me.
She's not seen the kids for over two months now because of lockdown and that's a huge sacrifice for her.
When the kids get angry that she's chosen a different path in life that has taken her away, I always tell them that whatever she chooses to do with her life cannot undo all she's already done. I remind them that she will always be a hero to me because she gave me them. She fought so hard to bring them into this world and I will never forget that.
I'm working very hard to keep my perspective and for the most part I'm doing okay.
I've already wished Lizze a happy Mother's Day and the boys will do the same thing when they wake up. Right now, this is the best we can do because of health related concerns in both our houses and COVID19.
Like I said, it's bittersweet for me personally but it's so much harder for her. I wish things were different but we're trying to come up with creative ways to keep her and the boys in touch. Truthfully, nothing comes close to actually being with them.
On this Mother's Day I wish her the very best and we will get her and the boys together as soon as it's safe.
I'd also like to say Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, sisters in law and mother in law. This is also the first Mother's Day that I can't call my grandmother. As I said, bittersweet.

Episode Transcript
Miriam Allred (00:06):
Hey, this is Miriam Allred and you're listening to Vision | The Care Leaders' Podcast by Home Care Pulse. My guest today is guy Guy Tommasi the Owner of LIFETIME Care at Home. Well Guy, welcome to the show. Really excited to have you appreciate you taking the time. For those of you who don't know Guy Tommasi is the Owner of LIFETIME Care at Home, out in Connecticut and today we're going to highlight data. Data is right in your wheelhouse and you're kind of the industry guru as far as data goes. So really excited to have you on. So, welcome to the show!
Guy Tommasi (00:42):
Thank you, Miriam. It's a really good to be here. I'm really excited about the opportunity to share some of this information with you and your listeners. So I'm, I'm ready to go.
Miriam Allred (00:53):
Well, let's start with value based care. It's been kind of a buzz word in industry. So tell me what are some of the key differences when we talk about value based care versus, you know, what we're currently doing
Guy Tommasi (01:07):
Value based care is, is really the new phenomenon, but not really new it's been here for, or was introduced back in 2010, I believe as a way to continue to address the growing cost of delivering care. And what we've been doing since the beginning of time is, is the fee for service type model of care, where based on volume, how many procedures you do, how many visits you do you're reimbursed for that accordingly? Well, it, it got to a point where it really was going to, to bankrupt the Medicare system. And CMS said, you know, we need to, we need to start looking at better ways of providing care. And the only way we'll go into rattle that cage and get providers to start watching what they do is they introduced this value based care model and basically what it in its simplest form.
Guy Tommasi (02:18):
And cause there are multiple layers to it, but in its simplest form value based care is they we're saying is you providers are going to be reimbursed based on the delivery of the care you provide. And then we'll reward you for efficiency and effectiveness. And basically they were saying is your challenge now is to deliver high quality care, improve patient outcomes and satisfaction and reducing costs. That was huge. And everyone in the health care field, home care field, this was, this was a new concept and how to deliver care. And there's multiple layers to that. You may have heard, you know, part of the driver in this value based care is called alternative payment models, APS. And, and again, that, that concept is the driver of value based care and getting providers to, again, quality value, lower the cost. And you've heard of accountable care organizations and bundled payments, and that's where all the multiple layers come into play. But again, in its simplest form, it's basically going from volume to value and value being measured by the quality of care efficiency, the satisfaction. And the whole goal is to start to bring down the cost of providing care, both in the home care world and on the in the healthcare world in general.
Miriam Allred (04:01):
Yeah, that was a great synopsis. So at a high level, what changes, you've mentioned some, but what other changes need to happen as an industry for us to arrive at value based care?
Guy Tommasi (04:16):
Well, I think it for our industry and, and I like the fact that you're calling it home care as well, we've been called private duty and nonmedical and handle in home care for awhile. And that in itself is part of the problem. Nobody knows what to call us. And sometimes it's hard to identify who we are when, when it's hard to get people, to understand who we are, but home care for years since the seventies has, you know, has been in a nice comfort zone. And I, and I say that with all due respect because we haven't, we really haven't had any requirements on us like CMS has done with the other stakeholders. And when I say stakeholders, you'll hear me mention that a lot, the stakeholders are home care, home health agencies, physicians, hospitals, Medicare Advantage plans. They kind of, the ACO is as well.
Guy Tommasi (05:16):
And we've never had that type of oversight. So it's hard for us to try to get to where we need to be when a lot of us don't know how to get there yet, because we've, there's nothing, there's no, there's no benchmarks. There's nothing that, that guided us there. Every state is different Miriam, you know, there's some who have high requirements and regs, but nothing that to a large degree impacts on the financial implications of that respective agency as the other stakeholders. So I, you know, if, if COVID did anything positive, it opened the eyes of these stakeholders to the value that home care brings to the, to the general population during this whole COVID crisis. Our industry was in there every day. We kept their clients, their patients, their enrollees safe, independent, and out of the hospital. And that's the last place people wanted to be is in the hospital while you couldn't go to the hospital and three, it all kind of tied back or ties back to the whole value care concept of reducing costs.
Guy Tommasi (06:37):
So we here at LIFETIME, certainly we're, we're recognized by our stakeholders saying that, you know, we expect the same type of care and the same data. And you're doing a great job with that. So we're in a great position as an industry to really now make a name for ourselves. The eyes have been open. The opportunities are there for those who want to go get it, because for many in our industry, they're very content being where they are and doing what they're doing. I personally believe that will not, that's not sustainable going forward. So I, you know, one of the things is, is we need a commitment from the highest levels of our leadership owners, directors, who are willing to get out of the comfort zone and commit to establishing the metrics that are parallel to the metrics that are required by our stakeholders.
Guy Tommasi (07:44):
And because what that's going to do is going to elevate the credibility of our, of our industry above and beyond where it is today. The second piece I, I really think is we need to establish benchmarks. We need to establish benchmarks for our industry so that the consumers can start to compare us against each other, take on online, looking for everything nowadays and CMS, you know, there's, they have a home health compare hospital, compare physician, compare hospital, compare again, we're the only ones who don't have that actually they are now changing and they're going to, what's called and they're going to combine all these in one called Medicare care compare, I believe say that fast track, you know, because that's, what's out there and that's, you know, the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA) is actually has established a Data Committee to start working towards that.
Guy Tommasi (08:51):
So that's exciting and ties back to the, the ownership and those to step up and, and be part of that. That's why Home Care Pulse, thankfully, you know, provides a comparison of client and staff satisfaction metrics. That is huge. That that's 50% of, of what. And, and, and if we get too in questions with the quadruple lane, 50% of it is there and Home Care Pulse for provides that as well as, you know, benchmarks for recruitment and retention and marketing and sales. It's really the only true benchmark we have as an agency or as an aid as an industry. But what that does is even though it may not compare us to other agencies, it compares us to the industry as a whole. So when I get the benchmark survey, I look at it right away. That's kind of like the Christmas gift that's come in the mail, but he's running the open package and we look at it and we say, okay, let you know, what's our industry doing? And where are we in comparison to that? So I think that opportunity is here. The industry is, is, is trying to make it happen, but we need to, to really get, to get our, get all of our ownerships and our directors to onboard with it. And we need to establish the benchmarks. So then we can go to that stakeholder table saying, Hey, look it up. Now you can compare us. So that's where I think we need to be on a high level for our industry.
Miriam Allred (10:31):
Absolutely. Well, let's, let's get right to it. You mentioned the quadruple aim concept. Let's talk about the four pillars that you've identified as the key data to be tracking, to take to these stakeholders. Can you talk about those four pillars?
Guy Tommasi (10:46):
Sure. The, you know, we kind of coined the four pillars here at LIFETIME, just, just because we didn't come up with them. We just said, Hey, these are the four pillars that we're going to have to address. And basically these are the four pillars that CMS the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services established through. What's called the quadruple aim. And if I could just take a minute for a little brief history in an attempt to, to combat, if you will, the rising expensive healthcare CMS said that we need to, we need to focus on three critical areas. We need to focus on quality value and, and lowering the cost of care. And they coined the name triple aim. And those three components were going to be the drivers to get us to achieve the value based care concept. Well, back in 2017, CMS realized that in order to achieve these three, there's a fourth component that has to happen and they, and what they call it was clinician satisfaction.
Guy Tommasi (12:17):
Basically what they said is, Hey, if we've got clinicians burning out and not being able to do their jobs, then this whole concept of value based care doesn't happen. So they introduced this fourth quadrant. If you will, that's called care. It was called clinician satisfaction. And then what we did on our end is we just modified those four to fit the parameters of home care. So instead of clinician, we called ours caregiver or staff satisfaction. And instead of patient satisfaction, we call our client satisfaction. So those four pillars, quality value satisfaction, both for clients and for caregivers became the structure of what the stakeholders are now measured against. And that's why I'm excited about this being here. And when I did the other presentation, because I really, really strong about let's not reinvent the wheel, the wheel's really been invented. It's called the quadruple aim.
Guy Tommasi (13:42):
Let's not go, come up with some crazy, Hey, look at what we can do because the stakeholders don't know enough about us to begin with. If we start introducing things that they're not even in tuned with, all we've done is waste time and resources. So if we in our industry adapt to this quadruple aim and measure the same data points that our stakeholders are doing, then when we put that data together, we've got to go to the table with something they then recognize. So if we start talking quality or rehospitalization or satisfaction, they know, Oh, that makes sense because that's what we gotta do. So let's see what they're doing. So now you begin to talk the talk, you think like them, you talk like them, you act like that because it's, it's really about them. And if you assimilate like that, then you become kind of the favored referral slash you become that favored source for business, because for them now, now they see you as one of them. So this quadruple lane was really the, the the goal of getting to value based care using those four metrics.
Miriam Allred (15:14):
So, so tell me about the results you've seen taking this data to stakeholders. I know some of the results that you've driven, but tell our listeners, you know, you've been doing this for some time now and tell me what was it like when you first took this data to these stakeholders? What was their initial reaction and what results have you seen since then?
Guy Tommasi (15:38):
Well, the hard part to that was they, they looked at us like we had five heads. We've been doing this for the past four years and it wasn't easy. Initially we had to a lot of trial and error. And that's why I said a few, few seconds ago, don't, don't try to be creative and invent the wheel use. What's already there. And the first jump out of the gate, we, we were like, Oh yeah, this is probably a work. This, this might work. And, and we really got a rude awakening. When we did try to introduce some of this and got zero feedback, not even negative feedback, I would have been fine, but we got no feedback. And that quickly said to me, we're not doing it right. And that's what forced me and my staff here to say, forget about looking internally to change.
Guy Tommasi (16:45):
What are we going to need to do externally? And that's where we took the time to find their pain points is what I like to say. What were the pain points that the stakeholders were experiencing? That we could be a supportive partner with what that once we said, okay, this is what it is. It became easier to develop our data points. Once we saw that 50% Miriam of what they were looking for, we were already collecting with Home Care Pulse we were 50% ahead of the game because we had been working with Home Care Pulse. We started working with, with the, with the questions and the questions are on the stakeholder side. You may have hear Oasis. You may have heard about HCAPS. All those are questions that asked the patient about their satisfaction scores, her satisfaction experience. The Oasis is just a scale and talks about their basic mobility, able to change.
Guy Tommasi (18:06):
17 of the 35 requirements are ADL related, ADL related. And then we were able to take the age gaps, the satisfaction piece, and work like with home care pulse, and say, okay, we need to get questions that are similar so that when we present our data and what they read, they can say, Oh yeah, I get it. We have to do that too. And Oh yeah, I get that. We have to do that too. And came for, for the other two about value. Our value was keeping patients, their patients out of the hospital and under quality, ours was functionality score. Why functionality, because that's what we do the activities of daily living because in home care, we're about chronic and stable care. And so when, when we get clients, if they have multiple morbidities and our goal is to at least keep them stable. And in other cases, simply try to show the improvement.
Guy Tommasi (19:23):
So we were able to match up the questions, both on satisfaction and quality. And then we were able to take that data and go to each of the respective stakeholders and, and the best part about not reinventing the wheel is the data that you ended up collecting, Miriam can be used with all the other stakeholders. It gives it because I like to say data tells the story. Data tells what you do. It it's your, it allows for accountability. It gives you credibility. It's easy for me to say, we give great care and you know, that case manager, she loves us. Well, now I can say here it is. Here's my proof. And as, and especially for a competitive advantage here in Connecticut, it's extremely competitive because it's a non licensure state for home care. There is almost 700 of us, but I want to, you know, no one here in Connecticut, at least that I'm aware of has the breadth of data that we've collected.
Guy Tommasi (20:44):
And I take a dashboard with me and I say it, it was discharge planner. Hey, listen. Yeah, I have 668 of us, probably not going to end you. Don't just ask for their dashboard, ask what their outcomes are, makes a huge difference. It makes it, I say to them, that would be the fastest meeting you ever have because our industry isn't that, that hasn't done all that yet. Because again, like I said earlier, it's not forced to, but it's given us such a competitive advantage that it's really made a difference. You know, I like to say there's three major things. We could be that great supportive partner. It's going to help bottom line. And it has, and to it, it's a differentiator as a competitor. So, you know, you, you take that a week ago to see the data. And every one of the stakeholders have different pain points.
Guy Tommasi (21:49):
And what I mean by that is they all, they all need help with something. So, and the home health world, for example, you know, back in January, they started introducing these, these PDGM the patient driven groupings model. Huge. This was, this is a a reimbursement a new reimbursement model for them. That that is hasn't been done in over 20 years. Well, one of those requirements is functionality and every one of those functionality questions are all ADL related, everyone. So, you know, I can go to a home health agency, which I have and partnered with. It says here, here's how we can help you with that piece of the groupings model functionality scores. They're like, Whoa, haven't seen this before. And I'm thinking, well, this is what we do every day is it's talks about grooming, bathing, the things we do every day.
Guy Tommasi (23:01):
So, you know, you go to that home health that you can go to a hospital. What's the pain point for hospitals? Well, patients who come back within 30 days with the same diagnosis, Medicare dings them a fine, could be up to 5% of their Medicare reimbursement. Our data. We show 30, 60, 90 day readmissions. I go to a hospital administrator and say, here's what we can do to keep your patients from coming back within 30 days. Also, there's the, there's a high level of patients who are discharged from hospitals, call it high risk patients who do not qualify for the Medicare conditions of participation, which means they cannot get home health services, but they're considered high risk falls, nutrition, gate transportation. Those are huge. Those are reasons why they ended up back in hospital. Again, we do that every day. So you share with them that pain point, they pay attention.
Guy Tommasi (24:12):
Absolutely. So even with, with the Medicare Advantage plans, we're still in the infancy stages with that. There's a whole reimbursement issue, still being developed and watched, but they look for things like client satisfaction. Why? Because their whole world evolves around enrollees and star ratings. Every one of our care, every one of our stakeholders live and die on these star ratings. Zero to five. I was reading 77% of Medicare beneficiaries in 2021 are gonna pick a Medicare advantage plan that has four stars or more 77%, I think 52 million people. Well, if we say, Hey, look at our satisfaction scores. Look at our rehospitalization scores. They start to pick notice because they don't want people coming back in the hospital. They want those four stars, five stars, because they're also reimbursed through CMS, dumped better to stars the better the reimbursement. So the data that we collect you, I just shared three or four different stakeholders that you can go do specifically hitting those pain points that you could be a supportive partner for.
Miriam Allred (25:48):
And I love what you've continued to drive home is that in home care, we don't have to reinvent the wheel. You know, we can look to these what I call sister industries or these stakeholders and take what they're doing and apply it to our industry, to drive the results that will get us noticed, noticed, and, you know, really help us become part of this continuum. So I love that point of just, you know, it's simple. We, you know, we can do it. We just have to really implement it and put it into practice.
Guy Tommasi (26:17):
Right. And it is, it is a commitment. I, you know, I don't want anybody to think, Oh, this is, this is pretty easy. We could just take those four pillars. And it's a commitment. And if agencies are out there not willing to put the time in this will blow up in your face. I believe that's where I said in the beginning, the top, the owner, the administrator who's ever the top person in that organization has to be committed a hundred percent to making sure that this data collection, those four quadrants are done every 30 days, 60 days, 90 days in order to build that data because you miss one day, your data is technically screwed is skewed. So it's now become a way of doing business here. You know, the first year it was like, come on guys, I'll forget, 30 days, not 31.
Guy Tommasi (27:23):
Come on guys, get up here. And now it's day 29 is coming up on, you know, mrs. Jones. We've got to get ready for, for day 30 and I'm, and on that next day, we do our evaluation. And even though we had COVID, you know, that the caregivers were great because people are like, Oh, I don't know if I want another person in the house. So what we were doing is the caregivers were taking laptops or tablets, or even iPhones sit with the patient. And we were doing face to face and FaceTime. So our care manager was doing a visual evaluation and asking our caregiver, okay, help mrs. Jones up, let's see her mobility, let's see her functionality, let's see her get dressed. And so she was able to still maintain that level of data collection. So that's, that's where, you know, we've learned some lessons then, you know what I mean? And again, I go back to data tells the story and it's, it's your, it's your calling card.
Miriam Allred (28:39):
Definitely. Before we launched into this conversation, you were mentioning that one of your biggest challenges right now as a provider is staffing. I'd love to hear how you're using data on the recruitment front. You know, are you are using this data to attract new clients and caregivers as well?
Guy Tommasi (29:00):
Yes we are. Actually, we have it. We have it split up two ways. When we're we're recruiting and and we use as a retention, but as recruiting, when we bring, we talk about are our outcomes from the home care pulse survey, we've been fortunate to have to be awarded the Leadership In Excellence (Best of Home Care Award). Now the past two years, we've got awards up on our walls. It it's a visual stimulation of the credibility of coming to work here for us. We use that in our promotional material. When we recruit that we have been an employer of choice for the past four or five years, we've been doing different things to address training and recognition. So our recruiter is armed with that data. And then when they come in from orientation, all of our numbers are up on a white board into, in our conference room.
Guy Tommasi (30:08):
And we go over that with new employees that say, this is what we do every day that we need your feedback. And we talk about that. So from a recruiting standpoint, that data, the surveys satisfaction surveys that are done every month by home care pulse is huge. In our recruiting efforts, we take that same information when we talk to our referral sources and when we go to talk to clients, so if we get a call and say, mrs, so and so mrs. Jones is interested in, in coming on service, our care manager that goes out and kind of does that initial evaluation and talking and this and that. And both of them have a little binder and it has our outcomes in it. And it has our satisfaction scores in there. And it says, here's our client satisfaction. Here's what our clients are saying. And here's what our caregivers are saying.
Guy Tommasi (31:13):
And we've always been in the 90 percentile and it goes again to data tells the story. So we show them that and we let them kind of digest it, ask questions, but it's telling our story saying, here, we didn't come up with this. This is a typical Home Care Pulse that we use independent. This is what they do. Here's our, here's what they've come up with. And as a result, here's our awards that speak to it. And again, I'm the, I'm the other two sides of the contract. That's where that the clients again, look at, Hey, we're good. We can help keep you out of the hospital. Here's the functionality. Here's how we hospitalization. So that, so the data for recruitment retention and referrals is, is huge. You know, it's easy now, Miriam looking back and I say, how did we do this without the data?
Miriam Allred (32:18):
Guy Tommasi (32:22):
Now it's just getting, trying to get bigger and better as far as, you know, I want the rest of our industry to stay. Yeah. We need to do this and really, really step up our game.
Miriam Allred (32:35):
Great information. I'm really glad we got to that, that, you know, the data isn't only for the stakeholders, but it also is, you know, heavily involved in the recruitment and retention piece on the client and caregiver front. So I'm glad you could touch on that and highlight the importance of that to kind of wrap up the conversation. And, you know, you've talked about this and I just want to hear a little bit more, what, what do you see on the horizon for the industry? You've talked about getting everyone on board with this idea, but what else do you see is on the horizon or hope that's on the horizon for the industry?
Guy Tommasi (33:13):
Well, I, you know, I think the, the, the horizon is bright. It really is. I hate to say that coven played a part in that. Unfortunately, but it did in the most ironic way at it did open the eyes. So in a way, COVID allowed our industry to show what we've been doing. Since we started this back in the seventies, as an industry, it said, look at, look at what we do. Now. The onus is on us to take that and elevate it to another level where we have to do that by willing to look at again, externally, we'd have to look at remote client monitoring. Clients are going to get used to being at home, not a lot of people around it. So we have to be willing to do that with the virtual visits, the whole thing with interoperability. Again, our stakeholders are, are partnering with, with partners who can provide that interoperability with data and client information can be shared so that it's not in silos.
Guy Tommasi (34:34):
So our industry has to start looking internally at our software platforms. Our software companies are the, so are the software companies that we're currently using capable. And if not capable, willing to address the use these issues of interoperability, are they willing to partner with us and learn what we need? And I will go so far as to say, you know, if they're not, then you, then you need to move on to another software company because you're going to get stuck behind the eight ball. This thing you, you, you know, the hospitals and home health agencies have, what's called the revised conditions of participation. And one of those revisions include using post acute care providers who can demonstrate that they have quality measures, quality outcomes, and that's who they have to start referring to. So I'm just going to send her a business is rapidly disappearing because they have auditors coming in from CMS saying, show me the information that you gave to your patients to make a good sound decision of a quality provider.
Guy Tommasi (35:58):
If they don't have that, that's the same. That's not going to be very happy, but we have to have the software data to provide that. We have to have the willing partners to provide that. And if, and for those agencies who choose to step it up, and then the horizon is going to be going to be filled with, with good stuff. And we've seen that we've seen the returns on our bottom line as a result of that. So we're, we're on that springboard now. And for some agencies, they're going to say, you know what I like doing what we're doing and we're fine. And that's, that's okay. But for those who really want to step up their game and, and take their agency to another level, the opportunity is now the willingness has to be there. And you have to be able to have the right partners to partner with you to help get you there. I think if you pull that together, it's, it's a, it's a, that's a home run.
Miriam Allred (37:02):
Yeah. I love that Guy. Thank you so much. This conversation has gone by in the blink of an eye, but really that's all, I've got time for too. Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your perspectives and just your story. You said, you know, we're sharing the story, you're telling the story, but thank you for sharing your story and talking about the data collection that you're doing at LIFETIME. We at Home Care Pulse are huge fans of yours and appreciate the example you're setting for the industry when it comes to data collection and upping your quality of care. So thank you so much for taking the time today.
Guy Tommasi (37:33):
Well, thank you, Miriam and I really appreciate the opportunity afforded me to use this as, as a way of getting the word out. So thank you and thank Home Care Pulse for all that they do for us and helping us get to our final mission.

OFF BEAT: Woman injured having sex on business trip wins court ruling
Posted On: Dec. 18, 2012 12:00 AM CSTAn Australian court recently delivered its opinion in the ongoing saga of a woman seeking workers compensation benefits for an injury suffered while having sex on a business trip.
The full bench of the Federal Court found in favor of the government worker who was hospitalized in 2007 after a glass light fitting was ripped from above a motel room bed, according to reports. The fitting injured her face, which also caused her to suffer from depression.
The government insurer, Comcare, first approved her workers comp claim, but then rejected it after further examining the case. An administrative tribunal affirmed, ruling that sex was not an ordinary activity for work-related motel stay, unlike showering or sleeping. It agreed with the insurer that the injuries did not occur within the scope of the woman's employment.
But a Federal Court judge overturned that finding this year, stating that had she been injured while playing cards in the motel room she would similarly be entitled to workers comp benefits, even though her employer did not induce her to play cards.
On Dec. 13 the court's full bench agreed with the judge and ruled her employer's approval for her conduct was not necessary. But reports say the insurer may appeal.

"The oil industry has been about ideas and problem solving from the get-go," says Charlie Fairbank. "It's a legacy Canadians can be proud of and it continues to this day."
He should know.
Fairbank is the fourth generation of his family to own Fairbank Oil Fields, a 160-year-old oil development located near the community of Oil Springs, about 26 kilometres southeast of Sarnia, Ontario.
Wait, what — Ontario?
Once upon an oil well
You may be surprised to learn the Canadian oil industry started in southwestern Ontario. Indigenous people in the region had long known about the presence of thick oil, which they used for medicines. In 1844, Alexander Murray, a geologist with the Geological Survey of Canada, reported finding petroleum in cavities within limestone in the area now known as Oil Springs.
Initially, oil was harvested and refined to make asphalt. Soon however, a large market developed for oil-derived compounds for lighting businesses, homes and streets – displacing whale oil. With growing demand for petroleum products, the race was on to develop commercial operations and Ontario's oil boom was underway.
John Henry Fairbank came to Ontario from New York. In 1861 he found work as a surveyor in the Oil Springs area, which was bustling with oil seekers. He joined their ranks when he drilled his first well in July 1861. He kept buying land and drilling wells: by 1900 Fairbank was Canada's biggest producer, pumping some 24,000 barrels a year.
It's a legacy that continues to this day.
An innovative industry from the get-go
From figuring out how to drill deeper wells to fashioning unique equipment on the spot, Ontario's early oil developers sparked an entire Canadian industry based on ingenuity and know-how.
Christina Sydorko, Educational Program Co-ordinator at the Oil Museum of Canada says, "Wells could be hand-dug to a depth of 40 feet but oil developers had to access deeper deposits, and that meant inventing new drilling techniques. Local entrepreneurs were up to the task."
As wells delved ever deeper and production increased, Ontario's 'hard rock oilers' collectively developed ideas and technologies to make drilling, recovery and transport more efficient. These pioneers set their minds to solving one technical challenge after another, attracting international attention.
For instance, as early as the 1850s, local blacksmiths worked on-site with oil men to fashion unique tools and equipment. In 1863, Fairbank devised a multiple-well pumping system he called jerker lines, wooden rods that connected many wells to one steam engine (previously, each well required a dedicated engine to operate the pump). This production method is still in use today to produce oil at Fairbank Oil Fields, which has supplied oil to Imperial Oil's Sarnia refinery since 1880.
Another Canadian invention: rotating drill bits. The early spring pole drilling method, which literally punched through the rock, was gradually adapted to rotate a bit through rock layers. This technology was superior to the chain-driven method widely used in the U.S.
Beginning as early as 1873, Ontario's expert drillers were in demand around the world. With their knowledge about how to drill, extract, store and transport oil, Canadian experts reached 86 countries before World War II. Petrolia's Oil Well Supply Company exported its tools and equipment to countries including Iran, Borneo, Arabia, Sumatra, Russia and Ukraine. William McGarvey took the Canadian drilling system to Poland in the early 1880s.
As the world moved from steam power to electricity, oil producers switched too. Electricity came to Oil Springs in 1918 and the huge steam boilers formerly used for pumping oil to the surface were replaced with electric pumps. Oil production in Ontario was among the first industries to utilize hydroelectric power generated from Niagara Falls.
Charlie Fairbank himself continues the legacy of innovation. His home in Oil Springs — built in 1888 — today uses geothermal energy for heating and cooling. Even the 1913 barn, which needed a new foundation in 2003, now has in-floor radiant heating to protect newborn lambs from the cold. Fairbank Oil also uses a new gravity-feed disposal well system for water produced and separated from the oil, replacing the previous electrically driven pumping system.
Attention eventually turned to Western Canada with significant oil discoveries at Turner Valley, Alberta in 1914 and at Leduc, Alberta in 1947, then to commercial development of the oil sands starting in 1967 and Atlantic offshore discoveries in 1969. The spirit of finding solutions to technical, engineering and environmental challenges established in Ontario in the 1860s continues today in Canada's upstream natural gas and oil industry.
Working history
Today, Fairbank Oil Fields is both a producing oil development and a dedicated historical preserve. It's a complete system of 19th century oil production that is intact, authentic — and operating. Using vintage equipment from the 1860s, Fairbank still produces about 24,000 barrels of oil annually from 350 wells with an average depth of 118 metres, each producing about one-fifth of a barrel daily.
"It's low volume but very consistent," says Christina Sydorko. "And all production goes to the Imperial refinery in Sarnia, so it's part of the refinery's output."
"Due to local geology we can't use modern technology to pressurize the reservoir, so the original production equipment continues to be the best way to recover oil from this deposit," says Charlie Fairbank. "Converting to modern pumpjacks wouldn't produce more oil but would cost a lot more, including triple the power consumption, and save the labour of only one person: me."
Designated in 1925 as a National Historic Site, Fairbank Oil Fields and the Oil Museum of Canada today work together to bring Canada's early oil industry to life.
"Credible information sources like Fairbank and this museum help generate industry support based on education," says Sydorko. "It's also about ongoing pride in the industry wherever we find it today — here in Ontario, in the West, and Atlantic offshore. Canada's oil industry has tremendous heritage and a long tradition of creativity and innovation. We've been international industry leaders for more than a century."
UNESCO calling, we hope
"Fairbank Oil is a preserved pocket of 1860s technology," says Sydorko. "What happened here had international significance for developing and exporting expertise, paved the way for further development of Canada's industry and set the bar for ingenuity."
The county-run museum and the private business of Fairbank Oil have joined forces to seek status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Obtaining UNESCO designation is no simple process. The site requires expert evaluation from two groups, the International Committee for the Conservation of Industrial Heritage and the International Council on Monument and Sites. A small international conference is planned for Sarnia and Oil Springs for August 2021, giving an opportunity for on-site assessment of the still-operating historic equipment.
"It's like looking for fossils and finding a living, breathing dinosaur," says Fairbank. "Our site is an operating, producing legacy that transcends individuals. It's the collective creation of everyone who ever worked here."

Spring is approaching, and with that comes longer days and sunny lunches sitting on terraces outside mountain restaurants. March and April are great months to go skiing: the pistes are emptier than at many other times of year, and the warmer weather makes it a great time for learning to ski. Accommodation prices can be lower, too.
As well as taking a look at the deals below, it's also worth checking the websites of the major tour operators. Make sure you stay safe: take local advice and have all the necessary equipment with you before even considering leaving the marked piste.

Lebanon's Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil said a report by Moody's Investors Service that downgraded the country's long-term investment ratings reflects the need for quickly forming a new government and implementing reforms, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
Khalil's statement came in a tweet Tuesday after Moody's downgraded the Lebanon's issuer ratings to Caa1 from B3.
The outlook was changed to stable from negative.
Moody's said its decision reflects the heightened risk that the government's response to increased liquidity and financial stability risks will include "a debt rescheduling or other liability management exercise that may constitute a default under Moody's definition," according to AP.
Lebanon's economy has been under pressure with a debt of $85 billion equal to 150 percent of its GDP and little growth.

Victoria Beckham has hilariously ripped into husband David Beckham and his pearly whites.
The fashion designer couldn't resist having a dig at the footballer after she was gifted an advent calendar from a fan, which was personalised with a photograph of the Beckham clan outside their Cotswolds home.
"So today I received this incredible advent calendar that was sent to me... How amazing are David's teeth?" she wrote on Instagram.
"But this is a personalised chocolate advent calendar and it was given to me by Kevin, who is a Spice Girls fan – a fan for 25 years – and he has written the most incredible letter that's really touched me actually.
"We really do have the most wonderful Spice Girls fans. I feel so blessed and so lucky and I love this. Thank you so much Kevin – and once again, check out my husband's teeth."
She then joked: "I mean… Is @davidbeckham wearing these teeth in for someone else?!?"
It's not the first time Victoria has publicly taken the Michael out of her husband.
Earlier this month she made another playful dig after a photo showing David in an eye-catching pair of boots went viral.
Victoria posted a photo of herself and David posing in their poppies in honour of Remembrance Day.
"Wearing our poppies with pride today!" she wrote, alongside a picture of herself and David wrapped up outside.
While the sentiment of the post was praised by many, a select few were distracted by David's choice of footwear, which quickly began doing the rounds online.
But while David's boots led to him being compared to everyone from Hagrid to Santa Claus, Victoria had a rather different character in mind when she made a savage comment about them on her Instagram story.
"Gaston wants his boots back," the former Spice Girls star and fashion designer joked, sharing a picture of the classic Disney villain, as well as the same photo of David.

Porsche Centre Silverstone customers Stuart and Pam bought their 981 Boxster in March 2018. They recently decided to take an European road trip through the scenic landscapes of France, Austria and Italy.
Stuart and Pam shared their 15 day journey log with us, along with a selection of stunning photographs of their Boxster in the snowy Alps.
The journey started with a 400 mile trip to Eastern France, before heading into Austria. They then battled the elements over the Brenner Pass into Italy, enjoying the stunning vistas of the Italian Lakes.
The return leg of their journey saw them departing from a lakeside resort west of Turin and heading back through France. The Boxster was certainly put through its paces along the twisting tarmac and hairpin bends of the French Alpine roads.
To top off the whole adventure, their final day was a 130-mile trip to the Eurotunnel at Calais, followed by another 150 miles to home. Their 15-day adventure saw them covering a total of 2,377 miles, with an impressive average of 36.13 mpg from the Boxster's flat 6 engine.
When asked how the Boxster performed over the entire journey, Stuart replied "Faultlessly! Through a mixture of driving roads and conditions the car was sure-footed and made for an easy and enjoyable holiday."
Responding to a question on what he likes most about his Boxster, Stuart commented "That's a difficult question because everything is good, and just works! Pam likes the speed and ease of closing the hood when necessary."
As our customers know, Porsche are second to none when it comes to creating an unforgettable driving experience. Whether it's a continental grand tour, like Stuart and Pam's, or a few laps around the race circuit, we'd love to hear about your Porsche adventures. Please contact us on 01327 355 911 or firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like to share them with us.
