Negotiating a good restaurant lease or lease renewal can be a challenge.
While restaurateurs are well-versed in the ways of marketing, managing, and menus, they are not always knowledgeable about real estate. Most restaurant tenants may through the leasing process once or twice in their lifetime, yet they find themselves up against seasoned professionals who negotiate leases every day for a living.
Their job is to sell tenants on leasing their location at the highest possible rental rate.
So, how can you be sure to get the best rates when you're leasing restaurant space?
Whether you are negotiating a lease renewal, or leasing a new location for the first time for your restaurant, here are a few insider tips every restaurateur should have in their back pocket.
All too frequently, restaurant tenants enter into lease negotiations unprepared and don't even try winning the negotiations. Instead, they mistakenly set their sights on striking a fair deal and then call it a day.
Don't adopt the "good enough" philosophy. If you are not negotiating to win, you won't.
With big commissions at stake, you can be sure the landlord's agent is always negotiating fiercely to win. Restaurant tenants should remember that it is okay to negotiate assertively.It's your business after all: No one will fight for it if you don't.
Set aside your emotions and make objective decisions. Whoever most needs to make a lease deal will concede in order to secure the location. Developing a mindset that includes walking away from any deal that doesn't suit your needs will save you a lot of time, money, and aggravation. A good restaurant business in a poor location will become a poor business.
Real estate agents and brokers typically work for the landlord, who is paying their commission. It is not normally the agent's role to get the restaurant tenant the best deal – it is their job to get the landlord the highest rent, the biggest deposit, etc.
The higher the rent you pay, the more space you agree to lease, and the longer lease term you sign for, the more commission the agent earns.
If you are researching multiple properties, try to deal directly with the listing agent for each property, rather than letting one agent show you around or show you another agent's listing. Your tenancy is more desirable to the listing agent if he can avoid commission-splitting with other agents.
A good quarterback can take the snap from center, fake the handoff to his running back, and then pass the ball to an open receiver, thereby not broadcasting his intentions. As a prospective restaurant tenant, avoid saying phrases like:
These are called buying signals and they always serve to weaken your bargaining position. Don't let what you say, and the words you choose, work against you.
Some of the best inside information available comes from tenants already in the building. Introduce yourself as a prospective tenant, and ask for their honest opinion of the landlord. Inquire about the level of property maintenance, the rental rates, their future intentions to stay another leasing term, and so on. What you learn may surprise you; use this information wisely in your own negotiations.
Even if the first offer seems reasonable, or you have no idea of what to negotiate for, never accept the leasing agent's first offer.
More often than not, the first offer or rental rate is inflated; many agents start leasing negotiations at a higher number so they have the wiggle room to give in slightly. While you may meet a few exceptions to this, the majority of agents build in room to maneuver and expect you to counter-offer.
Several factors will determine your bargaining strength with respect to negotiating a new restaurant lease or a lease renewal. These include the overall vacancy rate of the building, recent tenant turnover, and your restaurant's size in relation to the entire property.
Additionally, your ownership status is important (are you opening a restaurant independently or joining a franchise?) as well as your business history, and credit history.
If you want three months free rent, then ask for five months. No one ever gets more than they ask for, so ask for more than you actually want. Be prepared for the landlord to counter-offer and negotiate with you as well. Don`t be afraid of hearing `no` from the landlord – counter-offers are all part of the game.
Restaurant tenants often pay for phantom space. Most restaurant tenants are paying their rent per square foot, but often they are not receiving as much space as the lease agreement says. Do your due diligence.
The leasing process is just that – a process, not an event. To put it in runner's terms: it's a marathon, not a sprint.
The more time you have to research your best deal and make counter-offers, the better the chance you have of getting what you really want. Too often, restaurant tenants mistakenly try to hammer out the deal in a two- or three-hour session. It is more beneficial to negotiate in stages over time.
Unless you have money to throw away, it pays to educate yourself. Whether you listen in on a real estate ownership webinar, read up on the leasing laws in your area, watch some videos to help with your negotiating skills, or connect with other restaurant owners in your area - it will make a difference. With hundreds of thousands of dollars in rent at stake, personal guarantees and other risks, you can't afford to gamble. In leasing, restaurant tenants don't get what they deserve, they get what they negotiate.

Getting Your Design House in Order
On Tuesday, February 16, 2016, The Runway, Lansing's fashion incubator, kicked off its 2016 Fashion 411 speaker series with the highly energetic duo, Claire and Shawn Buitencorp of Shock & Awww. Foster Swift was proud to be a sponsor of the event, but I did not prompt them to advise attendees to take care of legal matters. I was, of course, pleased to hear that advice coming from this successful duo, along with their advice to know when to rely on others to advance your business and the importance of research.
Like Shawn and Claire, the designers that I know who are successful or clearly on the track to being successful are always searching for information. Even if you are the beneficiary of an excellent, formal education design instruction, no one will hold your hand and tell you what to do after you graduate. Anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur needs to continually self-educate and research if they want to be successful.
I also did a little bit of research, before attending the Shock & Awww presentation. I noticed that when Claire and Shawn originally formed their LLC, they had the assistance of MSU's College of Law Small Business & Nonprofit Clinic. I raise this not to direct designers to a particular clinic or attorney, but to encourage you to include, in your research, efforts to find affordable services. I mentor designers at The Runway and at DGG's fashion incubator in Detroit. I offer, and sometimes talk my colleagues into offering, low cost services because we want to see you start your business with a proper foundation.
Whether you were inspired by Shawn and Claire or were otherwise motivated to question what you need to do to form a legal entity and get your fledgling design business up and running, here is an easy way to start. Check out our video series, created with the busy start-up entrepreneur in mind. I suggest fashion start-ups begin with two videos: Forming a Business Entity and What is a Trademark? Thanks to my research, I know that Shock & Awww has registered trademarks – both a word mark and their logo. Kudos to Claire and Shawn! If you missed our Make Your Mark Fashion 411 presentation in 2015, and you would like to know more about the importance of a trademark to a fashion designer, just give me a call.
Even if you anticipate that you will relocate your design business to New York, LA, or elsewhere, you can benefit from forming your entity and registering your trademark while you are in Michigan, or reach back to Michigan after you have relocated. For many basic but important legal needs, the location of your attorney does not matter, and, much like the cost of housing, the cost of legal assistance increases dramatically when you are looking in a big city.

Historic Trail at Ruby Lake Refuge, NV
The Fort Ruby interpretive trail opened in 2015 following ten years of archaeological digging and research to learn more about the fort.
Colonel Patrick E. Connor established Fort Ruby in Nevada on September 4, 1862, to protect the Overland Stage and Pony Express Route, the main road crossing Nevada in the 1850s and 1860s. Within months, the 3rd Infantry of California Volunteers had built the fort's log structures, including officers' houses, a hospital, barracks for enlisted men, a blacksmith shop, brig and stable. Pony Express stations were built about every 20 miles so riders could change horses. As many as 300 soldiers were stationed there, calling Fort Ruby the "worst post in the West" because of its remote location.
In 1863, the Treaty of Ruby Marsh was signed at the fort with members of the Western Shoshone. The U.S. government forced signing of the treaty, which represents a broken promise for the Western Shoshone. Only a fraction of the promised cattle was given and the Ruby Valley reservation was never established.
The fort was abandoned in 1869 when the transcontinental railroad was completed. The buildings were auctioned off to local ranchers who hauled them away. Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge acquired the original fort in 2002 and began restoration.
Between 2005 and 2011, one-week volunteer projects were scheduled annually through the U.S. Forest Service's Passport in Time program to help uncover foundations and artifacts related to Fort Ruby. The site of the fort is located on both U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Forest Service land. Early searches found U.S. Army uniform buttons, coins and the small head of a 19th century porcelain doll.
The short trail features interpretive panels that tell the story of the fort, including the fate of the treaty with the Shoshone. Evelyn Temoke-Roche, a member of the Western Shoshone tribe, provided a spiritual blessing during the trail opening. "This history brings back memories. It brings back emotions. We can't forget."

IN the wake of the coup attempt which took place in Turkey on Friday, Tanzania has joined other world leaders to condemn the act, noting that so far there were no reports of any Tanzanians who have been caught up in the crisis.
Speaking in a telephone interview with the 'Sunday News', the Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, East Africa, Regional and International Cooperation, Ambassador Ramadhan Mwinyi, said Tanzania denounced the said attempt.
"So far we have not received any news regarding our citizens in Turkey, though the country does not have an embassy there," he said.
Mwinyi, however, said that the Tanzanian Embassy in Italy is liaising with the Turkish authorities to find out more details on whether there were any citizens caught up in the crisis.
The government, on the other hand, is closely monitoring the situation and already the president and prime minister of Turkey have issued statements on the issue. "We don't expect the worse to inflict on our people, but we are alert and following the situation very closely.
In case of any developments, we will keep the public posted," he noted.
Meanwhile, some 2,839 soldiers, including high-ranking officers, have been arrested after an attempted coup that is now over, says Turkey's PM Binali Yildirim. It was a "black stain on Turkish democracy," he said, with 161 people killed and 1,440 wounded. Explosions and gunfire were heard in Ankara, Istanbul and elsewhere overnight and thousands of Turks heeded President Erdogan's call to rise up against the coupplotters.
It is unclear who was behind the coup. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has blamed a 'parallel structure' - a reference to Fethullah Gulen, a powerful but reclusive US-based Muslim cleric whom he accuses of fomenting unrest. Mr Gulen has rejected any suggestion of links to what happened, saying he condemned "in the strongest terms, the attempted military coup in Turkey".

Define the Insulin
Insulin function is a wonderful remedy. insulin definition, insulin resistance, insulin production, insulin pump, makes the needs of most people easily and have a better remedy than herbs.
What is insulin definition? What is insulin function? If you have sort of questions, you have come to the right page. Here we are not only going to explain the insulin definition, but also the insulin resistance information about insulin function and its relatable for you.
Define the insulin
The insulin definition should be prevalent to describe the hormone produced by the pancreas to allow the body to use glucose or sugar from carbohydrates in the food. Insulin definition has the insulin function to help keep the blood sugar level from getting too high or too low. most importantly The insulin function is very important because our body cells need sugar for energy. Therefore Long story short, the insulin definition helps to insulin resistance balance out your blood sugar levels and keep them in the normal rate.
So, what happens if the insulin function not properly? If your body does not have enough insulin definition, then the insulin function could be deteriorated. Therefore Your body can insulin resistance develop hyperglycemia as the bad insulin function occurs. By this insulin definition, the lack of insulin can procure complications in the future.
The Resistance
Amongst the many questions, there is the insulin resistance as one of them. The insulin resistance is the term to describe the resistance toward the signal that hormone insulin tries to send out. most importantly That means with the insulin resistance, your body can't ttake the glucose for fuel. The insulin resistance is relatable to diabetes type 2 rather than type 1. In diabetes type 1, the root problem is in the insulin production. Therefore The less insulin production make the body cannot take the glucose from the blood. With such poor insulin production, the body will lack of insulin.
It is a bit different with diabetes type 2. The insulin production in this condition is more than normal. However, the body tends to resist the insulin. That's why it is called as insulin resistance.
insulin production
In type 1 diabetes, the patients will inject insulin to replace the insulin production roles. As we mentioned, the poor insulin production make the body lack of insulin.
most importantly In type 2 diabetes, it is also possible that the insulin production is compromised. That's why the diabetes 2 patients also need insulin injections or insulin pump to manage the blood sugar levels.
Replacing of injection
In controlling blood sugar levels, many people are disturbed with frequent injections. Here is where the insulin pump comes to help. The insulin pump therapy is discrete and better. The insulin pump replaces the frequent injection by contributing insulin 24/7. With the insulin pump, the patients won't need to be bothered with the injections. It is also easy to attain insulin pump from the trustworthy insulin pump providers online.

GREAT FROM Kolkata, New Delhi, Kanpur
GREAT FOR A walk into the past
The year is 1857. The natives in the British East India Company's army have taken up arms, and have revolted against the sahibs that lord over them. A few thousand Britons have retreated to the safety of the gated enclave created for them by Nawab Saadat Ali Khan II. As the days turn into months, and the cannonballs keep coming, the water starts running out and the living conditions become appalling. Respite finally comes, but it's a bit too late for many people, including children, holed up inside The Residency. The besieged colonialists take refuge in the damp, dark cellars, with no access to basic sanitation, and of the 3,000-odd people, around 2,000 die.
As you wander through this expanse of green gardens and crumbling ruins, it's difficult to imagine the horror faced by the people once trapped here. It's a serene place, this, and invites you to settle down under a tree with a gripping read – Dalrymple's White Mughals, perhaps?
Do also make a quick walkthrough of the 1857 Memorial Museum, and spend some time wandering through the Begum's Kothi, the residence of Begum of Nasir-ud-Din Haidar, as well as the atmospheric ruins of the lovely mosque and imambara (shrine) in which she worshipped.
The Residency isn't the only place in the city where you'll hear stories of the Siege of Lucknow, though. Head over to La Martinière College, whose students famously assisted in the defence of The Residency. This beautiful complex is centred around the gorgeous Constantia, built to be the residence of Major-General Claude Martin, who died before it was completed. One of the clauses in the eccentric Major-General's will was that his home be converted into a school for young men. Another – that he be buried beneath Constantia, in a vault in which he rests to this day. Funny story about how the man died – it is believed that he fancied himself a bit of a doctor, and decided to operate on himself and pull out his kidney stones – a mission at which he sadly failed.
Stories aside, this college is of the sort that makes its way into movies, or reminds you of schools described in Enid Blyton books. Expansive green spaces, a stable full of horses (some with rather amusing names), and even some monuments and crypts thrown in for good measure. You'll even come across the tomb and memorial to the good Major-General's favourite lady friend Boulone Lise. This gracious green tomb, colloquially known as 'Gori Bibi ka Maqbara', photographs well from the outside, but it's not much to look at from within. You can only visit the school with prior permission; tour agency Tornos offers a specialised tour. Swing by the whitewashed Christ Church to find more Colonial remnants. This Gothic church holds within its cool walls memorials to people killed in the siege of 1857. Another little-known gem is the Church of the Epiphany, worth visiting just for the redbrick Gothic façade. With its wealth of Nawabi heritage, it's very easy to forget the lasting influence and impact the British had on this city.

Omar Khayyam was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, poet and philosopher.
He was born in what is now Iran in the year 1048 and he was widely respected by his contemporaries and succeeding generations.
In fact his work is still widely respected today and arguably he remains one of the most important cultural figures in Middle Eastern history.
Here are 15 quotes by Omar Khayyam which I think reflect his philosophy.
Quotes by Omar Khayyam:
- Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. ~Omar Khayyam
- My friend, let's not think of tomorrow but let's enjoy this fleeting moment of life. ~Omar Khayyam
- Dead yesterdays and unborn tomorrows, why fret about it, if today be sweet? ~Omar Khayyam
- I have not asked for life but I try to accept whatever life brings without surprise and I shall depart again without having questioned anyone about my strange stay here on earth. ~Omar Khayyam
- The value of three things is justly appreciated by all classes of men: youth by the old; health by the diseased; and wealth by the needy. ~Omar Khayyam
- When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back. ~Omar Khayyam
- A hair divides what is false and true. ~Omar Khayyam
- As far as you can avoid it, do not give grief to anyone. Never inflict your rage on another. If you hope for eternal rest, feel the pain yourself; but don't hurt others. ~Omar Khayyam
- Realise this: one day your soul will depart from your body and you will
be drawn behind the curtain that floats between us and the unknown. While you wait for that moment, be happy, because you don't know where you came from and you don't know where you will be going. ~Omar Khayyam
- Give me a flagon of red wine, a book of verses, a loaf of bread, and a little idleness. If with such store I might sit by thy dear side in some lonely place, I should deem myself happier than a king in his kingdom. ~Omar Khayyam
- The moving finger writes, and having written moves on. Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit, can cancel half a line of it. ~Omar Khayyam
- It's too bad if a heart lacks fire and is deprived of the light of a heart ablaze. The day on which you are without passionate love is the most wasted day of your life. ~Omar Khayyam
- A loaf of bread, a jug of wine and thou. ~Omar Khayyam
- To be free of belief and unbelief is my religion. ~Omar Khayyam
- There was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see. ~Omar Khayyam

For more than fifteen years, Chef's Noodle House commanded the corner of Havana and Sixth Avenue, but back in February, its Vietnamese chef and noodle emperor, Billy Lam, whose family once owned T-Wa Inn, shuttered the joint and disconnected the phone. But the space didn't stay empty for long. Earlier this month, Pho Havana made its debut at 10400 East Sixth Avenue, serving its namesake bowls of fragrant nectar bulked up with slippery noodles, slices of brisket, flank, tendon, tripe and steak and ribbons of fatty flank submerged in beef broth redolent with cinnamon, scallions and soft cables of white onions. There is vegetarian pho, chicken pho and the "Adventurer's Choice" pho, which is really just a customizable slurpfest of whichever meats you feel like lobbing in. The pho is good -- not ethereal, but certainly legitimate -- and the smallish plate of herbs, mounded with bean sprouts, lime wedges, rings of jalapenos, Vietnamese purple basil and cilantro (if you ask) make the steaming liquid sing.
The menu also includes Vietnamese noodle bowls, spring rolls and egg rolls and a smattering of Chinese and Thai dishes, including shrimp lo mein, fried rice, pad Thai and papaya salad. The fat and filling spring rolls -- some of the best I've had in Denver -- are deftly wrapped, stuffed with fresh mint leaves, noodles, shrimp and shredded pork and served with the requisite peanut sauce drizzled with chile paste.

How to hire a logo designer
So you're starting a new business, congrats! You've got a plan, a product or an idea and you're ready to rock.
I would suggest hiring a professional logo designer from the beginning rather than creating a logo yourself and then rebranding down the road. You're going to be working hard to build an audience and brand equity from the start and that's much more valuable if you have good long-term visual branding to capture that value from the beginning.
You need a logo to represent your business but maybe you're not exactly sure where to start. It can feel like a confusing process, especially if you've never done it before. Here are some steps to make hiring and working with a logo designer easier and more effective.
Define a budget. This part is tricky but important. It doesn't have to be exact but give some thought to it and try and figure out a ballpark amount you're able to invest.
Before you contact anyone, spend some time thinking about your goals for the brand. What do you want it to communicate and who should it speak to? Here are a series of questions to ask yourself that will help define the brand direction. Some designers will ask you these in their creative brief as part of the process.
Creative Brief
• What is the business name exactly as you'd like for it to appear in the design.
• Do you have a tagline for your brand? If so, what is it?
• Who is your ideal target audience?
• What are your goals for the logo design / brand?
• Who all will be involved in this project on your end and what will their roles be.
• What specific message would you like your design to communicate?
• Do you have a full concept in mind for the logo or are you looking for help creating concept options?
• Are there any specific colors you have in mind?
• Will your logo have an icon, or will it be just text? If an icon, what specifically do you have in mind?
• Are there any logos / brands / styles you like?
• Is there specific fonts or font styles that you feel drawn to for the brand?
• What differentiates you from other companies in your industry? What is your competitive advantage?
Now that you've got an idea of the message you want to communicate and the people you're trying to reach, you can start looking for the perfect designer. Look through some portfolios to find someone whose work you like that fits with the vision you have for your business. Local is good but remote can work just as well.
Contact a designer whose work you like with the information you gathered in the creative brief and request an estimate. If you have a budget defined you can also include that and ask what they could provide within that range.
Once you've chosen a designer and worked out an agreement you're ready to get started. Every designer works a little differently but I'll outline some common parts of the process in another post.
Get in touch.

How To Search
Please Watch The Video First!
This site has several thousand products available divided up into:
- First letter of manufacturer name
- All the manufacturer names starting with that letter
- A Specific manufacturer
- Products
3 Ways to quickly find what you are looking for:
1. The easiest way to find what you are looking for is to use the search box on the top right hand side of the page (desktop) or centrally located at the top (mobile):
It has an autosearch similar to Google and will start searching as you type:
It isn't necessary to type in the manufacturer and model and type of equipment - that may result in dozens of irrelevant results.
A much simpler method is to just type in the model eg: AC30 or Plexi or Bandit.
If you put the search string in inverted commas eg: "Vox AC30" then the search will use that exact term which helps to narrow down the number of items found:
2. We also have an 'EASY SEARCH' page HERE where you can enter the model info, select the manufacturer and search.
3. If all else fails, email us HERE

Jazz In My Bones
Contributor: Mike de Sousa, Director, AbleStable®
Exploring the nature of musicianship and the impact of this still mysterious and nurtured ability.
Making the connection
...There was a moment at fourteen years of age when I became conscious of a profound physical connection with rhythm. That moment brought me into the family of musicians...
I realised that 'felt' rhythmical patterns and structures in music are the key to becoming musical. Perhaps an instinctive ability to 'feel' these patterns had been there all along. I guessed this is what people meant when they said I was a 'natural musician', on the other hand I knew in my heart that although people had praised me for being 'musical' I'd only just entered the limitless possibilities of exploring and experiencing the world of music.
An island voyage
Becoming a musician is like journeying a strange and powerful sea. A musician is a lone sailor who ventures far then returns home to find the journey has changed everything. The self-discipline of practice, the acquisition of musical knowledge, and the development of musicianship sets musicians apart from those around them. This sense of seperation is equally experienced by anyone who devotes considerable time and effort in developing their expressive and creative skills.
In a formal setting where young people adopt the paths educational institutions provide, musicians begin to establish themselves into a musical community that provide opportunities to perform, work with, and be praised among. The danger of such a community is the cocooned and dislocated state of mind that so often results from spending the majority of time with others who see and experience the world in a similar way.
Musicians and their families will continue to be drawn towards a context where achievements can be easily recognised and rewarded, but the cost of that security is the separation of many musicians from the common person on the street.
The voice of the many
Jazz music, like all styles of music before it, has been adopted then encouraged as part of an established repertoire by formal educational and cultural institutions.
Jazz music is now a body of art-music that is studied, performed, and given status by the cultural elite. Despite this, there remains at the heart of jazz music, a voice that touches the many. Why this should be, and how jazz music connects to what is the essence of being a musician, is the focus of the remainder of this article.
Something moves, we move
When we are exposed to a sound pattern that is out of the ordinary (but at least persistent enough that we recognise the sound as a pattern), we respond at a fundamentally curious and physical level. This visceral message and response to sound and time is the kernel of music.
We are inextricably connected with our world in a profound 'principle of movement': as objects move, our bodies move. A ball bounces, the sound wave strikes our ear drum: a part of us moves. The signal, the connection, is made. We become a part of the music, it is why we dance.
Complicated rhythm
Jazz music is rhythmically complex. As humans we have a contradictory relationship with complexity. We enjoy experiencing complexity but are far less enthusiastic about understanding complexity. I guess that's why I've always loved the ideas that science issues, yet rarely pursued the revelations mathematics can bring.
The division of time
Stay with me during the following section as I attempt to uncover the root of the difference between much Western music and Jazz music. This may sound a little esoteric at times, but is crucial in understanding the character of jazz music.
In western Art Music (often referred to as 'Classical' music) the spaces of time between sounds that differ (the rhythm), are most often confined to fractions that evenly split a pulse. The beat (an even and regular pulse that may be heard or internalised) is most often split into half, a quarter, an eighth and so on. On less frequent occasions triplets of one kind or another can be found in Western Art Music. Triplets are where the beat, or group of beats, are divided into three. The division of a beat into 3 is more complex than by 2. Divide 1 by 2 and you get a half (0.5). Divide 1 by 3 and you get a third (0.33 recurring).
'Classical' Musicians often find complex triplets difficult to perform because of the need to divide time into elaborate fractions. Jazz music however is characterised by the frequent use of triplets and more 'difficult' fractions. Those who enjoy jazz have an innate ability to perceive (although not necessarily to understand) these fractions of time. Jazz musicians have the ability to perceive and coordinate their physical movements with these time divisions when playing a musical instrument (again not necessarily understanding their instinctive ability).
All that jazz
I have used the term 'Jazz Music' throughout this article in a very broad fashion. My intention was to uncover the root of what defines jazz music. Although jazz harmony is an important element of jazz music, like all music, the primary element is time. Harmony is the way notes progress and relate in terms of pitch (pitch is how high or low a sound is, a note is a sound with a dominant pitch).
Time is our primary element. It is time and the perception of it that creates the profound union we have with music.
Of sound voice and heart
Music at it's best does not only make us move, but also makes us feel. It seems our connection with the world is made easy when we, together with others, break into common voice and become far more than an island alone.

It's that time of the year when writers and pundits put together recaps of the past twelve months and offer opinions about the significance of what happened over the past year, along with predictions on what big events are on the horizon.
As an avid reader and consumer of healthcare industry news, it's fair to say – a lot happened in 2018 in the world of healthcare and information technology. I encapsulated what I consider five significant happenings that had profound influences on healthcare coverage, how technology extends healthcare and some moves and pronouncements by a few notables who helped us look a little differently about what really matters in healthcare.
Okay, drum roll please!
So there you have it.
But wait. Bonus 2018 recap: There's been an abundance of unhappy and controversial news from 2018 but one thing stands out as an amazing positive story about healthcare, teamwork, and international cooperation. The story is the world-captivating search and rescue of the boys' soccer team and its coach deep in the cave at Thom Luang in Thailand. A Talix strategic advisor, Dr. Paul Auerbach and an authority on wilderness medicine, was interviewed several times by international news services about the healthcare issues associated with this event.
Now, here are my five predictions for 2019. Let's have another drum roll!
And now, for a bonus prediction. (Actually it's a pitch). I predict Talix will help dozens of health plans finally achieve better than 95% accuracy in submitting HCC codes to CMS, which others have promised but have struggled to achieve. Along that line, Talix's new Claims InSight product, which will help health plans avoid billions of dollars in potential audit fines and claw backs, brings significant relief to health plan CEOs and boards. Last but not least, physician leaders will rejoice that Coding InSight and its partners will reduce the number of clicks medical professionals need to understand the medical acuity of the healthcare population they manage.
Happy New Year!

You've probably seen a roadside memorial at some point in your life. They are usually erected by loved ones in the spot where a family member or friend has died.
Some are simple, such as a single white cross, while others tend to accumulate more memories – stuffed animals, flowers, hats, and other mementos of a life lost. One such memorial sat just outside a plot of land in Richmond, California owned by Chevron.
The energy giant has business dealings in 180 countries. They are the kind of big company that, when they post revenue of $110 billion dollars (as they did in 2016), it can be considered a "down year."
The memorial had been sitting outside of this particular property for over ten years. It was almost professional in its presentation.
There were flowers, angel statues, bushes and even solar-activated lights. All of it kept up and maintained, but anonymously so.
Everyone was aware of the memorial but no one knew who it honored or who maintained it. And this arrangement seemed to work for everyone involved until late 2016 when it was time to make some changes to the property.
To their credit, Chevron, didn't want to discount the emotional importance of the memorial. So they placed a note on it, asking the unknown caretaker to come forward.
"I just knew they were going to take it down" Ray Olson told MSN.
Olson had always headed to the memorial in the dark of night to take care of it. In the back of his head, he always knew though that this would come.
In his wildest dreams though, he never imagined that Chevron would take the memorial down only to erect a new one. But that's exactly what they did.
Chevron enlisted the help of neighborhood council president Cesar Zepeda in creating something that would better stand the test of time. Together they installed a plaque with a photo of Olson's son next to a park bench.
They put these in a nearby park for all to see and use as a quiet spot as needed. Joe Lorenz, of Chevron, told MSN "We said, 'This is your spot, Ray. You no longer have to come at night.'"

Director Toph Wallace has selected the cast for A Flea in Her Ear, in production at Church Hill Theatre between March 29 and April 14. The play, a French farce written by Georges Feydeau and adapted by the comedic talent of David Ives.
The play is set around the turn of the 20th century in Paris and tells the story of Raymonde Chandebise who suspects her husband, Victor of being unfaithful. To catch him, Raymonde's best friend Lucienne suggests arranging a rendezvous with an imaginary secret admirer at the Frisky Puss Hotel, and then catching him when he meets her. Of course, the plan goes awry with a host of characters running around and confusing everything and everyone. Mistaken identities, jealousy, and more will put the audience in stiches.
Wallace has assembled a talented cast to tackle this riotous comedy. Raymonde and her husband Victor are played by Hester Sachse and Brad Chaires (Chaires has a double role as Monsieur Chandebise and Poche the Frisky Puss Hotel's porter). Natalie Lane and Howard Mesick take on the roles of Lucienne and her husband Don Carlos Homenides de Histangua. Tournel, best friend to Chandebise, and a bit of a rake, is played by Dan Guidice. Robbie Spray takes on the role of Camille, nephew to Victor, while Minnie Maloney plays Raymonde's flirtatious maid Antoinette, and Michael Moore is her jealous husband, the Chandebise valet, Etienne. Doctor Finache, a somewhat suspect medical expert is played by Bryan Zajchowski. At the Frisky Puss, we meet Faraillon the hotel's owner, and his wife played by Herb Ziegler and Mary Zober. Their maid Eugenie is played by Shannon Whitaker. Steve Atkinson and Troy Strootman take on the roles of a rheumatic drunkard and confused Englishman respectively.
A Flea in He Ear is set to be a fantastic event on the Church Hill stage. With two settings, a talented cast, and a hilarious script, this show is sure to entertain.
The production team includes Stage Manager, Michelle Christopher; Producer, Sylvia Maloney; Costumer, Juanita Wieczoreck; Set Designer, Shelagh Grasso; Set Construction Carmen Grasso and Tom Rhodes; Lighting Designer, Nic Carter; Photographer Genevieve Croker.
A Flea in Her Ear opens at Church Hill Theatre on March 29, 2019, and runs through April 14, with performances on Friday and Saturday nights at 8 pm and Sunday afternoons at 2 pm. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for members and $10 for students, with special prices for groups of ten or more. CHT offers 2 for the price of 1 tickets on opening night, Friday, March 29, to those who reserve by phone. Reservations can be made by calling the box office at 410-556-6003 or online at www.churchhilltheatre.org

Last week, my husband and I were blessed with the opportunity to spend a few days at Old Edwards Inn, in Highlands, North Carolina. We've been able to escape to this special spot a few times, and each visit surprises us with new adventures and a deeper love for the city and resort. As a destination wedding expert, I can't recommend Old Edwards Inn and it's wide variety of accommodations and venues enough. Nestled among the mountains, you'd be hard pressed to find a place that could beat the views, food, amenities and attentive staff at Old Edwards Inn. It really is impossible for me to adequately convey all of the wonderful details of this mountain destination wedding dream. So, I'm going to hit my faves, as well as, give you the scoop on their newest venue addition!
As you consider inviting your guests to a unique destination wedding location, that truly reflects who you are as a couple, details matter. Guest experience is so very important when asking guests to spend a weekend away, and it's one of Old Edwards Inn's strengths. Not only does the 45-minute mountain drive, into the mountains help transport your guests away from the hustle and bustle of city life, it's also a magical journey filled with breathtaking vistas and waterfall hikes. This is the first time that my husband and I stopped to take it all in, and we managed to go on three waterfall hikes during our three day stay. It really felt like an escape from reality for us, and when we arrived in Highlands, North Carolina at Old Edwards Inn, exhausted from the day's adventures – they were ready! Every guest at the Old Edwards properties is created by a glass of champagne or Dove chocolate bar! I mean, does it get better than that?! I really adore how Old Edwards has embraced and integrated the magic of the mountains + the cute downtown scene into their property. It feels cohesive and unified.
A lot of destination wedding locations are limited in the variety of accommodations offered for your guest. That is NOT the case at Old Edwards, which has purchased and now offers several different accommodation options for your guests, at different price points. The best part?! They are all extremely nice, clean and well staffed – with great amenities. Hence the gorgeous pool + hot tub shot below. Rest assured, an Old Edwards property experience will be comfortable and above par in every way for your guests. They even offer large home rentals, in town, which are perfect for the wedding party or a collection of family or friends to share. What a fun win!
My favorite new (to me) accommodations was the Half Mile Farm property. I had seen it online and fell in love, so my husband and I stopped on the way to our hotel to check it out. Wow. What an escape for your guests. And the best part? You can actually rent out this entire property for your wedding weekend, transforming it into the ultimate wedding destination and your personal party for three days! Imagine your guests arriving to cocktails in your own private bar, and lawn games in full swing! The cabins on site, provide the ultimate authentic mountain experience and would be a lovely backdrop for a barbecue and Friday night welcome party.
Chris and I were lucky enough to snag two paddle boards and scoot around the lake on the property at Half Mile Farm while we were there. It was too much fun, and I spotted some bicycles and kayaks we will have to try next time. Half Mile Farm is most certainly a new favorite, and I can't wait to see us do a lakeside, mountain ceremony with an al fresco reception on site. Just pure magic.
In case you were wondering what the food + customer service is like at Old Edwards, need we say more?!
Relais & Châteaux is an exclusive group of over 550 hotels and restaurants operated by professionals who share a passion for outstanding hospitality, incredible cuisine and local heritage. It is no small feat to be invited into this collection of outstanding properties, and Old Edwards is an amazing fit into this exceptional community.
Okay, okay, I know! I promised that I would give you the scoop on the latest wedding venue option on at Old Edwards. And honestly, I'm over the moon to share it with you. If you've ever seen a wedding at The Farm (you can check out the weddings we've done at Old Edwards Inn here), you know that it's all about a lush garden feel. Couples swoon over their picturesque garden ceremony spot and portrait locations. It's perfection. But, could it be better? I didn't think so, BUT the staff at Old Edwards is always innovating and pushing themselves to be their absolute best, and they have indeed improved the most perfect wedding location to now include The Orchard House.
The new 3,410 square foot open concept, ceremony + reception space within the gardens at The Farm is a huge win for our clients and you if you're considering an event in the Highlands, it's a must see. The walls quite literally open up on all sides, via huge glass doors allowing you to have the comforts of a permanent covered space (luxe bathrooms and all), with the elegance of a lush English garden soiree. Pickled pine wood ceilings and ship-lap wall details make the space inviting and irresistible. The natural light is absolutely insane in this space and makes for the best photos. Y'all. I can't even. We are counting down the days to our May wedding in this space.

If you're considering a mountain destination wedding for your nuptials, I hope I've convinced you to spend a weekend checking out all that Old Edwards Inn and the Highlands have to offer. I promise you'll leave enchanted and feeling great about a weekend escape for all those your love.

Office Manager
Morgan has been training dogs since she was only 12 years old. For her, animal care has been a part of life ever since she can remember! Morgan's passion for pets simply never quit. She's been a member of North Kenny Veterinary Hospital's team since 2014, and is proud to serve the area's pets and animal owners as the Office Manager.
Morgan grew up in Springfield, Ohio with her mother, sister, and plenty of family dogs. She volunteered with the 4-H program until she aged out of the organization at 18 years old, then headed off to college to study sociology. Morgan worked part-time at the local humane society during her collegiate years, taking a full-time position there after graduation. Next, she became a Veterinary Assistant at several nearby clinics before moving to Columbus to continue her journey in animal care. Morgan became a full-time veterinary receptionist, gaining even more administrative skills, until joining the North Kenny Veterinary Hospital family as the Office Manager in 2014.
Most of Morgan's hobbies outside of work revolve around pets as well. She and her husband, Jon, live with two German shepherds: Thorne, who is currently working towards his Canine Good Citizen certification, and Dyson, who competes in conformation, nose-work, dock diving, and other activities. Morgan is also a 4-H advisor in two counties, and helps to teach children to train their own dogs. In addition, she recently started teaching puppy classes at a training facility near her home!

How to remove completed listings
I have exactly same request as member tn1969, how to remove completed listings?
I have been using jbidwatcher for a while now and have accumalated hundreds of completed listing which I can't remove. When I try and highlight the items to delete, the program stops responding and I have to end task the application. Obviously this is slowing the program down quite significantly and I have to close / restart a lot. I am looking for an alternative way to remove the completed listing other than the conventional way of reoving manually via the program. Anyone help?

WASHINGTON — Scott Pruitt resigned as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administrator Thursday, a move that comes after he had weathered months of mounting scrutiny over his behavior in the position.
President Donald Trump tweeted that he had accepted Pruitt's resignation, but did not acknowledge the string of scandals the administrator was facing.
Instead, Trump said Pruitt had done an "outstanding job."
I have accepted the resignation of Scott Pruitt as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Within the Agency Scott has done an outstanding job, and I will always be thankful to him for this. The Senate confirmed Deputy at EPA, Andrew Wheeler, will…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 5, 2018
Trump said Andrew Wheeler, the EPA's deputy administrator, will fill Pruitt's position next Monday.
…on Monday assume duties as the acting Administrator of the EPA. I have no doubt that Andy will continue on with our great and lasting EPA agenda. We have made tremendous progress and the future of the EPA is very bright!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 5, 2018
Pruitt, the former attorney general of Oklahoma, initially came under fire for using taxpayer money for personal travel, opulent office furnishings and for expanding the size and scope of his security detail beyond that of his predecessors.
The scrutiny intensified after it was revealed in April that he rented a condo from the wife of an energy lobbyist for only $50 a night.
Pruitt said there was nothing improper about the arrangement, but the reports fueled speculation that the administrator could be on his way out.
Instead, Trump repeatedly came to Pruitt's defense, even after additional concerns over his tenure came to light.
All in all, Pruitt is the subject of more than a dozen investigations, most recently one into reports that he used alternate calendars and schedules to hide meetings he had with energy industry representatives and others.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) heralded the resignation in a terse, one-word statement.
"Good," the watchdog group said.
