Baird reviews ins and outs of subcontracting
Editor's note: In last week's HME Newswire, we ran the story, "Subcontracting exacerbates problems with bid program." This is a follow-up.
AMARILLO, Texas – Healthcare attorney Jeff Baird says no provider likes subcontracting agreements; nevertheless, there are a large number of them out there.
"Because reimbursement is so low, to take that reimbursement and split it between two companies doesn't add up," he said. "It's a lose-lose."
But contract suppliers want to make up for that low reimbursement with additional volume, and subcontractors want to hold on to their referral sources, so here we are.
Here's what Baird had to say about how these agreements should be set up.
In a perfect world
"We have the contractor ABC and the subcontractor XYZ. ABC talks with the doctor; they get the order in; they make the decision as to whether or not the patient meets the medical necessity criteria. So ABC is the one that goes through the mental process. Then they call XYZ and say, 'OK, you need to take care of Mrs. Smith,' and XYZ does the heavy lifting. They deliver equipment; they educate Mrs. Smith and set her up; they handle repair and maintenance. ABC then bills Medicare, gets paid and pays XYZ."
In reality
"XYZ doesn't want to lose their referral sources for bid products and non-bid products, and doctors want one-stop shops. So the XYZs look at the CBIC website, see who the winners are and call them and say, 'We see that you have a contract for this CBA; I want to be your subcontractor.' Here's the hook: They also say, 'I'll send you all kinds of patients.' Doctors are loyal to XYZ, so they're going to continue to refer to XYZ, and XYZ is going to send patients to ABC."
Here's where it gets dicey
"The CBIC wants the referrals to go through ABC, not XYZ. Well, the subcontractors fudge that a little bit and often referrals do flow through subcontractors to contract suppliers. If the CBIC determines that, they might come in and say, don't do that."
"The other area that's a problem is if XYZ says to ABC, 'Here's everything; just bill for it.' You can't do that. If XYZ is doing everything, including the intake, and all ABC is doing is submitting a claim, that's a sham. It's critical that ABC has skin in the game."
Gold standard
"The gold standard would be for ABC to pay a fixed annual fee to XYZ, say $4,000 a month or $48,000 a year, to perform subcontract services. The silver standard is to actually have a fee schedule, a set dollar amount for each service rendered. It's not high risk, but it's not as clean as the gold standard."

Discovering The Sights Of Berlin
Possibly one of the most exciting and fulfilling things there is to do in Berlin, walking the Berlin wall and learning about its history is imperative whilst on a trip to Berlin. This guide aims to show you how to make the most out of your visit to the Berlin, by booking your apartments in Berlin or hotels Berlin early, and seeing the bits of the Berlin wall that are still left!
Understandably, most of the wall was demolished between June and November of 1990 after reunification. The wall represented separation, desperation and the inhumanity of the East German regime and it was for this reason that the wall was crushed and reused for road fill.
However, starting at the wall on the southern border of Wedding, you can get a feeling for what the wall was like. On the way you will see some of the remnants including the restored segment at the Gedenkenstätte Berliner Mauer and gain an impression of just how dividing this monstrosity was.
Although the wall divided the city and particularly during the first 20 years, strict patrolling of the wall to stop residents coming was high, towards the end of the Cold War, Berliners increasingly saw the wall as a joke and a symbol of the backwardness of the USSR which eventually crumbled in 1991. With this in mind, people became less and less scared of the authorities and graffiti began appearing on the wall at the start of the eighties. As well as this, the wall they painted on was a wall erected in 1976 by East German Border Troops, known as the 'Border Wall 75'. This concrete Wall was 3.60 metres high and painted white. Although painting was not allowed, the complete Wall system was on the territory of East Berlin many artists begun to paint on the Western side. There is lots of Berlin accommodation available, make sure you book in advance though!
Start at Invalidenstrasse, continue eastwards, a little further on is the Sandkrugbrücke, a former border crossing into East Berlin. A stone by the bridge commemorates the death of Günter Litfin, the first person to be shot dead attempting to escape to West Berlin. Turn left down the promenade by the canal continuing to the Invalidenfriedhof. The wall once ran through this graveyard and you will notice that the headstones of many graves are missing, done so as not to impair the sightlines of border guards. Victims of air raids and the Battle of Berlin are buried here and it is also the sight that West Berlin police shot dead an East Berlin guard to save a 15 year old boy who was in the process of escaping in 1962. Between here and Chausseestrasse there are few traces left of the wall, which ran roughly parallel to the canal before veering right. At the end of the street, pavement markings indicating the Wall's former course. A short section of the wall appears before the railway bridge at the junction with Gartenstrasse and left on to Bernauer Strasse is where many desperate escapes took place.

Funding Your EBT Program
There are plenty of ways to fund your SNAP/EBT Program, whether its through grants, vendor support or even sponsorship. The list below may help spur ideas on what will work best for your market.
1. Vendor Fees
Many farmers markets collect vendor fees as a means of supporting SNAP programs. Some programs charge a flat weekly, monthly, or seasonal fee, while others determine fees as a percentage of vendors' token sales. In this revenue option, a percentage is deducted from the vendor's token reimbursement check. Determine a fee structure that is fair to farmers and to the farmers market administering the program that, ultimately, should increase farmers' sales. Establishing a regular schedule of fee collection is a proven way to ensure a regular revenue stream to compliment other funding measures.
2. Shopper Support
Shopper support via a token "rental fee" or donation: Markets can ask shoppers to pay a "rental fee for service" to use the tokens received from using their credit or debit cards. This approach cannot be used with EBT cards. The standard "rental fee" to use debit/credit tokens is $1.00 or $2.00, but markets MUST be clear with posted signage at point of sale that the charge is for the use or "rental" of the tokens. Remind shoppers that this fee directly supports the market's ability to provide this service to them. As an alternative to the "token system fee," markets can also ask for voluntary donations for customers to "help make sure all members of the community can shop here, regardless of their income."
3. Shopper Surcharge or Checkout Fee for Using Credit Cards
A 2012 class action lawsuit against Visa and MasterCard resulted in a settlement that allows merchants in some states to charge their customers a fee for using credit cards. This allows businesses to offset the expense of credit card processing fees; however, there are many rules and considerations to understand before deciding whether this option will work at your market. Please go to http://www.cardfellow.com and search on their blog to see if this allowance applies to you.
4. In-kind Donations / Partnerships
While financial support is critical to the success of SNAP programs, non-monetary donations of time and services can reduce costs while fulfilling important market needs. Corporate volunteer teams can help with direct outreach for the program by distributing flyers and other promotional materials. University students are often willing to provide free graphic design work or assist with program evaluation. Local printing or media outlets may be willing to give the market free printing or distribution services. Reach out to local organizations and business to discover how they may be willing to contribute to your program outside of financial support.
5. Market Apparel & Branded Items
Many farmers market shoppers take pride in their local markets and relish the opportunity for branded merchandise such as tote-bags, shirts, or mugs. Be aware that selling merchandise at market does require management of cash and inventory on-site. Revenue streams from branded product sales are ideally suited to support general operating expenses, so if you intend to allocate profits specifically to a SNAP/EBT program, make sure that the use is very clear when products are marketed to customers when items are marketed. Ensure that any merchandise is sold at a profitable cost once materials, marketing, and staff time is accounted for.
6. Annual Appeals
Reaching out to market shoppers at the end of the year is a great way to share successful stories and statistics from the season while making a request for individual donations. Plan to make your appeal during the giving season (or at another significant time for your organization) and coordinate your donation ask across traditional and digital communications platforms to reach the largest audience. Additionally, consider maintaining a donation jar throughout the year at the market for small but consistent revenue stream. Check out FMC's webinar "Beyond the Brand: Marketing your Mission for Improved Community Support" for some additional ideas about fundraising.
7. Friends of the Market
Based on the subscription model of public radio stations, Friends of the Market programs allow market shoppers to support farmers markets through a monthly or annual membership fee. Members often receive pre-determined benefits for their donation—perhaps apparel from the market or admission to a celebratory end-of-season event—and can be encouraged to contribute to the market in other ways, such as volunteering.
8. Sponsorships
Sponsorships can be a significant source of funding for SNAP EBT programs and a way to establish important relationships with both local business and national corporations alike. Farmers market customers are a valuable demographic and many organizations are eager to promote their brand to this audience. Develop a sponsorship package to offer several tiers of opportunities to potential sponsors, such as branded merchandise, logo placement on market materials, or social media mentions and promotions.
9. Fundraising Events
Events related to food and farming are a fun way to raise funds for market operations and spread your mission. Farm-to-table dinners at restaurants which source locally, walks or runs, farm tours, silent or active auctions (including donations from local chefs or food producers), food- or health-related film screenings, or at-market festivals are great starting points for engaging, successful events.
10. Crowdfunding
Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and similar crowdfunding platforms are increasingly being utilized by farmers market operators to involve community members directly in funding SNAP EBT programs. Crowdfunding can be an effective way to reach a defined funding goal and an innovative means of reaching a broad network of shoppers. Offer creative and desirable perks in order to maximize contributions and make sure to tie any crowdfunding efforts into your social media presence.
11. Federal Grants and State Support
Securing a fiscal sponsor or non-profit status is instrumental to applying for grants, which can form the bedrock of your funding strategy. There are a number of foundations focused on expanding food access and affordability who regularly fund SNAP and incentive programs. The Healthy Food Access Portal maintains a comprehensive list of current funding opportunities; be sure to look to local as well as national and regional foundations to ensure a broad base of grant support.
In FY14, the USDA FNS awarded the Farmers Market Coalition (FMC) a contract to assist in improving and expanding SNAP at farmers markets nationwide. To fulfill one of the tasks included in the contract, FMC provided $1.5 million in free SNAP EBT equipment and services to farmers markets and direct marketing farmers through the Free SNAP EBT Equipment Program. Please note the 2017 application closed on November 21, and USDA FNS anticipates reopening the program in 2018 at a date to be determined. Farmers markets and direct-marketing farmers interested in obtaining equipment through this Program once it reopens in 2018 should email firstname.lastname@example.com to be placed onto a waitlist.
On May 5, 2015, the USDA FNS announced the availability of grants to enable more farmers markets to serve low-income families. The Farmers Market SNAP Support Grants ranged from $15,000 to $250,000 and were designed to increase SNAP client accessibility and participation at farmers markets, and supported the establishment, expansion, and promotion of SNAP EBT services at farmers markets. Eligible applicants included farmers market organizations and associations, non–profit entities, state, local and tribal nations and other organizations engaged in farmers market management.
- Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP)
This program, administered by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) since 2006, offers grants up to $100,000. A significant proportion of grantees have used FMPP funds to implement, expand, or promote SNAP EBT at farmers markets in order to meet the program goal of increasing domestic consumption of, and access to, locally and regionally produced agricultural products. Learn more about FMPP eligibility, upcoming funding opportunities and application development resources at www.ams.usda.gov/fmpp.
- Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Program (FINI)
The Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentives (FINI) Program provides grants on a competitive basis to projects that help low-income consumers participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) purchase more fresh fruits and vegetables through cash incentives that increase their purchasing power at locations like farmers markets. Increasing low-income communities' abilities to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables not only helps to improve the health of families, but also expands economic opportunities for farmers. You can read more about this program at https://farmersmarketcoalition.org/advocacy/fini/, or learn more about the outcomes of the first year of FINI funded programs at farmers market in FMC's report: Year One of the USDA FINI Program: Incentivizing the Purchase of Fruits and Vegetables Among SNAP Customers at the Farmers Market.
- Other Resources
Additionally, some states have allocated their own resources to help markets gain access to SNAP EBT equipment, cover service and transaction fees, and provide outreach. To see if your state is offering support for SNAP EBT at markets, take a look at FMC's State by State Resource List. If you have updates to add to this list, send us an email at email@example.com.

WeChat has strike one billion monthly users for a initial time, a owners of a Chinese messaging app has revealed.
The immeasurable infancy of a users are formed in China, where it's famous as Weixin, and where a new Lunar New Year increased it past a milestone.
But it is still lagging behind Facebook-owned WhatsApp that has about 1.5 billion monthly users.
WeChat is a valuables in a climax of Chinese tech hulk Tencent. But because is it so popular? Here are 5 reasons it has finished so well.
It's not usually about messaging
Sure, it began as a messaging app. And it does during initial peek demeanour and feel a bit like WhatsApp and Viber.
But WeChat developed quickly, and it lets users do many some-more than usually promulgate with their friends and family.
It serves as China's biggest amicable network. But it's also where people spin to book a taxi, sequence food, make a doctors appointment, do their banking, or find a date.
And when they are playing games like a outrageous Tencent-owned strike Honour of Kings, WeChat is where players review scores with their friends.
It has turn constituent to a daily life of many in China, generally in a cities.
It is utterly probable to get by an whole day regulating a app for (pretty much) your any need, that means it's usually going to grow.
It creates profitable for things simple
The expansion of digital payments in China means many younger people have skipped a credit label judgment for profitable online.
Instead they use payments services run by internal tech giants like Alibaba or Tencent.
WeChat's payments underline lets users upload their banking sum and afterwards can buy products or services from any central account.
Even holding a tiny commission from any transaction creates WeChat in one of Tencent's best-earners.
Corporations adore it
WeChat has let millions of businesses get into a smartphones of business and would-be customers.
Companies and organisations can emanate central accounts within WeChat – a small like apps. Some do this before they even set adult an app of their own.
Users can allow to a accounts and get promotions messaged directly to them or click in be taken to a selling page,.
And a remuneration complement already mentioned means if firms can convince a user to partial with some cash, a routine of creation that transaction is flattering true forward.
And WeChat is a large reason QR Codes have been adopted so straightforwardly in China – record that helps firms get information to users as good as promote those payments.
Also, while WeChat has been sincerely regressive in a volume of promotion it allows on a platform, it is a unequivocally targeted approach for companies to strech people.
It is unashamedly China-focussed
While it is creation in-roads in South East Asia and South Africa, WeChat unequivocally is still all about China.
It understands that market, and taps into what Chinese users are doing both online and offline.
For example, a giving of red envelopes containing income during Lunar New Year – a country's biggest annual holiday – is a outrageous tradition.
A few years behind WeChat introduced digital versions of these "hongbao" and a recognition has soared.
During a festival that usually ended, some-more than 688 million WeChat users sent or perceived them.
The Great Firewall doesn't apply
Restrictions on entrance to many Western amicable media services such as Facebook and Twitter – as good as Google – meant many Chinese people do not have entrance to these services legally, even if they wanted them
And that combined an sourroundings where internal players like WeChat could thrive. So too did QQ – another Tencent-owned height that migrated a users over to WeChat, another boost to a user base.
All Chinese amicable media platforms are compulsory to bury open posts deemed bootleg by a government. WeChat is no different.
But it insists encryption means others can't "snoop" on your messages – and that calm such as text, audio and images are not stored on a servers – and are deleted once all dictated recipients have review them.
Earlier this year it issued a matter denying "storing discuss histories" after critique from Chinese businessman Li Shufu, who recently pronounced a organisation "must be examination all the WeChats any day".
The Tencent-owned organisation pronounced suggestions that it was examination users was "pure misunderstanding".

As Congress considers changes to the federal tax code, AFBF Economist Veronica Nigh explained in Newsline that farmers and ranchers need to consider how proposed revisions will impact the overall effective tax rate for their agricultural businesses.
"What we really care about aren't necessarily the bracketed rates, but rather how those rates interact with other provisions within the tax code," Nigh said. "So, we start layering one provision with another and at the end of all that layering, you end up with an effective tax rate. Basically, what is the percentage of your income that you have to cut a check for to the federal government?"

Ryan Giggs has spoken out on the failures in Manchester United's transfer activity and some of his admissions will really annoy fans.
The former Wales winger would like to see the page of the Mourinho playbook implemented on Merseyside thrown away, even if he recognises the greater quality and flair in Manchester at present resides on the other side of town.
'I watched Gabriel Jesus play three years ago, ' Giggs told The Times.
He adds that they were available for as little as £5 million as well.
"I watched Mbappe for a year".
The United legend joined the club's backroom staff when his stellar playing career ended in 2014, serving as Louis van Gaal's assistant after spending a year as player-coach under David Moyes.
"Over the years it's been a really well-run club, they play the right way and are an established Premier League team". 'It would have been £5million or something - get them, loan them back - and that's where the recruitment could have been better'.More news: New Owner For Rolling Stone
Two of the most sought-after young stars of today, Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus and Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe were once available for a total amount of just £5 million back in 2013.
United would boast one of the world's finest attacks if they had the two youngsters in their ranks.
Giggs questioned whether United have the quality to be able to match City's entertaining football while getting results.
"I'm talking about Rafael [Da Silva], Danny [Welbeck], and Jonny Evans - players who are United through and through".
He definitely hits the nail on the head with Evans.
United did not make a formal bid to sign Jesus, who joined City from Brazilian side Palmeiras in a £27 million deal past year. It's awful to say this, but you look at City and [David] Silva, [Kevin] De Bruyne, [Leroy] Sané, [Raheem] Sterling, [Gabriel] Jesus...they're brilliant to watch.
"It was hard because Louis had his own ideas and you had to respect that, but, yes, we had a few arguments about a couple of them". They had fallen down the pecking order, so do they go for someone who - and it winds me up saying this - hasn't got experience as a manager or do they go for a victor?

Over the weekend, I read Renee Moilanen's funny account of her husband attempting "a more mathematical approach to baby naming" after all other methods had failed.
First, he had us each write down names that appealed to us. Second, my husband categorized our choices using three different baby name books to determine that we wanted a timeless name in the "fitting in/standing out" genre. Next, he downloaded 200 years' worth of historical baby name data from the Social Security Administration and loaded it into a geeky software program called Matlab.
Lastly – I swear I am not making this up – he created an algorithm to yield all of the timeless, fitting in/standing out and not-too-trendy names by weeding out names with big popularity spikes (goodbye Jennifer and Jason) and those currently in the top 100 of popularity.
(Have to be nitpicky for just a second — the SSA only has about 130 years' worth of data, not 200 years' worth.)
Sadly, after all that work, they didn't find a name they loved.
[W]e picked a name off the list that we both could tolerate. We didn't love it, and even now, we only half-joke about changing it. But the name seems like it suits our serious little engineer-in-training: Grant.
Undoubtedly, when Grant grows up, he'll hate his name. But at the very least, he'll have to appreciate his father's dogged determination to find a quantifiably perfect name. My husband spent many long nights tweaking that algorithm and crunching data for a little guy he'd never met but loved just the same.
On the one hand, it's a great story. I love that the husband actually set out to find a "quantifiably perfect name."
On the other hand, the name they ended up with is one they "tolerate" and "half-joke about." Hm.
What do you think — successful experiment?

Why do we have a fear of being the last one. You put in the effort, your out on the course longer (which takes lots of endurance) and some how we feel like we've failed. Over the weekend I ran a half marathon and in the process crossed the finish line with a PR, as wonderful as that is, It wasn't the highlight of my day. There were several of us that made the journey to this race and after I crossed the finish line they were still out on the course. A friend that had competed in the 5K event while we did the longer course and I went back out walking the course in reverse to give support to our other fellow athletes. A long the way we met lots of new friends and cheered them on as well. Once we made sure all of our group had come across the finish line we took part in group pictures and recalled the ups and downs of the race (in this particular race there where a lot). We had just started walking away to leave when they announced that there was runner(s) coming in and the last runner(s) had crossed the 12 mile marker. At that moment we all turned around went out on the course and formed two lines in front of the finish line to cheer. The looks on their faces of seeing that finish line, smiles so bright it pulls at you. Then several minutes later at the top of the hill with the golf cart and lights going behind them the very last bunch of runners. At this point the clock read 4:34:02, we all screamed, cheered, clapped them in from the top of the hill to the high fives right before they crossed the finish line. I don't know about them but my emotions ran over for them. It has been one of the most amazing experiences for me as runner to be able to see the determination on their faces and those huge grins when they crossed that line. There is no shame in ever being the last one out, the only shame is in never getting out there and giving it a try.

Post Half Marathon Advice: What to do after
Congratulations you've finished a half marathon. Hopefully you have had a great experience not just with the physical running side but also the atmosphere which makes these events so special. Your recovery starts as soon as you get across the finish line so here is some tips on what to do post half marathon to help avoid the aches and pains over the next few days.
Zero – Five minutes post half marathon:
Don't Stop!
You may feel exhausted, aching and needing a lie down however the best thing to do is keep moving for at least 10-15 minutes after you finish. Listen to you body but get a cool down in and keep moving even, go for a light jog or a walk. Just try not to sit down straight away, walk to the food or charity tent. Start your post race stretching and put some layers on as your body will loose heat very quickly.
Zero – twenty minutes post half marathon:
It's vital to replace the fluid that you would have lost throughout your run as quickly as possible to help your body recover. For a half marathon distance try electrolyte sports drink, juice, water or the beloved runners favourite chocolate milk. You want to drink enough liquid so that your urine returns to a pale yellow, if its darker you are still dehydrated. Water is great but as you would have lost salt and mineral throughout your run try a combination.
In the first half an hour after you finish you want to eat some small, with main component being carbohydrate with a small amount of protein and fat. Good examples are a banana, fruit either fresh or dried, Nuts, bagels/baps, cereal bar/flapjack, yogurt or chocolate.
2 hours post half marathon:
After you finish your run try to have your main meal; half of the meal should be made up of carbs preferably whole grains with an equal amount of protein. Ginger and honey have also been proven to help and reduce muscle soreness.
Thirty mins – one hour post half marathon:
Stretching and Sports Massage
It wont be the first time you've been told about the importance of stretching after a race but there's a reason way. After you have done your own stretches end the to the sports massage tent and get a massage. The therapist will often be able to detect muscles that you may not have notice being tight as well as getting deeper into the muscles. They will also be able to help you with dynamic stretches, which have been proved to be more effective than static stretches.
The evening post half marathon:
By the evening you should have refuelled and start to relax. Whether your staying in a hotel or you were lucky enough to be local and are able to chill at home make sure you keep moving. Just go for a evening stroll nothing strenuous something simple like a 10 minute walk with the dog at a very leisurely pace will be more than good enough. The most important thing is you get a good night sleep cause lets face it you deserve it!!
Three – five days post half marathon:
Get another sports massage to help with any aches and pains that you may have developed post race. You can read for about the benefits of Sports Massage here.
Four days post half marathon:
When should you start running again?
The general rule is between 4 days after go for a 2-mile light run just to keep your muscles moving. You want to reverse taper and start to slowly build up the mileage you are doing.

Half Marathon: Race Day Advice
It's race day! You'll probably be feeling a mix of emotions nerve, excitement, fear or all of the above and more rolled into one. Here are some tips to get you to the starting line of your half marathon feeling calm and relaxed.
Early Start:
Get up early and leave plenty of time for breakfast and to get to the start. The last thing you want to do is rush to the venue. Go through your race details of where to drop your kit off and where the starting pen is. Have one last look at the half marathon course details including water stations.
Do a last-minute check of your kit bag make sure you have your shoes, clothes, race number with safety pins attached, timing chip if not already attached to your shoes, water bottle and food. Make sure your kit bag has extra layers for after the race and some dry clothes encase it's a wet race.
Two – Four hours before the half marathon:
Eat a breakfast you've had before don't try anything new, you don't want an upset stomach. Try to eat 2?4 hrs before the starting time and aim for 1000 calories. Eat a combination of simple carbs with some protein for example bread/bagels, cereal, nut butter, low-fat yogurt, or milk. If you can't stomach food try a fruit based smoothie.
Two Hours – Thirty minutes before the half marathon:
Have a pre-event massage 2 hr ? 30 mins before the race. The massage should be light and up-tempo to aid the runner in getting their muscles warm and ready for the race. The theory is to increase the blood going to the muscles. It also has been suggested to improve focus and relax before the race. The practitioner can also help with some dynamic stretches. It should not be used instead of a good warm up and stretches but to complement it. If you want some more information about how sports massage can benefit you check out my blog post on Sport Massage.
Up to one hour before the half marathon:
Keep your fluid intake up and drink 500?700 ml up to the hour before and then no more than 200ml 30 mins before. While you need to make sure you're properly hydrated before you start, you don't want to over hydrate or have to stop and take a pit stop mid half marathon.
Thirty – forty-five minutes before the half marathon:
Have a good warm up and stretch. Never stretch cold muscles always go for a light 5-minute jog before hand. Do the same warm-up you are used to and get into your normal pre-race/run routine. For more tips on advice on warming up check out my guide to the importance of warming up.
Up to thirty minutes before the half marathon:
Drink around 200ml this will be your last main fluid intake till the start of the race.
Twenty to thirty minutes before the half marathon:
Go to the start early, hand in your kit bag and have an old track suit or old foil blanket, to stay warm at the start but something you can just get rid off. Get to the pen 20-30 mins before the start so you know you don't have to rush or add any extra anxiety.
Two minutes before the half marathon:
Leave it to the last few minutes to take your old kit off.
Most importantly enjoy the race!!

Museum acquires Inuit prints from acclaimed Cape Dorset catalogue
Montreal Gazette – It's a classic image of the Canadian Arctic: two caribou grazing in a stark northern land, an "iconic" scene composed in the unique, stripped-down style that would propel the Inuit printmakers of Cape Dorset to international acclaim in the 1960s. The 1957 "experimental" creation by Joseph Pootoogook — then a 70-year-old Inuit elder at the leading edge of a new Canadian art tradition — is perhaps the most important of more than 550 limited-edition Inuit prints that have recently been acquired by the Canadian Museum of Civilization to complete a new national collection of works from the renowned Baffin Island studio. Pootoogook's Caribou, fashioned just as the Cape Dorset printmaking tradition was taking shape in the late 1950s, represents a landmark moment in the life of a federal economic development program that — beyond the wildest dreams of those involved — helped put contemporary Canadian art on the world map.

CCM Opera countertenor John Holiday takes top prize at Dallas Opera Guild Vocal Competition
CCM Opera countertenor John Holiday, Jr. takes top prize of $8,000 at the 23rd Annual Dallas Opera Guild Vocal Competition.
DALLAS, MAY 14, 2011 The Dallas Opera Guild's 23rd Annual Vocal Competition for young opera singers concluded on a high-note this evening when ten outstanding finalists (with Texas connections) were awarded a total of $20,500 in prize monies. The historic evening marked the first time this much-anticipated spring musical event has graced the stage of the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Downtown Dallas.
26-year-old countertenor John Holiday, Jr., a 2007 graduate of Southern Methodist University now working towards a master's degree at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (2012), wowed judges and audience members alike with his extraordinary renditions of "Crude furie" from Händel's Serse and "Che farò senza Euridice" from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, which showcased the exceptional beauty and timbre of his unusual vocal type.
For the thirteenth consecutive year, opera lovers attending the daylong program were encouraged to cast ballots for the "People's Choice Award," a $1,500 prize which went to 29-year-old baritone Norman Garrett, a Texas Tech University graduate who was awarded a Bachelor of Music Degree in 2005 and has since gone on to earn a Master's at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music (2009). He now studies with David Lofton at the Academy of Vocal Arts (AVA) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Mr. Garrett possesses a commanding stage presence and a rich baritone with great vocal color. During this evening's finals round he performed "È sogno? O realtá" from Verdi's Falstaff and "Sois immobile" from Rossini's Guillaume Tell (William Tell), accompanied by Julian Reed.
The "People's Choice" honor (decided by the ballots of those participating audience members) was awarded to Mr. Garrett by the Presidents of the Dallas Opera Guild, Martha and Robert Allday.

$38 Million Settlement for Nursing Home's Medicare Fraud
Washington will receive about $1 million in reimbursement for Medicaid and Medicare charges billed by Extendicare.
The nursing facility company is paying out $38 million to eight states and the federal government. A Department of Justice investigation found that Extendicare billed for care that didn't meet Medicare standards—or in some cases, didn't happen at all—including:
– Procedures to prevent pressure ulcers, and prevent falls
– Improper staffing, providing too few skilled nurses
– Failure to provide proper catheter care
When a nursing home bills Medicare for patient services, the facility has to meet basic standards of care.
Extendicare currently operates 146 nursing facilities in 11 states (15 are in Washington). Of those, 33 nursing homes billed for patient care that did not meet federal and state standards.
The Extendicare investigation, prompted by two whistleblowers in separate nursing facilities, found that Extendicare billed Medicare and Medicaid for services that "were so deficient that they were effectively worthless…"
Extendicare also billed for unnecessary rehabilitation services, timed with the goal of charging Medicare as much as possible.
"Health care providers must make decisions regarding the level of services to be provided based solely on their patients' clinical needs, and not corporate financial targets."
– Acting Assistant U.S. Attorney General Joyce R. Branda
According to the Seattle PI's Boomer Consumer investigator, $595,000 of Washington's reimbursement will go to the federal government for its share of Washington's Medicaid program.
Medicare fraud is a serious crime: reporting is crucial for holding nursing homes and other medical facilities accountable.
Caretaker stole $250,000 from elderly patient
A judge sentenced the caregiver for an elderly Oregon woman to three and a half years in prison.
Ana Hagan is believed to have stolen about $250,000 from the elderly woman in her care. The police found evidence that she had lost $233,000 gambling at a casino.
Last week, she pleaded guilty to criminal mistreatment and theft charges.
Busted by the bank
Financial abuse of the elderly is a big but quiet problem: it's the most common form of elder abuse, but often goes unreported.
In this case, the elderly woman's bank, Central Willamette Community Credit Union, prompted a police investigation when they flagged suspicious account activity.
The intrepid credit union employees who contacted the police deserve our thanks.
Bank monitoring is one of the best tools we have to stop the financial exploitation of senior citizens. See Shame, Embarrassment and Privacy Laws Shouldn't Allow Financial Elder Abuse.
What's wrong with Illinois' plan to prevent nursing home abuse
A new law proposed in Illinois would permit the use of cameras in nursing homes to monitor patient care.
The use of the cameras would be voluntary, although there are questions about obtaining consent from elderly residents, their visitors, and the nursing home staff.
Nursing home safety (if you can afford it)
Patients and their families would have to purchase and set up the equipment themselves, and then monitor the footage.
In this plan, a patient's safety is contingent upon their ability to finance and install an expensive surveillance system. Many senior citizens in long-term care facilities (which are hugely expensive) can't afford that.
Additionally, this plan assumes that there are family members who are willing and able to watch hours of video footage on a regular basis.
Who's in charge here?
Families should be allowed to monitor the care of elderly relatives. "Granny cams" have recorded elder abuse in other cases.
And there's a good argument that the mere presence of a camera would decrease the risk of nursing home abuse: surveillance in itself changes behavior.
But should the State of Illinois place the burden of ensuring nursing home safety on the patients themselves?
Nursing home abuse and neglect is a big problem. Illinois received a failing grade in a national study released in May 2014. Voluntary surveillance captured and monitored by those who can afford it may help, but overall, this plan does not come close to solving the problem.
How do I know if a nursing home is safe?
There is no way to be 100% certain that your elderly relative won't suffer an injury or trauma in a nursing home.
But when it comes to elder care, knowledge is power. If a home has history of abuse or neglect complaints, it's a sign of serious, systemic problems.
Search for nursing home complaints
Medicare tracks nursing home violations and deficiencies. Nursing Home Inspect has organized that data: you can search for a specific facility – for example, "Harborview Hospice"; or by location – "Aberdeen, Washington". The information is updated monthly, and covers the past three years.
- How many complaints – or "deficiencies" have residents filed?
For example, Kittitas Valley Health & Rehab Center in Ellensburg, Washington has a shocking 59 verified complaints.
- How severe are the violations?
Severity ratings range from "A" violations—the least severe, usually the potential for harm, without actual damage— to "L" violations, the most severe incidents, occurring in a pattern.
- What actually happened?
Medicare's incident reports are included; you can see the details of specific incidents, and know what to watch for if you have a relative in that facility.
This is a great resource, but one of the best things you can do to ensure a safe, healthy nursing home experience is to go there often, and on various dates and times.
If the residents generally seem happy and healthy, it's a good sign.
If you suspect something is wrong, you're probably right. Request an investigation.
See: How to file a Nursing Home Complaint: 4 easy steps.
How to file complaint against a nursing home: 4 easy steps
Too often, people wait until an elderly person is seriously or fatally injured before registering a nursing home complaint.
If you even suspect that nursing home residents are being neglected, abused, or been treated improperly, you can—and should—file an official complaint to alert state authorities to investigate.
4 steps to filing a complaint:
1. Write it down. Get the facts down on paper as quickly as you can: it's much easier than trying to remember the details later.
2. Fill out the investigation form. Medicare has contact info for every state agency charged with investigating malpractice, abuse and neglect complaints. You can remain anonymous in the report, but give them as much information as you can, including:
- Date and time of the incident;
- Address of the facility, and location within it (cafeteria, hallway, etc.);
- Your description of what happened (this is where your notes come in handy).
3. Send it in. Mail, email, fax, or even call, but file the form as soon as possible. The sooner you file, the sooner the problem can be addressed.
4. Follow up. A representative should contact you; ask to be notified when the final report is complete.
You don't have to wait for an incident or an injury.
File a complaint if you know about unsanitary or unsafe conditions, or chronic understaffing in an elder care facility.
According to the Washington State Department of Health, our state investigates all claims involving:
- Patient abuse or neglect
- Staff not available to provide care
- Failure to provide care
- Providing the wrong care
- Medication errors or mistakes
- Unsafe, unclean or dangerous areas in the facility
- Patient injuries or falls
- Not following medical orders
- Improperly prepared food
- Not responding to a patient complaint

LGBT elderly face higher risk of abuse and neglect
Many elderly people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered are more likely to be abused or neglected.
For generations of LGBT who lived through decades of discrimination, this is the final indignity.
Research compiled by the National Center on Elder Abuse found:
- 29% of the LGBT elders surveyed had actually been physically attacked;
- 65% reported verbal abuse, threats of violence, sexual assault, and discrimination, and other victimization; and
- 8% had been abused or neglected by homophobic caretakers.
- LGBT are more likely than heterosexual elders to live alone – and social isolation is a big risk factor for abuse; and
- They are also less likely to seek help for abuse.
The data is comparatively limited, and compiled from the few peer-reviewed studies on the elderly LGBT community (which also speaks to the problem of discrimination).
However, it's clear that more effort needs to be made to address and prevent elder abuse in the LGBT community.
Many LGBT elders lived with stigmatization for much of their lives—we owe them dignity and protection in their golden years.
Big jury verdicts against nursing homes are more important than you think – here's why
Mr. Sharon had eleven different infections. His arms and legs had been in traction so long that he is now paralyzed. He was frequently soiled, and his wounds went untreated.
According to the attorneys who represented the nursing home patient and his family,
" … Repeated instances of abuse and neglect at the nursing home led to the development of bedsores so severe and deep that at least one was infected down to his bone. "
Abuse like this can't be attributed to one bad nurse. Injuries like these can't be blamed on overworked aides.
These are problems that start at the top. There are systemic failures in any medical facility in which these injuries could happen.
Mr. Sharon was a patient in a for-profit Colorado nursing home. For-profit chains of nursing homes use fewer resources on patient care: they have fewer nurses, higher costs, and more profits.
How do you punish a corporation?
The jury that heard this case had to decide.
You can't send it to prison. The only things you can take away from it are it's reputation, which is hard to quantify— or money.
In Mr. Sharon's case, the jury awarded 3.3 million dollars.
Sound like a lot of money?
There's actually a limit of $300,000 for non-economic damages under Colorado law. The jury thought that amount would barely put a dent in the company's bottom line – so they included $3 million in punitive damages.
This was the jury's way of sending a message to the nursing home—Belmont Lodge Health Care Center and its parent corporation— and to other for-profit facilities.
A trial by jury is one of the most democratic tenants in our imperfect justice system.
It is utterly essential that everyone have access to courts and lawyers exactly for situations like this. Elder care facilities that victimize or neglect the patients who depend on them for care must be held accountable.
Jury verdicts like this one are they only way they'll get the message.
Everybody counts: one big problem in death claims involving the elderly
Imagine that you're driving home from work. Coming up to a red light, you see an elderly man step off the curb at the intersection. The car next to you doesn't see him, and turns right – directly into him.
You, being a good citizen, call 9-1-1.
The operator tells you that all of the ambulances are busy with more valuable people. You call the police: they won't come because a young person got in an accident down the street, and well, it's more important that they tend to him. You take the elderly man to the hospital yourself, but the ER doctor won't see him, since he's going to die soon anyhow.
Sounds crazy, right?
A little legal background:
When an elderly person dies as a result of nursing home neglect, their family can file a lawsuit. This is called a "wrongful death" claim.
What most families aren't prepared for: the claims adjusters and defense attorneys arguing that the death of their parent, grandparent or sibling has little value, since they were going to die soon anyhow.
My response to this is always the same: either everybody counts or nobody counts.
Outside of litigation, no one rates the value of people's lives by age.
Here, we are talking about the death of an elderly loved one. Someone that we understood had only a short time to live. Someone that we understood was not going to be with us for that much longer.
Regardless of the short time that our loved one may have had with us, when they are wrongfully taken from us, there must be an appropriate accounting for the injury, abuse or neglect that took them too soon.
The life was shortened, regardless of how much or little it may have been shortened.
It may have been just a few more holidays with the family, just one more wedding, just a birthday party. Those of us who have lost a close relative would give a lot for one more day.
We can't allow lawyers for negligent nursing homes to diminish the value of our memories and experiences with our loved ones.
This post was adapted from nursing home abuse attorney Kevin Coluccio's article Everybody counts: Death of our older clients, originally published in Trial News, February 2014, for the Washington State Association for Justice trial lawyers.

But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed at him with one impulse. When they had driven him out of the city, they began stoning him; and the witnesses laid aside their robes at the feet of a young man named Saul.

Now Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the hearing of the sons of Heth; even of all who went in at the gate of his city, saying, "No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead." And Abraham bowed before the people of the land.read more.
He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, "If you will only please listen to me; I will give the price of the field, accept it from me that I may bury my dead there." Then Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him, "My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? So bury your dead." Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, commercial standard. So Ephron's field, which was in Machpelah, which faced Mamre, the field and cave which was in it, and all the trees which were in the field, that were within all the confines of its border, were deeded over to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.
Now Boaz went up to the gate and sat down there, and behold, the close relative of whom Boaz spoke was passing by, so he said, "Turn aside, friend, sit down here." And he turned aside and sat down. He took ten men of the elders of the city and said, "Sit down here." So they sat down. Then he said to the closest relative, "Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, has to sell the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.read more.
"So I thought to inform you, saying, 'Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.'" And he said, "I will redeem it." Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the deceased, in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance." The closest relative said, "I cannot redeem it for myself, because I would jeopardize my own inheritance. Redeem it for yourself; you may have my right of redemption, for I cannot redeem it." Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the redemption and the exchange of land to confirm any matter: a man removed his sandal and gave it to another; and this was the manner of attestation in Israel. So the closest relative said to Boaz, "Buy it for yourself." And he removed his sandal.
Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses today that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon. "Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the court of his birth place; you are witnesses today." All the people who were in the court, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem.
'You have said to me, O Lord GOD, "Buy for yourself the field with money and call in witnesses"--although the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'"
Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.

Phryne is anxious for her lover to return home. He's buying silk and wasn't quite sure how long it would take but she's starting to be concerned. She doesn't have time to worry about it though because she has a new case. Why would someone murder an author who loves fairies?
Poisoned Pen Press and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published August 1st.
Phryne does her usual snooping, using what staff she has and hiring more when needed. She finds most of the people in the apartments have secrets of some sort. The author was a snoop. She was also willing to blackmail people for income. That was her downfall.
With the investigation ongoing, Phryne notices that some Chinese are trying to hurt her, even kill her. She's not happy with that. And when she finds out that her lover is being held by a pirate for ransom, she's not going to sit around and wait for that to happen. She's going after him herself...
With the two stories cob-webbing the pages, she finds the killer and manages to get her lover back. Not without some distress but overall it worked out. I wonder what Phryne's next case will be?

Guy Verhofstadt (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣiː vəɾˈɦɔfstɑt] ( listen); born Guy Maurice Marie Louise Verhofstadt, 11 April 1953) is a Belgian politician who was Prime Minister of Belgium from 1999 to 2008. He is currently a Member of the European Parliament and leader of the liberal group in Parliament
Born in 1953 in Dendermonde, he became president of the Flemish Liberal Student's Union (1972-1974) while studying law in Ghent. He quickly became the secretary of Willy De Clercq, who was at that time the president of the Flemish liberal party (Party for Freedom and Progress, PVV). In 1982, at age 29, he became president of the party. In 1985 he was elected into the Chamber of Deputies, and became Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Budget under Prime Minister Wilfried Martens. Because of his economic views and his young age, he became known as "Baby Thatcher". Another nickname from that era is "da joenk", a Brabantian dialect expression meaning "that kid" (in a pejorative sense, referring to his rather iconoclastic and immature style).
After being ousted from government he became leader of the opposition. After a failed attempt to form a government in November 1991, he changed the PVV into the Flemish Liberals and Democrats (VLD). This new party attracted many politicians from other parties, notably from the Volksunie (VU) and the Christian People's Party (CVP).
However, despite the fact that many had high expectations, the party did not manage to outstrip the CVP. Verhofstadt resigned and disappeared from the political scene, only to return to the party's presidency in 1997 with a less radical image. He gradually moved away from neoliberalism (partly under the influence of his brother Dirk, a social liberal political philosopher), and became more of a centrist figure, a change which especially became clear during his first term as Prime Minister.
Partly because of a food scandal that broke out just before the 1999 elections, the VLD became the largest party in the country, obtaining over 22% of the vote in Flanders. He quickly formed a coalition with the socialist and the green party in Flanders, and with the French speaking counterparts of these parties (a symmetric coalition) in Brussels and Wallonia. He was appointed Prime Minister on 12 July 1999. It was the first Belgian government without the Christian-democrats since 1958, and the first one which included the green parties.
Verhofstadt was awarded the Vision for Europe Award in 2002 for his work toward a more unified Europe. The economic situation gave him leeway in raising the lowest social alimonies and lowering taxation. After 2001, the economic situation worsened. The 'Aging Fund' or 'Silver Fund' was set up, in order to ensure the maintenance of pensions until 2030. But despite his efforts to boost the economy while attempting to maintain the social benefits system, unemployment rose, after previously falling during the second Dehaene cabinet.
Much to the disapproval of his coalition partners, Verhofstadt and his VLD opposed granting the right to vote to non-EU residents. Instead, they proposed and were able to liberalize procedure for obtaining Belgian citizenship.
During the prelude to the Iraq crisis of 2003, Belgium joined France, Germany and Russia in their opposition to the invasion.
Following the 2003 general elections, Verhofstadt formed his second cabinet without the green parties, who were virtually annihilated in the election. For various reasons, the formation of the second government was delayed well beyond normal: the economic situation worsened to 1999 levels, both politically similar parties (liberals and socialists) gained approximately the same seats. Additionally, the various world governments were pressing for the abolition of the law of universal competence (also known as the "genocide law"), which gave Belgian judges the authority to accuse and sentence non-Belgians with crimes against humanity. Accusations that were made had rarely been followed up, and were often dismissed as being little more than politically motivated international insults. Verhofstadt's second government was sworn in on 12 July 2003, with both coalition partners having agreed to abolish the so-called "genocide law" and replace it with a much weaker one.
In the Flemish regional elections of 13 June 2004, his party lost votes, slipping into third place in Flanders. Though this has had no direct impact upon his position as Prime Minister, there were rumours that the Christian Democratic and Flemish (CD&V) party that won the elections, would participate in federal government. Verhofstadt was suggested as a candidate to replace Romano Prodi as the next President of the European Commission, but his candidacy was opposed and rejected by a coalition led by Tony Blair and Silvio Berlusconi.
Since then, Verhofstadt has been faced with internal crisis after crisis. The first crisis coming to a head in the autumn of 2004 was the question whether DHL would invest in Brussels Airport, located in the Flemish municipality of Zaventem. The question which nearly caused the collapse of the cabinet was whether to grant DHL extra landing rights during the night, this being a hot topic of public debate and various court cases. In the end the split between employment and night rest was for nought as DHL had only used the Zaventem option in order to get better conditions from Leipzig.
After the DHL crisis, Verhofstadt was faced with a communautary crisis with regard to dividing the administrative arrondissement Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde commonly abbreviated to BHV. The dividing was an issue that the parties forming the Flemish regional government had written in their government agreement. This caused a veto to be posed by the Walloon parties. The crisis dragged on until spring 2005 when the matter was shelved until after the federal elections of 2007 as the Flemish parties forming the government, given the for them disastrous opinion polls, didn't have the nerve to collapse the government. The constitutional court of Belgium ruled that all elections held after 10 June 2007 are invalid with the constitution because of the non-separation of Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde.
In the autumn of 2005, Verhofstadt managed to score a success when he was able to negotiate a "Generation Pact" with regard to employment and social reforms, regardless of the opposition and actions of the unions.
Verhofstadt was sworn in as municipal councilor in Ghent in January 2007, as a result of the 2006 municipal elections. In the council, he is seated next to another cabinet minister, Freya Van den Bossche, who was elected a municipal councillor as well. He even postponed a visit to the Russian President Vladimir Putin to be able to go to the first session of the newly elected council.
Verhofstadt led the VLD into the 2007 general election. Already with the 2006 municipal elections, the VLD showed signs of fatigue with the Flemish voter, who seem to have had enough of eight years of Verhofstadt, and the purple coalition governments. In an evening speech on election day, Verhofstadt conceded defeat and asked for a new generation to lead the VLD; he was to step down as prime minister after a new government has been formed. However, the formation of a new government was complicated, and in the end, CD&V politician Yves Leterme failed to bring about a new government. Yet, certain policy matters became politically urgent. The King therefore asked Verhofstadt to mediate an "interim government" would be in office for three months and could propose a 2008 budget among others. A deal was struck in December, and the "interim government" was set for inauguration on 21 December 2007. On 23 December 2007 this interim government won a vote of confidence in parliament, with 97 votes in favor, 46 opposed, and one abstention, assuring it legitimacy for three months.[1]
A "permanent government" under leadership of Yves Leterme assumed office 20th of March 2008.[2]
One of the first decisions of the new government, on 21 December 2007, was to raise the security level after it foiled an attempted jail break of an Al Qaeda operative.[3]
After his premiership he took up the seat of Senator to which he had been elected in 2007. In the 2009 European Parliament election, Verhofstadt was elected a member of the European Parliament for the term 2009-2014. He also has been put forward as the possible candidate for replacing José Manuel Barroso as the president of the European Commission by a coalition of greens, socialists and liberals.[4]
On July 1, 2009 he was elected President of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group in the European Parliament.[5] On July 14, 2009 he took up his seat in the newly sworn-in European Parliament to which he had been elected in June 2009.

Q&A: 10 ABM FAQs – And Five More That B2B Marketers Should Ask More Often, March 2017, Forrester
While the reason to shift is simple, the execution is hard and most companies have not started their journey. According to Forrester, ABM is still a greenfield market as 64% of B2B marketers have yet to initiate account-based activities. The delay in action can be attributed to the top three challenges to implementing ABM cited marketing leadership.
- Sales and Marketing Alignment
- Execution: Process, Data, Orchestration
- Target List / Account Selection
Together, Radius, Bluewolf, and Einstein ABM are uniquely positioned to overcome these exact challenges.
The proliferation of vendors, thought-leadership, and early case studies will continue to apply adoption pressure to modern B2B leaders. Sellers and marketers can take advantage of this seismic shift by becoming river guides to organizational buy-in and implementation.
