The system of private bus numbers which was gradually phased out between 1981 and 2005 started in 1924, when numbers were allocated and listed in the Government Gazette. It seems that the numbers represent the numbers of licences granted to operators; they appear to have been almost all allocated in alphabetical order of the principal, non-city terminus of the route. Thus, if one ignores numbers 1 to 6, Routes 7 to 15 each had a destination starting with A, Routes 16 to 37 a destination starting with B, and so on through to Routes 195 to 203, destinations starting with W.
In 1925, by the time additional routes had commenced and alterations made to others, the Government Gazette had a revised list of routes. Changes in number occurred to most routes. One can imagine the anger of operators at this change in numbers, as most buses had the route number painted on their bodies. As a result, the Government bureaucracy in charge of the numbering system must have succumbed to pressure not to further alter route numbers unnecessarily, as the system then remained relatively stable until 1981, with changes only occurring when routes actually started or finished.
Throughout the 1920s all buses in Sydney were privately owned and operated. The only street transport then run by the State Government was the extensive network of trams which radiated from the city to many of the then developed suburbs, as well as in some suburban locations. Tram routes were never numbered and were referred to mainly by destination names (for example, the Railway-La Perouse route), although, in certain cases, coloured symbols on destination rolls were also in use to aid identification of routes by the travelling public and signalmen. Hence, it was common to speak of, for example, “the tram with the three green diamonds” when referring to the Circular Quay-Canterbury tram service.
After World War I, a number of ex-servicemen, armed with mechanical knowledge from driving trucks, set up new bus routes along routes with strong patronage. Many of these routes were along busy tram lines. By the mid 1920s, with the improvement in road standards, these private buses were providing considerable competition for the Government tram and rail systems. As a result, the Government of the day passed two pieces of legislation in the early 1930s designed, among other things, to severely restrict the extent of this competition.
The first of these laws was the Transport Act of 1930, which altered the administration of the State’s transport in such a way that the expansion of the private bus industry was severely curtailed. As this Act failed to make much sufficient inroads into the private bus competition, further legislation was enacted.
The next step was the passing of the State Transport (Co-ordination) Act of 1931, which imposed as from 2 November 1931 a tax on private buses employed on routes that were deemed to be competitive with Government trams or trains. This Act had considerably more effect and so many competitive private bus routes in the Sydney metropolitan area consequently ceased operation after Saturday, 31 October 1931. Some routes were relicensed immediately or in the following months on shortened or altered routes to operate as feeder services to tram or railway lines or to later Government bus routes.
For many months after October 1931, public debate raged both over the services that had been discontinued or curtailed and over the relative merits of trams and buses. In the course of this debate it became obvious that there was still a strong demand for many of the ex-private bus routes and so the Government found itself under pressure to find a way of providing them. Following yet another piece of legislation, the Transport (Division of Functions) Act of 1932, the Department of Road Transport and Tramways (DRTT) was established. One of its functions was to manage and operate trams, trolley buses and buses in Sydney (and Newcastle) and to regulate private bus services. The way thus became clear for the Government through its new department to start its own bus services.
As far as route numbering was concerned, the discontinuance of over 90 routes as from 31 October 1931 (although some later were relicensed as feeders) left many route numbers unused. Almost all of these numbers were in due course re-used, as a result of the growth, particularly after World War II, of the number of Sydney metropolitan private bus routes. Most of the new routes were feeders to suburban railway stations. The allocation of subsequently re-used route numbers appears to have been quite haphazard. By 1952 the range of numbers in use was between 1 and 244.
Government bus operation commenced on 25 December 1932, when the DRTT recommenced operation of Route 144, Cremorne Junction-Manly. This route replaced one of private routes discontinued in October 1931. Over the following several years, the extent of Government bus operation grew quite rapidly with the takeover of further private bus routes over a wide area of Sydney. Most of these routes initially continued to use the numbers used by the previous private operators. In some cases, however, numbers of routes discontinued in October 1931 were re-used, particularly where more than one ex-private route was amalgamated into a single, new Government route.
Within only a few years, practical difficulties arose, as the destination and route number blinds on DRTT buses grew continually bigger with more and more private bus routes being taken over. To overcome these difficulties, a three-digit route numbering system, based on geographical areas, was recommended by an internal Departmental report in 1937-8 and adopted towards the end of 1938. The report also initiated the use of three-track route number rolls on DRTT buses, a system which remained largely operative on Government (and some private) buses well into the 1990s (although now superseded by electronic destination signs).
The 100-199 series was almost certainly allocated to bus routes in the Manly-Warringah area because all routes in that area already had numbers in that series, as a result of the numbering of routes in roughly alphabetical order in 1925. In the 1920s, the vast majority of bus routes in that area radiated from Manly Wharf, and so were grouped under “M”. By the mid 1930s, almost all these routes had become Government operated.
It should be remembered that this system was set up for Government buses only and that the areas mentioned refer to the extent of Government bus operation at the time, when Sydney was a much smaller metropolis than today.
The geographical number system commenced in a modest way some time in 1939, when it was decided to trial a small group of new numbers on routes radiating from the south side of Strathfield station. This trial must have been successful, as widespread renumbering of routes into the new system took place between October 1939 and September 1941. New routes which commenced during the same period were also numbered in accordance with the new system. By 1943, a fair number of routes had been renumbered according to this system.
Other DRTT routes which had by then been given numbers between 500 and 999 were renumbered into this revised system during the remainder of 1943 and in 1944.
After the war, the Government recommenced its programme, which had started before the war, to convert the entire Sydney tramway system to Government bus operation. During the period from 1948 to 1956, some relatively small tram-to-bus conversions took place and the numbers of the new routes so created were easily accommodated in the numbering system whose general structure had remained unaltered since 1943.
By 1957, however, the Department of Government Transport (DGT) – successor in 1952 to the DRTT – realised that there would be insufficient three-digit route numbers to cater for all the Government bus services proposed to replace the remaining tram lines. The need for more route numbers was accentuated by the then current policy of allocating a separate number for every short-working of a bus route. In those days, there were considerably more short workings on Government bus routes than there are today.
on 28 July 1957, bus routes which ran between the city and the Drummoyne, Gladesville and Ryde areas over the Glebe Island and Iron Cove Bridges and via Victoria Road, which had till then been numbered from 400 to 410, were renumbered into a series between 500 and 541. At the same time, 455 (Ryde-West Meadowbank [now Melrose Park]) was renumbered for a short time as 555, but later again as 505.
These two steps together provided the DGT with a significant increase in the number of available route numbers, particularly between 300 and 499. The tram-to-bus conversions, which proceeded until their completion on 25 February 1961, used many of the additional route numbers so created.
Throughout the period since 1925, the range of numbers and the system of allocating them to private bus routes (administered by the relevant Government department, which by the 1960s was the Department of Motor Transport) did not vary, despite the continually evolving number series for Government bus routes, administered by the operator itself. Until about 1952, the two systems co-existed with some apparent degree of co-operation, as little or no duplication of route numbers occurred. But, thereafter, duplication of numbers between the private and Government systems crept in and continued unabated until 1981, when the then Urban Transit Authority (UTA) set about rationalising bus route numbers throughout Sydney. It was only in 2005 that duplication was finally eliminated.
Not only was there duplication between Government and private bus route numbers, but within the private bus route number series, there was also duplication, because, when the number of routes covered by a single licence grew, the one route number continued to be used for all the routes covered by the licence. This appears to have resulted from the bureaucratic relationship between route numbers and licences. Thus, for example, 200 was at first allotted to a single route from Parramatta to Castle Hill, but, as the population of the Hills district expanded, particularly after World War II, the number of bus routes authorised by that license grew, so that by the 1980s there were at least eight separate routes, all bearing route number 200.
Other significant examples of route numbers with multiple routes were 2, 25, 40, 41, 44, 51, 56, 57, 58, 61, 65, 70, 80, 93, 94, 102, 114, 148, 187, 191, 200, 206 and 215.
The extent of these duplications can also be gauged by the fact that the number of private bus route numbers, which before 1981 had never exceeded a little over 200 (as there were always some blanks in the range between 1 and 244), by 2005 exceeded 300 in the new series, with the allocation of separate numbers to individual routes.
This defect in the route numbering system also persisted until the UTA embarked on its rationalisation programme from 1981 onwards.
On 18 February 1980, a new bus operator, known as Bankstown-Parramatta Bus Service (a joint venture of Chester Hill-Bankstown Bus Service and Delwood Bus Company), commenced running a route between Bankstown and Parramatta through the “territories” of the two joint venture companies. It was rather grandly hailed as “Sydney’s first cross-country bus service”. Initially it ran without a route number, but by at least 17 June 1980, when there was a timetable revision, it had been numbered (possibly somewhat arbitrarily) as 320 and labelled as a “Red Arrow Express Bus Service”. The numbering of this service was the first break away from the traditional 1-244 numbering system for private bus services.
Route 333, Chatswood-Parramatta, on 19 January 1981, jointly operated by North & Western Bus Service and Parramatta-Ryde Bus Service.
The introduction of the latter two services was co-ordinated by the UTA, in which power had by then been vested to assist private bus operators with the development of their services.
As a matter of record, two further “Red Arrow” services followed, but both were given numbers in the new Sydney-wide series (see below) from their commencement. They were Route 590 (now 630), Epping-Blacktown (now Macquarie Centre-Blacktown), which commenced on 14 December 1981, and Route 860, Liverpool-Bankstown, on 27 February 1984 (now subsumed into Route 900). Two of the first three routes were subsequently renumbered into the new series, 300 to 830 and 320 to 910. However, the distinctive number 333 remained unaltered at the request, it is believed, of the operator, until its demise in 2001.
Not described as a “Red Arrow” route, but another route using a then unused number outside the 1-244 range, was 270, a weekday peak-hour only service between Gordon and Duffy’s Forest, run by Forest Coach Lines. Starting on 2 February 1982, its introduction was co-ordinated by the UTA, similarly to the “Red Arrow” routes. It is thought that it was allocated the number 270 in an attempt to anticipate the number that may have been allocated to it under the then still developing Sydney-wide numbering scheme.
Government-owned ferries in Sydney, previously run by the Sydney Harbour Transport Board.
The PTC, however, proved to be too large and unwieldy and in July 1980 it was split, under the terms of the Transport Authorities Act of that year, into the State Rail Authority (SRA), to run the railways, and the Urban Transit Authority (UTA), to run Government-owned buses and ferries. At the same time, the UTA was given a new function of co-ordinating, although not regulating, all urban public transport throughout the State under a single authority.
the preparation, printing and distribution of timetables featuring not only improved services, but also improved presentation, including such items as times of connecting trains and route maps, which most private bus operators’ timetables were then lacking.
It should be noted that the Department of Motor Transport continued for some time to authorise private bus operations and generally to control private bus operators.
The UTA’s Development and Co-ordination Branch set about helping certain bus operators in rearranging their routes into more rational networks and providing timetable assistance where required. As part of this activity, it established a unified and more meaningful route number system for the whole of the Sydney metropolitan region, designed to cover the routes of both the UTA and private operators. This was regarded as one of the means of rationalising bus routes.
The first private bus route to be given a number in the new number series was 800, then Parramatta-Cabramatta, as from 2 November 1981. This route came about as a result of the amalgamation of part of 45 (Cabramatta-Edensor Park) and 167 (Parramatta-Smithfield), after the latter had been purchased by Bosnjak’s Bus Service in August 1981. Route 800 was later altered to run between Parramatta and Liverpool, but was deleted in the review of Region 3 effective from 22 March 2010.
After 1981 there were some changes to the boundaries of the geographic regions. For example, the 200-299 series was originally to apply to all routes connecting with or close to the full length of the North Shore railway line (hence the use of 270 for the Gordon-Duffy’s Forest service, mentioned above). In connection with this, it was envisaged that the numbers of some Government bus routes in the Mosman area would change from the 200-299 series to the 100-199 series. However, it did not prove possible to renumber these Mosman routes in the short term (although later again proposed in a less extensive form in the unimplemented “Better Buses North” proposals), so the proposed boundary for the 500-599 series was moved to include only services on the North Shore north of Gordon. When numbers were eventually allotted to North Shore routes, the 500-599 series was in fact used for services as far south as Chatswood. The 600-699 series was later extended to cover routes on the Blue Mountains as far west as Mount Victoria.
In the early 1980s new route numbers for private bus services were generally introduced in conjunction with route and timetable rationalisation programmes undertaken by the UTA. In some later instances, however, private operators renumbered their routes on their own initiative, although in accordance with the overall UTA scheme.
Later in the 1980s the UTA’s Development and Co-ordination Branch was renamed the Operations Branch and this Branch continued to be responsible for the numbering scheme until all functions related to the control of private bus routes and services were passed to the Department of Transport (DoT) in 1988. (The Department later became known as the Ministry of Transport or MoT.) This change was part of a general rearrangement of the functions of government agencies involved in roads and transport which resulted from the enactment of the Transport Administration Act of that year. Another change effected at that time was the alteration of the UTA’s name to the State Transit Authority (STA).
Prior to the passing of this responsibility from the UTA to the DoT, the UTA’s Operations Branch had prepared a discussion draft, dated May 1986, and entitled Sydney Region Bus Route Number System: Guidelines and Lists of Routes. This document set out guidelines for the system which had then been under way for over four years, explanations for each series of numbers, a list of routes according to the new route number system and a list of current route numbers showing proposed changes.
With the shift of responsibility for private bus operations to the DoT/MoT, the impetus to continue with renumbering routes into the new series waned for a few years. It was only after the passage of the Passenger Transport Act in 1990 and the associated introduction of performance-based contracts that renewed efforts were made to bring the remainder of Sydney’s privately operated bus routes under the Sydney-wide numbering scheme. This came about when the DoT included in its letters of offer of contracts under the Act a condition that routes be renumbered into the new series, where such renumbering had not already occurred. Where appropriate, these letters of offer specified the ranges of route numbers applicable to the operator.
As a result of introducing the contract system for regulating bus services, all private routes not previously renumbered into the new Sydney-wide series were eventually dealt with.
It is interesting to note that, although the renumbering was principally aimed at rationalising the route numbers of private bus operators, several routes operated by the State Transit Authority (STA) were also renumbered. This had two effects: (i) it facilitated the renumbering of certain private bus routes into an appropriate geographic series, and (ii) it permitted the grouping of certain STA services, which run partly over common routes, into sequential sets of numbers.
Give authority to the Government, through the Ministry of Transport (MoT), to coordinate bus routes and timetables with operators in each region.
The number of bus operators was reduced to between one and four per region; following changes of ownership between 2009 & 2014, there is now only one operator per region.
Memory headways have been included in almost all bus timetables, so making many previous timetables more user-friendly.
Regions 6 to 9 originally contained exclusively STA routes, and the other regions privately operated routes. But from 1 July 2018 region 6 was privatised (following the privatisation of the Newcastle region [outside the scope of this website] in July 2017).
Since the regions were devised, Crowthers’ routes have been transferred to Veolia, which has resulted in Regions 10 and 11 being effectively amalgamated.
Route numbers in most regions have remained relatively unaltered in the transition from the older contract areas to the newer areas. However, because changes to routes in Regions 3 and 13 were more widespread than others, some wholesale renumbering of routes has occurred there.
Another factor to emerge is that routes radiating from Picton are now regarded as being “rural and regional” and so are not included in any of the 15 Sydney metropolitan area regions above. But the routes are numbered in the low 900s.
The reorganisation and renumbering of routes in Region 13 has resulted in the route numbers allocated to the Picton routes being duplicated by some of the new route numbers in Region 13. There is no current intention to renumber either series of routes, so the duplication of numbers 900, 901 and 911 to 914 will apparently remain for the time being. Such duplication seems to defeat one of the purposes of numbering routes in the Sydney-wide series.
Routes on the Blue Mountains, which are now regarded as “outer metropolitan”, also retain their route numbers in the Sydney-wide system, even though they too are now not strictly within the Sydney metropolitan area.
When the changes were made to the Passenger Transport Act in 2004, the Government decreed that operators had to alter their routes and timetables in such a way as to keep the kilometres run by buses in any region constant.
However, increases in population in a number of suburbs and the development of new suburbs in outer areas resulted in higher overall demand for a number of services. So in 2009 the Government increased the allowable kilometres in some regions by financing a programme called “Growth Buses”. This programme has enabled improvements to be made to timetables on some routes and other new bus routes to be commenced. Any improvement in services since 2009 that involves extra kilometres or extra buses has been a result of the “Growth Buses” programme.

2014-Issue 50—While the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board continues its efforts to nullify the current Supreme Court jurisprudence that governs state sales tax nexus laws, the state of Texas has opted to lower the bar for physical presence by incorporating modern facts into the Quill v. North Dakota narrative. In a recent State Office of Administrative Hearings ruling, a Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts administrative law judge (ALJ) found that a Utah business (the Taxpayer) had substantial nexus with Texas because it licensed electronically delivered software and images to Texas customers. The determinative factor was not the mode of software delivery. The ALJ’s decision hinged on the logic that the taxpayer conceded having tangible personal property in Texas by retaining all property rights in its license agreements.
The Business Activity Research Team (BART) within the Comptroller’s office conducted a nearly 10-year audit of a Utah corporation that sold computer software and digital content through the Internet. BART took the position that the Taxpayer’s licensing of computer software to Texas customers created a physical presence and substantial nexus. The Taxpayer disputed that contention because its business activities in Texas were limited to the delivery of computer software primarily through the Internet, the occasional delivery of software via common carrier, and attendance by personnel at two conferences in Texas. In addition to disputing the merits of the state’s nexus claims, the Taxpayer requested penalty abatement and sought insolvency relief because of the magnitude of the audit adjustment.
The Taxpayer’s COO testified at the Comptroller’s hearing that its software and digital content are licensed to customers and rarely sold. Its software licenses typically ran for an indefinite period of time and did not require a renewal. Furthermore, the Taxpayer did not sell software maintenance and did not charge for updates to existing versions of licensed software. Examination of the Taxpayer’s license agreements revealed many details that one would expect to see in a software license agreement. Purchasers were granted non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the software. Customers were granted the right to make a limited number of backup copies and to use the software on customer-owned computers, but customers were not allowed to copy or unlawfully disseminate the Taxpayer’s software. Most of the agreements stated that the Taxpayer retained all rights to the licensed products, and some of the agreements stated that copyrights and intellectual property rights remained with the Taxpayer or its licensors. All of the license agreements contained language stating that the licensed products are the property of the Taxpayer.
Four Taxpayer employees entered the state of Texas twice during the audit period. Both times the employees attended industry conferences in the state. The employees did not present at product exhibitions, solicit sales, or market products at either conference. Citing both the Scripto and Tyler Pipe cases, the ALJ found that the employees did not trigger nexus because they did not solicit sales (Scripto), market products or develop customer relationships (Tyler Pipe). The ALJ stated that any such solicitation or marketing activities would have created nexus.
While the ALJ’s decision did not hinge on that statement, it is a noteworthy comment because the applicable statutory nexus rules state that the “regular or systematic solicitation of sales” creates nexus. Also worth mentioning is the fact that the ALJ did not include the “regular or systematic solicitation of sales” nexus criteria when extensively quoting other nexus criteria in the same statute. While the activities of employees in the state did not satisfy the nexus standards articulated by the Supreme Court, the physical presence of the four employees in the state was not ruled de minimis. This comment by the ALJ suggests that BART would be within its rights to assert an aggressive and selective application of nexus laws to one-off and infrequent employee activities in the state.
The ALJ’s ruling turned on the nature of the software agreements, but the ALJ’s interpretation of the software agreements differed from the positions advanced by BART. BART focused on the inclusion of computer programs in the definition of tangible personal property. The ALJ stated that the statutory definition of tangible personal property did not automatically confer nexus. BART also advanced the position that the software licensing agreements were akin to a taxable lease because Texas customers possessed tangible personal property licensed by the Taxpayer. The ALJ once again disagreed with BART because the Taxpayer’s customers did not exclusively possess the software, and exclusive possession is a requirement for a taxable lease. Citing another Comptroller’s ruling, BART argued that there is precedent for treating a software license agreement like a lease, but the ALJ distinguished the instant case because the Taxpayer received one-time payments and there were no recurring payments that were analogous to a lease stream.
After a lengthy presentation of facts and analysis, this ruling appeared to be headed in a favorable direction. The ALJ sided with the Taxpayer after analyzing two seminal Supreme Court cases, refused to literally apply the plain language of the statutory definition of tangible personal property, and even rejected a seemingly analogous Comptroller’s ruling. These are all substantive determinations. Unfortunately, sales and use tax is notoriously form-over-substance based.
All of the software agreements “expressly provided that [Taxpayer] retained all other property rights to its products.” Because the Taxpayer retained all other property rights over its licensed software and did not dispute the fact that other property rights included tangible personal property rights, the ALJ found that the Taxpayer conceded that its software was tangible personal property. The decision came down to the phrase “all other property rights” in the software agreements.
Based on this logic, the Taxpayer had physical presence, and the ALJ applied the bright-line physical presence standard articulated inQuill. There was some discussion of the amount of software in the state. The ALJ reviewed the Taxpayer’s revenues and ruled that the amount of sales into Texas exceeded any reasonable de minimis threshold, thus the Taxpayer had nexus in Texas.
As one would expect, the ALJ denied the Taxpayer’s request for an interest waiver. Furthermore, the ALJ denied insolvency relief because the Taxpayer had positive cash flow even though it posted losses for tax purposes.
This audit was initiated by the Texas Business Activity Research Team. As you might guess, that is not a typical field audit division. BART is a group within the Comptroller’s office that focuses on nexus issues and out-of-state companies. In the past, BART focused on vessels, pleasure boats and airplanes used in interstate commerce or by corporate executives. At least in this case, BART focused on the form of modern commerce and not how transportation realities create physical presence. Other states have special audit divisions that are similar to BART, and this Comptroller’s hearing sets an example for how those states can evolve nexus auditing approaches.
The Taxpayer in this Comptroller’s hearing can certainly appeal this ALJ decision. For now, this ruling establishes an aggressive precedent for software companies that do not have Texas offices or employees and have Texas customers. The ALJ suggested that any solicitation or marketing at a single conference in Texas could create nexus (although this suggestion is not determinative). Ultimately, the ALJ’s decision turned on the use of the phrase “all other property rights,” so the Taxpayer’s retention of all property rights meant that its software licenses were tangible personal property. Both positions by the ALJ establish a very low bar for the bright-line physical presence standards needed to create substantial nexus. If other states latch on to the logic developed in this ruling, the ever-growing world of software, cloud computing and digital products may not have to wait for the passing of the Marketplace Fairness Act or another form of federal intervention.

It’s the Little Things That Count | Tape Op Magazine | Longform candid interviews with music producers and audio engineers covering mixing, mastering, recording and music production.
Years ago John Fischbach, a well-established and respected producer/engineer, came to my studio to record an album that our mutual friend, Luther Russell, was producing. [See Tape Op #21.] In those days my studio, Jackpot! Recording, was a diamond in the rough. We had recently graduated to a 24-track, 2-inch machine, albeit one that would occasionally fall out of sync with its remote. (Jeez, that made punch-ins difficult!) Our console was nothing to get excited about, but it worked, and we had some decent, if limited, outboard gear and mics. John only brought two pieces of gear with him: an Audio-Technica AT4047 mic and a dbx mic preamp. I was shocked, as neither were high ticket items. I thought "real" engineers traveled around with big rolling rack cases loaded with the best in vintage and new boutique recording channels.
I helped set up the mics and got John accustomed to my studio, and eventually left him to his job. Nothing that he was doing seemed foreign to me, and I don't recall seeing any strikingly unique mic placements or extreme patchbay craziness going on. I observed as he calmly spoke with the musicians about instruments and sounds. I watched as he listened intently to the monitors as a mic was dialed up. It all seemed pretty typical to any Jackpot! session.
When the album, Mel Brown's Mister Groove, was finished, I took a listen. Nothing could have prepared me for the fact that it was the best sounding recording to have come out of my studio at the time. Sure, John was working with some of the top players from Portland, as well as with a focused producer who gave the project a strong, song-based connection. But the sheer quality of these recordings sounded heads and tails above the thuddy drum sounds and out of tune vocals that seemed to be my indie rock recording specialty back then. How did he do this?
Later I bumped into John at a trade show, and I remember asking him how the hell he got such a great sound out of my ramshackle studio. He let out a friendly laugh and a wink as he patted me on the back. I had to admit he had far more experience under his belt than I, but I also hadn't witnessed any magic techniques or special gear that I could attribute this recording success to.
It took me years to fully understand this lesson. Seriously.
When discussing the art of recording music we always fall back on the topics that are easy to quantify. Instruments, players, mics, rooms, outboard gear, mixing consoles, tape decks, converters, cables, monitors, and just about anything else one could think of gets trotted out as the reason a song or an album has that magic spark. Sure, having the best of everything at one's disposal won't hurt. But, then again, how many horrible albums have been made, in spite of a great studio situation? The used record bins are full of them. And, on the flip side, how many wonderful records have been made under less than ideal conditions?
So how did John Fischbach accomplish this? How does anyone make a great record? It's so obvious that one might overlook the truth: it's the multitude of small choices that are made. A successful recordist	listens intently to everything that is going on, making	numerous decisions and changes that will cumulatively add up to a better recording. Some of these actions may seem overt — like shortening a verse — and others may seem insignificant — like moving a mic 1/4 of an inch. But performed with the experience and skill of a master, they all make a huge difference in the end.
It's all so simple; but the path to get there is rarely easy, and it never seems fast enough. Believe me.

Most centrifugal and masticating juicers have complex parts that could pose a challenge when cleaning. Good news: manufacturers know that and target to make easy to clean juicer machines.
In our pursuit of good health, we have come across juicing. Truthfully, juicing has been around for eons, and it just took some of us longer to realize the benefits that we could derive from it.
Having grown up in a family of avid juicers, (I sometimes think my mom valued her Breville manual juicer than she did us) I know a thing or ten about juicing and juicers. I will tell you this for free; nothing is as cumbersome as cleaning a juicer.
The best things in life take their time. So does this easy to clean juicer. I have owned the SKG New Generation masticating juicer for over 10 years now, and the results of my juicing have been nothing short of refreshing.
This cold press machine does not heat up, and so the juice does not go through oxidation. It retains its nutrients and 100 percent the taste from the fruits or vegetables. Its 240W motor rotates leisurely to ensure that you get the highest quality of juice. The blade is pure stainless steel and is just as easy to clean as any other part of this juicer.
The SKG juicer knows no waste. The pulp from the juicer comes out dry as a bone such that you cannot use it for any other thing (isn’t that what we all want?) The chute from this easy to clean juicer machine is 76mm wide (can you believe that?).
With this kind of width, who needs knives to chop the fruit and vegetables? All you have to do is wash them and pop them! And when cleaning up time comes, you can breeze through it as well. The SKG has detachable parts, all which are dishwasher friendly. You will not have to spend the better part of your morning dreading the clean up. Just dislodge the pieces and pop them into the dishwasher.
Granted, SKG is pricey. I bought mine 10 plus years ago, and it was still costlier than most juicers on the market. It has served me well, though. I have only had to utilize the warranty once in those ten plus years (for a minor repair).
First things first; unplug the juicer. We do not want you electrocuted now, do we? Then disassemble the parts, which is quite straightforward. I always put a plastic bag inside the pulp container to save me the trouble of cleaning it. Then I place the auger, hopper, juice cup, nozzles, and the mesh in warm, soapy water. I let them soak for two minutes then wash then gently using the cleaning brush. I pay close attention to the auger, the nozzle, and the mesh. I find that I prefer hand washing them to using the dishwasher (though you can). Four minutes top, that is how long it takes me to clean the parts. You can assemble them in one minute just before the next juicing process.
This easy to clean juicer looks like a weapon of some sort of destruction. Just as well because the juice that it produces destroys body fat. The Champion juicer is not only easy to clean but has qualities that make it the ideal purchase: ability to make thick butter. You can use it as a food processor too! (Two for the price of one, huh?) It also comes with a 10-year limited warranty and various warranties on the parts.
Its processing speed of 1725 RPMs and 540-wattage set it apart from the other juicers, giving it a place of grandeur on the table in easy to clean juicer reviews. You can use it commercially given its heavy-duty design. The chute is 1.75 inches, (smaller than most masticating and centrifugal juicers) but it serves its purpose. You do not have to chop the ingredients into very tiny pieces to have them fit.
It weighs a ton (literally)! But then again, it is a designed for commercial use.
The champion is a delight to use and clean. The parts are so simple, so it takes you all of 3 minutes to pull them apart and to clean it up. Once you have unplugged your juicer, the pulp container is probably going to be the first thing you want to remove (I know I do). The auger cleans quite well in soapy water, and a simple scrub will get rid of any stuck pulp (stringy celery is especially naughty). The filter and the screen are the only components that need more attention. If you let them soak in the water even if for a minute, you will have an easy cleaning time.
Omega J8006 Juicer is easy to clean and slow to juice. With its 80 RPMs, 110-voltage motor you can count on it to bring out 100 percent flavor from your ingredients, (this includes beets, carrots, and even wheatgrass for you color lover). It also comes with a 15-year warranty (is that not a lifetime in juicer years?). Did I mention it could turn your nuts into butter and grind your coffee? You got that right.
The parts are not only sturdy but also easy to disassemble for cleaning. For the most part, you just need to rinse them out. The blades and the exterior are all made of stainless steel, which makes for easy cleaning and ensures safety from rust.
Due to its slow speed, the juice that you make keeps in the fridge for longer (up to 72 hours). There will be no oxidation, and so your juice retains all its nutrients and flavor. I’ll drink to that!
I like the size of the chute and the attached cylinder because they make for an easy rinse. All you have to do when you clean this juicer is get rid of the pulp, rinse the pulp tank them move on to the other parts. The nozzle is quite stubborn since it plays such an important role. A run through your soapy water is all it needs.
The strainer is where you should focus your energies. I always wash it last so that it soaks well for me to run the brush through. Though the parts are dishwasher friendly, I hardly use it. I prefer to rinse them off, which takes me 3-5 minutes. One note, though; it needs to be cleaned as immediately you are done with juicing to avoid the food particles sticking onto the auger. Assembly is a walk in the park.
This powerful machine has a 110-V motor, which means that your juices are going to undergo minimal or no oxidation. For those (like myself) who prefer to make large batches of juice for a while day’s consumption, this easy to clean juicer keeps it good for 72 hours.
Apart from the easy cleaning, I find the multipurpose property quite helpful. It comes with seven nozzles for grinding and food processing. Make your butter, homemade pasta, baby food, and a host of other things using your juicer, and then clean the mess in less than two minutes!
The chute is quite small (1.75 mm), but they have made the feeding part bigger to make up for the smaller tube. It will require you to chop up your ingredients a bit, but you compensate for that time when cleaning.
With the Kuvings, your primary concern will be the screen. Every other part-the chute and the pusher clean very quickly. Forget warm, soapy water if you do not have it ready. Just rinse them thoroughly then brush the screen as though someone is paying you for it. You will be through with disassembly and washing in just under three minutes. Assembly could take you less than a minute.
As with other cold press juicers, the Vonshef Masticating Juicer does not grind your fruits and veggies. It squeezes them into a pulp to slowly but effectively extract all the juice. The powerful 200W motor takes on the wheatgrass, carrots, ginger roots, and leafy kales head on, to give you a nutritious yet delightfully tasty glass.
The one thing that most people may not know about slow juicing is that it not only ensures that taste stays intact, but that also reduces oxidation to retain the nutritional value of your ingredients. This aspect is what sets aside the masticating juicer from the centrifugal version.
The parts of the VonShef Professional Slow Juicer are detachable, and so you can take them apart easily to clean them either by hand or using your dishwasher. Did I mention that it comes with a cleaning brush? The chute is also thankfully bigger, so goodbye chopping.
The spout is too big and could cause a mess when collecting the juice. I am glad it comes with a one-liter collecting tank.
The parts of the Vonshef Professional Juicer are quite easy to disassemble. I have heard people complain about this part, but all you need to do is pull the top that contains the chute out. The pulp tank detaches quite easily and then you can now remove your chute cylinder and pusher to run through water.
I dissembled the parts before doing this review in only 48 seconds. All the parts are dishwasher friendly too. I noticed that if you take longer than five minutes to clean it (after you are done with juicing), the mesh becomes too sticky and could be forced to soak it for 24 hours for it to clean thoroughly.
As far as centrifugal juicers go, Hamilton has some of the best design and models. The Hamilton Beach Juicer has a 1.1 horsepower that chops your ingredients in the speed of lightning. You will be chugging down your drink before you neighbor can get their car out of their driveway.
I was afraid that the complex parts would be a cleaning nightmare. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the parts are all dishwasher friendly! All I had to do was to disassemble them then load them into the top shelf of the dishwasher. Sigh! This easy to clean juicer only gets better because the chute of this beautiful gadget is broad enough to allow in whole apples and oranges. And it does excellently with roots and carrots too, how’s that for efficiency!
I gave up on making green juice using this juicer a long time ago. It tries but the pulp that comes out usually has enough juice to fill a glass. It does well with other hard vegetables, do I will I decided to focus on its strengths.
Once you have removed the pulp tank, there is not much left for disassembly. It comes with a cleaning brush, which makes an otherwise difficult job less intimidating. The real job when cleaning the Hamilton Beach juicer is in its micromesh strainer. That part retains so many tiny fragments of pulp that stick together, so ensure to soak it for at least a minute if you do not want to scrub it for 5. It took us 4 minutes to disassemble and clean this juicer.
When I told a friend that I was doing an easy to clean juicer machines review, she recommended that I go over to her place to see the Nutri-Stahl in action. I obliged (because I cannot say no to a glass of chilled freshly made juice). I found the daughter swinging the juicer when I got there (mommy was attending to other things).
After the initial shock seeing a seven year old swinging a juicer almost half his weight (good workout by the way, not that I recommend it), I noted how sturdy the handle was. I even gave it a little sewing myself. The material is also made to last for longer that one cares to imagine. (She’ll probably hand it down to the daughter).
It has a powerful motor that fires up and makes juice in less than 10 seconds. The 3-inch chute saves you prepping time. She cleaned up the parts in 1 minute (she has put a small bag inside the pulp tanks, and so none of the pulp got there. As for the blade and other parts, we dissembled them in a less than a minute and rinsed them. They are also dishwasher friendly for the days when you are too lazy to hand wash.
Unfortunately, it performs poorly with leafy vegetables. It also does not come with a cleaning brush, but you can get that from the stores.
One look at the Nutri and you will notice that it has to be easy to clean. After lifting the pulp container and cleaning the edges of it, your job is halfway done! The assembly time is less than a minute and so is disassembly! The pusher, easy rinse, and the chute cylinder just needs a little scrubbing. The strainer has tiny holes, so you may need to spend a bit longer scrubbing it. The cleaning brush works wonders. Total time for disassembling the parts and putting them back together; 4 minutes. The dishwasher handles the job quite well too.
Its 850 W give it the power to juice fruits and soft vegetables to your desired consistency. The Gourmia GJ-750 has a huge chute to save you preparation time. It also has dual speed settings for when you want to switch things a little. You have the option to have it work faster or to slow it down for ingredients that require less speed.
Cleaning the Gourmia GJ-750 is blissful. The wide chute allows for a peaceful cleaning process, and all the other parts detach easily for you to rinse fast. When you do not have the time to rinse them out, just throw them in the dishwasher. Yes, all the parts are dishwasher friendly.
Leafy greens are a no-go zone. They come out looking as though a squirrel has chewed them.
Your focus will be the strainer. All the other parts only need a quick rinse through water. You can give them a simple scrub with the cleaning brush just to be sure that you got all the particles or you can run them through the tap (I find that easy, though water is wasted). The strainer needs more attention to remove all the stuck fiber. As for the pulp container, a simple rinse will do.
This one of a kind easy to clean juicer has a 1000-watt motor for speedy and efficient juicing. Unlike most centrifugal juicers that have two-speed settings, Oster JusSimple has five! (Hello vegetable juices). It handles hard nuts and vegetable well, due to its power and speed settings. It features a wide chute and a large pulp tank for a smooth sail.
Cleaning only takes a few minutes of your time. The filter (which is the bone of contention in most juicers) is designed in a way that makes it easy to clean with minimal scrubbing.
The parts can be a bit difficult to replace if broken. You have to source them from the manufacturer, which could take a little longer to deliver. Luckily, you have a year’s warranty.
Time taken to disassemble the dishwasher-friendly detachable parts: 28 seconds.
Cleaning time: It took me less than three minutes. I removed the pulp container and then got out the strainer to soak. I only let it sit in the sink for thirty seconds before cleaning. It cleaned out faster than I expected. Total time taken: 3 minutes.
The Breville brand has been in the juicer business for ages, and they have mastered the art of making the best juicers. A beautiful but sturdy exterior, parts that are dishwasher friendly and motor power to make juice in less than a minute make the Breville JE98XL juicer stand out.
Vegetables come out half done. It does excellently with fruits but cannot extract as much juice from leafy vegetables as its masticating counterparts.
The Breville Juicer comes with a brush that makes cleaning time an easy task. I only have to worry about the strainer and once that is well scrubbed the rest of the parts just need water and a bit of touch. All the parts are dishwasher friendly for the days when you can’t be bothered to hand wash.
I have an attachment to my masticating juicers as I have had them for so long. The SKG Juicer, Champion Juicer, and Omega are members of the family. They have served me well in my years of juicing (and I use them at least thrice a day), and I would highly recommend them.
Anyone who knows me knows that I have the busiest schedule and therefore anything that I use has to save me time. These juicers are dishwasher friendly and quite easy to disassemble. As for the centrifugal kind, I use them for their power and speed. I highly recommend the Breville JE98XL, which joined the rest of the family four years ago. Happy juicing!

One of the most healthy, ethical, and tasty businesses is Hampton Roads is coming to Norfolk to be part of The Main.
Fruitive is coming to Downtown Norfolk, and with it they bring a dining philosophy you don’t see often enough.
Based out of Hilltop in Virginia Beach, Fruitive is a 100% plant-based restaurant, and has the distinction of being Virginia’s first Certified Organic restaurant. Their menu features cold-pressed juices, salads, wraps, and other items that will keep you happy and alive.
They are also passionate about sustainability. This is welcome news in a city that has to be making all of its decisions with health and long-term vitality in mind.
The Main, slated to open early next year, is Norfolk’s gleaming new hotel conference center at 100 E. Main Street. Developed by Bruce Thompson and Gold Key | PHR, with heavy public financing, The Main is a big bet for the city of Norfolk. To succeed, the $147 million building has to be as much of a draw as Norfolk itself. Fruitive, with its sense of style and quality product, is a smart addition.
“Many of our regular customers and employees live in Norfolk and have been asking for years that we bring Fruitive to them, so I’m excited to finally bring our plant-based organic menu to the Norfolk community,” said Rozeboom.
Fruitive at The Main will include an outdoor area designed by Work Program Architects. Rozeboom has expressed his desire to be a vital part of the downtown Norfolk community — he’s scheming about some special projects that are still under wraps, but that sounded very fun to me.
As Downtown Norfolk’s newest social destination, The Main, caters to both locals and visitors alike with its collection of signature dining options, unique retail experiences, luxury hotel and state-of-the-art meeting spaces. As guests enter The Main, they are greeted by an astounding 100-foot tall ground floor glass atrium with interiors seamlessly blending Norfolk’s urban core with a bright and contemporary design. From the atrium, guests can easily access The Main’s luxury Hilton Hotel, which features 300 well-appointed guest rooms offering an extensive list of guest amenities. Additionally, the Exchange’s meeting and convention 42,000 square-foot space houses Virginia’s largest hotel ballroom space, just one of thirty-nine different meeting spaces. Current dining options at The Main include Saltine, Varia and Grain, each offer dining choices that range from casual rooftop brewery and lounge to fine dining Italian food fare.
I’m excited about Fruitive coming to Norfolk. And as someone who cares about this city, I’m rooting for The Main. See you at the juice bar.

A feature documentary Impact Film Project. Movies are one of our universal languages, and "Green Rebel" has the unique potential to have a double bottom line: to make a substantial profit, but also have a positive impact on society. It can inspire and catalyze large audiences to social and environmental change. Besides theatrical and VOD distribution, our Impact Team is planning an "impact screening tour" in the first two years after our movie is completed (early 2020): over 150 screening/discussions in synagogues and churches, NGOs, businesses, conferences, schools and universities. And just like Kaptain Sunshine's work itself, our story can put the shine back on Israel's name as a nation that cares for its neighbors and for making a better world.
“Green Rebel” is an Israel/Africa story. It will follow the visionary struggles of Yossi Abramowitz, a.k.a. “Kaptain Sunshine,” to provide real, on the ground solutions to both global climate change, and to inequality in Africa. In the Jewish tradition, it’s called tikkun olam (“healing the world”).
Abramowitz and his family immigrated to Israel in 2006, and soon after, Arava Power, his first Israeli solar energy company, inked the first deal to sell solar-generated electricity to Israel’s electric grid. His vision? For Israel to be a “sustainable Light unto the Nations.” Kaptain Sunshine had arrived.
We have been filming Abramowitz’s adventures for several months, and have exclusive filming access to all of his future activities. We are now entering a critical phase in documenting his story: Abramowitz’s Jerusalem company is struggling to sign deals with 10 additional African countries for solar fields and wind turbines (everywhere from Burundi to Ethiopia to northern Nigeria). But can obstacles of government corruption, violence, terrorism, and entrenched energy interests be overcome – to help bring green electricity to more of Africa’s 600 million people without electricity, and to replace the highly polluting gas and coal electric plants planned by the greedy multinational petro interests?
Golda Meir visited five African countries, in 1958, and she later wrote: “Independence had come to us, as it was coming to Africa, not served up on a silver platter, but after years of struggle.” Fast forward to 2018: Africa boasts 11 out of the 20 fastest-growing economies on the planet, has 700 million cell phones, and its billion-plus population will double by 2050. Abramowitz and his startup are betting they can do good, and be successful.
At home in Israel, Abramowitz and his wife’s children include two adopted Ethiopian sons. Recently, his family has joined the fight against African refugees being deported from Israel. Abramowitz, always thinking outside the box, suggests that, instead of the refugees being sent back to their war-torn countries, Holot Detention Center should be converted to a training center for them in the latest Israeli water, agricultural and green energy technologies. (An additional supporting character will be Yossi’s wife, Rabbi Susan Silverman – “Green Rebel” director Stein documented her well-known struggle for women to be able to pray at the Western Wall).
Harvey Stein (director, producer) is an Israeli-American filmmaker/teacher from New York City, now living in Jerusalem, where his impact film company, Jerusalem New York Productions (http://www.jerusalemny.com) is based. His last feature documentary, “A Third Way - Settlers and Palestinians as Neighbors”, about Rabbi Menachem Froman (the notorious “settler rabbi for peace”), Ali Abu Awwad, and others, has been shown extensively in impact screenings in both in the United States and Western Europe. It has also been shown in multiple Jewish Film Festivals.
Investor inquiries welcome. Business Plan available.
We are also looking for organizational partners to get involved now, and to host impact screening events when our film is finished, in mid-2020.

GMC scheduled the introduction of its redesigned 2018 GMC Terrain to coincide with the momentous eclipse of the sun over the United States on Aug. 21, 2017.
The intro took place in Pittsburgh, Pa., so the Terrain did not experience totality. The moon’s coverage of the sun there was about 81%, according to the experts, and that seemed fitting because it’s a good grade that roughly matches the achievements of the new Terrain, especially in the top-line Denali version.
GMC, the truck division of General Motors, manufactures a full array of pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles, vans and crossovers. It has been riding the current wave of customer infatuation with crossovers, which resemble but differ from SUVs because they are built like cars with unit bodies. True SUVs have body-on-frame construction like pickup trucks.
This second-generation Terrain, a crossover SUV, is an upscale fraternal twin of the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. They share three new engines: a 170-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder; 252-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and a 137-hp, 1.6-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder.
However, the Terrain uses a nine-speed automatic transmission on its gasoline-engine models, where the Equinox has a six-speed automatic. Diesel engines on both cars connect to the wheels via the six-speed automatic.
The Terrain features a new system for shifting the automatic transmission, which GMC says was developed with an eye toward the future when cars will be able to drive autonomously. A set of switches are mounted on the dash. You pull out the ones for “drive” and “reverse,” and push in for other functions.
Terrains are available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Driven for this review were three versions: luxury-oriented Denali 2.0 AWD with a starting price of $40,245 and, with options, tested at $44,450; an SLT FWD diesel starting at $35,140 and tested at $39,545, and the focus here: SLE AWD with the 1.5-liter engine, starting at $30,545 and $33,210 as tested.
Of the three, the diesel is the fuel economy champ with an EPA certified city/highway/combined fuel consumption of 28/39/32 mpg. The 1.5-liter gets 24/28/26 and the 2.0-liter is rated at 21/26/23.
Though the Terrain’s all-new styling graces a vehicle that is slightly smaller than its predecessor, it is a roomy compact crossover with passenger room similar to that of a midsize sedan and a cargo area of 30 cubic feet, which is about double that of most midsize cars.
It also is distinguished by an unusual design element: each trim level — SLE, SLT and Denali — has its own distinct grille, so astute neighbors can instantly detect your Terrain’s snob appeal.
The top-of-the-line Denali, which has standard and optional features intended to rival those of luxury vehicles, can be equipped with state-of-the-art safety features, including low-speed automatic braking, forward collision alert, lane-keeping assist with lane-departure warning, blind-zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert. Especially appreciated is the notice to the driver to check the back seat after parking. It could save a child’s or pet’s life.
Another welcome innovation was teen-driving parental control, which can set speed limits and audio volume, as well as produce a report card on the teen’s behavior behind the wheel.
The Denali also features such comfort items as leather upholstery, heated and ventilated eight-way power front seats with memory settings, automatic tailgate, automatic dual-zone climate control, Wi-Fi hotspot and a full-fledged infotainment system. Curiously for this luxury-oriented trim, the right front seat has manual adjustments and the right front window does not have express up and down.
If you’re willing to give up some of the luxury and convenience items, the all-wheel drive SLE version is a satisfying vehicle in its own right — and in this test had a price tag $11,240 lower than that of the Denali.
Its smaller 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with 170 hp and 203 lb-ft of torque, delivered sprightly acceleration with the nine-speed automatic transmission. Its main drawback is that its towing capability is 1,500 pounds compared to the 3,500-lb rating with the 2.0-liter engine.
The SLE’s front seats are comfortable and supportive, upholstered in sturdy cloth that keeps the torso cool in summer and warm in winter. The ride is pleasant on all but the roughest surfaces, and the Terrain handles securely on curves as long as it is not pushed too hard.
Overall, it is a competitive offering in the burgeoning compact crossover class and a good alternative — depending on an individual’s tastes — to the excellent Chevrolet Equinox.
Model: 2018 GMC Terrain AWD SLE four-door crossover sport utility vehicle.
Engine:5-liter four-cylinder, turbocharged, 170 hp, 203 lb-ft torque.
Transmission: Nine-speed automatic with all-wheel drive.
EPA passenger/cargo volume: 103/30 cubic feet.
EPA city/highway/combined fuel consumption: 24/28/26 mpg.

Security breaches of electronic protected health information (ePHI) continue to plague the healthcare industry-and the trend shows no signs of abating.
More than 25 million patient records were reportedly compromised as of October 2016. And then, in November, the cases spiked: There were 57 health data breaches-the most in any one month this year, according to the Protenus Breach Barometer.
On January 6, new safe harbors to the federal anti-kickback statute and amendments to the civil monetary penalty rules will take effect. The expansion of existing safe harbors, along with the addition of new ones, were issued by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General on Dec. 7, and are expected to impact providers, drug manufacturers and pharmacies. You can read them here.
The changes add new safe harbors designed to protect certain payment practices and business arrangements from sanctions under the anti-kickback statute. That statute makes it a crime to knowingly and willfully offer, pay, solicit or receive remuneration to induce or reward business reimbursable under federal healthcare programs. Safe harbors, which are updated periodically, are designed to protect certain business arrangements from prosecution if specific elements of the safe harbor are satisfied.
OIG noted that because of the broad reach of the statute, concern was expressed that some "relatively innocuous commercial arrangements" were covered by the statute and therefore, potentially subject to criminal prosecution.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services issued its long-awaited Final Rule on long-term care facility reform...<This CMS final rule> represents the first comprehensive change to long-term care conditions of participation since 1991. The policies in the Final Rule are designed to reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions and infections, improve quality of care and strengthen safety measures for residents and include elimination of pre-dispute arbitration agreements.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) recently released its work plan for 2017 and its target list is ambitious.
Each year, the agency releases a plan that summarizes new and existing reviews and areas where it will focus its attention for the coming year. It also shows the areas where work has been completed, revised or removed.
Written by Dr. Seth Flam, CEO & President, HealthFusion, Inc.
MACRA begins in 2017 but the time to get ready for the new payment models is now.
Don’t throw Meaningful Use and PQRS out the window. In January 2016, more than 200,000 eligible professionals saw a decrease in Medicare payments because they failed to meet 2014 MU standards. However, now is not the time to breathe a sigh of relief; the components of these programs aren’t going away with the implementation of MACRA. To help you succeed, review your quality measures and identify high-performing areas – MACRA will use certain aspects of the PQRS and VBPM programs.
Take advantage of the resources that your medical societies and EHR vendor provides you. Learn the basics and make sure you and the rest of your staff are educated about the new regulation, and how to improve the care you provide and demonstrate your value to payers. Make sure your vendor provides intuitive strategies to ensure actionable data collection and submission.
Know the timeline and when to prepare and implement the required changes. Keep abreast of CMS news so that you can stay updated on the latest news on MACRA developments and resources.
Outline your strategy well in advance and brainstorm with your staff. Review quality measure benchmarks and understand what is required for above-average performance, and implement practice strategies and workflows to meet quality and cost measures. The reporting period for Clinical Practice Improvement Activities is 90 days, so think through which time period in 2017 would work best for your practice’s selected CPIAs.
Review your CMS Quality Resource and Use Report (QRUR) for 2014 and the first half of 2015 to help you assess how you are currently being rated on cost and quality. You can find more information on accessing your QRUR here. Identify opportunities to improve the quality and cost of the care you provide and internal workflow changes that can be made to support care delivery plans. Think about who your potential partners may be; other specialists to whom you refer patients, in efforts to advance a coordinated care plan.
Make sure your EHR provides you with flexible tools to understand your quality metrics. You should be able to get data easily from your software and your dashboard should be customizable, granular, scalable and transparent.
Invest in a “MACRA-ready” EHR. Speak with your vendor or a potential vendor about how their software will be able to support your success through the transition to the new payment model. Does your vendor offer a patient portal? Does it enable secure messaging or appointment reminders? Is it certified EHR technology? Will your vendor offer you a MACRA-specific dashboard so that you will be aware, at all times, of how you’re performing in each performance category?
Remember that MACRA is a competition. There will be winners and losers – and your software will play an important role in your success. On which side of the bell curve will you be in 2017?

I joined CrossFit Central because I was looking to join an actual CrossFit box when I moved to Austin. Prior to CC I lived in Lawrence, KS and worked out with my best buddy Reese. We would workout in his car port, and a local gym when it got below 20 in the winter. I have lots of great memories doing deadlifts in the snow, or doing Fran when it would be thunder and lightning out. But we were working on our own, and we had been following the main site for probably four to five months before we really understood the ‘time’ component of CrossFit. We went from doing Fran in 20 minutes, to doing Fran in 7 minutes (at a scaled weight) and ‘Whoa!’ that’s different. So when I decided to move to Austin, I was very excited to join an actual Box and see what effect it would have.
I lost 40 pounds and 16.4% body fat!
I have now progressed to RedBlack Gym and have put on an additional 30 pounds of muscle.
If you thought I was a positive person before CrossFit Central, then you haven’t seen the new level.Being around the CrossFit Central community has elevated me to a new level. I absolutely love that I am surrounded by positive people who are making change in their lives. I love listening to Carey Kepler and Jeremy Thiel talk about imagining big changes and then doing them. I love watching them challenge their coaches with that same attitude. I honestly just feed off it. I have always been a big believer in the idea that if you can dream it you can achieve it, so its awesome to be around others that are like that.
I continue to struggle with the mental barrier that I can’t do this because I am weak or not ‘in shape’ enough. This has come from a lifetime of thinking that of myself and holding myself to ridiculous standards. But I find that all of my training has given me new mental tools in the ability to not give up until a job is done (after all I am not doing Karen) and given me confidence in myself. I still have a long way to go in this regard, but my Coach and recently my participation in competitions is starting to give me new sources of confidence.

A court in Pakistan has reached a decision on whether a Catholic woman will become the first person to hang to death under the country's controversial blasphemy laws.
A special bench of the Supreme Court, sitting in Islamabad, reached a verdict Oct. 8 on the fate of Asia Bibi, but publication has been deferred until a later, unspecified date, according to the British Pakistani Christian Association.
In an Oct. 8 news release sent by email to Catholic News Service, Mehwish Bhatti, an officer of the BPCA who was in the courthouse during the proceedings, said the three judges "have come to a decision, but it has been reserved."
Christians in Pakistan are conscious of the threat of an outbreak of rioting by Muslim mobs if Bibi is acquitted by the court, the BPCA said in an Oct. 7 press release, even though they are praying ardently for her release.
Bibi has been held in solitary confinement since November 2010, when she was sentenced to hang for insulting Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
Ashiq Masih, her husband, told Catholic News Service in an Oct. 5 interview that if Bibi is released she and her family will immediately seek sanctuary in one of several countries that have offered them exile, because it was too dangerous for them to remain in Pakistan.
Ashiq, a builder from Sheikhupura, Pakistan, was in England with his and Bibi's youngest daughter, Eisham Ashiq, 18, as guests of Aid to the Church in Need, a Catholic charity helping persecuted Christians.
They said when they visited Bibi in Multan Prison Oct. 1 that she was in good health, contrary to speculation that she was developing dementia.
During the interview at St Columba's Church, Ashiq said Bibi was praying constantly and that she deeply believed she would win her freedom.
"She is psychologically, physically and spiritually strong," Ashiq told CNS. "Having a very strong faith, she is ready and willing to die for Christ. She will never convert to Islam.
"She also wanted to deliver a message to the international community that they must remember her in their prayers. These prayers will open the door of the prison, and she will be released very soon," he said.
"She is spending her life praying with a very strong faith and is reading the Bible every day. She feels when she is praying, Jesus is encouraging and supporting her," he continued, adding that she also received Communion in jail Oct. 1.
In June 2009, Bibi, who worked as a farmhand, was accused of blasphemy against Islam after Muslim women objected to her drinking from a common water supply because she is a Christian. To have her charged with blasphemy, they took their complaint to an imam, who did not see the incident.
Eisham Ashiq told CNS that, as a 9-year-old girl, she witnessed her mother being severely beaten by a Muslim mob in the aftermath of the accusation.
"I believe in God and I believe she will be released, but she can't live in Pakistan once she has been released -- simple as that," she said.
Bibi was rescued by police, only to be sentenced to death for violating Section 295C of the Pakistan Penal Code, which makes insulting Muhammad a capital offense.
No one has been executed under the law so far, but Christians who are falsely accused often are lynched or spend many years in prison.
Bibi's final appeal represents her last chance at avoiding a death sentence for blasphemy. If the court has upheld the execution order, the only option open to her lawyers will be a direct appeal for clemency to President Imran Khan.
Father Emmanuel Yousaf, national director of Pakistan's Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace, who was accompanying Bibi's family on their U.K. tour, told CNS in an Oct. 6 telephone interview that the family remained hopeful of her release.
"We have been waiting for this day for a very long time and thankfully it has finally arrived," he said. "We are praying continuously for Asia Bibi and we are confident of her acquittal."
Bibi's case has divided Pakistan, with millions of Islamic militants reportedly willing to kill her to obtain a reward of 500,000 rupees offered by a Muslim cleric for her murder; some moderate Muslims have called for her release.
Among those who called for her release was the governor of Punjab, Salmaan Taseer, who was assassinated in January 2011 after he said he would fight for her freedom.
Two months later, Minority Affairs Minister Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian, was gunned down after he said he would seek the reform of the blasphemy laws to stop them being abused to persecute innocent Christians.
Now-retired Pope Benedict XVI is among those to have publicly called for Bibi's release and, in February, Pope Francis received Ashiq and Eisham at the Vatican, while the Coliseum was bathed in red light to highlight the suffering of contemporary martyrs.
Ashiq said: "The pope encouraged us and said to us, 'Don't let your mind be disturbed' and said 'Pass on my encouragement to Asia Bibi and bless her as well.' He said he is praying for her and that he believed she would be freed very soon.
"By meeting him, our faith was boosted," he said. "We were already believing and have a strong faith, but listening to him really encouraged us."
"Remember us in your prayers and support us as much as you can so that Asia Bibi can be released very soon," Ashiq said. "When she is free, she will able to answer questions in person."

Trailercuts.com is the Internet’s most authoritative destination for the best trailer recuts and trailer mashups the world has to offer. If you’re here, you probably already know what trailer recuts and mashups are, but for the uninitiated, we offer a couple definitions. A trailer recut is a movie trailer that has been re-edited, often with a different musical accompaniment, to redefine the genre of the movie. A trailer mashup is different in that it features one or more movie trailers that have been spliced together, either visually by including elements of multiple movies or audio/visually by using the audio from one trailer with the visuals from another. We love trailer recuts and trailer mashups and hope you will too.
The creators of these videos rarely receive the credit they deserve. Through Trailercuts.com, we hope to illuminate those editors sitting in their darkened rooms creating video masterpieces.

Gospel of nature is about love for everything living around. Beauty of creation is found in every living being, but flowers are one of the best among them. Its true glory is not only in its beauty but in its surrender as an object of joy and worship to human beings. There may be hardly anyone who does not appreciate the beauty, fragrance and color of flowers. Those who have left their own country would find their favorite flowers in Dubai also. Do not think that it is a desert and thus not possible to have fresh flowers. But on the road sides of Dubai we can see plenty of them blooming even at high temperature. We can also see so many flower shops that enable to get custom made flower arrangements or ready to take away gifts. Presence of nature is there also in several offices through plants being maintained or fresh flowers kept at office reception.
Each and every flower sings the gospel of love and harmony. We do hear that or not depends upon our life and thoughts. When we listen to this gospel we get in harmony with the universe and its energy. When we love the nature and things natural that expends our concepts and thus avoid the narrow thinking. We can see the sunrise and its light. We get united with the big one concept, breaking out from the shells of small concepts. Nature is liberal in giving us free air, fresh flowers, nice green grass fields and a lot of space above to give brake to the stream of thoughts. It gives us a relief from material things. We should find out time to enjoy the gospel of nature.
All the natural beauty of greens, parks and flowers found in Dubai are developed and maintained properly by the authorities. We understand that it is the natural beauty that is ever lasting beyond ages. Technology and new things comes and goes but the original nature bestows its beauty for the enjoyment of people living in Dubai. They bring the awareness of the reality above the illusions of this material world. Let these plants and flowers in Dubai always sing the gospel and awaken us in live in complete harmony with original nature of the universe.

The individual offering the reward has promised complete anonymity for anyone that can help with the retrieval of the trailer.

According to JJR, you can make just about anything without dairy, and he promises you can’t tell the difference. All it takes is willingness to embrace a little trial and error. Here's how!

I recently had a client who was setting up an online grocery store with WooCommerce. They needed the ability for customers to specify decimal quantities. I’m aware of some of the solutions out there such as the Measurement Price Calculator, but it just seemed a bit overkill for what this client needed. I found the Advanced Product Quantity plugin which seemed to tick all the boxes (global/per-product increments, min/max etc), except decimal quantities. So I went to work to convert the plugin to allow decimal quantities.
The nice thing about this plugin is that allows you to specify units, increments, max, and min quantities on a global and per-product basis.
This plugin also plays really nice with my newest plugin, Rapid Order. It turns your WooCommerce shop into a fast ordering form, reducing clicks needed by your customers to get items in their cart.

In the spirit of AFTN’s recent piece on Vancouver Island-based players who could – or should – be on Pacific FC’s radar, I wanted to write a similar article highlighting Calgarian players who could make an impact with Cavalry FC.
With 11 signings already named by Cavalry, about half the inaugural squad has already been put together.
It’s apparent there is a focus on signing local talent. Of those 11 players, five grew up in Calgary, including Dominick Zator, Marco Carducci, Elijah Adegkube, Chris Serban, and Dean Northover. Nik Ledgerwood and Nico Pasquotti are from Lethbridge, but played some of their careers in Calgary, while Carlos Patino grew up in Edmonton.
While two of the players below are admittedly likely currently not available, here are four more Calgarians who I think would do a solid job for Cavalry FC at some stage down the line.
At 20 years old, Falaye would be the youngest player on Cavalry FC’s roster, were he to play in the Canadian Premier League this season. But despite his youth, he has the athleticism and footballing knowledge to still make an impact.
Following his youth career in Calgary, Falaye played two seasons with the University of Calgary Dinos in U SPORTS, and quickly established himself as one of the strongest players in the Canada West conference. With nine goals and five assists, Falaye was named the Canada West Rookie of the Year in 2016, and earned a second-team All-Canadian nod, to boot.
The following year was a re-building season for the Dinos, with the departure of many key players. Though he was still just a second-year player, Falaye took on more of a leadership role in 2017, and led the team in scoring with eight goals and two assists.
Falaye only spent two seasons with the Dinos, opting instead to attend trials with professional teams in Europe, the most notable being Borussia Dortmund. I’ve searched on Google, but haven’t found anything with regards to where he’s playing at the moment.
I watched a handful of Dinos games when Falaye was on the team. He definitely was a frightening force on the left wing, with a strong ability to take on fullbacks 1v1 and either whip in a cross, or cut in on the inside and release a shot from distance. Even at 18 or 19, he already had the speed and physique necessary to make it as a professional, as well as the technical ability.
Following the likes of Owen Hargreaves and Kevin McKenna, Elva is another Calgary talent who made the move to Germany at a young age. He trialled with VfB Stuttgart in 2014, signing a professional contract with the Bundesliga club’s reserve squad when he was 18.
After logging 57 games in three seasons with VfB Stuttgart II, he signed with German third-division side Wuerzburger Kickers in September 2018. Now 22 years old, he’s played five games for the Kickers since signing.
Apart from a four-month loan spell with third-division French side RC Strasbourg, he’s spent his entire professional career in Germany, playing in either the Regionaliga (Fourth Division) or the German Third Division. He’s also made two appearances and scored one goal for Canada’s U23 national team (with whom he’s pictured above alongside rumoured Whitecaps target Juan Cordova).
Considering he just signed for Wuerzburger, he’s obviously not available for Cavalry at the moment (unless it was for a loan spell). But considering the football education he’s been receiving in Germany over the past four years, Elva would be a fantastic edition to Cavalry, as well as the CPL.
Kamdem Fewo was born in Paris, but spent his teenage years in Calgary. While the 24-year-old defender has played his entire professional and collegiate career as a left back, he is an adept centre back and versatile enough to play anywhere along the back four.
Following his youth career in Calgary, Kamdem Fewo opted to play his college ball in the United States. He spent a year with the Huntington Foresters in the NAIA, before transferring to the University of Nevada Las Vegas Rebels, a Division 1 NCAA team, in his second year. He spent three seasons with UNLV, from 2013 to 2015, and scored four goals in 49 games, as an oft-attacking left back. He also played a summer with Foothills FC during the team’s inaugural PDL season in 2015.
Kamdem Fewo’s play for UNLV was noticed by MLS teams, and he was picked in the third round of the 2016 MLS Super Draft by the Colorado Rapids. I believe he is the only Calgarian to ever be selected in the MLS Super Draft.
Kamdem Fewo never did suit up for the Rapids, instead signing for Rochester Rhinos in the USL. He spent two seasons with the Rhinos and made 51 appearances, before moving to the Fresno Foxes in 2018. He played all last season with the Californian side, where he recorded three assists in 20 games.
He left Fresno in December 2018, and joined St. Louis FC, who announced his signing January 26th, ruling out the CPL for this season, but who knows for 2020 and beyond?
Here are some highlights from Kamdem Fewo’s 2018 season in the USL. You can see the powerful runs forward that he makes with the ball, as well as his ability to link up with teammates during an attack.
Anyone who’s seen Russo play knows that he scores goals. The 24-year-old is a classic number nine, with a muscular build and a proven ability to put the ball in the back of the net, using whatever means necessary.
It appears Russo has hung up the cleats, at least at a non-recreational level, which is unfortunate, as he’d be an ideal local signing for Cavalry FC. Maybe after seeing the CPL in full flow, he’ll be tempted to change his mind.
He played for the U of C Dinos from 2012 to 2016, (alongside Cavalry signing Dominick Zator) and notched 40 goals and 19 assists in that time. His last two seasons were his breakthrough years, with 15 goals each in 2015 and 2016. He currently holds the Dinos’ single-season scoring records with those numbers, and I believe he is the team’s all-time leading scorer as well.
He was named a first-team All-Canadian in 2015 by U SPORTS, and repeated the honour the following season.
Russo also played three summers with Foothills FC in the PDL, and is still the team’s leading goal scorer, finding the net 15 times between 2015 and 2017. He also made the PDL’s all-playoff team in 2016, when Foothills made it all the way to the championship game in just their second season.
While he never played professionally, Russo did train with Oxford United in England for two weeks in 2016, back when Oxford were still playing in League Two.
I asked Cavalry FC’s head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. about Russo, and he said that he’s pursuing a career in business, rather than professional soccer. A Google search shows he was still playing at a high amateur level last summer in the Alberta Major Soccer League and is currently the leading goal scorer in Calgary’s top indoor soccer league this season.
Any Calgarians we missed out and you feel are worth a look? Let us know below.
