The resort staff sometimes “preps” the chairs by placing rolled towels on them but they do not do this on all chairs, so the rolled towels give the illusion that the chairs have been saved but they are not saved. Protip: If you have just arrived at the pool and you see chairs containing neatly rolled orange towels, those chairs are free to use. I was appalled by this, especially since there is no shortage of signage around the pool stating that if chairs are left vacant for more than 30 minutes, they would be cleared for use by other guests. The staff member removed the objects from the chairs and the four people then set their items on the chairs. The chairs sat empty until about 2pm when a group of four arrived chaperoned by a staff member of the resort. On our second to last day, the chairs next to us were “saved” with various objects – towels, a beat-up book, a foam football, etc. The resort staff also contributed to the chair hoarding issue. Guests arrive at the pool as early as 630am to save chairs by placing towels and other objects of no value on the chairs so that they would have chairs when they arrived at the pool 3.5 hours later. We were a group of six and took no more than three chairs on any given day. There is a lack of pool loungers and chair hoarding is a serious problem at this resort – the worst I have ever seen. I did not see a single golfer in my time there but perhaps that is because I did not arrive at the pool until 9am (still way too early for vacation). The golf course runs between the resort and the ocean for a partial length of the property. The property is fairly spread out by resort standards and the grounds are beautiful and very well-kept, perhaps the most well-kept grounds I’ve seen at a resort. The person we spoke with went over upgrade options, tours, and other basic amenities. I turned to Peter and said, “No! We cannot go over to those desks! We are going to get stuck for hours! I need a beer! Where is my welcome drink?!?!” and Peter was like, I think that’s where they go over the amenities and how to use resort credit and stuff like that and I was like, “No! Those are the timeshare salespeople! I’ve read about those monsters!” After we checked in, we were ushered over to a wall of desks with salespeople at each desk. I’d also read horror stories of timeshare salespeople basically guest-napping people after they checked into the resort and holding them hostage for hours on end. The trigger for the policy change was because timeshare salespeople had recently started copying the names from the official Cabo Shuttle Services signs onto their fake Cabo Shuttle Services signs and then capturing those customers immediately as they exited baggage claim, pretending to be Cabo Shuttle Services.Ĭustomers who fell for this cruel ploy were whisked away and held hostage for a three-hour timeshare presentation before being transported to their accommodation. In the email we received from Cabo Shuttle Services, they informed us that a recent company policy had been implemented whereby they would no longer write customer names on the signs they hold up at the airport. The second thing to know about Cabo is that time share salespeople are relentless. We booked our roundtrip airport transfer through Cabo Shuttle Services for a staggering $125 (~30-minute drive each way) but they served Corona and water during the journey in our blacked-out Chevy Suburban so that lessened the blow of the price. This was our first trip to “Cabo” (in quotes because the resort is actually a 30-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas) and the first thing to know about the Cabo region is that taxis and pre-booked transfers are expensive. And I ask this question yet again: Why do people wake up at 530am on vacation? We met my friends Jill and Nikki and their husbands at the resort.įor those of you who know or have read stories about my adventures with Jill and Nikki, you are likely expecting some crazy wild story but, truth be told, it was a very tame trip. Since I’m on the topic of 40th birthday celebrations, it is worth noting that our trip to Costa Rica was the second of many celebrations taking place this year (and last year!) for my 40th birthday year.īack in November, Peter and I ventured down to Baja California for a five-night stay at Secrets Los Cabos “in” Cabo San Lucas.

Whatever the outcome, it is a healthy conversation to have. It also means discussing long-term financial plans and by association the nature of your relationship. Having the conversation about life insurance is actually a way of expressing love and care for your partner. If your incomes are unequal, will you or your partner still be able to afford your lifestyle if one of those incomes disappears? This means the home loan will be paid off in the event of the death of the bondholder and the surviving partner won’t be left with a bond payment they can’t afford on their own, possibly having to sell the property and downsize. Many bond lenders insist on credit life insurance to cover the bond. But even in the absence of children, life insurance can be critical. Children, obviously, need to be provided for. If anyone depends on you, life insurance can be a real help if you pass away. Unfortunately, accidents and illness happen, and life can be cut short unexpectedly. Why do you need life insurance at all? If you live to a ripe old age, with all debts and home loans paid off, there may be little your surviving partner needs to pay for in the event of your death other than funeral expenses, and these can be covered via a funeral plan. Retirement planning caters for the former life insurance for the latter. The life insurance industry jokes that humans only have two problems: living too long and dying too soon. Death is also an uncomfortable subject, even though we will all die, eventually. Many people – women in particular – are afraid it will make them appear mercenary or greedy…only in the relationship for the money. Life insurance is often considered a difficult conversation to have. Arguably younger couples and those without children may be less likely to discuss their financial futures. The published survey results do not reveal the age breakdown of respondents. Further, 27% of people who are aware of their partner’s life insurance do not know its value and 34% of couples rarely discuss their long-term financial plans. Of these, 43% said there were no plans in place to ensure they are legally entitled to a pay-out. According to life insurer Scottish Widows, just over half of unmarried couples know if their partner has a life insurance policy. A survey conducted in the UK suggests that many unmarried couples with life insurance could be at risk of not receiving a pay-out on the death of their partner. There are steps they can take, such as entering into a universal partnership or drafting a cohabitation agreement, that will protect their legal rights should the relationship end, either by mutual agreement or death.īut one provision often overlooked by unmarried couples, particularly if they don’t have children, is life insurance – more specifically the beneficiary arrangements. However, unmarried couples lack the legal protections afforded to married couples or those in a civil partnership. Many couples choose not to marry, but are nonetheless committed partners with shared lives and shared resources. Sometimes our role is to help keep families together, or to help people navigate issues they may not even be aware of. But we are also family lawyers, and families come in many different shapes and sizes. We write a lot about the financial consequences of divorce, which is to be expected as we are divorce lawyers.

Practice change, and the incorporation of research evidence into routine clinical practice can be extremely challenging for healthcare workers. While these intervention strategies can foster improvement related to the targeted issue, they often fail to address the root causes of stress and burnout, and may be a temporary fix for organizational problems that will eventually return. For example, interventions such as mindfulness and stress management are often used to improve the well-being of the healthcare team. Despite this, interventions tend to target one specific problem rather than comprehensively targeting the challenges experienced in primary care. These competing demands contribute to the burden that healthcare professionals are experiencing today, likely encouraging moral distress and burnout and creating a cycle that makes it even harder to provide high-quality care. These burdens trickle down within teams, creating a stressful environment wherein team members must work with administrative tasks instead of focusing on patient care. Despite these pressures, physicians are also dedicated to providing quality care to their patients. Many physicians spend hours of overtime completing EHR and other administrative tasks. These include expectations of physicians to generate wRVU by seeing more patients, suboptimal design of the EHR (electronic health record), shifting patient/consumer expectations of the provider-patient relationship, and a rapidly increasing alternative primary care sector, e.g., walk-in clinics, urgent care, concierge medicine, and online offerings. There are an increasing number of forces that create demands on providers’ performance and cognitive load. Thus, healthcare systems are facing 2 daunting yet seemingly opposed challenges: striving to achieve the goals proposed in the Quadruple Aim while increasing productivity. Most private insurers mimic this productivity-based reimbursement strategy. Reimbursement for care provided in the United States is based on productivity, i.e., work relative value units (wRVU), despite a shift towards value-based care by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. These foci are crucial for healthcare quality, yet healthcare systems must also consider other factors. These performance dimensions can be applied to far-reaching, crucial healthcare challenges, such as reducing the massive rates of burnout present in healthcare workers and combating rising healthcare costs. The framework encompasses reducing costs, improving population health and patient experience, with a new fourth domain: healthcare team well-being. In 2014, the Quadruple Aim-adapted from the widely-accepted Triple Aim -was suggested as a framework to optimize healthcare system performance.

The position will work closely with other reporters in the department, including those focused on the startups/tech economy and workforce needs.

It differs from other approaches in that it does not focus entirely on one sector of the economy. In short, this beat will place the reporter at the center of multiple, fast-developing stories that each have a major effect on the vitality of the economy in Milwaukee and the state. One day it could mean following the push by the Milwaukee Brewers to receive additional public support for operation of American Family Field, the next it could involve the upheaval Kohl’s is facing in the wrenching world of retail, the next the effort to develop the Foxconn site in Racine County. But it also means understanding shifts, including the burgeoning ‘green economy’ and developments such as the massive solar farms planned for Dane County and across the state. This means covering old-line companies such as Harley-Davidson and Briggs, as well as emerging powerhouses such as Komatsu, Generac and Milwaukee Tool. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/, part of the USA TODAY NETWORK, is seeking a forward-thinking reporter to develop a reshaped beat with one eye on the area’s manufacturing economy and the other on how the region’s economy is shifting, from more green jobs to efforts to bolster tourism and entertainment.
