Hyperactivity and ADD: Caring and Coping
Teaching and ADHD in the Southern African Classroom
How to solve your ADHD child's 7 worst daily challenges
Symptoms and Medical Diagnosis of ADHD
The criteria of the Diagnostic Statistics Manual (DSMV) are commonly used for diagnosis of ADHD. Symptoms fall into two major categories and diagnosis can be made if there are six or more symptoms in either one of these categories, or if there are six symptoms in each category. These categories are:(1) Inattention
According to the above, children with six symptoms in (1) or (2) or six in each (1) and (2) may be diagnosed with ADHD. However critics point out that these behaviours should be investigated to determine if they are linked to emotional trauma, high stress levels, undernourishment or other possible reasons. Going straight to the cause of the behaviour may reduce the numbers of children taking medication for ADHD.
Please note that ADHD is the official term used to refer to either Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
These are not official symptoms of ADHD, but have been noticed by support groups over the past four decades. Sometimes the behaviours are caused by the challenges of living with ADHD (it's really not easy for the child), others are part and parcel of ADHD.
As you read through this list, please be aware that children with ADHD would give almost anything to improve their behaviour, coordination etc. They need help, not condemnation.INFANTSConstant purposeless motion;
Learning and General Coping
Health and Other
It used to be thought that ADHD affected mainly boys. We now know that many girls are also affected but, because they are so much quieter were not recognised in the past.
Many of the signs and symptoms of ADHD persist into the adult years. Please note that not all people have the same symptoms; some will have few while others will have many. Signs and symptoms also vary in intensity, ranging from very mild to extremely severe.
A family who understands ADHD is in a far better position to cope with it and to recognise and enjoy the brilliance that can be part of ADHD.

Splitends control at home
Sometimes for many reasons the tip or ends of your hair may get split into. Why splitends on your hair? Because of harsh shampoos, damage due to direct sun, hair dryer, flat ironing too much, hair dyes, bleaching and not giving proper care to your hair.
If you already have split hair do a slight trim and do the following homemade tips to avoid further splits. Remember to keep hair healthy and treat it with great care.
If your hair is so dry and have splitends try these tips
If your hair is damaged and have splitends, try this hair moisturizing tip
For total rejuvenation of your hair to avoid splitends try natural hair pack or mask
Natural homemade ways to control splitends
Honey and olive oil is a good remedy for split ends. Mix 1 tsp of honey to 5 tsp. olive oil. Then add 1 egg yolk(if you do not like the smell of egg, then avoid egg). Apply this thoroughly on hair and scalp and massage well. Wrap hair with a hot towel. Do it for 20 min. Then rinse and shampoo well.
Avocado oil also can be applied to avoid splitends. Apply avocado oil on scalp and hair. Put hot towel. After 30 min. take a bath and shampoo well.


text: I have a PSP and a Wii, and the PSP has an app called USBhostFS allowing you to run games off the PC, similar to a USB loader. Now this got me thinking, because USBhostFS ahs a computer-side host, would it be possible to port the host to Wii, so that you use the Wii instead of the PC? This would be beneficial as it means that you won't have to power up your PC to play PSP and that the Wii is more portable. ...This is all theoretical of course.

On Thursday morning a car came off the Beltway 8 feeder road at John Ralston in northeast Harris County, went over a pole and slammed into a Shell station. The owner told Eyewitness News it was very fortunate that no one was around the area at the time of the crash. Shelves and merchandise inside the store were heavily damaged.

Let the training begin!
Look what arrived in the mail today!! 🙂
I am so excited to start waist training ! This trainer from @premadonna87 (check her out on Instagram) http://www.whatsawaist.com is called "The Works". Seen being used by Kim Kardashian West! It was a bit hard to get into at first, but once I had it on it is surprisingly comfortable.
I am 5'6″ and pre pregnancy I weighed approximately 130 pounds. I gained 40 pounds during my pregnancy and weighed 170 pounds at my heaviest. This picture is taken 4 weeks post pregnancy. Weight is 140 pounds. The waist trainer i bought is a size Medium. I haven't been to the gym (yet!) I just got very lucky & lost majority of my baby weight with labour. I will admit I wasn't the healthiest person before I found out I was pregnant and I was not in the best shape of my life. So I am using this opportunity to get back into shape and be a healthy, hot mamma! #milf 😉
I will keep you updated on the waist training experience and my "Hot Mamma" journey!

A portrait of my daughter; I managed to catch her in a pensive moment, looking very thoughtful. The post production was changing the image to Black and White then adding some duotone tinting. I don't have the colours or ratios to hand but I particularly like this, if I was to do any further work on the image it might be soften it a little to give a more retro feel to it.
New Stock Sites
As old stock and microstock agencies fails, like a forest after a fire, new shoots spring up from the leaf litter. I've been watching this with interest and there are few newer agencies that look quite interesting, as always most of the make the commitment to the photographer, via the best rates of commission or some other carrot to entice people away from other agencies, but as we've seen in the past, that often goes out of the window once they become huge payers in the game. So watch this space, I've uploaded a test set of 10 images for initial approval to gain trust with the agency, we'll see if they're approved or not, if they are I'll start uploading and tracking the sales, to see if they're as good as they claim.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention, that their current lead time for approval is about 130 hours, that's about 5.5 days and weekends don't count, so you can probably safely assume that it's a full week to turn new images around. Again. we'll see how accurate that is.
T'was a Cold Dark Night…..
…. well, it wasn't that cold, but it was dark, and I found myself in a field, near a gig venue, with a band, and a working light that, well, wasn't. I've gotta be be honest, I put on a confident face, and hopefully none of the guys realised how difficult it is to work in the dark whilst trying to setup shots, so my thanks go out to Smokescreen, for being so patient with this particular photographer.
The shot itself was relatively simple and like many, many works, the idea was an adaptation of something that's been used for bands before to give a look of mystery, and perhaps even impending doom. Most notably I tip my hat to Mick Rock who was the photographer for the cover of the album Queen II, with the most obvious difference being that he lit the band from above, to give the iconic contrasty image that is known throughout the rock world.
My image was a composite of five individual images, all lit at a 90 degree angle from the side (imagine shooting a light directly into the subjects ear) using a narrow grid to reduce spill.
Hope you like it.
Less Live more Contrived.
As much as I love to shoot live concerts and gigs, I've gotta be honest, sometimes it can be somewhat restrictive, creatively speaking; so to that end one of the reasons that I've not been posting is due to spending time developing and improving other technique.
I've managed to pull together a couple of band shoots recently and picked up some work on an artists solo album, so I'm starting to develop a lot more from that angle, in the meantime I'm mixing a lot of the live work in with it too.
I'll post some images in the next week or so of an album launch that I covered in addition to some of the band shots.
Stay tuned.
HDR – Just get over it!
This topic has been raising it's head again and again over the last month or two, most recently on Scott Kelby's blog, and also on the "The Lightroom Killer Tips" site. So here's my take on it….
Ya know, life really is too short, especially when it comes to beating your head against someone else's opinion. A very wise man once said "A mind changed against it's will, is of the same opinion still" if you don't like HDR, that's cool, I'm certainly not going to waste hours of my day going on a campaign about how wrong you are, and yet that's the current situation, and although in the broad scheme of things this blog post won't be change anyones mind, that's not why I wrote it.
In every language and every religion, there's a prayer or a saying or a proverb from some wise dude somewhere that basically says this (or some version of this)..
Worry about the things in life you can do something about and don't waste your time stressing about the stuff you can't change. It'll give you grey hairs and wrinkles and achieve nothing positive.
So if you see an HDR image, and it looks fake, who cares! Really! It's art after all (or not depending on your view!) if you don't like it, turn the page, click the "next" link, move along, forget about it and get on with your day, no one requires you to like it, and there's certainly no need to go all "Canon vs Nikon", or "Film vs Digital" on it.
Take a deep breath, let the stress go and move along.
Incidentally the same goes for the pro-HDR crowd who certainly aren't exempt from the whole evangelistic zealotry either, don't feed the troll, if someone expresses a dislike of one of your images (HDR or not), it's ok, move on, liking your image, isn't a requirement, nor is liking HDR, high key or low key, or anything else. You (probably) won't change their mind, either by insulting their aesthetic vision, or their intelligence, take a deep breath and move along.
Do You Care What Happens to Your Images?
Last week I saw a news item about Clause 43 of the UK Digital Economy Bill. For those of you that aren't aware, this particular clause addresses the matter of Orphaned Works. Here's what it's about in a couple of sentences as I understand it (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). From a 5,000 ft view, it basically says that the UK government has recognised that an in ability to use works (in this case photographs) simply because the owner/creator/copyright holder cannot be traced and therefore permission is unable to be requested, is a severe detriment to the UK's cultural heritage. To this end they put together this completely barmy bill, that says if the originator of the image cannot be readily found and identified after making a best effort to do so, then the photograph could be considered and Orphaned Work, and as such be available for use by the person that promises they honestly, really did look very, very hard for the originator of the work.
I'm sure many of you can see how this is wide open to abuse from people that want images but don't want to pay for the use, after all, as the phrase goes "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission!!"
Anyway, a bunch of very well respected photographers organisations and agencies got together, to propose alternatives to those already put forward by the Government.
I just wanted to use this post to draw peoples attention to that site: http://www.stop43.org.uk/
Take note, be aware, spread the word….. in the long run it could easily be your images being used without permission, and if you don't live in the UK, this applies to you just as much, after all by definition, an Orphan Work is one where there is no indication as to who owns it, wherever they are in the world!!
Flash Triggers
OK. So it's been a while. Great to see so many of you joining up to the Concert Photography Community over at Ning (link can be found in the side bar if you've not been there yet). I've been spending the festive season checking out low end flash triggers. Whilst I accept that there's a strong likelihood that I'll be jumping on the Pocket Wizard bandwagon eventually, for now, I just wanted to see what was available. I've checked out a whole bunch of different sources of information and settled on a product that I'm quite happy with.
It's important to understand that when I say cheap we're talking about triggers/receivers that are less than £70 (about $100 US), which inevitably means that we'll be dealing with "cheap far east imports" (not to be confused with expensive far east imports). This means that the prices are low, but the quality can be extremely variable, as can be seen as you read through the reviews of the many different triggers out there, but them's the breaks 🙂
One last thing, most of these can be found on eBay in one form or another and when you're browsing eBay, if you look closely many are available shipped from Hong Kong, and whilst this isn't necessarily a bad thing, there are a few things to be aware of the biggest of which is the import duty that you have a good chance of getting stuck with as your gear passes through customs, and secondly if the gear is DOA for any reason, it's a pain to return it back to Hong Kong (remember what I said about variable quality?). However if you look closely there will be some sellers that have already gone through the import hassles and duties hassles and already have them in your country, which is a much easier thing to deal with.
So the winner was Yongnuo CTR 301P, which I bought from UK eBay seller fotobyte-uk. I still can't believe it myself, but I bought a remote wireless trigger and two receivers for the astounding sum of £42.99 (about $60 US) that's about £12 per piece, and the shipping was free. They shipped in a couple of days (with CR2 lithium batteries!!) and worked right out of the box. They work in very close proximity (some remote wireless triggers have been know to misfire when they're too close together) and they work way across a 20ft room (which is fine for my purposes). It's important to note that I've not used and abused them over a period of time, and they're definitely not very robust (what do you want for that price?!?), I can't comment on overall batch quality, but for me these things have saved me a bunch of cash, since splashing out on the high end of Pocket Wizards would have set me back more than £500, which will buy me lots of these of these, which I predict will serve me in the 90-95% of shoots that don't require the extra stretch and robustness that the higher end brands provide.
One last thing…. did I mentioned that they can also act as light slaves (triggered by other flashes) as well as wireless slaves!! Nice!!
Low Light Frustration
I've been wanting to get outside for a week or so and try some nice low-light shots, long exposure in the order of minutes. Then it snowed….. Then it snowed some more…. then it froze over and iced…. then it snowed some more… now it's raining, you gotta love that UK weather! I don't need it to be perfect weather, but snow and rain are sure to diminish image quality. Keeping my fingers crossed for some non-bad weather for a few days and I'll see if I can't get a few of these pictures out of my head and into the camera.
Lighting Musing
Wow, the first post of 2009 comes in February, which makes me feel a bit sad that I've gone a whole month without yapping on here. I've recently decided to start looking at some lighting solutions because let's face it, without light the photographer is lost. But those who are familiar with my work will know that I prefer to work with available light and fast lenses, whether it be portraiture or music photography, day light and available light have been where my love has been. There's nothing quite as spectacular as a portrait taken when the daylight is diffused in just the right way, at the correct angle to make (or exceed) the image you have in your mind.
But two of my favourite photographers also use additional light to create a mood and an effect that blows me away frequently, one I have mentioned in this blog several time, Damien Lovegrove, who has gone from strength to strength in his commercial career and now authors DVD's, speaks at professional conferences, writes for magazines, the list is endless. The other sadly died in 2002, Yousuf Karsh is generally heralded by some of the top portrait photographers as a leader in the field, his work had so much depth and often created an image that epitomises the subject's inner personality (Yousuf was quoted many times that this was because his interest always was in the personality rather than the image itself!). The one thing that both of these great photographers have in common is a background in stage lighting, Damien at BBC Television, and Yousuf experienced and experimented in a theatre environment.
Now Damien is proof that he loves to experiment with lighting, Yousuf was amazed at the possibilities using incandescent lighting, so I'm now looking at my options to take the plunge in to the mystical realms of lighting. I've started doing research and have decided that although more expensive, the freedom offered by a mobile solution like Elinchrom's Ranger line or Broncolor Mobilite seem to be the way to go to give freedom.
Once I've made a choice and started experimenting, I'll be posting some images for critique, but in the meantime, if anyone has any good resources for lighting knowledge and information, I'll gladly accept it, since entering the world of photographic lighting feels like the first time I picked up a camera and wondered what difference changing the F-stop made? It's quite overwhelming.
One last thing, if you're not familiar with Yousuf Karsh' work you can find him right here: http://karsh.org
Imelda May
Imelda May actually opened for Joe Bonamassa at NEC in Birmingham, although I've gotta say I enjoyed her and her band every bit as much as I did Joe. She has a style jazzy blues, and has many Rock n Roll & Rockabilly tunes in her bag of tricks. If you like the Lazy Jumpers or other Jump Blues style music, you'll love Imelda, she's well worth a listen and I saw her new CD (Love Tattoo) in Zavvi the other day and this link will take to the CD at Amazon UK.
As always, a link a to her gallery in my portfolio can be found here….

Terry Lyons, Director of Education
"Change is inevitable; growth is optional." - John C. Maxwell
Today marks an exciting new chapter in our history, and I'm both humbled and honoured to take over as the seventh Director of Education for the Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board.
I find myself stepping into this position at a most opportune time. Thanks to the direction of Paul Picard and his team, as well as the wise counsel of our Board of Trustees, we find ourselves in an extremely enviable position. Our student achievement results are at an alltime high, our organization is on solid financial ground, and we have hired a number of new teachers and other staff this year as our enrolment continues to exceed expectations.
My top priority as I transition into this new role will be to maintain our positive momentum so that we can remain on the upward trajectory we have mapped out over the last several years. We will continue to distinguish ourselves as the school board of choice for innovative programming and top quality faith-based educational experiences by keeping our minds open to exploring new opportunities for our students.
With new leadership, change is inevitable. Over the coming days you will hear about new roles for some members of our team. We have exceptionally talented people here who bring many gifts to our organization; please trust that any changes will be made with the intention of maximizing those gifts for the best interest of our students, their families, and our staff.
I know there are many others throughout our schools with great strengths and limitless potential. Another one of my other top priorities is to build capacity within our organization, and I would encourage those with aspirations for greater heights to prayerfully consider how they might grow within our system and find new ways to utilize their own gifts for the betterment of our students.
As always, my door and my mind is open. The health of any organization depends on the willingness of its leadership team to listen and consider new ideas on how we can continuously improve. If you have ideas, I look forward to hearing from you.
In closing, I look forward to working with our entire team so that together, we can bring to life the words enshrined in our mission statement: to know every student, inspire them to follow the example of Jesus, and empower them with the knowledge and skills they need to live purposeful, meaningful lives.

Has anyone played "Beyond Good & Evil"? It's another Ubisoft game that I've heard good things about.

I tried Oblivion but it didn't hold my attention.
I have VTM: Bloodlines, and while it seems intriguing, it is not rebootworthy.
Does anybody know of any single player RPGs similar in scope to Baldur's Gate, Planescape Torment, or Fallout?
I haven't heard anything good about Neverwinter Nights 2. I am however, enjoying Icewind Dale 2 in VMWare.

Far Cry- Adventure on a tropical island is definitely worth trying for its sneak and free roaming aspects. See the hill, way over there in the distance?- You can run/drive/swim to it without a noticeable scene load. As I recall, there is a nuke somewhere about to go off...
Oblivion is outstanding. But there are Morrowind fanatics who were not happy with it. I have Morrowind on my list to play. If you haven't seen check out the Oblivion FAQ in this forum.
Half Life 2- The supreme solo shooter. The single most impressive game of it's kind.
Half Life (original)- despite lesser graphics by todays standards one of the great solo shooter adventures.
Total War:Medieval (the original)- RTS at it's best with very large armies and an outstanding hybrid game- both RTS and strategy elements. I've not played the new version.
VTM:Bloodlines- A Good RPG. I enjoyed it.
System Shock 2- All most forgot, outstanding suspense and atmospherics.
Posted 12 June 2007 - 09:31 AM
Half-Life 1 + Blue Shift + Opposing Force: The original still holds up after all these years, and the two expansion packs are fun.
HL2 + Episode 1: Probably the best straight-up FPS I've ever played, the design in this game is brilliant.
Vampire:Bloodlines: Fun RPG/FPS hybrid
System Shock 2: One of my all time favorites - precursor to Deus Ex, excellent RPG/FPS/Survival Horror game
Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War: Good RTS, nice attention to detail, feels a bit like Starcraft, has some nice additions to RTS gameplay. There's very little resource gathering in it.
Oblivion: Sure, it's shallower than they would like to pretend it is, but a good free-roaming RPG nonetheless, and it sure is pretty.
Deus Ex 2: Yes, it's a disappointment compared with the first, but it's still one of the more intelligent shooters out there, and I liked it.
I've heard excellent things about Beyond Good & Evil, though I haven't gotten around to it yet - it's on my list along with Stalker.

I'll echo what some of the others said. Oblivion is good, but not much too my liking. (I prefer something more gritty and dark such as Gothic 3) And Deus Ex 2 is nice, as well as Half-Life 2.
Oh yes, and Rainbow Six: Las Vegas rulez! If you like semi-tactical shooters. In reality its not nearly as hard as the previews Rainbow titles, as you have regenerating health, and your buddies are near invincible. But its so damn fun I can't get enough of it.
Hope this helps

I haven't been truly impressed with any recent Windows game. If I reboot, it's for the older stuff that was actually innovating.
I'm actually TOO good at both TMFPPG and Fable:TLC.

Deep Space Nine: The Fallen. Third-person shooter set in the Deep Space Nine universe.
Freedom Force and Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich. Super hero actions RPGs.
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. Best computer strategy game.
War! Age of Imperialism. Good strategy game. The Mac version doesn't work under Rosetta.
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. An overlooked gem. It's a vehicle-based RTS that lets you take control of any unit and play it in the first-person perspective. So you can fly any of your helicopters or drive any of your tanks, while still commanding the other units.

They screwed the pooch on the PC version, so play it on the X-box 1 if at all. Not the 360 version, either, it picked graphics over gameplay.

Stoney Tark is Iron Man, and Jew Hackman is Wolverine, but Hawkeye's hand-eye coordination is lame, and heli-carriers can't be real. Our first ever gear review, the CRKT M16-Z series pocket knife. Superman vs. Batman casting update: the creator of Facebook as Lex Luthor and Simba's Uncle Scar as Alfred. John Malkovich and Leo di Caprio get added to Mike's list of actors he hates.

The Medicare Access & CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) replaced the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) and created the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
*NEW* Reminder: Upcoming 2017 MIPS Reporting Deadlines
Don't forget to submit data for the 2017 Merit-based Incentive Payment System performance period. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires eligible clinicians to submit 2017 data no later than March 16 for groups reporting via the CMS web interface and March 31 for all other MIPS reporting, including via https://qpp.cms.gov/.
Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Policy for MIPS Clinicians in 2017 - 12/6/2017
As part of the Quality Payment Program (QPP) Year 2 final rule, which was released on November 2, 2017, CMS issued an interim final rule with comment period, which includes the Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances policy for the transition year of MIPS. This policy specifically addresses extreme and uncontrollable circumstances for the MIPS Advancing Care Information, Quality, and Improvement Activities performance categories in 2017. (It does not apply to the Cost performance category since it has a 0 percent weight in 2017.)
Who does this policy apply to?
Under this policy, if you're a MIPS eligible clinician who has been affected by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, or Maria, or the Northern California wildfires:
- You do not need to submit an application to reweight the performance categories; CMS will be able to identify you based on the information in the Provider Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System (PECOS).
- You will automatically receive a neutral MIPS payment adjustment, unless you choose to submit data for any of the MIPS performance categories, in which case you will be scored based on the data you submitted.
Note, this automatic extreme and uncontrollable circumstances policy only applies to you if you're a MIPS eligible clinician in an affected area. It does not apply to MIPS eligible clinicians in MIPS Alternative Payment Models (MIPS APMs) in 2017 (such as the Medicare Shared Savings Program).
To learn more about the policy, view the interim final rule with comment period and the Extreme and Uncontrollable Circumstances Policy for MIPS in 2017 Fact Sheet (found on the right-hand side).
Contact the QPP Service Center for questions at 1-866-288-8292 (TTY 1-877- 715- 6222), Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM-8:00 PM Eastern time or by email at: email@example.com.
Quality Payment Program (QPP) Hardship Exception Application for the 2017 Transition Year is Now Open
The QPP Hardship Exception Application can be found on the QPP website. MIPS eligible clinicians (ECs) and groups may qualify for a reweighting of their Advancing Care Information (ACI) performance category score to 0% of the final score, and can submit a hardship exception application, for one of the following specified reasons:
- Insufficient internet connectivity
- Extreme and uncontrollable circumstances
- Disaster (i.e., natural disaster in which the Certified EHR Technology (CEHRT) was damaged or destroyed)
- Practice or hospital closure
- Severe financial distress (bankruptcy or debt restructuring)
- EHR certification/vendor issues (CERHT issues)
- Lack of control over the availability of the CERHT
In addition to submitting an application via the QPP website, ECs may also contact the QPP Service Center and work with a representative to verbally submit an application.
To submit your application, you will need:
- Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for group applications or National Provider Identifier (NPI) for individual applicants;
- Contact information for the person working on behalf of the individual clinician or group, including first and last name, e-mail address, and telephone number; and
- Selection of the hardship exeception category (listed above) and supplemental information
Applications will be processed on a rolling basis. Once an application is submitted, a confirmation email will be sent out to indicate status as pending, approved or dismissed.
You may contact the QPP Service Center by calling 1-866-288-8292 or TTY: 1-877-715-6222. You may also email them at email@example.com.
Academy Submits Comments on Episode-Based Cost Measures
On April 24, the Academy submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on CMS' Request for Information on Episode-based Cost Measure Development for the Quality Payment Program (QPP). CMS will incorporate cost measures into the cost performance category for MIPS for 2018 reporting. You can read the Academy's comment letter here
CMS Announces Initiative to Support Small Practices with MIPS Reporting
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is offering small practices with 15 or fewer clinicians, including those in rural locations, health professional shortage areas, and medically underserved areas, support for reporting under MIPS in 2017. CMS has identified experienced local organizations that can help clinicians with the following:
- Selecting and reporting appropriate measures and activities under each MIPS performance category
- Engage in practice improvement
- Optimize their Health Information Technology (HIT)
- Evaluate options for joining an Advanced Alternative Payment Model (APM)
You can find the contact information for local technical assistance organizations and addtional resources here
Preparing for MIPS: HP Update Podcasts Released
The HP Update podcast features discussions on MIPS reporting in 2017, providing insights into how practices are preparing for the new program. 3P leaders, Robert Lorenz, MD, and Jane Dillon, MD, discuss the details of 2017 MIPS reporting requirements while Lance Manning, MD, explains how his private practice is preparing for MIPS.
You can listen to the podcasts here.
Academy Comments on MIPS and APM Final Rule
On December 19, the Academy submitted comments to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in response to the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Alternative Payment Model (APM) Final Rule. The Academy commented on the reduced reporting requirements for the transition year; MIPS performance category criteria and scoring; Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) and quality measure reporting requirements; and applicability of APMs to Otolaryngologists - Head and Neck Surgeons. Access the comments.
Academy Factsheets on the New MIPS and APM Programs
To assist Members with MIPS and APM reporting, the Academy has created fact sheets providing an overview of each program including MIPS reporting categories and Advanced APM eligibility criteria.
MIPS Background
Starting January 1, 2017 eligible clinicians (ECs) will report under MIPS. Unless they qualify for an exemption, do not meet the minimum reporting threshold, or are part of an Advanced APM, all physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, or certified registered nurse anesthetists who bill Medicare are considered ECs and must participate in MIPS.
For the 2017 reporting period, clinicians have the option to pick their pace with three reporting periods for MIPS:
- Test Pace: Report some data in 2017.
- 1 quality measure, or 1 improvement activity, or 4/ 5 required advancing care information (ACI) measures.
- Partial MIPS Reporting: Report one or more MIPS performance categories for at least 90 consecutive days in 2017 (must begin reporting by October 2, 2017).
- 1+ quality measure, or 1+ improvement activities, or 4/ 5 required ACI measures
- Full MIPS Reporting: Report all MIPS categories for at least 90 consecutive days in 2017 (must begin reporting by October 2, 2017).
ECs will report on three categories that will add up to a composite performance score (CPS). The CPS will be used by CMS to determine whether or not an EC will receive a bonus payment or will be subject to a payment reduction. The 2019 payment adjustments will be based on 2017 reporting. Learn more about the MIPS program here.

Driving Omnichannel Retail with Custom Product Configuration
Buying complex products like car roof racks can be overwhelming for retail shoppers. Copious worked with Yakima to reimagine their direct-to-consumer ecommerce experience to facilitate easier online sales and enrich in-store experiences. Developing a responsive experience and custom product configurator using Magento Enterprise laid the foundation for a standout omnichannel experience.
Since the mid-70s, Yakima's innovative rack products have helped lovers of the outdoors easily pack and transport their prized gear. With many customers shopping directly with retail distributors, Yakima recognized a need to create a more modern ecommerce site that facilitated brand growth in direct-to-consumer ecommerce and retail channels.
Working together to develop a comprehensive customer journey map, the Copious and Yakima teams discovered new opportunities to design a best-in-class experience across channels. We facilitated numerous workshops across the ecommerce, brand, product, IT and customer service teams to gain a full understanding of their brand, different products, and back-office systems.
Insights from the workshops helped us develop a strategy for product bundling, enhanced detail pages, and UX improvements based on up-to-date personas. Understanding the complexity of online shopping for car racks through a full picture of the buyer journey helped us envision a more engaging experience design.
With many Yakima customers experiencing the brand through retail partners like REI or Moosejaw, we wanted to enable quick access to information for in-store customers and sales associates. Strategic catalog architecture with Magento supported easy search and filter options based on shopper activities or product needs. We also created a foundation for white-label online shopping experiences with retail partners, facilitating truly seamless experiences for customers.
The "Fit My Car" configurator dramatically simplifies the experience around finding and purchasing products by dynamically generating product bundles to match shopper needs. A custom Magento Enterprise module easily pairs customers' vehicle with the right set of products or accessories for their make, model, or roof type. A custom integration with Yakima's ERP solution, QAD, automatically links hundreds of individual product SKUs with thousands of unique vehicle fits.
We also created a new product type to allow the up-sell/packaging of bundles (base rack systems) with other carrier rack products like cargo boxes, bike racks, boat racks, and more.
"We're committed to meeting the needs of our customers and business partners as mobile and digital continue to evolve. The newly responsive experience has already dramatically improved experiences for our customers, vendors, and retailers."
Ryan Martin, CEO
After exploring several visual directions, our teams decided to test two variations with an extended set of Yakima stakeholders and external participants. The final visual direction guided a more modern site aesthetic, and future plans for product packaging and in-store displays.

Be Blessed! Participate in Prayer Week, Jan. 8-15
Pick up your prayer guide Jan. 8 for daily use during Prayer Week. This year's guide focuses on the Fruits of the Spirit. In Galations 5:22-23, the Apostle Paul says "...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Let's pray daily as individuals and in our Life Groups about incorporating these virtues in our lives. Paul says that if we live by the Spirit we will not gratify the desires of our sinful nature.
On Wednesday, Jan. 11, a group prayer session will be held at 6:15 p.m. in The Gallery. You may also come early and partake in our HUB meal at 5:15 p.m. (sign up for the meal next Sunday, Jan. 8, in the lobby).
Plan to give special emphasis to your prayer life during Prayer Week as you enter 2017.

So what has happened to me in the eight months since I last posted? Well... I got married, I got sick, I've been traveling, and I moved (All in that order too!). I have just been a busy girl. But that's no excuse. This is really my way of saying I'm sorry. I've kind of put this blog on the back burner.
All this time not blogging has given me a chance to really think about what I want to make this all about. I was unfocused before, I wanted to write about everything crafty under the sun. But really this should be about my true passion. So what is that then? Well as you might guess by my new title it would be baking. And you would be mostly right, I love to bake and it is my true passion. And I will also be including other recipes here as well as maybe the occasional craft or two.
So I would like to welcome all of you to my revamped blog!

We pledge to listen to your needs (tailored to suit you) and reach a strategy that involves you and your family.

We make the following promises:
1. We will help you explore all potential real estate options to determine the type of property you should look for.
2. We will help you find a mortgage broker that specializes in loans that fit your financial situation.
3. We will help you understand the rules and regulations that apply to real estate purchases, specifically with the types of services a realtor can provide. It is important that you understand the three types of agency that may be involved in the sale of real estate. Any realtor can act as a buyer's agent, seller's agent or transaction broker. You should know which of these your particular agent is acting as. If you call the agent on the 'for sale' sign in front of a property, they most likely will be a seller's agent. An agent cannot represent both the seller and the buyer. If you want to be represented you need to sign a buyers agent agreement. Most of these are free to you as the buyer. Please ask us more about agency, it is very important.
4. We can provide you with a list of all properties listed on the Ark City, Winfield and Wichita area Multi List of properties, i.e. listed with other realtors.
