Clinicians who participated in the Quality Payment Program (QPP) established by Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) can now submit their 2017 performance data through an online system—and not to multiple websites as with past CMS programs.
The site's submission period runs through March 31, except for groups using the CMS Web Interface, which can submit from Jan. 22 through March 16.
"(MACRA) requires CMS to implement the Quality Payment Program, and we are committed to doing so in the least burdensome way possible," CMS Administrator Seema Verma, MPH, said in a statement. "The new data submission system makes it easier for clinicians to meet MACRA's reporting requirements and spend more time treating patients instead of filing paperwork."
CMS said in a press release the new system is an improvement over the more burdensome reporting required by the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and the Medicare Electronic Health Record Incentive Program.
Under the "pick your pace" offered for the QPP's first performance year, clinicians participating in the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) track have to submit data on at least one quality measure or improvement activity to avoid a negative payment adjustment in 2019.
The submission system will update scores in real time for each of the four MIPS performance categories. Scores can be updated at any time during the submission period if clinicians add new data, a feature the HHS Office of the Inspector General said makes MIPS reporting particularly vulnerable to fraud and "could be abused if users submit inaccurate data solely for the purpose of obtaining the maximum possible points."
For those participating in the Advanced Alternative Payment Model (AAPM) track or a MIPS APM, reporting may have to wait. CMS said in an accompanying fact sheet that it's still working on the look-up tool for participants in models like Next Generation ACO and the Medicare Shared Savings Program and anticipates releasing an updated tool later this month.

Information for patients: Chemo and blood stem cell transplantation for rare autoimmune diseases
January 4,
A number of media stories have recently highlighted The Ottawa Hospitals use of chemotherapy and blood stem cell transplantation to treat rare autoimmune diseases, such as myasthenia gravis, stiff person syndrome and scleroderma. These stories have generated a lot of hope and many questions. Answers to some of the most common questions are provided below.
1. What is the treatment and how does it work?
The treatment is called immunoablation and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (IAHSCT). In appropriate patients, it can be used to reset the immune system replacing a diseased immune system with new one.
Normally the immune system protects the body against foreign disease-causing organisms, but in people with autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks the bodys own organs. It is hoped that IAHSCT can reset the immune system and prevent this.
IAHSCT is a two-step procedure:
The first step begins by giving a person chemotherapy followed by a medication that moves their hematopoietic (blood) stem cells from the bone marrow into their blood. These stem cells are then collected from the blood, purified and frozen. This step takes about two weeks.
The second step begins with high doses of chemotherapy drugs which are used to eliminate the persons diseased immune system. The stem cells collected in the first step are thawed and then transplanted back into the same person, so that they can give rise to a new immune system. There are many potential side effects from the chemotherapy and patients require specialized care, usually in hospital, for at least four to six weeks.
The treatment is similar to a procedure that has been used to treat leukemia (blood cancer) for several decades.
2. Which conditions can be treated using this procedure and how can I get more information?
The Ottawa Hospitals Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation Program has performed a small number of these transplants in patients with severe autoimmune diseases who have not responded to conventional treatments. The diseases are listed below with links to more information.
Myasthenia gravis
Results published in JAMA Neurology
Lay summary and CTV story
Stiff person syndrome
Results published in JAMA Neurology
Media release and Canadian Press story
Patient story and CTV story
The Ottawa Hospital performed this procedure based upon the experience of researchers from Europe who conducted a randomized clinical trial, published in JAMA.
Multiple sclerosis
Results published in The Lancet
Media release
3. What are the risks of the treatment?
This treatment carries a significant risk complications including a risk of death. There is no guarantee of success.
4. How can I find out if I am a candidate for this procedure?
If you are interested in this procedure, please consult with your own medical specialist. He or she will be able to advise you and, if appropriate, make a referral to a hospital with experience in this area.
The Ottawa Hospital can only accept referrals from patients with Canadian provincial health coverage. In addition, referrals must come from specialists who have expertise in treating the autoimmune disease in question, and must be accompanied by detailed records or a synopsis of the illness. Please note that this treatment is only appropriate for people with selected autoimmune diseases.
5. Where else can I find information about stem cells and experimental therapies?
The International Society for Stem Cell Research has compiled a list of questions to ask when considering stem cell treatments.
The National Institutes of Health in the U.S. houses a database of clinical trials, which is searchable by disease and location.
The Ottawa Hospital: Inspired by research. Driven by compassion
The Ottawa Hospital is one of Canadas largest learning and research hospitals with over 1,100 beds, approximately 12,000 staff and an annual budget of over $1.2 billion. Our focus on research and learning helps us develop new and innovative ways to treat patients and improve care. As a multi-campus hospital, affiliated with the University of Ottawa, we deliver specialized care to the Eastern Ontario region, but our techniques and research discoveries are adopted around the world. We engage the community at all levels to support our vision for better patient care.

A Boston contract dispute has arisen at a Middleboro gas and electric board, which questions whether the general manager of the operation has a valid contract or is even legally the leader of the department.
Our Boston contract dispute attorneys understand that this involves a government contract that the individual had with the town's gas and electric commissioners.
The board voted to fire the acting general manager (contract or not) after certain of his actions were called into question. Namely, he had gotten into the habit of staying in local hotels after late meetings and during particularly bad storms. He then would send the bills to the taxpayer-funded G&E.
Additionally, the general manager would attend conventions that lasted two and three days, but was then reimbursed for longer trips. It was later determined that the commission was also subsidizing his dues for the Rotary Club, as well as meals at the club's weekly meetings.
Those are all serious allegations, but what is really being called into question is whether the commission can fire him at all, or whether he has certain protections as stated in a contract he signed in 2009. The general manager and his attorneys say that in 2009, he signed a contract with the man who previously served as the commission's chairman. That contract, he maintains, is legally binding.
However, that chairman was not re-elected to office (he opted out at the last minute). The commission maintains that it was in the midst of talks with the general manager to determine the details of his contract. Yet they maintain that the contract the general manager signed was not formally approved by the board – and therefore, doesn't hold any legal merit. They contend that means they can fire him at any time, without cause.
Meanwhile, the commission is undergoing a forensic audit of all its finances. Due to that, the commission has voted to suspend any contract talks until the audit is finished. So in the meantime, they plan to continue to allow the general manager to maintain his current duties – but say they won't concede that he has any rights to the position.
Of course, our Boston business lawyers can't parse out who is right and wrong from a few media reports. What is important to note in this whole dispute is that any time you sign a contract, it's critical to have an attorney review it to ensure that you are on solid legal footing before signing it. In this case, the commission is not contending that there is no contract – just that it's not legally valid. But if this general manager signed on with the commission chairman, it's likely he had no reason to believe the contract wasn't legally binding. He likely skipped having it reviewed by an attorney because he figured his I's were dotted and T's were crossed.
This case illustrates why you can't always trust even the words in black and white, without input from an experienced business attorney.

By Ben Boomer, CSEE Board President
Coyote plays a big part in Navajo culture, and was very much a part of my childhood. Those coyotes are an hilarious and tricky bunch with their howling cackling cacophony waiting just out of sight for any opportunity for shenanigans. Opportunities abound for the trickster as they wait for the time to have a bit of fun, waiting for us to be arrogant, or impatient, or just sleepy enough for them to slip in. Coyote stories are more than entertainment, and serve to warn and teach us about the unknown, and sometimes chaotic elements of nature and existence. I look around the world now, and wonder how Coyote is working his magic and I am reminded of a very old story about Coyote and The Giant. It goes something like this:
Coyote was feeling terrific as he strutted down the road, and decided to admire his new tuft of yellow hair in a nearby stream and have a sweat bath. As he came over a hill he happened across a mighty giant who was known to terrorize all the land, creatures, and people.
"Heya cousin!" Coyote said " You are looking so giant and fierce, like the biggest giant. The best giant. You are not as great as you were the last time I saw you. You seem slow and sickly. Sad. How about a sweat bath to rid yourself of the bad and terrible things?"
"Do I need a sweat bath? What kind of bad and terrible things?" The Giant said as he pondered his fat belly and greasy hands.
"Just wait and see, follow me, or I'll just make myself fabulous without you!" Coyote yelled as he trotted off.
Coyote stayed well out of range of the Giant's club while he scouted an ideal spot for a sweat bath next to a stream.
"You build the sweat lodge while I gather wood and herbs for the fire and bitter tea" Coyote said.
"Ok" The Giant said in his slow dumb way. " WIll this help me chase down those delicious humans? I love to eat the little precious ones and I don't like bitter tea!"
"You are getting slow, and smelly. Very sad. If you sweat like me and drink the bitter tea you will be fast, so fast. I am the fastest creature around, ask anyone, I out run all the other animals, so fast, so agile, the best, believe me, you will be great, so great!" Coyote chortled.
Once the two were in the sweat house, Coyote secured the door blocking the light and sound of the outside. In the darkness of the sweat house it began to get very hot, and The Giant began to complain asking to go outside.
"We will go outside in a while, first you have to drink this bitter tea. It is very bitter let me warn you, the most bitter tea" Coyote said as he drank.
Coyote lept out as the Giant drank and complained. He fashioned some bowls from some tree bark.
"I feel sick to my stomach, and dizzy from this bitter tea" whined The Giant.
"It is time for you to purge all the bad and terrible things, close your eyes and use this bowl I made for you so you can see all the sickness you got rid of!" Coyote said as he laid out the bowls.
With eyes closed they both purged loudly. Coyote kept his eyes open and saw that the contents of the Giant's stomach were clean. He quickly switched it with his own parasite infested, toxic, vile bowl of puke.
"Such a mess! Look cousin at all the bad and horrible things infesting you! No wonder you are so slow, let's go back in for more cleansing!" Coyote said as he snickered quietly to himself.
As The Giant finished heaving, Coyote took the opportunity to sneak a deer leg into the dark sweat lodge. "Now you are ready for me to perform my true magic! Come feel how muscular and healthy my leg is!" Coyote said as he offered the deer leg in the darkness. The Giant felt it. Coyote then took a rock and bashed the deer leg until it gave a loud snap. Coyote howled in pretend pain and had The Giant feel the broken leg. Coyote began to spit on his leg and chant. "Be strong leg, be the strongest, stronger than the rest, be the best leg!" he spit and chanted, spit and chanted!
He then offered The Giant his own perfectly healthy leg and The Giant said, "That is amazing, what powerful magic! Is this really your secret?"
Coyote replied "Of course, believe me, ask anyone, I am powerful, so magic and filled with power! Let me show you, but it will hurt a little at first!"
Coyote then took the Giant's legs and began smashing them with the club. He smashed, and bashed, and battered until he heard several loud snaps followed by the agonizing scream of The Giant.
"You have broken them! My legs!" The Giant howled.
"Start spitting, and don't stop spitting on them until they are healed, spit and spit some more, you can't spit too much believe me!" The Coyote sang out as he fled the sweat lodge into the night.
Coyote sat on the hillside listening to The Giant scream and spit knowing that The Giant would be lucky to walk again, and would never be able to outrun even the smallest human.
The power and mystery of the trickster is that you never know when his foolish antics are causing more trouble, or when that trouble does some good. Best to be a little wary and have a lot of respect. Trickster is there to show all the flaws, push the boundaries, and create opportunities that never existed before. This happens in a foolish funny way, but also in an unpredictable terrifying way. If you are quiet and listen hard all those Coyote brothers are cackling away in the night, just out of sight, waiting.
Ben Boomer experienced his childhood as a Dine hybrid on the Navajo reservation participating in both traditional Dine ceremony with his mother's family and traveling to California for Christmas with his father's side of the family. In 2006 he was introduced to both the Shipibo and Huichol paths of knowledge, and felt an immediate connection. A deep recognition of the validity and importance of the ancient ways of knowing drives him to further bridge the gap between the modern western society and indigenous civilizations. He has over 20 years of experience integrating technology into the world. From digital publishing and design, to wireless mesh communications and traffic guidance he has bridged the gap from technological vision to reality. His role as Board President of CSEE brings a level of integrity and insight into both sides of the Shamanic exchange with his lifelong experience in Shamanic culture, and an adult life of understanding the technology and knowledge of western culture.

MU:Cr2.1.E.Ia Preserve draft compositions and improvisations through standard notation and audio recording.
Establish guidelines for a composition assignment using the characteristics listed in Lesson 1. Determine required length of composition, how many musical traits to include, instrumentation, deadline for completion and notation specifications (hand-written, software or other).
- 16 measures in length.
- Include at least one line for melody, though multiple parts allowed.
- Include 2-4 musical traits characteristic of region (marked in the score).
- Can be written for any instrument or voice type.
- Should students prefer to improvise, they may use a popular piece of the country's origin as a starting point and write an improvised melody to coincide with the piece.
- Must be notated. Hand-written assignments on staff paper or use of musical notation software are both permitted.
- Recording of composition must be submitted. Students may produce audio file on musical software or record themselves singing/playing the piece.
- Hand-written submissions will be turned in at the beginning of class, while online submissions will be sent via email prior to class.
Following the guidelines specified, use your chosen musical characteristics from Lesson 1 to create your own composition. Notate and record your work.
Since the new core music standards were launched in June 2014, music teachers across the country have been identifying ways to teach them in their classrooms. For ensembles that travel, some standards can easily be met through pre-departure preparations, while on tour and even upon return.

I know, I know. I just posted my review of the Fyxation Mesa Pedal. I had no idea Nick from Fyxation would send this over hours later!
"2011 is the year of the pedal here at Fyxation (It's also the year of the 35c, wire bead Session 700, Fyxation Foot Strap and some other things but that's besides the point). We are stoked to introduce the Fyxation Gates pedal. Think of the Mesa pedal as the 8 oz filet mignon and the Gates as the 24 oz prime rib. It's a little bigger, a little less expensive but super tasty.
The Gates pedal will be available early February and will retail for $19.95 (US$). The Gates is a wide platform pedal made out of impact grade nylon, re-buildable loose ball bearings and a Cr-Mo spindle. The Gates will be available in the same colors as our tires and grips – black, white, green, orange and pink. Like the Mesa, the Gates pedal will work with most foot straps/foot retention systems on the market."

About internet security in school
My school district is very worried about students going to porn sites. As a result, the security is so tight that students feel like they can't even use the school's computers. What do you think about this?
Personally, I believe that students learn more and faster when educated rather than restricted. But I believe that these things should be the choice of each individual parent. That generally leaves schools no choice, especially after parents complain. If all students have to log in then you could possibly 'record' access to such sites, using the protective server software, and report it to parents. A better approach might be to make a contract with the students that they are given more privileges than at most schools as long as they don't do certain things. In my own classes, for example, I've always put out the goal of accessing other student's computers over the network to have fun, even to mess up the computer a bit. But I make the deal that they can never touch another's computer directly, only over the network, and that any changes can be undone easily. In 8 years my students have never violated this, but they do have a close relationship with me.

IOSH Managing Safely
No more 'death by PowerPoint'. We know that getting people fully involved, having fun, and learning by doing, is the way to achieve health and safety training success. We want to get delegates really thinking about what they're learning – and having the confidence and enthusiasm to put it into practice when they're back at work.
Who should go on Managing safely?
Managing safely is for managers and supervisors in any sector, and any organisation. It's designed to get managers up to speed on the practical actions they need to take to handle health and safety in their teams.
What will they get out of it?
What they need to know – and are perhaps reluctant to learn about – in a refreshingly informal way. Managing safely won't turn delegates into safety experts – but it will give them the knowledge and tools to tackle the health and safety issues they're responsible for. Importantly, it brings home just why health and safety is such an essential part of their job.
Successful delegates are awarded an IOSH Managing safely certificate.
What will their employer get out of it?
- nationally recognised and respected certificated training for their managers and supervisors
- peace of mind offered by training that's designed and qualitycontrolled by the Chartered body for health and safety professionals
- flexibility – the four day programme can be delivered in slots that suit the business
- two key areas – health and safety and environmental basics – are covered in a single programme

October is said to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
I would not be surprised if all of us know someone who has breast cancer, someone who has lost the battle, and many others who are winning the breast cancer battle. I lost my closest friend a number of years ago to the disease, but have several other friends who are survivors and doing wonderfully. There have been great strides made in preventative measures and in treatment.
Have you done breast examination this month? When was your last physical and Mammogram? Please love your body enough to take care of it.
I had a Mammogram scare that I shared about at another site, click the article title which is "When Mammograms Show Findings - a Breast Exam Story".
Updated 1/29/16
Two supplements specifically for the breasts that may interest you are Breast Assured and Breast Enhance. Please contact me using the comment section for more information about these products, I will not approve private request comments.

French Urges to takt Vaccine against German Measles, amidst Epidemic
Paris, Feb 14 (Prensa Latina) French Health minister, Agnes Buzyn called citizens today to meet with the vaccination campaign against German Measles, amid an epidemic that has already killed one person.
In an interview with the France Inter station, the minister considered urgent that the non vaccinated population go to meet with that medical procedure and urged, particularly parents with minors, not to lose time.
Since November the health authorities recorded a total of 269 cases of the disease in the region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, southeast of the country, which four would have receive intensive care and a young woman of 32 died.
The minister explained that harly 70 percent of the population is covered with the vaccine, which is 'totally insufficient to avoid the emergence of the epidemic.
Likewise, she warned that it is a potentially serious disease and the poorest are most affected in front of the event that the population is not sufficiently covered and disseminate the virus.

Senate health care bill fails to gain support
WASHINGTON — The Senate Republican health care bill is no longer on the table after two GOP senators said they would not support the measure overnight.
Utah's Mike Lee and Jerry Moran of Kansas sealed the measure's doom late Monday when each announced they would vote "no" in an initial, critical vote that had been expected as soon as next week.
Their announcement meant that at least four of the 52 GOP senators were ready to block the measure – two more than Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had to spare in the face of a wall of Democratic opposition.
"Regretfully, it is now apparent that the effort to repeal and immediately replace the failure of Obamacare will not be successful," McConnell said in a late evening statement.
It was the second setback on the issue in three weeks for McConnell.
Now, McConnell said, the Senate would vote on a measure the GOP-run Congress approved in 2015, only to be vetoed by former President Barack Obama – a bill repealing much of Obama's statute, with a two-year delay designed to give lawmakers time to enact a replacement.
President Donald Trump embraced that idea last month after an initial version of McConnell's bill collapsed due under Republican divisions, and did so again late Monday.
"Republicans should just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!" President Trump tweeted.
McConnell's failed bill would have left 22 million uninsured by 2026, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, a number that many Republicans found unpalatable.
But the vetoed 2015 measure would be even worse, the budget office said last January, producing 32 million additional uninsured people by 2026.

He looked like a brainwashed college kid. He had the beard, the blank gaze, the mouth hanging half-open.
My family was vacationing in the Florida Everglades and we'd stopped by the Whole Foods Market to pick up some groceries. After unloading the contents of our cart onto the conveyor belt, we watched the college kid scan our groceries as we engaged in small talk. It was revealed that we were from out of town.
"Where are you from?" he asked.
"Virginia," my mom answered.
He paused thoughtfully and glanced up at us, pondering a moment. "I'm new here; just moved here from New Jersey for college," he said, puzzled. "Hmm, Virginia—is that north of here?"
My mom nodded. I wondered if he knew he was living in the southern-most state in the Union. I also wondered how he had gained admittance to college.
As I mused over the comical situation at the store, I had to remind myself what a terrible job the System has done at "educating" our young people. Here this young man was, in college, and he made a guess (educated guess, to be sure, but a guess nonetheless) that Virginia was north of Florida!
The Establishment educrats have spent the last century transforming our schools from places of learning to institutions of propaganda. I couldn't help but wonder if our checker could quite knowledgeably explain what a great job then-president Obama was doing—making the streets safer through stricter gun-control, lovingly welcoming refugees en masse, ensuring everyone's right to health care, ranting against those horribly racist police departments, firmly taking action to save the world from anthropogenic global warming, standing up for same-sex "marriage" and women's right to "choose", etc., etc. We know government schools brainwashed American students to view Barack Obama as a hero during his magnificent reign.1 And not only that he was a hero, but also that socialism is the panacea for our sick, wretched country.
While they aren't at the moment teaching school children to worship our president, the educrats have by no means backed off on teaching the "glories" of socialism, atheism, and globalism.
"Glories" indeed. Doesn't it make you feel inspired to know you're a descendant of hairy brutes called apes? And isn't it comforting to learn about how America is someday going to be an insignificant member-state in a New World Order?
At least, that is what they would like us and our children to believe. And the controversial Common Core Standards are a major step in the direction of global education.2 Children are being brainwashed by the millions from kindergarten through college. Future generations of America are being steeped in Establishment propaganda from before the time they can even logically combat the fallacies of evolution and socialism.
Please consider homeschooling your children or placing them in an excellent private school like FreedomProject Academy, an on line Judeo-Christian school completely free of Common Core.3 Rescue your children from the System before the Establishment has stolen your children's hearts—possibly for life.
From kindergarten through college, students are ruthlessly transformed into mindless servants of the State. They must be rescued if we (and they) are to enjoy a better America than we ourselves inherited.

A couple of months ago, I was invited to be part of a feminist Zine called Girls Up Front. An exciting new project by community arts movement Ayont Arts (who are based in my hometown of Morpeth, Northumberland), this unique publication aims to promote positive female role models for young women whilst providing a platform for female writers (like me!). They focus on breaking down the barriers placed on women in the workplace, specifically in male dominated roles, through a variety of mediums. They're even working on a podcast and mini documentary series!
The theme of the first edition is simply 'Role Models', so I've decided to examine the effects of life in the digital age on the people we look up to. Does having access to a celebrity's every move via Twitter & Instagram make us see them differently? Are their lives more or less desirable? Are we more likely, perhaps, to look up to a friend who posts funny and relatable tweets than an actor or singer with a completely different life to our own?
If you'd like to read my work (along with loads more excellent pieces from poetry & prose to art and design work), Girls Up Front is available from Etsy for just £3.50 + 60p for delivery. Every penny goes straight back into the project, so it's a fantastic way to support an incredibly positive resource.
You can also get involved on social media! Head on over to the following pages and click like/follow to show your support:
Want to get involved?
If you're a writer or artist yourself, Girls Up Front is also looking for contributors to their second issue. Feel free to e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or ask me for more information if you'd like them to feature your work!

For all the young women out there, whether you're in high school, college, in the workforce, or whether you like to shop or not, this post is for you.
DESIGNER ITEMS: Are They Really Worth Spending Your Money On Them?
Yes. I strongly believe that designer items are worth it. Investing in designer items saves you more money in the long run, than one thinks. You may be wondering, designer items are crazily expensive, how can I afford it? Yes they are! However, I've come to know that buying designer items is better than constantly buying inexpensive but cheap quality items. I absolutely dislike buying cheap quality things. Here are my top five suggestions for anyone who wishes to own any designer item. I believe that these suggestions will help anyone avoid buying junk and save money.
- THINK of designer items as an investment for the future. It is better to own a quality designer piece in your closet than to own a cheap one and not only will the item last longer, it will also give you a boost of confidence in yourself. And your bank account will thank you one day.
- INVEST in pieces that never go out of style, especially the basics of a wardrobe, and also choose colors that are forever timeless, such as black, white, blush, and red. Investing in pieces that do not go out style will add versatility to your wardrobe, and can help you create a personal style.
- Don't be alarm by the PRICE. I think that people don't like spending money on designer items, mainly because of the price. We are all guilty of going to a store, picking up something beautiful, but only to put it back down because of the price. However it is better to splurge a designer piece that has an amazing quality and will last for a longer period of time, than to buy an inexpensive item with a cheap quality.
- INVEST only in pieces that you need in your wardrobe, especially items that you wear often. Doing this will help save money and avoid unnecessary purchases. If you are obssessed with shoes, invest in good pair of shoes, because sometimes, shoes can either add elegance to an outfit or just make the outfit horrible.
- SHOP SMART! I think one of the reasons why some women do not like spending money on a brand-name item is because they do not know how to shop smart. Always look for sales on websites or stores that sell designer items. Shop during seasonal times because more than likely, things go on sale. Look for outlets of designers such as Kate Spade, or Michael Kors, because things are less expensive at outlets. Remember that you do not have to buy brand-name items at full price.

The Powerlessness of Thought
I am so glad that thought isn't the creative power of the universe. Although I often hear people claim that it is.
The reason I'm glad is that my life would have been one of far greater chaos, and likely ended by now, were thought powerfully creative.
That's because I used to think a lot. It was such a stew of negativity, which I strove constantly to counter with "positive" thinking.
This was the experience of Eckhart Tolle, too, which he relates in The Power of Now. His existence was plagued with thought.
I use the word "existence" deliberately, because you can't dignify it with the term "life." It's not really living at all. It's a sort of hell.
Life can be awfully painful when we are caught up in thought, a constant struggle, a whole lot of efforting.
But the morning Eckhart awakened from sleep after the life-altering transformation he went through, he opened his eyes on a completely different world. Even the familiar objects of his bedroom appeared so very different. He was alive for the first time since he was an infant.
As the days, weeks, and months went by, it began to dawn on Eckhart that as part of the great change that had come over him, there had been a huge reduction in thought. He now thought hardly at all.
Awareness, which involves being fully present in our life, had replaced thought.
Awareness, insight, inspiration, attunement, experiencing connection, knowing joy, loving life, feeling peaceful, being calm—these are characteristics of the fully alive person that have nothing to do with thought.
Awareness can be highly creative.
And the wonderful thing is that the creativity just flows from within, spontaneously drawing to it all it needs to accomplish what it seeks to do, without our thinking or "efforting."
The other day, I was listening to someone extolling the power of thought. Of course, they were talking about a certain kind of thought. And it's true that to be a "positive" thinker is preferable to thinking a lot of negative thoughts.
But it occurred to me that the reason so many who practice "positive thinking" don't experience the kind of joyous, peaceful, loving, creative life they long to have is because thought really isn't very powerful at all. It's just a huge hindrance to the real power of creativity.
And as I listened to this person who was extolling thought, it also dawned on me how incredibly mental the whole idea they were expounding was. There was nothing simple, easy, flowing about it at all—even though they were talking all about "flow."
Whew! Was I glad I don't need to do all that mental work anymore.
The idea that thought is the creative power of the universe is hugely popular, not least among people who seek to pursue a spiritual journey. There have been books about "thinking" and how it can change your life. People seem to love systems of thought.
It's really no surprise that the idea thought is powerfully creative would be popular, and that teachers who emphasize "the power of thought" would be sought after.
Of course! The mental aspect of our humanity relishes that kind of thing. It keeps us in the false self of ego, trapped in an endless loop of wasted energy akin to chasing our tail.

The coverage offered by health insurance policies can vary wildly. Some policies will cover part or all of the cost, others will not have a provision for residential treatment centers written in. Since the cost of a residential treatment center is considerable, insurance coverage is important to most people in need.
Insurance coverage
If you have insurance that covers substance abuse addiction recovery and are considering treatment at a residential center, the first thing to do is contact your health insurance company. Ask your insurance representative:
- What kind of treatment is covered? (inpatient, outpatient, detoxification, residential, etc.)
- How much is the deductible?
- How much is the co-pay?
- How many outpatient sessions are covered?
- How many days of inpatient treatment are covered?
- What are annual and lifetime limits on treatment?
- Does my coverage include a comprehensive medical assessment?
Knowing your coverage and its limits before you start treatment is important. The answers to these questions will help you choose what kind of addiction recovery program you can participate in and how long you can afford to remain in the plan. If insurance only covers part of the cost, shop around to find a recovery facility that will work out a payment plan you can afford.
PPO insurance
If you have a preferred provider (PPO), you will pay a lot less if you find a provider in your network. Your insurance company will provide a list of residential treatment facilities that they have agreements with. When you choose a facility that is on the list, the cost to you is usually significantly lower for several reasons. The agreement with the treatment center may include a discount to your insurance company's clients, plus the insurance company will pay a larger percentage of the cost.
Time and followup
The longer time you can spend in a drug rehabilitation center, the more likely you are to successfully recover. Programs can be in-house, where you live inside the facility, typically for 30 to 90 days, or outpatient, where you visit the facility for medical treatment and therapy.
Keep in mind that your insurance will only cover so much time in a residential treatment center. If you go back to addiction, your insurance may not cover a second round of treatment, and there may be a lifetime cap on how much they will spend on treatment. If that is the case, you will have to find ways to support your own recovery.
Once your treatment is over, follow-up programs are recommended to help you stay addiction-free and on track pas cher viagra. Many post-addiction programs, such as Narcotics Anonymous, are low cost or free to attend and depend on volunteers. Staying away from addiction following treatment in a substance abuse program is not always easy, especially when your life doesn't really change. The desire for addictive substances never goes away.
Understanding your insurance coverage is key. Recovery from addiction can be both expensive and time consuming. The time to get started is when you're fully committed to ending addiction.

Today Is The Day My First Novel Is Published
by Salvatore Pane
I've been staring at this screen for about twenty minutes now trying to figure out what exactly to say, how I can possibly explain what I'm feeling. Anyone who knows me in real life knows this is usually not the case, that most times I can't help but fill the room with incessant chatter everywhere I go. My novel, Last Call in the City of Bridges, is being published today. You can buy it here or here. No more pre-ordering. The physical books are being sent out to readers as we speak. I started writing the book back in April 2009, and now you can hold it in your hands. There are so many people to thank, my family, my publishers, my agent, my friends, my girlfriend, and that's really the only feeling I have right now: intense, overpowering gratitude. I wrote about this a little on Twitter last night. I'm just so grateful for having so many amazing and terrible experiences. I'm so lucky to know all of you, and we're all so lucky to have each other in our lives. Each day could be our last but we're all still trying to be better/do better.
I'm just really thankful. Thank you all so much for being part of this.

Our last afternoon in Lisbon was spent exploring more of the city and getting caught in a rainstorm.
We made our way back to the downtown section after spending the morning in the Alfama neighbourhood. We walked around looking for a cafe to stop and have lunch.
There were no shortage of cafes in the area.
I was just taking a photo of the door when it opened.
We had barely finished lunch when the rain started and just didn't stop. People were going for cover in the shops and hotels. The city drains could not handle the amount of rain that was falling. Some of the manholes actually were blown off and there were huge gushers of water.
We found some cover during part of the storm and ended up going into a shop and getting bags to cover our cameras.
Our plan had been to walk back to the hotel but the rain kept on getting worse so four of us grabbed a cab to go back to the hotel.
This shot was taken from inside the cab through the window.
Another shot of the water on the cab window. The driver did an excellent job of maneuvering the cab through the water and traffic to get us back to the hotel safely. It was no easy task.
Well the rain finally let up and I went for a walk around the streets near the hotel.
I ended up taking a few reflection and panning shots.
We went for a night walk and I got a shot of the city at night. We took a tram to a spot overlooking the city and then walked back to the hotel.
I went back to the same spot for sunrise but it was a very foggy morning.
The Santa Casa da Miserlcordia is a Portuguese charity founded in Lisbon in 1498 by the Queen Leonar of Portugal.
This is a photograph of one of Lisbon's major cinema/theatre buildings. It opened in 1931 and was designed by architects Casino Branco and Carlo Florencio Dias. Across the top of the huge facade is a stone frieze depicting stylized actors performing before a film crew and cameras. The cinema closed in 1989 and was unused for many years until it was converted into a 134 room apartment hotel known as the Orion Eden Hotel. The facade was modified by removing the two huge film advertising posters and providing an atrium. Apparently the rooms are pie-shaped to fit inside the former auditorium space.
The pavement in Rossio square is composed of the unique Portuguese tiles and the design is very unusual. The impression given is of an uneven, wavy area. Of course when you are walking the pavement is perfectly even so the effect is very impressive.

Samuel L. Jackson Hints At 'Black Panther 2' Appearance?
Samuel L. Jackson has made it known that he was gutted not to have appeared in Marvel's Black Panther when the superhero film hit theaters earlier this year.
While Samuel's character, Nick Fury, has reprised his role in several leading blockbuster hits, for whatever reason, producers didn't see the need to have him in this installment.
However, during a recent interview with Ellen Degeneres, the famous actor mentioned that he's hopeful that he'll get to show his acting skills in the forthcoming sequel to Black Panther, which is expected to start shooting at the beginning of next year.
See what Samuel L. Jackson had to say below.

Whitney Houston's family "horrified" over sexual claims
Whitney Houston's family are shocked by sexual allegations documented in the new Whitney film.
Director Kevin Macdonald interviewed close family and friends to the late singer, exposing both Whitney Houston and her half brother, Gary Garland, were allegedly molested by their cousin, Dee Dee Warwick, during their childhood.
Whitney Houston's mother, Cissy Houston, released a joint statement with niece Dionne Warwick to People, highlighting that the family first heard of such claims two days prior to the film's release back in May at the Cannes Film Festival.
The statement revealed: "We cannot overstate the shock and horror we feel and the difficulty we have believing that my niece Dee Dee Warwick… molested two of my three children".
"… The idea that [Dee Dee] would have molested my children is overwhelming and for us unfathomable… Neither I, Dionne, nor my son Michael… has ever heard these allegations; we have never heard anything remotely connected to the crimes charged against Dee Dee in the film. How can that be fair to my daughter, to Dee Dee, or to our family?"
Despite having to live most of her life in the public eye, Cissy Houston defends her daughter stating the public has no right to "know every intimate detail of her life beyond what she herself revealed during her lifetime… if she was molested I do not believe she would have wanted it to be revealed for the first time to thousands, maybe millions of people in a film."
Whitney director Macdonald, 50, revealed to Vanity Fair in May that he "managed to persuade Mary Jones, who was Whitney's longtime assistant and probably knew her in her last years more than anybody," to open up about the molestation claims, as featured in the documentary.
"She talks about what Whitney felt and what effect it had on her. So we changed the whole cut at the very last minute. It was kind of a detective story to get that piece of information, which changed how I felt about Whitney and how I felt about the story".
People magazine reported revealing the information was a difficult decision for Mary Jones, "she confided in me and I struggled tremendously deciding whether to share this secret or keep to myself".
Jones goes on further to say, "I deeply love and respect Dionne, Cissy and their entire families, and my intention was never to embarrass anyone in the family, but rather to bring to light that Whitney was subjected to something painful and troubling as a child. And it's something that happens to other innocent kids and goes unspoken too much… I decided to share the story so that people might understand that throughout her entire life Whitney carried this with her, and the weight of it was immense. Whitney was a wonderful woman, an angel, and she did not drag herself down all alone — there was a cause."
Before the film debut, director Macdonald revealed on Good Morning America that Gary Houston "was molested when he was a kid by a woman in the family and he thought also Whitney had been as well."
In Whitney, Gary Houston, 60, alleges Dee Dee Warwick molested him when he was 7 to 9 years old. He had no prior knowledge of Whitney's alleged abuse leading up to the film's release.
Gary further revealed in an interview on Good Morning America, "I was 8 [or] 9 years old and I was being fondled with from time to time. It was a situation I didn't understand. I knew it was abnormal."
Cissy Houston and Dionne Warwick concluded their joint statement: "After people have seen the film they will draw their own conclusions and we are not trying to change that. We just want people to know there is another side. While the filmmakers certainly had the legal right to make this film, I wonder at the moral right."
No charges were ever filed against Dee Dee Warwick.
Dee Dee Warwick passed away in 2008. The Grammy-nominated soul singer sang backup vocals for stars including Aretha Franklin. Dee Dee Warwick is the sister of Dionne Warwick, and both are nieces of Cissy Houston, Whitney's mother.
Whitney Houston, who was 18 years younger than Dee Dee Warwick, died in February 2012 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel from drowning and the effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use.
Whitney is now out in theatres.

Why Does Tom Cruise Do His Own Stunts?
It's a fair question. Why does Tom Cruise do his own stunts?
In the trailer below there are some sneak peeks of the action in the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Fallout and what is supposed to amaze us is that the star is putting his own life and limb at risk by actually being in the shots.
"Look!" (we're supposed to think) "That's really him jumping off a skyscraper and latching on to the the rotors of a Huey! Wow. That's just dumb…"
Doesn't he know that there are hundreds of stuntmen who would literally die for the job?
And plenty who already have…
That's the point. A-List stars don't even have to lift a cup of coffee on camera. There's always a "stunt hand" crew member hanging around looking for work. Let's not even get started on the butt doubles…
So, there has to be an angle to the strategy of conditioning an audience to expect to see Tom Cruise in the same kind of danger his character is facing.
Only, he kinda isn't.
The people involved in setting up these, admittedly, eye-popping and nerve pulsing action sequences have made it all as "safe" as possible. But, one can only assume they're even more elaborate and idiot-proof (hmmm…) because THE STAR OF THE MOVIE IS IN THEM!!!
Truth be told, although we can see it really is Tom, there's no real chance to make this an acting chop. He's always wearing the same face: "Outside I'm calm. Inside, I'm like, "Oh, Shhhhhhiii…!)"
The more likely reason behind this insane tactic is to make up for Tom Cruise's legendary lack of, shall we say, dramatic skills?
He's not known for a particularly wide range…
And, he's getting a bit jowly, let's face it.
It's hard to criticize one of the biggest and most popular movie stars in history, but…
Hey! Tom Cruise!
Time to get a stuntman…
"BraDiCaprio" Release IG Photo of New Film
"BraDiCaprio" are finally going public.
Wait. What?
The new conjunction, coined here for the first time (you're welcome) denotes the First Look image release on Instagram from the set of Quentin Tarantino's new movie, "Once Upon A Time In America" and gives some insight into this exciting, new project.
Rumors are that the story revolves around the insane murders of Sharon Tate and friends at a Hollywood mansion in the "Summer of Love" 1969.
While all the Hippies were handing out daisies, Charles Manson was orchestrating the foment of civil war by directing his tribe to murder random rich people in exclusive LA enclaves.
The truth ended up being he wanted revenge for having been denied a recording contract by a producer who once lived in the house then rented by Roman Polanski's pregnant wife.
The real life story has been rendered in a number of TV shows, films and documentaries. But it's more than likely that Quentin Tarantino will spin it in his own inimitable fashion.
The power trio have all worked together before. But this is the first time BraDiCaprio will appear on-screen together.
And, it's probable that Tarantino will get some face time somewhere in the movie, as he's got a reputation for stinking things up in front of the camera instead of quietly toiling behind it.
In the end what truly counts is the script, and, by all reports, this is just the latest masterpiece from the mind of, arguably, the greatest screenwriter in the history of cinema.
By the looks of it, they seem to be getting it right already. The film is set for release in August, 2019.
That makes it some kind of gruesome 50th anniversary memorial for one of the most horrific crimes perpetrated against innocent people ever enacted, reported or portrayed.
In other words, it's right up Quentin Tarantino's alley…

FindYourStampsValue.com hurries to inform our readers about a great scandal caused by the stamp issued by the Central African Republic. A transgender entertainer who is a dead-ringer for Marilyn Monroe is threatening legal action against the Post for issuing stamps using her image impersonating the late Hollywood star.
Let's get acquainted with the details of this amazing story together!
The Central African Republic has a contract with stamp agency Stamperija, which produced stamps featuring a range of famous people including the late Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. But New York artist Jimmy James was shocked to discover one of the stamps, issued in 2014, is actually based on a famous picture of him impersonating Marilyn.
The photo of 'Marilyn' on the stamp is actually from a 1991 advert that James took part in for the brand L.A. Eyeworks. The artist is now threatening legal action if he is not compensated.
James' attorney Mark Jay Heller told the New York Post: "Although the recognition and inclusion of [James] in this collection of stamps is appreciated… the publisher has not only failed and omitted to secure [consent] but has also failed to compensate him.
"Hopefully, this discriminatory conduct will be atoned for and redressed by immediately compensating Jimmy James in response to our legal demand seeking reasonable remuneration."
The stamp appears to have been produced by stamp agency Stamperija under a contract with the nation. The agency has attempted to remove the picture of the stamps from their website, but PinkNews was able to obtain an archived copy.
It's not the first time such a mix-up has been made.
Jimmy James explained to HuffPo last year: "I remember threats of lawsuits from the lawyers of the Marilyn Monroe estate over the L.A. Eyeworks ad I did; I was devastated by that. The iconic image had to be stricken from the records and hidden away so that no one would ever see it… twenty two years later due to the Internet, the image was set free.
"Now it's probably one of the most mistaken identity photos that people think is Marilyn herself.
"People are getting tattoos of it thinking it's Marilyn – but it's me! Kinda funny, but kinda not. That era [of impersonating Marilyn] is over for me." Sourced by pinknews.co.uk

By now, the SingStar formula should be pretty standard for PlayStation gamers out there. You buy a SingStar disc along with some microphones and then you get to belt out tunes karaoke-style in your living room. You can try to fill in pitch and timing bars with your voice to earn points, but most of the time it's just about rocking the casbah and getting your friends to have some fun. Layered on top of that is a robust online suite that allows you to upload performances, rate other people's work, and join clubs.
Aside from a minor update here and there, that's been the same deal since the original SingStar launched on the PS3 in 2008 -- and even that was very similar to the franchise that was all over the PS2. However, SingStar Dance takes the PlayStation Move and tosses it into the mix. Now, the 30 songs on this disc also have a dance routine to follow along with and rack up points. As always, the singing's fun, but this addition of PlayStation Move is just a mess of flailing arms.
I'm not a dance hater or against the casual dance games market that's popped up in recent years, but this mash-up just doesn't lend itself to a pick-up and play party. For each song, there's a darkened dancer in the right corner, and he or she is just rocking out. They're pulling off moves, and you're expected to follow along.
The trouble is -- well, there are a lot of troubles. For starters, you have no idea what's coming on the dance moves front unless you've seen the routine before. Whenever I'd start a song, the first half of the track was me failing and having no idea what to do -- on top of that, the game doesn't tell you what to do in order to correct your mistakes. That wouldn't be so bad if this was a solo experience where I was chasing a career and doing the same tracks over and over, but SingStar is a party franchise. When I get friends together, they don't want to hear the same song over and over again, so it's not like people are going to have the chance to get a routine down on the spot.
Plus, if you have new players over, the dancing sections keep the singing scoring system that proclaims you "awful" and so on when you're screwing up. That's not exactly a confidence builder. Of course, the game is just tracking one Move controller, so it's easy to do whatever the hell you want and get a score that's sometimes good and sometimes terrible -- the scoring isn't very scientific, which is sure to frustrate the folks who actually try to do the routines.
Adding to the letdown is that we now live in a post-Dance Central world. That Kinect title stacks moves on the screen so that you have an idea of what's coming next and it also lets you slow songs down in practice mode so that you can nail routines. SingStar Dance does neither of those things -- it's trial by fire. The onscreen dancer doesn't hold a Move controller, so it's easy to become confused, and you need a fair amount of space to play (especially if you're doing the two singers and two dancers) as the darkened dancer covers up a fair share of the screen. There are plenty of options for how you play -- sing alone, sing and dance, just dance, etc. -- but whenever the Move controller gets involved, you'll be just shaking it all over the place.
Perhaps the saddest part of all this is that SingStar Dance actually packs a pretty good song list to karaoke to. You're getting *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," Soulja Boy's "Crank That" and "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls. Some of these tracks are recycled if you have SingStars of the past, but it's still a solid set list.
Keep in mind, at the moment, only the 30 songs on this disc have dance functionality. Your old songs don't get dance moves if you buy PlayStation Move.
The Verdict
If you're just buying this for the tracks, you're fine. I like the set list and the SingStar online features are cool. Trouble is, this game isn't just tracks -- SingStar Dance is a tacked-on PlayStation Move option that does nothing to further the fledging control scheme. Sure, you'll have fun and laugh as your friends make fools of themselves, but that's just because they're waving their arms like crazy and acting foolish; it's not because the system works.

Hi there! I hope you are enjoying the Sleep, Baby, Sleep site! If you have already looked through the site, and are still having trouble getting your baby to sleep, then perhaps an individual email consultation would be best. Having a baby sleep consultant guide you and answer all of your questions, will ensure that your baby is getting the sleep that he/she needs. The consultations and sleep plans are always completely personalized for your baby's unique situation. I believe that there's no "one size fits all" advice, when it comes to helping a baby sleep. That is why I became a sleep consultant and offer personal consultations. When my baby wasn't sleeping, despite the massive amount of information on the web, there was nowhere I could turn that would provide guidance based on my baby's specific situation. As a baby sleep consultant I take into consideration your baby's age, sleep history, temperament, and individual circumstances. In other words, I get to know you and your baby before I give you any advice.
Here's what Sleep, Baby, Sleep can help you work on:
How does a consultation work?
Upon payment of your chosen package, you will receive a welcome email from me with an assessment form. You can tell me all about your baby and his/her sleep problems, and I will email you back the same day. I will discuss with you the reasons I think your baby is not sleeping and outline a step by step plan, so that you and your family can start enjoying some more Zzz's right away. In addition to your plan you will receive charts that will help guide you now and in the future, when your baby's sleep requirements change. You will also receive a "survival guide" for bumps in the road such as regressions, illness, travel, separation anxiety and teething, so that you know exactly how to handle these situations when they come up.
I am a baby and toddler sleep consultant, so I primarily work with children ages newborn to 4 years old. Below are my sleep packages. Keep in mind that for the individual email packages, I don't charge for emails you send to me. I also never charge for clarifications. If I need to ask more questions so I can strategize a plan, that clarification email does not count towards your package. Neither do emails where I high five you, for a job well done! The prices are listed in USD, but I work with clients all over the world so any currency can be used for payment. Paypal will automatically convert it.
The 2 Week Bundle Package. This package is a good fit for all ages, newborn to toddlers. I will create a customized sleep plan based on your baby's unique situation, and I will work with you closely to implement the plan and to ensure that you are successful. We will discuss each night in detail, and I will walk you through the entire process. We will also have the opportunity to change the strategy if it's not working, or if variables come up. In addition to our daily check-in, you can email or text me me as often as you need to within your subscription, and ask me questions as they come up. If you have a question or are not sure what to do at nap or bedtime, I will only be an email or text away to walk you through it. I work long hours, so don't worry communication is never an issue, not even with my international clients. We can start right away, or you can choose a start date if there is a week that is more convenient for you. Parents typically purchase this package to eliminate bad sleep habits and to teach their baby to fall asleep on their own, so that baby can start sleeping through the night. And so the parents can start enjoying some more sleep too! This two week bundle package includes:
Your 2 week subscription begins on the day you receive the customized sleep plan, or your chosen start date.
The Unlimited 3 Week Package. This package is a great option for parents that want a slow, gradual, and gentle process, and don't mind waiting to achieve results. Perhaps you want to work on crib transition before working on sleep training. Or maybe you want to slowly end co-sleeping, and start getting your baby to sleep in his/her own sleep space. Some of these situations require a slow and gentle approach if you would like to minimize tears. If you want to gradually work on multiple areas of your child's sleep, or just want to take things slowly, this package is a great option. The Unlimited 3 week Package includes:
Your 3 week subscription begins on the day you receive the customized sleep plan, or your chosen start date.
The Unlimited 2 Week Package. As with the other packages you will receive a personalized sleep plan that is created based on your baby's age, temperament, sleep history and other important factors, that I will collect from you on an assessment form, and that we will discuss together. With this package you will have two weeks of unlimited email support and guidance through the process of helping your baby to sleep well. You also have the option to add-on follow up emails with this package for future use. The follow up emails never expire. The Unlimited 2 Week Package includes:
Your 2 week subscription begins on the day you receive the customized sleep plan, or your chosen date.
The Unlimited 7 Day Package. You will receive a personalized sleep plan specific for your baby, and 7 days of unlimited email support. You also have the option to add-on follow up emails with this package.
Your 7 day subscription begins on the day you receive the customized sleep plan, or your chosen date.
The 3 Email Package. This package includes a customized sleep plan, created specifically for your baby. In addition to the sleep plan you will get two additional follow-up emails for questions, support, or to fine tune your sleep plan. You will also receive a survival guide for bumps in the road. You can use your 3 email subscription at any time, there is no expiration date.
The Chat Package. This is a basic chat session package and is appropriate for parents that don't require that much help, but still have a few issues they are struggling with. Maybe your baby has already been sleeping through the night, but now something has changed. Perhaps you have done a lot of research, but just don't know how to piece it all together. All of your questions will be answered in this 45 minute online chat session. Upon payment you will be given a link to a chat room, where you can get all of your questions answered by yours truly. After the chat a transcript of our conversation will be emailed to you so that you can have for reference. Email me for the date and time you have in mind, and we can get started. If you need help right away, I am usually available the same day.
My Guarantee
I am so confident I can help you, that your purchase is backed by a 30 day 100% satisfaction guarantee. If at any point within the 30 days you are not satisfied with the results of my consultation services, you can request a refund. You will get a full refund of your consultation, no questions asked. It's that simple! I also have a 98% success rate so you can purchase with confidence.
Not sure if purchasing a consultation package or hiring a baby sleep consultant would be a good fit for your family? Email Me so we can decide together.
