State's SIM website
- Project total cost of care savings of $126.6 million over the course of the SIM program, with annual savings of $85 million thereafter to help sustain Colorado's model. (p.1)
- A Health Transformation Investment Fund will provide early incentives to both payers and providers as they make the necessary changes toward integrating behavioral health and primary care, both financially and clinically. (p.18)
- Colorado proposes to use one-third of actuarially projected savings to support ongoing activities related to the project. We also anticipate that changes in payment models will become permanent and ongoing after the grant period. (p.19)
- Aligning provider payment with financial outcomes (total net reduction in healthcare costs) is a key element of our proposal. Goal is by 2019 (fourth year of the SIM grant), payers serving a majority of Coloradans will reimburse practices for integrated physical health and behavioral health services in shared risk and savings programs. Furthermore, a significant number of integrated practices will receive a global or capitated payment for comprehensive primary care. (p.19)
- Colorado has received firm commitments from six private payers to:
-Continue care coordination payments;
-Move to shared savings opportunities;
-Move to prospective, non-volume payments;
-Use the SIM minimum data set; and
-Support the aggregation of clinical and claims data.
- The cornerstone of this payment reform glide path is the readiness and ability of primary care practices to move from a fee for service environment. This approach contemplates a gradual transition to new payment models that allows for long-term adaptation, rather than an immediate switch that could result in market instability. (p.25)
- Example of reforms (p.33) and descriptions of phases. (p.28-29)
- Grant Budget and Narrative (p. 75)
- Colorado's SIM most closely resembles the PCMH payment model, rather than the ACO model, and aligns with the CPCi approach to payment reform. (p. 22-25)

- Attribute all patients to primary care physicians (PCPs) and incentivize PCPs to address specific measures (obesity screening, smoking, diabetes control) as well as total cost, Delaware's payers are shifting incentives to support population health. (p. 3)
- Transition to value-based payment models that support integrated care delivery - create flexibility for many different types of provider organizations to participate in new models, allowing providers to innovate how they integrate with organizations focused on improving population health. (p.7-8, 14)
- Population Health and Common Provider scorecards – align measures so that providers and community organizations have common areas of focus (p. 8); align measures across payers (p. 18)
- All payers introduce one Pay for Value (P4V, with bonus tied to quality and utilization management for a panel of patients) and one Total Cost of Care (TCC, with shared savings linked to quality and total cost management for panel of patients) payment model option to eligible PCPs (p. 17-18)
IdahoClick Here for Full State Plan
State's SIM website
- Align payment mechanisms across payers to transform payment methodology from volume to value. Idaho's 3 largest commercial insurers in the State will participate in the model: Blue Cross of Idaho, Regence BlueShield, and PacificSource. Together, these three payers account for approximately 92% of the individual market, 95% of the small group market, and 97% of the large group market. (p. 6)
- Financial analysis indicates that Idaho's healthcare system costs will be reduced by $89M over 3 years through new public and private payment methodologies that incentivize providers to focus on appropriateness of services, improved quality of care and outcomes rather than volume of service. (p. 7)
- Idaho projects a ROI for all populations of 197% for five years. (p. 7)
- Idaho's Model Test both drives and supports the transformation to the new delivery system by utilizing grant funding to support start-up costs for PCMH transformation, and to incentivize higher levels of PCMH recognition. Payer-provided PMPMs and shared savings payments will cover the practice costs associated with ongoing care coordination and patient management, as well as the costs of collecting quality and performance measures. (p. 7-8)
- The new payment model components will include Per Member Per Month (PMPMs) payments to support care coordination and other PCMH functions, total cost of care shared savings arrangements, and quality incentives. (p. 9)
- PCMH Practice Transformation Incentives & PCMH National Recognition Incentives. (more details p. 10-11)
IowaClick Here for Full State Plan
State's SIM website
- Iowa has expanded Medicaid through the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan (IHAWP), which began on January 1, 2014, and provides comprehensive health care coverage to low-income, uninsured Iowans ages 19 to 64.8 Part of the IHAWP is the Healthy Behaviors Program, which emerged as a SIM concept during the SIM Design and incentivizes all IHAWP members to work with providers to be healthy and stay healthy. Members who achieve the Healthy Behaviors requirements will not be responsible for a monthly premium. Medicaid has designed payment levers for both the primary care provider and the IHAWP ACOs that align with the member healthy behaviors. (p. 4).
- Development of multi-payer ACOs is a key driver of system transformation. Iowa's delivery system is characterized by a relatively small number of large entities that already work together, including several large health systems that deliver the majority of acute care services and employ more than half of the primary care physicians. This multi-payer foundation creates a powerful opportunity to align accountable pay-ment structures to enhance providers' ability to achieve critical mass and catalyze transformation. (p. 8-10)
- Currently, one commercial payer is committed to participating in this payment model, Wellmark, which accounts for 41% of the Iowans who are covered by commercial insurance. (p. 14)
- A value-based payment model closely aligned with Wellmark and similar to Medicare is a key strategy in Iowa's SIM. See table with keey components of payment structure in full Medicaid ACO (p.14). The State is also open to testing payment reform pilots such as partial and full capitations for ACOs that prove effective at transforming them into a value-based entity. (p. 15)
- IME, in conjunction with Wellmark, will work with Treo Solutions to develop, simulate, and test the appropriate and most effective way to embed incentives that will further drive ACOs to invest in the required tools, capability, and capacity to address SDH without increasing risk avoidance. (p. 17)
- For the state-wide Medicaid ACO strategy laid out in this proposal, DHS intends to submit a Payment Methodology State Plan Amendment (SPA) to CMS and move Medicaid into a 1915(b) waiver for choice and PCP assignment. In addition, the State will leverage ACO con-tracts to expand the ACOs into a community setting with a population health focus (p. 26).

- The first Population Health Plan vendor will be responsible for the overall development of the plan, working with the Healthy Rhode Island Steering Committee to assess the overall health of the state and identify measurable goals, objectives and interventions. This vendor will also be tasked with monitoring and evaluating our progress in meeting those goals. We have allocated $750,000 for this work.(p. 4)
- We will hire a second vendor who will be responsible for ensuring our Population Health Plan explicitly recognizes the behavioral health needs of our residents. This vendor will also assist in the implementation of the transformation of our behavioral health system, in concert with our overall healthcare delivery transformation. We have allocated $750,000 for this work. (p. 5)
- This grant proposal seeks funding in two areas to support the transformation of our health care delivery system. The first is through explicit funding for new models of care or enhancements to existing models that are already alternatives to a volume-based delivery of care. We have allocated $4.6 million towards this effort. We are also proposing to use $6.8 million to support our Health Information Infrastructure. (p. 7)

- Integrated delivery systems will be evaluated on both their current state of progress toward, and their ability to achieve during the Model Test period, the following characteristics: Financial plan: costs for target population reduced to equal/exceed pilot funding; Multi-payer: direct contract with the State, commercial plans and Medicare; and Provider incentives: Distributes outcomes-based payments, rewards efficiency. (p. 8)
- By the end of 2016, the integrated delivery networks developed through participation in the Pilots, will have begun covering Medicare enrollees and be ready to begin contracting with commercial health plans. Illinois' Model is designed to ensure that patients moving between Medicaid and commercial coverage experience minimal disruptions in care and have access to the same effective, highly integrated delivery networks regardless of their health insurance coverage. (p. 10)
- Tested payment reforms will include: Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) payments; Bundled payments, including case rates, fee-for-service (FFS) with risk-sharing, and episode payments; Risk and gain-sharing arrangements; Service agreements aligning incentives for specialty and primary care physicians; 11 Quality bonuses or other performance incentives; and Coverage of non-medical services. This may include bonuses for stable housing, removing allergens from the home of an asthmatic person or helping individuals with disabilities prepare for employment. (p. 11)

- Payments to providers and/or service vendors are tied to value and performance that lead to better controlled costs. (p. 5)
- DHCFP is continuing to collaborate with payer and health care systems across the state. This work effort will identify additional populations that may be addressed by this initiative. Based on an initial assessment of the potential payer system collaboration, we have identified the potential population target groups as the following: Medicaid, CHIP, Indian Health Services (IHS), Public Employees Benefit Plan (PEBP), and the Culinary Unions Self-Funded Plan. This target population includes approximately 700,781 beneficiaries, or 25 percent of the State's population. Nevada is encouraging commercial plans to participate as well and will continue toward that goal. At this time, we are not considering Medicare population participation, but we are open to reconsidering if desired by CMS. (p. 8)

- Table 1 (p. 2) illustrates the distribution of two subgroups of the WV population that experience multiple chronic conditions and have the greatest impact on the health care system. Tier 1 targets the highest cost beneficiaries; Tier 2 is comprised of the larger segment of the respective coverage groups with chronic conditions or other "modifiable" conditions that result in avoidable costs or utilization of health care services. The target of this model design is to focus on these tiers as high cost and impactable populations and then generalize to a broader patient population. (p. 2)
- The design team will continue to work with representatives of Medicaid, CHIP, Public Employee Insurance and participating commercial and managed care payers through the Collaborative and other initiatives to coordinate the alignment of payment models with the health care transformation plan. Our intention is to encourage the phased progression from the current fee-for-service and cost-based reimbursement model to a value-based compensation arrangement. (p. 8)
- The target of the model design is to start with high cost and impactable populations based upon claims analysis and then spread to a broader patient population. This is consistent with the approach taken by the WV Medicaid program in launching the health homes project and by Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA) and Highmark WV in implementing and incentivizing PCMH models.

- The DHS and the SVC LC will engage providers, payers, purchasers, and consumers across the state to assess priorities for payment models to support the targets for care delivery transformation identified under the process described in § (2). Wisconsin will build on existing payment models and experiments in the state (e.g., public designation of centers of value, pay-for-performance, expansion of risk-based contracting, bundled payments for acute procedures, reference pricing, Medicare and private sector accountable care organizations [ACOs]). Wisconsin's strategy will be to choose highest priority areas of care delivery redesign (described in § 2), and develop payment strategies to support sustainable, cost-effective, equitable improvements in care. Wisconsin will seek to align with ongoing and emerging Medicare value-based payment strategies to ensure that the state has a pathway to reach the target of 80% of payments from all payers in value-based alternatives to fee-for-service. (p. 6-7)
- Wisconsin has ensured access to coverage for all residents through a waiver covering childless adults up to 100% FPL, with those above 100% FPL receiving care in the federal Health Insurance Marketplace. Medicaid now covers approximately 17% of the state's population. Stakeholders participating in the SVC touch the preponderance of providers and members across the state to reach the target of 80% of payments through value-based arrangements. (p. 7)
- Examples of models that will be reviewed include tying payments to outcomes (value-based payments), examining Medicaid health home payment models, and using incentive payments to promote the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchange (HIE) for providers not eligible for meaningful use payments and/or implementation of best practices. (p. 8)

When building a wardrobe, I always advise men to take a step back and consider the details before simply diving in. One good way to start this process with solid colour shirts is through texture.
While it is no surprise that the recommendations most voiced when getting started with dress shirts hinges on the colours white and light blue (sky blue), not enough attention is paid to the weave/texture which can subtly enhance your ensemble without over complicating things in the way that pattern can.
Although far from exhaustive, give a few moments of thought to the following more readily available fabric choices the next time a new shirt is needed and you will be surprised at the positive effect this consideration can make.

Audentes is developing AT307 for the treatment of CASQ2-related Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia.
CASQ2-related Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the CASQ2 gene. CASQ2 encodes a protein called calsequestrin 2, which plays a key role in the physiology of calcium release in cardiac muscle cells, and which is required to maintain normal heart rhythm.
Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPVT) is characterized by abnormal ventricular heartbeats (arrhythmias) that can cause dizziness and fainting and that can progress to cardiac arrest and sudden death. These arrhythmias are precipitated by exercise or stress, which place considerable limitations on activities of daily living, and introduce ongoing anxiety about the risk of arrhythmia into the lives of patients and their caregivers. If suspected by the treating physician, CPVT can be diagnosed by exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) testing, with confirmation of the specific gene defect through genetic testing. It is estimated that more than 6,000 people globally have CPVT caused by a mutation in CASQ2. There are additional types of CPVT caused by other gene mutations. Current treatments for ventricular tachycardia are considered inadequate for CASQ2-CPVT and there are no therapies currently approved specifically for the treatment of this disease.
The goal of adeno-associated virus-CASQ2 gene therapy for CPVT is long-term expression of calsequestrin 2 in cardiac muscle cells. By restoring CASQ2 protein levels, the heart is able to maintain a normal heartbeat rhythm. Results from a pre-clinical study of a single administration of adeno-associated virus-CASQ2 gene therapy in the R33Q knock-in mouse model of CASQ2-CPVT showed that transduction of the gene was effective, that levels of CASQ2 and certain associated proteins were restored to normal, that normal protein interactions and cellular architectures were recovered, and that the number of arrhythmic episodes was greatly reduced (Denegri et. al., Circulation, 2014). Favorable effects of adeno-associated virus-CASQ2 were demonstrated in both newborn and adult R33Q knock-in mice.
Researchers have also demonstrated that a single injection of the CASQ2 gene was sufficient to reverse the clinical characteristics of CASQ2-CPVT in a knock-out mouse model with no CASQ2 production of its own (Denegri et al, Circulation Research, 2012, Vol 110, Issue 5, Pages 663–668).
Together, these studies showed that a single adeno-associated virus-mediated transfer of the CASQ2 gene can reverse the effects of either absent or dysfunctional CASQ2 protein in mouse models of CASQ2-CPVT.

gahden pahty/fire drill/pickanic basket gems
such was the scene at work today. (it's okay; you can be jealous of my sweet work digs - they are even cooler on the inside.)
after determining that none of the firemen entering the building were sufficiently luscious to elicit comment, i left stata and took a little walk. while i was outside i reflected on what gorgeous weather it is: finally sunny but slightly crisp, perfect for spending quality time in the sun.
that's why, when i stopped loafing in the community garden and came back to my desk, i was elated to discover vintage picnic, an adorable and affordable blast from the past. they carry everything from tea sets and vintage pyrex on up to luggage and prefab picnic baskets. prices are kept low in part by the fact that the site is based in canada (run by roller derby maven laura hardie, who sews the picnic basket linings and selects all the utensils by hand!) it's also worth the extra time to read her descriptions of each piece; they're sweet and thorough and (nearly) as stream of consciousness as mine.
i'm not sure if you know, but i lived in ohio until i was eight years old. the sweet simplicity of some old school pyrex in a juicy 1970s palette makes my secretly midwestern heart sing. add in the idea of packing all of it up with delicious fresh food and dallying by the charles (or, better, a small creek somewhere to the west) and it's quivering like a lamb's tail with joy. check out some of their more wonderful finds below, and get shopping! (you may have to fight me off for some pieces, though: they are so wonderfully priced that my broke ass is tempted to buy the lot ;)
Primary Picnic for Two - $30.00
Blue Flashlight - $5.00
Citrus Picnic Basket for 4 - $40.00
Blue Melmac Tea Set - $15.00

Responding to on-line postings should not be your only job search strategy however it ought to definitely be part of your technique. Each year 1000's of employers put up over 10,000 opportunities for York College college students and new graduates. It is a record of the highest sources of job postings online, roughly so as of the number of job postings accessible. Search engine evaluators run searches for specific merchandise and report what they find. There are various web sites the place yow will discover on-line writing jobs and few of them are Fiverr, Elance, and so forth.
It lets you save firms or job advertisements, adapt the present utility standing, and add notes to ongoing applications. Search to seek out the newest half time job vacancies, plus all the help and recommendation you want. The federal government jobs these days guarantee very rewarding profession, along with the job safety and other advantages.
Most resumes that applicants go do not comprise the vital data which they are searching for, and isn't an excellent foundation for hiring an employee. However we will refer some good home based job assets to our registered members. Financial institution jobs however are the most typical authorities jobs on the territory of India. The instructors at the Faculty of On-line and Persevering with Education (COCE) present excessive-quality tutorial experiences and support students as they work toward their academic objectives.
One from the main disadvantages with the usual strategy is you'll probably should look for a lot of job job interviews prior to getting one. Right here you find placement papers through which you can put together for the federal government jobs.
Recruiters locate people based on a sure skill set of the job they need to fill," explains recruiting advisor Matt Millunchick. They're actually cutting tremendous prices by finding people to do their work from home as a substitute of hiring and maintaining workers.

Professor Will Alsop OBE, Founding Director of aLL Design, has been commissioned to conceive an exemplary mixed-use design for regeneration at Capital Interchange Way.
The site sits adjacent to the consented Brentford Community Stadium scheme and will form part of the regeneration of the Golden Mile.
The evolving plans seek to transform and regenerate the site with a mixed use development, incorporating a new bus depot, new homes, a car showroom, office space, a media hub and raised landscaped public park space.
The new bus depot would replace Metroline's current facilities at Commerce Road, Brentford, and could facilitate provision of a new school at the Brentford Lock site.
Will Alsop said: "Hounslow is an exciting area, with the Golden Mile area a key gateway into London; innovative and quality design is evolving in the Borough and I am delighted to be exploring ideas for the site at Capital Interchange Way.
"aLL Design is currently working on ideas for a mixed-use project, to rejuvenate this run down site near the M4. Our ethos is simple – to 'make life better'. We're looking forward to working with Hounslow Council, together with the local community, to enhance environment and well-being."
Cllr Steve Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council, said: "We have an ambitious vision for a strategic regeneration of the Golden Mile, making it fit for 21st Century working and living. We welcome high-profile architects like Will Alsop bringing forward imaginative design and strong investment in our borough."
A spokesman for Metroline said: "At Metroline we are proud to be serving one of the world's busiest cities. Moving to this state of the art facility at Capital Interchange Way is an exciting opportunity, and will help us deliver ever better bus services for Hounslow and London."
It is envisaged that the project will bring new jobs, homes and a multimillion pound investment to the borough, regenerating a key site on the Golden Mile of the Great West Road.
Public Exhibitions of the evolving proposals will be held this autumn at the London Museum of Water and Steam between 5pm and 8:30pm on Thursday 29 October and Monday 2 November. An information website is live at www.CIWconsultation.com

We're not dreaming...
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles ) | Dec 08, 2003
...of a white Christmas.
Some parts of Massachusetts got 3 feet of snow this weekend; the whole state is covered by at least a foot. It was the biggest December storm on record.
Last year, we set a record for snowfall over the course of a winter. We're ahead of that pace now.
Oh, sorry; did I interrupt? What were you saying about global warming?

Greed as well as some natural factors are to blame for global warming. As long as we continue to ignore that greed is the main factor, and continue to find ways of contributing to greed in our own little way in everyday living, the polar caps will continue to melt, and future generations will be left with a world that more closely resembles a world ruled by the devil than the love of God. What a price for future children to pay and have to live because of our own satisfactions !

The real environmentalists indicate that the current warming started in the 1850s. It's part of the cycle of cooling and warming the planet goes through. You couldn't prove it by eastern Pennslyvania either. Our storms are starting earlier each year, we have more storms and the weather is colder. I could do with some warming right now.

I think some global warming/climate change proponents do, in fact, argue that the melting over the polar ice caps will lead to cooler temperatures in some places, particularly coastal regions that will be deprived of warming ocean currents. In addition, one consistent component of GW alarmists' predictions is increasingly volatile weather. Of course, as you know, it is not really a data point of any significance either way. Still had to shovel an awful lot of it, though.

Heh, heh - just so, Phil. What is indicative in the whole 'global warming' scenario is that some of the people advancing this view are the same ones who, 30 years ago, solemnly told us we were in for a new Ice Age! Now if metereologists can't even get tomorrow's local weather right, why should we give any credence to 'experts' who seek to predict the world's climate? As with weathermen, while there may be a 40% chance of rain or a 50% chance of snow - there is a 99% chance they're wrong...!

"In 1988, the first year for which data are available, there were fewer than 14,000 patients waiting for a kidney transplant and about 7,000 deceased-donor kidneys. Today, the waiting list has grown more than fivefold — an increase fueled partly by higher rates of diabetes — but the number of deceased-donor kidneys has only inched up. "
There is a serious kidney shortage in the U.S. Any economist can tell you that shortages generally occur from either a natural disaster or when the government imposes a below market price on a commodity. In this case, the government has said that one can not sell organs; thus the market price for a kidney is set to zero. Could a market for kidneys solve this problem?
The Wall Street Journal has a pair of interesting articles ("Kidney Shortage…" and "A Market for Kidneys?") on whether or not we should have a kidney market. Julio Elias of the University of Buffalo comes out in favor while Alvin Roth of Harvard University is against. Dr. Elias makes a case based on economic theory:
"The current system of live organ transplants resembles an autarkic economy in which patients in need of an organ transplant are constrained to the organs available in the pool of friends and relatives. The kidney exchange system developed by Al and others is a barter system, and clearly will provide an improvement over the current system.
But a general conclusion of economics is that barter is an inferior system when compared to a money system, since barter requires the coincidence of wants. With the use of computers, and a national registry, multilateral barter is a good possibility, but still less efficient than using general purchasing power; i.e., a market. The main disadvantages of the kidney exchange system are the limitations that only kidneys from relatives and friends can be used and that the exchange must happen at the same time. A market-based exchange does not have such serious limitations."
Dr. Roth believes that creating a market is politically infeasible and socially repugnant. Although he does not reject the merits of an organ market, he does say that more practical steps–such as an organ exchange or making all individuals organ donors upon death unless they explicitly opt out–will currently be more politically feasible.
"There would be more live-donor transplants if everyone who wanted to donate a kidney to someone could do so, but a healthy person's kidney is often incompatible with his or her intended donor. So, one way economists have helped is in helping organize kidney exchanges, which allow incompatible patient-donor pairs to exchange with other such pairs. "
What do you think?

Because Of The Bad Weather
It was raining so hard that the road near here got flooded. I was soaking wet, my pant is so wet and my shoes got wet as well. When I took a taxi cab I just told the driver if we can drop by at the mall so I can buy a pair of pants and pair of sandals to be wears at work. I mean I could not wear wet clothes at work, it would be uncomfortable and besides the call floor is cold so I have to be dried up and so as my clothes. I was hoping for a sale at SM but they don't have. I force to buy a pair of pants that is not on sale and a sandal too. Oh well I am not buying much for myself so I just treat this one as my compensation for doing good at work. Yeah I passed the QA and the AHT too. Congrats to me!

I have been trying to get out of this house all day.
This morning I popped out of bed to change diapers, feed breakfast and put on the tv.
I didn't get even get my coffee until 1pm because I fell asleep around 11:30 after little guy was in bed at 10:30 and darling banshee was watching her favorite show after her snack.
She woke me up several times though just to make sure that my napping didn't actually do me any good.
So 1pm little guy still isn't awake yet and I'm groggy and the phone rings a couple of times. Dad, husband, some guy I bought something off the internet from but paid for the wrong kind of shipping so I had to go do the whole Paypal rigmarole again.
I even did some laundry.
I decided to go have dinner at my parents tonight because Al wants to go beat on drums at his friend's house tonight. So my chicken & pasta with white white onion & mushroom sauce will have to wait until tomorrow. I must say I shouldn't complain, but sausage & rice just isn't going to satisfy that tangy mushroom sauce craving.
It will fill me up though.
It's almost 5pm and I still haven't left yet!
I left the kids in their room for only a moment - YES I KNOW THOSE ARE THE MAGIC WORDS, AREN'T THEY? - and I'm thinking ok cool, we are all dressed, ready to go in a matter of moments now! AND THEN................
So in the bath he goes.
I had to dust off everything and wipe toys with a wet rag and now he is screaming in the playpen and I still have to vaccuum. It was all over her bed too so I'll have to change the sheets.
Will I ever leave?
Should I cancel?
Ugh, well I don't have a dinner ready that's for sure.
So....I have to go now, internets.
I have been defeated.

Not long ago I ranked all of the Pixar movies in order from my least favorite to my most favorite. With the last Harry Potter movie opening tomorrow (or tonight at midnight rather) I decided to do the same with all of them. Are you curious to know which is my favorite? Well, you should be!
7 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
I love all of the Harry Potter movies, but this one has to be my least favorite. I feel like the filmmakers struggled condensing all of the events into a comprehensive movie. It jumps quickly from one task to another, leaving a few loose ends unattended. And those boys need to cut their hair!
6 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
This one has a lot of the same problems as Goblet of Fire, but manages to handle things a little bit better. Seeing them form Dumbledore's Army is a lot of fun and who doesn't love to hate Professor Umbridge? She's so evil!
5 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Chamber of Secrets is a pretty cool movie, I must say. It has a great score, a fun mystery to solve, scary basilisks, flying cars and giant spiders! Harry, Ron and Hermione are a tad bit older now and starting to feel comfortable in their roles and Professor Lockhart is gleefully fun to watch.
4 Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
This movie may sport some of the worst special effects of the series, but Sorcerer's Stone still remains so endearing and magical. This was the movie where we were first introduced to the wizarding world and it was so much fun discovering it alongside Harry. Director Chris Columbus laid the groundwork for a fantastic franchise and the score by John Williams is superb.
3 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
I feel like this movie was either love it or hate it amongst fans, but I happen to love it. I was surprised at how funny Half-Blood Prince was with all of its romantic subplots. There was also plenty of drama especially involving Malfoy's character. Tom Felton really did a fantastic job. On the technical side I was very impressed with the lighting and composition of this movie. There was a really beautiful play with light and shadow.
2 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
What I loved about this movie was the raw emotion of the characters, the beautiful cinematography, and the slower pace. Although skeptical at first of the decision to split Deathly Hallows into two films, I now see that it was a good idea. I feel like there was a closer attention to detail in this movie because of it. I liked the somber mood and I felt they all really gave fantastically mature performances.
1 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of AzkabanSince its initial release Prisoner of Azkaban has been my very favorite and it hasn't changed over all these years. I thought director Alfonso Cuarón brought such a new look and feel to the series; it was edgier yet more whimsical all at the same time. Part of what makes the aesthetic so great is that he didn't rely one hundred percent on CGI images for the special effects. The blowing-up of Aunt Marge and the transformation of Professor Lupin are both perfect examples of this. I also really love the use of visual foreshadowing, such as the swinging pendulum to hint at the time travel at the end or the shots of the Whomping Willow that not only mark each season but play up the tree's importance later on. So good! As far as artistic filmmaking is concerned, Prisoner of Azkaban simply trumps the rest.
I wonder where Deathly Hallows Part 2 will rank... I guess I'll find out soon enough!

The substances of the present day life are that overseeing tight money related circumstances is a central worry of our lives. The money related high temp water than a large portion of us end up in implies that taking out personal loans for bad credit change is typical. Yet, in the event that the correct credit isn't taken out, at that point it may just compound the circumstance.
Bad Credit isn't So Bad
There is a typical misconception that bad credit scores are bad news with regards to the odds of getting an application endorsed. The truth of the matter is that credit scores are just a sign of a credit history, however, are not unequivocal in the endorsement procedure. This is essentially why it is workable for even those with low scores to get personal loans for bad credit. Having the capacity to reimburse longstanding loans or clearing service bills is a help, however, renegotiating existing obligations is another method for discharging a portion of the devastating weight. A credit, even of a restricted sum, is the way to solidifying obligations and taking full control of the money related circumstance that is generally so incapacitating.
In this way, regardless of whether the candidate has bad credit scores to their name, a personal advance can be secured. This is on the grounds that the fundamental issues from the perspective of the loan specialist, is little to do with credit scores however that the salary that is being earned is sufficient, and the measure of obligation effectively existing isn't as of now excessively.
Utilizing Security in an Application
One of the surest methods for getting a sufficiently vast personal advance for bad credit is to give some sort of security. The worry for each bank is, all things considered, the capacity of the borrower to reimburse the advance. In any case, coming up short that, that the bank has something with which to recapture any misfortunes should the borrower default on the advance. The reason for applying for a line of credit may differ, from renegotiating existing obligations to clearing one obligation totally, yet the hazard is as yet the same in the eye of the bank. Along these lines, when security is given it is hard to the loan specialist not to support the application. Security, for example, a thing of adornments or even some home value, would be perfect. Without having adequate property, be that as it may, a cosigner is the best option. Cosigners ensure that reimbursements on a personal advance will be made regardless of whether the borrower can't.
Inventive Borrowing
Be that as it may, there are additionally other options to looking for security. They, for the most part, require some innovative reasoning, yet in securing a personal advance for bad credit, the long haul focal points can be too great to miss. Be that as it may, such measures typically take a touch of time, so tolerance is important.
One route is to secure a progression of Personal Loans for Bad Credit, every one of which can be reimbursed inside a matter of weeks. The wholes are low, maybe just $500, yet with each advance reimbursed, the credit score makes strides. Along these lines, after 5 or 6 such loans, the distinction can be noteworthy, in this way renegotiating existing obligations is conceivable a tiny bit at a time.

Australian cricketer Brett Lee is currently in India for the promotions and release of his debut film titled UnIndian. He stars opposite Tanishtha Chatterjee in the film. The film has circled in many film festivals and has been well received. Bollywoodlife met up the two stars for an interview and well it was pretty hilarious for me!
During the interview, we talked about many topics including how the actors were cast, the censorship UnIndian had to go through and many more. We ended the session with a quick Rapid Fire, in which Brett was at his wittiest best. Well, on camera. I asked him about what was that one thing about India that scandalised him. And his answer was just as witty as it gets. He replied "Nervous journalists", clearly hinting at me. Well, I indeed was behaving like a crazy fan and was super nervous throughout the interview. His quick dig at my expense made everyone around us laugh who were witnessing me being a wreck. He clearly won this round of rapid fire, hands down. But I wasn't in the mood to let it go so easily. I had to own Round 2 and I did.
Here's the rapid fire with Lee as a proof.
UnIndian tells the story of Will, played by Brett Lee, an Australian man who falls for Meera, played by Tanishtha, an Indian woman. The film has been directed by Anupam Sharma and looks pretty cute from the trailer.
During the interview when I quizzed Tanishtha, if she had a fan girl moment on meeting Brett Lee, the actress said that she couldn't believe when Anupam told her about Brett. She wondered if Brett Lee was an Australian actor she is unaware of. "I wasn't nervous. Brett is a gentleman. He made me feel very comfortable."

XChange Ministries is not just a church or an organization; it's a family.
In this family, we firmly believe that God created us all to seek Him, and as we seek Him, we learn to express His love to one another. Though we are all uniquely different and come from various backgrounds and cultures, God is the thread that unifies us all. We believe in maintaining an atmosphere where the truth is spoken in love, where people are encouraged in their faith, and where no one feels like they have to do life alone.
Our goal is to cover three basic questions as you explore our page. We want to make sure that you understand the personality of the ministry. At our core, we simply love God, love people, and would love for you to join us.
We believe that focusing on these three things is what God calls for us to do. We trust in the Lord and follow His will.
The Bible is the blueprint on how we should live our lives. It is God-breathed and inspired. We strongly believe that if we follow the Word, we will grow stronger as a community and in relationship with God.
As long as we keep our focus on God, we can not stray. God has a very specific purpose and life planned for us all, and it is our mission to follow His instructions as closely as possible. We understand that we all fall short of the glory of God, but with His help, we pray and work everyday to do our very best.
There is no doubt that we will grow stronger as a community of believers as we focus on serving one another. It is essential for us to engage in fellowship, pray for each other, and encourage those around us. As we grow, our heart is to continue to reach the lost and broken, sharing the hope of Our Savior Jesus Christ.
"For "Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."
But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, "How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!""
Romans 10:13-15
Pastors Martiez and Shani 'Nikki' Moore are the co-founders of XChange Ministries. They met while attending Valdosta State University and got married after becoming bestfriends. They currently reside in Valdosta, Georgia, where their passion for campus ministry has been nurtured and has flourished.
They both are licensed and ordained ministers of the gospel and work together alongside a team of dedicated individuals to oversee the daily functions and operations of XChange Ministries.
Commonly referred to as 'Papa Tez' and 'Mama Nik', they share a genuine paternal and materal love and commitment to serving others and helping them develop in all aspects of their lives. Since 2008, they have selflessly given themselves to loving God and loving young adults in college communities all around the world.
XChange Ministries is truly a blessing! My daughter Renee S France has been attending since her Freshman year! She's a senior now and I know her spiritual growth and outgoing personality is due in part to your awesome organization. The amount of friends she has she can call family. The fellowship, trips, worship, praise, drama performances, and community service you provide is an asset and a joy. Thank you for giving my daughter purpose and an anchor during a time when she was far from home.
Anna Thompson
"I had the opportunity to meet a couple of these students [from XChange Ministries]. When I tell you God was in the mist, He was IN THERE! Everywhere we went today during our visit to VSU, we came across an XChange member and each shared encouraging words to my son and niece. I am overwhelmed at how God works! SO AMAZING!!!!!! I look forward to hearing more testimonies if my son chooses VSU as his college choice. Thank you for your love, caring spirit, and the prayers you sent up. God Bless!"

Growing up, we didn't celebrate Christmas as my family aren't Christian. We also didn't celebrate New Year as my parents weren't party people. I found the whole holiday really hard as my western friends would be talking about the pressies they got, their trees and parties. As I grew older and was able to go out, I would join the mad rush to find parties and stuff to do, especially on New Year's Eve. After a few years of trekking down to Trafalgar square to be squashed and then some party or other, and a totally horrendous Millennium Year party, I was in tears and a kind stranger at Baker Street station told me to give myself a break and not feel the need to "celebrate". So from then on, pressure was off and I would spend NYE at home watching films and hopefully falling asleep before the countdown. New Year's day would involve an extremely long walk - it's one of the best times to walk around London as it tends to be empty. My best walk was one around central London into Convent Garden.
How times have changed. Now I've got the tree, decorations, pressies and the whole NYE to look forward to. But in some ways it's been a tough year, and at times the despair keeps me awake at night. I also still feel some pressure and worry about the pressies as I don't have an income but I don't want my tot to miss out and my hubby's family are Christian and celebrate the whole thing.
Tis the season to be jolly. However, for many people it's the exact opposite. The depression alliance have said that 1 in 5 people suffer from depression. This is the one of worst time of year for sufferers of depression - full of pressures whether you are alone or not. If you are alone you may be fine with that - or you may also be lonely. And this season helps people dwell on their loneliness. Or you could be part of a family (but still lonely) with the pressure to buy presents, cook dinner, entertain and so on. To breaking point.
So there is a helpful guide that you can look at:
If you don't want to be alone, consider volunteering on Christmas day. Crisis are looking for volunteers:
And most importantly, remember that this is only a short 2 week season. People aren't always as happy as they seem so don't assume you are alone in your feelings and know that you will get through it all.
