continuous quality improvement director of strategy and business development at Tennessee Oncology How has Oncology Care Model (OCM) participation affected practice transformation OCM has impacted practice transformation in I think 3 important ways associated with the model have underwritten a lot of the investments that practices have wanted to make in improving care delivery The second way in which OCM has influenced practice transformation is by helping practices develop the capacity to use data for continuous quality improvement with regard to care delivery that will be important for future participation in alternative payment models I would say the third reason why OCM has impacted practice transformation is by augmenting the capacity for practices to implement the operational activities that are going to be necessary in the future for alternative payment models A couple examples of this would be tracking attribution to these models and understanding the stop-loss insurance market which practices would not have had to do without participating in OCM That will be critical for them to be capable of going forward COA 2025: Insight, Innovation, and Independent Strength New

everything’s great but I felt like it was time to write a book that empowers women to be the best mom they can be but also helps them take control of their lives again What is it about the word ‘bitch’ that gets people up in arms The way we’ve assigned it in the book for moms everywhere is about embracing that bitch I (initiate a list of how you’re going to do things differently C (care for yourself) and H (help—ask for it) We’re living this message of empowering yourself We’re not saying it in a derogatory way Yes and this book is the complete antithesis of that and realized there’s no recipe for motherhood I have three kids who need to be parented completely differently I also realized there’s no such thing as the perfect mother or the perfect wife That’s why Jill Kargman’s show It’s all about ‘be who you are’ and ‘if you don’t like me What are the biggest misconceptions of being a mom one of my kids told me I should go for ‘worst cook in America.’ So I’m not the best cook but my kids have a mom who loves them and tries No mom is going to be the best at everything and it’s OK The biggest trend I’ve seen is that mothers want realness from other mothers and a book that talks about what it’s really like to be a mom Are we too serious about the whole parenthood experience I think everybody needs to take a step back take a deep breath and honestly realize that you have to figure out what works for you There’s no set recipe for this so make your own recipe and make it messy and fun One thing we have to do is put down the phone and be in the moment Everyone is taking

toward value-based payment models oncology practices are at a disadvantage because few payers truly understand the nuances of cancer care to design good oncology payment models director of value-based care for Tennessee Oncology How can practices navigate still being in fee-for-service while partially moving to value-based care models I think that one of the challenges that community oncology practices face as they participate in value-based payment models is that not all payers have an equal understanding of the nuances of oncology in ways that are really important to designing these models there are only a handful of payers in the commercial payer environment that really understand oncology well enough to design good oncology payment models “what are the outcomes of the Medicare models?” Which have their own problems and their own challenges I think that’s sort of what I would call the major challenge that we see broadly in the managed care market in participation in these programs is simply that the nuances of cancer care are such that it’s hard to find especially in the medical leadership in the payer space folks who really understand how to design good oncology

Lyss Billingsley, founder and CEO of The Lippie Lab, a company that specializes in lip glosses for BIPOC clients. When asked about the names of the glosses, including Mauve Bxtch and Cheeky, Billingsley lets out a laugh: “Oh, girl. Those are all a taste of Lyss.” “Am I a scared child? Or am I a strong, powerful Black girl who’s going to change the world?” After years of struggling with her identity, Lyss Billingsley, creator of the Lippie Lab, has found the perfect label for herself Lyss Billingsley wears a number of labels: queer Black femme, Gemini, gloss boss. But the two words that best reconcile this outspoken entrepreneurs’ confidence with the years of childhood trauma and mental health issues and confusion about her identity, are inked in ornate script across her chest: Perfectly Imperfect. Growing up with an Irish mother and Jamaican father in 1990s Meadowvale, Billingsley struggled with her identity. “I was told by the full Black girls that I wasn’t Black enough,” she recalls. “And I was told by the white girls I was gross.” It wasn’t just her skin tone that didn’t fit into a tidy category, but her sexuality, too. Even though Billingsley knew she was gay from the time she was 10, she remembers singing along to homophobic dancehall lyrics with her friends, while at night she would sneak onto her brother’s computer to chat with girls in an LGBTQ chatroom. More than a decade of staying quiet about the family member who had been sexually abusing her since the age of six left her even more anxious and confused about who she was. “Am I a scared child?” she wondered, “Or am I a strong, powerful Black girl who’s going to change the world?” When the pandemic impelled Billingsley to leave her job at a luxury furniture company to take care of her 12-year-old son at home, she decided to use the same lips that kids used to make fun of at school as the inspiration for the Lippie Lab, a line of vegan, cruelty-free lip gloss line made specifically to look beautiful on BIPOC skin tones. Billingsley, who is usually the lightest skinned among her Black friends, says that growing up, there weren’t a lot of people who looked like her in magazines and on TV, and not many options for makeup that matched her skin tone. “Then you look at someone darker than me. And then a little darker. And then darker, darker, darker,” she says. “Where is their representation?” The only real obstacle — outside of launching a new company from home during a global pandemic while helping her son with remote learning — was that she had never actually made lip gloss before. Billingsley began following a young Black entrepreneur Kori Nicole on YouTube, who was running three businesses while completing her master’s degree, and thought, “This girl can do it, how the hell can I not do it?” After months of research, mixing formulas, leaping out of bed at night to adjust her notes on the ratio of mica pigment and oils, and testing out different shades on her son and her partner, Janelle (who “does not do beauty”), Billingsley launched four colours in July 2020. Fuelled by her large social media following and fast-spreading word of mouth, they sold out in the first eight hours. “All of my shades are about making us look good and feel incredible,” she says. But even as demand for Lippies grows, it is important to Billingsley — who admits to stealing the beauty products she couldn’t afford as a teenager — that her glosses remain affordable. Each Lippie — mixed, packaged, and labelled by Billingsley herself — sells for $11 to $13. When asked about the names of the glosses, including Mauve Bxtch and Cheeky, Billingsley lets out a laugh: “Oh, girl. Those are all a taste of Lyss.” Billingsley says she is ready to expand. She dreams of not just seeing her Lippies — including her new fruit-inspired Sangria line that dropped this month — on retail shelves, but opening her own boutique one day. Billingsley connects the relationship between the work she is doing with the Lippie Lab and becoming the woman that Little Lyss needed when she was struggling to figure out who she was and who she wanted to be. “I’m giving people a success story,” she says. “You can come from nothing, you can be poor, you can have none of the qualifications, and you can flip that and make it into something.” Account processing issue - the email address may already exist Your account has been registered, and you are now logged in.

"I was wrapped around his finger without even knowing it," Lyss said while detailing their years-long relationship which also allegedly involved a pattern of constant ghosting if she didn't comply with his requests "we were intimate at his place in Los Angeles." "He had groomed me from age 16 for this," Lyss wrote before saying he was "aggressive and controlling" during the encounter "I was so fucking scared of him." "That’s when I snapped out of it and realized that this was so "He had slowly been breaking me down for so long and I never realized it But I still was afraid of losing him." In the wake of both of these posts going viral calling them "disturbing and false." “All of the relationships I had were legal and consensual," he wrote via a statement posted to his Instagram "They ended abruptly and that obviously caused hurt feelings but for anyone to suggest anything beyond that is irresponsible." Both Nia and Lyss have since responded to Borns' post condemning his statement and calling it contradictory “This hurts more than anything you’ve ever done," Lyss wrote document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "aedcff0ea9a08599011cba1849b76407" );document.getElementById("d628b68082").setAttribute( "id" and website in this browser for the next time I comment GET OUR HAUTEST STORIES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX who played on loan in the Swiss League for the past three seasons In addition to playing for EHC Biel's U20-Elit David Prysi suited up for HC La Chaux-de-Fonds and HC Ajoie in the last couple of years he only appeared in three games in the Swiss Cup and four games of the Champions Hockey League SC Lyss was able to present a profit of CHF 30,000 for the past season at their general assembly A WOMAN has recounted the moment she realised she couldn't fit in her airplane seat - sparking a lifestyle change that saw her lose more than half her weight. Lyss Remaly weighed 350 pounds at just 21-years-old, with the young woman left breathless as she tried to walk up a flight of stairs at her apartment, even unable to put on her own bra. But she said that the defining moment was when she was flying Las Vegas to New York to audition for an off-Broadway play and realised she couldn't fit in the airplane seat and needed an extender seat belt. She said: "I was a secret eater.  I lived the philosophy very similar to the idea if a tree falls down in the woods does it still make a sound? If a fat kid eats by herself does it still count? I said no  and ate everything I wanted to eat by myself then would still go for dinner with my family and friends. "I lived in Las Vegas where everything is open 24 hours and is so accessible anytime you want it." Hawaiin pizzas and Chinese takeaway as some of her favourite foods Ms Remaly said her eating habits were out of control She said: "I would cook a full box of flaked mashed potatoes with cheese butter and sour cream and sit and eat the whole thing." the young woman made a list of all her "terrible habits" She said: "I had a whole life I wanted to live Despite undergoing bariatric surgery in 2010 she said she needed to change her eating and exercise habits to fully improve her health She said the most exercise she had done for years was walking from the car to her door, using the Bodyspace app to keep her motivated the now 28-year-old said she filled her diet with eggs The young woman also followed the  Jamie Eason Live Fit 12-week trainer plan. Now weighing 135 pounds and a bariatric coach herself Lyss said one of the most important things for people hoping to lose weight was to be honest with themselves She said: "You can tell people anything you want but the only person you are cheating is yourself "Work really hard and keep your goal in mind We pay for your stories!

But for me personally, spending time alone was crucial to figuring out who I was — and who I want to be It's not just about going to get a massage by yourself once in a while It’s about integrating new habits into your daily life These might be things you’d normally do with your partner but doing it solo can actually be more fun because you have the freedom to come and go anywhere as you please To kickstart this new era after my breakup, I started doing some solo travel, first to Tulum and later to London A new environment really is a fresh start: You're away from everything that you know "How are you not anxious about doing all of this alone?" My response is: "I am." You have to give yourself time to settle in — but once you do you open yourself up to new experiences and connections Of course, going on a bunch of solo trips isn’t always in the budget, and one trip won’t change your life. I love this book called Wherever You Go, There You Are but it’s about how wherever you are in the world So, you have to make sure you like spending time with you. You can start with something simple: Go to dinner alone. My go-to is bringing a book (I love Journey To The Heart) and my headphones I do an admittedly weird-sounding manifestation exercise I write down how I envision my life — whether it’s a relationship or friendships It’s comforting to envision that and to remind myself that I won’t be alone forever This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

"So I got these last night, the Beats Studio Pros and I was lowkey disappointed, I am not even going to lie." She added I started playing music from my Apple Music and I thought am I losing my hearing Because the volume was all the way up." She explained how she tried to use the headphones with the spatial audio on and off and tried to do it with noise cancellation on and off She tried to turn the transparency mode on and off as well but the volume was still low I’m about to return these things," the woman thought before she tried to do something else to figure out what was wrong.  absolutely no way that I just get these and they suck," she expressed "I was so surprised because I loved my Solo 2s the original solos," she added that they always had amazing quality "I said let me just go to Spotify." Lyss admitted "I almost literally just blew my eardrums." She questioned "What the hell is the difference between Apple Music and Spotify Why is the sound quality terrible on Apple Music playing through Apple Headphones?"

The woman captioned the video can someone explain?"

And there was one TikToker who said that they kept some of the equipment from their job as a form of "payback" for getting canned: "I kept my monitors and docking stations I’m getting something out of it" it seems like she made sure to keep something for herself on her way out as well: "Yeah I have more office supplies but I needed to let out a little frustration" Others offered up other helpful ways to get out of paying any potential bills that might come in the mail: "Just say someone stole your laptop out of your car This video evidence doesn't seem like it'll help though here's hoping someone at the company didn't catch it Either that or Lyss could just outright refuse to pay it and hope that the company forgets about it "He Set a Minimum Budget for His Gifts": Woman's Boyfriend Asks Her to Spend at Least $200 on BDay Bart Howard Wrote "Fly Me to the Moon" for His Gay Partner — a Fan Shows How Their Love Transcends Death “I Was Not Expecting to Come in Here Today” Says a Mom Who Wore Pajamas to Son's School Link to XLink to InstagramContact us by EmailOpt-out of personalized ads People may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website Offers may be subject to change without notice.
