Home-Based Primary Care: Can We Take These Results to the Bank?
Written By
Reviewed By
To some, "home-based primary care" (HBPC) may evoke images of frail shut ins — unable to leave their homes due to physical, mental, or cognitive impairments. Others imagine a nostalgic past when physicians made house calls to acutely ill patients. The aging of America is no secret.1 With aging, comes an increased burden of disease and pharmacotherapy.2 Those with multiple chronic conditions are high utilizers of health care resources.3-5 A small number of Medicare beneficiaries incur a disproportionately large fraction of total healthcare expenditures.5 Demonstration projects in home-based primary care (HBPC) are currently underway as part of the Accountable Care Act's Independence at Home (IAH) program,6 with the goal of decreasing overall costs.
There has been considerable enthusiasm for HBPC as a model of care to rectify our fragmented healthcare system. But does HBPC make a difference for either patients or payers? HBPC-based trials examining their impact on hospital admissions7-12, emergency department visits7,13,14, long-term care/skilled-nursing facility placement10,11,14 and quality of life/patient satisfaction13 have all failed to show a positive impact on patient-oriented outcomes. And, from the payer's perspective, the impact of HBPC on the cost of care has varied widely.8,11,13
Most recently, De Jong and colleagues15 conducted a case-control cohort study that examined the impact of a HBPC service on costs and survival in a fee-for-service Medicare population. Cases were individuals over the age of 65, newly enrolled in the MedStar Washington Hospital Center HBPC system between 2004 and 2008, and who did not have HMO coverage at baseline. Excluding those with HMO coverage gave a clearer picture of individuals who solely used Medicare Parts A and B for their health-care coverage, as well as provided complete medical datasets from a sole payer. Medicare Part D information was not included. Individuals were excluded if they resided in a LTCF, but could be included if temporarily admitted to a LTCF for skilled nursing care. Cases were matched to controls in a 1:3 ratio based on multiple variables, including age and comorbidities, from a pool of beneficiaries from surrounding metro areas. Univariate analysis was utilized for the primary outcomes of total Medicare Part A & B costs, use of medical services, and mortality. Total costs were calculated based on the following categories: hospice, home health, physician and non-physician practitioner billing, skilled nursing care, hospitalizations, diagnostic tests, transportation, Medicare Part B drugs, durable medical equipment, and outpatient facility use. A multivariable regression was performed to account for baseline differences including age, frailty, and selected major chronic diseases.
The HBPC team consisted primarily of physicians, some of whom were geriatricians, nurse practitioners, social workers, nurses, and home health aides. Home visits and services were performed based on the level of care deemed necessary for each patient. A pharmacist and mental health professional joined the team for weekly team meetings. Patients were followed by the team during inpatient stays and care transitions. An integrated electronic health record (EHR) linking inpatient and outpatient data was utilized as well as home-based diagnostic tools. Patients were followed until the end of the study period (2013), were placed in a LTCF, entered a Medicare Advantage (HMO) plan, or passed away.
The majority of the participants were female (76.7%) and African American (90.2%). Cases were slightly older than the controls (83.7 vs. 82.0 years; p < 0.001). In the 4-month period prior to HBPC enrollment, there was no significant difference in total Medicare spending but there were differences in some cost categories.
During an average follow-up of approximately 2 years from enrollment, total Medicare costs were lower for cases than controls ($44,455 vs. $50,977; p = 0.01). While certain expenses were higher for cases (home health care and hospice), cases had significantly fewer hospitalizations (P=0.001), ER visits (P=0.001), and SNF days (P=0.001). Cases had roughly twice the number of generalist practitioner visits during the study (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that total Medicare costs were reduced by 17% for those participating in the HBPC program versus matched controls, translating to a potential cost savings greater than $6 million over 2 years. A subgroup analysis found that the frailest patients were the primary driver of cost savings across the entire cohort. Mortality rates did not differ between the groups or the mean time to death. Overall, the rates of death were high in both groups.
In an era where hospitals and accountable care organizations must increasingly shoulder costs of care, these findings are intriguing. However, there are important limitations that impact the generalizability of these results. An integrated health system and EHR, allowing practitioners to follow patients both as inpatients and outpatients, is not the norm in the United States. While the patient population was older and female, it was also predominantly African American. The health system included smaller, non-urban hospitals. Importantly, the investigators did not have access to Medicare Part D claims data. Therefore, there is no information regarding the impact of this HBPC program on drug costs or how drug costs may have influenced the overall cost of care. Finally, control patients were not exclusively from the same geographic area. Therefore differences in practice patterns and utilization may account for the findings.
Despite these limitations, this study offers some important insights. It is the first study attempting to compare outcomes most relevant to payers – Medicare in this case. The subgroup analysis, although only hypothesis generating, may be useful when developing algorithms to identify those who might benefit the most from HBPC. The team's involvement during care transitions is unique, as other HBPC interventions do not typically include coordination of care from one care venue to another.
There are several important considerations we should keep in mind for future studies:
- Study design: Prospective, randomized studies are needed to draw definitive conclusions regarding advantages and disadvantages of HBPC.
- Team composition: Standardization of HBPC inter-professional teams may have important implications for comprehensiveness of care, patient outcomes, and associated costs.
- Frequency of follow-up: Standardization in the frequency of HBPC visits, team meetings, and coordination of care transitions may be important contributors to outcomes such as quality of life and perceptions of access to care.
- Duration of follow-up: The long-term impact of HBPC on patient outcomes is poorly elucidated; the majority of studies have followed patients for less than one year after enrollment.
Despite the positive impact of a HBPC intervention on cost in this study7, health systems may be reticent to embrace HBPC. This may be especially true in a fee for service Medicare plan where savings do not translate to tangible financial benefits to the health system providing the care – indeed, it might reduced revenue. Employing an interprofessional team devoted solely to the care of home-based patients, as well as the costs of the technology to support such care, may be an insurmountable financial obstacle for some health systems. And, if a health-system determined that HBPC was in their best interest, would they include a pharmacist on the interprofessional team? It seems logical that a pharmacists would be the most appropriate individual to oversee medication use and identify medication-related problems. But pharmacists do not yet have provider status and cannot bill Medicare. While the data is far from clear, this analysis suggests that HBPC is a cost-effective approach to meeting the needs of the frailest in our society. What do you think?

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Twitter' tag.
I must admit that when we were told to start using Twitter I wasn't very excited. I always felt that the concept was kind of silly. To me, Twitter seemed like a simpler, knock-off version of Facebook. Plus, none of my close friends use Twitter, so it seemed pretty useless for me to set up an account. However, after using Twitter for a few months, I can see why journalists think it is a vital reporting tool.
There are several obvious uses of Twitter for journalists and news organizations. For example, reporters and news organizations can use Twitter to get tips. During my internship at seattlepi.com this quarter, Humberto Martinez, the former Hot Topics blogger saw a tweet that claimed rapper and TV personality Flavor Flav was at Westlake Mall, so he rushed down there to get the story. Furthermore, I saw the P-I, and many other news organizations that I began following, use Twitter to promote their site. When the P-I was one of the first Seattle news organizations to post that Ken Griffey Jr. was retiring from the Mariners, the staff immediately tweeted a link to its article.
Lastly, categorizing tweets by hashtags is extremely helpful. Journalists can get ideas for articles by either seeing what's trending, or they can find a lot of information about a topic by seeing what people have tweeted about it all over the world. Traditional journalists were able to get information about the war in Mumbai and write stories via Twitter hashtags.
This week I decided to look at who some of the amazing journalists I'm following are following and steal a few goodies from their lists. Here's who I came up with:
@karentravers – bio: ABC News White House Reporter, Philly sports fan, Gtown Hoya
@steveosunsami – bio: ABC News Correspondent
@mfleischner – bio: Search Engine Optimization Expert and Internet Marketing Professional
@lisastark – bio: ABC News Correspondent
@ezraklein – bio: Blogger for the Washington Post, columnist for Newsweek. Eater of food. Hater of filibuster. Lover of charts.
Recently on Twitter I have been scouting out reporters from major newspapers checking out how they use it to promote their publication. This week I chose to look at one of the most well-known papers in the United States – The LA Times.
@LATimesFood – bio: News, recipes + reviews from the LA Times Food staff, test kitchen + Daily Dish blog, by @renelynch.
@LATimestravel – bio: The LA Times Travel crew curate tips + deals for a restless Tweetosphere: latimes.com/travelblog. See @latimestweets for more news + features streams.
@LATimesSports – bio: National + SoCal sports news feed from the LA Times + latimes.com. Follow the Fabulous Forum blog at @latsportsblog. See latimes.com/twitter for more news.
@LATimesHealth – bio: Current health + medical news from the Los Angeles Times + latimes.com. See latimes.com/twitter for more news + features streams.
@LATimescitydesk – bio: Nita Lelyveld, @latimes metro features editor, aims to keep you up to date on LA news, with hand-selected updates throughout the day. DM story ideas/feedback.
The San Francisco Chronicle is another online newspaper that is experimenting with new designs and features to try and get a hold on the new journalism market. I am often on its site, and I've always enjoyed its layout and simplicity. I thought this week I'd check out how its reporters are using Twitter to direct readers to the site.
@Hawaii_Insider – bio: SFGate.com's Aloha Friday columnist and Hawaii Insider blogger; former SF Chronicle Travel editor; lover of hula and all things Hawai'i.
@peterhartlaub – bio: Peter Hartlaub is the pop culture critic at the San Francisco Chronicle, reviews movies and video games and is founder/editor of the parenting blog The Poop.
@hankschulman – bio: Giants beat writer, San Francisco Chronicle
@JohnKingSFChron – bio: San Francisco Chronicle's Urban Design Critic, looking at places and cityscapes as well as capital A Architecture.
@jbonne – bio: Wine Editor, SF Chronicle
This week I decided to start following some journalists at one of the most successful newspapers in the country – The New York Times. I'm sure they have a lot of wisdom to share.
1. @JamesEstrin – blogger and editor
bio: New York Times Lens Blog Editor and Senior Staff Photographer
2. @KSchulten – blogger and editor
bio: former h.s. teacher and literacy consultant, now editor of the New York Times Learning Network blog. (Follow the blog's tweets at nytimeslearning.)
3. @davidjoachim – editor
bio: Banking editor at The New York Times
4. @NYTimesRich – columnist
bio: Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times
5. @NYTimesFriedman – columnist
bio: NY Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize winning author of Lexus and the Olive Tree and From Beirut to Jerusalem.
I intern at the Seattle P-I so I'm always around the reporters there. Naturally, when I first started a Twitter account, I started following them first. However, this week, in order to make sure I remain unbiased, I started following some great staff reporters at The Seattle Times as well. These folks are smart to follow because they work for a major metro daily that has both a print and online version. It's interesting to see how they use Twitter to promote their work. Here's a few of them:
1. @BrierDudley – Brier Dudley is the tech columnist for The Times.
Sample tweet: Q&A: Bungie on "Halo: Reach" beta, Natal and more: The biggest tech product coming out of the Seattle area this ye… http://bit.ly/9U574S
2. @Andrew_Doughman – Andrew is a student at the University of Washington and recently got a gig writing for The Times. There may be hope for the rest of us!
Sample tweet: NY Times has a helpful set of Google search tips (hey, reporters!)http://nyti.ms/drXj4J
3. @gbakermariners – Geoff Baker covers the Mariners for The Seattle Times and writes a sports blog.
Sample tweet: Talkin' Baseball segment coming up on KJR AM 950 within the next 5-10 minutes.:http://www.kjram.com/main.html
4. @EmilyHeffter – Emily Heffter covers politics for The Times.
Sample tweet: Final vote: 5-4 for bill with O'Brien, Licata, Rasmussen and Harrell opposing. It would take six votes to override McGinn's expected veto.
5. @marianliu – Marian Liu covers Seattle's music and art scene (LOVE her).
Sample tweet: More summer jam news – Trey Songz, Fabolous and Jason Derulo are playing. More artists will be announced in the coming days on KUBE93.com
A bright future for journalism…do you buy it? Mark Glaser does. This afternoon I read a blog post he wrote that gives 10 reasons why journalism will thrive. Glaser introduces the post by writing, "… rather than dwell on the negative, rail against change, or damn the upstarts at Google and Craigslist, I'd like to take a walk on the sunny side of life in new media, consider the positive aspects of all that is happening, and how we could end up in a renaissance era for journalism."
Glaser lists these points among others:
- More access to journalism worldwide
- Aggregation and personalization satisfies readers
- More fact-checkers than ever (with online comments and critiques)
- More voices as part of the conversation
- Greater transparency and a more personal tone
- Stories never end (constant updates)
While I agree that his arguments make sense and probably are making the practice of journalism more comprehensive, his piece depressed me. None of the reasons he listed will help newspapers stay in business. In fact, he made it sound as if journalism majors are going to lose their jobs to the amateurs.
What do you think? Will journalism progress (thrive) with or without trained employees?
I found an interesting article last night called "How We Use Twitter for Journalism" written by Marshall Kirkpatrick detailing how journalists can benefit from Twitter. While most of it contained pretty basic ideas (to discover breaking news and promote headlines), it mentioned using Twitter as a comprehensive interviewing tool, which I hadn't thought about.
Kirkpatrick wrote about his own experience using Twitter as an interviewing tool for his site "Read Write Web":
The questions we asked for our post titled "APIs and Developer Platforms: A Discussion of the Pros and Cons", for example, recieved answers via Twitter from people like Esther Schindler, senior online editor at CIO.com, Ray Valdes, Research Director of Web Services at Gartner Inc, Chris Saad, co-founder and chairman of the Data Portability Workgroup and Raju Vegesna, of web office suite Zoho. In addition to people of such stature that we'd have to take a deep breath before being so presumptuous as to call them on the phone – our questions get interesting replies from a diverse group of people we would never have thought to ask personally.
Today I finally joined the Twittering world (follow me!). I always thought Twitter was pretty useless. To me, it seemed like a Facebook wannabe but with fewer features. However, after doing some exploring today, I discovered that Twitter is full of useful information. Here were are a few accounts I thought journalists would find useful:
1. @jayrosen_nyu – tweets breaking news and offers thoughts on where journalism is headed.
Bio: "I teach journalism at NYU, direct the Studio 20 program there, critique the press and try to grok new media. I don't do lifecasting but mindcasting on Twitter."
2. @writing_tips – the copy-editor in me was thrilled to find this account. We all need to be reminded of the basics every now and then.
Bio: "Daily tips on grammar, spelling, punctuations, freelance writing and more!"
3. @WeeklyEvents – some of the best story ideas come from attending local events. This site lets us know which events Seattle Weekly writers are recommending.
Bio: "Follow our tweets to keep up to date on Seattle Weekly sponsored events, contests, and promotions!"
4. @SeattleMet – Updates on Seattle's restaurants, benefits, fashion, general happenings etc.
Bio: "Seattle Metropolitan is our city's indispensable news, culture, and lifestyle magazine."
5. @mjironside – Matt Ironside is one of The Seattle Times' online news producers and project managers. He is a technological guru.
Bio: "Producer, project manager for seattletimes.com."
6. @Wordpress – tips and tricks for our beloved blogging site.
Bio: "Updates and other fun stuff related to WordPress.org (that's the self-hosted version)."

Bio: "Live breaking news and developing stories nonstop from America and every corner of the world."
9. @blpro – General blogging tips for a variety of platforms.

Don't Waste Your Money on Centura College
I am writing this today too hopefully save someone $31,500.00 or more. Yes that is right folks, for the cost of your left arm and both of your legs you too can obtain an Associate's degree from Centura College or any other private college for that matter. I am writing this to hopefully keep someone from making such a huge mistake. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CENTURA COLLEGE or any other PRIVATELY OWNED Career College, Technical College or Trade School. I would like for you to know what I know about these institutions and how I know about this information. My older sister is a former Admissions Representative for Centura College Online and my best friend is a former Admissions Representative for the Miller Motte campus located in Raliegh, NC.
These private educational institutions cater to the poor and under-educated. They seek out the feeble minded and offer them the chance at a better life by means of obtaining a degree in a particular trade. This is why they are often referred to as a Technical or Trade College. My sister told me that if someone were to Google JobCorp the phone number for Centura College Online would show up and anyone who intended to call JobCorp ended up calling her former employer so that they could then proceed to harass the person on a daily basis sometimes calling them up to 3 times a day in rotating shifts so that the Admissions Representative could remind them about how they are not achieving their full potential and tell them that they could make so much more. The interesting thing is that most of the same potential students also receive calls from companies trying to collect on a debt that is owed so the person ends up ignoring the calls.
Tuition is not cheap at any school. This is true. You are making a decision to invest in your education and thereby investing in your future. The average cost for a credit hour in a Community College is about $140.00-$240.00. Considering that most classes are 3 credit hours you are going to spend $420.00- $720.00 per each class. Now to be eligible to receive financial aid through the Federal Government i.e. the FAFSA (FREE Application for Federal Student Aid) a student must be in school full time which is 12 credit hours. That being stated someone can expect to pay $1,680.00-$2,880.00 per semester at a Community College.
Now at Centura the cost is $525.00 per credit hour. So a single class would cost $1,575.00 and thusly a semester would cost $6,300.00. That's correct folks it is well over twice the amount that you would pay for a more expensive Community College. Understanding that an Associate's Degree is 60 credit hours this would equate to around $8,400.00-$14,400.00 for an Associate's Degree at a Community College. Now let's consider the cost of an Associate's Degree for Centura College $525.00 x 60 credit hours comes to $31,500.00.
My sister told me how awful she felt working for this company. She truly felt that she was ruining the lives and futures of many people. People feel as if they don't have options. One of the biggest problems that the potential students encountered is a lack of transportation. Most of the students who were trying to attend school online were doing so because their car is or was broken, or they never had a car. I AM TELLING YOU TO TAKE A BUS, Carpool, taxi walk or swim there if you have too. Once you have attended classes make friends and arrange for them to pick you up. Pay them what you can afford in gas money so that it is worth their time. FIND A WAY. The difference in cost of obtaining an education at a Community College versus at a private college like Centura or Miller Motte is around $17,000.00. I don't imagine I need to illustrate for you how many crappy cars you could buy for that amount. All you need is one crappy car that will take you back and forth to school. I know that some of you may be telling yourself that because Centura is a Trade school or a Technical school you are learning a specialized trade or skill. Guess what folks Community Colleges offer these as well and there are probably more skills or trades to choose from. I beg everyone who is considering college to learn or pursue a specific skill or trade to check out the earning potential for these skills/trades by the state that you reside in.

Once upon a time, very early on, one of the proto-boards which eventually merged to become ChristianForums as it's known today used the Apostle's Creed as its standard of "who is a Christian here". By the time I reached the site, it was using the longer Nicene Creed. A brief experiment in 2003 allowed members to use either, but a "problem" was found: Mormons accept the Apostle's Creed, but almost none of them can agree to the Nicene Creed.
Many traditional Christian groups say some pretty nasty things about Mormons. They are generally called a "cult", for instance. (CF specifically prohibits calling Christian groups they aren't kicking in the teeth "cults".)
So, the Apostle's Creed was yanked. There's just one problem, which is that many, many, Christians have never even heard of the Nicene Creed. To this day, CF is full of people who don't accept it, although they've mitigated this somewhat by adding footnotes allowing people to reject certain claims.
What they can't do is just admit that the real rule is "You have to accept the Apostles' Creed, but not be a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness". In practice, that seems to be it.
There's a great deal of struggle around the boundaries, as some other Christian groups (to avoid confusion, I'm just calling all the Jesus freaks "Christians") accept the Apostles' Creed, but not the Nicene Creed. They are generally told smugly that they are not qualified under the site's definition — often by the people who needed the footnotes.
But no matter what, the Mormons are a special case. A special ghetto has been created for debates of a few points of theology, and for kicking the snot out of the Mormons. There's a couple of interesting points to this. The first is that the forum has a rule against "promoting" non-Christian religions. The second is that no two staff members agree on what is, or isn't, promoting.
Policy rulings on the topic have gradually made the fence higher, and the Mormon side of it spikier. The bullies are allowed to demand that the Mormons substantiate claims, and declare victory if the Mormons fail to do so, even when doing so would be treated as a rule violation and edited. They are even allowed to declare victory if the Mormons do provide evidence, because it will usually be removed.
The prize-winner was a Mormon receiving an official warning for demonstrating convincingly that a particular claim about Mormons was false. The rationale offered was that, since Mormonism is false, if a Mormon wins an argument, he must have broken some rule. (I don't have the exact details of the case right, but the net result has been a general stance that, if a Mormon wins any point, it is a de facto violation of the rule against promoting other religions.)
There is a theme which runs through a number of movies and TV shows; I think I saw it in some movie related to the Kung Fu TV series. Two people are told to fight, and the more skilled one is told he must not attack, only defend. Eventually, he loses. The point of the story is that you cannot win a fight if you cannot attack.
In Unorthodox Theology, the Mormons cannot attack. Under some rulings that are still sometimes upheld, they can't even defend.
What this produces is, of course, exactly what you'd expect. There are a few Mormons who come to CF, and they are very patient and Godly people, who have more patience and kindness than most of the people you will ever meet. If they didn't, they wouldn't stay around, saying what little they can, correcting the most egregious errors, and getting warned for it over and over.
Since there's no way to ask them honest questions and get real answers (that would be "promoting Mormonism"), no one with any actual interest in the question participates for long.
So who does?
Think about the kind of person who hears the story of the two fighters, one who only defends, and thinks "I want to be the guy who only attacks." They're bullies. Not only that, but they are without exception really weak bullies; they are people who cannot win arguments if their opponents are allowed to argue.
What's pathetic isn't that there are people who come to the forum to take advantage of this. What's pathetic is that they lose anyway.
The problem is that the net result of this is to present a snapshot of "mainstream Christians vs. Mormons" in which the Mormons are polite, well-spoken, and patient beyond the normal limits of human endurance, and the Christians are petty and spiteful liars, who present atrocious argumentation backed only by the smug assurance of knowing no one can really argue with them.

The city is crammed full of beautiful architecture - the cathedral is very grand and sits at the centre of the city but even the little backstreets were charming with iron balconies and colourful tiles. Orange trees lined the streets and huge palm trees towered over us in the main squares.
It was nice to escape the heat of the city streets and wonder amongst the gardens of the Reales Alcazares and relax along the banks of the river.
We stayed in the Picasso Hostel right in the center of the city. It's a pretty, cheerful building with a fun and friendly atmosphere. We had a room to ourselves right at the top next to the roof terrace - it was lovely to be able to spend some time sunbathing with a book and a coffee before hitting the streets to explore and at night we snuggled up under blankets with a bottle of red wine and watched the bats circling around the cathedral spire.
How do you feel about hostels vs hotels? I would totally go for a hostel next time - they're cheaper and it somehow feels easier to talk to people and make friends when you otherwise might have kept yourself to yourself.

Making videos is fun! The aim of this guide is to help you produce a short science video in a few simple steps…
Step 1: Choosing your topic
We've selected eight different science and technology themes for you to choose from below:
- Design Your Future
- Healing the Body, in association with CÚRAM
- How Things Work
- Incredible Life
- Our Amazing Planet
- Science and Me
- Science in Space
- The Power of Science
Discuss the topics with the group to see what sparks some interest. Our supporters and friends in the CÚRAM Research Centre have provided additional information about their research into Medical Devices in the links above, which may inspire you to explore these particular topics.
However, any aspect of the main topics may be communicated by your video – so be creative and original! Don't try to cover too much! Use this handy ReelLIFE SCIENCE brainstorm sheet to explore your chosen topic to find a manageable subject for your video. You only have 3 minutes to communicate a topic, so perhaps pick one aspect of the chosen topic and tell a story!
Step 2: Choosing your Style
Next, you'll want to decide how your video will look and feel. Will it be filmed or animated? Humorous or more serious? Will it take the form of a demonstration, an interview or a performance?
Remember you have the advantage of using a visual medium, so feel free to dress up, draw, demonstrate, animate, sing, play, experiment, interview, visit a local site, build, recruit friends, family or whatever you need to tell your story. Using a storyboard can be a great idea, to plan what will be seen at all stages of the film.
If this is your first time making a video, you might want to keep it simple – you could even film the entire video in one take on a smartphone, so you don't need to edit clips together.
Step 3: Making your Video
Film the video using whatever camera you are most comfortable with, whether it's a camcorder, digital camera, tablet or smartphone. Just make sure you film it in landscape (sideways) orientation, rather than portrait, so it looks well on the screen.
If you are using a tablet or smartphone, you can simply use its video editing software to join your clips together, add music, credits or even a voiceover. If you use a camcorder or digital camera, you will need to upload your video to a computer, which will come with its own editing software or you can search online for a free software package to use.
Sound quality can often be poor if filming outdoors, particularly on windy days, and can negatively impact otherwise excellent video footage. If you think the sound quality is poor or inaudible, consider recording a separate voiceover indoors using your video camera or phone voice recorder and adding it to the video afterwards. Videos can be made in English, Irish or even using Sign Language, although you may wish to consider including English subtitles to appeal to a wider audience.
If you prefer, you can submit an animated video. There are lots of free animation software packages online, or you could use stop-motion techniques to animate modelling clay, toys, puppets or images/drawings. We try to discourage the use of slideshow-type videos, where images are shown with a voiceover, as we favour original video footage to communicate a topic.
You cannot use any copyrighted material in your film without permission, such as video clips (TV, movies, online videos), music, sound recordings, etc. YouTube, where the video will be hosted online, may even remove the audio track or the entire video, if copyrighted material is detected. For more on YouTube's Copyright policy, read here. You can easily find lots of 'royalty free music' online (e.g. this article) for your video or or you may even like to compose an original piece of music.
Remember to keep the video length between one and three minutes as your video may be penalised during judging. This is where the use of a storyboard in the planning phase can really help!
Get parental consent for any children appearing or participating in the video, ensuring that parents or guardians are fully aware of the nature of the competition, and the subsequent use and display (including online) of the video entries by ReelLIFE SCIENCE, NUI Galway, our partners and potentially the media and general public (e.g. sharing the videos via Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
Step 4: Submitting your Video
To submit your video to ReelLIFE SCIENCE, you will need to upload it to YouTube and send us the link via our online Application Form (form for schools; form for groups/clubs) before the submission deadline of October 19th 2018.
It is important to note that Video Privacy Settings should be set to 'Public' so your video can be viewed by our judges and the general public. You can find lots of information in the YouTube Help Centre about privacy settings, how to upload videos, supported file formats, etc.
Click the 'Parental Consent received' tickbox, to acknowledge that consent has been received for all necessary participants, as outlined above. Completed consent forms do not need to be submitted to ReelLIFE SCIENCE, but to complete the application process you must acknowledge that, where required, they have been completed and received.
Click the 'Agree to Terms & Conditions' tickbox, to acknowledge that you have read and agree to the competition Terms and Conditions.
After you click submit, you should receive an acknowledgement message and a confirmation email to the address provided. After the competition, all participants will receive a Certificate of Participation to download and print and a ReelLIFE SCIENCE Digital Badge issued by NUI Galway's Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching.
Winning videos will be announced during Science Week 2018, and you can keep up-to-date via our Twitter (@ReelLifeScience) and Facebook pages.

Review of the food at the Maui Hyatt Regency on Kaanapali beach in Lahahina, Maui Hawaii. Son'z at Swan Court restaurant. Umalu, Halona Kai and the Poolside Grill at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort.
This duck has apparently escaped from the
menagerie in the lobby
and is looking for a 4 star lunch!
Let me start off by saying that all the Maui Hyatt restaurants serve good food. They are all somewhat expensive places to eat but no more so than in any other tourist area.
You can find less expensive food that is just as good by going into Lahaina but you would be giving up the convenience of eating at your hotel.
Also, the cheaper eateries will not have an ocean view.
Son'z at Swan Court serves a breakfast buffet each morning.
This is definitely worth the price if you want a traditional breakfast as most of the restaurants on Maui island do not serve breakfast. The few that do will be crowded and Son'z is no different.
The Hyatt Regency Maui Resort contains about 800
guest rooms
and has only 2 restaurants that serve breakfast.
Go as early as you can. Tiny and I went down to eat after sleeping in and the line was not only out the door but up the stairs.
Beware the omelet station.
There aren't enough cooks working it. You could end up waiting quite a while for an overcooked omelet. Be sure to sample the fresh fruit. It is locally grown and can't be beat.
If you go to Son'z at Swan Court for dinner, try the seafood.
There was one thing that disappointed me. The Hyatt in Maui has a photographer roaming around taking pictures of diners which they later try to sell to them for $20. I hate this on thecruise ships and I didn't like it any better here.
Umala is the Hawaiian word for a gathering place for shelter and nourishment. What a lovely name for a restaurant.
The food is the same dishes you will find at most American restaurants on the mainland only with a Hawaiian twist. The menu features fresh, Maui-grown produce.
Eat whatever you want for lunch but try Da Bomb for dessert. This deep fried pineapple-coconut ice cream treat is served with fresh berries and whipped cream. If that were not enough, they drizzle honey over the whole thing.
Da Bomb gets my vote for best dessert on the island.
Umalu overlooks both the pool and the ocean. You can also see the islands of Molokai and Lanai.
Halona Kai is the coffee bar in the lobby of the Maui Hyatt Regency. It overlooks the koi pond and garden.
This is a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee. Or espresso. Or latte, etc. You can also get a giant cinnamon roll or muffin to go with it.
The barista there is friendly and funny.
You will pay about $50 per person to have dinner here but the portions are large and the oceanfront setting is romantic especially after dusk when the tiki torches are lit.
The Huli Huli chicken (Hawaiian barbecue)is good and pairs well with the Maui onion rings.
Cascades Grill at the Maui Hyatt Regency also does a good job of preparing steak. I love a good steak but am almost afraid to order it at a place I haven't had it before so this was a pleasant surprise.
I don't eat sushi so I can't comment on that.

The Drums of the Pacific Luau is one of the best luaus on Maui. The festivities take place, each evening, on the spectacular grounds of the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort on Kaanapali Beach.

Anexis Ease Past Balkans
veröffentlicht am 15.12.2011 - 09:34 Uhr geschrieben von anakintm3
Seems that number two is significant to our Counter Strike: Source squad lately. After two losses out of two matches in the two few weeks, versus top tier teams - CKRAS in the final of ESH Buffalo Challenge and mTw in the EMS, our CS:S team faced eSports Balkan squad in the final match of the ESL Major Series groupstage.
The match was settled to take place on the streets of de_inferno, with the teams clearing their minds and rifles to what was supposed to be a great match, the one that was announcing the final team from group C that will proceeding to elimination stage.
Team eSports Balkan were marked as the dark horses prior to the start of the tournament and didn't start their venture really good as they managed to lose versus both mTw and Team GAMED.de in the first two matches. But then, the shock. They won versus favourites of CKRAS on de_nuke, which was destined to be their strongest map. Although, the Danes was playing without their machine Rene "cajun" Borg who apparently managed to forget his monitor on the train. But the Croat/Serbian mix proved the haters when the played a great match versus NITROSE, where they had a comfortable lead, but due to their unexperienced players, the Frenchies have drawn the way a took one point.
Anexis, on the other hand, won their first match versus GAMED.de with ease, but they could resist two favourites of CKRAS and mTw, losing both games. Team NITROSE was disqualified from the tournament so any outcome versus them wasn't really bringing any benefit to our team.
So, the final match saw the Balkans, who seemed quite on form prior to the match, boosted with the huge win over CKRAS. And on the other side, Anexis eSports who were the clear favourites for this game, but still needed to prove it. Furthermore, it's not irrelevant to say that their practice match on de_inferno ended with a draw, so we were really in for a treat.
Unfortunately, according to the team sheet, Team eSports Balkan couldn't gather five regular players on their roster, so their manager had to play as a stand-in. Nevertheless, the Balkans managed to put in some good performance, even though the Finns played the match with a relative ease, securing the 16-10 win and advancing to the playoffs.
It remains to be seen what does the future hold for our players and will they manage to cause some problems to their opponents. We surely wish them all the best in the future competition, hoping will do a few upsets.

I've had a bit of a lifestyle change this year when it comes to eating - I still love my cakes and chocolate, but I'm trying to keep them for occasional treats rather than everyday snacks. I've been trying to eat healthier, and I'm slowly coming around and actually enjoying healthy food.
Today I faced one of my big fears - cooking with wholemeal flower and bran! I found a Bran Muffin recipe and tweaked it a bit to make it extra healthy - so here is my version, and guess what?!? They taste delish!!
1¼ cup wholemeal flour (you can use normal flour here instead)
1 tsp baking powder
1¼ cup baking bran
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg
1 large tablespoon golden syrup or honey (I used honey)
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 cup milk
* plus sultanas or walnuts & apricots or blueberries or cranberries... (I used dried cranberries)
Mix flour, baking powder, salt, bran and sugar together
Beat egg well, add soda in milk
Heat butter and syrup

Southern blacks, who had made a good start on building new lives in the South, were now left to fend for themselves. Southern whites, who again took control of their politics, were almost as disunited as Northern Republicans. Was the New South to be an old one of cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco plantations? Or was the New South to be an industrial South? Ultimately, Southern industrialists had little success, and the South remained a troubled agricultural region well after 1877. But Southern whites did agree on something: Southern blacks must be kept poor, disenfranchised, and wholly under the domination of whites. In pursuit of these goals, Jim Crow legislation would put into place a system of racial segregation that evaded the recently enacted Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Looming over this process was white terror and violence. Mired by weak presidential leadership, political scandal, and an unwillingness to adequately stand against Southern whites on behalf of Southern blacks, the federal government, and the public at large, eventually turned away from this unfinished task. As a result, during the last quarter of the nineteenth century (and for many years beyond that), African Americans had good reason to wonder who had won the Civil War.
A thorough study of Chapter 15 should enable the student to understand:
2. The differences between Conservative, Moderate, and Radical Republican Reconstruction, and the reasons for the brief success and ultimate failure of the Radicals
3. The reasons for the impeachment of Andrew Johnson and the significance of his acquittal for the future of Reconstruction
4. Radical Reconstruction in practice and Southern (black and white) reaction to it
5. The national problems facing President Ulysses S. Grant and the reasons for his failure
6. The diplomatic successes of the Johnson and Grant administrations and the role of the presidents and secretaries of state in achieving them
7. The "greenback" question and how it reflected postwar American financial problems
8. The election of 1876 and the effects of the so-called Compromise of 1877 on the South and the nation
9. The response of blacks to conditions in the South following Reconstruction and their efforts to build independent lives in the South
10. The attempts by the South to build a strong industrial economy after Reconstruction and reasons for their failure
11. The methods used by white Southerners to regain political control and the course of action chosen after that was accomplished
12. The origin and implementation of the Jim Crow system
13. The typical pattern of Southern agriculture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the impact this had on the region and its people
1. That the defeat and devastation of the South presented the nation with severe social, economic, and political problems
2. How Radical Reconstruction changed the South, but fell short of securing equality for the freedmen
3. That the constitutional guarantees made to the freedmen during Reconstruction did not survive long into the post-Reconstruction period
4. How the policies of the Grant administration foreshadowed the economic issues of the late nineteenth century
5. How white leaders reestablished economic and political control of the South, while trying to modernize the region through industrialization
6. How concerns of race dominated Southern life
1. Describe the political, social, and economic conditions of the South following the Civil War. Describe the political, social, and economic issues facing Northern Republicans as they went about devising plans for Reconstruction.
2. What were the Black Codes? Discuss the controversy surrounding them. Were they a necessary and realistic response to the situation or a thinly disguised attempt to restore a version of slavery to the South?
3. Compare and contrast Lincoln's plan for Reconstruction, the Wade-Davis Bill, Johnson's plan, and Radical Reconstruction. Consider motives, goals, provisions, and results.
4. What was the crop-lien system, and why was it put in place? What were its consequences? Why might this system be described as a vicious circle?
5. Explain the process of impeaching a president. On what grounds was Andrew Johnson impeached? Were these charges the real reason he was impeached? Should he have been convicted?
6. How did those groups who lived through Reconstruction view their experiences? How would those views be reflected in subsequent historical debates?
7. Discuss the diplomatic triumphs of the Johnson and Grant administrations.
8. Why was the Grant administration so riddled with corruption? Why was corruption so likely to flourish at this time?
9. Why did the North abandon Reconstruction so rapidly? Why was the South "redeemed" so rapidly by white political leaders?
10. What was done to protect the freedmen? What more could have been done? Why was more not done?
11. Evaluate the successes and failures of Reconstruction. What were the successes? How might the failures have been avoided? What groundwork had been laid for the future?
12. What was the "greenback" question? What does the debate over this question reveal about the financial issues and problems of the 1870s?
13. Despite the efforts of New South advocates, why did the South remain a largely impoverished agricultural region of the country as of 1900? What did New South advocates hope to achieve? What changes did occur? Why were those changes not sufficient to bring the old Confederacy into the national mainstream?
14. How was the Southern white political establishment able to evade the spirit of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution? What alternative paths of resistance and accommodation did black leaders devise?
15. What positions did Booker T. Washington take on the status of African Americans? Were his positions reasonable? Should he have adopted different ones? Why or why not?
16. Explain the Plessy v. Ferguson decision. What was its significance? How was it received by whites and blacks in the South? Where did it fit into the Jim Crow system?
1. Identify the states whose electoral votes went to the Republicans and those whose electoral votes went to the Democrats in 1876.
2. In general, what areas of the country voted Republican? Why?
3. In general, what areas of the country voted Democratic? Why?
4. What cash crop was most common in the areas of heavy sharecropping? What forces led to the sharecropping alternative, and how did it work?
5. Why was sharecropping less common in some areas than others?
6. How did sharecropping and the crop-lien system go hand in hand?
These questions are based on the preceding map exercises. They are designed to test students' knowledge of the geography of the area discussed in this chapter and of its historical development. Careful reading of the text will help students answer these questions.
2. What significance did the changing pattern of agricultural residence in the South have for black family life?
3. What changes in land tenure in the South did the Civil War cause? What were the long-term consequences of these changes on Southern society?
4. What political realignment took place as a result of Reconstruction? What regions of the nation did not change their political party loyalty?
5. How did the South remain in somewhat of a colonial relationship with the Northeast and Midwest throughout the nineteenth century? What was the long-term significance of this sort of relationship?

Woman's Exchange Movement
WOMAN'S EXCHANGE MOVEMENT. Started in 1832, the Woman's Exchange movement is one of the country's oldest continuously operating charitable movements. Numbering nearly one hundred across the United States in the nineteenth century, Exchanges were fashionable shops where women who had fallen on hard times could sell their home-produced merchandise on consignment. Exchanges combined elements of charity, cooperation, and retailing, and serve as early examples of utilizing the voluntary sector for quasi-commercial activity.
In the antebellum years, only two Exchanges are known to have existed. The first, the Philadelphia Ladies' Depository, was established by many of the city's elite women to provide a discreet and anonymous employment alternative to harsh conditions "fallen gentlewomen" faced in the industrial workplace. After the Civil War, the movement quickly accelerated across the nation. Fueled by notions of self-help and economic independence, the Exchanges became available to women of all classes to sell their home-produced merchandise. By 1891 more than 16,000 consignors nationwide sold merchandise at Exchanges.
The Exchanges offered both the consignors and the "lady managers" the opportunity to exert their entrepreneurial flair. The working-class consignors often exceeded the industrial wage and could create a market niche by selling specialized items such as needlework or edibles. The middle-and upper-class managers benefited as well by becoming retailing executives, a position formerly off-limits to women of their social status.
The movement provides an early example of women's efforts to legally incorporate their voluntary organizations and to collectively purchase commercial real estate. In addition to retail consignment shops, many Exchanges offered boarding rooms, vocational training, workspace for self-employed women, and tearooms, which often became well known.
In 2001 twenty-eight Exchanges are in business, primarily on the East Coast. Of this number, eight are the original nineteenth-century Exchanges. The others were formed in the twentieth century. Most Exchanges today are affiliated with the Federation of Woman's Exchanges, an umbrella organization started in 1934 to provide cohesion to the movement.

While food (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) is the gas that allows our bodies to run (macronutrients), we also need oil, in the form of micronutrients (from vegetable and fruits) or else our engine will fail.
As depicted by this apple. The one of the right shows our cells when nourished properly with whole foods, while the one of the left shows our cells rusting as they do on a daily basis.
Every time we exercise, train, workout – whatever you want to call it- it causes oxidative damage (the apple on the left side) to our healthy cells (in fact every time we breathe we create rusting from within known as free radical damage, oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species. About 2-5% of available oxygen is converted to free radicals but it's increased about 10-20% higher when we exercise).
Free radicals attack your cell membranes, proteins (your building blocks) and your DNA and if not neutralized they will attack the mitochondria which can't repair themselves (and you won't know about it). Without repair your mitochondria shuts down and so does your energy (you also will have more inflammation (which you won't be able to notice in your heart and tendons, pain and age faster).
I'm sure you've all heard of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), it's the pain that shows up about 24 hours after a workout – it's the continued free radical production at the cellular level in the muscle.
Some people take Ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory which has been shown (McAnulty Steven R. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise – July 2007) to INCREASE oxidative stress in the body. Therefore this is not a solution nor recommended.
Some people take Creatine (Journal of International Society of Sports Nutrition) but it too has been shown to be harmful as it induces oxidative stress and decreases antioxidant capacity.
Some people take vitamins and minerals (which are synthetic isolated vitamins – think multivitamin or singles C, A, B etc.), and these synthetic isolated vitamins are doing more harm than good. "A growing body of evidence indicated detrimental effects of antioxidant (vitamin) supplementation on the health and performance benefits of exercise training". (The American Sports Journal of Sports Medicine – Dec 2011).
We do not have a vitamin deficiency we have a WHOLE FOODS deficiency. "A variety of fruits and vegetables remains the best nutritional approach to maintain optimal antioxidant status."
Whole foods work synergistically as Mother Nature intended it to be. We need more raw, non-GMO, whole based vegetables and fruits in our diets.
Get Yours TODAY!!!
If you are experiencing pain, you could have tendopathy (fraying of your tendons) or muscle weakness or fatigue (another sign of inflammation), you are in need of proper nutritional supplementation.
How many servings per day are you getting?
We all need Nutritional Protection because although it's recommended to get 10-13 servings PER DAY of vegetables and fruits and 16-18 servings/day if you exercise to preserve your potential for future gains for your performance; we are falling extremely short of this.
Our systems work best with a variety of vegetables and fruits to get all of the phytonutrients that we need. Phytonutrients work synergistically in our bodies to protect us from free radical damage.
This is why I have aligned myself with Juice Plus. There is no other company that offers a raw non-GMO salad bar in a capsule or chewable. There is no other company that offers a kid's free program with adult purchase. There is no other brand company that is this thoroughly researched. Juice Plus is not a vitamin, it is WHOLE FOOD.
Sure I was skeptical (I'm already healthy why do I need it. I eat fruits and veg, why do I need it), but after reading the 19 years of research (double-blind placebo) on this company & listen to top peditrician Dr. Sears and countless others, it made me take the leap for myself and my family and I have never turned back from taking Juice Plus.
"Juice Plus helps reduce permanent oxidation to proteins during intense exercise, allowing the body to adapt to the benefits of exercise without long-term damage to proteins." – Medicine & Science in Sports Exercise – January 2009 (Top Journal in the World) (Gold Standard Study, randomized, double placebo study).
Lastly, Juice Plus holds the honor of being NSF certified which means any athlete can take it and it will not contaminate their urine. It's an expensive and credible certification used by the NHL, NFL, NCAA, NBA etc.

Grocery store competition in my neighborhood has increased ever since I moved into the area where I now live. It used to be that we had only four stores; a Vons, Ralphs, Albertsons and a small independent store called Jim's Market. Since then, the local Target and Walmart hav established themselves as grocery stores and Trader Joe's, Smart and Final and Sprouts have built new stores. Population during the time has stayed constant or maybe even dropped a bit.
Yesterday, Albertson announced they are closing. I'm not surprised. They did it to themselves. They failed to understand that customer behavior has changed and failed to specifically target one specific customer category.
So let's examine this a bit:
- Jim's market continues to be the successful friendly neighborhood store and master butcher.
- Trader Joe's focuses on a limited range of mostly high quality organic produce, many with their own brand.
- Target and Walmart sell national brands at discount prices
- Sprouts devotes a lot of space to pick-your-own nuts and snacks, and positions themselves as some kind of farmers' market
- Smart and Final are for bulk purchases
- Vons made shopping a luxury experience with prices to match
- Ralphs remodeled and made the store cosy and warm and also expanded their range to more ethnic and "unusual" products
Albertsons stayed in the 1970s. They tried to be the middle of the road grocer. Not focusing on anything, while bathing their customers in cold hard fluorescent lighting.
The latest competitive addition was the opening of the Sprouts store. When they did, I spoke to the manager at the local Albertsons. He said they were not worried at all by the competition and said they would meet it with selling only "Choice" beef quality at lower prices and that this would make consumers line up. I shook my head as this showed how out-of-touch with customers he was. First, beef consumption is sharply down as consumers make more healthy choices, second, consumer awareness of the various beef grades is low. And to make it worse, they did not even promote this attribute, relying solely on stickers on the packed meat.
The lesson to learn, of course, is that you need to pick your customers and focus on delivering to them what they want to buy, in the environment they want to buy it. Move with the times.....
With warm shopping regards,
Per Sjofors
