Waching daily Jan 31 2017

Hello, I know I'm late to the hype train.

I saw La La Land for the first time yesterday, and I literally cannot stop

thinking about this film.

I am absolutely in love with this movie.

If you've not seen it yet,

really... please... please go and watch it.

It's so good and i'm going

to talk about it now because I have all

these thoughts in my head and I just

need to put them out and *aaaaaaah*

I watched it twice yesterday: I went to

the cinema and then I could not stop

thinking about it for the rest of the day.

So I think it was almost midnight

I started watching it again and I'm so obsessed...

Obviously as it's only been one day since I saw it,

this review is going to be quite

emotional and emotionally centred.

I have so much, I wrote all of this... just... so.... *emotional moan*

Okay! I'm going to divide this video into two parts basically.

First i'm going to give a kind of

*mostly* spoiler-free review

discussing the different themes, so not really the

plot itself... That's going to be quite short.

Then I'm going to talk more in detail

about why i love it and obviously it's going

to be spoiler heavy and stuff so PLEASE go

see La La Land if you haven't yet, it's so good...

SO I watched dodie's [gotta keep that lower-case branding] video on La La Land

And she divided it into different

themes from the film and I thought that

was a great idea i'm going to steal that!

I havent picked the same themes exactly

so it should be a bit different... hopefully.

For me, the main themes are dreams, success vs. fame,

letting go of the past, kind of...

Hollywood and music of course.

I'm really trying to keep this as spoiler-free as possible.

It's both, in my opinion, an hommage and a

critique of the Golden Age of Hollywood

and I think it really hits home because a lot of us have

grown up with these films.

So it's very nostalgic but it also has a twist on it.

All i'm going to say about the story...

There are two main characters, each

with an individual dream. They meet as

they're trying to achieve these dreams

and they try to achieve together.

Also, the music is great....

That was a review.... Just watch it, PLEASE, it's so good.

Now onto the juicy stuff: talking about the

film itself. SPOILERS!1!11 So if you haven't

seen it go see it!! *shh* Don't watch this please.

I want you to watch it please, it's so good.

It's also online...

I'm not condoning watching things illegally but just saying....

As I said, the themes are dreams,

success vs. fame, letting go of the past, Hollywood and music.

I didn't include love in this list... It's definitely a big part of

the film but if you removed it,

the message would still be the same so

in my opinion it isn't exactly a theme, but love

definitely plays a big part in the story, obviously.

The main theme: dreams!

As the film is built upon these two

characters, you really see two ways of

achieving your dreams - both Mia with

wanting to become an actress and Seb

with starting his Jazz Lounge.

We can really see how different things can affect how

dreams will be carried on for the rest of our lives.

For example, Mia's aunt plays a

huge role in what she's wanted to become.

And when she used her aunt as an example in The Fools who Dream

When she says "A bit of madness is key to give us new colours to see",

you need to go through all these troubles and things to achieve your dream,

a big message from the film.

Next theme: success vs. fame.

We see through Seb and Mia two really

different ways to achieve your dreams.

From Mia's point of view, doing it for her

child-self, and her aunt as well,

always keeping that in mind when going forwards.

Seb on the other hand fluctuates between wanting to achieve different things.

he has the main dream of having to

plunge but the ways of getting there

change a lot of what you want to do

perfectly see the complex which is

happening between me and said there's

also have another think I'm inside my

during the argument seem

it really doesn't know what you want she

does a little kind of felt that for a

moment which me and criticise the bar

but in my opinion even if he's like

doing all these things which are history

he always had the dream in mind what I

find is very important to do if you have

a dream that you can take detours and

you can go off the top but as long as

you have that mainstream in mind all the

way along that's what's important

I definitely don't completely agree

before but there are other ways to

achieve that without playing music but

she doesn't like it's definitely not

license plate has been just giving up

going through hell together as he still

had with main goal line this whole

argument really makes you wonder like

what is your own definition of success

this is doing something in your field

something with you enjoy but that you're

expected to do specific shown in this

quote from the argument

this is a dream guys like me they worked

their whole life to be in something that

was successful that people like I want

to especially with guys like me you can

always compare yourself to others and

pay the top for yourself but sometimes

you're maybe not really living up to

your dream your existing but people are

expecting you to do this is supposed to

be about 30 her she is not fitting in

spite of all that's all she wants to

break free

she doesn't care about other people

think she just talked to John

Superfriends achieve things and let go

of everything that's imposed upon her

that's all i have right now for the

customers the same i told you this is a

very well construction it was asking

then migraine stuff and want to share

university student thing together and

letting go of the past and Hollywood

there's a connection is we're both said

to me I know that you cheaper dream they

need to let go of the past and in this

case the relationship it's really kind

of waiting for you question for your

priorities are and what you personally

won't like we're still not necessarily

thing that you have to always put your

dreams first before other people but in

their case of versed on me and that was

what was that for button it really is

for you to make the decision not to

saying your dream should be more than

most important that

that's not the message at least in my

opinion this brain goes to the ultimate

montage scene of like oh my gosh oh my

gosh 444 seen my finger is a plate

what this element to it but that's not

the main purpose of the scene on polish

I don't know of that part of the film

it's mostly given a Hollywood you view

on 13 would have been had been told in

the film let me elaborate it's this

there were all the key events of me is

like leading up to her instead of

putting off the first 24 she said

getting an apartment with him covering

job performing her play and then the

addition after they have broken up with

the event still have taken place just

this point she's doing them with said

like going to parents and guardians the

natural lesbian they're all events that

take place that's not a lie and self but

this have all these event but there's

one place between and out there making

the film about me is like filled in all

the blanks with what viewers expect to

see and what they want to see this goes

on like in the montage and fight them on

terms of movies i mean these things

likely happen but with me as a husband

like her real husband not so and that

leads up to the point where she comes

and visits said lunch with her husband

and can be talking about the logo

oh except the logo for me he's not

holding on to the past but he's

acknowledging that me help them get

there and then but not of the end plate

of such sorry the full makes me very

emotional there looking out for each

other and their knowledge and the

they've gotten to this point partially

back to each other thoughts

it was also very important for them to

go under separate paths and puts up to

achieve your dreams so all types back

together to dream dream dream dream

Melissa dreamless of all the next thing

manifested in music oh my go the music

in my opinion is not a main seen the

phone but is definitely plays a huge

role

and obviously just gonna keep going

through the tracks separately starting

off with the mother they are some

literally the entire film thumbs off and

one song and dance beautifully and 21st

wasn't sure it just feels like they kind

of Hollywood cliché but so much more

and definitely touches on the struggles

of achieving the dream Thomas beautiful

so that's so beautiful please go see you

like are you watching this album they

want to watch it again like this week

sometime because there's so many more

thoughts which are going to come

this is all very basic i know i just see

it yesterday for the first time so

mostly very emotional someone in the

crowd all my golf but from the songs

it really doesn't make you feel that

Hollywood dream and hope and it just

leave it so well I'm not music like head

for as you can probably help but it's

just so good and it makes you feel loved

the emotions such a good son charge of

the drums and trumpets having some rocks

into remember it convey the idea of like

guessing that's all

afterwards and going after your drink

with me tell me creepy so I definitely

want to have discussions that because

this is all very wrongly I know so much

they haven't learned about here and then

basically doing these videos pretty much

been me and the team so beautiful so

beautiful

not really about them finding each other

more than rising together and really

take over the world going for that

training and taking steps to achieve us

this time staying here such along

no automatic own literally just makes me

cry every time so gonna close to go

through this one

yeah just customers that Hollywood dream

so well

all the songs top a very similar theme

in my opinion dream which obviously that

only dr. the next song which is cool to

drink this all the phone lead-up to the

media that really of the embodiment of

never letting go to your dream going

after them and inspirational like I

don't know before I wrap things up

because we're going to and criticism

because despite me being very most all

have already seen a few days which

should be little and i'm also gonna

reply to a few things that other people

said which I don't agree with less talk

talk them below

I need to stop looking at the viewfinder

there's something on pictures of the

songs like not really being memorable

enough iconic of usually happen musical

first of all I disagree i love the music

in this film definitely logs grounds

like other musical musical stopped into

films because that was not really wonder

is for me it's not on musical makers

into a film or even a musical the

hospital to be so more Phil looked at

using music to convey certain things its

own thing they do agree however the

things that for example Donald relations

that the opening score and the love

music didn't really feel ground enough

in my opinion if the opening scene has

been grandiose had all these Broadway

singers it would have really emphasize

the realness of said Mia this is the

response to do the only said that it was

kind of you know that phone if everyone

else that really do voices and they

didn't I don't agree with up for me

personally popping that contrast between

seven media who played by actors who

aren't trained singers so they can

definitely good thing but they could be

anyone's just thought it'd be nice to

have a contrast between the background

characters which will have beautiful

voices

like wow how ground where a musical 17

me and who would have been much more

humble down to earth again finally last

thing slightly problematic

I guess I'm having fun with so much good

job and not include that many people

color specifically main characters have

been honestly said that be interesting

color i could it be nice

what's your opinion pushes down below I

have made up my mind completely 53 feel

like with a shame

ok let's rock around the question of I

enjoy it so well it really have inspired

me like it's quite difficult to those

that may be but this film really have

like given me new hope they don't want

to work hard and set up things aren't

perfect

things aren't like in the Hollywood film

things take effort and takes like

struggle and having to let go things to

achieve your dreams and by the way I'm

one thing have i don't quite agree with

of ideas like needing a dream

Charlie if elected videos about those

but so important like you can change

your dreams in the middle of your life

you don't have to keep the thing green

for your life anyway

music so good such an emotional story

haven't talked that much of a seven the

actual story like their love story but

just to help each other grow and so it's

so beautiful he goes to get it happen

and your portion is the Walshes should

have seen inviting you've only told me

family functions by memory card is

really close to running out of space i'm

going to have to leave you know thank

you for auction

give me your opinion the on all along

down below I really loved it

maybe maybe that share your opinions

also share some good leaders double o ok

goodbye

-------------------------------------------

Inside Lens - Game Preservation, the Quest [1080p with multilingual subtitles] - Duration: 28:01.

Inside Lens, a special documentary series

featuring the works of international filmmakers

in Japan and Asia.

This episode is directed by Marie Linton.

Marie is a French correspondant who covers a wide range of topics,

including current affairs and Japanese and Asian culture.

Game Preservation: The Quest (pixel art animations by Daisuke Amaya, 2016)

Video games appeared in Japan in the early 1970s.

But it wasn't until 1978 that Space Invaders triggered a revolution.

Hundreds of video game arcades opened across the country.

The game marks Japan's sensational arrival in the global video game industry.

One year later in 1979,

personal computers were being made in Japan for the first time,

and along with them, tens of thousands of creative video games.

In 1985, a plumber with a big black moustache became an international icon.

Nintendo's Super Mario ushered in the era of home entertainment consoles.

Then in 1994, Sony released the PlayStation.

This technologically advanced console

sent game arcades and PC games into decline.

In 2011, the inconspicuous founding of the Game Preservation Society

marked a new turning point in the history of Japanese video games.

The society is the brainchild of Joseph Redon,

a French citizen who is passionate about Japan,

and Takuya Fukuda,

a surgeon, who not only repairs peoples' bodies

but also old video games.

Their Game Preservation Society consists of 45 fellow enthusiasts.

It's a small organization with a big aim:

saving video games from the 1970s, 80s and 90s from extinction.

Joseph REDON (president and co-founder, GPS)

Time works against preservation.

And the life cycle of video games is also very short, very quick.

Anything that is stored on magnetic tape

has a lifespan of only a few years,

a lifespan which barely goes beyond 20 or 30 years.

Takuya FUKUDA (board member and co-founder, GPS)

Should we forget the old stories our grandmothers told? Of course not.

All those children stories have been passed on across ages.

It's been the same for the preservation of movies and music.

It's natural to want to cherish the things we loved in our childhood.

Tomorrow's generations will tell us if this makes sense or not.

Chapter 1 Collecting Video Games

Nagano Prefecture

Hunting down old video games

usually involved travelling around the country

in search of all those dying computer shops

that most certainly were about to dump their stock or slide the key under the door.

We also receive donations from collectors themselves.

Kazumi TAKAI (arcade game collector and distributor, Takai-Shokai)

I collect games from local candy and coffee shops,

or from arcade game centers that have gone bankrupt.

All those games come from many different places.

One by one I've collected, repaired and stored them here.

If those games disappeared, how would we know they ever existed?

That's why I'm doing my hardest to preserve that culture and pass it on.

The country's most impressive collection of arcade games

can be found tucked away in the countryside of Nagano Prefecture.

Game distributor Kazumi Takai started gathering old video games in the 1990s

after realizing how popular the games had become in the United States.

Enthusiasts there already had a name for their hobby.

They called it: "retrogaming."

Takai repairs and rents retro games.

Joseph Redon sometimes visits this Ali Baba cave of sorts

in search of games he can't find anywhere else.

I wonder how many arcade boards you have here?

Each shelf of this size holds a hundred games.

So there must be around 3,000 boards.

Are those 3,000 boards in working state?

Yes. They come with their manual and are ready for rental.

These game cabinets are in very good shape.

Thank you very much.

This is my favorite game.

It looks like it's in perfect condition.

Can I play?

Please, go ahead!

Here's the switch.

This is one of the very first Japanese vector games.

It's a Sega game.

We're used to seeing pixels on our screens.

But this game is entirely made with vectors.

Arcade boards from the 1970s tend to rust from the inside.

Yes, that's right.

They're getting worse one after the other.

Arcade boards from the 1970s are already badly damaged.

Many of them don't work anymore.

To help preserve the games,

Takai often entrusts them to the Game Preservation Society.

This time, Redon will be taking away The Tower, an arcade game from 1981.

Here is The Tower.

The cassette is inside.

This game is very saught after among those who know it.

They want to play it again at all cost.

Once the game makes its way back into the arcades,

a lot of people will be happy.

Chapter 2 Repairing and Preserving Video Games

Setagaya, Tokyo Game Preservation Society HQ

I've brought it with me.

It's the very rare The Tower.

It's the large cassette version.

We can't play on this format.

Since we can't do anything with that,

first we'll need to preserve and convert it.

Part of it is unreadable, but it's all fine here. It will be ok.

We have to filter the data and adjust the sound volume.

In the worst case, we'll have to copy-paste the working fragments.

The aim of preservation is of course to save the product itself.

But it's also about storing a digital copy

in case the game were to disappear.

Inevitably we'll come to a point where the tape, the disk or whatever format will cease to work.

Joseph Redon has been passionate about Japanese video games

since his youth in the French Alps.

In France, especially in the 1980s,

there wasn't a village without a church or a bar,

so there wasn't a village without video games.

80% of the video games we had in France were Japanese.

When he moved to Tokyo in 2000,

the French native was shocked to find that retro games

were left to languish within an inclusive community.

Although video games were a big part of "Cool Japan",

they were considered a subculture.

So with Fukuda, he founded the Game Preservation Society.

Its members are not only system engineers

but also salarymen, librarians and doctors,

many of whom are retro game collectors.

These anonymous repairmen

restore the old rusty devices and their magnetic tapes.

They also bring back to life machines

like the DECO Cassette System

that allowed arcade owners to load multiple games into a game cabinet.

Yoshimasa KUSAKA (founding member, GPS)

This drive normally reads magnetic tapes.

It doesn't work anymore, so we're now trying to identify the problem.

It's fragile here too.

A piece is missing,

and that one is problematic.

Only one part is left,

and it's half broken.

We need to fix it.

No, I'm afraid it's unsalvageable.

When I first started this preservation project,

I had no information on this system at all.

I didn't even know what it actually looked like.

Its existence was almost like an urban legend.

Chapter 3 Let the Gamers Play!

Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture

Members of the Game Preservation Society reintroduce the games they repaired to the general public,

at amusement arcades and in such unusual places as at this supermarket in Niigata Prefecture.

Hello, it's me!

Here it is as planned.

Here's the DECO Cassette.

I brought the complete system.

It's not enough to preserve the games.

You have to be able to play them.

Who'd be interested in a book if it was only displayed in a museum?

It makes no sense if you can't open and read it.

These are video games, and I want to repair them in order to play them.

How old is this game?

I think Burnin' Rubber was released in 1982.

Here, another retrogaming organization

called All Japan Cocktail Cabinets Fans, has organized an event

where children are invited to play games that are much older than they are.

Are you avoiding it? Really?

Jump! Yes that's it! Good.

I made a mistake.

Naoki IKEDA (participant)

I don't dislike modern games.

But they owe a lot to older games.

I'd wish people would acknowledge their importance.

I enjoy playing recent titles,

but the simplicity of retro games is really one of their qualities.

Today's video games, somehow, need to draw on what's been created in the last 40 years,

so that they can not only evolve, but also reinvent themselves.

Because it's not easy to innovate every time, to create something new.

There comes a time when you loose inspiration,

and I believe this is what's happening in today's industry.

Chapter 4 Recording the Play

Akihabara, Tokyo

Jun "QtQ" KITAMURA (scorer)

Yes, that's the one! It's been a while!

Maybe 30 years I think.

Jun Kitamura alias QtQ belongs to what is called the "scorer" community,

a group of hard-core video game players

who challenge each other on the most difficult games of the 1980s and the 90s.

Including The Tower.

That was close!

30 years ago, we were in primary or junior high school.

On our days off, it was usual for us to head to arcade game centers.

In candy shops for children, you could also find a videogaming corner.

I'd hang out and play there with my friends.

There've always been scorers in Japan, ever since Space Invaders,

and possibly even before.

And that's precisely what encouraged the players, at the time, to try and push the games to their very limits.

This social aspect of arcade games is also very interesting.

Niigata Prefecture

As a tribute to the scorers community and the golden age of video games,

the Game Preservation Society wishes to record the gameplay of some of the best players.

Takuya Fukuda, a technical geek and passionate hacker,

invented a device that can do just that:

a prototype gameplay recorder.

We want to preserve the gameplay of veteran players.

It's still a prototype, but that's why I built it.

It's inserted right between the game board, the controller and the monitor.

Usually the board is directly connected to the devices.

But in this case my prototype is in charge of everything, from power supply to controls.

This way, it can record the gameplay and replay it afterwards.

I'll switch it on.

It's no fun discovering a game that you have no idea how to play.

It's no fun if you don't understand it.

That's why it's also important to preserve the way it's played.

I develop this device for the benefit of future generations.

Let's say there was only one person on Earth still capable to play this instrument.

Well, you'd want to record it.

We could imagine a technology that would not only allow to record the sound

but also record the way we push the keys.

The timings, the pressure...

We could in fact replay the same thing, without the musician.

In order to test his new tool on other platforms,

Fukuda meets again with the members of the All Japan Cocktail Cabinets Fans.

First, he connects his prototype gameplay recorder.

Tadashi HIJIYA (founder and 1st member, AJCCF)

That should do it.

Then in replay mode,

the game is supposed to run through exactly as it was played

without the player touching any gear.

Do you recognize your play style? I can recognize mine by watching the playback.

It seems to work for now.

See, it runs very well with shooting games

because they're using patterns.

Ah, I see.

You're gonna die just here.

There, I'm dead.

Chapter 5 Dreaming of a Game Library

Setagaya, Tokyo Game Preservation Society HQ

We're not done yet.

Come on, let's go!

Heave ho! Heave ho!

One, two, up!

During their free time and with their own money,

the members of the Game Preservation Society archive the games they've gathered.

They are currently the only ones in Japan doing this tedious work.

Not even the game makers themselves keep a record of their own games.

Keigo MATSUBARA (founding member, GPS)

If someone or a government organization had taken care of it,

we wouldn't need to do all that.

But for now, there's no proper structure,

so someone has to do it.

I believe it's a job for a museum.

It's an impossible task for an individual, because in the long run it's too expensive.

It's not a solution.

Without a source of funding, preserving video games is not possible.

That's why I would like to see a public institution look after it.

Each game that enters the archive of the Game Preservation Society

will escape falling into oblivion.

Such as Galactic Wars 1,

a Nihon Falcom's PC game from 1982

inspired by the Star Trek TV series.

But sometimes rescuing a game comes at a price.

Redon personally acquired this game from a collector for approximately $4,000,

a hundred times more than its original price.

This one means a lot to me.

I spent 15 years looking for this game.

Why? Because it's the first game by a company I'm particularly fond of.

This is their very first game. There are very few copies left around obviously,

because they were directly manufactured in the shop

when a client wanted to buy one.

Which means they're all hand-crafted.

The organization dreams of creating a great archive of Japanese video games,

a complete library comprising games from the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

So far, they've collected some 20,000 games

out of an estimated 35,000 from that period,

half of which are PC games

considered to be the most endangered.

Our mission, through our preservation work, also consists in rehabilitating

a number of game creations that we consider important.

Moreover, we want our archive to be accessible for future research,

so that journalists, writers, researchers and historians

can bring to light important works from the past,

just like it's done in music, in literature...

Today it's a pressing job, an important and urgent task.

But it will also serve in the future.

Harajuku, Tokyo Ota Memorial Museum

It might seem pretentious to compare video games with Japanese prints, with ukiyo-e.

I can't compare the artistic values of each genre.

The similarities lie more in the ways ukiyo-e and Japanese video games

became famous in the West and then slowly disappeared from Japan.

Video games and ukiyo-e are quite alike.

In the past, ukiyo-e were often used as advertisements, like the ones in our newspapers,

or in our fashion magazines.

When they became outdated, they were deemed useless.

However, since their paper was of good quality,

people would use them as wrapping to protect merchandise that were shipped abroad.

This way, foreigners who enjoyed their exoticism started to collect them,

then ended up considering ukiyo-e as an art,

while the Japanese threw them away.

Although ukiyo-e was held in high esteem and preserved abroad,

public awareness in Japan was too late and almost nothing was left.

Hence the miserable situation of ukiyo-e in Japan nowadays.

I think the Japanese have a different sensibility, and that's for the best.

There are certain games which only the Japanese can make.

I believe it's important that they go on making them,

and that they can draw on their own history.

Indeed games are a heritage,

and I believe that heritage must remain in Japan for the Japanese.

And thus, indirectly, for us too.

Because if they create magnificent things, we too will benefit from them.

Thank you for watching this documentary.

RUSSIAN POEM - НИКОГДА НИ О ЧЕМ НЕ ЖАЛЕЙТЕ, Андрей Дементьев - Duration: 5:18.

Never don t regret...

Never don't regret of your life in a pursuit That once happened, could ever be changed. As a note of past, throw the sadness as old suit With that past you asunder the fragile thread.

You might never regret what to you would be happen. All the things that can't happen in time. If the only your soul lake wouldn't be darken, And the hopes, like birds had in soul the prime.

Spare widely spread all your mind and your kindness. Even if you get all - all the smiles in response. Someone genius be, someone loose all the heartness Don't ever regret, troubles bring only noise...

Never, never regret of your no one thing - Of your later beginning or sudden your crowl. Let the others the flute to play or sing, But they take all the songs just from your pure soul.

Never, never regret of your no one thing - Not about lost days, not about your love. Let the others the flute to play or to sing, You'd be heed by your soul somewhere above.

The Usage of an Advance Beneficiary Notice of Noncoverage (ABN) - Duration: 5:27.

This video will educate you on the usage of the advance beneficiary notice of noncoverage,

also known as an ABN.

You must issue an ABN when you expect Medicare may deny payment for an item or service due

to one of the following:

The item or service is not considered medically reasonable and necessary for a particular

patient in a particular instance, or The care being provided is considered

custodial care.

An ABN related to hospice care is required due to one of the following:

The beneficiary does not meet Medicare's "terminally ill" definition, and hospice

services are still going to be provided.

The hospice level of care is not reasonable and necessary to manage the beneficiary's

terminal illness, and hospice services are still going to be provided at that level of

care.

Items and services are being billed separately from the hospice payment, such as physician

services and are not considered reasonable and necessary.

If the services are considered reasonable and necessary, an ABN is not required.

Home Health Agencies must issue an ABN for patients that are not homebound, or do not

require skilled nursing care on an intermittent basis.

An ABN is also required for Outpatient Physical Therapy services performed on or after January

1, 2013 when the services are in excess of the therapy cap amounts and do not qualify

for a therapy cap exception.

Common reasons that Medicare is likely to deny items or services as not medically reasonable

and necessary include: Care that is considered experimental and/or

investigational or "research only".

The service is not indicated for diagnosis and/or treatment in the beneficiary's specific

case.

The service is not safe or effective.

Medicare has been billed for a quantity greater than allowed in a specific period

for the beneficiaries corresponding diagnosis.

To prevent unnecessary denials and ensure you are issuing an ABN when necessary you

should familiarize yourself with the National Coverage Determinations and Local Coverage

Determinations.

Medicare providers are not required to issue an ABN when the item or service is never covered

because it is statutorily excluded from coverage or in most cases when care is provided but

fails to meet a technical benefit requirement.

For example, the service requires certification and certification was not obtained.

However, an ABN may be issued as a voluntary notice to assist the beneficiary in making

an informed decision.

Some examples of statutorily excluded items and services include: personal comfort items,

routine physicals, foot, eye and dental care, and cosmetic surgery.

In addition, services that fail to meet a technical benefit requirement are also considered

excluded.

Those may include: ambulance service provided that is beyond the nearest appropriate facility

or self-administered drugs and biologicals.

A voluntary ABN serves as a courtesy to the beneficiary in forewarning them of a potential

financial obligation.

If a voluntary ABN is issued the beneficiary should not be asked to choose an option box

or sign the notice.

Providers are not required to bill Medicare in these cases.

Instead you may bill the beneficiary directly unless they have a supplemental insurer who

requires a denial from Medicare.

If the beneficiary does require a Medicare denial, you should submit the claim to Medicare

with the GY modifier.

We will discuss Modifiers in a later video.

In order to determine if a service falls within a non-covered benefit under Medicare, access

the Medicare Physician Fee schedule tool located on the National Government Services Website.

Select Fee schedule look up on the NGSMedicare.com home screen.

In the drop down menu select Medicare Physician Fee schedule pricing.

Select the Specific to Fee Code radial button.

Next select the date of service the service was or will be provided.

Type in the Procedure Code. For this example, I will be using CPT 92015 determine refractive

state. Select the region where the service was provided.

Click Search. This is the Medicare fee schedule for 92015 and

you'll notice that all the amounts are zero. If you scroll down the page you can choose

to expand the page to view additional details for the procedure.

You will notice the status of this procedure is an N.

You can locate what that means exactly on the fee schedule assistance page.

To locate the fee schedule assistance page,

scroll down the page and locate fee schedule assistance.

Here you will find helpful information on the fee schedule.

Scroll down to the index and select column 4: procedure code status codes and as we scroll

down to status N it states that this is a non-covered service by Medicare.

Easy Make Up Tutorial Video - Duration: 17:34.

Hi everyone, so today I thought of doing a make up tutorial as some of you may already

know, we lived in an island for about 7 months.

So, during that time I barely wore any kind of make up.

So, I've never been as comfortable in my own skin until that time came.

But of course, we are no longer at the beach.

We are in the city and specifically The Woodlands in Texas.

And so, you know, it's different not wearing make up at the beach and different not wearing

make up in the city.

If yo are like me, who don't really like putting on a lot of make up everyday; here is a tip

on just how to put make up to look decent but not too made up.

So I'm just going to use really very very simple items, like for example a concealer.

Right now this one I'm using is by Maybelline.

So, it's not really the expensive kind of make up.

So, something that's going to be affordable for everyone.

I use, uhh, well, this is from The Philippines, I don't know if we have this brand here; and

I'm in the U.S. but it's left over from what I have brought to America.

And it's NIchido.

And it's basically an eyeliner in a brush form.

I like it because it kind of stays put and it's pretty much water proof.

I use a mascara and this is called Better Than Sex.

And it is kinda good because you don't need a curler for this.

And I use Into It's eyeshadow make up which is actually can double as a bronzer as well.

That way you have less items to worry about.

So really I just use pretty much these items and of course I've got my trusty brush set

that I have left over from when I was a news anchor.

And I thought it would be handy to just kind of keep it.

So I'd just start off with light make up and that's pretty much just the concealer.

And I don't actually put it to my entire face, only on areas where I feel like I need some

coverage.

So, it's almost as if I'm putting on a very very light foundation.

And once again, this kind of make up routine takes less than 10 minutes.

So if you're like me and you don't have the time or don't have the energy to spend 30

minutes putting on your make up, well, this is one way to do it.

Although I do like the occasional time I do get to spend putting on make up for special

occasions.

You know, that's a rare treat.

I wouldn't want to spend 30 minutes to an hour putting on make up though.

I mean that's just a lot of time.

Plus I'll tick off my husband having to wait for me all the time.

So I'm using the eyeshadow set as a bronzer.

As you can see I'm just brushing it.

And then I'm just following my jawline.

You can do this to your face so that you can see where your jawline's at.

So right now if I do that, that's basically where my jawline's at.

Do that on the other side, and then after you've done both sides; you simple go ahead

and follow the sides of your forehead.

So that would be this side and then this side over here.

Basically what you want to do is you want to have your forehead and the front part of

your face pop up and create a shadow onto the side.

This gives that more oblong shape of a face.

Which I think is the most sought after, why I don't know, but that's what people say you

should have.

More of an oblong face, maybe because if you have too much of a round face, it kind of

makes you look a bit heavier, so it's to slim down the face; at least a technique.

There you go.

Now normally, I don't usually do the whole you know nose contouring thing but just to

do it for you who may want to do it; simply follow your eyebrow and just do this.

But leave a little bit of a line right there where your nostrils kind of flare out.

So do the same thing.

There you go.

Some of you might need a lot more.

Same thing that I'm using for the make up.

What I've noticed as well is that when I was working with CNN Philippines is that the make

up artists usually wet their make up or they dip the brush in a bit of water.

And I found that to sometimes be useful and sometimes to not be useful.

So, if you'd like to try that, you can go on ahead and do that.

I'm going to do that.

For example, I'm going to use this.

It's water from Jack in The Box, which is old water from yesterday soI'm dipping a little

bit of the tip of the brush and wetting the same palette I've been using as a bronzer

to kind of just fill in my brow.

I did have my eyebrows tattooed, but I feel like sometimes if I'm going to put on some

make up, it's nice to just define it a little bit.

So, not too much, just a little bit.

So, a little bit on the side.

There you go.

And then now we do the make up per se.

What I'll use is the same palette.

I'll use this lighter brown one.

Lighter brown goes on my entire lid.

Once again, we are trying to aim for a natural look.

A look that makes you look presentable but not too made up.

Doing it on the other side.

As you can see I'm just really dabbing it in there.

And this can actually go much quicker if I wasn't explaining and talking at the same

time.

Like normally when I put on my make up I just go whoosh whoosh whoosh.

(LOL) And it's done.

And as you can see it just gives it a little bit of color.

Okay so that's using this kind of brush.

And then the next is going back to the brush I used for my eyebrows.

Dabbing a little bit of that in water and then using the third color, which is the darker

brown.

And kind of just brushing it on the side.

Same thing.

Now it's okay if it doesn't come out as even as you would like it to be that's why you

do it one step at a time.

You know, I'd like to think that putting on make up is kind of like drawing, where if

it doesn't come out perfect initially but then kind of do your remedies.

You add color here and there, a brush stroke here and there and then basically blends it.

As you can see, this is a bit darker than this one so I need to just kind of fix it.

So, I'm just going to go ahead and do that.

As you can see I'm just following the outside for the darker shade and just kind of blending

it in.

And to make it stand out a little bit more I going to use the darker shade.

So that's this one.

Again with a wet brush, I go and use it like an eyeliner.

Same thing on the other side.

There you go.

And doing the same thing with the bottom part.

Alright, opps (LOL).

So right now it just gives it that color in the eyes.

Once again we're not trying to look too made up.

We just want to look presentable.

So, now's the time to do the eyeliner.

And you really just want to do this from the middle of your eyeball all the way to the

side if you want a wing tip sort of look.

So, I've never done this before in front of a camera on a computer which is kind of weird.

But I'm going to try.

Yeah this is weird.

I'm going to need a mirror.

(Laughs) Hold on.

There you go.

I got a mirror right there.

You're going to do this.

And it make take a while to kind of get the stroke right but you know it's just practice.

Kind of like with drawing.

If you've never drawn before and you start trying to draw a tree, it's a bit tricky.

But if you keep practising then it becomes easier.

Same thing with making sure that it's perpendicular.

That it is symmetrical to each other.

Obviously, you don't want one eyeliner up here and then the other side down there, because

then that would give you asymmetry which is the opposite of what beauty is supposed to

be.

A beautiful face it supposed to be perfectly symmetrical.

Kind of like Natalie Portman's face or Tom Cruise's face for men.

So there you go.

Is it symmetrical?It looks symmetrical enough.

So as you can see adding a bit of the wing tip ont he side already gives my eye a little

definition.

But it doesn't look too made up.

And so now, I'm adding the mascara.

Once again, I don't even use a curler. because I've had a bad experience of using an eyelash

curler where I curled my eyelashes and after squeezing for a few seconds; when I unsqueezed

I noticed that my eyelashes had been cut and it was stuck onto the curler.

So I literally cut off my eyelashes.

So, I have been traumatized by it.

So we're just trying to do the eyelash now.

So all I do is just try to apply it.

Not too thick, not too thin.

There you go.

And you know you're getting too thick when it starts clumping up.

So right before it starts clumping up just stop.

And you can always go back to it after anyhow.

So there.

This one's got some curl because of the mascara, and this one doesn't.

It doesn't really show much because I don't have much of eyelashes.

Other girls are really lucky with really thick eyelashes.

But as for me when I was working as a news anchor I had to wear those falsies, every

time I went on camera.

Just to make my eyes pop my eyes open wide.

Thick eyelashes really open up the eyes.

For example, Indians have really expressive eyes.

Because they usually have thick eyebrows, thick eyelashes above and below their eyes

so it kind of makes their eyes pop up.

Which I love about my Indian friends.

So there you go.

It's a very very subtle look.

So now, we're going to work on the blush.

And for the blush on, I mean you can just use pretty much whatever blush on you've got

but I have here a set that also is a souvenir from when I was a news anchor.

it's a Mac 3 palette, 3 plate is that what you call it.

I rarely use this because it's very 80's, but I use this a lot and and this is pretty

much the bronzer, blush on portion of this make up kit.

So, I usually jump from using any one of these.

Depending on what color of lipstick I want.

Since I want a natural look.

I can just stick with a little bit of a pinkish sort of glow.

So I'm going to stick with these 3 actually.

I'm going to combine it.

So, just brushing it there.

And just applying along my cheek bone.

Or the apples of my cheeks rather.

Just to give it a bit of a glow.

There, so you know, it's a very very slight difference that you see, but once again if

you saw me earlier right, it already makes up for it.

So, the trick here is not to look too made up because it's for an everyday sort of look.

The trick is just to look presentable.

So, just keep dabbing that on, until you feel like you've had enough.

You can put a little bit on your chin, on your nose for that pinkish glow.

And I think we're done with that.

And I'm very very bad with lipstick, but if you need to put some lipstick on I can suggest

that it basically is all about what dress you're going to be wearing.

So I'm always in my gym clothes.

So, I don't usually wear lipstick because it would really be weird if I wore red lipstick

with work out clothes.

So, pretty much this is what I already do.

Sometimes I put some lip gloss on.

But, this is already the natural make up look I think that I have.

And without talking once again, this usually takes me between 5 to 10 minutes to do so

I can be ready in a jiffy as soon as it's time to head somewhere.

So, hopefully this helps and in my next video, I'll show you how to curl your hair.

Because that's also one of the things I really like to do.

That's for another video.

I hope that you enjoyed this video.
