Fill Out Your Medical Forms, Harlem

It's nice to know Harlem dudes, that now there is software to fill out medical forms. Check out the ub-04 software and soon you'll be filling out medical billing forms like there's no tomorrow. I don't think it is a secret that there is a tremendous amount of bureaucracy in the medical and dental fields in filling out the forms to private insurance companies and Medicare and Medicaid, in order for the health professionals to get paid. And if you live in Harlem and the Bronx you know there there are a tremendous amount of games both by patients and health professionals over how to pay and how to fill out the forms and on whether the forms get paid on time or not. It is worth your time to check out the ub04 claim form and see how useful this can be. You literally get a standard form that you can fill out on your computer and use it for your records and to make insurance claims if you are a health care professional. Part of the trick is that you are creating templates to use to avoid repetitive tasks. You can click to submit multiple claims and can even submit claims totally electronically without printing the papers at all. That ought to be something you can advertise about that you are saving a tree by not printing out all of those forms. Another useful things is that you can use these forms as input into MS programs like Excel, Word and Access. Make your billing process as electronic as possible, and doctors, dentists and nurses, you will have more time to devote to your patients.

Fun and Games at Hostos College, Bronx NY

Vanessa Gonzalez, co-curator of Hostos Longwood Gallery exhibit

The latest exhibition at the Longwood Gallery at Hostos College is entitled Toys and Games with a Twist. The exhibit opens with the playful Fukuwarai set by the artist Reiko Kawahara. It is a large earthenware face, and viewers get to stick on the facial features like eyes, nose, mouth, and moustache. People stick the earthenware forms with a sort of gum. It could be a bit frustrating, since if one did not use enough sticky gum, the earthenware feature would fall down and shatter on the floor. It’s definitely a hands-on exhibit. Paintings included in the exhibit had the arresting quality of combining painstaking realistic craftsmanship with a fantasy theme. In the painting, Marble Eggs, 2007, by Douglas Newton, a pink table cloth shows through a wine glass, showing the odd focusing of light through the glass. To the side is a rabbit, frozen in time, and in the foreground are the two large marble eggs that are the focus of the picture. Next, in the painting, Sometimes They Like You Back, 2007, by Gigi Chen, realistic young men and women face toys that still look playful, but also lifelike, large and threatening. A funny scene is created with people running from the toys, and yet others embracing toys. It is not clear who is playing with whom. This is, I guess, part of the twisted part in the Toys and Games exhibit title. The twisted part of toys is further examined in issues of beauty and sexuality in the multimedia installation, Mizamerica: Here She Comes, by Hector Canonge. Lines of undressed Barbie Dolls are lined up against the wall under a series of colored lights representing a black-and-white American flag. In the first row, the dolls are all white-skinned, while more recent rows have more dark-skinned Barbies. The implication is that the beauty pageant became racially integrated, though the change is only superficial More edgy exhibits follow, including an electrically animated toy with a man in shorts on all fours, and a woman restraining him with a leash. This is followed by several small fertility goddess statues that seem to have a dual purpose. So the Toys and Games exhibit does have a twist that can be slightly shocking though usually funny and thought provoking. The exhibition is curated by Juanita Lanzo and Vanessa Gonzalez, in partnership with Curate NYC, a juried exhibition and online marketplace that exists to heighten exposure and opportunities for New York City visual artists. Also on display were the portraits of Michael Ferris, a former winner of the BRIO (Bronx Recognizes Its Own) Award. Mr. Ferris was giving advice to upcoming contestants for the BRIO awards that include cash prizes. Artists can apply for the 2012 awards, with a deadline of January 27, 2012. Please see http://bronxarts.org for more information. Longwood Gallery is located inside Hostos College at East 149th St and Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY.

The Apple Flap and You

Hey Harlem dudes, we know the truth behind the Apple Flap-- everything in the United States and the West is made by slave labor from China and so on. It's not about Apple, it's about how the British Financial Empire and Prince Philip want to kill you. You are useless, you do not produce, so it is easy to kill you, my Harlem, Bronx, American, and Western friends. Time to put the system through bankruptcy like LaRouche says and go back to building infrastructure, and then help the Chinese colonize Mars.

Get Your Store On Harlem

If you want your brick and mortar store to succeed you need all the proper displays and props. It's worthwhile to find out about the wide selection of retail store supplies at Retail Resource, a great Web site. Mannequins, both in adult and children sizes help set the tone at a clothing store. Jewelry displays can be important when you don't need a whole body display but only the head and neck.A slender fireglass hand could be perfect for displaying bracelets and watches. Even little things like table clothes and backdrops are important to set the mood for serious shopping and the seeking of glamor. I liked that they have a whole category for innovation. to select the backdrop you need or that splash of color to make a whole section of your store work. You'd be surprise how a banner of yellow daisies can evoke summer and femininity. A verticle canvas of an American flag pattern can get Harlem and Bronx dudes all excited for a Fourth of July sale. Hey Harlem dudes, the great thing that I love about this site is that there are no small order fees and there is a 100% money-back guarantee. If you are doing business in the small stores and tiny shops of Harlem's 125 Street, you know that a small order may be all you need to decorate your entire shop.

Just Saw the State of the Union

I just saw the State of the Union address, but it was not the one by Obama. It was the one by the geezer himself, Lyndon LaRouche. Itt reminds me of the title of the book, the Tragedy and the Hope. The tragedy to avoid is imminent economic collapse and nuclear war. The hope is to organize the USA, Russia and China to lead mankind in the colonization of the planet Mars.

Noisy Workplace

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

I really have the workplace from hell.  It is at a prominent law firm in new York City that begins with a "C," that's all I can say.  The management at this law firms has the funny idea that their space is as precious as any square foot in Manhattan, although they own floors and floors.  Consequently, there are no dividers for each of the individual computer spots.  There is just too much noise in this place.  I want to have at least a real cubicle, is that so much to ask?  That is why I am going to enter the Pimp My Cube Contest (PMC contest) and I hope that I win it too.  The grand prize is up to $1200 of a package to improve your office, either with technology, furniture or an entertainment package including an espresso machine and a mini-refrigerator.

Another thing is that I am still working on a Windows XP computer.  I'm not saying that it is horrible, and I know that half of the computer world is still on Windows XP, but I think that the time for Windows 7 or even the soon to be Windows 8 is approaching.   If you face similar problems in your office i think you should enter the PMC Contest too.  The proper office you gain may give you a chance to work properly without a huge number of interruptions.  I know how it feels.  Remember that the contest period has already started and will end January 31st at 23 noon, which is less than a week away.  Have your friends check out the PMC videos and vote for you, increasing your chances to win.

First Fridays at Bronx Museum

Get in the groove Harlem and Bronx NY dudes and dudettes, with a free and fun Black History show at the Bronx Museum, at 1040 Grand Concourse at E 165th St, Bronx NY. It may be fun, it may be crazy, but it is a good excuse to get out and get out of the cold. Friday, February 3, 2012, 6:00pm until 10:00pm FIRST FRIDAYS! The Black Power Mixtape Film screening honoring Black History Month THE BLACK POWER MIXTAPE 1967-1975 mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm material shot by Swedish journalists who came to the US drawn by stories of urban unrest and revolution. Gaining access to many of the leaders of the Black Power Movement—Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver among them—the filmmakers captured them in intimate moments and remarkably unguarded interviews. Thirty years later, this lush collection was found languishing in the basement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olsson and co-producer Danny Glover bring this footage to light in a mosaic of images, music and narration chronicling the evolution one of our nation's most indelible turning points, the Black Power movement. Music by Questlove and Om'Mas Keith, and commentary from prominent African-American artists and activists who were influenced by the struggle - including Erykah Badu, Harry Belafonte, Talib Kweli, and Melvin Van Peebles - give the historical footage a fresh, contemporary resonance and makes the film an exhilarating, unprecedented account of an American revolution. 6:00pm DJ Revolution spins on the 1’s & 2’s (Soul, Classic R&B, Hip-Hop) 6:45pm Welcome Remarks 6:50pm Screening of The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 (100 min) 8:30pm Q&A with film co-producer Joslyn Barnes (Louverture Films) 8:45pm Performance: GIF (HABANA/HARLEM®) 9:00pm Performance: Latasha N.
