Examining the rage of a social media rant | Sword and the Script
From the article:
"Ranting has become cool. You can earn a reputation by tearing down someone, something or some brand.
For the believers in that notion called "personal branding" the rant has become something of a logo, a tagline or a calling card. However, rants are a lazy writer's crutch: they are usually heavy on emotion and light on facts or research. Usually, a rant is a gamble that snark and sarcasm will be mistaken for intellect and insight."

Hi, I consider myself a newbie when it comes to bicycle mechanics and I have decided to try drop down bars on my hybrid tourer which now has mtb style components.
I hope someone can help me out with a few questions...
My bike has a 9 speed Deore rear and Deore triple front derraileur, shimano V brakes and the chain links say HG. My current plan is to buy a used Ultegra STI brake lever/shifter set and keep the rest of my drivetrain ... will it work?
Well, that is actually the only question I can think of at the moment... any advice is welcome.
edit: I just needded to mention that I searched the forums before posting and found this same topic has popped up a few times. However I didn't quite find the answer Im looking for. Hope Im not annoying anyone

Kinect Sports and Joy Ride Trailers Roll In
Written Tuesday, September 07, 2010 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
We've seen Kinect a hell of a lot lately, with more from Microsoft's motion-tech at Gamescom following the big unveiling at E3 this year.
Now, in case you haven't seen enough already, we've got a trio of Kinect trailers for you to check out. Two for Kinect Joy Ride and one for Kinect Sports.
Two of the trailers are like those horrible Wii adverts with catalogue model families laughing and jumping around their living room, while the third is a simple promo trailer.
Watch all three videos here and make your own mind up as to whether you want to join those cheesy-faced families in their living rooms when Kinect launches in November 2010. We do.

Over the years I have owned 9 taillights that turned off over a bump. Thanks to the forums I know the Radbot 1000 could do this too.
I fixed four of my old bump shut off lights. One thing they had in common was that the batteries bounced and lost contact for just a fraction of a second. I put foam under the spring coils that held the battery to strengthen the springs on some, but most had batteries that with just a couple of wraps of tape, would be a tight fit in place and would not bounce anymore.
Right out of the box if I smacked my new radbot against the heel of one hand I could get it to shut off. So.............
There is a thin wall on one half of the radbot that goes across the middle of the batteries when the two halves of the light are screwed together. I cut a small section of a thin road bike tube and put it across the batteries where the wall hits the batteries to pinch them very tightly when the light is assembled. I have not been able to get the light to go off by hitting it, but I have not used it on a bike yet. I will try it tomorrow on a bike with 23mm 130 psi tires. Maybe it is fixed but I really need to put some miles on it to be sure.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Play that injured Russell Westbrook is seen hundreds of times every NBA season
You see it hundreds of times every NBA season. A coach motions for his player to cross half court before requesting a timeout.
And almost every time, a defender takes a swipe at the ball as timeout simultaneously is called.
Why half court?
Sideline out-of-bounds plays are a staple in the NBA. Teams run multiple plays out of a half-court set.
Because teams are granted the ball at the 28-foot hash for timeouts called in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and/or any overtime period, in-bound plays frequently determine the outcome of games. Therefore, sideline OB plays are practiced constantly.
Why swipe at the ball?
Because it's not a timeout until the official says it's a timeout.
Players who assume timeouts and haphazardly handle the ball frequently have lost possession before timeouts actually are granted.
Denver's Andre Miller and Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers are two players notorious for stealing the ball on such occasions.
Midway through the second quarter of Game 2 on Wednesday, Houston guard Patrick Beverley swiped at the ball. In the process, the left side of his hip collided with the right knee of Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook had never missed a game in his NBA career but is now sidelined indefinitely after suffering a lateral meniscus tear in his knee.
"That's obviously terrible when someone like that goes down with an injury like that," Rockets forward Chandler Parsons told the Houston Chronicle. "You never want that on anybody. I was completely shocked because he finished the game.
"Patrick tried to steal the ball before he called time out. It's not a dirty play at all. It's unfortunate he got hurt, but it's not like Pat did it on purpose. He was trying to help our team win the game. It wasn't malicious or anything. Pat just tried to take advantage of him calling timeout and not being ready."
Houston team members insist the collision was incidental, while many on the Thunder side considered it a dirty play.
"A play like that, that always happens," said Houston guard James Harden, who was Westbrook's teammate in OKC for three seasons. "In the game of basketball, when the opponent thinks a team is going to call time out, a guy is going to go for the steal. That happened in so many occasions, not just last game."
Beverley called Westbrook one of the top three point guards in the NBA, but was unapologetic for what happened.
"A lot of people do it throughout the league," Beverley told the Chronicle. "Anyone who knows me, I don't go out to try and hurt anybody. I play at one speed. That's fast. … I was just trying to make a play on the ball before they called timeout. A play like that is unfortunate right now. No intention at all to try to injury anybody."
Beverley smiled and said he was unconcerned about the abuse he endured on Twitter throughout Friday.
"That type of pressure doesn't get me," Beverley told the Chronicle. "The pressure I used to get growing up just walking to the corner store without something happening to me, I could really care less about any Twitter like that. It was hard going to school growing up some mornings. I can let this one from Twitter be."

Park programs bear the brunt of reductions that net $1 million in savings; city courts could be next.
By Harold Gwin
YOUNGSTOWN — The city's projected $3.5 million general fund deficit for 2010 is now down to $2.5 million.
That's the new figure presented to city council's Finance Committee Monday by Mayor Jay Williams and David Bozanich, city finance director.
Williams said the administration was able to trim the deficit through a series of spending cuts and revenue enhancements.
The additional revenue will come from the V&M Star Steel construction project to the tune of about $250,000 this year, Bozanich told the committee.
Williams said every department under his control has been trimmed to 2009 spending levels or below, but the big cut comes in parks and recreation. The general fund allocation of $600,000 to $700,000 for the department from the general fund has been eliminated, as has a $350,000 allocation from the city's Community Development Agency, the mayor said.
The city is still looking to form partnerships with private entities, preferably nonprofit groups or organizations, to provide summer playground programming as well as run the Stambaugh Golf Course and the North Side Pool. Borts Pool on the West Side likely won't open this summer, he said.
City parks and playgrounds will be open this summer, he said, telling the committee that the administration intends to have some details on its summer partnership plan to present to council before final passage of the budget, which must occur no later than March 31.
The cuts leave the administration and city council looking for ways to trim $2,529,908 from a general fund budget of $37,337,352, Bozanich said.
"That's the problem that's facing this group right now," he said, noting that the administration will have some suggestions to make to council as it begins its budget hearings.
Williams declined to reveal what those suggestions might be, saying he preferred to wait until the presentation.
He did, however, tell the committee that the municipal courts could be one source for substantial savings.
The legislative and administrative branches of city government need to work together to persuade the judicial branch to trim its budget by $500,000 to $600,000, Williams said.
"I don't want this to be adversarial," he said, explaining that he prefers to approach the courts in a cooperative fashion.
The city is already in a battle with the courts over the courts' request for larger and more secure facilities. There is also a pending study on the advisability of consolidating the city and county courts.
Jamael Tito Brown, Finance Committee chairman, said council will review the documents presented to the committee and then schedule budget hearings.
Youngstown has had a structural deficit for years, Williams said. Efforts have been made to trim operating costs through the elimination of jobs and consolidations of operations, but, without cutting to the point of shutting down, the city will walk a budget tightrope this year, he said.
The cuts are necessary! However when I was growing up there was not a single city/state funded pool where I lived. All of these pools required private memberships or daily fees. Moral of the story we need to get ride of the non-essential commodities that this city is trying to operate, and focus on strengthening the essential agencies that is needed to provide a safe, secure, educated Youngstown. Leave the parks and commodities for private businesses to pick up. They may find ways to charge small fees for their services, but most likely a business will not run a negative balance on their assets!

Hello pokecommunity! So far my hacking progress has been going pretty smoothly (thanks to the many great tutorials on here), but I'm kind of stuck at something right now: to bypass the limit on the amount of map names you can have, I decided to be smart and simply name all routes in the game PALLET TOWN, simply setting the option 'don't display name' in the header menu. However, when I enter the map, it displays the name anyway! I've tried doing this from both sides (both maps set to 'don't display name') and it still display both names. I'm kind of stumped with this, so any tips how to fix would be greatly appreciated.

Social inclusion is at the heart of our work and the funding enables the most disadvantaged young people in the community to access the Friday Night Project.
Bob Barry, Community Development Officer
Social inclusion is at the heart of our work and the funding enables the most disadvantaged young people in the community to access the Friday Night Project.
Bob Barry, Community Development Officer
"The Your Voice, Your Choice event aims to support groups and organisations that are contributing greatly to the field of community safety and diverting people away from crime and anti-social behaviour. It encourages community participation...(and) gives the groups an opportunity to interact with each other and to learn more about all of the positive work that is taking place locally."
Gwent Police Constable Carmel Napier
"Before I started here my attitude was lousy, I was aggressive and in danger of committing crime and losing education. This project has changed my life and has given me the skills to gain employment"
Beneficiary of a project supported by the Gwent High Sheriffs' Community Fund
The Gwent High Sheriffs' Community Fund aims to provide a safer and better quality of life for the people of Gwent by supporting community-based initiatives which mentor and inspire young people in order to help reduce crime and enhance community safety.
Managed by the Community Foundation in Wales, this Fund grew out of the Gwent Shrievalty Policy Trust, and is a testament to partnership in philanthropy: the current, past and future High Sheriffs steer the Fund's Panel working alongside Gwent Police and the Community Foundation in Wales.
"I am very honoured to have been appointed High Sheriff of Gwent by Her Majesty The Queen. It is the oldest Royal appointment in the land, reaching back over 1000 years to Saxon times. The GHSCF brings together people who support the office of High Sheriff and many of the small, local charities active in Gwent. It provides a hugely effective way of promoting and supporting those charities who work for disadvantaged young people and helps build stronger, safer communities for us all. During my year of Office, together with the five local authorities I wish to invite the big companies in Gwent to support and become involved with the GHSCF; there is so much more we all could do to build safer and happier communities and offer greater hope to the young, particularly giving a special focus on the empowerment of women and girls."

Maple & Pecan Ice Cream
Originally buttermilk was the leftover liquid from churning butter. It has a tangy flavour with very little fat content. In this recipe I'll show you how easy it is to make a fresh buttermilk substitute using soya milk and a little apple cider vinegar. With my mind made up about making an egg-less buttermilk ice cream, I looked around in my cupboard to see what else I could add for flavour.
Whilst on holiday in the Canadian Rockies, I came across some authentic maple syrup which I just had to buy. Did you know that there are different grades of Maple syrups? Typically Grade A (Extra Light, Light and Medium) maple syrup is intended for everyday use and is the kind most commonly found in supermarkets. However, you can also get Grade B (Dark) maple syrup which has a stronger depth of flavour more suited for use in cooking. It's also a natural sweetener or there was no need to add additional sugar to this recipe. More information on how maple syrup is made can be found on Pure Canada Maple.
When I think of maple syrup I think of maple trees, Autumn and pecan pies. So you can see why I naturally thought maple syrup and pecan nuts were a match made in heaven. Toasting the pecans enhanced their flavour and complimented the slightly nutty taste of the maple syrup.
Surprisingly enough the ice cream ended up tasting like yummy caramel?!
Check out the recipe here.

@Zero Darkness: I noticed you seem to be RPing alone. I don't know how you feel about that, but I personally am worried that you won't have fun if left alone. Would you like me to throw something or someone at your character? It could be Lucy, or an NPC of some sort.

Kenyon Martin has remained healthy and performed well enough to earn himself another ten days on the New York Knicks roster. The veteran forward has played out his original ten-day contract with the Knicks, but the team is reportedly going to give him another one.
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, the team actually hopes that Martin sticks with the club for the rest of the season. However, the Knicks aren't ready to sign him for the remainder of the season because of injury concerns.
Martin didn't play at all this season until the Knicks signed him to the ten-day contract. And even still, he got limited playing time in the first ten-day deal. So far with the Knicks, Martin has played in one game for five minutes. He didn't score any points or pull down any rebounds. But he also didn't turn the ball over.
Martin was once a force in the NBA. He was never really the star people thought he might be, but he was a good player. In his career, he has averaged 13.0 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game. He was thought to be an easy number one overall pick out of college in 2000, but then he broke his leg. He was still drafted in the first round.

The great debate over used game trades rages on…
Sure, GameStop execs support used game trades; it's a huge piece of their business model.
But it's especially nice to see a member of the game publishing elites step up and support the consumer's right to choose.
Along that line, gamesindustry.biz has a multi-part interview with MS exec Chris Lewis, who comments thusly on used trades:
I'm a fan of the [gaming] ecosystem overall. I can see the positive in [used game trades], because I can see that what you then get is more and more people touching, playing, experiencing a game that they may not otherwise have access to.
I think you've got to try and extract some positive from it, and that's undoubtedly a good factor – a positive swirl of ecosystem that results. Clearly it's a reality, and certain retailers are very focused and spend a lot of time on it. It's good business for them.
I think things like premium downloadable content, and that kind of thing, will ultimately play a part in used games – and that's not me saying that it's a great way for us to try and minimise that. I think it will be a great enhancement to the way that people experience games. If some additional content is available via the Xbox Live service, for instance, that further enriches the game experience and might encourage folks to hang on their games for a bit longer.
GP: For showing a pro-consumer attitude on used game trades, we'll toss Chris a white hat…

A recent (Nov 2013) report on content marketing practices in Australia found that 93% of Australian marketers surveyed in the report use some form of content marketing. Only 33% say they're effective at it.
The question is:
Are Australian marketers making the right blend of written & visual content?
- 41% of Australian marketers are challenged producing a variety of content - yet the top 5 content marketing tactics are all the same - written formats.
- Only 2 in the top ten (video and online presentations) are visual formats.

Okay, a friend of mine just got a new Trek 5200 and wants a HRM and Cyclocomputer with an altimeter. Ideally all three in one. I did some research and found Ciclosport HAC4 Heart Monitor/Altimeter/Computer but I have never heard of the company.
The questions I have are:
a) Has anyone heard of this company and have a positive endorsement.
b) Other recommendations? Computer compatability is not necessary. Even just a HRM and CC without altimeter would work too.
Thank you very much. I am hoping to get it for him for Hanukkah.

What an incredible experience Alex and his team have created at Rivera Del Rio! As a fairly regular visitor to the beauty of Puerto Vallarta, I have stayed in a lot of different accommodations over the years. But never have I had such an amazing stay than during my time this past week at Rivera Del Rio. From my check-in welcome in the lobby with a warm smile and cold margarita before being personally shown to my quarters, to the friendly and efficient housekeeping staff, to Alex's willingness to accommodate any reasonable request on a moment's notice to make his guests more comfortable... all interactions were professional, yet genuine and unpretentious. The property is delightful in almost every way, transporting guests to a time of Old Hollywood glamour, while still offering all of the modern amenities and creature comforts (luxury mattresses, top-end textiles and toiletries, perfectly adjustable A/C, USA-configured electrical outlets, etc). Staying at Rivera Del Rio will allow you to see more of the tourist areas from a safe and relaxing setting—a quick 10 minute stroll to the waterfront at the Malecon or Los Muertos Beach, and easy access in even less time to the colorful interior avenues of Zona Romantica with many interesting shops and well-reviewed restaurants, as well as the open air markets just over the foot bridge on the opposite side of the river. Do not hesitate to book here if you are open to getting outside of the all-inclusive resort mindset, or the generic trappings of a more traditional hotel property. Rivera Del Rio is a very special place indeed, for spirited travelers of all ages and lifestyles, and I sensed a team committed to making it even more enchanting in the years ahead.

The architecture and the decor of this place transports you to a different time and place. My amazement and delight grew with every step I took as I entered the place for the first time, and then, over the next 7 days, as I continued to explore it and discover new joys. It's equally suitable for a honeymoon, a solo trip, and a family vacation - a great primer for the kids on various architectural styles, decor elements, eclectic approach, use of color, mixing old and new with great taste. And read to them the tales from 1001 Nights while you are there, for an unforgettable childhood experience. Turned me into a wide-eyed kid, too. Stayed 4 nights in Scarlet room and 3 in Green room. Scarlet has a large accordion door to the private balcony, if you push it to the side, the whole room becomes one huge balcony, overlooking the river. Green has direct access to outdoor pool and bar. Plenty of beautiful large windows in every suite. As other reviews noted, service and amenities are excellent. Location: PV Old Town, 4 blocks to the beach and the Malecon, endless choices for food and entertainment within steps. If driving or taking a taxi, get to the intersection of Jacarandas & Aquiles Serdan. (Make sure you give this direction to your driver, they don't know about this place as it is new). From there, it's a few steps to the unpaved Rivera del Rio where the #106 is located. It stands directly on the shore of Rio Cuale, with live iguanas sitting in the trees. Drinking water: I started with a few sips and progressed to several bottles a day directly from the tap, with absolutely no stomach events. Safety: as single female, had no problems walking to-from the hotel at night.

Prior to this trip I had never visited Mexico, nor had any desire to. I heard about this new place from a friend who said that I needed to check it out... I flew there on a Friday to spend the weekend, and ended up leaving on a Tuesday... it was MUCH too soon to leave! The hotel was amazing, on a tour of it, each room proved to be unique and the variety suited many different needs. Each room was beautiful, and the setup of the property was unique and fun. The location in Old Vallarta is short walking distance from gorgeous beaches, and many great restaurants and bars. You are able to escape the resort atmosphere and feel like you are tucked away in this little gem with the locals. The staff were excellent, great breakfast EVERY morning by Chayo, which they will also deliver to your room if you desire. And Monica, the staff masseuse, is extremely talented and highly recommended. In my opinion, this is the ONLY place to stay in Vallarta, I will be going back very soon!

I stayed at this property over the Christmas New Year holiday and was blown away. This is one of the most luxurious places I have ever stayed in.. you will not believe this place and WHAT A VALUE. Right in Old Town PV and breakfast cooked to order at whatever tim you choose. The beds and lines were the most comfortable beds I have ever had at a hotel and wait till you see the mother of pearl hot tub. The staff was amazing and so accomdating to all my needs. Never would I have guessed there was a property like this in Mexico.. it is a piece of ART!

Wonderful spot - perfect location, walking distance from Beach, but just far enough to be quiet. Staff are friendly, Knowledgeable and efficient. Rooms are glorious. Highly recommended.

Sleep deprivation linked to car accidents
BY Nicola Conville Freelance Journalist
Young drivers who are sleep-deprived are twice as likely to crash while driving, say Italian researchers.
A team at the University of Bologna collected data on 339 students aged 18 to 21.
Researchers asked them about their sleeping habits and any traffic accidents they had been involved in.
Eighty students had had at least one car accident, and of these, 56 per cent said they had driven while sleepy, while 15 per cent admitted that sleepiness was a prime cause of the accident.
The study's lead researcher Dr Fabio Cirignotta says the only safe thing to do if you feel tired is to pull over and sleep for 10 to 15 minutes.

Shawn was great and communicates thoroughly. The car was incredible! I received the car with a full tank of gas. He met me at Grosvenor metro station which was much more convenient for me. We then discussed return arrangements and everything went as planned. I'll definitely be renting from him again (actually already have something in the works). Last but not least, the price is unbeatable! :) Thanks Shawn and Turo I'm definitely referring friends, family, and co-workers.

Great experience with Shawn and the car! Shawn was really flexible with me and that was great because my plans did change a bit and pickup/drop off times ended up being a little different than the original plan. The car was great: super clean, perfectly maintained and with all of the mod cons. The XM radio was perfect to keep us entertained for our long drive; the sunroofs great to keep us cool, etc. The car is really fun to drive... couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A Place of Hiding
A Place of Hiding
Bantam, Mass Market Paperback, 9780553582376, 800pp.
Publication Date: August 3, 2004
An isolated beach on the island of Guernsey in the English Channel is the scene of the murder of Guy Brouard, one of Guernsey's wealthiest inhabitants and its main benefactor. Forced as a child to flee the Nazis in Paris, Brouard was engaged in his latest project when he died: a museum in honor of those who resisted the German occupation of the island during World War II.
It is from this period of time that his murderer may well have come. But there are others on Guernsey with reason to want Guy Brouard dead: his wives, his business associates, his current mistress, the underprivileged teenagers he mentored—any of whom might have harbored a secret motive for murder. As family and friends gather for the reading of the will, Deborah and Simon St. James find that seemingly everyone on the history-haunted island has something to hide. And behind all the lies and alibis, a killer is lurking. In order to bring this person to justice, the St. James must delve into Guernsey's dark history—both past and present—and into the troubled psyche of someone who may have exacted retribution for the most unspeakable crime of all.
In A Place of Hiding, bestselling novelist Elizabeth George marks new territory in the darker landscapes of human relationships. She tells a gripping, suspenseful story of betrayal and devotion, war and remembrance, love and loss...and the higher truths to which we must all ultimately answer.
Elizabeth George's first novel, A Great Deliverance, was honored with the Anthony and Agatha Best First Novel Awards and received the Grand Prix de Littérature Policière. Her third novel, Well-Schooled in Murder, was awarded the prestigious German prize for suspense fiction, the MIMI. A Suitable Vengeance, For the Sake of Elena, Missing Joseph, Playing for the Ashes, In the Presence of the Enemy, Deception on His Mind, In Pursuit of the Proper Sinner, A Traitor to Memory, and I, Richard were international bestsellers. Elizabeth George divides her time between Huntington Beach, California, and London. Her novels are currently being dramatized by the BBC.

A two-year-old child was not injured after climbing in the family's SUV as it rolled down their driveway.
The parents think the toddler took the keys while her parents were asleep, according to the York County Sheriff's Office in South Carolina. Witnesses said the Tahoe came rolling down the driveway across five lanes of traffic. The SUV made it across the road without being hit by any other cars.
Police said when they arrived to the scene they found the Tahoe on its side and an uninjured little girl. Investigators noticed an open door across the street and went inside to find both parents upstairs asleep. The girl's mother, 26-year-old Amy Patty, did not want to discuss the situation and was mad at all the media attention.
The Department of Social Services is investigating the case. No charges have been filed.

HuffingtonPost Blogger Feed for Dr Mark Britnell Good old fashioned elbow grease. My Three Words for Davos this Year tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2015:/theblog//3.6518538 2015-01-22T19:00:00-05:00 2015-03-24T05:59:01-04:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ Currently, more than one billion people lack access to even the most basic healthcare, and over 100 million are pushed into poverty each year through catastrophic healthcare costs. In the last few years the global consensus has shifted significantly from a humanitarian rationale for UHC to a case built on powerful economic and political imperatives. One study I was involved in with our team in South Africa suggests that a one year increase in life expectancy can increase GDP per capita by 4% in the long run, while improved health in the workforce can improve productivity by a massive 20% to 47%. Recent events have also seen countries recognize UHC as an essential component of their future political and social stability. This is a large part of the rationale for the huge investments being made into health coverage in China, Indonesia, Brazil and many other nations. Chatham House, UK, recently estimated that the minimum public expenditure for which basic universal health coverage could be achieved is $86 per person per year. That compares to over $5,600 in Switzerland and less than $6 in Senegal. This demonstrates that money isn't everything - it's where it goes that makes the more important difference. To explore the areas where emerging nations can avoid costly "mistakes" and even leapfrog traditional high-cost models of care, our global team published a report titled, Necessity is the mother of innovation. This report includes the adoption of mobile technology for health; task sharing with patients, communities as care givers as well as new types of health workers; strong primary and community care; and an intolerance of waste at every level of the delivery chain. The next big ideas in healthcare are coming out of Asia and Africa, not Europe and America. In virtually every country where UHC has been advanced, political vision and will have been essential, along with economic growth. Courage is needed to overcome powerful vested interests (which unfortunately too often includes medical representative bodies) and convince emerging middle classes to support a system based on solidarity rather than self. As well as bold government, the private sector also has a vital role to play in rapidly scaling up access to affordable, high quality healthcare around the world. There has been a lot debate about the importance of Public Private Partnerships in recent years, but insufficient attention to the practical realities of getting effective collaborations to work at scale. To help advance the conversation on UHC, KPMG will bring together leaders from government, business and international development to talk about what the private sector is doing to achieve universal health coverage - and how to expand the best of these ideas. Universal health coverage is an audacious goal, but one whose time has come. My hope for the week is that together we can use Davos' unique concentration of ideas and influence to make it a reality for more people.]]> Whole-System Thinking Is Key in the Quality Versus Cost Debate tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2014:/theblog//3.4657408 2014-01-24T06:13:43-05:00 2014-03-26T05:59:01-04:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ Good health - both mental and physical - remains one of the most pressing social and economic issues of our time, consuming the largest share of the world's GDP and growing. Part of the reason for this is that our concept of healthcare has become far too narrow in recent years. We have come to view the role of health systems as fixing people when they become sick, rather than giving them the tools to stay healthy. We delegate problems to hospitals and the clinicians working in them, rather than creatively engaging our communities, public and private organizations to actively promote better health. The simple truth facing the delegates in Switzerland this week is that we need to move away from this mindset and focus our energies instead on how we keep costs down by helping everyone to stay healthy. This key observation is at the heart of KPMG's latest international health report Necessity: The mother of innovation' which is being unveiled at the Davos summit. Based on studies of a number of younger health economies around the world, the Report has identified a tendency for many of them to try and replicate traditional western models - often to their long-term financial detriment. This pressure to try and emulate well-established, secondary care-based models is completely understandable, driven as it is by the changing needs and expectations of newly emerging, influential and financially empowered middle classes. However, our experience shows that these systems often have significant underlying weaknesses compared to those health economies that have stepped back and taken the time to develop new, flexible, community-based solutions. 'Necessity: The mother of innovation' reflects the thinking from over 70 KPMG clients and healthcare leaders, emphasizing that emerging markets which take a whole system approach, using care models and payment regimes that focus on population health improvement, are the ones most likely to be delivering affordable, sustainable, high quality care. These systems are the ones that have spent time looking at care pathways in detail and redesigning them to make the best use of scarce skills and resources. In many cases the most successful ones have experimented with every aspect of system design, including people, pathways, procurement, environments, technology and management. It is becoming clear that this holistic approach to healthcare planning is the sensible direction of travel for those healthcare systems coming to terms with rapidly growing and maturing economies. But what really sets apart those countries and regions delivering consistently high quality care at manageable cost, is a willingness to explore the alignment of funding models and health outcomes. Increasingly, around the world, we are seeing the best value delivered in systems that contain 'activist payers' - purchasers of services, both private and public, who are prepared to use financial and contract mechanisms to shape the behavior of the people providing and using healthcare services. As we all look to reduce the financial burden of caring for our sick without compromising on the quality of care they receive, I believe there are valuable lessons for all of us in the work of these new pioneers. I am forever hopeful that global leaders getting together this week in the shadow of the Alps to discuss the international response to tomorrow's healthcare challenges will agree.]]> World Health Day Highlighted That We All Have Something to Teach and Something to Learn tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.3115122 2013-04-19T08:13:33-04:00 2013-04-19T11:08:40-04:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ World Health Organisation in 1948, World Health Day helps to highlight an area of public health concern each year on the 7th of April. Sharing information on how different countries tackle problems, such as high blood pressure - the theme this year - is undeniably a progressive development. Healthcare systems around the world are under increasing pressure and I believe that the only way we can face up to these challenges is to share experience, in line with this internationalist approach to problem solving. To this end, I was involved with organising a conference in October 2012, which brought together 40 senior executives and clinicians, representing some of the world's largest healthcare organisations from 22 countries, to share insights, ideas and outlooks. While each society faced different population dynamics, disease outbreaks, health and welfare challenges, each healthcare leader was open to sharing and learning from parallel experiences. Inspired by the progressive spirit behind the recent World Health Day, we have decided to pool the findings from the conference and share them with the world in Something to Teach, Something to Learn. Delegates identified five major trends reshaping healthcare today. Firstly, those picking up the bill for healthcare - whether they are governments, public sector bodies or insurers - are becoming more selective and value focused. Re-shaping patient behaviour, with more focus on prevention, is also part of the dynamic. Secondly, providers need to rethink their approach as it is becoming clear that major transformational change may be ahead. There is an imperative to engage patients in new ways so that they become active partners in their care, rather than passive recipients. This factor - the third trend identified by delegates - requires new systems and patient-centric policies. Fourthly, the rise of the 'high-growth health systems', from rapidly developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America, is changing global outlooks. These high growth health systems are innovating fast and lessons can be derived from their experience. Finally, delegates highlighted that sustainable change and better value are increasingly being seen as a direct result of new approaches to integration. Reflecting on the conference, I was struck by the importance of implementing a strategic vision, drawing on the expertise of the hard working people - the most valuable assets - within health services such as the NHS. In these challenging times it is crucial that organizations make enough time to conceptualise long-term strategic plans, not just short term goals. Organizations must focus on patient value and outcomes: on what patients really need and want. We need new ways of working, and a new dialogue, in which the patient's voice is amplified. Leaders who face up to this challenge will look beyond process targets. They will allow space for their staff to innovate and experiment in order to create new models of care. They will empower their teams, collaborate and share information. Recognizing that we all have something to teach and something to learn - in line with the spirit of World Health Day - will be crucial for success in the changing dynamics of the new healthcare paradigm.]]> Putting the Patient's Perspective at the Heart of Healthcare in Africa tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2013:/theblog//3.2908760 2013-03-19T13:38:39-04:00 2013-03-20T11:36:19-04:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ 'Healthcare in Africa' event, I was struck by the importance of putting the patient's perspective at the heart of healthcare systems during this dynamic period of change and development. Calls for universal health cover grow ever louder in Africa, and the NHS is seen as a beacon of what could be created. All over the African continent, countries are experimenting with new care models, often driven through a scarcity of health workers. For example, the number of nurses per 10,000 population in Africa is estimated by the World Health Organisation to be 11 compared to 68 across the European region. Africa carries 25% of the world's disease burden but accounts for only 1% of global health expenditure and 3% of the world's health workers. Patient-centric care is important to all people and the focus, at this time, in South Africa is on access to care, starting with Universal Insurance. In South Africa, a comprehensive National Health Insurance (NHI) system is being developed to cover 48 million people. The NHI is part of a ten point plan to improve public hospitals, infrastructure, the quality and quantity of health workers and reduce HIV and maternal deaths. The government plans to introduce the NHI gradually, given the cost and logistical implications. At the same time, there is significant scope to improve the delivery of care with a focus on quality and the patient experience. Making improvement part of daily work in health care - as opposed to a set of projects - is important. Supporting staff with on-the-job coaching, that provides them with the skills and confidence to challenge the status quo, is also crucial. The Aravind Eye Care System in India, the Narayana heart hospital in India and the delivery of obstetric care with Tecnicos in Mozambique are all examples of innovation in countries where health care is also developing at pace - examples that could help to inform and inspire innovation in countries such as South Africa. A key area of innovation in NHI policy is the re-structuring of primary healthcare. By taking advantage of outreach-type services that already exist, and creating news ones, I believe the rollout of NHI will see a far more community-centred, patient-centred approach to primary care that could improve patient education as well as patient health. The further development of health care systems in Africa, such as NHI, will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the health of millions of people, for generations to come. Ensuring the patient experience is a core value in the development of these new, and maturing, health care systems is an opportunity to truly embed a patient-centric culture. A culture in which patients play an active role in planning their own treatment. A culture in which resources are used efficiently and patients have a voice. A culture in which patients are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.]]> People are the Beating Heart of Healthcare Provision tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.2277670 2012-12-11T12:06:46-05:00 2012-12-13T08:14:35-05:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ Obama-care currently divides a nation and was one of the key differentiators between the presidential candidates in the USA. The future of the Health and Social Care Act is a political minefield in the UK as successive governments have tried to reform the NHS and met with mixed success. Meanwhile China is facing the complexities of increasing healthcare provision, while tackling issues of access. For those of us involved in finding solutions to global health care challenges, it is all too easy to get bound up in the technocratic details of policy and implementation. However we need to get back to first principles and be clear about priorities. At the top of my list is that the most valuable asset in any health service is its staff - its people. In Value Walks, a report on healthcare across the globe, KPMG estimates that in developed countries, health systems may be facing a workforce shortage of over 20% by 2022, as populations age, patient demand increases and the health workforce shrinks because of retirement. Some people say that "cost walks on two legs", but this is a negative, damaging and short-term view. In fact value walks on two legs. This report takes this idea forward by highlighting five approaches that successful organisations have adopted to create a value synergy in which staff productivity improves, work attractiveness increases, and professional motivation blossoms. Buurtzorg, an aged care provider in the Netherlands, is an interesting example of an organisation taking a strategic view of health provision. The Buurtzorg team placed more power in the hands of well trained nurses, encouraged the use of the latest techniques, and let them organise care and place the patient at the centre of their efforts. These moves have dramatically increased productivity while improving clinical effectiveness and morale. When managing a healthcare provider real differences to the quality and cost of patient care result from the design of the clinical care process, the degree of innovation in the business model and the motivation of staff. Working with trade unions and professional bodies can further enable organisations to take a strategic view of their collective position. Having spent 20 years working for the NHS in the UK, I truly believe that successful healthcare organisations are those that have a strategic and long-term focus on patient value; consciously empower healthcare professionals and give them greater autonomy; systematically apply leading-edge business and care process redesign methods; improve clinical and management information so it is routinely used in day to day activities; and have unambiguous staff performance management and accountability frameworks. People are the beating heart of healthcare provision. Patient value is created by dedicated staff caring for patients. To address the potential workforce shortage we must empower staff, motivate healthcare teams and care for those who care for us.]]> Movember and Me: the Global Fight Against Cancer tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.2222881 2012-12-01T05:41:42-05:00 2013-10-16T11:39:01-04:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ Ricky Gervais, Michael Owen, Theo Walcott, Damian Lewis and Patrick Taggart, who are taking part and doing their bit to get people talking about issues men often avoid talking about. Cancer accounted for 7.6 million deaths, around 13% of all deaths, in 2008 according to the World Health Organization and prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. According to Prostate Cancer UK, over 40,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and 250,000 men are currently living with the disease. Since its launch in Australia in 2003, Movember has generated support and fundraising activity in almost every corner of the world, from the USA to Hong Kong and from Canada to South Africa, Singapore, Switzerland and beyond. Finding out that I had cancer had a huge impact on me and my family. I took a long hard look at my life and made some choices to try to ensure my kids would be more secure, whatever was set to happen to me. I also became more aware of the steps I could make to improve my health. The depth of respect and gratitude I have, to the fantastic NHS teams who cared for me during my treatment, is indescribable. I will always be in their debt. Cancer isn't an easy thing to talk about and, as men, we can feel embarrassed to share our health issues. It is all too easy to ignore a health worry, until it becomes a major problem, but the impact can be devastating. That's why I feel it is important to get people talking and thinking about men's health and growing a 'Mo' is part of this. Having lived through this experience, I want to play a role in raising awareness, and in generating a debate on how health services for cancer can be improved across the globe. From healthcare delivery to health service management and post-operative care, I believe there is more we can do, globally, to take on this disease. The more we talk, and share knowledge and experience of best practice from different countries, the more chance we'll have of tackling cancer. Prostate cancer doesn't respect national boundaries and it is a very good job that Movember doesn't either. In an age where mass, social movements are creating change, it is a good job we're doing the same in the fight against cancer.]]> A Healthy China Is an Essential for Global Prosperity tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1763402 2012-08-10T06:17:49-04:00 2012-10-10T05:12:15-04:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ 87% in 2008 and 96% in 2011, according to the World Health Organisation. These changes are likely to have taken about half a billion extra people into healthcare cover - an epic achievement. However, although insurance coverage is broad, it is not particularly deep. In fact, some commentators believe that patients still have to bear more than 50% of care costs. Spending just 5.06% of its GDP on health in 2010, according to World Bank economic indicators, China has been playing catch-up over recent years (average life expectancy at birth of 73 in 2010, according to the World Bank). The share of public expenditure of total healthcare costs increased from 39% in 2005 to 54% in 2010 (similar levels to government expenditure on health in the USA). Private spending accounted for the remaining amount, with a staggering 80% of this latter total coming from out-of-pocket payments. World Bank figures also suggest that private insurance across China only accounts for a meagre 3% of total healthcare spending (China has not granted licenses to foreign private health insurers from entering the market). Individuals can be placed under disastrous financial pressure during times of ill-health. In fact, World Health Organisation surveys show that the incidence of catastrophic medical expenses are significant and an estimated 13% of the population can face financial ruin, or difficulties, due to episodes of ill-health. More generally, it has been estimated that household expenditure on health in China is increasing significantly. Further, commentators often point to this fact as the reason for the relatively low domestic consumption of goods and services by individuals in China (they save for a rainy day), fuelling further reliance on export led growth. In the long term, it is argued, China will need to re-balance this trend if its growth is to be more sustainable and the fruits of economic growth are to be more 'socially shared'. The reform of China's public hospitals is the pivotal issue for the control of healthcare expenditure, improvement in care quality and, ultimately, improved access to decent healthcare. In my recent visits to Beijing, Shenzen and Shanghai, it was clear that there is considerable enthusiasm for these reforms although this is tempered by some anxiety over financing levels and management support. For example, some hospital directors wonder whether the government will pick up the bill. Similarly, there is considerable enthusiasm for improved management techniques but a lack of supply of 'know-how'. I strongly believe that we all have something to teach and something to learn in approaches to the global challenges facing health professionals. Sharing information and examples of good practice will be key to whether the ongoing reforms in China will be judged a success. I have no doubt that China will rise to this challenge with the same determination and focus that has led to its remarkable economic transformation in the last thirty years. It is essential for global health and prosperity that China succeeds.]]> Don't Let Health off the Hook on World Environment Day tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1569309 2012-06-04T18:20:48-04:00 2012-08-04T05:12:12-04:00 Dr Mark Britnell http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dr-mark-britnell/ World Environment Day challenges every one of us to ask what role we're playing in the green economy. While the organisers identify 10 sectors for a greener planet - from forestry to tourism - I'd argue that healthcare systems, including the NHS in the UK, also have a leading role to play. Health systems can do more to fight climate change and shouldn't be let off the hook. There is considerable room for improvement in healthcare's environmental footprint. For example, in the United States the health sector accounts for 8% of total greenhouse gas emissions, making it the second most energy intensive industry after fast food, while in the European Union the health sector creates 5% of total emissions, the equivalent of the region's aviation and shipping industries combined. While climate change has a profound effect on the health of individuals and communities, it's also true that the health sector can do more to help global sustainability and meet the aspirations of the green economy. A recent global business leaders' event on climate change and sustainability sponsored by KPMG drew over 500 leaders from the corporate world, who heard speeches by Ban Ki-moon, Bill Clinton, and Michael Bloomberg, mayor of New York city. Their message was clear: governments cannot solve the sustainability crisis on their own, and business needs to take a lead. Speaking at the event, and listening to the other speakers, I came away with a clear sense that the health industry also needs to play a more prominent role in leading action on climate change. In our recent report we identified 10 global sustainability "mega-forces" (climate change, energy, resource scarcity, water scarcity, population growth, urbanisation, wealth, food security, ecosystem decline, and deforestation) that are interconnected and important in health outcomes. Most health systems in the world have not shouldered their fair share of responsibility, nor have they fully realised their leadership potential in sustainability. As a former chief executive of a large teaching hospital, I fully appreciate that clinical quality, financial performance, and waiting lists command most of the attention but that more action can also be taken on sustainability. As the world's fourth largest employer and one of the most energy hungry organisations, the NHS, I believe, has an excellent opportunity to step up to reduce emissions, create new jobs, and provide a global example of what health can do. How? Firstly, energy production, consumption, and distribution are highly fragmented across the NHS. New combined heat and power generators and distribution services have vastly superior energy efficiency and dramatically reduce costs. A national network of leading edge combined heat and power plants with green waste management facilities would transform performance. Secondly, the distribution chain between drugs and healthcare is antiquated and costly. Currently, drug companies have fragmented supply chains to hospitals, general practices, and retail outlets, with millions of vehicle movements across the UK. By working together the NHS and life sciences sectors can streamline the order, receipt, and distribution processes, thereby reducing the number of deliveries, the amount of packaging, and the cost. Finally, we need to redesign the way care is delivered. There are millions of hospital outpatient visits each day, and many are vital. This creates a lot of, perhaps unnecessary, travel and adds to the overall carbon footprint. The latest developments in ehealth, telehealth, and telecare (devices that remotely monitor health status) offer us a glimpse at how we could reduce some of this travel. To its credit, the Department of Health for England launched the largest randomised controlled trial in the world of such technologies, and its three year evaluation has been published recently. With stunning reductions in mortality levels of 45%, emergency admissions of 20%, and costs of 8% the NHS has shown the rest of the world what is possible. More telecare can reduce emissions and improve health. As the government looks for new ideas for economic growth and job creation, and Rio+20 looks for a greater commitment to sustainability, the NHS can truly lead the world in advanced energy systems, in lean delivery systems, and in new technologies. With innovation, creativity and the courage to act with scale and speed, the NHS could drive global change in healthcare sustainability. Given the scope to make a real difference to the future of our planet, let's not let healthcare systems off the hook this World Environment Day.]]>
