What is the difference between individual and group policies?
Most life, health and disability policies may be written either on an individual or group basis. Individual policies are underwritten with respect to the individual being covered and are not obtained in the employment setting. Group policies are not individually underwritten and are typically provided to employees in the employment setting by employers or unions. Another important distinction between individual and group policies is that enrollment and claims for benefits under group policies are often administered by a third party administrator ("TPA") rather than by the insurer. For example, in an employee group policy, the employer is often the plan administrator, responsible for enrolling new members and for submitting claims on their behalf for policy benefits. Insurance companies typically act as claim administrators. Whether a policy is an individual or group policy can make major differences in an insureds legal rights. It is therefore critical to evaluate what law applies to a policy.
What are Managed Care Organizations ("MCOs")?
Under California law, MCOs are called "health care service plans" and are more commonly referred to as HMOs, PPOs, and POSs. The Department of Managed Health Care has jurisdiction over these types of policies. The Department of Insurance regulates all other types of policies.
What are the grievance procedures for MCOs?
MCOs are required to maintain grievance procedures approved by the Department of Managed Health Care. They are required to resolve grievances within 30 days or explain in writing the reasons for any delay or denial of health care services. The grievance procedure is voluntary and in addition to any other available remedy provided by law. However, utilization of independent administrative review is a condition to an MCO's statutory liability under Civ. Code § 3428. Insurers are required to provide an "independent medical review" if the claim denial involves a determination whether a service is medically necessary. If a dispute is not subject to independent medical review, the Department of Managed Health Care may order the plan to promptly offer and provide covered benefits or order reimbursement by the plan.
What are common disputes with health insurers?
Medical Necessity: Many policies have limitations for "reasonable and medically necessary" expenses. What is "medically reasonable and necessary" care is often disputed. A frequent issue is whether the insurer is bound by the treating physician's determination that treatment was "medically necessary." If the policy itself does not clearly address this issue, insureds usually argue that the uncertainty should be resolved in favor of coverage and the insurer must pay for whatever treatment is ordered by the treating physician. Utilizing an overly-restrictive standard of "medical necessity" may constitute "bad faith" by the insurer. If a group policy is provided by an employer and is governed by ERISA, such plans usually confer discretion on the plan's medical administrator to determine what treatment is "medically necessary." Such decisions may be upheld so long as it is not an abuse of discretion. An attending physician's opinion that a treatment is "medically necessary" is persuasive but not determinative. See Dowden v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Texas, Inc., 126 F.3d 641, 644 (5th Cir. 1997) (applying ERISA).
"Usual and Customary" Medical Expenses: Insurers may deny a health claim because the procedure is not "usual and customary." Courts are likely to side with insureds as to what fees are "usual and customary" in order not to interfere with the insureds' access to physicians of their choice. Courts are not likely to sympathize with an insurer's objections to the amount of fees after an insured has already incurred the debt without notice from the insurance company as to what amounts would be accepted as "usual and customary." Before suing an insurer for medical benefits which the insurer has denied as medically unnecessary, the insured must exhaust the "independent medical review system" established by the Department of Insurance and Department of Managed Health Care. "Coverage decisions" are not subject to such review (the approval or denial of health care services substantially based on a finding that the provision of a particular service is included or excluded as a covered benefit under the terms of the insurance contract.).
Preexisting Conditions: Individual health policies are normally designed to cover only losses due to illness contracted and commenced while the policy is in force. Various types of provisions are therefore used to avoid coverage for preexisting health conditions. These provisions are strictly construed against the insurer and in favor of the insured. However, group health insurance policies and managed care plans limit the scope and length of exclusions for preexisting conditions.
Experimental or Investigative Treatment: Many health insurance policies exclude coverage for treatments or procedures that are "experimental or investigational." Whether and to what extend a treatment or procedure is "experimental or investigational" is fact intensive and often requires expert testimony.
When is a health insurer required to make a decision on a claim?
An insurer is required within 30 working days to pay a covered health insurance claim or send written notice to the insured (and to the health care provider that provided the services at issue) that the claim is contested or denied, stating the factual and/or legal basis for its action. Interest accrues at the rate of 10% per annum on claims not paid or contested within the 30–working-day period. Ins. Code. §§ 10123.13, 10123.147.
Can a health insurer rescind a policy?
False statements made by the insured in applying for health insurance do not entitle the insurer to rescind "unless such false statement was made with actual intent to deceive or unless it materially affected either the acceptance of the risk or the hazard assumed by the insurer." Ins. Code. § 10380. The insured is not bound by any statement made in an application for disability insurance unless a copy of such application is attached to or endorsed on the policy. Health insurers are prohibited from engaging in "postclaim underwriting," defined as "rescinding, canceling or limiting of a plan contract due to the plan's failure to complete medical underwriting and resolve all reasonable questions arising from written information submitted on or with an application before issuing the plan contract." Health & Saf. Code § 1389.3.


This is a randomized, double-blind, sequential, dose-escalation, Phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of verdinexor. Verdinexor or placebo will be given on days 1 and 3 to healthy adult subjects.
Cohorts of 8 subjects each (6 active, 2 placebo) will be sequentially administered verdinexor or placebo (one dose on Day 1 and one dose on Day 3) using a dose-escalation scheme. A conservative, sequential, dose-escalation strategy employing decreasing escalation increments will be used.
Safety and tolerability will be evaluated through treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), physical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), supportive care medications, and changes in laboratory parameters (chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis).
Subjects must be in good health as determined by the investigator, based on the medical history, ECG, physical examination, and safety laboratory tests at screening.
Subjects must be identified as a non-smoker at the screening visit (a non-smoker is defined as an individual who has abstained from smoking for at least 1 year prior to the screening visit and who has a ≤ 15 pack year history of lifetime cigarette use). A urine cotinine test will be performed at screening and at the time of clinic check-in prior to study drug treatment.
The subject has any surgical or medical condition that potentially may alter the absorption, metabolism, or excretion of the study drug such as gastrectomy, Crohn's disease, or liver disease.
The subject has a history of clinically significant allergies. Hay fever is allowed unless it is active or has required treatment within the previous 2 months.
Presence of a chronic condition(s) with clinical or historical evidence of recent exacerbation, or other information to suggest non-control of such condition(s).
History of alcohol abuse or drug addiction within 12 months of the screening visit.
Any subject with active cataracts or medical history of cataracts.

Q: Query Select in SQL postgres We need help to use a command in "SELECT" to return the following information from a bank in PostgreSQL.
"Terminals that had 10 or more occurrences, within 1 hour, with the same user, service, and terminal".
We have the table TB_TRANSACOES:
Id bigserial NOT NULL,
Dh_transaction timestamp NOT NULL,
Nu_account bigint NOT NULL,
Nu_value bigint NOT NULL,
Co_terminal character varying NOT NULL,
Co_service character varying NOT NULL,
Co_user character varying NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT tb_transacoes_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)

We have only this part:
SELECT * FROM TB_TRANSACOES WHERE CO_TERMINAL >= 10

I'll be grateful.

A: All the records with NumberOfTransactions >  10 should be what you want
SELECT
    Co_terminal
    , Co_service
    ,Co_user
    , COUNT(1) AS NumberOfTransactions
FROM YOUR table
Group by
    Co_terminal

    ,DATEPART(YEAR, Dh_transaction )
    ,DATEPART(Month, Dh_transaction )
    ,DATEPART(Day, Dh_transaction )
    ,DATEPART(Hour, Dh_transaction )

A: You can do this using lag():
select distinct co_terminal
from (select t.*,
             lag(dh_transaction, 9) over (partition by co_terminal, co_service, co_user
                                          order by dh_transaction

      from TB_TRANSACOES t
     ) t
where dt_transaction_9 >= dh_transaction - interval '1 hour';

This gets the 9th transaction in history.  If it is within an hour, then we have 10 transactions within an hour.

A: Would the code look like this then?
SELECT

View from the Gatehouse: Lumps, Bumps, Bodies and... Bunnies!
Lumps, Bumps, Bodies and... Bunnies!
South of the Hall, and sitting along-side the main drive, is a peculiarity of the Hall - known affectionately as The Lumps and Bumps Field. It is Scheduled as an Ancient Monument, along with the land that the Hall sits upon and all the land within the Park Pale.
To the south of the current farm buildings, which lie to the immediate south of the moat, are the substantial earthwork remains of the service buildings for the medieval complex. These buildings lay within an outer court and include well defined remains of at least four buildings laying either side of a later field wall. The remains survive up to 0.5m high and include a building platform 10m by 5m surrounded by a shallow gulley some 1.5m wide. To the east of these remains are two substantial earthen banks 5m apart and up to 0.5m high which extend east for 70m then turn to extend south for 100m, and which are interpreted as the sides of a track way. The curtain wall which surrounded the outer court survives as a prominent bank along the western side of a track extending south west from the farm buildings. To the west of this wall, outside the outer court, are remains of ridge and furrow cultivation. The southern and eastern sides of the outer court are defined by the park pale but the location of the boundary on the north side is currently unknown.
A park pale was the boundary around an area of land often set aside and equiped for the management and hunting of deer and other animals although farming also took place. They were generally located around or adjacent to a manor house, castle or palace. Parks could contain a number of features, including hunting lodges, a park keepers house, rabbit warrens, and enclosures for game. They were usually surrounded by a park pale, a fenced, hedged or walled boundary often on a massive bank with an internal ditch. The peak period for the laying out of parks, between AD 1200 and 1350, coincided with a time of considerable prosperity amongst the nobility. Parks were established in virtually every county in England and were a long lived and widespread monument type. Today they serve to illustrate an important aspect of the activities of medieval nobility and still exert a powerful influence on the pattern of the modern landscape. Where a park pale survives well, and is well documented or associated with other significant remains they are normally identified as nationally important. The medieval fortified house complex at Markenfield Hall survives well. The full extent of the outer court is known and earthwork remains of its enclosing wall and buildings are preserved. The associated park pale also survives well and is unusually complete. Taken together the remains demonstrate a rare survival, offering important scope for understanding the nature and functions of a medieval complex and its impact on the wider economy and landscape.
This belief was changed briefly back in 2011 when Historical Dowsers worked their way across the Courtyard, the Car Park, the One Acre Paddock and the Lumps and Bumps Field to try and identify what historical archaeological secrets could be hidden under the surface. They identified the outlines of numerous buildings within the Courtyard, and it was truly fascinating to see the outlines of buildings from days gone by begin to take shape in front of your eyes.
When the Dowsers got to the Lumps and Bumps Field however they did not find the anticipated mediaeval village - instead they identified three plague burial pits. Not exactly the "View from the Gatehouse" that a girl wants each day!!!
Then, not a year later, we were privileged to welcome historical writer Richard Almond to the Hall. He was speaking for The Friends on the subject of the Park Pale and mediaeval hunting in general. He identified the Lumps and Bumps as rabbit warrens.
His explanation being that when rabbits were first imported to this country, they were above-ground animals used to a hot climate and that in order to survive they had to be "taught" to live underground away from snow, wind and rain. Thus it was that artificial rabbit warrens were built consisting of stone tunnels and chambers; and this is what we have here at the Hall.
I was lucky enough to meet The Muddy Archaeologist (otherwise known as Gillian Hovell) at the Ripon Local and Familiy History Fair last week and plans are under way for her to come and look at our Lumps and Bumps with a view, not only to providing a definitive answer, but to put on a lecture (or two..) about the Hall and its archaeology based on her extensive knowledge of landscape archaeology. Muddy Markenfield... it has a ring to it!

Ron Paul: US Elections Are Rigged Voting Simply Used to Pacify the Public
Saturday, April 16, 2016 | Subject: Ron Paul | Category: gov
Dr. Ron Paul says the American electoral system is rigged to keep "independent thinkers" from succeeding.
"I see elections as so much of a charade," the former Texas congressman said during an April 11 appearance on RT America's "The Fishtank." "So much deceit goes on."
Paul is no stranger to the twisted rules of the American presidential horse race. He ran for the highest office as a Libertarian in 1988, and in 2008 and 2012 as a Republican.
He arguably came closest to the nomination in 2012, when the GOP amended its party regulations to prevent the former Texas representative from stealing Mitt Romney's thunder.
Rule 40(b) of "The Rules of the Republican Party" was changed so the Republican National Committee could "limit the visibility and power of libertarian-minded Texas Rep. Ron Paul at the convention and thus present a unified front behind Mitt Romney, the presumptive nominee," according to David Byler, an elections analyst at RealClearPolitics.
The rule requires that, in order to win the nomination, a candidate must have the support of a majority of delegates from eight states.
Although recent wins have tipped Sen. Ted Cruz past the cut off, the rule as written came close to helping Trump take the nomination. Paul warned that the GOP's machinations to block Donald Trump are a sign of a corrupt, undemocratic system.
"I've worked on the assumption … for many, many decades, that whether there's a Republican or a Democrat president, the people who want to keep the status quo seems to have their finger in the pot and can control things," he said in the interview.
"They just get so nervous, though, if they have an independent thinker out there — whether it's Sanders, or Trump or Ron Paul, they're going to be very desperate to try to change things."
Paul had nothing but scorn for Trump's policies: "He's offering us nothing new, and he's going backward in many ways."
He suggested that the 2016 election is "a lot more entertainment than anything else" because none of the candidates "have answers" to modern political problems.
Even so, Paul interprets the success of these outsider candidates as a sign that "more people are discovering that the system is all rigged and voting is just pacification for the voters and it really doesn't count."
"I don't think there's an easy way out for the establishment or the parties," he noted, explaining that Democrats and Republicans would both rather risk "further alienation of the people" than allow a candidate to succeed who could shake up the system.
Paul recalled his own 2012 encounter with Rule 40(b) as an important political lesson for both himself and the American people.
"I was upset about it but didn't want to waste too much energy being angry because this is the way the system works," he said. "It's a rotten system."

A Brief History of Towns Settled in the Merrimack ...
9/11/2011 - Tenth Anniversary
A Brief History of Towns Settled in the Merrimack Valley and Southern New Hampshire
Massachusetts Settlements in the Merrimack Valley
In 1634, the Great and General Court of Massachusetts set aside a portion of land in what is now Essex County for an inland plantation, including parts of what now is Andover. The first permanent settlement in the Andover area was established in 1641 by John Woodbridge and a group of settlers from Newbury and Ipswich.
Settled around 1636, Andover was known as Cochichewick. It was renamed Andover and incorporated in 1646. In 1709, it was separated into two parishes, Andover and North Andover. In 1855, these became two separate towns.
The Eames family founded the town of Boxford, naming it after a town in the United Kingdom. Although it was originally settled in 1646, it wasn't incorporated until 1685.
Boxford was first settled in 1646 as part of Rowley Village by Abraham Redington. When it was officially incorporated in 1685, about forty families resided in Boxford.
Farming was the primary occupation of the early settlers although craftsmen were also found among the townspeople. The largest industry in Boxford was the match factory (located on Lawrence Road) which operated from 1866 to 1905.
The original building of the First Church was built in 1701 in East Boxford Village. As the population of West Boxford expanded, the legislature designated this section as precinct 2 in 1735. Town meetings alternated between East and West parishes. The first West Boxford church building was erected in 1774.
Georgetown was incorporated in 1838 but its birth was 200 years before when a small group of Yorkshire families led by Rev. Ezekial Rogers set sail in 1638 from Rowley, England for Salem, Massachusetts on the ship "John". Mr. Rogers and his party of about 100 men, women and children, having arrived late in the year, remained in Salem for the winter living in common houses.
In the spring of 1639, the group, now numbering over 200 individuals, purchased a tract of land between the villages of Newbury and Ipswich and named their plantation Rowley. This territory included the present day towns of Rowley, Georgetown, Groveland, Byfield and Boxford. Working together they erected shelters and prepared for the coming winter. They lived in common houses for about three years until they were able to help each family erect their own humble dwellings.
The community thrived and after a few years these settlers began to explore the rest of their plantation that extended to the Merrimac River. From the vantage point of Prospect Hill, named in anticipation of what lay to the west, they saw another hill, bare at its summit and surrounded with trees below. The image suggested a bald pate and today is still known as Baldpate Hill. It is the highest point in the county, and on clear days one could see the ocean from this Georgetown hilltop.
Groveland was originally a part of the towns of Rowley and Bradford. It wasn't until September 9, 1850, that it became a separate town. In the 20th century Groveland changed from a shoe industry and textile manufacturing community to one that is almost wholly residential.
The Indian name for this locality was Pentucket. It was named Haverhill by the Reverend John Ward, first minister, who had come from Haverhill, England. Haverhill was founded in 1640 by twelve English Puritans from Ipswich, Massachusetts and Newbury, Massachusetts as a frontier settlement. Mr. Ward and the Newberry men petitioned the General Court on May 13, 1640 for permission to begin a new plantation on the Merrimack River. Permission was granted provided they build before the next Courte. Though the town was settled and houses erected in 1640 it was not until November 15, 1642 that a title to the land was purchased from the Indian owners consisting of Pentucket, Passaquo and Saggahew Tribes with the consent of Passaconway who signed for the tribe. The settlers purchased the land for 3 pounds and 10 shillings.
Settled as farmland Haverhill evolved into a major industrial center through the establishment of saw and grist mills in the 17th century.
Europeans first settled the area in 1640. The site of the city – formerly parts of Andover and Methuen - was purchased in 1845 by a group of Boston industrialists headed by the wealthy merchant and congressman Abbott Lawrence, the community's namesake. The city was incorporated in 1853.
The industrialists, most prominently Lawrence, established textile mills near sources of abundant waterpower. Lawrence's location on the Merrimack River, just downriver of Lowell and a short train ride from Boston was an ideal location to set up an industrial center. The Merrimack River was dammed right above the city, and a canal was dug on both the north and the south banks to provide power to the factories that would soon be built on its banks.
Merrimac was first settled in 1638 and was a part of the town of Amesbury starting in 1666. When it was incorporated in 1876, he riverside portion of the area was called Merrimacport. It is believed that both the town and the river that runs along its southren border are named for the American Indian tribe that occupied the regions. "Merrimac" means "swift water place" in the language of this tribe.
At the time of the earliest white settlers in this area, what is now Methuen was a part of Haverhill. This area extended north of the Merrimack River, westward to Dracut. Friendly Penacook Indians used the banks of the Merrimack and Spicket Rivers to hunt and fish from 1666 to 1683 and about this time residents of Haverhill and Andover settled in the eastern and southern parts of this territory that would one day be Methuen.
Years later in 1723, Methuen settlers such as Joshua Swan, petitioned Haverhill for land but were refused. The settlers then sought to incorporate as a town and petitioned the General Court for their own separate charter. In December 1725, the charter was granted and Governor Dummer named the town Methuen, the only town so named in the world. The town was named after Lord Methuen, an English official of Pre-Revolutionary days and a friend of Governor Dummer.
n 1634, the Great and General Court of Massachusetts reserved the land around Lake Cochichewick for an inland plantation. This included what is now Andover, North Andover and South Lawrence. Early colonists were offered three years' immunity from taxes, levies and services, except military service, as inducements to settle in the Andover area. A group of Newbury and Ipswich residents, led by a man named John Woodbridge, established the first permanent settlement in the Andover and North Andover area in 1641.
Shortly after they arrived, the local Pennacook tribal chief Cutshamache sold a parcel of land that included what is now Andover to Woodbridge and his followers. The price was "six pounds of currency and a coat" and permission for Roger, a local Pennacook man, to plant his corn and take alewives from the brook. A small brook, named in his honor, still meanders its way through the eastern part of town.
This notable bargain is commemorated in Andover's official seal, which can be seen on all official town stationery and is displayed in a tile mosaic on the lobby floor of the Old Town Hall on Main Street. The settlement was incorporated as a town in May of 1646 and was named Andover, most likely after Andover, England, which was near the original home of some of the first residents. The first recorded town meeting was held in settler John Osgood's home in 1656.
Atkinson has a rich history, dating back before the American Revolution. The town was part of a tract of land purchased from the Indians by settlers of Haverhill, Massachusetts on November 15, 1642. The first settlements were made in 1728 by Benjamin Richards of Rochester and Johathan and Edmund Page and John Dow of Haverhill.
Incorporated in 1722, Chester once included Candia and was set off in 1763. First called "the chestnut country," it may have been the first of the settlement grants by Massachusetts selected for expansion of growing populations in the seacoast. The name may be derived from Cheshire, Chester being the county seat of Cheshire in England. Earl of Chester is a title held by the Prince of Wales. Daniel Chester French, sculptor of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., was a summer resident and took Chester as his middle name because of his love for the town.
The towns of Auburn, Candia, Derryfield (renamed Manchester), Hooksett, and Raymond were later formed from Chester's original 100 square mile grant.
Danville was originally one of several parishes of Kingston which was first settled in 1694. It was chartered in 1760 as Hawke, after Admiral Sir Edward Hawke. Never a popular name, the town was incorporated as Danville in 1836.
The Hawke Meeting House is the oldest origiinal construction meeting house still standing in New Hampshire. Construction of the meeting house began in 1754 and was used for religious services until 1887. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Although Derry, New Hampshire was first settled by Scottish-Irish families in 1719, Derry was not incorporated until 1827. It was for a long time part of Londonderry, which included Windham and portions of Manchester, Salem and Hudson.
The town was named for the city of Derry, Northern Ireland, the Irish word "Doire" meaning "oak woods." The first potato planted in the United States was planted here in 1719.
Once part of Haverhill and Amesbury, Massachusetts settled in 1640, this town was formed as a result of the 1739 change in boundary lines between Massachusetts and the new province of New Hampshire. It was originally known as "Timberlane Parish" because of the heavy growth of native trees. The town would be incorporated in 1749 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth, who renamed it after Hampstead, England, the residence of William Pitt, a close friend.
Hampstead's Main Street is lined with antique homes. The town was a popular summer camp location.
The immigrants who settled the Town of Londonderry, New Hampshire, were descendants of a colony migrating from Scotland to Northern Ireland (Ulster) about 1612. A large number of these Scotch-Irish settlers left their homes in Londonderry, Ireland, and arrived in Boston in 1718 to start a new life without religious wars and persecution. Of the five shiploads of people under the guidance of Rev. James MacGregor, one group remained in Boston, one group settled in Dracut and Andover and a third group ventured north to what is now Portland, Maine. A harsh winter and low provisions forced the third group to retreat south to Haverhill, Massachusetts, where they heard of a twelve square mile area "abound with nut trees". Sixteen families left Haverhill for Nutfield in 1719 and on June 21, 1722, established a charter for the Township of Londonderry. Later, several portions of the Town were subdivided into parishes and other towns.
Nutfield was the first inland settlement in the Merrimack Valley and originally included what are now the city of Manchester and the towns of Hudson, Windham, Salem and Derry (the oak grove). In 1741 a section was lost on the southern boundary to form Windham and Hudson; Derryfield (later named Manchester) was incorporated in 1751 and Derry became a separate town in 1828.
Pelham was split from Old Dunstable in 1741, when the border between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was settled. It was incorporated in 1746. The town is named after Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle.
Before being incorporated in 1746, Pelham had been part of Nottingham, Massachusetts to the west and Dracut, Massachussets to the east. Due to the prolonged boundary line dispute between Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the settlement of Pelham occurred very slowly over time.
Plaistow was originally part of the 1642 land purchase that was Haverhill, Massachusetts. However, when the New Hampshire - Massachusetts boundary was established in 1741, it became part of the Haverhilll district.
It was officially established as a town in 1749 after a boundary dispute between the Massachusetts Bay Colony and the New Hampshire Grants. It is the only town outside the United Kingdom with the name Plaistow. In 1776 the western part of Plaistow became a separate town, Atkinson.
The area was first settled in 1652. As early as 1736, Salem was the "North Parish" of Methuen, Massachusetts, or "Methuen District." In 1741, when the boundary line between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was re-established, the "North Parish" became part of New Hampshire, and was given the name "Salem," taken from nearby Salem, Massachusetts. It was incorporated in 1750 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth.
This territory was part of the original Kingston grant of 1694. As the western portin of Kingston became more heavily populated, residents felt that they could support a meetinghouse of their own, and petitioned Governor Benning Wentworth for separation.
Sandown was incorporated as a separate town in 1756 by Colonial Governor Benning Wentworth. It was named for picturesque Sandown on the Isle of Wight. The first minister of Sandown, Reverend Joseph Cotton, built the Sandown Meeting House in 1774. It had an 11 foot high pulpit and marble columns supporting the gallery, and is still an excellent example of early New England church architecture. In fact, the meetinghouse is said to be the finest of its type in New Hampshire, with outstanding craftsmanship and architectural details.

A very nice summary of the towns in the area. I'm bookmarking this post for reference! It will come in handy more than once or twice...
I often think about all of these places and then thought I should blog about them. Thanks for your post.

She never had a clue what the implications of her actions were, which is to say she was a pure ideologue. And it makes no difference whether they are right or left. Stalin is what has given socialism (including Sweden) a perverse meaning these days to otherwise reasonable Americans. Edith certainly didn't help those of us who are Social Democrats on that score. After the Cambridge Five, I can't imagine that American intelligence would ever consider the MI5 trustworthy again.
So now we need to rise up from the ashes. Preferably without the Stalin/Castro/Mao nonsense. (A hint: ideologues -- across the spectrum -- are idiots).

A few weeks ago it was a more or less vacant lot, but with a bit of an investment and a lot of hard work Gaylene Kellar has transformed the property into the 506 Yard & Garden Centre - a full service garden and landscaping centre with trees, landscaping materials, and varieties of flagstone lying out in a large yard; a large greenhouse chock full of annual and perennial bedding plants for vegetable and flower gardens; and plans for a pick-your-own organic garden moving forward quickly.
"I started on April 1, and at first I thought I would get ready for next year, but then I decided to push and try to open before Victoria Day Weekend," said Gaylene when interviewed earlier this week on a cold and rainy day.
For Gaylene Kellar the new business is a chance to move back home, and an opportunity to make a career change. She has been working as a nurse, but she prefers working out of doors, without having to travel back and forth every day.
Because the business just started this spring, Gaylene was unable to grow all the plants that she is selling out of her green house, but with the greenhouse now in place, next year she plans to start everything herself in the early spring, and have garlic and berries available for local stores as well as the general public.
But all of these plans are in the future. For now, Gaylene is busy working all day in the garden centre, then delivering bulk material orders in the early evenings, then getting ready for the next day.
"It's been a real rush so far, but I've been enjoying myself," she said.
506 Yard & Garden Centre is located at 1319 Hwy 506, 1.5km east of Hwy 41. It is open 7 days a week from 8am – 4pm or by appointment. Tel: 613-336-0772.

Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has backed new manager Unai Emery's philosophy and concedes that the team is trying to move on from Wenger's style.
Arsene Wenger's 22-year stay with the Gunners ended at the end of last season and former Paris Saint Germain boss Unai Emery was drafted in as his replacement. The Spanish boss immediately tried to stamp his authority on the squad by dipping into the summer transfer window, successfully acquiring the likes of Bernd Leno, Lucas Torreira and Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
The new signings helped send a wave of optimism through Arsenal fans across North London, however, their start to the season has been less than encouraging so far. Emery's men were pitted against Manchester City on August 12th for their Premier League opener at The Emirates, where they succumbed to a disappointing 2-0 defeat and struggled to contain the attacking threat of the reigning champions.
They fared better against Chelsea on Saturday but still ended up on the wrong side of a 3-2 scoreline at Stamford Bridge. West Ham United await next weekend in their second home game of the new campaign and according to Mkhitaryan, the squad is prepared to work hard and progress gradually under their new coach.
He told Sky Sports: "We know where we're going, what we're doing, what the coach is demanding from us and we're trying to do that.
"We can say we had a hard schedule having played Manchester City and Chelsea, but we had to face them now or later so it doesn't matter.
"We have to keep working because we have a new manager, a new philosophy and want to play in a different way than before under Wenger.
"It's not too easy but we are trying to achieve that and do what the coach is asking from us. He wants to play football and dominate the game and that's what we're doing, we're not just kicking the ball up front.
The Armenian midfielders latest comments will no doubt help put a realistic spin on the transitional period that the club is facing post-Wenger and supporters must exercise patience to allow Emery the time to stamp his mark on the team and lead them forward towards more successful times.

Q: How do i get my x and y value to detect a collision between two images in html5 canvas? I am trying to make two images collide (one is a cannonball called figBola and the other a ballon called figSprite), the problem I have is that I always get a value of 0 in both a.x, a.y and b.x, b.y when using alert(); in my colliding function when I am supposed to get the position of both images in that moment which equal x and y. Both of my images width and height are returned correctly. This is what I have tried so far (the colision code is at the bottom):
function iniciar(){

    elemento =  document.getElementById("area");
    lienzo = elemento.getContext("2d");
    figSprite = new Image();
    figSprite.src = "ballon.png";
    figBola = new Image();
    figBola.src = "bola.png";
    figCanon = new Image();
    figCanon.src = "cañon.png";

    //mostrar imagen en canvas
    dibujar_sprite(450,20);
    dibujar_bolita(50,20);
    dibujar_canon(0,20);
    incremento=true;

    xcanon = 0;
    ycanon = 20;
    inccanon = 0;
    inccanon1 = 2;
    //variables de posicion
    xs = 450;
    ys = 20;
    incy = 3;
    intervalo = 25; //miliseg, num veces = 1000/25 = 40
    //definicion del intervalo
    repeticion=undefined;
    xbolita = -50;
    ybolita = -20;
    incx=3;
    disparar=true;
    window.addEventListener("keypress", mover, false);
}

function animacion(){
    lienzo.clearRect(0, 0, 500, 500);
    if(incremento===true && ys < 430)
    {
        ys+=incy;
        dibujar_sprite(xs, ys);

        if(ys+incy > 430)
            incremento = false;
    }

    if(incremento===false && ys > 20)
    {
        ys-=incy;
        dibujar_sprite(xs, ys);

        if(ys-incy <= 20)
            incremento = true;
    }

    ycanon+= inccanon;

    if(ycanon < 20 || ycanon > 450)
    {
        inccanon=0;
    }

    xbolita+= incx;
    dibujar_bolita(xbolita, ybolita);
    dibujar_canon(xcanon, ycanon);

    collision(figSprite, figBola);
}

function btnStart_click(){
    repeticion = setInterval(animacion, intervalo);
    document.getElementById("stop").disabled = false;
    document.getElementById("start").disabled = true;
}

function btnStop_click(){
    clearInterval(repeticion);
    document.getElementById("stop").disabled = true;
    document.getElementById("start").disabled = false;
}

function btnUp_click(){
    inccanon = -2;
}

function btnDown_click(){
    inccanon = +2;
}

function btnShoot_click(){
    xbolita = 20;
    ybolita = ycanon;
}
//draw images
function dibujar_sprite(x,y){
    lienzo.drawImage(figSprite, x, y);
}

function dibujar_bolita(x,y){
    lienzo.drawImage(figBola, x, y);
}

function dibujar_canon(x,y){
    lienzo.drawImage(figCanon, x, y);
}

function mover(e){
    valor = e.keyCode;

    if(valor === 38)
        ycanon -= inccanon1;

    if(valor === 40)
        ycanon += inccanon1;

    inccanon=0;
}

collision code where i am passing images as varibles:
function collision(a, b){
    if(a.x < b.x + b.width && a.x + a.width > b.x && a.y < b.y + b.height && a.y + a.height > b.y)
    {
        alert(a.x);
        alert(a.y);
        alert(b.x);
        alert(b.y);
    }
}

A: OK, here's your problem: an Image object doesn't have x and y properties, but it does have width and height. Thus, when you try to access the x and y properties in your collision function, they come up as undefined.
It looks like you have the coordinates of each object stored in variables already (xcanon, ycanon, etc.), so those can be used as additional arguments in your collision function, however, this may not be your best bet. You could also define x and y properties of each Image object, however, I think a bit of refactoring is your best bet here. Try creating a custom JavaScript object for each item you're working with:
function GameItem (image, x, y, width, height) {
    this.image = image;
    this.x = x;
    this.y = y;
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
}

var spriteImage = new Image();
spriteImage.src = "ballon.png";
sprite = new GameItem(spriteImage, 450, 20, spriteImage.width, spriteImage.height);

// etc.

// collision method now works between two of these objects:
collision(sprite, bola);

If you use this code, be sure to update your draw-- er... dibujar methods. :)
PS: Sorry, but my Spanish-JavaScript reading skills aren't in their prime.

Premier League club to help neighbors with their mental health
Everton Football Club is set to open a new building to help its neighbors with their mental health.
The Premier League charity already has a number of schemes to improve the well-being of the people of Liverpool.
Everton In The Community is about to open a brand new mental health center near Goodison Park with the goal of making a real difference in the area, one of the most underprivileged neighborhoods in the country.
Deputy CEO Mike Salla said, "Whenever you look at statistics about health inequalities or poor health outcomes, the L4 range tops the list every time."
The People's Square will offer its services to everyone under one roof, regardless of age, gender, location – or football affiliation.
It aims to promote positive mental health alongside support related to suicide awareness and/or suicide prevention.
Mr. Salla added, "We are in such a privileged position to be able to make such a meaningful difference in improving the quality of life for local people and making some really meaningful changes."
Almost all of Everton borough is among the most deprived neighborhoods nationally and mental illness and suicide are more common in more deprived inner city areas such as Liverpool 4, where Goodison Park is located.
According to statistics, 150 people die by suicide in Merseyside every year.
The £2million facility will offer wellness activities, with a shift of professional care from health and wellness practitioners, GPs and mental health professionals, alongside education and employment support.
Jon Jones, senior program manager at The People's Place, said: "There is an increase in wait times and waiting lists around mental wellbeing, which I think unfortunately raises the bar for accessing support.
"Hopefully The People's Place can help fill that need for those who may fall in between the gaps."
Everton in the Community were the Premier League's first community arm to address mental health as a targeted development programme, developing the Imagine Your Goals program in 2008.
The charity says the facility will remain in Everton if the club move there new 52,000-seat stadium on the city's waterfront in 2024.

Middle East investors keen on PH brands
KATLENE O. CACHO
A CEBU-BASED franchise consultancy firm has partnered with a Middle Eastern capitalist to create a franchise firm that will help investors build their franchise businesses in the Middle East.
RK Franchise Consultancy Inc. founder Rudolf Kotik has collaborated with businessman Ahmed Alarfaj to create a franchise firm called Franaccess to assist investors in finding the right master franchise and help them with the legal aspects of the franchise business.
Kotik said they spend at least one to three weeks a month in different areas in the Middle East to market the franchising business and meet with potential clients.
The Middle East, he said, is the next big destination for Filipino brands to grow.
Countries where franchising has a huge potential are those in the Gulf territory—Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and United Arab Emirates—which are also home to many overseas Filipino workers, he noted.
Filipino food brands (except those products with pork) are the most in-demand for franchise in the Middle East. About 90 percent of the inquiries by foreign capitalists are food businesses that are making it big in the Philippines.
Aside from the huge concentration of Filipinos in the Middle East, foreign capitalists target the locals as the main buyers of Filipino-made products.
"It has nothing to do with Filipino market. It's for the local domestic market there," he noted, adding that aside from food, franchise businesses that are related to beauty are also gaining interest among these foreign investors.
Five Filipino brands are in the process of completing their franchise system for Middle East, namely, The Reading Station, YTC Tutorial Services, Vivi Facial, Nails.Glow, and Mr. Softy Ice Cream.
The Philippines has some 1,500 local and foreign franchise brands and leads the franchise industry in Southeast Asia, according to the Philippine Franchise Association. It estimates that there are about 140,000 franchise outlets that have generated over a million jobs in the country.

If you're a freelancer, independent contractor, or a work-from-home type who isn't cut out for working from your actual home, you're likely a regular at neighborhood coffee shops. That setup can work—until you need a quiet place to conduct calls without milk being frothed in the background.
Then, it's time to consider co-working spaces, the phenomenon of office spaces shared among independent workers (who now make up 20 to 30 percent of the workforce, according to a report from McKinsey).
Here are six of Chicago's best.
WeWork is undoubtedly the biggest player in the industry, with locations all around the world including six here in Chicago, in the Loop, River North, and Fulton Market. It runs like the well-oiled machine you'd expect: each floor has a printer, there are conference rooms and private phone booths on site, and the workspaces are designed around hip living-room-style lounges that promote mingling among members.
Coolest feature: A WeWork membership comes with perks at partner companies, like Zipcar, that you'd expect to find at a corporate gig.
The No. 1 thing that stands out about Nicole Vasquez's three-year-old The Shift: It's not downtown, so North Siders can work from Uptown and eliminate the trek to the Loop. A second location, aptly called Second Shift, also recently opened in Logan Square. Both have what you need to "get shift done," as their motto goes. Expect standard desks and a relaxed coffee-shop vibe, plus extras like standing desks and exercise balls for those who can manage to shoot off emails while balancing.
Coolest feature: The focus on community. There are free networking events and member show-and-tells every two weeks. Vasquez also promotes members' businesses on site and online.
Creative Coworking will soon expand from its original Evanston location to a second space in Edgewater's Colvin House. Forget about stuffy corporate vibes here. The space feels like you're working in someone's home (albeit a well-equipped one) and doubles as an art gallery featuring work by local artists. The Evanston location spreads its meeting rooms and desks across a few floors (plus a rooftop), with dedicated quiet and collaboration zones.
Coolest feature: Interns are ready to help with tasks like social media, website support, and designing marketing materials.
The lofty River North Space by Doejo offers 24/7 access, printing services (first 20 pages a month are complimentary), and conference rooms for up to 18 people that you can book via an app. There's also always Bow Truss coffee brewing, and the office has bike racks so you don't have to worry about locking up in busy River North.
Coolest feature: Lunch-and-learns that are general enough to be relevant across industries. Two recent sessions covered daily nutrition and conquering sales fears.
The local company's gone national but counts three offices here (number four—in River North—is expected to open this fall). Most of the memberships come with access to any location, which means you can pull up to a desk if you happen to be traveling to cities such as Seattle, Denver, and Dallas. The stylish, modern spaces are stocked with healthy snacks, fancy coffee makers, and the usual printing services.
Coolest feature: There's local beer on tap in the break room.
Not exactly the first place that comes to mind when you need to get work done, but the West Loop climbing facility also counts a workspace in its 25,000 square feet. The working area has free WiFi and overlooks the climbing wall—a welcome distraction if procrastination is part of your process. At the end of the day, though, it's still a gym, so don't expect it to be library-esque.
Coolest feature: Did we mention that your breaks can be spent rappelling instead of standing awkwardly by the water cooler?


A new report from industry analysts IBISWorld forecasts continued slow growth for the legal services industry in Australia due to lower demand, increased competition and client cost-cutting. The Australian reports that the picture is better, though, than during the financial crisis when the sector saw decline of up to 2 per cent. IBISWorld expects growth of 2.7 per cent this financial year and 2.4 per cent per year thereafter through to 2019-20. Much of the growth in the sector is attributed to the large firms such as Ashurst and King & Wood Mallesons that are doing well on the international front. Wages in the profession are expected to increase but will represent a smaller percentage of the revenue, partly due to smaller staffing levels.
In one of the biggest ever donations to a law school, trial lawyer Thomas Kline of law firm Kline & Specter based in Philadelphia, has gifted US$50 million to Drexel University. The university's president John A. Fry said that the unprecedented donation will transform the university's legal education for generations to come, in what will now be called the Thomas R. Kline School of Law. Trial lawyer Kline has been in the law profession for 35 years and is one of the most respected and successful lawyers in the US.
Following a redundancy consultation, Ashurst has lost almost half of its overnight production staff in London. Fifteen roles have been cut in a bid to streamline the business and bring the UK operation in line with the Australian model of a central hub outsourcing where necessary. The firm has a larger back-office hub in Glasgow, which is cheaper to run than London facilities.
Watson, Farley and Williams is the latest western firm to launch an office in the Middle East. The new team in Dubai is headed by partner Andrew Baird who specialises in Islamic finance; he will be supported by two associates. The firm already has many clients in the region, particularly banks.
The City of Detroit has paid out around US$126 million to law firms in respect of its bankruptcy. The figure is around four times larger than was estimated at the end of last year and may increase to US$150m by the time the matter is settled. The city has been forced to make some severe cuts to public services and is now being criticised further for having built up a surplus of just enough to pay the legal fees. One firm, Jones Day has billed US$50 million while Dentons is receiving US$7.4 million.

Q: Meteor REST API access I am trying to add a REST API to my Meteor application using Restivus
I putted the following code in server folder of my Meteor application. Currently, I am trying to get the URL parameters.
      var Api = new Restivus({
        useDefaultAuth: true,
        prettyJson: true
      });

    Api.addRoute('login/:id/:password', {authRequired: true}, {
    get:{
    action: function(){
      var id = this.queryParams.id;
      var password = this.queryParams.password;
          return {
          id: id,
          password: password
          }
      }
    }
  });

I got this response
{
"status": "error"
"message": "API endpoint does not exist"
}

to my request:
http://localhost:3000/api/login?id=BGrZbGtKZZQYr9jDR&password=myPassword

A: the way you wrote the url login/:id/:password means it is expecting the url to be
http://localhost:3000/api/login/BGrZbGtKZZQYr9jDR/myPassword
However in your code, you are looking at the queryParams not urlParams:
var id = this.queryParams.id;
var password = this.queryParams.password;

You should choose one or the other:
use the code:
var id = this.urlParams.id;
var password = this.urlParams.password;

with the /login/:id/:password URL,
or use the route with just /login and pass the params as query params to use as you described:
http://localhost:3000/api/login?id=BGrZbGtKZZQYr9jDR&password=myPassword
var Api = new Restivus({
        useDefaultAuth: true,
        prettyJson: true
      });

    Api.addRoute('login', {authRequired: true}, {
    get:{
    action: function(){
      var id = this.queryParams.id;
      var password = this.queryParams.password;
          return {
          id: id,
          password: password
          }
      }
    }
  });
