Congress faces a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government and act on other urgent matters — none more important to the safety net than stopping an $8 billion cut to Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments. The cut — two-thirds of all federal DSH dollars — would jeopardize access to care for low-income patients and destabilize essential hospitals, key safety net providers. In this episode, three experts on these hospitals and Medicaid will describe the potential impact of DSH cuts and bipartisan support in Congress to avert this looming threat. Learn more at https://protectmedicaid.org/.
Jeffrey Davis and Katie Waldo discuss a key policy in the IPPS final rule that will alter how Medicare disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments are calculated, which may have negative financial implications on hospitals and physicians alike.

Attention, fellow gamblers! Are you ready for a wild ride into the world of high stakes gambling? In this latest episode of The Digital Social Hour podcast, we'll hear from Mikki Mase, a controversial professional gambler who's been banned from major establishments in Las Vegas. Mikki shares his journey into the world of gambling, detailing his experiences growing up as a child surrounded by high stakes gambler grandparents. Despite some poor decisions early in life, Mikki managed to turn himself into a successful businessman using his gambling skills. We'll also hear from our hosts, Ari Gold and Sean Mike Kelly, as they discuss their experiences with gambling in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. They remind us that winning in casinos is not always the norm, and that only the 1% of gamblers have had a lifetime of winning. The conversation also touches on the issue of tattoos in the professional industry. Our guest speaker, Mikki, talks about how his face tattoos and visible ink once affected his corporate career and led to judgmental views. Our hosts also chat about investments, such as cryptocurrencies and hard assets like Rolex watches. But the highlight of this episode has to be Mikki's fascinating stories about his encounters with A-list celebrities, including Logan Paul and Lil Baby. He even won a million dollars on camera for Logan, Mike, and Ryan, but his fame brought with it a lot of unexpected baggage. So if you're intrigued by the world of high-stakes gambling, tattoos, and celebrity encounters, tune in now to The Digital Social Hour podcast, hosted by Ari Gold and Sean Mike Kelly.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.28.534519v1?rss=1 Authors: Peysson, A., Zariohi, N., Gendrel, M., Chambert-Loir, A., Frebault, N., Andrini, O., Boulin, T. Abstract: The plasma membrane of excitable cells is highly structured and molecular scaffolds recruit proteins to specific membrane compartments. Here, we show that potassium channels and proteins belonging to the dystrophin-associated protein complex define multiple types of planar-polarized membrane compartments at the surface of C. elegans muscle cells. Surprisingly, conserved planar cell polarity proteins are not required for this process. However, we implicate a Wnt signaling module involving the Wnt ligand EGL-20, the Wnt receptor CAM-1, and the intracellular effector DSH-1/disheveled in the formation of this cell polarity pattern. Moreover, using time-resolved and tissue-specific protein degradation, we demonstrate that muscle cell polarity is a dynamic state, requiring continued presence of DSH-1 throughout post-embryonic life. Our results reveal the intricate, highly reproducible, and entirely unsuspected complexity of the worm's sarcolemma. This novel case of planar cell polarity in a tractable genetic model organism may provide valuable insight into the molecular and cellular mechanisms that regulate cellular organization, allowing specific functions to be compartmentalized within distinct plasma membrane domains.

"Zielona Warszawa" Agnieszki Kowalskiej, autorki miejskich przewodników i popularyzatorka współczesnej miejskości, to zapraszenie na osobisty, subiektywny spacer po zachwycających zielonych ścieżkach stolicy. W swojej najnowszej publikacji Kowalska stworzyła obraz zielonego miasta-oazy, w którym zieleń to nie tylko parki, miejskie skwery, ale też działki, ogrody społecznościowe, miejska partyzantka ogrodnicza i działania artystyczne. "Zielona Warszawa" to historia warszawskiej zieleni i teraźniejszość współtworzona przez ludzi, którzy dbają o to, by była jak najwspanialsza. O tym, jak znajdować zielone ścieżki w środku gęsto zurbanizowanej przestrzeni, jak pisać, żeby zarażać entuzjazmem do alternatywnych ścieżek, rozmawiamy z autorką podczas jej Dyżuru z autografem w Bęc Księgarni przy Mokotowskiej 65 w Warszawie.

W 100. rocznicę zabójstwa Prezydenta Gabriela Narutowicza Dom Spotkań z Historią zorganizował cykl wydarzeń pod hasłem „Niezgoda na nienawiść”. Gabriel Narutowicz został wybrany pierwszym prezydentem II RP 9 grudnia 1922 roku. Od tego momentu stał się wrogiem dla ogromnej części społeczeństwa. Nazywany był „żydowskim prezydentem” (chociaż nie miał żydowskiego pochodzenia i w żaden sposób nie reprezentował społeczności żydowskiej). Odmawiano mu przynależności do narodu, wypominano mu bezwyznaniowość i żądano jego ustąpienia. Na ulicach dochodziło do rozruchów. Bójki, strzelaniny, agresywne zgromadzenia, strach i chaos – stały się brutalną codziennością połowy grudnia 1922 roku. Prawica żądała ustąpienia Narutowicza, lewica grzmiała o ataku na demokrację. Wszystko to doprowadziło do zamordowania Narutowicza w dniu 16 grudnia 1922 r. W programie tegorocznych obchodów są m.in. spotkania towarzyszące wydanej przez Ośrodek KARTA oraz DSH książce „Zabójstwo Narutowicza. Kres demokracji II RP” oraz specjalnemu numerowi „Dwutygodnika”, o którym mówi nam redaktorka naczelna czasopisma Zofia Król. W programie stworzonym przez Katarzynę Puchalską, wicedyrektorkę Domu Spotkań z Hostorią, są także dwie wystawy ─ historyczna prezentująca osobę Gabriela Narutowicza oraz „Towarzystwo Zniechęcenia” przygotowana przez kuratorkę sztuki współczesnej Martę Czyż we współpracy z Yuriyem Bileyem. Rozmawiamy z nimi nie tylko o wystawie, ale także o dzisiejszym kontekście obchodów i o zaangażowaniu środowiska sztuki w działania powstrzymujące narastanie nienawiści. Pełen program wydarzeń 15-18.12.2022: https://dsh.waw.pl/niezgoda-na-nienawisc Rozmawiała: Bogna Świątkowska, www.nn6t.pl Materiał powstał we współpracy z Domem Spotkań z Historią

Shrove Tuesday—Mardi Gras—is now celebrated with pancakes and parades, but in 17th century London, it was another story altogether. For years, local apprentices used the holiday as an excuse to attack sex workers and vandalize brothels. The damage in 1668 was so severe that London's sex workers petitioned the king's mistress to help. This week on DSH, we talk about (and attempt to read) The Poor Whores' Petition of 1668.

Before his time with CDSH, Drew was the CIO at DSH for four years where he managed the enterprise server and networking team, as well as the client and field services team. And prior to that, he held technology positions at the California Highway Patrol and the California Secretary of State. With his extensive background with California State departments, Drew shares stories of data, remote work, and state hospitals adjusting to the pandemic.
Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee are probing the “historically low” rate of arrests of illegal immigrants by ICE, saying it appears the Biden administration, unwilling to abolish the agency outright, is instead paring it down through policy memos. As Stephen Dinan reports, Republicans are demanding data on why the agency, which has not lost any funding, is arresting and deporting people at a much slower pace than in the past. Plus, Homeland Security's special visa program to grant legal status to victims of crime is plagued by fraud and mismanagement, according to an inspector general's audit released this week that found the department doesn't even know how many of the visas are issued. Stephen joins Andy to explain.
In this episode of the Darshan Talks Podcast, host Darshan Kulkarni Pharm.D, MS, Esq. discuss 340B Pharmacy Programs with guest Rita Baskett. Rita Baskett RPh, MBA/MHA, CEO of Integrated Pharmacy Services, Inc. that is a consulting firm that concentrates on 340B solutions. The company focus on the integration of compliant pharmacy solutions to improve costs and health outcomes through the use of government programs (when applicable and qualified) and technology partners. 340B is a part of statute written in 1992 with the federal registrar that requires drug manufacturers to provide outpatient drugs to eligible health care organizations and covered entities at significantly reduced prices. The 340B Program enables covered entities to stretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services. The hospital started using 340B for retail prescriptions and later it morphed into mix used areas including emergency room, observation status, etc. There are certain hospitals that qualify and one of the criteria is it has to be non-profit, the drugs are intended for outpatient use. The second criterion requires that the hospital have a sufficient Medicare disproportionate share hospital (DSH) adjustment percentage. DSH hospitals must have an adjustment percentage greater than 11.75 percent for the most recent cost reporting period ending before the calendar quarter involved. Sole community hospitals and Rural referral centers must have an adjustment percentage of greater than 8 percent. Connect with Rita Baskett: On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rita-bask...

Jeden z najbardziej spektakularnych obiektów handlowych Śródmieścia oddany został do użytku w 1909 r. Był przykładem architektury, która miała nie tylko unowocześniać miejski pejzaż, ale też wspierać nowe modele ekonomiczne, porządkować i cywilizować chaotyczny żywioł miejski. Odbudowana po zniszczeniach wojennych, w PRL-u cieszyła się ogromną popularnością wśród warszawiaków. Po 1989 r. stopniowo podupadała, by w stulecie swojego powstania niemal całkowicie zniknąć w wyniku decyzji ówczesnego właściciela o wyburzeniu znaczącej części obiektu. Dziś Hala Koszyki jest przykładem przywrócenia do życia zabytku ważnego dla tożsamości miasta. Nowa Hala jest raczej interpretacją niż kopią oryginału. To, co było najcenniejsze w pierwotnym projekcie, łączy się tu z nowoczesną architekturą i z miejskością opartą na konsumpcji, niedostępną ekonomicznie wcześniejszym bywalcom popularnych Koszyków. Jak to się stało? Posłuchajcie! W odcinku wypowiadają się: Magda Buxhoeveden – mieszkanka Śródmieścia; Hanna Cieplińska – mieszkanka Warszawy, zapis wspomnienia z Archiwum Historii Mówionej; Genowefa Jasny – mieszkanka Warszawy, zapis wspomnienia z Archiwum Historii Mówionej; Justyna Kościńska – Stowarzyszenie Miasto Jest Nasze, wydział Socjologii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego; Michał Krasucki – historyk sztuki, Stołeczny Konserwator Zabytków;Jerzy S.

Koneser zmienił Pragę Północ przynajmniej dwa razy: najpierw pod koniec XIX wieku, kiedy powstała tam nowoczesna i imponująca swoją architekturą Warszawska Wytwórnia Wódek Koneser. Potem, w 2017 roku, kiedy po rewitalizacji i gruntownej modernizacji, teren ten wraz z odrestaurowanymi budynkami, nowo utworzonym placem miejskim, został przywrócony miastu i po raz pierwszy w historii otworzył się na Warszawę i stał się przestrzenią publiczną. Na obszarze 5 hektarów działają dziś rozliczne podmioty: kampus Googla, restauracje, sklepy i oczywiście Muzeum Wódki Polskiej Koneser. Powstały budynki mieszkalne o ciekawej architekturze dopasowanej stylistycznie do otoczenia. Powstanie Centrum Praskiego Koneser było niezwykle oczekiwane, ale też bardzo bacznie obserwowane przez mieszkańców Pragi i lokalnych aktywistów. Zastanawiano się do jakiego stopnia nowa inwestycja przywróci, a do jakiego wypchnie ducha starej Pragi. Przyglądano się rozwiązaniom, jakie zostaną przyjęte podczas prac nad historyczną tkanką dawnej fabryki, która – co zawsze wszystkich dziwi – przestała działać w 2007 r. z powodu bankructwa. Jak to się stało? Posłuchajcie! W odcinku wypowiadają się: Jacek Grunt-Mejer, pełnomocnik prezydenta m.st. Warszawy ds. rewitalizacji; Jerzy S.

Jest świetnym przykładem znakomicie przeprowadzonego kompleksowego remontu w obiekcie zabytkowym. Budynek Warszawskiego Szpitala dla Dzieci przy ulicy Kopernika prezentuje się wspaniale, choć schowany w cieniu sąsiedztwa imponującego gmachu Pałacu Staszica zajmowanego przez Polską Akademię Nauk, bywa niezauważany. Otwarcie pierwszego warszawskiego szpitala dziecięcego umożliwiły darowizny, składki i bale charytatywne, a odpowiednią kwotę, by wybudować budynek, który do dziś służy najmłodszym mieszkańcom stolicy, zebrano dzięki pomocy zamożnych mieszkańców. Uruchomiony w 1875 r. dysponował 79 miejscami. W czasie II wojny światowej uległ poważnym zniszczeniom, w latach 90. XX wieku omal nie został zlikwidowany. A jednak działa do dziś, jest ważną placówką na warszawskiej mapie opieki zdrowotnej, przyjmuje najmłodszych pacjentów i zachwyca pięknie odrestaurowanymi fasadą i wnętrzami. Jak to się stało?

Dzisiejszy hotel Warszawa to jeden z ikonicznych budynków stolicy. Wzniesiony przez towarzystwo ubezpieczeniowe Prudential, był najwyższym wieżowcem przedwojennej Polski. Zaprojektowany w stylu modernistycznym przez znakomity zespół architektoniczno-konstruktorski, był ozdobą ówczesnego centrum finansowego Warszawy. Mieścił biura i apartamenty. Tuż przed wojną stał się siedzibą pierwszej, eksperymentalnej stacji telewizyjnej. Prudential w czasie powstania warszawskiego szybko trafił w ręce powstańców, którzy umieścili na nim polską flagę. Mimo ostrego ostrzału – fotografie przedstawiające moment bombardowania budynku stały się symbolem walczącej Warszawy – pozostał niezdobyty. Po wojnie, odebrany właścicielom na mocy dekretu Bieruta, odbudowany został jako hotel w stylu socrealistycznym, zresztą zgodnie z projektem swojego oryginalnego architekta Marcina Weinfelda. W latach 90. XX wieku mocno podupadł, w 2002 r. został zamknięty, a następnie sprzedany. Zakupiony ostatecznie przez krakowską rodzinę Likusów, doczekał się renowacji i drugiego życia. Wieżowiec zaprojektowany był oryginalnie jako bardzo nowoczesny i tę świetność renowacja przeprowadzona przez nowych właścicieli mu przywróciła. Na szczycie budynku znajduje się luksusowy apartament, hotel może przyjąć 300 osób w 142 pokojach, w restauracji można podziwiać oryginalne fundamenty. Od zewnątrz odzyskał przedwojenną lekkość, wnętrza znów stały się bardzo eleganckie. Jak to się stało? Posłuchajcie!

Trudno sobie dziś wyobrazić Warszawę bez nadrzecznych bulwarów. Kiedy tylko wiosna daje pierwsze oznaki, kto może jedzie nad Wisłę, żeby pospacerować, pojeździć rowerem, pobiegać lub po prostu posiedzieć na schodkach albo w jednej z modnych i popularnych kawiarni. To dziś bezsprzecznie najpopularniejsze miejsce spotkań, w którym mieszają się wszystkie grupy społeczne, style życia, poglądy i upodobania. To miejsce, w którym możemy zobaczyć z kim dzielimy miasto, zaprezentować się sobie nawzajem i tym, którzy przyjechali tylko na chwilę: pozwiedzać lub popracować. A jeszcze kilkanaście lat temu miasto było odcięte od rzeki Wisłostradą, mało kto spędzał tu czas. Dzięki decyzji o wpuszczeniu ruchliwej wielopasmowej drogi w podziemny tunel stolica odzyskała wspaniały teren, a odkąd pojawiły się tu popularne instytucje: Centrum Nauki Kopernik, Muzeum Sztuki Nowoczesnej, a przede wszystkim Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, zaczęła się złota era bulwarów.

Był przedmiotem zachwytów i nie mniej gorących sporów i krytyki. Powstał z inicjatywy dewelopera inwestującego w biurowce, który zaproponował warszawiakom i warszawiankom plac w pełni zaprojektowany, nowoczesny, z wieloma funkcjami, z programem wydarzeń zachęcającym do spędzania czasu wolnego i z całodobową ochroną. Na placu posadzono 160 drzew, co było w tamtym czasie gorących dyskusji o zazielenianiu miasta, niemałą sensacją. Orzeźwienie i frajdę dla najmłodszych zapewniały zbiorniki wodne i fontanny. Wszystko to sprawiło, że zaprojektowana przez pracownię Wirtz International Landscape Architects przestrzeń w 2017 r. została wyróżniona głosami mieszkańców w III edycji Nagrody Architektonicznej Prezydenta Warszawy. Dziś plac Europejski jest w połowie placem budowy – powstaje tu kolejny budynek wznoszony przez właściciela działki. Ale nadal prowokuje do dyskusji o relacjach kapitału z dobrem wspólnym, o jakości przestrzeni publicznej otaczającej budynki komercyjne, o możliwościach łączenia sprzecznych czasem interesów w imię dobra miasta i mieszkańców. Plac Europejski był pierwszym tak spektakularnym działaniem podmiotu komercyjnego na rzecz miasta. Dziś tego rodzaju działania stają się standardem. Jak to się stało? Posłuchajcie!

Zbudowane w 1945 r. w ramach powojennej pomocy dla Warszawy drewniane Osiedle Jazdów jest dziś niezwykle cennym obszarem eksperymentu społeczno-przestrzennego. Położone w sercu miasta, ukryte w zieleni, jest przykładem innej niż betonowa logiki miasta. Ochronione przed likwidacją i przekazaniem pod zabudowę dzięki protestom mieszkańców, stało się centrum kreatywności społecznej. Dziś, w ramach Otwartego Jazdowa, realizowane są tu ogólnodostępne działania społeczne, kulturalne, edukacyjne, artystyczne. Podtrzymywana jest także wiedza o architektonicznych walorach osiedla, które – co ważne – było pierwszym wybudowanym po wojnie osiedlem mieszkaniowym. Domki fińskie są cennym zabytkiem Warszawy, a jednocześnie aktywną przestrzenią bujnego życia społecznego i przyrodniczego. A jak to się stało? Posłuchajcie!

Popularny i bardzo lubiany gmach Biblioteki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego znajdujący się na Powiślu jest nie tylko siedzibą wielu instytucji, ale projektem, który swoim zasięgiem objął środowisko uniwersyteckie, mieszkańców Warszawy i turystów. Odmienił Śródmieście stolicy i jest najlepszym przykładem tego, że dobrze zaprojektowany budynek może wprowadzić głębokie, wielopoziomowe zmiany w swoim najbliższym otoczeniu i w sposobie praktykowania miejskości. Jak warszawskie Powiśle z najbiedniejszej dzielnicy stało się jednym z najmodniejszych miejsc? Wyobraźnia architekta Marka Budzyńskiego dała Warszawie oryginalną, budzącą emocję architekturę, po raz pierwszy dach budynku stał się otwartą przestrzenią publiczną i to w dodatku z ogrodem. BUW to budynek, który zbliżył miasto do rzeki, nauczył nas wypoczywać na bulwarach. A jak to się stało? Posłuchajcie!

DSH and I talk egg preference, chicken life, pandemic publishing (not recommended), book reviews, douchey agents, conflict vs. character in writing, the great comedy that is PEN15, and then a deep dive into the 80s classic, RoboCop (which was evidently SUCH good satire, that the director, Paul Verhoeven, almost passed on it...)
This week on DSH, we look at the life of 18th century prizefighter Daniel Mendoza, who paved the way for acceptance of the Jewish community in Georgian London and changed boxing forever.
This week, we are joined by Steven Miller, vice president of pharmacy services at 340B Health. The Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) recently announced that annual 340B recertification for hospitals will begin on Aug. 16, 2021. Steve discusses what 340B hospitals need to know about preparing for recertification and avoiding common errors during the process. Prior to the interview, we provide news updates on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposing to continue Medicare Part B cuts to many 340B hospitals and new legislation introduced in Congress to protect 340B hospitals from discriminatory payment rules by pharmacy benefit managers and health insurers. The Purpose of Recertification340B hospitals must go through the recertification process to confirm and validate the accuracy of their information and ensure they comply with all program requirements. Steve recommends that 340B hospitals begin getting into the habit of preparing for recertification as soon as they qualify for the program and look at their policies and procedures to confirm they align with the 340B statute. The Recertification StepsSteve explains the steps of the recertification process. He stresses the importance of reviewing information for the parent hospital first and then any child sites. The hospital will need to review the qualification information to confirm that the information on the most recent Medicare cost report matches with the information in OPAIS. If the information does not match, the hospital can make the changes in the recertification task and upload the supporting documentation. Steve also explains the Medicaid Exclusion File and why it is a critical component to recertification.Best Practices For 340B Hospitals RecertifyingSteve shares common errors made when recertifying. The most common error is the authorizing official (AO) not checking every single qualification requirement. These include DSH percentage and Medicare cost report filing date. Steve recommends having both the primary contact and the AO review the information separately to ensure accuracy. He also encourages checking to ensure everything in OPAIS is saved correctly and taking screenshots of each screen in case the information does not save. Resources For 340B RecertificationMembers of 340B Health have access to several resources to prepare for recertification and registration. Members can reach out to 340B Health to set up a technical assistance call with a 340B Health staff expert. Steve also recommends members attend a webinar on Aug. 12, 2021, that will review the recertification process and highlight any new changes for this year. Check out all of our episodes on the 340B Insight podcast website. You also can stay updated on all 340B Health news and information by visiting our homepage.

Once as common as aspirin, laudanum was immortalized in 19th century literature and still pops up in period dramas today. So what was it? Opium and alcohol, and it was used for *everything.* Today on DSH, we're talking about those uses—authorized and otherwise—and looking at Thomas de Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater

So you think kink is modern? In Regency London, dominatrix Theresa Berkley opened a multistory sex dungeon and became a self-made millionaire. More on Theresa and the English Vice today on DSH
The Danvers State Hospital, also known as the State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers, The Danvers Lunatic Asylum, and The Danvers State Insane Asylum, was a psychiatric hospital located on what was once known as Hawthorne Hill, in Danvers, Massachusetts. This is ironically where the Salem Witch Trials judge, John Hathorne, once lived. Which, sounds like a future train ride or bonus… maybe. It’s been done a lot. And HOLY SHIT was that a fucked up situation. If you think people are judgmental now, OH BOY! Once occupied on a hilltop site of over 500 acres with a commanding view of Boston 18 miles to the south. Known as Hawthorne Hill, Porter Hill, and Dodge's Hill, the Commonwealth purchased the site in 1874 from Francis Dodge, who owned the 200 acre Dodge Farm and was a local farmer and Civil War veteran, for a whopping $39,542, right around $907,322.41 in today's money. It was laviously covered with established oak, pine, and apple groves. Speaking of apples, my family owns the distinct privilege of finding and documenting the first “Golden Delicious'' apple tree. The original tree was found on the Mullins' family farm (My grandmother was a Mullins) in Clay County, West Virginia, in the U.S. of Fuckin’ A, and was locally known as Mullin's Yellow Seedling and Annit apple. Maybe you don’t give a shit and maybe you do. Either way, that’s now a part of YOUR useless knowledge. Suggit! Just kidding… kind of. The State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers was erected, (erected… hehe) under the supervision of prominent Boston architect Nathaniel J Bradlee, in an extremely rural, out-of-the-way location.The immediate crisis which precipitated the building of a mental hospital north of Boston was the imminence in the early 1870's of the closing of the facility at South Boston. In 1873, Worcester, Taunton and Northampton and the 1866 Tewksbury Asylum for chronic patients were already housing 1300 patients in buildings designed for 1000; So, a LITTLE tiny bit crowded. And another 1200 patients were scattered about in various other hospitals. At a cost of $1.5 million at the time, right around $39,237,300 the hospital originally consisted of two main center buildings, housing the administration, with four radiating wings on each side of the Administration Block. Said to be the inspiration for our own episode topic H.P. Lovecraft’s Arkham Sanatorium, Danvers had a gothic design that has captured the imagination of horror aficionados, the world over. The kitchen, laundry, chapel, and dormitories for the attendants were in a connecting building in the rear. Middleton Pond supplied the hospital its water. On each side of the main building were the wings, for male and female patients respectively. The outermost wards were reserved for the most hostile patients. It included space for patients, attendants, and administration, reflecting a centralized approach to care. Later buildings were added such as the Male and Female Nurses Homes representing the segregation of patients and staff; the male & female tubercular buildings and the Bonner Medical Building represent specialization of medical treatment; the cottages, repair shops and farm buildings represent an increased self-sufficiency for the hospital, an emphasis on occupational therapy and increased dispersal of the hospital population. A circumferential (my 10 point scrabble word) and interior road network serviced the entire complex. The hospital opened on May 1st, 1878 and the hospital's first patients arrived on May 13th. Dr. Calvin S. May was appointed Superintendent through 1880. Previous to Danvers, Dr. May was an Assistant Physician at the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane from 1874-1877, and for 1877 was Acting Superintendent. While Danvers was originally established to provide residential treatment and care to the mentally ill, its functions expanded to include a training program for nurses in 1889 and a pathological research laboratory in 1895. By the 1920's the hospital was operating school clinics to help determine mental deficiency in children. During the 1960's as a result of increased emphasis on alternative methods of treatment and deinstitutionalization and community based mental health care, the inpatient population started to decrease. Danvers State Hospital closed on June 24, 1992 due to budget cuts within the mental health system by the former Governor, William Weld. Danvers State Hospital, originally known as the State Lunatic Hospital at Danvers, was significant in both architectural and social history. Designed in 1874 by noted Boston architect, N.J. Bradlee, it is an implementation of the nationally recognized Kirkbride plan. When built it represented the latest contemporary advances in technology and engineering as well as architecture. Later additions reflect changes in mental health care philosophy and contribute to an understanding of the overall functioning of the hospital. Historically, Danvers State Hospital was significant for its leading role in treatment of the insane including an advanced occupational therapy program, early training facilities for staff, and a long-term concern with community health issues. Thus, Danvers State Hospital possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship. Concern for the disadvantaged, including the poor, the sick, and the mentally disturbed, was recognized as a responsibility of the public sector in Massachusetts since its early 17th century settlement period. Until the mid-19th century, the charge for their care rested primarily with the towns in which they resided through locally established poor farms: As the towns' duties in 'this regard- became unwieldy and largely' unfulfilled, due to in part to the pressures of immigration and rapidly increasing numbers of unsettled poor, the state stepped in first establishing the Board of Commissioners of Alien Passengers (1851) and in 1863 the Board of State Charities. Though still administratively combined, different facilities and types of care were gradually provided to victims of varying types of misfortune. For example, by 1863, three state hospitals specifically to care for the insane had been built: at Worcester (1877), at Taunton (1854), and at Northampton (1856). . Bradlee's design for Danvers State Hospital was based on his unbuilt 1867 plan and 1868 plan for an insane asylum at Winthrop. Many locations were picked including Nahant, Chelsea, Dorchester and Roxbury but the state purchased land in Winthrop. After numerous appeals to relocate Winthrop to another location, Danvers was finally chosen. A logical choice of the Danvers commissioners in December 1873, he prepared for this project by researching hospitals at Worcester, MA Poughkeepsie, NY, Concord, NH, Philadelphia, Trenton, and one under construction at Morristown, NJ. On this basis, he asked for $900,000 almost half again what the commissioners had allotted in April and picked draftsman James F. Ellis to be superintending architect during its construction. The Danvers site, was chosen for its beauty, privacy, view, and farming potential. Eighteen miles north of Boston, 2 miles west of Danvers, 7 miles from the coal port at Salem, accessibility to visitors and a supply of heating fuel were also deciding factors. The "Swan's Crossing" station (later renamed Asylum Station) on the Lawrence Branch of the Eastern Railroad sat on the northern border of the tract. Under the supervision of Lynn engineer Charles Hammond, an overall site plan was drawn up, locating the main building on the crown of Hathorne Hill and providing also for a support network of roads and room for a farming operation. Bitter controversy over the building of Danvers State Hospital centered around its configuration, ornamentation and cost. Construction began May l, 1874, eventually cost a whopping $1,464, 940. 57. Many agreed that "Danvers rank(ed) among the foremost in its facilities for convenience in practical operation, its provisions for securing that purity of atmosphere which is necessary to the perfection of hygienic conditions and in its general adaptation to the purpose for which it was intended." They explained "the plan, the style, the architect, and the thoroughness and permanence of the work already performed." In 1877 an inquiry was held into cost overruns during which the issue of the hospital's style, dubbed "Domestic Gothic" by Bradlee, inevitably surfaced. The Commissioners defended their plans which when exhibited at the International Exhibition in Philadelphia, received the only award made to this country for plans for an insane hospital. Others lined up behind Senator Sanborn who, calling it the "Hospital Palace at Danvers", argued that "even many a royal palace is neither so large nor so pretentious architecturally as the hospital at Danvers." (Sanborn, E.F.; The Hospital Palace at Danvers ; 1877). Pliny Earle, then Superintendent at the State Lunatic Asylum in Northampton "decried the trend to excessive ornamentation in hospital architecture, preferring comfortable interiors to 'gorgeous exteriors', suggesting that domes, towers, and turrets are very appropriately situated 'at universities like Harvard and Yale but are scarcely appropriate' when they stand as monuments over the misfortune and the miseries of men. "(Lucy Sanborn, The towers and turrets were in fact necessary to the building's ventilating system, not merely stylistic features.) The investigating committee concluded that several errors in judgment had been made. While the hospital commissioners were “superseded” early as a reprimand, a $150,000 appropriation was awarded to allow the completion of construction. The first patient was admitted May 13, 1878. Provision of pure water, an important component in 19th century mental health therapy, was also the subject of argument during the construction and early years of the hospital. The nearby Ipswich River was explored early as a source. Ultimately, the town of Danvers, which had in 1874 established its own water supply from Middleton Pond at Wills' Hill, indicated its willingness to service the hospital's needs as well. In 1876, an agreement was struck whereby the town would build its own intermediate reservoir on the grounds to supply a gravity feed system via a series of ten 5000 gallon tanks in the attic. The towns' inability to cope with a rapidly rising and undigested anti-social population was not the only impetus behind state involvement in mental health. Another important component was the move away from "demonology" toward moral treatment of the insane, a cause which was loudly and publicly championed by such social reformers as Boston's Dorothea Lynde Dix. Her energetic career (1841-1887) had significant local as well as national and international impact. Ok, so what the fuck is “demonolgy”? Demonology, as some of you dark sumbitches may know, is the study of demons or beliefs about demons. They may be nonhuman, separable souls, or discarnate spirits which have never inhabited a body. Once smarty pants doctors and psychologists realized that people were mentally ill and stopped pointing their fingers at them for being “possessed by the goddamn devil!”, science slowly moved in and people started to receive the help they needed. At mid-century, the humanistic approach toward care of the insane was generally accepted, about time, dummies...yet controversy still surrounded the form or building arrangement such institutions should assume. Some, heavily represented on the State Board of Charities, favored the dispersion of the dependent as opposed to their congregation. The other faction in the controversy, which found many supporters in the Association of Medical' Superintendents, favored a large, highly centralized complex. Chief proponent of the centralized plan was Thomas S. Kirkbride, M.D., L.L.D. (1809-1883), a founder of the American Psychiatric Association, physician to the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane, and friend of Dorothea Lynde Dix. Sorry about your name, Dorothea. Dr. Thomas Story Kirkbride, who is a legitimate badass and who served the Pennsylvania Hospital as the superintendent from 1841-1883 created a humane and compassionate environment for his patients, and believed that beautiful settings restored patients to a more natural "balance of the senses". Dr. Kirkbride's progressive therapies and innovative writings on hospital design along with management became known as the (DUN DUN DUN) Kirkbride Plan, which influenced, in one form or another, almost every American state hospital by the turn of the century including Danvers. Kirkbride the badass devised a specific institutional model, thereafter known as the (DUN DUN DUN) Kirkbride Plan, which was built upon in all thirty states then in existence and in several European cities. H.H. Richardson, the prominent American architect. for example, built a variation of the Kirkbride Plan hospital in Buffalo, NY in the early 1870s in cooperation with Frederick Law Olmsted. The Kirkbride Plan provided that mental hospitals should: be built “in the country” though accessible at all seasons be set on grounds of at least 100 acres house a maximum of 250 patients be built of stone or brick with slate or metal roof and otherwise made as fireproof as possible be composed of 8 wards, separated according to sex, and built according to other specifications as to size, location, and material of accommodations be organized with wings flanking a central administration building house the most "excited" patients in the end or outermost wings provide an abundance of "pure fresh air" Kirkbride's hospitals were intended as monuments to the belief that most insane are curable and thus that the function of the hospital is primarily curative and not custodial. That curative process was to be greatly enhanced by pleasant surroundings, fresh air, and pure water. Fully developed Massachusetts' examples of the Kirkbride Plan exist at Danvers and at Worcester By the turn of the 20th century, Danvers State Hospital had outgrown its site and facilities. Therefore, in 1902 an additional 100 acres straddling the towns of Danvers and Middleton, was purchased and a major building campaign was undertaken. Twentieth century additions to the hospital reflect not only growth of the patient population, but also an increased emphasis on occupational therapy and current theories of decentralized care. Large barns (demolished) were built as were new buildings for the men who helped out the farming venture. Grove Hall and Farm Hall and for women chronic patients (Middleton Colony 1903). In fact, after the very first year of its operation, once the layout was decided, roads, fences, piggery, corn barn, wagon shed, manure cellar, and apple orchard were in place. After only the second, 50 cords of wood and 10,386 lbs. of fresh pork were realized. The farm continued to grow and prosper and soon became a famous model. The Danvers onion, locally derived by the Gregory Seed Co., was among the many vegetables grown. Elaborate pleasure gardens were established adjacent to the Kirkbride complex to supplement recreational therapy programs. In fact, the Danvers State Hospital was so remarkable that it attracted 12,000 yearly visitors as early as 1880. In addition to visiting patients, they brought contributions of books, magazines, and flowers and conducted religious services. Thus, was established a pattern of community involvement for which the hospital would later become noted. As originally established, the Danvers hospital was to be run by a resident Superintendent appointed by an unpaid lay Board of Trustees, chosen by the Governor. Central authority lay with the Board of State Charities (after 1879-The State Board of Health, Lunacy and Charity). In 1898 the leadership role of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts radically advanced with the information of the State Board of Insanity, the first in the United States. Landmark legislation: took the poor out of the almshouses and put them under state control. introduced occupational therapy and social services. emphasized mental hygiene, and called for professional training of nurses and attendants. Danvers State Hospital became a leader in the implementation of these progressive and humanitarian tenets, becoming one of "the most advanced institutions of the kind in the country providing all practical means possible for intelligent treatments of insanity as a disease." (Frank E. Moynaham (Publisher), Danvers, Massachusetts (Danvers: Danvers Mirror, 1899) Danvers State made extensive early use of occupational therapy. In addition to working the farm and greenhouses, patients repaired facilities (like the reservoir-1912), dug tunnels (like the one to the Nurses' Home-1913), and built small buildings (like the 1917 slaughter house built from patient-made concrete blocks). They also made shoes and participated in other crafts and Montessori kindergarten exercises. Patient crafts were sold to the public and exhibited (along with displays about the hospital's latest therapeutic techniques) at exhibitions; like the Boston Mechanics Hall Textile Show (1916) and the one at Stoneham (1919). Mental and physical hygiene at Danvers State was guided by the most advanced contemporary thinking (despite epidemics such as the great outbreak of bacillary dysentery of 1908 in which 36 died). Primary ingredients in the program were recreational therapy (gardens, etc.) fresh air supplied by an advanced ventilating system, and especially hydrotherapy. It was believed that the use of water baths to ameliorate the clogged condition of the brain would allow for the discontinuance of irritating restraints and depressing drugs and advanced pathology department supported the hygiene effort. Danvers State Hospital established the second nursing school in Massachusetts (1889) and the second nurses' home in the state (Gray Gables-1898). It had already pioneered by being the first Massachusetts mental hospital to hire a woman doctor (1879). By the end of the 1920s, two large nurses' homes had been built on the property, one for female nurses and the other for male. The hospital was a leader in the area of community involvement from the start. As early as 1907, the Superintendent was advocating a preventive mental health program. In 1909 the "Danvers Series" was inaugurated to share the results of research at the hospital. By 1912 there was an active community mental health program. "From such beginnings grew the Massachusetts Plan in which the state hospital is regarded as the center of mental hygiene and psychiatric activity throughout the district." About the same time the Massachusetts Plan was being popularized, 1938, the current Department of Mental Health was set up. It succeeded the Commission on Mental Diseases, which had replaced the State Board of Insanity in 1916. By the 1920s the hospital was operating school clinics to help determine mental deficiency in children. Reports were made that various inhumane shock therapies, lobotomies, drugs, and straitjackets were being used to keep the crowded hospital under control. This sparked controversy. Shock therapy and straight jackets became the norm. The thinking was that jolts of electricity could either alter a patient’s brain or make the patient afraid of shock therapy and scare them into submission. When they misbehaved, they were put in straight jackets and forgotten. When shock therapy failed, the lobotomies started. In 1939, the medical community was looking for a permanent fix to the crisis facing mental health facilities. The population of the hospital swelled to 2,360. A total of 278 people died at the hospital that year. Medical science saw lobotomies as a cure for anyone’s insanity, and as a way to stop the deaths. Neurology experts often called Danvers State Hospital the “birthplace of the prefrontal lobotomy.” Brought to the US and perfected by Dr. Walter Freeman, most while at Danvers. The moniker came from its widespread use, but also from the deplorable procedures refinement at the hospital. What is a lobotomy, you may ask yourself, well… self, I’ll tell you. LOBOTOMY (from the Greek lobos, meaning lobes of the brain, and tomos, meaning cut) is a psychosurgical procedure in which the connections the prefrontal cortex, the section of the frontal cortex that lies at the very front of the brain, in front of the premotor cortex, and underlying structures are severed, or the frontal cortical tissue is destroyed, the theory being that this leads to the uncoupling of the brain's emotional centres and the seat of intellect (in the subcortical structures and the frontal cortex, respectively). The lobotomy was first performed on humans in the 1890s. About half a century later, it was being touted by some as a miracle cure for mental illness, and its use became widespread; during its heyday in the 1940s and '50s, the lobotomy was performed on some 40,000 patients in the United States, and on around 10,000 in Western Europe. The procedure became popular because there was no alternative, and because it was seen to alleviate several social crises: overcrowding in psychiatric institutions, and the increasing cost of caring for mentally ill patients. Um, because they were making ZOMBIES!! Although psychosurgery has been performed since the dawn of civilization, the origins of the modern lobotomy are found in animal experiments carried out towards the end of the nineteenth century. The German physiologist Friedrich Goltz (1834-1902) performed SURGICAL removal of the neocortex in dogs, and observed the changes in behaviour that occurred as a result: I have mentioned that dogs with a large lesion in the anterior part of the brain generally show a change in character in the sense that they become excited and quite apt to become irate. Dogs with large lesions of the occipital lobe on the other hand become sweet and harmless, even when they were quite nasty before. Poor dogs...These findings inspired the physician Gottlieb Burkhardt (1836- ?), the director of a small asylum in Prefargier, Switzerland, to use these removals of the cortex to try and cure his mentally ill patients. In 1890, Burkhardt removed parts of the frontal cortex from 6 of his schizophrenic patients. One of these patients later committed suicide, and another died within one week of his surgery. Thus, although Burkhardt believed that his method had been somewhat successful, he faced strong opposition, and stopped experimenting with brain surgery. Quitter. It was not until the 1930s that lobotomy was again performed on humans. The modern procedure was pioneered at that time by the Portugese neuropsychiatrist Antonio Egas Moniz, a professor at the University of Lisbon Medical School. While attending a frontal lobe symposium in London, Moniz learned of the work of Carlyle Jacobsen and John Fulton, both of whom were experimental neurologists at Yale University. Jacobsen and Fulton reported that frontal and prefrontal cortical damage in chimpanzees led to a massive reduction in aggression, while complete removal of the frontal cortex led to the inability to induce experimental neuroses in the chimps. Here, they describe the post-operational behaviour of a chimp named "Becky", who had previously got extremely distressed after making mistakes during the task she had learnt: The chimpanzee...went to the experimental cage. The usual procedure of baiting the cup and lowering the opaque screen was followed...If the animal made a mistake, it showed no evidence of emotional disturbance but quietly awaited the loading of the cups for the next trial. It was as if the animal had joined the "happiness cult of the Elder Micheaux," and had placed its burdens on the Lord! On hearing the presentation by Jacobsen and Fulton, Moniz asked if the surgical procedure would be beneficial for people with otherwise untreatable psychoses. Although the Yale researchers were shocked by the question, Moniz, together with his colleague Almeida Lima, operated on his first patient some three months later. On November, 12th, 1935, Moniz and Lima performed for the first time what they called a prefrontal leucotomy ("white matter cutting"). The operation was carried out on a female manic depressive patient, and lasted about 30 minutes. The patient was first anaesthetized, and her skull was perforated on both sides (that is, holes were drilled through the bone). Then, absolute alcohol was injected through the holes in the skull, into the white matter beneath the prefrontal area. Jebus christmas! In this way, two of the bundles of nerve fibres connecting the frontal cortex and the thalamus were severed. (The thalamus is either of two masses of gray matter lying between the cerebral hemispheres of the brain on either side of the third ventricle, relaying sensory information and acting as a center for pain perception.) Moniz reported that the patient seemed less anxious and paranoid afterwards, and pronounced the operation a success. Subsequently, he and Lima used a knife, which, when inserted through the holes in the skull and moved back and forth within the brain substance would sever the thalamo-cortical connections. What the fuck!!!! They later developed a special wire knife called a leucotome, (that sounds better, doesn’t it?) which had an open steel loop at its end; when closed, the loop severed the nerve tracts within it. You know who else used an object like that? Yep! Egyptians who turned people into mummies. These procedures were "blind" - the exact path of the leucotome could not be determined, so the operations produced mixed results. Ya think?! In some cases, there were improvements in behaviour; in others, there was no noticeable difference; and in yet others, the symptoms being treated became markedly worse! In all, Moniz and Lima operated on approximately 50 patients. FIFTY! The best results were obtained in patients with mood disorders, while the treatment was least effective in schizophrenics. In 1936, Moniz published his findings in medical journals, and travelled to London, where he presented his work to others in the medical community. In 1949, he was shot four times by one of his patients (on a positive note, it wasn’t one who had been lobotomized… SHOCKER!); one of the bullets entered his spine and remained lodged there until his death some years later. In the same year as the shooting, Moniz was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine, for his innovations in neurosurgery AND SCRAMBLING PEOPLES BRAIN EGGS! So, what in the shit does this have to do with Danvers Lunatic asylum? Well... The American clinical neurologist Walter Freeman (1895-1972) had been following the work of Moniz closely, and had also attended the symposium on the frontal lobe. It was Freeman who introduced the lobotomy to the United States, and who would later become the biggest advocate of the technique. With neurosurgeon James Watts, Freeman refined the technique developed by Moniz. They changed the name of the technique to "lobotomy", to emphasize that it was white and grey matter that was being destroyed. The Freeman-Watts Standard Procedure was used for the first time in September 1936. Also known as "the precision method", this involved inserting a blunt spatula through holes in both sides of the skull; the instrument was moved up and down to sever the thalamo-cortical fibers (above). However, Freeman was unhappy with the new procedure. He considered it to be both time-consuming and messy, and so developed a quicker method, the so-called "ice-pick"lobotomy, Did you get that? ICE… PICK…! which he performed for the first time on January 17th, 1945. With the patient rendered unconscious by electroshock, an instrument was inserted above the eyeball, mmmhmmm... through the orbit using a hammer. (Calm down, Thor) Once inside the brain, the instrument was moved back and forth; this was then repeated on the other side. (The ice-pick lobotomy, named as such because the instrument used resembled the tool with which ice is broken, is therefore also known as the transorbital lobotomy. Freeman's new technique could be performed in about 10 minutes. Because it did not require anaesthesia, it could be performed outside of the clinical setting, and lobotomized patients did not need hospital internment afterwards. Thus, Freeman often performed lobotomies in his Washington D.C. office, much to the horror of Watts, who would later dissociate himself from his former colleague and the procedure, because fuck that guy! Freeman happily performed ice-pick lobotomies on anyone who was referred to him. During his career, he would perform almost 3,500 operations. Like the leucotomies performed by Moniz and Lima, those performed by Freeman were blind, and also gave mixed results. Some of his patients could return to work, while others were left in something like a vegetative state. Most famously, Freeman lobotomized President John F. Kennedy's sister Rosemary, who’s lobotomy was scheduled BY HER FATHER and without her mother knowing, because she was mentally impaired!! She was incapacitated by the operation, which was performed on her when she was only 23 years of age. Rosemary spent the next six decades hidden from the public in a Wisconsin Catholic institution, where she was cared for by nuns. She died there in 2005 at age 86. Her father never visited her again, and her siblings rarely spoke of her. WHAT THE FUCK, KENNEDYS!?! Also, on December 16th, 1960, Freeman notoriously performed an ice-pick lobotomy on a 12-year-old boy named Howard Dully, at the behest of Dully's wicked fucking stepmother, who had grown tired of his defiant behaviour. Howard went on to say “My stepmother hated me. I never understood why, but it was clear she'd do anything to get rid of me...If you saw me you'd never know I'd had a lobotomy. The only thing you'd notice is that I'm very tall and weigh about 350 pounds. But I've always felt different - wondered if something's missing from my soul. I have no memory of the operation, and never had the courage to ask my family about it. So [recently] I set out on a journey to learn everything I could about my lobotomy...It took me years to get my life together. Through it all I've been haunted by questions: 'Did I do something to deserve this?, Can I ever be normal?', and, most of all, 'Why did my dad let this happen?'” Dully's mother had died when he was 5 years old, and his father subsequently remarried a woman named Lou. Freeman's notes later revealed that Lou Dully feared her stepson, and described him as "defiant and savage-looking". According to the notes: He doesn't react to either love or punishment. He objects to going to bed but then sleeps well. He does a good deal of daydreaming and when asked about it says 'I don't know.' He turns the room's lights on when there is broad daylight outside. Freeman recorded the events leading up to Dully's lobotomy: [Nov. 30, 1960] Mrs. Dully came in for a talk about Howard. Things have gotten much worse and she can barely endure it. I explained to Mrs. Dully that the family should consider the possibility of changing Howard's personality by means of transorbital lobotomy. Mrs. Dully said it was up to her husband, that I would have to talk with him and make it stick. [Dec. 3, 1960] Mr. and Mrs. Dully have apparently decided to have Howard operated on. I suggested [they] not tell Howard anything about it. Following the operation, the notebook reads: I told Howard what I'd done to him...and he took it without a quiver. He sits quietly, grinning most of the time and offering nothing. About 40 years after his lobotomy, he discussed the operation with his father for the first time. He discovered that it was his stepmother who had found Dr. Freeman, after being told by other doctors that there was nothing wrong, and that his father had been manipulated by this evil cunt and Freeman into allowing the operation to be performed. Sorry about the C word, but...what would you call her? The poor kid probably had HDD or something far less problematic than the need for a FUCKING LOBOTOMY! It was largely because of Freeman that the lobotomy became so popular during the 1940s and '50s. He travelled across the U. S., teaching his technique to groups of psychiatrists who were not qualified to perform surgery. Freeman was very much a showman; he often deliberately tried to shock observers by performing two-handed lobotomies, or by performing the operation in a production line manner. (He once lobotomized 25 women in a single day.) Journalists were often present on his "tours'' of hospitals, so that his appearance would end up on the front page of the local newspaper; he was also featured in highly popular publications such as Time and Life. Often, these news stories exaggerated the success of lobotomy in alleviating the symptoms of mental illness. Consequently, the use of lobotomies became widespread. As well as being used to treat the criminally insane, lobotomies were also used to "cure" political dissidents. It was alleged that the procedure was used routinely on prisoners against their will, and the use of lobotomies was strongly criticised on the grounds that it infringed the civil liberties of the patients. An excellent account of the effects of lobotomy, and of the ethical implications of the use of the procedure, can be found in Ken Kesey's book One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. (This was made into a film in 1975, by Milos Forman, who received the Academy Award for Best Director. Jack Nicholson won the award for Best Actor in a Lead Role.) The use of lobotomies began to decline in the mid- to late-1950s, for several reasons. Firstly, although there had always been critics of the technique, opposition to its use became very fierce. Secondly, and most importantly, phenothiazine-based neuroleptic (anti-psychotic) drugs, such as chlorpromazine, became widely available. These had much the same effect as psychosurgery gone wrong; thus, the surgical method was quickly superseded by the chemical lobotomy. Visitors to Danvers State Hospital in the early 1940s reported lobotomy patients wandering aimlessly through the halls of the hospital. The patients didn’t complain, because many of them just stared blankly at walls. Patients walked around in a drugged, hellish daze. No one would let them leave and held them against their will. During the 1960s as a result of increased emphasis on alternative methods of treatment, deinstitutionalization, and community-based mental health care, the inpatient population started to decrease. Massive budget cuts in the 1960s played a major role in the progressive closing of Danvers State hospital. The hospital began closing wards and facilities as early as 1969. By 1985, the majority of the original hospital wards were closed or abandoned. The Administration Block, in the original Kirkbride, building closed in 1989. Patients were moved to the Bonner Medical Building across the campus. The great shift in mental health treatment came with the invention of psychopharmaceuticals, the early “hypnotics.” Though drugs like chloral hydrate, morphine, and opium had been in use for much of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the advent of modern antipsychotics such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine) “revolutionized” the care of the “mentally ill.” With the help of this new breed of drug, hospitals were able to admit and manage a greater number of patients. The population at Danvers peaked at nearly 3,000 in the late 1960’s and into the early 1970’s. Patients were regularly treated using not only psychotropic medications but also electroshock therapy, hydrotherapy, and psychosurgery (also known as the prefrontal lobotomy). Asylum populations began to shift dramatically and hospitals moved away from the centralized model, choosing instead to unitize, working with the various regions to provide as much community support as possible. Eventually reports began to surface of abuse and neglect within the hospital’s walls. Suspicious deaths, patient escapes, and violent assaults were all recorded. By the late 1980’s the hospital’s main operations were moved from the Kirkbride to the more modern Bonner Building across the way. By the time the remaining hospital buildings were closed down for good in 1992, the buildings had begun to decay and by and large the public was happy that the state hospital was no more. The doors to Bradlee’s architectural masterpiece were locked and the Castle on the Hill was abandoned. The remaining and lasting impression of Danvers State Hospital was that it was a snake pit where the mentally ill went to languish and often die. The entire campus was closed on June 24, 1992 and all patients were either transferred to the community or to other facilities In December 2005, the property was sold to AvalonBay Communities, a residential apartment developer. A lawsuit was filed by a local preservation fund to stave off the demolition of the hospital, including the Kirkbride building, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This did not stop the process, however, and demolition of most of the buildings began in January 2006, with the intent to build 497 apartments on the 77-acre (310,000 m2) site. By June 2006, all of the Danvers State Hospital buildings that were marked for demolition had been torn down, including all of the unused buildings and old homes on the lower grounds and all of the buildings on the hill. Demolition was done by Testa Corp. of Wakefield, Massachusetts. The historic Kirkbride was also demolished, with only the outermost brick shell of the administration area (along with the G and D wards on each side) being propped up during demolition and construction while an entirely new structure was built behind and inside of it, leaving the historic Danvers Reservoir and the original brick shell. Much of the wood from the demolition project was salvaged and recycled into flooring and other millwork. A replica of the original tower/steeple on the Kirkbride was built to duplicate what was removed around 1970, due to structural issues. (The first picture illustrates the original tower in 1893, the second and third pictures illustrate the new replica in 2006 and 2007, and the fourth picture illustrates the one from 1970.) Avalon Bay predicted that they would have properties available for rent or sale by Fall 2007. On April 7, 2007, four of the apartment complex buildings and four of Avalon Bay's construction trailers burned down in a large fire visible from Boston, nearly 17 mi (27 km) away. Damage was confined mostly to the buildings under construction on the eastern end, but the remaining Kirkbride spires caught fire due to the high heat. The tunnel leading up from the power plant still exists, but is blocked at the top of the hill. Only the exterior of the Kirkbride complex was preserved in the demolition, and the cemeteries, several blocked tunnels, and the brick shell of the administration and the D and G wings are all that remain from the original site. Richard Trask of the Danvers Archival Center wrote, concerning the state's failure to preserve the Kirkbride complex, noting: “The failure to protect and adaptively reuse this grand exterior is a monumental blot in the annals of Massachusetts preservation. What might have been a dignified transformation of a magnificent structure which was originally built to serve the best intentions, but at times lost its way through human frailty, now is a mere ghost-image of itself.” On June 27, 2014, Avalon Bay Communities, Inc,. sold the property for $108.5 M to the DSF Group. The DSF Group released plans for the property to undergo further renovations. The only remnants of the horrific practices that went on in Danvers State Hospital are the gravestones in two nearby cemeteries, which contain 770 bodies. Some headstones only have numbers as opposed to names. Even in death, administrators at Danvers State Hospital did not dignify their patients. There is a monument listing the patients’ names, but nothing on the grave markers. Many ghost hunters snuck into the property before it’s demolition. Very few of them captured any sort of evidence. In most cases, they caught phantom footsteps and a few shadows. There’s only been one eyewitness report to surface over the years. Jeralyn Levasseur stated she saw a ghost when she lived there as a child. The ghost pulled the sheets off her bed and it manifested as an older, scowling woman. Levasseur said she never felt threatened by the ghost. She also confirmed it only appeared one time. While the number of documented paranormal experiences may be low, there’s a great deal of potential ghostly activity at the hospital. From 1920-1945, the hospital and its staff committed horrible acts, including those horrendous lobotomies, systemic neglect and restraining children for days at time. Supposedly, this negative energy left a massive psychic imprint in the dark and decaying halls of Danvers. You may not see a ghost, but you can feel the patients’ pain from years ago. Some paranormal experts believe this may help create a personalized haunting. This means you may not see a patient’s ghost, but the building could manifest your inner fears, doubts and agony. Ok, listen… The following is A horrible account from a Danvers employee… this is pretty fuckin’ rough so if you don’t want to listen to it, I completely understand. It’s about the unfortunate death of a child. Skip ahead about 30 seconds if you need to. “Back when they started dual diagnosis, they transferred this 15-year-old boy from Hogan to DSH. This boy had a habit of crawling into heat ducts. The heat ducts don't go anywhere at Hogan, it's a newer building and you can't get hurt. Anyway, they sent him up and he was up there for about 3 weeks and he disappeared. We searched everywhere for him. We looked all over and we couldn't find him. The staff over at J ward started to notice a horrible smell getting worse and worse every day. Anyway, to make a long story short, he got inside the duct work in J Annex. The duct work in DSH goes right down to heating coils. He slid down, couldn't get up, got trapped and died. His feet landed right on the coils and literally burnt off up to his shins. I was there and had to go over there and help cut him out of the wall. There must have been 25 people in that room that day. The Medical Examiner, clinicians you name it. I cut the wall and Butch (The Tinsmith) was there to cut the tin duct work. When we cut through it all and opened it up the kid was right there and looked almost frozen. The pathologist reached in to take him out and his hands sunk into his chest like Jello. The smell was disgusting. It was a nasty stench and we all got sick. His death brought on a major, major state investigation. His parents were mad as hell and rightfully so. We had big wigs from Boston and the State Police lab up there for weeks. It was just a horrible experience. I've seen a lot in my 24 years and that was by far the worst.” Top Horror movies set in asylums/ mental hospitals Horror: Horror movies set in asylums/ mental hospitals - IMDb Ace’s Depot http://www.aces-depot.com BECOME A PRODUCER! http://www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast Find The Midnight Train Podcast: www.themidnighttrainpodcast.com www.facebook.com/themidnighttrainpodcast www.twitter.com/themidnighttrainpc www.instagram.com/themidnighttrainpodcast www.discord.com/themidnighttrainpodcast www.tiktok.com/themidnighttrainp And wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Wykład Grzegorza Cieślaka zorganizowany w ramach cyklu „Od Asasynów do Al-Kaidy”, Dom Spotkań z Historią [12 marca 2012] Kolejne spotkanie w cyklu o historii terroryzmu dotyczy Irlandzkiej Armii Republikańskiej (IRA). Przez kilkadziesiąt lat zamachy bombowe, polityczne zabójstwa, ostrzeliwanie domów z broni maszynowej były elementami dnia codziennego w Irlandii Północnej. Miasta były przedzielone murami i drutem kolczastym. Kim byli Óglaigh na hÉireann czyli Irlandzcy Ochotnicy? Dlaczego Powstanie Wielkanocne w 1916 roku uznaje się za początek IRA? Jak narodziła się legenda ideowej walki o status Irlandii Północnej? Spotkanie poprowadził Grzegorz Cieślak z Centrum Badań nad Terroryzmem Collegium Civitas, Koordynator Zespołu Analiz Zamachów Bombowych CBnT CC.

In this episode we discuss the newly signed Cares Act aimed at providing aid to businesses and individuals that have been impacted by the Coronavirus and the resulting economic shut-down. The application process for the Cares Act loans will take the form of a modified 7a SBA loan and will be processed through SBA approved lenders. On this episode, we have bank representatives, employment attorney, FSU Economics professor and business leaders in the restaurant industry. A recent post re: the summary of the Cares Act:Senate Passes the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”)26 March 2020 Coronavirus Resource Center BlogAuthors: Frank S. Murray Jr Jared B. Rifis Leah R. Imbrogno Jamie N. Class Matthew E. Sierawski Julia Di Vito Kaitlyn M. Foley As the coronavirus outbreak continues to wreak havoc on markets and industries in the United States and around the world, businesses are now confronting significant and unique challenges. Successful navigation of these challenges will require thoughtful and comprehensive planning. Foley has created a multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional team, which has prepared a wealth of topical client resources (see Foley’s Coronavirus Resource Center) and is prepared to help our clients meet the legal and business challenges that the coronavirus outbreak is creating for stakeholders across a range of industries, including manufacturing, technology, solar, hospitality and travel, healthcare, food, fashion and apparel, and sports and entertainment. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) – Summary of Bill Language and Key TakeawaysOn March 25, 2020, the Senate unanimously passed (96-0) the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), commonly known as “Phase Three” of coronavirus economic relief. The CARES Act provides much needed stimulus to individuals, businesses, and hospitals in response to the economic distress caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The bill passed on March 25 is not yet law. Until the CARES Act is passed by the House of Representatives and signed into law by the President, it is subject to revisions. The bill will now go to the House, which is currently not in session. The House may reconvene to address the bill or pass the bill by unanimous consent agreement. The House is expected to pass the bill without changes on March 27, and it will then be presented to the President for his signature.Additional information, updates, and analysis regarding the CARES Act will be posted on Foley’s Coronavirus Resource Center. Please check back frequently for updates. Foley is available to assist in interpretation of the CARES Act for your business and can help you find ways to claim and/or use available funding for your company. The CARES ActTop 10 Takeaways:Provides stimulus to individuals, businesses, and hospitals in response to the economic distress caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.Creates a $349 billion loan program for small businesses, including 501(c)(3) non-profits and physician practices. These loans can be forgiven through a process that incentivizes companies to retain employees.Allocates $500 billion for assistance to businesses, states, and municipalities, with no more than $25 billion designated for passenger air carriers, $4 billion for air cargo carriers, and $17 billion for businesses critical to maintaining national security. The remaining $454 billion may be used to support lending to eligible businesses, states, and municipalities.Allocates $130 billion in relief to the medical and hospital industries, including for medical supplies and drug and device shortages.Expands telehealth services in Medicare, including services unrelated to COVID-19 treatments.Provides $1,200 to Americans making $75,000 or less ($150,000 in the case of joint returns and $112,500 for head of household) and $500 for each child, to be paid “as rapidly as possible.”Expands eligibility for unemployment insurance and provides people with an additional $600 per week on top of the unemployment amount determined by each state.Expands the Defense Production Act, allowing for a period of two years when the government may correct any shortfall in resources without regard to the current expenditure limit of $50 million.Provides the Secretary of the Treasury with the authority to make loans or loan guarantees to states, municipalities, and eligible businesses and loosens a variety of regulations prior legislation imposed through the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, and others.Accompanied by supplemental appropriations to help the government respond to this pandemic.Summary of the CARES Act:Division A - Keeping American Workers Paid and Employed, Healthcare System Enhancements, and Economic Stabilization Title I – Keeping American Workers Paid and Employed Act Foley Title I Contacts: Jamie Class, Erin Toomey, Jessica Glatzer Mason, and Frank MurrayPaycheck Protection ProgramThe Paycheck Protection Loan Program, at a price tag of $349 billion, covers the period February 15, 2020 through June 30, 2020 and greatly expands SBA loan eligibility. The loan program will allow businesses suffering due to the coronavirus outbreak to borrow money for a variety of qualified costs related to employee compensation and benefits, including (i) payroll costs, (ii) continuation of health care benefits, (iii) employee compensation (of those making less than $100K), (iv) mortgage interest obligations, (v) rent, (vi) utilities and (vii) interest on debt incurred before the covered period.The legislation greatly expands the number of businesses (including non-profits) that are eligible for SBA loans and raises the maximum amount for such a loan by 2.5 x the average total monthly payroll costs, or up to $10 million. The interest rate may not to exceed 4%.Companies that employ no more than 500 employees are (or a greater number based on the size standard applicable to the industry) may be eligible. Certain companies in the Accommodation and Food Services Industry (NAICS Code 72) may be eligible if they have no more than 500 employees per physical location. In most cases, the number of employees is counted together with all affiliates.Waives affiliation rules under 13 C.F.R. 121.103 for any business with less than 500 employees in the Accommodation and Food Services Industry, certain franchise businesses and small businesses that receive financing through the Small Business Investment Company Act. Affiliation rules otherwise apply to determine eligibility.Waives the credit available elsewhere, personal guaranty and collateral requirements.For eligibility purposes, requires lenders to determine whether a business was operational on February 15, 2020, and had employees for whom it paid salaries and payroll taxes, or a paid independent contractor. (This is likely to be interpreted to replace the determination of repayment ability which is not possible during the crisis.)All or a portion of the loan may be forgivable and debt service payments may be deferred for up to 1 year.Entrepreneurial DevelopmentProvides funding to educate small businesses and their employees regarding (i) Federal resources available during this time, (ii) Hazards of COVID-19 and (iii) best practices around teleworking to prevent the spread of COVID-19.iii. State Trade Expansion ProgramAllows for federal grant funds appropriated to support the State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) in FY 2018 and FY 2019 to remain available for use through FY 2021.Waiver of Matching Funds Requirement under the Women’s Business Center ProgramEliminates the non-federal match requirement for Women’s Business Centers for a period of three months. Loan Forgiveness Establishes that the borrower under the Paycheck Protection Program shall be eligible for loan forgiveness equal to the amount spent by the borrower during an 8-week period after the origination date on (i) rent, (ii) payroll costs for workers making less than $100K, (iii) interest on a mortgage, and (iv) utility payments. The amount forgiven may not exceed the principal of the loan. Incentivizes companies to retain employees by reducing the amount forgiven proportionally by any reduction in employees retained compared to the prior year.To encourage employers to rehire any employees who have already been laid off due to the COVID-19 crisis, borrowers that re-hire workers previously laid off will not be penalized for having a reduced payroll at the beginning of the period.Minority Business Development Agency Empowers the Department of Commerce, through the Minority Business Development Agency, to provide grants to minority business centers and minority chambers of commerce to provide education, training and advising related to accessing federal resources.vii. United States Treasury Program Management Authority The Department of the Treasury, consulting with the Small Business Administration and the Chairman of the Farm Credit Administration shall establish criteria to allow other lenders to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program, so long as such participation does not threaten the safety and soundness of the lender, as determined in consultation with the relevant federal banking agencies.viii. Emergency Economic Injury Disaster Loans (“EIDLs”) For the period between January 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (the “covered period”) EIDL eligibility is greatly expanded to include any business with not more than 500 employees operating under a sole proprietorship or as an independent contractor, and any cooperative, ESOP and tribal small business concern with not more than 500 employees. The number of employees is determined together with affiliates.Furthermore, EIDLs may be approved solely on the bases of an applicant’s credit score or by use of alternative methods to gauge the applicant’s ability to repay. Additionally, applicants may request an advance of up to $10,000 within three days after the Administrator receives the application, subject to verification that the entity is eligible under this program. The advance may be used for any allowable purposes under §7(b)(2) of the Small Business Act and is not subject to repayment, even if the loan request is ultimately denied.Importantly, the CARES Act waives: (1) the requirement of personal guarantees for loans up to $200,000, (2) the requirement that the applicant must be in business for a year (but must be in operation on January 31, 2020), and (3) the credit elsewhere test.Establishes that an emergency involving Federal primary responsibility determined to exist by the President under Section 501(b) of the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act qualifies as a new trigger for EIDLs.Importantly, the CARES Act waives: (1) the requirement of personal guarantees for loans up to $200,000, (2) the requirement that the applicant must be in business for a year (but must be in operation on January 31, 2020), and (3) the credit elsewhere test.Subsidy for Certain Loan PaymentsFor loans under §7(a) of the Small Business Act, Title V of the Small Business Investment Act, and for loans made by an intermediary using §7(m) loans or grants, the Administrator shall pay the principal, interest, and fees owed for loans in regular servicing status for any such loans, whether on deferment or not, that were made before the enactment of the Act for the following 6-month period, and for any such loans that were made between the date of enactment of the Act and six months from such date. This does not apply to Payroll Protection loans or EIDL loans which have separate subsidy and repayment requirements.The payments shall be made not later than 30 days from when the first payment is due and shall be applied such that the borrower is relieved of any obligation to pay that amount. The Administrator shall coordinate with relevant banking agencies to request that lenders not be required to increase reserves because of these payments.The Administrator will waive limits on the maximum loan maturities for loans given deferral and extended maturity during the year following enactment. The Administrator will extend lender site visit requirement timelines as necessary because of COVID-19, to within 60 days of a non-default adverse event, and 90 days of a default. $17 billion is appropriated for the foregoing.BankruptcySection 1182(1) of Title 11 is amended to define “debtor” as persons engaged in commercial or business activities and their affiliates (excluding persons who primarily own single asset real estate) that have aggregate, noncontingent, liquidated secured and unsecured debts (at the date of petition filing or the order for relief) of $7,500,000 or less (excluding debts owed to affiliates or insiders), half or more of which arose from those activities. Exempt from this new definition are any members of a group of affiliated debtors that has aggregate, noncontingent, liquidated secured and unsecured debts over $7,500,000 (excluding debt owed to affiliates or insiders); corporations subject to 1934 Act reporting requirements; and affiliates of an issuer under the 1934 Act. National Emergency Act payments for COVID-19 by the President are exempted from “current monthly income” and “disposable income” when determining the power of courts to approve debtor plans rejected by trustees or claim holders. Debtors that have experienced material financial hardship due to COVID-19 can modify a plan confirmed prior to this Act’s enactment date if approved after notice and hearing, but only if that plan doesn’t provide payments more than seven years after the first payment was due under the original plan, and follows requirements of 1322(a)-(c) and 1325(a). This modification terminates one year after the enactment of this Act.Title II – Assistance for American Workers, Families, and Businesses Foley Title II Contacts: Julie Lutfi, Ashley May, and Dick RileySubtitle A: Unemployment Insurance ProvisionsEligibilityThe law expands the scope of individuals who are eligible for unemployment benefits, including those who are furloughed or out of work as a direct result of COVID-19, self-employed or gig workers, and those who have exhausted existing state and federal unemployment benefit provisions.The only individuals expressly excluded from coverage are those who have the ability to telework with pay and those who are receiving paid sick leave or other paid benefits (even if they otherwise satisfy the criteria for unemployment under the new law).Administration of BenefitThe benefits are administered by each state and upon the state’s written agreement with the Secretary of Labor to provide the specific benefits. States that enter into such an agreement with the Secretary of Labor will be reimbursed in whole or in part for the cost of the benefits plus administrative expensesTypes of Benefits ProvideThe law provides an increase of $600 per week in the amounts customarily available for unemployment under state law. This increase applies for unemployment payments made from the date of the law’s enactment through July 31, 2020 (approximately four months).States can agree to provide pandemic emergency unemployment compensation to individuals who have either exhausted all of the benefits available to them under existing state and federal law or who are not otherwise eligible for benefits under existing state and federal law. Individuals must be able and available to work and actively seeking work, unless they are unable to do so as a result of COVID-19 illness, quarantine, or movement restriction.States can agree to waive the waiting period for receipt of benefits so that individuals do not experience gaps in income.The federal government will temporarily fund short-time compensation under existing state plans. States that do not yet have short-time compensation plans in place may agree to implement a plan, provided that employers who enter into short-time compensation plans must be required to pay to the state half of the short-time compensation paid under the planTime Periods for Expanded BenefitsThe law provides unemployment benefit assistance to covered individuals who are not otherwise entitled to benefits under existing state or federal law for weeks of unemployment, partial unemployment, or inability to work caused by COVID-19 during the period January 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. This includes any waiting periods for benefits under applicable state law.The total benefit may not extend beyond 39 weeks (including any unemployment benefits or extended benefits received under existing state or federal law), unless, after the law is enacted, the duration of extended benefits is extended, in which case the total benefit may extend beyond 39 weeks by that same additional period of extended benefits.The $600 weekly benefit increase will be applicable to weekly payments made through the end of July 2020.Protections Against Fraud and OverpaymentAny fraudulent intent or misrepresentations to obtain payments to which an individual is not entitled will result in ineligibility for any other unemployment compensation benefits under the new law as well as criminal prosecution. Overpayments may be clawed back by the state agencies.Social Security TreatmentThe additional unemployment compensation provided is not considered “income” for purposes of Medicaid and CHIP.Subtitle B: Rebates and Other Individual ProvisionsTax CreditsBeginning in 2020, "eligible individual" taxpayers can benefit from a tax credit equal to the sum of: (i) $1,200 for single filers ($2,400 for those filing a joint return) plus (ii) an amount equal to th eproduct of (a) $500 multiplied by (b) the number of qualifying children. However, the aforementioned tax credits will be “phased-out” by 5% (but not below 0) when such eligible taxpayer’s adjusted gross income exceeds: (i) $150,000 for joint-filers, (ii) $112,500 for heads of household, and (iii) $75,000 for all other types of filers.This means, for example, the tax credit will phase out entirely at $198,000 for joint-filers with no children.“Coronavirus-Related Distribution”A “coronavirus-related distribution,” as defined under the CARES Act, is generally defined as any distribution from an eligible retirement plan made: (i) on or after January 1, 2020 and before December 31, 2020, (ii) to an individual (a) who is diagnosed with COVID-19, (b) whose spouse or dependent is diagnosed with COVID-19, or (c) who experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, laid off, had hours reduced, or other factors as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury during the COVID-19 pandemic.Tax Treatment of Coronavirus-Related DistributionsIndividuals who elect to receive a “coronavirus-related distribution” will not be subject to the traditional 10% tax penalty imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for early withdrawals from eligible retirement accounts,unless the aggregate amount of such distributions from all plans maintained by the employer (and any member of any “controlled group” which includes the employer) to such individual exceeds $100,000. Coronavirus-related distributions made from both traditional eligible employer sponsored retirement plans and individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”) may be excluded from gross income.Repayments of Coronavirus-Related DistributionsAny individual who receives a coronavirus-related distribution may generally, at any time during the three (3) year period beginning on the day after the date such coronavirus-related distribution was received, make one (1) or more contributions in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of such distribution to an eligible retirement plan of which such individual is a beneficiary . The aforementioned repayments of coronavirus-related distributions for eligible retirement plans, will, to the extent of the amount of the contribution, be treated as having received the coronavirus-related distribution in an eligible rollover distribution,” and as having transferred the amount to the eligible retirement plan in a direct trustee to trustee transfer within sixty (60) days of distribution.Effects on the Limits on Loans from Qualified Employer PlansThe limitation on loans from any qualified employer plan made to qualified individuals will be increased from $50,000 to $100,000, and should the due date of any such loan occur between the date of enactment of the CARES Act and December 31, 2020, it will be delayed for one (1) year.Effects on Minimum Distribution ThresholdThe CARES Act temporarily waives the minimum distribution requirements for all “eligible deferred compensation plans.” This includes: (i) certain contribution plans (e.g. an employer purchased annuity contract), (ii) deferred compensation plans that are maintained by an eligible employer, or (iii) IRAs. This applies for all distributions made on or after January 1, 2020.However, if this section applies to any pension plan or contract amendments, such pension plan or contract amendments will not fail to be treated as being operated in accordance with the terms of the plan during such period, solely because the plan operates in accordance with the CARES Act, so long as the amendment or contract in question has been in effect from its effective date until December 31, 2020.Any plan or contract amendments to which Section 2203 of the CARES Act (the section on temporary waiver of required minimum distribution rules) applies will not fail to meet the requirements of either the Internal Revenue Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act as a result of making such an amendment. However, this provision only applies to those amendments which are in effect during the period beginning on the effective date of the amendment until December 31, 2020.Tax Treatment of Charitable DonationThe CARES Act allows taxpayers to take an above-the-line tax deduction for charitable contributions of up to $300 for the tax year beginning in 2020.Additionally, except for certain exclusions specified below, the percentage and excess carryover restrictions on charitable and other “qualified contributions” (e.g. a contribution to a corporation, trust, a state, or an organization of war veterans, etc.) are disregarded.Exceptions to the CARES Act General Disregard of the Percentage and Excess Carryover Restrictions on Qualified ContributionsThe CARES Act treats individuals and corporations differently regarding the aforementioned exceptions, and such different treatments are described below.Qualified contributions for individuals will be allowed as deductions to the extent that the combined contributions do not exceed (i) the excess of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income over (ii) the amount of the charitable contributions made by the individual under certain other provisions of the CARES Act (e.g., donations to a church, educational organization, private foundation, etc.). If such contributions exceed the foregoing limitation, they will be added to the qualified contribution excess, which is eligible to be treated as charitable deductions for up to the next five (5) successive tax years. Any qualified contributions made by corporations will be allowed as deductions only if these contributions do not exceed 25% of the taxable income of the corporation over the amount of all other charitable contributions allowed under the CARES Act. To the extent a corporation exceeds this limit, it will carry over the excess which will be eligible to be applied as charitable contribution deductions for the subsequent five tax years. This is provided that the excess qualified contribution amounts in question meet certain other restrictions, specifically, they must not exceed the lesser of: (i) 10% of the corporation’s taxable income or the total charitable deductions taken by the corporation during the taxable year over the sum of the contributions made in such year plus the aggregate of the excess contributions which were made in taxable years before the contribution year and which are deductible under this subparagraph for such succeeding taxable year; or (ii) in the case of the first succeeding taxable year, the amount of such excess contribution, and in the case of the second, third, fourth, or fifth succeeding taxable year, the portion of such excess contribution not deductible under this subparagraph for any taxable year intervening between the contribution year and such succeeding taxable year.iii. Subtitle C: Business ProvisionsEmployee Retention Credit for Employer Subject to Closure Due to COVID-19Eligible employers will receive a credit against applicable employment taxes for each calendar quarter in an amount equal to 50% of the qualified wages with respect to each employee. The amount of qualified wages taken into account for each eligible employee, however, will not exceed $10,000 per calendar quarter and the credit will not exceed the applicable employment taxes owed for such calendar quarter. The aforementioned credit is not applicable if the employer is alto taking advantage of the small business interruption loan. An eligible employer is defined as any employer: (i) which was carrying on a trade or business during calendar year 2020, and (ii) with respect to any calendar quarter for which, (a) the operation of their trade or business was fully or partially suspended due to governmental order as a result of COVID-19, or (b) the calendar quarter is within the period beginning with (1) the calendar quarter after December 31, 2019 for which gross receipts for the calendar quarter are less than 50% of the gross receipts for the same calendar quarter of the prior year and the ending with (2) the calendar quarter following the first calendar quarter beginning after the calendar quarter described in (1) for which gross receipts of the employer are greater than 80% gross receipts for the same calendar quarter in the prior year.Delay of Payment of Employer Payroll TaxesThe CARES Act will allow for most employers to defer paying their share of applicable employment taxes from the time the CARES Act is signed into law through December 31, 2020. Half of this deferred amount would be due on December 31, 2021 and the other half by December 31, 2022.Modifications for Net Operating Losses (“NOL”)There will generally be a temporary repeal of taxable income limitation including (i) in the case of a taxable year beginning before January 1, 2021, the aggregate of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryovers to such year, plus the NOL carrybacks to such year, and (ii) in the case of a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2020, the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of NOLs arising in taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, carried to such taxable year, plus (b) the lesser of (1) the aggregate amount of NOLs beginning after December 31, 2017, carried to such taxable year, or (2) 80% of the excess of certain taxable income.In the case of any NOL arising in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021, whereby (i) such NOL will be a net operating loss carryback to each of the five (5) taxable years preceding the taxable year of such loss and (ii) certain rules applicable to farming losses and insurance companies shall not apply. There are additional rules that apply specifically to “real estate investment trusts” and life insurance companies.Modification of Limitation on Losses for Taxpayers Other Than CorporationsFor any taxpayer other than a corporation:For a taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, subsection (j) (relating to a limitation on excess farm losses of certain taxpayers) would not apply; and ii. For any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2020 and before January 1, 2026, any excess business loss of the taxpayer for the taxable year will not be allowed.In regard to treatment of capital gains and losses for purposes of calculating “excess business losses”: Deductions for losses from sales or exchanges of capital assets will not be taken into account.The amount of gains from sales or exchanges of capital assets taken into account will not exceed the lesser of (1) the capital gain net income determined by taking into account only gains and losses attributable to a trade or business, or (2) the capital gain net income.The amendments made in the aforementioned section shall apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.Modification of Credit for Prior Year Minimum Tax Liability of CorporationsThe corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) was repealed as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, but corporate AMT credits were made available as refundable credits over several years, ending in 2021. The CARE Act accelerates the ability of companies to recover those AMT credits, permitting companies to claim a refund now and obtain additional cash flow during the COVID-19 emergency. Modification of Limitation on Business InterestThe CARES Act temporarily increases the amount of interest expense businesses are allowed to deduct on their tax returns, by increasing the 30-percent limitation (as imposed under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) to 50 percent of taxable income (with adjustments) for 2019 and 2020. As businesses look to weather the storm of the current crisis, this provision will allow them to increase liquidity with a reduced cost of capital, so that they are able to continue operations and keep employees on payroll.Qualified Improvement PropertyThe CARES Act enables businesses, especially in the hospitality industry, to write off immediately costs associated with improving facilities instead of having to depreciate those improvements over the 39-year life of the building. The provision, which corrects an error in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, not only increases companies’ access to cash flow by allowing them to amend a prior year return, but also incentivizes them to continue to invest in improvements as the country recovers from the COVID-19 emergency. Temporary Exception from Excise Tax for Alcohol Used to Produce Hand SanitizerFor distilled spirits removed after December 31, 2019 and before January 1, 2021, such distilled spirits will be free of tax for use in or contained in hand sanitizer produced and distributed in a manner consistent with any guidance issued by the FDA related to the outbreak of COVID-19.Title III – Supporting America’s Health Care System in the Fight Against the Coronavirus Foley Title III Contacts: Rachel O’Neil, Erin Horton, Anil Shankar, and Paul JosephSubtitle A, Part I: Addressing Supply ShortagesProvides for the National Academies to examine and report on the security of the U.S. medical product supply chain in order to assess U.S. dependence on critical drugs and devices sourced outside of the U.S., and to develop recommendations to improve resiliency of the U.S. supply chain for critical drug and devices.Requires the Strategic National Stockpile to include certain types of medical supplies, including personal protective equipment (PPEs), and identifies respiratory protective devices as covered countermeasures for use during a public health emergency.Prioritizes the review of drug applications to mitigate emergency drug shortages.Creates additional reporting requirements for drug manufacturers to report a discontinuation and disruption of the sourcing of active pharmaceutical ingredients.Requires manufacturers of certain drugs and medical devices critical to public health during a public emergency to develop, maintain, and implement risk management plans related to shortages, creating an annual notification requirement of the same. Such manufacturers are also subject to shortage-related inspections by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).Subtitle A, Part II: Access to Health Care for COVID-19 Patients Permits group health plans and insurers to cover and reimburse providers of diagnostic testing relating to COVID-19 at pre-emergency-period negotiated rates, and sets reimbursement rates in instances without previously negotiated rates equal to the cash price for services listed on a publicly-available website or the plan or insurer can negotiate with a provider for a rate lower than such cash price.

Use of Telehealth to Conduct Face-to-Face Encounter Prior to Recertification of Eligibility for Hospice Care During Emergency PeriodSection 1395f(a)(7)(D)(i) is amended to allow a hospice physician or hospice nurse practitioner during an “emergency period” to conduct a face-to-face encounter via telehealth to determine recertification for continued eligibility for hospice care.Encouraging Use of Telecommunications Systems for Home Health Services Furnished During Emergency PeriodDuring an emergency period, the Secretary of HHS shall consider ways to encourage the use of telecommunications systems.Improving Care Planning for Medicare Home Health ServicesCertain Medicare sections are expanded from being limited to the services of a physician to include services of nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and physician assistants that provide home health services.Adjustment of SequestrationA temporary suspension of Medicare sequestration put into effect during the period of May 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.

The provision is also expanded to clarify that the section shall not be construed to prohibit receipt of any care or services specified in paragraph (1) in an acute care hospital, provided certain requirements are met.Clarification Regrading Uninsured Individuals The Families First Coronavirus Response Act, enacted last week, added subsection (ss) to section 1396a, which defined “uninsured individual” as those not described in section 1396a(a)(10)(A)(i) and not enrolled in certain health care programs. The CARES Act amends this definition to exclude subsection VIII if the individual is a resident of a state that does not furnish medical assistance as described. Clarification Regarding Coverage of COVID-19 Testing ProductsThe Families First Coronavirus Response Act, enacted last week, added COVID-19 testing to section 1396d, which provides medical assistance payments under certain conditions. The CARES Act amends this section by removing the requirement that the in-vitro diagnostic products administered are approved, cleared, or authorized under sections 510(k), 513, 514, or 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.Amendment Relating to Reporting Requirements with Respect to Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory TestsThe CARES Act extends the dates by one year for the reporting periods in section 1395m-1(a)(1)(B). The applicable prohibition that payment amounts determined under section 1395m-1 shall not result in a reduction in payments, as defined by the subsection, for a clinical diagnostic laboratory test is expanded to 2017 through 2024.

Subtitle F, Part I: Over-the-Counter DrugsAmends Chapter V of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) to insert a new section regulating certain nonprescription drugs that are marketed without an approved drug application under section 505 of the FD&C Act. This new section primarily achieves two goals: (1) reforms the regulatory process for over-the-counter (OTC) drug approvals permitting the FDA more flexibility to make changes administratively, rather than through the time-consuming full notice and comment rulemaking process; and (2) incentivizes pharmaceutical companies to research and manufacture innovative drug products by providing an 18-month market-exclusivity period to reward investments for new OTC drugs.Amends Section 502 of the FD&C Act, to clarify that an OTC drug which does not comply with the requirements of its OTC monograph, which is essentially an approved recipe for a drug product, is considered misbranded.

Subtitle F, Part II: User FeesDeclares that the fees paid pursuant to this section will be dedicated to FDA review of over-the-counter monograph drugs as set forth in the goals section and in letters from the Secretary of HHS to certain congressional committees.Establishes a new FDA user fee to allow the agency to hire additional staff members to ensure there is adequate agency oversight to approve changes to OTC drugs.Title IV – Economic Stabilization and Assistance to Severely Distressed Sectors of the United States Economy Foley Title IV Contact: Christopher SwiftTitle IV of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Securities Act provides the Secretary of the Treasury with the authority to make loans or loan guarantees to states, municipalities, and eligible businesses and loosens a variety of regulations created in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, and others.ii.Subtitle A – Coronavirus Stabilization Act of 2020Emergency Relief and Taxpayer ProtectionsThe Act authorizes the Treasury Secretary to make up to $500 billion worth of loans and loan guarantees to eligible businesses, states, and municipalities. The term “eligible business” includes passenger air carriers or any other business that has not already received adequate economic relief in the form of loans or loan guarantees under other provisions of the Act. The Act reserves $46 billion to support passenger air carriers, air cargo carriers, and businesses important to maintaining national security. The Act establishes a $454 billion credit facility for Federal Reserve programs designed to support lending to eligible businesses, states, and municipalities. This program contemplates various loans and loan guarantees for distressed businesses.Businesses that receive loans through these Federal Reserve programs are prohibited from paying dividends or repurchasing stock (or other outstanding equity interests) while the loan or loan guarantee is outstanding, as well as for the 12 months following repayment. These businesses are subject to the same employee compensation restrictions as listed for air carriers, air cargo carriers, and businesses deemed important to maintaining national security. Although the Treasury Secretary can waive these restrictions, he must identify and explain the rationale for such waivers in testimony before Congress.Businesses that receive loans or loan guarantees through these Federal Reserve programs can only make loans (or other advances) to business that are incorporated in the United States. Transfers to subsidiaries and affiliates incorporated outside the United States are prohibited.The Act directs the Treasury Secretary to establish a program to provide low-interest loans for eligible businesses (including nonprofit organizations) with between 500 and 10,000 employees. Although these loans will require no repayment for at least six months, businesses and non-profit organizations seeking this support must provide a good-faith certification that they meet the following criteria:The company intends to maintain at least 90 percent of their current workforce;The company will not pay dividends or repurchase stock (or other equity securities);The company will not outsource or offshore jobs during the loan period or two years thereafter;The company will not abrogate existing collective bargaining agreements with labor unions; and The company will remain neutral regarding current or future union organizing activity.Limitation on Certain Employee CompensationThe Act also imposes certain compensation caps for officers and employees at companies receiving loans or loan guarantees. Under these caps, officers or employees that received $425,000 or more in total compensation in 2019 will have their future compensation capped at the amount they received that year. This cap applies while the loan or loan guarantee is in effect, as well as to the 12 consecutive months after the loan or loan guarantee is no longer outstanding. The same restriction also applies to severance payments or other compensation received upon termination from businesses participating on the loan and loan guarantee programs.Additional caps apply for officers and employees whose total compensation exceeded $3,000,000 in 2019. Under the Act, these individuals may receive compensation up to $3,000,000 plus 50 percent of the excess over $3,000,000 of the total compensation received by the officer or employee in 2019. For example, an officer or employee whose total 2019 compensation was $3,000,010 would be restricted to total compensation of $3,000,005 in subsequent years. Like the lower cap discussed above, this restriction applies while the loan or loan guarantee is in effect, as well as to the 12 consecutive months after the loan or loan guarantee is no longer outstanding.Continuation of Certain Air ServicesThe Secretary of Transportation may require any air carrier receiving loans or loan guarantees under Section 4003 to maintain scheduled air transportation services as the Secretary deems necessary to maintain service to any destination the carrier served before March 1, 2020. The Secretary of Transportation is to consider the needs of “small and remote communities” and “health care and pharmaceutical supply chains” when enforcing this portion of the Act.Suspension of Certain Aviation Excise TaxesThe Act suspends the imposition of aviation excise taxes as otherwise required under the Internal Revenue Code through December 31, 2020.Debt Guarantee AuthorityIn order to backstop solvent depository institutions, it appears that the CARES ACT allows the FDIC to establish a program to insure these institutions without regard to a maximum amount. All such guarantees are to last at least until December 31, 2020.Temporary Government in the Sunshine Act ReliefIn the event that unusual and exigent circumstances continue to exist, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System may conduct meetings with less restrictive and formal meeting notification and record-keeping requirements until December 31, 2020. Temporary Hiring FlexibilityWithout regard to certain statutory hiring requirements, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Securities Exchange Commission are given flexibility to recruit and appoint candidates for temporary and term appointments as necessary to prevent, prepare for, or respond to COVID-19 during the “covered period” of the CARES Act.Temporary Lending Limit WaiverEnlarges exception to requirement on the maximum amount of loans and extensions of credit by a national banking association to include a nonbank financial company (as defined in Section 102 of the Financial Stability Act of 2010) and allows the Comptroller o

John shares our take on the second half of July, including how the Trump administration continues to take aim at Obamacare, and that Stark and other anti-kickback laws may be obsolete in a value-based world. On July 7, the Trump administration said it was temporarily withholding $10.4 billion in risk adjustment payments to insurers, citing a district court ruling from earlier this year in New Mexico. On Tuesday July 10th, 340B Health released an analysis of a bill introduced by Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, that would raise the minimum disproportionate share hospital (DSH) adjustment percentage that hospitals must meet to qualify for the 340B drug discount program. Kathleen Sebelius, Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary under President Barack Obama, and Tommy Thompson, HHS secretary under President George W. Bush, wrote in an op-ed for The Hill that “Stark and anti-kickback laws are a remnant of the fee-for-service world and harm the very patients they are supposed to protect by deterring more comprehensive patient-centered, coordinated care. While well intentioned, these laws have not been sufficiently updated to reflect the transformation in health care payment and delivery or account for the rapid emergence of new treatments and innovative technologies.” About Darwin Research Group Darwin Research Group Inc. provides advanced market intelligence and in-depth customer insights to health care executives, with a strategic focus on health care delivery systems and the global shift toward value-based care.

This week on The Freecast, we discuss the $36M bill the State of NH has due to a hospital lawsuit, no free speech for you in Scotland, and Governor Sununu's 10 year energy plan. Freecast S03E03: $36M Hospital Bill and 10 Years of Energy Featuring Hosts: Matt Carano, Tom Hudson, and Nick Boyle Engineered by: Matt Carano Produced by: Tom Hudson, Matt Carano, and Nick Boyle News State of NH $36 million in the hole due to hospital lawsuit “Under federal law, hospitals that treat significant numbers of Medicaid or uninsured patients may receive “disproportionate share hospital” (DSH) payments – state and federal funds that help them recoup the higher costs associated with those patients. Exactly how much each hospital receives comes down to how many services it can count as “uncompensated care.”” Under the current federal law, hospitals can double bill, i.e. if a patient is on medicaid and pays, but still requests money from the state as if they hadn't paid. http://www.concordmonitor.com/New-Hampshire-facing-$36-million-budget-shortfall-after-hospital-lawsuit-16846848 Count Dankula (Mark Meechan) loses free speech case, ordered to pay fine https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/count-dankula-nazi-pug-salutes-mark-meechan-fine-sentenced-a8317751.html Governor Sununu releases 10 year energy plan On average each NH resident spent $3,934 on energy in 2015 Goals listed in the plan 1. Prioritize cost-effective energy policies. 2. Ensure a secure, reliable, and resilient energy system. 3. Adopt all-resource energy strategies and minimize government barriers to innovation. 4. Maximize cost-effective energy savings. 5. Achieve environmental protection that is cost-effective and enables economic growth. 6. Government intervention in energy markets should be limited, justifiable, and technology neutral. 7. Encourage market-selection of cost-effective energy resources. 8. Generate in-state economic activity without reliance on permanent subsidization of energy. 9. Maximize the economic lifespan of existing resources while integrating new entrants on a levelized basis. 10. Protect against neighboring states' policies that socialize costs. 11. Ensure that appropriate energy infrastructure is able to be sited while incorporating input and guidance from stakeholders. Highlights of the plan: Pro nuclear energy, renewable energy should only be considered if it's cost effective and doesn't rely on subsidies and only on market selection, “It should not be controversial to seek an ultimate outcome where production technologies are not subsidized by ratepayers or taxpayers. Uneconomic resources would not exist absent subsidization, yet those same resources may be wise investments in the near future when cost curves are more favorable. The end goal with energy infrastructure should be unaided market competition where the technology competes on the merits, not one that depends on taxpayer support.” A quote in regards to passenger vehicles, “Government should avoid speculative investments with taxpayer dollars focused on a fraction of the consumer base, but may be able to leverage non-taxpayer funding sources to spur private investment.” “New Hampshire policymakers should pursue market-based mechanisms for achieving cost-effective energy, while avoiding preferential quotas and mandates.” Much of the energy is dependent on the rest of New England because it's all under the same grid. http://www.unionleader.com/column-A-new-energy-strategy-for-New-Hampshire_ https://www.nh.gov/osi/energy/programs/documents/2018-10-year-state-energy-strategy.pdf Amazon Park in Rochester evacuated due to a standoff My old neighbor owns that park, this is what he told me. Tenants were originally evacuated up to our rec-hall where my office is located. We had a growing group of tenants from 330 until around 6. Then the police officer came in and told everyone they would have to evacuate the park. Tenants said “can we go get our cars,etc” and the police officer literally said “no, those with cars up front leave now, those without cars start walking through the woods and then onto Whitehouse Road and just head towards Briar Ridge”... so here we are with 70 tenants... about 30 of them got out using cars up front, the others just started walking down the street. I left the park and drove all the way around up to the Dunkin Donuts that is up near Hilltop Chevy. There I met about 15 tenants that had been prevented from returning home from work or afternoon errands. At that point a police officer was discussing with the bus drivers about getting 2 busses to send around to pick up tenants. At this time I also received information that the Briar Ridge center that they had originally told people to start walking to was not open. So it's 40 degrees out and people are just standing outside in the rain. The bus company gave the police the go ahead that they would be able to have 2 busses go and that they had changed the location to the Rochester Community Center.So at that point I told my tenants located at the Dunkin Donuts parking lot to head to the Rochester Community Center and I left with my car to head over to Briar Ridge. When I got over there there was about 20 people standing outside and 5 cars. I told all those with cars to pile as many people into their cars as possible and head over to the Rochester Community Center. I loaded my car with 3 tenants (all I could fit). After this there were still 10 people without a ride. So I told them to walk over to the intersection of Whitehouse Road and wait at the Corner for the bus and I would be back. I proceeded to bring the 3 tenants to the Rochester Community Center. At that point I got a call from my father (who was still at Amazon) that police needed additional help evacuating tenants cause the busses had already left yet there were more tenants coming up from around the park. So myself and another tenant returned to Amazon Park (it's around 730pm now). Once again filled my vehicle and the other vehicle. My father and one of our employees also filled their vehicle and then we once again drove to the Rochester Community Center. At this point we have about 60-70 people at the Rochester Community Center. I walk in and it's an empty room with metal. Folding chairs with tenants just sitting. It's now 8pm. No Red Cross, no food/drinks for people, no blankets. Many of these people have been standing outside in 40 degree weather with rain for hours at this point. Many have had to walk a considerable distance. These people have no access to their medicine or food which they had to leave in their trailer. I was honestly shocked as to why emergency services had not been called in but understood that they were dealing with so much going on with the actual barricade situation. So my father went and bought like 35-40 large “Little Caesar's” pizzas to feed the tenants. Another tenant let someone borrow their inhaler etc. If my father hadn't bought food idk if the tenants would have even had dinner that night. A lot of them have diabetic issues etc so they really dropped the ball on that part. Around 830 I left and headed to Qual Drive where I talked with one of the officers about the ongoing developments inside the park and also talked to fosters. At that point officer Danie told me they had another 2 tenants up at Dunkin Donuts that needed to be transported and didn't know if I could do it. I told him of course and left for Dunkin Donuts where I picked them up. On my drive back to the Rochester Community Center one of my tenants that was sitting on Qual Drive in their vehicle called and told me they heard 12-13 large bangs (8:50 pm). When I got back to the Rochester Community Center pizza had just arrived so I helped pass out the food to the tenants. I returned to Qual Drive from 9:30-11 where I personally heard another 5 large bangs and then I heading back to the Community Center for the remaining hour. A little after midnight (still no blankets provided, no water etc to tenants) we received information that they had gotten the suspect and that we could return residents back to the rec-hall and then they would be released in groups back to their trailers. So they loaded up the 2 busses and I took a tenant and headed back. Got back to Amazon around 12:40pm and tenants were allowed to return to trailers around 1am http://www.unionleader.com/article/20180420/NEWS03/180429933/0/SEARCH Marsy's Law NH Constitutional amendment CACR 22 http://www.gencourtmobile.com/2018/CACR22 Advertisements on facebook It is marketed as “Marsy's Law for New Hampshire is dedicated to the cause of ensuring that crime victims' rights are codified in New Hampshire constitutional law.” NH already has a bill of rights for victims which is more inclusive than the proposed Marsy's Law RSA: 21-M:8-k http://www.gencourtmobile.com/RSA/Section/21-M_8-k As proposed, Marsy's law would assume guilt, violating due process and innocent until proven guilty. http://stopmarsyslawnh.org/faq/ Events Freecoast Liberty Outreach Meetup Dover - 1st Thursday Exeter - 2nd Thursday Hampton - 3rd Thursday Rochester - 4th Thursday Wild Card! - 5th Thursday Freecoast Festival (freecoast.org/festival) Dash sponsors FFest Sept 7th through the 9th in Portsmouth, NH Tickets on sale now! Dash Sponsors FCF18 https://www.dashforcenews.com/dash-targets-global-liberty-movement-conferences-with-key-partnerships/ Special Segment - Autocrat of the Week Rand Paul New Hampshire Democrats on Twitter NH History NH's rebellious western towns When & What: Frustrated by the persistent attempts between 1776 and 1781 of a growing number of western New Hampshire towns to either join the newly proposed state of Vermont or form a new, independent Connecticut Valley state with territory on both sides of the river, New Hampshire officials appealed in March 1781 to the Continental Congress for help. With the war not yet over, they begged the assembly for assistance in quelling the unrest, claiming that “it is impossible for [New Hampshire] to comply with the requisitions of Congress . . . while this dispute remains unsettled.” On October 11, Vermont's legislature gathered in Charlestown on the eastern side of the river, an insult to the New Hampshire government, which claimed that territory as its own. A week later Congress finally resolved to pressure Vermont into returning the 38 rebelling New Hampshire towns and into rescinding its claims to territory east of the Connecticut River as a prerequisite to Vermont's admission to the Union as the 14th state. When no further action had been taken by January 1782, George Washington, then commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, wrote encouraging Vermont to return the towns to New Hampshire, pointing out that such a boundary encroachment would set an undesirable precedent for the future. The New Hampshire legislature issued a proclamation on January 12 declaring the western towns to be in a state of rebellion, threatening military action, and requiring all persons who had been involved in any way with the controversy to sign a declaration within 40 days acknowledging that New Hampshire extended to the Connecticut River and promising to become good New Hampshire citizens. In February 1782 the Vermont legislature complied and renounced jurisdiction over the rebellious towns. Two years later, Hanover became the last such town to capitulate. WHO The leaders of New Hampshire's western rebellion were Elisha Payne of Lebanon and John Wheelock and Bezaleel Woodward of Hanover, the son and son-in-law of Dartmouth founder Eleazar Wheelock. They organized the reaction against the new New Hampshire government by gathering together members of the committees of safety of the various Grafton County towns, forming a group known as the United Committees, but more informally as the “college party,” in recognition of the prominent role of Dartmouth in the protest. WHERE The 38 “rebellious” towns were located in western New Hampshire in what were then Grafton and Cheshire counties (the latter including what is now Sullivan County). The Connecticut River runs between these counties and the easternmost regions of what was to become Vermont. The towns in these counties, like those on the western side of the river, were settled mostly by people from Connecticut and Massachusetts rather than from the eastern parts of New Hampshire. All of the towns were beyond the bounds of the original New Hampshire grant to John Mason. The Connecticut River Valley was, and remains to some degree, a distinct cultural region, with close social, economic, religious, and political connections among the people along the length of the river as well as on both sides. By contrast, the Upper Connecticut Valley's ties with either New Hampshire or New York, the governments that traditionally claimed the territory, were weak. WHY The western part of New Hampshire had been underrepresented in the provincial government, and the first (1776) state constitution did not improve the situation. Unlike in Connecticut where many of the residents of the western towns originated, the new constitution did not allow each town a delegate, basing representation instead solely on population. In fact, the 68 towns in the two western counties shared just 21 representatives. Residents there felt that the new government did not recognize the sovereignty of the town corporation and that it continued to favor seacoast interests. They felt, moreover, that the seat of government should be more centrally located. Almost simultaneously with a growing desire in these towns to free themselves from the New Hampshire government, the towns west of the Connecticut River declared their independence from New York in January 1777, and the new constitution of Vermont guaranteed each town at least one representative. The western New Hampshire leaders, who were generally well-educated, often with Dartmouth connections, considered the Declaration of Independence to have terminated all political associations that originated with the Crown. The towns, which were entities with perpetual charters and thus not dependent on the pleasure of the King, were returned thereby to a “state of nature,” making them free either to form new connections or to remain independent. Due to early settlement patterns, people throughout the Connecticut Valley shared cultural connections despite being geographically divided by the river and despite the King's determination in 1764 that the Connecticut River was the boundary between New Hampshire and New York. The underlying goal of the rebelling towns was to avoid political separation from the people on the opposite side of the river with whom they shared a common heritage, and their various attempts at merging show that they didn't care in the end whether they became a part of New Hampshire or Vermont as long as the two sides of the river could remain together. IMPACT The rebellion in western New Hampshire has been called perhaps the most serious of the smaller revolutions that took place within the American Revolution. The settlement of the dispute permanently determined New Hampshire's western boundary with Vermont, and in 1791 Vermont became the nation's 14th state. Yet Vermont's relinquishing of the rebelling towns did not immediately end the decades of tension between the western frontier towns of New Hampshire and the state's older eastern towns. Although in an attempt at reconciliation, New Hampshire officials gave prominent residents of the Connecticut Valley government positions, several individuals from the rebellious towns interrupted New Hampshire court proceedings at Keene in September 1782 because of the exclusion of Vermont courts. After the leaders of this protest were arrested, rumors circulated that 200 men were arming themselves to oppose the resulting trials. New Hampshire authorities later sought to ease tensions by granting amnesty to the rebellious regions in 1784, under the state's new constitution. The conflict bred a lasting mistrust, however, between the leaders of Dartmouth College and the rest of the state, perhaps influencing the state's decision decades later to attempt to bring the college under state control. https://www.nhhistory.org/Timeline?id=1782.1 Suggestions/Feedback Do you have a topic that you would like for us to discuss?
