Health Insurace Policies

Cheap in Premium and best as per the needs:-
1. Apollo Easy Health Individual.
   You can add everyone in it. If someone is diabetic, don't include him in apollo insurance for sure.

   One can go for 2lac individually in Easy Health Individual.
   e.g A parent with 61 yrs and two youngsters between 18 and 34 will have a premium of around       Rs.13500 for a year. Also there is no capping on the Room Rent or Doctor visit.

You will have to have the health checkup if you are above 45 yrs of age. In this policy, you will bear the cost of health check up and if you are found fit, company will reimburse you 50% of checkup amount. If somehow you are found unfit after taking the policy, company will reimburse you the insurance amount, but the checkup cost will not be reimbursed.

2. Religare Insurance :
For senior parents above and around 60-65, companies normally dont provide health insurance if the person is diabetic. One company that provides the HealthInsurance incase of diabetic too is Religare.

One good thing about Religare plan is that it will insure you for double the amount actually.

E.g if you take an insurance of 2 lacs, and somehow you exhausted the limit of 2 lacs. It will autorenew for 2 lacs more without any more premium and you can use this amount again for other diseases. The limitation in auto renewed amount is that you cannnot use the auto renewed amount on the same disease on which you finished up the limit of 2 lacs.

There is however a capping for Room rent (1% of sum insured), Ambulance charges (Rs 1500), ICU charges (2% of SI).

Also they will provide Annual Health Checkup free of cost. If you are not found fit for health insurance after taking the policy, company will deduct around Rs850 from the amount spent for tests and will reimburse the remaining insurance amount.

3. MaxBupa:-
     Prior to Religare, only MaxBupa was the company that used to provide insurance to senior citizens with diabetic problem. But the premium for MaxBupa is quite high compared to Religare and also there is no autorenew. So Religare is a better choice than MaxBupa.

MaxBupa is good if one is expecting a baby after 2 years of insurance as that will cover around 15000 and 25000 for the maternity costs incase of normal and cesserian case respectively. It will also cover the vaccination cost for the new born for one year.

One more plan launched by Apollo for senior citizens is Apollo SeniorCitizen plan, but yet to get the details for that.

Javascript Minifier

http://www.refresh-sf.com/yui/

This online tool uses YUI minifier which is the best i could find till today in terms of compression size. To my wonder, after compressson i had to do nothing no tweaking, no error lookups but just use the compressed code and it was ready to run in production.

It basically adds one space after each line that it compresses so it is less error prone as compared to other tools that try to compress completely and then after compression create a piece of messed up code and you need to manually use your ideas to get the code working again.


Steps:
1. Open the online YUI compression utility at http://refresh-sf.com/yui/
2. Copy and paste the javascript code from the javascript file to the text box.
3. Select File Type as ‘JS’ in the drop down box.
4. There are other options on the page but the default options are fine.
5. Press ‘Compress’ button.
6. It will emit a compressed version of the javascript code submitted above.
7. Copy and paste the new minified version of the js code in a file and use this file now.
8. Verify all the functionality in the project and make sure nothing is broken.
9. If something is broken, go to the original javascript file and make sure that all the semicolons are placed after each statement and again compress and verify.


Happy Compressing!!!

Tagging Builds in SVN

We need to tag the builds in SVN inorder to release a build. This is a general concept that we follow in a release

Steps:
1. Check in all the code to the server and verify that nothing on the local is there that is not checked in. Otherwise, the tagged build will be different than the build on the server.
2. Right Click on folder containing the solution.
3. Select Tortoise SVN -> Branch/tag
4. Change the 'To Path' to a location on the server where you want to save the tagged build. You can create a folder named say 'Tags' which will contain the tagged builds.
5. Select 'Working Copy' if you want to tag the local copy OR select Head revision of you want to tag the server copy.

Happy tagging
