I've been writing recently about the dimensions of Big Data in the IoT: urgency, importance, frequency, consequences, remedy, cost. You can find my stories on IoT Journal or at my personal website.
The big item missing from this list is, of course, size. How big are individual messages or files? A couple of kilobytes? Many megabytes? And are there still a lot of people who think of Big Data as massive, petabyte-size repositories of epidemiological, meteorological, or particle acceleration data?
I didn't originally include it, because I saw it as twinned with frequency. In the IoT, most message & file sizes are going to be small. Big Data in the IoT has more to do with sensors and less to do with massive scientific apps.
Frequency might mean a real-time sampling rate of 10 times per second, 100 times per second, or more. Or it may be tethered to a passive device that reports in a timeframe we can call "every once in awhile." So the frequency dimension might vary by several million times from one application to another. Even if expressed logarithmically, that's a lot of variance.
Nevertheless, I think I'll combine the two, and change one of the six categories to size/frequency.
Pay to Play
I go through all this because, in the end, someone has to pay for the dataflow and all tha supports it. Most analyses seem to focus on the amount of data being consumed and stores, ie the size/frequency dimension.
But urgency and importance are mission-critical in setting up proper IoT monitoring, analysis, and the speed of that analysis. Furthermore, the consequences of something gone bad can vary from "there's a lightbulb out on the bridge" to "a section of the bridge just collapsed."
The dimensions of consequence and remedy are therefore potentially much more important to cost than the dataflow.
Designing and deploying an IoT project, whether something fun like installing a smart public bench or something grave like monitoring traffic flow, is thus far more than an IT project.
As we get involved in analyzing the cloud computing infrastructures that will no doubt underpin and serve most of the IoT, it's time to focus not only on cost-per-whateverbyte -- the size/frequency dimension -- but also the other dimensions, which tell us what this IoT thing is supposed to do and what happens when things go wrong.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

text: Avert Assignment Failure: Support Spouses in Overseas Relocations By Dawn S. Onley 3/13/2014 Permissions The corporate workplace is changing. International assignments are now viewed as part of the job description for a broader swath of employees working for global corporations. International relocations create unique opportunities for the expatriate employee but can also create challenges for that employee's spouse. These "trailing spouses" can be riddled with anxiety over everything from learning a new language to adjusting to a new culture. And if children are involved, things can get even more stressful. Most experts believe that cultural training is essential to help the transition. "Cultural training [is needed] before the assignment so the spouse knows exactly what to expect in [the new] country," explained Val Gascoyne, managing director of U.K.-based Time Relocation. "An unhappy spouse and children are major factors in failed assignments, so this is a wise investment against the cost of early repatriation." Human resources and global-mobility departments can help smooth the transition for everyone involved, according to experts who work in the field. Too often, HR departments take a narrow focus when setting up support programs for the relocated employee, failing to provide adequate support services to his or her family. The spouse may begin to feel isolated, which could lead to conflict within the marriage and family and, sometimes, failure in the overseas assignment. "One of the most common complaints we hear from partners is that the companies who are responsible for relocating them expect a great deal of them in the relocation process yet often barely acknowledge their existence," said Evelyn Simpson, who with Louise Wiles started the consultancy Thriving Abroad, based in the U.K. "Companies are placing higher priority on employee engagement in the talent management process, but in an international relocation, extending engagement to the partner can make a difference, too." Statistically, families' inability to adapt to the new environment is the largest cause of assignment failure, Simpson said, and most HR departments consider employees' families a risk. The family's acclimation to the new location is "very personal and includes every aspect of … life," explained Eileen Mullaney, who leads PricewaterhouseCoopers' Global Mobility consulting practice. "It is not just moving a job or personal items but moving a life and rebuilding that life in a new location," she added. "While this is exciting for many, it can also be extremely stressful for others." Anxiety can be averted if families get support from the beginning of the assignment. Thriving Abroad helps companies create support programs for expat families and works with accompanying partners to guide them through the relocation process, with a focus on empowering employees' loved ones to find their own purpose and fulfillment while abroad. From Two Incomes to One Thriving Abroad's research reveals that almost 80 percent of accompanying partners wish to do some type of work while out of their home country (most of them worked before the international assignment), but legal and even practical challenges often preclude that from happening. "These partners often struggle with issues relating to identity and the absence of meaning and achievement, considered to be the key elements of flourishing," Simpson said. "These factors can be a problem even when partners choose not to work. In addition, they also have to adjust to some of the side effects of not working, particularly to financial dependence." As challenging as it can be to go from dual incomes to a single income, advance preparation and training can improve how an employee and his or her spouse navigate the new cultural landscape—putting the trailing spouse in as advantageous a situation as possible. RiseSmart CEO Sanjay Sathe said the single-income factor greatly affects the success of some overseas assignments. "According to the U.S. Census Bureau, about two-thirds of families with school-age children rely on dual incomes," he noted. "While a new career opportunity for one spouse may be exciting news, it can also be a time of stress for the other spouse. Even though the new position may come with a pay raise, the trailing spouse can be left unemployed in a foreign city, with no connections or job prospects." Companies should turn to outplacement services that can help spouses find work, Sathe said. "While many employers are concentrating on relocation benefits such as moving expenses and temporary living costs, neither provides a means for sustainable living and community connection. Once the initial aid runs out, the family is left with just the one income. Simply providing monetary compensation will not always solve the problem." Helping Spouses Acclimate According to the 2012 Allied Workforce Mobility Survey, just 9 percent of responding companies offered spousal relocation. "Investing in spousal outplacement not only helps employees manage their careers but lends aid to the spouse's career, as well," Sathe observed. "Providing this type of assistance can give employers a unique advantage and help them attract and retain key talent." Cynthia Nerangis, president of LemonLime Consulting, a Chicago-based boutique cultural-training firm, said her company meets with spouses of transferred employees and asks how they would like to spend their time during the overseas assignment. LemonLime then offers customized training that covers everything from tips to successfully make it through the relocation process to learning about cultural differences to how culture affects business in the workplace. The firm also creates a plan of action for expatriates and families to help them achieve an overall rewarding international experience and adapt successfully to their new culture. Nerangis thinks businesses with international assignments should make such training mandatory and provide it through their human resource and global-mobility departments. "The initial experience for the trailing spouse can be both scary and intimidating," she said, "but the outcome can be quite stimulating and exhilarating, depending on the individual's willingness to adapt, learn and grow. The support they are offered can make a vast difference in the outcome of the trailing spouse's international experience." According to Mullaney, adapting to a new environment is the biggest issue facing trailing spouses, but she is increasingly seeing companies make the necessary investments to ease the transition for relocated staffers and their families. "Many companies are including spouse and family satisfaction into their program success measures, with family focus as one of the critical design requirements for their overall program," Mullaney said. "We are also seeing more focus on internal programs to help support the transition. This can range from informal networking groups, spouse mentor programs, host-family support programs, as well as social activities and even internal social media sites to help connect the new families to other assignees and local families in the local community."

We just returned from a 10 day family surf camp at Peaks and Swells. I have to say it was a really fantastic experience! From the excellent coaching to the delicious food, to the way the staff really bent over backward to make sure everyone had what they needed, Peaks and Swells is a first-rate operation. As a family, we are fortunate to have been living in a North Pacific surfing community for the past 3 years. In this time, we have all learned to surf, with our teen son having developed the most skill. I mention this to underline the fact that Peaks and Swells is not limited to working with beginners; the coaching staff are able to work with surfers from beginner to experienced as they are all excellent surfers with coaching certification. We all had the benefit of video analysis and instruction tailored to our individual level. We have each come home with new skills to practice and an understanding of what areas we are doing well in, and what areas need work, the best being how to make improvements so our skills can develop. If you are considering a surf camp destination, do not hesitate to choose Peaks and Swells - you won't regret it!!

Richard Spires resigned as DHS CIO on May 7. (File photo)
Richard Spires' May 7 resignation as Department of Homeland Security CIO put an end to his long and unexplained absence, but the questions and inquiries continue -- first from Capitol Hill, and now from DHS's Office of Inspector General.
FCW has learned through multiple sources that the OIG conducted an investigation into Spires' situation – which included an interview with Spires after his leave began on March 15. Two sources confirmed that the OIG submitted its findings to DHS management on May 8, one day after Spires resigned.
The contents of the investigation have not been made public, and when reached by FCW for comment, a DHS OIG official said the office does not discuss its investigative work.
DHS officials have maintained throughout that Spires went on elected leave for reasons unspecified – the agency does not comment on personnel matters – and confirmed that Deputy CIO Margie Graves continues to serve as the acting CIO. DHS officials also stated that Spires' leave was not related to testimony he missed before the House Homeland Security Committee's Oversight and Management Efficiency Subcommittee on March 19.
Yet several sources, both inside DHS and out, told FCW that Spires' leave -- while officially elected rather than administrative -- was not of his choosing, and may have been precipitated by fundamental disagreements regarding CIO authority over department-wide budgeting and purchasing of commodity IT. One former senior official at DHS who asked not to be named told FCW that "there is definitely more to it" and defended Spires' service at the agency.
The OIG investigation is a second formal inquiry into the matter. House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss) penned a letter on April 19 to DHS, asking for answers about Spires' absence.
The inquiry asked the agency to provide an explanation for Spires "being placed on either voluntary or non-voluntary leave on March 15," three days before the subcommittee was notified that Spires' March 19 scheduled testimony would instead come from Graves.
The inquiry, which also included a series of questions regarding Graves' background and job history, instructed DHS to respond by May 6. Thus far, DHS has not responded to that inquiry.

Good Price and a Good StayPosted Apr 27, 2015
Pros: It was very clean the staff was nice and concentrate. the only thing would for them to know more about there polices .
Cons: the only thing that could be improved would be that when we came in there was still the last peoples stuff in the fridge.
Location: it was about a 15 minute drive from the Minnesota zoo, restaurants were right across the street and Mall of America was about a 10 minute drive
It was really good the only down fall was that we called ahead to check on minimum age check(we are under 21) and they told us $100 deposit is required and we could do it on a credit card. When we checked in we were then told it had to be in cash it wasn't a big deal but defiantly something i would have liked to know in advance. if you are over 21 it would be an excellent experience. Over all it was a good place to stay for the night and was really clean. the room wasn't overly large but just enough for 2 people.

One of the most pleasant hotel stays we've experienced in a long time. The location was excellant, lots to do within walking distance of the hotel. During our stay we had some family issues come up and the desk clerks were extremely helpful and accomodating. We were treated like we were at a much more expensive place. A great experience!

SatisfiedPosted Feb 24, 2015 on Hotels
Overall I was very satisfied with our stay. Hotel housekeeping did a great job and I felt like the hotel smelled "clean" when we walked in. Good location. The only complaint that I did have is that there was not enough bedding in the room or on the beds. Middle of February in Minnesota is COLD! The furnace in our room was not able to keep up with the below zero temps outside and we could feel a lot of cold air coming in below the window.

Ideal for your kitchen as well as a great gift, this 2-piece knife set includes 5-1/2-inch Santoku and 3-inch paring knives--both with white blades. The 5-1/2-inch Santoku performs a wide variety of cutting tasks, from fine chopping to dicing and paper-thin slicing. The Santoku, a Japanese-style chef's knife, features a broad blade and low tip for less rocking action than a classic European chef's knife. The 3-inch parer is ideal for peeling, cutting, shaping fruits and vegetables. And they come packaged in an elegant black presentation box.
Part of the Revolution series, Kyocera's most popular line, these knives feature ultra-sharp ceramic blades as well as a deeper profile for greater knuckle clearance. And unlike steel blades, ceramic blades will never rust or change from its natural state. Comfortable, ergonomic resin handles provide precise control, while their distinctive shape makes it both easy to find and easy to use.
Kyocera has pioneered advanced ceramic kitchen knives, which are impervious to acids, juices, oils and salts, leave no metallic taste or odor, and help maintain the freshness of fruit and vegetables. The razor-sharp blade retains its original sharpness 10 times longer than steel knives. And because the ceramic blade is so light, no artificial weight is added to the handle. This creates an extremely balanced, lightweight tool that reduces fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.
Kyocera knives are made in Japan, and they should only be washed by hand. Use on a wood or plastic cutting board. All Kyocera ceramic products are warranted to be free from defects in material or workmanship for five years.
Because diamond wheels are required to sharpen ceramic knives, you should only use the Kyocera Electric Ceramic Knife Sharpener for re-sharpening at home. Additionally, Kyocera offers a complimentary re-sharpening service (shipping fee required; see more below).
According to The Cutlery and Allied Trades Research Association (CATRA), an independent testing organization: "Recent tests show that the life of a Kyocera ceramic blade without resharpening is approximately 15 times that of a typical steel blade." Advanced Ceramic, or Zirconium Oxide, is extremely dense, achieving a much tighter weave than any metal material, resulting in the finest and sharpest edge possible.
Manufactured in Japan, a Kyocera knife goes through a 12-step quality-controlled process. Much like a fine cigar, one knife will pass through the hands of over a dozen people from sifting through a rock material to the sintering and pressurizing process that hardens the Zirconium Oxide to the molding, shaping and lasering of the knife. The secret is in the ceramic material, extreme high temperatures and literally tons of pressure; a proprietary process resulting in a superior product. Kyocera has spent over 5 decades perfecting the art of the most durable ceramic available today. It's why other manufacturers want Kyocera either making their ceramic products or they attempt to recreate our products.
The only service of its kind available, Kyocera provides FREE knife sharpening. Customers send their knives (unlimited) to our Southern California address, paying only for shipping & handling, to get their knives professionally sharpened back to a factory edge. Each knife goes through a proprietary 5-step sharpening process on a diamond wheel and diamond belt since diamond is the only material harder than zirconium oxide. Chefs and customers get their knives back in 7-10 days as sharp or sharper than out of the box. (For more information, download and print out this form.) People love this service. Kyocera also has an Electric Ceramic Knife Sharpener available for at-home refreshing of Kyocera ceramic knives.
Kyocera Corporation, the parent and global headquarters of the Kyocera Group, was founded in 1959 as a producer of advanced ceramics. Kyocera has become a leading supplier of advanced ceramic to several industries including: housewares, medical, aerospace, solar power generating systems, telecommunications equipment, electronic components, printers, copiers, semiconductor packages, cutting tools and industrial ceramics. During the year ended March 31, 2010, the company's net sales totaled 1.07 trillion yen (approximately USD11.5 billion). The company is ranked #554 on Forbes magazine's 2010 "Global 2000" listing of the world's largest publicly traded companies.

A prominent figure in Dubai's finance industry, he earlier served as the chief financial officer at the Dubai Government Office. He has also served as head of finance and administration at the executive office of Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

I'm trying to connect to my wireless network on Backtrack 4. I have a Dell Studio 1558.
ifconfig and ifup show the wlan0 interface is up.
I ran

in a terminal, but when I open the network manager (menu > internet > wcid network manager), it says that no wireless networks are found.
Is this a driver issue? Does anyone know how to get wireless working?

Nova Zagora, Bulgaria
|Private / Estate agent:
For sale here is the former village Kindergarten. A spacious single level property comprising of 295 sq.m. of living area. Consisting of twelve rooms: 72 sq.m., 36 sq.m., two rooms 16 sq.m each, two rooms 12 sq.m each, a bathroom of 12 sq.m., two rooms of 8 sq.m. each, two rooms 24 sq.m. each and one room of 28 sq.m.

Structurally sound and of solid construction as a former municipal building, but now a shell/blank canvass for your ideas. Sits on a plot of 3030 sq.m (over a third of a acre). Also there are outbuildings of 14 sq.m and 59 sq.m. Water and electric available (currently off). Foul is to a septic tank. The property is surrounded by a brick wall fence.
Good investment potential due to proximity to the Zagoras and the Trakia motorway. Nova Zagora is signposted from the Trakia motorway as you can see from the picture below.

Here is a Google Earth view of both buildings. 1: Fomer Town Hall (see my other listing) ; 2:Former Kindergarten
Good investment potential due to
proximity to the Zagoras (Nova and Stara).
The two properties are ideal for a work/live arrangement. The town hall is ideal for a pub/cafe/restaurant business given it's in the village square. The kindergarten would make a spacious, bright and airy home.
Both properties need complete refurbishment as you can see. They are essentially shells at this stage. The good news is that building costs in Bulgaria are much lower than the UK and there are many competent builders out there who can carry out all desired work at very reasonable prices. I have contacts in Bulgaria who can assist with this. You could bring both properties up to UK living standards, have your own spacious dream home, along with a separate freehold business for less than the price of a terraced house in the UK.
Nova Zagora is one of
The warm and mild climate means the region is also home to the renowned Bulgarian vineyards, producing a wide range of delicious regional wines. As well as producing well-known wines including Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, you can sample the legendary local wine, Mavrud, once dedicated to Bulgarian royalty. The town is also surrounded by picturesque sunflower fields, where you can catch the bright golden flowers across the landscape, through the warm summer months.
Nova Zagora is perfect for history fans, with archaeological sites
around the town dating back to the Stone Age. The
Across the city you can find a variety of monuments and cultural attractions, including historic local churches, cinemas and the city theatre, where you can catch performances by Bulgarian musical and dramatic stars. An outdoor fountain area outside the theatre is a great place to relax and cool down in the summer, whilst enjoying cool refreshments from the surrounding cafes and bars.
For fitness buffs, there are tennis, football and athletics facilities, ideal if you want to stay fit whilst on holiday. The municipality market regularly in the city centre is a bright and colourful buzz of activity, and gives you the chance to check out local produce, as well as get a taste of true Bulgarian culture and friendly atmosphere.
Nova Zagora hosted the mountain running championships in 2012
For sale by owner. No agency commission to pay. Title deeds to hand and in order. Selling due to a change in circumstances.
Purchase costs to be paid by buyer, but will only consist of the necessary (Notary fees, local taxes etc), all of which shouldn't exceed a few hundred Euros.

Just for fun, I added 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese to the pan, and 2 Tblsp of parmesan. I'm sure the recipe would be great without this, but it added a little extra flavor. GREAT RECIPE

Being happy with your own company is a freedom many do not have. I have always found that the more secure I am with my own company, the more secure I can be around others.
Trying too hard to be something you are not is the downfall of many people. Try instead to look in the mirror and work on being happy with what is staring back at you.
For the past few months I've been working on myself (mentally, spiritually and now physically). I'm noticing that with this process, a lot of things are falling into place.
I no longer have the need to play a part or wear a mask. I can just exist and let time pass. I can just be free, like we all should. I have more time now for my art and my love of the woods.

What can't this mini-mogul do? This Justin Bieber beauty craze comes in a small and colorful bottle. What could it be? No, it is not a love potion to make The Biebs fall head over heels for you! Tap into your inner Belieber with this fresh line of nail polishes in an array of colors! The 17 year old designed a line of polish for Nicole by OPI called One Less Lonely Girl Collection this past October. Although it has been out for a while, I can't wait to get ahold of a few bottles of my own! With his signature purple and plenty of primary colors in the mix, this line has clever names such as One Less Lonely Glitter, One Time Lime and Give Me the First Dance.
Personally, I love the glitter shade on the top left. It has chunks of multi-colored glitter and would be perfect layered on top of a light blue polish. I love statement polish and these shades are not for the faint of heart. They would make the perfect gift for the Bieber-loving teen (or adult!) in your life.
I think that Justin wants his nails painted, in the shade of Step 2 the Beat of My ♥. What do you think?
Happy Friday! After a long week and very chilly temperatures I was really excited to see some inspirational images by the lovely Vicki of Magpie Girl. She has a fashion blog with absolute cute overload! Every outfit is girly and on trend. What really drew me in was the super saturated images vibrant with pinks, greens, oranges and rich neutrals.
When days are grey and rainy the best thing you can do is put on a favorite song and collect some visual inspiration to keep your mind open and creative. At least, thats what I think! So enjoy these beautiful pictures. If you are feeling adventurous and a little experimental play the video below for a full transport to another state of mind! Glasser is one of my favorite new singers and her angelic voice combined with electronic and abstract elements really put the mind at ease.
Brandon Flowers, be my boyfriend!
I cannot get enough of Brandon Flowers' latest album, Flamingo.
We all know this stud as the vocalist of The Killers, everybody's favorite Las Vegas dance pop machine. I heard BFlo's first solo single, "Crossfire," after it got leaked online on June 11 of this year, and let me tell you sweet peas: I was hooked faster than a celebrity on Kombucha.
Other leaked jams have revealed, Flamingo, as an album that's as danceable as The Killers with a prettier, more vulnerable tone that Mr. Flowers has never shown us before.
Bonus: the music video for "Crossfire" features a kick-ass Charlize Theron saving Flowers from, like, 50 ninjas while he gives her the cutest little smiles of gratitude ever captured on film.
Girl power and a sensitively sweet man?!
I am SO buying this record when it drops September 14!

The BGS will be hosting an Open Day on Saturday 27 June at its headquarters in Keyworth; details and booking now available.
The BGS has celebrated British Science Week since it began in 1994.
In 2015, we held two events at our Keyworth headquarters:
The Fossil and Rock Show for primary school children between the 17–19 March
Family Fun Day for everyone interested in fossils, dinosaurs, volcanoes, earthquakes and other kinds of 'rocky science' on Saturday 21 March.
The BGS celebrated British Science Week (BSW, formerly National Science and Engineering Week) on Saturday 21 March 2015 in our conference venue at Keyworth.
There were displays, demonstrations and talks, with lots to see, plenty of hands-on activities and tours for children and adults.
A number of science organisations normally help us out, along with Rockwatch, the national club for young geologists.
For more information about British Science Week, including other events around the UK, visit the British Science Week website.
The BGS annual Fossil and Rock Show for schools was held in our conference venue at Keyworth between 17–19 March 2015.
The Fossil and Rock Show is aimed at primary schools teaching Key Stage 2 and is particularly suitable for years 5 and 6.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com for further information about our 2016 event or call Nichola Gaffney on 0115 936 3445.
Check out our 2014 Facebook gallery or view the gallery below, which shows some highlights from the 2012 schools event.
Murchison House, the BGS office in Edinburgh, held its annual Open Day on Saturday 27 September 2014 as part of Edinburgh's Doors Open Days.
The Open Day was packed with earth science demonstrations, talks, experiments and displays of our work at home and abroad, with lots of hands-on activities for even the youngest hands.
This year our interactive exhibits included an augmented reality sandbox, making your own earthquake, tsunami safety demonstrations and a 2700-gallon pool where you can pilot an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
What are our open days like? Check out our our 2014 Storify page or 2009 Open Day page
BGS Edinburgh is moving offices in 2016 to Heriot-Watt's Edinburgh Campus. As a result it is unlikely, but not impossible, that we will host an open day at the old office in Murchison House in 2015. More about the New £17m research centre at Heriot Watt.
Contact Ted Harris for further information.
From time to time BGS has held open days to support the National Archives 'Archive Awareness' and 'Explore Your Archives' campaigns.
We last held an open archive day for the public at Keyworth on Saturday 1 December 2012. This event was in support of the national Archive Awareness Campaign 2012. The national theme for AAC was 'Sports, Games and the Olympics' in 2012, and we explored the links between fun, leisure, sporting achievement and the earth sciences.
Read more about the 2012 event.
Our next Archives Awareness Event is likely to be in Winter 2016. Keep your eyes on our main events page for further details.

Aria N. Ahmer. Yep. That's my pen name. (P.S This has been happening a lot, if you have ANY problems with someone adding your book to Goodreads, send me a message. I AM A GOODREADS LIBRARIAN AND CAN HELP! :) We can edit the site. Sorry for any inconveniences.) I'm a high school student at K12 Hoosier Academy and I love to write, illustrate, act, and I'm currently in the study of film-making. My YA fantasy series following a 18 year old male protagonist that should come out around 2016-2017. Sadly, it is not available on Wattpad. My Wattpad stories are more like short ideas I had that I don't know where to go with.
I am now a professionally paid illustrator and work for an author named Randall Hendren on his children's series coming out soon. My inspiration for stories is usually music and dreams. Music has a way of taking me out of my world and places me through the eyes of one of my very own characters, which of course is why I usually write in first person.
My favorite subject in school is of course English and Art and my Creative Writing class. Once I graduate and get my diploma I hope to major in Communications and fulfill my various dreams. Some say I dream too big, but sometimes I guess that's all you ever need to fulfill them.

What makes for a successful life insurance and annuity company? A lot of advisors would like to know, particularly when considering contracting with, or recommending, a carrier. Insurance companies want to know too, particularly when benchmarking and setting strategy.
So what are the markers?
Researchers at Conning have been peeling back the onion on this for several years. Among the intriguing findings is that most of the small companies that Conning rated as successful had at least 99 percent of their direct premiums coming from individual life and annuity products, Terence Martin, director of Conning's life-annuity research team, told AnnuityNews.
Furthermore, most of those carriers received 80 percent of their premium from annuities.
A related finding is that, once the carrier of any size finds its optimal product mix for its own markets and distribution, the successful carriers tend to stick with that mix, Martin said.
Focus on successful
The Conning study examined 217 companies in all — 96 classified as micro, 58 as small, 37 as medium and 26 as large.
Individual Life and Annuity Carriers
2014 Conning Study
Company Size
Individual Direct Premium Rankings
|Less than $20 million of assets and less than $2 million of surplus.
|Neither life or annuity direct premium ranked above 126
|Less than $2 billion of assets or less than $200 million of surplus, but above micro levels
|Direct premium or life or annuity or both ranked between 26-125, but neither ranked in top 25
|Larger than small
|Neither life or annuity direct premium ranked in top 25
|Larger than small
Direct premium or life or annuity or both ranked in top 25 regardless of description
Although smaller in number, the large carriers pack the biggest wallop in terms of market share by direct premium. The big carriers took an 83.8 percent market share, based on 2013 premium. By comparison, the midsized carriers came in at 13.1 percent, the smalls at 2.9 percent, and the micros at 0.2 percent.
The report gives the most attention to identifying success at the large, mid, and small carriers, but said the strategies uncovered at successful companies in those categories could be appropriate for companies of any size.
Conning was choosy in selecting the companies qualifying as "successful." Only 15 of small through large carriers made the cut, as shown in the chart.
| Successful Companies In 2014 Conning Study
Individual Life and Annuities
| Small
| Midsized
| Large
The success classification was based on analysis of numerous factors, using data going back over 10 years, Martin said.
The criteria include not only size of company (based on capital, assets and rankings of direct premium by products) but also operating margin, return on surplus, premium growth and sales. Then the researchers sifted for commonalities among the top performers.
Common threads
Distribution: One of the common characteristics of the 15 successful carriers has to do with distribution.
Successful companies generally have higher distributor productivity than their respective overall groups (whether small, medium or large), Martin said. "They seem to be selling more efficiently than their overall groups. Put another way, they are not paying as much to get the dollars in the door."
When evaluating distribution, the researchers removed from the analysis the companies that only sell through employees, since such carriers do not use distributors, or do not do so in the traditional sense.

music, internet, my drawing hand, friends, family, video games

On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Drawing, or gaming with buddies, or clubbing
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Big nerd lol
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
Can enjoy the little things, fun to be around, ambitious, not superficial
