Why is Hartford called the insurance city?
The first insurance company in the United States is based in Hartford, Connecticut. Hartford is called the insurance city as it is the "birthplace" of American insurance.
Does the insurance company own the car after it is totaled?
You can put in an offer to buy the written off vehicle from the Insurers if you want to repair it yourself. A write off is beyond economical repair, meaning it costs mor…e than the car is worth to fix it. It doesn't mean it cannot be repaired. There are different categories of scrapped vehicles, D, C etc. The Insurers sell the written off cars on to scrap merchants or motor traders to recoup their losses. You are perfectly entitled to buy the car back yourself for a nominal price. If the Insurers are settling your claim and giving you a settlement to get a replacement car, the damged vehicle does in effect belong to the Insurers. Hope this helps, I worked in insurance for 10 years.

Do Insurance Companies own Pharmaceutical Companies?
I don't know if they own pharmaceutical companies but it should be a conflict of interest and a crime if they do.
How much money can you make owning your own insurance company?
Simplistically, the profit of an insurance company is the premium less the claims and expenses associated with running the company plus the investment income. As a practical m…atter these components are subject to a number of factors ranging from accounting rules, regulatory rules, rating agency requirements, tax laws, lines of business written, the use and cost of reinsurance, the geographic profile in which the business is located, and litigation environment to name a few. For that reason it is difficult to answer the question without a clear understanding of these variables. One way to answer the question is to simply look at the income statement of any insurance company, (or a group of insurance companies), that fairly represents the type of insurance you would write and and territory in which you would propose to operate. By looking at the net operating income which includes investment income, the income statement indicates the amount of income that would accrue to the owner(s) of the insurance company. Perhaps a better measure than the absolute amount of profit, is the return on equity, since earning $10 Million on equity of $100 Million is arguably more desirable than earning the same amount on $1 Billion. Looking at insurance industry statistics for the Property & Casualty Insurance Industry as a whole for examples reflects a fairly marginal rate of return(http:/wwwzperiodzisozperiodzcom/ResearchzhyphenzandzhyphenzAnalyses/Overview/StudieszhyphenzandzhyphenzWhitepaperszperiodzhtml). On an individual company basis, however, some perform much better than others on a consistent basis.

Tomb Raider 2013 is a super awesome and mega fun action adventure game which is based on the origins Lara Croft and tells the story of one of her earliest adventures. Which takes place on an island called Yamatai, and is cursed by the Sun Queen along with savage storms and her samurai-like Oni scattered throughout the land. It's also great reboot for the classic Tomb Raider series. It's a great Tomb Raider game for both new fans and fans since the very beginning of the series, and I've been a fan of Tomb Raider since the days of the original releases of the classic Tomb Raider games (which I still have some of my Tomb Raider CDs which are the physical retail CD/DVD versions such as Tomb Raider Chronicles, Tomb Raider 2 Gold, and Tomb Raider Legend). Tomb Raider 2013 is very fun and nicely well-written game with awesome graphics which has a great atmosphere and fantastic scenery.
Again we play as Lara Croft but before she became a famous adventurer. The game takes place on a mysterious island There we land after the shipwreck. Our main goal is to survive and escape from the island. You can expect a very nice graphics, interesting characters and plot, many climbing, killing many people, or hunting and exploring and improving our skills and seeking treasure. And many bloody deaths of Lara. Production also has a multiplayer that is pretty cool and even some of the players still playing. However, in the game there are a large number of high level players and cheaters. The more we play our level will increase and thanks to this we will unlock new characters, weapons and skills. Tomb Raider is a brilliant production offers an intense story, a lot of interesting characters and locations, very good voice acting and soundtrack, and very nice graphics. As for me, this title is a brilliant production and worth a play.
I've never been a fan of the Tomb Raider games, or movies, or anything other than the cosplayers, but this game seemed intriguing, and boy, if there ever was a game I glad i didn't skip...actually, there are quite a lot of those. Anyway... Unlike the previous games, LAra here looks like a human being. A perfect, unbelievably hot human being, but real nevertheless. Now, her personality is a little weird. She starts off kinda bossy, then when the going gets rough, she becomes this cute person, who worries about everyone, which is fine, i guess, and then kills an animal, and feels bad about it, which is also plausible, but after that, she becomes this one man army video game protagonist killing machine a little too fast. I guess, killing a levels worth of human beings can have that effect on you, but it still looks weird. Unlike the game, which is gorgeous. Even my aging video card was able to make this a stunning experience, where even just stopping for a few seconds, and looking around is a good time. The gameplay changed significantly, ina way, that now i can actually control this game properly. Previous games gave me such a hard time, that i would've fared better in real life, because the i would've only died once in the ruins. Anyway, here, i can do amazing stunts, and fight with army without any problem. Also, the treasure hunting is great!
Fantastic game! Control "Lara" as she tries to survive on a mysterious island, home to an ancient civilization whose Queen had magical powers,and which the Nazis tried to use during WWII !!! +Great Story and Acting. +Great Graphics(Even in 2016-looks amazing in 4K) +Return to form for TR. +Smooth, Intuitive Gameplay. +Very Few Bugs or Performance Issues. I don't know why and how this franchise does it, but I'm hooked to Lara Croft games since the triangle boobs Lara era. Keep 'em coming!
Hard reset for the Tomb franchise - for some step in right directions, for others not so much. To be honest game is nicely done. Spectacular graphics, good gameplay and intersting story will keep you in front of the screen enough to get Lara crawl under your skin once again, Unfortunately bad thing is that Tomb Raider feeling is pretty much gone... very small number of quests require "tomb raider" skills, which older players will not like at all. Best description for this game is survival arcade shooter, with accent on arcade shooter - very few times will you have to include your gray cells to finish a quest or find "the end of the tunel" Game itself is...let's say half linear, open world is not so open, but you travel from one location to another to revisit locations and use new skills to finish some leftover task or quest. Game is solidly optimized, but for the best feel you will need decent machine with enough graphic card memory and solid processor to run that smoothly. To sum up good game, great graphics, good arcade feeling, but very little tomb exploration, and all raider feel...

Although kayaks and racecars are two of the world's most popular palindromes, only one maintains its luster when thrown in the ocean. Paddle a buoyant piece of wordplay with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $19 for a 90-minute double kayak rental (a $39 value)
- $39 for a kayak tour of Coronado Bay for two (a $79 value)

Explorers navigate a double kayak along a two-hour tour through natural alcoves, spying swimming sea lions and leopard sharks in the sandy flats. Before the tour, guides give a brief paddling and safety lesson to make sure no one gets left behind or stuck in second gear.

Bike & Kayak Tours
A crew of former athletes and passionate locals with a love for the outdoors wait beneath the bright-red awnings at each Bike & Kayak Tours location to guide multiple expeditions through the natural sights around San Diego. Since lessons are included—along with life vests—no prior kayaking experience is needed, and tour-goers can choose between single, double, and triple sit-on-top kayaks designed for stability.
The 7 Caves and Ecological Reserve kayak tour sends paddlers on an expedition to a 75-million-year-old sandstone cliff with seven sculpted sea caverns that resound echoes in seven-part harmony. Another tour brings kayakers along the San Diego Bay, emphasizing the city's architecture with views of the skyscrapers and the award-winning Coronado Bridge. In the spring, snorkeling trips follow the seasonal migration of leopard sharks as students paddle in the shallow waters of the sandy flats with harmless predators.

It is recorded only from the early 18th century, though greater antiquity is suggested by its trumplessness.

There are many variants depending on the region of Italy the game is played in.

"He's improved both sides of his play offensively and defensively," U-20 coach Sigi Schmid says of the MetroStars midfielder whose quiet but effective play has been obscured by the glare radiated by Freddy Adu (D.C. United) and Danny Szetela (Columbus). "Of the young players, he's come the furthest and is surely one that Bruce will give serious consideration when he picks his squad."
In his second MLS season last year, Gaven earned All-Star and Best XI honors and tallied seven goals and seven assists. He also made his debut for Arena with the national team at 17. In nine MLS games this season, he has four goals and two assists, but building on those statistics will have to wait.
A squad of 21 Americans — including Adu and Szetela as well as Gaven — has gathered in the Netherlands to play in the FIFA World Youth Championships, a biennial event that begins Friday and showcases the top young talent from across the globe. Schmid has chosen Gaven to drive the U.S. attack, forcing him to shoulder more responsibility than he does as one element in the MetroStars midfield.
"Taking on that burden playing against the top players and top teams at that age group will be a test for him," says MetroStars coach Bob Bradley, who picked Gaven in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft when he was 16. "With us, like most young players, he's learning to do more than those things that he's so good at. And offensively, Eddie is very good. No question about it."
His work rate and zeal to produce goals are a product of growing up in Hamilton, N.J., and a two-year stint in U.S. Soccer's under-17 residency program in Bradenton, Fla. National team stars Landon Donovan and DaMarcus Beasley are among those who came through the program, and Gaven thought if it was good enough for them, it was good enough for him.
"I was 14 when I went down, right after my freshman year in high school," he says of leaving home to attend school while training every day with dozens of other young prospects. "Obviously it was hard leaving my friends and family, but that's obviously the best way to get better as a soccer player — to play with the best players in the country every day."
Saturday: vs. Argentina, 11:30 a.m. ET, Fox Soccer Channel and Telefutura. The match replays on FSC at 8 p.m. Argentina has won three of the last five world championships and four overall.
June 14: vs. Germany, 2:30 p.m. ET, FSC and Galavision. The match replays on FSC at 11 p.m. The youth team has filled the full German national team with stars, who eliminated from the USA in the 2002 World Cup.
June 18: vs. Egypt, 7:30 a.m. ET, FSC and Galavision. The match replays on FSC at noon and 4 p.m. Egypt finished third in this tournament in 2001.
After group play is completed among the six, four-team groups, 16 teams will advance to the second round that will be followed by knockout play (one-game elimination). The Americans had their best finish, fourth place, in 1989.
Former U.S. under-17 coach John Ellinger, who left the residency program last fall to coach MLS expansion team Real Salt Lake, says he knew from Day 1 that Gaven had the right tools.
"Great player, and you kind of knew it right from the start," says Ellinger, whose teams finished as high as fifth in the under-17 world championships. "With the 17s, he was without a doubt our best and most consistent player. He never had a bad game."
The jump to the under-20 level is a steep one, as is adjusting to the demands of professional play. His slight frame (6-0, 165) doesn't offer a lot of resistance, and in his short stints with the full national team he gets banged around.
"He's got to grow physically stronger," Arena says of what Gaven must do to make the World Cup squad. "We see when he comes up against the big boys he spends a lot of time on the ground. But that's natural for a kid his age."
Gaven isn't fazed. He set his sights on a pro career at 7 after watching Italy against Ireland at the Meadowlands in the 1994 World Cup.
Playing until dark at nearby Lollipop Park as a child is a world away from the U-20s world championships, where the Americans must escape a first-round group that includes Germany, Argentina and Egypt.
"Our main goal is to win the whole thing, but how do you win the whole thing?" Gaven says. "The first step is to get out of our group. It's not going to be easy."
"Every one of our players can go out there and make a difference. Now it's a matter of going out and showing it."

I am trying to get some feeling for some of the reasons people have chosen to do UC and also how it went for you, maybe in regards to those reasons.
I am sorting through my own reasons to do it or not and so it would be helpful to me to hear-
Why did you choose to do a UC? How did it serve, and how did it work out for you?
So far I'm choosing to UP/UC because I have moved and my previous midwife is too far away to attend my birth. I am on Medicaid now because my husband lost his job last year so that is another reason, I haven't been able to find any HB midwives that will even tell me their rates, let alone offer to work with me financially. I could go to a midwife at the hospital for free, but after talking to them I see "hospital policy" will overrule even their beliefs & I'm not comfortable with that. I'd rather go it alone & if need be the hospital is there in case of emergency, that is one plus, now I'm less than a mile from the hospital where as with my last birth I was over a 1/2 hr away.
Missionary, birth-worker, midwifery student
Mama to DD (9yr), DS (3yr), & UC twin DDs (5yr)
zoebird Jeannine Parvati Baker is who inspired me to think about it as well! I have been very influenced by her since I was about 18 ( I am now 36). Also I saw her speak in 1999 at a conference and have a tape of the lectureI saw which is about freebirth. I listened to it many times over the years- but interestingly not since I have been pregnant as I haven't had a tapedeck that works recently. I just tonight pulled out the lecture tape and am going to find a tape deck to listen to it on.
Okay- here is my long process of thoughts and emotions at the moment- just processing it all!
I am still figuring out if doing it for my first birth feels more safe and comfortable for me or if using the midwives does. I have already paid the midwives- months ago. So it is really a matter of what feels most safe for me.
I feel on some levels that I want to have the midwives available if I need them, which I will as I have already signed on with and paid them. But on another level, I am feeling some tension with the midwives right now in terms of how much I would want them in my intimate space. I am also feeling some emotional stuff with them (mostly around support- do I even want their support yet I feel they are not giving the support I want kind of thing .)
Also another thing I am feeling right now is the feeling of going with my instinct and trusting versus educating myself on specifics or having someone there to hold a safe space. I don't know- just working it out.
Like, on one level it feels more comfortable to me to have the midwives there- at least at some of it- to assist with supporting me and making sure things are well, and helping if issues arise. This feels supportive as it iis one less thing for me to hold- and could free me up to relax more into the experience. But really that only feels so for the fear based issues that could arise. It feels less safe and open and trusting for me to have the midwives there in a way because I am not so close and open and trusting with them.
On the other hand, I do not feel that spiritually or sexually intimate with my midwives. And I very much do with my husband who is just so with me. So on an ideal level, I like to see myself allowing the fullest expression of my love and birth and family in my most trusted and private space.
Yet- on another level I feel more relaxed with the midwives available.
But on the other hand my truest self feels most relaxed when alone with my husband.
And then if I do UC the ultimate way I see it is to trust my instinct and stop getting too nitpicky with instructions and particulars.
So my feeling is- which is the best way for me to relax in my birth? If I just go with my instinct, is it then safer for me to have the midwives there to deal with any practical issues that could arise that I wouldn't know about?
Or can I actually go with my instincts and not know too much technical stuff and be safe and fine and instinctual.
And the ultimate thing is- I don't really know what birth will be. I know my body and I know my emotiions and instincts, and that if my body can grow an entire baby then it certainly knows how to give birth!
But even today I mentioned to 2 different people about how I might do the birth just me and my dh , and each had a story about how it was actually really good that the midwives were present as-
one had a cord wrapped 3 times around the neck and the midwives knew just how to free it
and the other took a while to get breathing and the midwives knew just what to do.
So- these are the thoughts in my head about this!
Which prompts me back to my original question and thanks for letting me process this! I am 38 weeks pregnant tomorrow.
One thing I have to add is that I don't feel particularly anxious about my decision- it is just the things that are coming up for me as I consider my ways of approaching it. BAsically- will I want the mw's there or not- but these are the reasons I am considering, and I feel lately like I do want the midwives there as it will make me feel safer.
Yet I find myself not liking them right now! And on a big level I don't want them there!
And I am just Loving my husband- who will obviously be there either way.
So that is my process I am considering.
I may edit this all out as I may feel over exposed!
personally, i believe that our instinct and intuition can tell us what to do in the moment, even if that means getting help right away or what have you.
and with this is the caveat that there are no guarantees in birth--whether with or without an attendant--and so i think it is important to explore that aspect within yourself thoroughly when choosing. that is, we simply must confront death and injury.
no matter what you choose, you are going to make the right choice. it's entirely based on what makes you most comfortable.
I just had a good phone conversation with the midwife and told her all my feelings and it went well! She said she can support me with either having it without them or calling if we need them on any level. I made sure to emphasize that I want her available if I feel any inclination towards having them there and she was good with that.
So we are going to actually see her in her office on Friday (in 2 days) and have a good session about anything we need to know.
It feels much better to be open with the midwife. I still feel a little tense with her because we only just processed on the phone. I like to think our meeting with her on Friday will bring a nice peace to the situation. And then I can take more attention to privacy as opposed to others.
