The state leased the Neill–Cochran House as a temporary site for the asylum while a permanent building was constructed. The asylum facility was built between 1856 and 1857 at a cost of $12,390 (equivalent to $333,000 in 2018). In 1857 the asylum moved into its building, where it operated until the end of the American Civil War in 1865, at which point |

In 1866 the asylum was restored, and it occupied the campus from then until 1915, while the program was renamed the Texas Blind Institute in 1905 and then the Texas School for the Blind in 1915. During this period the complex was expanded with the construction of several additional buildings. During World War I the School for the Blind was displaced by a military pilot training program, and a barracks was added to the complex. |

There are citations within the PUWER regulations that argue the use of safety devices such as Lockout Tagout, however at no point do the regulations state this outright.

Typically, the claims reserves represent the money which should be held by the insurer so as to be able to meet all future claims arising from policies currently in force and policies written in the past.
Methods of calculating reserves in general insurance are different from those used in life insurance, pensions and health insurance since general insurance contracts are typically of a much shorter duration. Most general insurance contracts are written for a period of one year, |

Reserves are calculated differently from contracts of a longer duration with multiple premium payments since there are no future premiums to consider in this case. The reserves are calculated by forecasting future losses from past losses. Methods The most popular methods of claims reserving include the chain-ladder method and the Bornhuetter-Ferguson method.
The chain-ladder method, also known as the development method, assumes that past experience is an indicator of future experience. Loss development patterns in the past are used |

An insurance policy provides, in return for the payment of a premium, acceptance of the liability to make payments to the insured person on the occurrence of one or more specified events (insurance claims) over a specific time period. The occurrence of the specified events and the amount of the payment are both usually modeled as random variables. In general, there is a delay in the insurer's settlement of the claim, typical reasons are (i) reporting delay (time gap between
claims occurrence and claims reporting at |

it usually takes time to evaluate the whole size of the claim. The time difference between
claims occurrence and claims closing (final settlement) can take days (e.g. in property insurance)
but it can also take years (typically in liability insurance).
Claims reserving now means, that the insurance company puts sufficient provisions from the premium payments aside, so that it is able to settle all the claims that
are caused by these insurance contracts. This is different from social insurance where one typically has a pay-as-you-go system which means that premium payments are not matched to the contracts that |

For mangroves to thrive, there needs to be some natural feature such as coral reefs to shelter the coast from ocean storms and monsoons. In Madagascar, they are mostly found on the more sheltered west coast along the Mozambique Channel, where they stretch along roughly 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) of coastline. The largest areas are in the estuaries of the Betsiboka River (in Bombetoka Bay near the city |

Unlike other Aboriginal gangs, they chose a structure similar to that found in outlaw biker culture. Each member holds a specific ranking, similar to the ranks found in outlaw biker clubs. However, according to former president Brian Contois, the Warriors were founded on a code of ethics aimed at bringing some level of morality, pride, and dignity to a way of life that would otherwise be unobtainable to these youth.

Prospective members are apprentices before they become a fully fledged members, analogous to the process of "striking" in biker gangs.

A short time later they scrapped the three-cell strategy because rival organizations were expanding too quickly for the three separate cells. So they dissolved the separate organizations and went back to a single cohesive organization. The Warriors reinstated leadership titles and a new "council" of high-ranking members was created to make decisions and pass down orders to other members in a way that protected the council from direct involvement in crime.

There has been an on-again off-again relationship between the Hells Angels and Manitoba Warriors over the city of Winnipeg’s drug distribution network.

The MW and Hells Angels have been known to work together; however, there is a lot of bad blood between the two criminal organizations.
