This post is part of a series sponsored by Expert Insured. If every change in your system requires a support ticket, it’s already slowing you down-and costing you more than you think.

It’s dangerous for MGAs trying to stay competitive in a fast-moving market. When Your System Can’t Adapt, Your Business Can’t Either If your…

File photo of former Sen. Leila de Lima (Senate Public Relations and Information Bureau) MANILA, Philippines — Former Senator Leila de Lima has maintained that the Court of Appeals (CA) decision has not reversed her acquittal from drug-related charges, noting that the appellate court just wanted the Regional Trial Court (RTC) decision to be fixed.

Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons. With an abundance of fresh produce at the farmer’s market, veggies in the garden, and summer family activities, it’s nearly perfect… Except for the bugs, poison ivy, and occasional sunburn! Since we moved to the south years ago, I get to enjoy even more warm, summer weather. And with it comes even more mosquitoes. Of course, homemade bug spray helps ward off most of the mosquitoes, and homemade sunscreen helps avoid the sunburn in the first place.

When you walk up to the Denver Convention Center, it’s impossible to miss the giant, blue 40-foot bear peering through the glass. Officially titled “I See What You Mean” by artist Lawrence Argent, the sculpture is a symbol of curiosity and wonderment. It was inspired by a photo of a bear looking into someone’s window during a Colorado drought, and Argent’s creation captures the interest the public has around “the exchange of information, ideas, and ideologies” during events like this year’s National Laboratory Information Technology (NLIT) Summit, held May 5-8, 2025 (source). Inside the convention center, that same spirit of…
