Your School Insurance Requirements
Posted on June 27th, 2010
As the school season approaches, it is that time of year where you are beginning to receive information about your school’s insurance plan.

- Worst place to keep your toothbrush — the bathroom sink
There are 3.2 million microbes per square inch in the average toilet bowl, and all of those germs are propelled out every time you flush, settling on the floor and the sink.

Shoes track in allergens and contaminants. Leave your shoes by the front door. - Worst place to fall asleep — under piles of blankets

Posted on June 9th, 2010

Integrating Your Insurance Newsletter into Your Podcasts
Posted on June 7th, 2010
In April, The Nielsen Company introduced a report that showed online video viewers had increased to a total of 131.7 million viewers in March 2010.
