Telematics-based insurance policies are growing slowly. According to Harry Huberty, lead associate with Novarica, overall participation for telematics-fueled usage-based insurance remains modest. “About one-third of property and casualty carriers have telematics capabilities live or in pilot, and only about a third of their policyholders participate in those programs,” he says.

What Makes Reading Enjoyable?
I sat opposite my therapist, focusing effortfully on her lesson. She was teaching me how to read post-concussion using strategies: highlighters to highlight words I needed to remember; pens to write notes in the margins and in a notebook to remember the text; two sheets of paper to cover off pages and paragraphs I wasn’t reading; sticky notes to mark key points; a decision list on how to choose material that gave me the best chance of reading. I went home with this clutch of strategies to help me read for five minutes per day, the limit of my ability to read after brain injury.
