Apple is hoping to harness the power of AR to make it easier for riders and drivers to find each other on busy streets.
Anyone that uses ridesharing apps on a daily basis is very familiar with how difficult it can be at times to find the car designated for you. If you're at crowded locations like concerts or restaurants, it can be almost impossible to distinguish between what car is for you and what car is for the people near you. Drivers face similar problems and are often caught in the middle of traffic looking for their passengers.
Apps like Uber and Lyft now include license plate numbers and other identifying info for the rider, but Apple is trying to get a leg up on the competition, filing a patent application yesterday detailing efforts to create augmented reality systems that deal with this very problem.
"Mobile apps are helpful for requesting a car to provide transportation. But, high usage of such mobile apps can cause confusion in an urban environment where there are many cars and where other people may also be waiting on a car," they wrote in their application.
"A pin or dot identifying a GPS coordinate may not provide sufficient accuracy in a crowded environment. Therefore, it is desirable to provide devices that can assist in identifying the correct vehicle that a passenger is waiting to enter."
Apple referred to the system as an "augmented reality interface for facilitating identification of arriving vehicle," adding that it can come in a variety of iterations depending on the app or mobile device used.
"According to some embodiments of the invention, a mobile device may be used by a passenger to scan scenery. The mobile device may determine whether and where a requested vehicle is located and display an indicator of the requested vehicle on the mobile device," Apple wrote.
"Similarly, a mobile device may be used by a driver to scan scenery. The mobile device may determine whether and where a passenger is located and display an indicator of the requesting passenger on the mobile device."
Apple describes a number of different methods that could be used for passengers and drivers to identify each other using AR, including one where your rear-facing camera can identify the specific car or license plate for you and highlight it on your screen with either an outline or an arrow.
The system would do the reverse for drivers, identifying which person is their prospective passenger through their face, clothing, hairstyle, height and weight. When the driver and passenger get near each other, the Apple device may also notify both to use their device to scan the area for the other person.
Apple said in the application that the AR system would also be useful for anyone taking public transportation in countries where they do not speak the language.
Apple has been on the forefront of incorporating AR into their systems, and in March they released ARKit 1.5, a platform designed to help app makers incorporate AR features into their app's functionality.
ARKit has already been used in a variety of ways for a multitude of different actions. An intern at eBay spearheaded an effort to create HeadGaze, an iOS app that lets you move around an iPhone screen with only a turn of the head. The app is designed for those with physical disabilities or conditions that make it difficult to use their hands. With the app, you can browse and move through your iPhone with just a glance.
Apple is planning to expand ARKit and allow more apps to use it for a number of different purposes.
Apple filed a patent application for a device interface that would allow you to use AR with ridesharing apps in an effort to make it easier to find drivers or passengers.
The application had plans for a wide variety of ways ridesharing apps could incorporate AR, including systems that would allow the device's camera to search an area and find a corresponding passenger or driver.

This is where you will come to find all of the latest updates we have done to the site. If you want to see if we have posted anything new to the sight and/or the latest news surrounded the team itself, this is the place to be!
Making Moves!
The Hawks have been on the move during this off-season! The ripple effect of hiring a new coach has trickled down to securing a new-look roster for the upcoming season. While the familiar faces of Al, Jeff, Kyle, John and Mike are sure to be seen at Philips Arena yet again, the Hawks have done quite a bit of damage on the roster front. Fans welcomed Paul Millsap, Elton Brand, Gustavo Ayon, DeMarre Carroll, and rookies Mike Muscala, Lucas Nogueira, and Dennis Schroeder (or Schröder).
The rookies already made an impact on fans with their play in the Las Vegas Summer League, even though they came home earlier than hoped. The Hawks have sent Muscala and Nogueira to Spain to work on improving their NBA readiness.
We will greatly miss the contributions of Josh Smith (Pistons) and Zaza Pachulia (Bucks) as well as those who will not be returning after a season during which many critics had the Hawks pegged to miss the entirety of the playoffs.
The Atlanta Hawks welcomed new Head Coach, Mike Budenholzer, to the team at a press conference on May 29, 2013. Coach Budenholzer spent 19 seasons with the Spurs and the last 17 seasons as their assistant coach.
Joining Coach Budenholzer are Quin Snyder and Darvin Ham as assistant coaches.
We would like to thank Coach Larry Drew for his contributions to the team throughout these past seasons and wish him luck on his future position as head coach for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Congratulations, Hawks!
The Atlanta Hawks clinched their sixth playoff berth with a 44-38 season record. Many critics did not have the team making a playoff appearance at all this season. Unfortunately, the Hawks fell to the Indiana Pacers after an intense series of six games.

Kitchen Design & Measuring Guides. Measure Your Kitchen.
Since the early '90s, our Carole team at at 215 Salem Street in Woburn has helped Boston-area homeowners with their new kitchens. We specialize in crafting professional designs for people remodeling (or building new construction) and wanting NEW cabinetry and/or countertops. We guide you through product selection and storage solutions with customized layouts and products to suit your needs. If you are, in fact, seeking professional kitchen design and you'd like new kitchen cabinets or countertops, we can help! Over the decades—and literally thousands of kitchens—we have refined a process and established a fantastic showroom…to help you reach your individual project goals.
Design Phase 1: Complimentary design consultation in our showroom.
Photos of your current space, even if it will be changing.
Clippings or photo links for styles/designs you like.
We will review cabinetry options, finishes, storage, etc. and discuss your vision, time frame, and budget.
After your first meeting, please allow about a week for us to work on your plans.
Please do a QUICK MEASURE. This gives your Carole designer enough basic data about your space to get started.
Measure in INCHES each WALL (not cabinet), corner to corner.
Note the width in INCHES of each appliance in current location.
Note ceiling height (floor to ceiling) in INCHES.
Measure doors and windows (outside casing to outside casing) in INCHES.
You'll see a preliminary 3D/computerized drawing of your new kitchen and get an estimate for cabinetry & countertop options.
We provide these first two expert consultations and initial design preview at no cost to you. Why? We want to earn your confidence—in both our design expertise and the product selections offered.
Your designer will ask you to sign a retainer agreement and pay a retainer fee. (100% of this retainer is used as a deposit toward your kitchen cabinetry purchase). This allows your designer to visit your home for an on-site measure and release hard copies of your personalized design plans to you/your installer.
After the professional, in-home measure, your designer will finesse and complete your design, and he or she thoroughly reviews every aspect of your order. You'll sign-off on your plans, purchase products, and we submit your order. You will receive a final copy of plans.
We will call you when your products arrive in our warehouse to set up a delivery date.


We were determined to create something special when we recently refurbished the Bolton Hotel as part of our 10-year anniversary celebrations. Being independent gave us the opportunity to express ourselves differently from other hotels. We wanted to create a 5-star atmosphere: sophisticated and comfortable, yet approachable as well. The aim was to make every part of the hotel a welcoming and relaxing space.
So first up, we set about transforming the lobby. Guests can now enjoy an espresso café, comfy chairs, cosy nooks around the fireplace, free wi-fi and other amenities such as i-pad check in.
In the evening the espresso café transitions into a bar and guests can choose from a menu that stocks small dishes, cured meat platters, a comprehensive wine list, cocktails and craft beers. People are encouraged to sink back in the comfy chairs and relax, as they would in their own lounge.
Once the refurbishment of the lobby was completed we commenced work on the hotel corridors. Warwick Angus, Managing Director of the Bolton Hotel is the nephew of iconic New Zealand artist Rita Angus. His connection to the Angus private family collection meant we were able to access some pretty special art for our walls. The corridors are now feature prints by Rita Angus, with many of the pieces on display rarely seen.
Finally we tackled the drive-through. We wanted to make our valet parking more than simply parking your car. We wanted to create a seamless experience – one where guests receive a warm welcome on the way in and a problem-free goodbye on the way out. Valet parking can be pre-booked and is charged at $30 per night.
During the refurbishment we installed an Escea fireplace. After seeing the completed product Escea approached us to write a case study on the project, we couldn't be happier with the result and the cosy fireplace setting has been enjoyed by many guests already.


Ferry Boat from the São Joaquim see terminal to Bom Despacho, Itaparica island (1 hour, R$ 5).
From Bom Despacho, bus to Valença (2 hours, R$ 20).
From Valença speed boat to Boipeba (1 hour, R$ 44).
Other option is to take a bus from Valença to Torrinha, then a boat to Boipeba (2,5 hours, R$ 16).
Catamaràn from Mercato Modelo see terminal to Morro de são Paulo (R$ 95, 2 hours), then speed boat or jeep from Morro to Boipeba (R$ 95 por person, 1,5 hora).
If you are interested, at the moment of the reservation we can organize transfer from Salvador (airport or hotel) to Valença with reliable chauffeur (R$ 500).

Clinton Makes Some BIG Accusations…You Won't BELIEVE The Hypocrisy
YES!	 TERRIBLE!	 LOVE	 FAKE NEWS	 YUGE!
February 28, 2018, 12:53 pm 4.1k Views
Trump is being called a "Putin-worshipping wuss" who could not care less about our country. Hillary Clinton is of course behind the recent barrage of insults.
The Hill reports:
Hillary Clinton on Wednesday accused President Trump of ignoring a threat to national security after Adm. Michael Rogers, head of U.S. Cyber Command, said he has not been directed to counter possible Russian meddling in the 2018 midterm elections.
In a tweet, the former Democratic presidential nominee said "the Russians are still coming" and implored Trump to take steps to secure America's voting infrastructure ahead of the midterms.
"I say this as a former Secretary of State and as an American: the Russians are still coming. Our intelligence professionals are imploring Trump to act. Will he continue to ignore & surrender, or protect our country?" Clinton tweeted.
Rogers told lawmakers on Capitol Hill Tuesday that he would require additional authorization from Trump to take more steps to secure voting systems.
"I need a policy decision that indicates there is specific direction to do that," Rogers said. "The president ultimately would make this decision in accordance with a recommendation from the secretary of Defense."
CNN political analyst and Democratic strategist Paul Begala accused Trump of being a "wuss" in responding to Russia.
"Why is Donald Trump, a man so tough he says he would rush into a school shooting unarmed, why is he such a wuss and a wimp about Russia?" Begala said on "Anderson Cooper 360."
"What do the Russians have on him? Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's just there's something about Mr. Putin that our president just worships and adores. But the evidence, the direct evidence is just catastrophic for him," he said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The hypocrisy of these critics is mind blowing. Trump has the courage to put America first, and all they want to do is take us back to a time of "wussy" policy decisions that sent the wrong message to the rest of the world.

Home / General News / Vote out Lungu before he destroys the army the way they have destroyed the police – Panji
Vote out Lungu before he destroys the army the way they have destroyed the police – Panji
By Christopher Miti on August 4, 2021
COLONEL Panji Kaunda says deploying the army on the streets amounts to abuse.
Commenting on President Edgar Lungu's deployment of the army 'to help police quell political violence', Col Panji said ordering the army to patrol the streets when two people are murdered was not acceptable.
"Zambians must realise that we are in this mess where the President as Commander-In-Chief has forced the army to be patrolling in our streets. Let's first look at the role that the army are supposed to play in the country. The army and the defence forces are supposed to defend the country from external…and when we have got an internal uprising or armed and the police and other agencies cannot manage, then the army comes in," he explained. "But you cannot bring in the army into a political situation or it's a murder case. Two people are killed badly then you call the army to come and patrol the streets. That is abuse of the army."
Col Panji said the army were trained to shoot and kill legally and not to start searching cars for weapons of different type.
"We are in this mess because the government of ba Lungu by politicising police have failed the nation. The police are now like a party cadre. They can't control anybody, they can't arrest anybody from the PF, the only thing they are doing is arresting people from the opposition political parties," he noted. "So as a result, the people are forced to defend themselves. I am not saying killing somebody is right. It is wrong but as a saying goes 'kudziwa chagwetsa dzaye kuti Njobvu ithyoke mnyanga' – the chewas say. What is the cause for this violence? The cause for this violence is that the police have been biased towards one side. Whenever a PF cadre does something they are never arrested but as soon as the people from the opposition cough, they are arrested for coughing."
Col Panji said if the police were free and fair, issues of violence would not have been there.
"The police would have been arresting anybody who does violence as a criminal activity not as a party activity. I get worried when I hear our police say 'we have arrested so and so suspected to be a PF cadre or an MDC cadre. That's not it. They are supposed to take these people as law breakers," he said.
Col Panji said the country was where it is because of the failure of the government led by President Lungu.
"The remedy now or in few days is to vote them out because they have failed us. Let's vote these people out and put a serious guy ahead of us otherwise they are going to destroy the army the way they have destroyed the police," he said. "These incidences that are happening here they are still police cases. They are not armed with guns and bombs. they are armed with machetes and knives and it is the police who are supposed to deal with that. They have got the police intelligence and, or that, they are supposed to detect that. This is a situation where there is a failure by the President as Commander-In-Chief to control the situation in the country and anybody who fails must face consequences."
Col Panji said Zambians should punish President Lungu because he is the one who has failed.
"The consequence here is to change the government. I am not being political but being practical. We have got a few more days to go, I implore Zambians to keep calm. Let's punish the one who has put us in harm's way," he urged. "Those are doing their work because they are trained to obey orders. Soldiers never disobey an order no matter how it is. Otherwise, don't blame the soldiers for being in the streets, it's their job, they have been ordered, they have no choice."
Meanwhile, UPND spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa said three weeks ago, UPND had information on deployment of soldiers across the country for purposes of elections.
He argued that it was not the Kanyama incidence that had prompted the deployment of soldiers.
"Soldiers deployed in Mumbwa five days ago. They were deployed in many areas of the country. We shall not question their operations because they have their own modus operandi, they may have information which we do not have," he said. "But the question is this, in a democratic state like ours, wouldn't it have been nice for us to know what the security challenge is for soldiers to deploy? …And who is fighting for soldiers to deploy?"
Mweetwa said in 2019 and 2020, the Zambia Police, through the national budget were allocated K11.1 billion to acquire armament.
He said the Zambia Police had been armed as if they were a paramilitary grouping confronting a dissident militia group in the country.
"They are heavily armed to the teeth against citizens who are not even armed with stones but are armed with the truth, telling the nation, telling a president, Mr President Edgar Changwa Lungu you are a failure, your leadership is anchored on a legacy of corruption, failure to create employment, issues to do with debt, political violence, political cadreism, failure to improve conditions of service, failures to pay retirees their money" Mweetwa said. "These are the stones Zambians are carrying, truth in their mouth and not stones or anything for Zambia Police to arm themselves in the manner they have armed themselves."
He said it was commendable that the Zambia Army had deployed in Kanyama.
"I want to put it very clear, we the UPND Alliance have every confidence in Zambia Army because they have an enduring and excellent reputation locally and internationally in terms of their professionalism," he said.
Mweetwa said the Zambia Army had served and maintained Zambia's territorial integrity very well.
He noted that the Zambia Army had gone to international peace missions in Sierra Leone, Central African Republic and South Sudan.
"The report we have received about Zambia Army, Zambia National Service, Zambia Police is excellent in terms of their professionalism. Some of our colleagues unfortunately have lost their lives trying to serve humanity out there. We do not think that in this election Zambia Army are deploying to intimidate voters," he noted. "We do not think the Zambia Army can sacrifice their good reputation for a party that has quickly lost the popularity among the citizens, that they must now go on the streets to intimidate voters, no."
Mweetwa told people that when they see soldiers deployed around a polling station, they should be happy that they were safe and no one would tamper with their votes.
"This is what we need in this election and therefore we commend President Lungu for that decision," he said. "Let Zambia Army deploy en masse especially in urban areas because we don't want this mediocrity and lunacy by Patriotic Front where they send their cadres to go and harass poll staff, bring chaos around polling stations."
He said an election properly guarded by Zambia Army would have integrity and that the UPND would accept its outcome.
Mweetwa said the UPND had noted the suffering of the men in uniform.
"When they deploy in UN peacekeeping missions, they get paid in US dollars. Government shares that money; government of Zambia shares a salary of a soldier, a salary of a police officer, a salary of ZNS officer 50-50 if not more," he charged.
He said if given the mandate, the UPND would bring the bad practice to an end.
He said no one should ask to share a salary of an office on peace mission.
"Begin to imagine, those officers who lost their lives, did these government officials also contribute to that life, that they also suffered an injury…? Nothing. If you die, you die alone; if you get paid, you get paid alone. Therefore, no one should share the salary," he said. "I have been in Parliament, there are members of parliament, they perform a lot of tours outside the country. Sometimes a minister would be out of the country for two months, they get paid a lot of money in dollars. Have you ever heard that government, minister of foreign affairs, I will use [Joe] Malanji because he is my brother, he is no longer going to be minister of foreign affairs unless HH nominates him…have you ever heard that minister Malanji has been out for two months, he has been paid say US $20,000 and Government of the Republic of Zambia is going to get US$10,000 off the minister or member of parliament, including me? Why should it be that when a civil servant, a soldier, a police officer goes to UN peacekeeping government comes in to share? This is theft by daylight."
Mweetwa urged the soldiers to do what their Malawian counterparts did in that country.
A caller asked him if the UPND would bring on board the PF leaders like the PF have done with MMD and Mweetwa said not everyone in the ruling party was bad and corrupt.
He said some of the ministers and PF leaders were good and deserve a place in the next government.

Hi, my name is Andrew and I'm big fan of thriller I rarely give 10/10 in my reviews but after watching Beneath The Leaves... holy crap this was very, very good movie. Smart talk, smart conversations between actors, that's what I like. I'm still impressed about this movie, even after watching it about six times ;) This is the movie that get me to create account on imdb some time ago and write same review. It's hard to find any inappropriate scene in this masterpiece. What makes this movie interesting? Conversations, music, characters, just everything. There is no serious competition for Beneath The Leaves in thriller genre. I love watching movies online on such websites, it is so easy and free instead of paying for netflix or hulu. I wish I could be you and watch this movie once again without knowing every part.

Anxiety rises near Bridgeton Landfill as emergency plans disclosed

As anxiety grows in neighborhoods near the Bridgeton Landfill, newly released emergency plans may be of little comfort.
Some say concern among residents and area officials has heightened since Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster released reports last month that said an underground fire at the landfill was moving toward radioactive waste in the adjacent West Lake Landfill.
Koster's office also said some radioactive contamination was outside West Lake, a Superfund site overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency. The reports contradict landfill owner Republic Services' assurances that the fire is under control and come as Koster's office presses a lawsuit against Republic over the landfill.
"Since the release of that information, I've fielded a lot more questions, at least on a more consistent basis than we had before," said Pattonville Fire Protection District Assistant Fire Chief Matt LaVanchy, whose department would have jurisdiction over an emergency at the landfill.
During a Sunday community event in St. Ann, residents distributed fliers on what to do during a radiation emergency.
Rhonda Marsala, who heads the St. Ann Business Association, said she reached out to St. Louis County's Office of Emergency Management. Representatives there offered to attend and provide the radiation safety brochures, which use information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"It kind of let us know there was a sense of urgency on St. Louis County's part," Marsala said.
More people have been asking about the landfills, she agreed.
"I think the real kicker that got people interested was when Koster's report came out," Marsala said. "There's definitely a sense of urgency felt by the community."
St. Louis County Executive Steve Stenger, in a phone interview, said the county provided the fliers at the request of the public, and it's not indicative of an existing emergency. An emergency response plan, first drafted in October 2014, was also released in response to recent media requests and to illustrate the county has put time into planning for an incident in Bridgeton, he added.
"We are quite literally ready to respond to any scenarios as they may present themselves," Stenger said.
First reported by KMOX (1120 AM), the county's emergency plan says if the fire reaches contaminated areas of West Lake, "there is a potential for radioactive fallout to be released in the smoke plume and spread throughout the region."
The cities of Bridgeton, Hazelwood, Maryland Heights, Champ and St. Charles would be "directly affected," the plan says. It details an evacuation plan, communication and other responses.
The EPA has said it doesn't believe the radioactive waste would be spread via air, although there would be an increase in radon gas.
LaVanchy, the assistant Pattonville chief, said he has taught firefighter training and worked closely with St. Louis County to develop the plan. Still, he said, it's more of a guideline for first responders.
"That situation at the landfill is so dynamic, you can't prepare for every single possibility that's out there," he said. "That document, for all intents and purposes, is to give first responders a heads up, a leg up."
Republic Services has insisted the fire is under control and is not moving toward West Lake. LaVanchy said he agreed that the fire appears to have "stalled."
But, he said, there was nothing to indicate the fire couldn't begin moving again.
Meanwhile, Koster's expert reports released last month have spurred Republic Services to move the case from St. Louis County Circuit Court to federal court.
In court filings last week, the Phoenix-based waste management company says Koster's expert reports show it "intends to assert control" over radioactive waste that EPA has "exclusive jurisdiction" over.
Koster, in a statement, called the move "a delaying tactic." He said his office opposes the move and push to keep a March trial date in St. Louis County Circuit Court.
Editor's note: Republic Services has already moved the case to federal court. A prior version indicated Republic petitioned to move the case from St. Louis County Circuit Court.

Editorial: Help residents near West Lake and Bridgeton landfills breathe easy
The losers so far in the standoff between Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster and Republic Services, Inc., owners of the Bridgeton and West Lake landfills, are the area's anxiety-filled residents.
Mr. Koster released reports last month saying an underground fire at the Bridgeton Landfill was moving toward radioactive waste in the adjacent West Lake Landfill. You don't have to be a scientist to realize that is not the right direction for that fire to go.

From Socialist Appeal, Vol. III No. 26, 21 April 1939, p. 2.
While the politicians in Washington are proceeding to carve out the life of the Wagner Labor Disputes Act, the National Labor Relations Board is ready to spring one of its most sensational hearings in the case of the United Rubber Workers of America against the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. of Akron, Ohio.
The amazing story of the development and the results of the sit-down strikes in the giant rubber plants in 1936 will be unfolded, and this is a subject on which both the company and the C.I.O. are extremely sensitive.
Neither side is anxious to have this hot potato occupy the center of the stage but it is inevitable. For it was in resisting the onsweep of the rubber worker through their effective sit-down strike that Goodyear earned its notorious reputation as a scab outfit.
The Ku Klux Klan, the Black Legion, the Goodyear Stahlmate Club and countless other anti-union organizations had mushroom growth and decline during this period while the Goodyear officials experimented to find a way of stopping union growth. Spies, stool-pigeons, Mr. Paul Bergoff himself, the Law and Order League, ex-Mayor C. Nelson Sparks and the war veterans – all the potential and fascist scum took a crack at breaking the union but still it established itself.
Bribing politicians, giving city policemen bonuses to club and tear gas union pickets, and every other conceivable method was used by the company to stop the rubber workers.
In the revealing of this story before the N.L.R.B., America will get a concise picture of the whole story of the difficulties and problems that faced the C.I.O. in its early days.
Tom Girdler as a member of the Board of Directors of Goodyear, P.W. Litchfield, company president, Akron city officials and others should be in for some very unpleasant publicity.
The company will probably try to avoid the issues by the simple device of raising the cry of "revolution" and "Soviets" against the sit-downs of which quite a few dozen were pulled at Goodyear.
In particular, on May 20, 1936, Goodyear yelled that the workers formed a soviet at plant two when a group of cool-headed union committeemen took charge of the plant to prevent considerable bloodshed which threatened because of the provocations of company unionists and stooges.
Although 21 union men were arrested for "rioting" the frame-up charges were exposed and the union militants freed.
Another time Cliff Slusser, vice-president of the company, got drunk and tried to get tough with union militants in the plant, according to the unionists, and he was ejected for his own good. Of course, this incident will be termed "insurrection" by the company.
There is no question but that an intelligent answer will stop the company's counter-offensive when the hearings begin. Unfortunately, prominent union officials like John House, Goodyear Local president, and Stanley Denlinger, attorney for the U.R.W.A., have made some ill-advised statements on sit-downs, etc., and these can easily boomerang.
One thing is certain, however. For the first time in C.I.O. history, the whole story of sit-downs, etc. from every point of view is going to be told.

Sec. 441.001. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) An insurer delinquency, or the state's inability to properly proceed in a threatened delinquency, directly or indirectly affects other insurers by creating a lack of public confidence in insurance and insurers. Insurer delinquencies destroy public confidence in the state's ability to regulate insurers. The harmful results of insurer delinquencies, including those described by this subsection, are properly minimized by laws designed to protect and assist insureds, creditors, and owners.
(3) the insurer's agency force.
(c) The value of the assets described by Subsection (b) should be preserved if the circumstances of the insurer's financial condition warrant an attempt to rehabilitate or conserve the insurer and the rehabilitation or conservation is otherwise feasible.
(d) It is a proper concern of this state and proper policy to attempt to correct or remedy insurer misconduct, ineptness, or misfortune.
(5) alleviate concerns regarding insurance and insurers.
(f) Rehabilitation of an insurer might not be accomplished in every case, but this chapter facilitates and directs an attempt to rehabilitate an insurer without immediate resort to the harsher remedy of receivership. If receivership becomes necessary, the preliminary supervision and conservatorship may prevent a dissipation of assets, which will benefit policyholders, creditors, and owners.
(g) For the reasons stated by this section, the substance and procedures of this chapter are the public policy of this state and are necessary to the public welfare. That policy and welfare require the availability of this chapter and the application of this chapter if circumstances warrant.
(h) This chapter provides, in conjunction with other law, a generally ordered sequence, and provides for review at each step, of supervision, concurrent conservatorship and rehabilitation, including reinsurance, and cessation of the conservatorship by rehabilitation or by receivership and liquidation if at any time that cessation is indicated or determined to be appropriate.
Sec. 441.002. DEFINITION. In this chapter, unless the purposes of this chapter clearly require or the context clearly indicates another meaning, "insurer" means a person, organization, or company, regardless of whether the person or entity is authorized or admitted, that engages in the business of insurance or that acts as a principal or agent of a person, organization, or company engaged in the business of insurance. The term includes a stock insurance company, reciprocal or interinsurance exchange, Lloyd's plan, fraternal benefit society, stipulated premium company, title insurance company, and mutual insurance company of any kind, including a statewide mutual assessment company, local mutual aid association, burial association, county mutual insurance company, and farm mutual insurance company.

(a) The commissioner shall adopt rules that encourage the merger of insurers in weak financial condition with insurers in strong financial condition in cases in which rehabilitation or conservation of an insurer would be inefficient or impracticable.
(b) The rules and procedures for conservatorship may not be used unless the rules and procedures adopted to promote the merger of insurers in weak financial condition are followed.

(7) is in a condition that makes the insurer's continuation in business hazardous to the public or to the insurer's policyholders or certificate holders.

The commissioner shall give notice of that determination to the attorney general.
