#ReleaseBlitz: The Executive by K.I. Lynn
Cover Design: Lori Jackson Design
She's just a tool, and I'll ruin her, because I need to.
From the moment I first saw her, Ivy Prescot has been a bad idea. Strong willed, beautiful, intelligent--she is my perfect storm. The attraction is palpable, undeniable. The problem is she's the assistant to the CEO of a hundred-million dollar company. She's my assistant. The other problem? She was previously the assistant to my rival and the man I have sworn to destroy at all costs. I need her to achieve my goal, but I will rip apart anyone that stands in my way. In the game of crushing kings of men, I never planned on my heart being a sacrifice. Everything is in motion, unable to be stopped. I can only hope that when the dust settles she will forgive me.

#ReviewTour: Hollywood Playboy by Natasha Madison
Jessica An entertainment journalist was the last thing I thought I would be doing. I thought once I got my degree, I would be reporting on stories that made a difference, but now all I do is report on who broke up with who and who is dating who. I was over it. Then I got my next assignment. He's Hollywood's bad boy. He works hard, and he plays even harder. He's rude, he's condescending, and he's made it known he doesn't want me on the tour. With one month on the road with him, two things might happen One, I may never work in this industry again. Two, I may just be like everyone else and fall for Hollywood's Playboy.
AMAZON US | AMAZON CA | AMAZON UK | AMAZON AU | APPLE | B&N
Mr. Playboy is the first book of the Hollywood series.
Tyler is the latest "IT" male star in Hollywood. He's had his share of scandals, affairs, and successes, but he hasn't found a woman he can trust wholeheartedly and who he can be who he really is. Jessica is an entertainment journalist, who gets first dibs on all the hot gossip going around in Hollywood. She's had a few encounters with Tyler before, but let's just say they were less than stellar. Because of the nature of both of their jobs, to say that they don't like each other much is a bit of an understatement. When Tyler and Jessica find each other in close quarters for a whole month, either sparks will fly or they'll kill each other.
This is a slow burn, enemies to lovers story with characters that are very likeable and easy relatable. I LOVED Jessica, that girl had fighting power and some serious back bone, even when she was hurting inside. This is an heroine that was well written, who didn't play victim but didn't allow to be disrespected by anyone. I think Tyler was misunderstood most of the time, a life in the public eye is not an easy life for anyone, but especially when you're judged after every movement you make. We really got to see that being a big star is not only hard work but losing some of you to a world that might think know you but really don't.
Hollywood Playboy is sassy, joyful, with a little angst for good measure, steamy, and swoon worthy when it came to Tyler wooing Jessica. I'm looking forward to the next book of this series, Hollywood Princess. Good job, Natasha!
When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...

DUCHESS BY DECEPTION by Marie Force
A Gilded Novel
In New York Times bestselling author Marie Force's dazzling historical romance debut, the clock is ticking for a wealthy Duke who must marry by his thirtieth birthday—or lose his title...
Derek Eagan, the dashing Duke of Westwood, is well aware of his looming deadline. But weary of tiresome debutantes, he seeks a respite at his country home in Essex—and encounters a man digging on his property. Except he's not a man. He's a very lovely woman. Who suddenly faints at his feet.
Catherine McCabe's disdain for the aristocracy has already led her to flee an arranged marriage with a boorish Viscount. The last thing she wants is to be waylaid in a Duke's home. Yet, she is compelled to stay by the handsome, thoughtful man who introduces himself as the Duke's estate manager. Derek realizes two things immediately: he is captivated by her delicate beauty, and to figure out what she was up to, Catherine must not know he is the Duke. But as they fall passionately in love, Derek's lie spins out of control. Will their bond survive his deception, not to mention the scorned Viscount's pursuit? Most important, can Catherine fall in love all over again—this time with the Duke?

#ReleaseBlitz #Review: Anton (Chicago Blaze One) by Brenda Rothert

Anton by Brenda Rothert
Chicago Blaze, #1
He's known as Father Anton to his teammates—the brooding, sexy captain of the NHL's Chicago Blaze has a reputation for…not having a reputation. Just like his diet and sleep routines, celibacy is part of Anton Petrov's on-ice mojo. Or so they say. Anton stays mum on the subject. If the world thinks he chooses to abstain from sex, so be it. Better that than the truth getting out: there is a woman he burns for, but he can never have her. She's his teammate's wife, after all. Mia Marceau is finally on her own. Now that she and her husband are living apart, she's finding the peace she was desperate for. She spends her days in classes and late nights bartending, making her own way in the world at last. After what she's been through, as long as her husband leaves her alone, she doesn't plan to rock the boat. He still has the power to hurt those dearest to her, and she can't demand a divorce with such a high cost. A chance encounter with Mia has Anton hoping for a shot he never thought he'd get. And while she's drawn to the intense, serious hockey center, Mia's leery about playing with fire. That's all Anton has ever known for Mia, though—a living, burning desire that won't be denied—no matter the cost.
Add the book to Goodreads
For me a book is not only about how much sex the author can write between the pages and how many times the two main characters hook up, but about their journey and the road blocks they have to conquer to finally get their HEA. Anton is one of those books, don't get me wrong, they are plenty of sexy times, and the reader will soon realize that Mr. Petrov wasn't such a saint after all.
When Mia Marceu married her husband she thought he was her prince, the man she'll be forever with, but he turned out to be a devil in disguise instead. Mia leaves him in order to find herself again and start living the life she deserves. Anton Petrov had an encounter with Mia a few years back and he knew right then and there that he couldn't have her, but his attraction to her only grew as time went by. After a chance encounter, could Anton have the chance he's been hoping with with Mia and be the man she needs to see her soar?
Rothert wrote realistic characters that are dealing with things that any of us could be facing at any given time of our lives. Perhaps because Anton and Mia respect each other and let the other deal with their issues without pushing, I liked them even more. Anton is compassionate, caring and protective with those he loves. His relationship with his brother and uncle Dix proved the kind of man he is even more. Mia is a survivor through and through, she's trying to navigate life the best she can with the hand she's been dealt. I loved her fighting spirit and her devoted love for her grandfather. And if there is one character in this book that completely took me by surprised and I LOVED, is uncle Dix. What a fantastic, delightful guy to get to know.
Anton brings laughs, angst, sensuality, tears, and the feeling of wanting to throw your Kindle against the wall with all you have. A fresh beginning to the Chicago Blaze series. Highly recommended!!!

Option One: Wham, Bam, Thank You, Ma'am. Option Two: Till Death Do Us Part. Grace has only ever believed in Option One. But James makes her question that belief from the moment she meets him. James has only ever believed in Option Two. But Grace goes out of her way to shake his belief from the moment he meets her. He'll move heaven and earth to convince her she's the only option he wants for the rest their forever.
Here's another gem from Toni's hockey world.
Amelia and Chandler have known each other for years, they were very closed at one point and she was the one who got away. Amelia's life didn't turn out exactly the way she thought it would, her high school sweetheart turned out to be something out of a nightmare, and after living him, now little by little she's putting her life back together. Chandler married too young and too soon. He married an opportunist, someone who only wanted him for his money. But a chance encounter and the realization that they're both single, could be the second chance at happiness neither one of them saw coming.
Toni's books always bring to the surface how important family and good friends are, and Juicy Rebound is not the exception to that rule. I loved seeing Amelia and Chandler interact with the people closed to them, you can feel the love and respect they all have for each other and see how supportive they are no matter how the past played out. I admired how Chandler took it upon himself to lift Amelia, to give her the support she needed and allowing her to make her own decisions at her own pace. And Amelia, even though she went through hell, that girl is one strong cookie. Slowly but surely she's standing back up and going back to the girl she was, independent, feisty and lively.
As usual Ms. Aleo's writing flows effortlessly and keeps the reader glued to the story until the very end. Her characters have substance and they show that throughout the story, those are exactly the things that made me truly enjoy this book, the first of brand new series with what looks like very interesting characters and some laughs along the way, can we say Shelli and Nico? Don't miss this one!!!
My name is Toni Aleo and I'm a total dork.
I am a wife, mother of two and a bulldog, and also a hopeless romantic.
I am the biggest Shea Weber fan ever, and can be found during hockey season with my nose pressed against the Bridgestone Arena's glass, watching my Nashville Predators play!
When my nose isn't pressed against the glass, I enjoy going to my husband and son's hockey games, my daughter's dance competition, hanging with my best friends, taking pictures, scrapbooking, and reading the latest romance novel.
I have a slight Disney and Harry Potter obsession, I love things that sparkle, I love the color pink, I might have been a Disney Princess in a past life… probably Belle.
… and did I mention I love hockey?

#ReleaseBlitz #Review: Stiffed by Joanne Schwehm
***STANDALONE NOVEL***
She is the one. I knew it then, and I know it now.
It has been ten years since I first laid eyes on her, ten years since I've held her, ten years since I've been inside of her . . . and ten years since I broke her heart.
Now she's back. And when I look into the eyes of my first and only love, I know she is the one for me. She is still the most beautiful woman, and she can still make my body come alive with just a glance.
If I feel this way, she must too . . . right? Wrong. According to her, the past is the past. Her life doesn't consist of second chances, just the here and now. But guess what? I'm here, and it's now. We aren't meant to be apart—that was my mistake, and I will do whatever it takes to make her mine again.
She forgets I know what makes her blush. She forgets I know how to make her laugh and how to give her immense pleasure—but I am determined to remind her.
And once I do, I will never let her go again.

I love this series and this new installment does not disappoint.
Sometimes when we're young we make decisions that we live to regret a few years down the line, this was the case with Jack Prescott. He let go of the woman he loved and now that she's back in his life, he'll do anything to show her, not only that he loves her dearly, but the future they can have. April Johnson has always know that Jack was the love of her life, but circumstances in life may prevent them for having their happy ending. I loved the way Jack showed how much he cared for April, he was tender, caring, and above all supportive and respectful of her feelings. I understood April views and I probably would've felt the same way if that was me.
I have to say Ms. Schwehm took me on a path that I never suspected, but loved it. It was different and it deals with issues that are very important for a human being. The way she presented their relationship was realistic and like life full of ups and downs. One lesson prevailed after I was done reading this book, sometimes we have to take the bull by the horns and just ride it the best way we can enjoying every single second.
Stiffed is a second chance story and has everything that a lover of contemporary romance looks for, a swoony hero who is successful and know what he wants and a heroine who is strong and secure of herself without losing who she is. Highly recommended!
Striding up to her, I placed my hand on the door. With her back up against the six-paneled wood, she attempted to look away. Using my index finger, I put it on her chin, urging her to look at me. What I needed to say needed to be done while we were face-to-face. I brought my body closer to hers—so close that my scruff brushed up against her soft cheek. The freckles adorning the bridge of her nose came into view, and my entire body came alive at the mere grazing of our skin.
"You want me to forget everything?" She nodded slowly. "Do you mean to tell me if I kissed you right now… fused our mouths together, my tongue skimming yours, you wouldn't remember how good we were together?" My body thrummed with excitement at the thought of tasting her again. "That the feelings you once had for me, that I still have for you, wouldn't come rushing back like a tidal wave?"
Pools of hazel swam with an undertone of desire. "Has any other man made your body come alive with a single touch?" I cupped her cheek, and on what I'd like to assume was instinct, she leaned into my hand. Dropping my voice an octave, I whispered in her ear, "Has anyone made you feel the same way I did when I was buried deep inside you? Did you call out their name like you did mine when you had an orgasm?"
She gasped. I pulled back, and once again locked our eyes. The pulse in her neck beat strong and fast under the pads of my fingers. "Do you think of me when you're with other men? When you're with Alan?" Her black lashes lowered, but I didn't let that dissuade me. "Look at me, April. Tell me… have you really forgotten about how good we were together? How when I'd take off my shirt, you couldn't stop your hands from roaming up and down my body? How when you'd take off yours, your breasts would swell, and your nipples would harden?" I glanced down at her chest. Her breaths were shallow—labored. I smugly grinned. "Much like they are now. Or when I pulled them into my mouth—" She sucked in a clipped lungful of air. "And you'd moan in pleasure? Believe me, I haven't forgotten any of it."
Her eyes clouded over with yearning when I licked my lips. "I'm curious… do you really want me to forget about the past? Forget how much we loved each other? For me to not remember how you trembled when I kissed you?" My lips came so close to hers I almost lost control. "To forget how when you're confused these three little lines form between your eyes?" I let my thumb graze over the tense spot to prove my point. Her tongue poked through the seam of her lips. God, how I wanted to taste her, to claim her mouth once again. "Say it, April. Tell me you don't feel the same way, and I'll leave you alone."
After a few seconds of hesitation that felt more like an hour, her voice trembled as she said, "I'm sorry."
"I didn't ask for an apology. I asked if you felt the same way. Go ahead. You can tell me. Tell me you're content."
"Jealousy doesn't look good on you, Jack."
"Jealous? You think I'm jealous of another man?" She arched a brow. I raked my hand through my hair. "The only thing I'm jealous of right now is your panties, because they get to touch what's mine."

Sky Sports pundit reveals prediction for Reading v Preston North End
Billy Mulley
It was not opening days to remember for Reading and Preston North End, with both sides eager to put things right this weekend.
The Royals were beaten by a late Sam Surridge goal, which secured a 3-2 victory for Stoke City, but they will be hoping that their return to Berkshire is more rewarding.
It was more disastrous for The Lilywhites against Hull City last Saturday. Despite going 1-0 up in just eight minutes, The Tigers scored four times to top the table.
The defeats left Reading in 19th-place, whilst Preston sunk to 23rd in the Championship table, however, 45 games still remain in this Championship season.
Sky Sports' David Prutton has predicted that this game will finish 1-1. He believes that both sides will have to continue their wait for a 2021/22 Championship victory.
Reading have been hit hard this summer. They are under a transfer embargo and they are without a whole host of regular first-teamers from last season.
However, they did not perform too badly against The Potters and were eventually edged out by a late winner. The Royals still possess a strong squad and have a more than competent manager at the helm, and should be able to do enough to secure three points.
Preston were poor against Hull, and whilst The Tigers gave a brilliant account of themselves after promotion to the Championship last time out, The Lilywhites struggled massively.
Frankie McAvoy enjoyed an excellent end to last season, but Saturday's result against Hull will have worried some Preston fans about what could happen this season.

Q: Altium Design, can't change track width I have hit 3 while tracing, I have hit shift w to open my favorites and it shows me favorites, but for some reason the program will not change the width of traces. It is stuck at 10mil. Anyone know how to fix this issue? Altium 19.1.9 and Altium 20. Tried in both same issue, tried making a new project, same issue. Don't understand what is going on. I just want to change the width of a trace in the interactive router.

A: Press TAB while routing and it'll open the properties of the trace, then you can change it there.  If your new width choice is outside your design rules it'll give you a pop up about that and then revert back to the previous width.
If the latter is happening, then you need to change your design rules for the PCB.

I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but 20 games ago I made some predictions that were…well…not good. Again, tough to predict things months away, but I'll take my medicine. The Preds game certainly seemed like a toss-up, but the Pens pretty much dominated. It could be the same story tonight, but unfortunately I picked otherwise. Pittsburgh has started yet another winning streak while the Sens have lost three straight. It certainly seems like things are trending in Pittsburgh's favor for this one, but my prediction is: Pens LOSE.


Justia › US Law › US Case Law › US Supreme Court › Volume 404 › McClanahan v. Morauer & Hartzell, Inc.
142 U.S.App.D.C. 40, 439 F.2d 550, certiorari dismissed as improvidently granted.
Under § 33(g) of the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, an employer is not obligated to pay compensation to an employee who, without the employer's written approval, settles a claim against a third person for an amount less than the compensation to which the employee is entitled under the Act. 44 Stat. 1441, as amended, 33 U.S.C. § 933(g). Certiorari was granted in this case, 402 U.S. 1008 (1971), on the assumption that it presented the question whether the consent judgment entered by the District Judge awarding petitioner damages against a third person evidenced a "compromise" subject to § 33(g), or an award of damages "determined . . . by the independent evaluation of a trial judge," not subject to § 33(g) under Banks v. Chicago Grain Trimmers Assn., 390 U. S. 459, 390 U. S. 467 (1968). Fuller examination of the case on oral argument discloses that the record does not adequately present that question. The writ of certiorari is therefore dismissed as improvidently granted.
"If compromise with such third person is made by the person entitled to compensation . . . of an amount less than the compensation to which such person . . . would be entitled . . . the employer shall be liable for compensation as determined in subdivision (f) of this section only if such compromise is made with his written approval."
share was transferred to his employer's insurance carrier as partial reimbursement for disability payments previously made under the Board's 1964 order.
On appeal, however, the lower courts were persuaded that the employer was immune from further liability because the petitioner had "compromised" his claim against a third party. The Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act provides that an employer is liable only for the excess of a worker's injury over any amount a worker may recover from a third party. Thus, an employer is benefited when an injured employee obtains a larger judgment from a third party. To protect employers from ill-advised compromises by employees § 33(g) generally relieves an employer of further liability if, without his written approval, his injured servant settles with another possible defendant. Thus, in the instant case, because the respondent had not subscribed to the consent judgment, the lower courts held that it had been spared further payments to McClanahan.
would reduce the total judgment to $19,000. Banks accepted without obtaining his employer's consent. We held that his acquiescence had not constituted a "compromise," because it had been induced by the "independent evaluation of a trial judge" and the danger of Banks' accepting too little had not been present. 390 U.S. at 390 U. S. 466, 467.
Similarly, no risk of unwise compromise faced McClanahan's employer. Pretrial conferences are the last stop before the final stage in the trial litigation process. Preceded by pleadings and discovery, the conference previews the expected trial scenario, weeds out illusory and frivolous issues, and exposes the substance of conflicting claims. Because pretrial judges review the evidence to be presented in light of the clarified issues, they are in a position to assess the outcome. Thus, one widely applauded function of the pretrial conference has been its encouragement of settlements in personal injury cases. While some dispute continues as to the degree of persuasion a judge should exercise in obtaining a settlement, critics have not complained that pretrial conference settlements have been unreasonable or unfair. See F. James, Civil Procedure 228 (1965); Wright, The Pretrial Conference, 28 F.R.D. 141, 145-147 (1960); Brennan, Introduction to the Problem of the Protracted Case, 23 F.R.D. 376, 378-379 (1958); Clark, Objectives of Pre-Trial Procedure, 17 Ohio St.L.J. 163, 167 (1956). Thus, McClanahan's trial judge below surveyed the evidence which was to be presented at trial and after discussion with both adversaries suggested that the expected value of McClanahan's case was about $5,000. That assessment was made by one experienced in understanding how juries are likely to view a claim. Absent circumstances not shown here, we should presume that such evaluations are reasonable and do not prejudice employers' interests.
In Banks -- unlike here -- the judge had seen a full jury trial's worth of evidence. But, in both situations, there were critical assessments of the expected values of plaintiffs' future prospects. In Banks, the employee might well have adduced different, stronger evidence at a second trial, or, the remittitur order may have been vacated on appeal. In settling on a suggested remittitur of $11,000 the court may have extrapolated from hindsight, but it had no more, perhaps even less, information concerning Banks' eventual success than had McClanahan's pretrial judge concerning his prospects. The important similarity between these cases is that an independent and informed forecast was made of events yet to unfold.
Moreover, we have construed § 33(g) so as to confine this defense to those situations where an employer can demonstrate actual prejudice from unilateral settlements by the employee. In Chapman v. Hoage, 296 U. S. 526 (1936), our first opinion discussing § 33(g), the employer claimed prejudice because his employee had unilaterally discontinued a lawsuit against a third party. The trial judge had made no assessment of its prospects. The worker had simply failed to prosecute his case. This Court ultimately determined that the lawsuit had been worthless and that, absent a showing of actual prejudice, the employer was not entitled to a windfall "compromise" defense as a result of its dismissal.
The trend in other jurisdictions has been to avoid the harshness resulting from strict applications of statutes requiring consent of employers in third-party settlements. Under the analogous provision of the New York employees' compensation statute, after which the federal Act was modeled, [Footnote 1] circumstances similar to the instant facts have been held nonprejudicial to employers.
"Prior to trial of the action, the attorneys concerned had two or three discussions as to settlement. On the day the case was reached for trial, claimant's attorney told him he believed the case would be settled, and later asked him to approve a settlement figure of $10,000, which he did. In the presence of his attorney and an insurance company representative, claimant signed a paper, but, so far as appears, no effort was made to subpoena such paper on the hearing herein. When the case was reached, both attorneys appeared and waived a jury. Claimant testified as to all the facts relevant to liability and damages and exhibits were received. Defendant's attorney did not cross-examine, and put in no proof. The trial court then found defendant negligent and the plaintiff free from negligence, and directed judgment for $10,250. We cannot say, as a matter of law, upon the record before us, that this result did not represent the trial court's considered judgment and evaluation, based on the evidence, which appears to have been adequate to enable him to reach a fair determination. In a case where the facts were somewhat more favorable to the compensation insurance carrier than here, we held that the judgment represented the 'trial court's evaluation of the damages sustained, and was not the result of any settlement or compromise.' (Matter of Klump v. Erie County Highway Department, 275 App.Div. 1017, motion for leave to appeal denied, 300 N.Y. 761.) [Footnote 2] "
We should not depart from our holding in Banks. Where a plaintiff cannot rely on the judgment and experience of a federal district judge, he has no choice but to refuse any disposition of the case short of a full trial and numerous appeals. In these days of crowded court dockets, the effect of the rule adopted by the Court of Appeals will be to discourage consent judgments in cases of this kind and force all such litigation through the trial process, further overwhelming already overburdened judges. Finally, there is something most inequitable in holding that a personal injury plaintiff who relies on the good faith and judgment of a federal judge should thereafter be penalized and deprived of compensation for his injury because of his reliance. I would reverse the decision below to enforce the congressional mandate contained in the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act as we did in our decision in Banks.
Banks v. Chicago Grain Trimmers Assn., Inc., 390 U. S. 459, 390 U. S. 466 (1968).
In Klump, the third party and the plaintiff employee waived a jury, the latter testified briefly, the former conceded liability, and when both agreed that damages ranged between 4,000 and $4,500, the trial judge entered a judgment for $4,300. Before the compensation board, the employer later argued unsuccessfully that this judgment had constituted a compromise. Klump v. Erie County Highway Department, 275 App.Div. 1017, 91 N.Y.S.2d 689, leave to appeal denied, 300 N.Y. 761, 90 N.E.2d 69. The opinion of the state workman's compensation board is reported at State of New York Workman's Compensation Board, Special Bulletin No. 229, p. 192 (1949).

Legrand's new global brand: Legrand Care
November 5, 2021 | by Donna Cusano
Autumn must be the season for relaunches and rebrandings. Legrand is now consolidating its global brands in assisted living and healthcare under one name, Legrand Care. This unifies their separate brands, Intervox, Tynetec (a supporter of TTA for many years as Legrand is now), Aid Call, Jontek, and Neat. All the separate brands bring their technology and history to the new brand, and the release emphasizes the corporate commitment to technology-assisted, connected care. "The coming together of five highly regarded, customer centric, long established assisted living and healthcare brands into Legrand Care is a significant milestone in our journey," stated CEO Chris Dodd in the release.
The new division will specialize in the innovative development of connected solutions for the health and social care sector, for home, group living, nursing home, and hospital markets. From the website, NOVO Go is their newest product to be introduced shortly, a mobile-connected wrist-worn or pendant form with geo-locating and reminder capabilities. Legrand has businesses in 90 countries with revenue of €6.1 billion in 2020.
In announced management alignments, Arturo Pérez Kramer is now Deputy CEO from his prior position of CEO of Neat, and Caroline Mouminoux will be Sales Director of Legrand Care and Silver Economy manager in France from Director of Intervox. More certainly to come! Hat tip to our Legrand communications manager contact, Kathryn Burton
Legrand launches care home support fund, adds to hospital staff and caregiver support initiatives
April 16, 2020 | by Donna Cusano | 1 Comment
Most stories during the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) have been about infection counts, overstressed hospital ERs/EDs, numerators/denominators, drugs, vaccines, and when can we get back to normal–if we can get back to normal. Thus some different and good news is more than welcome.
Today it comes from Legrand. During the crisis, Legrand has already provided equipment and staff support in several countries for field hospitals, long-term care facilities, and caregivers. A sample:
In the UK, the Aid Call Touchsafe Pro emergency nurse call system was installed into several Nightingale field hospitals plus other hospitals where areas had been re-purposed for new wards. Tynetec Reach IP and Touch 2 pendants were deployed as a plug and play option to support hospital discharge.
In the US, Legrand helped New York State field hospitals with a cable management solution to supply power to 2,000 beds–completed in four days. In Indiana, a production line for display screens was converted to making cloth masks which are in short supply in hospitals and for civilians.
In hard-hit Milan and Bergamo, Italy, temporary hospitals were furnished with emergency solutions (bedhead units, nurse call devices, and VDI cabling systems).
And in India, a university hospital in Kolkata was converted for treatment of coronavirus patients and equipped with the Group's uninterruptible power supplies.
Legrand's newest initiative, announced today, is the establishment of a 'solidarity fund' dedicated to care and nursing for the elderly. This fund will provide tangible support to staff who work in specialized facilities such as care and nursing homes. The fund will be administered through the Legrand Foundation, created in 2014 to combat "exclusion related to a loss of independence and electrical poverty, and promoting education and employment in the electrical sector." An example of tangible support is to finance staff hotel accommodations near their work, to decrease stress, fatigue, and also protect their families. Legrand is also inviting contributions from both businesses and individuals wishing to join this solidarity initiative. TTA is pleased to feature these initiatives from Legrand/Tynetec, a long-time supporter. Release.
'Unleashing the Digital Premium' for health in the public sector (UK)
February 26, 2020 | by Donna Cusano
On Tuesday (25 Feb), the Good Governance Institute (GGI) and Legrand Assisted Living & Healthcare unveiled at an event in the House of Lords their report, 'Unleashing the Digital Premium'. The study, which advocates digital technology to improve services, examines the challenges faced by housing, health and social care in supporting families and communities in enabling healthier independent lives.
The GGI's Jessica Lubin previewed the report (available from the Legrand website when you read this on Wednesday 26 February) in her blog. "The digital premium refers to the potential that digital technology has to deliver more cost effective, efficient and reliable services. It does this by preventing issues in the first place, by offering greater flexibility in the delivery of services, and by giving the recipients of these services more independence for longer." This is contrasted to the current state of, as she terms it, "déjà vu despondency", from rising demand from a growing aging population and pressure to 'bend the cost curve' as is often stated about healthcare costs in the US.
The report proposes that technology and digital services can aid in the delivery of care, and it is largely possible today. It examines the barriers, which are systemic, cultural or regulatory. System integration and cross-department/section/function coordination are absolutely necessary to facilitate better outcomes for these individuals and families.
This Editor will review the report when available after Wednesday. Release. (Editor's note: Legrand and Tynetec are long-time advertisers and supporters of TTA)
It's not a bubble, really! Or developing? Analysis of Rock Health's verdict on 2018's digital health funding.
January 21, 2019 | by Donna Cusano
The doors were blown off funding last quarter, so whither the year? Our first take 10 January on Rock Health's 2018 report was that digital health was a cheery, seltzery fizzy, not bubbly as in economic bubbles. Total funding came in at $8.1 billion–a full $2.3 bn or 42 percent–over 2017's $5.7 bn, as projected in Q3 [TTA 11 Oct]–which indicates confidence and movement in the right direction.
What's of concern? A continued concentration in funding–and lack of exiting.
From Q3, the full year total added $1.3 bn ($6.8 bn YTD Q3, full year $8.1 bn)
The deals continue to be bigger and fewer–368 versus 359 for 2017, barely a rounding error
Seed funding declined; A, B, C rounds grew healthily–and D+ ballooned to $59M from $28M in 2017, nearly twice as much as C rounds
Length of time between funding rounds is declining at all levels
Exits continue to be anemic, with no IPOs (none since 2016!) and only 110 acquisitions by Rock Health's count. (Rock only counts US only deals over $2 million, so this does not reflect a global picture.)
It's not a bubble. Really! Or is it a developing one? Most of the article delivers on conclusions why Rock Health and its advisors do not believe there is a bubble in funding by examining six key attributes of bubbles. Yet even on their Bubble Meter, three out of the six are rated 'Moderately Bubbly'–#2, #3, and #5–my brief comments follow.
Hype supersedes business fundamentals (well, we passed this fun cocktail party chatter point about 2013)
High cash burn rates (not out of line for early stage companies)
Unclear exit pathways (no IPOs since '16 which bring market scrutiny into play. Oddly, Best Buy's August acquisition of GreatCall, and the latter's earlier acquisitions of Lively and Healthsense didn't rate a mention)
Surge of cash from new investors (rising valuations per #5–and a more prosperous environment for investments of all types)
High valuations decoupled from fundamentals (Rock Health didn't consider Verily's billion, which was after all in January)
Fraud or misuse of funds (Theranos, Outcome dismissed by Rock as 'outliers', but no mention of Zenefits or HealthTap)
Having observed bubbles since 1980 in three industries– post-deregulation airlines in the 1980s, internet (dot.com) in the 1990s, and healthcare today (Theranos/Outcome), 'moderately' doesn't diminish–it builds to a peak, then bursts. Dot.com's bursting bubble led to a recession, hand in hand with an event called 9/11.
This Editor is most concerned with the #5 rating as it represents the largest divergence from reality and is the least fixable. While Verily has basically functioned as a 'skunk works' (or shell game–see here) for other areas of Google like Google Health, it hardly justifies a billion-dollar investment on that basis alone. $2 bn unicorn Zocdoc reportedly lives on boiler-room style sales to doctors with high churn, still has not fulfilled its long-promised international expansion, and has ceased its endless promises of transforming healthcare. Peleton is a health tech company that plumps out Rock Health's expansive view of Health Tech Reality–it's a tricked out internet connected fitness device. (One may as well include every fitness watch made.)
What is the largest divergence from reality? The longer term faltering of health tech/telecare/telehealth companies with real books of business. Two failures readily come to mind: Viterion (founded in 2003–disclosure, a former employer of this Editor) and 3rings (2015). Healthsense (2001) and Lively were bought by GreatCall for their IP, though Healthsense had a LTC business. Withings was bought back by the founder after Nokia failed to make a go of it. Canary Care was sold out of administration and reorganized. Even with larger companies, the well-publicized financial and management problems of publicly traded, highly valued, and dominant US telemed company Teladoc (since 2015 losing $239 million) and worldwide, Tunstall Healthcare's doldrums (and lack of sale by Charterhouse) feed into this.
All too many companies apparently cannot get funding or the fresh business guidance to develop. It is rare to see an RPM survivor of the early '00s like GrandCare (2005). There are other long-term companies reportedly on the verge–names which this Editor cannot mention.
The reasons why are many. Some have lurched back and forth from the abyss or have made strategic errors a/k/a bad bets. Others like 3rings fall into the 'running out of road and time' category in a constrained NHS healthcare system. Beyond the Rock Health list and the eternal optimism of new companies, business duration correlates negatively with success. Perhaps it is that healthcare technology acceptance and profitability largely rests on stony, arid ground, no matter what side of the Atlantic. All that money moves on to the next shiny object.(Babylon Health?) There are of course some exceptions like Legrand which has bought several strong UK companies such as Tynetec (a long-time TTA supporter) and Jontek.
Debate welcomed in Comments.

In-home video monitoring acceptable to 90 percent of dementia carers: Age NI study
May 23, 2017 | by Donna Cusano
What used to be the 'third rail' of caring may no longer be. The idea of cameras in the home to view activity of an older family member was so abhorrent to caregiving relatives that it was a key in selling purely sensor-based monitoring systems from the early 2000s on, such as QuietCare, GrandCare, Alarm.com Wellness, Healthsense, Lively, Tynetec/Legrand and many others. Today, in the age of selfies and video on social networks, video surveillance doesn't seem so foreign. Age NI's study conducted through Ulster University had the surprising finding that over 90 percent of participants in several focus groups supported it, with two important caveats; that there was initial consent from the older person being monitored, and that only family members could view the video. With that, they found it 'useful', 'ethical' and 'moral'. It would support the person's safety in aging at home longer, and provide peace of mind for carers. Hat tip to Toni Bunting of TASK Ltd.

Independent For Longer website debuts (UK)
March 31, 2017 | by Donna Cusano
The Independent for Longer website has been profiled on the website magazine Ucan2, which highlights mobility aids, assistive technologies, and techniques for better management of a wide variety of disabilities, including learning and autism spectrum. The website showcases real-life TECS (technology enabled care solutions) in the form of seven 'case studies' spanning ages from 20 to 79: brain injury, stroke, epilepsy, collapse, ill health, heart failure, and learning difficulties. Each leads the viewer through how a home can be enabled through the selective use of equipment to support independent living. The eighth section is about 'Billy the Dog', the Dementia Dog funded through JustGiving in memory of Tynetec's Billy and Lisa Graham. The 'Interested in Telecare' page, where the user can find a service provider, links to the 'Consumers and Carers' page of the TSA website, where the first tab is 'Find a Service'. This website is funded by Tynetec, which is part of Legrand Assisted Living and Healthcare–but is unbranded. Tynetec and Legrand are long-time supporters of this website.
UK news updates: UKTelehealthcare changes the guard, Tynetec's Dementia Dog
UKTelehealthcare, the membership association which supports health and care professionals and suppliers in delivering the widest choice and range of appropriate Technology Enabled Care Services, announced the retirement of John Chambers. Mr Chambers and Doug Miles founded the holding company of UKTelehealthcare, London Telecare Ltd., in 2005. He stepped down as a director at the end of November but will continue to be involved through his shareholding and consulting, especially in PR and marketing. Mr Miles will remain as a director and Chairman. Taking the roles of managing director and company secretary are Gerry Allmark, who joined UKTelehealthcare from Bosch Healthcare three years ago, and Julia Allmark, an IT specialist. Release (top of news page).
TTA also happily supported the Dementia Dog fundraiser in memory of Tynetec's Billy and Lisa Graham that achieved their £15,000 goal on JustGiving to train a dog to support people with dementia [TTA 5 Dec]. Up on Twitter is a 30-second snippet of a program dog trainer explaining the bonding process. According to the JustGiving listing, Independent For Longer will be following the dog's progress during training; also see #DogsforGoodUK. Both UK Telehealthcare and Tynetec (Legrand) are long-time supporters of this website.
Dream team or dance of the dinosaurs? Another view of Legrand's recent acquisition
May 9, 2016 | by Charles Lowe
The recent news of Legrand's acquisition of Jontek Ltd to join Tynetec in their Assisted Living & Healthcare Business Unit stirs many nice memories, as this editor has much to thank both Tynetec, and Jontek for.
Once Tynetec quality was a match for the other major player in the telecare market, their competition was truly appreciated in restraining the cost of delivering telecare. They were enormously helpful, particularly when this editor was working in Surrey. However at the end of the day, their systems, like the other major competitors in the market, were proprietary. Thus once a Tynetec dispersed alarm unit was installed, only Tynetec peripherals could be added.
Jontek on the other hand were able to receive alerts from all the major telecare players, so enabled mixed economies (as we had in Surrey) to be managed by the same call centre. Although "for legal reasons" there were problems with getting (more…)
Legrand adds Jontek to assisted living and healthcare businesses (UK)
May 6, 2016 | by Donna Cusano
Jontek Ltd, a Stockport-based developer and provider of monitoring software and response centers for telecare, telehealth, lone worker and mCare, is being acquired by Legrand, a specialist in digital building and electrical infrastructure. Jontek will be joining Tynetec in Legrand Electric Ltd's Assisted Living & Healthcare Business unit. Like Tynetec, Jontek is one of our Grizzled Pioneers of telecare, having started their business over 20 years ago. Currently they provide services to over 60 organizations in the UK and are a Government Procurement Supplier.
Looking at the release, Legrand sees an opportunity to complement Tynetec's current lines in at-home alarms and assisted living call systems with Jontek's Answer-link monitoring software, which is a system integrating database queries/reporting, document management, emailing and incident logging. (This Editor also sees potential for these systems to enhance Tynetec's telehealth RPM systems and Intelligent Care.) Managing Director Chris Dodd: "Historically, both Jontek and Tynetec have been committed advocates of an open protocol philosophy. This will continue to remain one of our primary considerations when developing integrated digital solutions and innovative IP care platforms of the future." Legrand release.
Two important takeaways: We continue to see consolidation of health tech businesses with an eye to enhancing and widening capabilities. Companies with established businesses are moving to make their products more accessible and user-friendly with mobility and enhanced response–BYOD and call centers. In design, they are incorporating secure data integration and reporting capabilities to make the data useful to clinicians and to prove worth, reducing the number of time-consuming steps to obtain data–or fall inevitably behind other digital health competitors. The other is 'open protocol' which this Editor interprets in this context as the ability to integrate sensors, peripherals, software and other kit which are not proprietary–in other words, to play nicely in the sandbox. Another indicator that the 'walled garden' is coming to an end. Not that it is going to be easy for those firms which have invested in a certain way of doing business–a challenge that many heretofore successful companies are facing. Ed. disclosure: Tynetec is and has been a long time supporter of TTA.
Legrand "joint venture" with Neat
February 9, 2014 | by Charles Lowe
A press release on Legrand's website and (in Spanish) on Neat's website, both just published, confirm the forming of a joint venture between the two. This of course is the Legrand that took over Tynetec last year and Intervox in 2011, making it, they claim, now the "second-largest player in the promising assisted living market."
Neat's products, distributed through Possum, have been finding favour across the UK because of their attractive prices. How, one wonders will the tie-up with Tynetec's organisation now work, and will Possum now lose this attractive distribution arrangement, particularly in the major rollout in Cornwall where Neat are preferred suppliers?
All comments, anonymous or otherwise, will be gratefully received.
Finally, just to be clear, there is no connection between Neat, the Spanish supplier of assisted living equipment and Newham's NeAT programme (which originally stood for Newham Advanced Telecare and it so happens at one time I managed).

This follows on Editor Charles' article of 24 September and the following comment by Stewart Smith. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. All signs (press announcement, website changes and reconfirmation with our contact at Tynetec) indicate that Tynetec will continue to be located in Blyth, Northumberland as a separate business unit within Legrand UK (HQ'd Birmingham) with its current line including the Advent XT Warden Call system, the Reach personal alarm system, the new Reach plus GSM system as well as the recently acquired Aid Call nurse call system as a separate brand. Legrand UK's stated aim is to enter the healthcare area to complement its existing areas in wiring devices and related areas. The parent, Legrand SA, is a French company with operations in 70 countries, marketing in 180 countries and €1.1 bn in annual sales, with an overall strategy of self-financed acquisitions of small to midsize companies of which Tynetec decidedly fits (see Bloomberg article). In the US, Legrand is best known for wireless lighting and home controls. Certainly this does provide Tynetec, after 34 years of 'grizzled pioneering' in the UK, a solid and VC-free parent in the UK–and access to worldwide markets.
Editor's note: Tynetec has been a long-time supporter through advertising on this website, and Founder Steve and all the Editors appreciate their support.
Tynetec sale?

Following our earlier post about Bosch ending sales of their Health Buddy and (temporarily?) exiting the telehealth market in the UK, comes another unattributable suggestion that Tynetec have been purchased by Legrand whose website proclaims them to be "The world's leading manufacturer of wiring devices and cable management systems."
There's some clear and fascinating synergy there which looks potentially very exciting for the world of remote monitoring…however as yet there is nothing confirmed in the media, so watch this space.


Leading fund managers are continuing to explore how Artificial Intelligence, the powerful off spring of the Big Data revolution, might transform the staid world of fixed income, especially in the institutional sphere.
Fixed income investing hasn't kept up with the rapid pace of technological advances in the rest of the financial industry. That is about to change, forecasts a new research paper from Alliance Bernstein. Machines will empower humans to unlock unique insights and act faster in a market where speed and alpha are inextricably linked.
"For many fixed-income managers, technology is stuck in the land that time forgot. Roughly 80% of US corporate bond trades, measured by notional value, are still executed over the phone. The biggest innovation in credit research until very recently? Microsoft Excel. And that was back in 1985".
For insurers, the paper argues the powerful new technology tools being built using AI will be transformative: "Artificial intelligence, automation and predictive analytics are transforming virtually every industry, but bond investing hasn't really changed. The typical investment process is inefficient, from research and portfolio construction to trading.
"In the next few years, we expect the rise of fixed-income technology to open a wide gulf in performance between those managers who have integrated cutting-edge tools into every stage of their investment processes and those who haven't".
Investing incoming premiums quickly enough to avoid dragging down portfolio returns.
Considering credit-universe restrictions (sector, issuer, rating or maturity) in real time to identify which opportunities are appropriate for individual insurers.
Optimising portfolios with new tools to effectively balance yields and credit risk, instead of simply focusing on yield alone.
The key question for CIOs is: are their managers and advisers equipped for this revolution?
We are delighted to announce the winners and highly commendeds of the Insurance Investment Exchange Awards 2018.
Underwriters, brokers and buyers will already be filling up their diaries ready for the reinsurance market's annual Rendez-Vous in Monte Carlo in September. The frantic whirl of meetings, lunches and dinners traditionally sets the tone for the crucial end-of-year renewal season.
European insurers were not happy in the middle of last year when the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) launched its first major stress tests of the continent's life insurers for two years and the first since the formal start of the Solvency II regime.


"Just seen the attendance. Just scraped 3000 home fans which is disappointing.
being at the club by a long way, the unbelievable goal and all-round he was brilliant.
Disappointed in the away support, weren't they quite to say they are up for the playoffs.
"What can the current tripe do that the up and coming kids can't?
Score – we're not scoring?
Defend – we're not defending?
Create – we're not creating?
"Absolute embarrassment the "Dickov out" boo boys! Making us look stupid. They don't speak for me.
"I think the point is that despite a defeat it sounded like a decent performance – do you call for the manager's head when the performance has been good?
"Not sure what's wrong with the tactics when we've scored 2, hit the post and had 2 cleared off the line, away from home against a side with 15-20 points more than us.
"Problems at centre half but we had a good go.
"We are a good league 1 club, i shall rephrase that.
We are a very, very good league 1 club.
I dont expect a promotion every season, but i expect to be alot more consistant and challenging every season. Under Penney we landed 10th spot on our first season with basically a league 2 side.
We finished 8th under him on our 2nd season.
It feels to me as though weve chucked seasons of hard work away and gone backwards.
I cant see it ever getting better while mr dickov is in charge.
"The best team lost tonight. Still can't believe we didn't get anything from the game. I am pretty sure we'll have a chance to put things right next season because they will not be going up.
The ref must have been paid by them surely. I've seen some bad ones before but he takes the biscuit, 100% homer. He should never be allowed to Ref a game ever again!!
"Season of Ifs, Buts and Maybes.
"We are nearer the relegation places than the play offs. 8 points from Relegation. 10 points from play offs.
"It's local pride for me now and I want to finish above our mates from Dingleville.

Designing or furnishing a home is never an easy task. In fact, it can get taxing most of the time, particularly for people who have no idea how to make a house beautiful and attractive.
Fortunately, there are a lot of ways to give your home the look you desire. You don't need to break the bank right away to get that dream aesthetics for your home. There are free and practical resources offline and online that you can use as references for your home improvement project.
That said, here's a list of top 5 doable and easy tweaks you can do to make your home look more attractive.
If you want to add details in your home but can't afford to buy expensive materials, you can create your own decors to make your home look more presentable. If you're into paintings but has no budget, you can try doing some art on your own. All you need is a big canvas and some paint to make beautiful paintings.
DIY decors can lessen expenses and it allows you to discover new things that could upgrade the look of your home.
Some people want to have that glamorous look in their home that they willingly buy expensive things. If you have the budget for it, then you should consider adding furniture to give more life to your home.
One good example is a coffee table. It gives out that elegant vibe because of its structure. It's also handy, especially if you have a lot of visitors coming to your house every day.
Natural things are always health-friendly.
If you're a nature lover by heart, then you should try putting up plants. They can give your home that natural and warm vibe.
Besides, having plants inside your home has a lot of benefits. For one, they can clean the air inside by removing toxic vapors.
Some people who live in apartments have trouble when it comes to spaces. Most apartments are designed with a limited floor area. Hence, it's challenging to store and sort your belongings, particularly the bulky ones. Adding wall shelving can be a big help.
It doesn't have to be expensive. You just need the right materials for you to make one. You can also ask local carpenters for tips.
If you have a small room and you want to make it look bigger, then you should try adding a big mirror inside your room. It's recommended that you buy floor length mirrors to incorporate a spacious, open atmosphere.
Adding dimension to the room can also be done by positioning a mirror near the window where it can catch some light. By doing it, you would be able to make your room look bigger and broader.
Thinking of getting one? You can try searching for sites such as Craigslist and other online stores.
Buying new things or just repainting your home to make it look more attractive can be a great deal of fun. But, if you want to stick to what the experts have to say and you have the budget, consult your local contractor or someone with interior design expertise.

The first appointment of its kind in the country, Robert Brownhall was selected as the first artist-in-residence by the Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) to capture the airport's 'behind-the-scenes' aspects. Currently based in Queensland, Brownhall has already spent time sketching scenes from the waiting area, occupying a seat in the area just like fellow travellers.
The flat landscapes of airports offer great views, however the landscapes themselves are quite different to what many artists are used to capturing. "There's nothing like the airport" Brownhall says. "There's so much to draw just from the waiting chairs, I'm just sitting amongst the passengers all the time."
Allowing him to play with space and distance, Brownhall uses the airport environment to experiment with shapes and shadows. "While sitting there drawing I'm using my eyes and hearing everything that is said around me — people greeting each other and their hellos and goodbyes" he said.
The length and darkness of the runways is the biggest challenge to recreate in his work, with Brownhall explaining "the tarmac is cement and it is a challenge to make cement look good, but I'm doing it." While you might be forgiven for thinking that many of these sketches feature emotionally charged farewells and reunions, there is still plenty of opportunity for playfulness.
In fact one of the more entertaining sketches is of the baggage claim area, drawn from above, and depicting the chaos of children running amok and bags tipping over. For frequent travellers, this is a scene they would know well. "I started drawing scenes without people, and I have several scenes like that, but that would be a lie as the place is crowded. The human element is big," he added.
Artist-in-residence Robert Brownhall will spend time sketching scenes at both the domestic and international terminals of Brisbane Airport over the next six months. Of his process, Brownhall explains, "I make a drawing first and then work from the drawing to bring the painting to life."
Having been drawing from a young age, Brownhall has stuck to his style. "I drew realistically then and I haven't really changed that much," he said. "I think I will end up with many, many more drawings than I need for this project so I will pin them on the wall and keep painting for years to come."
Brownhall aims to hold an exhibition of his works in partnership with the Brisbane Airport Corporation. After his six month stint as artist-in-residence has come to an end, an exhibition is planned to showcase 15 of Brownhall's airport artworks, with one piece to be selected as a permanent additional to the public art collection of the Brisbane Airport Corporation.
So if you're travelling through the Brisbane Airport anytime within the next six months – who knows, perhaps you might just feature in these artworks.
