Das Five Boats ist ein Bürogebäude im Innenhafen von Duisburg direkt an der Buckelbrücke und dem Hitachi Power Office.
Das 2004 fertiggestellte, siebenstöckige Bürogebäude wurde vom Stardesigner Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners aus London entworfen, die Detailplanung stammt vom deutschen Architekturbüro Bahl und Partner, die Projektleitung hatte die Kölbl Kruse GmbH, die Bauausführung stammt von der Bilfinger Berger AG, die Baukosten betrugen 50 Millionen Euro. Vorgabe war möglichst vielen Büros eine Anbindung an das Wasser zu ermöglichen. Durch die ovale Form der fünf einzelnen Bootskörper und die Auffächerung nebeneinander haben fast alle Büros einen Ausblick auf den Innenhafen bzw. die Innenstadt von Duisburg. Die 35 Büroetagen sind alle identisch geschnitten und modular aufgebaut, sodass eine sehr flexible Nutzung möglich ist. In den hinteren, nur sechsgeschossigen Quertrakten sind die Technik- und Versorgungsräume untergebracht. Die gesamte Bürofläche beträgt 22.000 m². Mieter ist die Betriebskrankenkasse Novitas BKK.
Im Erdgeschoss sind Einzelhandelsgeschäfte und Gastronomie auf 1.500 m² untergebracht. Im Untergeschoss befinden sich 175 Tiefgaragenstellplätze.
Nachts erleuchten die vier hinteren Quertrakte mittels LED-Technik in unterschiedlichen Farben und strahlen die Wellaluminiumflächen der Bootskörper an. Die insgesamt 660 m² großen Beleuchtungsfläche wurde pro Verbindungstrakt in zwanzig Felder aufgeteilt, deren Farbverläufe oder Lichtstimmungen frei programmiert werden können. Das Lichtkonzept entwickelte die spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.
The Five Boats is an office building in the inner harbor of Duisburg directly at the Buckelbrücke and the Hitachi Power Office.
The seven-storey office building, completed in 2004, was designed by the star designer Sir Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners from London, the detailed planning came from the German architects Bahl und Partner, the project was managed by Kölbl Kruse GmbH, the construction work came from Bilfinger Berger AG, the construction costs amounted to 50 million Euro. The requirement was to enable as many offices as possible to be connected to the water. Due to the oval shape of the five individual hulls and the fact that they are spread out next to each other, almost all offices have a view of the inner harbor or the city center of Duisburg. The 35 office floors all have an identical layout and are modular in structure, so that they can be used very flexibly. The technical and supply rooms are housed in the rear transverse wings, which are only six stories high. The total office space is 22,000 m². The tenant is the company health insurance company Novitas BKK.
Retail shops and restaurants are located on the ground floor on 1,500 m². There are 175 underground parking spaces in the basement.
At night, the four rear transverse wings are illuminated in different colors using LED technology and illuminate the corrugated aluminum surfaces of the hull. The total of 660 m² of lighting area was divided into twenty fields per connecting tract, whose color gradients or lighting moods can be freely programmed. The lighting concept was developed by spectral Gesellschaft für Lichttechnik mbH.
View on the 2010 Achmea insurance company building located at Leiden Central railway station.
The 32,000 m2 building, designed by VVKH Architects, is a completely unique construction. The building is "hemmed in" on a longitudinal plot between the rail and road/tunnel in the vicinity of the railway station. This "raised" and "over-reaching" building was built in the form of an extremely slim column construction reminiscent of the shape of a tree, so as not to affect the road and the large number of underground pipelines that could not be disturbed.

Columbia, Missouri
The city never recovered from the Great Flood of 1997 that killed 5 people and left over 1,000 homeless. This area was designated as being in a flood plain. This designation limits insurance coverage and the possibility of getting bank loans.

The Town House is the fourth building in what we are referring to as the Franklin Life Insurance Complex that is located about one-third of a mile south of downtown Springfield. The Town House lies within Springfield's old Aristocracy Hill neighborhood, and is catty-corner from the 1964 modernist style Franklin Life building shown in my previous post.
The first three buildings we looked at in this mini-series housed the offices of the Franklin Life Insurance Company, which was founded in Springfield in 1894. In contrast, the Town House was built by Franklin Life with intent of housing its officers and employees of the company.
The Town House was spearheaded by Charles Becker, the president of the Franklin Life Insurance Company from 1939 until 1961, the period of tFranklin's greatest growth. By the time the Town House was completed in 1958, Franklin Life had become nationally known and was one of Springfield's most influential businesses.
The high-rise building is composed of an 11-story section and a 13-story section joined by a 14-story connector. Built between 1956 and 1958, the international style (closely related to modernism) building was designed by the prominent Chicago architectural firm Shaw, Metz and Dolio. As previously mentioned, the Town House was conceived as an investment by Franklin Life to provide rental housing for company officers and employees. However, before the building opened, its function changed to that of providing rental apartments to the public.
Charles Becker and his wife became the first residents of the upper penthouse. The building immediately became a prestigious address, not only for the employees of Franklin Life, but also for others who chose to rent an urban-style apartment. Its beauty and unique history remain important features of the Aristocracy Hill Neighborhood and of downtown Springfield.
The building was the first high-rise luxury apartment complex in Springfield and was likely inspired by the earlier Hickox Apartments, a 1920s complex which set standards for luxury apartments in Springfield. It attempted to bring the more urban lifestyle of large Midwestern cities to comparatively smaller Springfield, and early residents boasted of their access to downtown and reduced housework. Shortly after its construction, however, the national trend of dispersed suburban homes made its way to Springfield; as a result, the Town House was the only luxury high-rise apartment ever built in the city.
Today the Town House apartments are sold as condominiums. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Earlier this century the Franklin Life Office buildings were purchased by the State of Illinois, and now house the offices of the Illinois State Police.
Nach einem Sturz sah meine Apple Watch so aus und was erstaunlich war, trotz des zersprungen Displays ist sie immer noch gelaufen. Da sie schon fast zwei Jahre alt war und der Akku langsam schwächer wurde kam eine Reparatur nicht in Frage und somit hatte ich ein neues Fotoobjekt.

As it was full moon I stayed local again and went to this house i've been meaning to go to for a while now.
Apparently an insurance scam gone wrong, a guy burnt down his own house for the insurance and they wouldn't pay out.
Now I believe it has been sold off at auction, bought by a developer, it will be knocked down and a few new houses to be built in its place, such a shame people get greedy.
The Great Life Insurance buildings in south Denver captured one day as I drove home from work... I like the circular patterns of the buildings quite a bit...

Passengers on Virgin's 7.37am Glasgow Central - London Euston service (1M08) have seemingly little to worry about as they race south through Rugby and pass Thunderbird 57307 "Lady Penelope", parked up in the station ready to come to the aid of any failed Pendolino.
Or do they?
While the locomotive might be willing and able to help out Virgins in distress, it ain't going anywhere without a driver. Hmmmmm!

Sometimes you find a location that is just your sort of thing and the Allianz Arena in Munich was one such place for me. As the sun goes down the lights on the outside of the stadium come on – ideal for a silhouette type shot. This is a black and white version of a shot from a while back, I’m on a bit of a black and white phase at the moment!
I went to the bank for my usual transactions and met Marianne, an insurance agent—a friendly girl with an easy smile. She doubled as receptionist and was more than willing to explain insurance and other investment opportunities the bank had to offer. She has been in the bank for 6 months. She's into sports and loves to watch the sunset.
Admiral Travel Insurance – is it worth it?
In June this year my wife (60) and I (65) embarked on a three-week road trip around Bulgaria.
One week into the trip my wife fell down some steps one morning and broke her wedding ring finger.
We were in central Bulgaria, in a small town called Kazanlak for the annual rose festival that is held there every year.
We walked to the only hospital in town to find it practically closed for the festival. There was no A&E department. We found an orderly on a cigarette break and using Google Translate asked for help. She took us to the duty doctor, the only one there. He cut my wife’s wedding ring off and then called in a radiologist from home to perform an X-ray. This confirmed a spiral break in her finger so, then he called in a surgeon from home to deal with it.
At this point I called the Admiral Emergency help line and started a claim, we had no way of knowing at this point what was going to happen. The person spoke to me and then my wife and then the surgeon arrived and we ended the call. I received a follow up email almost straight away.
The surgeon said that my wife needed surgery and the bone would need to be pinned. If we stayed in Bulgaria we would have to stay in that area until the treatment was completed. He was reluctant to operate and since the break was considered minor, recommended we go home. He couldn’t operate that day as there were no staff and the operation wouldn’t take place until the following week.
So we opted to come home. He immobilized her fingers for travel and we left.
The bill for all of this was less than the £50 excess on our policy and the woman on the desk could only take cash, so we duly paid and got receipts.
This all took place on a Saturday and by Tuesday morning we were in A&E at our local hospital.
When I logged into the Admiral Claims portal there was no sign of my claim so I started a new one.
They wanted information on all our bookings, car rental vouchers, airport parking, copies of credit card bills and a medical certificate from my wife’s GP. This cost us £50 and took ten days to get.
Once uploaded to the portal the obligatory ten working days wait started.
After twelve days I gave them a call to see what was happening and I was told that my information had been sent to the wrong place – really?
I received an email later that day requesting more information, original booking confirmation for ‘all’ parts of the trip and written confirmation addressed to me from the travel provider to show that we did not travel. So, I obtained this information and uploaded it to the Admiral portal.
Then started another ten working days wait.
After ten days I received another email, this time they wanted confirmation that no refund had been received from any of my travel providers.
So I wrote to the airport parking, the car rental company in Bulgaria and Wizz Air for supporting evidence. It took a while but they all did eventually reply.
I uploaded this to the Admiral Portal although at this point the frustration almost tempted me to hit the big “Cancel this Claim” button that sits at the bottom of the portal screen, almost as if that’s what they want.
Then started another ten working days wait.
The bone in my wife’s finger had healed and she had been discharged from care before we got to this point.
Finally I receive this: -
“We have reviewed your reason to claim, along with the information provided and unfortunately, we are unable to process your claim on this occasion.
This is because as per the policy wording, we are only able to provide cover for cutting your trip short if authorised by our emergency assistance service. We can see that our emergency assistance service was not contacted, therefore we would not have authorised the early return home.
Your claim has now been reviewed by our medical team, who has advised that the policy covers for the medical treatment which you had whilst abroad. Due to the nature of the injury, the surgery could have waited until you had returned to the UK. It has also been noted that you have not provided any medical evidence to confirm the severity of the injury, and whilst you have uploaded the medical certificate that advises the reason that you returned home, it does not confirm that curtailing your trip was necessary.
If you have any documentation from your treatment abroad that confirms returning early from your trip was necessary, please upload this to the portal so that we can review.”
So I obtained all the information that they previously hadn’t asked for, X-rays, emails from their emergency assistance service and also the fact that surgery was carried out in the UK and NOT Bulgaria and logged into the Admiral Portal to upload it.
It was gone, case closed, no upload portal.
So that’s that, they have spoken.
If you’ve made it this far you have done well, but if you’re thinking of taking out Admiral travel insurance take out the basic package.
We had the Platinum package; they are all worthless but at least you’ll have saved yourself some money when they don’t honour their part of the deal.

Went down a side street I'd not been down before and found this building just round the corner from 'Love Lane'.
It's the Insurance Hall, and this building was the office of the Chartered Insurance Institute from 1933 to 2018. Now it provides rentable office space.
Quite a cool building though ...
Is there anything more ironic than an abandoned Real Estate office? El Mirage, CA. Night, full moon, 2 minutes, red-gelled strobe.

I love how Westerns always seem to be the thing that is on TV back in the 50's.
This platter goes out today for an insurance company having an open house. They wanted a variety of houses and cars, so hopefully they'll like these!
The company moved its headquarters to Thomasville in 2000. The building was constructed in 2013 and directed by company co-founder Dale R. Powell, Sr.

It is an interesting plugin and more my style than some of the others I have ... Happy Window Wednesday, Everybody!!

I suspect this was the first day of the DLR extension to Lewisham opening on 22 Nov 1999. The rail Replacement service would have been Crossharbour to Island Gardens whilst it was being built. Did they keep it going on the first day as an insurance policy?
