In South Florida, nesting can begin in early April and continue into November. It’s a time when we are aware of sharing the beach with sea turtles and are reminded to be especially vigilant about not leaving items on the beach at night and not disturbing nests.</description><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2020 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://nbisuncontrol.com/the-turtles-are-back-its-sea-turtle-nesting-season/</guid></item><item><title>The Cock n Bull Farmhouse Pub</title><link>https://cnbpub.com/</link><description>This website was put together quickly to allow a local pub to accept food and package orders during COVID-19 social distancing.

It is designed to prevent rock chips, small scratches, chemical staining and etching, swirl marks, water spots, oxidation and fading, and it is self-healing and long-lasting. Car protection film can be installed over the entire vehicle or in the most damage-prone areas such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, side mirrors, rocker panels, and rear wheel</description><pubDate>Sun, 23 Feb 2020 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://www.highenddetail.com/add-value-to-your-vehicle-with-paint-protection-film-and-ceramic-coating/</guid></item><item><title>Blog - Upgrade Your Community with Shade</title><link>https://apollosunguard.com/2020/01/15/upgrade-your-community-with-shade/</link><description>Enjoyable outdoor spaces are an essential part of a well-planned community.

But sitting in the glaring sun for hours can keep even the most dedicated spectators away. During the summer months, athletic facilities can be brutally hot. From metal bleachers and stands to hardtop basketball and tennis courts to treeless golf greens, sports complexes need well-planned and structured shade. Apollo Sunguard offers a variety of sunshades that can protect athletes and sports fans from heat-related illnesses, make attending outdoor events more pleasant, and reduce sun damage to sport facilities and equipment.</description><pubDate>Wed, 11 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://apollosunguard.com/2019/12/11/high-performance-shading-for-sports-facilities/</guid></item><item><title>CEO Letter - Leading the Way</title><link>https://annualreport.fcci-group.com/leading-the-way</link><description>As we closed out FCCI’s 59th year in business, I’m pleased to say that the fundamentals of our operation are as strong — or stronger — than they have ever been. We worked with our agent partners to meet their needs and the needs of our policyholders, while improving our balance sheet strength and the overall quality of our book of business. The result is that FCCI remains strong and stable. Our policyholders know they can count on us when losses happen, and our agents know they can trust us with their business. In 2018, that trust resulted in the highest direct written premium in FCCI’s history. We wrote $837.5 million, an increase of nearly $16 million over the previous year. Our GAAP equity and statutory surplus totaled $740.9 million and $598.5 million, respectively. Our investment portfolio remained steady at $1.8 billion despite the turbulent market, and our total assets were $2.4 billion. We earned a profit of $31.6 million and achieved a combined ratio in line with plan at 102.5%.</description><pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://annualreport.fcci-group.com/leading-the-way</guid></item><item><title>Article - When is a Website More than a Website?</title><link>https://annualreport.fcci-group.com/when-is-a-website-more-than-a-website</link><description>With a modern, intuitive design and fresh look, the website provides deeper content and key coverage and industry information, and it is delivered on a responsive platform that helps users find the right path and connect with FCCI’s brand value.

For 2017, it was an easy choice. In February, we kicked off an All-Teammate Meeting with the theme, All In. It fit the FCCI culture and way of doing business so well, it became more than a rallying cry for just that meeting. It became the defining theme of 2017. FCCI teammates are All In when it comes to doing their best for our customers. They are All In when it comes to supporting each other and our company. And they are All In for our communities. This total commitment led to numerous accomplishments over the course of the year. Most importantly, we kept our promises by servicing policies with the utmost dedication, paying claims promptly and fairly, and continuing to manage our business prudently to ensure our financial strength remains solid for the long term.</description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://annualreport.fcci-group.com/message</guid></item><item><title>Digital Format - FCCI 2017 Annual Report</title><link>https://annualreport.fcci-group.com/2017</link><description>All In</description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://annualreport.fcci-group.com/2017</guid></item><item><title>Video - Welcome to FCCI video</title><link>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cJSZTXTP-U</link><description>I scripted this video to be used as an overall introduction to the company for potential policyholders, agents and employees.
