Guardian Life Develops New Dental Insurance Offerings - Insurance News Net

Image
New York, New York (May 10, 2022) – The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America announced the launch of new, modern dental benefits that are designed to inspire well-being, provide consumer value, and make dental care more accessible. Access to good dental benefits is increasingly critical to one's ability to feel, think, and perform their best. But with limited benefits dollars, especially at small businesses, employers understandably want to make the most of their investment and choose plans employees will desire and use. That's why Guardian conducted extensive consumer research to determine plan features and benefits that will help motivate utilization and make better oral health more attainable. Guardian dental plans are designed to help members improve their oral health and overall well-being. By listening closely to consumers, planholders, and brokers, Guardian developed new dental offerings inc...

12 ggplot extensions for snazzier R graphics - InfoWorld

Image
ggplot2 is not only the R language's most popular data visualization package, it is also an ecosystem. Numerous add-on packages give ggplot added power to do everything from more easily changing axis labels to auto-generating statistical information to customizing . . . almost anything. Here are a dozen great ggplot2 extensions you should know. Create your own geoms: ggpackets Once you've added multiple layers and tweaks to a ggplot graph, how can you save that work so it's easy to re-use? One way is to convert your code into a function. Another is to turn it into an RStudio code snippet. But the ggpackets package has a ggplot-friendlier way: Create your own custom geom! It's as painless as storing it in a variable using the ggpacket() function. The example code below creates a bar chart from Boston snowfall data, and it has several lines of customizations that I'd like to use again with other data. The first code block is the initial graph: library(ggplot2) librar...

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: Since the only clinic that performs abortions in Montgomery, Ala., shut down last month, an organization next door has been threading a legal needle to offer reproductive health care. Some patients come from hundreds of miles away. Alabama law now limits abortion to cases where the mother's health is in danger, with no exceptions for rape or incest. Troy Public Radio's Kyle Gassiott reports. KYLE GASSIOTT, BYLINE: Next door to Montgomery's shuttered clinic that provided abortions is an organization called The POWER House. It's in an old southern home with a big front porch. It seems idyllic until you see the camouflage netting strung between the pillars to hide anyone sitting on the porch in the big wicker chairs. Mia Raven is the executive director. MIA RAVEN: If you don't know my name, you know I'm probably the abortion lady. That's what people call me if they don't know my name. GASSIOTT: Raven has a tattoo on her wrist that reads, ...
