HG Contemporary Gallery proudly presents: "The Journey Is The Destination" by Dan Eldon, September 6th - 1st October, 2018

Dan Eldon's richly layered collages and haunting photos of famine and war in Somalia have inspired individuals around the world since his death in 1993. Now, 25 years later, HG Contemporary, in collaboration with Creative Visions and Trotta-Bono Contemporary, will honor Eldon's legacy with a one-of-a-kind exhibition, presenting 19 of the artist's limited edition prints alongside a number of works from three artists who were directly influenced by Eldon's life and mission. The exhibit opens on September 6th and runs through October 1st.

Dan Eldon was born in England, but moved to Kenya at the age of seven with his British father and American mother. The African continent, as well as travels to 46 countries, provided rich content for Eldon, who captured his experiences in a collection of 17 bulging journals, packed with drawings, photographs and artifacts.

In 1991, Eldon, 22, was the first to create awareness of a famine in Somalia, and his photos helped trigger an international relief mission, Operation Restore Hope, that saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of starving Somalis. For the next year, Eldon returned to Somalia as the youngest Reuters photojournalist to document the descent of the country into a bloody civil war for global outlets including Time, Newsweek and international newspapers. On July 12th, 1993, a misguided attack on a house a warlord was said to be hiding by US Marines left more than 200 Somalis dead or wounded. Survivors rushed to the journalists' hotel to beg them to film the carnage. In the ensuing chaos, Eldon and three of his colleagues were beaten or stoned to death by an angry mob.

Soon after, his family discovered Dan's journals, which were discovered by Chronicle Books, and featured in Chronicle Books' best-selling collection, The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon (recently re-released with a foreword by Kweku Mandela). Eldon's art has inspired countless and is in many prestigious private collections, including those of Diana Rockefeller, Bruce Weber, Madonna, Julia Roberts, Christiane Amanpour, Rosie O'Donnell, among others.

Dan's extraordinary life is portrayed in the feature film The Journey is the Destination, produced by Kweku Mandela and directed by Bronwen Hughes, currently available on Netflix and all VOD platforms. HG Contemporary is excited to present the works of Dan Eldon and artists who have been inspired by his spirit. A portion of the profits will support the work of Creative Visions, a 501c3 organization inspired by Dan Eldon that nurtures creative activists who use arts and media for social impact. Full details available below.

Hurricane Harvey Anniversary Serves as Reminder to Include Pets in Disaster Preparation Plans

The one-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey fell just before September's National Disaster Preparedness Month, an awareness event that serves as a call-to-action to prepare for all types of emergencies. In light of both the Hurricane Harvey anniversary and National Disaster Preparedness Month, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA) is urging pet owners to include pets in their disaster preparation plans.

One of the key components of developing a disaster preparation plan is establishing an evacuation strategy that involves determining how to get your pets safely out of the house and off the property and finding a safe place to stay. Many disaster shelters do not accept pets, so find one that does ahead of time or secure an alternative safe haven for your pets. Consider making arrangements for boarding in case of home destruction. In addition to dogs and cats, it is crucial to plan ahead and make sure farm animals and livestock also are accounted for.

Assembling a survival kit for each of your pets is essential. Just as humans need food, water and additional items such as medication, pets will need an ample supply of these things as well. In the kits, there should be at least seven days worth of food, water and medication, photos of pets for identification, proof of health care, emergency contact information and your veterinarian's contact information. The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has species-specific guides and resources available to the public to ensure you have all possible necessities.

It's important to maintain an up-to-date contact information list with phone numbers for the veterinarian, fire department, police station, animal shelter and the nearest relative or friend who could shelter your pet. Making sure your pet is properly identified is also imperative. If your pet does happen to get lost during an evacuation or a disaster, you will have a much better chance of finding them if they are microchipped and tagged.

"Having your pet microchipped is critical," said TVMA Disaster Preparedness Committee Chair Heather Timmermans, DVM, who is head of the emergency and critical care department at MedVet Dallas. "That way if you're separated from your pet, then we can identify who the owner is and get in contact with them. Making sure that information is up to date is also very important."

About the Texas Veterinary Medical Association
Founded in 1903, the Texas Veterinary Medical Association is a professional association composed of more than 3,700 veterinarians committed to protecting public health, promoting high educational, ethical and moral standards within the veterinary profession and educating the public about animal health and its relationship to human health.

Poor Pet Oral Health Causes Rising Premiums, Says Aquarium Software

As pet insurance providers see a significant rise in claims, technology specialist Aquarium Software reaffirms the importance of insuring your pets, to avoid hefty veterinary bills. Across all pet types, mouth and oral disorders - such as abscesses; ulcers; and wounds - saw the sharpest increase in claims between 2016 and 2017, rising by 25 percent. New Direct Line analysis also revealed the average cost of vet treatment for dogs and cats has risen by four percent over the past year, with average claim rising by £29, from £728 to £757.

Big Data can have a positive influence in helping drive down long-term premiums – a trend that is currently threatened by poor pet oral health, among other pet parent education issues, according to Aquarium Software.

"This is hopefully only a short-term setback for the industry," said Aquarium Software Director, Mark Colonnese. "It's sad that pet owners and the general public would expose pets to this new risk, on top of passive smoking and over-feeding which have previously been flagged as concerns," he said.

"With claims rising for certain specific treatments such as oral disorders, technology combined with better education will make it much easier to bring premium clarity for pet parents in the future," said Mark. "Perhaps a pet 'driving licence' is something that might take on in the future. The key thing here is that consumers have more control over the price of pet insurance than they think; at the moment, poor animal stewardship by a small proportion of owners is pushing certain premiums up. Frankly, that is not the insurance industry's fault, yet we can all do more to highlight what good pet parenting looks like," added Mark. "Furthermore, smarter premium ratings will ensure that you are not penalised in the future for the bad pet parenting of others; your premium will be calculated entirely on the risk profile of you and your pet," concluded Colonnese.

Aquarium Software is used by a number of travel insurers; pet insurers; and other consumer service providers and affinity partners in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada. For further information visit http://www.aquarium-software.com

The standard includes best practices throughout all phases of a product's life cycle: design, sourcing, build, fulfillment, distribution, sustainment, and disposal, thus enhancing the integrity of COTS ICT products and the security of their global supply chains.

"Achieving this certification demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with the most secure product and service possible."

The O-TTPS was developed by consensus in The Open Group Trusted Technology Forum (OTTF) where industry members identify best practices and processes.

This program is one of the first of its kind in providing certification for conforming to standards for product integrity coupled with supply chain security.
