When it comes to starting or running a business, the devil is often in the details -- finding the right permits, filing quarterly taxes on time, creating a logo that builds your brand, or using ads to attract the kinds of customers you're trying to reach.
These details can be confounding for any entrepreneur, let alone first-timers. And there are currently over half a million new businesses being created in the U.S. each month, according to the recently released Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity. It's no surprise, then, that a growing number of startups are trying to simplify the complex process of building a business in a way that's both compliant and cohesive.
Launched in 2007, Docstoc is home to millions of documents for small businesses. While its mission may sound decidedly unsexy in comparison to Pinterest, it's a business owner's virtual candy store. You can download documents and templates to your heart's content: a rental agreement template for that first office lease; an employee handbook for when it's time to hire; or even a terms-of-use agreement for your shiny new website.
There are a variety of free resources on the site -- including some basic documents and how-to articles and videos -- and you can even share and trade documents with other people in your industry through the Docstoc community. But the good stuff comes with a price, naturally. You can buy documents and templates a la carte or in packages according to your needs, or you can pay for a membership (starting at $9.95 a month) that gets you broader access and support.
License123 is actually a part of Docstoc -- but it solves such a big business problem that it seems worth mentioning on its own. This new service, which won the Best Business Model award at the 2012 Launch conference, helps business owners find the licenses and permits they need according to location, industry and business type. The goal is to help growing businesses avoid the costly, potentially devastating fines and penalties that can come from noncompliance with the latest regulations.
So you want to start an ice cream shop in San Francisco? You're going to need five local and two state licenses for that. Your report from License123 includes the applications you need, as well as the estimated fees, filing location and instructions. Because License123 is still in beta, small-business owners can get a personalized report of all the paperwork they need to file (along with a detailed explanation) for $9.95 -- a price that isn't likely to last forever.
The crowd is hotter than ever in the business world, and crowdSPRING has helped lead the charge. Launched in 2007, this business uses crowdsourcing (outsourcing tasks to a large group of people) to offer companies creative services at an affordable price. Need a logo for your new consulting company but can only pay $1,000? Pay crowdSPRING a fee starting at $269 to get access to its marketplace of designers. Then, name your price and delivery date, and you'll get to choose from a pool of actual logos submitted by designers from around the world.
The benefits for you as the business owner are that you get to see actual work rather than bids or proposals, you don't have to spend like a big business to get professional creative services, and there's a money-back guarantee if you're unhappy with the results. It can also be a way for aspiring designers to attract high-profile clients -- "Fight Club" author Chuck Palahniuk got over 400 entries for a poster promoting his latest book.
When it comes to advertising on the Web, you've probably heard that your best bet is to think local -- after all, more than 80 percent of us do some online research before buying locally. Signpost offers two primary services to help small businesses connect with local customers through the Web: (1) a platform that lets you access over 1,200 online advertising partners, like Google and AOL; and (2) a service that helps small businesses create content and special offers that get syndicated to local online publications.
The local problem can be a tough nut for business owners to crack on their own, largely because it takes up a great deal of time. And creating local deals that don't overwhelm your business can be a delicate science. That's why Signpost is banking on business owners paying $99 a month to get measurable results and the kinds of customers who are likely to come back.

Q: Convert images to PDF—in many folders, and save output PDFs to relative folders I have more than 30,000 individual .jpg files (scanned historical documents) in about 200 directories (and subdirectories), 24G in total. Each subdirectory holds between 40 and 400 .jpg-files (meaning pages of a larger document). I'd like to use imagemagick with:
convert *.jpg <name-of-subdirectory>.pdf

to cycle through each subdirectory, in order to create about 200 different PDF files (each between 40 and 400 pages) automatically. The name of the output PDF should be the name of the subdirectory that contains the input JPGs.
Any advice?

Dentures and partial dentures are removable prosthetic devices that can replace a single tooth, numerous teeth, or all of the teeth in your mouth. A denture or partial denture is generally a more economical solution for missing teeth than implants, crowns and bridges. A full or complete denture refers to a denture that is designed to replace all the top teeth, or all of the bottom teeth in a patient who no longer has teeth. Traditionally, complete dentures relied on natural suction or the use of denture adhesive pastes to keep them secure while eating or speaking. Nowadays this design can often be supplemented with a couple of strategically-placed implants to provide superior retention. A partial denture is a removable appliance that is worn by someone missing one or many teeth, but who still has some healthy, sturdy teeth in their mouth. A partial denture fills in the spaces with artificial denture teeth, and has clasps that secure the partial denture to the strong teeth for support and stability while speaking or chewing. Both full dentures and partial dentures are intended for wear during the day, but should be removed at night for cleaning and to allow the natural tissues of the mouth to refresh.
IS A DENTURE RIGHT FOR ME?
A denture relies on a combination of sufficient bone structure under the gums, and a well-shaped upper palate and lower "ridge". If you have been a denture wearer for many years without problems and you are ready to replace an older, worn denture, then you are an ideal candidate for a new denture. If you have worn an upper partial denture but now need to have your remaining upper teeth extracted, you will likely have an easy time adapting to the new upper full denture. However, it is usually not as simple when it comes to full lower dentures. If you have worn a lower partial denture in the past but now need to have your remaining lower teeth extracted, it may be difficult to adapt to the loss of stable supporting teeth to keep the new full denture in place. There is a simple reason for this difference: Without teeth, most people's "upper mouth" has a well-shaped palate with lots of surface area for a denture to cover. The high arch of the palate also allows an upper denture to form suction with the roof of the mouth to provide for a strong, natural bond. However, without any lower teeth, the lower ridge is only a narrow "horseshoe-shaped" structure, and in place of a palate there is a tongue, which is a large, strong muscle that moves all around during speaking and eating. The tongue, especially when combined with a lower ridge that is often flattened and small, creates an environment that works against keeping a full lower denture securely in place. Denture adhesive pastes can help, but two strategically-placed implants in the lower ridge upon which the lower denture can snap into place can completely eliminate the instability inherent in lower dentures.
For most patients who may be missing some upper and/or lower teeth but have other healthy, strong teeth in their mouths, a partial denture can fill in spaces, contribute to improved chewing, and improve appearance. Unlike with implants or bridges, there is no need for anesthesia, surgery, drilling of teeth, or long appointments. Partial dentures can be made from flexible plastic frameworks, or cast-metal substructures, and the choice of materials often depends upon the number of missing teeth and the specific design of the appliance. Many patients wear partial dentures for decades, while other patients wear them for a short period of time, until they can take on more extensive permanent tooth replacement.
First, detailed impressions of your mouth will be taken and sent to our denture laboratory. Your dentist will make notes about the type of denture teeth that will best suit your individual needs, and will consult with you on tooth color.
At the second visit, the lab will have designed a temporary denture base (for a full denture), or a framework (for a partial denture). Your dentist will try this in and make specific measurements in wax that will help the lab to know things such as: how your upper and lower teeth come together when you bite, how much your front teeth will show when you are smiling and speaking, and how much volume is needed to keep your lips and cheeks from looking "sunken-in" or hollow. This work is then returned to the lab.
The third visit will be for a try-in. The lab will have placed the new denture teeth into the full or partial denture, but the artificial "gums" will still be made of wax. This gives both you and your dentist the opportunity to see exactly how the dentures will look in your mouth, and allows for corrections to be made before final processing. At this visit, if it is agreed that the try-in is perfect, it is sent back to the laboratory for final processing. If corrections are required there may be additional try-in appointments until the denture looks just right.
At the final visit, your dentist will insert the denture and make any necessary adjustments. Getting used to a new full or partial denture takes about two weeks for most patients, and many will need to return for some minor adjustments during this time.

The premiere of the highly anticipated miniseries I Am the Night is very much a prologue to what the meat of this show's narrative will be, spending a long time introducing us to its individual characters before finally getting them all at least close to the same storyline in the closing scenes. Our two leads have a connection to a mysterious figure named Dr. George Hodel, but it's not yet clear how their arcs will intertwine or what any of this will have to do with one of the most infamous murders of all time, Elizabeth Short, a.k.a. the Black Dahlia — well, unless you're familiar with the true story, theories about Dr. Hodel, or the truly bizarre story of Fauna Hodel. For now, the show and its director, Patty Jenkins, are content to set the table. We'll see what they serve next week.
I Am the Night introduces us to its two major protagonists in distinct arcs, so let's split them up for recapping purposes.
India Eisley plays a young lady who is introduced us Pat, but who soon learns that her real name is Fauna Hodel. The series is based on Hodel's memoir, One Day She'll Darken: The Mysterious Beginnings of Fauna Hodel, and the title of that true-crime biography refers to the fact that Hodel grew up believing she was a mixed-race child.
She's introduced in Reno, late for school and telling her mother that she just wants to be normal like everybody else. It's 1965, and Pat goes to a deeply segregated school, and she's lost in between the racial groups, shunned by both white and black kids for being mixed-race, although the local police officers who are startled to see her walking with a black suitor are surprised to learn she's not white. The title of Hodel's memoir is spit back at Pat/Fauna by her mother later in the episode, and it's clear that this young lady never felt white or black, confused by her own racial identity.
A horrendous fight with her mother — which is really allowed to breathe and play out in a more harrowing, sad register than it would be by a lesser director — leaves Pat wanting to know more about her background. Late that night, after her drunk mother has passed out, she finds her birth certificate, dated 1949 (which is a bit different from the real story, as the author was born in 1951, but Eisley can more believably sell 16 than 14). She learns that her mother's name was Tamar Hodel, and that she was born in San Francisco, and she was named Fauna Hodel. She confronts her adopted mother the next morning. Mom isn't happy.
While mom is devising the craziest "prank" ever, Fauna gets a hold of George Hodel via phone, who tells her to come to Los Angeles. Shortly thereafter, the Mother Superior rushes to Fauna and tells her that her mother has been called to God. Fauna rushes home to find out that mom is still alive, and the teenager understandably starts packing her things. She fights with mom and leaves, correctly noting that mom is vicious and crazy. As she boards a bus to L.A., a mysterious figure that has been following her trails behind.
At the Inspection and Adjusting Station, Fauna sits and chats with a man who sounds a little familiar from the George Hodel phone call just a few scenes earlier, but Fauna fails to recognize him. Why did George meet Fauna at the bus stop? And then why did he fail to pick her up in L.A.? Fauna calls another Hodel named Karina, who warns her, "Your grandfather is a very, very dangerous man. Stay away. Stay away from him." Anyone who knows the true story of George Hodel, and the theory that he was a serial killer, knows this warning is tragically true.
Played by the great Chris Pine, Jay is a down-on-his-luck L.A. reporter, reduced to snapping pictures of starlets on balconies and breaking into morgues to get stories. Jay's arc isn't nearly as plot-heavy as Fauna's, but we do learn a great deal about the co-lead of this show in just a few scenes. He used to be a big deal, but a major story, his service in Korea, and a string of bad luck have brought him down. It probably doesn't help that he likes a bump of cocaine a bit too often. Pine deftly portrays Singletary as a classic noir character — the kind of guy who's one bad beat away from suicide when his life changes abruptly.
Before that change comes, Jay's conscience almost forces him to lose out on a big paycheck, although he needs a real story to give his life meaning. He comes right out and says, "Get me something, Peter, or I'm going to kill myself." Which is not just tough-guy noir talk, as the episode ends with Jay throwing a belt over a support and preparing to end it when he gets a call. It's telling that Peter, his old friend who tries to throw him a story, says of him, "Some stories don't want to be told. Some stories will eat you alive." It feels like the story that ate Jay Singletary alive isn't done chewing.
After taking a brutal beating by a cop who really doesn't like him, and just as he's about to shuffle off this mortal coil, Jay gets a call from Fauna's adoptive mother. She's calling about a story that Jay wrote in 1949. She says, "You were right about him. You got to keep looking." Of course, we know from the birth certificate that Fauna was born in 1949. What was Jay right about? It looks like the story of his life has another chapter for him to write, and it's going to include Fauna Hodel.
• Quick bit of interesting trivia: India Eisley is Olivia Hussey's daughter. Hussey is the Golden Globe–winning star of Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet and also starred in Black Christmas and Death on the Nile.
• TNT has really upped its game in terms of budget and production design. One of the first notes I took was, "How would this be different on HBO or FX?" And that's still a question worth asking when the show gets more violent in upcoming episodes, but the production value is nearly indistinguishable. Again, it helps to have a truly talented director like Patty Jenkins in the chair. She brings a tighter flow to this premiere than most directors would, and clearly works well with actors, especially her Wonder Woman leading man.
• My biggest concern is how patient viewers will be with I Am the Night. I know enough about the Black Dahlia and George Hodel stories to have an added layer of interest, but worry that not enough happens in this pilot to really "hook" viewers. Then again, the TV landscape is changing, and people have more patience with drawn-out stories like Sharp Objects and Big Little Lies than they did even a few years ago. Let's hope the same is true for I Am the Night.


I recently learned about Tropicana Probiotic Juice, a new juice product making its way into grocery stores everywhere.
I'm a big believer in probiotics and with good reason! Probiotics populate your gut with beneficial bacteria. I believe probiotics were and still are essential in helping me heal my body from the ravages of celiac disease.
But, unfortunately, Tropicana Probiotic Juice is NO GOOD FOR YOUR GUT. Seriously, not good. The idea that putting a few probiotics in a beverage overflowing with sugar is beyond comprehension. It's what I call health-washing.
In fact, Tropicana Probiotic Juice is loaded with sugar and is terrible for your gut health – quite the opposite of what it was created to do.
Each 8 oz serving contains a whooping 28 grams of sugar to be exact. Twenty eight grams of sugar! Let that soak in for a minute.
Guess what sugar does to your body? Sugar assaults your gut because it feeds the bad bacteria and allows the bad bacteria to grow and proliferate. Any efforts to repopulate your gut with good bacteria by drinking Tropicana Probiotic Juice is completely null and void when such a beverage is mainly stuffed with sugar.
While it is true that there is no added cane sugar in Tropicana Probiotic Juice, there is plenty of fruit sugar. Unfortunately for you, fruit sugar responds identically to white sugar in your body. At least when you consume whole fruit, you also consume the digestion-slowing fiber that helps the sugar enter your bloodstream more slowly. Plus, nutrients from the fruit will help to replenish your body's nutrient bank vs. deplete it.
Studies have shown that a diet high in sugar can cause changes in your gut bacteria. In fact, one study says that sugars (both fructose and glucose) deter good bacteria from proliferating in your gut – which is bad news if you're looking to create a healthy microbiome!
On top of it all, Tropicana probiotic juice only contains one billion CFUs (colony forming units) of probiotics. This might sound like a lot, but it's not.
I take a probiotic capsule with 50 billion CFUs. A lot of the probiotic bacteria cannot survive the digestive process. Some experts says some strains of probiotics may survive stomach acid if encased in dairy or if they are enteric-coated (this is a polymer barrier that can withstand potent stomach acid). In the case of Tropicana Probiotic Juice, one billion CFUs per serving does not add sufficient beneficial bacteria to your gut. You'd have to drink a lot of this sugary drink to get a therapeutic dose of probiotics.
How Does the Sugar in Tropicana Probiotic Juice Compare to Sugar in Pepsi?
When you compare the sugar content in Tropicana Probiotic Juice to other sugary beverages, you'll be shocked to your core!
Eight ounces of Pepsi contains about 28 grams of sugar – this is EQUAL to the amount of sugar in Tropicana Probiotic Juice. Yep, Tropicana Probiotic Juice contains JUST AS MUCH SUGAR AS AN 8 OUNCE CAN OF PEPSI!!
There is no way that Tropicana Probiotic Juice can "out-compete" (Tropicana's words, not mine) the bad bacteria in your gut when the drink is feeding the bad bacteria 28 grams of sugar?!? This is mind boggling to me!
But I Thought Probiotics Were Good For Me?
However, please don't get your probiotics from sugary drinks like Tropicana Probiotic Juice, GoodBelly probiotic drinks, or Yoplait and other sugary yogurts (on average these yogurts contain 18 grams of sugar or more and contain only a very small amount of probiotics!).
Instead, get your probiotics from a capsule found at your local natural grocery store (and grow those good bacteria by eating plenty of healthy foods).
Look for a high quality brand with multiple strains of beneficial bacteria – lactobacillus and bifidobacterium are the two most common and essential.
If you suffer from inflammation, autoimmune or any chronic condition, choose a probiotic with 50 billion CFUs (colony forming units) or higher. If you're doing it to maintain health, choose 25-50 billion CFUs.
Switch brands often to introduce new beneficial bacteria into your gut. Buy what's on sale.
Purchase probiotics as you need them (vs. stocking up) to ensure the probiotics are alive (they can die off over time) and therefore give you maximum benefits.
Take probiotics on an empty stomach because your stomach acid won't be churing to digest food and you will have a better chance of bacteria survivability.
I hope that you've learned a valuable health lesson today and didn't fall for the health-washing of an unhealthy juice product nor did you fall for the marketing gimmicks of PepsiCo (Pepsi owns Tropicana). Remember, don't get your probiotics from a sugar-loaded beverages or foods; there are better and healthier ways to achieve good gut health.
One other thing to keep in mind… while Tropicana Probiotic Juice is gluten-free – it's far far far from good for you (at least in my opinion).
Hi Phyllis – I can see for some reason you are offended so you took a personal shot at me. Maybe you're having a bad day, but I do want to set the record straight. Sugary beverages are not helping anyone improve their health. This beverages contains only one billion CFUs of beneficial bacteria per serving, a pathetic dosage, along with 28 grams of sugar. I personally take 50 billion CFUs probiotic supplement to maintain good health without any sugar on the side. Fructose (sugar from fruit) reacts the same as table sugar in your body. If you ate a piece of fruit, however, you'd get the digestive slowing fiber as well as all the nutrients that that replenish vs. deplete your nutrient bank. Also, highly recommend you read Gary Taube's article in the NYT – "Big Sugar's Secret Ally: Nutritionists" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/13/opinion/sunday/big-sugars-secret-ally-nutritionists.html I am not a nutritionist, however I am certified in integrative nutrition. Be well, that is all I wish for you and any of my readers. But I just want to make sure that everyone is aware that natural sugar and fruit sugar react the same in your body.
Fruit sugar acts identical to table sugar in the body. At least if you ate a piece of fruit, you'd get digestion slowing fiber, as well as all the nutrients packed in the fruit. In the case of this fruit juice, you don't get any of that. Plus, one sugary serving only contains one billion bacteria. Most high quality probiotics contains 20-90 billion CFUs bacteria.
You are not in the medical field or even a nutritionist honey. I didn't say your article was about weight loss. My abdomen has gone done since I have been drinking it. Which is where my gut is located. Natural sugar is in the juice not added sugar.
There is no added sugar. Fruit has natural sugar. So her article is not true.
The article is about gut health not weight management. I prefer to eat my calories (not drink them) and avoid sugary drinks. Everyone is different so maybe it works for you.
Sorry but I don't believe you. I have been drinking it and I am losing weight.

This phase Ib/II trial combined the pan-deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat with chemotherapy followed by panobinostat maintenance in elderly patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia. Patients with prior history of myelodisplastic syndrome were excluded.
Thirty-eight evaluable patients (median age, 71 years; range, 65-83) received an induction with idarubicin (8 mg/m2 iv days 1-3) plus cytarabine (100 mg/m2 iv days 1-7) plus panobinostat po at escalating doses (days 8, 10, 12, 15, 17 and 19), that could be repeated in non-responding patients. Patients achieving complete remission received a consolidation cycle with the same schema, followed by panobinostat maintenance (40 mg po 3 days/week) every other week until progression.
Thirty-one patients were treated at the maximum tolerated dose of panobinostat in the combination (10 mg) with good tolerability. The complete remission rate was 64% with a time to relapse of 17.0 months (12.8-21.1). The median overall survival for the whole series was 17 months (5.5-28.4). Moreover, in 4 out of 5 patients with persistent minimal residual disease before maintenance, panobinostat monotherapy reduced its levels, with complete negativization in two of them. Maintenance phase was well tolerated being the most frequent adverse events thrombocytopenia (25% grades 3/4), and gastrointestinal toxicity, asthenia and anorexia mainly grades 1/2. Five patients required dose reduction during this phase, but only one discontinued due to toxicity.
These results suggest that panobinostat is one of the first novel agents with activity in elderly acute myeloid leukemia patients, and warrants its investigation particularly in the context of maintenance therapy. The trial was registered in www.clinicaltrials.gov with number NCT00840346.

VCE exams – good luck everybody
Posted on Wed 30 October 2013 Wed 30 October 2013 AuthorDaniel8 Comments
I was 25 when I first had kids. One outcome of this is that my eldest son's education is running 25 years after mine.
The dates don't match up completely — the main event, the English exam, for me was on 7th November 1988. For this year's VCE, it's today.
Good luck Isaac, and all of the other 43,000 students sitting the VCE English exam today.
(Though if any of you are reading this before the exam, I'd question your priorities!)

I'm so glad that all my kids are past that stage now.
Somehow, though, I'm not sure we're doing the right thing by our kids. 2 years of VCE and none it prepares them for life an Uni, if that's where they go afterwards.
Yes, good luck to Issac and the other 43,000.
Not sure I agree with PaulK.
For example, if you are studying 1st year science at uni, then a good grounding in maths at VCE is essential (and in fact compulsory in most cases).

Only four subjects? I did the same subjects, and added in Physics. Anderson scores encouraged that, because they were calculated as your three highest subjects, plus English, plus 10% of each of your remaining scores – so if you wanted insurance you'd take the fifth subject on the assumption that if one subject totally tanked, you'd be covered. Of course, the extra load of a fifth subject could bring down all your results, so… ummm… anyway, I did five.
Thu 31 October 2013 at 12:58 pm
@Josh, I started the year doing Maths B, and totally tanked midyear – managed to convince the powers that be I should drop it.
Mike Smith says:
Fri 1 November 2013 at 10:28 am
English was compulsory, otherwise I would have done just STEM subjects.
Sat 2 November 2013 at 11:39 am
@Daniel I failed English half-year. That was my wake-up call; as Mike says, that subject was compulsory, so my carefully constructed insurance policy was for naught. Me fail English? That's unpossible!
I would have done Maths B, but apparently you can't do it without Maths A, where I had a weaker year 11 score. So I dropped my stronger maths subject so I could continue with my weaker one. [shakes head]

Exploring the Genealogy of Philippe Delano (de Lanoy), circa 1602-1682
T-Shirt (400 Years for Delanos, 30 Years for DK)
T-Shirt (Minnesota)
...to the DELANO KINDRED Web Site!
The DELANO KINDRED was founded in 1991 for the purpose of exploring the ancestry and genealogy of our common ancestor, Philippe de Lanoy. Philippe was born to Jan and Marie de Lanoy around 1602 in Leiden, Holland, and was baptized there on the 6th of November, 1603. In 1621, Philippe arrived in Plimoth (now Plymouth, Massachusetts) on the ship Fortune and some time later changed his name to Philip Delano. He is the progenitor of the Delano family in America.

OUR DELANO and COOKE ANCESTORS:
The INTREPID de LANNOYS and MAHIEUS from FLANDERS
(The extraordinary story of these unique MAYFLOWER and FORTUNE Pilgrims)
A Presentation and Conversation with Author George Philip English
followed by a Brief Discussion of the 2023 Delano Kindred European History Tour
Hosted by Delano Kindred Board Member Col. William English, CBE
About this presentation: The European Ancestry and History of Francis Cooke and Philip Delano/Philippe de Lannoy is, possibly, the most unique among the first Pilgrims on the Mayflower and Fortune to New England. The de Lannoys and Mahieus came from French-speaking Flanders. Their extraordinary and fascinating story was very different to that of the English Pilgrims. Persecuted by their Spanish Catholic rulers for their religious beliefs, they fled to Canterbury in England. Later, they went to Leiden, Holland, nearly 20 years before the English Separatists arrived.
Join our host, fellow descendant and Delano Kindred Board member Col. William English, CBE, as genealogist, historian and de Lannoy/Mahieu descendant George English presents the fascinating, evidence-based family history in his book The Delano and Cooke Ancestors, with the family members, historical and social information, pictures and maps to bring them to life. The Delano and Cooke Ancestors is available for purchase on the Delano Kindred website.
Following this presentation there was a brief discussion and Q&A about the Delano Kindred European History Tour which starts on September 19, 2023 in Amsterdam, continues for 10 days, and concludes in London.
THIS DELANO ANCESTRY AND HISTORY IS SHARED BY 5 US PRESIDENTS, WINSTON CHURCHILL AND A MILLION DESCENDANTS.

In the days leading up to the Hurricane Irma's landfall, less than a week after Hurricane Harvey devastated Houston, citizens of Florida scrambled to either evacuate or prepare to wait out the storm in their homes. Florida Governor Rick Scott urged citizens to, "Leave now, don't wait", noting that "This thing is bigger than our entire state". For many, memories of Hurricane Andrew loomed in the back of their minds – the 1992 storm destroyed more than 63,500 houses, caused $26.5 billion in damage, and left 65 people dead.
In order to prevent similar loss of life from occurring, many groups, including our Florida alumni clubs, amassed their resources and began to prepare for what was predicted to be one of the biggest threats Florida had faced in the past decade. Our alumni clubs often serve as extended family for many living around the country. As witnessed in Houston, in times of trial, we lean on each other. Club leaders in the southeast United States quickly mobilized to best support their alumni in appeared to be harm's way.
On social media, many alumni clubs encouraged their members to stay safe and made it known that if anyone was in need of assistance, they could feel free to reach out via email or Facebook; others also posted links to phone numbers or websites that were offering aid. Club volunteers coordinated with those board members who had successfully evacuated and had power to monitor their email and social media accounts in order to ensure that they were attentive to the needs of alumni.
After the storm passed, alumni clubs continued to post links to locations of shelters, supplies, etc. Some members were even kind enough to offer their homes to fellow Spartans who had been left without a place to stay. Clubs worked to organize volunteers and refer them to established charities that were providing aid. They utilized social media and their game watches to collect goods for those affected by the hurricane, and are continuing to do so.
What primarily stands out in the wake of this powerful storm is the resilience and unity shown by the Michigan State University alumni community. The mobilization of dozens of volunteers during a time of great stress and emotion to help others embodies what it truly means to be a Spartan and the strength of the alumni community. Spartans lift each other up and do everything possible to ensure the security of their fellow alumni. Spartans act with selflessness and generosity to help others. Who will rebuild in the wake of Hurricane Irma? Spartans Will.

Be a lifelong learner! Lifelong learning is about creating. developing and maintaining a positive attitude to learning both for personal and professional development.
It's a rewarding experience and it gives you countless privileges and options.If you are a self-learner the best thing you can do is put the learning into action in a practical way.
One of the most important skill to a self learner is to be comfortable with the uncertainty of not knowing how to solve a problem, then going out and finding the answer on your own by building or doing whatever you are trying to achieve.
Does these resonate with you?
I have a fairly simple objective: I want to go to bed each night smarter than when I woke up. I also want to live a meaningful life and become a better person.
I'm not smart enough to figure out everything myself, so I try to master the best of what other people have already figured out. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
The best way to do this is to read a lot. And so I make friends with the eminent dead. Along the way I write about what I'm learning. I'd encourage you to look around and decide for yourself if this is something that interests you.
There are multiple sites that provides online course on various courses but there are few sites that gives courses that cover the topics in details. There are certain that provides courses that could be self-taught.
The best thing about these sites is that they also provide online technical and non-technical support where necessary during and after the course. They also provide certificate on completion of the course.
Youtube has lots of lectures, but you have to search a little harder, with targeted search.
CEO Express: Business portal for executives created by a busy executive.
The MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) – Coursera, EdX, Udemy, etc, are paving the way for 21st century free, ubiquitous learning online.
The present and future promises informal learning using ICT media where individuals set up their own Personal Learning Networks (PLNs) and traditional, formal learning boundaries of space and time are overcome.
This is the reason that major universities globally are investing more in MOOCs, which are a relatively new phenomenon since 2012.
A major global challenge is to seek to provide learning opportunities that most take for granted to those in impoverished, underdeveloped or less fortunate situations .i.e. the cause of social justice.
So, when enjoying the free learning opportunities detailed in this article, please think about those less privileged and how conditions may be improved to introduce and expand their learning opportunities.
Do you know of any other sites that offers free business education for a self learner which I didn't add to this list? Let's interact at the comment section.

The Korea Jinju City Agricultural Ministry recently promoted the region's produce at Isetan in Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur, in conjunction with the Jinju City Agricultural Products Festival Celebration.
The city of Jinju is renowned for its history, culture and arts as well as produce.
Throughout the campaign, an abundance of fresh imported items such as pear, strawberry, persimmon, melon, yam, chestnut, pumpkin and cucumber were introduced to local consumers.
"We want to use this opportunity to enhance the interest of Malaysian consumers in our agricultural products," said Jinju City deputy mayor Jung Jaemin.
"In the meantime, we hope to attract more business partners from the country to get involved in the industry.
He said strawberries from Jinju accounted for 75% of South Korea's total strawberry exports.
Jinju strawberries account for 75% of South Korea's total strawberry exports.
"All the fruits grown in the region of Jinju have higher natural sugar content and taste better than those in other parts of Korea.
"This is because of Jinju's location at the foot of Jirisan Mountain and the quality of water from the Nam River flowing into the city centre," added Jung.
The International Agricultural and Food Fair is held in Jinju, South Korea, every November.
The deputy mayor said the ministry understood the growing awareness and demand for food safety practices by worldwide consumers.
"We are very serious when it comes to food safety. Our local farmers comply with strict standards and there is a pesticide residue analysis centre for the export of agricultural products," he said.
Jung expressed his gratitude to the officials of Isetan Kuala Lumpur and KMT Jaya Sdn Bhd for supporting the ministry through the special sale.
"I hope this event will serve as a stepping stone for the increase of export of fresh agricultural products to Malaysia," he added.
Also present at the ceremony were Isetan Kuala Lumpur sales manager Abdul Aziz Ibrahim, KMT Jaya Sdn Bhd sales and marketing director Benny Lim and representatives of Korean National Agricultural Cooperative Federation.

GRAHAM: Mueller Can 'Provide Testimony' If He Wants
May 3, 2019 Asst. Editor 0
'I'm gonna give him a chance to correct anything you said he finds misleading or inaccurate. And that will be it…'

(Emma Dumain, McClatchy Washington Bureau) Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, will give White House special counsel Robert Mueller a chance to tell his side of the story.
But that isn't the same as promising to let Mueller testify before his committee, as Democrats are demanding.
The Senate Judiciary chairman sent Mueller a letter Friday inviting him to "provide testimony" if there was "any misrepresentation" in Attorney General William Barr's recollection of conversations the two men had regarding characterizations of Mueller's report on the two-year investigation into possible misconduct by President Donald Trump.
Barr appeared before the committee on Wednesday and, contrary to articles from the New York Times and Washington Post about a letter that had been leaked the day before, said that Mueller had not conveyed any material concerns to him over his brief, four-page recap of the reports key findings.
Barr said his focus was on getting the full report as quickly as possible and limiting the media spin during the intervening weeks as his staff worked on making legally mandated redactions.
However, partisan Democrats claimed that Barr lied when telling Congress he was unaware of any concerns from Mueller.
"The Attorney General testified in essence that you told him in a phone call that you did not challenge the accuracy of the Attorney General's summary of your report's principal conclusions, but rather that you wanted more of the report, particularly the executive summaries concerning obstruction of justice, to be released promptly," Graham wrote to Mueller.
"In particular, Attorney General Barr testified that you believed media coverage of your investigation was unfair without the public release of those summaries," Graham said. "Please inform the Committee if you would like to provide testimony regarding any misrepresentation by the Attorney General of the substance of that phone call."
Congressional testimony can be given in a number of ways. The best-known and frequently used method is to ask an individual to deliver that testimony verbally, under oath and before a specific committee, and then submit to questioning from committee members. These hearings are open to the public, streamed on the committee's website and, in the most high-profile cases, carried on live television.
But in an interview with McClatchy last month, in the minutes following the release of a redacted version of the Mueller report, Graham made clear he was "not interested" in holding a hearing with Mueller.
Graham—a solid conservative and frequent Trump defender—broke ranks with the president by demanding that Mueller be allowed to complete his investigation without interference.
But after the report cleared the president of the specious collusion allegations Democrats had been milking for nearly two years, Graham said the time had come to end the political charade.
Graham has since said he plans to investigate several areas in which the Obama-era Justice Department and FBI likely colluded with the Hillary Clinton campaign to influence the 2016 election in her favor.
To this end, a more likely scenario would be that Mueller is asked to provide written testimony to the Judiciary Committee, which is then submitted into the official committee record. This would spare Barr the media spotlight and scrutiny from Democrats who want to hammer Barr with accusations he's been misleading the public.
Mueller's report states his investigation could not make a determination of collusion between Trump and the Russians to influence the 2016 election, and also that the special counsel could not determine whether Trump obstructed justice to thwart this investigation.

Democrats suspect, however, that there is more to this story: specifically, that Barr is trying to put a sunnier spin on Mueller's findings, which, Democrats believe actually suggest that Trump went through some lengths to try and contain the investigation, even if he emerged from the inquiry without being charged with a crime.
Democrats also want Mueller to testify before Congress—ostensibly to say whether he agrees with Barr's interpretations of the findings—and if Barr is lying.
However, judging from their past use of testimony—whether in the Brett Kavanaugh hearings or the House's testimony from Trump lawyer Michael Cohen, it would more likely be used as a public spectacle to pry for damaging details on Trump that were irrelevant to the matter at thand.
Some have openly speculated that Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are actively seeking to discredit Barr because they are threatened by his current probes into the Clinton and Obama misconduct.
He caused ripples in the liberal media by referring to the FBI's anti-Trump operations as "spying" at his initial testimony.
During the final minutes of the hours-long Barr hearing on Wednesday, Graham signaled he'd be willing to let Mueller address the committee in some form, but only if it were to dispute Barr's recollection of their conversations regarding the report.
"I'm gonna write a letter to Mr. Mueller and I'm gonna ask him, is there anything you said about that conversation he disagrees with," Graham told Barr, "and if there is, he can come and tell us. … Mr. Mueller will have a chance to make sure that the conversation relayed by Attorney General Barr is accurate, and I'm gonna give him a chance to correct anything you said he finds misleading or inaccurate. And that will be it."
Rather than be heartened by a possibility that Mueller could come before the committee, Democrats were dismayed.
"My dear friend from South Carolina, please rethink your position," U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a speech on the Senate floor on Wednesday. "Back off this idea that Mueller shouldn't testify or should only testify if he meets certain conditions only set by you, and call special counsel Mueller in to testify."
On Friday, Graham made clear his position was final.

Welt ohne Außen
Exhibition, live works, workshops
Immersive Spaces since the 1960s
8 June to 5 August 2018
The exhibition "Welt ohne Außen" features art works spanning from the late 60s to the present day, together with live works and workshops. For the first time, Gropius Bau is issuing passes that will give permanent access to the exhibition and all its activities, inviting visitors to explore all facets of the show and to actively participate in the daily workshop programme.
Curated by Thomas Oberender and Tino Sehgal, the exhibition traces a development from the pioneers of immersive installations to contemporary artistic practices, bringing together a wide range of art forms and disciplines. Featuring installations, virtual reality, 3D-film, a smell organ, as well as live works and workshops, the exhibition develops a unique dramaturgy that allows visitors to enter into these immersive spaces, with each work unfolding within its own temporality.
These situations – requiring a process of arrival, immersion and emergence – are created within a format that, since its advent, has usually operated with an almost opposed modality: the exhibition. This ritual of Western modernism can be seen as an expression of a particular set of ideas about being in the world: a world that we, as human beings, confront in opposition, evaluating objects (including art objects) from a critical distance. Immersion, on the other hand, stimulates a direct and immediate experience. Entering and immersing oneself as a part of – and in relation to – an experience is prioritised over the evaluating observation. In this sense, immersive practises are an expression of a changing relationship with the world, one that is based not on a dualism between subject and object, but rather on the entanglement of situation and experience.
As the gap between the spectator and the work narrows questions of energetic charge, density and embodied engagement come to the fore. Starting with works in the minimalist tradition, "Welt ohne Außen" arrives at formats on the threshold of art and non-art, coming from different contexts that are rooted in varied arrangements and understandings, from immersive journalism to workshops and live works taking place in weekly rotation.
The exhibition opens with a series of historical works from the late 1960s, with early works by Larry Bell and Doug Wheeler contrasted with an Environment by Lucio Fontana and Nanda Vigo. From here, the arc spans from more recent works like Carsten Höller's "Light Wall" and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster's "Cosmodrome" – two seminal works from the early 2000's – to Cyprien Gaillard's "Nightlife". Gaillard's hypnotic 3D-film marks the threshold of the transition from analogue to virtual spaces, on the other side of which VR-pioneer Nonny de la Peña makes social realities tangible with the aid of virtual worlds. Beside the multi-layered scent-compositions of Wolfgang Georgsdorf, there will be weekly rotating live works in the Schliemann-Saal and a series of workshops co-curated by artist Isabel Lewis, exploring the elements that define "Welt ohne Außen" as a format between exhibition and live experience, between tangible works and social process, between art and non-art.
As a central element of the exhibition, the Schliemann-Saal will open its doors several times a day to present live works that exist in a tension between the staged and the situational. Artists from a wide spectrum of contexts will be presented in weekly rotation, among them Claire Vivianne Sobottke, Peter Frost and the Group Le Frau, Maria Francesca Scaroni, Xavier Le Roy and two-women-machine-show & Jonathan Bonnici.
Bringing together a broad range of approaches to embodied practice from different practitioners, the workshops focus on 'feeling' as a bodily occurrence rather than 'thought' as a distancing intellectual process. The workshops span three connected rooms where visitors are invited to move through stages of deepening participation from 'hospitality and orientation' to 'guided bodily practice and full-bodied engagement' and eventually 'self-orientation, experimentation and play'. The workshops present an opportunity to get involved in a variety of practices that aren't necessarily artistic in nature but require dedication, commitment and engagement. They focus on locating practitioners in the world, rather than outside of it. Participation is open to all and walk-ins are encouraged.
In the spirit of the exhibition, Berliner Festspiele will issue a permanent ticket, which allows multiple visits and participation in all workshops and live-works throughout the entire duration of the exhibition.

Driven By A Dream
August 31, 2012 Press ReleasesDriven By A Dreamadvanderveen56
(NL versie) (Deutsch Version) Ad Vanderveen's music has been growing and building, both artistically and in terms of popularity. His new album 'Driven By A Dream' is being met with unprecedented anticipation by music lovers all over Europe and beyond. Just rewards for this singer-songwriter extraordinaire, who has honed his craft since he first climbed a stage forty years ago and has won over audiences all over the world ever since.
Ad Vanderveen is a gifted singer and an ace guitar player, who has written and composed hundreds of timeless songs, released over twenty albums and toured incessantly throughout his native Holland, as well as Germany, Switzerland, Austria, England, the US and Canada. He has worked with big name American artists like Al Kooper, Flaco Jimenez, John Gorka and David Olney and cut albums with Texan songstress Eliza Gilkyson and English folk legend Iain Matthews. He recorded with great producers like Bill Halverson (CSN&Y) and Matt Butler (Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd) in famous recording facilities like Wisseloord in Hilversum and Sound Emporium in Nashville. But he also let the tape machines roll in live venues like De Kleine Komedie in Amsterdam and Eddie's Attic in Atlanta, in his own basement, or even in a shack in the woods. All this with the undying love for making honest, emotional, personal music in songs that will stand the test of time.
'Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom', according to Thomas Jefferson. And in these difficult times, we're all in need of a little wisdom. Perhaps that's why singer-songwriters like Ad Vanderveen are so popular now. Their specific brand of honest, pure, straight from the heart music and poetry shines like a beacon of truth in an otherwise chaotic world of confusion, deceit and turmoil. And no brighter beacon than Ad Vanderveen, who, at 56 years of age, only seems to get better. Just listen to 'Driven By A Dream', his brand new collection of eleven songs – musically very diverse, but always spot on in bringing his message across to your ears… and heart. Ad recorded the album at Rockfield Studios in Wales, where just about every famous artist in rock history has worked at one time or another. Together with producer Matt Butler, his Dutch band, long-time companion Kersten de Ligny and a couple of hand-picked English session cracks, Vanderveen recorded a selection of songs that belong to the very best of his vast body of work.
'As long as the songs keep coming, I'll keep going', says Vanderveen. 'I'm inspired by new things all the time. I don't have any Top 40-hits or formats to live up to when I go out and play, so I have the freedom and necessity to make it new every time. In other words: I don't have an external drive, I've got a drive that comes from inside, from the heart and soul.'
That drive has led Ad Vanderveen to record 'Driven By A Dream'. It's no wonder therefore, that this album is – excuse the pun – like a dream come true. Ad will support this release with a lengthy tour throughout Europe. That's what life is like for a singer and a songwriter who touches so many with his songs: He packs his suitcase, picks up his guitar and travels to places near and far. That's how it has been in the case of Ad Vanderveen for the last forty years, and so it will be for many, many years to come. Because a lie has speed, but truth has endurance, honest music like Ad's will last forever…

Setup by Paul Heetebrij


The existing government may not be very good – but the alternative will probably be worse. Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi – neither were model leaders by according to the liberal democratic ideal, but life for the majority of Iraqis and Libyans was better under their rule. The same can be said for Bashar al Assad and Nouri al Maliki, although in the latter case especially, "better" is a relative statement, since an average of over 1000 Iraqi civilians have died or been wounded every month as a result of internal violence (bombings, shootings, etc) during his tenure as Prime Minister.
No population has benefited from the long-running civil wars or instability that has resulted from an existing state government being overthrown by networked opposition elements; and few regional governments are able to beat these networks quickly and decisively on their own. Thus, the West should consider making short-term, limited intervention on the side of existing governmental bodies the norm. Mali is a model for this type of intervention, using a Western QRF to buy time for state and regional forces to assemble, a combined effort to eliminate the opposing network, and a planned transition to a UN peacekeeping force as the method to ensure a stable outcome and continued international involvement.
Counterexamples come to mind quickly, of course. Should the international community have attempted to defeat the RPF and keep the genocidal Habyarimana regime in power in Rwanda after April 1994? Or come to Mobutu's aid in 1997 when the old dinosaur was finally chased out of Kinshasa by Laurent Kabila? These are both extreme cases – Rwanda for the scale of the violence perpetrated against an ethnic minority during the war, and Congo based on the sheer degree to which the state apparatus had been undermined and personalized during Mobutu's rule. It's not clear to me how many similarities these countries share with pre-2003 Iraq or pre-2011 Libya.
Of course, after the rebels won in Rwanda and the DRC, their outcomes have been almost entirely divergent, with a stable, developmental state emerging in Rwanda and a violent, patrimonial status quo holding strong in the Congo. Setting aside concerns about political repression by the RPF for the moment, the Rwandan example is basically the best-case scenario for the international community – a strong, organized rebel group comes in and puts the country back together after conflict's end. To use Carpenter's metric here, life is probably better for the average Rwandan today than it was before 1994. The Congolese case is close to the worst scenario, where armed groups continue to violently contest control of territory for years after the official end of the war, and the central state remains weak and corrupt. For millions of people in eastern DRC, life has definitely gotten worse since the early 1990s, and in most of the rest of the country things have probably changed fairly little since that point.
So how to evaluate Carpenter's proposal? For many countries, I think it's sound. Violent political transitions can do an incredible amount of damage, and the likelihood that a new government will be substantially more democratic or development-oriented than its predecessor seems pretty low, so trying to keep active conflict to a minimum will probably be the single most helpful thing the international community could do to protect civilians. But there's also an obvious need to re-evaluate in the case of of genocidal violence or extreme state weakness.


In these days of Quake 2 and RTX, I thought it would be appropriate to address some of the issues I found in this unit. The first one being that there is way too much railgun ammo available, leading to you being a little overpowered by the end of the unit. So I went over a few of the Gladiators and made sure they dropped less railgun ammo, as it was already covered the ammo packs dropped by the tanks, and the fact that you don't get the railgun until later in the game.
This area in tech4 has been rebalanced to drop less railgun ammo.
The "new" (it was not in the original release) super shotgun area is a bit larger and more prominent than where you found it before. Since it is such an important weapon, it needed an important pick-up spot, I thought, so I made it something larger.
The super shotgun's upgraded area has an unpleasant surprise.
This is the path on tech2 that leads up to the super shotgun area. You can see the entry up in the back straight ahead.
Since a lot of people got lost in this unit, specifically around the "hidden" switch area in tech3, I made it a lot easier to find by chance. I also made a guide light on the floor, so you can be sure you are on the righteous path towards progress.
The blue light on the floor leads the way to the switch, and the area is now opened.
Then at last there is the new area in tech3 that got opened up a little too early that could lead to confusion among players who would end up in an infinite circle through tech1, tech2, and tech3, because they saw the door open and thought it would lead them to where they should go. This does not open until a little later now, hopefully making it a little clearer that it is only there as a way back to the previous levels so you can pick up stuff you forgot, or find secrets, or whatever to take your time. I also fixed a VIS-sue on the columns that created a HOM of mirrors-effect.
Fixed columns now without glitches!


My name is Curtis Ehresman, and I was born and raised in the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada. Since I discovered the electric guitar at the age of 12 I've had a deep passion for playing guitar, songwriting and performing. The first band I jammed with was called 'Anaphora' (2004-2008) and we were a heavy rock cover band, we covered songs by Metallica, Audioslave, Disturbed, and even Slipknot. Anaphora jammed and performed for many years throughout high school until I eventually started up a new metal band known as 'Quetzalcoatl' (2009-2012). We wrote our own original songs and even covered our favourite bands such as Gojira, Lamb of God, Meshuggah and Mudvayne. All of the band members in Quetzalcoatl were from the same small local town, and we noticed that we had a lack of performance opportunities, so spontaneously we decided to stage a simple small concert in my singers backyard. This simple small backyard event was known as 'GrilledCheezaPalooza' and has over the years now transformed into a giant annual music festival in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, Canada. After three of these musical festivals, Quetzalcoatl no longer decided to perform, but each member has continued to pursue other creative interests instead (ie. sound engineering, exploration geology & The Basement Paintings).
In my case, I started writing acoustic music that was very different from my metal roots as a musician. It took a few years to build my confidence, but in 2012 I began to sing for the first time, and in February 2014 I took an Open Mic Stage by myself for the first time in my life. In April 2014 I decided to record 5 of my songs with my friend and former Quetzalcoatl bandmate Kellan Thackeray, which has now been released as the 'Curtwood Bearsman EP', available for download on this website!
From June to July in 2014 I lived in a tent in the woods at the Salt Spring Island Yoga Centre, and from September 2014 to March 2015 I lived in Vancouver, Canada and studied at a Divinity Graduate School. For better or worse, I decided to quit my studies, move home to Saskatchewan and pursue my musical dreams instead. Hence, my new album is entitled 'Divinity Dropout' and it encapsulates my journey of deciding to quit grad school and pursue music instead. This new album was released on April 20th, 2016, and can be listened too & purchased on this website.
After quitting grad school and moving home to Saskatchewan, Canada, I wrote a 10 song album during the summer time (which needs to be recorded). I also entered a Canadian Music competition known as CBC Searchlight, where I managed to get voted into the top 25 musicians in Saskatchewan! Many thanks to the army of voters that supported me in that competition. After spending my summer in Saskatchewan I moved to Sydney, Australia to visit my New Zealand Girlfriend whom I had previously met at the Salt Spring Island Yoga Centre. Since my arrival in Australia on September, 2015 I have once again written another 10 song album (which surprise surprise, needs to be recorded!). Furthermore, after recently working as a garden labourer in the Australian summer heat for 6 months, I have now once again decided to pursue my musical dreams full time. Starting with this new website, and my new album 'Divinity Dropout'!
Since the creation of this new website and release of my last album in April, 2016, I have moved to Rotorua, New Zealand. After writing a ten song album in Australia I currently have three or four more songs written, and will be focusing on more performances and recordings in the near future.

In the eyes of the law, every personal injury case, regardless of the circumstances leading to the injury, is a "negligence" case.
First you must establish that the defendant (the person or entity you claim is responsible for your injuries) owed you a legal duty of care. This duty arises out of the relationship between you and the defendant.
and safe for customers. A doctor owes his patients a duty of care based on his superior medical knowledge and training. As a practical matter, the "duty" element usually is easy to establish.
Next, you must establish that the defendant failed to fulfill (or "breached") his duty of care. In other words, you must show that the defendant failed to act in the way that a reasonably careful person would have acted under the same or similar circumstances.
Sometimes an accident is just an accident. If, however, the "accident" was the result of the defendant's breach of the duty of reasonable care, then it is negligence.
Third, you must establish causation. You must show that but for the defendant's negligence (breach of the duty of care), you would not have been harmed.
Finally, you must establish that you were, in fact, harmed by the defendant's conduct. In a personal injury case, your legal damages typically will consist of out-of-pocket expenses, including medical expenses; lost wages and benefits; future losses, including anticipated future medical expenses and loss of earning capacity; property loss or damage; and intangible losses, including mental and emotional pain and suffering.
