Plastidiped all the emblems, installed flag stickers and put on tyger step bars.

Got the Morimoto HID kit installed and put on my retrofits for leveling/adjusting.
Must've taken me 15 minutes of driving a square grid around my neighborhood yesterday to get everything as perfect as I could. The light output of the Morimoto D2S 5.0's is insane. Light is hitting mailbox to mailbox down the street. JB welded everything into place last night and doing final assembly/bake this evening.
Come on we want to see some pictures of the mustang!
That looks good. Like your stickers a lot.

It took me all of about a second. Good looking car by the way and the fastest color!
What power plants under the hood?
Just picked these up, guy said he wanted to scrap them...I saw an opportunity. Sent them off to get powder coated (triple bronze) and also looks like this TRD center cap will fit!

I'll post pics as soon as I get them back!
Cammed out 302. Nothing especially powerful, but it definitely has a loped growl to it.

I'm done. Third retrofit this year and I'm retiring. All went back together, I have quad brights now (HID shield + 9005s) and the visibility is great. Obligatory cutoff / bright photos. This was a ton of work, but I can see so much better than the awful OEM incandescents.

Dropped the truck off at my friend's garage so he can swap in the TRD suspension I got.
Finished up coating the grill and painted the front emblem. Happy with the results.
Any suggestions on an enamel clear coat to keep the red looking smooth?

Recently joined the Sequoia headlight club. The output color matches nicely with the morimoto XB fogs (pic 2). I had my TRD brake calipers powder coated and clear coated, then installed new seals, boots, abutment plates, and bridge tubes. I'm in the process of Raptor lining the wheel wells this week, I pulled out the plastics, shocks, uca's, etc. But hope to have everything reinstalled this weekend. I'll be sure to post pics of the end result. Almost forgot, the front bumper, fender flares, grill surround, and headlight filler panels should be back from paint by the end of the week!

How's the light output on those LED headlights? I love the look, but man they are pricey!!
Definitely better than the original headlights, but nowhere near the output I had with the retrofits I built a couple years ago (morimoto d2s 4.0's with HID's.) The Sequoias really update the look of the truck so it was worth the trade off to me.

I really like the Tygers. They were on my list but scored the NFabs, a deal I couldn't pass up.
Installed some black headlights to replace my old fogged up ones.

Runelords
4 out of 5 stars 35 Bewertungen
The Sum of All Men Inhaltsangabe
David Farland's acclaimed Runelords series introduces a world where the social structure is based upon the magical exchange of "endowments" such as stamina, grace, and wit. The Runelords are those who receive these endowments from their vassals, becoming superhuman in exchange for the responsibility of caring for those they have deprived of strength, or beauty, or sight.
Young Prince Gaborn of Mystarria is traveling in disguise on a journey to ask for the hand of the lovely Princess Iome of Sylvarresta. Armed with his gifts of strength and perception, the prince and his bodyguard stop at a local tavern, where they spot a pair of assassins who have their sights set on Princess Iome's father. As they race to warn the king, they realize that more than the royal family is at risk - the very fate of the Earth is in jeopardy.

Worldbinder
After the events of Sons of the Oak, Fallion and Jaz, the sons of the great Earth King Gaborn, are living as fugitives in their own kingdom, newly invaded and secretly controlled by supernatural beings of ultimate evil. The sons are hiding until they can regain their rightful places in the land. Fallion seems destined to heal the world and feels the supernatural calling to act. When he summons his powers to do so, though, two entire worlds collapse into one, and every living thing in both worlds is transformed into an entirely new being - yet still somehow the same. Evil is certainly still the same - and may have influenced all of this for a terrible purpose.
The Wyrmling Horde
At the end of Worldbinder, Fallion Orden, son of Gaborn, was imprisoned on a strange and fantastic world that he created by combining two alternate realities. It's a world brimming with dark magic and ruled by a creature of unrelenting evil, one who is gathering monstrous armies from a dozen planets in a bid to conquer the universe.

Jobs for Marine Science
by Jennifer Alyson
Marine biologists study how ocean environments affect water-dwelling wildlife.
Jodi Hilton/Getty Images News/Getty Images
1 What Machines Do Marine Biologists Use?
2 Geology Careers With a Bachelor's Degree
3 What Jobs Can You Get If You Are an Oceanographer?
4 What Do Ocean Engineers Get for a Salary?
Marine scientists have nearly as many career choices as there are fish in the sea. From marine biologists who study how a single species adapts to oceanic environments, to marine policymakers who regulate coastal life, marine science is a diverse field. Regardless of job choice, marine scientists must understand physics, geology, chemistry, biology and math. An undergraduate degree in marine science will net an entry-level job, but higher-level research and management positions typically require advanced education.
From boosting seafood supplies to finding the sources of ocean pollution, marine biologists have a range of job possibilities. Marine biologists study ocean-dwelling organisms, their behaviors and how they interact with the environment. That could mean studying how water temperatures influence shellfish, or how underwater plants affect fish populations. Marine biologists can also opt for biotechnology or biomedicine, such as developing pharmaceuticals from marine life or determining how to protect boats, piers and water-intake pipes from invasive species. Marine biology is marine science's best-known discipline, and it is its most competitive field.
Oceanographers research how water's circulation and physical and chemical properties affect coasts and climates. Study areas include whether oceans limit climate change, how tectonic plates relate to sea floors, and how shipping traffic alters coastal sand distribution. Subspecialties include geological or geophysical oceanography, or exploration of the ocean floor and its structures, and analysis of physical and chemical properties of rocks and sediments. Physical oceanographers gauge water temperature, density, wave motion and tides. Marine geochemists assess oceans' chemical composition, including salt and pollution levels. Plus, they study the movement of chemicals across ocean currents.
Ocean engineering is the marine science that ties together other disciplines. Engineers develop oceanographic instruments and devices that help marine biologists and oceanographers to conduct studies. Engineers have invented ocean seismometers to measure seafloor movements, and buoys that connect to computers or satellites. They've also enhanced underwater video equipment, sound-measuring devices and underwater vehicles. Their devices enable marine scientists to do their work in less time, and from remote locations, rather than in maritime conditions. For marine scientists who must research offshore, engineering has allowed deeper and longer trips beneath the surface. Subfields in ocean engineering include robotics, naval architecture and electrical, mechanical and civil engineering.
Other marine science fields include archaeology and public policy. Marine archaeologists locate and recover underwater shipwrecks, lost cargo, human remains, buildings and tools from past cultures. Plus, they develop plans for managing maritime heritage sites. Marine policy analysts write regulations covering use of the ocean and coasts. They weigh economic, legal and political aspects of activity in the ocean and along shores, and recommend rules or policies for regional, national and international agencies.
Marine science graduates can pursue jobs with a variety of employers. Aquariums, zoos, fisheries and marine-research laboratories hire marine scientists. Scientific journals employ them as writers, while pharmaceutical companies hire them to find potential new drugs in ocean-dwelling organisms. Government agencies, including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Department of Agriculture, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all need marine scientists, as well. Marine scientists can join the U.S. Navy as oceanographers or ships' officers, or they can sign up with the Peace Corps to teach aquaculture in developing countries. Universities also hire marine scientists to teach classes and publish research.

Mama La's Story
Kim Su Tran La (known affectionately as "Mama La") founded Kim Son Restaurants in Vinh Long, Vietnam, but fled her home country in 1979 to Malaysia with her husband and seven children after the Communists overtook South Vietnam. After receiving approval to join relatives in the United States, the family journeyed by boat over the South Pacific enduring rough seas, inclement weather and even a pirate attack before arriving in Houston, Texas on August 16, 1980.
In 1982, Mama La re-established her Kim Son restaurant with her husband, Son, in Houston's Chinatown. With more than 250 recipes committed to memory, she tapped into her extensive knowledge of restaurant operations and traditional Vietnamese cooking passed down from her mother-in-law to put her new restaurant on the map.
Kim Son quickly became an institution serving thousands of patrons and earning accolades from some of the toughest food critics in the United States in top publications like Bon Appétit, Esquire, and Food & Wine.
Today, Kim Son continues to thrive and Mama La is grateful to her thousands of fans and guests who have enjoyed her cooking since 1982. Now she is happy to share the warmth, tradition and culinary treasures of her Vietnamese culture with even more people through the Mama La's line of products. All prepared with care and available at a retail store near you.

The 1 Shamelin Kuala Lumpur shopping mall recently had an artistic 'facelift'. This came in the shape of the Kuala Lumpur Street Art Festival or KLSAF 2013 where street artists were given the platform to showcase their skills and methods in the mall.
Known in some places as graffiti art, the artists were given shop shutters instead of flat surfaced walls to hone their skills. 100 shop shutters at the 1 Shamelin Shopping Mall were given the makeover and it was part of the mission of 1 Shamelin KL to be a hub for young Malaysian artists to showcase their stuff.
The competition offered RM16,500 in cash prizes which was coordinated by the MYC! Or Malaysia Youth Community in which the venue was within the mall itself. The grand finale was held 3 days before Christmas where the general public was given the chance to enjoy the artworks.
Over 100 art students participated in the event where they painted using Dulux paint. The students were mainly from Saito College, MSU (Management and Science University) and Dasein Academy of Art. They had to paint their designs on the theme of Major Asian City which were Seoul, Tokyo and at home, Kuala Lumpur. The grand prize was won by Ken Lee from Saito who took home RM10,000.


Dealing With a Relationship Trial Separation!
Home » Library » Articles » Relationships » Divorce » Dealing With a Relationship Trial Separation!
When you're locked in a struggle with the person you chose to live with, it's as if your very world and home grows smaller and smaller by the day. Some couples have a hard time coming to terms with the emerging differences in their relationship.
Find out where your stress is coming from. It's critical to understand what things are happening in your life and are contributing to heightened stress. Stress can result from dealing with anything or anyone. Once you get a handle on what is causing your stress, it becomes much easier to lessen it or get rid of it completely.
Marital problems becomes too much to bear.
One weapon in your stress-fighting arsenal might be music. Music has a strong influence on people. It has been proven through recent studies that simply listening to music can help calm us. Though society's taste in music is quite diverse, if you find the type that you enjoy, the stress relieving benefits will quickly be witnessed and understood.
When you're trapped in a rocky marriage, temporarily changing your living arrangements appears to be the natural thing to do. After all, you may tell yourself, a trial separation is better than drawing out the conflict and making it worse. Spending some time apart could do both of you good by cooling your heads off.
If your boss isn't a curmudgeon and allows you to listen to your MP3 player at work, you should take advantage of the opportunity. Play softer sounding music to help make you calm and relaxed. If you want louder music, choose music that has happy lyrics and a good beat.
In reality, this seemingly feasible solution will only put a bigger wedge between you and your spouse.
The moment that you notice you are extremely stressed, check your body for any clenching that you may be doing. In many cases, areas of tension occur in your shoulders, back, teeth and hands. Take note of where your tension lies, and work to keep those areas relaxed during times of stress. This will enable you to relax a little and lower your stress level.
Perhaps the differences have become so intense that you finally decide to seek professional help. While consulting with a competent and respectable marriage counselor is a practical step, a trial separation should never be part of your repair strategy.
Try to stop some stressful situations from happening in the first place by being prepared for different occasions. You should have backup babysitters or extra keys stowed away for emergencies. Being prepared for the worst takes the stress out of these unfortunate scenarios.
The act of physically removing yourself from the same living space as your spouse thwarts the objectives of saving your marriage. Moving out negates the vows you made to each other. It disregards the promise of staying together through the best and worst moments of your relationship. Too much distance from a bad situation may weaken your desire to fix it.
At times, when you are out and about, you could possibly be moving a little too fast or thinking a little too fast. Important things that need to be done is slow down and allow yourself to take a breather so that you are able to keep your perspective on things. As the day wears on, try to limit the times that you rush, which will help your anxiety level.
In general, this is an extreme measure that could put your marriage at greater risk. Being apart could just be a preparation for moving away for good. This could in fact, be a transitional phase from temporary to permanent. You could get so used to not living as a couple that one of you might not even bother getting back together!

US jobless rate hits 49-year low
7:57am May 4, 2019
US job hiring accelerated and pays rose at a solid pace in April, setting the stage for healthy economic growth to endure despite fears of a slowdown earlier this year.
Employers added 263,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate dropping to a five-decade low of 3.6 per cent from 3.8 per cent, though that drop partly reflected an increase in the number of Americans who stopped looking for work. Average hourly pay rose 3.2 per cent from 12 months earlier, matching March's year-over-year increase.
Friday's jobs report from the government showed that economic growth remains brisk enough to encourage strong hiring nearly a decade into the economy's recovery from the Great Recession. The economic expansion, which has fuelled 103 straight months of hiring, is set to become the longest in history in July.
"All of the recession talk earlier in the spring was much ado about nothing," said Gus Faucher, chief economist at PNC.
Trump administration officials insisted that the job market's gains were a result of the president's tax cuts and deregulatory policies.
"We have entered a very strong and durable prosperity cycle," said Larry Kudlow, director of the White House's National Economic Council.
President Donald Trump has also pressed the Federal Reserve to cut short-term interest rates because inflation remains low. But most economists said the healthy jobs picture, against the backdrop of low inflation, would reinforce the Fed's current wait-and-see approach. The Fed raised rates four times last year but has signaled that it doesn't foresee any rate increases this year.
Investors welcomed the April jobs data by sending stock prices broadly higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 197 points, or 0.75 per cent.
Jason Guggisberg, vice president of Adecco USA, a staffing firm that finds temporary and permanent hires for business clients, said companies are doing much more to attract workers. They are offering more perks - like free lunches or weekly happy hours - and allowing more flexible work schedules.
Some are also raising pay, though Guggisberg said many of them have to be persuaded to do so. Adecco often has to show its clients data about how many jobs are available in a given area and how few workers are actually searching for jobs.
"We are constantly having conversations with clients about supply and demand" and reminding them that most applicants have multiple job opportunities, he said. "Two years ago, I don't know that I ever had that conversation."

Recent Truvada News & Information
Truvada is a medication that has been used for HIV treatment and PrEP for many years. However, it is alleged that the drug causes kidney and bone loss challenges that Gilead Science didn't warn the public about. It is also believed that the company withheld a safer alternative. If you were taking the medication and experienced the side effects, contact an attorney for a case review.
Consumer Alert Now objective is to provide consumers with the necessary information about all the dangerous drugs and defective devices in the market. It's objective entails warning people about all the side effects and all the unauthorized procedures offered by some medical practitioners and manufacturers of drugs. We aim to advise people on the ways they can take legal action against people who are driven by greed.
Consumer alert now is aware of the manufacturers and medical practitioners' shady activities. People have lost lives, and others have sustained injuries for life. Our legal experts at Consumer Alert Now will help you get justice for any damages incurred from a dangerous drug. You can reach us at our offices nationwide to help you with your case.
Truvada and What It Treats
Truvada is a type of antiretroviral drug from the company Gilead Sciences Inc. The drug is designed to combat Viruses such as HIV present in a human body. It reduces HIV levels, thereby returning the body's immunity system to how it was.
Truvada is a brand name for Emtricitabine/tenofovir. Truvada is a blend of two drugs: tenofovir disoproxil and FTC (Emtriva). Truvada is a fixed-dose that can be used with other medications for the management of HIV. The drug is categorized as Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, which are among the groups of antiretroviral medicines used to treat HIV infection. The drug is administered through the mouth and is taken daily. It is generally recommended for people who have a high chance of contracting HIV.
Truvada is not a cure for HIV. It only prevents HIV from developing into Aids. However, Truvada can be used in order to avoid HIV as a prophylactic drug. For HIV negative people, taking Truvada before engaging in sexual intercourse with an HIV positive person, can reduce the risk of contracting the virus.
Before taking the medication, a person must first confirm his/her HIV status. Truvada is not used to decrease the risks of getting HIV-1. It is advisable to take Truvada while practicing safer sex to minimize the chances of contracting HIV. Safe sex practices include:
Using a latex condom during intercourse
Informing your partner about your HIV status
Regular HIV testing. It is advisable to go for testing every three months
Talking to a doctor about the different ways you can minimize the chances of getting HIV
Truvada was permitted by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US in 2001 under the name Viread. Since its approval, the drug has been sold under different names including Truvada
How Truvada Works
When a person gets infected with HIV, the virus takes over body cells in the body. The cells are then forced to make more copies of HIV. To make these copies, the cells require enzymes called reverse transcriptase. Truvada works by interfering with this enzyme, thereby suppressing HIV from making more copies of itself.
Negative Side Effects of Truvada
As with most dangerous drugs, Truvada has some side effects which make people uncomfortable, cause diseases, and even death. Here are some of the severe side effects of Truvada:
According to research, HIV patients taking Truvada to suppress HIV are more prone to kidney failure.
Kidneys are essential organs of the body. They are made up of nephrons, which consist of blood vessels and tubes. Kidneys work by removing waste from the body in the form of urine. Kidney failure from Truvada occurs when the drug accumulates in the nephrons, thereby damaging them. The result of this is a kidney failure that will require dialysis or kidney diseases which may bring forth other health risks such as heart attacks.
Even though kidney problems are more common in people taking antiretroviral drugs, research has proven that Truvada increases the risk of kidney failure. The study further shows that even after the end of Truvada treatment, signs of kidney disease remain for at least a year.
Warning by FDA
The first warning was issued in 2002 when the company made statements about the drugs not causing kidney failure despite the clinical research documentation included on the warning label.
The second warning was released when the company's sales representatives were caught downplaying the dangers of kidney problems. The final warning was issued when a promotional web link failed to mention the risks of Truvada on kidneys.
For patients who have taken Truvada, there is a higher chance of getting Osteoporosis than to those who have not taken the drug. A human body is made up of a collection of bones called the skeletal system. The skeletal system is an essential system of the body because it provides support and stability. Even though the weakening of bones occurs naturally in most people with age, Truvada has been shown to accelerate the loss of bone density resulting in a disease called Osteoporosis.
A study was conducted to analyze the risks of bone problems on patients who had taken Truvada and those who had not. The study found out that patients who had taken the drug were at a higher risk of developing bone problems.
In 2002, Gilead Sciences received a notice from the Food and Drug Administration about making wrong and deceptive comments about the product to the consumers. The sales representatives failed to mention the dangers of the drug on a person's skeletal system, even though the FDA had included the bone fissures as a risk on the warning label.
In the following year, Gilead Science Inc. received another warning from the FDA about the same issues, but they failed to comply.
FDA for the third time issues another warning in a bid to have the company remove a sponsored link that had failed to mention the risk of bone problems from taking the drugs.
Severe Liver Disease
Among the symptoms of liver problems originating from Truvada medication are, dark urine, yellow-colored eyes, loss of appetite, and light-colored stools. If you get these symptoms, you should visit a health facility to rule out liver problems.
Lactic Acidosis
Even though this condition is rare, research has shown that the drug is dangerous to HIV patients. Patients taking Truvada medication have a high chance of having too much lactic acid in their bodies. The tenofovir causes the body to produce more lactic acid that is unnecessary, which can be harmful to some of the body organs such as the liver. The condition can be life-threatening to patients.
Hepatitis Infection
Truvada can worsen Hepatitis B. For patients with Hepatitis B. When you stop taking Truvada; there is a high chance that Hepatitis B will worsen.
Other side effects of Truvada are minor, and they include:
Queasiness
Unsettled stomach
Faintness
Mass Torts of Truvada, Gilead Sciences Inc.
People around the world rely on medications and medical devices for the betterment of their health. Unfortunately, a lot of manufacturers driven by greed, take advantage of unsuspecting consumers by releasing dangerous drugs into the market. Patients who end up taking these drugs often prescribed by their doctors end up with more diseases or worse injuries. Filing a suit against a pharmaceutical company like Gilead will hold them accountable for introducing a defective drug in the market.
In 2018, Gilead Company Inc. was named as a defendant in multiple lawsuits from claims about their dangerous drug called Truvada. Gilead through its lawyers, filed a motion to dismiss the case, arguing that they were blocked by federal law and the design defect allegations. Their court denied their proposal, which meant the case would proceed to trial.
The lawsuits were meant to hold the drug company accountable for its actions that resulted in deadly consequences. HIV litigation lawyers filed the suit in a superior court in California. For example, Timothy Williams et al. v. Gilead Sciences, Inc. In the lawsuit, Gilead is called a greedy corporation for deliberately putting a dangerous drug in the market to maximize profits.
A few patients have sued Gilead Sciences Inc. on claims that the pharmaceutical company intentionally withheld information on a safer version of the drug from the market. The reason was in a scheme to maximize profits from it. Consequently, hundreds of thousands of people living with HIV got severe and deadly complications. The injuries could have been avoided if only the company had disclosed the information about the safer alternative drug.
In the lawsuit, affected patients argued that Gilead Sciences Inc. was aware of the dangers of Truvada, which prompted them to develop a safer version. The company executives had deliberately stopped the production of the more reliable version of the drug until the Truvada patent was fixed to expire. The move was a means to reap high profits from the sale of the drug. As a consequence, patients suffered from kidney failure and bone density for ten years.
For a patient to qualify for a mass tort lawsuit, a person should prove that he/she had taken Truvada. After that, they should also show that they had suffered either kidney failure or related kidney problems and bone weakening.
Types of Mass Tort Claims
A Defective Product Claim
If there is a defective product in the market, such as a car seat or a food product, that causes injuries or death, multiple victims might come together to sue the organization responsible.
Medical Products Claim
Manufacturers might make a product that has unfortunate health risks such as injuries and possibly death. The company involved will have to take liability for damages caused to the victims.
Environmental Tort
Examples of ecological torts can be an oil leak that affects multiple victims in an area by exposing them to dangerous toxins. A suit will be filed against the organization involved.
How Mass Torts Are Done
First of all, a tort is a civil action involving a large number of victims against a person or an organization(defendants) in a federal or state court. The defendants accept responsibility for victims' damages. Mass tort claims are brought to conserve the court's resources and the parties involved. In mass torts lawsuits, victims are each treated as individuals, unlike in a class-action lawsuit. A single judge oversees and administers similar cases involving the same issues for all the court processes. All the information about the case including investigations, all gathered evidence and discovery are combined for the trial.
A mass tort is brought when a defective device or a dangerous drug causes harm to a large number of consumers. The suit is therefore meant to help multiple victims take legal action against one or several defendants for making a defective device or a dangerous product.
Pharmaceutical products such as drugs and medical devices can be released to the market and have dangerous side effects such as injuries or death. The manufacturer may knowingly or unknowingly fail to notify the public about the dangers of the product. If it is established that the manufacturer knew about the dangerous side effects of the product, the pharmaceutical organization will be held liable for the victims' damages. The drugs will also be recalled.
To file a mass tort suit, a court will first consider whether:
Many people(victims) are involved
The victims live in the same place or near each other
The injuries from the defective device or dangerous drug are similar
The claims made by the victims are from the same issue; the drug or device
Mass touts, therefore, allow for each person in a mass tort suit to receive compensation for the different claims and damages experienced by each plaintiff. If the court establishes and approves the mass tort, a judge will be assigned to hear the case.
Filing a Tort Claim
The steps to filing a tort claim are:
A person(s) who suffered the damages (injury or loss) files a tort claim. If the victim died, another person entitled to assert the complaint could file the suit.
File a suit within two years since the damage giving rise to the claim.
Fill in a claim for damage injury or death form.
The general counsel evaluates your claim and may either deny or settle it.
When you ask for legal assistance about a dangerous drug, your attorney will evaluate the case and give you an explanation of your rights about the defective drug recall. The attorney can then draft a claim and negotiate a settlement with the defendant's attorneys or take the case to trial
Mass Tort Process
Records reviewing
The first important step of a mass tort process is the reviewing of records, also known as discovery. It involves going through the case files. The Lawyers will take a look at the statements from the victims and their medical histories to ascertain the injuries and the dangerous drugs and defective products that caused the problems. The discovery process is vital because it helps identify consistencies of the claims between each victim.
Consistencies in Injury Claims
Lawyers will check for the common components of injuries as a result of the dangerous drug or defective device. This will be evidence of the claim, and it will also allow the victim lawyers to identify the cause of the compensation requests.
Filing in the Federal Court
To speed up the court's process, all the information will be combined.
Bellwether hearings
This involves conducting trials for smaller lawsuits of similar cases. The bellwether trials will determine the future outcomes of similar cases.
The victim lawyers and the defendant lawyers will enter into negotiations to settle the claims brought forward. The victims can then choose to ignore the proposed agreements presented by the defendants or agree to the terms. If the victims do not agree to the agreements, the cases will proceed to trial.
If the plaintiffs win a mass tort case, the defendant might try to appeal on the basis that plaintiffs did not meet the burden of proving causation
Since mass torts involve a large number of victims, the trials can take a long time before it can be resolved. Some issues will impact the time it takes for a specific mass tort lawsuit to end:
Investigation and collection of evidence - Since a mass tort requires a lot of proof, it may take a while before all the tests are gathers.
Locating and disposing of witnesses related to the case - Mass torts require various witness testimony, including expert depositions. Finding and deposing witnesses involved can take a long time.
Traveling - Not all witnesses can be at one place when they are needed, because of this, lawyers will have to go to meet them to get their witness testimony.
Compensation in a Mass Tort
Mass torts are a part of multidistrict litigation, which means cases are coordinated together before a single judge for a hearing. And even though evidence of the case is collective, an individual plaintiff does not have to represent the rest of the plaintiff.
In a mass tort lawsuit, each victim is treated as an individual; this means compensation varies from plaintiff to plaintiff. Mass tort allows for victims to pursue different proportions of compensation claims.
How Compensation Amount is Determined in a Mass Tort
In a mass tort, compensation is determined based on the evaluation of medical data. Medical professionals will study the plaintiff's medical records to ascertain if they meet the compensation criteria. When the lawyers from both sides finally settled on a deal, they will set up a matrix in which they will consider different things before coming up with an amount for each of the plaintiffs.
Some of these factors arethe age of the plaintiff, date when ingested the drugs, the type of injury caused, the time the said effects were diagnosed, the medical care and treatment given, whether the treatment helped and the plaintiff's medical history. Therefore, mass tort lawsuits ensure that each victim's claims are analyzed on its own.
In mass torts, individuals get compensation efficiently and fairly. Mass torts, therefore, help individuals get compensation like they would have if they had filed a personal injury lawsuit.
Mass torts ensure victims are not intimidated by large companies with unlimited resources. Mass torts give them a platform of the same level playing field irrespective of their economic background,
Different Types of Compensatory Damages
Since large companies have unlimited resources, they will take advantage of their resources to counter the liabilities. But having a great mass tort attorney will ensure you get compensation for damages. Some of the compensations are:
Compensation for disability
Compensation for all medical bills
Payment for physical therapy
All the transportation cost
Payment for all the lost time spent away from work
Compensation for damages caused to your relationships as a result of the injuries
Compensation for psychological damages.

Normally, the Golden State Warriors don't face a challenge, until they get to the NBA Finals. That's not saying that the Warriors don't go through their struggles. In 2015, the Memphis Grizzlies had them on the ropes, in the second round.
The 73-9 2016 season saw the Warriors nearly blow it to the Thunder, before blowing it to the Cavaliers. Last season, the Warriors had a pretty uneventful run, but James Harden's Rockets were capable of beating them. They almost beat Steph Curry's Warriors, too.
Last night, the Warriors got their first real playoff challenge, in the first round. Going up by 31 points, the Warriors blew it to the Clippers, losing their first home first round playoff game, since Chris Paul's Clippers got them, back in 2014. The fans on Twitter have had a lot to say about this.

Credit Cards That Offer Identity Theft Resolution — Too Good to Be True?
Is Credit Sesame's $50,000 Identity Theft Insurance Worth the Hype?
The recent Equifax data breach that exposed the names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver's license numbers of about 44 percent of the current American population has many consumers now rushing to freeze their credit scores. However, many consumers may not grasp what that really entails.
In a recent survey by CompareCards.com, a subsidiary of MagnifyMoney's parent company, LendingTree.com, 78 percent of respondents said they had never put a freeze on their credit reports.
When you freeze and thaw your report, you are preventing anyone else from opening a credit account under your name without your knowledge. It's a smart way to defend yourself against some cases of identity theft. Massive data breaches like the one that hit Equifax are stark reminders of the importance of protecting sensitive information from potential fraudsters, but that doesn't mean you should wait until your information is compromised in a data breach to act.
A credit freeze, or security freeze, is a tool consumers can use to restrict access to their credit reports. The freeze makes it harder for criminals to commit financial fraud using your information.
The freeze seals your credit reports so that new requests won't be processed without your approval. You will need to use a personal identification number — only you will know it — to lift or thaw the freeze before creditors can again have access to your credit report. A freeze adds a layer of security, since most creditors won't extend new credit without seeing your report.
You will need to request a credit freeze with each of the big three reporting bureaus — Equifax, TransUnion and Experian — for the freeze to have the biggest impact.
A credit freeze will have no impact whatsoever on your credit score. Freezing your credit will neither raise nor lower your score.
Your current creditors, government agencies or debt collectors acting on behalf of those parties will still have access to your credit report if you freeze it.
You will still be able to use your credit report to do things like open a new credit account, apply for a mortgage, rent an apartment or take any other action that calls for a credit check. But you'll need to lift the temporary freeze before lenders can gain access to the report. If you know you'll be doing any of those activities, you can temporarily lift the freeze for a certain party or a length of time, but it may cost you money to do so.
Prevent a criminal from committing fraud involving your existing accounts.
Freezing your credit report won't prevent you, or any would-be thieves, from using your existing credit accounts. You will still need to vigilantly monitor all of your personal bank, credit and insurance accounts for fraudulent transactions or other signs of fraudulent activity.
Freezing your credit report won't stop lenders from sending you prescreened credit offers, as they prequalify new customers using a "soft pull." A soft pull doesn't show up on your credit report or harm your credit score. Banks buy the names of people who meet their credit criteria from credit bureaus to create their prequalification lists. So when you are prequalified, it just means you're on a list somewhere. If you want to stop receiving such credit offers, call 888-5OPTOUT (888-567-8688) or ask to be excluded here.
A credit freeze can help to prevent financial fraud, but it will still leave you vulnerable to many other kinds of fraud. When criminals obtain important and sensitive information like your Social Security number as they did in the Equifax breach, they can use this data to commit criminal, medical, tax and employment theft, too. For example, a thief could use your Social Security number to file a tax return and claim a fraudulent refund, or use your personal information to obtain medical care or employment without your knowledge. Remain vigilant to protect yourself from other forms of fraud. Pay careful attention to any mail or phone calls from a medical office, government agency or other entity. They may be reaching out to verify your identity or report that someone else is attempting to commit fraud in your name.
You must go through a separate process with each of the three major credit bureaus to freeze your credit report.
You can freeze your Equifax credit report online, by phone or by mail.
Online: In a statement issued in The Wall Street Journal on Sept. 27, Equifax said it would offer a new service that permanently allows consumers to lock and unlock their credit reports for free. The service is set to debut by Jan. 31, 2018.
In the meantime, you can still freeze your Equifax score the traditional way, by visiting the Equifax security freeze site. You will first need to fill out a form with your personal information, then make any payment required by your state. Equifax's site may be experiencing high traffic as a result of the recent breach, so it may not be able to process your request right away. If that is the case, try one of the other methods or try again online in a day or two.
Phone: Call 1-800-685-1111 (New York residents call 1-800-349-9960), and you should be connected with an Equifax representative who will verify your personal information and assist you with your credit freeze request.
Online: Go to the TransUnion security freeze site. You will need to log in or create a TransUnion account before you can submit your request online.
Phone: Call 1-888-909-8872 and a TransUnion representative should verify your personal information and assist you with your credit freeze request.
TrueIdentity: TransUnion offers a free credit report monitoring service called TrueIdentity. The service allows users to lock and unlock their credit report with a swipe on their mobile device or a click online. It gives access to unlimited TransUnion Credit report refreshes, and alerts you if an entity pulls your TransUnion credit report.
Online: Go to the Experian security freeze site. Select "add a security freeze," then "apply online" and you'll be redirected to a form requesting your personal information. Submit the form and make any payment required by your state to freeze your report.
Phone: 1-888-EXPERIAN (1-888-397-3742). Press 2 to be guided through prompts to request a security freeze.
The protection isn't free. Each time you freeze your report, temporarily lift a freeze or permanently end one, you may have to pay a fee. In the wake of the Equifax hack, consumer advocacy groups and some lawmakers have renewed their efforts to allow data breach victims to sign up for free credit freezes in their states.
"It is outrageous that the credit bureaus charge us fees to prevent identity theft when we didn't even give them permission to collect our information in the first place," Mike Litt, a consumer program advocate with the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, said in a statement a little over a week after the Equifax data breach was made public.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) introduced the Freedom from Equifax Exploitation (FREE) Act on the same day. The act is intended to make actions related to freezing credit reports free for all consumers nationwide.
Until the proposed act wends its way through both houses of Congress, the amount you may pay to freeze, thaw or permanently end a credit freeze will vary from state to state and may be up to $10.
The majority of states have laws in place that cap the amount a credit reporting agency is permitted to charge consumers to freeze, lift, or thaw their credit reports. A U.S. PIRG analysis released shortly after the breach found only four states — Indiana, Maine, North Carolina, and South Carolina— have laws in place that provide free credit freezes, thaws, or lifts for their citizens. The analysis found an additional four states provide free freezes, but charge for thaws.
There is a silver lining for some. If you can present documentation showing you are a victim of identity theft at the time you place a freeze on your credit, most states will waive fees.
You can check what your state will charge you for each action below. Multiply the amount by three because you will need to pay each credit bureau.
In a Sept. 15, 2017, statement addressing the recent breach, Equifax said it would waive security freeze fees for all consumers through Nov. 21 and refund those who have paid to place or remove a credit freeze since 5 p.m. on Sept. 7, just after the breach was announced.
Nearly every state has legally identified definitions of a "protected consumer," which may be a minor, an elderly citizen, a service member, a spouse of a victim of ID theft, a medically incapacitated person or some other distinction. Depending on the state, a protected consumer may pay a different amount or have his or her fee waived. The National Conference of State Legislators has more information on whom each state counts as a protected consumer, here.
**In Kentucky, Pennsylvania and South Dakota, security freezes expire after seven years.
You should freeze your credit report when you are in danger of financial or identity fraud.
Eva Velasquez, of the Identity Theft Resource Center, says consumers should consider freezing their reports if they are victims of identity theft or at an increased risk of having their information misused for identity theft because of lost or stolen items.
Consumers might also consider a credit freeze "if their personal information, specifically their Social Security number, is compromised in some way, like in that of a data breach," says Velasquez.
Freezing your report is an important consumer protection you can and sometimes should take advantage of as a general consumer. However, there are several occasions when you may not want to freeze your credit.
You are planning to open a new line of credit (credit card, mortgage, etc.) in the near future.
You work for a company that requires a regular background check or access to your credit report.
You regularly open new accounts with financial institutions.
Ultimately, if you are not in danger of ID theft, the decision to freeze or unfreeze your credit report depends on whether or not you're willing to go through the inconvenience and cost of unfreezing and refreezing each time an entity you approve of wants access to your credit report. If you want a more convenient way to monitor use of your credit report, you may want to consider placement of a credit fraud alert instead of the freeze, as explained below.
The most obvious benefit you'd get from freezing all of your credit reports is an additional layer of protection. Only you can permit a lender or other entity to receive your full, detailed credit report. You'll have the opportunity to verify a request's legitimacy before anyone can obtain your report.
Neither freezing nor thawing your credit report will affect your credit score. Your credit score is impacted by positive or negative activity on your end. Adding protection is considered a neutral action.
If you're a victim of ID theft, you won't be required to pay any fees to freeze, thaw or lift a freeze on your credit report in most states. However, you may need to provide additional documentation proving the theft and submit your request in writing.
The added protection comes with the added inconvenience of freezing, or thawing your credit report when you need to apply for credit. This will take just a bit of forethought and may cost you up to $10 each time you thaw your report. You may take several minutes to complete thaw requests for all three bureaus online, which will make it a little more difficult to apply for a credit card in the checkout line. You can manually refreeze your accounts or set your request to automatically do so on a certain date.
Each action — freezing or lifting a freeze — may cost you $3 to $10 in many states. The cost is often tripled, as it's necessary to freeze or thaw all three of your credit reports if you are unsure which bureau the entity requesting your report will use. The cost may be high for some consumers. Freeze and thaw your reports wisely, and ask the requesting entity which bureau it uses to avoid paying unnecessary fees whenever you can.
If you don't think you are in immediate danger of ID theft, you can opt for less-drastic protection and set up a credit fraud alert with all three bureaus instead. When you have the alert set, all lenders attempting to pull your credit history will see a flag on the reports, alerting them to verify your identity before extending credit.
The entity is not required to go through additional verification, but the warning puts it at that entity's discretion. You will still be able to apply for credit whenever you'd like, and won't need to remember a PIN to unlock your credit report.
Additionally, fraud alerts are temporary. In most cases, you will be required to renew the alert in 90 days.
This week, the online technology publication TechCrunch reported that millions of pages of mortgage loan documents were leaked online. More than a decade's worth of data may have been affected, giving identity thieves access to financially sensitive documentation about every aspect of a consumer's income, credit and assets.
The incident makes clear one potential downside of the industry's inexorable move online. Mortgage companies have been scrambling to keep up with consumer demand for a fully digital mortgage experience. The convenience of allowing lenders access to bank records, employment and income history, and credit information electronically may save time and stress in the mortgage approval process.
However, one of the downsides to all of this digital simplicity is the risk a cybersecurity breach could give a hacker access to all of your financial data in one place.
Knowing what to do and what not to do are essential in preventing identity thieves from using any of your personal information to obtain new credit. You also need to know how to spot scammers that will try to take advantage of consumer fear and confusion to promote bogus services.
Do not provide any sensitive information over the phone to anyone who calls regarding your credit card or loan accounts, or anything having to do with your bank. Insist on getting a call back number and call them back — if they aren't for real, they will probably hang up as soon as you ask for their contact information.
The FTC suggests you "don't believe your caller ID." Sophisticated scammers can create a "spoof" phone number that shows up on your caller ID in the name of your bank or credit card company, but is really a con artist trying to take advantage of you.
Do not open emails or answer texts from anyone claiming to be related to the recent data breach. If you receive such electronic communication, contact the creditor or bank immediately and ask for their security department to confirm if the correspondence is legitimate.
The IRS will not call you to confirm your personal information. The IRS recommends that companies experiencing a data breach send you a letter explaining what happened, what you can do to safeguard your credit and identity and how to follow up with them.
Any conversations that you have with creditors or banks should be initiated by you, using contact information you have on credit card and bank statements that you already have on file.
There is information suggesting the most recent mortgage data breach may have included public access to passwords and user IDs for a variety of different financial accounts. Change your user ID and passwords to your online bank accounts and any credit accounts that you access online.
Track your bank and credit card balances, and notify your bank or credit card company immediately if you see any unusual charges or withdrawals.
Your bank or an online credit monitoring service will provide up-to-date information about any new inquiries made. If you see unusual activity, then you may want to follow one of the steps below to activate a credit freeze with all of the credit bureaus so no new credit can be opened without direct contact with you.
If you have evidence that new credit accounts are being opened, or if someone has accessed your bank account, there are several steps you need to take to notify authorities and fraud departments at your bank and creditors.
You need to make sure that your assets are not liquidated, so contact your bank immediately. Most banks have fraud protection measures in place to replace any stolen money quickly. The sooner you contact the bank, preferably in person, the quicker a report can be filed, your old account can be closed and a new one is opened.
Brokerage accounts don't have the same identity-theft protections that bank accounts do. If you have mutual funds, IRAs or 401ks, you should contact the brokerage. If you do see any suspicious activity, you'll also want to contact the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Credit card companies have fraud and identity-theft departments. This information is often on the back of your credit cards so contact them immediately to let them know your information has been used without your authorization. They may need you to fill out police reports, and provide additional follow-up as the fraud department investigates your claim.
It may not be top of mind, but come tax time, you may get an unpleasant surprise if you learn someone filed a tax return on your behalf. This happened during the 2017 Equifax breach — because returns are filed electronically now, it's much easier for an identity thief to try to get a tax refund using your identification information.
The Federal Trade Commission recommends putting a credit freeze on your credit if you suspect or are in the process of an investigation into identity theft of your personal information. You will need to validate any new credit requests that you make and some lenders, especially mortgage companies, will need you to release the freeze if you try to apply for a home loan in the future.
If you haven't actually experienced any fraud but have been notified by a company that you did business with that they experienced a breach of data, then you might want to start with a fraud alert. Unlike a credit freeze, a fraud alert allows your credit information to be accessed, but it lets any creditors know that you suspect or are concerned that your information may have been compromised.
You'll want to have a date-stamped written record of all communications, in case you up needing to take legal action to recover your losses. Police and federal investigators may need this correspondence to pursue investigations against identity-theft criminals.
The FTC also has an identity-theft affidavit that can be completed and provided to law enforcement.
Impostor scammers will try to play on fear and confusion by creating schemes to defraud you out of money for extra security services or even lawsuits representing your interests and promising large payouts if you'll just join their list. They may call, email, send letters or even knock on your door claiming to be law enforcement or an agent of a federal agency.
If anyone tries to charge you an upfront fee of any kind to protect you from further breaches, or to include you in any kind of legal action, hang up the phone and contact the authorities. Given the size of this mortgage breach, you'll want to sign up for the Federal Trade Commission's scam alert service to find out if there is a pattern of new scams related to this leak.
Because data was accessed from companies that service mortgage loans, hackers may send you notices of a transfer of servicing and tell you to make your payments to a new mortgage company or location. Use your recent mortgage statement to contact your current mortgage company if you get any notices.
Also, be sure to file a complaint and provide a copy of the email or mail correspondence to the authorities if they request it.
The FTC provides excellent resources regarding what to do if you are a victim of identity theft.
Identity thieves may wait a while to use your data. The info you provided to get your mortgage provides a great deal of detail about your financial profile, which means a scammer can impersonate you for many types of online credit and financial transactions.
By giving notice to your creditors, banks and the IRS, they will at least be on notice to watch for activity. Their correspondence should be in writing and provide you with verifiable contact numbers for any information requests.
Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy. While loss is a natural part of life and we may expect it, death often overwhelms us with shock, depression and confusion. Sadly, when you're in this vulnerable state, there are identity thieves looking to prey on your dulled awareness. They do so by stealing the identity of the deceased and fraudulently opening credit card accounts, applying for loans and obtaining service contracts.
This concept, called "ghosting," is a widespread problem. There hasn't been a lot of research on the issue, but one study estimates that, the identities of approximately 2.5 million deceased Americans are used fraudulently each year. Of those, almost 800,000 are deliberately targeted cases.
Many identity thieves are practiced in using the dead's information for their own financial gain. Coping with the loss of a family member is difficult, but it can be exacerbated by dealing with the fallout of identity fraud.
Criminals who deliberately target the departed know that it takes time for financial organizations and credit reporting agencies to process death notices and update their records, leaving open a window of opportunity for fraud.
With the recent Equifax breach, people may be more aware of their credit situation than in the past. However, a survey taken shortly after the Equifax breach by CompareCards.com (which, like MagnifyMoney, is a subsidiary of LendingTree) shows that approximately 78 percent of people did not freeze their credit after the breach. People are largely aware of the negative impact that identity theft can have, but a large portion of the American population neglects to take the next steps necessary to protect themselves.
Luckily, the steps to take to protect your loved one's identity are clear and relatively simple to follow.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) states that, in most cases, the funeral director will notify the administration of a person's death. To ensure this, you must give the deceased's Social Security number to the funeral director. From there, credit reporting agencies and lenders will be informed of the person's passing, and they'll automatically put a death notice or alert on their credit.
To expedite the process, it is suggested that loved ones who are close to the deceased (typically a spouse or child) take matters into their own hands to get a death notice placed on their departed family member's credit reports at the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. This will involve submitting a death certificate, and the Identity Theft Resource center recommends requesting 12 copies of the certificate for such purposes (some institutions may require an original, rather than a photocopy).
The easiest way to update that person's credit account is to have a relative or executor send letters to each of the three credit national reporting agencies, according to Equifax.
Kerskie advises that people going through this process prepare to provide proof of relationship along with the death certificate they're submitting. "This could be a marriage license or court papers," she said.
When speed is of the essence in beating potential fraudsters, mailing is certainly not your fastest option. Experian offers a solution: Submit the death certificate and death notice request online by uploading the documents directly to its system. Once it receives the information, Experian will add the deceased indicator and permanently remove the person's name from any future mailing lists for preapproved offers.
Equifax also offers two speedier options – email a copy of the death certificate to [email protected] or fax your records to (888) 826-0727. It should be noted that email isn't a secure way to submit this personal information (especially in light of the fact that you're working to prevent identity theft).
While TransUnion doesn't have a streamlined online tool or fax offering, they do advise family members or executors to call (800) 680-7289 for more assistance. If you need any help requesting that a death alert be placed on a deceased's account, your first action should be to contact the bureaus directly.
Although going through the process of contacting credit reporting agencies may seem like a hassle, your to-do list doesn't end here. In addition to notifying the credit bureaus of the death, you should also request a copy of the person's credit report. The Identity Theft Resource Center provides a form you can use to request the reports.This will help you to better understand what accounts are open, and it can help you spot suspicious activity. Should you face the worst-case scenario and your loved one's identity is stolen, this will also help you to prove what charges the thieves have incurred.
Additionally, while it's common for funeral directors to assist you in reporting a loved one's death to the Social Security Administration, it behooves you to ensure this has been done. The easiest way to contact the SSA is online, but you can also call them toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 or at their TTY number, 1-800-325-0778.
Be proactive and let the deceased's various financial institutions and account holders know about their death. Reach out to banks, insurers, brokerages, lenders, mortgage companies and credit card companies by mailing them copies of the death certificate. Kerskie recommends sending these things by certified mail and request a return receipt to ensure the safety of the personal information you're sending.
Limit the amount of personal information that's released to the public. Identity thieves often gain access through obituaries that list dates of birth, death, full legal names and addresses.
Consider changing the deceased's address to forward to a loved one's home or an executor's place of business. Identity thieves sometimes steal personal information out of a deceased person's mail box.
Don't forget to file the deceased's final tax return.
Resolving identity theft of a deceased person follows many of the same steps you would proactively take to prevent it: Request a copy of the credit reports from the three major credit bureaus, request a death notice on that person's credit and notify creditors of the person's death. If fraud has occurred, there's an extra step: The Identity Theft Resource Center advises you to contact the police in the jurisdiction of the deceased with evidence of fraud. This might be a collection notice you've received on the deceased's behalf, or a credit report showing fraudulent activity.
It's important to remember that you should not be held accountable for fraudulent debt that's racked up in the name of your deceased relative. While this may not provide any emotional consolation as you're going through this process, it should help to relieve some of the money-related stress you're experiencing.
