Knowledge production questions: More lessons from Feminism and Post-co
I often like to say that when reading any text one must always ask: under what conditions did it arrive to me, and under what conditions was it written?
After the overview of the contributions of feminism to scholarship, especially strong objectivity I would add 3 more questions to ask of any text.
Who is this written by? Who is this written for? And who is this written about?
The first is the easiest one, locating the author, his position in society, relations to power structures, his world-view and structures of privilege that he is embedded in. The second one is more difficult, this is not just about the audience of the text, but the body that has commissioned or funded the text. Or even indirectly about the social questions that this text seeks to relate to. Answering the question of why states go to war for example is written for states, for heads of state in particular with a conception of power as domination and security as state boundaries. The second question, who is this for, is the most important one I think. It gives a lot of insight into the choices that a scholar makes to represent the world. Finally who is this about. This question is also more nuanced than simply saying it is about one country or a group of people. This is from post-co, when colonial scholars write about the colonized they are not writing neutrally, they are writing for a certain purpose (based on what they think is important) but also about a certain subject. The terrorist, the native, the savage. This is to say that the subject is not a neutral objective category existing in real life, rather it is the referent to which the author is pointing to which is far less multidimensional than the real thing. The Egyptian peasant for example as a subject is not a person, but a class of actor seen as a particular representation of something the author has in mind, In this case it might be poor, backward, superstitious, stagnant … This is particularly true when we write about the decontextualized subject.
So back to the first two points, Under what conditions did this arrive to me. This is particularly important when reading classics like Hobbes, Thucydides, or lets take Weber in this case. Weber was introduced by Parsons as a counter to Marx, thereby emphasizing the culture/ non-material parts of his work. How did the text I am reading now come to reach my hands, who kept it safe, who translated it, why did they do this. What was the publishing house, what role did the editors play, what language was it in, what format does it come in… This and a whole number of other questions are important to know before starting to read any text. Who is introducing it into the present and for what purpose. What role do they hope that this scholarship has to play. What are the structures and social conditions that allow this scholarship to emerge as it is when it gets to me. This is related to post-colonialism as a label and definition. It should not however be taken as an excuse not to look at the content but rather to supplement our understanding of it.
The second point of under what conditions was this written, I now find has parallels with the Cambridge school of history, a text is never an absolute statement, when it is written it is written for a particular interlocutor, for particular problem spaces, and in relation to existing texts and conditions at the time which it is responding to. Hobbes was writing in the English civil war, Marx under sharp industrialization and the beginning of capitalism. This holds true for contemporary writers as well. The first part of this point is to look at the context under which the scholar was writing, what political and social issues were important, was the author under duress, in poverty, in wealth … The second part as per the Cambridge school is to focus on the meaning of terms used at the time, who is the author directing his work towards, what questions seem to be important, even pressing a response. Has he been embarrassed by a colleague or is he in heated debate. Is the author in a political party or a government position.
To sum up: Of any piece of produced knowledge we must ask the following: Who is this for, who is this by, who is this about, under what conditions did it reach me, under what conditions was it written.

making dough in food processor
making dough in food processor (post #67366)
The almond cookies dough that was made in the food processor worked beautifully. Is there any reason why other types of cookie dough cannot be made in the processor too? If not, what are the limitations?
(post #67366, reply #1 of 2)
Hi there..
Great question! The food processor can NOT be used in place of a hand-held or stand mixer unless directed in the recipe!!
Recipes that use a creamed method will not get the same level of aeration in a process and your baked results will certainly suffer.
Recipes that use chilled butter and a "cut-in and quick blend' method, like my rugelach cookies, are fine for processor as they rely on quick blending and not aeration. Also.. some macaroon cookies - especially those made with almond paste work well in a processor as they are moist and chewy and not light and airy.
I hope this is helpful!
(post #67366, reply #2 of 2)
Thanks! I thought that was the case, but I just wanted tobe sure.

The Sunset Difference: Kybella
Treat a Double Chin Without Liposuction
Quite often, a double chin can negatively impact the overall appearance of one's face, and make a person look and feel older and heavier than they are. But there's good news: Sunset Cosmetic Surgery provides Kybella® for Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and beyond. The FDA-approved injectable treatment works to reduce submental neck fat (aka a double chin). There's no incision, no surgery, no downtime. Kybella® treatments simply involve a series of injections to reduce the number of fat cells in the targeted area.
To request a consultation for Kybella®, call Sunset Cosmetic Surgery at 310-858-9100 or contact us .
What Does It Do?
The FDA approved Kybella® in 2015 for the reduction of submental fullness, or chin fat, without the need for surgery. Its special formulation is a synthesized form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, Kybella® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells are unable to store or accumulate fat. Patients often respond positively after treatments, reporting a reduction in the amount of fat in the area under the chin, as well as enhanced emotional impact when asked how happy, bothered, self-conscious, embarrassed, old, and overweight they felt after their session.
Before & After Photos
The above images are unaltered photographs of a patient treated with Kybella®. Individual results may vary. Photo courtesy: Allergan.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Kybella® usually requires two vials per session, with at least three sessions total for the best possible results (however more sessions may be required to get your desired result). Pricing can vary depending on the amount of Kybella® needed for fat reduction.
Please note that Sunset provides numbing cream and/or numbing injections FREE OF CHARGE for all injectable treatments, while some offices require you to purchase it separately.
Typical Recovery Time
Sunset's Kybella® treatments are administered by double board-certified surgeons. The injectable is administered directly into the fat under the chin and is tailored to individual treatment goals. Down time following a treatment is minimal. Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes and can be performed right in our office, allowing patients to get back to work or resume their daily activities immediately.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Once the desired results are achieved after two, four, or six treatment sessions, retreatment is not expected.
What Are the Side Effects and Risks?
Unwanted side effects are rare, but may include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and/or areas of hardness in the treatment area. Though these tend to resolve on their own, contact us immediately if you experience any of these side effects.
Other Safety Information
Kybella® (deoxycholic acid) is meant to improve the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat in the neck and chin area in adults. The injectable has not been established, and is not recommended, for the effective and safe treatment of subcutaneous fat outside the submental region. More safety and contraindication information can be found from manufacturer Allergan on the Kybella® website.
More on Fat Removal
Patients who want to address problem fat elsewhere on the body may consider liposuction, which is a surgical procedure that physically eliminates fat cells by suctioning them away. This option carries its own set of risks and rewards, so anyone looking to have their unwanted fat addressed should be clear about their goals during a consultation with the doctors.
To learn more about getting rid of submental chin fat via Kybella® in Los Angeles, call Sunset Cosmetic Surgery at 310-858-9100 or connect with us through .

Pamela Anderson enters into Bigg Boss: Finally today on November 17, 2010 Pamela Anderson has entered into the Bigg Boss season 4 house. When she entered everyone get shocked and excited as well. But the Ashmit Patel and Hrishant Goswami were very much excited that they hugged each other. Pamela Anderson when entered into the house, she said politely Namaste to everyone and everyone got impressed by her. She wore a beautiful Saari and earrings. She looked stunning in the Saari with bangles, jhumka, bindi. Each housemate is keen to introduce itself to Pamela as she needs no introduction. Before this, she was the housemate of Big Brother, the Australian version of Bigg Boss and so knew the format very well. Entrance of this foreign guest in the house will definitely change the environment inside the Bigg Boss either positive or negative, that have to watch.
Housmates excited: No doubt, seeing her inside the house, everyone is get excited but the most excited personalities was two youngest and most eligible bachelor of the house. That is Hrishant Goswami and Asmit Patel. Both get very much excited and started preparing themselves to impress her from the day one. Although on the first day of her in Bigg Boss, Bigg Boss also made some special arrangements for her and provided her a special room to take rest for a night. The excitement of Ashmit Patel and Hrishat Goswami is not tolerated by Sara Khan and Veena Malik. They did not say anything to them but their expressions were clear and showed everything. They were pretending that they don't bother but in reality both are upset. On the other side, Hrishant Goswami and Ashmit Patel started work out to make them fit and impressive in front of Pamela Anderson. Today is the only first day and all were behaving like this. Well just wait and watch what will happen in the coming episodes of this Bigg Boss season 4. I am sure there will be more entertaining for the viewers of Bigg Boss season 4.
Pamela Anderson: She is the famous Hollywood star who is always in news because of her controversies. She is bold, sexy and beautiful and did many commercial ads before this. She has also performed in many broadcast channels in America. This is the first time she came to India ever and joined any of the shows in India. She said she heard much about this house. She said I also spent three days in Big Brother and that experience was quite good and so I know about the format of the show and it will be fine for me to spend few days here with that format. She said I am just hoping that I will be get back with some good memories with me from this show. Well Pamela Anderson, it is difficult to say but it is for sure that you will definitely get back with some memories either good or bad, time will tell only.Share

Leaders of US – DPRK in Singapore for historic summit
Sunday, 2018-06-10 21:02:52
US President Donald Trump arrived in Singapore on June 10 for a historic summit with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s leader Kim Jong-un that could lay the groundwork for ending a nuclear stand-off between the old foes.
After stepping down from Air Force One on a steamy tropical night, Trump was greeted by Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan.
Asked by a reporter how he felt about the summit, Trump said: "Very good". He then got into his limousine for the drive to his hotel in central Singapore.
DPRK's Kim landed in Singapore earlier on the same day. He was also greeted by Balakrishnan.
The meeting is scheduled to take place at the Capella Hotel on Singapore's Sentosa Island on June 12. It will be the first meeting between a sitting US president and a DPRK top leader.
Kim met Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shortly after his arrival. He is staying at the St. Regis Hotel.
In his first public comments since arriving, Kim said Singapore's role would be recorded in history if the summit was a success.
Trump, who is staying at the Shangri-La Hotel, is due to meet Lee on June 11.

text: He is the most winning football coach at The University of Akron, one of the many firsts in his coaching career. During Dennison's 13 seasons (1973-85) at the helm of the UA football program, he was the first coach to win 10 games in one season; the first to win a post-season game; the first to play for a national championship, the first to be named Ohio Coach-of-the-Year, and the first to be named National Coach-of-the-Year. All of the above firsts came in the memorable 1976 season in which UA compiled a 10-3 record and finished national runner-up to Montana State for the NCAA II title. In 1982, he was selected as Co-Coach of the Year in the Ohio Valley Conference. His UA record reads 80 wins, 62 losses and two ties. He developed 32 All-American players during his 21-year coaching career at UA. A native of Medina County, Dennison was the Dapper Dan Man-of-the-Year in 1977 and has been inducted into six hall of fames, including UA's in 1987.

Fluke 115 Multimeter Review
Fluke 115 Multimeter
Reviewed by: Timothy Henderson
Published on: March 1, 2017
Last modified:
- Design
- Functionality
- Price
Review Summary:
Everyone should own at least one because it's a quite useful automotive multimeter tool . The best thing about modern multimeters is that they are user-friendly. It means that you're going to get a hold of it even if you never had a chance to use a multimeter.
Fluke 115 – The Basics
As far as this particular multimeter goes, the manufacturer did a great job regarding the design and features as well. However, the main thing about this unit is its portability. It's a good multimeter with a nice number of additional functions which make it worth checking out.
The True RMS feature offers accurate and precise readings at all times. It has a big digital display which is illuminated with bright LED lights so that you can use it in dim conditions as well. As far as the capabilities go, it's not much different from many other instruments in this category. Therefore, it can measure capacitance, frequency, continuity, and efficiency.
Even professional electricians find this unit useful because it's great for field work. It uses a 9V battery; it's small and fits your pocket. It's very easy to get it out of your pocket, conduct a measurement, and put it away in an instant, instead of dragging a clunky instrument in your toolbox. On the other hand, the DIY enthusiasts benefit from its simplicity and ease of use.
The Features
True RMS
As we said, the True RMS technology offers accurate and precise readings under unfavorable conditions. The technology works on a pretty simple concept. By having the ability to read AC sinusoidal as well as non-sinusoidal waves, it calculates the equivalent DC value of an AC wave. Therefore, the meters that don't have the True RMS technology tend to display inaccurate data and false readings. People who need this technology the most are individuals who repair or diagnose PC circuits, HVAC applications, electronic ballasts, and more. As you can see, the technology greatly helps with troubleshooting or reading sensitive electronics.
Data hold
The data hold option is especially useful in situations when you can't immediately write down the readings or remember the values. To avoid losing your data, press the "hold" button on the multimeter and the unit will store your readings until you conduct a new one. It might seem irrelevant, but the data hold option is what makes or breaks a multimeter. Professionals seem to like this feature a lot as it alleviates the use and saves a lot of time and effort.
The display
The big 6000-count backlit screen is easy to read from any angle. It's important because many LCDs lose contrast under a particular angle and it's quite hard to read the symbols. However, thanks to the modern technology, the Fluke 115 features a crystal-clear LCD which performs exceptionally well, even in dark conditions.
Auto power off
People often forget to turn off their instrument after use, and it leads to unpleasant surprises. Professional electricians who often use their multimeter appreciate this battery-saving option because it saves a lot of effort, time, and most importantly – money. The device will turn itself off after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Auto ranging
People who benefit from this option are beginners and those who don't have a lot of experience with digital multimeters. It's useful because you don't have to set the range and potentially damage the instrument. Instead, the unit does that for you. Also, if you don't set a proper mode, you'll get an audible warning.
Low battery indicator
This function may seem irrelevant, just like the auto power off option. However, a lot of people appreciate an audible warning when the battery is low. Also, many modern multimeters don't have a low battery indicator, and that can be a burden, especially in urgent situations.
Who Can Use This Multimeter?
Even though it can be used both by professionals and beginners, it works best for people who aren't engaged with analyzing electricity related data on a daily basis. In simpler words, if you're looking for a high-end instrument with great precision, you might check something else out. Although it might not be suitable for hardcore professionals, it still packs a good number of useful features.
Quick readings and field work are trademarks of the Fluke 115. So, if you're often "on the road" and you don't want to drag a heavy instrument in your toolbox, feel free to check this one out, it fits in the palm of your hand, and it performs well.
What we didn't like about this product
Although it's a good product, it doesn't come without a few disadvantages. However, all of these cons are pretty minor, and usually easily solvable.
The first thing people get frustrated about is the lack of an mA and uA range. The error scale is also slightly rough at around +/- 4mA which can get pretty unreliable if the readings go as low as 0.001A.
A lot of users complained about not getting the test leads with the instrument. Whether it's due to company's negligence or it's affected by poor shipping, we don't know, but it's worth mentioning. However, if you happen to get a product without a user manual or test leads, feel free to contact their customer support, and they will be more than happy to help you with the issue.
Although it has an ergonomic design, it lacks a little bit of weight. People don't like light tools because the lack of weight is a characteristic of poor quality. However, don't get troubled by the light weight, look at it as a benefit. You can rest assured that it will perform as advertised.
The last thing that could be better is the test leads. Although they also perform on an expected level, they look unusually thin and unreliable. Bear in mind; this observation is of aesthetic nature; the performance is not affected by the thickness of the leads.
The FAQ
Is this product hard to use?
Is the Fluke 115 made in the USA?
Does it come with a calibration certificate?
What is included in the box?
Can I measure temperature with this unit?
What do The Users Say?
People like the versatility of Fluke 115. It offers a good set of additional features and general capabilities. The manufacturer is well-known for making quality and sturdy units, and this one isn't any different. One thing that separates this sensitive instrument from the others is the affordable price. Although it packs a lot of auxiliary options, it comes at a surprising price, especially for people who are on a tight budget.
Amazon users have also been generous toward the Fluke 115. It holds a 4.8-star rating, which is impressive. Even if you don't know a thing about it, the great 4.8-star rating is more than enough proof of quality and precision. This multimeter has only a few negative reviews, and those are mainly because of poor shipping or rare defective units.

We've moved! After nine years at 21 Fatehpura, we have changed locations! It's taken several days to clean up, clear out and transfer our years of gathered treasures to our new place: 83 Adinath Nagar (about one kilometer away from our previous location), We are now in the fun process of settling in, designing and decorating our collective space together. It's a bit smaller, but we think the shift will open up many more possibilities for the Shikshantar Jeevan Andolan. We feel it will push us even more into exploring our local neighborhoods, to generate even more dynamic unlearning and learning spaces in our city and to strengthen trans-local friendships around the world. Already, we are working with neighboring plots of land to begin a herbal garden and a vegetable/local grain garden. And our neighbors — especially the children — have been welcoming us from the moment we started the move!

A sexual assault forensic exam is a comprehensive medical and forensic examination. It addresses health care concerns, and could lead to the evidence collected being used in court. The exam is performed by a doctor, a specially trained physician's assistant, or a specially trained registered nurse. Specially trained registered nurses may also be called Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners or Forensic Nurses. You have a right to receive an exam after a sexual assault if you choose to have one. You do not have to report to law enforcement to receive the exam. However, if you are under 18, the health care provider must file a report of child abuse to the Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) or law enforcement. Health care providers must also report gunshot wounds and life-threatening stab wounds to police. Health care providers are also required to report abuse of adults who cannot protect their own interests to DCF.
If you want, a specially trained sexual assault advocate can be with you during the exam. They can provide emotional support during the exam and talk to you about resources in your community. Advocates can provide crisis counseling, support services, and information about recovering from sexual assault. If you choose to report the sexual assault to law enforcement, you can ask that the advocate be present while filing the report and throughout the investigation.
If you are thinking about getting an exam, there are some things you can avoid doing to protect the evidence that may be on your body or your clothes. Do not bathe, shower, brush your teeth, use mouthwash, urinate, defecate, douche, change clothes, eat, drink, or smoke. If you have already done any of these things, it is okay. You can still get an exam, and the health care provider may still be able to gather some evidence.
The exam is designed to meet your health care needs and gather the best evidence of the sexual assault. The health care provider doing the exam will be using the sexual assault evidence collection kit (kit). You should be asked to sign a consent form permitting the exam. You can agree to the exam, part of the exam, and can change your mind at any point during the exam. Read the consent form carefully and fill it out appropriately. The health care provider and the advocate can help you to understand everything on the forms. Ask questions if anything is confusing or unclear.
The health care provider will ask questions about you and the sexual assault. These questions are necessary to find out the best way to perform the exam. Your responses will lead to the best possible medical care and evidence collection.
Your clothing and underwear may be collected as part of the exam. The health care provider will ask you to undress while standing on a bed sheet. Your clothing may be taken from you along with debris that may have fallen off when you undressed. Your clothing may be kept with the kit. If you do not have any additional clothing, the hospital or the advocate can provide clothing to you.
The health care provider will then collect as much evidence of the sexual assault from your body as possible. This could include removing fibers, hairs and other foreign matter from your body. Your pubic hair may be combed for evidence and 10-20 pubic hairs pulled. Swabs may be taken from all over body including your genitals, anus, chest, neck and mouth. A blood and urine sample may be collected. The health care provider may also pull 25-30 of your head hairs and scrape under your fingernails. Any injuries on your body will be identified, photographed, documented, and treated if necessary.
The health care provider should also discuss testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy with you. The health care provider should provide information about preventive treatment for STIs and pregnancy. They may swab for cultures for the STIs and take urine for a pregnancy test. In most cases, these tests will not reveal if you are pregnant or have contracted an STI because of the sexual assault. You may receive medication to prevent STI's and pregnancy. If you do not get treatment for STIs, you should follow up with a health care provider within one week. If the results are negative, you should repeat STI testing at six weeks, three months and six months after the assault. If your next period is late or you experience other signs of pregnancy, you should follow up with a health care provider to conduct a pregnancy test. It is also important to continue receiving regular health care.
When the exam is done, the health care provider will give you follow-up care instructions. This is also a time for you to ask any remaining questions.
If the sexual assault is reported to law enforcement, they will take your kit. If law enforcement is not available, the medical care facility can keep your kit temporarily.
If you are not reporting the sexual assault to law enforcement at the time of the exam, you will get an identification number. Your identification number is a unique number from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI). It is used to identify your kit. If you lose the identification number, contact the medical facility that did the exam. A record of your identification number will be kept in your medical record.
The kit will be sent to the KBI in Topeka for storage. Your identification number will be on the kit, but your name will not. The evidence will be stored for up to five years. If you have not reported within five years, the evidence will be destroyed.
Evidence will not be processed until a report is filed with local law enforcement, and they request the kit be processed. You may never learn the results of the exam.
Your clothing may never be returned to you. If you do not report the assault to law enforcement, your clothing will be destroyed with the kit after five years. If you do report the assault to law enforcement, your clothing may eventually be returned to you, but may have small samples cut out of it.
Also, remember to follow the health care provider's instructions about care after the exam is complete. These instructions are provided to you so your health care needs can be addressed.
If you have any questions or concerns after the exam, advocates are available to assist you. Advocates can provide free and confidential support services to you at any time.
Kansas law says that the county where the sexual assault happened must pay for the exam. This is true whether you report to law enforcement or not. You should not be billed for the forensic exam. You are responsible for payment of all health care costs. For example, STI treatment and testing, pregnancy testing, and treatment of injuries are health care. You must pay the medical facility for these types of services. Your health insurance provider may be billed for these costs. If you are reporting the sexual assault to law enforcement, you may be able to get crime victim's compensation to recover medical costs and some other expenses. For more information about crime victim's compensation contact:
Crime Victims Compensation Board
120 SW 10th Ave, 2nd floor
Topeka, KS 6612-1597
(785) 296-2359 Telephone
(785) 296-0652 Fax
If you have any additional questions, you can call the Kansas Crisis Hotline at 1-888-END-ABUSE (1-888-363-2287). Find the sexual assault advocacy program near you (from "Kansas Sexual and Domestic Violence Programs and Crisis Numbers by City" below, or the sexual assault nurse examiner program closest to you.

Stan Cook's Gunmakers & Allied Trades Index
[including Gunsmiths, Gunlock makers and Gunbarrel makers]
Stan Cook established the Gunmakers & Allied Trades Index in 1982. As of April 2004 over 9000 surnames are listed, covering a total of at least 25,000 individual workers. The index continues to grow at the rate of about thirty names each month, and additional information most welcome.
The collection has information about gun trade people working in the U.K. from the start of the trade before 1500 up to 1901. The sources include parish and church records, many trade directories, various census records, the documents of the Board of Ordnance, the registers of the London Gunmakers' Company, apprenticeship records, patent listings and a variety of publications.
The database includes a complete index of the London Gunmakers' Company apprentice records from 1656 to 1902; an index of the gunmakers listed in the Inland Revenue Apprentice Stamp Duty records, 1710-1775; a list of the gun trade people who were listed in the 1851 census of Devon, Norfolk, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and large parts of other counties; a list of at least 600 Wills of guntrade people. Information about various fire insurance policies taken out by gunmakers. An index of the guntrade people recorded in the 1881 census [over 7300 names] of the UK [this includes Scotland and the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey]. So far the names of about 2000 guntrade workers have been collected from the 1901 census. These are obviously subject to the special copyright provisions of this particular census.
Beyond the UK records, the records of guntrade people [mostly of UK or Irish origins] in Australia, Canada, Ireland, South Africa and some parts of the USA, along with the records of a number of British Trading organisations such as the Hudson Bay Company and British East India Company, have also been researched.
Stan Cook offers look-ups of his index. SAE/postage essential if a postal response is requested. At present no charge is made for this "look-up" service.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans developed life-threatening diseases directly attributed to asbestos exposure.
Many filed lawsuits and compensation claims against negligent asbestos product manufacturers and suppliers. Lawyers specializing in asbestos litigation successfully sought compensation for victims of asbestos-related diseases. One of their biggest legal challenges wasn't proving the facts. It was determining fair and just compensation cases values.
It's fair to say there's no such thing as universal values for determining compensation in asbestos disease legal cases. It's not possible to take individual factors and slot them into specific boxes where certain dollar amounts are fixed. There are too many variables involved in deciding fair outcomes. That makes for significant difficulty in determining compensation case values.
Difficulty in Determining Compensation Case Values
Mesothelioma Justice Network Brief
One of the first things a lawyer experienced in litigating cases involving asbestos exposure looks at is how to approach available compensation funds.
That's done before any attempt at calculating the amount of compensation a client is legally entitled to.
It's a horse-before-cart situation, and experienced counsel will look at these main compensation sources:
- Lawsuit Settlements: Asbestos-caused illness compensation awards often come after filing a lawsuit against defendants like negligent asbestos product manufacturers and suppliers. Occasionally, they sue employers who negligently exposed workers to workplace asbestos hazards or failed to adequately protect them from asbestos exposure. Asbestos-related lawsuits don't usually run to a full-length trail. Plaintiffs and defendants agree on a settlement compensation amount before trial or part way through. Settlement compensation amounts may be lower than initially claimed by the plaintiff but there is a guarantee of payment and the defendant's risk of high penalty is lowered.
- Jury Verdicts: Asbestos cases going through a complete trial result in a jury reaching a verdict on liability. If the jury decides a defendant is not liable, the case is dismissed and no compensation is awarded. The plaintiff is out of luck. However, if a jury finds in the plaintiff's favor, they'll also be asked to establish a fair compensation value. Historically, jury verdicts are the highest compensation values and they reach in the millions of dollars for mesothelioma cases. Juries also tend to be sympathetic to the victim and award high personal injury values as well as punitive costs on the defendant.
- Bankruptcy Trust Funds: Today, bankruptcy trust funds are the most common compensation sources. This doesn't mean the defendant asbestos supplier has gone broke and run out of money. It means there's been a long history of litigation against a particular company that took a legal strategy to seek bankruptcy protection while they restructured. Courts ordered the company to set aside compensation funds to cover current and future compensation claims that are administered by a third party trustee. Bankruptcy trust funds tend to be lower than verdicts and settlements, but they have quicker access and follow fair schedules.
- Military and Workers Compensation: Military veterans may be compensated for asbestos-related disease costs and other financial support by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Various state administrations also provide workers compensation assistance in asbestos disease cases. These agencies generally pay lower case values than trust funds and lawsuit awards or settlements. However, they can be ongoing and guaranteed monthly compensation rather than one-time, lump-sum payments.
Assessing Individual Compensation Case Values
How individual compensation case values are assessed depends on the payment source. Each avenue considers the individual claimant's situation and needs. The severity of injury, the degree of negligence and the amount of supporting costs are main factors. But, this is an ever-moving target. Historical figures of previous case awards come into play. However, current payment requirements don't necessarily meet recorded precedents.
Consider these fluid factors:
- The costs of medical care often increase over time.For example, A 2017 study analyzed by the American Cancer Society showed that many cancer drug prices went up by 18-25% only a few years after they hit the market. The price of pemetrexed, which is used to treat mesothelioma, increased by 27% from 2004-2012. Case values need to extrapolate that future medical and support costs will continue rising. The claimant's current age, life expectancy and likelihood their disease will advance need calculating.
- Income levels continually increase. Historic cases adjudicated on lower income levels when calculating lost wage compensation. Today's annual incomes are higher and show no sign of increasing exponentially in future years.
- Defendants' abilities to pay also changes. Some companies declare total bankruptcy and stop business. Others with healthy trust funds can accumulate wisely invested assets and have a greater money pool available in the future.
Setting these fluid influences aside, all compensation case value assessments take in certain baselines. Some case values depend on a fixed matrix that awards compensation based on a strict fee schedule with prescribed variables that add or subtract from total settlements. Other cases have compensation calculated on an individual case.
These are some of the factors going into determining compensation case values:
- Type of Disease: Higher compensation values occur with more serious asbestos-related diseases. Highest to lowest payments are for mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis and then non-malignant diseases. Multi-million mesothelioma compensation cases are common whereas low-risk cases sometimes are only a few thousand dollars.
- Degree of Exposure: Cases of severe asbestos exposure usually command higher compensation value. This is especially true in gross negligence cases where defendants knowingly hid information that could have protected workers and prevented diseases.
- Claimant Age: Older claimants with less years remaining in life expectancy can expect smaller compensation awards. This follows a logical reasoning that will be less long-term expenses to support.
- Dependents: Claimants with dependents like spouses and younger children often receive higher compensation amounts.
- Medical Expenses: Previously expended, current and future medical expenses are calculated as part of an overall claim value.
- Jurisdiction: Most asbestos litigation is at the state level, not in federal jurisdiction. Certain states tend to approve greater claim value than others.
- Pre-existing Conditions: Contributing factors like pre-existing diseases affect claim values. Smoking is the chief issue in lung-related disease settlements.
Seeking Legal Representation in Compensation Claims
Determining appropriate compensation case values is not easy. Part of the problem is that few dependable figures are available to help set what current and future payments should be. Much of the historic information recorded on asbestos claim settlements is outdated or not available. Many asbestos settlement amounts were kept secret to protect defendants from being easy marks for mass claims.
The only consistency in predicting asbestos compensation case values is that severe cases like malignant mesothelioma will pay higher values than lesser cases like non-malignant pleural disorders. A key factor is whether the claimant was impaired by asbestos exposure and to what degree.
The only secure way to ensure just compensation awards is seeking legal representation. Law firms that specialize in asbestos-related litigation are current with compensation trends and figures. Asbestos litigation works on a compensation value fee percentage. There is no up-front retaining cost to a claimant and no monetary or legal risk attached.

In Memoriam: Dr. Naomi Cohen, Professor Emerita, Hunter College History Department
Professor Naomi Cohen had deep roots in our department. She was hired in 1962, was named full professor in 1973, and Hunter remained her academic home until she retired in 1996. Professor Cohen was also what used to be called "a Hunter Girl," after graduating from Hunter, she received her PhD from Columbia and began an influential career in what was then the emergent field of American Jewish history.
Professor Cohen taught twentieth-century United States political history, and U.S. immigration history for our department. She believed strongly that American Jewish history be rooted and incorporated into both those fields. In addition to her outstanding academic reputation, she was an extremely knowledgeable, firm teacher and an excellent editor.
Her academic accomplishments were vast. She received numerous awards for her work which included A Dual Heritage: The Public Career of Oscar S. Straus (1969), Not Free To Desist: The American Jewish Committee, 1906-1966 (1972); American Jews and the Zionist Idea (1975); Encounter With Emancipation: The German Jews in the United States, 1830-1914 (1984); Jacob H. Schiff: A Study in American Jewish Leadership (1999); The Americanization of Zionism, 1897-1948 (2003). She collaborated with our colleague Bob Seltzer on the series Essential Papers on Jewish-Christian Relations in the United States (1990). Her last book, What the Rabbis Said (2008), was published when she was over eighty.
Professor Cohen and her legacy belong to and represent some of the best pieces of the history of the Hunter History Department. Our condolences go to her children, grandchildren, and her very dear friend and classmate at Hunter, our former chair, Naomi Miller.

101 Enduro S 29in Boost Wheelset
Its easy to spend weeks if not months conjuring up a dream wheelset that never fits the bank account — we certainly have done so ourselves. Snappy hubs, burly rims that don't flex under pressure, and lets face it, aesthetics matter too, but with high-end wheelsets typically landing in the 4-digit price range it can be hard to bring these things into fruition. Thankfully Industry Nine aims to mitigate this with the 101 Enduro S 29in Boost Wheelset. This wheelset manages to tick all of our boxes when it comes to ride quality, engagement, and pocket friendliness, and with the I9 name placed on them, we know we can trust that they'll be as durable as they are sleek. The wheels are built on I9's new 101 hub, which takes some queues from the Torch and Hydra, but goes in a more economical direction that sheds teeth, and offers 4-degrees of engagement. They're laced up to I9's beefy Enduro S rim, providing a solid platform to tackle black diamond runs and all-day epics in the backcountry. And since they're constructed with 28 J-bend steel spokes instead of the aluminum found on the 305's, you can enjoy them at a more approachable price that leaves you with extra cash for other upgrades, or even a few race entry fees.
The 101 hub offers a more economical approach to Industry Nine, pairing six dual-phased pawls with a 45-tooth drive ring for quick engagement. While it isn't quite as snappy as the Torch, or the telepathically-quick Hydra, it still performs with 4-degree engagement that blows most of the competition out of the water. The six pawls connect with 90-points of engagement, with two pawls engaging at any given moment for reliable power. The hubs lace up to the Enduro hoops with 28 J-bend steel spokes that offer stiff enough bracing to keep up with the rowdiest of trails, and either XD or HG freehubs to pair up with your cassette of choice.
- I9's new hard-hitting hoops that won't break the bank
- 4-degree engagement is quick to respond to input
- Enduro S rims are built to handle rugged terrain
- J-bend steel spokes offer cost-saving durability
- 30.5mm internal width is ideal for 2.3 - 2.8in tires
- Made in-house at I9's Asheville, North Carolina facility
- Hubs are fully serviceable without any proprietary tools
- Item #NIN0047

Hello, Power Tour. It's me, nads. Sadly for you, Forrest's substitution was short-lived. Now that I've got a doctor's note clearing me for duty (as well as an ointment, clearing me of that rash), I'm back in control. And by control, I mean control of the Daily Power Tour Posts, not my love life, career, destiny or impulses. I still have no control of any of that.
After a long Day 04 in the saddle, some of our crew took in a Cards game at Busch Stadium, until a rain delay put a damper on their fun. Rain delay? Rain delay?! You're telling me 18 multimillionaires can't hit a ball with a stick in the rain? The Power Tour doesn't stop for rain. In fact, the Power Tour stops for nothing – except maybe gas (hot rods burn a lot of fuel), and food (gotta eat), photo ops (our Instagram feeds ain't gonna populate themselves), and to heed the call of nature, which happens quite frequently with our gang (I'm looking at you, Gilbertson Girls). Okay, maybe we do interrupt our regularly scheduled Power Tour legs occasionally. So I guess you get a pass, America's favorite pastime… this time.
For our Day 05 start, the storm left a little moisture behind. And speaking of little behinds, Carson's back. Your chonie game is strong, my man. They wouldn't happen to sell that print in an XL mankini cut, would they? Uh, asking for a friend.
Our boy Glen (with one "n") was ready to rock in his Outlaw Mustang by Classic Design Concepts. Glen never says too much to me (probably because I've been spelling his name wrong all these years), but he did finally tell me where he works – a company called Dakkota Integrated Systems, Inc. Apparently they "manage the complete assembly and sequencing of integrated automotive interiors for original equipment manufacturers." Sounds impressive, but I still didn't understand. Then he showed me the "Illuminated Pony" badge from Dakkota and I finally saw the light. Get it? Yeah, no wonder Glen never talks to me.
Whoever this St. Louis fellah was, he sure didn't seem too saintly to me. It seems like this entire town was built on on the back of big beer money. Sounds rather decadent to me (and altogether delicious).
Had to swing by Busch Stadium on our way out of Forrest's home town.
Forrest told me that many of the Cardinal greats are immortalized outside of Busch Stadium, like this statue of Stan (who apparently was the Man) Musial. When I jokingly asked Forrest if it would be more appropriate to have built the statue with old Budweiser cans, he was not amused. When in St. Louis, one does not make jokes about the Stan the Man. Lesson learned. But what about Red Schoendienst? C'mon, Forrest, that punchline almost writes itself!
As we left St. Louis, we bid farewell the Gateway Arch, commonly known to math geeks as an inverted weighted catenary. C'mon, I can't be the only one who knows this. And by "knows this" I mean, "Googled it."
Sorry, Slugger, Day 05 won't take us to Louisville, but Indianapolis instead. I loved our time spent in St. Louis, but I still don't understand why Forrest won't show me where he lives. It's not like I'm a stalker or anything. I just want to see what he looks like when he sleeps.
Why did the screaming chicken cross the road? Because he's all about that hood life. How badly are you missing Forrest right now?
Everybody in the midwest is so polite. Construction took the road down to a single lane. Literally miles before the cones every car merged into the left lane, including Forrest in our 59 Sedan Delivery.
Since Shane and I are not from the midwest, we took this as an opportunity for a traffic-free couple of miles. It's almost impolite if we didn't do this. Not to mention that this mass consideration would never happen in California.
Once we reached the cones, we safely merged/forced our way into the number one lane.
While we waited for Forrest to catch up in the aftermath of his rather conservative style of merging, we spotted On the Rox, which was the perfect opportunity for me to get off the wagon. Don't worry, the wagon is what I call our 'Burban. Yes, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
After Forrest found that comically large Lite beer can yesterday, Shane's can envy prompted this pic. Your move, Forrest.
Inside On the Rox I wanted to get a pic of Shane shooting pool. Way to let me down, Shane. Clearly you know nothing about the sport of billiards, judging by your poor form holding the pointy wooden pokey thing.
Absolutely stunning entry sign spotted on the road to Indy. I've been thinking about implementing a similar treatment on my property. Currently it reads, "Apt. 201" and the "1" is finished in black electrical tape.
You know the sort of mall-crawling Jeeps normally found at Starbucks. The kind where armor-plated attitude and undercarriage neon outweigh off-road prowess. That's why it was refreshing to find one of our favorite long haulers posted up at this Terra Haute 'Bucks. Karl Schultz told us his ride of choice for this year's Power Tour is a '68 M715 Jeep with a military box bed conversion. He fashioned the roof while on Tour when the heat got to be too much and the GM Motor Medics were able to fix a crack in the frame, otherwise it's been smooth sailing. Gooooo, Karl.
Today on the drive Forrest called me to ask if we should stay on the official route or get on highway for a straight shot to Indy. I couldn't answer him because I was napping, er brainstorming (it's a creative process thing, you wouldn't understand). Shane was already driving, comparing the nav to the Tour driving directions, Facetiming with his girls and snacking on his Whole30 compliant snacks (it's important to read the wrappers, because you'll prefer to eat them instead of the "food" inside). I felt it prudent to hand him my phone since he had a better frame of reference in regards to "not getting lost," which befuddles me. Look at that skinny, little multi-tasker go!
Leave the road?! What kind of GPS direction is that? This would only work if where we were going we didn't need roads. Hey, McFly, you Irish bug.
Hello, Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis. Are you ready for some football? Well, then you've come to the wrong place. We're drag racing today.
Once we made it to the track, Forrest set to work cleaning up the 59 with our own Jeff Burton.
As for Nicholas, I don't even want to know what's happening here.
Kevin Tetz brought his Zed Sled Camaro by our Big Rig at Indy.
Some see this bottle as half-empty, but I see it in a more positive light, one in which it will fit into my checked luggage for the trip home.
Hmmm, as a photographer, I think I can pull of her technique. I'll just need something to put my hair up.
Chevy brought some big time firepower out to Indy.
Trust me, girl, I know exactly how you feel.
In addition to John Force, Courtney Force came to Indy.
And so did Robert Height. Talk about a trio of drag racing royalty.
Since the track was open, we thought we'd shake down some of our cars. You know, for science.
Classic Ford vs. Chevy battle between our own Jim Holloway and Steen Gilbertson. I'm just amazed Steen didn't have to pull over halfway down the track for a restroom break.
Were it not for a red light, Jim (right lane) would have won this one.
For their last grudge race, Steen let me ride shotgun. Everyone, but Mrs. Steen, check out this video of the run (Steen Drag 2 Small) You can see Steen slam hard on the brakes right before the finish line and then know immediately that he's in trouble (his 12.591 @ 90.50 broke him out of the tech bracket. The only thing I don't know is whether the woman who's going to "hammer him" is the timing steward or Mrs. Steen.
Dear Mrs. Steen, that's mud, not little bits of tire. Nothing a little R3 can't fix.
In keeping with the drag racing theme, James Schiefer challenged Shane to a battle of the 'Burbans.
It was a race for the ages (and it took about as long). But when the tire dust settled…
My man main, Shane took home the W in the "Shaneburban!"
Our friends at Magnuson took the drag racing portion of the Tour a bit more seriously, swapping in a set of drag radials.
Seemed to be working out well for them.
944 with a V8 bark…
And enough bite to back it up, something this Corvette owner learned the hard way.
That wraps up ourDay 05 coverage. Tomorrow will be our last leg of the Tour where we'll go 276 miles to Bowling Green, Kentucky. In the meantime, please enjoy our Gallery of Day 05 pics here.
