Q&A: Do electric treadmills and manual treadmills have the same design?
Question by Confused: Do electric treadmills and manual treadmills have the same design?
I bought a manual treadmill. It has a double-flywheel on the front, which is supposed to make it more stable. However, it had a bent flywheel on the left side, which wobbled and made it go to the right constantly, no matter how much I adjusted the belt on each side. I called the manufacturer…they sent me a new flywheel. Took a week. Except for this time, it was bent on the same side as the first, and also slightly bent on the other. They don’t seem to want to answer for that now, but I’m going to get my money back for this thing, one way or another.
My main question is…do electric treadmills work in a similar way to these manual ones? Obviously, they have a motor and it’s ‘easier’ to walk on them because of that…but how are they designed? Flywheels? Mainly I’m wondering if I have to go through all of this ‘make sure each side of the back and front of the treadmill belt line up exactly’ bs. I have a flawed product and replacement part, for my current manual treadmill.
While the manual treadmill that I have would have adjusted properly had the parts not been bent from the manufacturer. But I also discovered that I don’t like the whole ‘adjust each side of the belt on the front and back’. Are electric treadmills easier than manuals, to adjust? I’m thinking about going electric…I’m convinced this manual treadmill company can’t do jack.

Chinese product recall……what products exactly are affected?
Question by Riley: Chinese product recall……what products exactly are affected?
Is it just fisher price affected by this chinese product recall or is it a whole range of baby items?
decided to see what stuff I have for my new baby that is made in China.
One item was a painted plastic dinnerware set. The company it is made by is babycie.com, a company based in California.
So I sent them a very polite email asking if they knew for sure that this product was safe and he sent me back an email saying ‘of course it is safe!’
So am I supposed to just take his word for it?
The silly man obviously got very offended that I was asking but honestly does he think I am going to let my child eat off a plate that has paint with lead in it.
So I just emailed him back and asked how he could be so sure and who was his chinese vendor. I suggested that if he was unable to confirm for sure that his products were safe then I would enlist the help of channel 7 news to investigate instead!
does anyone know if its just fisher price affected or where I could get that info. thanx

I think you’re wise to be concerned. I certainly wouldn’t trust him. I advise you to consider removing all Chinese made toys and other products from your home, especially any item that your child uses regularly. I hate to sound jingoistic, but these people clearly do not have the same standards for quality control that we expect in America. I am appalled a the rash of recalls we’ve seen recently involving products made in China.
Here is a photo list of the Fisher-Price toys the company has recalled in cooperation with the United States Consumer Products Safety Commission:
http://service.mattel.com/us/recall/39054_IVR.asp?prod=
Here is the official notice from the CPSC:
http://service.mattel.com/us/recall/39054_IVR.asp?prod=
The CPSC is also the best place to go for information about other recalls, including toys, household products and electronics.

Here is another toy that has been recalled recently. Can you guess where it was manufactured? Right, China! Jeepers!

My friend and I drove 5 hours to California so I could install three American Standard 16 SEER Two Stage straight cool split systems for someone. These were to cool rooms within a warehouse with a high heat load from lighting and high humidity load as well. The lighting isn’t always on and we need to dehumidify as well so that’s why I used 2 stage with variable speed blowers. I used the American Standard with the 2 stage Scroll compressor for RELIABILITY as it is my opinion that the design of the Trane 19i (and Am Standard equivalent) was not good with the fact it stops and stars recip compressors all day versus just cycling an “unloader” valve in the compressor. So Friday night we get to Cali and unload the supplies form the van. Go to bed at midnight. Got one hour sleep because the hotel’s A/C unit kept tripping it’s GFI (I so wanted to hack that thing off). Got up early Sat morning and drank some energy drinks. Installed the three air handlers. The 4 ton system I got the ductwork done, line sets done, press tested, evacuated and started up by Friday night. Got the two 5 ton systems line sets done and on nitrogen test. Went to the hotel. Got 4 hours sleep. Woke up Sunday AM. Drank more energy drinks. Evacuated and charged the two 5 tons systems. Got ductwork done on the two 5 ton systems. Everything working like a champ. Drove home with friend and back home in Arizona by Sunday night.
Ivor Van Heerden – The Scientist
More at www.levees.org Professor Ivor Van Heerden helped create the storm surge model that warned of New Orleans vulnerability to levee failure. His work and his efforts to publicize this science was responsible for the saving of many thousands of lives. After the levee system failure – until the BP well disaster, the biggest engineering failure in US history – Van Heerden pointed out that the levees failed because of poor design, constructions and maintenance. For this, he was threatened by LSU administrators who said they did not want to lose US Army Corps of Engineer funding. He was in fact fired without stated reason or cause and LSU continues to get grants from the US Army Corps of Engineers which continues to act without meaningful oversight putting thousands of lives and billions of dollars of property at risk.

Are you good with probability Questions?10 points and more?
Question by Emperor: Are you good with probability Questions?10 points and more?
This is my last problem and I’m not sure how to solve this:
A large consumer company ran a television advertisement for one of its soap products.On the basis of a survey that was conducted, probabilities were assigned to the following events.
B=individual purchased the product
S=individual recalls seeing the advertisement
B?S=individual purchased the product and recalls seeing the advertisement
The probabilities assigned were
P(B)=.20
P(S)=.40
P(B?S)=.12
a.)What is the probability of an individual’s purchasing the product given that the individual recalls seeing the advertisement?Does seeing the advertisement increase the probability that the individual will purchase the product? As a decision maker, would you recommend continuing the advertisement(assuming that the cost is reasonable)?
b.)Assume the individuals who do not purchase the company’s soap product buy from its competitors.What would be your estimate of the company’s market share?Would you expect that continuing the advertisement will increase the company’s market share?Why or why not?
c.)The company also tested another advertisement and assigned it values of P(S)=.30 and P(B?S)=.10. What is P(B/S) for this other advertisement?Which advertisement seems to have had the bigger effect on customer purchases?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Free computer help and Spanish help if you help me out with this.That is if you ever need it.And your ten points of course.:)
Thank you Isaac. I appreciate it.
Best answer:
Answer by Isaac N
P[B/S] = P[B and S] / P[S]
This is about all you need to do the problem. For the first question, I got that the probability of an individual purchasing the product given that the individual recalls seeing the advertisement is 0.3.
It’s interesting how you might interpret this result. We know that if a person “recalls” seeing the advertisement, that this increases the probability of the person purchasing the soap from 0.2 to 0.3. However, that does not mean that if a person saw the advertisement that it increases the probability of them purchasing the soap.
There may be people that saw the advertisement and forgot about it. Chances are, this demographic is less likely to purchase the soap because they found its advertisement forgettable. Therefore, it may even out, and the probability of a person purchasing the soap, given that the person has seen the advertisement (regardless of whether they remember it), might not increase.
So the calculations are easy, but interpretation of the results might be complicated.
Personally, I would give the following answers:
Seeing the advertisement does not necessarily increase the probability of the person purchasing the soap. I therefore cannot reccomend whether or not to continue the advertisement.
In the second question, I would estimate the market share to be 20%, assuming that everyone buys soap. If competitors also run advertisements, then it is not clear whether continuing advertisements will increase market share, though it may keep it from decreasing.
In the third question, P[B/S] = 0.33, so it seems that the second advertisement had a bigger effect. However, this is not necessarily the case because we again do not know the behavior of the people who saw the advertisement and forgot about it.

VINTAGE NEWS10: Thruway bridge collapses over Schoharie Creek (1987)
