can someone help me summarize this, i am so stress, can’t write anything, i need help please?
Question by : can someone help me summarize this, i am so stress, can’t write anything, i need help please?
when it comes to the safety of young chidren, fire is a parent’s nightmare. just the thought of their young ones trapped in their cribs and beds by a raging nocturnal blaze is enough to make most mothers and fathers take every precaution to ensure their children’s safety. little wonder that when fire-retardant children’s pajamas first hit the market, they proved an overnight success. within a few short years more than 200 millÃon pairs were spld, and the sále of millÃon more were all but guaranteed. for their manufacturers, the future could not have been brighter. then, like a bolt from the blue, came word that the pajamas were killér. the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) moved quickly to ban their sale and recall millions of pairs. Reason: the pajamas contained the flame-retardant chemÃcal Tris (2,3-dibromoprophyl), which had been found to cause kidney cancer in children. because of its toxicity, the sleepwear couldnt even thrown away, let alone sold. indeed, the CPSC left no doubt about how the pajamas were to be disposed of buried or burned or used as industrial wiping cloths. whereas just months earlier the manufacturers of the Tris-impregnated pajamas couldnt fill orders fast enough, suddenly they were worrying about how to get rid of the millions of pairs now sitting in warehouses. soon, however, ads began appearing in the classified pages of WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY. “Tris,tris… we will buy any fabric containing Tris,” read on. another said, “Tris- we will purchase any large quantities of garments containing Tris.” the ads had been placed by exporters, who began buying up the pajamas, usually at 10 to 30 percent of the normal wholesale price. their intent was clear: to dump the carcinogenic pajamas on overseas markets. Tris is not the only êxampl of dumping. there were the 450,000 baby pacifiers, of the type known to have caused choking deaths, that were exported for sale overseas, and the 400 Iraqis who died and 5000 who were hospitalized after eating wheat and barley treated with a U.S.-banned organic mercury fungicide. Winstrol, a synthetic male hormone that had been found to stunt the growth of American children, was made available in Brazil as an appetite stimulant for children. DowElanco, although the Environment Protection Agency forbade its sale to U.S. farmers because Galant may cause cancer. after the U.S Food and Drug Administration banned the painkiller dipyrone because it can cause a fatal blood disorder, Winthrop Product continued to sell dipyrone in Mexico City. Manufacturers that dump products abroad clearly are motivated by profit, or at least by the hope of avoiding financial losses resulting from having to withdraw a product from the U.S market. for government and health agencies that cooperate in the exporting of dangerous products, sometimes the motives are more complex. for example, when researchers dôcumented the dangers of the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device-among the adverse reactions were pelvic inflammation, blood poisoning. tubal pregnancies, and uterine perforations-its manufacturer, A.H.Robins Co., began losing its domestic market. as a result, the company worked out a deal with the office of population within the U.S Agency for International Development, whereby AID bought thoúsand of the devices at a reduced price for use in population-control programs in forty-two countries. why do government and population control agencies approve for sale and use overseas a birth control device proved dangerous in the U.S? They say their motives are humanitarian. because the rate of dying in childbirth is high in third world countries, almost any birth control device is preferable to none. analogous arguments are used to defend to export of pesticides and other products judged too dangerous for use in the U.S: foreign countries should vague or ambiguous or too technical to understand.but even if communication procedures were improved or the export of dangerous products forbidden, there are ways that companies can circumvent these threats to their profit- for example, by simply changing the name of the product or by exporting the individual ingredients of a product dumped. the U.S does prohibit drugs banned in this country, but sidestepping the law is not difficult. ” unless the package bursts open on the clock,” one drug company executive observes, “you have no chance of being caught”. unfortunately for us, in the case of pesticides, the effects of overseas dumping are now coming home. in U.S the EPA bans all crop uses of ?DT and dieldrin, which kill fish, cause tumór in animals, and build up in the patty tissue of human. it also bán heptachlor, chlordane, leptophos, endrin, and many other pesticides, including 2,4,5-T (which contains the deadly poÃson dioxin, the active ingredient in Agent Orange, the notorious defoliant used in Vietnam) because they are dangerous to human being. no law, however, prohibits the sale of ?DT and these other U.S-banned pesticides overse
continue “no law..overseas, where thanks to corporate dumping they are routinely used in agriculture. in one three-months period, for example, U.S chemical companies exported 3.9 million pounds of banned and withdrawn pesticides. the FDA now estimates, through spot checks, that 10% of our imported food is contaminated with residues of banned pesticides. and the FDA’s most commonly used testing procedure does not even check for 70% of the pesticides known to cause cancer. with the doubling of exports of Mexican produce to the U.S since the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the problem of pêsticid-laced food has only grown worse.

Exactly what do you mean by summarize, it would be helpful if you could say what your word count is for the summary and the style your summary is required to be written in such as APA format. If you can answer that I might be able to help you out.

Can you help me with my last Probability question?
Question by Emperor: Can you help me with my last Probability question?
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.And your ten points of course.:)

Hi,
The probabilities assigned were
P(B)=.20
P(S)=.40
P(B?S)=.12
a.)What is the probability of an individual 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)?
.12 bought out of the .40 who remember seeing the ad.
.12/.40 = 30% bought <==ANSWER When only 30% were persuaded to buy their soap, the company may want to reconsider investing their money in these ads. 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? 20% is the probability of someone buying their soap, from P(B) = .20. Would you expect that continuing the advertisement will increase the company's market share? Not likely Why or why not? While overall market share was 20%, the 30% of people remembering the ads who bought the soap does show an increase in purchasing, so it was effective. But it could have been a LOT more effective, so I'd explore other ideas. 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? .10/.30 = 33% bought Which advertisement seems to have had the bigger effect on customer purchases? The new ad seems to have a slightly bigger effect on customers. I hope that helps!! :-)

Can ANYone help me design a UFo type vehicle with jet engines providing vertical takeoff without rotary blades?
Question by blakedellefave: Can ANYone help me design a UFo type vehicle with jet engines providing vertical takeoff without rotary blades?
Not talkin helicopters. More along the lines of UFO alien vehicle type designs that use micro jet engines for lift. Only need it to fit 1 person in cockpit with glass dome for windshield and instrument reading board to hold portable gps system and CB radio. Preferably a more modern design. Doesn’t have to b proffesional evn a picture will do. No design is stupid. * all design welcome example=
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=h…
I have two controls, 1 controls the stabilization engine and the other one controls the 2 engines for thrust
When you push forward on the thrust controller they go from pointing straight down to pointing forward or backward – if you move the control left or right it moves the engines in either direction
The Other engine is for stabilizing /keeping it from crashing on takeoff
and has a separate control
ALL three microjet engines used in takeoff

They have holes in the bottom to allow water to run through – why though do they not have holes right to the edge of the base……water is always left there so one can never really have things strained properly.

Get a real attorney. No one here will file a tort claim on her behalf. Call your local bar association and ask for a referral. You can tell them the story in one sentence and get that referral. Take care !
