SORRY IF THIS AD HAS OFFENDED YOU IN ANYWAY. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE AD PLEASE NO FLAMES, JUST DELETE, YOU TAKE MORE TIME TO COMPLAIN THEN TO JUST DELETE.
Now to explain how the whole process works. First of all, you tell us how many e-mail addresses you would like us to send your advertisement to--you may either e-mail, fax, or snail-mail a hard copy of your ad to us. 

We will then place your ad in our database so it will be ready to be sent out anytime thereafter. Say for instance you wanted 1-million e-mails sent--once we receive your payment it will take about  3-4 days to be completed, unless you desire a more lengthy time frame, or need it done faster.

Right about now you might be wondering why you should choose us above the competitors. Well, we can sum it up for you in one simple word: Assurance. We are able to e-mail you an uploaded log of your sending in order to provide you with verification. These maillogs will display the time and date of the mailings as well as the actual e-mail addresses that your ad was sent to along with a "recipient okay" tag. This tag will confirm the address.  We do not send you a whole log of the mailing, but just a portion of it, so you can see that we are doing the work. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN IN BUSINESS IN CA FOR OVER 2 YEARS.

In addition to this, we offer targeted lists just starting at $400.00 for 1 million. Finally, I must inform you that your ad, if being sent to AOL, may have all the HTML, colored and enlarged fonts as well as colored background. When you are ready to order, just contact us and we will e-mail you an work order for you to sign and send with your payment.   For the target lists it is best that you call or e-mail back to us letting us know what type of target and we will let you know if we have the target you are looking for.  

Some of our targets that we have are: business opportunity seekers, cigar smokers, people seeking health products, homeowners, all females, all males, adult site seekers, some of the major states in the US, online purchasers, singles, golf related interests, sports fanatics, please call for more info, most targets are on request basis, it really just depends on what you are searching for.  Our targets are gathered by search keywords or member directory data bases like from AOL, Bigfoot or Mindspring, etc.  Call for more info 209-669-3628.  Target types are subject to change.

It's all quite simple. 

The bottom line to effective bulk e-mailing is quality of the service and what it has to offer the customer. 

You can make your dreams come true with bulk e-mail--allow us to set you on your way. 

We offer the following prices: 

*General AOL Lists or other ISPs 
$200.00 for 1-million e-mails sent.

How toxic is Benzene? 

What type of harm can Benzene do to the human body?

What part of the human body will Benzene causes most harm? Brain? Liver?
Lungs? Kidneys?

In what way Benzene damages human body via ingestion (eating), via inhaling
Benzene fumes (breathing), and via skin contact (touching)?

What will Benzene fumes do to people with asthma problem? Will it cause
asthmatic attacks?

Can anyone here tells me where to find the information, and can anyone

Traditional models of group selection (island model and haystack model) are 
unrealistic or inadequate for explaining social behavior in various animals 
(and humans?).  

I am therefore making computer simulations of a model of group selection based 
on territorial groups stealing land from neighbour groups. To my knowledge, 
such a model has not been investigated mathematically before. My simulation 
software is available for free (see below).  

The scenario is:
The population is divided into mainly endogamous groups (demes). Each group has 
a territory. The size of the group (number of members) depends on the carrying 
capacity, which is proportional to the area of the territory.  

A group can conquer land from a neighbour group. Some individuals have a 
genetically controlled trait called 'altruism' that makes them invest more in 
defending territory or conquering new territory than others (egoists) do.  

The ability of a group to conquer land depends on:
- the size of the group
- the group fitness
- random factors
Group fitness is determined by the fraction of phenotypic altruists in the 
group. The altruism gene increases group fitness, but decreases individual 
fitness.  

In order to make the simulations as realistic as possible, I would like to ask 
several ethological questions: 

When a group becomes too big it will split up into two:
1. does the maximum size before it splits up depend on group fitness?
2. does it split up into two groups of equal size, or one big group and a small 
new colony?  

An open question is what happens when a group becomes too small. I can imagine 
the following possibilities: 
3a. all members die or fail to reproduce
3b. some or all members survive and become assimilated by whichever group takes 
its land.  
3c. some members survive and flee into a neighbour group other than the one 
that took its land.  

And what happens to the land that belonged to the perished group:
4a. it is divided between all neighbour groups
4b. it is taken by the smallest neighbour group
4c. it is taken by the biggest neighbour group
4d. it is taken by the conqueror that last took a piece of the land

Group selection is very sensitive to the flow of genes between groups. 
Therefore I want to make the simulation of migration as realistic as possible. 
Therefore some more questions: 
5.  Do males and females have the same migration rate?
6.  Do immigrants have a lower chance of reproducing than native group members? 
(and do their children, if any, inherit their low rank?) 
7.  Does the number of successful emigrants from a group depend on the size of 
the group, the group fitness, or a reproductive potential in excess of the 
carrying capacity of the territory?  
8.  Does the number of successful immigrants into a group depend on the size of 
the group, the group fitness, or a carrying capacity in excess of number of 
group members?  
9.  Do migrants only go to neighbour groups or can they travel unlimited 
distances?  

At last I want to ask:
10.  Which species would such a model apply to? The species must show group 
territoriality and the groups must be largely endogamous.  
11.  Which of the alternative variants of the model would best fit these 
species?  

My simulation program can be downloaded from my web site: 
www.agner.org/evolution.  It includes various models such as island model, 
haystack model, and group territoriality. The program runs on a standard PC 
(Windows 95). There are several facilities for graphic display of results and 
file output, and the program has extensive help facilities to guide you. 
Detailed documentation and source code is available.  

This program can also be used for simulating Wright's shifting balance model of 
evolution through punctuated equilibria and speciation.

Hello.

Thank you for writing to me, and thank you again for your willingness to
share your extensive info on the topic of Benzene contamination with me.

My online enquiry about Benzene was prompted by someone building a gas
station right next to a primary school building, which houses over one
thousand little schoolchildren.

At first I had only the fear of explosion (of the gas station) which could
injured or killed the schoolchildren studying in a building next door, but
when I was told that gasoline contains Benzene (among other toxic
chemicals), and Benzene has been shown to cause various types of cancers,
like Leukemia and bone marrow abnormalities, my concern regarding the case
where someone building a gas station right next door to a school building
only increases.

Right now, I am trying to gather all types of evidences, from the explosive
properties of gasoline (and cases of actual explosions of gas stations as
references), to toxicological studies of gasoline - and all the chemical
compounds that are found in gasoline - along with all the research data that
have indicated that chemicals like Benzene causes cancers in human bodies.

I am trying to gather all these information so that I can show them to the
PTA of the school, the local council and all the related authorities who
have granted approval for someone (I am still tracking the identity of the
person) building the gas station.

All I know now is the gas station is going to be a Shell gas station, and I
have tried to obtain data from www.shell.com, regarding the chemical make-up
of their gasoline, but so far they have stonewalled me.

My concern is this - the students studying in that school building are
LITTLE KIDS, and they have to spend up to 7 hours in and around that
building _every_ school day, for at least six years of their lives.

Children's body are not as strong as adults, they are more supcetable to all
types of immunological diseases, and if gasoline somehow have negative
effect in human beings, I am worried that some students may come down with
some irrepairable ailment/diseases in the future.

To summarize what I am doing:

	I am trying to stop the building of
	a gas station which is located right
	next to a school building, and I am
	trying to gather all the information
	which can show the danger of placing
	a gas station right next door to a
	school building, including the toxic
	and carcinogenic effect of chemicals
	like Benzene.

Sir, I hope that you can help me, by providing me with whatever information
that you have. The more info I have to backup my claim that gasoline station
isn't a good neighbor to a school, the stronger case I can make.

Would you help me, sir? I'd appreciate any and all help from anyone who
cares.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Lisa

Hello.

Thank you for writing to me, and thank you again for your willingness to
share your extensive info on the topic of Benzene contamination with me.

My online enquiry about Benzene was prompted by someone building a gas
station right next to a primary school building, which houses over one
thousand little schoolchildren.

At first I had only the fear of explosion (of the gas station) which
could injured or killed the schoolchildren studying in a building next
door, but when I was told that gasoline contains Benzene (among other
toxic chemicals), and Benzene has been shown to cause various types of
cancers, like Leukemia and bone marrow abnormalities, my concern
regarding the case where someone building a gas station right next door
to a school building only increases.

Right now, I am trying to gather all types of evidences, from the
explosive properties of gasoline (and cases of actual explosions of gas
stations as references), to toxicological studies of gasoline - and all
the chemical compounds that are found in gasoline - along with all the
research data that have indicated that chemicals like Benzene causes
cancers in human bodies.

I am trying to gather all these information so that I can show them to
the PTA of the school, the local council and all the related authorities
who have granted approval for someone (I am still tracking the identity
of the person) building the gas station.

All I know now is the gas station is going to be a Shell gas station,
and I have tried to obtain data from www.shell.com, regarding the
chemical make-up of their gasoline, but so far they have stonewalled me.

My concern is this - the students studying in that school building are
LITTLE KIDS, and they have to spend up to 7 hours in and around that
building _every_ school day, for at least six years of their lives.

Children's body are not as strong as adults, they are more supcetable to
all types of immunological diseases, and if gasoline somehow have
negative effect in human beings, I am worried that some students may
come down with some irrepairable ailment/diseases in the future.

To summarize what I am doing:

	I am trying to stop the building of
	a gas station which is located right
	next to a school building, and I am
	trying to gather all the information
	which can show the danger of placing
	a gas station right next door to a
	school building, including the toxic
	and carcinogenic effect of chemicals
	like Benzene.

Sir, I hope that you can help me, by providing me with whatever
information that you have. The more info I have to backup my claim that
gasoline station isn't a good neighbor to a school, the stronger case I
can make.

Would you help me, sir? I'd appreciate any and all help from anyone who
cares.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Lisa

Health risks will be maximized by snorting or drinking gasoline.
However, natural seeps of crude (some as light as "white gasoline") do
indeed exist in many locations around the globe, none of which are
likely to cause problems for you. The scenario about which you worry
exists between these extrema (and towards the latter). Benzene is
dangerous, but then so is standing in front of a moving train.

http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemicals/chem_profiles/benzene/benzene.htm

International standards and all the research indicate that there will
be no problem for the school children, any more than for kids playing
around, e.g., the Sespe Creek seeps in California.

The 7 year old son of one of our friends died a HORRID death from
A-plactic anemia due to benzene. He hated bugs and during the Texas
summers was always spraying himself with OFF and other repellents. He
had massive, direct exposure to benzene and benzene-related chemicals
in the bug repellents. They lived in Texas city next to a gasoline
refinery. It stank (and still does) all the time. But no other kids
came down with A-plastic anemia. His siblings were and are just fine.
So it was not the gasoline or the refinery or any of the other
"hot-button" possibilities, although these provided ample cause for
everyone to get into an uproar. It was OFF. So, the makers of OFF
apparently changed their recipe because several people came down with
the same or similar malady.

It did not help our friends.... but I learned alot about what can and
can not happen via exposure to toxic chemicals.

You'd thus expect that people working in and around gas stations would
have a **MUCH** higher incidence of cancer and leukemia, etc. But that
is not the case. People make a career out of tracking this sort of
thing.... and no one has found any data to suggest a higher morbidity
rate for people working at gas stations compared to other jobs.

It passed whatever zoning laws are in effect for your area. Check with
the county commissioners or whoever approved of the site. They had to
run an environmental impact report. That report will contain all the
data you need to either whip yourself into a real frenzy, or find the
evil people responsible for building a gas station 6 inches from the
noses of all the little kids in the school, or why it is OK to build
gas stations 6 inches from the noses of little kids in schools, etc.

While you are at it, pay attention to how far other sorts of
businesses have to be from the school site as well. The presence of a
bar or a strip joint within eye-shot of the school is IMO a far
greater potential evil than a gas station (unless the station becomes
the source of school-time candy, cokes, cigarettes, hard or soft porn,
place to "hang-out", etc.).
