What the Asbestos Companies Knew About Mesothelioma

The asbestos industry caused a great amount of pain to many families by ignoring the startling evidence that asbestos exposure is harmful and often deadly. All of the suffering could have been avoided because the asbestos companies knew a lot more than they informed the public about. The companies considered the protection of the industry more important than the lives of their workers. Back in the 1920s, a large variety of medical articles showed that there was scarring on the lungs of asbestos factory workers. This evidence was revealed during autopsies of those workers. Asbestos companies had full knowledge of these articles, but chose to ignore the facts presented because the public reaction to such information would kill the asbestos industry. Further studies in the 1930s revealed that asbestos miners and factory workers were indeed dying of lung disease and cancer. There was enough evidence to support an undeniable correlation between asbestos exposure and the development of mesothelioma. Sadly, the companies decided to suppress this overwhelming evidence and in a series of letters between asbestos companies. In these same letters, executives revealed how far the companies were willing to go in order to protect their own interests. These letters that were circulated in the 1930s are called the “Sumner Simpson Papers.” In these letters, certain asbestos company executives made statements such as “the less said about asbestos, the better off we are.” Owens Illinois and Owens Corning Fiberglas conducted studies in the 1940s, attempting to prove that asbestos exposure was harmless, and save the asbestos industry. The studies revealed the exact opposite. They showed that exposure to asbestos was indeed quite harmful and even deadly. In light of the studies, the companies attempted to force scientists to change their conclusions. Asbestos companies had full knowledge of the potential harm that could be caused by exposure to asbestos. Scientists and studies confirmed that there was a direct relationship between asbestos exposure and early death. Asbestos companies first tried to cover up the knowledge and silence scientists who conducted studies showing the harmful effects of asbestos exposure. Once the information about asbestos came to the public, these same companies attempted to deny having knowledge that people simply working around asbestos-containing products would suffer. The companies denied knowledge in order to avoid lawsuits. The simple fact is that asbestos-containing products cause serious injury and often lead to premature death. For this reason, mesothelioma lawsuits are quite valid and are in no way frivolous. Lung disease, lung cancer, and mesothelioma all stem from asbestos exposure. Many lives could have been saved if the asbestos companies were willing to release the information that they had access to.

道歉時露胸部是常識 根本就是一部日本A片裡的台詞

道歉時露胸部是常識 根本就是一部日本A片裡的台詞 【 道歉時露胸部是常識 】道歉時露胸部是常識,道歉時露胸部是常識 根本就是一部日本A片裡的台詞,15日一早,google關鍵字排行榜赫然出現兒童不宜的「道歉時露胸部是常識」,到底,哪國的文化是要人袒胸露背的道歉?原來,道歉時露胸部是常識是從AV女優秋山杏奈作品裡的台詞,大概是不少網友們想找該部作品來「欣賞欣賞」,卻只記得這句「道歉時露出胸部是常識吧!」 道歉時露胸部是常識 ,道歉時要露出胸部是基本常識吧!?15日google關鍵字上,竟然出現如此另類的「基本禮儀規則」,道歉時露胸部是常識 讓網友驚覺自己原來「不禮貌」了很久,在瘋狂傳閱與點閱的結果下,讓此瞬間衝上排行榜第一名,道歉時露胸部是常識 盤據寶座一整天。事實上,早在2月初時,該道歉時露胸部是常識 「禮儀」也曾出現在google關鍵字排行榜上。 Google搜尋器有個很棒的關鍵字功能,比方說,當你鍵入「太」字,即彈出「太陽報」、「太陽的女兒」等熱門搜尋。有趣的是,要是輸入「道」字,你猜它會聯想到甚麼?原來高踞首位的,赫然是「道歉時露出胸部是常識吧」,一共有四萬多項之譜呢。 事實上,這個怪現象已非一朝一夕之事,看來並不像是黑客入侵Google,亦不似是有缺德網民惡搞,問題是,道歉不是來個九十度鞠躬即可麼,何以非要打出白花花的奶子示人才算有誠意呢?此外,為何有Sorry Sir之稱的特警成沒有騷出胸毛,又從來沒有見過鄭汝樺開記招當眾寬衣呢?道歉時露出胸部到底是哪個民族的風尚,又是哪門子的常識,一直令網民煞費思量,即使找個人類學教授來,也會啞口無言,說不出一個究竟來。 有網民幾經考證梳理,謎題終於解開了,原來這個常識有經有典,大有出處,乃係來自AV女優秋山杏奈主演的一部片子內的經典台詞,那場戲講述她當一個影棚小場務,第一天上班便遲到,連累工作人員苦候多時,大夥色中餓鬼不吐不快,要求秋山杏奈作出如此一個有意思的道歉。 由此可見,這個年頭的常識實在超乎我們的認知範圍,正如有中學狗崽男女深夜打野戰,給巡警捉個正着,如果官老爺肯多吃點人間煙火,稍為與時並進的話,便不會提出「夜晚十一點唔係讀書嘅咩?」這個問題,所以嘛,我看到現今少女處理骨肉的方法一點也不詫異,因為「把初生小孩扔到垃圾桶是常識吧」。 道歉時露胸部是常識 根本就是一部日本A片裡的台詞 經調查後...

蜜卓德‧貝納,女傭蜜卓德‧貝納爆阿諾做愛喜不戴套【生活照】

蜜卓德‧貝納,女傭蜜卓德‧貝納爆阿諾做愛喜不戴套【生活照】 扯!女僕蜜卓德‧貝納爆阿諾不戴套 與妻子差一周懷孕 阿諾史瓦辛格坦承婚外情還有私生子,美國多家媒體展開人肉搜索,點名「小三」是阿諾的拉丁裔女管家蜜卓德‧貝納。她的數張生活照十八日曝光,包括她和十四歲兒子的合照,小孩的模樣跟整型前的阿諾頗為神似。 美國加州前州長阿諾史瓦辛格(Arnold Schwarzenegger)日前坦承婚外情與私生子,而對象就是在豪宅服務20多年、50歲的女僕蜜卓德‧貝納(Mildred Baena),並有14歲、像未整型前的阿諾的私生子。誇張的是,阿諾的妻子瑪麗亞史萊佛(Maria Shriver)當年懷孕,巴埃納也幾乎在同一時間懷孕,美國八卦雜誌指出,巴埃納向友人爆料阿諾喜歡在豪宅客廳內,不戴套與她性愛,阿諾妻子在今年1月才知道10多年的不倫戀,宣告在本(5)月9日分居,並搬出豪宅。  據瞭解3人共在一個屋簷下,「已婚」又懷孕的巴埃納當時未住進豪宅內,瑪麗亞雖然每天都與她相見,也看到她懷孕,但也沒多想什麼,巴埃納的小孩出生後,仍繼續在豪宅工作10多年,到今(2011)年1月才離職,私生子在她工作期間也不時會出現在豪宅內,瑪麗亞隨後也從阿諾口中得知他與女僕有染,女僕與14歲私生子的照片最近也在網路上流傳。 女傭蜜卓德‧貝納爆阿諾做愛喜不戴套!傳另有19歲私生子 「魔鬼」阿諾婚外情雪球越滾越大,全美都在猜「蜜卓德‧貝納」究竟為何人時,八卦網站就公佈了情婦就是家中女傭蜜卓德‧貝納(Mildred Baena),她曾向友人透露阿諾性愛時不喜歡戴套、喜歡激情性愛!但現在又傳出他和私人專機空姐黛咪圖希格納特(Tammy Tousignant)也有一腿、同樣產下私生子,但消息被黛咪否認。 阿諾與家中女傭巴埃納婚外情產下私生子的消息曝光後引發喧然大波,該外遇對象與小孩照片也相繼曝光。據悉,她在阿諾家幫忙超過20年,兩人卻有長達10多年的婚外情,巴埃納更曾向友人透露「阿諾做愛時喜歡不戴套、而且熱愛激情,我們都是白天在豪宅裡頭發生關係。」還語出炫耀地說「而且從來沒有被發現過。」 根據報導指出,這名蜜卓德‧貝納女傭周薪折合台幣就已高達3.5萬,私生子出生後,阿諾自然而然也知道這是自己的種,因此對巴埃納更好、更大方了。只是魔鬼阿諾的風流史不僅於此...
