I'm doing this survey to see how women commonly react. These following questions are for people who respond yes.

1. Read this following paragraph please:
Rohypnol, GHB, and Ecstasy have been used in date rape and sexual assault. The drugs are odorless and nearly tasteless, so they can be easily added to a drink without a woman's knowledge. They cause the victim may pass out or be unable to fight off unwanted sexual advances. They also cause memory loss, so victims may not remember what happened while they were under the influence of the drug.
1. Did you know about this?
2. Did you ever think of this?
3. Would you still take a drink after reading this?
4. Would you change anything?

i have noticed a woman I am working with keeps mimicking things i do. she is educated and in her late 20's. for examples

1 when I get a clean hair cut, within the next few days i see she has done her hair in ways I never seen her do before.

2 when i start to wear certain type of clothing (ie checkered) - i notice in the new few days she wears checkered clothing which i never seen her wear

3 i once told her unique people makes me tick, since then she will go out of her way to show me she does unique things (uses the microwave to heat her coffee when one hot water tap is broken, when one would usually use the other taps).

These actions led me to think perhaps she would like to talk - but when I do she tells me she she is busy and already has a partner. I'm not sure where the partner thing came from, but fair enough, i decide to leave her alone but she keeps greeting me and mimicking me and following me at work.

i'm a little confused by this persons actions.

it listed "obsession, compulsion" as two possible aftereffects CSA (child sexual abuse) and I have a question about the context? like, obsession and compulsion as in OCD? i am curious about this because I am OCD, i know i wasn't ever sex abused but i am curious about the similarities. and to any survivors of sexual abuse i am not trying to compare myself, or say i've been through anything as bad, i just have a question about that one part of it.

Suppose the marginal utility per last dollar spent on cookies is greater than the marginal utility per last dollar spent on milk. Assuming a consumer purchases only cookies and milk, what should the consumer do if she wishes to increase her total utility from the consumption of these two goods? Why?

I wonder whether it's really true that a guy become so mean to a girl to whom he likes. I have a really bad experience about this guy whom I met due to my job. he was so mean--verbally attacking me, taking every single word personally, interpreting in twisted way, etc. We've hardly known each other before we actually met.

Also, in my previous experience, I saw a simillar case like this; I was attending a technical training class, and there was a female IT person from Finland. A lecturer was an English man, and he was so mean to her. Each time he threw a hard question, he picked this finnish lady up, asked to answer, and made her embarrassed when she couldn't answer it. Surely, they'd not known each other before the class.

So, both guys I mentioned above, did they somehow like me(I'm a girl, too) or the finnish lady? And, they took behavior opposing against their feelings?? Or, did they really hate us? People can hate people at the moment they see them for the first time??

As the city population grows, crime increases. The city has the choice of hiring more officers, or installing security cameras. Here are the details:
- Each prevented crime is worth $1000 to the city.
~ Each police officer would be paid $20,000/year.
~ Each security camera would cost $8,000/year.
~ Number of CrimesPrevented Per Year-Number of Officers Hired:
21 - 1, 47 - 2, 76 - 3, 104 - 4, 128 - 5, 149 - 6, 165 - 7, 178 - 8, 188 - 9, 195 - 10.
~ Number of Crimes Prevented Per Year -Number of Camera Installations: 2 - 1, 9 - 2, 18 - 3, 26 - 4, 32 - 5.
Here are the questions:
~ What is the marginal product and marginal revenue product of labor for police officers? ~ What is the optimal number of officers to be hired if the city only hires police officers?
~ What is the marginal product and marginal revenue product for the cameras?
~ What is the optimal number of cameras if the city decides to only use cameras?
