Can I put styrofoam in recycle bins?
Styrofoam is one of those materials that doesn’t break down but it can be reused if done properly. If your municipality has bins specifically for styrofoam by all means put it there but never, NEVER put it into bins for recycling of other materials. If burned it produces a highly toxic gas so you would not want it mixed with other materials that are processed with heat.It can be used for packing material, for mixing with soil to keep it aerated, and one of the most interesting uses I have seen is using it to make styrofoam/cement blocks and girders for building.Just as an aside, a home built using these styrofoam/cement forms can be put up in a day, is insulated against both heat and cold and can be carved. I would think it might be an inexpensive way to provide housing for the homeless but there could be drawbacks of which I am unaware.
What are some of the best examples of "beauty with brains"?
Raghuram RajanI thought of writing an introduction myself ,but Shobha De has done an awesome job already, so I am just quoting her ."The guy's put 'sex' back into the limp Sensex. That makes him seriously hot. So hot, in fact, he has made it to the Amul hoarding (a first for a chap in his lofty position). But nobody is calling the man a Billboard Bimbo. You know why? Because this man knows his onions.And right now, onions are playing a major role in our lives. Forget our obsession with gold. We are hoarding onions now.All hail the freshly minted 23rd RBI Guv — the very dishy Raghuram Govinda Rajan — the Messiah of Markets. At 50, Rajan is young (come on, SRK at 48 is still playing lover boy), brilliant (IIT-IIM-MIT vaghera, vaghera) and on the ball (ex-IMF chief economist). That his chiselled features are as sharp as his brain, add to his current status as the Poster Boy of Banking.Funny how quickly Rajan has been slotted as a much-panted-after sex symbol (he took over from Duvvuri Subbarao on September 4). He's the guy who's got the groove. I plead guilty, too.Recklessly and happily, I went ahead and tweeted (will this woman never learn?) about his appointment, calling him the Ranbir Kapoor of Banking (note the spelling — banking, there's an 'a' in this word, not an 'o'). Why not? Rajan's sex appeal has propelled him straight into the league of movie stars. He can easily top 'India's Most Desirable' lists.Had he not been in this tricky, ultra conservative (let's be upfront here, and call it tight ass) assignment, he'd have been instantly snapped up by smart celeb managers and signed juicy endorsement deals. Sorry, Raghu. But you are stuck. Deal with it.The media has declared Raghu the latest sex symbol in the land. He should lie back and enjoy the attention. It's not often that one gets an RBI Guv who makes hearts (not just female ones) go dhak dhak each time he strides into a room. I entirely endorse the positioning. Why should only comely ladies in the rarefied world of finance get branded and walk away with all the compliments?Source -http://articles.economictimes.in...

Can you show me the strangest picture in your phone?
I have two, they’re both screenshots of items I saw on eBay which I sent my friends and family because they’re so hideous:That monstrosity is a home made version of this ventriloquist puppet:I would have had nightmares if I’d been given that home made thing as a present! The fact that they think someone else might like to buy it at that price is risible. I messaged the seller after it had been on there a while saying “Still not sold it then?” And bless them, they mistook it for genuine interest. I just checked and it’s still on eBay: http:// https://rover.ebay.com/r... goodness knows how much they’re paying to keep relisting it?Then there’s this gem:Which is supposed to represent the Doctor’s TARDIS console which actually looks like this:Again, I messaged the seller and said something like “are you really selling that?” to which he replied “Do you want it?” And I said “Not on your life!”Two screenshots from my phone/Ebay and two pics from google.
Does the NRA ever donate money to victims?
I can’t be absolutely positive, but I don’t believe the NRA has donated association funds to victims. NRA officials and members may have made personal donations, but that would not be considered an official NRA donation.In fairness, I don’t recall any of the major gun control groups making donations to victims, either. Michael Bloomberg, the primary funding source for Everytown for Gun Safety, may have made personal donations but I don’t have any information about them.Both groups may offer or arrange services for victims, such as legal help for lawsuits. Some law firms do offer pro bono services for them.The anger over the NRA’s failure to donate money is similar to the anger over the NRA’s “failure” to take ownership for mass shootings.There are two valid objections to that anger.First, why would the NRA be expected to donate money to victims or need to feel at all responsible? The NRA did not encourage or enable a shooter to commit their crimes. One might as well expect the American Automobile Association to accept responsibility for James Fields’ driving his car into a crowd in Charlottesville or for Lakeisha Holloway repeated running her car onto a crowded sidewalk in Las Vegas.Second, if the NRA gave money to one group of victims, it would be expected to provide funds for all groups of victims. For example, if the NRA donated to victims of the Sutherland Springs shootings, perhaps in recognition of NRA member Stephen Williford’s acts in stopping Devin Kelley’s spree, there would be an uproar because the NRA didn’t donate to victims of every mass shooting and killing spree dating back to 1871, when the NRA was founded.The NRA knows full well that those who despise it are going to rail against everything it does.For example, the NRA Foundation, which has no political stance at all, gave a $10,000 grant to the JROTC program at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The money was used to refurbish the school’s air rifle range and purchase new equipment. Since Nikolas Cruz was a member of the JROTC rifle team, the media and social media did its best to persuade people that the NRA Foundation had, in essence, provided the grant specifically to enable Cruz to be a better killer.This way lies madness. The same madness that expects the NRA to give money to victims or to take responsibility for mass shootings.
