Your Questions About Recycling

The Expert answers:

I’m not sure what the exact question is here because the concept of a “pro” regarding nuclear waste is unfamiliar to me. Let me assume that the nuclear waste being discussed is, in fact, used nuclear fuel that is supposed to be disposed of by the U.S. Government in accordance with the Nuclear Waste Policy Act. This particular nuclear waste is very useful because more than 90% of the potential energy within the fuel is still available to be extracted if the fuel is recycled instead of buried. In my mind that is a huge pro!

The cons of nuclear waste is that perfectly reasonable and calm people become very unreasonable and irrational and frightened when discussing how and where to dispose of or recycle this material. Radiation scares people. Hollywood and the main stream media have done an excellent job of convincing ordinary people that the tiniest amount of radiation will turn somebody into the Hulk, or Spiderman, or give them incurable brain tumors or make them grow a third eye. This is total crap and people should be ashamed of spreading such ridiculous concepts and other people should be ashamed to believe in such blatant fantasies.

A pro of nuclear waste is that it is very easily detected. A radiation meter will pick up very low levels of nuclear waste without much trouble. Unlike lead or arsenic or chromium or other chemicals in the environment that require a laboratory and fancy instruments to detect low levels, a relatively cheap and easy to use radiation meter can be brought just about anywhere to quickly determine if radioactive materials are present in quantities that are immediately hazardous to people or the environment. If you need a lab to detect radioactive materials, the amounts are far too low to cause any immediate harm and probably too low to cause any long term harm, despite what the fear mongers want you to believe.

You are going to be labeled as a fool if you really asked such question to know the fact! But I’m a fan of your questions & answers so far; so I know how intelligent you are. Sure you tried to know our scientific sense I guess. To answer your question, I will say first that an air-conditioner’s job is to suck the air from inside a room by a hole & then it recycle the same air through another hole with metal-filter, passing the air with a touch of several ice-cool pipes—that the mechanism. But a fridge works differently—-it cools the atmosphere of a limited air within a box, i.e. The fridge-compartment. The two machines works differently. No one is the alternative of each others. I laughed at the other answers where they were after cost & expenditures! You’re successful st your attempt!

Random thoughts.
Of necessity, we will run out of resources before we run out of dumping sites, because used material goes to the dump.
We should have laws about the prudent use of raw materials, about the need to recycle, about dumping such that the site becomes reusable after some years.

Perhaps people should be allowed only so many dresses or trousers, so much furniture etc. Who can use 100 dresses? Six cars for two people? A house with 10 bedrooms and no children?

We should be looking at the phase before we dump. Rather than dump, superfluous articles should not be bought, you should pay double when buying a new item unless you give the old one away in usable condition for someone else to use or prove that it is worn out and non repairable, things should be recycled, or mended, if you buy an article just because you want a new one, then, you should be obliged to pay the costs of sending your discarded item overseas to the really needy.

The result of my policy ? Drastic drop in consumption , causing a loss of production, causing a loss of jobs, and additionally much less need to dump.

Not to worry ! You will not need so much money because your surpurflous needs have disappeared, you have more time to smell the roses growing on the diminished dump heaps and you will have no money worries, You will not be thumbing your nose at the Jonses as you both have the same things to boast about so you talk to each other rather then boast about your third beach house,

Playgirl, I had no idea What was tucked away in my head when I read your question, but I have really enjoyed letting them flow. I apologise that they are probably not to the point but at least, I have surprised myself. Hope you get some more helpful answers than I suspect mine is. All the best.

That’s pretty old news–not sure why that paper recycled it now–they decided against that months ago.

The reason why was simple. Most children who are maimed are maimed as a result of one of two things–car accidents or farm accidents.

It’s kinda wild what happens when you try to make one rule to be the law of the land. Everyone gets a sick feeling when they learn that in other countries twelve year olds salvage land mines to earn extra money. No one wants kids who are too young to really understand the risks working in dangerous jobs. However, get OSHA involved and every job is ‘dangerous’, and a desire to prevent sweatshops and the worst versions of capitalism turn into a situation where kids are not allowed to work at all at anything–which is pretty twisted too. So, how do you write a ‘no sweat shops’, ‘kids don’t risk life and limb’ child labor law that will not take kids out of school to support their families, etc., but will still allow them to work afterschool jobs? It’s harder than it sounds.

The Expert answers:

It looks like you’re off to a great start! Without being able to see the formatting of your résumé, I would say you covered the basics. I like that you were able to list all the volunteer and extra curricular activities you were involved in. The fact that you have even put a resume together without having work experience is a huge advantage over other candidates in your situation who don’t bother putting a résumé together.

You may want to move your skills to the top of your résumé and put that you are bilingual in English and Spanish. Often, when recruiters are searching for candidates, they will search “bilingual”. If you put “Bilingual in English and Spanish” it is more likely it will show up in a recruiters’ search results.

The Expert answers:

No, I wouldn’t work with her for a few reasons. #1 You have two different styles of cleaning. She’s the type where as long as it’s “done”, it’s ok to take short cuts. You are the type that take pride in your work and want things to not only get done, but get done right.

Her throwing away paper work (that she doesn’t know if it’s useful or not) and then throwing a dirty knife back in with the clean cutlery. What if you don’t catch it next time and the family uses the dirty utensil and gets sick? What if she messes up and you lose a lot of clients because of it?

I know it’s hard to trust people. However, you can always do a back ground check, a reference check (call the employers, don’t just accept letters of recommendation), drug tests and even a credit check if you so desire. Even if the first person you hire isn’t what you are really looking for, eventually you’ll find the right person. Put a 90 day clause in there (if they don’t work out they will be terminated).

Don’t let your friends get away with stuff that you wouldn’t let your enemies get away with. One of the quickest way to ruin a friendship is by allowing them to do things, only because they are your friend.

Tell your friend in a nice way, that you don’t think this cleaning together is working out and you’ll be hiring someone else. Explain to your friend it’s nothing personal, but you both just have different working styles. If she can’t handle it… Then she wasn’t your friend to begin with. She has admitted to you that she doesn’t have the same work ethic as you. So it should come to no surprise when she’s terminated.

The Expert answers:

You said she is your friend. Friends trust each other and communicate. You have to use better communication to get your standards of cleaning across to her. It is call constructive criticism. Friendships are more important than house cleaning so don’t fire her. The next cleaner could be worse. Just sit down and have a friendly, constructive work talk. Then hug her and say, “See ya later” or whatever. She may have had something on her mind when she put the knife back. Who said, “To error is human. To forgive is divine?”

The Expert answers:

Correct

the bin is just a folder
deleting a file just moves it to the bin

old msdos style delete just blanks the first character of the filename from the filing
system table and releases the disk blocks occupied by the file so other files
can use that space. So even an Emptied bin stills means all the data is untouched
but IS OPEN TO OVERWRITING BY NEW FILES.
That means file recovery programs know the whole name of a file except the first
character. They also know which disk blocks the file was using for its data.
Even if the filing system is erased due to formatting, a Deep Scan can do a
good job of guessing which disk blocks were written together, as they have a
marker inside the data that Chains to the Next block used.

Only a File Shredder application will erase data blocks, or a full diagnostics
program that rewrites every disk sector guarantees file data is gone.

Even that process leaves a trace of previous data and Clever electronics
can scan every data byte in every data block, and GUESS what was previously
written there. That may require dismantling of the drive to gain access to the
internal circuits of the drive.

It is a fact that disk block data will leave a kind of fingerprint in the magnetic
information that previous values can be tracked back over several writes.
This can mean that even a disk thats full formatted and then has a new
operating system loaded, involving one two or three or more writes to specific
disk blocks, can be traced back as Ones and Zeroes so that original file
data can be accurately determined and recreated.
This is a tricky process though and file shredders mix up data enough to make
retracing file data thats properly shredded, almost impossible.
This data retrieval could cost a lot of money, and is usually restricted to one or
two files that are so precious, NOT a whole disk drive.

Happy days

SCAM and shame of most actual ecologists

they are not sincere. They make use of the fact that nobody knows everything so the can tell people anything in a easy to-believe way. Like i studied genetics and ecology, so that is what i can judge – they talk nonsence, but in a way one can go for it easily – here they hire young students to spread it further, the phrases they were taught. When they are campaigning (like instead of actually doing something) they seem to have been through some training what they should parrot on and on, but never think about it. Always trying to persuade how good and caring they are but whanever i ask for facts, they are lost or cone up with lies – i asked them why they published only fraction of their tests (they didnt like the majority of results, that is why) they replied that the presented figures were mean figures – they were not. They were the figures that they liked only.

I personally think that conservation and ecology should get more attention than it gets and i work in conservation and i am happy that i do that – so i am not biased against “greens”. Right the oposit – i am ashamed that some people take Greenpeace as ecologists. When the newspaper or tv says “the ecologists in our country” i would like these to be the people who teach ecology at universities, not greenpeace.

After i graduated i was looking for a job in conservation and i was naive enough to think of them – i was horrified that i would make living of lying and backed off right away. Since that time i dont take them as truthful. Oh please, dont believe them, go for renowned source of information.
I wouldnt call them independent, no way

they did more for showing off than for real conservation and environment, oh compare them to wwf
they fiddle with statistics and data as they choose – like take their so called surveys – just invalid from scientific point of view – you prove what you want to prove, if you pick up the results that you like and if you dont do a blind test – that is what i was offered to participate in!!! Maybe if i didnt contact them i would have believed them to this day. They predecide on what issues are interesting for them and they are not those that are the most pressing but those that can win them attention. At least here.
Like last time they stopped me in the streat with something about protection of primeval forests, but they were hopeless – of course it would be shameful to exploit primeval forests, so i asked them what company does that and sells here – they said that they were told that paper mills, so i asked them to be specific, they didnt know, but they were told that paper mills… After a lengthy discussion it turned out that the guy was ignorant of true problems in paper recycling and sustainable sources of paper pulp here and actual troubles and environmental consequences of paper industry here – there are some and should have been made public, but they did not talk of it at their trainings, dont care, it is better for them if they say “we are campaigning for primeval forests” it just sounds much better.

I would love if there was organizaton just like greenpecae but sincere and truthful, i would love it beyond anything. The founders must toss in their graves.. (EDIT” THAT S WHAT CONSULTANT TOM WITTNESSED BUT I DIDNT – I AM 33)

btw – look at this and you will get a clue how you truth “mabe in greenpeace” is made : http://www.dhmo.org/
example:
Greenpeace: gmo foods are bad , because antibiotics were used in breeding. So we are supposed to say omg, now i know. But really – if they say “t-shirts are bad because very sharp scissors are used in their manufacture” – you wouldnt go for it, because you know that probably in the manufacture of trousers scissors are used too, but nobody has a clue about how the antibiotics are used in GE and in what quantities and what chemicals are used in agriculture breeding – so we can believe anything. So i ask the girl – when you get antibiotics by prescription, is your pee contained and disposed of in a safe way so that you go to normal toilet ? The answers should be yes if you understood and meant what you just said!!!!
