What Women Should Know.....About a Man's Brain: Who's The Boss
An unstable hierarchy can cause men considerable anxiety, Brizendine said. But an established chain of command, such as that practiced by the military and many work places, reduces testosterone and curbs male aggression, she said.
Pre-occupation with establishing pecking order, which starts as early as age 6, motivates the "male dance, where they are always putting each other down," Brizendine added. "It is better to be aggressive in a verbal jab than to duke it out," she said. . By Robin Nixon,, Live Science Contributor Earth Day Festival

What NOT to Recycle
Not everything can be recycled, even if it's made up of recyclable materials. Plastics like clothes hangers, grocery bags, and toys aren't always recyclable in your curbside bin. Other things that aren't recyclable include Styrofoam, bubble wrap, dishes, and electronic cords.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there's a good chance you're recycling wrong. It's not necessarily your fault, though. There are a ton of rules when it comes to what can and can't be recycled, and those little symbols on products don't always make it clearer. Because it's so complicated, people often end up falling short on recycling goals despite having the best intentions. Styrofoam is one of the most commonly-known non-recyclable materials. It's made of polystyrene, a material that isn't biodegradable.The best solution is to avoid Styrofoam altogether in favor of more earth-friendly materials. There may be some facilities near you that accept it, though. Although many plastics can be recycled, the particular kind of plastic bubble wrap is made from cannot be recycled, because the thin film can tangle in recycling machines. Whether they contain non-hazardous liquid like whipped cream or hazardous liquid like spray paint, aerosol cans generally shouldn't be recycled. This is mainly due to the pressurized air inside of the cans. You've probably noticed a plastic recycling bin outside your grocery store. That's because curbside recycling programs typically don't accept plastic bags, and store recycling is your only option. Trying to recycle plastic bags normally has serious consequences. First, the bags will take hundreds of years to decompose because the plastic isn't biodegradable, and second, plastic bags are the number one source of marine debris. Wire clothes hangers aren't usually made of pure metal, and plastic hangers aren't always pure plastic, so neither are recyclable. Some places like New York City allow you to toss your wire hangers with the rest of your recycling, but most other places won't accept them because their curved ends can be problematic when sorting. You may be able to donate them to your local thrift store to get them off your hands. While the cardboard boxes pizzas come in are recyclable, there's one problem - the bits of food that's probably still left inside them . If you ever have a pizza box completely free of grease and cheese, you'd be able to recycle it. Otherwise, you should just throw it away. Assuming your products come in plastic containers and not aerosol cans, they can probably be recycled as long as they're completely empty. Be careful how you dispose of any extra liquid though, since a select few could damage your septic tank if poured down the sink. "The Treacherous Troll"

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - April 22The first Earth Day 1970 Earth Day, an event to increase public awareness of the world’s environmental problems, is celebrated in the United States for the first time. Millions of Americans, including students from thousands of colleges and universities, participated in rallies, marches, and educational programs. Earth Day was the brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, a staunch environmentalist who hoped to provide unity to the grassroots environmental movement and increase ecological awareness. “The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for the environment so large that it would shake the political establishment out of its lethargy,” Senator Nelson said, “and, finally, force this issue permanently onto the national political agenda.” Earth Day indeed increased environmental awareness in America, and in July of that year the Environmental Protection Agency was established by special executive order to regulate and enforce national pollution legislation. On April 22, 1990, the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, more than 200 million people in 141 countries participated in Earth Day celebrations.
