Answer to Question 1

This is correct. Recyclables must be stored separately. They must be put out for
pickup in special containers if there is curbside recycling in a locality. If they are returned to
a recycling center, people must make a separate trip to recycle their recycling, which is an
additional cost and an additional hassle.

Answer to Question 2

In many cases, the reverse is operative; biomass makes the feedstocks at a lower
energy cost, not even to mention the decreased pollution associated with human-designed
feedstock systems.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
