In models, because nobody said models had to be ActiveRecord because
models define behaviors but if you want the Railism that "models
should be ActiveRecord" kicked out of your models you should upgrade
to Rails 4 where now you can have ActiveRecord::Base and
ActiveModel::Model.

It depends on what you mean but "wrap together various functions".
