One of These Things
Remember that song from Sesame Street? "One of these things is not like the other, one of these things is not the same.''
Think about that catchy little verse when you are contemplating getting a Shetland pony to sort of round out your stable. There are over a hundred breeds of ponies, but Shetlands are the most common here in the US. It's the breed you probably image when you think pony. Shetlands look more like horses than anything else, but if you treat them like a small horse, there will be problems. Their conformation, attitude, and metabolism are not the same as horses'. The differences are great enough that it's actually smart to think and treat them as a separate species.
In order to understand what a Shetland is all about you have to know something of their origin. The group of Shetland Islands is located over 100 miles north of the northern most part of Scotland and 300 miles due west of Norway. The islands are located exactly where the cold North Sea meets the Atlantic. Here on the islands the climate is severe and the land mostly barren. No spot on the islands is more than a four mile walk from the sea. Archeologists say that ponies have lived here for thousands of years. It is thought that their ancestors, larger in size, came over on an ice bridge from northern Europe. Obviously, only the strong survived the wild conditions. Those smaller, chunkier equines that we call Shetlands are the survivors. Animals with that conformation will typically do better in cold and windy conditions. The characteristics have been passed down: small stature, dense hair coat, and tough nature. They were used in the United Kingdom as "pit ponies" to pull loaded ore cars on tracks far below the earth surface from the coal seams to the shaft. Some were exported to America and were used in the Appalachians for the same purpose. Short, muscular necks, strong legs with short cannon bones, and deep barrels all add up to strength and endurance. Pound for pound, no horse is stronger than a Shetland.
It's part of the nature of survivors of harsh conditions to carry a little attitude. Many, but not all, Shetlands are impatient and a bit un-cooperative. I am always pleasantly surprised by those that take vaccinations in stride and permit dentistry without sedation. It is not unusual to have them rear or strike when they don't agree with some procedure.
The biggest mistake we make with these ponies is in treating them like horses at meal time. Thousands of years of genetic selection means that grain and green grass are close to poison for these animals who can survive on next to nothing. It is common for equine veterinarians to be called out in the spring to attend to a pony that has been pastured on rich green grass. Their systems simply can't handle unlimited grass. Centuries of selection has made their metabolism amazingly efficient. As we say in New England, they can get fat on snowballs.
If a Shetland's diet has too much of the carbohydrates found in grass or grain, the result will be more than just a belly ache. The rich diet starts an internal process that often doesn't end well. High carbs in the diet means high blood sugar. Insulin is produced and secreted to try to get the sugar from the blood to the cells. After a while the body reaches a point of insulin resistance, which means that the system finally stops reacting to it. The result is large fat deposits that ironically start to develop at the same time that the ponies get ribby. Shetlands often develop the syndrome called Cushing's disease, and the extremely painful foot condition of laminitis often follows.
Ponies should be kept in relatively grass free paddocks until the grass turns brown in the fall. When everyone else in the barn is getting scoops of grain, give your pony a handful of hay stretcher. When feeding hay, avoid the rich second cut. Even very leafy first cut hay can cause a problem, and sometimes it's necessary to soak the hay in water to leach out the starch and sugars.
Despite the problems associated with "too good care", nothing makes us smile more than a blocky little Shetland standing tall and proud as if he were a Budweiser Clydesdale in a beer commercial. They are smart and trainable. For a kid's first mount they are ideal, and are perfectly suited for driving. If fed properly and exercised regularly, Shetlands are as hardy as they come. If you keep that song running through your head when dealing with them, having a Shetland around should give you decades of pleasure.

Journal Article: Geology And Activity Around Volcanoes On Io From The Analysis Of Nims Spectral Images
AbstractThe last two successful flybys of Io by Galileo in 2001 (orbits I31, I32) allowed the Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer to enrich its collection of IR spectral image cubes of the satellite. These data cover hemispheric portions of Io, several volcanic centers as well as their surroundings with a spatial resolution ranging from 2 to 93 km pixel-1. They map thermal emission from the hot-spots and the distribution of solid SO2 in the 1.0-4.7 μm spectral range. We obtain maps of SO2 abundance and granularity from the NIMS data using the method of Doute et al. (2002, Icarus 158, 460-482). The maps are correlated to distinguish four different physical units that indicate zones of SO2 condensation, metamorphism and sublimation. We relate these information with visible images from Galileo's Solid State Imaging System and with detailed mapping of the thermal emission produced by Io's surface. Our principal goal is to understand the mechanisms controlling how lava, pyroclastics and gas are emitted by different types of volcanoes and how these products evolve. The 800 km diameter white ring of fallout created by a violent "Pillanian" eruption during summer of 2001 is at least partly composed of solid SO2 and has enriched preexisting regional deposits. Orange materials have been recently or are currently emplaced 240 km south from the main eruption site, possibly as sulfur flows. A similar event may have taken place in the past at Ababinili Patera (12.5° N, 142° W). Carefull study of SO2 maps covering the Emakong region also suggests that sulfur forms the bright channel-fed flow emerging from the south eastern side of the caldera. Within the main caldera of Tvashtar Catena completely cooled patches of crust exist. Elsewhere, the caldera is still cooling from previous episodes of flooding. We confirm that Amirani emits constantly large amount of SO2 gas by interaction of fresh lava with the volatiles of the underlying plains. Nevertheless SO2 frost is not the major component of the bright white ring seen in the SSI images. Over the whole Gish Bar region, SO2 frost seems barely stable and is constantly regenerated. The stability increases along gray filamentary structures which could be faults filled with materials having peculiar thermal properties. Northwest of Gish Bar Patera, a localized bright deposit shows an unusual spectral signature potentially indicative of H2O molecules forming ice crystals or being trapped in a nonidentified matrix. The Chaac region may present a thickened old crust reducing the geothermal flux to levels lower than 0.5 W m-2 and thus creating a cold trap for SO2. Looking at the abundance and degree of metamorphose of SO2, we establish the relative age of different flows and ejecta for the Sobo Fluctus. Finally the assumption that the white patches in visible images indicate SO2 rich deposits is once again challenged. In the Camaxtli region we identify a topographically controlled compact white deposit showing only moderate SO2 abundance. In contrast, we detect two spots of quite pure SO2 ice on the gray flanks of Emakong. Furthermore, the close association of fumarolic SO2 and red S2 already noted for several volcanic centers is observed at Tupan.

Dasavatharam is one of the movie which created hype right from the date of pooja(commencement) till the release,,, and its gr8 to see that it has lived upto the expectations. one line story explained beautifully with 10 kamal, t sunami etc,,,mind blowing performance by kamal as usual,, he almost lived as 10 different characters on the screen,,voice modulation , body language costume for each character was superb and no one can act in such characters other than kamal,, and the first 20 mins of the movie was terrific,,,ravivarman rocked as usual with his camera handling techniques,,we can see kamal's hardwork in each and every scene,, hats off to him,, kollywood should be proud to have such actor. though there are 10 kamals,,, balram naidu stole the entire show with his gr8 comic sense,,special mention should be made about the climax stunt scene,, it was amazing,,and asin as usual had a small role to play and she excelled in her part though at times her dialouges looks irritating,,music by himesh and back ground by devi sri prassad was gr8. Tsunami graphics was good ,,but still it could have done better.
- kamal,, kamal ,,, kamal
- stunts
- visual affects
- back ground score and music
- and almost everything
- There was too many dialogues in english which cant be understood by B and C center people , they could have done something to overcome that.
- And its difficult for B and C center people to understand about bio chemical weapon and its effects and many wont know what is NACL which is used to overcome the effect of that bio chemical weapon.
- malika sherawath wasted 😦
Expected no.of days: 10 days for each kamal , so its 100 days minimum:-)
My ratings: 10 marks for each kamal so its 100/100
verdict: Block Buster
Dr kamal have struggled hard for almost 2 years to come up with gr8 movie,,and he have lifted the tamil cinema to next level.it was like seeing hollywood movie dubbed in tamil. its doing gr8 in telegu and hindi too. still i find some people spreading unnecessary rumors about the movie without seeing it ,, so all those people keep u r mouth shut.:-)
As i said early tamil cinema have reached gr8 hights,, so all other actors please be sincere and come up with different movies like this and keep up the name,, and dont summa come with 5 songs 2 fights movie and spoil u r name as well tamil cinema industry.if u cant do it then better quit from tamil cinema and sleep peacefully in home.
once again a big thanks for Dr kamal for coming out with gr8 movie,,

everyone's lonely
How is it that so many people can feel so alone all at once and all in the same place? Weird, huh? Has it always been like this?
I think loneliness is really more like fear disguised as melancholy… fear of reaching out, fear of rejection, fear of who knows what… I think sometimes there doesn't really have to be something to be afraid of for fear to exist. Sometimes it's just fear. And so, sometimes it's just loneliness.

"Never read the comments." You've heard this advice before. Chances are you've had cause to regret ignoring it.
According to the BBC, Google wants to make it safe to read the comments again. They've unveiled some new tech called "Perspective" that "uses machine learning to identify problematic comments". It seems Google considers this a sufficiently pressing problem that they have an entire division within the company called Jigsaw that has "a mission to tackle online security dangers such as extremism and cyberbullying".
How Perspective Probably Works
Though I don't have access to Jigsaw's source code for Perspective, I think I can make an educated guess as to how it works. I think Jigsaw's algorithm for detecting toxic comments is similar to algorithms used in Gmail to detect spam. Gmail's algorithms are refined versions of the (Naive) Bayesian spam filtering techniques recommended by Paul Graham in "A Plan for Spam (2002) and "Better Bayesian Filtering" (2003).
If I'm right, then Perspective probably isn't as revolutionary as Google's marketing people are likely to make it out to be so they can justify selling comment filtering services to websites at outrageous prices.
However, even if Google charged a flat rate of ten bucks a month for comment filtering, it would still be too much. It would probably be cheaper to just shut down comments altogether.
That's what I did on my own site because blogs, newspapers, and other online publications shouldn't be in the business of supplying bored randos with soapboxes. If people have something to say about an article or blog post they've read, let them do it on their own blogs or on social media.
The Real Problem with Perspective
I think there's a bigger and more fundamental issue involved. Perspective strikes me as just another example of the solutionism that pervades the tech industry, especially in Sillycon Valley. If you've been paywalled, "solutionism" is the tendency among techies to try to solve social problems using technology.
It's hard to blame techies for trying to solve every problem they see with technology. When all you have is a hammer, it's awfully tempting to see every problem as a nail.
However, I'm not convinced that the problem Google wants to solve using Perspective is one that has a technological solution. Sure, it can probably make comment sections less unpleasant to read, but I think Google is treating a symptom, rather than the disease.
The disease is fourfold:
- Our society is full of people who are both uninformed and opinionated
- Most of these people are young to middle-aged straight white men with internet access
- They have no idea how to argue in a civilized manner, or the ability to judge where and when it is even appropriate to argue
- When challenged, they cling to a profoundly flawed understanding of freedom of speech.
These people think that they have the right to express any ignorant, irrational, or outright vile thought that comes to mind. Within certain legal limits (slander, libel, "fighting words", speech that incites violence) they might even be right. However, it usually isn't legal penalties they face when they go too far. Instead, they get blocked by individuals or get banned from web platforms. In high-profile cases, the social penalty extends to job losses or loss of economic opportunities.
It is hard to sympathize with people whose misuse of their free speech rights gets them blocked, banned, fired, or costs them book deals. They don't understand that right to free speech ends where others' rights to freedom of association begins.
As a result, many of these aggrieved individuals think they're Edgar Friendly in Demolition Man, though they more commonly align themselves with Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly and Serenity. They imagine themselves as embattled crusaders for freedom driven underground by a dystopian left-wing regime where "political correctness" is the first step in a nefarious plan to re-engineer society so that everybody eats at Taco Bell, nobody gets laid, and Hillary Clinton and Jill Stein serve as precursors to Doctor Cocteau.
I certainly don't want to take away their right to express themselves. I value my own rights too highly for that. However, I understand that while I have the right to speak, I am not entitled to an audience. I certainly don't have the right to make you my captive audience in your own home, on your own website, or in your own social media feed begins.
But that isn't good enough for some people, like those who thought Milo Yiannopoulos was a heroic defender of free speech until he made one joke too many about learning how to give blowjobs in Sunday school.
These people, who tend to overlap with the alt-reich, also*_ think that their right to speak also means that they have the right to be heard. They think they are entitled to platforms on which to express their opinions, no matter how ignorant, irrational, or vile—and they think they are entitled to treat other people using the same platforms as captive audiences.
First They Came For the News Sites
This problem is not confined to comment sections on news sites. If you're on a social media platform where allowing the public to read your posts also allows the public to comment, you run the risk of random anonymous of pseudonymous strangers using your own feed to heap abuse on you.
If you're a woman, queer, transgender, a person of color, or part of another minority group this probably isn't just a risk but your daily reality. Even if it hasn't happened to you, it may have happened to somebody you know and care about.
And it can always happen to you in the future.
Why Not Just Block Trolls?
By all means, block trolls. Block them on sight, and without mercy. If somebody's profile looks fake or their avatar or user name comes from an anime or a video game then by all means block them.
However, if you play the blocking game you're playing whack-a-mole. You might get one troll, but if a sufficiently large horde come at you, then you're in deep trouble. They will exhaust your energy and patience, waste your time, and leave you thoroughly demoralized long before you can block them all.
If, instead of blocking trolls you try to be reasonable and simply delete offensive posts, then you're in for a world of hurt. Deleting offensive posts without blocking their authors leaves you open to baseless accusations of censorship by random abusers who don't understand that their comments are nothing but the sort of graffiti one finds on a men's room wall, and therefore unwelcome in most settings.
However, this is also symptomatic of a deeper problem: trolls understand the Xanatos Gambit and love using it:
- If you ignore them, they win.
- If you block them, they win.
- If you quit social media in disgust, they win.
- If you shut down your website and scrub every trace of your existence from the internet ([type 3 infocide](http://reagle.org/joseph/pelican/social/infocide-definitions.html)), they win.
The only way to beat a troll is to persuade them to take a good hard look at themselves and understand that they are bullying others as they themselves were bullied. Most trolls have themselves suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and cope with their pain by inflicting pain on others. Lindy West confronted one of the trolls plaguing her and got him to realize the error of his ways, but Ms. West's experience is atypical.
Furthermore, it shouldn't be our responsibility to play therapist to every random stranger who tries to cope with their own misery by dragging us down into the shit with them. We aren't trained or paid for that sort of emotional labor.
What Should We Do, Then?
This is a social/cultural problem, but Google in their hubris think they can fix it with technology. Well, I can fix abusers with technology, too. I can disable comments on my blog, I can devote the majority of my social media time to platforms like Google+ that let me disable comments on posts, and instead of settling for abuse-tolerant platforms like Twitter and Facebook I can use Mastodon.
I shouldn't have to treat my website or social media feed as a fortress by using tools like Perspective, blocking abusers, or disabling comments on individual posts or site-wide. I shouldn't have to be on guard online the way I learned to be in face-to-face interactions after years of being bullied as a child.
I would say that none of us should have to treat the internet as if we were walking alone at night down an unlit street in a rough neighborhood, but that metaphor is faulty because some people can walk alone at night down unlit streets in rough neighborhoods without any need to fear for their safety.
Some would also argue that the metaphor above is also faulty because getting insulted, abused, or trolled on the internet isn't the same as getting mugged, raped, or murdered. If I had never been the target of such abuse myself I might say this is true but irrelevant. However, I've had people pull up the WHOIS data for my website, use it to get my phone number, and make threatening phone calls. I've been doxxed. I've had a taste of what some people go through on a daily basis just because they had the nerve to express themselves online despite being women, queer, and/or not white.
I've had a taste, and I didn't like it much. The world should be safe for everybody. So should the internet. Using Google's Perspective API as a substitute for paying actual human beings to police comment sections and giving them the authority to tell abusive users that they've gone too far (or to ban repeat offenders) is only a half-measure at best.
The real fix is harder, and will take longer. People need to learn some manners. People need to understand that when they post comments on a public forum or on somebody else's website or social media feed that they are guests. People need to understand that while they have the right to speak, they are not entitled to either an audience or a platform.
But even these remedies aren't enough. Our society under late-stage capitalism is diseased. We need to create a society where young boys and men aren't encouraged to hide their pain and loneliness and fear until the only way they can cope is by lashing out by trolling or by picking up rifles and committing mass murder. We need to create a society where young people can find a sense of purpose and a reason to live that isn't about "lulz" or winning illusory points from their peers.
Perspective as a Tool of Prevention
Despite my talk of the need for fundamental societal reforms, Google's Perspective API has one potentially beneficial application based on its experiments. While it was the "reading" experiment that made the news by demonstrating the potential of filtering out comments using a sliding toxicity scale, the "reading" experiment is a reactive approach. It hides comments after the fact.
What if we could prevent or at least discourage people from posting toxic comments in the first place? That's where the "writing" experiment comes into play. It asks…
What if you could see the potential impact of your writing?
We can try to empathize with others and imagine how others might feel as they read our words. We can avoid using harsh language. However, empathy, imagination, and careful word choice only go so far. There's no substitute for data, and here is where Perspective has the opportunity to shine.
You can try the "writing" experiment yourself using small quantities of text, but I wrote this post by feeding individual paragraphs into the experiment and tailoring my language to reduce its toxicity.
If Perspective could be integrated into comment and contact forms, or made available in word processors and text editors as a plugin, individuals can see for themselves the potential impact of their words and make a better-informed decision about how to express themselves.
Likewise, individual sites could use Perspective to set a maximum acceptable toxicity level, and refuse to permit the submission of comments or posts that exceed the threshold. Freewheeling sites might allow 95-100% toxicity, while sites that want to offer safe spaces can set max toxicity to a much lower value (such as 5-10%).
Google's Perspective may be more useful than I first thought, but it depends on two factors:
- Will Google makes the API publicly and freely available?
- Will developers integrate the Perspective API in a proactive manner rather than a reactive one?
Google alone won't be able to detoxify the Internet with Perspective. While they can create the API and other developers can build it into various tools, it's up to us to use these tools to make the Internet a better place.
But what do I know? I'm just a dumb programmer.

Shalom שלמ!
This week's Torah Portion Acherei אכארע is found in Leviticus chapter 16-18.
Some complex writing is found in this week's portion. That being said we will cover the following topics found in the portion:
- Aaron's responsibility for the nation at Yom Kippur
- The Blood of the Sacrifice
- Sexual Immorality
We are starting off with what Aaron had to do in fulfillment of atoning for the whole nation of Israel and Aaron's family directly.
The portion makes assumption that Aaron is the called high priest by way of what responsibility he is given by Hashem. He (Aaron) was required to wear a certain kind of clothing, pick out a certain kind of animal for sacrificial use, and enter the holy places only at certain times when Hashem would make it know to him.
Aaron was instructed to take several animals to be used later in a ritual of sacrifice or setting free into the wilderness. On a personal note he had to come yielding a young bull for a sin offering, and a ram for an elevation offering. These two offerings were for different reasons by design. One was to send a pleasing aroma to "elevate" to Hashem, and the other to make atonement for sin of the person bringing it to the tabernacle. It is later in the chapter we find the animals needed for the nation. Before he could perform any ritual Aaron was to wash himself entirely and don his fine linen tunic.
Now from the assembly of the children of Israel Aaron was to bring the same two offerings. A ram for elevation and a bull for a sin offering. These were to be used for the whole nation of Israel. These two goats had a significant difference, they were to be "tagged" in way that one was for Hashem and one was for Azazel לעזאזל. Sages in times past say that Azazel is a word that is beyond human comprehension.
This is where the portion gets exciting. Because we know the miracle that happens through the atonement process. A Sinful nation, takes a sinless animal and that sinless animal atones for their sins, every year this was to be done as an everlasting ordinance.
The one animal for Hashem was to be brought to the tabernacle and sacrificed while the other was set out into uninhabited land and set free. As the portions says, it would carry all the iniquities and sins of the nation of Israel into the wilderness, never caring if it ever made it back to the tent of meeting.
Let's fast forward to the blood of the sacrifice now. Following the incense the priest would also sprinkle the blood within the curtain of the Holy of Holies. So in order for them to sprinkle the blood as prescribed, the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) כוהענ גאדול would carry a bowl of some sort or just dip straight into spilled blood so that sprinkle the blood from on his forefinger. Sprinkling the Holy place was to mean that the place was also sanctified once again. This was also done in the outer courtyard including the altar seven times he was to sprinkle the altar.
Remember, this was for the entire nation of Israel. So, those involved had to maintain utmost purity. So it is not any surprise that we see laws concerning not consuming/touching blood like the nations all around them. They were told not to consume the blood because the blood was the atonement and was sacred not only to the creature but to Hashem.
I find it interesting that this particular commandment includes proselytes. Proselytes include gentiles that come to know Hashem (such as Christians that claim to be Jewish [even spiritually]).
To sum up the portion lets go to the text that speaks about sexual immorality. I find it very interesting that the portion of text related to atonement for sins is so closely found next to sexual immorality.
In chapter 18 we find an immediate (after atonement) declaration of things Hashem requires of us. Predominately we find sexual immorality in the list of things we should follow. The things we must or must not do are preceded by the words "Do not perform the practice of the land of Egypt". So, obviously the Israelites were exposed these sins.
When reading the text you may find yourself reading the words "the nakedness of your" and wonder what does that mean to me today. Well, it is modernly believed to mean have sexual intercourse. In ancient times it meant as little as living in the same house as, whereas to see their nakedness. Eitherway, here in the text is is considered a very gross sin.

Buyer beware: Duty-free shopping whammy
I don't usually buy duty-free anything in airports, thinking it's usually more hassle than it's worth and the supposed bargains often don't turn out to be bargains.
So it was a bit of a shock when, after I finally relented and brought some Carlos 1 brandy at one airport duty free shop in Europe, it was soon seized by customs officials at another airport.
Falsely believing the boxed bottle of Carlos 1 brandy was safely tucked into a World Duty Free shopping bag, we were transferring planes at London's Heathrow airport when I was eventually told by grim security officials they had to confiscate the brandy.
Because the World Duty Free clerk who had sold it to us in the initial airport did not ask for all my boarding passes and therefore did not tell me that the brandy had to be sealed in a second plastic bag.
Presumably, even though neither the bottle nor the box had been opened and we had never left a security zone, Heathrow policy stipulated that, without a second plastic seal, the brandy could have somehow ingeniously been tampered with and thus become an explosive device.
It didn't make much logical sense, but such is the state of terrorist-wracked England.
I don't remember if the Heathrow customs official who took the bottle actually said "Sorry."
But since I was going out of my way to avoid being unpleasant about this airport injustice she did take the time to somewhat ruefully say Heathrow airport had bins full of similarly confiscated bottles of duty-free alcohol.
I don't want to speculate on what happens to what must be the hundreds, if not thousands, of bottles of duty-free liquor that are regularly seized at Heathrow airport.
And I don't want to bore readers with the many twists involved in trying to rectify the loss of my Carlos 1, which our group had turned into a kind of pet social drink during our trip. I took on the challenge of obtaining a refund mostly to see what would happen.
Short version: Through some extensive international email correspondence World Duty Free Group eventually refunded the 23 Euros. The Italian company has more than 550 outlets around the world.
The point of this quick blog post is to warn travelers that they should take nothing for granted when buying duty-free alcohol in a world that is on high-alert regarding terrorist attacks – and where security policies at one airport don't necessarily match policies at another airport.
All in all it served as a reminder to maintain my usual airport status quo: Don't bother buying things just because they're "duty free."
UPDATE: Since publishing this post, five people have contacted me on Facebook saying the same thing happened to them at various airports around the world. Many said the seizures seemed very arbitrary. More to pursue here, someday, perhaps. What do Heathrow and other airports do with the liquor? I assume its destroyed. Or does it go to charity? (Joke. Sort of.)

Glass Lantern Cube
Simple glass lanterns, made of restoration glass and copper tape, soften bright candlelight and protect flames from evening breezes.
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 1997
As its name suggests, restoration glass is used extensively in architectural restorations that require the effect of hand-blown glass. Its surface, dappled with slight distortions, pits, and imperfections, beautifully reflects candlelight. You can also use opaque glass for this project and adjust the measurement to whatever size or shape holder you prefer.
Five 5-inch squares of 1/8-inch-thick restoration glass, or any opaque glass, edges sanded
Craft scissors
1/2-inch-wide copper tape
Steel wool
Copper-blackening solution
Stand two pieces of glass perpendicularly, so that the edges are flush and form a right angle. Make sure the frosted sides of the glass form the outside of the angle, which will become the outside of the lantern. Secure the panes along the seam's exterior with copper tape, pressing it firmly against the glass and leaving a 1/4-inch excess tape at each end.
Lay the attached pieces flat, frosted side down. Lay a strip of copper tape on the table, sticky side up. Press the edge of one of the attached pieces onto the tape while propping a third piece of glass perpendicularly to the flat piece. The edge of the third piece of glass should press down onto the copper tape as its inner plane meets the edge of the glass at a right angle. Fold the tape up around the seam, and press it firmly. Repeat the process with the remaining side, this time placing the edge of the fourth piece of glass on top of the glass, not the tape. Bring the tape up to secure both pieces.
Fold the four pieces into a box, and secure the last seam with copper tape. At one end of the box, trim all of the copper tape flush with the edge of the glass. At the other end of the box, snip each piece of excess tape in half up the middle to create two flaps. Place the bottom pane against the box, and fold one flap of tape and then the other over each corner to make a clean angle. Cover the seam around the bottom edge of the box with copper tape.
Give the copper tape an instant patina by applying a blackening solution, commonly available at crafts stores. To darken the copper tape, roughen it by scrubbing it lightly with steel wool. Then paint a thin coat of copper-blackening solution onto it, and allow it to dry.

To help you study for the final exam, here are some questions from the test bank of the text:
Bacardi concocted a fruity drink with the name 'Pavian' to suggest French chic … but 'Pavian' means 'baboon' in German. –
A hair products company, Clairol, introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that mist is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the manure stick.
When Coca Cola was first introduced into China they named it Ke-Kou-Ke-La. Unfortunately, the Coke company did not discover until after thousands of signs had been printed that the phrase means "bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect.
Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent: Ko-Kou-Ko-Le, which can be roughly translated as "happiness in the mouth." (have you seen what it can do to teeth?).
Coors the American brewer lost its fizz in Spain when their hip phrase "Turn It Loose" came out as "Get Diarrhea".
When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets to the Caribe.
Marcel Rigadin reports that Toyota makes the MR2, which in France is pronounced "merdé" or spelled 'merdeux', means "crappy".
Götzen in Turkey .
The european hardware store chain "Götzen" opened a mall in Istanbul. "Göt" means "ass" in Turkish. They changed the name to "Tekzen".

I like pitching. Working as a freelance marketing consultant, I spend a big chunk of my time in advertising agencies securing new business and building client relationships. I really enjoy the buzz that comes with giving the presentation, but it wasn't always this way. Here are my insider tips to help settle your nerves and set you up for success.
Believe what you pitch
Since you're here, I'm going to assume that you have a genuine passion for your business idea, product, or service and you're convinced that it's the best for the job. If so – that's half the battle won. Real belief and enthusiasm will outshine everything you say, write, and do. And that will impress your potential clients.
Similarly, you need to know what your business stands for and be able to get people excited about it—quickly. I suggest having an 'elevator pitch' ready. This may feel a bit robotic at first, but it does pay to write a paragraph or some bullet points on what makes you and your product or service different. What you say impacts what someone thinks of your business, so don't waffle and use natural, everyday language.
Know your sector
To truly differentiate yourself, you need to know what your competition is up to. Get up to speed with the trends and developments in your industry. This means being vocal and active in all the relevant channels as a matter of course – going to events, subscribing to (and reading) industry publications, and keeping abreast of social media, to name a few.
Prove your mettle
Before you invite people to hear your pitch, make sure your credentials are in order. Write a case study at the end of every completed project, comprising what, when, where, why, and how you delivered it. Ask your satisfied clients for references too. If you've yet to have a paid client of your own, don't worry – any relevant experience either under previous employers or unpaid work still counts. If you haven't been doing this, I'd say start now. I have often struggled to pull together relevant examples of my work in a last-minute panic, and believe me, you don't need the extra pressure when you're facing a pitch.
Research (and get in the client's head)
So you've got your credentials sorted, you are completely clued up on the market, and can explain exactly why your business is the best at what it does. And now you've been asked to meet a potential client. What next? Naturally, you'll need to do a ton of research—mainly, you'll need to understand what makes them tick and which of their problems you are going to help solve. How are they performing in the market? What were their biggest successes? What are their biggest challenges? What are they like as people? Alexi Vasiliou, owner and manager of imdesignuk.com, says: "I would say that knowing your client and speaking their language is the key to a successful pitch. People buy from people they like."
The pitch itself
Always remember: the meeting is about your client and the solution you're providing to their problem. Constantly ask yourself whether you've done what the brief asked for and whether you've provided a clear and interesting set of solutions to help your potential client. And of course, you need to set aside plenty of time to rehearse properly. That means practice in front of other people, on your own, in front of a mirror, and with a timer.
On a practical note, make sure the technical setup of the room is prepared for you, or request to get there early to set it up yourself. Make sure you've tested the device you're presenting from and see if it connects with the screen in the room, and if the audio will reach everyone in the room. You don't want to end up presenting via the medium of interpretive mime. (I have tried this and although it was fun, it didn't work).
On another practical note, make sure you've got a bottle of water, gum or breath freshener, and some tissues handy in case you get dry-mouthed or runny-nosed when you're nervous—like me.
The final touch
Without a doubt you'll have a fresh bunch of slick business cards to leave with each person. Also, think about what else you'll leave behind after your presentation, especially if you covered a lot of information. A one-page executive summary printed on your letterhead, to accompany a bound copy of your fully annotated presentation will ensure you're not forgotten.
Remember, the more you pitch, the more comfortable you'll become! Good luck, and please share your comments and any other tips we may have missed!

What is a padlock?
A padlock is a portable lock for limiting access to an enclosure or prevent anyone from removing objects within the area. They are used in everyday life for high and low-security installations. People use them to secure their luggage when travelling, lock fences, hasps, gates, cabinets, doors, lockers, chains and other areas or objects.
The most popular locking designs are warded mechanisms and pin-tumbler. In the past, lever padlocks were famous but has dwindled in most parts of the world in favour of the above-mentioned mechanisms.
All padlocks have a U-shaped shackle that only comes apart when the appropriate key or correct combination is used. Padlocks are not recommended for high-security buildings or homes because the shackles can be easily sawed or cut with a hacksaw or bolt cutter respectively. However, some newer models mitigate this problem with tough boron alloy shackles, shrouded to make it harder to cut.
Who invented padlock?
Padlocks have been used for thousands of years to defend against unauthorized entrance, theft, sabotage and vandalism. The earliest padlocks were used between 500 BC and 300 AD in ancient Babylon and Egypt. It spread to other civilizations in Greece, China and Rome and was only used for security purposes. As it travelled through countries, padlocks featured new upgrades such as swing shackle joints and ward springs in the 17th century.
Initial efforts by the Egyptians only found limited patronage in the Middle East and North Africa until Chinese locksmiths developed the first universal models in 1000BC and continued updating it until the rule of the Han Dynasty when it became an accessory for the wealthy, noble class. Romans had their first encounters with these padlocks during travels to Asia around 500 BC and it spread to the rest of Europe from there.
Modern technology has witnessed significant advances in manufacturing, resource gathering and tool production, which has helped locksmiths find new ways to create stronger, reliable locks that can stand the test of time and hold steady against burglars and thieves.
Parts of the padlock
Most padlocks have the same design features, which includes:
- Bolt or shackle – a rod made from steel material, attached to an object such as a chain, hasp or fence. The shackle keeps the object and padlock connected but it's also the weak link where thieves cut through to gain access.
- Body: the body surrounds the shackle and locking mechanism. It is developed from strong material, which makes it harder to tamper with the padlock's mechanism. Newer models attempt to cover as much of the body as possible to protect the shackle from forced entry and such padlocks are called shrouded padlocks.
- Locking mechanism: There are two types of locking mechanisms; Integrated and modular. The integrated mechanism requires the padlock key to unlock or close the padlock while the modular mechanism doesn't directly engage the tumblers to lock the shackle but features a plug in the cylinder that allows the locking dog to retract from the notches in the shackle.
How do padlocks works?
The three essential parts of the padlock are the life force are its life force. If you look inside the padlock, you will find the lower and upper metals going into the cylinder of the padlocks. The metal pins lock the cylinder until the correct key is inserted to release the padlock.
Types of padlocks
There are different types of padlocks depending on its' use from home, travelling, organizations and businesses. To provide the best options for each group, a broad variety of styles and options are in existence. These are the most popular padlock types in use today
Breakaway shackle: A type of locked with a scored shackle that breaks when struck by a substantial object such as a hammer. It is used when the lock might be removed quickly as an emergency response just like with a fire hose or sprinkler hose.
Combination lock: a lock that requires a series of symbols or number to open the lock. The number series might be entered through a single rotational dial or with rotation discs featuring inscribed numerals. Unlike conventional padlocks, combination locks do not use keys. The types of combination locks vary from high-security safes to three digits locks.
Shrouded padlocks: This type of lock features a heavy metal shield that guards the surrounding shackle on either side leaving only the top U shape visible.
High-security padlocks: One of the most secured padlocks in the market. Each one is made from hardened steel shackle, pick resistant cylinder, shrouded shackle and reinforced locking mechanism.
What padlock should I buy?
Padlocks are sold at any locksmith shop in London. When looking to buy a padlock here are some features to look out for:
- The padlock should fit the object and possess the required strength.
- The insurance company must approve the locks if it's to be used on an insured property or item.
- Buy padlocks from a reputable brand and retailer recommended by your locksmith
- The price you pay for the padlock should reflect in the value of property it's Buy good padlocks such as high-security combination locks for valued properties.
Your London locksmith specialist will offer more advice on the correct lock for any purpose, object or area.
How much is a padlock?
A padlock is an investment to secure your valuables. The type of material, brand and strength of the padlock determines its' price. If you buy a cheap padlock it means the item or area you're trying to protect has no meaningful value such as a shed with potting mix or an empty detached garage. A padlock for your tool shed, safe or office locker will require a high-tech model that is costly but worth it in effectiveness. Cheap padlocks are made from low-quality materials and leave you susceptible to a break-in or burglary so do not sacrifice quality for cost.
Are padlocks secure?
The strength and effectiveness of the padlock to secure your home and vital properties depends on the materials and design used to build the padlock. Your London locksmith is the best person to recommend the best padlock within your budget to safeguard your property and valuables.

This week totally flew by! I put in a little overtime at the day job and I could totally feel the effect on the daily chores around the apartment. This week I captured my instagram pictures using the rise filter. This one was similar to the valencia filter so next week I'm going to go for a different look.
Why is it so hard for me to pick where to hang pictures in our place? I guess I'm afraid of contaminating the white walls. Either way we did get some pictures up. It wouldn't be summer without getting ice cream and Carol's Polar Parlor is one of our favorite places to go and their pineapple milkshake is AMAZING! Speaking of things to drink, there's nothing like drinking a PBR on a hot summer's day - I indulged myself. My husband is perfecting yet another talent as a barista with our new espresso machine [how the heck did we pay our bills for June?! We got so many goodies - bye bye savings! Just kidding, but not really] and here are our colorful espresso mugs from Target. I also finally spent some of my Pottery Barn gift card from Christmas! I bought a set of ombre tumblers and those clear candle holders. Side story - the tumblers were stuck together and I had to return the first set because NO ONE could get them apart. I gave the ladies at PB a good work out! Yesterday I "attended" my first Blog Brunch and it was awesome! If you are a blogger I highly suggest checking it out and saying hi. Although I do miss having a balcony/porch the courtyard in our complex is gorgeous. The one downfall to our new place is the shower head...it sucks. Last night we picked out a new one and *fingers crossed* let's hope it is an improvement!
What instagram filter should I pick for next week?

Business Development Manager Eric Enriques Predicts 100% Revenue Growth at Jure Acquisition
Business Development Manager Eric Enriques Predicts 100% Revenue Growth at Jure Acquisition
SAN MARCOS, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 28, 2016) - Solar Integrated Roofing Corp. (OTC PINK: SIRC), a California-based integrated solar and roofing installation company, today announced that its CEO, David Massey, stated that the declining costs of installing a solar energy system on a residential roof mean that the loss of any tax breaks from the various states now considering ending them would have minimal effect on sales.
Mr. Massey told Donald Baillargeon of MoneyTV, "California has already stopped any state incentives for the residential side, the federal tax credit has been extended to 2022. Over the last 30 years, the cost of electricity has gone up 7% year over year, if that continues with the cost of electricity going up, I am confident that the cost of solar will keep going down as it has in the past. I think the value will still be there."
Mr. Massey, in response to a question about the shift from homeowners leasing to owning their solar systems, stated, "I think we're a trend setter. We've never really leased solar systems... We find that the purchase is a much better deal for the homeowners." He explained that originally leasing helped hide the high cost of the system. However, SIRC can finance the purchase of a solar system with a 12-year, low-interest loan, and the payments are usually less than for a lease. By owning a solar system rather than leasing it, a homeowner gets the federal tax credit plus any state incentives, as well as depreciation. SIRC systems also come with a 25-year warranty, which makes them almost risk-free.
In the same interview, Business Development Manager Eric Enriques discussed SIRC's recent acquisition of Jure Roofing, a 75-year-old, family-owned roofing company in Southern California. He noted that some of the customers of Jure have had two or three roofs put on their homes by the company. In addition to roofs, Jure offers support services like inspections and gutter cleaning. He stated, "Now, to be able to offer solar, that opens up a whole entire wave of energy." He predicted that Jure would see revenues rise from $1 million a year now to $2 million next year and $4 million the year after that, a significant amount of that growth coming from the added solar product line.

Actress Diane Guerrero, who stars as an inmate on the popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black, told CNN Monday that her parents were deported when she was a teenager, which is why she is backing President Obama's push for immigration reform through executive action.
During the televised interview, Guerrero painted a picture of a day when she came home from school to find that her parents had been taken away by immigration officers, something she claimed she was often prepared for.
"It is so difficult for some people to get documented and to get their papers and become legal, and my parents tried forever. And this system didn't offer relief for them," she said. "What I'm asking for is to create or find a solution for families."
The actress is now a volunteer for the Immigrant Legal Resource Center, which is a nonprofit group that advocates for the rights of immigrants. She wrote about her stance on immigration reform in a Los Angeles Times op-Ed piece this past weekend, where she discussed what it was like growing up without parents.
Guerrero strongly believes President Obama should use executive action to give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.
"Keeping families together is a core American value, she explained. "Congress needs to provide a permanent, fair legislative solution, but in the meantime families are being destroyed every day, and the president should do everything in his power to provide the broadest relief possible now. Not one more family should be separated by deportation."
In her editorial, Guerrero talked about coming home to an empty house when she was 14-years-old.
"Lights were on and dinner had been started, but my family wasn't there," said Guerrero. "Neighbors broke the news that my parents had been taken away by immigration officers, and just like that, my stable family life was over."
The actress went on to say that annual visits and phone calls to her family in Colombia could not fill the void of losing them. Instead, she relied heavily on support from friends and neighbors to graduate from high school and ultimately college.
Her brother, who was also deported, reportedly left behind a young daughter. The actress said: "She still had her mother, but in a single parent household, she faced a lot of challenges."
She added that her niece is now in jail "living the reality that I act out on screen."
"I realize the issues are complicated. But is not just in the interest of immigrants to fix the system: it's in the interest of all Americans," she wrote. "Children who grow up separated from their families often end up in foster care, or worse, in the juvenile justice system despite having parents who love them and would like to be able to care for them."

New York City, NY.
Imagine yourself in the city, sitting outside and enjoying your lunch. Suddenly, a random person comes to you and asks you for some of your food. What would you do? That's the idea behind this social experiment conducted by the team of OckTV. They wanted to see what would happen if strangers were asked for a slice of pizza. What do you think happened? Warning: there's some ugly language, but this video is a great lesson …
Please help if you can. For you maybe 5 or 6 dollars of your pocket. For somebody else might mean eating food for that day or not.
By looking at this social experiment I can see the reality of the society we live in. The "haves" don't want to share their belongings even if means nothing to them. The "have nots" are more willing to share because they feel how hard it is to have anything to eat. I think food is something we can share with everybody.
I often give food to people that approach me. A lot of beggars will come and ask for money, but I would ask them what they wanted it for, if they said it was for food I will buy them a slice or get them food. I wouldn't give them money because from my own experience, I will see these guys go out and buy drugs, alcohol, cigarettes.
I rather drink the alcohol my self and not buy it for anybody to get drunk. Food is something different. Food is a necessity that I think everybody on this earth should have. Even homeless people. Especially homeless people.

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
As technology generally continues to advance, one thing you can be sure of is the criminal justice system's use of innovative new "tools" will grow exponentially. This can be a good thing, but it can also be a very dangerous thing. Pennsylvania's new law that permits the use of data showing whether people are "deemed likely to commit additional crimes" in criminal sentencing, is a perfect example of how an over reliance on technology can be a threat to liberty and due process.
– From the post: Pennsylvania to Become First State to Use "Precrime" Statistics in Criminal Sentencing
Welcome to the future, ladies and gentleman.
From ZDNet:
A driver allegedly involved in two hit-and-run incidents was tracked down after her car alerted the police.
As reported by local news outlets, an unusual 911 call to emergency services took place on Friday in Port St. Lucie, Florida. You would usually expect a human voice on the end of the line, but in this scenario, a Ford vehicle alerted the police to a collision.
57-year-old woman Cathy Bernstein allegedly hit a truck before ploughing into a van on Prima Vista Boulevard, fleeing the scene after each collision. While Bernstein allegedly ran for the hills, her car had already recorded the crash and automatically contacted 911 after recording the time and date of the collision.
The car's safety features, used by by Ford, BMW and other automakers, make use of sensors and Internet connectivity to shave down the time emergency responders take to get to the scene of an accident.
As an example, Ford's SYNC's Emergency Assistance portal pushes the car to send a direct call to emergency services when the airbag is deployed or the fuel pump is deactivated — such as when a car suffers a sudden jolt against an object.
The system also gives 911 information including the car model, time, and GPS coordinates.
Usually, this would mean that drivers involved in an accident who are knocked out or cannot reach for their phones can be assisted as quickly as possible. However, in the case of hit-and-run drivers there will be nowhere to hide — as their car may snitch on them. You are automatically linked to a record of a collision's time, the vehicle involved — and therefore the accompanying registration details — and the location.
By 2018, every new vehicle sold within the grasp of the European Union must have this kind of emergency responder technology installed. While originally planned for 2015, despite delays, the EU says eCall emergency responder technology could save up to 2,500 lives a year.
It's a brave new world out there.
