Repair a stained glass crack

How do you repair a stained glass crack with crazy glue?
It does require some skills to repair a cracked piece of glass in a window, no matter what method you choose. Is it a single crack? Multiple crack? Is the cracked piece in the border or within the main body of the window? If it’s in the border area, then it may be easy for you to remove the piece and either repair it or change it. If it’s in the main body of the window, it gets tricky. My recommendation would be to bring it to a stained glass repair person. If you decide not to, and the window is not of any historical value then you could just infuse the crack with “Crazy Glue.” Just clean the cracked piece with acetone using a cotton swab and make sure you flush the crack well with the acetone. Wait a minute or two, and gently apply the glue starting from the center of the crack and working your way to the edges.

Give it a try; if you are not happy with the result, the process is reversible.

It’s right and wrong and leadership

“How far would Moses have gone if he had taken a poll in Egypt? What would Jesus Christ have preached if he had taken a poll in the land of Israel? What would have happened to the Reformation if Martin Luther had taken a poll? It isn’t polls or public opinion of the moment that counts. It’s right and wrong and leadership.” ~ Harry Truman

Bust of Virgil, Displayed in Rome

Virgil, the poet who wrote the epic poem Aeneid, was born on 15th of October in 70 BCE. The poem told the story of Aeneas, who, in Greek mythology, escaped Troy after the Trojan War and eventually made his way to Italy where his descendants founded Rome. Virgil died before he could finish his poem, which was 12 books long; though the poem is considered complete, many of the lines are unfinished. The most famous translation of the Aeneid is by John Dryden, the 17th-century English poet.

The Taj Mahal

It was the ultimate romantic gesture. When Mumtaz Mahal died after giving birth to her 14th child, her heartbroken husband, Shah Jahan, ordered the construction of an elaborate mausoleum to serve as her final resting place. It took 20,000 workers 22 years to complete the monument, and legend says that the workers were then killed to prevent them from building a structure that would rival the grandiosity of the Taj Mahal. Some sources say the site was finally completed on this date in 1654. Located in Agra, India, the monument includes the mausoleum, gateways, buildings and gardens that were meant to reflect the gardens of Paradise. When Shah Jahan died in 1666, he was buried alongside his most beloved wife in the Taj Mahal.

TAPAS

Tapas. The word literally means “heat” or “essential energy” and, as Simmons brilliantly articulates in his equally brilliant book, Do You!, as we live our life with discipline, passion and integrity, we burn thru the negativity that can separate us from God.

Dharma

“The person who understands Dharma will have the opposite reaction to a “hard” job. That person will be eager to get started, no matter what kind of work is in front of her, because she understands that she’s doing God’s work. And when you’re working for God, nothing is too hard.” ~ Russell Simmons from Do You!

BUBBLE GUM

The US is the largest producer, exporter and consumer of chewing gum. That’s partly due to the patent that was issued on this date in 1869 to William Finley Semple of Ohio for a confection made of chicle, flavorings and sweetener. Nowadays some gum manufacturers substitute a petroleum-based plastic for the chicle. The first bubblegum was invented in 1906 by Frank Fleer; it was called Blibber-Blubber gum. The Fleer Corporation later invented Dubble Bubble, the first commercially successful bubblegum. It is not true that if you swallow enough gum your stomach will eventually stick to your back.

Happy Labor Day!

On September 5, 1882, the Knights of Labor organized the first parade honoring New York’s workers. Two years later, they voted to make it an annual event. Over the next ten years some thirty states across the US followed New York’s lead and declared a day to honor laborers with parades, fairs, barbecues and picnics. In 1894, an act of Congress finally declared the first Monday of September to be a federal holiday — Labor Day — dedicated to America’s work force. Halfway between the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving, Labor Day signals an end to summer and the beginning of the new school year. In 1907, labor leader and UAW chief Walter Reuther was born. Happy Labor Day!

How do you stop a monopoly?

In a competitive environment, monopoly CANNOT be stopped. It is the process of competition by which the driving force of the market sector breathes. One may enter the monopoly of a given sector to compete in monopoly, but in order to stop monopolistic competition or halt it to a substantial degree one must declare itself in pure monopoly. This may only occur when all other companies have exited the market due to the extreme barriers to entry, such as a lack of profit making for any company besides the company in pure monopoly.

Space-time continuum

Single entity that relates space and time in a four-dimensional structure, postulated by Albert Einstein in his theories of relativity. In the Newtonian universe it was supposed that there was no connection between space and time. Space was thought to be a flat, three-dimensional arrangement of all possible point locations, which could be expressed by Cartesian coordinates; time was viewed as an independent one-dimensional concept. Einstein showed that a complete description of relative motion requires equations that include time as well as the three spatial dimensions.
