17 Scams You Should Be Aware Of
1. The fake check scam
The fake check scam arises from many different situations (for instance, you applied for a job, or you are selling something on a place like Craigslist, or someone wants to purchase goods or services from your business, or you were offered a job as a mystery shopper, you were asked to wrap your car with an advertisement, or you received a check in the mail for no reason), but the bottom line is always something like this:
How Does Rebar Strengthen Concrete?
Concrete is very strong in compression (loads trying to crush the concrete,) but very weak in tension (loads that try to pull the concrete apart,) and very weak in shear (loads that try to snap the concrete like how you’d break a twig in half.)
Steel is a linear elastic material that is basically equally strong in all directions – tension, compression, shear… has pretty much equal resistance to all of them.

The Dumping Grounds
Why Is Beef Jerky So Expensive?
Jerky is expensive because whole cuts of beef are expensive. It seems even more expensive for jerky because the dehydration condenses the mass of the product, but when it is sold by the pound originally, all of the water weight is counted.
A pound of steak becomes a few ounces of beef jerky, and the few ounces of jerky need to cover the cost of the steak and energy required to evaporate all the water and add the tasty smoke.
Picture of the Day
In 1996, Binti Jua, an 8-year-old female Western lowland gorilla, tended to a 3-year-old boy who had fallen into her enclosure at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois.
The child had climbed the wall and fallen 24 feet (7.3m), breaking his hand and receiving a large gash on his face. Binti walked over and cradled the boy in her arms. She carried him over to the service entrance and handed him over to her zookeepers. Her 17-month old baby, Koola clutched her back throughout the whole ordeal.
