Your messengers, HTTPS protocol sites, authorization in Internet services, secure file storage, and sometimes even alarm clocks - all these things use PGP. But what is it anyway? Wikipedia gives the following definition: Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is an encryption program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is used for signing, encrypting, and decrypting texts, e-mails, files, directories, and whole disk partitions and to increase the security of e-mail communications. Phil Zimmermann developed PGP in 1991.
PGP and similar software follow the OpenPGP standard (RFC 4880), an open standard for encrypting and decrypting data. Modern versions of PGP are interoperable with GnuPG and other OpenPGP-compliant systems. It's clear in words, but let's see how it works. Concept Let's imagine that we have user A and user B. They need to start communicating, but in such a way that no one can find out about the contents of their correspondence. This is where encryption comes in. Modern systems use Rjindael (currently AES), DES, RC4, and some other algorithms. I will not go into details of their work. All you need to know about them is that if you give them input data and a key, you get an encrypted byte array, which can be reversed with the same key. Like a padlock, they open and close, but without a key, it is almost impossible to do so (there are no effective ways to break these algorithms). Such encryption algorithms are called symmetric encryption algorithms. And that's the answer, isn't it? Let user A give his key to user B. Then you can encrypt your correspondence from both sides, and no one will know what they write to each other. Of course, if both users know each other in real life, one can give the other a flash drive with the key on it. But on the Internet it is impossible to do this, users are far from two, and one service can serve millions of different users per day. Also, it is not always possible to give your personal encryption key to everyone with whom you correspond in person during a meeting. Electronic Signature Since passing your private key from the same AES is like compromising your security, the question arises - how can user A safely pass his key to user B? The solution is to sign keys and e-mails with another key! But only this second key will be from an asymmetric encryption algorithm. The essence is the same as in symmetric, but now, there is no single key from the lock - there are two. One is “public”, the data can only be encrypted with it, and the second is “private”, which is able to decrypt the data processed by the public key of its pair. Such a process allows you to freely publish your public key without compromising your security. This is the basis of the principle of operation of “Electronic Signatures.” They are needed so that user B of the data can be sure that the data has been encrypted with the key that belongs to user A, and vice versa. The signature is created from the hash of the original data and is attached to the packet sent. The recipient decrypts the signature with the public key, compares it with the hash of the received data, and if they match, the sender is a genuine user and not a fraudster. Web of Trust OK, we have figured out how to perform a handshake (handshake is the process of forming a secure communication channel). Now, imagine that between users A and B, there is another user, C. “C” is an attacker who needs to know about the details of A and B's communication. He creates two key pairs to sign and two more keys to encrypt the data. To user A, he presents himself as user B, and to user B as user A. The reality is that in the realities of the Internet, one cannot be 100% sure that the resulting electronic signature and key are genuine. So, if such a scenario is really possible, will our A and B not be safe? There is salvation! Now, we have reached the main topic - the “Web of Trust.” This network consists of the fact that all users know the public keys of each other's electronic signatures, and each member of the network can be asked: “Does this key, which was sent to me by user B, belong to him and not to some intruder?” In this case, a network of trust can be very efficient even with a small number of participants, because if one knows the other, the third, by asking the first, will know the public key of the second. Like the roots of an oak tree, the Web of Trust is intertwined, allowing users to share data. Now, our user C can no longer impersonate other users. Only if he tries, user A, asking any of the network members, will realize that someone is standing between him and user B and intercepting messages. Generalization Now, let's combine all these concepts into one simple scheme. User A and user B are both in the same trust network and want to start a secure communication. “A” asks multiple members of the network for ‘B's’ public key. Using this key, he sends a handshake request to user B. “B,” in turn, learns the public key of user A, generates a symmetric key for further communication, and, using the public key of user A, sends the symmetric key back. All messages in this scheme are also signed with electronic signatures. With this communication, no outside interference is possible, and our users can finally begin to correspond. There is no point in using this scheme manually - it is already built into all possible Internet communication protocols by your browsers and applications. Bottom Line No system is perfect. MITM (Man in the middle, in our case - a way to forge certificates by verifying fake keys with signatures trusted by the victim user's browser) attacks are still being performed today. But if you see that “green lock” near the address bar of your browser, your data is in the safe hands of the PGP algorithm.

Inception is an open source annotation tool which can be freely downloaded from the authors’ GitHub repository. Although for this project, every annotator will be provided with a ready-to-code version of the program with all necessary annotation layers and settings already implemented and some sample annotations included. This instance of Inception can be requested from the project administrator Jakob Vogel. 3.1. Setup To set up Inception on your local computer, make sure you already received your personal instance of the software. If not, please contact the project administrator. Inception comes as a jar-file. In order to run it, you need to have the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. Furthermore, make sure the file is set as executable. Then open the directory ”Inception” in your command prompt and run: To access Inception’s graphical user interface (GUI), go to a web browser and open: http://localhost:8080/ On your first time running Inception, you will need to import the project and set up your personal user account: • First, log in as admin (User ID: admin ; Password: admin). • Click on ”Import project” and select the file ”proj-div-CDCR.zip” from the ”Inception” directory. Make sure to check the boxes ”Import permissions” (already checked by default) and ”Create missing users” (unchecked by default). Then click ”Import”. • Click on ”Administration” in the GUI’s right top corner. Then click on ”Users”. • Select your personal user or create a new one here. Assign a password to your user. Additionally, assign the role ”ROLE USER” to your user (already assigned by default). Finally, check the box ”Account enabled” and click ”Save”. • Log out of the current Inception session. From now on, to log into Inception, use your personal user account details instead of the admin account. To get to the annotation GUI, log in with your personal account now and click on the highlighted project name ”Diverse cross-document coreference”. Then, in the left taskbar, click on ”Annotation”. A window opens that shows a list of all documents to be annotated. The first digit in every title is a discourse identifier that sorts all documents according to their topic, followed by an underscore and a newspaper abbreviation (see Introduction). You can annotate documents in chronological order or randomly, whichever you prefer. Click on one of the documents to start your annotation. 3.2. User manual Inception offers a variety of functionalities of which only those relevant for our project are described here. For a full explanation of how to use Inception, please check the official documentation which can be accessed online or from within the Inception GUI by clicking on ”Help” in the right upper corner. Every annotator’s instance of Inception contains two basic layers of annotation. The first layer, called Entity layer, is triggered when a mention is marked by highlighting text with a simple press-hold-drag mechanism. This opens the layer’s side panel. Here, annotators can fill in the Entity layer’s three parameters: • Entity-type: a drop-down list to select a mention’s entity-type by clicking on or typing the type’s abbreviation. • Global entity-name: a mixture of free textfield and drop-down list to assign a global entity’s name to a mention. If the name has already been used before, it can be selected as item from the drop-down list by again clicking or typing. If not, it can be freely typed which adds it as a new tag to the list. • Wikidata: a search field to type the name of an entity and find its respective Wikidata URI. item from the drop-down list by again clicking or typing. If not, it can be freely typed which adds it as a new tag to the list. • Wikidata: a search field to type the name of an entity and find its respective Wikidata URI. The second layer, called Relation, is triggered when two already marked mentions are connected to each other, again simply by clicking and holding on one mention and dragging the mouse to the other mention. This layer only contains one parameter which is named Label. It is a drop-down list to select a relation-type for labelling the connection between both mentions. After the first annotations have been made, Inception starts to suggests spans and values for new annotations on the Entity layer. These suggestions are displayed in gray boxes. One click on a box accepts the suggestion and turns it into a proper annotation, a double-click denies the suggestion and makes the box disappear. The GUI’s upper panel is mostly for navigating through the document. However, it also contains a button for resetting the document by deleting all annotations made so far and a button in the shape of a padlock to mark the annotation process of the document as finished. This button should be pressed at the very end of the annotation, though it is advisable to first annotate each document before marking all of them together as officially finished. Clicking on the gear wheel opens up the GUI’s style settings. Here, annotators have the option to adjust panels’ margin sizes, the colouring of annotations, and how many text rows are to be displayed simultaneously. Annotations are saved automatically which is why there exists no saving button in the GUI. This paper is available on arxiv under CC 4.0 license.

Diverse Cross-document Coreference and Media Bias Analysis 

Salespersons and copywriters know that the key to conversions is emotions. People make an and then rationally justify their decision. emotionally-based decision at first It is almost never the other way around. So, if you want to drive higher conversions like more email signups, more social media followers, or more sales, creating an emotional impact is key. And images are one of the most powerful ways to achieve this. When you use the right imagery in the right way, you can improve conversion rates and grow your faster. business In this post, I’ll cover some of the top ways you can leverage visuals to convert. Let’s go. Add Human Faces Think of the last time you downloaded a game or clicked on an ad because they included a person in the thumbnail. You’ve likely done it more times than you care to admit. Adding people’s faces to your home page, social media post, or some other area is certain to drive up engagement as well as conversions. Here’s what you should know about what makes faces and people so appealing to our psychology. (The following points are referenced from a post by .) Highbrow Smiles Eye Contact POV In general, images of people smiling have higher conversion rates than pictures with neutral expressions. Likewise, photos where the subject looks directly at the viewer will connect more. Finally, POV or Point of View has to do with the angle at which the viewer sees the image, i.e., an image of a person looking upwards at the viewer will create different impressions than one of an image where a person is looking away or downwards at the viewer. What you should know is that the type of expression, face, and image you choose should depend on your goal and audience. Do you want to convey professionalism? Then, a sterner expression and folded arms might be suitable. But if you want to invite people to visit your site, a smile would work better. As we’ll point out later, you need to test which images work best to drive the best results. Leverage Color There are many theories on the impact of color and while it is clear that color does make an impact on buying psychology - there’s no consistent information about what works in every scenario. Much depends on the purpose for which you use a color and where you apply it. In branding (which is related to conversions but also different), there are clear links between color and brand image. For example, browns and greens convey calmness and are often associated with greenery, energy, sustainability, and related concepts. Black is associated with professionalism and seriousness. in terms of driving leads. Red is said to have the best performance However, this doesn’t mean that if you use the color green in your content, it won’t convert. More than relying on a specific hue to get people to buy, you need to look at context and placement. For example, as long as your call to action button stands out and has a complementary color on a website, it will draw the eye and entice people to click on buy, sign up, or some other conversion metric. judge a business based on its web design - so you want to ensure that you’re leveraging how your site looks and feels to keep a steady stream of customers. 75% of people Here are some factors to consider when using color to ensure higher conversion rates: Contrast: Make sure that areas where you want the most attention have contrasting colors. Consistency: While colors are powerful, using more than 3-5 in any asset is a surefire way to lose customers. Stick a fixed number of specific colors and apply them consistently on all marketing assets. Cultural associations: Be mindful of how different cultures perceive colors. White may imply purity in some places but mourning in others. Do your research before you use a color in any geographical location. Complementarity: Never pick out colors randomly. Make sure that your palette of colors complements each other. Fortunately, there are free online tools where you can add colors you like, and the tool will automatically generate suitable colors that complement them. With these principles in mind, you’ll be better able to apply colors well in your assets to boost conversions. Think of Typography We’ve all played with changing fonts on documents as kids. We’ve used elaborate, unreadable, cursive fonts for stories. Or we played around with Comic Sans to convey fun and play. We have an intuitive understanding of the role that typography plays in conveying emotions and messages. Typography is the art and science of arranging letters to make them appealing and impactful. You should look at words and letters as visual ornaments and not just for the semantic meaning they convey. There are many ways typography can support conversions: Your choice of font will support your brand and the values consumers hold - leading to a higher likelihood of conversions Good typography creates a better user experience since it removes dissonance and ensures customers navigate an app or website easily. The choice of typography can attract a user’s attention to specific words and areas, which in turn can guide people to join an email list, buy, or take some other action. These are a few ways that typography can support higher conversions. They are visual mediums and must be leveraged to the fullest to create an impact on your audience. Use Icons and Symbols If you want to understand the power of icons and symbols, think of the emoji. It’s a standard part of modern communication where we rely heavily on text, and without emojis, we’d experience significant miscommunication and ruptured relationships. Today, icons and symbols play a big role in website and app design and they’re a powerful visual asset that can drive conversions. For example, research institute found that a ‘made-up’ symbol like a padlock icon or security badge created a greater sense of security. Baymard So, if you want to improve your payment checkout conversions, consider adding the little padlock symbol to your form in the right place. (Another interesting finding from Baymard is making the checkout process ‘robust’ by adding an outline or a line to contain the checkout form. This simple visual tactic contains the payment form and implies greater security during checkout.) In this way, make sure you use a carefully designed set of icons and symbols to make navigating your site easier and to convey ease and security on your products. Whitespace A user’s visual journey is not just influenced by the number of images on your site or app but also by the whitespace or the empty space around elements on your platform. Whitespace allows your content and features to breathe and keep users from getting overwhelmed. And when used correctly, it can draw attention to important parts of your site. So, don’t neglect to use whitespace as wisely as you do the other elements mentioned here. Carry out A/B Testing to Verify Your Design Choices No matter how experienced a UX/UI designer is, you must always test your design choices through user testing. This means presenting important visual content to your target audience base and asking for feedback. A good methodology to try is split testing or A/B testing. Give users a choice between two designs, A and B. And the one that wins the majority vote should be your design choice or improved and tested further. Only through testing can you figure out if your visual assets are impactful and create the right impression on your audience. Over to You There you have it: a breakdown of how to make your visual elements have a greater impact. Try to implement these aspects into your design, product development, and more. You’re certain to see a rise in conversions, which will lead to overall business success.

Visual Mastery: How to Create Impactful Marketing That Drives Engagement

In the digital space, code signing certificates and SSL certificates are popular. The reason is that it is useful in protecting software and websites. These certificates ensure that software and websites are safe and protected from . It is necessary to understand what these certificates are. It will help us to understand what they are used for. Additionally, it will help us know the differences between code signing and SSL certificates. hackers What is a code signing certificate? A code signing certificate is a certificate available on software. It is usually after a software publisher or developer has signed it. It ensures that nothing on the software has been altered by any third party since its signing. Code signing is carried out by digitally signing executables and scripts. It ensures that no third party can corrupt the software or alter it. This is usually done before making the software available to the public for download. Software that has a code signing certificate assures users. It shows that the application is from a trusted source. They will not expose themselves or their data to hackers. A code signing certificate shows the authenticity and integrity of the software. What is an SSL certificate? SSL stands for . So, SSL certificates are used to encrypt the connection between a website and a browser. It ensures that all communications are saved and encrypted while being transmitted. This means that sensitive information cannot be tampered with by any third party or a hacker. This is possible because the information is encrypted. A website with an SSL certificate usually has HTTPS instead of just HTTP. There is also a padlock sign in the URL of the website. Any person who is visiting a website will have the assurance that the website is safe. They will also know that they will not be exposing themselves and their data to hackers. Secure Socket Layer Differences between Code Signing certificate and SSL certificate On the surface, a code signing certificate and SSL certificate may look the same. The reason is that they are both used to protect and encrypt. It also ensures the authenticity of software and websites, respectively. You can also get low-price SSL and code signing certificates. However, there are a few differences between these two. The major differences between code signing and SSL certificates are as follows: Feature Code Signing Certificate SSL Certificate Purpose Securing software and establishing trust Securing websites and encrypting data Verification Verifies the identity of the software developer. Verifies the identity of the website owner. Usage Used for distributing plugins, drivers, and scripts. Used to secure websites and online transactions. Trust Indicators Verifiable through the digital signature of code. Easily visible with the padlock icon in browsers. Cost Differences Generally more expensive than SSL certificates. Prices are typically lower than code signing certs. Use of Keys Digital signatures confirm software integrity. Encryption keys secure data during transmission. Purpose The purposes of using code signing and SSL certificates are different. Software publishers use code signing certificates on their software. The reason is to protect the software and establish trust with their end user. It also assures them of the integrity of the software. It lets people know that no one has tampered with the software since it was signed. In contrast, SSL certificates are used on websites. It encrypts all data that is in transmission on the website. This means that the communication going on between a web server and a browser is secure. So, a person visiting and using a website knows that a website is safe. Verification Imagine being at a crossroads, wondering which product to go for. You see good reviews about one product, and the other has more bad reviews. To make your decision, you will go with the product that has more good than bad reviews. Why? The reason is that you have the assurance that it is the best product. It is the same thing with code signing and SSL certificates. These certificates assure users that the website and software are good. However, certificate authorities (CA) give the code signing certificate after verification. They verify the identity of the software developer or organization. The CA registers the business, address, and contact details for code signing certificates. Developers may be required to complete a phone verification process. They may also submit a notarized document along with a valid photo ID. CAs give SSL certificates when they verify the website's owner's identity. The CA has to verify that the applicant is the owner of the website. They usually send a verification email with a link to the email address of the applicant. When the applicant clicks on it, their identity is verified. They ensure that everything is good and in place. So users do not run into problems after getting the software or visiting the website. Usage SSL certificates are used to secure websites. In the process, transactions carried out on the website are safe and encrypted. Sensitive information like your personal details, passwords, and bank details are not accessed. Your online shopping or banking details are also safe. For distributing software and codes, code signing certificates are useful. These included plugins, drivers, scripts, and downloadable software. Trust indicators SSL and code signing certificates are trust indicators. A person visiting a website can easily detect a website that has an SSL certificate. The padlock icon easily shows a visitor that a website is secure. So, SSL certificates are necessary for creating secure connections between browsers and websites. It enables for secure communication. HTTPS protocol On the other hand, a code signing certificate is not easily visible to the end user of a software. A user can check a code signing certificate by checking the digital signature of the code. The publisher or author's name is verifiable. It is visible on the code that has a valid code signing certificate. Additionally, code-signing certificates do not directly interact with web browsers. This is in contrast to how an SSL certificate does. 5. Cost differences The price for code signing certificates and SSL certificates varies. Code signing certificate prices are higher than SSL certificates. Certain things have contributed to this difference in price. It may include the verification procedure for getting the certificate. It also includes the target audience of those buying the certificate and the way it is used. Also, the validity durations of SSL certificates vary. They often last between one and two years before needing to be renewed. The price of the certificates varies depending on the features available. The level of validation available also affects it. But, a code signing certificate is usually more expensive than an SSL certificate. Code signing certificates have a validity duration of one to three years. However, this can vary depending on industry norms and particular circumstances. 6. Use of keys In both code signing and SSL certificates, there is a use of keys, but how it is used differs. In SSL certificates, for secure data transmission, encryption keys are used. This means sensitive data are secure. They include things like credit card details, login credentials, and other personal data. When a user is making an online purchase or any form of transaction, they are not scared. The reason is that their details will not be accessed by hackers. Digital signatures that contain keys are used in code-signing certificates. It is used to confirm the integrity of the software. The signature is necessary to put the software user's mind at rest. It lets them know that there has been no alteration after the software was signed. It also ensures that there is no man-in-the-middle attack. In such scenarios, the hacker may include a malicious virus in the software. So, when people download the software, they can get sensitive information. Conclusion There are several regional regulations and industry standards available. It is used in regulating both SSL and code signing certificates. This means that they are subject to regulatory compliance. The regulatory compliance may include key management practices. It also includes variation procedures and specific security protocols. A code signing or SSL certificate can be revoked. Certain things lead to CAs revoking a code signing or SSL certificate. It can be that there has been a compromise of private keys or there are security breaches. So, get good code signing and SSL certificates that are industry standard. Also, ensure that you follow the rules to ensure that your certificates are not revoked.

Where to Find Cheap Stuff to Tinker With

102 Stories To Learn About Encryption

Things To Make by Archibald Williams is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . CABINET-MAKING. here IX. CABINET-MAKING. A Match-box Cabinet. This is useful for the storage of small articles, such as stamps, pens, seeds, needles, and a number of other minor things which easily go astray if put in a drawer with larger objects. The best boxes for the purpose are those used for the larger Bryant and May matches. Select only those boxes of which the tray moves easily in the case. The cases should be stood on end on some flat surface while being glued together. A box or drawer with truly square corners is useful for assembling them in; if they are packed into one corner they cannot slew about. Press the boxes together while the glue is setting. Now glue the back ends of the cases (from which the trays should have been removed), and press them against a piece of thin card. When the glue is dry, apply some more with a small brush to the back angles inside the covers, to ensure a good hold on the backing. Trim off the card to the outline of the pile. [Illustration: FIG. 27.—Match-box cabinet.] Select for the front end of the drawer that for which the wood is doubled over. Paste outside the end a piece of white paper, whereon words and numbers will be more plainly visible. The life of the trays will be increased if the insides are neatly lined with thin paper. For “handles” use boot buttons, or loops of thin brass wire, or brass paper clips. To give the cabinet a neat appearance you should cover it outside with paper of some neutral tint; and if you wish it to be stable and not upset when a rather sticky drawer is pulled out, glue it down to a solid wooden base of the proper size. A Cardboard Cabinet. We now proceed to a more ambitious undertaking—the manufacture of a cabinet for the storage of note-paper, envelopes, labels, etc. The only materials needed are some cardboard and glue; the tools, a ruler and a very sharp knife. For the marking out a drawing board and T-square are invaluable. The cardboard should be fairly stout, not less than 1/16 inch thick. Begin with the drawers; it is easier to make the case fit the drawers than vice versa. Mark out the drawers as shown in Fig. 28. The areas AA are the front and back; BB the sides. The dotted lines indicate the lines along which the cardboard is bent up. The sides are of exactly the same length as the bottom, but the front and back are longer than the bottom by twice the thickness of the cardboard, so as to overlap the sides. (The extra length is indicated by the heavy black lines.) [Illustration: FIG. 28.—Drawer of cardboard cabinet marked ready for cutting.] Measure and cut out very carefully to ensure all the drawers being of the same size. Lay a piece of card under the thing cut to avoid blunting the knife or damaging the table. When the blanks are ready, cut them almost through along the dotted lines. Use several strokes, and after each stroke test the stubbornness of the bend. When the card is almost severed it will bend up quite easily. Note.—Bend as shown in the inset C; not the other way, or you will snap the card. If you should be so unlucky as to cut the card through in places, paste a strip of thin paper along the line before turning up. The four flaps are now bent up, glued together, and covered outside with paper. This part of the business is easy enough if a small square-cornered wooden box be used as a support inside at each angle in turn. It is advisable to glue strips along all the bends both inside and outside. The external strips should be flattened down well, so as to offer no loose edges. Compare the drawers, and if one is slightly wider than the rest, use it to guide you in making the measurements for the case. The sides and back of the case are cut out of a single piece. The sides should be a quarter of an inch deeper than the drawers to allow some overlap; the back slightly wider than the drawer. As each drawer will be separated from that above it by a shelf, allowance must be made for the shelves, and also for a twentieth of an inch or so of “play” to each drawer. To keep on the safe side leave a little extra stuff to be removed later on. Cut out the bottom to fit inside the back and sides exactly, and a sufficient number of shelves of precisely the same size as the bottom. Attach the bottom to the sides and back with internal and external strips. When the glue has set, place the guide drawer in position, and lay on it a piece of thin card to cover it over. This card is merely a removable “spacer.” Along the side and back edges of the shelf stick projecting strips of stout paper. When the adhesive is dry, turn the strips round the end at right angles to the division, glue them outside, and lay the division in position on top of the “spacer.” Place the second drawer and shelf in like manner, and continue till the top of the cabinet is reached. Then mark off and cut away any superfluous card. Glue the top edges, and stand the cabinet head downwards on a piece of cardboard. Trim off the edges of this, and the top is completed, except for binding the corners. Then attend to the outside back corners of the case, and paste strips in the angles under the shelves. The strips should be forced well into the angles. For handles use brass rings let sufficiently far through the fronts of the drawers for a wedge of card to be slipped through them and stuck in position. The appearance of the cabinet will be enhanced by a neatly applied covering of paper. A Cigar-box Cabinet. At the rate of a halfpenny or less apiece one may buy the cigar boxes made to hold twenty-five cigars. These boxes, being fashioned by machinery, are all—at any rate all those devoted to a particular “brand”—of the same dimensions; they are neatly constructed, and their wood is well seasoned. Anyone who wishes to make a useful little cabinet may well employ the boxes as drawers in the said cabinet (Fig. 29). Each box should be prepared as follows:-Remove the lid and paper lining, and rub all the paper binding off the outside angles with a piece of coarse glass paper. This is a safer method than soaking-off, which may cause warping and swelling of the wood. Then plane down the tops of the two sides till they are flush with the back and front, and glue into the corners small pieces of wood of right-angled-triangle section to hold the sides together and the bottom to the sides. To secure the parts further cut a number of large pins down to 3/4 inch, and drive these into the sides through holes carefully drilled in the bottom. Finally, rub the outside of the drawer well with fine glass paper or emery cloth till the surface is smooth all over. The Case.—If mahogany can be obtained for this, so much the better, as the wood will match the boxes. In default of it, a white wood, stained, will have to serve. [Illustration: FIG. 29.—Cabinet with cigar-box drawers.] The two sides of the case should be prepared first Wood 3/8 inch thick is advised. Each side is 1 inch wider than the depth (outside) of a drawer from front to back. (Whether the drawers shall slide in lengthways or flatways is for the maker to decide.) The length of a side is calculated on the basis that the drawers will be separated from one another by runners 1/4 to 5/16 inch deep, and that a slight clearance must be allowed for the drawers to slide in and out freely. In the first instance cut the sides a bit too long. If it be preferred to insert the bottom between the sides, the length must be increased accordingly. The runners are cut out of the box lids, and planed till their top and bottom edges are parallel. Their length is 1/4 inch less than the depth of a drawer. To fill up the spaces between the drawers in front you will need some slips of the same depth as the runners, and 3/8 inch longer than the drawer, so that they may be let 3/16 inch into the sides of the case at each end. Affixing the Runners.—This is a very easy matter if a wooden spacer, slightly wider than the depth of the drawer, is prepared. Having decided which is to be the inside face and the forward edge of a side, lay the side flat, and apply the spacer with one edge flush with the bottom of the side, or as far away from it as the thickness of the bottom, as the case may be, and fix it lightly in position with a couple of tacks. The first runner is laid touching the spacer and a little back from the edge to give room for the cross-bar, and fastened by means of short tacks, for which holes had better be drilled in the runner to prevent splitting. The spacer is now transferred to the other side of the runner, and the second runner is fastened on above it; and so on till all the runners are in position. The square should be used occasionally to make sure that the tops of the runners are parallel to one another. The other side having been treated in like manner, any spare wood at the top is sawn off. The notches for the front cross-bars between drawers are cut out with a very sharp narrow chisel. The Top and Bottom.—Make the top of the same thickness as the sides; the bottom of somewhat stouter wood. If the bottom is cut a bit longer than the width of the case, and neatly bevelled off, it will help to smarten the appearance of the cabinet. When fixing the sides to the bottom and top get the distance correct by placing the top and bottom drawers in position, and insert a piece of thin card between one end of the drawer and the side. This will ensure the necessary clearance being allowed for. The Back.—Cut this out of thin wood. The top of a sweetstuff box-costing about a halfpenny—will do well enough. It should be quite rectangular and make a close fit, as it plays the important part of keeping the case square laterally. Bevel its back edges off a bit. Push it in against the back ends of the runners, and fix it by picture brads driven in behind. The front bars should now be cut to a good fit and glued in the notches. This completes the construction. Drop handles for the drawers may be made out of semicircles of brass wire with the ends turned up. The handles are held up to the drawer by loops of finer wire passed through the front and clinched inside. The finishing of the outside must be left to the maker’s taste. Varnishing, or polishing with warmed beeswax, will add to the general appearance, and keep out damp. The total cost of a ten-drawer cabinet ought not to exceed eighteen pence. A Tool Cabinet. The wooden cabinet shown in Fig. 30 is constructed, as regards its case, in the same way as that just described, but the drawers are built up of several pieces. The over-all dimensions of the cabinet represented are as follows: Height, including plinth, 25 inches; width, 17-3/8 inches; depth, 10-1/2 inches. The drawers are 16 inches wide (outside), by 10-1/8 inches from back to front, and, reckoning from the bottom upwards, are 3-1/4, 3, 2-1/2, 2, 2, 2, 2, and 1-3/4 inches deep. [Illustration: FIG. 30.—Large cabinet (a), details of drawer joints (b, c, d), and padlock fastening (e).] The construction of the drawers is indicated by the diagrams, Fig. 30, b, c, d. The fronts are of 5/8-inch, the sides and backs of 3/8-inch, and the bottoms of (barely) 1/4-inch wood. The grooves should not come nearer than 1/8-inch to the bottom edge, or be more than 5/16 inch wide and deep. The possessor of a suitable “plough” plane will have no difficulty in cutting them out; in the absence or such a tool the cutting gauge and chisel must be used. The back piece of a drawer has 1/4-inch less height than the front, to allow the bottom to be introduced. The ends or the bottom are bevelled off towards the top edge to fit the grooves, so that no part may be above the grooves. Glue should be used to attach the sides of a drawer to the back and front in the first place, and nails be added when the glue has set. As an aid to obtaining perfect squareness, without which the drawers will fit badly, it is advisable to mark out on a board a rectangle having the exact inside dimensions of a drawer, and to nail strips of wood up to the lines on the inside. If the parts are put together round this template they will necessarily fit squarely. Divisions.—If the drawers are to be subdivided in one direction only, the partitions should run preferably from back to front, as this enables the contents of a compartment to be more easily seen. Where two-direction division is needed the partitions are cut as shown in Fig. 31. All partitions should touch the bottom, and be made immovable by gluing or nailing. It is a mistake to have so many divisions in a drawer that the fingers cannot get into them easily. Wooden knobs for the drawers can be bought very cheaply of any turner, or suitable brass knobs at any ironmonger’s. Take care that the knobs are in line with one another; otherwise the general appearance of the cabinet will suffer. [Illustration: FIG. 31.—Divisions of drawer notched to cross each other.] Lock and Key.—If a cabinet is intended for storage of articles of any value it should be provided with lock and key. One lock will secure all the drawers if attached to a flap hinged on one side to the cabinet, as shown in Fig. 30 a, to engage a catch projecting from one of the drawers. A special form of lock is sold for the purpose. If the single flap seems to give a lop-sided effect, place a fellow on the other side, and fit it with sunk bolts to shoot into the overhanging top and plinth. If you wish to avoid the expense and trouble of fitting a lock, substitute a padlock and a staple clinched through the front of a drawer and passing through a slot in the flap (Fig. 30, e). Alternative Method.—The fixing of the front bars can be avoided if the front of each drawer (except the lowest) be made to overhang the bottom by the depth of the runner. This method, of course, makes it impossible to stand a drawer level on a level surface.
