How to detect a 2-way mirror...

Have you seen recent advertisement of M/S SAINT GOBAIN GLASSES shown in TELEVISION'S - Then you must have known about 2 Way mirror)

How to determine if a mirror is 2 way or not (Not a Joke!)?
Not to scare you, but to make sure that you aware. Many of the Hotels and Textile showrooms cheat the customers this way & watch privately.

HOW TO DETECT A 2-WAY MIRROR?
When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc.,
How many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror i.e., they can
see you, but you can't see them. There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms or bathroom or bedrooms.
It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of
mirror we are looking at?

CONDUCT THIS SIMPLE TEST:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail,
then it is a GENUINE mirror.

However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR! (There is someone seeing you from the
other side). So remember, every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything. It is simple to do.

This is a really good thing to do. The reason there is a gap on a real mirror, is because the silver is on the back of the mirror UNDER the glass.
Whereas with a two-way mirror, the silver is on the surface. Keep it in mind! Make sure and check every time you enter in hotel rooms. May be someone is making a film on you.

A nasal spray to combat shyness

There is good news for those who feel uncomfortable in socialising, as scientists have developed a new nasal spray which they claim can help overcome shyness. 

A team of international scientists found that oxytocin, the brain hormone known for increasing empathy and bonding, improves the social skills of the shy when used as a nasal spray.

But the `love hormone` has little effect on those who are naturally confident, they said, stressing that their findings could have implications for those with severe social deficiencies, often apparent in conditions like autism.

Oxytocin is widely believed to make all people more empathetic and understanding of others.It selectively improves social cognition in people who are less socially proficient, but had little impact on more socially proficient individuals.

For their study, the researchers conducted a test of 27 healthy adult men, giving them the hormone or a placebo via a nasal spray and then asking them to perform an "empathic accuracy task" -- which measures their powers of reading the thoughts and feelings of others.This involved watching others discussing emotional moments in their lives, then rating how they felt those people were feeling.
The scientists also measured the participants` social competency, using a test known as AQ which is usually used in autistic patients.
They found that oxytocin did improve powers of empathy -- but only among those who were less socially proficient in the first place.

The more socially comfortable participants performed well on the empathetic task regardless of whether they were on oxytocin or placebo.But less socially proficient participants performed significantly better on oxytocin, with their empathetic powers performance identical to that of the more outgoing participants.
