Why were the windows nailed shut during the Constitutional Convention?

The windows were nailed shut during this time because the men at the convention wanted their meeting to be private. There were also guards at every door to make sure the only people allowed to get in were the men that were supposed to be there.

Whose flag is never lowered in America?
All official US flags are lowered at dusk, or are never raised to full staff (Arlington National Cemetery, USS Arizona).This question is sometimes a riddle with the answers of "the Alamo" where the flag is nailed up, or on the Moon, where the US flag will fly from its special staff until it falls apart.
How did one village bring disaster on itself?
'''How did one village bring disaster on itself?On a morning in early spring, 1873, the people of Oberfest left their houses and took refuge in the town hall. No one knows why precisely. A number of rumors had raced through the town during recent weeks, were passed on and converted to news; predictions became certainties. On this particular morning, fear turned into terror, and people rushed through the narrow streets, carrying their most precious possessions, pulling their children and dashing into the great hall. The doors were nailed shut, and men took their turns watching out the window. Two days passed. When no disaster came, the fear grew worse, because the people began to suspect that the danger was already in the hall, locked inside. No one spoke to anybody else; people watched each other, looking for signs. It was the children who rang the great bell in the first bell tower-a small band of bored children found the bell rope and swung on it-set the bell clanging. This was the traditional signal of alarm, and in a moment the elders were dashing in panic to all the other bell towers and ringing the bells. For nearly an hour, the valley reverberated with the wild clangor-and then, a thousand feet above, the snow began to crack, and the avalanche began; a massive cataract of ice and snow thundered down and buried the town, silencing the bells. There is no trace of Oberfest today, not even a spire, because the snow is so deep; and, in the shadow of the mountains, it is very cold.'''
