The article Happy Chanting by PP Wangchuk, made me wonder whether chanting is so powerful that it can purify one's soul and make one Buddha-like or even a simple, good human being. Can a person think that mere chanting can bring him salvation or bring him closer to God, irrespective of how he acts? I think it can't.
It is the use of one's intellect that helps one realise God, who is all-powerful: nothing can be hidden from Him. This realisation makes us wonder why God has created us, what is His plan for us and how does He want us to behave in life. Surely, we have to answer to the Almighty for all our actions.
It is our deeds and the intention behind our deeds that have the power to purify our souls. Only this can bring us closer to God and closer to salvation, or whatever one chooses to call it.
How can the mere chanting of six syllables purify six deadly human flaws – ignorance, pride, jealousy, desire, greed and anger? To rid oneself of these sins, one surely needs to have belief in God and in His being all-powerful. Then one has invariably to act in accordance with God's will, and this is not an easy but a very difficult process. Changing negativity into positivity can never happen with mere chanting.
The only power chanting has is that it stops the thinking process and calms one for a while, but it does not remove the problem, which can be solved only by using the mind and being determined to act righteously.
Unfortunately, religion has been reduced to a mere ritual and chanting; and, worse, people generally associate God only with these activities --- a view which just does not and cannot appeal to an intelligent, unprejudiced and unconditioned mind.
On the contrary, it makes them reject the idea of God itself. Sadly, believers in chanting are unable to realise the most important truth: God is above all this.
To know God, one has to use one's intelligence and not act irrationally. To know God, think!

One of my goals for the year is to consciously participate in Project 333. The main purpose of Project 333 is to have a complete wardrobe with only 33 items in it and wear that wardrobe for a period of three months. I'm hoping that once I get started, I'll be able to have no more than 33 items in my wardrobe at any given moment. You can learn more about Project 333 here.
This last month of Project 333 has by far been the more difficult of the three-month project. Summer finally arrived in Vancouver in August, and I realized while my wardrobe didn't change, my satisfaction level with it did. I got annoyed that most of my clothing fell into the category of "appropriate for the weather in Vancouver the other 11 months out of the year." Being a minimalist, I made do with what I already had on hand. I wore mostly yoga pants with my previously loved, then shrunken, then stretched out tank tops. The truth about cheap clothing appears to be that if it shrinks, wait five minutes – it just might find its way back to it's original shape. Or not.
My bathing suit that I paid $75 for last summer and had high hopes that it would last longer than two seasons has bitten the proverbial bullet. I hate it when you spring for more expensive pieces and they don't last. I did manage to find a bathing suit bottom for $5, and plan on wearing one of my workout tanks with it when I go swimming over the course of the next year. I can't stand bathing suit shopping in the best of times, and this will ensure I won't have to do any for the next year, but will also ensure I stay suitably covered while at the beach or the pool.
For the beginning of another round of Project 333 starting in September, I'll be adding a couple of items to my wardrobe and subtracting others. While I'll be keeping my leggings and skirts, my summer dresses will be going on hiatus until I take a trip to Mexico this winter. I'll also be putting away my sandals and ballet flats, and bringing out one pair of boots for colder weather (and maybe my rain boots for when the weather really gets ugly). I did buy some workout tanks recently (which I will be including in my 33-item total) that are very functional and that will work underneath a lot of my wrap-style tops. I have plenty of clothing to last me the next three months, and when the weather cools down, I'll be looking into my cold weather accessories to see me through. I've also got a new-to-me winter jacket that I bought on sale at my neighbourhood thrift shop in May (see?!?!? I told you we have one very long cold season here!), and I am looking forward to keeping warm in it this winter.
Are you participating in your own Project 333? If not, will you join me for this round?

Kenneth Harris limped into the Old Bailey yesterday to see his attackers jailed for up to five years for what Judge Brian Smedley described as 'an appalling incident of unprovoked violence'.
He told them: 'The victim of your attack was entirely innocent, as was his girlfriend, and there can be no doubt the only reason for this attack was that he happened to be black and she happened to be white.'
Edward Duggan, 25, was jailed for three years and Laurie Ridley, 22, who drove the car, was jailed for five years. The court heard that Ridley's bedroom was decorated with racist posters and an Iron Cross on a swastika chain. The third attacker, Vincent Ribbans, 26, was jailed for three years. Ribbans, unemployed, and Ridley, a roofer, both of Goresbrook Road, Dagenham, east London, and Duggan, 25, unemployed, of Maxey Road, Dagenham, denied attempted murder, but their guilty pleas to causing grievous bodily harm with intent were accepted by the prosecution.
The court heard that the three drunken men drove into an east London service station last October as Mr Harris and his girlfriend, Lynn Woodard, called in to buy groceries.
They saw Miss Woodard getting out of the car and started calling her 'a slag and a slut'. Jonathan Laidlaw, for the prosecution, said she ignored this but was pelted with chips and half-eaten bits of burger and called 'a nigger lover and wog's meat' by the three men, who had driven their van alongside the car.
Ridley came up to the car and kicked the panels. When Mr Harris asked Ridley what the problem was, he was told it was because he was black. Ridley challenged him to a fight and threatened him with a screwdriver. Ribbans then grabbed him from behind and held his arms while the other two stamped, kicked and punched him. Video cameras picked up Duggan pulling a screwdriver from his cardigan.
Ridley jumped into his victim's car and to chants from his friends of 'run him over, run him over', reversed the car over Mr Harris.
Mr Harris, who had a fractured skull and multiple cuts and lacerations consistent with injuries caused by screwdrivers, still needs painkillers, cannot sleep properly and suffers hallucinations. He is unable to walk properly because his left leg collapses under him after short distances.
Lawyers for the three told the judge that their clients were not racist. The offences had happened on the spur of the moment after they had taken drink and drugs. They had very little memory of what happened.
After the hearing, Mr Harris told reporters that the three men 'got what they deserved'.
Miss Woodard said she still had nightmares about what happened. She had never before in her 18-month relationship with Mr Harris suffered any racial abuse. 'What happened that night was terrifying.'
Detective Inspector Tony Croft, of Ilford CID, said it was the worst case of racial violence he had dealt with.

Posted in Book Printing, Prepress | Comments »
A print brokering client of mine is getting closer to handing off files to the book printer. She has been producing a 550-page cookbook in InDesign, including many hundreds of photos prepared in Photoshop. What makes this a challenge is that she is relatively new to Photoshop.
At the same time, the book printer I'm most comfortable handing her work off to (who is also the low bid) would prefer PDF files rather than native InDesign files. To complicate matters, PDF creation still requires premium quality native InDesign files as a base from which to produce press-ready PDFs, and there are many, many options for creating PDFs. Moreover, these options differ from printer to printer depending on many things, such as their prepress workflow software.
The gist of what I just said above is that it's easy to hand off a problem file if you don't do things right.
What Is a PDF File?
PDF stands for portable document format. This format allows you to distill an InDesign file (and all the fonts and images you have used to create the file) into a format easily printable on any computer. If you're producing low-resolution output on a desktop printer, it's relatively seamless. But if you're printing high-resolution images in cyan/magenta/yellow/black on an offset press, you need a more comprehensive approach.
That said, if you can create a successfully preflighted InDesign file that correctly addresses issues of color space, resolution, image usage, font usage, and such, and then distill this into a successfully preflighted PDF, your book printer's likelihood of producing both a proof and a final print job that meet your expectations is very high. Or, at the very least, you will see the problems early when you review the proof. And you can be confident that a successfully output proof will ensure a successfully printed job.
In addition, since you can embed the fonts in a PDF, you do not need to hand off your fonts to your printer. Also, your printer is less likely to encounter font substitution problems that would adjust (or totally move around) the text on your pages.
However, to be safe, it's always good to send your printer a hard-copy proof to which he can "reconcile" the PDF and final job (i.e., something physical to match).
Keep in mind that a PDF will not improve anything in your initial InDesign file. If the photos are not of sufficient resolution, the PDF will not sharpen them. It won't brighten photos or fix anything else. It will only allow for a smoother transition of your art files from your computer to your book printer's computer.
Now the bad news is also the good news. You can only do limited editing to a PDF file. This means that when you hand off PDF files to your printer, if you find problems on the proof, you will have to correct the files in InDesign, distill them again into revised PDFs, and then hand these off to your printer for revised proofs. The good news is that there is very little that can change in the files you hand off to your printer (compared to native files), so you have almost complete assurance that your proofs will look exactly like your submitted files. (This is not the case when you hand off native files.)
Back to My Client
To get back to my client, all of this is relatively new to her. And there are a lot of options (multiple screens' worth in InDesign) that need to be addressed in preparing PDFs correctly.
In addition, "correctly" means different things to different printers, since printers often have different prepress workflow software packages (such as Rampage or Prinergy).
In my client's case, the printer has agreed to accept both PDFs and native files. If there are problems in the PDFs my client supplies, the printer will potentially be able to address them using her native InDesign files (i.e., the original, and editable, art files).
Fortunately, my client can distill PDFs directly from InDesign. Or she could use Acrobat Professional to distill the InDesign files into PDFs (but not the less-complete, but free, Acrobat Reader).
To make things easier, I plan to create for my client (with the book printer's help) a cheat sheet showing which options to check or uncheck on the screens InDesign presents when you create PDFs. She can then put together a short test document (four or five pages addressing text issues, color issues, and image resolution issues). If the files pass preflight, she can then go ahead and distill the 550-page print book.
Variables/Issues to Consider
Here's a short list of issues my client will need to consider (and that you may need to address when distilling files from your own InDesign projects). The best way to ensure success is to request the printer's "guidelines" document for creating PDFs for offset print output. This document will make your life much easier (it will tell you what options to select for your printer's specific workflow software), and it will make your printer's life much easier (because your files will work smoothly).
Discuss these issues with your printer. This is only one set of specs I found online. Other printers will have different needs.
Extra Screens to Address
In InDesign, for instance, there are five computer screens of information to address when creating PDF files. In most cases these will involve only a few checkmarks (on-screen) based on your printer's needs. They are called: "General," "Compression," "Marks & Bleeds," "Output," and "Advanced." It is also wise to check "The Appearance of Black" in the Preferences window.
Final Thoughts
You can do this successfully (and so can my print brokering client). All is takes is study, practice, and communication with your book printer (or commercial printer, for that matter). After you do it once, you'll know exactly what questions to ask your printer, so you can set up your files in the best way for his particular computer prepress system.
Posted in Book Printing, Photos, Prepress | Comments »
In spite of the promotional literature implying the ease with which one can seamlessly use Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator, there really is a lot to learn. And when you're using these programs together to prepare large book printing jobs for either offset printing or digital printing, the learning curve is even steeper.
That said, I have three book printing jobs I'm brokering at the moment. They are all close to 8.5" x 11" in format, and their press runs range from 500 copies to 11,000 copies (perfect bound and case bound).
In this particular case, the physical properties of the print books are less important than the preparation of the art files, or, more specifically, the preparation of the images to be placed in the InDesign files.
My "DIY" (Do-It-Yourself) Client
One of my clients has written and designed her book and then has prepared all pages in InDesign. She may also have taken the photographs. But she is somewhat new to Photoshop. To her the images are more important than the words. This is a cookbook, and she wants the images to take the lead.
From a commercial printing standpoint, because of this orientation toward the images, I have suggested that my client select a gloss coated printing stock. But for the custom printing paper to showcase the nuances of the images, the photographs must be correctly prepared prior to being placed in the InDesign file.
One of the things I learned, purely by accident during a discussion with my client, was that she had kept the photos in RGB JPEG format as they had been initially shot. Since she knew she wanted the text of the book (both words and images) to be printed in black ink only, she had merely desaturated the photos in Photoshop (i.e., removed their color but kept them in RGB format).
This had made perfect sense to her (and was a logical approach), but it was not what the offset printer would need in order to produce her book. So I gave my client the following suggestions. I think these would benefit a number of new designers (and designers who had come of age with traditional paste-up and are only now making the shift to computerized design and prepress):

What You Can Learn From This Case Study
You can apply most of the suggestions I gave my client to your own work.
Posted in Book Binding | Comments »
For our rest and relaxation, my fiancee and I spend long hours in thrift stores. She likes the clothes; I like the books. One benefit for my work as a commercial printing broker is that I see how print books age. I see the yellowed paper in the books from the '70s and '80s and the pristine paper and binding work in books close to 100 years old (i.e., due to their superior materials).
I also see how various bindings hold up: which books are still in good condition twenty years after their publishing date and which books are losing pages.
Three Current Print Brokering Jobs
Three of my current print brokering clients are producing books at the moment. One is entirely case bound (all copies). One is a short-run job: 500 copies of a 488-page paperback book. The final product is a split binding of a 550-page book (2,000 to 10,000 copies paper bound and 1,000 copies case bound). For the most part, all are close to 8.5" x 11" in format. What they all have in common is that their page counts are high. They are all long books.
How does this affect the binding?
Two ways to approach the binding of either a perfect-bound (paperback) or case-bound (hard-cover) book are notch binding (or a similar option that is called burst perfect binding) and Smyth Sewing. With notch and burst binding, you first gather and stack the press signatures (lets say thirty-two 16-page press signatures for a 512-page print book, or sixteen 32-page signatures for the same page count).
Then, if you're perfect-binding the book you grind off the bind edge, add hot-melt glue to the ground-off spine, and wrap a paper cover around the text block. For a burst-bound job you puncture the signature folds, and for a notch-bound job, you cut notches in the bind edge, apply the glue, and add the paper cover.
In these cases (which are best used for paper-bound books but can also be used for hard-bound books), grinding, piercing, or notching the bind edge before applying the glue just gives the glue more surface area of the paper to grab onto. More surface area allows for better glue adhesion and less likelihood that the pages will fall out.
Unfortunately, all of these print books are very long, as noted before, so the text blocks are heavy, and neither burst binding nor notch binding is as durable as one of the more traditional methods for case binding books: that is, Smyth Sewing.
Enter Smyth Sewing
If you open a case-bound children's book, you will see a little thread running down the gutter of the book, in and out. You will also see the thread running down the center of a large-format art book at a museum, or a library book, or any other book that costs a lot and is intended to last for decades. Smyth Sewing is a durable way to make sure the pages don't fall out.
The way Smyth Sewing works is that the stitches run the length of the fold (the folded side of the press signature), and then additional stitches sew together the separate signatures that comprise the entire book. Then the text block bind edge is covered with glue, attached to a liner (called a "crash") and either set into the case side (i.e., suspended from binder's boards wrapped with binding cloth and paper) for case binding or wrapped with a paper cover (for perfect binding).
What makes this stronger than notch binding or burst binding is that in addition to the glue seeping into the ground-off or notched bind edge of the gathered press signatures, you have the added holding power of the binding thread.
When the books have been opened and closed hundreds or multiple hundreds of times and they wind up in the thrift stores my fiancee and I frequent, the print books may be banged up a bit, but the pages are still attached firmly into the binding.
Things to Remember
Here are some things to keep in mind when you consider whether to pay extra for Smyth Sewing:
Posted in Book Printing | Comments Off
As with anything else in life, a discount often comes with a cost. Maybe not in cash, but in time, effort, and diligent study.
I'm brokering three jobs for three clients at the moment. All three jobs are books (two case-bound; one perfect-bound). In light of their due dates, I am entertaining the possibility of printing one or more of the jobs abroad, in the Far East. This would be my first time. One of my clients has been printing in China for a number of years, successfully. She gets unbeatable prices.
However, she has voiced a number of considerations, which I want to share with you. While I am not averse to printing any of these three jobs overseas, I think it is prudent to take a long look at these issues and learn as much as I can before venturing into new waters.
In no particular order, here are the areas to consider, as presented by my client. I'm sure there are many other considerations to address. This is just a starting point:
Printing Schedule
To put this in perspective, one of the US printers I'm considering can ship the job (a case-bound book) 15 to 20 days after proof approval. The books will then take about two days to deliver by truck.
In contrast, my client's current Chinese vendor can produce the print book within two weeks (10 days) including the case binding work; however, the completed books will then need to travel from Asia to the East Coast of the US.
Another vendor who bid on my client's print book is in Korea. In his emails to me, this book printer estimates a 25-day ship time from Korea to New York. In addition, this printer says it will take 5 to 7 days for US Customs clearance and ground delivery to my client. All of this is in addition to the print book production schedule in Korea.
So while the Chinese, Korean, and US production end of the schedule is an important aspect of case-bound book manufacturing, delivery of the finished books from the Far East to the US East Coast makes the overall turn-around time (manufacturing plus delivery) much longer than for most US vendors.
Holiday Schedule
My client prints a case-bound book early each year. The Chinese New Year holiday schedule therefore has an impact on when she must submit art files for her book in order to allow sufficient time for both production and delivery. A Korean printer might not have the same Chinese New Year schedule, but he may have other scheduling issues that will affect a job's submission and delivery date.
In my client's case, her case-bound book includes a lot of four-color ads. Therefore, presumably the earlier she must upload art files to her current Chinese book printer, the less chance she will have to accommodate those advertisers who might only be able to meet a later ad deadline. In some cases this could be the difference between having, or losing, an advertising client.
Issues Relating to the Importation of Goods
Most or all of these issues involve time, knowledge/attentiveness, or money. My client mentioned Customs (on both ends, Korea or China plus the US), including sea clearance and bond expense/paperwork.
She also mentioned the "Vasis cost," which she described as having the shipped cartons of books x-rayed in US Customs. This might involve additional fees depending on whether the books are just x-rayed or both x-rayed and physically inspected. With books, many boxes may need to be opened, so there may be additional fees for restacking and repalletizing them. This would be in addition to the basic Vasis fees. This doesn't happen on each import, but it is a consideration, particularly if a book printing job delivers "LCL" (in less than one shipping container). More than anything, this means you need to be both knowledgeable and on top of the delivery process.
My client also said she has been advised to not have the foreign business in control of getting the product on the ship. She says you should use a US broker with an office in the departure port.
In addition, my client notes that there should be someone on this end to handle Customs clearance and any associated items that might arise, such as port fees, dock fees, and bonds. Also, there is always the possibility of a dock strike. My client notes that in a case like this you can sometimes divert the load to another port, but you really need to be watching the process closely (from your end, in this country) to ensure successful delivery.
A Response from My Client
Prior to completing this blog article, I contacted my client for her input. She noted that in spite of the challenges, she has successfully printed overseas for six years. In that time she has not had any problems dealing directly with the printer.
She had also mentioned challenges with color proofs with one book. She notes that in this case she received immediate and continuing help from her Chinese printer (and even from one of the owners of the printing plant) until all issues had been resolved and there was a plan in place to successfully proceed with printing the book. She was especially pleased with the smooth collaboration.
To quote from my client, Sandy Phillips, an Ocean City, MD, publisher, "While there are a number of moving pieces regarding printing overseas and the potential for things to go wrong, with the number of hands your job passes through, a carefully executed plan can yield excellent results."
The Take-Away
By no means would I encourage you to not print your book in Asia. My personal experience of producing catalogs in Canada was much simpler. At the time the exchange rate was good, and the Canadian printer made the whole process easy. I would be comfortable printing in Canada again.
But Asia is farther away, and there are more areas in which you must become fluent. You need to understand the intricacies of importation (all elements of the process plus the costs) or have a trusted agent to handle these for you.
You need to understand the overall price and the overall schedule, not just the manufacturing price the printer quotes and the production schedule prior to the ship date.
And you need to closely monitor the entire process.
All of this is a completely separate arena of commercial printing that goes far beyond presses and inksets. But it doesn't really matter how great the custom printing job is if you can't get the print books to your client in good condition.
In this particular case, the more you know about international trade and the import/export business, the better able you will be to ensure your success.
Posted in Label Printing | Comments Off
I just read an article on PackagingDigest.com about textured inks used for package printing. I thought about the times I had picked up books at thrift stores and had been initially attracted not to their content but to the feel of the cover (or more specifically the texture of the coating). I'm especially fond of artfully printed and bound, dull film laminated books. I like the matte feel.
So when I read the article on PackagingDigest.com entitled "Tactile Labels Use Textured Inks to Put Consumers in Direct Touch with Packaging" (by Rick Lingle in Labels, 10/03/16), I was pleased to see that other people also considered the texture of packaging to be a powerful selling point.
Adding Texture Digitally
According to Lingle's article, "Consumers don't just use their eyes when making purchasing decisions—they use the sense of touch as well. Research has shown that a brand's impact increases by 30% when more than one sense is engaged in the packaging design."
I found this both enlightening and also exciting, since I know that custom labels/packaging is one of the fastest growing sectors of the commercial printing industry.
"Tactile Labels Use Textured Inks to Put Consumers in Direct Touch with Packaging" then goes on to describe a roll-to-roll digital label press manufactured by Domino called the N610i digital UV inkjet label press. Lingle notes that "Textures by Domino," a unique inkjet capability of the Domino N610i digital UV inkjet label press, allows label printers to produce visually striking, digitally textured labels that enhance shelf presence and make brand owners' products stand out from the crowd."
Lingle then goes on to suggest that such a press is particularly well suited to labels for wine and beer, as well as cosmetics and other beauty items because textured labels provide "high visual and 'feel appeal' that also help to maximize customer engagement."
This is powerful stuff. The most relevant part is the assertion (and supporting research) that targeting multiple senses with marketing materials (including custom labels and other packaging) will increase sales.
Lingle's article notes that "The textured-printed labels not only capture consumer attention, but more importantly encourage them to take the product off the shelf." Why? Because it feels good in the buyer's hands.
Moreover, this process is economical. Because the Domino press is printing textured inks onto labels, printers don't need to stock expensive, textured press sheets.
For instance, as Lingle says, you could create a grainy-feeling label for a beer bottle that suggests the earthy qualities of the product, or you could simulate expensive textured papers digitally when producing high-end wine labels, thus appealing to a premium market.
Some Benefits of the Process
Here are my thoughts on some of the benefits provided by the "Textures by Domino" process on the Domino N610i digital UV inkjet label press:
I was very pleased to come upon this article recently: "Kids actually like reading paper books more than screens." It is from The News and Observer, 3/10/17, and it was written by Teresa Welsh.
Granted, I'm a commercial printing broker, so I have a vested financial interest in liking this sort of thing, but what made it stand out for me was that it challenged my beliefs. In my more cynical moments, I had always thought print would die out once today's kids grew up. I figured they preferred digital books to print books. Maybe that's not so true.
Here's the gist of the article. (It is very short, but it includes a number of links to equally compelling information.)
Background Articles Referenced in The News and Observer Piece
Teresa Welsh's article in The News and Observer links to some interesting information. First of all, she bases the article on a study done in Australia, and a link in Welsh's article takes you to an abstract of this research. (Computers & Education, Volume 109, June 2017, Pages 187–196, "The influence of access to eReaders, computers and mobile phones on children's book reading frequency.")
This is the study Welsh's article references: "2016 Western Australian Study in Children's Book Reading." The abstract noted above describes the behavior of kids with access to digital reading devices and their choice of print books for their recreational reading (i.e., when it was their choice rather than their teacher's or parents' choice as to what they read and how). This study correlates with the findings in Welsh's article, but it also notes the external pressure on children to use digital reading devices (i.e., the high utilization of electronic reading devices and similar technology in schools, plus parents' desire to ensure their kids' digital literacy).
The study also found that increased access to mobile phones (another reading device) correlated with less reading by the children.
A second link in Welsh's article takes you to "Children prefer to read books on paper rather than screens," from https://theconversation.com, 3/9/17, by Margaret Kristin Merga and Saiyidi Mat Roni.
This article notes: "… that while some students enjoyed reading books on devices, the majority of students with access to these technologies did not use them regularly for this purpose. Importantly, the most avid book readers did not frequently read books on screens."
Ironically, the assumption I had made about young people being highly digitally literate and preferring this medium can be traced back to a 2001 article by Marc Prensky in which he used the term "digital natives," suggesting that young people are not only fluent in digital technology but that they also prefer it for reading. According to Merga and Roni's article ("Children prefer to read books on paper rather than screens"), this is not necessarily backed up by research. However, it has exerted influence on schools, which in many cases have leaned toward digital reading devices and away from print books in their buying decisions.
According to Merga and Roni's article, "…by doing this, libraries are actually limiting young people's access to their preferred reading mode, which in turn could have a detrimental impact on how often they choose to read."
Merga and Roni's article then goes on to note that children like print books because they are easier to focus on without the distractions digital reading devices offer. The article then encourages parents and teachers to foster a love of reading in children by doing the following:
What You Can Learn from These Articles
This is what I gleaned from all these articles:
Posted in Box Printing | Comments Off
My fiancee and I stopped at a local upscale outlet store this week, a number of times, to collect designer shoe boxes for our autistic students. In art therapy we have been creating small shadow boxes (also known as dioramas), or miniature rooms decorated for Halloween. We've had our autistic members combine miniature skeletons (some wrapped as mummies), gauze, paint, Halloween stickers, and any other sculptural elements we could find.
All of that aside, my fiancee kept about four of the shoe boxes for herself—just because she liked them. And as a commercial printing broker and student of custom printing, I found her behavior intriguing. I surmised that:
Sample Box #1
I just went into the art studio in our home and chose four sample boxes that had not yet been used by our students (the art project was so well received that we've offered it in four of our classes over the last few weeks).
Under a good light and with access to a printer's loupe, I see that the first box has been printed on a thick, glossy cover stock prior to being folded and glued into a three-dimensional shoe box. The exterior walls of the box are covered with purple, red, and dark blue squares and other geometric forms. In contrast, the inside has been printed solid orange. It provides simplicity and stark contrast to the exterior.
If you look closely, you can see that the sides of the box are composed of double walls made from the flat, cover-stock press sheet. The box converter assembled the folded press sheets and hot melt glued sections to produce four vertical sides and a bottom. In the same way, the converter created a smaller box cover.
What We Can Learn from This Sample
I've said it in earlier blogs, but closely observing how product packaging goes together, how it is "converted" from a flat press sheet into a three-dimensional product (with its own value) is fascinating, and it casts light on a skilled and often overlooked aspect of "finishing," the activities that occur after the ink has been laid down on the flat press sheet.
In terms of design, this product packaging shows that bright colors and active geometric imagery will appeal to a certain clientele when selling a certain product. The packaging is not sedate. Then again, it shouldn't be sedate if the shoes in the box are flashy and upscale.
Sample Box #2
The first thing I notice about the second shoe box is that it is composed of thick gloss text paper laminated to fluted cardboard.
In contrast, the first box is composed of just two layers of thick cover stock with a dull coating (perhaps a dull UV coating). The walls of the second box are much thicker than those of the first box, but the two boxes weigh just about the same. This shows one benefit of corrugated board for product packaging: It is light but durable.
However, there is a marked vertical pattern of the fluted ribs visible on all sides of the box (even through the litho printing paper that has been laminated to the fluting). The ribbing is visible through the solid yellow exterior of the box and the yellow, green, and black interior ink.
Like the first box, you can see that the second box started as a flat sheet, was die cut, and then was folded up into a three-dimensional physical product, held together with glue or with folded tabs inserted into slots.
Like the first box, the second has a simple design. All images are line art, but they didn't have to be. Since the press sheets that had been converted into both boxes were either laminated to fluted board (in the case of the second box) or converted into a box without fluted board (as in the first box), offset lithography could have been used for either box.
Why? Because no fluted board would have been in direct contact with the heavy pressure of the offset press rollers.
In contrast, printing directly on fluted board must be done with flexography. This process avoids the heavy pressure of the offset press rollers. However, it also requires simpler custom printing designs.
In terms of design, this particular box shows that kinetic artwork combined with intense primary colors (the yellow of the box exterior) will capture the interest of presumably young, fashion-conscious clientele.
Sample Boxes #3 and #4
These are really two variants on the same theme: minimalist boxes produced on brown fluted board. They are simple, but they are actually quite elegant, and they present less of an "in-your-face" style and more of an "earth-friendly" vibe.
Both boxes (in slightly different ways) have been die cut from single printed sheets of fluted cardboard. Then, using folds, tabs, slots, and hot-melt glue, both have been converted into product packaging.
The first has been printed with both white ink and black ink. You can see with a loupe that the ink film is thin (i.e., not custom screen printing but flexography, the other option for adorning fluted cardboard without squashing the ribs of paper). But this doesn't make the box look any less attractive, just more functional (i.e., "functional chic"). The short side panel of the box is actually a halftone (lightly inked) of a mountain climber (or camper) holding up a sign with the brand name in large letters. For climbing shoes, this is a much more appropriate approach than the heavy ink coverage and glossy look of the first box, produced on cover weight press stock. Overall, the box design underscores the functional nature of the shoes it contains.
Sample #4, the second box produced on unbleached corrugated board, works in exactly the same way. It has even less adornment than Sample #3: just the logo printed on the four vertical exterior walls of the box (in black and a light, transparent yellow over the uncoated, fluted cardboard), plus the impression in black ink—inside the box—of two shoe soles. It looks like the designer had dipped the shoes in black ink and then pressed them against the interior floor of the box.
What We Can Learn from These Two Samples
Humor sells. The interior of the box, which is most of the custom printing, looks like ink has been tracked in on the wearer's shoes—or mud has been tracked into the house, if you will.
Simplicity also sells in this age of environmentally friendly, sustainable packaging. For practical shoes, this approach works.
Appropriate treatment (in terms of design, as well as the physical substrate used to build the box) makes the biggest difference. Selling shoes for an evening dance in unbleached corrugated board would miss the opportunity for the box to reflect the tone of its contents. Conversely, putting athletic shoes in a frilly box would dilute the brand, confuse the buyer, and miss the opportunity to align the product packaging with the product it contains.
I believe in synchronicity, or "meaningful coincidences," as described by psychologist Carl Jung. Sometimes important things just seem to happen simultaneously, and if I'm aware at the time, I can learn from them.
Within this past few weeks I have had three experiences that have pointed me in the direction of actually producing a client's print book in the Far East, which for me would be a first. (I've always felt more secure contracting work to local commercial printing vendors.)
The Next Steps
I actually received a number of bids from Asia: one from Korea, the rest from China. One of the things that opened my mind to doing business overseas was the immediate follow-up on a bid from the Korean printer.
I'm a night owl, so curiously enough I found myself emailing the printer and receiving immediate answers at 2:00 a.m. (After all, even though it was 2:00 a.m. here, in Korea it was obviously the middle of the business day.) I liked the printer's (or in this case the printer's sales rep's) attentiveness to my needs and questions.
With an especially attractive bid for my client's project, an associate's good words about a Chinese printer she was currently working with, and the customer service of the Korean printer I was becoming acquainted with, I felt comfortable moving forward.
So I asked for printed samples, an equipment list, and references from the Korean printer (all standard practices, just the same as if I were becoming acquainted with a local print shop). I was surprised to receive the sample box two days later, along with real-time messaging of exactly when to expect the delivery.
Even without opening the box, I had learned two things:
The Samples
When I opened the box, I saw about ten of the nicest sample print books I had ever seen. The case-bound books were all flawlessly bound. The heavy ink coverage on the pages of the three graphic novels he had sent was beautiful. All of the perfect-bound books looked great (both the printing and binding work). I was very pleased. He even sent Korean copies of Allure and Vogue.
This is what I learned from the samples:
Anyone can give a stellar reference, just as anyone can send someone else's samples. Granted, most people have integrity, but we're talking about my advising my clients to spend serious money for print book production.
Since I have known the CEO of the Printing Industry Exchange for 25 years, I asked him outright about this book printer. He told me the printer had been a PIE member since 2001 with no complaints. (I guess it's like checking with the Better Business Bureau and finding an "A" rating.) I felt completely secure.
What's Next?
While I'm not always comfortable with change, I will admit that I have sent work to Canada—successfully. So I'm at least keeping an open mind here. These are the issues I will need to address before I encourage my client to buy her print book from a vendor in the Far East:
What You Can Learn from This Case Study
Here are some thoughts:
As with anything else in life, at some point you have to take a leap of faith. I'm not quite ready yet—but I'm getting very close.
Posted in 3D Printing | 2 Comments »
I hadn't done much research into 3D custom printing recently, so I thought I'd check out the current state of the technology. I was pleased to find that it is very much alive and thriving. I found three articles I'd like to share with you.
First of All, What Is 3D Printing?
An inkjet printer's printheads move from side to side as the paper feeds through the machine producing a two dimensional copy of whatever is in your computer file. In much the same way a 3D printer has printheads that move not only from side to side but also up and down. Such printers use plastic resins (instead of ink) to build up layer upon layer of material to create three-dimensional products.
This approach, also known as additive manufacturing, is a step beyond traditional manufacturing, which involves either grinding down some material into a usable item (or part of an item) or injection molding an item, which involves making a hollow form into which plastic, molten metal, or some other substance is injected. When the mold form is removed, you have your item (or component part of an item).
Injection molding requires making molds, which is slow and expensive. In contrast, if you have a 3D printer and a computer file, you can easily and cheaply make one item (or parts for an item that you would then assemble).
The Articles on 3D Printing
I would like to preface this by saying that many of the articles I had been reading during my prior study of 3D custom printing had involved using additive manufacturing to print hamburger-like meat (which I thought was interesting, albeit very expensive) and handguns (which concerned me). However, I had also been pleased to read about attempts to 3D print replacement body parts (out of biological matter).
Interestingly enough, over the past few years I have also noticed computer vendors such as Micro Center selling these 3D printers for a reasonable price.
A Prosthesis for a Tortoise
The first article I read was entitled "Injured Tortoise Gets a Second Chance at Life Through 3D Printing." It was written by Luke Dormehl and uploaded to www.DigitalTrends.com on 8/22/16. The article references a veterinarian, Nicola Di Girolamo, who treated a tortoise that had lost a leg to a rodent attack (one leg had been so badly damaged by the rodent that it had required amputation).
The vet contracted with Roma Stampa, a 3D custom printing vendor, to produce a prosthesis for a tortoise. It was essentially a two-wheeled cart that could be attached to the tortoise's shell using two neodymium magnets. What makes this different from other two-wheeled carts for animals is that it was produced precisely to the dimensions needed by the tortoise. In addition, because of the magnet attachments, the cart could be removed during the long annual hibernation period (up to six months) of the tortoise so it didn't confine her.
So, you may ask, what makes this custom printing?
When you inkjet print a brochure, you are using a computer to digitally create a presentation of information and concepts. You are using printing ink and a horizontal and vertical matrix to create the reader's internal "experience" and hopefully to empower the reader to think and act.
So when Roma Stampa produced the cart for the tortoise, it used an inkjettable material more substantial than commercial printing ink, a digital computer file, a 3D printer, and a three-axis matrix (length, width, and height) to create an object that empowered the tortoise to move and walk.
Creating 750 Human Hand Prostheses
The next article, "Volunteers Assemble 750 3D Printed Prosthetic Hands," describes a 3D print run of all the component parts needed to assemble 750 human hands (22,000 pieces in all). The article was written by Beth Stackpole and published on www.rapidreadytech.com on 8/25/16.
According to Stackpole's article, "Autodesk has teamed up with the Enable Community Foundation (ECF) and Voodoo Manufacturing to conduct what they say is the world's first global hand drive for 3D printed hands." The goal of the initiative was "to serve children and underserved populations around the globe."
The reason this is noteworthy is the cost and the turn-around time. It usually costs tens of thousands of dollars and weeks or months to make traditional prosthetic hands. In contrast, each of the hands made in this initiative cost only $50.00. All parts were produced in a month's time by Voodoo Manufacturing and then assembled by 10,000 Autodesk employees around the world.
By using a 3D printing process (approximately 160 small Makerbot Replicator2 3D printers), Autodesk, ECF, and Voodoo Manufacturing have empowered 750 people around the world by giving them functioning hands. And like a digital inkjet press, this 3D printer was cost-effective and faster than traditional, non-digital options.
The Fourth Dimension of 3D Printing
If 3D printing involves length, width, and height, then 4D custom printing includes time (i.e., movement or change). In the realm of the fine arts, sculptor Alexander Calder invented "mobiles," which included the usual three dimensions but also moved (whether they hung from the ceiling or stood on the floor). This distinguished them from other sculptures.
The third article I read addressed the theme of movement within 3D printed products. It was entitled, "Forget 3D Printing – Here's 4D Printing." The article was written by Lucas Mearian and published on 8/24/16 on www.digitalartsonline.co.uk (DigitalArts from IDG).
To quote from the article, "Researchers have demonstrated the ability to 3D print objects that can then change shape, even folding and unfolding, when heated through an electrical current or with ambient air temperature."
Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California printed 3D items using "smart ink" composed of soybean oil, polymers, and carbon nanofibres. According to the article, the scientists "programed" these "into a temporary shape at an engineered temperature that was determined by the chemical composition."
If you find the article online, you can watch a video of two small boxes made from this material. When heated, one opens and one closes. (That is, the material has "memory." These "shape memory polymers" (SMPs) change, or return to an original shape depending on the temperature.
The article, "Forget 3D Printing – Here's 4D Printing," quotes Jennifer Rodriguez, a post-doctoral researcher in LLNL's Materials Engineering Division and the paper's lead author, as saying "You take the part out of the oven before it's done and set the permanent structure of the part by folding or twisting after an initial gelling of the polymer."
The LLNL scientists foresee using this 3D printing technique in aerospace and medicine. For instance, a collapsed stent can be made to open up when heated, or a child's splint can be made to change shape and lengthen as the child's body grows.
It makes sense for us to open our minds to new technologies, whether they involve ink digitally printed on paper from a computer file or polymer digitally printed in three dimensions. Like ink on paper, three-dimensional items produced digitally can empower people and transform lives.

I read an article today in Print+Promo magazine about direct to object custom printing, and then I followed up with further research online. The idea intrigues me: printing directly on an object, like a mug, or a metal water bottle, or, as the article notes, even a football helmet. Label-less printing. The idea is not completely new to me. After all, I've seen videos of mugs and bottles (essentially regular cylindrical shapes) being spun around in a jig while images are screen printed onto the products. I know you can also use flexographic technology to print directly on objects.
However, Xerox's direct to object inkjetting leaves room for endless personalization. After all, with a silkscreen or flexo press, you print the same image again and again, but with an inkjet printer, you can vary each and every image.
The Xerox Press Release and the Printer Specs
The article was entitled "Xerox Introduces New Direct to Object Inkjet Printer." It seems to be a press release from Xerox. However, if you go searching for the article online you will also find useful product literature from Xerox to amplify your knowledge. The articles make some intriguing claims:
(All quotes are from "Xerox Introduces New Direct to Object Inkjet Printer" or Xerox's website.)
So, What Does This Mean For Printing?
Granted, this is relatively new technology, but the specifications promise a lot:
Time will tell, but I do think this may be a game changer.

It's a thriller more than a horror. The acting is heavy, but that's to
be expected from the type of characters portrayed. The two main
protagonists carried the story pretty well. Although I do confess that
I found the female lead somewhat cliché. Anyone who has read my other
reviews knows that I am very picky about the "strong woman" trope that
we see in movies these days. You know the sort, some really cute girl
gets a part where plays a tough cop with a tragic history, she beats
men up like they're children at the playground, she has no interest in
relationships or other girlie things, engages in destructive behavior
like drinking, having a messy apartment, and staying out too late, she
lashes out with seemingly random violence at anyone around her.. I
never enjoy such characters. It has always bored me with men, and it
doesn't impress me any more with women.
The modern movie's propensity for pushing women into roles traditionally held by men usually leaves me shaking my head with disappointment, as it can be particularly challenging for a woman to fit into a mold that wasn't designed for her. The be fair, the lead actress in this film pulled it off much better than most women who attempt it. Kudos to her, she was convincing throughout.
The male lead pretty much did what he was expected to do: follow along until things go clearly against him, then go his own way. Really he didn't do a whole lot in this movie until the end. While the girl gets a heavy background to work with, his was sort of dubious and unclear for much of the time.
Atmospherically, the movie is dark. The idea is to delve into the depths of human depravity with the viewer in tow. Child murder (murder in general really), drugs, sex, violence, bullies at work.. It's all pulled together to stew itself into a dark adventure that aims to leave you thinking about how everyone around you might be harboring sick thoughts and desires. The filming and directing are consistent with the idea, and it serves to keep the atmosphere appropriate.
There is some gore, more or less inventively played with, and there is violence and a little bit of sex, but none of them in excess.
While the movie is consistently gripping, towards the end it makes what I personally view as a mistake: it ties the plot to a human ethical dilemma. It's almost like using a political debate as fuel for your scary movie ideas. The realism falls away a little and you are left with a mess of ideas rather than a clear single idea for the actors to act upon. At that point nothing anyone does really makes much sense. At least, that's how it seemed to me.
Good for a Saturday night movie, but unfortunately nothing special.

Faced with the persistent problem of misappropriation, which presented a real threat to the survival and development of the securities industry, the Chinese regulatory authorities were determined to put an end to such misappropriation from the source. In addition to having a separate depository, high-risk brokers are mandated to place clients' security deposits in escrow. After being put into the hands of the administrative receiver in 2004, Southern Securities became the first brokerage house subject to the escrow mode. Section 139 of the Securities Act (revised in 2005) provides that "the funds in a securities firm client's clearing account should be deposited into a separate account in the client's name with a commercial bank." The Act offers a legal basis for the escrow depository system by specifying that security deposits are the property of clients, instead of a liability of the securities firm. This helps protect investors' interests. The revised Securities Act also provides that "a securities firm shall not regard the funds and securities in a client's clearing account as its own assets. It is prohibited to misappropriate such funds and securities in any form. Such funds and securities shall not be included in the assets of a securities firm when it goes into bankruptcy or liquidation. Except for the collection of the client's debts or other circumstances as provided by law, such funds and securities shall not be seized, frozen, deducted or subject to any enforcement order." There is an additional provision that "the funds in a securities firm client's clearing account should be deposited into a separate account in the client's name with a commercial bank." This also expressly establishes the commercial bank's status as custodian.
In the escrow mode, a custodian bank opens a separate security deposit account in the investor's name, as instructed by the investor. The bank connects such an account with the investor's securities trading capital ledger and bank settlement account. Securities firms no longer provide clients with capital deposit and withdrawal services. With the money outside of the securities clearing account to be directed into the bank settlement account only, the investor can only access a security deposit via bank-securities account transfers. In this way, security deposits are placed in closed operation. The custodian bank opens a general account for the securities firm to hold all the security deposits paid by clients. The securities firm may open any number of subaccounts with any branch of the bank for business needs. That account only pays money upon an investor's withdrawal request, or for securities trading and related commissions and fees. This follows the principle that "the broker manages securities and the bank manages money." Securities firms serve clients in securities trading, shares management, and securities clearing and settlement. Custodian banks manage general account and subsidiary ledgers of security deposits. They also offer clients deposit and withdrawal services. They provide securities firms with clearing and settlement support for corporate capital settlement between securities firms and the depository and clearing company and OTC settlement participants, keeping securities firms' capital separate from clients' security deposits.[1]
The escrow depository system enables investors to check their capital balance with either the custodian bank or the security firm. The bank sends out a statement on a regular basis to the investor for the capital management account and offers inquiry services on the balance in the account, as well as the (capital) information of the capital account with the securities firm. Securities regulators can oversee the investor's security deposits by comparing business data from the securities firm and capital management account data from the custodian bank. Investors can also monitor their security deposits by comparing capital data from the bank against that from the securities firm. Such escrow arrangements help build a firewall between securities firms and clients' money, eliminating the opportunity for securities firms to misappropriate clients' security deposits.
The escrow depository system has proved to be as effective as expected. Although the Chinese stock market had an abrupt fall in 2008 (SSE composite index slumped from over 6,000 to 1,600), no securities firm filed for bankruptcy. Among other factors, the overall improvement initiative for brokers, with institutional measures for security deposits in particular, can take credit for that.[2]

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory has ordered American and state flags on state property to be lowered to half-staff through sunset on Thursday.
McCrory on Sunday ordered the flags lowered in the memory of those killed in the Orlando nightclub shootings.
Police say a gunman opened fire killing at least 50 people in the worst mass shooting in American history.
McCrory earlier Sunday called the shooting a tragedy that should never happen in America. He says those killed were "innocent victims of an inexcusable act of violence."
McCrory says he's contacted Florida Governor Rick Scott offering any assistance North Carolina can provide.

The groundbreaking, futuristic, almost impossible technological breakthrough that is Google Glass has been put to good use recently by Warped Tour attendees Wallpaper, who used the new device to shoot a full-length live video clip.
For those unaware, Google Glass is Google's foray into wearable computing, with a teeny tiny display, camera and microphone set inside a pair of glasses. Worn by the band's frontman Ricky Reed, Google Glass shows us exactly what he sees, making the official video clip for the band's new track Last Call not just intriguing, but a straight-up historic first.
There's not a lot of footage of Google Glass in action, and the sensation of being inside someone else's eyeballs is quite hypnotic. That said, we can'tt help but think how much better this would be if a band like Metallica did this, capturing what it looks like to play in front of tens of thousands rather than just tens.
The band decided to shoot the Arizona leg of the Warped Tour, and certainly got the right weather for it there. When they posted the video, Wallpaper thanked the team behind Project Glass who supplied the new toy.
For those impressed by the below video clip, you can get a hold of Wallpaper's latest album Ricky Reed Is Real right now.

Zotac plans Geforce GTX 295 with water cooling system [Update: Official pictures]
With the Geforce GTX 295, which is based on two GT200b GPUs, Nvidia reconquers the crown of the graphics card market.
The Geforce GTX 295 beats the AMD competition in many disciplines but the "older" Radeon HD 4870 X2 defends itself bravely and in some benchmarks it still outpaces the GTX 295. However, the results concerning loudness and power consumption are clear; here the Geforce GTX 295 is obviously ahead of the Radeon HD 4870 X2.
The website Fudzilla.com has learnt from reliable sources that manufacturer Zotac plans a water cooled version of Nvidia's new flagship. And just recently the first pictures of Zotac's Geforce GTX 295 Infinity Edition have surfaced on the web. Final clock frequencies are still unknown. The card will be presented on the Cebit in Hannover which opens its gates on 3rd March. Of course we will on the site and keep you up-to-date.
In case you should want to know more about the Geforce GTX 295, our article GTX 295 with Geforce 181.20 WHQL vs. HD 4870 X2 with 8.12 Hotfix might be interesting for you.
PC Games Hardware just received pictures from Zotac. See the gallery for the new material.

IPRO 497-226: Innovating & Redesigning Web & Social Media Access to the Ethics Code Collection at Illinois Tech
The Illinois Tech Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions (CSEP) is planning a comprehensive redesign, enrichment, and marketing strategy to elevate its Ethics Code Collection (ECC) to greater global prominence and usefulness. The ECC is a unique resource, comprising a curated collection of over 4,000 ethics codes and guidelines across a range of disciplines for over 40 years. It will serve as a more dynamic global resource for informing ethical decision making in professional, entrepreneurial, scientific, and technological fields, and inform critical research into the advancement of ethical practices in a rapidly changing world.
Educators have long recognized the importance of ethics codes in introducing students to concepts of professional responsibilities, and the ECC sees a large amount of use by professors and students from many different disciplines. Other users include entrepreneurs and practitioners looking for guidance in how to resolve professional ethical issues in their daily work, professional societies writing their own codes of ethics, and consumers interested in finding out more about the ethical guidelines of professionals. In the past 12 months, over 83,500 individuals passed through the ECC, with over 146,300 individual page views.
The current site faces a number of limitations. The existing keyword search is slow and cumbersome, and lacks the ability to sort search results. Users expect better performance from state-of-the-art digital collections. Users wishing to compare versions of ethics codes have to open up multiple browser windows, and do not have the ability to download site content in multiple formats.
We propose a comprehensive user-centered approach to improve the digital ECC for greater service to the academy and the general public. This work will also involve new research on the current and future roles of ethics codes within society, business, and technological innovation. The project will develop enriched educational resources, and extend those resources to a broader audience of professionals, emerging professionals, and citizens across the globe.
This IPRO project will focus on analyzing and designing a contemporary CSEP web site that will be the front-of-mind resource among a wide array of professionals, and easily accessible to them in their pursuit of greater understanding and practical guidance. The following types of questions and others will be identified in order to guide the effort:
How do we best understand the user experience?
- How can we promulgate the archive as a resource that more fully benefits its existing users and a broader public?
- How do we solve the search functionality to incorporate proprietary and non-proprietary resources?
- How do we broaden the international accessibility of the resource with translation tools?
This IPRO project will focus on:
- Site analysis through a user-centered approach.
- Understanding user behaviors, needs, and motivations through observation techniques, task analysis, interviewing, and other feedback methodologies to determine how the site is currently used, identify and catalog problem areas, and capture ideas that can lead to improvements in the user experience.
- Following market trends to identify new user groups that are not currently served or may be emerging because of market trends.
- Identifying major problems with the current site
- Create scenario storyboards to describe how users interact with the site and explore the major problems in their navigation experience.
- Developing user profiles and extreme personas with physical disabilities and logistical barriers that may affect use of the site and brainstorm ideas to address these issues Benchmarking best practices used by top performers in web performance and similar digital collections to evaluate various aspects of ECC.
Phil 380: Philosophical and Ethical Issues in Neuroscience
This course investigates the manifold implications of neuroscience on individuals and society. During the past decades, there has been a considerable increase in knowledge of the structure and functioning of the human brain which has led to the development and application of new brain-related technologies. The course will analyze the philosophical, ethical and societal aspects of these developments. It will introduce students to Benjamin Libet's experiments and to the debate on free will and individual responsibility these experiments provoked. It will reflect on the relation between brain and mind and will consider the role memory and modifications in memory have on a person's well-being and identity. It will explore ethical issues in pharmacological cognitive enhancement, i.e. in improving one's mental performance with drugs, and reflect about hypothetical ways of moral enhancement. Furthermore, it will introduce the philosophical, ethical and societal issues of neuroimaging techniques in medical and non-medical contexts and reflect on possible (future) uses of neuroscientific analytic tools in court and in marketing. Another focus of the course is on philosophical and ethical issues around consciousness, disorders of consciousness and brain death.

Lynne Kelly - The Skeptic's Guide to the Paranormal
February 15, 2008
Lynne Kelly is a writer and science educator in Australia, and a founding member of Australian Skeptics. An expert on the paranormal who uses aspects of the magician's art to advance skepticism, she holds degrees in education and engineering and is the author over a dozen books, including The Skeptic's Guide to the Paranormal.
In this discussion with D.J. Grothe, Lynne Kelly examines differences in paranormal beliefs between Australia and the United States, and whether such beliefs are growing. She talks about various paranormal topics from her book, including crop circles, psychic detectives, and communicating with the dead, and explains how to best convey a skeptical approach to students when addressing such topics. She addresses why she avoids overt skepticism of religion when educating her audiences, and why skepticism as a movement has often avoided religious faith claims. She also debates the perils and proper use of the magician's art, especially "cold reading," when teaching skepticism.

Anthony Wood purchased this apartment in 2013
Fantastic location, private pool and backyard, plenty of space, and we keep the apartment incredibly clean (we live upstairs and this our home) :-)
We are so close to everything, but yet in a safe area that is quiet.
We enjoyed a week at this well located, safe, quiet home. Easy transaction with helpful owners and property looks as pictured in photos. As noted there is no full kitchen, but in NOLA why would anyone cook anyway? Take heed of owner's restaurant recommendations and try Cowbell. And visit the zoo which is extraordinary. This is a perfect, reasonably priced accommodation.
Nice place: cozy, clean, safe. Close enough to what you'll want to do and see, but away enough for respite when needed. Spent some time everyday in the pool-and it was great. Responsive owners who are not intrusive. A lot to like here.
We loved staying here! The pool is amazing and the apartment is extremely comfortable.
It was so nice to stay in New Orleans in a comfy house rather than a small hotel room. Issue with bed in extra room that Anthony addressed immediately! Kids loved the pool and close to everything. Would stay again.
Over the 4th of July weekend, my husband and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary in this fantastic Audubon Gem. It was everything the internet said and more. The owners were so helpful and provided terrific tips for local cuisine and sights. The best part - being able to cool off in the pool. Of course the weather was hot, humid, and sticky, so having access to the pool was awesome!
Just want to say thanks again to Anthony for being so attentive and available, I really appreciated that. This property gave off a warm and inviting feeling, because of that I would definitely return and recommend it to others.
My husband and I and our two teens stayed here. Well located, especially if you have a car. Very clean and new. Safe neighborhood. The pool was perfect and we used it twice a day. Everything was provided - tools, plastic cutlery, coffee for the morning, etc. The kitchenette needs a sink, given that there is only one bathroom, but I would stay here again.....and again!
Conveniently located right near Tulane, but very close to all New Orleans attractions, restaurants, french quarter, river front, you name it, But we are in a quiet safe neighborhood.
