Be Beautiful. Designing a 3-ring Binder.
Practical. That is a word people use for 3-ring binders.
Imagine a 3-ring binder that goes beyond practical and becomes a design element, marketing tool and a work of art.
Some of the design issues you are going to run into have nothing to do with the practical thoughts of ring size (how much stuff are you putting in there) or the difference between round and "D" rings. (get binder ring info here!)
Printing your custom binder.
No matter what you design, we can print it on your binder. We print both offset and digitally printed binder options depending on your quantities.
The cover, spine and back cover of your binder are all on one printed sheet. Unlike vinyl slip sheeted or screen printed binders, your artwork is seamless with unmatched quality.
Remember that the spine of a binder is what is seen when it is on a shelf. This is an opportunity to create some visual excitement even when your binder is not in use.
Printing your binder liner (the inside)
If you are working on an offset printed binder, printing the liner is free! This gives you more room to make your statement, add information, and connect with your end user.
Haptic Binders – tactile marketing in just getting started!
Marketing seems to be just discovering the role of touch in our decision making process. With over 240 colors of book fabrics, debossing, UV printing, custom die cuts, soft touch laminations and foil stamping, you have a range of options that make your 3 ring binder tantalizing to touch.
3 ring binder closures
Most 3 ring binders don't have closures, but there are many ways to keep your information safe and your binder closed when you are not using it. Start with a portfolio binder, which has a flap that comes around to the front cover.
The most common closures are velcro (in white, black or clear) and magnets (square and round in many sizes). Both of these offer secure ways of keeping the covers. Straps are available also.

Print Facts #1: Submitting (Offset) Print Ready Artwork
Submitting Print Ready Artwork
These days, a lot of graphic designers are working more with digital formats than offset printing. An offset press offers opportunities that you don't get in digital yet – from PMS colors to a richer, deeper quality. Think digital photos vs. film if you remember back that far.
In order to ensure your project turns out just like you've envisioned it is important that your files are set up correctly for print. While our Prepress Department reviews your files, it makes the process much smoother if they have been set up correctly. So let's start with the basics!
What is Print-Ready?
If timing is critical
Make sure you have discussed turnaround times before starting your project and plan your project milestones accordingly so that you can keep everything on schedule. Jobs schedule based on proof approval, so if time is tight and there is a typo… Whoops! Missing your deadline could mean that your run can't go ahead until the press schedule has an opening. Also, you don't want to incur any rush charges if they could have been avoided.
Print size matters
One of the most common mistakes made when printing is sending a document that is not high image quality, which, if not corrected before the final run, can result in a printout that is fuzzy and lacking in clarity due to a lack of resolution. It's important that you create your document the same size. Designing at actual size reduces the margin for error with graphics, fonts and layout once printed. Remember that just because something looks great on your screen could become a disaster when printed in the large format, for which it was intended.
Proof your document thoroughly
Allow yourself plenty of time to thoroughly proof your document for any typographical, punctuation and grammatical errors. One of the easiest ways to review is to print out a copy so you can thoroughly read through it all. Also, if you wrote it, have at least one other person read it over. Really.
Print out a proof to see your artwork
Printing out a proof allows you to see how everything looks when printed. Even though it won't be to size, it is also a good idea to fold up the proof to mimic your product. It allows you to see ahead of time that everything is laid out correctly, reads the right way, and nothing falls off the print area.
All this will give you a good start in creating that 3 ring binder, pocket folder, box or packaging that your clients need.
Contact Corporate Image to get started. Our staff have the knowledge that can help you get the outstanding presentation product you need and make the process as easy as possible!

How does this compare to a vinyl binder?
It doesn't. Corporate Image makes recyclable binders that are non-toxic. Our printing is better, the binders last longer, don't poison the environment or go to landfills, and they look much, much better.
When considering your brand or corporate image, consider whether a vinyl binder sums up what you are trying to say. If not, let us send you a sample to show you how much better your materials can look and feel.

Using Print to Attract Customers (like Moths to a Flame)
"We gain interested people through our online campaigns. We gain customers when we get our materials in their hands…"
Grab a cup of coffee. Let's talk.
In a world of sensory overload, communicating by touch is the only way to connect emotionally with your customers.
Print is fun for us because it offers so many things just on the production end. From the craft, the smell, the feel of good paper, everyone in our building has a strong connection to our products.
The thing is, that same connection works for you too.
People respond to tactile things. There is a deep need to feel, to touch, that stimulates different parts of the brain than visual stimulation alone. Even if you are a completely online company, the chances are you can gain more clients and customer by having print materials.
Experience enhances information
Perception is an active process. To "be in touch with" a product, company or person is a primary urge. Our first intelligence is sensory refinement.
Printed materials offer a chance to present your brand quality, strength, and other qualities (eco friendly, glossy, solid, trustworthy) through a second channel. What you say can be backed up through more primal clues that reinforce and strengthen the logical arguments.
Print offers permanence
The sad truth is, people surf and are very distracted online. It is a busy, shifting medium. A well designed print piece creates a more focused, concentrated way to engage your customer's time and attention.
Once it is read, that 3 ring binder can sit on a shelf for reference. This shelf presence means you are always in front of your audience, even when the power goes out.
Print builds confidence
Whether you are showcasing building products for the contract industry, handing client's financial information, or providing medical information, the experience, quality and solidity of your marketing materials gives your customers confidence.
Corporate Image has been in the business of printing and manufacturing presentation materials for over 30 years. Their products have won awards from Best Binder in the World to GDUSA packaging awards and CMA awards. We specialize in 3-ring binders, pocket folders, presentation binders and boxes of all sorts. Our products are sustainable, recyclable and printed with soy inks.
Double Checking Your Project – Proofing
When you are creating art for a 3-ring binder, pocket folder, tab dividers, or custom box you need to double check that the art Corporate Image is printing is exactly what you envisioned.
How do you double check? We send you a proof! We have three different kinds of proofs depending on the need.
Oris Proofs for offset printed jobs
The Oris proof is calibrated to the press and gives a good idea of color along with art placement, and content. This is a proof of how the job will print, so all the details like fonts, lines and text show up as you set them up.
The Oris proof is a physical proof we will send to you for approval. This proof will be used at the press to insure the press sheets match what you approved.
Digital PDF Proofs for offset printed jobs
PDF printed proofs help you to check for placement and content. Because monitors are all calibrated differently, these proofs are not for checking color. These are very useful if there were small changes to text or art placement on your Oris proof.
Digitally Printed Proofs for Digital Binder Proofs
It is possible to get a digitally printed proof for your digital binder.
These proofs are printed on the same digital press that your digital binder will be printed on to give you an exact look at what your art will look like on the binder. These proofs are laminated to show exact final color. Generally, these are unnecessary, but if you or your client are concerned, ask your sales rep about the digital binder proofs.

Green Healthcare Furniture to Go with Green Presentation Materials!
For years Corporate Image has been working with healthcare and medical professionals to design presentation materials just for them.
Our focus is to create better designed pieces that last longer, have more design possibilities and are not the non-recyclable, toxic vinyl and plastic they had used in the past.
We have worked with the industry to create 3-ring binders, presentation binders and folders and kits and boxes for everything from patient information kits to medical device boxes – all 100% recyclable and strong!
So we were very excited to hear this:
Good news indeed for both employees and patients in hospitals! New measures are helping green healthcare furniture!
Naked Binder would like to applaud all of the Furniture manufacturers, Healthcare Facilities, Facebook and others who have pledged to eliminate these toxic chemicals from their businesses. (Now to pledge to eliminate vinyl binders?)

Choosing the right 3 ring Binder – from ring size to styles
Corporate Image has created 3-ring binder for the modern brand – sleek, sustainable with a huge range of options. Before you go planning window cuts, spot UV and other finishing options, make sure you have a good grasp on the basics.
What are you putting in your 3 ring binder?
Before you make any other decisions or hunt through hundreds of pictures of 3 ring binders, find out how many pages and other materials you need. This will clarify ring size, which gives a clear picture of what style of binder, 3-ring mechanism and how strong your binder needs to be.
Knowing the page count of your materials (and whether it vary) is key to determining ring size. Adding pamphlets, samples or give-aways, USB drives or other objects lets you know how large the spine of the binder might need to be.
How many sheets of paper does a binder ring hold?
This depends on what style of ring you choose. A D-ring and a round ring hold the paper differently and have different benefits.
D-ring binders
In a D-ring, the paper is held evenly on the right, meaning that your tab dividers all line up and there is a clean line of paper. Some people find the harder to turn the pages than a round ring ( though a slant D-ring solves this problem). A D-ring always mounts on the back panel of a binder – not the spine – so the paper rests on the flat part of the ring when it is closed. This makes the cover a little wider. If you need a small ring, it is good to know there is no 1/2″ D-ring.
Round ring binders (O ring)
A round ring can mount on the spine of a binder, so the covers, front and back, are a little shorter. It is easy to turn pages since it is a continuous curve. The issue with seeing tab dividers toward the bottom of the stack of information is negligible in smaller rings and up to you to decide if it is an issue in large rings. A lot of people don't see it as a problem. For people with small paper needs – you can get a 1/2″ O ring binder!

Future of looseleaf binder manufacturing…is in Iowa.
The loose leaf binder has been around since about 1860, and since then the design has had only minor changes. During the latter half of the 20th century the vinyl binder came about, billed as a cheaper modern version of the 3 ring binder.
Since those days, we have discovered that vinyl binders not only fall apart quickly, but are impossible to recycle and actually toxic.
Corporate Image started manufacturing 3 ring loose leaf binders 30 years ago and wanted to do better than what was already on the market. They designed some of the first turned edge flex hinge or European hinged binders ever made in the US.
Because the hinge of the binder is pressed directly into the board, these loose leaf binders are super strong. The covers will never just fall off with normal use or because it is cold. Also, these binders could have offset printed covers and liners allowing the artwork to be a fine piece of art.
Over the last 30 years, Corporate Image has pushed sustainability, using soy inks and 100% post consumer waste board, and design, creating a huge range of custom options for 3 ring binders.
From portfolio closures, round spines, custom window cuts, special finishes and sustainable materials, Corporate Image has pushed the loose leaf 3 ring binder into the 21st century and created a binder for the modern brand.

Looking for a 3 Ring Binder and Presentation Material manufacturer?
What should you expect from a 3-ring binder manufacturer.
Presentation and 3 ring binder manufacturers are not all alike. If you are new to the game of ordering custom printed products, we'd like to give you a few ideas of what to look for in your print manufacturer.
Innovations… Styles… Options… Strengths….
Print and presentation packaging vary heavily from job to job – many of the questions may be best answered or collaborated on with your printer. Digital or offset printing, 4 color process or 4 cp plus a spot color, the best closure for cost, strength or looks (bearing in mind that what is best for one is not always best for another). Many times your project becomes a collaborative venture as you get input from the product designers, production and sales reps, which results in a fantastic product.
Innovation from your manufacturer is also important. Knowing the capabilities best and what has worked over a large range of products allows your manufacturer to be proactive in finding you solution.
Customer Service
Your sales team will help you navigate your process from start to finish so you want them responsive, knowledgable and able to listen. Any printer worth their salt should be able to provide samples, estimates, mock-ups for new products, templates, proofs and double check your art.
Design Support
Does your print manufacturer have product designers on staff who can create products to your specifications and work with you to get exactly what you need? Even standard products are designed. Make sure your manufacturer is not just copying a template they found on the internet.
An example: Our product designers create for strength, looks, ease of use and to work with your materials. Even in something as seemingly simple as pocket folders, we re-designed the top 25 pocket folders so you know exactly which envelope they fit in, greatest range of pages, longevity and simplicity.
Clear accounting guidelines save you time and headaches. From credit policies to payment terms, get clear information.

Cloth 3 Ring Binders: Classy, strong and tactile.
If you are looking to up your 3 ring binder game, look into a cloth binder.
A cloth binder offers a sense of elegance and permanence that you don't find in plastic or vinyl binders. Plastic and vinyl project a feeling of impermanence, cost cutting as well as being toxic.
Cloth binder options:
Color. and lots of it.
B-cloth, Pearl Linen and Verona Naturals are three options for wrapping your binder (b-cloth shown below)
Why not merge the beauty of cloth with the branding of print? With printed spine wraps your 3 ring binder can have it all.
This binder is a great example of a print and cloth mix. A printed spine wrap visually pops next to the classic look of the foils stamped cloth.
The brand is supported and enhanced by the contrast.
Foil Stamping.
Foil stamping is on cloth offers a range of options and colors allowing you to match corporate colors and logos. Sometimes subtle, sometimes bold, foil stamping gives a unique look for your binder.
The benefits of cloth go beyond looks and feel. Book cloths are incredibly durable making a cloth binder stronger than almost any other binder you can find. The cloth binder you make today can easily still be in use (and looking great) 30 years from now. How do we know? We use our own product and Corporate Image is 30 years old.
If you are considering using a 3 ring binder to represent your company, a cloth binder gives you a feel, look and branding that is unique. Contact us to learn more!

How to Recycle a 3-Ring Binder Made Easy.
Recycling a 3-ring binder is easy – ( assuming you don't have a vinyl binder )
If you have a paper based binder – not plastic or vinyl, you are already working with a much more eco friendly binder. The core of ever Corporate Image and Naked Binder is 100% post consumer waste binders board. Every binder is recycled and recyclable.
This Naked Binder video shows you how you can have your eco friendly 3-ring binder ready to recycle in seconds.
Tools You Need:
Flat head (standard) Screwdriver.
9 seconds.
Recycling a Vinyl Binder is harder. There is no option to just recycle a vinyl binder the way you can a paper one. They fall apart faster and yet are basically landfill – somewhat toxic landfill. Naked Binder tried to find a way to recycle vinyl binders. If you like you can read about our quest here.
First, pop out the ring, just as you saw above.
Next take a knife and cut open the vinyl about a half inch from the edge of each panel and on the spine. You will probably need to split the vinyl on at least two sides of each panel to remove the chipboard panels inside.
Now that you have the components, the board can go in the paper recycling, the metal in the metal recycling and the vinyl? Now there is a good question. time to get on the phone to find out if your city/county/state has vinyl recycling capabilities. You will find they don't. While the industry says it recyclable "there are currently no vinyl recycling programs available." (from thread post).
If you have 6 binders, this is a pain, takes about 30 minutes, and a bit of garbage that will go to landfill. If you are a corporation with 10,000 binders, this is more serious. Besides the time to separate each component, Landfills consider vinyl a toxic asset in large quantities. The 3,000 pounds of vinyl you have will need to be shipped to a special landfill or stored indefinitely.
In these cases, the per binder cost sky rockets. Including labor, storage and shipping (along with short life and toxicity) into the binder price may convince you that the initial cost savings were not worth it.
The moral of this tale is to use paper based 3-ring binders. They are stronger, look better and 100% recyclable!

Writing a RFP or RFQ for Custom 3-ring Binders? Here is a little help.
This is a guest post by Lori Owens
Sometimes you need a little help writing a Custom Binder RFP/RFQ
Writing an RFP (Request For Proposal) or an RFQ (Request for Quote) for custom printed 3-ring binders (or finding a binder option for that variable data) can be a tough undertaking. There are a lot of variables involved, from the purpose of the binder, the artwork, the size, and even the material.
Whether you are looking for a customized printed 3-ring binder or a binder that allows you to print your own labels to provide that variable data for your binder project look no farther – Corporate Image and Naked Binder can help with your needs.
What do you need to specify for your binder RFP or RFQ?
There are some basic things to consider right off. How the binder is being used will be key. How much information is being put in, how it will be used and how it needs to represent your brand are the basic questions.
What Size Custom 3-ring Binder Do We Need?
The two key things to know here are what size paper are you putting in the binder and how much.
Is the paper US standard, half sheet or A4? If you are in the US or Canada, generally it will be 8.5″ x 11″ paper. If not, the chances are your binder will hold A4.
The next measurement to look for is capacity. For a custom manufacturer binder size is actually a measurement of ring capacity, and not the width of the spine of the binder.
In order to determine ring size in reviewing responses to your RFP, we have provided a quick overview of what ring size would be appropriate for your custom binder application, the table below is based on the number of sheets of 20# bond paper. As you can see D-ring binders hold more paper than Round ring binders. If you have a larger ring size and are using tab dividers, a D-ring also holds the paper flatter on the insuring your tabs are visible.
What are Our Priorities in this Custom 3-ring Binder RFP/RFQ?
Before we can quote a binder, you need to decide the look and feel of your binder. (See a gallery of 3-ring binder styles here!) How you are using it and what art and finish you want will determine whether it is a lined and cased binder or paperboard binder, or whether it will print digitally or offset.
Look and Feel of the binder – how it is used – how it fits with your brand
Binder Options (options list here)
Production Time, Methods, and Preferences
Another key consideration you should outline in your RFP is your anticipated project date, and whether or not the "required by" date is firm. We would specify if the request is doable right away. If the required by date is flexible (or far enough out), it allows us to consider all possible options in meeting your request, and maximizing your budget.
Corporate Image and Naked Binder's manufacturing plant is located in Des Moines, IA, we are happy to say our binders are made in the USA. This allows for a quick turnaround time and also knowing shipping costs would be less than importing binders.
Outlining these preferences in your RFP/RFQ is helpful in generating an accurate response and enabling us to find the most effective solution for your custom binder project.
How Flexible Are Your Custom Binder Specifications?
These options might include ring size, type of paper, turned-edge, flush cut, bare board binder, or paperboard binders, finishes, D-ring, slant D-ring or round ring, artwork… any one of a number of variables. By indicating which specifications may be able to be modified in order to make your project work, this will provide us with the information needed in order to make a proper and accurate response.
Custom Binder Warehousing, Drop Shipping, and Fulfillment
It is important to include information in your RFP about the implementation of your binder program.
Will your binder program require drop shipping to multiple locations, either at the start of the program or throughout the year?
If you're drop shipping, will it be "blind drop shipping" or white labeling?
Need More Help with Your Custom Binder RFP or RFQ?
Have Questions? We're always willing to help. Please feel free to contact your sales consultant and let us help understand your project and provide the best possible solution for your binder project. We look forward to working with you! Contact us and let us give you a hand!
A4 paper sizing: Why is A4 sized the way it is?
In the US, there is little understanding of the A4 paper size used everywhere except in North America.
It is a great system – elegant and rational – and worth looking at. There is also a reason that your 3-ring binder won't work with A4 paper as it is taller.
The A series of paper sizes are designed so that when you cut one in half, you get two pieces of the next-smallest-size, and every size has height and width in the same proportion. A little math reveals that one can achieve this by having the height and width in the ratio sqrt(2):1, or approximately 1.414:1.
So once you've decided that this is the ratio you want for your page, how do you decide the absolute size?
In the case of the A series of paper sizes, an A0 piece of paper is exactly 1 square metre, requiring width x width x 1.414 = 1, which gives a width of 84.1cm and height of 118.9cm (to the nearest mm).
An A1 piece of paper has a length that's the same as the width of A0, or 84.1cm, and a width of 84.1cm / sqrt (2) = 59.5cm. Which you'll notice is half the height of the A0 size (118.9cm).
These relationships hold true going all the way down to A10:
It happens that of the A series, A4 is the one that's closest to the traditional size used for correspondence, and this has therefore become the de facto standard paper size in the metric world (i.e. pretty much globally except the United States).
One fairly obvious consequence of this is that one can make a booklet of a particular size, from a sheet of the next-largest-size folded in half. So A3 sheets of paper can be folded to create A4-size booklets.
Another interesting consequence is that it becomes easy to calculate the weight of single sheets. Standard photocopy paper is usually 80gsm (grams per square metre), thus an A0 sheet, being 1 square metre, weighs 80g. An A1 weighs 40g, A2 is 20g, A3 is 10g, and A4 is 5g. (And so on.)
Stumbled on at Quora
Hole Placement for 3-Ring Binders – a handy guide.
We will get calls from people asking what the hole placement is for various rings in binder – from A4 to notebook sized binders.
Until know, we didn't have a great visual that explain it. Then we found this chart which offers an instant reference for 12 different binder ring configurations. Most of you probably don't get as excited as we do about these things, but there it is. We were psyched.
Find your binder ring size and the space between the rings is listed on the right:
I have a half sheet notebook binder, and need to punch paper for it. I thumb down until I find "US 3 rings for 51/2 x 81/2" paper.
There are 3-rings and it says "(2x 2 3/4″)". This means there are two spaces, 2-3/4″ wide. Since it is a 3 ring set up, set up the middle ring in the center and the other two rings 2-3/4″ our from that and – voilá! – perfectly spaced rings.
The perfect guide for hole placement in 3-ring binders. Carry your copy with you always!
Are we proud of our digitally printed binders? Yes we are.

This binder for the Des Moines Art Festival (an excellent Arts Festival by the way) was designed by Kayli Kunkel and just came off the line yesterday. When we got a look at it, we were excited. When the Art Festival saw it – well lets say they were very pleased:

Understanding Your Plastics – PVCs
So why limit your exposure to PVC?
Our sister company Naked Binder makes off the shelf eco friendly 3-ring binders and pocket folders and has done a lot of research on vinyls, plastics and the environment. Corporate Image has been printing with soy inks, using recycled papers and board and making custom recycled and recyclable 3-ring binders, pocket folders and boxes for nearly 30 years. Together we plan to make recyclable 3-ring binders and folders the standard, eliminating tons of vinyl waste in our landfills, offices and homes.
Why you ask? So happy you did!
No other plastic contains or releases as many dangerous chemicals. These include dioxins, phthalates, vinyl chloride, ethylene dichloride, lead, cadmium, and organotins. There's no safe way to manufacture, use or dispose of PVC products
In You and your food. As a persistent bioaccumulative toxin (PBT), it does not breakdown rapidly and travels around the globe, accumulating in fatty tissue and concentrating as it goes up the food chain. Dioxins from Louisiana manufacturing plants migrate on the winds and concentrate in Great Lakes fish. Dioxins are even found in hazardous concentrations in the tissues of whales and polar bears and in Inuit mother's breast milk. The dioxin exposure of the average American already poses a calculated risk of cancer of greater than 1 in 1,000 – thousands of times greater than the usual standard for acceptable risk. Really scary is that dioxins concentrate in breast milk to the point that human infants now receive high doses, orders of magnitude greater than those of the average adult.
Air pollution near plants: In Mossville, Louisiana, air monitoring conducted by the US Environmental Protection Agency in 1999 showed concentrations of vinyl chloride more than 120 times higher than the ambient air standard.
Working in plants: Studies have documented links between working in vinyl chloride production facilities and the increased likelihood of developing diseases including angiosarcoma of the liver, a rare form of liver cancer, brain cancer, lung cancer, lymphomas, leukemia, and liver cirrhosis.
(non) Recycling
The multitudes of additives required to make PVC useful make large scale post consumer recycling nearly impossible for most products and interfere with the recycling of other plastics. Of an estimated 7 billion pounds of PVC thrown away in the US, only 14 million – less than 1/2 of 1 percent – is recycled. The Association of Post Consumer Plastics Recyclers declared efforts to recycle PVC a failure and labeled it a contaminant in 1998. We tried. Learn more about how that went.
Although vinyl is in theory recyclable, there are currently no vinyl recycling programs available. The vast majority of PVCs end up in landfill or incinerated – and both are environmentally hazardous. Currently 0.1% to 3% of vinyl is recycled (mostly industrial waste) of the 2 billion and 4 billion pounds of PVC that is discarded in the US every year.
Fire dangers
PVC poses a great risk in building fires, as it releases deadly gases long before it ignites, such as hydrogen chloride which turns to hydrochloric acid when inhaled. As it burns, whether accidentally or in waste incineration, it releases yet more toxic dioxins. PVC burning in landfill fires may now be the single largest source of dioxin releases to the environment. If you see the former entry about recycling, with the approximately 8400 landfill fires every year in the US, this is an issue.

The importance of using healthy materials in design
Designing any object, whether a 3-ring binder or a building requires thought into use, environment and user. For years, the idea of healthier environments was not a high priority – people smoked at work, the convenience of plastics out-weighed many other concerns -but with greater information on how things affect us, healthier is becoming a larger component of design.
I thought this article was interesting as a perspective from an architect designing the spaces we all spend a lot of time in:
For the rest of the article go here.
From our perspective as a manufacturer, what goes inside the building is equally important. We spoke with an architect who had a LEED building fail it's initial air test because of the furnishings and office supplies. With 60 million + 3-ring binders being sold in the US each year, we believe that from carpeting to binders, each element of your environment needs to be considered.
At Corporate Image, we design every component of our products. From inert laminates to soy inks, recycled papers to 100% recyclability, we track what we use to give you a healthy product that looks and works better than anything else you can find.

Old rivalries and dramas from past seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette will get new life this year as ABC is creating a spin-off show in which former contestants will live and compete together in a Big Brother-style house.
The show, titled Bachelor Pad, will bring back 20 memorable contestants from the previous 13 Bachelor and five Bachelorette seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed blog. It's expected to premiere in late summer.
"All these people have been friends, been enemies, they date each other and bring all this great backstory to the show," says executive producer Martin Hilton. "It seemed like there was an opportunity to combine that world with a new competitive reality show."
The contestants haven't been revealed, but Hilton said top players and former winners are on board. The show will feature various challenges, some inspired by incidents from past seasons. Contestants will be booted from the house at the end of each episode. And Bachelor and Bachelorette host Chris Harrison has signed on to emcee. -Tim Nudd

Hospira is shelling out €11.1 million (about $16.25 million) up front as part of a licensing and co-development deal for ChemGenex' leukemia therapy. The agreement covers omacetaxine mepesuccinate in Europe, the Middle East, and specific African countries.
The deal could be worth another €74.1 million, or $108.46 million, to ChemGenex in performance milestones. The company will also be paid royalties on future sales of the drug.
Marketing approval applications for omacetaxine have already been accepted for regulatory review in the U.S. and Europe. The applications cover use of the drug as a treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia in patients who demonstrate the Bcr-Abl T3151 mutation and have failed to respond to Gleevec.
Under the terms of the agreement, ChemGenex will complete registration of omacetaxine with the EMEA. Hospira will be responsible for commercializing omacetaxine in its licensed territories. The companies will also collaborate to investigate additional applications of the drug in a range of hematological malignancies.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control.

Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

Overheating of a diesel engine can be caused by anything that decreases the efficiency of the cooling system. Low levels or loss of coolant, poor air flow through the radiator and a defective thermostat are just a few of the problems that could cause a diesel engine to overheat.Know More
According to Arrowhead Radiator Service, a slipping fan clutch, a broken cooling fan and a collapsed radiator hose also decrease the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport and dissipate heat through the engine. The hot metal of an engine must always have contact with a cooling liquid to avoid overheating. To keep the temperature from rising, the coolant, a cooling liquid, must always be kept in circulation. The coolant must get rid of this heat as it passes through the block and head, which requires a functioning radiator. The thermostat is another important engine structure that regulates the temperature of the engine. The thermostat must always have the ability to open, or the flow of coolant comes to a halt. If the flow of coolant is ever disrupted or blocked, the diesel engine rises in temperature and overheats. It is also important to check for leaks to prevent any loss of coolant.Learn more about Engine
According to United Diesel, causes of a non-starting diesel engine include low compression, insufficient fuel pressure, faulty glow plugs, contaminated fuel and low crank speed. Others include insufficient fuel, clogged fuel filters and internal engine problems. Many of these issues require professional evaluation with sophisticated diagnostic equipment. Others manifest clear symptoms that help vehicle owners identify the problem, even if they lack the equipment to fix it.Full Answer >
The Ford Power Stroke diesel engine is manufactured by Ford at its manufacturing plant in Chihuahua, Mexico, as of 2015. Ford began manufacturing the Power Stroke in 2011. From 1982 to 2010, the Power Stroke engine was manufactured by Navistar for Ford.Full Answer >
If properly maintained, a diesel engine can last between 300,000 to 600,000 miles. In a few cases, drivers have reported that their diesel engines endured up to 1,000,000 miles.Full Answer >
A diesel engine is powered by extreme air pressure that ignites the fuel in the cylinders to create internal combustion. This is why diesel vehicles require drivers to wait several seconds after attempting to start the ignition. The waiting period gives the air pressure time to accumulate in the cylinders.Full Answer >

Ministry News
Opposition in Brooklyn Is Growing!
November 2014
Dear friends,
Shalom! We recently observed the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot in Hebrew—meaning "booths"), which is a big event in my home town of Brooklyn! Our urban landscape was dotted with little booths made of plywood, canvas and palm branches. These booths, in which religious Jews eat their meals and even sleep during the week, remind us of our vulnerability and desperate need of God's love and power. He is the One who sustained the Israelites through the wilderness wanderings and cares for His chosen people. The week is dedicated to encouraging Jewish people to trust Him for everything: our life, food, family and safety.
This reminder of God's care and protection during the celebration of the Festival of Tabernacles (also called the Festival of Booths) is especially meaningful in Israel this year. God has shown His Jewish people and the world, once again, that He is the One who keeps Israel against all odds. My prayer is that Israelis begin to see this and turn to the only One who can preserve the Jewish people through difficult times… And to His Son, our beloved Messiah and Lord.
Sukkot Booths in Brooklyn
Increasing Opposition
We have been under spiritual attack from some of our Orthodox neighbors in Brooklyn because of our new and beautiful Charles Feinberg Center in Brooklyn. You can watch the video that was sent out by this group by visiting: http://vimeo.com/102548758.
Remember though, we love our people! If I did not know what I know now about Jesus and true Christians, I probably would have sent out a similar video! I wish every Jewish person understood how much true Christians, who love the Lord and the Word of God, also love the Jewish people.
We all know about Corrie ten Boom and her love and sacrifice for the Jewish people during the Holocaust—but there were many others. I can tell you about efforts during the Holocaust to save Jews—especially on the part of the missions to the Jewish people—that are somewhat unknown to this day. Jewish missions were actively involved in rescuing Jewish people from certain annihilation at the hands of the Nazis.
A Miracle in Vienna
Let me illustrate briefly by telling you the accomplishments of a group of missionaries in Vienna.
Hitler invaded Vienna on March 15, 1938 in what was known as the Anschluss, or annexation of Austria. There were 181,778 Jews in Austria at this time, more than 90% of whom lived in Vienna. Hitler and Goebbels sought their complete destruction.
Prior to the invasion of Vienna, there had been a major meeting of missionaries to the Jews; these leaders predicted what was coming and knew they needed to act. They worked out an arrangement with the Swedish Israelite Mission, which maintained a large property in Vienna, to become the focal point of rescue efforts in Austria.
The leader of the Swedish Mission in Vienna at the time writes:
The Swedish Mission to the Jews in Vienna could report when its doors had to be closed in 1941 that over 3,000 Christians of Jewish origin in its care had been able to leave Germany and Austria in order to build a better future in other parts of the world.
Your Mission to the Jewish People was also deeply involved in smuggling Jews out of Vienna. One of our staff members, Emmanuel Lichtenstein, who would eventually move to Argentina and begin our work among some of these survivors who settled in Buenos Aires, was working in partnership with the Swedish mission.
Otto Singer, working among the Jews of New York City on behalf of Chosen People Ministries, told the story of one family that had received Messiah in Vienna and was able to escape the Nazis. He reported the following in The Chosen People magazine:
Brother S. was a manager in a large department store in Vienna for more than twenty years. After the Anschluss, he lost his position and he could not get a job, because he was a non-Aryan. He came in contact with our Emmanuel Lichtenstein (a Chosen People Ministries missionary working in Vienna) at the Swedish Jewish mission in Vienna. In a short time he received the Lord Jesus as his personal savior and confessed his faith in baptism. He came to our services regularly and was a blessing to others.
By the end of the war, 70,000 Austrian Jews had been slaughtered and an additional 20,000 who had immigrated to other countries died as well, as the Nazis entered the countries to which they fled. Many more, especially the Messianic Jews, would have also died were it not for the heroic efforts of the Christians in Vienna.
But, this sacrificial love for the Jewish people is not simply a thing of the past during a terrible time. There are many stories today of Christians loving Jewish people and impacting lives for Jesus the Messiah.
Recent Ministry in Denmark
Believers from Denmark invited one of our staff members in Israel to bring a group of Holocaust survivors to have the kind of fellowship that would make a difference in their lives. The purpose of the trip was to enable the elderly survivors to rest in the midst of the recent war. More importantly, it was a time to think about God—why we need the Lord, and how to become closer to Him.
The majority of them were seekers and they asked many questions concerning the authenticity and the trustworthiness of the Bible. They enjoyed the beauty of the country; visited museums and two churches, and listened to concerts of Jewish, Messianic and Christian music. According to our staff,
The Christians we met were the most wonderful part of the trip because they are the ones who made the difference in the lives of the survivors.
Your Partnership and Prayers
I pray that your Jewish friends and family will learn more about the Messiah through your love, both in word and deed. And hopefully this will help Jewish people love the Savior who fills our hearts with His love. I am reminded of Paul's statement in Romans 5:3-5 where he writes that God's love is all we need to have hope in the midst of trials and tribulations. I need this hope—as do so many Jewish people who do not yet know Messiah.
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Back in Brooklyn…
We now have Jewish organizations established within a few blocks of our Brooklyn facility that are seeking to oppose us. Again, this is not unexpected and we would much rather have the same Jewish people attending our Bible studies and services, but—for me it is certainly evidence of the fact they know something is going on at our center.
To help us expand our ministries at the Brooklyn Center, would you consider a generous gift to help us meet our center budget of $200,000 this year?
The costs for the Feinberg seminary program are a little higher, but whatever amount you can contribute—even today—would be a great encouragement and help embolden us to approach our "self-declared enemies" with the love of Jesus.
I know that the Lord is blessing our efforts and already we've had many conversations with Jewish seekers both outside and within the new center. We simply need to keep the doors open, the lights and utilities paid for and the staff having enough funds to care for their families.
Your financial help will make an incredible difference in our ability to preach the Gospel today.
Thanks so much for praying about this and for our work in the midst of Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn.
Blessings in Him,
President's Prayer Letter
October 2014
Dear friend in Messiah,
We are still in the midst of the High Holy Days—one of the most important seasons in Jewish life. It consists of three Jewish holidays: the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot).
The High Holidays encourage us to draw closer to God and to appreciate our salvation in the Messiah Jesus in far deeper ways than usual. In fact, this is exactly why God created the Jewish Holy Days. He marked seven great festivals and a weekly Sabbath as times for Jewish people to refrain from everyday activities and focus their full attention on Him.
The Day of Atonement
Yom Kippur is the capstone of a ten-day period, beginning with Rosh Hashanah, called the Ten Days of Repentance or sometimes the Ten Days of Awe. During this time, we are supposed to repent before God and our fellow man, asking forgiveness for the ways in which we may have harmed others. It is this focus on healing that comes from forgiving and being forgiven that I believe is one of the true miracles of life. It is at the very core of the Gospel message!
To be forgiven and then be able to forgive is a gift. There are very few experiences able to heal the heart and soul as forgiveness can.
May I tell you a quick story about one of my heroes—Corrie ten Boom? She is a woman who really understood the power of forgiveness and the struggles that go along with forgiving.
It was in a church in Germany that I saw him, a balding heavy-set man in a gray overcoat, a brown felt hat clutched between his hands. People were filing out of the basement room where I had just spoken. It was 1947, and I had come from Holland to defeated Germany with the message that God forgives.
And that's when I saw him, working his way forward against the others. One moment I saw the overcoat and the brown hat; the next, a blue uniform and a visored cap with its skull and crossbones. It came back with a rush: the huge room with its harsh overhead lights, the pathetic pile of dresses and shoes in the center of the floor, the shame of walking naked past this man. I could see my sister's frail form ahead of me, ribs sharp beneath the parchment skin. Betsie, how thin you were!
Betsie and I had been arrested for concealing Jews in our home during the Nazi occupation of Holland; this man had been a guard at Ravensbruck concentration camp where we were sent.
"You mentioned Ravensbruck in your talk," he was saying. "I was a guard in there." No, he did not remember me.
"But since that time," he went on, "I have become a Christian. I know that God has forgiven me for the cruel things I did there, but I would like to hear it from your lips as well. Fraulein, ..." his hand came out, "will you forgive me?"
And I stood there—I whose sins had every day to be forgiven—and could not. Betsie had died in that place—could he erase her slow terrible death simply for the asking?
It could not have been many seconds that he stood there, hand held out, but to me it seemed hours as I wrestled with the most difficult thing I had ever had to do.
For I had to do it—I knew that. The message that God forgives has a prior condition: that we forgive those who have injured us. "If you do not forgive men their trespasses," Jesus says, "neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses."
And still I stood there with the coldness clutching my heart. But forgiveness is not an emotion—I knew that too. Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart. "Jesus, help me!" I prayed silently. "I can lift my hand, I can do that much. You supply the feeling."
And so woodenly, mechanically, I thrust my hand into the one stretched out to me. And as I did, an incredible thing took place. The current started in my shoulder, raced down my arm, sprang into our joined hands. And then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being, bringing tears to my eyes.
"I forgive you, brother!" I cried. "With all my heart!"
For a long moment we grasped each other's hands, the former guard and the former prisoner.
I had never known God's love so intensely as I did then.1
This powerful story reminds me of one of my favorite Scripture passages to meditate on during the Day of Atonement. Yeshua the Messiah, who observed the Day of Atonement before He became the Atonement, said the following in Matthew chapter 6,
For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions.
The Savior was making the point that Corrie ten Boom well illustrated,
…that authentic forgiveness is only possible when you have been forgiven.
Our salvation is not based on forgiving others, but it is also true that citizens of the kingdom of God cannot walk in fellowship with God if we refuse to forgive others.2
A person can only forgive as they have been forgiven! When we forgive others, it shows that we understand what it means to be forgiven by God Himself. Extending forgiveness releases others from their sin/debt to us and clears the path for reconciliation and restoration.
Bringing the Message of Atonement to the Jewish People
I love the Day of Atonement because it reminds me of what our work at Chosen People Ministries is all about! What could be more precious and more meaningful than bringing this message of forgiveness and reconciliation to the Jewish people—and to the world?
Thank you for your prayers and financial support. We could not possibly do this work without you! If you are able to make a generous gift this month to the work of bringing the Gospel to the Jewish people, let me assure you that your gift will be used exactly for this purpose—to bring the message of forgiveness to God's chosen people.
May the Lord who forgives grant you great joy and the power to forgive others.
Your brother in the Messiah,

Our Dedicated Workers on the Front Lines
September 2014
Dear friend in the Messiah,
Shalom from New York City and I pray you have a Happy Jewish New Year as we will celebrate Rosh Hashanah on the 25th of this month! According to tradition, we are entering the year 5775. Please pray for our holiday services that will be held all month, as we expect many Jewish seekers to attend.
It has been quite a summer for Your Mission to the Jewish People. We completed a successful evangelistic outreach—Shalom Brooklyn (in Brooklyn of course!). We shared the Gospel with hundreds of Jewish people, and many prayed to receive the Lord. We are now following up with all of these Jewish contacts who are open to hearing more about Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah! Our new Messianic congregations, one in Russian and one in English, are both fully operational and meeting at our Feinberg Center in the heart of Orthodox Jewish Brooklyn—the ideal environment for these new seekers!
It has been a very difficult and yet fruitful season of ministry in the Holy Land. In the midst of air raid sirens, falling rockets and the tension of soldiers battling for the security of Israel, the work of Messiah has continued. We held children's camps, trips for Holocaust survivors, Bible studies, congregational meetings, ministries to drug addicts and so much more.
My Brother and Co-Worker – Maxim Katz
One of the staff members of Chosen People Ministries in Israel that I wish you could meet is Maxim Katz. This dear, hard-working brother leads our ministries among Holocaust survivors and elderly Russian Jews in Israel. He leads our children's camps and ministries to soldiers as well.
Maxim grew up in the Former Soviet Union in the city of Birobidzhan. As an older teenager, he left home and immigrated to Israel. After a short time, in what he hoped would be his "promised land," Maxim fell into a very unwholesome lifestyle. He began using drugs and alcohol, and soon he was living on the streets. As terrible as this was, this nonetheless led to some life-transforming experiences that would shape the character and future of this young immigrant to Israel.
The most important of these experiences was that Maxim came to know Jesus. He was raised a Jewish atheist, having no concept of God or what it meant to be religiously Jewish. He knew he was Jewish and that Israel was a place he could go to escape the bleak prospects of life and career in the Former Soviet Union. But, like the prodigal son, he left his home and found himself in a far worse condition than before.
Yet God had other plans! He graciously saved Maxim in the city of Eilat, and this young man began growing in his faith. There were some really rough moments when he was tempted to return to his old lifestyle, but through the ministry of a Christian community called The Shelter and the good influence of many others, Maxim pulled through for the Lord. Eventually, Maxim went through a number of discipleship courses offered in Israel and spent a number of years studying at Israel College of the Bible.
Maxim became friends with the leader of Chosen People Ministries in Israel, Michael Z., another Russian Jewish immigrant who had come to the Lord. Michael encouraged Maxim to serve the Lord in full-time Jewish ministry and in 2002, Maxim began his work with Chosen People Ministries. His life—and the work of Chosen People Ministries in Israel—was never the same!
As I mentioned before, God used the difficult experiences in Maxim's life to shape his character. From a very early stage in his ministry, Maxim demonstrated a heart of compassion that I have rarely seen among believers. He loves children, elderly people and everyone in between. Maxim works tirelessly to show Israelis the love of Jesus in the most practical ways: listening, feeding them and providing companionship, just to name a few.
Eventually, Maxim began a ministry of both practical and spiritual help among elderly Holocaust survivors, which continues to this very day. There are elderly Holocaust survivors who have opened their hearts to the Messiah because God used Maxim to touch their lives!
During the last few months, Maxim's ministry among the survivors has intensified because of the war with Hamas in Gaza. Maxim has been able to show the love of Jesus by bringing food, comfort and the Gospel to these precious people, most of whom are between 80 and 90 years old. Some had not left their homes for two or three weeks because they needed to stay within fifteen seconds of a bombshelter—it was simply tragic! Maxim has a tremendous influence among so many of them.
The Daniel Fuchs Memorial Fund: Helping Our Under-Supported Missionaries
There was a time when Maxim wanted to serve with Chosen People Ministries, but because he lived in Israel it was impossible for him to raise support. His English was not good and he was unable to travel to the United States to speak in churches or meet Christians who might support his ministry.
Now, his English has improved—and so has his level of support. But there are others like Maxim who need our help. This is why we created the Daniel Fuchs Memorial Fund, named after one of the Mission's previous presidents who had a great heart for our missionaries and their families.
We have many other staff members living in Israel, Russia, Ukraine and Western Europe who are willing and ready to serve, but need our prayers and financial support to get started! Thank God for the United States of America, Canada and other countries where supporting God's work through individual missionaries is a fundamental principle of our faith and walk with Jesus. We are privileged to live in places where we can worship as we please and provide resources that can be used to spread the Gospel around the world—to the Jew first and also to the Gentile.
Would you please consider a gift today to help some wonderful ministry workers, who for one reason or another are unable to raise their support? We want to help them get started and to provide support until, by God's grace, they are able to raise the support themselves.
The average need varies considerably with the country in which the worker lives—so it is hard for me to tell you how much we need. One staff member in Israel needs about $25,000 each year to make ends meet, while another in Russia needs between $10,000 and $15,000 per year. Some of our staff in Brooklyn need more than this.
We try to invest in staff members who serve in areas where raising support is especially difficult, and we also try to do the most for those who are in the beginning stages of their ministries. Your gift today can help put a missionary on the field!
Seniors Receive New Life in Messiah
Carole Bahm, who has been faithfully ministering among Jewish retirees in South Florida, has been witnessing to a 103-year-old Jewish man by the name of Aaron.* His sister-in-law, Kate,* has been doing likewise for many years. Recently, Aaron prayed to receive Jesus as his Messiah and Lord. Carole writes, "When I visited Aaron, I said to him, 'I understand you accepted Yeshua (Jesus) as your Messiah and Lord. Is that right?' He looked at me for a long time and then said, 'Yes.' To see someone like Aaron become a believer at his age has been a great encouragement. Oh, by the way, he just turned 104."
Meanwhile in Israel, another Jewish man—a relative youngster at the age of 85-—responded to the Gospel at a weekly Bible study that staff member Eugene I. helps lead. He writes, "At the next meeting, he even prayed on his own. I am very excited for him. It is also an encouragement for many who attend our meetings who have not yet fully committed to following Messiah."
Patient Prayer Bears Fruit for Kingdom
Staff member Anna Bortsova in Toronto knows what it is to patiently wait for a planted seed to flourish. A few years ago, at a women's Bible study that Anna was leading, an unbelieving Jewish woman named Deborah* was "sitting on the fence" regarding a decision for the Lord. Later, she moved with her family to California and although Anna continued to pray, they lost contact. Then, Anna's telephone rang. It was Deborah, calling from California with news. "I want to tell you something! I became a believer!" she said. "And I remembered our Bible studies so often, thinking and reading through the notes." Now Anna and Deborah regularly call each other and pray together. Deborah is planning to start a group with two Jewish women who are interested in Bible study.
The Word is Getting Around
Dov,* a young Russian Jewish cab driver picked up staff member Joseph Ryan and his wife, Sarah, from the airport. When Joseph mentioned Chosen People Ministries, Dov began talking about a building in Brooklyn that he recently walked past—it turned out to be our new Charles Feinberg Messianic Center! Joseph began explaining to him that Charles Feinberg was a prominent Jewish believer in Jesus. Surprisingly, Dov interrupted, "I know. I googled him."
Joseph says, "I was amazed! In all of Brooklyn, what are the chances this Jewish taxi driver walked past our building, was interested enough to google it, and then had us in his cab!" Please pray that Dov would be receptive to meeting with Joseph in person when he calls to follow up.
A Health Emergency and a Faith Decision in Israel – All in One Afternoon
Brian S., who ministers at Chosen People Ministries' Food Distribution Center in Netanya, knows how to keep a cool head. While waiting to be served there, one of the recipients passed out, possibly having a heart attack. Brian began emergency assistance and by God's grace, one of the others waiting for assistance happened to be a retired doctor who also helped, as they waited for an ambulance. Brian reports, "Praise the Lord, the ambulance took him away alive as our team prayed health and healing over him! All the more exciting, in the same hour, one of our recipients, a Jewish immigrant woman, asked us for prayer. At the end of our visit, she received Yeshua (Jesus) as her Messiah. God is good!"
Isaiah 53 Israel Outreach Update
Over 100 copies of the Hebrew version of Isaiah 53 Explained have been sent out across Israel so far—
mostly to Jewish seekers! People from all walks of life are ordering the book, from religious Jewish people to the very secular. Additionally, people are visiting our Isaiah 53 website and over 100,000 Hebrew speakers watched the testimony video for more than five minutes…this is remarkable! Our staff member Gabi G. is in continual communication with three Israelis in particular who continue to ask him questions about Messiah as they are reading through Isaiah 53 Explained. Please pray for the opportunities for one-on-one visits with those who are searching. Other Israelis who have ordered Isaiah 53 Explained are already followers of Messiah Jesus wanting to grow in their faith and/or share the book with unbelieving friends.
We also sent out hundreds of books to people in our Spanish-language Isaiah 53 Campaign in Argentina…it is tremendously exciting to see God at work. We are following up on the names from both the Hebrew and Spanish campaigns. We will be continuing these online campaigns and turning our eyes towards the great state of Texas in the fall. Please pray that the Lord would open the eyes of 100,000 Jewish people in Texas!
