Collectable Card of Gino Bartali

Gino Bartali · Digital Kenyon (Kenyon College) · 2012

Front: Illustration of Gino Bartali in yellow shirt titled, "Sport Kings Gum."Back: Information printed in green. Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash: Gino Bartali was a much beloved champion cyclist who had won the Giro d'Italia three times and the Tour de France on two occasions. A devout Catholic with strong moral convictions, he risked his life to help Jews living in Italy. A messenger in the military, he transported identity documents for Jews, as well as distributed money from a Swiss bank account to Jews in hiding in Florence. He hid his friend Giacomo Goldenberg and his family in his own apartment, and then in a nearby basement. For his selfless heroism he was declared Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem in Israel in 2010.

The New Jewelers: Desirable Collectable Contemporary

Olivier Dupon · 2012

In this beautiful new book, Olivier Dupon introduces the finest modern jewelers practising today. Featuring 108 both up-and-coming and established designers, the book is divided into nine categories inspired not by traditional jewelry typology, but by style and look. Rough stones appear with exquisitely faceted gems; organic forms vie with geometric structures; feathers and leather take their place next to platinum and diamonds. The book showcases fine jewelry, fashion jewelry, luxe jewelry, conceptual jewelry, and much much more. Over 800 mainly colour photographs display the jewelry alongside portraits of the designers at work, shots of sketches and works in progress, studios and boutiques. Complete with short, informative profiles and useful contact details for the designers, as well as a listing of recommended shops, this publication offers a wealth of inspiring material and is a must for any aficionado of jewelry, design or craft.

Productivity Orientation and the Consumption of Collectable Experiences

Anat Keinan, Ran Kivetz · Journal of Consumer Research · 2010

Abstract This research examines why consumers desire unusual and novel consumption experiences and voluntarily choose leisure activities, vacations, and celebrations that are predicted to be less pleasurable. For example, consumers sometimes choose to stay at freezing ice hotels and to eat at restaurants serving peculiar foods, such as bacon ice cream. We propose that such choices are driven by consumers' continual striving to use time productively, make progress, and reach accomplishments (i.e., a productivity orientation). We argue that choices of collectable (unusual, novel, extreme) experiences lead consumers to feel productive even when they are engaging in leisure activities as they “check off” items on an “experiential check list” and build their “experiential CV.” A series of laboratory and field studies shows that the consumption of collectable experiences is driven and intensified by a (chronic or situational) productivity orientation.

Magnetically Collectable Nanocellulose-Coated Polymer\nMicroparticles by Emulsion Templating

Shuji Fujisawa (1673389), Yuto Kaku (8378178), Satoshi Kimura (158086) et al. · Figshare · 2020

Magnetic\nnano/microparticles offer potential benefits for environmental\napplications such as water purification. However, achieving functional\nand stable surfaces remains a critical challenge for magnetic particle\ndesign. Nanocellulose, a naturally occurring nanofiber, is a promising\nsurface material candidate, owing to its ease of functionalization\nand chemical stability. Here, we developed a magnetically collectable\nnanocellulose-coated polymer microparticle synthesis method, based\non Pickering emulsion templating. The average diameter of the core/shell\nmicroparticles was 2.7 μm, and they were well dispersed in water,\nowing to the coverage with surface-carboxylated nanocelluloses. Most\nmagnetic Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles with a 30 nm diameter\nwere encapsulated in the microparticles and enriched at the CNF/polymer\ninterfaces. The nanocellulose shell showed high loading of cationic\ndye molecules. In addition, the nanocellulose-coated microparticles\ncould be recovered even after the dye loading by exposing the aqueous\ndispersion to a magnetic field.
