Hygiene Bleach -Removes Stains Fast!

An excellent billboard campaign was produced by Mcann Bangkok few years back. I’m surprised it hasn’t surfaced our blog earlier. As can be seen from example photographs below, advertised color bleach removes stains pretty fast! From a distance, it appears there is a stain on the clothes, but as one comes closer, the stain magically disappears.
Fortunately, this optical illusion effect can be easily reproduced online. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Check the thumbnail of the stained vest on your right: the stain is obvious, there is no point to argue about that. Further away you move from your monitor, the stain becomes more obvious.
2. On the other hand, if you approached it real close, the stain disappears. Higher res photo below might serve as better example than the thumbnail.
What I’ve found even more astonishing is that you don’t need to move your ass of the chair at all for this effect to work – simply concentrate on the stain for a while, and it will immediately vanish! Now how about that for an illusion! I think the effect in place is the same one Ariel used throughout their stain-remover campaign – it’s called Troxler’s Fading . Few more similar examples can be found inside our #color_adapting category!
To show the product’s efficacy, we created these Ads and placed them around the moving walkways and general walkways. The stains were created using visual illusion. Consumers can see the stains from a distance but when they come closer these stains will magically disappear. As they come closer, they can read the message “Hygiene Color Bleach. Removes Stains Fast.” – McCann Worldgroup

My 11year old son's second project

Last week, I asked my son, Ben, if he wanted to learn how to make a pen. He stopped playing his video game, looked up at me, thought a second and said, “sure!”.
We went out to the shop. He has never used any of the tools in the shop before so he was a little nervous. I gave him a slimline pen kit, he picked out the wood. I showed him how to measure and mark the blank, he cut it on my scroll saw (I dont have a band saw yet.). I showed him how to use the drill press, he drilled his blanks. After gluing the tubes in the blanks, I mounted the blanks to the mandrel, and gave a 10 second demo using a roughing gouge. He turned both blanks round. Then I showed him the parting tool and skew. He used both of those, and then the finishing tool. Sanded from 150-600 and finished off with 3 coats of Hut friction polish.
His whole goal was to make a wand pen (he is a fan of wizards and magic). He thinks this captured that pretty well. Got a text from him yesterday after school. Two teachers want to buy pens from him and none of his friends believe that he made the pen. They all think he bought it!
I’ll have to make a video of him turning so he can prove them wrong. I’ve never seen him more excited for something!
The funny thing is, my wife and I have been talking about him getting a little job to make some extra cash like a paper route or something. He wants to make and sell pens!!
I have never been more proud as a father.
