Baron says that grade school children, college students, and American citizens who read news about their communities have a deeper comprehension of subjects when experienced in print. When we read print, we are more relaxed, patiently ready to absorb what we see and recall it better. “People have rediscovered the value of reading from paper. They have rediscovered the value of having something physical in their hands that will not fade or disappear in seconds,” Managing Director of Print Power Europe Ulbe Jelluma says. Your connection to a brand, a cherished memory, or a book your read is deeper when it is experienced in print.

Locals call the wave Teahupo’o, which loosely translates to “wall of skulls.” It has fascinated and terrified the world’s elite ocean athletes since it was first surfed in the 1980s. In the coming days, Teahupo’o (pronounced “cho-poo”), just offshore of its namesake fishing village on the island’s lush coast, will become the site of the second Olympic surfing tournament. The competition was held at the closest reliable surf break to the city, Shidashita Beach. Waves are created by wind, and global winds generally blow toward west-facing beaches, pushing big waves onto them. Unlike the sports with fixed dates, the surfing competition is set to run for four days between July 27 and Aug. 5, whenever conditions look most promising.
