'Dividing and sharing', a text I wrote in 2009, connects some of the things I was talking about
http://snelting.domainepublic.net/texts/divide_share.pdf (written for a book called 'Designing universal knowledge, by the way ;-)). A lot has happened on the web since, but you'll get the idea.

The Internet of Things
"Are you ready? We believe the "winning solution" to making the most open, inclusive and innovative Internet of Things is to transcend the short-term opposition between social innovation and security by finding a way to combine these two necessities in a broader common perspective. We do a SWOT analysis to see if you are ready for IOT and if so on what level you should focus."

Translation
"Most interesting is the admission by the editors that some texts could not be integrated because of the "failure" of their translations. In one case, a leading contemporary Hindi writer's dialect, using earthy, lewd diction, was considered untranslatable into standard English. A story by a leading Urdu writer was left out "because of disagreements over the translation". Unfortunately there is no additional information given concerning these failures.
Attention to the specificity of the source languages of their texts is also reflected in another failure recounted by the editors. They had at first intended to reproduce through transliteration the specific pronunciation of Indian words as they existed in their original languages. The idea was to re-anchor these terms within the regional languages, thus respecting their various origins. In the end the visual result of this effort was considered excessively foreignizing and confusing. Recognizing that the
tradition they were most wary of reproducing was the erudite distancing of the Orientalist gaze, the editors chose to abandon this project. The same decision underlay the decision to italicize an Indian-language word the first time a reader meets it, but not later. "What we had gained as a result of all this was a 'reader-friendly' page that did not look like an Orientalist text. What we had lost–and we are sad about it–was the variety of the regional languages".
The sometimes irreconcilable conflict between ideological concerns and the demands of successful transmission is highlighted in this discussion. A desire to respect cultural specificity comes up against the need to take these Indian texts out of the Orientalist tradition and reframe them within the new internationalism of women’s writing."

IMPOSITION
Konica Minolta was formed by a merger between Konica (photographic film) and Minolta (cameras)
Konica Minolta uses a "Globe Mark" logo that is similar, however not identical to the logo of the former Minolta company. It also uses the same corporate slogan as the former Minolta company - "The Essentials of Imaging".
On January 19, 2006 the company announced that it was quitting the camera business due to high financial losses. SLR camera service operations were handed over to Sony starting on March 31, 2006 and Sony has continued development of cameras that are compatible with Minolta autofocus lenses. Originally, in the negotiations, Konica Minolta wanted a cooperation with Sony in camera equipment production rather than a sell-out deal, but Sony vehemently refused saying that it would either acquire everything or leave everything that has to do with the camera equipment sector of KM. Subsequently, Konica Minolta withdrew from the photo business on September 30, 2006. 3,700 employees were laid off.
Konica Minolta closed down their photo imaging division in March 2007. The color film, color paper, photo chemical and digital mini-lab machine divisions have ceased operations. Dai Nippon Printing purchased Konica's Odawara factory, with plans to continue to produce paper under Dai Nippon's brand. Seapac acquired the Konica chemical factory.

Folding endurance, folding strength (vouwgetal): It is important to take into consideration the grain direction to which the product is being folded; the endurance of the fold becomes greater against the grain because it performs a stiffer hold, which will less likely cause it stress if it were along the grain.

Print A Booklet In 27 Easy Steps
*Choose a text that is available under an open license (or not)
*Download the text to your harddisk in .pdf format or copy the text into a text editor
*If you have downloaded a .pdf file, you need to convert the .pdf to a plain text file using the commandline:
*~$ pdftotext infile.pdf
*Clean up the file as much as possible (remove unneccessary white lines, check whether any other corrections need to be made) in a text editor and save the document as .txt
*Open Scribus and start a new document
*Import the .txt file in the Automatic Text Frame and do the necessary lay-out; add page numbers etc.
*Remove all empty pages so that you end up with a multiple of 4 pages (either 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 or 48 pages).
*Save / export the document as .pdf
*Using the commandline, convert the pdf file to postscript:
*~$ pdftops -paper match infile.pdf outfile.ps
*Rearrange the pages so that when printed and folded, each page ends up in the right place (when your booklet has 8 pages, page 1 should be placed opposite of page 8, page 2 opposite of 7 and 4 opposite of 5).
*~$ psbook -infile.ps outfile.ps
*Arrange the A5 pages next to each other on one A3 sheet (-4 refers to the amount of pages on the A4):
*~$ psnup -2 -PA5 infile.ps outfile.ps
* Convert the document back to .pdf format (This seems a redundant step, but without it I had problems with placing, so …)
*~$ ps2pdf infile.ps outfile.pdf
*Also use the commandline to print first the even pages (myprinter is the name of your printer, n is the amount of copies)
*~$ lpr -P 'Brother_HL-2240D_series' -o page-set=even -#1 infile.pdf
*When the even pages are printed, Put the pages upside down back in the printer
*Now print the odd pages
*~$ lpr -P 'Brother_HL-2240D_series' -o page-set=odd -#1 infile.pdf
*Fold the pages from A4 to A5
*Fold the stack back open and place it under the sewing maching with the cover facing you.
*Stitch a seam right over the middle
*Fold the booklet

Photocopier
A bright lamp illuminates the original document, and the white areas of the original document reflect the light onto the surface of the photoconductive drum.
The areas of the drum that are exposed to light become conductive and therefore discharge to the ground. The area of the drum not exposed to light (those areas that correspond to black portions of the original document) remain negatively charged. What remains is the electrostatic latent image.
Laserprinter
In a laser or LED printer, modulated light [= laser] is projected onto the drum surface to create the latent image.
The areas of the drum that are exposed to light become conductive and therefore discharge to the ground. The area of the drum not exposed to light (those areas that correspond to black portions of the original document) remain negatively charged. What remains is the electrostatic latent image.
This design has several advantages, such as automatic image quality enhancement and the ability to "build jobs" (that is, to scan page images independently of the process of printing them = memory).
An advantage of digital copier technology is "automatic digital collation."
When copying a set of 24 pages 10 times, a digital copier scans each page only once, then uses the stored information to produce 10 sets. In an analog copier, either each page is copied 24 times (a total of 240 reproductions), making one set at a time, or 10 separate output trays are used for each of the 10 sets.
