I am always on the hunt for new and interesting art, and especially art through different mediums. Of course I love abstract paintings on canvas, but I also love mixed media, charcoal, and textiles, especially because they add an element of interest to a space. So when I saw the textile art of Paule Marrot available on Natural Curiosities, I was immediately drawn in by her bold use of color and the chinoiserie feel to many of her pieces. Paule Marrot was a French artist who created most of her textile works from the 1920s-1950s. Marrot's bold use of flowers, color and patterns reflect a compositionally modernist style classically associated with the Art Deco movement. You might be familiar with the Feathers piece. I have seen it featured in a few highly publicized rooms (and I absolutely LOVE it!):
Here are a few more favorites of mine:
They are all just so fun. I could see them working equally well in a modern living room or a kids play room. In fact, I've been debating on whether or not I want to purchase Feathers for our house. I feel like it is a bit overdone at this point, but it's so beautiful and would be perfect for over the couch. Each print is ~$1000 framed or ~$400 unframed. I believe Natural Curiosities is to the trade only, so if you want to purchase a piece, email me and I can get it ordered for you!
Seen any interesting art lately?

Bangalore: Australia skipper Adam Gilchrist won the toss and elected to bat against India in the first of seven-match ODI series here at Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.
India has decided to play four pacemen, on a unusual green strip here, with Zaheer Khan, Sreesanth, Irfan Pathan and RP Singh making it to playing eleven.
Off-spinner Harbhajan sits out paving way for Ramesh Powar. Local lad Robin Uthappa also misses out.
Australia miss the services of regular skipper Ricky Ponting, left-handed batsman Mike Hussey and all-rounder Shane Watson due to injuries
Zaheer, Sreesanth strike early: India new-ball attack Zaheer Khan and Sreesanth taking the advantage of the seamer-friendly wicket delivered early blows on Aussies. Zaheer drew the first blood when Gilly's square-cut flew to the point. Yuvraj stationed there held on a stunner of a catch.
Sreesanth in his second over sent Brad Hodge packing. Sree after bowling a wayward deliveries in his first over bowled a peach of a delivery that was fuller in length and swung back to deceive Hodge for a plumb LBW.
Papps Clarke joined Hayden and they both added 60 runs for the third wicket stand in just under 12 overs before Srresanth coming round the wicket in his second spell disturbed the latter's woodwork with a delivery pitched outside the off and angled in. Hayden made a brisk 34 studded with five boundary hits and a towering six over fine-leg.
Three overs later Sreesanth struck again removing Symonds with a slower one that beat Symmo all ends for a clear LBW decision. Haddin joined Clarke and revived the tottering Aussie innings. They milked 144 runs for the fifth wicket stand before Yuvi lured Haddin out of the crease with a flighted delivery for a easy stumping. The New South Wales duo batted sensibly rotating the strike regularly and scoring a odd boundary. Clarke who enjoyed a life when on 31 off Pathan, reached his half-century in just 66 balls. Both the batsmen targetted off-spinner Powar and RP.
India: Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni (capt-wk), Irfan Pathan, Ramesh Powar, Rudra Pratap Singh, Zaheer Khan and S Sreesanth. 12th man: Dinesh Karthik.
Australia: Adam Gilchrist (capt-wk), Matthew Hayden, Michael Clarke, Andrew Symonds, Brad Haddin, Brad Hodge, Brad Hogg, Stuart Clark, James Hopes, Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson.
Match Officials: Umpires: Steve Bucknor (WI) Sunil Shastri (Ind) and Third Umpire: M Saheba (Ind). Match Referee: Chris Broad (Eng).

Subliminal: the new unconscious
Leonard Mlodinow is a theoretical physicist who's turned his mind to the unconscious. Not the unconscious mind of Freudian fame which was examined through psychoanalysis in the 19th century – but a new science of the unconscious made possible by technologies which reveal the physiology of our brains. We discuss the hidden forces that rule our behaviour.
Lynne Malcolm: You're with All in the Mind, I'm Lynne Malcolm and today we explore the subliminal, the new science of the unconscious mind and how it rules our behaviour.
Leonard Mlodinow: These are processes that are automatic that you do without any effort, you do not have to try, but you also have little no control over and you're not aware of. So those are the basic traits of what we call unconscious processing or unconscious thinking.
Lynne Malcolm: Leonard Mlodinow lectures at the Californian Institute of Technology in the United States. As a theoretical physicist he's done pioneering work in quantum mechanics and theory and he's worked with Stephen Hawking on a couple of books including a rewrite of Hawking's original work called A Briefer History of Time. But now he's turned his scientific mind to the unconscious.
His latest book is titled Subliminal: how your Unconscious Mind Rules your Behaviour.
Leonard Mlodinow: I called the book Subliminal because there was a hoax in the 1950s that really introduced that term into our culture and that occurred when a fellow named James Vicary who was a marketing consultant claimed that he could make people buy more Coca Cola and popcorn at a movie theatre by flashing very briefly the words 'eat popcorn and drink Coca Cola' while they were watching a movie. But he flashed it so briefly he said that they didn't consciously perceive what they were seeing and yet they were manipulated into making those purchases.
And that turned out to be a hoax. But the truth is that there are many subliminal effects that occur in our environment every day that do have just that kind of effect on us and we're not aware of them. And the reason is that our unconscious mind, even as our conscious mind is taking in various data visual, and auditory data, and information about our surroundings, our unconscious mind is also taking in data and it's feeding so to speak into our conscious deliberations without our knowing it and affecting the way we behave and perceive the world.
So by subliminal I mean things that occur in our world that are below the threshold of consciousness but do have a psychological effect on us.
Lynne Malcolm: And we'll hear in this program how our unconscious mind shapes all our experiences and judgements, including what we buy, how we see and taste, who we're attracted to and even how we respond to being touched.
But the unconscious that we're talking about today is not the Freudian notion of the 19th century, that shadowy basement of the mind with its repressed feelings and hidden phobias which was examined through psychoanalysis.
The new concept of the unconscious has been transformed by the explosion of knowledge we have about our brains made available through increasingly sophisticated technologies.
Leonard Mlodinow: The modern idea of the unconscious which has really only come to fruition in the last 10 to 15 years is that the unconscious mind is not hidden from us for motivational reasons and cannot be revealed by the traditional methods of introspection or therapy but rather it is hidden from us because it occurs in certain modules of your brain that are inherently inaccessible to your conscious mind. And the reasons scientists have come to this new concept of the unconscious is that in the mid 1990s a technology became available called FMRI or functional magnetic resonance imaging which is a way – it's like the MRI your doctor uses to look at your organs except if you do it on the brain it not only shows you the anatomical features of the brain but it also tells you what parts of the brain are operating at any given time.
And so now we can connect the behavioural studies of psychology to real structures in the brain and get a much clearer, more concrete idea of what's going on.
Lynne Malcolm: Is it possible to identify the actual physical place in the brain where the unconscious mind is?
Leonard Mlodinow: It is but the unconscious mind is not a monolith, we call it the unconscious mind but the unconscious mind is a collection of many, many different independent or sometimes inter-dependent modules. It's not that we can say here's a spot in the brain, here's the unconscious, here's a spot in the brain here's the conscious. Really there are different processes around the brain that we are aware of and that take effort and are conscious and there are other parts of the brain that produce processes that we're not aware of that are unconscious and it's when you look at it anatomically it's not quite where you can draw a map and say the red parts are this and the blue parts are that.
Lynne Malcolm: So this is very different to our sort of old understanding, the Freudian understanding of the conscious mind. Just explain how it differs from that?
Leonard Mlodinow: Well the unconscious that scientists talk about today is an unconscious that we have in our mind that has developed through evolution because it has what they call adaptive advantages for us. The easiest way to understand it is through our sensory perception, think about your vision – when you look at the world what you perceive is a very clear picture, a 3 dimensional picture of what's out there and you think that that's real. And whether or not it's real I don't know but I'll tell you what your eye is actually picking up. What your eye is picking up is a very fuzzy pixelated image, one that you would never accept if it showed up on your TV screen and it even has a black hole near its centre. And it's only clear in a very small region outside of that, it's extremely fuzzy.
And if you went through the world having to take that image and decipher it to figure out what you were really looking at we would all have been eaten by tigers, or never caught the rabbit for dinner that we needed when we lived in the wild or whatever it was; because we've taken quite a while to decode what's actually going on. But the gift of evolution is that our brain has unconscious modules in it that do this processing for us almost instantaneously and with no effort, with no requirement of will power and automatically it fills in the image and it massages the image and presents to us what seems to be a clear picture of reality.
And it turns out that people are extremely social animals, our species really relies on social interactions to survive or at least it did while we were evolving in the wild and so we have similar unconscious processes that give us a social picture that take information beyond what's actually the data that's out there and factor that in and present to us a filled in, clear looking image that we perceive as being real but is really constructed by our brain just as the visual image is constructed. And that leads to certain kinds of illusions called cognitive illusions that are really the analogies of optical illusions but I really want to stress that the unconscious mind is a gift, even though it is interesting in studying how it works, to examine the illusions, it really works very well and for the most part the illusions are not important. And what is important is that it allows us to function smoothly and quickly whether it's we are travelling through the physical world or the social world.
Lynne Malcolm: In his research into the ways the unconscious mind influences our behaviour Leonard Mlodinow found that there are many social cues that determine how we respond to each other. Cues which we are barely aware of.
Leonard Mlodinow: One of the ways we interact with other human beings and form social bonds is through touch and probably most of us are not aware of the extreme importance of touch. But in all primates touching is a way of forming bonds and social alliances and of understanding and trusting and co-operating with other people. And in humans it's a little bit more subtle, we don't spend hours grooming each other but let me tell you about a study that scientists did in France.
They asked three handsome Frenchmen to stand on a street corner and spend a few days over a nice sunny weekend standing on a street corner and propositioning every single young woman who walked by. Sounds like a good weekend job. And they all propositioned them using the identical words and they were all told to when they spoke those words to give half of the women a light quarter to half second touch on either the forearm or the shoulder and to the other half just to speak to them and not touch them. And they studied the results to see if this touch would have an influence on how much success the men had, the idea being that if touch really does increase our sense of co-operation and trust that they would have a higher success rate with these little light touches. And indeed it doubled their success rate so they got about 10% of the women agreed to give their phone numbers without the touch but 20% agreed with the touch.
And in exit interviews when the women were intercepted after this was done a few of them even remembered having been touched. So this is really a subtle thing and it has a unconscious effect, it feeds into our conscious perception of the person or a conscious calculation and that's been demonstrated in many other context as well. When waiters for instance touch their customers their tips in one study increase from 14% to 17½%, when people stood in a crowded shopping mall trying to get shoppers to take 5 minutes off to answer a survey half of them agreed to do that without a touch but three quarters when they were touched. And so on, this has been replicated in many areas so when we're doing our mental calculations of what's going on around us and perceiving the world this feeling of touch feeds into our calculation usually without our knowing it.
Lynne Malcolm: As we heard earlier Leonard Mlodinow's latest book on the unconscious mind is called Subliminal after James Vicary's hoax of the 1950s which claimed that you could make people buy products by delivering imperceptible images or messages in advertisements. Even though that claim has been disproven, there are still many ways in which we can be manipulated whilst shopping.
Leonard Mlodinow: Imagine walking through the grocery store aisle looking for wine and they might have French and German wine. Well if there was a store here in England who had French and German wine mixed together in the aisle the wines were of comparable quality and price. And as shoppers walked down the aisle they are consciously assessing certain data, you know the price, the type of grape, the origin of the wine etc. what they're having for dinner. But as they are doing that their unconscious mind is also feeding in its data and what the researchers did in this case was they asked the shop keepers to play on alternate days either German music or French music quietly in that aisle. And what they found was that on the days when the German music was played two thirds of the shoppers bought German wine and on the days when the French music was played two thirds of them bought French wine. And in exit interviews when they were asked whether they had heard any music most of them didn't remember, hadn't registered it and they certainly didn't believe that they were buying the wine based on the music.
But in truth as they are factoring in all the data that the conscious mind had absorbed this mood or emotion that was stimulated by the music through their unconscious was feeding into their decision. So in many aspects of our social perception our consumer behaviour or financial decisions, our unconscious mind is feeding data into our conscious mind and building up a picture for our conscious mind that seems to be real and based on only what we consciously perceive but really is based on much deeper thinking than that.
Lynne Malcolm: So the implications there, the implications in the marketing world and the advertising world are quite enormous aren't they, they are very powerful?
Leonard Mlodinow: They are, it's ironic because the original subliminal hoax by James Vicary where he claimed that he could persuade people with very quick flashes of images to buy something was a marketing based claim and it wasn't really true but it turns out that marketers can indeed use these new results of neuroscience to persuade us to do things. And there's a whole field now that's grown up that's emerged since the 1990s when the new technologies for imaging the brain became available. And that field is called neuro-marketing which applies the new lessons of neuroscience specifically to marketing and to ways of subliminally persuading people to buy what the advertisers want them to buy.
Lynne Malcolm: Does that area concern you?
Leonard Mlodinow: It does and I'm not happy to see that kind applied science, science is knowledge and it can always be used in different respects for different purposes. But on the other hand I know we live in a capitalist society and I don't think that marketing and advertising should be banned but these subtle ways of influencing people are a little scary.
Lynne Malcolm: And by manipulating our environment and the context we can even be influenced to perceive taste differently. Leonard Mlodinow gives the example known as the Pepsi paradox.
Leonard Mlodinow: One of the ways that marketers have always tried to influence us at least for the past few decades is not to really give a hard sell with regard to their product but to give a soft sell to try and make their brand feel one way or another for us. Either to feel sophisticated, or to give us the warm fuzzies, or to have a certain association in our mind. And Coke has done a very good job with that, they've had advertisements that are always very happy, have a Coke and a smile, or there's people singing about them, how many in the world and what not and this apparently has had a huge effect on the taste of Coca Cola that people perceive.
So the unconscious mind helps you build perceptions of the world that go beyond the actual data that your brain is recording and incorporates things like your emotions, your expectations, your desires and by feeding into the brand perception Coca Cola has been able to change the way people taste the drink. And here's the science that shows that – it's called the Pepsi paradox because when people drink Coke and Pepsi blindly, without knowing what brand they're drinking, they tend to prefer Pepsi but when they know what brand they're drinking they tend to prefer Coke. So the obvious culprit there is the effect of the advertising although when you ask people after they've tasted these drinks they certainly don't claim that they taste better because of the ads.
And then scientists have gone a step further now that we have the FMRI brain imaging technology and they actually look at people's brains and they see that when they are drinking Coke and know it's Coke a certain part of their brain called the VMPC or ventral medial prefrontal cortex lights up which is thought to be the seat of the warm and fuzzy feelings you get from brands. And they can see that when they're tasting Coke and know it's Coke that's lighting up and it's feeding into their perception of the taste. And really the smoking gun is this, scientists found people who had brain damage there and therefore they can't really have the power of the brain that appreciates all these wonderful ads that Coke has been spending billions of dollars on and they give them the Pepsi and Coke blindly they prefer Pepsi and when they tell them what the brands are and they have them taste it they still prefer Pepsi. And when they taste the drinks in the FMRI machine their brand appreciation module does not light up because that part of the brain in those people has been damaged. And so this really is pretty strong evidence that the reason you taste Coke, that Coke tastes better to people who prefer Coke is largely due to these ads.
Lynne Malcolm: You're listening to All in the Mind on ABC RN, Radio Australia and online. I'm Lynne Malcolm and I'm speaking with theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow. He's author of the book Subliminal: How your unconscious Mind Rules your Behaviour and we're exploring the new science of the unconscious mind.
Just to demonstrate how the unconscious mind influences our behaviour in the way we relate to each other your story about your mother and how she harassed your room mate because she was worried about you – tell us about that.
Leonard Mlodinow: Well thanks for broadcasting that all over the Australia. Well my parents went through the Holocaust and my mother was 16 at the time, her own mother had just died actually of very painful stomach cancer and then shortly after that the Nazis invaded and took away and murdered her father and sent her and her sister off to a labour camp where her sister died of typhus. And so within a period of a few months she really lost everything and of course after the war she was liberated and met my father and they had a family in the States and I'm the kid. But these events that happened at a very young age formed a context for the way she interpreted the social world throughout her life and she's still alive, she's 90 now and every time she looked at events she looked at them through this strange lens and in the case that you mention, in the case of the time I didn't call her when I was in graduate school, I used to call her every Thursday night and we'd chat and one Thursday night I didn't call her because I was out on a date. So I think it was 8 o'clock I was supposed to call, if 8 o'clock passed, 8.15, 8.30 she calls my apartment and gets my roommate and my roommate tells her that I'm not home. And then she calls back a bit later and she keeps repeatedly calling and then starts accusing my roommate of hiding the fact that I must be injured and in a hospital somewhere in an emergency room and that's why I can't call.
And then eventually she started accusing my roommate of hiding my death and to my mother this was a very natural conclusion to jump to, I always felt that it was a bit embarrassing that my mother would think it's more likely that I'd been killed than out on a date but to her that was the world. She lived with a constant context that everything that she knows and loves and values can be taken away suddenly with no rhyme or reason and she continued to live her whole life with that kind of context that her unconscious mind would automatically be put in as she was building pictures of the world.
Lynne Malcolm: So the implication is that our unconscious minds are formed by the sum total of our experiences the whole of our lives.
Leonard Mlodinow: Right, the whole of our lives our emotions and feelings. We have emotions for a reason, for instance imagine pain, you have pain so that if you touch something that's hot, or if you slam your hand with a hammer you will pull your hand away and not do that again. It's a way to protect your physical body and we have emotions for similar reasons to either make us avoid or attract us to things that we either should or shouldn't be doing from a point of view of evolution. And so our unconscious mind is keeping track of that and it's feeding in these emotions as we're making our supposedly objective decisions and we really can't avoid having that fed into us.
One good example of that is in the stock market, people who are stock market traders on Wall Street are people who are extremely intelligent, spend hours on end studying various industries and companies and factoring it in and going on to make presumably objective rational financial decisions. Well they are also people affected by their emotions and their moods and so psychologists know that people are in a better mood when it's very bright and sunny and not such a good mood on overcast days so they look at 20 years of stock market data and they also looked at the weather data and they pulled out the days that were completely sunny and they pulled out the days that were completely overcast and raining in New York City. And they calculated an annualised net return of stocks on sunny days versus stocks on rainy overcast days and they found out that on the rainy overcast days the New York stock exchange went up in those years on average about 7% and on completely sunny days it went up 24%. So even these very sophisticated quantitative traders were making decisions that unbeknown to them were being greatly influenced by their mood that came from the weather.
Lynne Malcolm: Well if you think that's a bit unnerving take a moment to consider how our unconscious mind may influence who we're attracted to. Leonard Mlodinow suggests that some of our unconscious motivations aren't always particularly romantic. In fact sometimes they can be fairly mundane.
Leonard Mlodinow: Here are some of the factors that we take in; of course we take in their facial appearance that has a very important effect on us. Also their body language, their facial expressions it helps us understand their emotions, whether they are attracted to us or not, also whether they're angry with us or happy with us. We analyse their voices unconsciously, when we talk to somebody whether or not we realise we are conscious of whether they have a sexy voice, or unattractive voice, it has an effect on us either way. And when we factor all these elements in, when we perceive someone we make our bigger picture of who that person is.
One of the things your unconscious mind does for you and it's a great gift is it gives you extra courage to view the outer world and it does that by giving you an extra special view of yourself. Of course 50% of people are above average but most people think they're above average, it's really astounding. In a survey for instance of college professors 94% of them said they did above average work. And our view of ourselves in general tends to be an optimistic view of our abilities, of our personal qualities and our view of the barriers that we encounter in life also tends to be overly optimistic. We tend to automatically underrate challenges that are before us and overrate our ability to overcome them. And this again is not done consciously but it works that way because our unconscious mind is feeding these certain kinds of data into our thinking that tend to make us be overly optimistic.
And that's for good reason because otherwise when we face such barriers when we could be daunted and when we lived in the wild it was often very hard to find food, or people could have been very cold or too warm and shelter was difficult and rather than curling up in a ball and dying, nature wanted us to keep fighting on and we have to keep fighting on in today's world too if we're starving, or a small business, or we have a medical issue and this unconscious tendency to have an overly optimistic view of ourselves feeds into that. And one aspect of that is that we tend to like things that remind us of ourselves such as our name.
So the study that you refer to the scientists did a study about people who marry other people with different names versus the same name, to do that they gathered records on people in the south eastern United States who had I think six different names, very common names, Jones, Smith, Johnson – the scientists looked at marriage records and they counted how many Jones's married Smith's, Johnsons, Browns and other Jones's and how many Johnsons married Smiths, Browns etc and other Johnsons and so on and they made a little matrix of who's marrying whom in those states. And they found surprisingly that a significantly larger proportion of Johnsons married other Johnsons than those with other names and Smiths married other Smiths etc.
This doesn't mean that they're all marrying people with the same name, it just means that the Johnsons might marry 4% Smiths but they'll marry 8% of the time with Johnsons or something like that. So there was a statistical bubble there where you could actually see how people are being attracted to other people with the same name. This doesn't mean that you can see someone with the same name and you consciously are attracted or that you even unconsciously automatically want to marry them it just means that there's enough of an effect there to be statistically visible. One of the things your unconscious mind is feeding into your conscious decision making about marrying a person or into your feelings about that person is the name.
Lynne Malcolm: Does our unconscious mind inevitably rule us?
Leonard Mlodinow: Well there are ways of overcoming these unconscious effects so the greatest kinds of knowledge a person can have is self-knowledge and since the unconscious processes are inherently inaccessible to yourself we can rely on scientists who do these kinds of experiments to expose what's going on and then we can learn about it. So in the course of writing the book I've changed the way I interact with other people or the way I look at the world and I take into account much more the possibilities that unconscious processes are affecting things and I don't look at life as superficially as I used to. If I'm interacting with somebody I'll take for instance not only into account our specific words and our specific interactions but I'll have a bigger picture of what is the situation, what might have just happened to them that has a lingering effect on their emotional state that's kind of bleeding over into our interaction. And once you become aware of these things you kind of automatically tend to take them into account in your daily interactions.
Lynne Malcolm: So what would you say is some of the key insights that you have since you've studied the unconscious mind?
Leonard Mlodinow: Well the first is that all of our perceptions and all of our judgements and decisions are not completely objective but are fed into by factors that we're not aware of and are based on emotions and deeper insights that our unconscious mind has. Also these unconscious insights that we have are usually helpful to us and so we shouldn't overrule our hunches and our feelings because they counteract our intellectual beliefs. And third that we're all animals like other mammals and our behaviour and our brain has evolved in a way to help us survive but fundamentally even though humans have this small amount of consciousness as a tip of the iceberg floating above a sea of the unconscious and most other animals have mainly that sea and even a smaller tip of the iceberg, we share with them a great heritage which is the unconscious mind which allows us to move around in the world and survive.
Lynne Malcolm: So what do you think the future holds in the field of studying the unconscious mind?
Leonard Mlodinow: Well as we get deeper and deeper into it we're learning better and better exactly which parts of the brain are responsible for which of these influences and how they're all interconnected. And as time goes on and our technology gets better we're going to be able to better and better localise where our feelings and thoughts and our perceptions come from and understand in a better way how the physical meat of the brain, how all those individual neurons, one hundred billion individual neurons produce what we call the human mind.

Quick question :
01 Jul 2012 7:24:12pm
Hi there AIM team,
Just wondering whether u might have uploaded the wrong podcast for this program. The current one seems to be on IQ ('are we getting smarter?') rather than on the unconscious
Thank you!

Something worth bearing in mind when discussing subliminal perception is that subliminal advertising is permitted on Australian commercial TV - so long as the frames in question occur within an advert.
I'm guessing that this would come as a surprise to many people.

Lynne, you have the wrong audio download posted with this programme. Instead of receiving an audio download about "Subliminal-The New Unconscious", I got something about IQ and a fellow named Flynn from Otago in New Zealand. Murphy is still alive and doing well it seems!
Moderator: Allan, thanks for pointing out that mistake. It has been fixed now so you can download the correct audio from the site. The program that was put there by mistake is for next week. That program about IQ and James Flynn will be available later in the week, and of course broadcast next Sunday and Monday.

Hello Everyone:
Leonard Mlodinow's view on the unconscious mind is very interesting although not new since he has already given the gist of it in "The Grand Design".
However, I have a few points to: 1) Is the unconscious mind the same as the subconscious mind?
I can hear my conscious mind is warning me not to sound pedantic here since English isn't my mother tongue; but! The subconscious mind is crying out: they can't be the same! For, unconscious mind, as Mlodinow himself has pointed out, is a state of being "not aware of".
Now, if there is something which one can't be aware of it, what possibily can motivate him/her to study it methodically? This may sounds trivial, but if one considers Mlodinow's view on materilaistic determinism, expressed in 'The Grand Design', you see that it is not! There, he says the biological process in human beings are determined by the chemistry and the laws of physics just as are the orbits of the planets.
Here too Mlodinow's view is that the unconscious mind is a "gift" developed in an evolutionary process. If that's the case, there must be another thing which brings the unconscious mind to our attention. In short, the Mlodinow's view, if not percieved through his own ideological spectrum, is just as fuzzy pixelated image with a large hole in the middle as is the visual images received by his brain.
The problem is that, if the development of human mind were to be solely determined by the evolutionary process, then a lot of things which are outside of the imediate range must not have been detectable through human intellect. For instances, the evolutionary process could not have equipped human brain with the means to deal with the subatomic particles or the quasars, just as it has not equipped human brain with the night vision.
2) The evolutionary process can't account for many geometrical shapes, for instance, a perfect circle or a square, let alone all those arithmetic calculation which comes with it. I believe subconscious mind is better term for describing hunch or intuition. It's not about being unaware but rather about doing thing authomatically.

Given that, time and time again, we have found inbetween steps to things that people have not possible by evolution alone, suggests that it is possible for evolution to create complex systems.
You state that a brain capable of understanding subatomic particles could not have arisen from evolution. However, it's possible, indeed likely, if you take a step back and look at what's really happening. All that's happening is that a person is making deductions from observed evidence, following the train of logic that those deductions lead to come to a conclusion then using that knowledge to devise a strategy to deal with that. It is simple problem solving and planning.
Let's have a look at how these do relate to our survival (and how, through experiments on other animals) we can show that they are not that unusual:
Experiences with other animals:
A chimp, that we know has never been in a similar situation, is put in a cage with a load of boxes and bananas held near the ceiling of a cage (out of reach). The chimp looks at the boxes, the bananas and thinks. It then piles the boxes on top of one another and reaches the bananas.
I refer you to:
(article The Ape of Wrath)
The skills that chimp is using are:
Theory of mind of another creature (that doesn't think like him), planning, problem solving, etc.
Those skills also suit evolution very well. Yes, lasers, high energy physics may seem divorced from survival but the ability to think abstractly about problems would have helped us in the past.
A person sees a footprint of another animal. That animal could be a quarry that would be good on the dinner table or a predator that's mean enough to challenge us. Being able to devise ways of reading footprints would have helped our predecessors a lot.
It may not seem like needing to be able to think in abstract concepts but to read a footprint well requires a great deal of abstraction and problem solving (especially as humans are creatures known to explore and expand their range of influence -- so will come across new situations all the time). For example, it takes a level of abstraction to realise how a footprint is caused and how the different properties of the ground material may change and distort a footprint.
Just as a modern day scientist has to take into account how other factors may confound their experiments, our predecessors had to take into realise that they had to take into account other factors (e.g. wind and rain) when reading a footprint. So yes, it is possible to get a creature that is capable of esoteric concepts can evolve.
You talk about geometric shapes. Aren't the sun and moon circular? Furthermore, the more we discover about the natural world, the more realise how important geometry is in nature.

Hello Francisco:
It's not me who 'state that a brain capable of understanding subatomic particles could not have arisen from evolution'. It is rather the evolutionary theory which states that.
According to the evolutionary theory, natural selection prefers certain characteristics by the way of trial and erreor: that's why it has taken so long for human species to enter the scene. This theory also states that, the natural selection only favours characteristics which are essensial for servival.
Now, one has to ask this question: how could the natural selection have determined the importance of the boson particle by the way of trial and error?
HairyHu :
03 Aug 2012 12:58:15pm
"This theory also states that, the natural selection only favours characteristics which are essensial for servival."
The above statement shows that your view of evolution is not correct. Evolution selects for advantage, not essentiality.

I enjoyed the programme.
I am not sure how scientific it is but I was reminded of an article by the business commentator Lucy Kellaway (of the Financial Times). Her article "The dull names of those who rose" (available as both a written article and an audio podcast) looks at the possible influence of a person's name and their career.

The "new" unconscious? Mldoinow offers a new concept of the unconscious that's interesting and worth exploring but I'm tired of AITM's subtle anti-Freud and anti-psychoanalysis stance.
Contemporary psychoanalysis has much to offer and has developed and reworked some of Freud's idea of the unconsious considerably. Why not have a series on contemporary psychoanalytic ideas and treatment?
Rose :
15 Aug 2012 5:07:36pm
and I cant understand the ongoing attachment to Freud. Freud contributed some useful findings (the importance of childhood experience, use of various types of "defence mechanisms" in some circumstances) but wrapped them up in some really strange interpretations and blew them up into a human theory of just about everything.
The basis of his theories are truly weird and lack any empirical evidence. It seems to be part of the post WW2 culture of hostility to technology and fascination with the irrational and sex as liberation in and of itself
For example http://www.cla.purdue.edu/english/theory/psychoanalysis/freud.html
And freud's attitudes to "hysteria" regarding women and fervent support for his friend Fliess appalling experimental treatment of Emma Eckstein (that nearly killed her) are well known
Karl :

I agree, Sally: I don't see what's "new" about this approach. The anecdote about Leonard's mother is precisely the type of thing that is most useful about Freud's legacy. This type of unconscious activity should be distinguished from the nonconscious processes discussed in relation to visual imaging etc. The former can be brought into consciousness through various types of practice and therapy, thus alleviating psychological stress, while the latter will forever remain beyond conscious awareness.

I'm aware of how the unconscious mind , UNM , affects every aspect of my life and I love it. You can play a game with yourself and question your actions and reactions, or manipulate others into reacting or agreeing with things because of the way you kept eye contact or sent an ever so slight element of sadness in your conversation . you can witness so called intelligent people living a dis functional life because they are un aware of how they have been programmed by society, it's fun. You must enjoy your work. Comments please.
Moderator: Yes I agree that considering the way our unconscious mind effects all of us is endlessly fascinating - and I'm sure there's still so much more to learn!

This book looks like a real good read rather than the junk freudian behavioural-analytics, repressed feelings & hidden phobia, cruelty empathetic so called model of medicine which fills your life w-. Sounds like a quite a transparent & logical approach to understanding us and our surroundings i think :d

Maybe there are many levels of the 'unconscious' some relatively accessible, like emotional and other processing 'functions' affected by our evolution and then there might be other cellular levels of unconsciousness affected by our origins arising from the nuclear 13 billion year old 'soup'. These basic building blocks of us might not even recognise our existence as time scales are not compatible.
Then again maybe the 'strangeness' of matter itself makes analysis of the 'unconscious' impossible.

What is the doctrine of Papal Infallibility?
Answer Papal Infallibility is a doctrine of the Catholic Church that makes the Pope -head of the Bishops- responsible for his edicts in matters of faith and morals. By …its virtue the Pope is considered to be incapable to deceive or mislead in such matters. The Catholic Church understands it as a charism enjoyed by the Pope in virtue of his office as supreme shepherd of the faithful assisted by the Holy Spirit. It is recognized as an implicit doctrine in the early Catholic Church. In its most recent Catholic Church's conciliar review, the Vatican II, the infallibility doctrine is defined and delimited as it pertains not only to the Pope, but to the bishops and councils of the Catholic Church. This doctrine has been frequently put into question or misinterpreted in form and content by outsiders of the Catholic Church. One of the most accurate definitions for the general public according to the catholic faith can be found on the web at http://www.catholic.com/library/Papal_Infallibility.asp. Copy of which is included in the following as of May 27, 2007 ---- Papal Infallibility The Catholic Church's teaching on papal infallibility is one which is generally misunderstood by those outside the Church. In particular, Fundamentalists and other "Bible Christians" often confuse the charism of papal "infallibility" with "impeccability." They imagine Catholics believe the pope cannot sin. Others, who avoid this elementary blunder, think the pope relies on some sort of amulet or magical incantation when an infallible definition is due. Given these common misapprehensions regarding the basic tenets of papal infallibility, it is necessary to explain exactly what infallibility is not. Infallibility is not the absence of sin. Nor is it a charism that belongs only to the pope. Indeed, infallibility also belongs to the body of bishops as a whole, when, in doctrinal unity with the pope, they solemnly teach a doctrine as true. We have this from Jesus himself, who promised the apostles and their successors the bishops, the magisterium of the Church: "He who hears you hears me" (Luke 10:16), and "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven" (Matt. 18:18). Vatican II's Explanation Vatican II explained the doctrine of infallibility as follows: "Although the individual bishops do not enjoy the prerogative of infallibility, they can nevertheless proclaim Christ's doctrine infallibly. This is so, even when they are dispersed around the world, provided that while maintaining the bond of unity among themselves and with Peter's successor, and while teaching authentically on a matter of faith or morals, they concur in a single viewpoint as the one which must be held conclusively. This authority is even more clearly verified when, gathered together in an ecumenical council, they are teachers and judges of faith and morals for the universal Church. Their definitions must then be adhered to with the submission of faith" (Lumen Gentium 25). Infallibility belongs in a special way to the pope as head of the bishops (Matt. 16:17-19; John 21:15-17). As Vatican II remarked, it is a charism the pope "enjoys in virtue of his office, when, as the supreme shepherd and teacher of all the faithful, who confirms his brethren in their faith (Luke 22:32), he proclaims by a definitive act some doctrine of faith or morals. Therefore his definitions, of themselves, and not from the consent of the Church, are justly held irreformable, for they are pronounced with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, an assistance promised to him in blessed Peter." The infallibility of the pope is not a doctrine that suddenly appeared in Church teaching; rather, it is a doctrine which was implicit in the early Church. It is only our understanding of infallibility which has developed and been more clearly understood over time. In fact, the doctrine of infallibility is implicit in these Petrine texts: John 21:15-17 ("Feed my sheep . . . "), Luke 22:32 ("I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail"), and Matthew 16:18 ("You are Peter . . . "). Based on Christ's Mandate Christ instructed the Church to preach everything he taught (Matt. 28:19-20) and promised the protection of the Holy Spirit to "guide you into all the truth" (John 16:13). That mandate and that promise guarantee the Church will never fall away from his teachings (Matt. 16:18, 1 Tim. 3:15), even if individual Catholics might. As Christians began to more clearly understand the teaching authority of the Church and of the primacy of the pope, they developed a clearer understanding of the pope's infallibility. This development of the faithful's understanding has its clear beginnings in the early Church. For example, Cyprian of Carthage, writing about 256, put the question this way, "Would the heretics dare to come to the very seat of Peter whence apostolic faith is derived and whither no errors can come?" (Letters 59 [55], 14). In the fifth century, Augustine succinctly captured the ancient attitude when he remarked, "Rome has spoken; the case is concluded" (Sermons 131, 10). Some Clarifications An infallible pronouncement-whether made by the pope alone or by an ecumenical council-usually is made only when some doctrine has been called into question. Most doctrines have never been doubted by the large majority of Catholics. Pick up a catechism and look at the great number of doctrines, most of which have never been formally defined. But many points have been defined, and not just by the pope alone. There are, in fact, many major topics on which it would be impossible for a pope to make an infallible definition without duplicating one or more infallible pronouncements from ecumenical councils or the ordinary magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church. At least the outline, if not the references, of the preceding paragraphs should be familiar to literate Catholics, to whom this subject should appear straightforward. It is a different story with "Bible Christians." For them papal infallibility often seems a muddle because their idea of what it encompasses is often incorrect. Some ask how popes can be infallible if some of them lived scandalously. This objection of course, illustrates the common confusion between infallibility and impeccability. There is no guarantee that popes won't sin or give bad example. (The truly remarkable thing is the great degree of sanctity found in the papacy throughout history; the "bad popes" stand out precisely because they are so rare.) Other people wonder how infallibility could exist if some popes disagreed with others. This, too, shows an inaccurate understanding of infallibility, which applies only to solemn, official teachings on faith and morals, not to disciplinary decisions or even to unofficial comments on faith and morals. A pope's private theological opinions are not infallible, only what he solemnly defines is considered to be infallible teaching. Even Fundamentalists and Evangelicals who do not have these common misunderstandings often think infallibility means that popes are given some special grace that allows them to teach positively whatever truths need to be known, but that is not quite correct, either. Infallibility is not a substitute for theological study on the part of the pope. What infallibility does do is prevent a pope from solemnly and formally teaching as "truth" something that is, in fact, error. It does not help him know what is true, nor does it "inspire" him to teach what is true. He has to learn the truth the way we all do-through study-though, to be sure, he has certain advantages because of his position. Peter Not Infallible? As a biblical example of papal fallibility, Fundamentalists like to point to Peter's conduct at Antioch, where he refused to eat with Gentile Christians in order not to offend certain Jews from Palestine (Gal. 2:11-16). For this Paul rebuked him. Did this demonstrate papal infallibility was non-existent? Not at all. Peter's actions had to do with matters of discipline, not with issues of faith or morals. Furthermore, the problem was Peter's actions, not his teaching. Paul acknowledged that Peter very well knew the correct teaching (Gal. 2:12-13). The problem was that he wasn't living up to his own teaching. Thus, in this instance, Peter was not doing any teaching; much less was he solemnly defining a matter of faith or morals. Fundamentalists must also acknowledge that Peter did have some kind of infallibility-they cannot deny that he wrote two infallible epistles of the New Testament while under protection against writing error. So, if his behavior at Antioch was not incompatible with this kind of infallibility, neither is bad behavior contrary to papal infallibility in general. Turning to history, critics of the Church cite certain "errors of the popes." Their argument is really reduced to three cases, those of Popes Liberius, Vigilius, and Honorius, the three cases to which all opponents of papal infallibility turn; because they are the only cases that do not collapse as soon as they are mentioned. There is no point in giving the details here-any good history of the Church will supply the facts-but it is enough to note that none of the cases meet the requirements outlined by the description of papal infallibility given at Vatican I (cf. Pastor Aeternus 4). Their "Favorite Case" According to Fundamentalist commentators, their best case lies with Pope Honorius. They say he specifically taught Monothelitism, a heresy that held that Christ had only one will (a divine one), not two wills (a divine one and a human one) as all orthodox Christians hold. But that's not at all what Honorius did. Even a quick review of the records shows he simply decided not to make a decision at all. As Ronald Knox explained, "To the best of his human wisdom, he thought the controversy ought to be left unsettled, for the greater peace of the Church. In fact, he was an inopportunist. We, wise after the event, say that he was wrong. But nobody, I think, has ever claimed that the pope is infallible in not defining a doctrine." Knox wrote to Arnold Lunn (a future convert who would become a great apologist for the faith-their correspondence is found in the book Difficulties): "Has it ever occurred to you how few are the alleged 'failures of infallibility'? I mean, if somebody propounded in your presence the thesis that all the kings of England have been impeccable, you would not find yourself murmuring, 'Oh, well, people said rather unpleasant things about Jane Shore . . . and the best historians seem to think that Charles II spent too much of his time with Nell Gwynn.' Here have these popes been, fulminating anathema after anathema for centuries-certain in all human probability to contradict themselves or one another over again. Instead of which you get this measly crop of two or three alleged failures!" While Knox's observation does not establish the truth of papal infallibility, it does show that the historical argument against infallibility is weak. The rejection of papal infallibility by "Bible Christians" stems from their view of the Church. They do not think Christ established a visible Church, which means they do not believe in a hierarchy of bishops headed by the pope. This is no place to give an elaborate demonstration of the establishment of a visible Church. But it is simple enough to point out that the New Testament shows the apostles setting up, after their Master's instructions, a visible organization, and that every Christian writer in the early centuries-in fact, nearly all Christians until the Reformation-fully recognized that Christ set up an ongoing organization. One example of this ancient belief comes to us from Ignatius of Antioch. In his second-century letter to the church in Smyrna, he wrote, "Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there; just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church" (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8, 1 [A.D. 110]). If Christ did set up such an organization, he must have provided for its continuation, for its easy identification (that is, it had to be visible so it could be found), and, since he would be gone from earth, for some method by which it could preserve his teachings intact. All this was accomplished through the apostolic succession of bishops, and the preservation of the Christian message, in its fullness, was guaranteed through the gift of infallibility, of the Church as a whole, but mainly through its Christ-appointed leaders, the bishops (as a whole) and the pope (as an individual). It is the Holy Spirit who prevents the pope from officially teaching error, and this charism follows necessarily from the existence of the Church itself. If, as Christ promised, the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church then it must be protected from fundamentally falling into error and thus away from Christ. It must prove itself to be a perfectly steady guide in matters pertaining to salvation. Of course, infallibility does not include a guarantee that any particular pope won't "neglect" to teach the truth, or that he will be sinless, or that mere disciplinary decisions will be intelligently made. It would be nice if he were omniscient or impeccable, but his not being so will fail to bring about the destruction of the Church. But he must be able to teach rightly, since instruction for the sake of salvation is a primary function of the Church. For men to be saved, they must know what is to be believed. They must have a perfectly steady rock to build upon and to trust as the source of solemn Christian teaching. And that's why papal infallibility exists. Since Christ said the gates of hell would not prevail against his Church (Matt. 16:18b), this means that his Church can never pass out of existence. But if the Church ever apostasized by teaching heresy, then it would cease to exist; because it would cease to be Jesus' Church. Thus the Church cannot teach heresy, meaning that anything it solemnly defines for the faithful to believe is true. This same reality is reflected in the Apostle Paul's statement that the Church is "the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Tim. 3:15). If the Church is the foundation of religious truth in this world, then it is God's own spokesman. As Christ told his disciples: "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me" (Luke 10:16). NIHIL OBSTAT: I have concluded that the materials presented in this work are free of doctrinal or moral errors. Bernadeane Carr, STL, Censor Librorum, August 10, 2004 IMPRIMATUR: In accord with 1983 CIC 827 permission to publish this work is hereby granted. +Robert H. Brom, Bishop of San Diego, August 10, 2004 Answer It means the Pope cannot be wrong when speaking on issues concerning Faith and Morals, while addressing the universal Christian community and acting in the capactiy of his office as the head of the Christian Church on earth. Answer Excerpt from "The Catholic Catechism" by John A.Hardon, S.J. : It is a dogma divinely revealed: that the Roman Pontiff when he speaks ex cathedra, that is , when acting in the office of shephard and teacher of all Christians, he defines, by virtue of his supreme apostolic authority, doctrine concerning faith and morals to be held by the universal Church, possesses through the divine assistance promised him in the person of St. Peter, the infallibility with which the divine Redeemer willed His Church to be endowed in defining doctrine concerning faith or morals; and that such definitions are therefore irreformable of themselves, and not from the consent of the Church. If this still isn't clear to you, just consult the "Catechism of the Catholic Church". It answers any questions you might have. Answer To it it in in its historical context "Papal infallibility" became accepted Church teaching only in 1870 after heated debate/dissent within the hierarchy of the Church. Prior to that the idea had been around for some time and developed alongside the increasing power of the papacy over the Church. (MORE)

To The Editor:
With the death of Nelson Mandela, many of us reflected not only upon his extraordinary achievements, making it his fight to create a free South Africa, but we paused to consider how his legacy has touched our personal lives.
For me Mandela's legacy is about courage. His inspirational message teaches us to fight for social justice when we see inequalities, and to take a stand, however small, to affect other's lives in a positive way, especially those who need protection.
There are many in society who need protecting. From children who fall through the cracks in the child welfare system, to parents who are unfairly denied the right to spend time with their children. This is most hurtful during the holiday season
Courage can take many forms, but usually entails risk and selfless dedication to the greater good. Mandela's legacy teaches us to take that risk.
With Mandela's passing, I hope we never forget the need to find courage in the face of society's failures to help those who need it most.
Mandela showed how one man can change the course of a nation.
We can honor his memory by taking the steps uphold social justice and protect our society's most vulnerable populations.

With every Tracy McGrady shot that fell, the Nets' faces seemed to fall that much lower in response. Whether it was the reverse layup he spun in nearly from behind the basket or the fadeaway jumpers he made with hands and arms in front of him, McGrady scored 46 points today and found a way -- just as Michael Jordan did in scoring 43 against them Friday night -- to send the Nets reeling.
But while blinded by the superstar glare these last two games, the Nets also made their task more overwhelming today. They trailed the entire first half, by as many as 15 points, and after a spirited comeback cut the deficit to a point entering the fourth quarter.
That is when the Orlando Magic tore off 17 unanswered points, the Nets missed 15 straight shots and a few defensive assignments, and McGrady missed nothing. He scored the last 10 points of the run and put the Nets away in a 113-105 Orlando victory at Continental Arena.
''We're in a state of funk right now because our heads are down; guys aren't feeling very good,'' Coach Byron Scott said after the Nets' fourth home loss of the season. ''We got to play a little bit harder, a little bit smarter. The main thing for us is, we got to stay together. We can't point fingers at anybody but ourselves. We're playing like this. We have to play better.''
Nets point guard Jason Kidd recorded his third triple-double of the season, finishing with 26 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds, but it was overshadowed by the second triple-double of McGrady's career. McGrady had 13 assists and 10 rebounds to complement his efficient 16-of-27 shooting. He began auspiciously by making his first six shots.Continue reading the main story
Since the Magic traded McGrady's best friend, Mike Miller, to Memphis for Drew Gooden and Gordan Giricek, McGrady has scored 98 points in two games, including his career-best 52 points Friday night against the Chicago Bulls.
''It's just confidence,'' said McGrady, the league's leading scorer at 31.4 points a game. ''The basket feels so big. I feel like I'm in a zone, and hopefully I can stay in that zone for the rest of the season.''
The Nets are experiencing the opposite: the basket seems to have shrunk. They missed 23 of 28 shots in the fourth quarter, and they have lost five of their last eight games.
''We're not feeling good right now,'' Kerry Kittles said. ''I think we're all frustrated.''
Kidd said: ''Every team goes through that type of spell; it's just a matter of how fast you can get out of it. We just have to stay positive and keep supporting each other.''
In the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Nets backup Anthony Johnson said, ''we had some slippage, missed assignments on the pick-and-roll, and you can't do that if you're coming from behind; that leads to losses sometimes.''
Pat Garrity got free and jump-started the Magic's fourth-quarter run with 7 straight points, then McGrady sealed the Nets' fate. McGrady scored 16 points in the first game against the Nets this season, then 30 and 32 before today. The Nets (37-20) split the four-game season series against Orlando (28-29).
''You play guys so many times and you have pretty good success,'' Scott said, alluding to Jordan and McGrady. ''Sooner or later, they are going to explode.''
Kenyon Martin could not stop McGrady. Martin scored a team-high 27 points before he fouled out with 5 minutes 38 seconds to play and the Nets trailing, 107-92.
Richard Jefferson also had the unenviable assignment of guarding Jordan, then McGrady. Jefferson finished with 8 points today, making 3 of 10 shots. Despondent after the game, Jefferson agreed with Scott that the Nets were in a funk.
''I take a lot of blame for the funk and I just got to find a way to get going and get going consistently,'' he said. ''Whether it's my aggressiveness or my offense or doing whatever I can.''
The Nets also threw double-teams at McGrady, but he connected on a 22-footer even when Lucious Harris smothered him. ''He made a couple of shots that only great players can make,'' Orlando Coach Doc Rivers said.
Kidd shot 9 for 25 today after his 2-for-13 game Friday in Washington. In the fourth quarter, he scored 9 of the Nets' 16 points.
''He played his heart out; the guy was exhausted,'' Scott said. ''We just have to have other guys step up right now.''
Kittles can see Kidd's frustration. ''He wants to try to help this team get on the right track and all he's saying is, 'You got to continue to play better,' '' Kittles said. ''And we haven't done that, so I know he's real frustrated with that.''
Rivers suggested before the game that the Nets had slumped because they were looking ahead. ''Most teams that go to the finals, the following year they want to get back to the finals, but don't want to get through the regular season,'' he said.
The Nets said there was no finger-pointing in the locker room.
''Everybody goes through funks,'' Harris said. ''We got 25 games left and I think we're going to rebound. It's just a tough time right now. I don't think anybody in here is separating. We've been through this before.''Continue reading the main story

what you are missing is to add a invocation in your build
file to make the ant tasks contained in mksant.jar known to your build file.
mksant.jar probably contains either an antlib.xml file or a property
file with the list of the ant tasks, and this must be referenced.
Additionnally, it would be cleaner not to put this mksant.jar inside
ant_home/lib, but maybe in a lib folder below the location of your build

So you would have something like that

Doing a jar tvf mksant.jar or opening the file in Winzip or similar will
