There were great challenges in making the course happen. Probably the most disheartening was the confiscation, by the US Transit Security Agency of a can of very special black paint (called Benedict Black) which I purchased and brought to the US.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
