Winner of the 2012 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry
Selected by Arthur Sze
Hyperboreal originates from diasporas. It attempts to make sense of change and to prepare for cultural, climate, and political turns that are sure to continue. The poems originate from the hope that our lives may be enriched by the expression of and reflection on the cultural strengths inherent to indigenous culture. It concerns King Island, the ancestral home of the author's family until the federal government's Bureau of Indian Affairs forcibly and permanently relocated its residents. The poems work towards the assembly of an identity, both collective and singular, that is capable of looking forward from the recollection and impact of an entire community's relocation to distant and arbitrary urban centers. Through language, Hyperboreal grants forum to issues of displacement, lack of access to traditional lands and resources and loss of family that King Island people—and all Inuit—are contending with.

In Supernormal — the cookbook based on the eponymous Melbourne restaurant — Andrew McConnell, owner and head chef, takes home cooks into the kitchen of his hugely popular pan-Asian eatery. Across eight chapters, he shares something of the McConnell magic, satisfying fans who aspire to a Supernormal-worthy spread at home. The book's charm also stems from the artful photographs from Earl Carter, who offers a behind-the-scenes take on the restaurant and its characters, as well as scenes from Tokyo, a long-time source of inspiration for McConnell and his Flinders Lane eating house.
"For us, it's a case of too much McConnell being barely enough" — John Lethlean, The Australian

Pre-Marital & Post-Marital Agreements
Pre-Marital agreements (also known as Pre-Nuptial agreements) are governed by the Pre-Marital Agreement Act which has been codified in the California Family Code. There are a number of requirements and guidelines that must be met to ensure that the pre-marital agreement is upheld in a court of law, should it ever be necessary. To ensure that your pre-marital agreement is consistent with public policy and meets the requirements necessary to make it enforceable in a court of law, it is best to have a knowledgeable and experienced attorney assist you in the matter. Post-marital agreements are also becoming more common, as married couples wish to identify their individual financial rights and Obligations after entering into a marriage.Spousal Support/Alimony Spousal Support
Sometimes called alimony or maintenance, spousal support is the subject of many myths and misconceptions. Awards of any spousal support at all are far from automatic, and California judges have broad discretion in determining how much will be paid for how long when they do award spousal support. Whether you believe you should receive spousal support or may face a demand that you pay it, the lawyer you choose to represent you could prove pivotal for your financial future. As opposed to child support, which is based on relatively clear, consistent statewide guidelines, spousal support outcomes can vary widely based on the approach you take, the court where your case is heard, your attorney's level of preparation and other factors.What Factors Does a Court Consider in Deciding on Spousal Support?
On a temporary basis, between the time of separation and the time of trial, the court has a program that is used to calculate spousal support. On a permanent basis, the court looks to the factors contained in Family Code Section 4320.
Under Family Code 4320, the court shall consider all of the following circumstances:
- The extent to which the earning capacity of each party is sufficient to maintain the standard of living established during the marriage, taking into account all of the following:
- The marketable skills of the supported party, the job market for those skills, the time and expenses required for the supported party to acquire the appropriate education or training to develop those skills, and the possible need for retraining or education to acquire other, more marketable skills of employment
- The extent to which the supported party's present or future earning capacity is impaired by periods of unemployment that were incurred during the marriage to permit the supported party to devote time to domestic duties
- The extent to which the supported party contributed to the attainment of an education, training, a career position, or a license by the supporting party
- The ability of the supporting party to pay spousal support, taking into account the supporting party's earning capacity, earned and unearned income, assets, and standard of living
- The needs of each party based on the standard of living established during the marriage
- The obligations and assets, including the separate property of each party
- The duration of the marriage
- The ability of the support party to engage in gainful employment without unduly interfering with the interest of dependent children in the custody of the party
- The age and health of the parties
- Documented evidence of domestic violence
- The immediate and specific tax consequences to each party
- The balance of the hardships to each party
- The goal that the supported party shall be self-supporting within a reasonable period of time applies to a short term marriage. In the case of a marriage of long duration, as described in §4336, a 'reasonable period of time' for purposes of this section generally shall be one-half the length of the marriage. However, nothing in this section is intended to limit the court's discretion to order support for a greater or lesser length of time, based on any of the other factors listed in this section, §4336, and the circumstances of the parties

COD 1st Season for 2018 – Grand Opening
"Now Now Now" Exhibition by Mia Enell
Tirana, 9 January 2018 –
COD opened its first season of 2018 with the exhibition 'Now now now' of the artist Mia Enell. With the Prime-Minister and the artist herself in presence, the opening ceremony brought together representatives of art and culture instructions, media, diplomatic corps, international and civil society organisations as well as members of public institutions.
Mia Enell's 22 works were displayed at Main Hall of the Prime Minister's Office Protocol Hall in addition to the adjacent 'Meet the Artist' Chamber. Coalescing painting and drawing, the exhibition curated by Genti Gjikola combines together works 'that beyond the obvious easiness and simplicity, display the world's complexity that Mia Enell aims to explore'.
Welcoming the participants and the artist, Ms. Eridana Çano, Director General of the Agency for Dialogue and Co-Governance, in her opening remarks highlighted the purpose of COD and emphasized that during 2018 a series of novel and unique activities will aim to transform its space into an interactive area that puts citizens in its primary focus.
Mia Enell spoke about her art, its language and how it communicates with the public. 'I don't want my work to pinpoint to a singular topic. If my work purposefully seeks not to attract attention yet contains a sense of humour, it will likely shine a light to wider issues and not just a particular idea' Ms Enell stated. 'I continuously aim to keep my work open to interpretations. This way, there are opportunities to make a choice – concentrate and complete the work or keep it open and unfinished. I choose the latter'. The collection presented in Albania for visitors is part of the 'Now Now Now' catalogue.
The exhibition with remain opened for the public until 9 March 2018.
Mia Enell was born in 1967 in Goteborg, Sweden. She currently lives and works in New York, USA. She completed the Nyckelvikskolan Art School in Stockholm (1987) and graduated from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris (MFA) in 1992. Her works have been exhibited in numerous personal and joint exhibitions in notable museums and art galleries in USA and Europe. They can also be found in distinguished international and private collections, including, among others, Los Angelos County Museum of Art (L.A.C.M.A.), Galleria Borghese in Italy, Ahrenberg Collection in Switzerland, Statens Konstråd – The National Public Art Council, Sweden as well as Caisse des Depots et Consignation and Fonds National d'Art Contemporain, both in Paris, France.

Maybe you really need a second set of eyes that can help you decide on what form of new roof would look best on your home? Phone us now and arrange a FREE roof evaluation from some of our expert installers!
As one of their biggest investments people typically have a ton of questions before coming to a conclusion , below are a few of the most common ones…
Unless you are a qualified contractor, most roofing jobs really should not be performed yourself. Additionally always remember that a large number of manufacturers of products utilized in the roof repair will not warranty those items unless a licensed professional performs the task. The other thing to keep in mind is that working on a roof can be very dangerous, so is it really worth endangering your health in order to save money?
It would be great if we were able to give you a straight forward answer to this question! But there actually is no one answer that fits all for each question like that. There are a lot of unique products readily available and each and every one will have its own advantages and disadvantages. To determine which is the best roof for your home, you really should have a contractor come and take a look at your roof and they can make suggestions based on what they observe, your roof design, the environment you live in and, of course, your budget.
It actually depends on the kind of roof and what evaluations are required. Also, bear in mind that we're working outdoors in the elements, so if the weather is bad and we can't work on particular days then this will certainly add time to the task. A smaller home might take around a week or so, while larger industrial projects can be anything from several weeks to a number of months. Just be sure your roofing company keeps you updated and you should be fine.
Considering that your roof is always subjected to the weather, this means your roof is going to deteriorate gradually. The rate at which it degrades will be dependent on a number of factors. Those include; the grade of the original materials used as well as the craftsmanship, the amount of abuse it has to take from the weather, how well the roof is preserved and the style of the roof. Most roofing contractors will quote around 20 years for a well-built and well-maintained roof, but obviously that can never be guaranteed because of the above factors. Our suggestion is to consistently keep your roof well maintained and get regular roof inspections to be sure it lasts as long as possible.
You should never pressure wash your roof, as you take the risk of washing away any protective materials that have been included to offer protection from the weather. In addition, you should keep away from chlorine-based bleach cleaning products as they may also diminish the lifespan of your roof. When you talk to your roof cleaning expert, ask them to use an EPA-approved algaecide/fungicide to clean your roof. This will clear away the unsightly algae and discoloration without damaging the tile or shingles.
Obviously, our clients adore us!
Just take a look below at what a couple of them had to say about us right here at Fresno Roofing Pros.
We are SO thrilled!
We chose to have one of your installers visit to help us select what style of roof would fit our home most effectively, and oh my gosh was he a great help! He walked us through all the various styles of roofing and helped us select the very best one to have put in! Thanks a lot!
Oh my goodness gracious, what an excellent company!
You are genuinely one of a kind roof installers! You saw to it to walk me through the whole entire procedure, so I thought that I was genuinely a part of it. I really like our brand new roof, and I am so thrilled with how economical it actually was!
I love our all-new roof !
I was perplexed on whether to choose a typical shingle roof or choose a metal one. Your installers really helped me choose, and I am so delighted to have had the knowledge and aid. You put in an exquisite new roof, and I couldn't be more satisfied with just how our house looks today! Thanks again business

Considerations To Remember When Installing A Whole New Roof On Your Property
Shopping for a new roof is a major investment for your average homeowner. In fact, the normal homeowner would replace the rooftop on his/her house only a couple of times throughout his/her entire lifetime. That is why one should be extra cautious when purchasing a new roof. It is really not like purchasing a new car since you cannot just trade it in after a year or so. Ensure you carry out the necessary research prior to buying a whole new roof for your home.
Below are a few considerations to bear in mind when installing a fresh roof on your own property.
It is important would be to know the lifespan of your respective current roof. In reality, many of the roofs would go on for two decades without having issues.
Asphalt and shingle roofs are examples in this regard. On the flip side, a metal or slate roof will easily last for longer than five decades together with the right form of maintenance.
Don't hold off until the existing roof gives you problems to decide to exchange it. In case the current one has exceeded its maximum lifespan, you should think about replacing it with a brand new roof.
The next step would be to decide whether or not the current roof really needs replacing.
Is it possible to extend the lifespan of the current roof having a thorough repair rather than complete replacement?
Provided you can extend the lifespan of the current roof by repairing it, you should think of doing this by all means. In reality, it can save you a lot of money and time. However, you can expect to avoid a major mess in the meantime.
If roof repair isn't an alternative, you should think of replacing the entire roof with a brand new one. There may be numerous roofing materials that you can buy. Hence, you should make a decision on the roofing material that can withstand the weather in the community. In fact, you can decide on tile, rubber, faux slate, asphalt, wood shakes, copper, metal, real slate, and composite materials.
Shop around on each of these materials and their positives and negatives.
The neighborhood conditions could have an affect on the roofing materials you employ. When your area gets plenty of sun, you must go with a roofing material that may be UV-resistant. Local factors can impact the roofing material you choose.
Be sure to consult a specialist roofing contractor in your community to select the best roofing material which could withstand the weather within your region.
Ventilation and insulation are essential aspects of a brand new roof.
You need to employ a reliable roof specialist who understands the necessity of these factors when installing a new roof. In reality, you must make use of a local roof specialist having extensive experience doing business in the local community. An individual recommendation is the ideal in relation to discovering the right roofing contractor to your project. It could save time and effort and cash within the selection process.
The previously mentioned article provides info on several of the considerations to keep in mind when installing a fresh roof on the property.

"He made $26K flipping silly little websites!"
This ad copy caught my eye. It's a perfect example of a tempting "business opportunity". In one simple sentence, the ad implies that there's some little-known, simple thing you could learn how to do, that could make you a lot of money.
Thousands of entrepreneurs and wannabe-entrepreneurs fall for such promises. And this leads them down a predictable and ultimately disappointing path...
Business opportunities are always highly promising and tempting. "Learn this easy thing! Make all this money!"
But, to borrow a phrase from one of my favorite authors, Ben Goldacre: I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.
In reality, things are always more complex, slower and less exciting than originally advertised. And herein lies the real trap. You sign up for a way to make easy money, but what you actually get is a job. If you want a chance to make any of the promised money, there's work to do. And more often than not, it isn't work you like doing or ever wanted to be doing.
The key to avoiding the business opportunity trap is to consider the day-to-day. If you ask yourself: "do I want the money and lifestyle that's being promised here?" the answer will always be "yes!"
But the answers will be very different if you ask yourself: "what will my day-to-day look like, if I get into this business? And is that something I want?"
Don't ask "do I want the money and lifestyle this business opportunity promises?" Instead, ask: "what will my day-to-day look like, in this business? Is it aligned with my strengths and goals?"
It's a mistake to only look at the potential payoff. Of course, we'd all like more money and freedom. But you know that classic mistake of chasing the carrot on a stick? Slaving away at a career for decades so that you can have a lot of money once you're old, only to realize you've wasted most of your life?
Well, getting into a "business opportunity" in which you do unfulfilling work you hate, just so you can maybe make some money and quit your job is no better than that. It's merely another flavor of the same mistake.
Ideally, we could all do greatly fulfilling work and get handsomely rewarded for it. Ideally, you don't have to compartmentalize your life into "work" (which you hate) and "life" (which is what you need to recover from work).
Unfortunately, we don't live in an ideal world.
There's no guarantee that what you like doing lines up with what is economically valuable. Plus, passion is often something that grows out of what you do. We shouldn't wait for passion to strike, before taking action.
So, I am (still) not telling you to follow your passion. What I am saying is that it's good to have an idea of your strengths and weaknesses. It's good to know what fulfills you and what doesn't. And I recommend that you align your entrepreneurial plans with those insights.
For example, the reason I create a lot of video content and written content isn't because that's the most profitable thing I could possibly be doing. It doesn't represent the greatest opportunity for me to make as much money as possible. But I love creating things. And thus, creating content is something that helps my businesses and also keeps me sane and happy.
Someone else may be much more content pouring over endless spreadsheets, to optimize the next round of PPC ads. There's a lot of money in that too, no doubt. But for me, it would make me miserable.
On the topic of promising "business opportunities": most people will tell you that the reason they promise quick & easy money and hide all complexity is because that's how you get people to buy them. People want the quick fix, right? No one wants to deal with something complex.
Here's a counter argument: I recently launched Course Craft, which is a system for creating an online course business.
You could call this a "business opportunity" product. However, building an online course business doesn't happen over night. And it's not for everyone. In the sales material for Course Craft, I made this abundantly clear. I never presented it as a quick or easy solution. I explicitly told people not to buy it if they were looking for a business opportunity. I even published an overview "map" of my course, which clearly shows that the course covers a lot of material and I made it clear that there would be homework.
Thousands of people bought the course.
I believe that this shows us 2 things:
With the right strategy, you can succeed without needing to succumb to opportunistic behavior.
Have you stumbled into the business opportunity trap before? What can you do to align your business goals with your strengths? What can you do to avoid the temptation of business opportunities and bright shiny objects in the future?

Excellent observations, Shane, and so true. Enjoyed watching this video.
Thank you! Someone has to say it as it is. I love your approach – think about what your daily routine is going to look it – so true. Everyone talks about lofty goals and achievements and the end game, but it's the day-to-day that matters. If it were a job, would you apply for it? – fantastic question.
Great video Shane!
I see these business opportunity webinar ads/emails all the time. I attend a few, but just to grab any pieces of information I can use in my business.
I always wonder how many people take the bait and sign up for these programs, and what percentage see any level of success. I imagine it's low.
Hi Shane- How do you add those animations in your video? is this something you show in focus and action?
Hey Shane, I jumped into the online course creation world about two years ago. Simply a slow learning curve :-)
I would like to learn more from you about your experience in online business.
I have looked ahead and asked where I want to be in my 50/60's. What do I like doing? How do I want to spend my time? with who? where?
Then filter decisions through that grid.
Great post! I'm kind of aggressive with my promotions to my subscribers, but it's plr stuff they can resell or software tools.
I really hate the whole MMO range of "products". Every one of these sellers use the same promise lines: "Newbie friendly", "No website needed", "Get set up in 30 minutes", "Start making money in as little as 24 hours", "Just 3 simple steps", "It's copy and paste easy", etc.,
And sadly those are the big sellers of the week 9 times out of 10, not the solid training courses.
I don't agree with Seth Godin, however, that the people buying these products secretly want to fail and be let down.
Personally, I feel like most people just have a difficult time with the technical aspect of things and with knowing in general how to market a product of their own effectively. So they buy into these lame mmo schemes with hope that it will give them a shortcut to success.
It's a bit like putting money into a slot machine. They know it's probably not going to pay off, but "maybe this time" they'll get lucky.
I think creating a course is a good idea for some of these people, and for others they should develop a skill and do freelancing work first, for local businesses or online…and then they can create a course about how they succeeded at developing their skill and getting clients…
Seniors especially feel overwhelmed, but many of them are the ones who will put forth the most effort to actually do something. Sustaining a productive mode of operation is very tough for seniors, however.
For me, as a person who sells software and promotes a lot of stuff as an affiliate, I find it discouraging that most of my subscribers are still struggling, and some have been with me now a long time.
It really makes me sick of this whole business to be honest, and as soon as I can transition away from it into something else, I'm gone. I'm tired of achieving nothing for nobody else and still promoting the same type of courses over and over again…
It makes me money to do it, but I've been wanting to see people succeed, and they have not…so it's not fulfilling for them and not for me either.
I'm completely burned out as an Internet marketer and have been for well over a year now, but it's how I make money…
Hi Shane
I enjoy reading your posts because you are well-grounded in this world of internet marketing. I have chosen to run a marketing agency for the past 20 years – and if I had asked myself at the beginning of it all if I would like the day-to-day – I would never have gotten into it. Your advice is stellar. People don't always realize that the day-to-day is the most important part. Thanks for your insight.
I have watched many videos from you, Shane, and this is possibly your best yet! Really touched a chord with me. When I left my previous job and looked at business opportunities, I saw these shiny objects, eg. Amazon FBA, but quickly realised it wouldn't make me happy to do the things that would be involved, day-to-day. Creating is what makes me happy, so I am developing information products and I love my day-to-day!
Always solid content…thanks, Shane!

My Future Business
Yes, Shane! Great observations, as always! :D
I think the key here is something you addressed toward the last few minutes of your video…
The "tunnel-vision" focus on 'money at all costs' perspective…
I have personally known people who have this very attitude…
Without exception (in the small sample size of my personal knowledge), they all had a "gaming the system" attitude, and underneath it all had very low self-esteem: they believed they 'couldn't get hired' or 'hold down a job' & were like petty thieves…ie., getting money at any cost… No scruples and no ethics! (Hence, my "petty thief" analogy, not to imply they were all criminals…yet!)
The saddest part of this scenario is these people (in my small sample size, at least) would never be interested in working hard, or asking the tough questions you posed: would I like the day-to-day work?
The above is an interesting, if sobering, perspective that *I never considered until watching YOUR message on this…*
It takes a lot of inner strength to do the introspection and hard work of self-assessment and be really honest with yourself!
Thanks for a great approach, and illustrating that is IS possible to combine what you like to do with what makes a profitable business! :-)
Firstly, not so keen on the outro music hahaha
But more importantly awesome comments on a HUGE trap I admit I've fallen into a few times – super important thing to stay away of so thanks as always Shane ;-D
To answer your question, the way I've finally managed to keep focus on my one business for long enough to be seeing some progress & success is I have a bi-weekly accountability group where we have to state our "One Thing" for the week, and we all check that aligns with our "One Thing" for the quarter & year… and about every other week someone in the group calls someone else out for 'chasing the shiny object' so this is a very real thing we know we need to be aware of!
PS. The "Login with Facebook" button next to this comment box I'm getting an error:
"App Not Setup: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions."
Hey Gun,
That accountability group sounds great! :-) I'm still looking for a Mastermind or accountability group in my area (So. Calif. — You'd think there'd be lots of groups in the "greater LA area" but so far all I found were marketer-lead groups that are trying to sell some "new strategy" (rolling my eyes…just what I need :-/)…
Would love to hear about how you found your group…and how you vetted the different groups to find out what fit your needs!
I recommend paying as much as you can justify / afford to join a group. The higher the price the better, as it pre-vets the other participants for you.
That being first, second I would choose a group that you resonate with their marketing, as then it's likely that other people similar to yourself also resonate with their marketing, and there's a good chance you'll get along and relate to the other participant's wants desires, pains & frustrations.
I have continually paid a large percentage of what I make towards such communities, courses, groups & live events to push my 'normal' and colleagues that I associate with as high as I can, and I don't regret a cent : )
Thanks, Gun!
I appreciate your input! :-) I had no idea "paying to join" was the standard practice! :-o
I've been thinking about starting my own Mastermind group, but wasn't sure how to start… Maybe checking out these existing groups will give me the background info I need to do just that…
We'll see! ;-)
Hi Shane
What an excellent way to look at this.
This whole time I was focused on "Will this help my business?" which seems like a reasonable criterion but now of course I have a bunch of trainings and software I haven't even looked at yet.
I was actually considering buying a $500 training earlier today which could definitely help my business (if I did it) but now that I'm considering the day-to-day I'm gonna pass.
Thanks for saving me from myself again Shane
All the best
Hi Shane,
I have found that achieving small and easy targets are better than running behind something big which will eat out your whole life savings.
I have beein doing it from last couple of months and its giving great results. the best part is i feel happy and worthy.
Having recently bought Russell Brunson's Click funnels system after seeing a lot of fast talking videos and catchy headlines, it feels like I've arrived at the doctor's dispensary for truth and wisdom.
Thank you for keeping it real Shane. Right now I'm just relishing the simple production values, the clear thinking and honest sharing of your experience.
I'm looking forward to considering what it is I'd like to spend my day doing. That's an excellent place to start. Good question.

Oscilloscope Laboratories announced today that it has acquired North American rights to Dan Berk and Robert Olsen's "Body". The cerebral thriller has become highly acclaimed after its premiere at The Slamdance Film Festival. Plans are in the works for a theatrical and digital release later in 2015. "Body" follows a group of women who's night becomes deadly after entering what seems like an empty mansion.
A darkly funny and twisted journey taking place entirely on one unforgettable Christmas Eve, Body revolves around a trio of college co-eds whose dalliance with breaking-and- entering goes horribly awry. Sneaking off to a secluded mansion to party, the young girls are faced with dire choices after they unexpectedly encounter the property's groundskeeper. Following a freak accident, the girls find themselves entangled in a Hitchcockian nightmare steeped in tension, suspicion, double-crossing, and murder, where no one is to be trusted and a new twist lies around every corner.
The film stars up-and-coming actresses Helen Rogers, Alexanadra Turshen, and Lauren Molina, and features genre and indie film stalwart Larry Fessenden in the titular role.
About the acquisition, O-Scope's Dan Berger and David Laub said, "Body is an absolutely wonderful discovery—an incredibly clever, resourceful thriller that crafts excitement, tension, and piquant black humor out of the most basic of setups—three girls, a house, and a body at the foot of the stairs. Dan Berk and Robert Olsen are major new filmmaking talents, and we are thrilled to be bringing their debut feature out into the world."
Filmmakers Dan Berk and Robert Olsen said, "We're honored and excited to have found a partner in Oscilloscope. Their brand and approach to distribution are really in line with how we always envisioned bringing our movie to audiences. They're the perfect home for BODY."

Galatians 6:2-10
Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing,
he deceives himself.
But each one must examine his own work,
and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone,
and not in regard to another.
For each one will bear his own load.
The one who is taught the word
is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked;
for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
For the one who sows to his own flesh
will from the flesh reap corruption,
but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Let us not lose heart in doing good,
for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.
So then, while we have opportunity,
let us do good to all people,
and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

Bunny is molting. A lot. You can see everything she has molted for a couple of years in the bag.
Look at her funny molting pattern on the nose.
The carpet is full of hair, after cuddles, and her little bottom too.
We vaccumed a few days ago too.
One day I will have someone make me some Mimle yarn.
But she is adorable, so I guess we need to take out the brush again tonight.
Remember to brush your bunnies people so they don't get hairballs.

Ever since I first picked up Letters of Note while working with Unbound, I have been a huge fan of Shaun Usher's work.
When he approached me to put together a site to showcase his Books of Note, I jumped at the chance to do justice to his incredible collection of letters and lists.
Harnessing the power of React, React-Router and Express, Books of Note is a universal JavaScript application—that is, it uses the same code base for the client side as the server side. Combining that with Webpack and hot reloading meant more time could be spent on finessing the design and user experience—not just on wiring the front and back-end together.

Recently, we've taken on a few naming projects here at the agency. No big, right? We've named lots of stuff before: startups, retail products, pasta dishes, you name it. (See what I did there?) And a lot of us have kids, so that means we've even named human beings. With real names. You know, for people. For their whole lives. (No pressure.)
But no matter what it is, when we're strategically developing a brand's name, there are a few basic objectives we strive for:
- Be unique and ownable.
- Be a link to the brand's story.
- Be phonetically appealing.
- Be easy to remember.
With all of that in mind, naming a startup, or a donut shop, or a whatever, should be easy, right? Not so fast. In recent years, it's become a huge pain in the ass. Why? Because of the Internet.
Everyone who wants a name needs a website. With an original domain name. And with over 250 million of them in use on the Internet, everything from nerdworld.net to catscatscats.com is taken. For real.
So what does that leave us with? A lot of room for creativity. Here are a few paths to take:
A made-up word.
That's right: Zappos, Etsy, Plaxo, and the jillion other nonsensical names out there do a fine job of having a unique sounding and hopefully memorable namesake. And a lot of times, they're just fun to say. A possible downside – you may sacrifice any descriptive quality that might help consumers know what you're selling. (I'm not sure what a Yobongo is, but it does sound pretty cool.)
A mashed-up word.
Think Fitbit, Mibblio, and well, Mashable. If you can't use the one word that's going to tell the complete story as simply as possible, slam two together garanimals-style (great name, btw) and let those two words do the job of one. Sidenote: A fancy word for this is "portmanteau." Which would also be a good name…but it's taken.
A made-up story.
Don't have an interesting backstory of how you invented your widget while backpacking through New Zealand during an eclipse? Who cares? Time to fabricate some magic. Warby Parker, the online glasses site, is a combo of two Jack Kerouac character names. (And I always thought he was just a hipster spectacle designer guy in Brooklyn.) One Kings Lane is a home decor shopping site. It is not located on One Kings Lane. That's not a place. They made it up. But it sounds cool and all Anglo-European, so now I want to buy their pillows.
So even though there are about 250 million domains already taken, that's no excuse to fail at finding an amazingly original and memorable name. Just be sure to check out its availability on GoDaddy.com (which was almost named BigDaddy, but that domain was taken. P.S. Don't go there.).

# 64 / May 2019 / Focus: Digitalization
The digitization of all walks of life is unleashing terrific dynamics. Find out in this issue how Empa helps our society prepare for the future. Read the latest EmpaQuarterly online or download the pdf-version.
# 63 / January 2019 / Focus: Natural resources from Switzerland
For some time now, extremely precious raw materials have been lying dormant in our cities rather than underground. How can we mine them successfully? We could recover indium, neodymium and gold from the piles of domestic e-waste like our discarded smartphones and other gadgets. We could toughen up old buildings with memory steel for new uses. We could produce cartilage implants made of cellulose and insulating materials made of recycled paper for timber houses. We could store summer heat and use it on cold winter's days. The latest issue of EmpaQuarterly presents some of these resource-saving approaches and the resourceful researchers behind them.

A COLCHESTER diver was left "awestruck" after capturing a picture of a huge barrel jellyfish that was 'as big as him' off the UK coast.
Dan Abbott, an underwater cinematographer, was filming marine life around the coast with biologist Lizzie Daly, host of BBC Earth, when they came across the jellyfish.
On the final leg of their tour of the British Isles, the duo were filming off the coast of Falmouth, Cornwall.
Dan was quick to take a picture of the mammoth stinger and with Lizzie alongside it to demonstrate just how big the jellyfish was.
Dan said the jellyfish was "about a metre and a half long, probably half a metre in width."
The 32-year-old said: "It's the biggest jellyfish I've ever seen, in some ways I was shocked but not in a negative way, more awestruck.
"It was an incredible animal, we both came out the water completely mind blown from that experience."
Dan and Lizzie had spent a week travelling to marine life hotspots around the British isles on a trip called Wild Ocean Week.
They swam with grey seals off the Farne Islands, minke whales off the north west coast of Scotland, and seabirds off Wales.
They saw the huge barrel jellyfish on Saturday (July 13).
Dan added: "The thing that this whole week has been about is demonstrating that you don't need to go to the other side of the world to see amazing marine wildlife, there's plenty on our doorstep.
"It was myself and Lizzie Daly, that's the person in the photo, we travelled all around the UK to various different marine hot spots.
"The final leg was in Cornwall where we went for a dive where we encountered the enormous barrel jellyfish.
"Cornwall was nice and warm for diving, and because of the jellyfish that was my favourite part but it's all been good, each one has been very special."
During their trip Dan and Lizzie raised money for the Marine Conservation Society.

Hello lovelies, it is 13th day of Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Challenge and today's theme is hearts.
This year I have love/hate relationship to the day. I am here and my lovely other side is in Estonia, which makes it slightly bittersweet. We haven't celebrated it huge or anything, just spent time with each other and had few glasses of red wine and a nice dinner. I went with a skittlette manicure. All the honor for the name skittlette belongs to ChitChatNails.
I do have one more Valentine's Day manicure in store.. Although I am not a huge fan I really like what I came up with, so on to the polishes and more photos.
Polishes used:
- black – Liquid Leather by China Glaze
- red – Long Kiss by China Glaze
- silver – Foil Flash by Maybelline Colorama from Brocades collection
- black crackle – Ink Splatter by Sally Hansen
I freehanded the hearts with the help of dotting tool and detail brush. I am very proud of myself, specially for my ring finger. Be sure to check out all the hearty manicures from the inlinkz after the photos. Till my next post ;).

Have been using Arthur's for quite some time now. Excellent reliable, friendly service. Quick email to change orders, happy to do standing orders and exclusions of dislikes etc. Pay via Paypal. Always arrives on time, good fresh veg and fruit. Plus makes you think of new dishes when you get some veg may not traditionally buy. No draw backs. Debatably cheaper than the Supermarket as well, while supporting local.

Fresher than organic veg in the supermarkets and delivered to your door with such a friendly smile - what more could one ask for? I have used Arthur Street Organics for fourteen years now and would (and do) recommend them to everyone.
Yvonne Dumsday
I have been having deliveries for a few weeks now and the fruit and veg I have ordered have been of a fantastic quality! As a recent organic convert the best thing about it is that you can really taste the flavours, much better than bland supermarket fruit and veg and better for you in my opinion. It's great that they deliver - much easier. All the staff are very helpful and friendly! I would recommed giving them a try!

I feel I must let you know that last Wednesday's delivery, even without any asparagus, was the most fabulous selection of vegetables - and that cauliflower was great. The mustard greens are delicious and, well, everything was great. And the avocados were the best I've ever tasted.
I have really enjoyed receiving the veg box over the past year. The variety and quality of the veg box has been excellent.
Thanks for the brilliant produce and service.
Thank you for the work you do - it's great to be able to get local veg easily.
Mark & Liane.
I'll take this opportunity to say thankyou for both the service and the quality of your fruit and veg.
Ms P Wharam.
Last week's quality was fantastic, especially the salad.
Thanks for the first delivery I have had - I have enjoyed all of the contents of the box and am very much looking forward to repeating the experience.
Thanks for the brill delivery service that you offer....Tuesday's have never been the same!.

We've all heard the saying "once is a blue moon." The blue moon has arrived. Well, there's a supermoon, which could also be a blue moon, which reputedly causes lunacy.
This weekend the moon will invade our space more than usual. Although it will only be 14 percent larger, it has been dubbed the "supermoon." The ideal time to see it is when it fills up at 8:30 a.m. this weekend. (Santa Fe New Mexican News).
So, how high the moon? The average distance from the Earth to the moon is 380,000 km (235,000 miles). It will sidle up to the Earth about 221,000 miles away. If the Earth and the moon were chatting on the street, the moon would be almost 13 inches closer than usual. That could be discomfiting fort the Earth, especially if the two didn't get along
What's the comparative size of the Earth to the moon? The Earth is 12,740 km (7900 miles) across, and the Moon 3474 km (2150 miles) in diameter. That makes a ratio of 3.7. The relationship of a basketball (24 cm or 9.4 inches) to a tennis ball (6.7 cm (2.6 inches) works out to a ratio of 3.6. ("Bad Astronomy," Discover at www.blogs.discovermagazine.com.)
For us to get a full moon, the moon's orbit has to pass directly through the Earth's shadow. Usually the moon passes above or below the Earth's shadow. A full moon doesn't really last all night, because the Moon as seen from Earth is continuously becoming larger or smaller (too minutely to be seen by the naked eye. (Wikipedia.)
About once a year the moon is in its fullest phase and closest to the Earth. Then it becomes a supermoon. Still, it won't mess with the Earth's orbit. But it does make higher tides, but not much higher.
The moon and the Earth get cozier because the sun's gravity pulls them together. That's why the moon varies in its orbit. (www.space.com)
So what's the relationship between supermoons, blue moons and lunacy?
"Lunatic" is derived from the Latin, lunaticus, designating the belief that lunacy fluctuated with the phases of the moon. In between are lucid intervals. As Edger Allan Poe remarked, "I became insane, with long intervals of terrible sanity."
Studies have shown that that a full moon, including a supermoon, does not influence human behaviors, or induce extra psychiatric disorders or homicide. Cops supposedly assert that there is more craziness under a full moon. That is most likely a Hollywood myth. Still, people do say it "must be a full moon" when odd things happen.
Of course we know a full moon brings about metamorphoses, like lycanthropy and transmigration of souls, and also ups the number of mediumistic trances. And it hits your eye like a big pizza pie, rendering you amorous.
You would think that a "blue moon" is a very rare occurrence. Actually it refers to a second full moon in a single month, which happens about every two to three years.
According to folklore, there were 12 full moons in a year. A 13th full moon was "blue." This notion was given unfortunate credence in an article in the March 1946 issue of Sky & Telescope, entitled "Once in a Blue Moon," in which James Hugh Pruett relied on his faulty memory to associate the myth with the data from the 1937 Maine Farmers' Almanac. He informed the readers that in seven out of 19 months there were 13 full moons. The semimonthly was called "Blue Moon."
The moon, of course, doesn't turn blue. It may acquire a bluish tint because of certain atmospheric conditions brought about by such terrestrial events such as volcanic eruptions and wildfires.
The earliest known use of the term "blue moon" was in a poem by William Roy and Jerome Barlow in 1528, entitled Rede me and be nott wrothe, for I say no thynge but trothe. The couplet reads, O churche men are wyly foxes […] Yf they say the mone is blewe / We must beleve that it is true. It refers to the fact that priests required laymen to believe in statements that were absurd or manifestly false. (Wikipedia.)
The schedule for blue moons is 2010, 2013 (August 1st), 2016, 2019 and 2021.
As we know from the song sung by the Marcels in 1961, a blue moon is notoriously fickle, watching the lover "standing alone / Without a dream in my heart / Without a love of my own," until the lover beheld his true love, whereupon the moon turned to gold (bom ba ba bom ba bom ba bom bom ba ba bom ba ba bom ba ba dang a dang dang bba ding a dong ding / Blue moon)
A supermoon or blue moon might not affect you, but a golden moon would surely drive you insane.
