"Snowflake Bentley"



By Jacqueline Briggs



Most children are captivated by snow, but how many go on to make it their lifework? The beautiful biography "Snowflake " Bentley," winner of the 1999 Caldecott Medal, tells the true story of a Vermont farm boy who was mesmerised by snowflakes. Wilson Bentley was fascinated by the six-sided frozen phenomena, and once he acquired a microscope with a camera, his childhood preoccupation took on a more scientific leaning. Bentley spent his life taking countless exquisite photographs (many that are still used in nature photography today), examining the tiny crystals and their delicate, mathematical structures. Jacqueline Briggs Martin tells this tale with simple, graceful prose that will engage children's imaginations. Edifying and Snowflake-Scattered sidebars offer more information about Bentley's methods and snowflake science. The artwork of Mary Azarian, whose 19th-century hand-press illustrations decorate the charming "Barn Cat," shines once again in "Snowflake Bentley," with woodcuts that reveal an appreciation for detail as well as for the man who loved snow. The lovely illustrations and equally fresh text will inspire and comfort youngsters (and grownups too) who wish they could capture snowflakes all year long.

The world's most popular portable gaming device is even more fun. Now available in black and white, iPod touch includes iOS 5 with over 200 new features, like iMessage, Notification Center, and Twitter integration. Send free, unlimited text messages over Wi-Fi with iMessage. Record HD video and make FaceTime calls. Visit the App Store to choose from over 500,000 apps. iPod touch also features iCloud, which stores your music, photos, apps, and moreÑand wirelessly pushes them to all your devices.





FaceTime. Oh, I see what you're saying.

Video calling on iPod touch means your friends can see what you're up to, when you're up to it. With a tap, you can call someone on an iPhone, iPad 2, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi. And come face-to-face with even more fun.



Tap for a more instant, instant message.

Take "LOL" to the next level and actually see friends laughing. Or bring "XOXO" to life when you blow someone a kiss from miles away. FaceTime on iPod touch makes it possible. FaceTime works right out of the box--just enter your Apple ID and email address. Or create a new email account just for FaceTime. Using FaceTime is as easy as it gets. Say you want to start a video call with your best friend over Wi-Fi. Just tap the FaceTime app and find her entry to start the call. An invitation pops up on her screen asking if she wants to join you. When she accepts, FaceTime begins. It's all perfectly seamless. And it works in both portrait and landscape. See how much fun you can have.



Two cameras make either side its fun side.

IPod touch has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime. It has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm's length. So it always presents you in the best possible light. Which is especially handy when you're talking to someone who's more than just a friend.





Retina Display. Seeing is still not believing.

Thanks to the Retina display, everything you see and do on iPod touch looks amazing. That's because the Retina display's pixel density is so high your eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels. Which means images in games, movies, and photos pop off the screen. Text in books, web pages, and email is crisp at any size. And everything is sharper. No wonder it's called "cutting edge."



When iPod came on the scene years ago, it was all about music--and it still is. Enjoy your favorite tunes, whether it's on headphones or wirelessly over AirPlay.



More wow per inch.

Behind the screen of iPod touch, there's some serious technology going on. By developing pixels a mere 78 micrometers wide, Apple engineers were able to pack four times the number of pixels into the same size screen found on earlier iPod touch models. This many pixels packed this close together--326 per inch--make graphics and text look smooth and continuous at any size. Prepare to be glued to the screen.



LED backlighting.

The Retina display includes LED backlighting and an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen for the best viewing and battery life possible. So you can focus on more important things. Like destroying aliens.





Games + Apps. What iPod touch was made for.

It's hard to be bored when you have instant access to over 500,000 apps. Available in almost every category, they're just a tap away at the App Store. And when it comes to games and entertainment titles--over 100,000 and counting--no other platform comes close to iPod touch. Which probably explains why it's the world's most popular portable gaming device.



IOS. The world's most advanced mobile operating system.

Running the show on every iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad is iOS. It lets you browse, read, and see everything just by touching the screen. It also includes all the fun, powerful, and innovative built-in apps you use every day, many times a day.

You can even choose to go up against people you don't know in a multiplayer game. So get in the game. And get your friends in it, too.

From scary to silly: five times Trump was associated with pop culture



Sales numbers of the dystopian novel "1984" have spiked since Donald Trump took office. Here are four more ways the US president has recently invoked memories of popular entertainment.





'Keep America great'



Trump's presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., has applied to trademark the phrase he would use for a potential 2020 presidential run. It's "Keep America Great," which of course refers to the omnipresent "Make America Great Again" slogan that Trump used in his successful 2016 campaign. But "Keep America Great" sounded familiar to movie buffs for an entirely different reason.



The phrase was the tagline for the 2016 horror dystopian film "The Purge: Election Year." It is set in a world where crime has significantly decreased in the United States thanks to the "purge," a government-sanctioned 12-hour window during which all crime is legal and citizens go around violently killing each other as a release for the hatred pent up inside them.



"Election Year" takes place in the run-up to the 2040 presidential election. Before the film was released in the summer of 2016, writer-director James DeMonaco admitted he was influenced by the US presidential campaign.



"I think there’s a lot of representation of everyone who’s in the game right now, from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton to Bernie Sanders to John Kasich," DeMonaco told "Entertainment Weekly" magazine. "I think the audience will have a lot of fun saying, 'Oh, that reminds me of something Donald said!'"



'1984' and the administration's 'alternative facts'



On Wednesday, January 25, George Orwell's "1984" was the number one bestselling book on amazon. com. The dystopian novel centers on a totalitarian government that changes history and facts as it sees fit to control the people.



Critics have slammed the Trump administration for presenting inaccurate statements as the truth. The connection between "1984" and Trump first entered mainstream American discourse when he claimed that millions of illegal votes were cast in Hillary Clinton's favor - an unfounded statement he could not back up with any proof.



Most recently, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway used language that seemed to be straight out of the famous book. The administration had claimed that the crowd at Trump's swearing-in was the biggest at any inauguration ever, which crowd counting experts had clearly disproved with the help of overhead photos. Conway claimed the false statements were simply "alternative facts."



In "1984," leadership changes basic information on the drop of a hat, for example which nation the main country, Oceania, is at war with. The population is whipped up into a hateful frenzy against archenemy Eurasia when suddenly, it's announced that Eurasia is an ally - Oceania is at war with Eastasia, of course, and always has been.



The crucial aspect, as noted by protagonist Winston: "There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place."



Man of the year



In 2006, Robin Williams starred in "Man of the Year," a comedy about a talk show host and comedian who runs for president. At first, the political establishment doesn't take his career seriously, but it soon becomes obvious how much support he has among regular people. The trailer even announces "It's definitely not politics as usual." Sound familiar?



The name of the movie is also a title Trump would have liked. The US president was "Time Magazine's" Person of the Year in 2016, but complained in a speech that it should really be called Man of the Year.



May the odds be ever in your favor



A longer-standing comparison has been drawn between the rise of Trump and Suzanne Collins' novel, "The Hunger Games." The story is set in Panem, a world where a rich few rule over the rest of the people with the help of a reality TV show called Hunger Games. Each of Panem's 12 districts has to send two children who will battle each other until only one is left alive. A best-of is aired on TV daily and is mandatory watching for everyone.



From 2004 until 2015, Trump produced and hosted the reality TV show "The Apprentice." Because of that, he has been called the first "reality TV president," a moniker that would also be fitting for President Snow from "The Hunger Games."



The titular games are about providing good entertainment. Viewers can send the contestants gifts like food or weapons. To receive this crucial support, the teens have to put up a show. The winner of the Hunger Games isn't necessarily the strongest participant; it's often the one who was entertaining enough to win over sponsors. Several political pundits have said the same about the US presidential campaign.



Trump in Springfield



Even "The Simpsons" have referred to President Trump - long before he was elected in the real world. In 2000, the animated comedy did an episode set in the future, where daughter Lisa Simpson is president of the United States. She has to deal with a US economy in shambles.



"As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump," Simpson tells her advisors.



The show's creator Matt Groening explained in October 2016 why they had decided on Trump as a fictional president all those years ago: "Back in 2000 Trump was, of course, the most absurd placeholder joke name that we could think of at the time."
