"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.

Amazon Releases Fire Phone, But Will It Have Any Impact?

By Peter Roesler

Pres > @webmarketing007

Amazon came out this week with its Fire Phone, which was being touted as the next great thing in mobile devices. But we aren’t sure the phone is going to match the hype.

The Fire Phone doesn’t seem to be doing anything really groundbreaking on the pricing front. It’s $199 with an AT&T contract, which puts it right in the middle of the mobile device pricing structure.

Also, the new phone has some cool 3-D aspects but we do not think it is going to have a big effect on the market. Take for example the Kindle Fire tablet. Those don’t require any contract and are a lot cheaper than the iPad, but what has their impact really been on the market? Amazon sold six million fewer of them this last Christmas season than the year before. Meanwhile, Apple sold 26 million iPads in the same timeframe.

Amazon, which recently started same-day service in LA, has some other issues it’s going to have to deal with:

Without a contract, it costs $650, which is more than 50% higher than a similar Google Nexus, and almost the same as the well established Samsung Galaxy ($700) or even the iPhone 5S ($750). Amazon sold the Kindle Fire tablet at a much more aggressive price point, and it still is only 2% or less of the tablet market. This sucker is heavy! It is the thickest and heaviest of any other smart phone in its price range. It does not have a lot of apps, only about 240,000, and many of them are not well rated. Many of the apps also are outdated. By comparison, Apple has 1.2 million apps in its App Store.

Some experts have said that the new smart phone is more than anything, simply an extension of the Amazon online presence. It’s more a way to make buying at Amazon easier, but it’s not really a revolutionary device. Even if it does moderately well, it’s probably not going to be any threat against Apple.

Amazon also has move into other markets recently, with its collaboration with Twitter to sell merchandise, so we will see what happens in the near future with the Fire Phone. Maybe it will surprise us.

A word from our in-house expert:

Dustin Kessler, Viral Launch’s lead photographer specializing in Amazon photography with a decade of experience in commercial media and advertising, stresses the importance of video quality.

“Our goal at Viral Launch has always been to tell compelling visual stories about your products and how customers can interact with them, but sometimes due to the limited amount of photos a seller can use on Amazon, not all of a product’s features can be utilized and shown fully in those photos.”

“A product video is not only a great way to showcase your product, but if it is done Right , putting a video onto your listing can catapult your product to another level – both on and off Amazon. As with many visual tools, the video can also hurt the product if not done correctly, so investing wisely and not going for the cheapest options available is something I would strongly encourage for sellers who are serious about making their product and listing stand out from the rest of the crowd.”

Sicilian Defence Dragon

In 1813, the English master Jacob Henry Sarratt effectively standardised his English translation of the name of this opening as "the Sicilian Defence", referring to an old Italian manuscript that used the phrase, "il gioco siciliano" ("The Sicilian Game"). The Sicilian was fairly popular for much of the nineteenth century; Louis-Charles Mahé de La Bourdonnais, Adolf Anderssen, Howard Staunton, Louis Paulsen, and Carl Jaenisch all played it with some consistency. In the ninth edition of Modern Chess Openings, Walter Korn noted that the Sicilian "received three of its earliest practical tests, and a big boost in popularity, in the 1834 MacDonnell [sic]–La Bourdonnais match, 1843 Staunton–St. Amant match, and the 1851 London Tournament. " Staunton wrote of the Sicilian, "In the opinion of Jaenisch and the German Handbuch, with which I coincide, this is the best possible reply to 1. P-K4, [1. e4 in algebraic notation] 'as it renders the formation of a centre impracticable for White and prevents every attack. ' "
