This smart device turns your leftover fruit into booze
Wasting food is a terrible feeling. But thanks to Alchema, you can turn your leftover fruit into tasty, alcoholic beverages.
The countertop smart device allows you to choose from a variety of different recipes from its smartphone app to make mead, cider and even wine. Simply add the ingredients, wait for it all to ferment, pop it in the fridge to settle and enjoy.
The app allows you to monitor your cider's progress through its temperature or pressure and also lets you tailor the drink's alcohol content or sweetness to your liking. The Alchema is connected via Wi-Fi, so you can check on your batch of adult juice when you're out of the house. And if something goes wrong (e.g. spoilage due to the temperature getting too high), the app will alert you so you can make the proper changes.
While the appliance will take up some serious counter space in your kitchen, it will also hold 2.4 liters, which comes out to about 3 bottles of wine. With a hefty price tag of $499 — and the additional cost of yeast packets, the Alchema won't be saving you money on booze anytime soon. However, it's a fun way to turn something into booze that you may have otherwise thrown in the trash.
I was able to meet up with the Alchema team and taste four of their homemade ciders, which were all quite tasty. They ranged from a low 3.2 percent alcohol content to 10.8 percent, and each had its own distinct and fruity flavor ranging from very dry to sweet but not overwhelming. The team also made a batch right in front of me in under five minutes. The process is almost impossible to mess up thanks to a scale built into the device that can help you measure out ingredients.
Alchema first launched on Kickstarter in the summer of 2016, where it raised over $359,000 with a target of $80,000. However, the company is seeking additional funding. The unit is expected to ship in the fall of 2017, just in time for apple season.
While you can make cider at home with a YouTube education, Alchema is supposed to makes the entire process easier for someone who may be uncomfortable with a bucket of fermenting fruit in their closet. The process doesn't happen overnight, with cider taking up to two weeks and a batch of wine up to 16 weeks to complete.

Making sure that things work well behind the scenes, results in operations being smoother. We can offer retail solutions to your business, whether large or small.
Reducing power requirements in any retail premises is crucial if you want to cut both your operating costs and environmental impact. The lighting as well as the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) often represent the best chance for making savings. While an integrated electrical and communications system can also save energy, money and the environment too.

Most clients can expect a 17-24 month payback with their installation. Every installation is different, so payback will depend on the age of your installation.
Your business may qualify for an interest-free loan from the Carbon Trust.
Working with you and your suppliers or in partnership with our own, we can manage the whole project from the design, installation, and full integration with your heating, ventilation and cooling systems; as well as handle any ongoing maintenance.
Fully accustomed to working with planning departments, architects, interior designers, building contractors and shop owners, we can handle the design and installation of all types of lighting and telecommunications systems for a single shop, as well as a whole chain of retail outlets.
Poor electrical installations and faulty electrical appliances can lead to fire, which may also cause death or injury to others. Most of these accidents can be avoided by careful planning and straightforward precautions. And that's where TDS Electrical can help.
Your premises' safety is our key concern and so is ensuring your systems are all operating at full capacity with minimal wastage.
All commercial and industrial properties are legally obliged to have their premises tested and certified every 5 years by a qualified electrician. At TDS our fully qualified electricians will conduct all of the necessary tests ensuring you are operating safely and in accordance with the latest BS7571 Wiring Regulation.
All employers and retailers need to ensure their employees and customers are fully protected when using any electrical equipment in their buildings. Our PAT electricians will test your computers, printers, and other small electrical to make sure you are fully compliant.
Fire in your shop or warehouse is any retailer's worst nightmare. You want assurances that every precaution has been taken so if the worst happens, any damage will be minimised.
Our fully experienced and qualified engineers take the same amount of care and attention to fitting a single, mains-operated smoke alarm; as we do to installing the most sophisticated fire alarm system across numerous sites.
Vandalism or robberies can happen. That's why you want the best security system you can afford that is properly installed, periodically tested and is easy to maintain.
Very often we recommend our customers install or upgrade their outdoor lighting as well to make staff and customers feel more secure when it's dark and to discourage crime before it happens.
All of our customers have different needs when it comes to the control of their electrical equipment. Whether it is the simple manual switching on of an individual light, to a network of dimmers, to whole integrated heating, cooling and lighting systems, we have the solution that's best for you.
Working with other experts, TDS designs, supplies and installs energy management systems that automatically adjust lighting and environmental controls as daylight and occupancy changes to reduce building operating and maintenance costs as well as energy wastage.
We can handle your telephone and computer requirements, which often operate off the same cabling as your building controls, alarm and security systems.

Beer Mat Movie Reviews Designed for Those on the Go
As a fan of enjoying a good craft beer with an even (hopefully) better film, I'm always excited to stumble across innovative ways beer and movies converge. Imagine my delight when I discovered the genius of Beer Mat Movies. The twitter page is a witty collection of micro-film reviews written on a single beer mat (AKA beer coaster) for those "on the go". If it don't fit, it don't fly. From recent reviews of mainstream fare like "X-Men: Apocalypse" to kid friendly films like "Zootropolis" and indie horrors such as "The Witch", the extremely concise beer-drinking, film-loving person behind the tweets offers a hilarious new way of analyzing and criticizing film all the while making use of what's under your beer. Keepin' it simple has earned them over 600 followers + counting! As they say, "If you can't sum up your opinion of a film on a beer mat, you're being pretentious." Grab a cold one and check out Beer Mat Movies' twitter to read up on some of their pretty on point, witty reviews.
Misunderstood: Coming of Age in a World Out to Get You
With its deeply saturated colors and its equally bold plot, Asia Argento's "Misunderstood" is a force of a film. Argento returns to the directing chair for the first time in years with this slightly over the top Italian drama that recalls a style of decades past. The story centers around the life of a severely dysfunctional family of artists and their children. In particular, Argento's story of childhood rebellion mostly focuses in on young Aria, the daughter of a drug addicted pianist and a superstitious, abusive actor. An ode to the stresses of growing up in a world that seemingly doesn't understand you, "Misunderstood" can be best described as a grim fairy tale where the only supernatural forces and dangers we face are the people that should love us the most. Though Argento's supposedly semi-autobiographical film thrives off of caricatures and a level of exaggeration within its characters, colour palette, and situations, there's still a bit of sensitivity embedded within the film that keeps it from becoming too over the top or distant. In fact, there's an undeniably cult vibe exuding from this particularly colorful concoction of a film. Highlights are equally both Charlotte Gainsbourg (Yvonne Casella) and child actress Giulia Salerno's (Aria) work. Both display their acting abilities across a spectrum of bipolar emotions, from fearful and loving to manic and everything in between. Salerno's Aria is our tragic hero, constantly bounced from one parent's house to the other, after her mother and father's excessive hatred of each other separates the family. Aria being thrown out from their homes is usually a result of issues born from their inattentiveness or preference for Aria's sisters. Because her half sisters are, in a way, owned by their respective parent, Aria is the sole child that exists as the reminder born from Yvonne and Padre's (Gabriel Garko) tainted relationship. "A mistake", a symbol of regret and hatred, is the resulting identity that Aria bears, and as she continuously navigates a biased world out to get her, she becomes a far darker, more rebellious version of herself. In the end, her final tipping point, after years of abuse from her own family, are her friends and peers' mockery of her life. What we are left with is a swift and brutal end to the story with small traces of false hope shining forth through the credits. Aria's life is cyclical for the time being, so we end her portrait of it the only way we can. Excessive and dark in a world of deep, bold colours and 80s fashion flair, "Misunderstood" is a hodge podge of styles that all come together to tell a uniquely blended coming of age story of a lone girl in a world that doesn't quite know what to make of her. A naive oddity, just like the film, Aria captures the audience and holds our attention with her deep blue eyes and unrelenting hope for someone to love her. As Asia Argento's third directorial offering and an Italian Un Certain Regard entry at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, "Misunderstood" is certainly a product of its own title. It will take open-minded audiences to crave, devour and understand this rainbow hued, sometimes magically unrealistic childhood drama. Available on various VOD platforms, Argento's film of contrasts and edginess creates an imagined world that segue-ways far from reality yet still manages to vividly share with us a world full of very real emotions.

Animated Beer Labels in Motion Bring Beer to Life
Ah, the craft beer boom. Such a wonderful thing. The amount of ingenuity going into the brewing process is one thing, but the creativity being seen on beer packaging and marketing materials these days is taking the industry to a whole new level. Now, I bet you didn't know that when art and beer collide, sometimes things can get...well, a little animated and practically come to life! Imagine enjoying your favorite beers - but in motion! That's what one craft beer lover has been working on for the past couple of years. Trevor Carmick, the creator behind Beer Labels in Motion, has embedded a rather unique flavor of imagination into the drinking experience by animating the very images and words on the labels of his favorite beers. Believe us, it makes for one magical, complementary experience. Impressed, we asked Trevor the story behind his creations: "I started my animations in 2013. They began as a way to test various filters within Adobe After Effects and play around with various techniques I had seen in online tutorials. I had always loved the way cinemagraphs looked and I'd always wanted to create some myself. The only problem is I didn't have a tripod or camera to lug around and capture anything. One day I was looking at a beer bottle and thought, "I could animate the picture on the label and that could be almost like a cinemagraph." I created a couple of them after hours at work (I'm a video editor) because the computer there was much faster than my home computer. My co-worker, #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;" href="http://angulargeometry.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tyler Haywood, saw them and after my 3rd, he finally convinced me to start a blog and post them. I honestly didn't think they'd gather too much attention outside of people who liked craft beer. I was wrong! A couple months later, TIME listed me in their #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal;" href="http://techland.time.com/2013/08/05/the-25-best-bloggers-2013-edition/slide/all/" target="_blank">Top 25 Bloggers of 2013. I still don't consider myself a blogger!" Definitely a well deserved praise. Beer Labels in Motion is a hypnotic and innovative outlet that all can enjoy, whether as a beer-lover or a non-drinker.

"Thank You for Playing" Tackles That Dragon Cancer
While every year new films come into our lives and stir up our emotions, rarely can they affect us in such a raw, uninhibited way. Even from the very first line of its synopsis, you know "Thank You for Playing" is that rare breed of film that you accept is going to unapologetically leave you stunned. Think back to the most personal tragedy of your life. Really dig deep into that grief. Now, imagine going back to that moment and…making a video game about it. Yes, a video game. Bizarre, sure, but there's one couple out there that did just that. As parents of a young boy with terminal cancer, not only did they live with that pain every single day until the inevitable happened, they also transformed their situation by opening themselves up to a creative outlet. What a film like "Thank You for Playing" teaches us is that the absurdity of creating a game about cancer only lasts for a brief moment before it turns into something transcendental - something more. Watching this film introduces us to the fact that creation can become a new coping mechanism, bringing us a beautiful new way of understanding and immortalising a life. Filmmaking duo David Osit and Malika Zouhali-Worrall wanted to chronicle the behind the scenes work that went into the video game "The Dragon, Cancer", created by parents Ryan and Amy Green, as a way to understand and show others how it was to care for terminally ill child, Joel, in his final years. Cutting between scenes of the video game process and footage of home, hospital and family life, viewers fall deep into a strange yet beautiful rabbit hole of emotion. One must wonder, why did the filmmakers make such a personal, private film in the first place? But just like inquiries into the existence of the game itself, it only takes watching a little bit of the film to understand the necessity of telling this story. "Thank You for Playing" is a documentary that goes beyond the constraints of so many video game films before it. That's the ironic nature of its success - its fiction is real. Though it's a film that doesn't beat around the bush in terms of its inevitable outcome, don't be scared of that brutal conclusion. The film brings many other moral questions to light: can art really be a therapeutic outlet? Are creative endeavours for the sake of healing just exploitation of an otherwise private situation? Though I believe you need to watch the film to truly decide that for yourself, there's no denying the honesty exuding from this film, scene to scene to scene.
"Thank You for Playing" was released via various VOD outlets this past March and is absolutely worth the watch. While it chronicles both the creative and mourning process, this film also memorialises the short but profound life of a young child that left behind a legacy far greater than he could have ever imagined.
Review: "Everyone's Going to Die" But Not Quite Yet
Masked by the mysterious identities of its directors and a darkly misleading title, going blindly into a film like 'Everyone's Going to Die' can trigger a confused initial impression. However, British collective duo "Jones" quickly reveal the direction their debut feature will take. From the opening title, where every person that worked on the film is immediately named and given a mass identity, to the surprisingly sweet story that follows, this is a film about raw human connection. Having had its premiere at SXSW, this underrated British indie is finally releasing to U.S. audiences. While the film focuses on the relationship between a young German woman and older English man, the appeal of this film is universal: when you find that rare human connection, it can be the most powerful thing in the world, wherever you are. 'Everyone's Going to Die' takes on many familiar indie quirks but transforms them into something totally new. In this universe, we follow the aimless wanderings of two strangers as they crash into each other's messy lives. Melanie (played by German favorite, Nora Tschirner) is an immigrant living in a small coastal town in England with an absent fiancé. Things get interesting when she meets a mysterious, potential hitman named Ray (played by former carpet fitter and brilliant first time actor, Rob Knighton). Ray has just arrived in town following the death of his brother and has a secret "job" to carry out. It's not until these two meet that they start to question their existence in not only this small town, but in the overall lives they have carved out for themselves. Sharing similar feelings of not belonging but constantly inspiring each other with conflicting opinions on the nitty-gritty of life, this isn't a case of two lost souls having everything in common. This is a case of two lost souls having almost nothing in common but still fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle. It's not about physicality - it's about conversation. That strange, unidentifiable connection between two strangers is what structures the minimalism within the narrative of this film. And it's that concept, coupled with the constraints of a low budget, that allows this strange, whimsical link between the two leads blossom into something totally beautiful and real. Indie Street is happy to present the exclusive U.S. VOD release of this modern British "dramedy". This is an adventure into finding the meaning of comfort and "home", made up of small moments that are evenly paced with brilliance and wittiness. From dead siblings reincarnated as cats to roller skating beavers, televised porn hotlines, and a morbid family play that cleverly delivers the origins of the film's title, the humor is quirky, understated and complementary to a lo-fi script that focuses on character development over filler. It's in the very final moments of the film that you may find your hopes for humanity slightly lifted. Yes, one day we will die. Everyone's going to die eventually. But first, there are many things yet to experience. Memorable duo Melanie and Ray just go to show that life is too short to make the wrong decisions. Give this one a watch - we promise it won't kill you! Click here to watch the film now on Indie Street!
'Lamb' Review: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing or Just Plain
We have all probably struck up some questionable friendships in the unlikeliest of situations. In "Lamb", it just so happens that our two protagonists find their spark through a cigarette. Set within a world that feels like a latter day Lolita, this unsettling film follows the indefinable relationship between two struggling individuals that happen to sit on very different ends of the age spectrum. Unhappiness and spontaneity, amongst other things, are the catalysts that drive a 40-something year old man to deem a friendship with an 11 year old girl as acceptable after she innocently asks him for a cigarette in a dare gone awry. Ross Partridge takes the reins as not only director but actor and adapter of this story based on the novel by Bonnie Nadzam. Is this film a simple matter of identifying what could be a wolf in sheep's clothing or is it a much deeper and innocent portrait showcasing the role of destiny in our struggle to find comfort and acceptance in this world? The premise of "Lamb" is simple on the surface but dark and deeply complicated below the obvious. Having just lost his father and starting to witness the unraveling of his marriage and affair, David Lamb (Partridge) finds himself face to face with a [keyword: very] young girl (Oona Laurance). Her high heels and cool demeanor suggest she is aged beyond her 11 years. From here we witness these two lost souls finding each other in the corner of a desolate parking lot .. and well, you can almost see where this is going tone-wise. A kidnapping joke, or more like role play, will cement the fate of the two and set the wheels of the narrative in motion towards a very unsettling yet necessary and exposed ending. Setting out West to escape the monotony of life, seeking to find something more, some beauty in the world, the two set out for their paradise and a slew of roadblocks to their destiny. A film that is soaking in symbolism, morals, and immoral scenarios, "Lamb" proves that, though you can try to run away from life, bothersome realities will eventually find you again. It makes us ponder - who or what is the real innocent here - who is the real lamb of the story? For whatever sense of relief or anxiety the film's ending may give you, what the film sets up is a scenario that makes us question relationships and the role that society has over defining them. Whether an inappropriate but harmless connection, something down right predatory or simply human desperation for comfort, the open road takes these two on a trip that will affect the rest of their lives. "Lamb", though sometimes lost in the dark confusion of its own plot, is a film well worth watching if only to help us in understanding something necessary about human connections and ourselves.
Getting Lost Down a Trail of Pop Cultural "Crumbs"
Ethiopia-based Director Miguel Llansó has created a debut feature that plays out less like your typical film and more like an unpredictable dream. On screen is a sparse, extraterrestrial looking Ethiopia that worships Michael Jordan, barters over "historical" Ninja Turtle figurines, and tries to figure out the mystery of the dormant spacecraft hovering above them. If there ever was a romantic, post-apocalyptic sci-fi film coming out of Ethiopia that was full of characters hell bent on obtaining pop cultural artifacts, avoiding second generation Nazis and finding Santa Clause, this would be it. An imaginative quest of a film that is certainly a mouthful to even describe, you may be asking yourself, "What did I just watch?", and though far from perfect, the unique edge of this film may be enough to quell your confusions.Our view of this post-apocalyptic world, after the big war, comes through the eyes of Candy (played by Llansó favorite, Daniel Tadesse), the film's petite, slumped hero that believes he comes from another land. As he embarks on a journey to find a way onboard the reactivated spacecraft in the sky, we see him travel through a world both deeply profound and nonsensical, in order to find a way to what he believes is his true home. The country's landscape is disarming and used to its greatest potential, with Daniel Tadesse's Candy working at drawing us even more into this crumbling world. His lover, Birdy (newcomer Selam Tesfaye), is with child and waits for him at home, biding her growing anxieties in a dilapidated bowling alley. Supplementing their story are segments within the film regarding a cocky "antiques dealer". We are introduced to his bartering intermittently throughout Candy's journey, learning the "histories" and anecdotes behind various cheap pop cultural artifacts from the past (AKA our present).It helps to know that the film was inspired by a quote from professor Seifu Yohannes about the end of the world and how all that will remain will be "a series of cheap plastic figurines floating in the stratosphere once everything has finally exploded". "Crumbs" shows this depressing landscape well, where mankind's hopes and dreams will cease to be of any great importance in the end. In this world, human life has lost its value. The survival of mankind is no longer a priority. Left to fend for themselves, they get by from trading random items as if they were great relics of a lost time. Like some voodoo spell, something about this hodge-podge of a film entices you into this very specific dreamscape, despite the disturbing references to what it means for our time.If you're on the hunt for something different, away from the mainstream and rehashed, "Crumbs" may just fit the bill. With a low budget and minimal sources, Miguel Llansó was able to manifest a highly imaginative world out of the alien-like qualities of Ethiopia's landscapes. It's that simultaneously primitive yet futuristic feel that becomes the true heart of this film. Winner of the New Flesh Award for Best First Feature at the 2015 Fantasia Film Festival and nominated for the FIPRESCI Prize at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, "Crumbs" is now available in the US on VOD and DVD. Go ahead, reserve your seat on the spaceship, at least to say you did. At only 68 minutes, it's well worth the unusual ride.

You can't have Noe's "Love" without an
In only a few short years, Franco-Argentine filmmaker Gaspar Noé has become a notorious go-to director for disturbing, boundary pushing material, even brutally so with 2002's "Irreversible". After his recent 2010 psychedelic, drug-infused thriller "Enter the Void", it only seemed fair to anticipate Noé's next offering, a raw film about a love story complete with very up-close and personal sex scenes. However, amongst the slew of melancholic scenes of longing and sex aplenty, complete with all the fixings, "Love" stills manages to come across as one of Noé's more subdued, bridled works. "Love" is a film as potentially titillating as it is aggravating in its mechanical and one note depiction of the fusion of love and intimacy. It's a sex film with an energetic void in place of a heart. A deconstruction of "Love" leaves us with a premise and backstory that is rather simple. Noé sticks our main character, a self-reflexive, American film student named Murphy (Karl Glusman), in Paris. He's an appreciative lover of European culture (and women) but still has the relentless pride and ignorance of an American. As is the natural progression of a love story, boy meets girl. Electra (Aomi Muyock), a freeloving, fiery French artist, becomes Murphy's obsession and the catalyst for his own downfall. When Murphy becomes entranced with the young girl next door (another new comer, Klara Kristin), his life becomes a series of disenchanted normalities, calling for a serious session of reflection. This is where we enter the story. Here, the beginning of the film is the end of Murphy's narrative. In the present day, Murphy, now a father and husband within a loveless marriage with the once tempting neighbor, receives a call saying Electra is missing. Fearing the worse, possibly even suicide, we journey back in time with him and revisit where their relationship (and subsequently his life) blossomed and then suddenly went wrong. Muyock, Glusman and Kristin have no inhibitions in their breakthrough roles as newcomers, and do their very best with the material they were given. With such honesty and raw storytelling, it's hard to say which twist and turn is to blame for the story's faltering progression and tediousness. In various interviews, Noé explains the onslaught of sex within this film is a reflection of some sense of reality. However, when you strip it all down and just look at the story, reality just seems tired amongst all of the gimmick. Perhaps with a film like "Love", one that could haphazardly rest within the mainstream art house genre, its legacy will never be about actual talent. It will live on briefly as a conversation piece, a semi-notorious cult film in a sea of other boundary pushing films of its kind. I, for one, did not partake in seeing this film within its intended theatrical 3D setting. I chose to watch it on the small screen, a personal experience without the constant shame and distraction of watching within a crowd of questionable audience goers. However, the idea of voyeurism quickly morphed into tedious work. At the very end, there's a glimmer of something - a deep sense of loss fills the screen, as Murphy mourns much more than a past girlfriend. He mourns the loss of life and motivation - something that, if touched upon deeper, could have made this a film with far greater impact.
If you can't manage to see the film in 3D or on the big screen (really, don't worry yourself about it), the provocative, luring drama "Love" is available on several VOD platforms, including Vimeo on Demand through its distributor, Alchemy. Noé explains that banning a film (which was the case in some places with "Love") gives it a sense of intrigue and mystery, making people want to see it more. Take that as you will, but go in warned and be prepared: sex, sex, sex, a little story, a touch of melancholy and more tedious sex await.

The Horeke store and a family home built over the water, standing on Manuka poles
Horeke was initially called Deptford after the Royal Navy shipyard in England and was one of the first places to be settled by Europeans in New Zealand, with shipbuilding established in the late 1820s.
The Wesleyan missionary John Hobbs opened a mission at Mangungu, about a mile from the shipyard, in 1828.
Horeke is on the Northland coast to coast cycle track or twin coast cycle trail from Opua to Horeke connecting the Bay of Islands to the Hokianga Harbour. It has become the start cycling towards Okaihau or the end cycling from Opua via Kawakawa, Moerewa and Kaikohe.
Between Horeke and State Highway 1 at Rangiahua are some of the finest tidal marshes in New Zealand. Hundreds of wildfowl and endangered swamp birds thrive in these vast aquatic 'wastelands'.
David Ramsay and Gordon Davies Browne came from Sydney to set up a trading post and shipbuilding settlement about 1826. Three ships were built - a 40-ton schooner called Enterprise, a 140-ton brigantine called New Zealander, and the 394 (or 392)-ton barque Sir George Murray - but the firm went bankrupt in 1830.
New Zealand's first murder trial
New Zealand's first murder trial took place at the nearby Methodist Mission. In 1838 a Maori ferry man murdered a pakeha passenger in an argument over a fare. The man, a mere slave, was tried at Mangungu with the assent of Maori chiefs, and was executed and buried on the low mangrove island opposite Horeke. This was New Zealand's first murder trial. Yet the court had no legal jurisdiction at all. Both, Maori and pakeha put increasing pressure on Britain to formally claim New Zealand, so British law could apply.
Marmon Point is just across the waters from Horeke
By 1825, the Hokianga Harbour had its first white settler. Jack Marmon, known as Cannibal Jack, was the son of a Sydney stonemason. He jumped ship, married a Maori woman and settled near Horeke, across the river at Marmon's Point. There was no white man nearer than the missionaries at Kerikeri. A man of slight build, aggressive manner and quick mind, he lived as a Maori joining in their intertribal fights. He was popularly believed to have 'joined the Maoris in their cannibal feasts'. He died in 1880 and was buried at Marmon's point after a drunken Irish wake.
The old buildings of Horeke were mostly built over water, because at the time there was no land for sale, available for development.
New Zealand's first Pub
The Horeke Hotel is the first Pub ever built in New Zealand. It might not have had a liquor license, but it served the many ship builders working in the first commercial shipbuilding yard in New Zealand, which was situated right beside the Hokianga shore.
New Zealand Post Office
First New Zealand Post Office
Horeke has the oldest Post Office in New Zealand. In the early days it was located in the Horeke Hotel. Later it got its own building (picture above).
This building has been moved from its original location across the road beside the old Blundell Store and is now used as a resource centre.
Mangungu Mission House
Horeke's historic gem .... nestled on the slopes of Horeke, overlooking the picturesque Hokianga Harbour stands one of New Zealand's best kept historic secrets. The Mangungu Mission House is one of Northland's oldest buildings. Completed in 1839, it replaced the original house that had previously burned to the ground.
Mangungu Mission, Horeke Hokianga: The Hokianga Mission House has been moved back from Onehunga and put into its original place
The mission itself had been established earlier by the Rev William White under the Patronage of the Maori Chief "Patuone", a Nga Pui leader. Credit to the elegant Georgian building must go to Rev John Hobbs, a missionary who had been apprenticed to his father - a carpenter joiner and agricultural implement maker in England. These skills came to the fore when Hobbs was charged with the task of designing the mission house and overseeing its construction. Hobbs was clearly a man of many talents. As well as his practical skills, he also acted as governor Hobson's translator at the second signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, which took place at Mangungu Mission on February 12, 1840. Visitors to Mangungu can still see the original table on which the Treaty was signed with a copy of the Treaty on it, and walk through the historic cemetery near the building. Hobbs' workmanship has stood the test of time - and a number of other challenges too. By 1856 the Maori population in the area had declined and Hobbs moved to Auckland with his family, taking the house with him, leaving the mission station unmanned. The house itself was taken to pieces and shipped to Onehunga where it served as a parsonage. In 1972 however, the historic house was returned to Mangungu where it is maintained today by the Historic Places Trust. Mangungu is certainly off the beaten track but it is well worth a visit, it is one of the most important sites for Maori and one of the most beautiful historic sites in New Zealand.
Chapel at Mangungu (Horeke)
Church at Mangungu, Horeke, Hokianga Harbour
Next to the Mangungu Mission House stands the little chapel looking over the shore of the tranquil and picturesque harbour. The original church, which could take 800 people, was demolished in the late 1800 to build mill workers' cottages in Kohukohu.
The present chapel is the disused Methodist church from Kohukohu which was shifted across the water to Mangungu and re-sited nearby the mission house.
First Commercial Shipyard in New Zealand
The story of Horeke shipyard - Deptford as it was sometimes called - is one of shipwreck and seizure, bankruptcy and death. Yet so far as actual shipbuilding was concerned the enterprise was a notable though short-lived success. Promoters of the venture were prominent Sydney merchants, Thomas Raine and Gordon D. Browne: David Ramsay, Raine's partner in other undertakings, seems also to have had an interest. Superintendent of the yard was Captain David Clark.
Drawing by Augustus Earle's: water colour of Horeke 1828
A small piece of land on the foreshore at Horeke was bought from Muriwai, chief of the Popoto tribe, in November 1826. In October 1827 the first vessel from the shipyard, the 40-ton schooner Enterprise, reached Sydney under Clark's command. Returning to Hokianga after a second voyage under another skipper, the Enterprise foundered in a storm north of Hokianga heads on 4 May 1828 with the loss of all hands.
The Enterprise was not the first European vessel launched in New Zealand. Over 30 years earlier, in January 1796, a small vessel called Providence sailed from Dusky Sound where she had been built - begun in 1792-93 by a sealing gang and completed by another party whose own vessel had been wrecked at Dusky in 1795; and in January 1826 the 55-ton schooner Herald was launched at the Paihia mission station in the Bay of Islands, only to be wrecked at Hokianga heads, but without loss of life, two days after the Enterprise disaster.
The next vessel laid down at Horeke was the brigantine New Zealander, 140 tons, which may be seen on the stocks in the above sketch, redrawn from Augustus Earle's watercolour of Horeke in March or April 1828. The New Zealander arrived in Sydney on her maiden voyage in December 1828. In March 1829, on her second voyage, Clark made the Tasman crossing in six days which earned for the brigantine the reputation of the fastest sailer out of Port Jackson.
The largest of the Horeke built vessels was the barque Sir George Murray (named after the Secretary of State for the Colonies). Arriving in Sydney on 18 November 1830 she was immediately seized by customs officers for sailing without a register. New Zealand not being a British possession, the New South Wales Government had refused a register to the New Zealander (although one had earlier been issued to the Enterprise and possibly also to the Herald), the question being referred to the British Government and the vessel meanwhile being permitted, at her owners' risk, to sail between New Zealand and New South Wales. After the seizure of the Sir George Murray the matter was again referred to Britain. By this time however Raine, Browne, and Ramsay were all bankrupt, their failure having followed Raine's inability, because of the severe drought in New South Wales, to fulfill his government contracts for the supply of bread and milk. At an auction in Sydney in January 1831 the Sir George Murray, together with the Horeke establishment where she had been built, was sold for £1,300 to Thomas McDonnell, an East India Company commander and formerly a lieutenant in the Royal Navy. Risking the want of a register, McDonnell fitted out the barque, and on 30 March 1831, with his family, servants, and a number of settlers, sailed for Hokianga. A "register" supposedly issued to him later that year by the Hokianga chiefs Patuone and Te Taonui stated that the vessel was "three hundred and ninety two 64/94 Tons English measurement", with two decks and three masts, 109 ft in length and 28 ft 8 in. in breadth, barque rigged, with a standing bowsprit, square sterned, carvel built, no galleries, and a scroll figurehead.
Although the New Zealander had apparently already changed hands, she remained under Clark's command until 10 April 1831 when, after an eightday crossing and with the usual cargo of sawn timber, pork, and potatoes, Clark for the last time sailed her into Port Jackson. The brigantine, of which he had once said he would much rather part with life than see her destroyed, then went into the whaling trade, and Clark returned to Hokianga where he was drowned six months later at the age of 65. His infant son grew up to become Hori Karaka (George Clark) Tawhiti, member of the House of Representatives for Northern Maori.
In January 1833 the New Zealander in her turn was seized in Sydney for sailing without a register. Her owner entered into sureties for double the value of vessel and cargo and once again the question of registers for New Zealand built vessels was referred to the British Government. Apart from a Pacific cruise later that year, the New Zealander remained in the Sydney - New Zealand run until wrecked on the Mahia peninsula on 7 August 1836. Meanwhile the Sir George Murray was rumoured to be sailing under a foreign flag. In 1833 she obtained an East India Company clearance at Macao, and this was endorsed in 1836. Her subsequent fate is unknown.
Several small craft may have been built at Horeke during McDonnell's reign, but the name of only one has survived, the 35-ton schooner Tui. During his stormy 12 months (1835-36) as honorary Additional British Resident, McDonnell sailed in the Tui to Kaipara, a voyage which he claimed opened that harbour to European shipping. McDonnell was primarily a timber trader, and throughout the 1830s Te Horeke - to give it its correct name - was the principal trading establishment on the Hokianga, until the house on the hill, originally built for Clark, then occupied by Gordon Browne and afterwards McDonnell's home for over 10 years, was burnt down in 1842.
This plate can be found in Horeke at the entry to the parking of the Horeke Lodge. It mentions the superintendent David Clark, who's head stone is in the graveyard of the Mangungu Mission House.
McDonnell was a keen horticulturist and among his other introductions to New Zealand was the Norfolk Island pine, the well known trees at Waitangi and Te Wahapu in the Bay of Islands being the sole survivors of a box of seedlings given by him to Mrs Mair in 1836 or 1837. The large pine in front of the Horeke hall was probably planted about the same time, in what was then McDonnell's garden.
The shipyard plaque stands as nearly as can be determined on the site where the Sir George Murray was built, the Enterprise and the New Zealander having been laid down a short distance upstream. In the old Wesleyan mission cemetery at Mangungu, about a mile down harbour, the tombstone of the first superintendent David Clark, may be seen lying flat on the grass. The quotation from Lamentations I:12 is still appropriate: Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?
The Oldest Headstones in New Zealand
There are many ancient tombstones in the old Wesleyan mission cemetery.
Two crew member of the ship "Roselyn Castle" drowned in the Harbour on the 30/05/1829.
In the olden days, sailors often were not able to swim. Many of the head stones are talking about drownings, often due to consumption of alcohol.
The locals still use that graveyard to bury their dead.
Tombstone of the first superintendent, David Clark. His headstone can still be visited. It is lying flat on the ground with the inscription from Lamentations I:12
Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?
This is the headstone that has a legible date. It is the earliest date recorded
The Base of McDonnell
Base of McDonnell, Horeke, Hokianga Harbour
In 1830, Lieutenant McDonnell took over the Horeke shipyard and set up his empire there. He was the leading settler on the Hokianga Harbour. His large house and garden were fortress-like, protected by cannon. While in England he managed to get himself appointed Additional British Resident to New Zealand, a position that greatly enhanced his muscle on the Hokianga Harbour before he was sacked.

EORI system in Ireland
The EORI system is a part of the "Safety and Security Amendment" implemented by the European Union (EU), which was created with the purpose of establishing a unified system throughout the EU for companies which have to file declarations at the Customs Authorities situated in each member state.
The Customs Division is the authority responsible for assigning the EORI number and the procedure is a straightforward one that will usually allow applicants to receive their EORI number in a short amount of time, in most cases within 24 hours or even faster when they opt for the application via the cCustoms Helpdesk.
Because the company's EORI number is a simple extension of the tax registration control, the economic operator who engages in the registration process is not required to present addition documents apart from the ones already required for tax registration control. Our lawyers in Ireland can give you more details.
The online application is usually the simplest procedure, however, it is not available to all economic operators in the same manner as they may not have an existing account with the Revenue Online System. While it is possible to create an account and follow the steps as per usual, one should seek proper guidance according to its status and whether or not that operator is already registered with the Customs Authorities. When the registration is already made, the application is submitted under the Customs and Excise options according to the details on the eRegistration form. We remind those interested that when they are not registered with the Revenue Online System they will need to handle additional steps.
The following video offers a short presentation on the EORI registration requirements applicable in Ireland in 2022:
According to the EU's legislation, the EORI number is compulsory for any company established in Ireland, as well as for natural persons who are involved in customs activities in this country. Under this legislation, any company or natural person involved in customs activities will receive a unique EORI number, which will be issued by the local Customs Authorities.
Irish companies which do not operate commercial activities under the customs legislation do not need an EORI number, as the activities are carried only within the territory of Ireland; our Irish law firm can provide you with more details on the matter. Our firm is also able to assist individuals who need to solve personal matters, such as those related to divorce in Ireland.
EORI number in Ireland
Irish EORI numbers are submitted by the Irish Revenue to the European Commission, which keeps the EU's database on the customs activity across Europe. Irish EORI numbers are attached to the Value Added Tax (VAT) number, which is compulsory for all companies in Ireland.
As a general rule, EORI numbers in Ireland are identic with the VAT numbers and are identified by the following rule: the use of the prefix "IE" and a number comprised of 7 digits. Economic operators in Ireland are required to submit their EORI numbers on the Single Administrative Document at the Irish Revenue.
All EORI numbers can be checked in the online database. It should be noted that after the UK's withdrawal from the EU, only Northern Ireland EORI numbers can be checked, as per the Northern Ireland Protocol. There are three options available for interested parties and they include checking is an EORI number is valid, make a search on the EORI Sharing Authorities and and searching on EORI Registering Authorities. If you have further questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to our attorneys in Ireland.
What entities need an Irish EORI number in 2022?
The EORI system is required for any Irish legal entity that is involved in trading activities with countries outside the EU. Ireland benefits from an online system, established by the Revenue Commissioners, where entities that need an EORI number can register. The online registration service for EORI operators is the Revenue Online Service (ROS) and in order to register here, the applicants need the login details provided by ROS and the digital certificate issued by the same service.
The obligation for having an EORI number is also necessary for EU companies, but it is necessary to know that natural persons involved in trading operations are also required to have an assigned EORI number. This is prescribed under the regulations of the Customs Code Implementing Provisions. However, the national legislation of each member state provides the definition for what a natural person means and the legal understanding of a corporate body.
It is necessary to know that the EORI number can also be applied to international organizations or to non-governmental organizations. Although these types of entities are not involved in commercial activities, they may conclude, in specific conditions, customs operations and this is why the EORI number can be required. In this situation, such entities can be considered economic operators and the allocation of the EORI number is imposed by the law, even in the case in which they benefit from full exemptions on the customs duties.
For the scope of the EORI number, the following definitions are commonly used:
Economic operator: a person involved in activities covered by the customs legislation/Article 5(5) of the Union Customs Code;
Person: a natural or level person or any association of persons that are not legal persons but have the capacity to perform legal acts as recognized under the Union or national law;
Established in the territory of the European Union: for natural persons, any person who has his/her habitual residence in the customs territory of the Union; for legal persons, having the central headquarters or the permanent business establishment in the customs territory of the Union.
The permanent business establishment is a fixed place of business where the company has both the human and technical resources permanently present and through which the customs-related operations are carried out in part or in their entirety.
It is also useful to note for the purpose of EORI registration that the current provisions state that when an economic operator has several establishments throughout Member States, it will only use one EORI number assigned by one of these states. The team of experts at our law firm in Ireland can provide more details on how this applies in case of branches and/or subsidiaries. For example, when foreign company, for example one from the United States, has offices in Ireland as well as other EU countries such as Denmark, it will use only one EORI number and it may apply for it with the authorities in Ireland, as briefly described in this article.
Are there any requirements for non-EU traders in Ireland?
As a company established outside the EU involved in trading activities with member states of the Community, there are special requirements concerning the EORI number. Thus, a non-EU company will need an EORI number when it has to submit documents such as: the customs declaration, an entry summary declaration or a exit summary declaration. The following will also apply:
• non-EU companies registered as Authorized Economic Operators (AEOs) are required to have an assigned EORI number;
• the EORI number must be revealed by the AEOs when completing the AEO application form;
• the application for the EORI number can be registered in the country where one of the customs procedures are required for the respective type of company;
• thus, if a company lodges a customs declaration with the Irish customs, the EORI number can be obtained in this country;
• the same applies when signing the exit and entry summary declaration or when requesting the AEO status.
What are the parties involved in the usage of EORI numbers?
As a member state of the EU, Ireland follows the applicable legislation prescribed by the European Commission (EC). The EC represents in this case the central structure of the EORI system and it has the role of gathering the information sent by each member state, Ireland included, on the EORI numbers registered across the EU.
Another party involved in the EORI system is represented by each member state of the EU, which has the right of appointing the local institutions that can regulate at a national level various matters related to the EORI number. The economic operators involved in trading activities in Ireland or in another member state have the personal responsibility of starting the registration procedure, in order to obtain an EORI number.
Third parties are also involved in this process, in the sense that, as users, such entities are allowed to verify if a certain EORI number is active. This can be done through the European portal where all the information of EORI numbers is stored. Our lawyers in Dublin, Ireland, can tell you more about this procedure.
What is an entry summary declaration in Ireland?
An entry summary declaration in Ireland refers to a legal document that has to be completed by entities trading goods and products. The document, as its name suggests, needs to be completed and filed when the trader shows the intention of entering the territory of an EU country. Through the entry summary declaration, the EU customs verify if the carrier complies with the legislation in its designated field (it establishes the level of risks associated with the respective products).
The entry summary declaration needs to be lodged with the Irish authorities with a certain amount of time prior to the actual import of goods in the country; the requirement to file this document at the level of the EU is generally imposed only once, at the first EU customs authority where the economic operator will enter the Community area.
What is the exit summary declaration?
Another requirement is for goods that are taken out of the customs territory of the Union. This is the obligation to lodge the EXS or the exit summary declaration. This is done irrespective of the final destination of the goods and it is part of a risk assessment and the general customs control before departure. However, the exit summary declaration is lodged when the re-export declaration is not required.
An example of a situation during which this declaration is needed is when the goods are moved overland between two EU Member States via a third country unless a safety and security agreement is in place between the EU and those countries. It also applies for goods that are taken outside of the EU customs territory after they have been in temporary storage for more than 14 calendar days. Our lawyers in Ireland can give you more information on the situations in which the EXS is required.
We also highlight the fact that the EU has security agreements with countries such as Norway and Switzerland and in this case there is a waiver from presenting the EXS. This is based on the fact that the signatory states apply security rules that are the equivalent of those that are currently in force in the EU.
The EXS is lodged by the carrier or by his representative.
According to the Irish Central Statistics Office, the seasonally adjusted trade surplus decreased by 1.7 billion EUR in October 2020. Other data show the following:
the exports value was 12,263 million EUR in October 2020;
the exports value in October 2020 was 6,758 EUR;
the exports value in September 2020 was 13,480 EUR and that of the exports 6,275 EUR.

Our lawyers provide a wide range of services to companies and individuals alike, such as those related to divorce in Ireland, among others.


In case you are wondering, caedis means slaughter, and occiderunt means they killed. Also, in case you are wondering, those are not beautiful words.
I have a multiple choice tip of the week for you today. When it comes to Latin, I suggest two paths.
Tip # 1: Postpone learning the language until after you have learned a modern language like Italian, French, or Spanish. If you never get to Latin, you will at least know Italian, French, or Spanish.
Tip # 2: If you decide to go with Latin first, get into reading as fast as you possibly can. Take a year or two to learn the grammar of Latin, and then start with the easiest book, the Vulgate. There are many reasons to start with the Vulgate. I spend a lot of time talking about these reasons in my book Via.
Here is a bonus tip. If you can skip Caesar's Gallic Wars (or as I like to call it, Caesar's Gallic Bore), skip it. If you decide to read it, be prepared to read about Romans slaughtering Gauls. And be prepared to learn lovely words like caedis and occiderunt.
Of course, if you have to read the book (because modern academia just can't seem to drop dumb ideas from the late 1880's and because you are stuck with those antique decisions), I can help you. Just click on the schedule button below, or on this link: http://dwanethomas.wpengine.com/schedule/. If you are looking for the Caesar class, chose "Henle 2".
I will be teaching Caesar's Gallic Bore again next year. Can't decide yet if I will be calling it Caesar's Gallic Bore, Caesar's Gallic Snore, or Caesar's Gallic Chore.
Maybe I will put it to a vote.
Anyway, I hope you are having a happy Saturday!

The pride of 'Victoria'
Victoria Theatre, Victoria Concert Hall and Clock Tower regained their prominence. (Photo: URA)
Singapore's Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall restoration project has been awarded a 2015 Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Architectural Heritage Award. The Victoria Theatre was built in 1862, and the Victoria Concert Hall in 1905. Improvements to the buildings have made these major cultural and architectural landmarks newly relevant and resplendent, adding to their aura of Neo-Classical grace and grandeur.
T.Y. Lin International Pte Ltd (TYLI) was responsible for the civil & structural (C&S) and mechanical & electrical (M&E) design of the project for the National Arts Council (NAC). TYLI, working in conjunction with NAC, developed a preservation scheme to overcome technical challenges associated with protecting the aesthetic features of the heritage structure and upgrading it to modern day standards.
Restoration of the complex included the excavation and construction of two basement levels within the conserved theatre facade walls that were founded on shallow brick pedestals. One of the key structural challenges in delivering the restoration works was to underpin part of the theatre facade wall, to enable the basement structure to extend under the Old Parliament Lane and the Atrium area. The old foundations of the conserved structures were strengthened in order to transform both spaces into modern facilities to cater for world-class performances.
The 2015 URA Architectural Heritage Awards presentation ceremony was held on 19 October 2015 at the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall. "We are truly honoured to have been involved in preserving Singapore's built heritage through the restoration of Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall. It is particularly fitting that the awards ceremony is held at the venue, allowing for the careful and sensitive restoration work to be showcased," said Teh Hee Seang, chairman of TYLI Singapore. "The project was technically challenging and demanded great coordination, team work as well as extensive civil and structural engineering skill and expertise to facilitate the additions and alterations while minimising impacts on the preserved historic structures. It is a great honour for the project to receive the URA Architectural Heritage Award recognising our efforts and the efforts of the whole team."
The annual URA Architectural Heritage Awards competition, now in its 21st year, was introduced to accord recognition to owners, professionals and contractors of buildings with preservation and conservation status in Singapore, which are well-restored and/or exhibit architectural/urban design excellence. The awards serve as an incentive to professionals to pay particular attention to high-quality restoration, and innovative and sensitive new additions and alterations to conservation buildings. It also provides a platform for benchmarking high-quality preservation or conservation buildings.
*Winners of the URA Architectural Heritage Awards 2015 will be published in the Jan/Feb 2016 issue of SEAC.
*Detailed information on the Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall restoration project is featured in the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of SEAC (page 64): http://issuu.com/southeastasiaconstruction/docs/seac_janfeb2015


As this example illustrates, traditional valuation models don't necessarily work for small businesses and professional practices. Instead, business appraisers and brokers typically recommend using an alternate metric for appraising small businesses known as "seller's discretionary cash flow" (SDCF).
Public market data is less relevant for a small business that functions primarily as a "job" or steady source of income for its owner(s). Entrepreneurs go into business for different reasons than investors buy public stock. Small business owners appreciate the inherent values of being their own boss, employing family members, passing on a legacy to their heirs and expensing discretionary items (such as country club dues, business trips, company cars or season tickets to their favorite sports teams). In exchange for all these benefits and perks, small business owners are generally happy to give "sweat equity" so that their ventures might succeed.
When estimating the value of a small business or professional practice, it's important to recognize the nature of the business. Is it a pure investment or a job that provides income and discretionary perks to you, your family and friends? If the latter description more closely aligns with your investment goals, then SDCF is generally a more meaningful metric of what the business is worth to you.
It's important to identify and disclose everything that could be relevant to a potential buyer, including all discretionary expenditures which you incur in the business. Although these may be legitimate expenses, such as business related meals with customers, they might not be expenses that a new owner would choose to incur. All benefits for the owner and other employees should be documented, so potential owners can see not only what benefits are available, but also what the approximate annual costs of these benefits are.
Once you've computed SDCF, you can compare the business to other companies in the same industry (with comparable size, financial performance and geographic locations) that have recently been sold. Look at each comparable transaction and compute its SDCF-to-value multiple. These pricing multiples will give you a good sense of what a particular business might be worth in the current marketplace.
SDCF multiples derive value from all of the cash flows that are available to an individual business owner. Unlike methods used to value businesses that are pure investment plays, the SDCF method captures an owner's return on investment and reasonable annual compensation. Both elements are valuable to the owner-operator of a small business.
Small business buyers are often focused on providing sufficient income for their livelihood; this is similar to dividend returns that stock investors receive each year. Conversely, sellers are interested in how potential buyers will perceive their business as an investment; this is similar to the appreciation in value that public stock investors hope to achieve when they someday sell their stocks. Over the long run, every buyer eventually becomes a seller, regardless of the size and marketability of the business.
Small businesses can be hard to value, because they don't fit the traditional valuation model that computes a simple return on investment. Business appraisers and brokers recognize that SDCF is a meaningful metric for owners and prospective buyers of small businesses. They often choose it over more sophisticated methods — such as discounted cash flow techniques and stock pricing multiples — that are based on public stock returns.
Whether you're buying or selling a small business, it's important to seek outside professional assistance to determine its current value in the marketplace based on SDCF.

As iron accumulates in the body — either as a result of the thalassaemia itself, or of blood transfusion therapy, or both — the main iron-carrying protein in the blood, transferrin, gets filled up ( saturated) with iron, resulting in increased circulation of non-transferrin bound iron which is very harmful to the body. Iron also accumulates in the tissues, bound to protein storage molecules called ferritin and haemosiderin.
The non-transferrin bound iron is unstable. That means it can easily gain or lose a negative charge, called an electron and in the process, produce harmful substances called free oxygen radicals, which can cause extensive damage to the body's tissues.

The Story of FlattenTheCurve.com: How I Took a Hand-Registered Domain to a Million Page Views in Seven Days
September 16, 2020 September 15, 2020 // Sean Markey
In early March 2020 I hand-registered a domain name and built a one-page website that saw over a million page views in just seven days. This is the story of how powerful the right domain can be, combined with amazing content, and absolutely perfect timing.
Over the weekend of March 7th-8th, I started to see an image being circulated on social media about the importance of "flattening the curve" of the budding COVID-19 crisis in American. You've seen it a thousand times by now–it's this one:
I thought it was brilliant–it captured a fairly complex idea extremely simply. I thought it was an idea that should be shared. So I did what anyone addicted to domain names and marketing does: I checked to see if the domain name was available.
Sunday night, March 8th, I bought the name via the Namecheap iPhone app (which, is risky for someone who gets a little dopamine kick from registering a new domain, feeding off the energy of an idea newly-born, with all the potential in the world before it). My idea at the time was just to throw a site up that just contained the image, to make it easy to share. I had no real ideas on what to do with it beyond that.
The very next morning I was scrolling through my Twitter feed instead of working and came across something Retweeted by one of my favorite authors and a solid Twitter follow, Kelly Link (shout out to Kelly Link–go and read her short story collections immediately). The author of the tweet was Julie McMurry, a public health expert based in California. In the absence of strong guidance from public officials, she put together an amazing resource that gave people that, looking back from September 2020 to this past March, seem simple and obvious, but at the time there was definitely an absence of simple and useful info:
Coronavirus is everyone's problem. We need interventions that flatten the pandemic curve globally. I've put together a comprehensive and evolving document summarizing the rationale and preventive measures that everyone can take. #flattenTheCurve https://t.co/cS3DCm5Nri
— Julie McMurry, MPH (@figgyjam) March 7, 2020
Julie put all these ideas into a Google Doc, and published the public link so people could view it. When I visited the doc it was obvious how popular it was from the amount of "anonymous animals" viewing it.
Like that, but there were hundreds.
I had an idea–what if I could take this Google doc that was getting some traction and just paste it on FlattenTheCurve.com — it was the perfect content for the domain name.
So I cold-DM'd Julie on Twitter. After a brief introduction that I was a marketer and was looking to be helpful, and that I also owned the FlattenTheCurve.com domain name, here's how the convo went:
So that's what I did–I just copied the entire doc, pasted it into WordPress and spent about an hour fixing all the formatting issues.
Because I spend my days obsessing over traffic to my portfolio of websites, and because I knew I'd eventually write up the story of this project (even before seeing how it actually unfolded), I took screenshots of the traffic at various times over the next few weeks.
The first half-day the site was live it saw several thousand visitors–driven mostly from Julie's tweets and the message she put in the Google doc that said, basically, "this content has moved to FlattenTheCurve.com."
That Tuesday and Wednesday, though, traffic exploded. It went viral on Facebook and hit the front page of HackerNews (getting as high as the number two spot). I worked my ass off to keep the site from going down. Several very generous people on Twitter reached out to help, and Dreamhost and Cloudflare provided some direct support that helped the site stay live for the most part. As I specialize in SEO and am not really all that technical, I was really over-my-head when it came to making smart decisions about keeping the site live through the onslaught of traffic.
Traffic peaked on Thursday, March 12th–the day after the NBA announced it was suspending its season due to the coronavirus. Here's a screenshot with the highest number of "live visitors" I managed to grab, to show you what kind of traffic this site was getting:
1500-1700 active users on the site was sustained for probably half of that Thursday. That's 300-400 visitors per minute, I'd never seen anything like it before in my life.
Aside from just the sheer largeness of that number, it was amazing to see Julie's content resonate with so many people–people who were, at the time, just desperate for some guidance. There was a lot of uncertainty still in early March.
Here's a look at the traffic from the first seven days:
3/09 – 7,618
3/10 – 156,603
3/15 – 72,437
The General Takeaway
So what's the point of all this? Yes, as a traffic-obsessed marketer in my day job, I love digging into the numbers and seeing "up-and-to-the-right" analytics. For me, personally, it was incredibly satisfying to see something I helped create (though Julie obviously did all the heavy lifting in creating the content and previously working for years to earn the authority as an MPH that would help people trust her) spread as widely as it did, and, I sincerely hope, helped people reduce their risk–or avoid altogether–coming down with or spreading COVID-19.
It's also nice to see a good domain name be used for its "highest and best purpose," to badly paraphrase Michael Cyger. As Elliot Silver pointed out in a blog post he wrote about seeing #FlattenTheCurve trend on Twitter, and then seeing the website being shared on social media with a real authority as the author:
Typically when a hashtag is trending, someone scoops up the matching domain name. Sometimes the domain name is put up for sale, and other times the name is somehow monetized. For #FlattenTheCurve, it looks like the matching FlattenTheCurve.com was just registered, and it looks like it is in the right hands.
Although FlattenTheCurve.com is registered under privacy at Namecheap, it looks like the website is being operated by Julie McMurry, MPH
I'm super grateful I was able to grab this domain and connect with Julie to create something that so clearly spoke to a lot of people in a very short time.
This whole thing is such a great case study for demonstrating the power of a great domain name that exactly matches a trend, an ideal, or a single word that encompasses an entire brand, and it's a good illustration of why domain names are worth so much AND why they sell for so much.
I spent the time writing this up because I think it's a neat story for marketers, SEOs, and domain name investors. I also wanted it all documented somewhere, so I don't forget the little things about it.
The SEO/Marketing Takeaway
Because I'm so deeply invested in SEO and marketing, it becomes the window frame and the panes of glass I see the world through. My personal philosophy when it comes to building the portfolio of sites I create, grow, and monetize as my "day job" is to do things as naturally as possible. Yes, there's a lot of time spent on ensuring search engine spiders can crawl, understand, and categorize the sites I build so they can serve them up to curious searchers, but in creating content and then building awareness I try to take a "natural" approach to things. No tricks (mostly), just write content that is highly optimized and informative.
To do this in a way that not only reads as "natural" or "how sites actually operate" but is also highly effective, I spend time studying successful sites–whether that success is in being shared widely, getting a lot of links and attention, or ranking well for tough keywords. In the case of FlattenTheCurve.com it became all three.
So here are the lessons I took away from this wild ride:
Create Content That Resonates With People
You can have the best domain on the block, but if you create content that no one cares about, isn't relevant, or just kind of sucks you'll never get traction. Yes, this domain was a perfect exact match riding the very first curve of an exponential trend. But the content that Julie wrote was simple, straightforward, and really struck a chord with people.
Find Win-Win Opportunities
I was 100% unqualified to write anything on the subject of coronavirus, public health, epidemiology, etc. but Julie absolutely was qualified. She was, however, too busy, and (I'm assuming but don't know for sure) not really experienced in internet marketing like I am. The Google doc she used to write the initial information was incredibly slow and laggy due to the sheer number of people accessing it. It definitely wasn't the ideal form of what it could be–I provided that with the domain. So I couldn't have created something like this without Julie's content, and vice versa. Together we reached almost a million people, though, and that's pretty god damned cool.
If Your Mission is Something People Can Get Behind, They Will
I simply could not keep the site online by the second and third day–it was being visited by too many people all at once. Several people on Twitter stepped up to help me figure out next steps, and several businesses contributed their time, expertise, and products to help.
Dreamhost bumped up the bandwidth to help with the increased traffic.
Cloudflare engineers helped me set-up and troubleshoot issues with getting Cloudflare set up and implemented properly.
Slack gave us a "paid" account to help coordinate everything, for free.
Nico and his organization Instedd stepped in and took over running the site–including all technical issues and coordinating translations, which saved me because I was pretty far over my head…
Several people from other countries helped translate the text into something relevant for them fellow citizens, and literally translated it into their language.
All of that, for free. It was amazing!
Obviously this is something that won't happen as readily with, say, a cycling affiliate site or something. But if you build a site or platform that truly helps other people, that resonates with them, and promotes ideas they believe in… I mean, you never know.
What Does A 'Natural' Backlink Profile Look Like?
One thing it was interesting to observe was the quality of links that started rolling in–links that make angels weep and Eric Ward, the Patron Saint of Link Building watching over us all give a knowing smile.
In a very short amount of time, the site got links from publications like :
Go.com
FastCompany.com
The site is currently a DR 61 with over 1.6k referring domains:
Most sites with a backlink profile like that have been around for decades and have gone through several iterations. I think it's super rare to see a site so young (just a few months!) get those kinds of links from those kinds of sites. It gives you a chance to see what a natural, focused anchor text spread looks like:
FlattenTheCurve.com doesn't rank for very many keywords–it was never meant to (and so it isn't the BEST of case studies to use in building your own sites)–but it ranks on the first page for "Flatten the Curve" among several impressive authority sites like the NYTimes and LiveScience.com.
I asked Julie if she'd like to wrap this post up, and I think she wrote the perfect summary of things. Here's what she said:
Although flattening the curve looks different today than it did in March (more sustainable risk reduction, less indefinite lock-down), it is still a vital message–one which has become ubiquitous now, so traffic dropped off.
The site is still live for reference since it will be a while before we can leave this plague safely behind us.
Well, that's it.
