We love the birdsong of spring, the fledglings in summer, the deep V of geese in autumn, the bright spot of red cardinals against white snow.

Arrival - The Ultimate Trivia...

Film Trivia Metaverse

ARRIVAL
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY DENIS VILLENEUVE
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Arrival is a 2016 science fiction drama directed by Denis Villeneuve. The film follows linguist Dr. Louise Banks, portrayed by Amy Adams, who is recruited by the U.S. military to help communicate with extraterrestrial beings after twelve mysterious spacecraft land on Earth. As Louise and physicist Ian Donnelly, played by Jeremy Renner, attempt to decipher the aliens' complex, non-linear language, they grapple with global tensions and the potential consequences of contact. The film explores themes of language, time, memory, and the nature of human perception, offering a deeply philosophical take on communication and the possibility of future connections.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Director Denis Villeneuve and screenwriter Eric Heisserer created a fully functioning, visual alien language. They developed a 'logogram bible,' which included over a hundred different fully operative logograms, seventy-one of which are featured in the movie.”
“The circular alien language was created by Montreal artist Martine Bertrand. The artist's son also created Hannah's drawings.”
“While the shape of the alien ship was decided early on, Denis Villeneuve had difficulty imagining an interior that would allow humans to navigate such a steep and vertical design. The decision to turn gravity sideways was made as a solution.”
“Ted Chiang, the author of the story on which the film is based, approved of the movie. He stated, 'I think it's that rarest of the rare in that it's both a good movie and a good adaptation.'”

Herb Gardening 101 - Cultivating...

Gertrude Harris

There’s something uniquely satisfying about stepping outside your door and clipping a sprig of fresh rosemary for your roasted potatoes or plucking a handful of mint to stir into a summer drink. Herb gardening is one of the most rewarding ways to connect with nature, flavor your meals, and surround yourself with scents that calm the mind and uplift the spirit. Whether you're working with a sprawling backyard or a sunny windowsill, growing herbs is an accessible, enriching hobby that brings beauty, flavor, and even wellness into your daily life. 
This book was written with both beginners and aspiring green thumbs in mind—people who want to grow herbs but aren’t quite sure where to begin. Maybe you’ve tried to keep a basil plant alive on your kitchen counter and it didn’t last the week. Or perhaps you’re dreaming of a lush herb spiral filled with lavender, oregano, and thyme. No matter where you're starting from, this guide will walk you through every step with clarity, encouragement, and practical advice. 
Herbs are among the easiest plants to grow, yet their uses are incredibly diverse. They elevate meals, support natural remedies, perfume the home, attract pollinators, and even deter garden pests. What’s more, they ask for very little in return—a bit of sunlight, well-drained soil, and the occasional trim. With a little knowledge and care, your herb garden can flourish indoors or out, in containers or raised beds, on a balcony or backyard plot.
