Title: Vassa in the Night
Author: Sarah Porter
Publisher: Tor Teen, 2016
Genre: YA Fairy Tale Retellings, YA Fantasy, YA Magical Realism
This review can be found on my Blog, TeacherofYA's Tumblr, or my Goodreads page
My Review:
I was lured in by the beautiful cover…I'll admit it. I'm a coverwhore. I'm pathetic.
Now, I'm not saying the book was bad. No. Not gonna say that.
The book…was confusing. But I guess that's magical realism for you, right? Took me three days to come to a conclusion about this book. I had to figure out a way to feel about what I just read. Parts of it were very cool; parts of it were gross. Parts of the book had me lost…
The best way to describe it: The Emperor had no clothes. We all just thought he did. Do you know what I'm trying to say? Well, maybe it's best if I go right into the description and you might understand what I'm trying to say.
Vassa lives with two sisters from mixed parentage. She carries a little wooden doll, Erg (the doll chose her own name and that's what she came up with) around with her. Erg is always hungry and is a kleptomaniac. The sisters blame Vassa for the missing items: Stephanie gets mad when Vassa denies it, and Chelsea thinks it's a cry for help. One night, after her locket goes missing, Stephanie gets really angry at Vassa. She decides to make it seem like the light bulbs all went out and they need to buy more. And she expects Vassa to go buy some.
Now, at this point in the story, we are told that nights have been getting longer. Everyone can feel it, but the sun still comes up every morning, so there's really nothing anyone can do but remark on it. There's a prologue that explains it, but I'm not going to spoil the whole book for you. Let's just say night becomes personified…which is kinda cool.
So Vassa has to get light bulbs, and the only store open in Brooklyn last midnight is a creepy dancing store (yes, a dancing store) called BY's, owned by an old crone named Babs Yaga (This reminds me of the original fairy tale of Baba Yaga). When Vassa leaves, Chelse tries to talk her out of going…because everyone that goes in to the store only comes out as a head on a pike. Supposedly shoplifters, the customers are on display for all those who dare venture in to this IN-convenience store…that dances…on chicken legs. I was already confused by now.
So Vassa goes in…pissed that her sister Stephanie (all us Stephanies get back raps) would purposely send her into a dangerous situation. She sings the song that gets the store to let her in, and minutes later she's among the aisles of BY's. Severed hands attempt to tuck products into her pocket, but she gets them out before Babs can see: Vassa makes a case that she can't be considered a shoplifter if the stolen items are still in her hand. Babes considers this and tells Vassa she won't cut her head off, but she must work in the store for three nights…and she can't go home.
These three nights will be the most challenging nights of her life: she notices that a strange motorcyclist circles the lot over and over, forever trapped. Erg lets Vassa know that there's more to the store than meets the eye (really? The dancing chicken-legged store and the heads on pikes didn't give that away?), and that Vassa is the only one that can set things right. But she's set up for failure from the beginning…what is really going on a BY's? And why does Babs keep telling Vassa she's only half a person?
Is It Clasroom-Appropriate?
I guess so. If you want to focus on magical realism, there is a case to be made for this book. Conveniently, Tor Teen included a study guide along with the book for classroom use at the end of the book.
Some examples from the back of the book (I saved them in case I ever decide to use this book for teaching purposes…this is only a couple examples…some are spoilery so I didn't want to include them, and there were A LOT:
Research and Writing Activities
WRITE: Vassa's journey begins when leaves home to buy lightbulbs at BY's. In the character of Chelsea or Stephanie, write a journal entry describing your feelings immediately after Vassa has left the house, noting whether you think Vassa is acting naïvely or intelligently and if/ how you feel a sense of responsibility for her departure.
DIAGRAM: The author creates an almost telescopic setting for her novel, beginning with Night, narrowing to Brooklyn, then closer in to a neighborhood, and ultimately into dreams and memories. Create a diagram of the most important settings in the story and annotate each point with key events that take place in that setting. What was the most surprising or revealing discovery you made as you completed your diagram?
MIXED MEDIA: Vassa's half-and stepsister are distracted by a BY's television advertisement. Using clues from the story, and your imagination, make a video recreation of the advertisement to share with friends or classmates.
RESEARCH AND CREATE: Who is Baba Yaga? Is she kind or cruel? Is she one person or three? Why does she live in such a strange house?
Go to the library or online to research answers to the questions. In the character of Baba Yaga (in first person), write a poem, song lyrics, dramatic monologue or other theatrical piece beginning with the words, "I am."
WRITE: Has reading Vassa in the Night changed your perspective on how your family's past impacts your sense of self? Write an opinion piece, using an interpretation of the novel as your basis for exploring the reasons it is good to know your family history and ways to keep this knowledge in perspective as you develop your own personal identity. LIST: List at least eight events, characters, or images found in both the traditional Vassilissa tale and the novel. (If desired, also read other Russian folktales, particularly "The Firebird," to find other shared matter.) For each list entry, note how the author reinterprets the notion for a contemporary reader and setting. (Note: This exercise is best done after completing "Before Reading" activity #3.)
As I said, just a couple examples, which I appreciate that they included.
Age Range:
Lexile.com suggests 13-18, and I think that's a pretty good estimate. I don't know if younger students will understand all the underlying "philosophical" questions posed in the book, and though there's no swearing or sex, there is a lot of violence. So be prepared for that. The actual Lexile score is 840L, which is high (as I said, probably because of the "deeper meanings" involved), but there's no HL, so I guess Lexile doesn't consider the gore to be mature subject matter. I probably would think older or advanced readers best for this book, as even I struggled with it.
End Result:
Ugh. Do you see what I mean yet about my statement, "The Emperor has no clothes?" Let me elaborate here…
So I feel that Porter thought she was writing a magical book with deep themes. Ok, I'll give her that. It's got magic, and there's some stuff at the end that makes an impact on the reader involving Vassa and her mom. Great. But I also think this is one of those scenarios where the book is overly pretentious. It acts like it is better than it is. Maybe it's the magical realism, though I think many authors pull that off well. Remember, the Emperor was apparently wearing rich robes and just no one could see them…until a little boy pointed out that the Emperor was really just buck naked.
So I mean…you might read this and think, "OMG, this is brilliant! Wow!" I read it as, "OMG, wtf is going on? Why…how…what…huh?" So my final decision is to give Vassa in the Night ★★★☆☆. I kept reading, but I just didn't get it. I don't see the clothes. Maybe you will…?
How did y'all feel about Vassa in the Night? Is Porter a genius, or just a weirdo with poetic intentions? Tiny people parties, bleeding swans, flying eyeballs…an acid trip gone bad? Or utter brilliance, and Porter is a misunderstood genius? Feel free to weigh in! 🤔

Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Same problem. I am ridiculously over powered with my HP Laptop, and this program hangs and hangs. Removed and reinstalling now. If this doesn't fix the problem, this cam is going back to Amazon.
I will not spend $700 to edit on my phone. GoPro is no longer the only game in town.
Fix this, guys.
Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Also i have this same problem even trying to add files on my ssd does not work.
I did call about this before they told me i could try it in many different ways in the end of this conversation they told me i should buy a cardreader.
But i think they are wrong the software is crap.
When you connect youre GoPro to the pc it should only show the card even when the gopro is turned off.
My quess is they want it to make it to beautifull.
Make it simple let it show like a USB stick copy paste and be done with it.
And i wont start about what pc i have its over kill for something simple like this.
So GoPro make it simple like a USB stick and delete that other **bleep** software im really done with it.
Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Hello @bennyd0, @megastoke51055, @toughbeach50, @wnsslegend22, and @yvesg361,
Thank you for your feedback. Our team is looking into this. We will keep you posted as soon as we have new information. Thank you for your patience.
Best regards,
Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Hi GoPro team. I am having the same issues. I'm running a new fast build (specs below). GoPro Quik is unsuable. All I can do is import from my Hero 6. I can't play any 4K content without it freezing. When I play the files directly from Media Player Classic, it's awesome and smooth. That means I can't use the GoPro Quik editing/create function. Even without 4K content, the Create function lags so much that I can't select that right spots in my videos or move them around on the timeline. It's really horrible. Please help. Thanks.
Gtx 1080 (8GB)
Coffee Lake i5 unlocked (Liquid Cooled)
Samsung m.2 SSD
16GB Corsair Vengeance (3000 Mhz)
Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Same problem here on my ASUS Zenbook i7 8Gb, Gforce 940M 2Gb, 1Tb SSD. Unusalbe with footage from my Sessions 5.
Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Thank you for sharing particular observations from your devices.
@bluedawn13652. See if the issue that you are observing is related to some limitations in playing 4K content tagged as HEVC file through this discussion.
@rikponne - When you say unusable, does it mean that you are not able to view your footage, or access created mode? Although it may not exactly be crashing, but see if having multiple graphic cards on your computer could be causing the issue. Here is a suggested fix.
You can always reach out to our Support team for a more personalized support, this is in consideration that the issue may be related to particular settings on your computer.
Best regards,
Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Thanks. I forced GoPro Quick to run using the integrated video adapater, and this had resolved the problem.
Re: Super slow GoPro Quick for Windows 10
Cool! Thank you for sharing, @rikponne. Good to know it worked on your end. Stay stoked and have fun using your GoPro!

The List
21 comments:
That'll have to wait for sabbatical. I have an equally long list of shit I have to read before the end of the month. I vaguely recall reading because I wanted to, but the memory is old, grainy and in black & white.ReplyDelete
Do we get extra credit for this? Or do we just get brownie points in the great academic wheel of karma?ReplyDelete
Wow. That's a LOT Of books, and some of them are LONG. You, clearly, are not a dabbler (i.e., quitter) in the way that I am. You really know how to commit to a project. I don't think I would ever finish them all, esp. the ones I didn't like.ReplyDelete
But I would be very interested to know which ones you liked the best, Dr. No. Will you share? Or are you going to tell me to read them all and decide for myself which ones I like? Hmmm?
Proflike: Whew, it took me YEARS (but yeah, I finished off quite a few once sabbatical kicked in)ReplyDelete
Evenshine: You get inducted into a secret society that I can't tell you about.
GEW: I was VERY tempted to quit a few. But I made this little announcement because I can't help but to want to talk about the experience, so expect a breakdown of the good, the bad, and the ugly sometime.
Oh come on, Dr. No! You've got to give us more than that! What was great? What sucked?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 10, 2009 at 2:50 PM
Yep, I agree with BS: List 'em! Rate 'em! Give us dirt!ReplyDelete
Hold on! It's a lot of books, I mean there's the ones that sucked, ones that were pulpy, ones I loved, old books, new books, dude books, chick books, who the fuck voted this one prize worthy books, high school english class books, I'm embarrassed I don't like/love this book books, shit. Just hold on, its a lot to think about.ReplyDelete
Now can you tell us? Okay, are you ready now? Have you figured it out yet? Are you ready?ReplyDelete
How 'bout now?
(Just channeling my inner four-year-old for you.)
Is your room clean?ReplyDelete
This is actually a very good idea. Curious: how long did it take you?ReplyDelete
I like this idea! Looking at a list makes me realize how embarrassingly few Pulitzer winners I have read. What I really want to do now is work my way through the Hugo (and/or Nebula?) Awards, which strikes me as more guaranteed fun, more manageable, and (most importantly) more likely for me to actually finish before I wuss out.ReplyDelete
The longest book I've read recently is Secret Seahorse. I found the ending a bit predictable, but overall it's worth the read.ReplyDelete
You hero! What a feat!ReplyDelete
I started reading the Art of War in my lab during incubation's, ect.ReplyDelete
....SO MUCH FUN....to watch the looks and whispers.
- AnonymousNovember 11, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Prof-like, do you have Secret Seahorse memorized yet? I hear there's an upcoming recital.ReplyDelete
Great book!
You finished Secret Seahorse?! I could never make it past the interminable whaling exposition. I have to ask, what was the seahorse's secret?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 11, 2009 at 4:01 PM
1. Congrats.ReplyDelete
2. You now have a plethora of future blog posts broken down by the category you just listed.
3. We won't stop bugging you until you rank at least a few of them.
4. Aren't you glad you told us so that we could bug you?
5. Can you start a new secret society for people who maybe have read, like, five of those books?
6. Congrats again.
- AnonymousNovember 11, 2009 at 4:02 PM
ps: my vote for first category to explore: "who the fuck voted this one prize worthy books"ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 11, 2009 at 7:43 PM
You're my hero. I can't even finish the Caldecott list. But I *love* GEW's helping me rename my quitting as dabbling.ReplyDelete
I'm with Ink. The first of your dozens of posts should be the wtfvtopw list.
The Seahorse's secret is that it's antisocial with everything but it's own kind, with whom it's happy to hang. Of course, it's not nearly as overt about it as that damn Hidden Hippo.ReplyDelete
I'm with Ink and Nap! The wtfvtopw List!!! Get crackin'!ReplyDelete

Ive always loved my red wine, and when Im not working I can open a bottle too many. I love to cook, so its one for me and one for the casserole. I would consume a bottle of wine on my own of an evening and then literally pass out.

Recently I visited Scope's Community Services in West Norfolk as they celebrated their first anniversary.
Sara Brown, who is the Community Organiser, matches volunteer befrienders to disabled people who would like to get more involved in their community. The service helps people to do things locally including accessing community activities, travelling independently, and making new friends.
Speaking to a number of people who had benefited from the service helped me to understand how they had gained in confidence from having a volunteer befriender. Tom, who attended the one year celebration event, having built his confidence, is now going out after school for the first time in ages.
The volunteers too said that they enjoyed making a difference to the lives of those they befriended. The age range of the volunteers was impressive with them ranging from those in their 20s to 60s.

From nurses to doctors to health care executives — and everyone in between — the job market in the medical field has tightened since 2007.
"For the first time in a decade, our undergraduate nursing graduates have had difficulty in finding positions or in obtaining a position in a specialty area in which they prefer to work, such as pediatrics, oncology or cardiovascular," says Terry Olbrysh, director of marketing and communications at the Arizona State University College of Nursing and Health Innovation. "As the recession continues, nursing graduates' job searches have taken longer. However, there is currently, and will always be, the need for health care, and our job market is still very strong compared to other industries in Phoenix."
And the need for educational programs for both new and veteran health care employees continues to reach new heights.
In fact, according to Olbrysh, enrollment in ASU's health care and health promotion graduate and doctoral programs has reached record levels at more than 400. And Sanford-Brown College, which provides education in allied health care and related fields designed to prepare its graduates for related employment opportunities, just launched its first campus in the Western United States in Phoenix due to the continuing opportunities for health care graduates.
"When we launched our Phoenix campus in October 2009 with our medical assistant and pharmacy technician programs, the response was overwhelmingly positive," says George F. Fitzpatrick, president of Sanford-Brown's Phoenix campus. "In fact, we quickly knew there would be a need for associate programs, as well as Spanish-language offerings, to better arm our growing student population and to better serve the community at large."
In fact, in January, after just a few months in the market, Sanford-Brown expanded its offerings to include a medical assistant program in Spanish, as well as a specialized associate degree program in cardiovascular sonography. Offered during day and night sessions, and completed in as little as 70 weeks, these programs are designed to help those who are still working in other industries or at other full-time positions.
The College of Nursing and Health Innovation at ASU echoes Sanford-Brown's success and opportunity. With one of the broadest nursing and health curriculums in the nation, the college is seeing record enrollment in multiple career track opportunities.
"We offer nursing, health promotion (i.e., nutrition, exercise and wellness, and health sciences) and interdisciplinary programs, such as the master's of clinical research management and (master's) of healthcare innovation, and all are seeing success," says Linda Mottle, director of the center for Healthcare Innovation & Clinical Trials. "And we are also developing a new tri-university clinical and translational graduate certificate online, a new MS in regulatory science and health safety, and some online continuing education, self-learning modules for community clinical professionals who want to learn how to conduct clinical research in their practices."
Those already in health care related fields also are finding new opportunities with several programs. Some of the most popular programs offered through ASU include:
Master of Science degree in clinical research management — an online program that prepares graduates to lead complex global clinical research operations at multiple types of employer settings in the rapidly growing clinical research industry.
Master of Legal Studies — a one-year graduate program that can provide health care professionals with interdisciplinary study in law and medicine. By choosing law classes that are of particular interest, an individual can develop substantive knowledge of law, as well as analytical and problem-solving skills necessary to understand both the underlying theory and practical applications of law in the ever-evolving health care industry.
Juris Doctorate — where health care professionals can focus their legal studies on health care. In addition, candidates can pursue simultaneously a joint MD degree through the Mayo Medical School, a Ph.D. in psychology in conjunction with ASU's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, or a master's in health sector management with the W.P. Carey School of Health Management and Policy.
"We also have a significant number of attorneys who would like to specialize in the emerging field of biotechnology and genomics, so we now offer a Master of Law degree in biotechnology and genomics — the first-ever degree program focused on the growing intersection of law and genetic applications, such as pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine, genetically modified organisms, forensic evidence, gene testing, gene therapy, cloning, stem cells, and behavioral genetics," says Gary Marchant, executive director and faculty fellow at the Center for Law, Science & Innovation at ASU's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.
The Center for Law, Science & Innovation bridges law and science by fostering the development of legal frameworks for new technologies, and advancing the informed use of science in legal decision-making. The center facilitates transdisciplinary study and dialogue among policy makers, academics, students, professionals and industry.
In addition, the center houses the Public Health Law and Policy Program (PHLPP), which brings together scholars, practitioners and other partners to focus on critical issues concerning law, ethics and public health.
"Profound issues of law and policy arise from the exploration, development and implementation of public health goals and objectives in society," says James G. Hodge Jr., director of PHLPP.
Topical areas of interest for the program include:
- Legal preparedness in response to H1N1 and other public health emergencies.
- Public health implications of national health care reforms.
- Vaccination laws and policy.
- Child and adolescent health in schools.
- National and state obesity laws and policies.
- Expedited partner therapies in response to sexually transmitted infections.
- Volunteer health professionals and emergency legal preparedness.
- Mental and behavioral health legal and ethical preparedness.

Global exclusive by James Wilkinson in Dubai
Joost Heymeijer, known to many in the Australian hotel scene as the man who set-up and successfully launched Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa in the New South Wales Blue Mountains for nine years, has quite a job on his hands now at one of the world's largest airlines.
Since moving to Dubai in September 2015, Heymeijer has held one of Emirates' highest and most important positions in the company as the Senior Vice President of Inflight Catering – Service Delivery.
The best way to describe Heymeijer's role is if you turned an airplane upside down, anything that would fall out he is responsible for, from cutlery to Dom Perignon Champagne (Emirates is the world's largest buyer of champagne on the planet and one of the biggest global wine purchasers), orange juice, duvets, pillows and tissues.
Emirates serves over 50 million meals a year across the airline's luxury First, Business and Economy cabins and not only does he need to ensure the quality remains up there with the world's best airlines, he also needs to ensure the wines are top shelf, the juices are fresh and the cocktails from the A380 onboard bar are on trend.
To find out how that's all achieved, Spice caught up with him for an exclusive video interview in Dubai recently.


text: So, with Dr. Seuss' birthday just gone there was an outpouring of Seussian content all over the web. My favorite was posted over at BuzzFeed where they listed a series of redesigned Dr. Seuss covers to reflect the depth of the issues he covered in his tales for children (and adults). These covers remind us once again that behind the rhyme and unique illustrations was a man with some very strong messages to convey. And that they are still very relevant to us today.

I'll tip my hand.
If I tell you something and you say "Wait, let me write that down" I'm going to think you know what you're doing and you're someone I can rely on.
The truth is we all have thousands of things coming our way everyday. To simply say, "I'll remember that" doesn't give me a lot of confidence that you will.
I think if I had to hire 10 people out of 1000, I'd start narrowing it down by the people who write down things they need to remember.
I know you have a lot of techy options available to you. But start writing stuff down and see where it takes you.

Thank you for leaving your comments here or on Facebook.
You will never find a better person to take care of your doggie. Amy is simply the best ��Posted by Marta Ivy on Monday, August 14, 2017
Most likely you heard this a million times.
Why should you write a good comment? And why take the time to post it on our site?
Well certainly the most powerful way to make our blog grow is by getting testimonial from real people about our service.
It sounds easy right?
Well the truth is the many people make it difficult...
How? Well they make a few mistakes.
Please understand that praising SLC Dog Sitter with a bunch of positive words will not benefit our company.
If you leave a random testimonial that basically counters what ever is on our site will not be beneficial and google will see it as spam and possible block the comment.
Are you confused about what a natural testimonial looks like?
Oh by the way posting backlinks on our this page will most likely be deleted. That was an old school trick on trying to get natural backlinks of days gone by.
We will review and delete these types before posting them.
As you can see with Marta's testimonial. She was very direct and too the point which is a legitimate posting on this site.
If you are a well intention blogger that spends you time writing testimonial , to be clear this is no longer a google compliant way of getting back-links to your site.
The funny thing is the so called Guru's are constantly saying that writing testimonial on various blog and leaving your link in the post is a way to generate traffic off of other people's site.
The dirty little secret is they never tell you how exactly to do it correctly.
If you would like additional training on SEO or building backlinks a great resource would be to visit. http://jaynamy.com/
We are sure you have seen the sucky poorly written testimonial that seem to almost be unrealated to the content.
Well in reality, google understand this and actually takes your blog's google juice away from you for posting poorly written, unrelated posts.
There is a secret we can share with you. Feel free to grab your 7 Steps to success on leaving great testimonial and building strategic SEO on your blog. Visit grab-......com/
Three things you can do to get testimonial approved.
1- Be authentic
2- Don't use a avatar that is not an actual person.
3- Don't leave lame ass testimonial that are unrelated to the site you are posting on.
4- Don't make it generic. Actually read a few of the posts and post a testimonial according to the site's information.
5- Don't use embed code. This will be flagged as spam on google and will most likely have your site / blog band in a very short period of time.
6- Don't make it a sales pitch. The algorythyms that google is using can read what you are writing and interpret this and seize the tone and tenor of your post/testimonial .
7- Make it relevant...
Would you ever go on a date before reading the person's profile intently? No of course you wouldn't.
It would be the same here on posting a testimonial on our website. Oh by the way if you are spinning your testimonial with unrelated words, they will not be posted either.
Just because you post a 499 word spun testimonial that is used on 48 different sites, is very easy for Google to see you are a spammer.
8- Last but not least, don't repeat the same thing the post or article is talking about.

Having drunk soldiers for gate guards will do that. This is the end of Babylon as far as reigning kings. Then Darius takes over and the Medes and Persians reign (as noted in Daniel 2). However, archaeologists could not find Belshazzar if their life depended on it. Outside the Bible, that is. The Book of Daniel was the only historical reference for this king. We had, from archeaology, a complete list of the last kings of babylon and the kings of Persia who took over. Belshazzar was absent from the list. In fact, Nabonidus was the last king of Babylon. So the archaeologists said that Daniel had to be wrong. He was historically inaccurate. In doing this, they made two mistakes: 1) They attacked the champion on a lack of evidence (the bible has always been right and will always be right and is eventually vindicated);... read more

Interview with Andrez Bergen @ The Next Best Book Club
"This particular yarn is one that's bubbled away since it surfaced in a short story I wrote in the late 1980s. That short story was about six hand-written A4 pages in length, and was basically the dream-sequence from the existing novel; in that original tale, however, it was anything but dream-like.

We have a rather large and complex real-time simulation system, with many millions of AI agents, distributed to an unknown amount of hosts (>100). Today the output consists of static reports and graphs and a very rudimentary live view of the current state of the simulation using GDI+ Everything is written in C# and we use VS 2017 Pro. We are now mainly looking for some kind of graphical platform to handle the visualization of the simulation, and since Unity also uses C# it seems like a god candidate. Everything we have read so far indicates that Unity should be run as a stand alone process, and that Unity is the main application, and that you can extend functionality in unity by scripts, and external dll:s. We would rather have it the other way around, that is, if possible we would like to load Unity as a dll, and then tell Unity what to show and in what way to show it. We would like to have events fire back from Unity to our distributed agents. At the same time we want to offload and take full advantage of as much functionality as possible in Unity. For example, if possible, we would like to replace the internal physics system we have today with PhysX, and if possible, integrate that as well with Unity and our distributed agents. 1. Is anything like this possible with Unity? 2. Are there any conceptual big-picture architectural documentation available on how to use Unity in a scenario like this? 3. Is Unity a good solution for this, or is this outside of the intended use of Unity? 4. If Unity is not the right tool/platform for this, then any suggestion of what might be?

The wine is elegant yet supple, a silky texture with good acid balance and smooth tannins on the finish. Would happily cellar for 5-7 years

Region: Waipara Valley – North Canterbury
This is Mon Cheval's upper tier Pinot Noir only produced in top vintages.

This is harmonious and balanced. Medium-full bodied, the palate is sweetly rich and succulent with flavours of dark-red cherry and berry fruit along with subtle notes of dark-red florals and dark herbs. The mouthfeel is bright and lively with fresh, balanced, lacy acidity, and the fruit is underlined by fine, grainy tannins. The flavours show some secondary savoury undergrowth and earthy nuance. The freshness of the palate carries the wine to a vibrant and lively finish. This is a sweetly succulent and elegant Pinot Noir with dark-red cherry and berry fruit along with floral herbs and savoury elements on a vibrant palate.

The only place I have ever seen a line streaming out the door of a bakery and down the sidewalk. That was in Paris. I'd read that Clear Flour Bread in Brookline, Massachusetts, had the best croissants in Boston. The line out the door tended to support this praise. We joined the queue and ogled the rich variety of baked goods through the window while we waited our turn. When we were finally able to get inside the door, olfactory temptation was added to the visual enticement. What to choose?
We ended up taking a bit of everything; small loaves of bread, brioche, a rustic strawberry and rhubarb tart, and, of course, croissants – both plain and pain au chocolat. In the interests of gustatory research, we've been working our way through our haul. The verdict is that their pastries are simply excellent, but the bread, while perfectly fine, is not off the charts. The croissants were worthy of a Parisian boulangerie, the rustic tart was full of flavor and the pastry was flaky and light, and the brioche de Provence was studded with orange peel. Yum!
The French phrase for "to line up" is faire la queue (fare lah kuh). Although Brookline is half an hour away from where I live, I see regular trips to Clear Flour Bread in order to faire la queue in my future. If you're in the greater Boston area, I highly recommend that you faire la queue as well.

FTC Issues Data Breach Response Guide for Businesses
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a guide for businesses on responding to data breaches called Data Breach Response: A Guide for Business. A copy of the guide is available here. The report, which is accompanied by a video and blog post, identifies steps that a business should take after discovering a data breach and whom the business should contact. In the guide, the FTC breaks down responding to a data breach into three critical components:
- Securing Business Operations – Once a business believes that it has experienced a data breach, it needs to move quickly to secure its systems and address vulnerabilities that may have caused the breach. Securing business operations includes mobilizing the business' breach response team (which should include legal counsel), securing physical areas related to the breach, and taking affected equipment offline.
- Remediate Vulnerabilities – Businesses should identify vulnerable areas and attack vectors that led to the data breach – and, importantly, those that could lead to another. If service providers were involved, businesses should ensure the providers have taken steps to prevent another breach. Businesses should work with their forensic experts to analyze the data breach. Some immediate questions that would need to be answered include: How did it happen? How pervasive is the breach? What information was compromised and was the information encrypted? Who had access to the data? Finally, businesses should have a comprehensive communication plan that reaches all affected audiences.
- Notify Appropriate Parties – The FTC recommends that businesses notify law enforcement, other affected businesses and affected individuals. Some notifications are required by state and/or federal law. Businesses should ensure that all notification efforts undertaken by them are accurate and comply with applicable laws both in terms of who is notified and the content of the notification letters. The guide also identifies actions that businesses can take to help individuals understand the nature of the breach and reduce the risk that their information will be misused.
Although the guide provides guidance on how to respond to a data breach, several components of the guide require businesses to take action before a data breach event occurs. For example, businesses should prepare a data breach response plan and identify the members of its breach response team before a data breach occurs. Businesses should also have a communications plan in place before the breach occurs to avoid releasing misleading statements about the breach or publicly sharing information that might put consumers at further risk.
The guide encourages businesses to consult with in house counsel and consider retaining outside counsel with expertise in privacy and data security matters. Having cyber counsel and forensic experts retained prior to a data breach can also save a company heartache and headaches by enabling a data breach team to respond more quickly to identify, contain, and remediate an active breach.
If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact Josh Mooney (firstname.lastname@example.com; 215.864.6345), Laura Schmidt (firstname.lastname@example.com; 215.864.6333) or another member of our Cyber Law and Data Protection Group.

I first read about Kuelap several years ago in a Lonely Planet article about places to visit before they are overrun. This seems to be quite true. When I was there I talked to a local tour guide and he said that there were 12,000 visitors the year before, of which 4,000 were foreigners…if you divide that number by 365 days, that gives you a figure of nearly 11 visitors per day,… Read More

Vilcabamba is a village in the southern region of Ecuador, in the Loja province, about 45 km (28 mi) from the city of Loja. The etymology of the name "Vilcabamba" apparently derives from the Quichua "huilco pamba."

I was coaching two of my favorite Italian students last week and we discovered that to sound more American they had to use more breath while they were speaking — more than they use normally for both Italian and English. The same thing happened earlier today with a student who hails from both Jamaica and the UK — more use of the breath and BINGO he sounded more like someone from the east coast and less like a guy from the East End.
The key here is NOT breathiness, (though Marilyn Monroe made us famous for that), but more breath to support more tone going through the language. I like to say, "Give it more juice" or "Dig into the language," especially when you're talking about those buzzy consonants like M, N and Z. Finish the ends of the words. When in doubt, take a deeper breath and finish the end of each word in a sentence — you'll feel a difference in energy, more alive and visceral. The key is to utilize the body (the ribs expanding, the abs supporting) WITH the voice through the words.
Beware, it does NOT mean to clench your jaw or tense your muscles in the face/neck/torso – NO! We must use the breath without tensing up.
Many people around the world are taught that to speak "American" you have to "hold everything back" or "in the back of your mouth or throat" or "do nothing" and it's just plain NOT helpful — especially if you're an actor and you NEED to use your voice and speech to tell a story.
I won't argue with you if you say you can show me Americans who don't open their mouths, don't breathe and don't really live in the language. You'd have a point, but not a job! As an actor you need to be able to be clear and dig in so we get the thread of the story — even if you're cast as the First Officer and you have one line — you gotta be clear!


text: Speech Debelle wins U.K.'s Mercury Prize 4:39 PM PDT 9/8/2009 by Andre Paine, Billboard , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Hip-hop artist's 'Speech Therapy' released in U.S. last week LONDON -- Hip-hop artist Speech Debelle is the winner of the Barclaycard Mercury Prize 2009, with "Speech Therapy" (Big Dada) named the best album of the past year by a U.K. or Irish artist. The debut set proved a popular winner among the audience at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Tuesday, when it was announced at 10:20 p.m. U.K. time. It is the first victory for a female artist for the £20,000 ($33,000) prize since Ms Dynamite in 2002. The 26-year-old South Londoner was much fancied for the prize as the result verdict approached. Her performance of the track "The Key" was well-received at the ceremony, and she appeared ecstatic at the win. All but one of the 12 nominees (Glasvegas) performed at the ceremony. There was a live broadcast from 10 p.m. on BBC 2, and there will be 70-minute broadcast featuring all the performances on Saturday on BBC 2. Accepting the award, Debelle thanked the judges for choosing her album, as well as her collaborators and label bosses at Big Dada and the imprint's parent label, the London indie Ninja Tune. "Thank you so much, mum I love you so much, my gran is over there," she told the audience. Debelle's album has yet to make a strong performance in the U.K. charts, but her intelligent hip-hop has been well received by critics and it is likely to get a significant sales boost. The album was released in the U.S. on Sept. 1 on Ninja Tune, following a new distribution deal with Redeye Distribution. During her postvictory news conference, Debelle said she thought her album deserved to win and outlined plans to launch her own label. She also credited Ms Dynamite with inspiring her to succeed. "Ms Dynamite was an inspiration -- seeing her win the award was an inspiration for me," she said. Other nominees for the 2009 award included Kasabian, Bat for Lashes, La Roux, Friendly Fires, Florence and the Machine and Lisa Hannigan.

Webcast: The Value of Play
Children in America have lost significant opportunities for active, stimulating, and creative play that used to be commonplace; as a result, childhood obesity has risen and children's social and cognitive development has suffered.
Among recent focuses on the rise of childhood obesity and decreasing recess time in school, AEI-Brookings Joint Center and Common Good hosted a forum on May 31 to discuss the relationship between America's growing aversion to risk and the development and health of our children.

Birkenhead United have won the ISPS Handa Chatham Cup for the second time in three years, finally overcoming Western Suburbs on penalties after a gripping final finished 1-1 at QBE Stadium in Auckland this evening.
The Paul Hobson-coached team, who lifted the trophy for the first time in 2016, won the prestigious cup for a second time in three years and showed great character and composure in front of 3,364 fans who braved the cold conditions.
The hero for 'Birko' was goalkeeper Damian Hirst, who saved a penalty in regular time and repeated that feat in the shoot-out to deny Suburbs in their first Chatham Cup final in over a decade.
Western Suburbs, two-time champions from 1971 and 2006, were trying to take home the prized silverware for the first time in 12 years but came up just short. They proved worthy finalists and showed that many in their squad have bright futures but tonight Birkenhead toasted Chatham Cup success again.
Birkenhead Head Coach Hobson said it was a surreal feeling to lift the trophy after a tense final that could have gone either way.
"It feels incredible," he said. "I still can't quite believe it. I didn't fancy us in the penalties, but I felt we deserved it in the end. The first half we were so-so but I felt we really got on top in the second half and when it got to penalties we are just happy to come out on top."
Centre-half Alec Solomons, who has returned from injury to be part of Birkenhead's squad this season, was a standout in the match and was named as the Player of the Final, the recipient of the Jack Batty Trophy.
"Words can't describe how happy I am right now," he said. "This is a personal accolade but this is more a reflection of our team. I love playing for Birkenhead and to win the Chatham Cup with this group of players is pretty special."
The Northern Football team got off to the perfect start when Alex Connor-McClean found the back of the net in the seventh minute on the end of a well-worked move. From a free kick, Solomons flicked on a perfect header for Connor-McClean to finish from close range.
The Birkenhead red-and-white army, who turned up in their thousands to QBE Stadium in Albany, were on their feet and dreaming of reliving the past cup glory.
Birkenhead United, who finished fourth in the Lotto NRFL Premier League this season, had a chance to score their second in the 16th minute. Luke Jorgensen was picked out at the back post but couldn't connect cleanly with his volley.
After the goal, Suburbs settled into the game and found their rhythm. They got back on level terms when Birkenhead turned the ball over deep in their own half. Mohamed Awad was played into the box and dummied his way around a challenge before firing past Hirst in the 34th minute.
Wests looked the more likely to claim the lead heading into halftime and should have done so in the 40th minute on the back of a hotly-debated penalty decision.
Suburbs were awarded a spot kick after a challenge by Alec Solomons right on the edge of the area. Nathanael Hailemariam stepped up to take it but was denied by a spectacular save from Hirst. It was a huge moment in the match and kept the 2016 champions level heading into the sheds.
"Damian saving that penalty was a huge plus. We knew that they would be fit and keep going, so we were happy to go in 1-1 at half time. Second half I felt we had the better chances," said Hobson.
In the second half, the final was shaping as to who would break first as both defences handled the attacking threats well.
In the 55th minute, Hailemariam was played into the area and fired a shot from close range but it was easily contained by Hirst in goal.
At the other end of the pitch, on the back of concerted pressure, Birkenhead had a great chance to take the lead. A corner kick into the goalmouth was met by a header from Solomons but it was just wide.
The pressure kept coming and Birkenhead forward Bronson Kelly had a great chance in space but could not get a clean shot away. For all the chances, neither side could find the back of the net as the final headed into extra time.
The best chance of the added period fell to Elijah Just in the 100th minute. The promising young midfielder volleyed across goal and his shot missed by the smallest of margins.
That meant a penalty shoot-out would be needed and both sides struggled to keep their composure initially, Christian Gray and Harrison Moss-Edge both missing the opening spot kicks for Birkenhead and Western Suburbs respectively.
The subsequent penalties were all successful though and the game wasn't decided until Hirst pulled off another great save to keep out Dominic Wooldridge's attempt and bring the cup back to Auckland's North Shore.
