The bombs were falling and the smoke rising from the concentration camps, but all Hitler's daughter knew was the world of lessons with Fraulein Gelber and the hedgehogs she rescued from the cold. Was it just a story or did Hitler's daughter really exist? And if you were Hitler's daughter, would all the horror that occurred be your fault, too? Do things that happened a long time ago still matter?
First published in 1999, Hitler's Daughter has sold over 100,000 copies in Australia alone and has received great critical acclaim, both in Australia and the twelve counties where it has been published. Hitler's Daughter has also won or been shortlisted for 23 awards, both in Australia and internationally, including winner of the 2000 Children's Book Council of Australia Book of the Year for Younger Readers. Hitler's Daughter has also been dramatised by the MonkeyBaa Theatre, and in 2007 won the Helpmann award for Best Presentation for Children and the Drovers Award for Touring Excellence.
Jackie French is the Australian National Children's Laureate for 2014 and 2015. She is also an historian, ecologist, dyslexic, and a passionate worker for literacy, the right of all children to be able to read, and the power of books. Jackie's writing career spans 25 years, 148 wombats, over 140 books, 36 languages, 3,721 bush rats, and over 60 awards in Australia and overseas. Jackie wrote her first children's book Rainstones in a desperate attempt to earn $106.40 to register her car, while living in a shed with a wallaby called Fred, a black snake called Gladys and a wombat called Smudge. The editor at HarperCollins said it was the messiest, worst spelt manuscript they'd ever received. The mess was because Smudge the wombat left his droppings on the typewriter every night. The spelling was because Jackie is dyslexic. Jackie recommends all beginning writers misspell their first book so it stands out of the pile. Jackie is one of the few writers to win both literary and children's choice awards. Hitler's Daughter spent a decade on most of Australia's kid's choice award shortlists; among other awards it won the 2000 CBC Book of the Year for Younger Readers, the UK Wow! Award, a Semi Grand Prix Award in Japan and has been listed as a "blue ribbon' book in the USA. Monkey Baa's production of Jackie French's Hitler's Daughter: the play won both the Helpmann and Drover's Awards and toured the USA in 2013. Pete the Sheep; the musical, will open in March 2014. Diary of a Wombat, created with Bruce Whatley, is also one of Australia's best-loved picture books. It has been on bestseller lists across the world, with a still increasing number of awards and translations. Jackie's vast body of work contains both fictional and non fictional accounts of the last 60,000 years of Australian history, with books like Nanberry: black brother white; The Girl from Snowy River, Tom Appleby: Convict Boy; The Night They Stormed Eureka; A Day to Remember created with Mark Wilson; and Flood, created with Bruce Whatley. Her non-fiction also includes an eight volume history of Australia for young people (The Dinkum History series). Let the Land Speak: how our land created a nation (October 2013) is a work of history for adults, showing how the land itself contributed to iconic events from the first human foot on Australian soil to Eureka, Federation, Gallipoli, and how the land will continue to shape our future. Jackie is also the ACT Children's Week Ambassador, 2011 Federal Literacy Ambassador, patron of Books for Kids, YESS, and joint patron of Monkey Baa Theatre for Young People with Susanne Gervais and Morris Gleitzman. She is also a director of The Wombat Foundation that raises funds for research into the preservation of the endangered northern hairy nosed wombat. Jackie is a passionate advocate of help for children with learning difficulties as well as the conservation of wildlife and our planet. For nearly 40 years she has studied the species in the bush where she lives, with publications ranging from scientific articles on wombat ecology or endangered species to her ground breaking books on theories and practices for pest and weed ecology and more popular books on subjects like backyard self sufficiency. Jackie and her husband Bryan live in the Araluen valley, a deep valley on the edge of the Deua wilderness area. Most of their property is now a Conservation Refuge for the many rare and endangered species of the area. They live in a home made stone house, with a waterwheel Bryan made as well as solar panels to power their house, with an experimental orchard of over 800 fruit trees and more than 272 kinds of fruit that show how farming can coexist with wildlife. Jackie writes columns for the Canberra Times, Australian Women's Weekly, Earthgarden Magazine, Australian Wellbeing and Gardening Australia. Her garden rambles over about 4 hectares, and there is never a time when there aren't basketful of many kinds of fruit to pick.

This lesson is a follow-up to a prior lesson on the "d" sound and has the same target language and aim : "Students will review and clarify the "d" sound, with teacher modelling, video modelling, worksheet work and the "Dancing Dad" story. Students will as a result, be taught various vocabulary words beginning with the "d" sound." This lesson will pick-up where the previous one left off as the latter usually has an excess of content.
Go through the story with the ss, using the whole sentences. Use this opportunity to drill the D sound.
Further highlight the "d" sound the second listening of the bounce patrol video encouraging them to sing along.
Images and sentences from the Dancing Dad story are stuck to the board and to rectangular zones are drawn so that the ss can match them together for points for their own team. If time is short and they are struggling still just do as described once and go to worksheet if not previously done. If time is short and ss are comfortable, remove the sentences and ask them to come an choose the picture, and simply recite the corresponding sentence. If time is plentiful ;), go through both stages.
The worksheet might be done here, the sesame street video might be played here. If unused, the drawing of the vocabulary words on the BB could also be used. Plenty of ICQs should be asked during those activities, or as a review task for points.
Drill all the different sounds learned so far: long A, short A, B, hard C, D. Use some activities from the phonics kids book as worksheets.

Guide to the Bell Conservatory Company records
Contact Center for Sacramento History
The Bell Conservatory Company Business Records is comprised o f 4.25 linear feet of business records. The majority of the files are financial ledgers. Also included are two sample books of floral arrangements. The bulk of the collection dates from 1889 - 1930. The collection is divided into 3 series: financial records, sample floral arrangements, and artifacts.
The Bell Conservatory was located in Sacramento California on Broadway between 9 and 10th Streets in Sacramento, California. It was constructed in 1881 under the direction of Margaret Crocker, well known community leader and wife of E.B. Crocker. The cost of construction at that time was $38,000 dollars. Mrs. Crocker wished to supply flowers for the graves of the nearby Sacramento City Cemetery, where many of the city's founders were buried. The conservatory building had a glass construction with a large dome on top. Some of the glass came from Belgium and was ordered through the Tiffany Company. The Conservatory was a half size replica of the San Francisco Conservatory which was built in 1878. The Conservatory was purchased by Eugene Geisreiter in the 1880s. Geisreiter, born in New York, came to California and worked at the San Francisco Conservatory. He moved to Sacramento and operated the Bell Conservatory for almost fifty years. After his death, his son Herbert (Bert) operated the company from 1928 until 1956. Bert Geisreiter attend UC Berkeley and obtained a degree in landscape architecture. Geisreiter served as mayor of the Sacramento during the years 1950 and 1951. He also served on the City Council and the Planning Commission. Additionally, he served as the General Manager of the Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau from 1957 until 1972. The Bell Conservatory was sold in 1954 and was then torn down to make way for a Safeway supermarket.

Compressing a Dynamic Lead Vocal
By Matthew Weiss
Controlling Lead Vocal Dynamics with Compression [Excerpt]
Controlling Lead Vocal Dynamics with Compression [Excerpt] - youtube Video
➥ Get Premium Mix Training From Our Most Trusted Contributors
Alright, cool, so now that we've got that going, let's start bringing in these vocals and see what happens.
[mix]
So what's going on with this voice is sort of an interesting thing, and this is a challenge that I think comes up — you know, reasonably often.
So this vocal is bright and dark at the same time. When you listen to anything that isn't an "s" or a "t…"
It sounds like it's run off. But when we hear the esses and t's come in…
Like, you can hear how much that "s" spikes.
So what we want to do is we want to control this vocal in a number of ways.
First of all, we want to control the dynamics in general. Then we really specifically want to control the high end content alone using some kind of a multi-band, and then we want to brighten the vocal overall.
So this is how we're going to make this vocal pop without becoming harsh, and it's going to take a little bit of work. As you can see, it's a pretty dynamic vocal, we have some pretty harsh spikes that are happening throughout. It has been compressed, there's clearly some compression going on, but it's going to take a little finagling.
So, there's a lot of tone — like, a lot of harmonic things going on in the voice.
Like, there's a lot of already saturated quality to the sound. So I want to be a little bit cognizant of over saturating the vocal. So to begin with, I'm actually going to use a very utilitarian compressor, and my choice for that is pretty much always the FabFilter C2, or the Sony Oxford Dynamic thing. Both of those are really cool.
So for a vocal, I usually like a combination of the attack of the compressor to work between the attack and the knee, and I'm going to try and explain this as clearly and succinctly as possible.
So the knee, when you set the threshold of your compressor, that's what's saying, "Okay, this level of amplitude is going to start my compressor working." What the knee does is it actually begins the compression at a lower level of amplitude, so if I set the knee to 10dB, we're going to start getting compression action 10dB below the threshold, so it's going to trigger a lot earlier, but it's not going to trigger with as much of a ratio. The ratio is going to get — it's going to increase toward our target ratio as it approaches the threshold, if that makes sense.
What this means is two things. First of all, we get a more transparent sound, because the compression is working over a wider part of the signal. The other thing is that it changes the attack constant, because remember that the quieter parts of the signal are happening at the earlier parts of the signal.
So when we use a wider knee, like 10dB, we're effectively speeding up how fast the compression is going to act, so if we want to have the feel of slow attack compression, we can set our attack to like, 15 milliseconds, and we can turn our knee up, and that's going to create a faster action, but the sound of a slower compressor, if that makes sense.
This is pretty important for vocals. Particularly like, Pop vocals in this style, because if we want a transparent compression feel, then we want to not have it — the compressor going "huh," and jumping in really quickly.
So I'm going to use those things to sort of — you know, go between those two ideas to get a knee setting and attack setting that works.
When I'm doing this, I'm going to turn the ratio up pretty high.
[mix, adjusting vocal compression]
I think I — for learning purposes, this sort of sucks actually, but I think I kind of got it right right off the bat, but I think I'm going to turn the attack fast just so you can hear the difference.
[mix, faster compressor attack on vocals]
You hear how it feels like it's being choked right now? Like, the attack and the knee are making it work so fast, that it almost feels like the singer is being strangled.
So now, I'm going to start slowing the attack down and keep the knee where it is.
And now it still feels like the vocal is breathing. It's not as dynamic.
[mix, before vocal compression]
But you can feel how that feels too dynamic. It feels too up and down.
[mix, after vocal compression]
Then I'm going to speed up the release, and basically, with a Pop vocal, I almost always want the release to be basically as fast as I can get away with, with very little exception. This is almost like a front-to-back control. The faster the release is, the more forward the vocal is going to feel.
[mix, adjusting release]
Cool. Turn the oversampling on.
[mix, compressor with oversampling]
And I'm going to back off the ratio. I think a pretty high ratio is going to work, because this vocal is pretty dynamic, but you know, obviously, thirty to one is pretty hard.
[mix, adjusting ratio]
Now we've got a nice controlled vocal.
Now, I might do further compression down the line, depending on how dense the record is getting, depending on — you know, maybe I want the compression to create an effect or something like that.
But right now, we're sort of doing the repair work. Mya has a very difficult voice, because of the way she sings. She sings in a very breathy, airy kind of way. She sings very close to the mic, and it's a stylistic thing, but it is challenging to work with, so the next step here is going to be using some split band processing to just sort of keep the high end in check.

Ornate railings require more effort to repair than simple ones.
Rust on your railing isn't just an aesthetic problem -- left unchecked, rust also damages the railing itself, making it less sturdy. A small area of rust on an iron or steel railing can quickly become a large area of rust, so address the problem as soon as you spot it. The more ornate your railing, the trickier it can be to remove the rust and repair the damaged finish. The job isn't complicated, but it does require some time and effort -- so set the day aside to complete the work.
Cover the area around the railing with drop cloths and tape off anything else you want to protect using painters tape. After you remove the rust, you don't have much time in which to apply a primer, so prepare for that part of the job at the beginning.
Sand off as much of the rust as possible using abrasive tools. If your railing is mostly smooth and unornamented, wire brushes, sanding sponges, steel wool or a small power sander should be suitable. If your railing is more ornate and has areas that are hard to reach, you might also need sanding tape and sanding cord to access difficult spots.
Apply naval jelly to any remaining rust with a paintbrush. Naval jelly contains phosphoric acid, which dissolves rust. Allow the product to sit on the metal for 10 minutes or the length of time specified by the manufacturer, then wipe it off with a rag. Rinse the railing using a hose with a spray attachment, then wipe it down a second time with mineral spirits.
Check for persistent rust spots that you haven't been able to remove. If you find any, apply a rust converter to them. This causes a chemical reaction that prevents the rust from spreading or doing further damage. Rust converters often leave uneven surfaces on the metal, so after the length of time specified by the manufacturer, sand the area again to smooth it. Then wipe it with a tack cloth to remove any sanding dust.
Look at the areas on the railing where you removed rust. If the bare metal is pitted or corroded, apply a rust repair filler to the area. Allow the product to cure fully, then sand it down to leave a smooth surface.
Spray on an oil-based, rust-inhibiting primer as quickly as possible after removing the rust. Use small paintbrushes to access areas you can't reach with the spray can. Allow the primer to dry. While you can choose only to touch up the damaged areas, you're more likely to achieve an even finish if you simply prime and repaint the whole railing.
Apply a spray-on, oil-based, rust-inhibiting enamel to the railing. Use small paintbrushes to access difficult areas if necessary. Apply additional coats as needed.
Wear protective gloves and goggles and a mask while sanding or applying spray-on primer or paint.
As soon as you remove rust, new rust begins to form. Work in small sections, so you can apply primer to the stripped areas as quickly as possible. Avoid leaving bare sanded areas overnight without primer.
If only one or two spots on the railing need a rust repair filler, prime the rest of the railing before repairing those spots. This prevents new rust from developing in other places while you wait for the filler to cure.

Celebrities back drive to tackle £1.5bn skills shortage
Published: 07 December, 2022
More than 150 engineering leaders and celebrities – including Carol Vorderman and will.i.am – have endorsed a report calling on the Government to help tackle the UK's engineering skills shortage by embedding engineering into primary and secondary school curriculums. They have written an open letter to the Prime Minster saying that the Government needs "to invest in our children, who will be our engineering innovators of the future".
The call is backed up by report called Engineering Kids' Futures (EKF) which has been led by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Its recommendations include:
• A review of the Design & Technology (D&T) Curriculum at secondary level to refocus it as an "engineering and design" subject, with a possible rebranding of the subject accordingly.
• A review of school accountability measures (Progress 7 and Attainment 8) to move D&T into the English Baccalaureate (EBacc) suite of subjects.
• A call for the Government to endorse, promote, signpost and support an package of engineering training for teachers aligned with the Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Core Content Framework.
• A review of Government-funded ITT bursaries and scholarships in engineering to increase their value and availability.
The report is supported by new IET research which shows:
• 70% of parents believe primary and secondary education doesn't teach children about the real-life application of the subjects they are taught;
• more than half of parents (55%) agree that without formal teaching in engineering and technology, their children won't be able to make informed career choices;
• 69% say it is essential that primary school children are exposed to engineering and technology to spark an interest in these fields;
• Almost half (47%) feel that engineering and technology should be a compulsory core subject at GCSE;
• 60% of parents say that schools don't do enough to encourage young girls to consider engineering and technology career options; and
• more than half of parents (55%) rely solely on the school curriculum to teach their children about engineering and technology, with 61% admitting they would struggle to explain to their children which careers require engineering and technology qualifications.
More than half of parents (53%) think that there is too much emphasis on science, maths and English in the current curriculum.
There is currently a shortage of more than 173,000 workers in the UK STEM sector – an average of ten unfilled roles per UK business, costing the economy an estimated £1.5bn per annum. Almost half (49%) of engineering businesses are experiencing difficulties in finding suitably skilled personnel
"Subjects like science and maths are eagerly taught in schools, but connecting them to engineering – the link between these subjects, their purpose and application to the world in which we live – is not currently being made clear," warns David Lakin, the IET's Head of Education, Safeguarding & Education Policy. "We need to ensure there are clearer learning outcomes for these subjects.
The new report argues that children need to be introduced to engineering and science topics at an early age
"Put simply, we need to embed engineering into the mainstream curriculum. One way we can do this is by reviewing the current D&T curriculum, which is a key engineering and technology gateway subject, and give it more importance in the EBacc suite of subjects. Teacher training is also a key factor, and providing an engineering package aligned with the Initial Teacher Training Core Content Framework is vital to enhance a teacher's understanding and confidence around talking about engineering in the classroom.
"There are many options, and the engineering community is ready to help develop and implement these to support government in implementing these recommendations," Lakin adds. "Our aim to significantly increase the number of quality engineers and technicians entering the workforce can only be achieved by letting young people see the opportunities that a career in the engineering sector presents."

Dep Ed wants senior high schools in all LGUs
BAGUIO CITY – All local governments nationwide will have sufficient classrooms and school buildings to accommodate the over 1.1 million students who will be enrolling for the initial stages of senior high school by school year 2016-2017, Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro said here recently.
Luistro said the agency is trying to make sure that students from remote villages in the country who will be entering senior high school next year could be accommodated in the nearest public education institution in their places to avoid them from being deprived of quality education through the government's K to 12 system of education.
"We want everyone entering senior high school to be able to enrol in the nearest public education institution considering that it has been mandated that all local governments must have at least one school offering senior high school in order to accommodate the expected surge in enrolees next year," Secretary Luistro stressed.
Compliance of drinking water refillers ordered
The DepEd official underscored local governments must be willing to put up classrooms and buildings for senior high school by next year considering that they will have sufficient funds as the agency already absorbed the teachers being paid by the local school board under the Special Education Fund.
Aside from providing additional school buildings and classrooms for senior high school, Secretary Luistro said local governments could also utilize their available local school board funds for the put up of dormitories to serve as temporary lodging areas for senior high school students coming from remote villages in their respective areas of jurisdiction to allow them to pursue a higher degree of education.
He explained the over 1.1 million students who will be entering senior high school will definitely contribute in improving the state of education in the country considering that the country is now compliant with the international education standards which must encompass at least 12 years of basic education before enrolling or availing of a college degree.
"We have to prepare our students for stiffer employment competition in the international scene considering that our professionals who had availed of the 10-year basic education before college have been left out by multinational employers even if they are very much qualified for their jobs pursuant to their skills," Luistro said.
According to him, the 1.1 million students who will be entering senior high school next year will be the country's cream of the crop in terms of the program considering that they were all screened on who will be able to pursue their college degrees and who will be able to acquire skills through the competency examinations offered by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
He estimated some 660,000 students will be qualified for enrolment in college while some 440,000 shall have acquired their skills or have decided to pursue college degrees while utilizing their skills to earn income and sustain their quest for a higher degree of education.

Livin' La Vita Loca: Playstation Vita Impressions
With less than a week away, the official launch of the Playstation Vita in the US and UK is almost upon us. I say the "official" launch, because if you're crazy (like myself), you can go out and buy yourself a First Edition Bundle right now. While that's technically a good deal – an extra $50 for a case, Little Deviants, and 4 gb memory card – you're locked into the 3G version of the system, which, for most people, probably isn't worth the extra $50 over the WiFi version.
Also, if you want the 3G version, it would probably be a lot smarter to wait for the 3G Launch Bundle, which comes with an 8 gb memory card, but not the game or the case – which you can probably do without. Apparently, it also comes with a free Session Pass of AT&T DataConnect (after you pay for a month,), which is odd that the First Edition Bundle didn't come with that. It also mentions a free PSN game for the Launch Bundle, which when I signed up for my Session Pass, I was told I would get as well. That is, we'll get that free game 30 days after activation, which even the Launch Bundle has a little disclaimer for. I hope they don't just give me a voucher for Super Stardust Delta; that's the first thing I bought for the system, and I'm glad I didn't wait on that.
I would bet after reading that, you might be a little confused. Don't fret, this hardware launch is one of the most confusing I've ever dealt with in history. That's the main reason I wanted to write a post up: to try and clear up the fog while getting some good old information out there. So let's get into the launch bundles themselves, and afterwards we'll dive into the meat and potatoes of the hardware.
To unlock your Vita, you peel the page down. (Screenshots are scaled down)
As mentioned above, if you're itching to get a Vita right now, you can go out and get a First Edition Bundle for $349.99, which comes with a 3G Vita, a pretty nice (but BIG) carrying case, Little Deviants and a 4 gb memory card – which is near useless if you plan to download games. The carrying case is pretty nice, though it doesn't look as good as what else is available out there. It's also 100% not pocket-friendly, measuring about 2 inches thick and 6 inches long. Little Deviants seems like a simple mini-game collection that uses most, if not all of the features of the Vita. I haven't played nearly enough of it to pass judgment, but so far it doesn't seem like something anyone must have.
Onward to the 22nd, you can get the 3G Launch bundle for $299.99, which comes with a 3G Vita, an 8 gb memory card – much better than the 4 gb one, and some would say almost doubly so – and your free Session Pass (which I think is a month) of AT&T DataConnect. The 8 gb card might not sound like too much, but if you're buying retail games, it will go far. I bought a 32 gb card (which has 29 gb free when you put it in) with 4 full downloaded Vita games, 1 downloadable-only game and 6 PSP games on the system with 20 gb left free. Uncharted: Golden Abyss sits at 3.2 gb (glad I bought that one retail) and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift EXTEND is the largest memory hog, clocking in at 3.33 gb. Besides those two, most games I've seen are around the 1.5gb mark when you download them.
As far as the 3G itself goes, I still haven't had a chance to use it enough to know if it's worth the price. You certainly won't be downloading games or playing any serious multiplayer over 3G, but instead you'll be playing asynchronous multiplayer (Hot Shots Golf ) or using the "near" functionality with it. The cheapest plan in the States is 250 mb for $14.99, and I have absolutely no indication yet as you how far that will get me. After a few days of actual on-the-go use, I'll have some decent information to share with the usefulness of the 3G.
"Near" finds Vita players near you to show stats and share rewards.
If you don't want the 3G version, you can pick up the WiFi Vita on the 22nd for $249.99. That's it. No bundle, no memory card. Nothing. I'm completely surprised that Sony didn't throw in at least the 4 gb memory card with the WiFi version, as you're going to need a memory card to play just about every game on the market. So you have to buy at least a 4 gb card, which is $19.99. The next one up is the 8 gb for $29.99. If you want to download games, you're going to want at least the 16 gb card, which will set you back $59.99. Finally, if you're insane like myself, there's the 32 gb card for a whopping $99.99.
While we're on the topic of accessories, there is a tiny thing I'd like to mention: I went ahead and bought myself the cradle for the Vita, which is basically a little dock that you plug the AC adapter in, then you can charge your Vita on that. Why? Because I was already spending $450 without any games, so I figured I might as well get a few accessories. The cradle itself is great, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested. Here's where it gets weird, though. The cradle doesn't come with its own power supply, so you have to use the one included in the Vita's box. Knowing this, I ordered myself another AC adapter from Amazon so I could have the cradle plugged in at all times and an extra AC adapter to do whatever with. To my surprise when I opened the box, there is no USB cable in there. So when you spend $15 on the AC adapter, it doesn't come with any way to physically connect your Vita to the adapter. You have to spend another $15 on a Vita USB cable. That's insanity! I mean, it's not the end of the world or anything, but it just seems so out of left field. I was stunned when I found out. Just a fair warning to anyone in a similar situation.
Alright, so you know about the Vita bundles, and you have some information about the accessories. What about the hardware itself? Did Sony make good on developing a mobile device after what happened to the PSP? The short answer: yes. Compared to the PSP and even the 3DS, the Vita itself is an amazing piece of hardware with some really cool ideas (and some head-scratchers).
The first thing you'll notice on the device is the screen — and rightfully so. Even paying attention to all the pre-release coverage and knowing all the specs, I wasn't prepared for the size of the screen. If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, the screen is roughly the size of the entire phone, and it looks gorgeous. Also, if you're a modern smartphone user, you'll feel right at home with the capacitive touch screen.
The Vita dashboard is snappy and responsive with touch controls.
Speaking of touchscreens, there's of course the touch-sensitive back of the device, which I have to admit doesn't seem to work as well as the front screen and just in general feels like a weird addition. It works well enough, but it won't work at all if another part of your hands is touching it, which is a problem because that's how you hold the device. I can tell how they want you to hold it, and it feels comfortable enough, but my hands always seem to end up in a position where I'm touching the wrong part of the back, and then when I go to use the back touch for whatever action is required, I have to change my grip around and reorient myself. It's a minor gripe, but I do feel that it would have been better to leave the back touch out in favor of either a price cut or another feature like force feedback.
The Vita also features both front- and back-facing cameras, which completely confuses me. It makes marginally more sense on the 3DS because that can take 3D pictures, but even that is a gimmick that gets old not long after taking your first picture. From what I can tell, the Vita's cameras have no such gimmicks and are just poor cameras. The system does come with AR cards to play some Augmented Reality games, but as of writing this I haven't been able to find them on the Playstation Store, and honestly, I wouldn't have looked if I weren't writing this. I mean, there's the possibility that one of those games is amazing and comparable to today's games, but really, what are the chances?
Finally, no mobile device in 2012 is complete without some sort of motion sensing. Sigh. The Vita features a gyroscope, an accelerometer and a digital compass. These work perfectly fine, and it's not the presence of them that annoys more than it is the implementation. There are a lot of games out there that prove motion-based mobile gaming can work really well, but there are a lot more out there that make a good case for banning it from all devices in the future. On the Vita in particular, there's a second analog stick, so there is absolutely no reason why I would want to move the device around to aim my weapon or camera. That seems silly. Luckily, the games I've played let you turn it off, though Uncharted still wants you to use the motion to balance in quicktime event-like moments, but we'll get into that another time.
Tilt your device or Drake dies.
The hardware controls on the Vita feel great. At first impression, the analog sticks feel weird compared to an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 controller, but after playing some Super Stardust: Delta for a little bit, they felt perfectly natural to me. You may notice that the face buttons are tiny, and that was one of my initial worries. However, it hasn't been an issue for me yet, though I imagine people with larger hands might see some problems. The triggers feel a little foreign when shooting a weapon in Uncharted but otherwise feel great. My only gripe so far with the hardware controls so far would be the Start and Select buttons, which are tiny and indented into the system. making them strangely tough to hit. They're nowhere near as bad as the 3DS' Start and Select buttons, and I imagine will become easier to hit when I need to as I become more familiar with the device.
Now we move onto the UI, where Sony has made some great decisions and some weird choices. First and foremost, the entire dashboard of the device is controlled by touch alone. Don't get me wrong, the touch works great and feels awesome, but it's still a little weird to have these analog sticks and buttons that do absolutely nothing. I'm going to go ahead and make a bold prediction that 99% of all video game players who buy a Vita will try using the physical controls at the initial start-up screen, and at least one more time after setting up the system. Even after reading this. It took me a while to train myself to use the touchscreen, as it's just something I'm not used to on a gaming device like this. That said, the UI feels great. Everything is fast and snappy, and while some people may not like the way things are organized and displayed, I haven't had any problems. Though I can see a need for more organization options coming in the future when more games are added to my dashboard.
There are also some weird instances that just make you shake your head but aren't really that important. For instance, when setting up the device, I was asked to link my Playstation account to the device. Of course, I said yes and typed in my information. Then a little popup told me that I needed to update my device before logging in and kicked me back to the login screen. Just note that at this point, I was never given the chance to update. It's odd, and not important at all, but the UI is filled with little quirks that remind you this is a system made by Sony.
Edit your dashboard by holding anywhere on the screen.
I think that about covers just about everything besides a few tidbits. The Vita does feature a web browser that's functional but not terribly good. I will say that the touchscreen keyboard is one of the best I've ever used, and it makes entering text over something like the 3DS and especially the PSP much better. "Near" is a neat idea that gives you rewards based on people around you, but the system isn't officially out yet, and I live in a rural area, so I haven't gotten much out of it. There are apps called Group Messaging and Party that I have no idea how they work, as I have no PSN friends as of right now (add me: animathias), which I hope will change soon. The 3G version of the device has GPS capabilities, which is exactly what it sounds like and works exactly like it should. Besides Near, I'm not sure of the uses of it as I'm never going to use this for navigation.
Downloading games and apps works as you'd expect and can be done in the background. There's no need to manually install them this time around, though if you're playing a game when a game finishes downloading, it will only install when you go back to the dashboard (or I imagine putting the device in sleep mode, though I'm not sure.) Some games disable the network features, though I'm not sure why. I had to wait to play Uncharted until all of my downloads were finished because, for some reason, it would turn off all network features whenever I played it. That's a strange decision for a single-player game. I also hear Michael Jackson: The Experience HD disables the network features for performance reasons, which makes sense for a rhythm game.
All the media features you would expect are here: photos, music, and movies. I haven't watched any movies on the Vita yet, but I bet they would look pretty good, though movies at a decent resolution would take up a good bit of space. I'm also not sure what all file types are usable here. That said, the Playstation experience is here and it looks like there are plenty of TV shows and movies available to buy or rent on the PlayStation Store. I've also heard that Sony's music streaming service is available on the Vita, though that's something I know nothing about personally. It could be something awesome if you're invested in the Sony ecosystem, though.
The App part of the Store is lacking apps but not potential.
There is a place in the Playstation Store for app downloads, though as of writing this, all that's in there is Vita Protection Plans. Apparently there will be actual apps suck as Flickr and Twitter in there in the future, and that could make for some interesting additions to the device. It would seem weird to check my Twitter feed on a gaming device, but with the large touchscreen, it wouldn't be completely odd. I'm very interested to see what apps hit that section of the store in the future. Being a Sony product, I bet Netflix or Pandora are out of the question, but those would be awesome additions.
The last thing I wanted to touch on: battery life. I've gone through a couple of cycles now, and it looks like I can get anywhere from 3 to 4 hours of gaming in before having to charge. If you're not playing games during that entire time, you'll probably squeeze upwards of 4.5 hours out of it. That's certainly not great, but not absolutely horrible either. I can see that understandably being a deal-breaker for some, but it's not unexpected for a device like this. There are also things you can do to extend the battery life such as turning down the brightness, disabling WiFi / 3G and turning off Bluetooth (should you need to).
Bring up this handy guy by holding the PS button.
That will do it. I hope you found this informative, and I hope it helped you make a purchasing decision. As a final note, I will say that I am really enjoying my time with the Vita, and I'm glad I bought one, though I probably wouldn't have bought the First Edition Bundle. However, if this post helps even one person make a decision, then I'll consider it worth it to get it early. If you have any questions, feel free to leave it in the comment thread, and I'll try to answer as best I can.

Thanks! Don't worry, reviews are definitely forthcoming!
Diarmuid
Very good review. Have a Wifi model pre-ordered. Is it true the WiFi model will not have GPS?
Matthew J in reply to Diarmuid
Thank you. That is true. The WiFi model will be without GPS. I'm not sure if it's missing the Maps app or not, and even though I skimmed over it, it's actually a decent app on par with the iPhone.

Matthew J, I'm a little confused. The "First Edition" bundle w/ 4gb (2/15/12) did not come with a dataconnect plan for free or it did and the (2/22/12) 3g bundle w/ 8gb has a dataconnect plan offerring that I first have to pay $15 to AT&T for the first 30 days before the FREE 250mb plan kick in?
Matthew J in reply to D Bark
As far as I can tell, the First Edition (4 gb, 2/15) bundle does not come with a free "Session" (as they keep calling it, which is weird) of the DataConnect. I may be surprised at the end of my first month and be treated to a free month, but nowhere in the packaging or sign up process was a free session mentioned.
For the Launch Bundle (8 gb, 2/22) a lot of the marketing and product descriptions mention a complimentary session. From what I've gathered, there will be a coupon code in the packaging that you enter during the sign up process, though you're right that the free 250 mb plan activates after your first paid session expires.

Visiting Stan and Julie Simpson at their mountain vineyard, one senses that they are on top of the world, enjoying the moment as they bask in the beauty around them. It's no wonder: their single-vineyard Merlot has what it takes to achieve cult status; Stan's hand-built home reflects his artistic craftsmanship; his vineyard commands spectacular views of the North Bay.
Stan began his career as an industrial arts/art teacher in Southern California. He next ran his own cabinet shop in Laguna Beach, from which he designed and supplied furnishings for many up-scale homes in the Orange County area.
In 1970 Stan and Julie spent a year of study in Denmark. Stan's background as a craftsman and his artistic eye found articulation in the Scandinavian sense of design. "Danish woodworking shows off the grain of the wood rather than the dexterity of the woodworker. The lines and cuts are clean, the impact on the wood non-intrusive." This concept would serve not only as a guiding factor in designing and building his own home on McCray Ridge, but also as an influence in the attitude he would bring to grape growing and winemaking.
In 1972, while exploring Sonoma County's back roads, the Simpsons discovered and purchased their 40-acre mountain parcel. At that time, the property had nothing – no water, no electricity, no structures, no fences. Nothing but a fantastic view of the Sonoma valley and a dry, un-farmed four-acre patch of red grapes that no one could identify for certain. At first, Stan tried living there and farming here. Then, in 1985, he sold his woodworking business in Laguna Beach and moved to Sonoma County to study viticulture at SRJC, become a full-time farmer, and build a home.
The first couple of years, an 8'x10' trailer made do while wells were dug, electricity and telephones introduced, and plumbing installed. In the vineyard, Stan single-handedly tore out the old vines, pulled roots, prepared the soil, and planted four acres of bench-grafted Merlot vines. Between growing periods, he began building a home. Room by room, year by year, with meticulous care given to every large and small detail, a cottage began to emerge.
One that illustrates Stan's guiding principle of not tampering with the inherent beauty of a thing, maneuvering it only enough to allow the beauty to emerge. It is the principle by which Stan Simpson planted his vineyard, built his house, and makes his wine.

Q: What is the correct command for performing a git-rebase in this scenario? I'm still getting my head around using git-rebase, and I'd like to double check what I'm planning on doing before I actually do it!
The relevant branches in my repo currently look like this:
o---o---o......   master
         \
          o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o   develop
                   \
                    o---o   feature
                         \
                          *   sub-feature

What I would like to achieve is this:
o---o---o......   master
         \
          o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o   develop
                                           \
                                            o'---o'   feature
                                                  \
                                                   *   sub-feature

I'm not expecting any conflicts, as the feature branch is only deleting files that are no longer required, and the sub-feature branch has added new files which definitely don't exist on the develop branch.
Based on the git-rebase documentation, I think I need to runthe following from the sub-feature branch:
git rebase feature

I'm a little unsure though, because I want to rebase on to develop and not master. With this in mind, I'm wondering if should instead run the following from the sub-feature branch:
git rebase --onto develop feature

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

A: onto is very powerful, but since you are still getting used to rebasing, and this operation will require two steps regardless (assuming you want to update both feature as well as sub-feature) I would recommend these steps:
First let's update feature:
git checkout feature
git rebase develop

Finally, update sub-feature:
git checkout sub-feature
git rebase feature

This will leave you with the tree you stated in the question.
