# A Trip to Unicorn Island

The film has intakes from her friends and family including famous personalities like Dwayne Johnson, Grace Helbig, Shay Mitchell, Lindsey Stirling, Humble the Poet and more.
The film premiered at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, California and was released on YouTube Premium (formerly known as "YouTube Red") on February 10, 2016, and received mixed reviews from critics. Tom Harrington writing in The Daily Dot called Singh's shtick "creepy": "The first couple of minutes of Unicorn Island move us via Steadicam throughout a suburban family home and finally come to rest downstairs in the small bedroom of Lilly Singh, which is colorfully adorned with posters of heartthrobs such as The Rock. We learn that it is the room in which she becomes her online persona, IISuperwomanII, and sends out her videos on things like "Types of Kids at School," "Types of Teachers at School," and "Types of Crushes" to a population greater than Scotland. Oh, did I mention she's 27?"
The film went on to receive the Streamy Award for Best Feature.

# Bouzeron AOC

Bouzeron is an appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) for white wine produced in the French communes of Bouzeron and Chassey-le-Camp in the Côte Chalonnaise subregion of Burgundy. Bouzeron wine is produced from the grape variety Aligoté, and Bouzeron AOC is therefore the only communal-level Burgundy appellation for Aligoté-based wines. Other Aligoté wines from Burgundy are restricted to the regional appellation Bourgogne Aligoté AOC, and all other white Burgundy wines from communal appellations (except Saint Bris AOC) are Chardonnay-based. However, Pinot blanc is technically allowed.
The Bouzeron AOC was created in 1998, and at this time replaced the Bourgogne Aligoté de Bouzeron AOC, which had been introduced in 1979 within the Bourgogne Aligoté AOC. There are no Premier Cru vineyards in the Bouzeron AOC. The move towards an own appellation for Bouzeron and its Aligoté was spearheaded by the efforts of Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. Together with his wife Pamela de Villaine he owns Domaine A & P de Villaine in Bouzeron.

## Wine style

The wines of this appellation are more similar in style and fruit characteristics to Pinot gris than to Chardonnay. The wines tend to be light bodied with subtle spice notes that are usually most vibrant up to five years after vintage.
Pinot noir- and Chardonnay-based wine are also grown in the same geographical area but are typically sold under the regional appellations Bourgogne Rouge and Bourgogne Blanc. They could also be sold as Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise AOC, but not as Bouzeron AOC.

## Production

In 2008, 47.05 hectares (116.3 acres) of vineyard surface was in production for Bouzeron AOC, and 2,459 hectoliter of wine was produced, corresponding to just under 330,000 bottles of white wine.

## AOC regulations

The AOC regulations require 100% Aligoté for Bouzeron, and a planting density of at least 8,000 vines per hectare. The allowed base yield is 55 hectoliter per hectare, and the grapes must reach a maturity of at least 9.5 per cent potential alcohol.

# Aaron Walden

Aaron Walden (born at Warsaw about 1835, died 1912) was a Polish Jewish Talmudist, editor, and author.
Walden, who was an ardent adherent of Ḥasidism, is known especially for his "Shem ha-Gedolim he-Ḥadash" (Warsaw, 1864), a work of the same nature as Azulai's "Shem ha-Gedolim." Like the latter, it consists of two parts:
* "Ma'areket Gedolim," being an alphabetical list of the names of authors and rabbis, mostly those that lived after Azulai, but including also many of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries who were omitted by Azulai; and
* "Ma'areket Sefarim," an alphabetical list of book-titles.
Walden himself says in his preface that he took Azulai's "Shem ha-Gedolim" as a model; and it is evident that he refers to Isaac Benjacob's edition of that work. The alphabetical list in the first part is arranged only according to the first names of the persons mentioned. In many instances the names are accompanied by biographical sketches, especially of Ḥasidic rabbis, whose biographies contain records of the miracles wrought by them and in behalf of them. To the third edition of the work, published in 1882 by Walden's son Joseph Aryeh Löb, the latter added an appendix entitled "'En Zoker," containing names and book-titles omitted in the two previous editions.
Another work by Walden, in which he displayed great erudition, is the "MiḲdash Me'at" (Warsaw, 1890), an edition of the Psalms in five volumes. In it are printed around the text:
* "Bet ha-Midrash," a kind of yalḲuṭ after the model of the "Yalḳuṭ Shim'oni," Walden having gathered all the haggadot referring to the Psalms which were scattered in the Talmudim, in the midrashic literature, and in the Targum, as well as in the Zohar and other cabalistic works
* "Bet ha-Keneset," a fourfold commentary ("PaRDeS") consisting of material taken from the most prominent ancient commentators; and
* "Bet Aharon," a reference index to the "Bet ha-Midrash," giving also variants and an explanation of difficult passages.
Walden also published an edition of Rabbi Abraham Saba's work "Zeror Ha-Mor" (Warsaw, August 1879), in which he stated that he had corrected various errors and misprints that had crept into the second and third printings of 1546 and 1566 respectively (both in Venice). This edition was printed by the printing house of Nathan Schriftgiesser.

# Abraham Turgeon

Abraham Turgeon (February 14, 1783 – August 2, 1851) was a notary and political figure in Canada East. He served as an officer in the Lower Canada militia in the War of 1812, was a justice of the peace, and held other civil positions.

His sister Geneviève married their cousin Louis Turgeon, a notary, who was elected three times to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada, and then was appointed to the Legislative Council. Abraham apprenticed as a notary with Louis Turgeon, qualified to practise in 1804 and set up his practice in Saint-Gervais. In 1819, he married Monique Goulet.
He served in the militia during the War of 1812, as a captain and adjutant in the Saint-Vallier division.

He was appointed commissioner for roads in Hertford County in 1817. In 1825, he was named the census commissioner for Hertford County.
Turgeon was elected to the assembly in an 1842 by-election held after Augustin-Guillaume Ruel accepted an appointment as district registrar. Turgeon was a supporter of Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine and was part of the French-Canadian Group in the Assembly. He did not stand for re-election in 1844.
Turgeon died in Saint-Michel at the age of 68. He was buried from the parish church.
