Quotes About Seasons. Game of Thrones season 7. Even before the show caught up with the books. Margaret Atwood on season 2, relevance. Canadian author Margaret Atwood started writing The Handmaid’s Tale in West Berlin in 1. East German Air Force would release sonic booms, reminding her of their proximity, every Sunday. An obsession with that regime’s totalitarianism, coupled with others behind the Iron Curtain, prompted her to write her most famous novel, which is often required reading in American high schools. What do you think about the series’ relevancy and the renewed interest in your 3. ![]() MARGARET ATWOOD: I need to share this with you: I rigged the election. Is this my fault that we have this now?” It is very peculiar. They did start it well ahead of the election and then as the election progressed and more things got said. Such as the wise Republicans who said there was real rape and unreal rape and you knew if it was unreal rape because if you got raped, you didn’t get pregnant because we were told a woman’s body has a way of shutting down. So The Handmaid’s Tale has come up in previous elections but it really came up again on Nov. And it has not stopped since that moment. RELATED: Elisabeth Moss on the Relevance of Handmaid’s Tale: . We had women sitting in the Texas legislature . When you were writing this back in 1. West Berlin, what prompted that thinking? Well, I had been cutting things out of newspapers for a while. But there were three backstories to writing the book. One was 1. 7th- century puritan culture and literature and theology, which I studied long ago at the beginning of the ’6. Every country has a foundational paradigm and that’s one of the foundational paradigms of the United States, the other being the 1. Enlightenment. So you’ve got 1. Enlightenment sort of superimposed upon it, but the original stuff never really went away. And it would bubble up from time to time. The most recent one being the kinds of language applied to Hillary Clinton during the election, which was straight out of the 1. It was witchcraft and demonology language. Some people actually thought she had demonic powers, which if she had had them, maybe she should have used them. The other thread was my teenage love of dystopians and utopians and sci- fi. And my interest in writing a dystopia. Most of the ones I had read had been from a male point of view. I wanted it to be a totalitarianism where everyone is being treated badly but in different ways, except for those at the top. So in a hierarchical situation like that, women at the top are doing better than men at the bottom but not as well as men at the top. And that’s more or less our world. The third thing was when I was reading in the papers about totalitarianism throughout the 2. My other belief is that people who say they want to do extreme things will do them if they get the chance. I had followed the story of Mr. Hitler and his book . But when he got the power, he did the things he said he was going to do. Now people have more power to do those things and they are doing them. The Handmaid’s Tale has already been through the Hollywood system. It was a movie back in 1. Natasha Richardson as Offred. But it wasn’t a big hit. What do you chalk that up to? Things go in waves. Second wave feminism happened in the ’6. And then people got tired. And others felt they had achieved a certain number of things and it was other people’s turn. It’s generational. When you’re a certain age, you think your mum is old- fashioned. Offred (before she becomes Offred) is like that in the book. Her mom was a ’7. Offred thinks she is quaint, going on all these marches, wearing overalls. So the book was written at that time of “mum is quaint.” And then I think people move into other phases. The series expands well beyond your novel. We can go behind the scenes and follow characters we can’t follow in the book because she can not know what happens to them. Like what happens to Ofglen (played in the series by Alexis Bledel)? And that is like a real totalitarianism. You read about Joe Stalin’s purges and people just disappear. And then you wouldn’t mention them. That is what Orwell is channeling in 1. Those people would disappear, not only from your life but from the record. They were gone. How involved were you in the series? Did you collaborate much with showrunner Bruce Miller? We talked a lot. I think it will be more involving in the second season because we will be in uncharted territories so more invention will have to take place. Is that exciting for you? Yes, it is. We did a special edition of the audio book, which concludes with a Q& A session with the professor. He explores some of the edges of things in his answers, written by me. That will be interesting but I can’t predict what we will do. So what you’ve seen so far in the first series? In your New York Times piece, you talk about the scene where you have a cameo, where the women are all ganging up on Janine for being a victim in a gang rape, forcing her to admit the rape was her fault. Poor Janine . She really had a rough road in this series but she is so good. Are there other scenes that stand out to you? It’s very upsetting when Janine has the baby and it gets taken away from her. That made me cry. Really shocking was what happened to Ofglen, which I don’t want to spoil. Yes, episode 3 is quite rough. It’s bang, right between the eyes. But Bruce Miller followed the rules. Nothing that has not happened in society was included, and what happened to Ofglen has happened in modern society. It’s not just something that happens to people over there. Were there images you wanted to see visualized in a certain way? The thing looks gorgeous. Let me just say that. The photography, the saturation of color — it is really quite gorgeous. Now in the novel, I never pictured overhead shots. But with the overhead shots, you can get this patterning. It’s like the old Busby Berkeley musicals, or Esther Williams, where people are making floral pattern scenes. It’s visually alluring. It has a style that is very lush and seductive and therefore all the more chilling because it looks so beautiful and normal. Normalizing is a big thing with this series. And we are brought into the process, via the show’s flashbacks, of how this somewhat free society, became so dogmatic, so quickly. That to me is the most terrifying part of it. Like the scene in the caf. It reminds me of the rise in anti- Semitic and racist talk on the rise here now. Sometimes those aren’t even the true feelings of the person before that moment. They become not only socially acceptable feelings, but socially demanded feelings. They might not have been their feelings at all before then, but this is what we have to do. Let’s do that, it’s the acceptable thing to do. The corollary of that is when the Handmaids are urged on to basically kill a man. They never would have killed a man before but this is what you do now. And it’s safe to do that; it’s unsafe not to do it. When there is a mob, or any sort of group ganging up, like the coffee shop scene which is part of that, the safest place is always the middle of the mob. Until, of course, we change our minds as to who the mob is. During the witchcraft trials, the safest place to be is among the accusers. That is what causes mob behavior — it’s safer in the mob. You don’t want to be ganged up on. You don’t even want to be the person heroically defending them. Because then you will become one of those attacked. That’s how Salem worked. It’s unsafe to defend people against that behavior. It’s safer to be among those doing the attacking. So what do you think of all this happening to you right now, with your book and the renewed notoriety? It’s a fun way to be 7. It’s not usually what happens to you at this age. Usually, you are sitting in the rocking chair and people are saying, “Fine achievement, fine lifetime achievement,” and that’s kind of it. So it’s very interesting to me and I’m glad it’s so interesting to many other younger people. And it ought to be because this is the world they are increasingly living in. On a note of hope, America is very diverse and has a lot of energy and I think people have been awakened by these events and they have become motivated in a way that they weren’t before. The first three episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale are available on Hulu now, with new episodes being added to the streaming service each Wednesday. Change Quotes & Sayings (Changes, Changing, Progress, Ruts, Adapting)No Work so great, but what admits decay,No Act so glorious, but must fade away.. Old things must yield to New, Common to Strange,Perpetual Motion, brings perpetual Change.~James Miller (1. Harlequin- Horace: Or, The Art of Modern Poetry, 1. He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery. Survival is not mandatory. Edwards Deming (Thanks, Michelle)All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer. As surely will the proudest monuments of human labor pass away, as the morning mist from among the hills. If we can look upon the past and behold the ravages of time, or on the present and not feel his powerful influence upon ourselves and the things around us, then indeed will our future be dark and cheerless. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change. Simone, Sr. There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse! As I have often found in travelling in a stagecoach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position, and be bruised in a new place. Gallagher. Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. Happiness, greatness,pride — nothing is secure, nothing keeps.~Euripides, Hecuba. Change always comes bearing gifts. It is like being the first to visit a new land. It produces a freshness of sensation something akin to that of early morning, or of spring. It is like entering upon a new stage of life, having a new world before us from which to receive, and upon which to make impressions. But we never know, do we? Life turns on a dime. The vows of ignorance are not binding upon enlightenment. Seward. The birds are molting. If only man could molt also — his mind once a year its errors, his heart once a year its useless passions. You always know what you are going to be thinking tomorrow. Nothing changed. They cling to things so hard sometimes. Auden. Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history. I may have said I wanted it, but I will have the courage to say, . After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over. Kezer. If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of idea. The burning means it's working. He was once an angel and may be evolving still. Peter. Nothing that is can pause or stay; The moon will wax, the moon will wane,The mist and cloud will turn to rain,The rain to mist and cloud again,Tomorrow be today.~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. There is no reason why the same man should like the same books at eighteen and forty- eight. Only their costumes do. It takes a lot of courage.. You just have to put your ego on a shelf and tell it to be quiet. Eisenhower. No two men ever judged alike of the same thing, and it is impossible to find two opinions exactly similar, not only in different men but in the same men at different times. But the changes wrought by the passage of time affects individuals and institutions in different ways. According to Darwin's Origin of Species, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment.. Applying this theoretical concept to us as individuals, we can state that the civilization that is able to survive is the one that is able to adapt to the changing physical, social, political, moral, and spiritual environment in which it finds itself. Megginson, 1. 96. By the by, . Yet with the same light the moon goes on shining. Sun. Wolf, 2. 01. A scholar who loves comfort is not fit to be called a scholar. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them.

Strong and secure attachment is vital to your baby’s development. You can build attachment by learning to read your baby’s signals and knowing how to best respond to your baby’s needs. Attachment: the basics. Attachment is the strong, long lasting bond between a baby and his caregiver. Secure attachment develops in response to consistent and sensitive love and care in the first months of your baby’s life. It gives your child an important start to healthy social, emotional and cognitive development, building the foundation for a sense of security, safety and good coping skills. Also called "development in context" or "human ecology" theory, ecological systems theory, originally formulated by Urie Bronfenbrenner specifies four types of nested. ![]() Research on the brain helps us know what helps children remember, and what doesn't. Here are 10 successful strategies for the classroom.
![]() Babies attach to significant grown- ups in their lives. This is most often their parents but can also include other people who regularly care for them, such as grandparents and paid carers. Children can, and will, attach to more than one person. Attachment to other people doesn’t affect your baby’s attachment to you – it helps her learn about being close to people. Babies who experience care that is unresponsive, unpredictable or threatening can develop attachment problems that slow their development. You can try thinking about attachment as building a line between two planets, one big one and a smaller planet that’s near it. If you can develop a strong line, the small planet can revolve and do its own thing with no fear of flying out into space. Understanding attachment behaviour. Babies and toddlers try to get comfort and protection from the people they’re attached to. Babies have different attachment behaviour to show different needs. To show they need attention, for example, young babies might: smile at you, or make eye contact – babies love to look into your eyesmake little noises, such as coos or laughscrawl after you or hold out their armscopy your gestureslook relaxed and interestedcry. To show when they need a break or perhaps a different, gentler approach, young babies might: look away, shut their eyes or yawntry to struggle or pull awaylook tense and unsettledcry. Parents describe joy and also the experience of not feeling an instant attachment to their child. These parents discuss how they formed that bond later. But it can sometimes be difficult – and frustrating! If you need help, check out our illustrated guide to soothing a crying baby. Responding to attachment behaviour. It’s important to respond to attachment behaviour in a way that meets your baby’s needs. When your baby gets what she needs, like a smile, a touch or a quick cuddle, she feels safe. She knows she can relax, play, explore and learn again. In this way, attachment provides the base for healthy development. When attachment behaviour isn’t followed by reassurance, babies can sometimes respond by feeling afraid and clinging even more. As an example, this could happen if a parent encourages a toddler to be . Some of these needs will change as she develops. It helps to understand what stage of development she’s up to. Building a secure foundation for baby’s development. The following tips can help you use attachment to ground your baby’s growth and development. Provide comfort when your baby is crying or upset. If parents come to comfort them, babies learn that the world is safe, and they cry less. Take time to be with your baby. Try to learn to . For example, think about how a baby might feel when she’s picked up then put down somewhere else without warning, or what it would be like to be handed to a stranger. Be gentle when introducing new things and people, and let your baby know what you’re going to do so she learns that the world is predictable. See the world from your baby’s perspective. Imagine what he’s looking at, feeling or trying to do. Discover what he really likes and dislikes. Be flexible. Learn what works for your baby, and don’t stick to a certain routine if it doesn’t suit you both. Give your baby chances to succeed and make things happen. You can try to do this by putting a rattle close to her, where she can hit it to make a noise or crawl to reach it. Find support for yourself. If you’re physically and mentally well, you’ll be better able to provide the love and comfort your baby needs for attachment. Look for someone to talk things over with, to encourage you when you’re doing well, and to give you a break when you need it. You’re the most important part of your baby’s life. If you’re worried about your relationship with your baby, ask for help. Getting help when your baby is young can make a big difference to both of you. Attachment and separation. By about six months, babies have usually developed important attachments, but might fear grown- ups they don’t know very well. This is a natural part of learning to feel safe in the world, and they’ll soon adapt to these new people too. Try to make sure you’re around for reassurance. At this age, it’s also common for babies to cry and experience separation anxiety when you leave them with someone else. Over the next few years, babies and toddlers will gradually learn to manage longer separations from their special people. At first they’ll like to check that you’re around – they might even follow you into the toilet! But this is all part of building confidence. By age three or four, children can usually manage a half- day or so with unfamiliar people (outside their circle of carers), without being upset. But some children take longer. It depends on their temperament and early experiences. Separation and sleep. Babies who have slept well for their first six months or so might start to wake at night, or might not want to go to sleep. They could be experiencing separation anxiety, so you might want to read more about promoting independent sleep in babies over six months. Some parents worry that controlled comforting will hurt attachment, but research shows that when this settling strategy is used appropriately, there’s no evidence it harms babies or attachment. Supporting Listening and Spoken Language in Young Children with Hearing Loss & Their Families. Photo by juhansonin. Approximately 9. 5% of parents of children with hearing loss are hearing themselves (Mitchell & Karchmer, 2. In fact, some states such as North Carolina, are reporting that parents are choosing spoken language options for their children with hearing loss more than 8. Alberg, Wilson & Roush, 2. And, these parents are typically selecting approaches that support listening and spoken language, such as Auditory- Verbal Therapy, without initiating visual communication systems. With early identification and the use of advanced hearing technology, children with even the most severe or profound hearing losses can access audition and follow an intervention approach focused on achieving typical developmental milestones in listening, speech, language, cognition, and conversational competence. Parents’ communication choices are based on their long- term desired outcomes for their child. Once those decisions are made, professionals providing early intervention and habilitative services should support the parents’ choices and provide the necessary support and intervention to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that the child achieves those outcomes. Definition of Auditory- Verbal Therapy. The Alexander Graham Bell (AG Bell) Academy for Listening and Spoken Language, which is based in Washington, DC, governs the certification of Listening and Spoken Language Specialists (LSLS), the practitioners qualified to provide Auditory- Verbal Therapy. The Academy defines the practice of Auditory- Verbal Therapy as: “Auditory- Verbal Therapy facilitates optimal acquisition of spoken language through listening by newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Auditory- Verbal Therapy promotes early diagnosis, one- on- one therapy, and state- of- the- art audiologic management and technology. Parents and caregivers actively participate in therapy. Through guidance, coaching, and demonstration, parents become the primary facilitators of their child’s spoken language development. Ultimately, parents and caregivers gain confidence that their child can have access to a full range of academic, social, and occupational choices. Auditory- Verbal Therapy must be conducted in adherence to the Principles LSLS of Auditory- Verbal Therapy” (AG Bell Academy, 2. The Principles of Auditory- Verbal Therapy: Defining Practice. The Academy has endorsed a set of principles that delineate the practice of Auditory- Verbal Therapy: Promote early diagnosis of hearing loss in newborns, infants, toddlers, and young children, followed by immediate audiologic management and Auditory- Verbal Therapy; Recommend immediate assessment and use of appropriate, state- of- the- art hearing technology to obtain maximum benefits of auditory stimulation; Guide and coach parents to help their child use hearing as the primary sensory modality in developing spoken language; Guide and coach parents to become the primary facilitators of their child’s listening and spoken language development through active consistent participation in individualized Auditory- Verbal Therapy; Guide and coach parents to create environments that support listening for the acquisition of spoken language throughout the child’s daily activities; Guide and coach parents to help their child integrate listening and spoken language into all aspects of the child’s life; Guide and coach parents to use natural developmental patterns of audition, speech, language, cognition, and communication; Guide and coach parents to help their child self- monitor spoken language through listening; Administer ongoing formal and informal diagnostic assessments to develop individualized Auditory- Verbal treatment plans, to monitor progress, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the plans for the child and family; and. Promote education in regular school with peers who have typical hearing and with appropriate services from early childhood onwards. The Listening and Spoken Language Specialist (LSLS): Two Paths to Certification. The AG Bell Academy has designated two paths to certification for Auditory- Verbal practitioners: LSLS Certified Auditory- Verbal Therapist (LSLS Cert. AVT) and the LSLS Certified Auditory- Verbal Educator (LSLS Cert. The LSLS certification is awarded to qualified professionals who have met rigorous academic, professional, post- graduate education and mentoring requirements, and have passed a certification exam. Typically, LSLS certified practitioners are licensed audiologists, speech- language pathologists, or educators of the deaf who have the required background, training and experience in listening and spoken language theory and practice with children with hearing loss and their families. For additional information about certification as a Listening and Spoken Language Specialist (LSLS), speech- language pathologists and audiologists should contact the AG Bell Academy at academy@agbell.

Quidditch players explain the game Quidditch, the game popularised in the Harry Potter books, is now being played by students around the world. So just how do you turn a magical sport into something that can be played in real life? As a group of college students gather on a cold Sunday morning outside the White House for their weekly sports practice, it's hard not to smirk. Watching adults run around the field with household brooms and mops between their legs, wearing makeshift wizards' capes, is quite a sight, after all. But in non- wizarding society (or the muggle world, for those of you in the know), one has to improvise. In the books, Harry Potter and his friends play the sport at school. There is also a professional league, and even a Quidditch world cup. It was only to be expected that children brought up on the books - the first was published way back in 1. The first key step towards creating a muggle version of the game was taken by Xander Manshel, a student at Middlebury college in the US state of Vermont, in 2. Along with his friend Alex Benepe, he rounded up a group of students prepared to give it a try, sticking as closely as possible to the game played by Harry Potter. Gravity. This includes the broomsticks. People hold the books dearly in their hearts, so are happy to make it real. There are seven players on each team, including: Three chasers, who score by throwing a ball known as the quaffle through one of three goals - hula hoops on sticks. Two beaters, who throw balls known as bludgers at the opposing team, in an attempt to stop them scoring. A keeper, who guards the goals. A seeker, whose job is to catch the prized golden snitch - an action which ends the game. In the fictional game, the snitch is a small magical ball with wings. It is very small and very fast, and very hard to catch. Human snitch. Step forward Miles Millican, who - for this George Washington University training session - makes up for the fact that a real- life snitch does not have wings.

It is followed by wizards in much the same way that football (soccer) is followed by Muggles. Harry initially compares it to basketball on broomsticks with three hoops. It is a fast- paced, dangerous game played by two teams with seven members each and officiated by one referee. Typically there are no player substitutions allowed in the course of the game. Event Details. Harry plays in the Gryffindor Quidditch team as Seeker from year 1 (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) to year 6 (Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince), being team captain in year 6. Draco Malfoy plays opposite him on the Slytherin team, starting with year 2 (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). Apart from the Quidditch World Cup, there is no Quidditch in year four (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) because of the Triwizard Tournament; Harry is unable to play in the last match of Year 1 (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone) because he is unconscious in the hospital wing, or in most of the matches in year five (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) because Professor Umbridge has ordered his broom confiscated after the first game, or in the last match of Year 6 (Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince) because he is serving detention with Professor Snape. In years 5 and 6, when Harry is not available, Ginny Weasley is Seeker for Gryffindor. Ron is Keeper for Gryffindor in years 5 and 6; Oliver Wood in years 1 through 3. Quidditch Players. Their responsibility is passing the Quaffle amongst themselves so as to be able to throw it through one of the adversaries' three hoops (or goal posts) in the field, while trying to keep it out of the hands of the opposing team's Chasers. A goal is worth 1. Keeper - Stationed at their team's goalpost, his job is to guard the goal posts and keep the opposite team from scoring. Beaters - their job is to protect their team, including themselves, from the Bludgers, and to hit the Bludgers into their rivals. They use a small bat, like the bat in Rounders, or a small baseball bat, to hit the Bludgers. Seeker - his job is to catch the small Golden Snitch before the rival team's Seeker catches it. When the Golden Snitch is caught, the game is finished; catching the Snitch is worth one hundred and fifty points. Ten points every time the Quaffle goes through one of the hoops. Rocket around, trying to knock players off their brooms. It's the most important ball of the lot. It's very hard to catch because it's so fast and difficult to see. We are told that the English national team were eliminated from the World Cup by Transylvania in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and that Scotland had lost to Luxembourg, and Wales to Uganda, in that year's World Cup competition. This leaves Ireland to defend the honour of the British Isles against Romania, which it does quite ably. It is interesting to note that the national boundaries for Quidditch do not follow modern political lines. The book Quidditch Through the Ages by . Of these, mention in the main books is made of the following five: The Chudley Cannons, Ron's favorite team. Ron bemoans their standing, last in the league, and the bad decisions made by their management in trading players. Professor Dumbledore actually mentions their dismal prospects once as well. The Holyhead Harpies, famous for always fielding a team made up entirely of witches. Professor Slughorn mentions that one of his ex- students is on that team, and she is present at the Slug Club Christmas party, though Harry does not see her. In a post- publication interview, the author said that Ginny Weasley played for the Harpies after graduation. Puddlemere United is the team that Oliver Wood plays for after graduation. The Wimbourne Wasps fielded Ludo Bagman as a Beater, arguably the best Beater they had ever had, and Ludo keeps hearkening back to his days on the team, even wearing his old Quidditch robes to the Quidditch World Cup. The Tutshill Tornados are Cho Chang's favorite Quidditch team, one she has supported since she was six years old. In 1. 99. 5, they won the British and Irish Quidditch League. Ron hates this team and resents the fact that many of its erstwhile fans started supporting it only when the Tornados won the league. Notable Consequences. The Boy Who Lived — yes, he's famous, but not through anything he had done himself, really; yes, he lived, and Lord Voldemort vanished, but it wasn't anything he had done, he was simply there when all this magic flowed around him, and since then he had lived in an environment where the magic was suppressed, even beaten out of him. He felt, from the beginning, intimidated both by wizards' children like Ron, who had grown up with magic as a matter of course, and Hermione, Muggle- born as Harry himself had been Muggle- reared, but who had, upon learning that she was a witch, promptly purchased and read all of the first- year textbooks and several others besides, with her parents' support. And he discovers flying, which he can do well, and it is good; and then he discovers that he is an excellent Seeker, and he becomes the star and the center of the house Quidditch team, and it is a source of confidence to him. It also is a tie back to his father, who was equally an excellent Quidditch player in his days at Hogwarts. It is through Quidditch that Harry achieves some of his greatest victories, winning the Quidditch Cup in his third year, coming to the notice of Cho Chang in that same year, and coaching the Gryffindor team to another victory in his sixth year. Ron, in the same way, sees benefits from his Quidditch experience: starting off as a poor player (. This confidence will show up again in later books. Analysis. Quidditch at the school is played in series, so that each point counts toward ultimate victory. There have been matches where Harry (or his replacement Seeker Ginny Weasley, in Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince) waited until Gryffindor was ahead by a certain number of goals so that when he caught the Snitch, Gryffindor would have enough overall points to win the Quidditch Cup. It appears that winning the Quidditch Cup is a large, though not overwhelming part, of winning the House Cup; we are never, however, told how many House points winning the Quidditch Cup gains for the winning team. There are several unanswered questions about Quidditch matches. One of the big ones has to do with the bludgers. They are bewitched to go after the players, but what stops them? Even when play is stopped, for a penalty or conference, the bludgers must go on trying to hit the players. Thus in theory, a penalty shot could be disrupted by a bludger, or a bludger could disable the referee, and the Beaters can never take a break, they have to be tracking the bludgers until they are safely returned to the crate at the end of the game. The most logical solution to this issue is to have the Bludgers charmed to not go after people on the ground just as they don't target people in the stands. As conferences and time outs are on the ground, this would allow the Beaters a break. Against this, however, we have the behaviour of the bludger when Oliver Wood was explaining the rules of the game to Harry; released from the crate, the bludger attacked Harry who, despite being on the ground, had to knock it away with his bat, and also attacked Oliver who caught it and returned it to he crate. Quidditch is an interesting game, in that it emphasizes both team and individual abilities in the separate playing positions. The Chasers act as a team, passing the ball between themselves, acting as a group to capture the ball from the opposing team, scoring goals against the opposing Keeper and defending their own. The Beaters also act as a team, keeping the Bludgers away from their own team and arranging their interference with the other team. The Seeker, generally orbiting high above the main game, is a solo performer, chasing down and capturing the minuscule Snitch. As such, a game of Quidditch could be seen as three games in one: a game of Chasers and Keeper, a game of Beaters, and a game of Seekers, all occurring on the same pitch at the same instant. Questions. One wonders, then, why Harry does not follow Quidditch in the Daily Prophet, tossing away Prophets after glancing at the front page, throughout the summer before his fifth year, and why he does not seem to miss Quidditch during his seventh year. It is possible that Quidditch is primarily a means by which he can get more flying time. Once his Firebolt is destroyed, it is possible that he simply sets aside his hopes of flying until his job, the destruction of Voldemort, is done. However, it still seems odd that Quidditch can be so all- consuming at school, and ignored through the summer. It is possible that Quidditch fades as the center of Harry's life over time as he gains confidence in his other magical abilities. Quidditch, and the associated flying abilities, are central to Harry's self- image in his early years, as it is here that he first is able to demonstrate competence that is truly his own, rather than provided by events in which he took no conscious part. Over the course of the story, however, we can see that Harry gains abilities and strengths of his own outside Quidditch, in his battles against Death Eaters and against Voldemort himself. This is highlighted by Harry's very different reactions to the loss of his Nimbus 2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and to the loss of his Firebolt in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The former was devastating, as we would expect from Harry's having made Quidditch central to his self- image; the latter is simply buried under other losses and more or less forgotten. By this time, also, rather than defining himself by his broom and his abilities with it, Harry seems to have defined himself by his wand and his abilities with that; when Harry's wand is accidentally broken, his reaction is similar to that which follows the loss of his Nimbus 2. ![]() It bundles some of the most useful Windows- related tools in one free download.

Review (A Free Data Wipe Program)Eraser is a free data destruction program that's able to wipe all the data off of an entire hard drive at once. Because it can also permanently delete individual files and folders, not just an entire drive, it's also a great free file shredder program. Eraser can be used to schedule data wipe tasks and supports lots of sanitization methods, making it a great way to evade file recovery programs. Note: This review is of Eraser version 6. Eraser is an advanced security tool, which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected.

You can setup a task to run immediately after it has been created, manually, on every restart, or recurring on a particular daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Eraser can use any of these data sanitization methods to securely remove data from a drive: Eraser currently supports Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2. I also tested Eraser in Windows 1. Eraser must be installed to your computer to use it. This means you can't erase the primary hard drive that's running Windows. For example, if you're using Eraser in Windows 8, you can't use it to remove all the Windows 8 files. For that, you must use a program that runs before the operating system is launched.

There's a lot to like about Eraser but it does have a couple of downsides: Pros: Supports deleting files, folders, and whole drives. Easy to use. Able to erase data on a schedule. Can replace removed files with custom ones. Supports most common sanitization methods. ![]() Integrates with Windows Explorer. Supports drag and drop. Scheduled tasks can be backed up. Cons: Can't wipe the drive that Windows is installed to. My Thoughts on Eraser. Eraser has a pretty simple design and the task creator couldn't be easier to use. It's easy to change the default delete method and you can clearly see how many passes each method will do when chosen. These are all the data sources Eraser supports: file, files in folders, Recycle Bin, unused disk space, secure move, and drive/partition. This means you can setup Eraser to securely empty the Recycle Bin every day, for example, or to delete the files in your Downloads folder on a schedule. Eraser even supports include/exclude masks for when you're deleting files within a folder so you can explicitly decide what get shredded and what remains. Something else I like about the scheduling preferences is that you can add multiple data sets, such as wiping the free space, deleting folders, and wiping a drive all into one schedule that can run at the designated time. That way you don't need to make different scheduling sets for each one when you're planning on running them at the same time anyway. When adding files and folder to the delete queue, you can drag and drop them directly into the program, which really speeds up the process of selecting the data you want to delete. Overall, I liked Eraser. It has more useful features and supports more data sanitization methods than most other data destruction programs. It should be your first pick if you're looking for a file shredder that doesn't run from a disc. ![]() ![]() Oprah. com. Download the Watch OWN app and access OWN anytime, anywhere.

Sky Trek is similar in some ways to other canopy tours in Costa Rica, but does have some significant differences. In general, it is much larger than other canopy tours – there are more zip lines and platforms, longer trails, and a series of suspension bridges. Furthermore, the construction here is of the highest quality, utilizing secure materials to ensure that visitors do not slip, trip or fall. The Sky Trek zip line does not require any kind of particular athletic ability. You only need to be able to sit down, remain calm, and focus your attention on the zip line you’re about to travel down—guides and gravity do the rest. An added benefit of taking this tour is that you’re also able to ride along the Sky Tram. Beginning in the main facilities at a lower elevation, tour takers mount the tram and enjoy a safe and scenic ride up the mountain. In total, the ride takes about 2. Once at the top, you’ll mount a series of steps and meet with your guides. Before you go flying down the zip lines, your guides will teach you the proper techniques, including how to hold onto the cable and how to position your body. They will make sure that your gear is properly adjusted and help you launch off from each platform. Unlike other zip lines in Costa Rica, you don’t need to worry about braking at the end of this one. Your guides will utilize a pulley system to slowly decrease your speed as you approach the next platform. Since your guides take care of starting and stopping you along each cable, you can relax and enjoy the ride. You are free to change your group order at any time during the tour, making it easy to go ahead or drop behind the rest of your party. This allows you the time and space to take photos and videos, or just catch your breath. See recent Sky Trek and Sky Tram photos.- There is a canopy observation tower that is 7.

Amazon Digital Services LLC**NO SPOILERS OR PLOT POINTS DISCUSSED**This review will only be for my opinion of the season overall, and the packaging, extras, and video/audio quality. Let me start by saying that Game of Thones is one of my favorite shows of all- time. The story is brutal and tragic, yet engrossing and compelling. The characters are wonderfully written, and everything from character motivations to the dialogue and action sequences are superb. The show also has top notch production values, as the environment, props, and wardrobes look magnificent. GOT is a beauty. The packaging is awesome, as it has been on all of the season blu rays. The discs are in flip book, which go into a sleeve, which has a paper sleeve over top of it all. This season has black and brown artwork, which looks lovely. Very happy with the packaging. The insert also has a complete character guide, breaking down the different families/houses, and a full map of Westeros. Very cool! All 1. Extras include a complete guide to Westeros, making of featurette, in episode guides, histories and lore, audio commentaries, deleted scenes, and a plethora of behind the scenes featurettes. The episodes look amazing on blu ray. The 1. 08. 0p really shines on this series, and everything look breathtakingly beautiful. The characters, scenery, wardrobes, etc all look excellent.
