Witchcraft and Wizardry. He'd figured out years ago that the best way to deal with hexes or a flying shoe was to put up a Shield Charm and watch the shoe bounce right back and hit the owner in the face. (The people who liked throwing their shoes had long since ended that habit.) Newt could deal with the people who skirted around him in the corridor when he stepped out from his classrooms. It had something to do with his strange affection for all magical creatures. It had something to do with his…

After reading Miss Peregrine 's Home for Peculiar Children I found that my favorite quote, from the prologue section of the book, was after Jacob begins to doubt his grandfather 's stories. "It wasn 't until a few years later that my dad explained it to me: Grandpa had told him some of the same stories when he was a kid, and they weren 't lies, exactly, but exaggerated versions of the truth - because the story of Grandpa Portman 's childhood wasn 't a fairy tale at all.

And there is no magical solution for people to be able to easily do it. He said there are two classes of qualities of a software: 1. Essential qualities/difficulties: difficult to address and improve 2. Accidental qualities/difficulties: can be improved via tool support…

is useless, unless you have an idea of what you need. You have to hit a golf ball for yourself, without any preconceived notions of how you’re supposed to do it to really learn- just stop thinking, and take a whack at it. I’m going to tell you a story about the greatest shot of my young life. It was this year, on a strange-looking dog-leg left, uphill. It was eighty degrees out, and the bees were buzzing, though it…

Over 1400 years of Christian deaths at the hands of jihadists means that they were not true Muslims and that the 22,000 jihadic attacks since 9/11 are not authentic. The annihilation of Christianity in Turkey, Middle East and Africa is not the result of “proper reading of the Koran”. The Pope is the perfect candidate for magical thinking and idiot compassion.
