This is important, I think, because wands are not just weapons, but tools the witch or wizard uses to perform many different kinds of magic, for good as well as for evil. Wands are made of wood ’ this is a very warm and soft material to hold ’ unlike a gun or a knife, which are very hard and cold. The wand is the only device that is versatile and multi-purpose, and, it would seem, is essential for effective defensive magic if it is to be used in a focused and controlled way. 11 But these devices are used for convenience, and have one use only. There are other magical devices used in the Harry Potter stories, such as the ˜put-outer', a device which puts out street lights so that Wizards can go about their business unseen by Muggles, 10 or the Quick-Quotes Quill used by Rita Skeeter, a quill which writes by itself, freeing the interviewer to concentrate on the interviewee. Had he had his wand in his hand, and been allowed to practice magic with it, he probably would have chosen a different method of retaliation ’ perhaps one to silence her. 9 Although Harry feels she deserves this, it wasn't an intended effect, but rather happened because he had become so angry with her. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Harry accidentally ˜blows up' aunt Marge: Aunt Marge makes insulting remarks about Harry's parents, and suddenly finds herself ˜swelling' until she drifts up into the air. You can do unfocused and uncontrolled magic without a wand (for instance when Harry blows up Aunt Marge) but to do really good spells¦you need a wand. However, the effects are not necessarily planned or focused. 7 These incidences seem to occur when the individual is scared or angry, when they have a very strong emotion. For example, when Harry makes the glass of a snake enclosure vanish when he is angry with his cousin Dudley, 6 or when Neville is accidentally dropped from a second storey window and rather than being hurt, bounces down the garden. There is evidence in the Harry Potter series that children are able to do magic before this. It would seem that children are taken to buy their first wands prior to going to magical school. 5 The significance of this will be examined later in the essay. We then learn that the phoenix who gave the tail feather gave only one other ’ and that made up the core of the wand of Lord Voldemort. ![]() Well, well, well ¦ how curious ¦how very curious ¦." 4 He cried "Oh Bravo! Yes indeed, oh, very good. Ollivander seems to be with the wand that has chosen Harry. The other interesting thing is just how impressed Mr. There are two interesting points I noted in this scene ’ firstly, that the sparks produced are red and gold¦ this may foreshadow that Harry will become a Gryffindor, whose colours are red and gold, or may be because the wand contains a feather from the tail of a phoenix, whose feathers are red and gold. He raised the wand above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on the walls. Finally Harry is handed a wand made from holly and phoenix feather: Harry purchases his first wand from Ollivander's ’ "Makers of fine wands since 382 BC." 2 For this he has to be carefully measured, and tries out several wands, but nothing happens. Rowling's ideas about wands in the world of Harry Potter and will add some of my own. Ollivander 1Īh, wouldn't we all love a wand?

![]() This will actually give you the opportunity to see the city at “night” just prior to sunrise. One unique part of the Empire State Building is that they do offer sunrise visits on select Saturdays. Having the city laid out in front of you, all the way down to One World Trade, is going to be a panorama you won’t soon forget. While you can’t see the Empire State Building from the Empire State Building, the views are still one of a kind. When purchasing tickets, you can opt for one or both of these for your visit. The ESB is home to two observation decks – the 86 th floor outdoor deck and the 102 nd floor indoor deck. The last observation deck, and perhaps most iconic, is the Empire State Building. The lights really do pop out more at night against the dark sky and the glowing city. This is one observation deck that will really look different at night because of those art installations. You can head up “Ascent” which is the world’s largest external glass bottomed elevator and you can visit “Air” – an installation full of mirrors and reflective spheres. While the views will be some of the best you can ask for, there are some more artistic and thrilling parts at Summit One. If you are looking for an observation deck with more of an overall experience, then Summit One Vanderbilt is for you. Not only that, but you will also have a vantage point of Staten Island, New Jersey, Brooklyn, and plenty iconic NYC buildings all around. This is the only observatory located in downtown Manhattan and gives visitors some of the best views of the NYC skyline.įrom the observatory you will have the entirety of Manhattan out in front of you, in addition to great views of the Statue of Liberty. On the top few floors of the building you will find the One World Observatory. This is also the tallest building in NYC! Located near the southern tip of Manhattan is One World Trade (also known as the Freedom Tower). ![]() You may just get the tail end of sunset before the city turns dark (but then can visit the deck afterwards!). Note that the last climb for City Climb is between 5:00PM – 7:00PM depending on time of year. Here you will actually be able to walk along the edge of the building as you are strapped into a harness. Or you can stare down the glass bottom portion of the deck all the way to street level.įor those adventurers out there, The Edge offers a City Climb experience. On the deck you will find a giant staircase to sit down on and enjoy the view. The Edge offers an outdoor triangular shaped deck with views of all of the top landmarks just nearby. Located in the Hudson Yards area of NYC, you will find the highest outdoor sky deck on top of The Edge. There will be no glass in front of you to block any of the beautiful surroundings. The main reason I enjoy it so much is because the top floor of the observation deck offers an unobstructed outdoor view. Situated in the heart of midtown Manhattan is the Top of the Rock observation deck, high above Rockefeller Center.Īlthough it is not the highest of observation decks, it does offer quite the outdoor experience.įrom the multi-level outdoor decks you will have full 360 degree views of the surroundings.Ĭentral Park will be to the north and One World Trade is to the south, with plenty more in between. They are all open well into the evening, so you should have no issue getting those nighttime NYC skyline views. This will give you the chance to (hopefully) see the skies light up with color as the sun sets, as well as those nighttime views right after.īelow are the five observation decks to choose from when going about a visit. Observation Deck Tip: head on over to an observation deck just prior to sunset. With all the buildings lighting up and the cars filling up the streets, the views will be that much more special to take in. Getting to enjoy those views at night will also be a whole different experience than seeing them during the day. Within Manhattan you will find 5 different observation decks with mind blowing views of NYC. Enjoy Skyline Views at an NYC Observation DeckĮven though I have lived in NYC for the last 10 year, the views of the city from above never get old. Let’s just get right into the list and talk through what you can put on your NYC itinerary during a visit to the city. ![]() Thanks for supporting the work I put into TripTins! 1) Things To Do in New York at Night * Affiliate Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you make a purchase through the links provided, at no additional cost to you. 3) Things To Do in New York City at Night Recap. ![]() Product Description 8 – 43. 30 inches wide x 39 inches deep x 68 inches tall.Propane Cylinder Refill Locations Getting your propane cylinder refilled is easy and convenient.

I did edit something out of this collection – there was a short film by Pixar that was an Academy Award-winner featured before the movie, but I pulled it out of this clip and instead, will feature it in…a bonus episode! That will be posted tomorrow! I was big on Phil Collins in high school! Tina from Movie Surfers (remember that?) talks Tarzan and the music behind it!Īdmittedly, I haven’t seen this one (no interest), but I love the music. One of a few Disney movies I still haven’t seen… One of many cartoons that inspired a Disney ride… Admittedly, I’ve only seen it once – ironically, during the “cool” phase of my teen years, but it was cute! I won’t give it away – unless you’ve been on it, you know what happens □ – but my extended family on my mom’s side (her aunt, uncle, their five children, and all their grandchildren – I think there were six at the time – there’s ten now) went a month after we did, and we told them to see the show, without letting slip about the surprise.Īfter we got home, we bought this video, and I loved the movie. My family went to Animal Kingdom during our 1999 visit (we were in Disney in March/April 1997, and Animal Kingdom didn’t open until exactly a year later), and went to a show called “It’s Tough to Be a Bug!” (it’s still there), which featured characters from A Bug’s Life, and a special surprise before you leave the theater. I’ve been back several times since then – 2002 with my friend Kristin, 2007 with my mom for a “girls’ weekend,” and most recently in October 2019 for my honeymoon/37th birthday/husband’s first visit (he grew up 90 minutes from Anaheim, so he went to Disneyland, which I’ve been to twice, and love!). My family bought this movie after coming home from our Disney World vacation in April 1999, the last one we took as a family. Yesterday, we remembered the magic of 1996 during Walt Disney World’s 25th Anniversary, while watching upcoming previews for Disney movies, as featured on the 1996 print of Disney/Pixar’s first effort, Toy Story. Today, we move forward to 1999, with Disney/Pixar’s first VHS print of A Bug’s Life. ![]() Regarding bans the most common to be dished out is a Account and Console ban as usually they will ban the console the account was signed in on. PSN NINJA is completely out dated and does not offer the same as PSN Patch and SEN Enabler in terms of up to date features, so don't use it. The same as above or the method I used which involves using CCAPI and PSN Patch which can be a little bit easier use, as all you do when set up correctly is disable the syscals, but can be a bit more complicated to set up and I would only use this way if you mod games and stuff like me. If your on CEX you can use SEN Enabler to spoof your FW version to 4.83, disable the syscals with it (one of the ways your PS3 communicates info about your PS3 to the PSN servers and the basic way they detect CFW on your PS3) then you can sign into PSN. DEX or CEX? Nothing you do is 100% safe when you're using CFW but there are ways to minimise the risk. On reconnecting to the PS3 It showed error Couldnt Start.There are 3 methods on REBUG depending how you have it set up. I connected it to my Laptop but it didnt recognize it Since my friend wanted call of duty i tried to copy it from the 1TB HDD connected to the PS3 There was multiman among it but not the black round face icon something different I didnt have the separate crab like icon in the menu On bootup the screen displays as PS3 (not rebug or something else) HI I am totaly new to all these modding and ps3Īfter days of browsing i got so much confused with HAN, Jailbreak, modding, rebug, ferrox, multiman, so on You’ll know when it worked when the PS3 beeps and shuts down all by itself. It may take many tries to get the exploit to work (it took me 3 hours of rebooting until it finally worked). Turn on your PS3 and then when the prompt to scan the hard drive for errors comes up press O (circle) to cancel it, load the web browser back up and try the exploit again. After a few seconds your PS3 will shut down. If your PS3 freezes (the virtual mouse won’t respond) for more than 10 minutes power down the PS3 by holding the power button down (the one on the PS3 itself). The process should only take a couple of minutes as the PS3 will beep and then shut itself down if the code injection exploit worked. Once the exploit is successfully loaded it will then patch your NOR/NAND flash memory with the code contained in the “flsh.hex“ file which should be plugged into the right most USB port. ![]() The exploit will now start itself and you’ll be greeted by some green text saying it was successful (this may take a little while to do). If your console has a NAND chip select “nand-482.html” or if it has NOR select “nor-482.html” and then select the “Write to NOR/NAND flash memory”. Next take the “flsh.hex“ file contained in the “hex-482-COPY-TO-USB-ONLY-IF-482-FIRMWARE-OR-WILL-SOFTBRICK” folder and place it on the root of your FAT32 formatted USB drive. Now select the files “nand-482.html”, “nor-482.html” and “xp_rel_writer10.js” files and move them into the htdocs folder you just created. You’ll want to download and extract the “ NOR_NAND_writer_release_1.0_PS3Xploit.zip” into a folder your desktop and then inside of that folder create another folder named “htdocs”. It is highly suggested not to use another person/organizations remote webpage to hack you PS3 with as it may contain harmful code or it may steal important files from your PS3 – play it safe and host it yourself. This is accomplished by using a small web server program that will host the exploit files which you will access from your PS3. ![]() The actual exploit that allows CFW installation is a webkit exploit (a bug was found in the Internet browser that is built into the PS3 that allows for CFW to be installed). Congrats, you now have an exploitable firmware. You’ll follow the same steps you took for the MVC Firmware Checker, but this time instead of displaying the minver it will update your console (same deal just copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file from the 4.82 OFW archive you downloaded, place it on your FAT32 formatted USB drive under PS3 -> UPDATE and then run the update). Make sure to disconnect your PS3 from the Internet and take out any game discs before proceeding. I suggest not using the built in firmware update option using the Internet, but downloading the 4.82 firmware and updating the system manually. If it is 4.81 or less you’ll need to upgrade to the latest firmware. To check to see which firmware version you’re currently using go to (Settings) > (System Settings) > (System Information). Currently the only firmware version you can hack is 3.56 and lower (this is not covered in this guide) or firmware version 4.82. ![]() ![]() ![]() The nonprofit’s many projects include providing information on family building for any individual or couple, no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Family Equality Council provides many valuable resources to LGBTQ+ parents and those who want to become parents. Family Equality CouncilĪlthough millions of LGBTQ+ individuals and couples become parents and caregivers every year - whether through biological means, adoption or foster care - many same-sex couples report being discriminated against or excluded on the road to parenthood, according to the Center for American Progress. Meanwhile, the organization’s Intersex Human Rights Fund backs initiatives that promote the health and inclusion of the world’s intersex people, who are often overlooked even within LGBTQ+ charities. The Astraea Global Arts Fund funds artistic projects by LGBTQ+ individuals or groups in music, film, fiction, dance and theater, poetry, painting and photography. About half of Astraea’s grants go to U.S.-based recipients, while half go to international projects. You might want to donate to the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice - a philanthropic organization that funds LGBTQ+ initiatives around the world - if you’re especially interested in the arts or global issues affecting LGBTQI populations. The Point Foundation’s college scholarship fund helps incoming LGBTQ+ students who demonstrate financial need, academic achievement and a history of active community leadership and service to pay for their education. The Point Foundation, one of the only LGBTQ+ nonprofits that offers college scholarships to LGBTQ+ high school seniors, aims to make campuses more welcoming and accessible for every student. LGBTQ+ college students are more likely to report having experienced sexual harassment, exclusionary or hostile conduct from peers or faculty, and even threats to their physical safety than their straight and cisgender counterparts.

Meanwhile, the HRC’s HIV and Health Equity Program runs public health campaigns centered around HIV prevention and produces HIV/AIDS-related stigma-fighting media, such as videos, PSAs and publications. The HRC’s Corporate Equality Index and Healthcare Equality Index, for example, offer ways to measure LGBTQ+ diversity and inclusivity in the workplace, in senior care and assisted living facilities and in healthcare settings. The HRC is responsible for implementing several programs that address the persistent forms of stigma, intolerance and inequality that affect LGBTQ+ communities. With over three million supporters, its comprehensive approach to health, wellness and inclusivity helps LGBTQ+ individuals and populations worldwide. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation is one of the best-known LGBTQ+ charities in the U.S. The Trevor Project also offers expert-led suicide prevention and mental health crisis intervention training sessions for teachers, school nurses, counselors and others who can make a difference in a young person’s life. Your donation would help to fund crucial suicide prevention tools like the Trevor Lifeline, the only 24/7 suicide prevention helpline explicitly aimed at LGBTQ+ youth. The Trevor Project, founded in 1998, addresses this health disparity with a number of crisis interventions and community resources.
