Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Friday, 26 December 2014 posted at 04:55
Harry starts off his third year at Hogwarts rather
eventfully when he inadvertently blows up his Aunt Marge, goes on the run, and
is then personally absolved by the Minister of Magic himself. He then learns
that mass murderer, Sirius Black, is intent on killing him, and Mr. Weasley
makes him promise a strange thing, that no matter what he hears he won’t go
looking for Black. Confused, Harry agrees.As he heads back to school armed with this knowledge,he learns that dementors, evil, soul-sucking creatures, have been stationedaround Hogwarts to protect the students from Black. The dementors affect Harrymuch more than the other students because of his terrible past, and he quicklyresolves to learn to defend himself when he begins collapsing every time theycome near. He finds a willing teacher in Professor Lupin, thenew DefenseAgainst the Dark Arts professor, who begins teaching Harry the Patronus Charm,which is the only spell that will work against the foul creatures.As the school year progresses, the third year students
are buried under piles of homework. Hermione is already stressed out due to her
enormous course load, and none of them can figure out how she’s getting to all
her classes. It doesn’t help that Hermione’s cat, Crookshanks, repeatedly tries to eat Ron’s rat, Scabbers, causing the two friends to argue ceaselessly about the animals. They stop speaking entirely when it’s discovered that Crookshanksseems to have eaten Scabbers and Ron is devastated.Harry has a few close calls with
Black when he breaksinto the
castle, but Black is not apprehended. Things come to a climax as
theschool year ends when a number of events occur. First, Ron’s
rat, Scabbers,turns out to still be alive and is really a wizard in
disguise. This wizard,
Peter Pettigrew, has chosen to hide himself in this way so that he can spy on Harry and his friends on behalf of Lord Voldemort. Harry learns that it was Peter, and not Sirius Black, that betrayed his parents to Voldemort. Just when Harry is sure Peter is finally going to be punished for his crimes, he escapes
into the night.Sirius, long thought to be a mass murderer and Voldemort supporter, turns out to be innocent. Harry also learns that Sirius is his godfather. He’s overjoyed when, for a moment, he thinks he might be finally free of the Dursleys and able to live with Sirius, but Sirius has to go on the run from the Ministry to avoid being apprehended.Professor Lupin, Harry’s favourite teacher, ends up resigning his post when it’s discovered that he’s a werewolf. He narrowly avoids attacking the kids, and it’s Sirius that saves their lives when he turns into a huge shaggy dog to protect them.It’s an action-packed year to be sure, but Harry is very happy that Sirius makes it out safely and is finally free from Azkaban.He’s comforted by the fact that he finally has a family-member, so to speak,out there watching over him.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Monday, 15 December 2014 posted at 06:32
The first book begins with an introduction to Gregory "Greg" Heffley and his middle school life. It takes place during his first year of middle school. The book also explains the "Cheese Touch" early on. It is just like cooties but more intense. In the book, a kid named Darren Walsh touches the cheese with his finger. It is passed around the school, and later gets to Abe Hall, who moved to California still holding the Cheese Touch.
In the first half of the book, Rowley and Greg endure events such as Halloween, learning how to wrestle, and acting in the play of The Wizard of Oz as a tree. During trick-or-treating on Halloween night, Greg and Rowley are ambushed by a group of teenagers. They take refuge at Greg's grandmother's house and taunt the teenagers from there by making sounds and faces at them. This upsets Greg's mom, who orders them to come home. They do come home, but get a surprise when they come to the driveway—Greg's father drenches the two friends with a trash can full of water.
On Christmas day, Greg writes that he gets very few presents that he likes. He does not get the one thing he really wants, a video game called Twisted Wizard, but instead gets a red sweater because his parents mix the presents up, an 8 x 10 picture of his uncle, and a Big Wheel. Manny gets all the presents that he wanted, making Greg more frustrated. Greg then throws a football at Rowley while the latter is riding the Big Wheel, breaking his hand. At school, Rowley is surrounded by girls because he is injured, which makes Greg mad because he wants more attention from girls.

Bee Venom Kills HIV Cells
Tuesday, 25 November 2014 posted at 03:26
The bee venom toxin was visibly observed to destroy the viral
components of HIV while leaving healthy cells unharmed.They
observed that the substance did not visibly affect these healthy
cells at all, illustrating the unique nature of the bee venom in
differentiating between the cells it is supposed to attack, and the
cells it is supposed to leave unharmed.Because bee venom
specifically destroys the outer layer of the virus, which results in
the virus itself dying, there is little or no chance of resistance ever
developing."Theoretically, melittin nanoparticles are not
susceptible to HIV mutational resistance seen with standard HIV
therapies," added the research team.
