Why is the Harry Potter fandom starting to turn against JK Rowling?
Because she is becoming the George Lucas of the writing world.She created a popular book series which, while not perfect, attracted a large and loyal fanbase.And then the fame went to her head, and she started making changes. She started telling people that they had misunderstood, or that she had never specified, or that she had meant, something completely contrary to the contents of the books which they loved.She tried to fix some of her mistakes. The very first time I noticed this was when the audiobook of the Goblet of Fire had Lily Potter coming out of the connected wands before James. It was based on more correct internal logic - she had died after him, so she was a more recent death - but it wasn’t how it was written in the first edition of the book. Books are not works in progress. Mistakes should be fixed in writing or editing. After that, they’re out there. People have read them, and they are part of the story.Then she started not just correcting obvious mistakes but making changes to her established canon. It seemed like she was making these changes in an attempt to stay relevant - making Dumbledore gay, when there was no real evidence for it, seemed as though it was just pandering to a newer, more LGBT-friendly generation. Making Hermione black, when there was no indication of it in the series (and in fact fairly solid evidence against it), appeared to be further pandering to the social issue of the day.Pottermore and the ‘official’ fanfictions it publishes are the literary equivalent of the Special Editions of Star Wars. The faction insisting on a white Hermione are not racist - they are simply the ‘Han Shot First’-ers of the HP fandom.Rejecting JK Rowling’s edited extended universe is the same as rejecting George Lucas’ ridiculous CG ‘improvements’.
What is the scientifically recommended first aid treatment for snake bite?
No experience with snake bites, since I live and worked in The Netherlands.From: Treating Snake BitesRecent studies have concluded that the following protocols are best: Stay calm, get safely away from the snake, and have someone call 9-1-1 (or the emergency number in your area). The less the victim moves the bitten site, the less likely the venom will be spread through the body and cause damage.Have the victim lie down with the affected limb lower than the heart. Keep the limb immobilized. If practical, splint the limb.Treat for shock and preserve body heat.Remove any rings, bracelets, boots, or other restricting items from the bitten extremity. (It WILL swell.)Apply a light constricting band about 2" above and below the bite, however never place the bands on either side of a joint (such as above and below the knee or elbow). This band should be made up of wide, soft material, which could be a handkerchief or shredded clothing. The band should only be as tight as the band the nurse applies when taking a blood test.NOTE: The purpose of constricting bands is to restrict lymphatic flow, not blood, so they should not be too tight. Check pulses below the bands and readjust the bands as necessary when they tighten due to swelling.Wash the bite with soap and water (if available).If the victim has to walk out, sit calmly for 20-30 minutes to let the venom localize at the site, then proceed calmly to the nearest source of help and try to avoid unnecessary exertion which will stimulate circulation of the venom.Get the victim to definitive medical care for antivenin, which will provide the greatest relief from the toxic effects of the bite.ACTIONS TO AVOID:DO NOT cut the bite. The additional tissue damage may actually increase the diffusion of the toxins throughout the body.DO NOT apply a tourniquet. Such action can result in the loss of the limb.NEVER try to suck out the venom by mouth. You can try the suction cup in a snakebite kit if it doesn't delay other needed treatment. Suctioning seldom provides any measurable advantages, however.Do not apply cold and/or ice packs. Recent studies indicate that application of cold or ice makes the injury much worse.
What is the correct thing to do when a female bends over in front of you and you can see down her shirt?
I had friend, a girl, who was not my girlfriend, she had a boyfriend. I was single at that time. We hanged out together a lot. There was some sexual tension between us, but since she was in relationship nothing really happened between us.One day we were driving in my car. She had a polo shirt with all top buttons unbottoned. It was hot. Every time I would look to my right, I could see her perky breast and her nipple, covered, but completely visible from my angle.I tried not to stare, but it was in my peripheral vision all the time.We stopped at a red light and I had an impulse to just go for it. I leaned to her, opened the shirt to release the full breast and took her nipple into my mouth. I expected a slap, a yelling, but she did not react. I must have kissed, sucked and licked her nipple for about a minute.Drivers in other cars probably saw everything.At green light (I don’t remember if she said anything or if I noticed it), I straightened up and we drove off. Neither of us said anything all the way to her home (some time later she said this was the sexiest part). Her breast remained uncovered. She only fixed her shirt when we turned into her street - her parents or neighbours could be outside.Nothing really changed between us. This didn’t ruin our friendship, and it never progressed further. The sexual tension and some teasing remained between us though.So to answer the question - don’t do this unless you feel very strongly it will be accepted. I’ve never done something like that with someone who was not my girlfriend except that one time.I have looked many times, tried not to stare, but was still caught several times. Reactions were varied - from stern looks to smiles or even a wink. So I guess some women do it intentionally, but you can’t really know until you see their reaction.
How much BORAX does it take to harm kittens?
I have 6 week old kittens I found outside covered in fleas. I have since gotten rid of the problem on the kittens and treated my area rugs (short pile) with a mixture of BORAX and salt. (a flea remedy I found here and on many other sites) It worked great and I was very careful to make sure all the excess powder was vaccummed up entirely before I let the kittens back in the room. Well, since that day I have to vaccum everyday because the BORAX keeps working its way up to the surface of the rug. I am scared the kittens might ingest a little of the BORAX if I can't get it vacummed in time. It is always only a very small amount of granuals that work their way to the surface...BUT I AM SCARED! Has anyone tried this method and how long until the BORAX works itself all the way out of the carpet? Can the kittens handle a little of it or none at all?
How do you normally buy suits and accessories (shoes, belt, tie, etc)?
I keep a limited inventory of essential suits, belts, shoes, and ties, and buy a few distinctive accessories annually.A good suit, when well-cared for, can last a long time. Most of my suits are J. Crew, with one exception being a black suit from Uniqlo, but I have found them to be of perfectly acceptable quality for what I do. Quality is important, to be sure, but I get fantastic results out of my suits, which are all essentially middle market. There aren’t many places here in the US that offer the slim cut and construction I want, but I have trusted brands that I will return to when I’m in the market for a new suit (or wait until I’m in Italy again).Owning one suit each in navy, black, and grey—as well as one tuxedo—is enough. For shoes, two pairs each (formal, informal) in black and brown are fine, with matching belts. I replace the older shoes as necessary, and try to keep my shoe collection pared down to a minimum. I am very picky about the construction and look of my shoes, so this is usually the purchase decision that takes the most time and research.The distinctive accessories I buy keep things fresh and give me a steady rotation of interesting outfit combinations. This can be anything from collar pins to cufflinks to a whole new matching belt/shoe set.A lot of that is unnecessary if your job is just customer-facing in a sales capacity, but I attend multiple galas and high-end parties in a year; I find it suits me to look different enough at each event. Hence, accessories provide little tweaks to the tried and true suit formula and make go-to outfits fresh and new.
