"But there isn't much life left in her: she put too much into the diary, into me. The trigger in the case of the diary was Ginny pouring enough of her soul into the diary that Riddle was strong enough to leave. The trigger for this in the case of the locket was Harry opening the locket through Parseltongue. They live, they wait, they prey and - when powerful enough and when the circumstances allow - they speak and break out of the confines of their Horcrux. On both cases, neither of them are exactly memories. In other words, the locket-Riddle behaves and acts remarkably like the diary-Riddle. Ron yelled in shock and backed away as the figures blossomed out of the locket, first chests, then waists, then legs, until they stood in the locket, side by side like trees with a common root. Out of the locket's two windows, out of the eyes, there bloomed, like two grotesque bubbles, the heads of Harry and Hermione, weirdly distorted. It speaks, it channels Harry and Hermione and it even bursts out of the confines of its object to become a physical apparition. During this scene it proves its sentience. The locket speaks with Riddle's voice and contains Riddle's eye because it contains a piece of Riddle. " Least loved, always, by the mother who craved a daughter.least loved, now, by the girl who prefers your cond best, always, eternally over-shadowed." "Stab!" shouted Harry his voice echoed off the surrounding trees, the sword point trembled, and Ron gazed down into Riddle's eyes. ![]() All that you desire is possible, but all that you fear is also possible." " I have seen your dreams, Ronald Weasley, and I have seen your fears. ![]() "Don't listen to it!" Harry said harshly. " I have seen your heart, and it is mine." Then a voice hissed from out of the Horcrux. Voldemort is cruel and manipulative, and therefore so is the locket. The locket-Horcrux replicates the character and personality of the man whose soul it contains. The soul piece in the Horcrux is audible, beats faster when excited and is even able to attempt executions. ![]() (Deathly Hallows, Chapter 19, The Silver Doe). It was not weed: the chain of the Horcrux had tightened and was slowly constricting his wind pipe. He thought of water weeds, though nothing had brushed him as he dived, and raised his empty hand to free himself. Then something tightened around his neck. (Deathly Hallows, Chapter 17, Bathilda's Secret). Did it know, could it sense, that the thing that would destroy it was near? Harry became aware of the locket against his skin the thing inside it that sometimes ticked or beat had woken he could feel it pulsing through the cold gold. (Deathly Hallows, Chapter 14, The Thief). Was it his own blood pulsing through his veins that he could feel, or was it something beating inside the locket, like a tiny metal heart? After a moment or two, Harry thought he knew what Ron meant. Rather, they are living and listening spirits which respond to what's happening around them. We see from the locket in Deathly Hallows that soul pieces in Horcruxes are not dormant, static objects which wait silently in storage. Kevin makes this point but I thought I'd add a longer answer to explain why exactly this is the case. It was actually an alert and living soul piece which had access to Lord Voldemort's memory and life experiences at the moment the Horcrux was created. Consequently, Riddle describes the diary as a memory bank. Voldemort, naturally, was very secretive about his Horcruxes and would never name a Horcrux for what it really is under any circumstances. The confusion is created because Voldemort is the one who describes the diary as a book of memories. Voldemort placed his memories inside the diary alongside his soul when he turned it into a Horcrux. As the quote says, the memories were infused into the diary in a "more lasting way than ink" - what kind of magic would enable this to happen? How did Tom Riddle infuse the diary with his own memories? (I realize that Tom Riddle used a quill and ink to write the words into the diary what I'm asking is how the memories became embedded in the diary, and how they remained sentient.). ‘I mean that this diary holds memories of terrible things. ‘What do you mean?’ Harry scrawled, blotting the page in his excitement. But I always knew that there would be those who would not want this diary read.’ ‘ Lucky that I recorded my memories in some more lasting way than ink. ![]() ‘Someone tried to flush it down a toilet.’ He waited eagerly for Riddle’s reply. These words, too, faded away, but not before Harry had started to scribble back. Not only did it store a portion of Voldemort's soul, but it had the ability to allow Voldemort to possess others, to make emotional connections with another, and to lead them to open the Chamber of Secrets. How did Tom Riddle get his memories into the diary?ĭumbledore explains to Harry in Half-Blood Prince that out of all the Horcruxes, the diary is both a Horcrux and a weapon.

At the 92nd Academy Awards, the film was nominated for Best Animated Feature. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World received several awards and nominations: five nominations for Annie Awards and a Golden Globe. It grossed over $525 million worldwide, becoming the fifth highest-grossing animated film of 2019, as well as Universal's highest-grossing animated film not to be produced by Illumination. Like its predecessors, it received acclaim from critics, who praised its animation, voice acting, musical score, and emotional weight of the conclusion. The film marks the first DreamWorks Animation film to be distributed by Universal Pictures, two years after parent company NBCUniversal acquired DreamWorks Animation in 2016. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World was released on January 3, 2019, in Australia, and on February 22 in the United States. The animation challenges of the production required DreamWorks Animation to update and invent new software to handle complex tasks, such as lighting the Light Fury dragon. ![]() The film underwent changes for release dates due to distributor changes. DeBlois stated that the first sequel was being intentionally designed as the second act of the trilogy. The first discussions about a second sequel to How to Train Your Dragon began in December 2010 when DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg announced that there would be a third film in the series. The film follows Hiccup as he seeks a dragon utopia known as the "Hidden World" while coming to terms with Toothless' new bond with a female Fury, as they deal with the threat of a ruthless dragon hunter named Grimmel the Grisly. Written and directed by Dean DeBlois and produced by Bonnie Arnold and Brad Lewis, the film stars the voices of Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, Craig Ferguson, and F. Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures, it is the sequel to How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014) and the third and final installment in the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy.

Spotlight will index a document up to around 8.2K and no further. I tried this experiment in another document with another name with the same results.

Its integral policy of "neutral point-of-view" was codified in its first few months. The name originated from a blend of the words wiki and encyclopedia. The domains (later redirecting to ) and were registered on January 12, 2001, and January 13, 2001, respectively, and Wikipedia was launched on Janu as a single English-language edition at and announced by Sanger on the Nupedia mailing list. On January 10, 2001, Sanger proposed on the Nupedia mailing list to create a wiki as a "feeder" project for Nupedia. Wales is credited with defining the goal of making a publicly editable encyclopedia, while Sanger is credited with the strategy of using a wiki to reach that goal. Nupedia was initially licensed under its own Nupedia Open Content License, but before Wikipedia was founded, Nupedia switched to the GNU Free Documentation License at the urging of Richard Stallman. Its main figures were Bomis CEO Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, editor-in-chief for Nupedia and later Wikipedia. It was founded on March 9, 2000, under the ownership of Bomis, a web portal company. Wikipedia began as a complementary project for Nupedia, a free online English-language encyclopedia project whose articles were written by experts and reviewed under a formal process. Various collaborative online encyclopedias were attempted before the start of Wikipedia, but with limited success. Wikipedia founders Jimmy Wales (left) and Larry Sanger (right) Articles on breaking news are often accessed as a source of frequently updated information about those events. On 3 April 2018, Facebook and YouTube announced that they would help users detect fake news by suggesting fact-checking links to related Wikipedia articles. It has been censored by world governments, ranging from specific pages to the entire site. The website's coverage of controversial topics such as American politics and major events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine has received substantial media attention. The reliability of Wikipedia was frequently criticized in the 2000s, but has improved over time, as Wikipedia has been generally praised in the late 2010s and early 2020s. It has been criticized for exhibiting systemic bias, particularly gender bias against women and ideological bias. Wikipedia has been praised for its enablement of the democratization of knowledge, extent of coverage, unique structure, culture, and reduced degree of commercial bias. In 2006, Time magazine stated that the policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the "biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in the world". Its combined editions comprise more than 60 million articles, attracting around 2 billion unique device visits per month and more than 15 million edits per month (about 5.7 edits per second on average) as of January 2023. Initially available only in English, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Wales was influenced by the " spontaneous order" ideas associated with Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian School of economics after being exposed to these ideas by the libertarian economist Mark Thornton. Sanger coined its name as a blend of wiki and encyclopedia. Wikipedia was launched by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on January 15, 2001. It is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American non-profit organization funded mainly through donations. It is consistently one of the 10 most popular websites ranked by Similarweb and formerly Alexa as of 2023, Wikipedia was ranked the 5th most popular site in the world. Wikipedia is the largest and most-read reference work in history. Wikipedia is a multilingual free online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteers, known as Wikipedians, through open collaboration and using a wiki-based editing system called MediaWiki. Most text is also dual-licensed under GFDL media licensing varies The key word is “good.” There are rotten reflectors as well as rotten refractors. You can see hundreds of objects with a good 4.5″ scope.Ī 60-mm aperture is too small to provide a good view of much more than the Moon and bright open clusters like M45, the Pleiades. A very common size is 4.5″, and 4.5″ is plenty of aperture for a first scope. So a typical low-end reflector will be 4″ or so in diameter. Mirrors are easier to make than lenses, so within any particular price range reflectors tend to be larger. Most small hobby killers tend to be refractors (with an objective lens in front) rather than reflectors (with a mirror at the bottom). The price tag will tell you which is which. There are, of course, some very high-end small scopes, mostly optimized for astrophotography. So as a general rule, stay above three inches in aperture. Small scopes tend to be low-quality, too, with uncorrected objective lenses that display color fringing around bright objects and often won’t even come to sharp focus. While this scope may look pretty good, its equatorial mount, lousy finder, 60-mm aperture, 0.965-inch eyepiece, and 3× Barlow make it a hobby killer.Īnything below about 3 inches (76 mm) in aperture is likely to be too small to provide a pleasing view of anything more than the Moon and a few bright star clusters. What you want is the right-size scope for your interest level and ability. That’s true up to a point, but if you buy a scope that’s too big and unwieldy, it could become a hobby killer simply because it’s too difficult to take outside and set up. So in general, the bigger the aperture (the diameter of the objective lens or primary mirror) the more useful the scope. It stands to reason that the more light you gather, the more you can see. Even a great scope can be a hobby killer if it's too difficult to carry.Ī telescope’s primary job is to gather light and squeeze that light down into a small beam that it directs into your eye. Chief among them are aperture, eyepieces, and the mount. So what makes a hobby killer? Many factors add together to make a lousy overall package. Making an informed choice can get you a scope that will provide you with many years of enjoyment. ![]() If you’re a beginner, a few minutes reading this article before you buy a telescope can save you a lot of disappointment later. It only takes a couple of nights like that for a person to decide that astronomy isn’t any fun - thus the term “hobby killer.”Īs with so many other things in life, education can help you avoid making frustrating mistakes. ![]() ![]() I’ve watched people spend all night trying to find something, anything, to look at, often spending their entire time fiddling with the scope rather than observing the sky. When you want to enjoy a night out under the stars, you’re better off with a pair of binoculars or just with your naked eyes than with a telescope that can’t be aimed easily and doesn’t show a pleasing view of whatever you do manage to point it at. It may be hard to believe, but some telescopes are worse than having no scope at all. And every year we face the same problem: how to gently tell some of them that what they’ve got is better suited for a boat anchor than for astronomy. Every January my astronomy club hosts a telescope workshop in which we help people learn how to use the telescopes they got for the holidays or tune up scopes that have been gathering dust in closets. ![]() This has to be done against one single enemy!
