That night, Harry sees the body of a first-year who has been petrified arrive at the hospital. Dobby, a house elf, has enchanted the ball in an effort to have Harry injured and sent home. During the game, an enchanted ball hits Harry and causes him to lose the bones in his arm. Playing for Gryffindor, Harry wins the Quidditch match against Slytherin. By doing some research, Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn that fifty years ago a chamber at Hogwarts was opened and a student was killed. He hears it first during his detention and second during a party, moments before the cat is attacked. Before the cat is attacked, Harry twice hears an eerie voice. After taunting Hermione, Draco is the suspect when, on Halloween night, someone petrifies the school caretaker's cat and writes a threatening message. On the field, he calls Hermione a "mudblood," insulting her Muggle heritage. Quidditch practices begin and Draco Malfoy is the new Slytherin seeker. Lockhart, who believes Harry flew the car to get attention, lectures Harry. They land messily, and both boys are given detentions. As Harry prepares to return to Hogwarts, he finds that he and Ron are unable to enter the magically invisible train platform, so they fly the Weasley car to Hogwarts. Harry then encounters Lucius Malfoy, the evil father of one of Harry's enemies, who almost starts a fight with Mr. He first encounters Lockhart, one of his teachers, who demands to be in a photo shoot with Harry. While shopping for school supplies with the Weasleys, Harry has two unfortunate encounters. Luckily, Harry's friend Ron Weasley steals Harry away in a flying car, and Harry happily spends the rest of the summer at the Weasley home. The Dursleys angrily imprison Harry in his room for the rest of the summer. Harry politely disregards the warning, and Dobby wreaks havoc in the kitchen, infuriating the Dursleys. Dobby warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts, the magical school for wizards that Harry attended the previous year. During a dinner party hosted by his uncle and aunt, Harry is visited by Dobby, a house-elf. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets begins when Harry is spending a miserable summer with his only remaining family, the Dursleys. It was exciting, funny and interesting, even at page 1! The same as book 1: I couldn’t stop reading from the very start. When I finished reading the first one it was sure for me that I would be reading the second in no-time. As always, it will take Hermione ( Emma Watson)'s research skills, Ron's courage, and Harry's heart to save the day.After I read the first Harry Potter book, I was sold. The two adults Harry trusts most, Hagrid ( Robbie Coltrane) and Dumbledore ( Richard Harris), are removed from the school, and if someone doesn't stop the creature, Hogwarts may be closed for good. Many people suspect that Harry is that person, and he wonders whether they're right. Somewhere in that chamber is a dangerous creature just waiting for the right person to let it out. It seems that Hogwarts has a Chamber of Secrets that hasn't been opened for 50 years. Harry is the only one who can hear a strange voice echoing through the halls, and he's in the wrong place at the wrong time when some very bad and scary things happen. After a hair-raising trip with Ron ( Rupert Grint), Harry arrives at Hogwarts, where there are new classes, new challenges, and a somewhat suspicious, extremely narcissistic new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher named Gilderoy Lockhart ( Kenneth Branagh). As this installment begins, Harry gets a visit at the Dursleys' from a house elf named Dobby (voiced by Toby Jones), who warns Harry that someone is trying to harm him. Flying cars, giant spiders and snakes, and faster and larger-than-life Quidditch matches keep the story moving as Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe) and friends soar through their second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS is more pure magic for young Potter fans who like adventure over the darker themes in the series.

But the same statement is true of Intel’s Integrated Graphics, and we all know how poorly they perform for SketchUp. It is coupled tightly to the same memory as the CPU, so the need to copy data back and forth between external GPU memory and main memory is eliminated. Apple’s GPU is a unique proprietary design. But benchmarks published so far suggest the benefit isn’t enormous. Also, the Pro and Max have wider paths to memory, which may have an impact on performance. SketchUp is not a memory hog, but having more memory lets you run more things simultaneously before they start competing with each other. The Pro and Max come with different options for memory than the base M1, notably larger amounts and wider access paths. However, renderers should be able to make use of the additional cores, and that should make the Pro or Max faster than the base M1. As has been explained innumerable times on the forum, there is no possibility that SketchUp can be rewritten to be multi-core. Since SketchUp uses only one core, there will be no real difference due to CPU variations between these chips. What differs is the number of cores and the allocation between performance and power-saving versions. The CPU cores in the M1 Pro and Max are the same as in the base M1. So, although we can assume that native code should be faster, there is not much beyond anecdotal to establish how much faster - especially for a specific app such as SketchUp. There are not a lot of apps that have yet been ported to M1 native, instead of running via Rosetta 2. That is of great importance for laptops, perhaps less so for desktops where better cooling is feasible. But there are some general observations we can make.Īll of the Apple Silicon variations use less power and stay cooler than the competition. We will need to wait for real world experience from the early adopters to know better how SketchUp runs. Because Apple silicon puts so many functions on a single chip and ties them all closely together, it is difficult to predict comparative performance based just on specs and non-specific benchmarks.

What Developer Should You Use?Ĭhoosing the right developer is a delicate game of balancing getting your desired results and not damaging your hair. For stronger or higher volume, the developer will lift the cuticle more. These volumes refer to how much the product will oxidize and therefore lift the cuticle of the hair shaft. Typically, you will find developers in 10, 20, 30, or sometimes 40. Developers come in a variety of volumes to choose from. You also do not want to use too high of a developer, or you can seriously damage your hair. That brassy-orange look of a bad bleach job is usually because of a low-volume developer.

That’s how I discovered my trademark clown-white face. And I was like: “This is everything.” I found this weird balance, where I wasn’t too feminine, so I wouldn’t be triggered. It was only when I put on my drag that people thought I was just another cis boy at the club. Because I was assigned female at birth, I used it as a mask. Gottmik: When I started drag, it was almost the opposite. It’s all very “Wizard of Oz”: I had it all along. and getting on “Drag Race,” I’ve learned that my drag is me, I am that person, and it’s been me the entire time. Then I discovered drag and saw these beautiful creatures and thought: “Oh, you get to put these things on and become a different person.” I had that mind-set for a very long time, but then, moving to L.A. I was Black and gay too, so I had all these things stacked against me. Instead, there are parties featuring drag queens, so it’s about the look and whether the queen has a personality that makes you want to be there. is interesting, because there aren’t many drag shows. You need a personality so people want you at their party. Symone: It’s not enough just to look the part. As in, Symone is the prettiest girl in the club, whereas I’m this clown, freak thing, that’s also pretty. Symone and I both have this very feminine, glamorous style of drag, but with a twist. is all about who’s the most beautiful, whereas in New York, it’s more about artistry. Gottmik: On a more physical - not as cute - level than what Symone just said, the drag scene in L.A. You have to brand yourself and stand out from the pack. Symone: In L.A., you have to figure out what makes you you: Home in on it and exploit it. Symone's "Say Their Names" look is one of several with urgent political messages she's unveiled during Season 13 of "RuPaul's Drag Race." (VH1) What makes your drag representative of the L.A. It’s the weirdest vibe of people, and I just knew it was for me. It’s so intense, but so relaxed at the same time. I was like: “I just have to be there.” I don’t know what it was. But whenever I would come to L.A., I would get butterflies. Gottmik: I always thought I was such a New York person because it’s so fast and crazy. Gottmik, you moved to Los Angeles six years ago from Scottsdale, Ariz., and, Symone, you’re originally from Conway, Ark., and have lived here for two years. The Times recently caught up with Gottmik and Symone, now vying for the "Drag Race" title, about how they ended up in L.A., what makes the city's drag scene distinctive and the politics of their drag.
