They moved Voldemort's body and laid it in a chamber off the Hall, away form the bodies of Fred, Tonks, Lupin, Colin Creevey, and fifty others who had died fighting him. McGonagall had replaced the House tables, not nobody was sitting according to House anymore: All were jumbled together, teachers and pupils, ghosts and parents, centaurs and house-elves, and Firenze lay recovering in the corner, and Grawp peered in through a smashed window, and people were throwing food into his laughing mouth. After a while, exhausted and drained, Harry found himself sitting on a bench beside Luna.
And before he could say a word, she had cried, "Oooh, look, a Blibbering Humdinger!" and pointed out the window. Everyone who heard looked around, and Harry slid the Cloak up over himself, and got to his feet. Now he could move through the Hall without interference. He spotted
"I'd want some peace and quiet, if it were me," she said.
"I'd love some," he replied.
"I'll distract them all," she said. "Use your cloak."

In a series of simple experiments, Thompson, Graham and Russo (2005) showed just how important the McGurk effect is when we are looking at singers, compared to when we only have the sound to go on.
Experiment 1: Some participants listened to blues legend B. B. King audio only, while others listened and watched him. Those who had both video and audio channels rated the level of was negative or discordant) higher at points in which B. B. King winced his eyes, rolled his head back and shook his upper body.
Experiment 2: When trying to judge the pitch changes between notes, participants watching only the video almost did as well as those only listening to the audio. This is pretty impressive.

and choking ponds resulting in the death of many a pond creature.
But, as Greenbang has repeatedly reported, it can be good too. Especially if its genetics are toyed with using a little prodding from scientists. Algae takes CO2 from the environment and turns it into biomass which can in turn be used as a biofuel.
3. Cow fart collector
This one got picked up like the proverbial hot cakes in the nationals, mainly because of the accompanying picture showing a cow farting into an inflatable pink rucksack.
Argentine researchers want to further study the effect of cow-released methane on the environment, and this is how they are collecting it. Let’s just hope that none of them fall into the container.
4. Liquification
Greenbang had been told by the “fat man down t’ pub” that being buried under a forest helped ensure it could not be chopped down, as she cannot find evidence of this legal loophole liquification is possibly the greenest way to dispose of a body.
Funeral directors are looking at it as the greener alternative to cremation or burial

supervised by a group of distinguished trustees, the income being divided equally between three parties: Changez's second wife Nasreen, Kasturba, whom he referred to in the document as "in every true sense, my third", and his son, Salahuddin. After the deaths of the two women, however, the trust could be dissolved whenever Salahuddin chose: he inherited, in short, the lot. "On the condition," Changez Chamchawala had mischievously stipulated, "that the scoundrel accepts the gift he previously spurned, viz., the requisitioned schoolhouse situated at Solan, Himachal Pradesh." Changez might have chopped down a walnut-tree, but he had never attempted to cut Salahuddin out of his will. -- The houses at Pali Hill and Scandal Point were excluded from these provisions, however. The former passed to Nasreen Chamchawala outright; the latter became, with immediate effect, the sole property of Kasturbabai, who quickly announced her intention of selling the old house to property developers. The site was worth crores, and Kasturba was

case, mother?" This drew out Alicja's grandest voice. She was still capable of grandeur, had a gift for it, in spite of her postOtto decision to disguise herself as a bag-lady. "A case," she announced, taking into consideration the fact that Gibreel was an Indian import, "of cashew and monkey nuts."
Allie didn't argue with her mother, being by no means certain that she could continue to live with Gibreel, even if he had crossed the earth, even if he had fallen from the sky. The long term was hard to predict; even the medium term looked cloudy. For the moment, she concentrated on trying to get to know this man who had just assumed, right off, that he was the great love of her life, with a lack of doubt that meant he was either right or off his head. There were plenty of difficult moments. She didn't know what he knew, what she could take for granted: she tried, once, referring to Nabokov's doomed chess-player Luzhin, who came to feel that inchess there were certain combinations that would inevitably arise to defeat him, as a way of explaining
