Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince Movie Review

By Siddhartha
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the sixth installment in the Potter series is filled with lots of romance and maturity amongst the charecters. The Potter fans have been missing all the action happening in Hogwarts for quite some time and they have been treated with a visual extravaganza. J K Rowling has brought lot of changes into the charecterisation of the main roles and that has taken this movie to the next level and the end product that you get to see on screen is much different from the previous ones where the emphasis was more on the playful Harry Potter and his friends.

Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter has brought a definite change in his acting and the same can be said of his co-stars. This movie also gives us a sneak preview of Tom Riddle who turns to be the future dark lord Voldormort in his younger days and how he gets to know about black-magic and the secret of immortality which makes him more dangerous and this edition potrays the missing links that were present in the previous Potter movies.

Hermoine (Emma Watson) now more youthful and energetic shows signs of love between friends and in the scenes where her love is not understood, she has done a splendid performance. When all goes fine and when we know that Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) is the charecter who happens to be the chosen one from the dark lord, we expect some wonderful and thrilling moments to unfold on screen. But to everyone's dismay all we get to see is a very damp movie which could well be tagged as the worst Potter Movie till date.

It is not a easy job to adapt on screen a novel which had everyone on the edge of their seats while reading but on screen it rarely gets you to that effect and the major reason for this is the screenplay which could have been well thought of and executed on screen. The build-up to the death of an important charecter hardly gives you a jolt or anything of that sort.
Lets hope that the next edition of Harry Potter which is being made into two films releasing in late 2010 and the summer of 2011 shadows all disappointments that "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince" had given us.

Helping an Employee Who’s Struggling with Postpartum Depression

By
Going back to work is tough for any new parent, but the transition is especially difficult for those suffering from postpartum depression. (Remember, postpartum depression affects both women and men.) If you manage someone who has recently had a baby, pay close attention to how they’re doing — a parent’s struggle doesn’t always show on the outside. Some people may overcompensate by working too hard, while others may show a loss of enthusiasm. Familiarize yourself with the services your firm offers — which may include groups for working parents, health care coverage for counseling, or post-natal yoga or meditation classes — so that you can help your employee access support. Offer options such as flex time, telecommuting, gradual return, or peer mentoring. In fact, it’s a good idea to offer these things to all team members so that the new parent doesn’t feel singled out. Find ways to make supporting employees and their mental health part of your culture. Adapted from " What Managers...

If Your Team Is Overwhelmed, What Can They Stop Doing?

By
Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently. Start by asking people to identify their key activities and how much time they spend on them in a typical week. Use that data to assess workloads and priorities. Consider which tasks the team could stop doing and which might benefit from having their process rethought. Pay special attention to low-value projects that have to get done but that take up an inordinate amount of time. Are there ways to simplify the workflows to reduce the amount of time your team spends in these areas? And last but not least, look for tasks that simply can be done more quickly. If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
