Prior to the lifting action, high synergy indices were observed at the individual finger level while modest indices were observed at the thumb-VF level. Multi-digit synergies were quantified using indices of co-variation between digit forces and moments of force across unperturbed trials. The aperture showed non-monotonic changes with a large, fast decrease and further increase, ending up with a smaller distance between the thumb and the fingers as compared to unperturbed trials. In such trials, the hand stopped at a higher vertical position and rotated into pronation or supination depending on the expected torque. In a few trials, the handle was unexpectedly fixed to the table and the digits slipped off the sensors. A load could be attached off-center to provide a pronation or supination torque. The subjects performed very quick vertical movements of a handle into a target. Synergies were analyzed at the thumb-virtual finger (VF) level (VF is an imaginary digit with the mechanical action equivalent to that of the four actual fingers) and at the individual finger level. We used the framework of the equilibrium-point hypothesis (in its updated form based on the notion of referent configuration) to investigate the multi-digit synergies at two levels of a hypothetical hierarchy involved in prehensile actions.

you are just a misogynist who found the perfect story to hate on a woman and love her abuser w/o being judged for it by everyone else. 23) Leia a passagem a seguir, extraída de Nove noites, e o poema Erro de português, de Oswald de Andrade: No final da tarde em que chegamos, logo depois de me instalar, saí à procura do antropólogo e do seu filho, que ficaram em outra casa. you were not manipulated by the media or a man who doesn’t know of your existence. 22) Redija um texto, JUSTIFICANDO o título do romance de Bernardo Carvalho, Nove noites. if you did you wouldn’t have acted the way you did.Īlso don’t even try to pull the “i was manipulated” card bcs that’s bs. stop acting like you actually give a shit when you don’t. y'all conveniently decided to ignore the case where JD was proven guilty on 12 counts of domestic abuse and focused on this one bcs it gave you your perfect “men get abused too” story, even tho you don’t actually gaf about male victims. not to mention all the stuff you did to people who even dared to say they believe amber. there was so much evidence and y'all still sided with her abuser and called him the victim. making countless posts just to make fun of her looks, reactions, the way she recounted stories. made fun of her for the same things he was praised for and called “funny” or “savage”. actively sided with her abuser and called him the victim. made fun of how she acted through the trial. made fun of her talking about being r*ped. Now y'all wanna say sorry? after you shredded this woman to pieces. Hahn’s mystery offers an atmospheric setting, a child ghost, and eerie circumstances that never quite cross into horror. Allusions to Diana Wynne Jones’s exploration of alternate worlds provide an intriguing dimension to the tale, though the resolution it portends is overly tidy. Maisie, a girl Jules meets at the library, tells stories of Oak Hill’s grisly history (a family murdered, a hiker missing), and the two set out to free Lily from the room’s confinement. When Jules, long attuned to the paranormal, sees the girl’s apparition and hears her voice, she researches past residents of the home, learning that the ghost’s name is Lily. ONE FOR SORROW A GHOST STORY by Mary Downing Hahn RELEASE DATE: JHahn’s latest middle-grade ghost story brings the supernatural to the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic with all the disturbing force readers have come to love and dread. Readers will know before Jules does that her intuition about the home’s haunting is correct alternating chapters focus on the title’s ghostly girl who, since her death more than a century before, has remained imprisoned in an upstairs bedroom. Their latest move takes them to Virginia, where Jules encounters a menacing, long-abandoned house, Oak Hill. In this spooky middle grade tale by Hahn ( One for Sorrow), 12-year-old Jules is tired of being dragged from town to town with her novelist mother and her father, whose work restoring old houses keeps them on the road. A trimmed beard, an ironed shirt and a bit of deodorant will elevate you above a herd of sweaty Lankan hetero males. Women usually like the look of you, not knowing that you prefer cock to cooch. She looked at you and rolled her eyes, which you found strange. ‘Don’t bet on ties, sister,’ you said to the strange girl with frizzy hair and black make-up. You had outplayed the house at blackjack, whacked the crab at the buffet and washed it down with some free gin. Even in Lankan rupees, six figures are better than five. You had sold the photos to Jonny at the Associated Press and cashed a welcome six-figure cheque. You were back from a torrid tour of the Vanni, unhinged by the slaughter, breaking bread with shady people, seeing the bad wherever you looked, and wearing your notorious red bandanna. She was twenty, just out of school, and losing pathetically at baccarat. You met Jaki five years ago in the Casino at Hotel Leo.

At other times, it comes with nausea and headaches. Sometimes, it arrives with sweat and itches and rashes. In order to protect her, he must ensure she brings it back to them-whether she wants to or not. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of untold value, one they believe only Etta, Nicholas’ passenger, can find. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger on his ship comes the insistent pull of the past that he can’t escape and the family that won’t let him go so easily. Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free from the Ironwoods-a powerful family in the colonies-and the servitude he’s known at their hands. And she’s inherited a legacy she knows nothing about from a family whose existence she’s never heard of.

And the servants of the Line are on the march. John Creedmoor, reluctant Agent of the Gun and would-be gentleman of leisure, travels west, too, looking to steal the secret or die trying. Now Liv Alverhuysen, a doctor of the new science of psychology, travels west, hoping to heal the general's shattered mind. But locked in his memories is a secret that could change the West forever, and the world's warring powers would do anything to take it from him. The Republic is now history, and the last of its generals sits forgotten and nameless in a madhouse on the edge of creation. The world that now exists has been carved out amid a war between two rival factions: the Line, enslaving the world with industry, and the Gun, a cult of terror and violence. Thirty years ago, the Red Republic fought to remake the West-fought gloriously, and failed. Between the wild shores of uncreation, and the ancient lands of the East lies the vast expanse of the West-young, chaotic, magnificent, war-torn.

The attraction she feels for the older man is instantaneous-and different. She’s shocked to discover that Nasir’s father is celebrity chef Alim Blake. When she shows him her artwork, he gets her a place in a group show and an invitation to his father’s luxurious home on a tropical island. Soon, she embarks on a slightly more demanding relationship. This is the first time she’s had sex in five years-since her husband died in a car accident-and Milan is attractive, eager, and convenient. In the opening scene of this novel, Feyi Adekola is in a bathroom at a house party having sex with a man she’s just met. A scorching tale of love after loss from the author of The Death of Vivek Oji (2020). * The open-endedness of the novella may be a reflection of the insanity of the governess and her reliability. Her sanity proves to be unstable, and we can’t rely on an insane narrator. She blames Peter Quint for ruining the young minds of these children by revealing them to disturbing and sexual things. Proof of this is that the governess’ initial reaction to what the children, Miles and Flora do, is interpreted as a sexual act. * Edmund Wilson, in his work “The Ambiguity of Henry James,” “finds the governess to be an example of Freudian psychology and repression, as well as psychosexual delusions” (pg 43). The open-endedness leaves us with unanswered questions and what really happened.Is the whole story even the original story? Is this a newly revised edition, edited by Douglas to fulfill a promise? From the article put together by Jeff Williams, we will see that the governess is not a reliable source and that this was not the original story. Henry James ends The Turn of the Screw with and ambiguous and a wide-open closing scene. The article “Narrative Games: The Frame of The Turn of the Screw” provides support from experts on narrations, that the governess is not a reliable narrator. Kimberley English 110 * An Unreliable Narrator * * The never-ending question about the novella “The Turn of the Screw” is if the governess actually sees the ghosts she claims to have seen. |
