Accelerated Adolescence

The presence of an absence

This is all that remains of a browser crash. I think that you can get the gist. I'm too tired to try and rewrite what was among my better posts and a little too bitter towards Kristen for happening to be in the vicinity when the browser froze. At least there are screen dumps for a reason.
Sigh

What I found so fascinating was that the character, Fanny Robin, Drives the plot. The story, itself, is predominantly character driven with a few critical events changing the landscape. Interestingly, Fanny Robn is not quite a character that drives the plot. Rather, she presents a series of events oustide of herself that furthers tensions and provides conflicts, mostly through her death. It’s a bit ironic that the most important character is dead through much of the story (see Faulkner’s “A Lesson Before Dying”). Furthermore, Hardy made a concerted effort to give voice to as many characters as possible that were irrelevant to the movement of the plot. At a critical point, he uses a twelve year old child, befittingly named Cain as symbolism of his placement in the text, as a juxtaposition to Fanny’s silence.

Have low impact on ligaments, tendons and bones in the knees. This is true; what has the author omitted? The authro has neglected to warn the reader of the biomechanics of a squat. Because the author writes for an introductory audience, he/she should not assume that the audience has knowledge of complex biomechanical functions. Simplly, the author neglected to point out that if, in your squat, you dip too low you will throw your knees forward over your toes and place a grea deal of stress on them that was previously, primarily, transferred to your feet. This can ruin knees faster than running on cement.
What really surprised me, though, was the pyschological article.
“Using platelet measures to assess serotonergic function, Verkes et al. (1998) foun platelet 5-HT and repeated suicidal behavior were positively correlated with BPD—in particular, wit chronic feelings of emptiness. The authros suggested suicidal behavior is mediated by the relationship between serotonergic functiion and impulsiveness as a personality trait.”
The absence is a sentence that goes something to the effect of, “But most causal studies have discovered that there is NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT of the levels of one neurotransmitter on overall affect, that, in order to predict affect from neurotransmitters, one would have to know exactly how much of each neurotransmitter is in every single synapse in a human brain, at a given moment, the number and sensitivity of correlate receptors are in each synapse, and have a complex understanding of how the brain produces responses to each neurotransmitter based on its ratio in the synapse and the aformentioned information about receptors (not to mention reuptake issues, etc…).
