Listening to the apparent vents reveals no sound emanating from the object; that, and the apparent lack of any internal source of heat both seem to indicate that the object was powered off only relatively recently. The sides and back area of the object feel like hard plastic to the touch. They also respond to the fingernail tap test in the manner expected of hard plastics, producing a higher audible pitch and less vibration and "give" to slight pressure than the glasslike front panel. The hard plastic does not have any specific taste to it, but use of the tongue seems to confirm the prior observation that the surface was warm to the touch. Likewise, the front panel has no specific taste but feels even cooler to the tongue than to the hand; it also reveals a layer of dust that was not originally perceptible to the hand. A swiping motion of the fingertips against the glasslike panel does detect the presence of dust that was too fine to perceive by a non-moving touch of the hand previously. Nearing the head to the object for the purpose of tasting it discloses that the object is slightly charged electrically, because the residual static charge attracts human hair in a manner precisely consistent with everyday experiences with electromagnetic charges and common substances. The front panel looks exactly...
Similarly, the rest of the object appears to be made from hard plastic with vent areas on the back in the vicinity of the edges between the rear section and the sides. Viewing the object from the rear reveals numerous other holes, depressions, and pressure-printed writing in the plastic rear section. Twenty of the holes represent metal screws approximately one inch below the surface of the rear panel. There are several depressed rectangular areas comprising metallic contact posts of the type ordinarily associated with cabled communications providers. Finally, there is an electrical power cord emanating from one lower corner of the rear portion of the object.
Where Connell emphasized myriad consumer items like silk pajamas and finely tailored suits, Lawrence highlights two items: the rocking horse that gives the story its title and money. Before the protagonist, Paul, is even introduced Lawrence attests to the significance of money (in reference to Paul's mother): "There must be more money, there must be more money" (1). Shortly thereafter, the protagonist furiously rides his rocking chair, which endows
In fact, most lawyers practice neither criminal law nor personal injury law; they assist individuals prepare wills, set up their businesses, protect themselves from financial risks, purchase homes, patent inventions, and respond to IRS tax audits. Most lawyers spend long hours working at their desks and never actually see courtrooms or accident victims (Haskell 1998). Certainly, some lawyers are dishonest people without moral scruples or ethics who will do almost
Moonstone," a cornerstone in English literature that marks the birth of detective novels Wilkie Collins published his novel "The Moonstone" in 1868, after a series of novels that had already consecrated him as a genius in the art of sensational fiction. The genre became popular, at that time, in England and abroad, thorough the translations of Collins' novels. "The Moonstone" is written in a narrative form of a detective novel
(60) The Norman conquest had forever altered the face of history and the face of the English language. Middle English The period thought of as the Middle English period roughly from 1150-1500 is a period that is demonstrative of the massive changes associated with the Norman conquest. Though there is some evidence that French did not completely overtake English in common or official use the language had a great influence upon English
Feminism/Humanities Love and the Developing and Unstable Female Sense of Self Lord Byron, in his epic poem "Don Juan," famously noted that although love may be an all-consuming passion for men and women, only for women does it provide the reason for their existence, only for women does love constitute their reason for the self's existence alone. Although this point-of-view may be said to be that of a misogynist, both Marguerite Duras'
That he was not the reason that her cheeks were glowing might have been something for him to investigate and improve their marriage; however, she was just a woman and why would he bother himself with such trifles. In short, the duke can commit murder if he feels that his wife does live up to his expectations. Obviously, there are no ramifications for his behavior as he brags about the
