In their accounts of the return of Orestes, the three great tragedians show respect for the ancient tradition and the greatness of it by their several interpretations. Each preserves the general tenor of the legend. Electra awaits the return of her brother to avenge her father's death. The secrecy of his return delays recognition, but once Orestes is made known to his sister the punishment of Clytemnestra and Aegisthus becomes inevitable. Of the differences in action and character in each play, the most significant is the means whereby the recognition of Orestes takes place. This affects not only the mood of each tragedy, but its construction.The recognition scene placed early in the Choephori (224) presents an almost rustic simplicity (lines 228, 231, 232). This matches the lament and slow movement of the invocation by Orestes, Electra and the chorus that follow. The audience are spectators of a simple action from which the drama as simply proceeds. Such simplicity rightly receives an archaic treatment derived from a great religious tradition. The Euripidean version, psychologically more complicated, shows the interplay of personal relationships largely dependent upon memory. This complexity, expressed in the intricate nature of prologue, delays the recognition of Orestes by Electra. Yet in Euripides (Electra 577) the scene still occurs comparatively early—perhaps in deference to tradition, or perhaps that the movement of vengeance can be more fully displayed. In Sophocles (Electra 1224), however, the recognition scene is placed towards the end of the play.

The One

1. The actions of the nine eyecup muscles of the crab during horizontal optokinetic movements are described. 2. Each muscle includes a wide spectrum of fibre types, ranging from phasic, with sarcomere lengths of 3-4 µm., through intermediate, to tonic fibres with sarcomeres of 10-12 µm. Each muscle receives at least one slow and one fast motoneuron, but no inhibitory supply. The slow axons predominantly innervate the tonic muscle fibres while the fast axons innervate the phasic ones. 3. Slow movement and the position of the eyecup in space are controlled by the frequency of slow motoneuron discharges. All muscles collaborate at every position. The phasic system is recruited during rapid eyecup movements of large amplitude. 4. In optokinetic nystagmus the exact form of the impulse sequences are described for each muscle. They are the consequence of a visually driven central programme which takes no account of the movement which it generates. Movements in opposite directions involve different central programmes; the one is not merely the reverse of the other. There is no effective proprioceptive feedback from the eyecup joint or from muscle tension receptors.

Movement disorders are conventionally divided into 2 major categories. Hyperkinetic movement disorders (also called dyskinesias) are excessive, often repetitive, involuntary movements that intrude into the normal flow of motor activity. This category includes chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, stereotypies, tics, and tremor. Hypokinetic movement disorders are akinesia (lack of movement), hypokinesia (reduced amplitude of movement), bradykinesia (slow movement), and rigidity. Parkinsonism is the most common hypokinetic movement disorder. In childhood, hyperkinetic disorders are common, whereas hypokinetic movement disorders are relatively uncommon.

History Of

Brewster’s death in 1644 marked a landmark in the history of the colony. At that time the English Civil Wars (or Puritan Revolution) had begun and William Bradford and others hoped that the small beginning of reform offered by Plymouth might lead to a transformation of not only New England but the mother country as well. But there were debates over that New England Way in the colonies, with a slow movement toward shifting authority from ordinary believers to clerical leaders, and from individual congregations to some form of synods or clerical councils. The practice of prophesying was criticized by many clergy. There were debates about the extent that different views should be tolerated. As he neared the end of his life William Bradford composed dialogues in which he explained the core values that the founders of Plymouth had upheld.
