Elsewhere they fizzle, sinking into a sluggish enervation that suggests they've taken their own band name literally.

The enervation of chemotherapy and radiation — both derived from warfare technologies — demoralizes us as regimens multiply and at times it seems impossible to go on.

Scrape away the hype and the hyperbole, the enervation and the exhaustion, and you find any number of more useful or wrenching impulses: kindness, hatred, antipathy, humanity, pity, awe, disgust, even ambivalence.

" Regarding the cramping, he adds, "Swallowed air goes into the GI track, but because the enervation causes extra air to go in the organs, the inability to clear the air and or food from the intestinal track causes stomach pains.

L. M. Williams Norfolk, U.K. The Roots of Apathy Rachel Aviv's piece about uppgivenhetssyndrom , the mysterious enervation affecting refugee children in Sweden whose families are facing deportation, shows an extreme example of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and society ("The Apathetic," April 3rd).

His dreamy, aqueous style ("cloud rap," as taxonomists would say) has informed not only the druggy haze of contemporary SoundCloud rap, but also the reticent shimmer of alternative R&B — and, more indirectly, the recent gradual enervation of mainstream pop, getting ever slower and more echoey each year.

The citation read: The enervation of daily combat combined with the effects of the poor rations and dysentery were telling. Beurling was bedridden for much of August and September, gaining only 1½ victories in August. On 8 August, while he was shooting at a Bf 109, he was jumped by two more.

This left PAVN forces entrenched only 20 miles from the guerrilla base at Long Tieng.Anthony, Sexton, p. 339. Noting the urgency of the situation, the CIA Chief of Station noted the Hmong resistance had been worn thin by heavy casualties among its male members, the enervation of relocating the soldiers' dependents as refugees, and dwindling support from tactical air strikes.Ahern, pp. 386–387.

Other critics dismissed the play. In 1994, Lawrence Bommer of Chicago Reader panned Bond as "a rigid, humorless ideologue. Though William Shakespeare wrote plays more powerful than life, Bond naively expects the man to be as complete as his creations--as compassionate as Prospero, as furious at hypocrisy as Hamlet, as enraged at poverty as broken Lear. [...] And no antagonist offers an alternative to the bard's enervation".

This involves smearing secretions from epidermal scent glands on tree branches, along with urine and feces. In some cases, strepsirrhines may anoint themselves with urine (urine washing). Body postures and gestures may be used, although the long snout, non-mobile lips, and reduced facial enervation restrict the use of facial expressions in strepsirrhines. Short- range calls, long-range calls, and alarm calls are also used.

Introduced in 3.5 edition, wilders can use "wild surges", which allow them to augment their psionic powers to a greater extent than normal. Doing so is dangerous: every time a wild surge is used there is a chance that the wilder will suffer from "psychic enervation" causing them to become dazed and lose power points. They are slightly tougher than Psions, but gain fewer abilities and slower. Wilder is the favored class of the dromite and maenad races (both found in the Expanded Psionics Handbook).

Reid never featured in an England-beating New Zealand Test side, but his men secured a narrow first- innings lead against Dexter's eleven in the Third Test in Christchurch in 1963. Unable to take advantage, they collapsed at the hands of Fred Trueman and Fred Titmus for 159 in their second innings, of which Reid hit exactly 100 before stumbling from the field in pallid enervation. The second-highest score was 22. This remains the lowest all-out Test match total to include a century.

The Castle of Indolence is a poem written by James Thomson, a Scottish poet of the 18th century, in 1748. According to the Nuttall Encyclopedia, the Castle of Indolence is "a place in which the dwellers live amid luxurious delights, to the enervation of soul and body." The poem is written in Spenserian stanzas at a time when they were considered outdated and initiated an interest in this stanza form which would later have a strong influence upon the English Romantic poets Lord Byron, William Wordsworth, and John Keats.

Indeed, insomuch as jockeys do ride in multiple races, horse races are not entirely independent events. The poor morale and physical enervation of a jockey who recently lost a close race previously could undermine his ability to win the following race. But even the worst jockey will have minimal effect on an outcome if riding a horse that performs far better than the other racers. As with any series of independent propositions, then, only with trials numbering in the thousands can a Due- column bettor ensure that, on average, his historical number of wins will match his probable number of wins.

With such techniques the audience is denied the melodramatic scenes expected from a film about adultery, using this restraint to heighten the theme of repression. Although the ending to the film is very tragic, it is not due to Effi's death. Rather, it is because she believed that she died believing that the guilt had been her own responsibility, and because it demonstrates how social conventions are able to prevent one from loving one another with their entire capacity. Through this the film demonstrates how being a principled man will often result in their own enervation.

Marcus culls the official views of Victorian society from physician William Acton, whose writings anxiously deny the existence of childhood sexuality even as they make elaborate recommendations to suppress it. Acton’s later writings about prostitution reveal a more humanizing approach designed to alleviate stigma and reintegrate women into other professions. Marcus also documents the widespread legal and medical panic over masturbation, which was strongly correlated with mental alienation and insanity. Semen was regarded as a finite commodity whose depletion through onanism or wet dreams, known as “spermatorrhoea”, was believed to lead to enervation, disease, and eventually death. Marcus contrasts these official views with the clandestine circulation of pornography, records of which were meticulously preserved by Henry Spencer Ashbee’s elaborately annotated indices.

The enervation of the town, which relied on its in-land port being the destination of cotton headed toward the ports of Charleston or Savannah for business, began in 1848 after Augusta siphoned much of the town's river traffic with the completion of the Augusta Canal. The town's decline was finalized in the 1850s when the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company extended its line into Augusta. After the American Civil War, Hamburg was repopulated mostly by freedmen and was within newly organized Aiken County. The town became notorious in 1876 as the site of a massacre of blacks by whites in what was one of a number of violent incidents by Democratic paramilitary groups to suppress black voting in that year's elections.

Amid the pain of exile from his beloved family and homeland, Chopin continued composing piano works in many genres, including compositions modeled on a Polish folk dance, the mazurka (named for Poland's Mazovia, Mazowsze, region) and on the stately aristocratic processional dance, the polonaise (named for Poland). He composed them as a way of demonstrating the continuing vitality of a Poland that did not exist as a sovereign polity. With his more refined piano versions of uniquely Polish music, he made the world aware of his homeland's musical heritage while extending the reach of those forms. In addition to separation from homeland and family through his entire adult life, Chopin's severe medical conditions—evidently including tuberculosis–as well as disturbing visual hallucinations (possibly produced by temporal lobe epilepsy) caused enervation, exhaustion, and the constant presence of the shadow of imminent death.

Jessica Kiang of Variety called it a "desperately creepy, queasy, thought-provoking film", and concluded: "Wollner's lacerating intelligence and riveting craft make this extraordinarily effed-up riff on the 'Pinocchio' legend [...] much more than empty provocation". Chris Barsanti of Slant Magazine gave the film a rating of two out of four stars, and wrote that the film "suffers from the same issue as its moody androids: enervation borne out of repetition." The Melbourne International Film Festival decided to not screen the film at its 2020 festival, citing concerns raised by two forensic psychologists that it might "[normalise] sexual interest in children" and be "used as a source of arousal for men interested in child abuse material". The decision to remove the film from the festival line-up was denounced by film critics Peter Krausz, Tom Ryan and David Stratton.

In a 2004 piece called "The Faith-Based Encyclopedia", Robert McHenry, a former editor- in-chief of Encyclopædia Britannica, stated that Wikipedia errs in billing itself as an encyclopedia, because that word implies a level of authority and accountability that he believes cannot be possessed by an openly editable reference. McHenry argued that "the typical user doesn't know how conventional encyclopedias achieve reliability, only that they do". He added: Similarly, Britannicas executive editor, Ted Pappas, was quoted in The Guardian as saying: In the September 12, 2006 edition of The Wall Street Journal, Jimmy Wales debated with Dale Hoiberg, editor-in-chief of Encyclopædia Britannica. Hoiberg focused on a need for expertise and control in an encyclopedia and cited Lewis Mumford that overwhelming information could "bring about a state of intellectual enervation and depletion hardly to be distinguished from massive ignorance".

Nerves are responsible for controlling the contraction of muscles, determining the number, sequence and force of muscular contraction. Most movements require a force far below what a muscle could potentially generate, and nervous fatigue is seldom an issue. But, during extremely powerful contractions that are close to the upper limit of a muscle's ability to generate force, nervous fatigue (enervation) -- in which the nerve signal weakens -- can be a limiting factor in untrained individuals. In novice strength trainers, the muscle's ability to generate force is most strongly limited by nerve’s ability to sustain a high-frequency signal. After a period of maximum contraction, the nerve’s signal reduces in frequency and the force generated by the contraction diminishes. There is no sensation of pain or discomfort, the muscle appears to simply ‘stop listening’ and gradually cease to contract, often going backwards.

Boswell's Enlightenment focuses on Boswell's Grand Tour of the European continent, when he introduced himself to a number of eminent thinkers and political figures, including Samuel Johnson, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, Pasquale Paoli, John Wilkes, and Voltaire. Zaretsky contends that despite the ridiculous figure Boswell was sometimes regarded as, his irrepressible curiosity and desire to ingratiate himself with the leading figures of the day made him a representative figure of the Enlightenment. Zaretsky writes: > Though he sought out and surrounded himself with men and women who were > larger than life, Boswell was like us, but only more so. In his great swings > of exuberance and enervation, his moments of great insight and great > weakness, Boswell not only embodied the enduring doubts and hopes that mark > the modern age, but also expressed them with an intellectual honesty and > spare artistry no less enduring.

In 1880 he painted what, according to Bonnie Effros, was his most famous Merovingian painting, The Sons of Clovis II, also called Les Énervés de Jumièges (the enervated men of Jumièges), based on a legend concerning the 7th-century Merovingian king Clovis II: after rebelling against their father, the two princes are said to have been punished according to their own mother's suggestion by the removal of their vital force ("enervation") through the destruction of the tendons of their muscles; they were then set adrift on a raft in the River Seine, at the mercy of God, but according to the legend they were rescued by the monks of the Abbey of JumiègesThe Sons of Clovis, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, retrieved 17 July 2014. and later reconciled with their parents. The version exhibited at the 1880 Salon created a sensation and is judged to be his best work. The painting evokes varying and strong reactions; Simone de Beauvoir wrote in 1960 of "calm horror".
