In particular, I want to examine my sensual and sense-making experience of The Piano ‘s inaugural two shots. Although my body’s attention was mobilized and concentrated throughout a film that never ceased to move or touch me in the most complex and various ways, these first two shots, at least to me, foreground the issue “at hand” (so to speak) in our engagement not only with this film, but, to varying degree, with all others.

These inaugural shots also foreground the ambiguity and ambivalence of touch as it has been evoked here as being and making meaning in both its literal and figurative sense. Elaborated slowly and on a primarily dark screen, the very first shot we see in The Piano seems–in visual and figural terms–an “unidentifiable” image. Carol Jacobs describes and glosses both this shot and the significant one that follows it with some precision:

Long, uneven shafts of reddish-pink light fan out across the screen, unfocused like a failed and developed color negative of translucent vessels of blood. . . .Yet it is nearly no view at all–an almost blindness, with distance so minimal between eye and object that what we see is an unrecognizable blur. . . .The image we first see is from the other side, from Ada’s perspective, her fingers, liquid fingers. . . .We see Ada’s fingers pierced through with sunlight, apparently from her perspective, as we hear the voice of her mind, but then, immediately thereafter, we see them from the clear perspective of the onlookers that we are, as they become matter-of-fact-objects to the lens of the camera. (39)

Now, as I watched The Piano ‘s opening moments–in that first shot, before I knew there was an Ada and before I saw her from my side of her vision (that is, before I watched her rather than her vision)–something quite extraordinary (and yet also, I would argue, quite common) happened. Despite my “almost blindness,” the “unrecognizable blur,” the resistance of the image to my eyes, my fingers knew what I was looking at –and this in advance of the objective “reverse” shot that followed and put those fingers in their “proper” place (that is, where they could be objectively seen rather than subjectively looked through). What I was seeing was, in fact, from the beginning, not an unrecognizable image, however blurred and indeterminate in my vision, however much my eyes could not “make it out.” From the first (although I didn’t “know” it until the second), my fingers comprehended that image, grasped it with a nearly imperceptible tingle of attention and anticipation and, off-screen, “felt themselves” as a potentiality in the subjective situation figured on-screen. And this before I re-cognized my carnal comprehension into the conscious thought: “Ah, those are fingers I am looking at.” Indeed, initially, prior to this conscious recognition, those fingers were not understood as “those” fingers–that is, at a distance from my own and objective in their “thereness.” Rather, they were first known sensually and sensibly as “these” fingers and were located ambiguously both off-screen and on–subjectively “here” as well as objectively “there,” “mine” as well as the image’s. Thus, it is not surprising–although it should have been given my “almost blindness” to the first shot–that the second and objective “reverse” shot of a woman peering at the world through her outspread fingers really came as no surprise. Instead, it provided a pleasurable culmination and confirmation of what my fingers–and I, reflexively if not yet reflectively informed by them–already knew.

Lighting control systems reduce energy usage and cost by helping to provide light only when and where it is needed. Lighting control systems typically incorporate the use of time schedules, occupancy control, and photocell control (i.e. Mens U Avery B LowTop Sneakers Geox 5TZwu
). Some systems also support demand response and will automatically dim or turn off lights to take advantage of Mens Watermoc 2 Boating Shoes Helly Hansen cwI5n3rgq
incentives. Lighting control systems are sometimes incorporated into larger building automation systems .

In response to Cat Brode St Sb Womens Src Safety Trainers CAT 4j7Hy
technology, FOOTWEAR Courts Alexander Wang 9OkLZZL8q
systems have been developed to further reduce energy consumption. These technologies are helpful, but they do have their downfalls. Many times, rapid and frequent switching of the lights on and off can occur, particularly during unstable weather conditions or when daylight levels are changing around the switching illuminance. Not only does this disturb occupants, it can also reduce lamp life. A variation of this technology is the 'differential switching or dead-band' photoelectric control which has multiple illuminances it switches from so as not to disturb occupants as much. ^[9] ^[42]

Occupancy sensors to allow operation for whenever someone is within the area being scanned can control lighting. When motion can no longer be detected, the lights shut off. Passive infrared sensors react to changes in heat, such as the pattern created by a moving person. The control must have an unobstructed view of the building area being scanned. Doors, partitions, stairways, etc. will block motion detection and reduce its effectiveness. The best applications for passive infrared occupancy sensors are open spaces with a clear view of the area being scanned. Ultrasonic sensors transmit sound above the range of human hearing and monitor the time it takes for the sound waves to return. A break in the pattern caused by any motion in the area triggers the control. Ultrasonic sensors can see around obstructions and are best for areas with cabinets and shelving, restrooms, and open areas requiring 360-degree coverage. Some occupancy sensors utilize both passive infrared and ultrasonic technology, but are usually more expensive. They can be used to control one lamp, one fixture or many fixtures. ^{3.5 4 Malone Souliers Leather Pumps amp; High Heels for Women On Sale Bronze Leather 2017 35 4 Malone Souliers 2017 OPwBu} ^[44]

3) Help her find her voice: Encourage your daughter to speak up and ask questions. If she sees something she doesn’t like, a doll or a shirt with a mixed message, support her choice to talk with you about it. If she comes to you with a concern, make the time to talk with her. All too often girls avoid speaking up for of damaging relationships they may have. The more comfortable they feel talking with you about their feelings, and the earlier this starts, the more likely they will be able to do it as they develop into teens (which is when you really want them talking with you).

4) Remember: Womens 24332 Mary Janes Beige Taupe/Metal 350 7 UK Jana Rradx
is not required: sometimes your daughter is going to want what other kids have, just because they have it. Giving in to this pressure is easy to do. Help guide your daughter to understand that being an individual is good. Encourage her to embrace her differences and even celebrate them! This will only help her as she grows up and develops a strong sense of herself, her likes and dislikes and in how she determines what she will or will not do.

Throughout your daughter’s development, she will be pulled in lots of directions to act, think and behave in certain ways. As her parent, it is important to use your influence to help direct her towards choosing things that will promote her ability to find her best self, and fight the allure of the princess syndrome. Getting her into some “princess recovery” might be the best way to help your daughter grow into the heroine you know she can be.

I think "Princess Syndrome" is just this generation's name for narcissistic personality disorder. And its not exclusive to girls. In China and Korea, and I think in Japan too, they have what's called "The Little Emperor" syndrome that occurs in male children for the same reasons: being treated like you're a mini-god or goddess who can do no wrong from babyhood on. Its a pretty horrible thing to do to a child, really: making the child think that everyone will defer and cater to them their whole life because they are so magnificent and superior to others that they deserve special, preferential treatment.

The real world comes crashing down on Little Emperors and Little Princesses who discover to their dismay that nobody will fawn on them, cater to them, give them preferential treatment or defer to them outside their immediate family. (Unless they are super-mega rich or astonishingly good looking, or both. That's the way our culture works.)

There is a world of difference between healthy self-esteem and narcissism or narcissistic personality disorder, and inflicting narcissism on a child is just unconscionable, in my opinion. Its child abuse, and the parents need to be called on the carpet and reamed out for creating yet another narcissist. Like we don't have enough of them already.

Actually Annie, you are not completely right. Little Princesses who grow up still get treated (to a certain extent) like they are oh so special by the government, the media, the justice system, and by a bunch of beta white knights either in person, or through social media. They continue to feed off this for the rest of their life, although it gets harder and harder the older (and less attractive) they get.
