This arm was designed particularly for Cartee’s left arm. Cartee’s has no elbow on her left arm. She has one degree of freedom at her wrist joint and at her finger joint. Her wrist is very small and she has two short conjoined fingers extending off of it that curve towards the right. Her forearm extending from her wrist is curved towards the left. Because of her very limited range of motion, this design relies fundamentally on electronics to be actuated. The prosthetic hand that this arm design…

tissue such as two pointer fingers. It is not advised to use a thumb, as it has its own strong pulse. The common carotid artery is the first pulse felt. It is on the left side of your neck under your throat near the Adam’s apple and/or upper trachea (for females). Another artery that is felt is the brachial artery, so on the inside of the elbow. The last artery felt is the radial artery found inside the wrist near the thumb, again using two pointer fingers (index and middle finger work fine).…

Back when I was in the fifth grade. I had three injuries back to back. First I broke my index finger, then ring finger, and finally my right collar bone. The first two where due to sports, but the last one was due to the fact that I was stupid. So pretty much I stayed hurt in fifth grade. I had found it to be so hysterical that all my injuries happened on my right side of my body. Well let me explain how I got them three injuries. Well, I have played baseball from Tee-ball from Babe…

In July 1994, I was involved in an accident, and in this accident I lost the end of my right middle finger. So the story I’m about to tell you is true. On this particular day I was working at the United States Postal Service at 7117 W. Harry I had just been assigned to work with Rick Sifford. Rick and I were to move some three-inch angle iron. I think there were about 20 feet long so that equates to a lot of weight, far more than was safe for two people to move. I forget how many pieces of iron…

Facilitator vs. Teacher How can you distinguish the difference between the two? A teacher is an expert on a particular subject and looks to conveys that knowledge to others through a lecture platform. A facilitator does not have to be an expert on any one subject. He or she creates discussion and learning within a group.

Wrinkled Fingers Have you ever wondered why do humans get wrinkly fingers and toes when submerged in water by a period of time?

Also, wrinkled fingers are considered an evolution. At first, it was thought that the wrinkles on the fingers were caused by osmosis (Changizi, 2011). However, recent studies have shown that without nerves, no…

household who had not had stitches and I didn’t want that to change. “Mom you can fix it. Please. You can fix it. I don’t want to go to the hospital.” I cried. She took a look at my finger and cringed. “I can’t fix that. I’m going to have to take you in.” She helped me take off my snow pants and hat, and wrapped my finger up in lots of paper towels and gauze before getting my favorite stuffed animal from my room. She helped me out to the car and into the front seat, leaving my dad at home to…

good luck used for protection against the evil-eye curse or in simpler words a protection against evil. The other charm I have on my necklace is a hand gesture. The charm represents a hand gesture in which the index and little fingers are extended while the middle and ring fingers are curled into the palm. This charm is another charm for protection against evil. I don’t always wear my necklace but when I do I do feel a lot…
