		In teaching classical five-element acupuncture over the years, I have encountered several major misunderstandings surrounding the theory and practice of this system.
		The causative factor is the element among the five which has been so damaged by internal or external stress and trauma (including hereditary factors) that it becomes unable to fully recover.

	Rhetoric and Poetry in the Renaissance, by Donald Lemen Clark, Ph.D.
		This rhetorical terminology was derived from three sources: directly to some extent from the classical rhetorics themselves; indirectly through the influence of classical rhetoric upon the terminology of the Italian critics of poetry; and indirectly, to a considerable extent, through the mediæval modifications of classical and post-classical rhetoric.
		Whereas classical rhetoric deals with speeches which might be delivered to convict or acquit a defendant in the law court, or to secure a certain action by the deliberative assembly, or to adorn an occasion, classical poetic deals with lyric, epic, and drama.
		By far the greater bulk of classical treatises on poetic is devoted to characterization and to the technic of plot construction, involving as it does narrative and dramatic unity and movement as distinct from logical unity and movement.

		The typical small wind turbine rotor commences to rotate when the aerodynamic torque on the stationary blades exceeds the resistive cogging torque of the generator.
		The signals from these gauges were acquired simultaneously with wind speed and direction, turbine speed and yaw and battery power.
		The results from two situations, where the wind speed was approximately the same but the turbine operating conditions were measurably different, were considered in detail.

	Diagnosing the Three Levels of Imbalance. Acupuncture Today, August 2005
		Each of the elements has a corresponding odor, color, sound, and emotion, which can be perceived when a particular element is out of balance.
		As the elemental imbalance does not change to another element during a person's life, neither does the affected level, though it can be strengthened, harmonized, and restored by proper treatment.
		I liken a mental level person to the classic television character, Lucy Ricardo, on "I love Lucy." Her schemes were hair-brained and often ridiculous and illogical, but there was never a question of her giving up.

		Davis does an admirable job balancing all the assorted sampled instruments/keyboards and has almost universal success in their sonic quality (occasionally, the solo violin could be upgraded slightly, but the solo wind instruments, notably the flute, sound great, as do the massed string sections, especially the violins).
		All in all, Davis has done a very good job in recreating the sound and feel of romantic classical music, especially from the Baroque period, and many tracks are wonderfully expressive of the warmer emotions: happiness, love, joy, cheer; he is also able to portray regret and longing nicely on a few selections.
