Affairs from A to Z
Everyone knows someone whose life has been touched by an affair. One researcher reports that 60 percent of marriages are affected by extramarital affairs. Although few of us choose to think about these sobering statistics, it is helpful to look into the matter further to gain a larger perspective.
What Is an Affair?
For many couples, greater emotional connectivity coincides with the placing of limits on outside relationships and, more specifically, a commitment to sexual exclusivity. Although genital contact with others is usually off limits, some couples renegotiate this agreement if, for example, one partner becomes seriously ill.
There are also cultural variations in these patterns; some cultures, for example, tolerate, if not encourage, men to seek sexual partners outside the marital relationship as a measure of manhood.
Finally, other couples may agree to an "open" marital relationship that acknowledges and allow for affairs outside the primary relationship. Given the increased risk for contracting incurable sexually transmitted diseases (for example, genital herpes or HIV disease) in today's world, however, there is probably less flexibility around this issue now than there was perhaps 20 years ago.
For our purposes, an affair may be defined as an emotionally or sexually intimate relationship between two people that violates the commitment to a previously established relationship, most commonly a marriage. For many couples, even for some who accept the possibility of extramarital relationships, affairs remain a significant and painful problem.
Who Has Affairs?
Traditionally, men have been perceived to be more likely to have an affair than women. And yet, women are now nearly as likely as men to have affairs.
A particularly high proportion of affairs have been linked to certain professions. Business executives, health care professionals, salespeople, pilots, truckers, and sailors seem to be particularly prone to affairs.
Does an Affair Always Lead to Divorce?
Few couples decide to divorce because of an affair. But of the fewer than 20 percent who do divorce, 80 percent report regretting the decision. In one study of men, 80 percent stated that they would remarry their first wife if they could. The few who have affairs and divorce their spouses so that they may marry one another often divorce again.

According to a post from about an hour ago by Bootsy Collins on the funkateer's official Facebook page, his brother in funk, George Clinton, has been hospitalized. Bootsy, who played with Clinton in Parliament-Funkadelic in the early seventies, wrote on his Facebook page early this afternoon (May 26th): "Okay funkateers, our Captain of the Mothership has been hospitalized. I need y'all to send up smoke signals, love vibes, prayers whatever you got, because our great Dr. Funkisien needs us all right now, so stop what you're doing and lay your hands on the radio and let the vibes flow through.The funk not only moves, it Re-Moves, Dig! Thanks! Bootsy!!!"
The famed funk bassist also wrote a similar update on Clinton on his Twitter account this afternoon. The cause for Clinton's hospitalization was not pinpointed but apparently Clinton is in a Los Angeles area hospital and likely will not be released in time to play the scheduled Parliament-Funkadelic show on Saturday (May 28th) at the B.O.M.B. FEST in Hartford, CT. Clinton and the group are also scheduled to play a series of Bay Area shows in early July at Yoshi's Oakland and SF. For updates on the well being of the "Godfather of Funk" follow Bootsy Collins' Twitter & Facebook accounts.

Yale hockey clinches ECAC title
Special to the Register
It took six unanswered goals over the last half of the game to erase a 4-1 deficit on the way to a 7-4 win and give the No. 4 Yale men's hockey team at least a share of the ECAC Hockey Regular Season Championship. Princeton took a three-goal lead four minutes into the second, and it looked like the Bulldogs (19-6-3, 15-4-2) might be denied the chance to clinch a conference title at Baker Rink for the second straight year.
Instead, for the second straight week, the Elis overcame a late, three-goal deficit to capture a second straight ECAC season title with their seventh consecutive victory.
The Bulldogs, who can clinch an outright title with a either a win or a tie at Quinnipiac or a Cornell loss or tie on Saturday night, will be the conference's No. 1 seed for the second straight year.
Sean Backman, who now has 21 goals, had two and an assist and Antoine Laganiere hit the net twice for an Eli team that won all three games against the Tigers (11-14-3, 7-12-2) this year. Mark Arcobello, Broc Little and Brian O'Neill had the other Yale tallies against Princeton goalies Zane Kalemba (22 saves) and Mike Condon (4).
Freshman Nick Maricic recovered from a nine-shot, three-goal opening frame to finish with 23 saves and his biggest collegiate win. His 10-save second period helped change the momentum in a game heading in favor of the home team.
The Tigers got on the board first when Mark Magnowski re-directed a shot from the point at 8:29 that Maricic had no chance to stop. It was his seventh tally of the winter.
Princeton forward Marc Hagel (5 th goal), while falling to the ice, made it 2-0 with a one-timer from the middle of the slot. The feed from the right circle came across and he swung toward the goal and got just enough of the puck to slip it inside the left post at 11:23.
The Bulldogs had two power play chances in the first frame but only one was a full opportunity. The man-advantage that didn't get canceled early resulted in a Backman (20 th) slap shot from the right circle that cut the lead to 2-1 at 14:11. Yale finished two of three advantages with goals.
"This is extremely satisfying. These guys have worked so hard and I wanted to see them rewarded for it," coach Keith Allain said. "Tonight they were."
The visitors could not keep the deficit at one for intermission. Unable to clear its zone, Yale gave up a tough one with 1:27 left. Tigers' blueliner Jody Pederson jumped all over a loose puck in the circle and blasted a low shot through traffic for his third of the year.
Princeton pushed the lead to three early in the middle frame before the Bulldogs reeled off three straight to make it 4-4 at the second intermission. Maricic came up with three or four quality saves to allow Yale to make the big comeback.
Before things turned, defenseman Michael Sdao (5 th) easily tapped home a crossing pass into an open side of the net after a 2-on-1 rush that saw the lone Eli defender sliding across the slot to block the shot. Mike Kramer held long enough to avoid the defender and get it over for the pretty goal at 4:15 that made it 4-1. The crowd was beginning to buzz but the Bulldogs did not see the game slip away.
"Rather than panic, we simplified our game," said Allain, who has won two ECAC regular-season titles and three Ivy League championships in four seasons. "We had to play our game, use our speed and get pucks deep."
Backman (21 st) took a drop pass from O'Neill in the right circle and let fly a low slap shot that zipped inside the far post to cut the deficit in half midway through the period.
A few minutes later, Little worked the puck from the right corner and cycled around the circle. Kalemba focused on the Bulldogs' leading goal scorer as he carried past the dot and then flipped it across to Arcobello (11 th). Yale's senior forward, who had two Grade-A scoring chances in the opening period, one-timed the feed, a few inches off the ice, into an open side.
Then Backman's blast from the top of the circle was re-directed over Kalemba's shoulder by O'Neill (12 th) at 17:33 to even the score heading to the third.
Ten seconds into the final period, Arcobello found the puck in the right circle with room to shoot. He sent it toward the goal and Little (25 th) got his stick on the puck before it got to Kalemba. That turned out to be the winner.
Laganiere, who had been wreaking havoc on the forecheck all night, began to cash in. The rookie forward who now has seven goals worked extremely hard to produce the last two goals. He got one almost two minutes after Little's and then saved his best move of the night for the nine-minute mark. Laganiere spun with the puck in the lower circle and flicked a backhander at Kalemba to make it 7-4.
"We've come back before, and we knew we could because we just weren't playing our best hockey," said Backman. "We knew we had time to change that and we fed off the momentum. When things start going well for us we feed off it."
"We worked all season for this [title], but we have more to accomplish," said senior defenseman Jimmy Martin.
Maricic, who now leads the team with seven victories in net, got a big boost from the defense over the last 30 minutes.
"The defense stepped up. They picked up the other options, and all I had to worry about was the shots. They took away the back doors and other options," said Maricic.

Thanks for sharing Swatch Book!
The New Swatch Book, Designer Edition, does not have page numbers.
Does anyone know of a different edition currently for sale that has page numbers?
The Swatch Book Designer Edition is arranged Per wavelength. Starting in the Ultra-Violets and progressing to the Infra-Reds, The diffusing films/fabrics, and then the Diffusion Foils and Reflective Films/Foils.
I will play around with it some and report back my results.
I guess for those that have a newer swatch book without page numbering, mention the approximate Wavelength section the filter is from.
Example: #100 Spring Yellow ~600nm or #332 Special Rose Pink ~700nm. This way those with and those without page numbers can find a particular filter much easier and faster.

MONTREAL - National Bank, the country's sixth-largest lender, sees an opportunity to grow by attracting more wealthy Canadians to its credit card business.
"Our focus has not been on smaller, less wealthy holders of cards that will increase their credit card balance," president and CEO Louis Vachon said Wednesday during a conference all with analysts.
"All our focus, most of our focus, has been on premium, platinum and World Elite cards so we're very happy to see that paying off."
Credit card revenues increased by $17 million, or six per cent, in the bank's latest quarter, helped by growing profits from interest income, foreign exchange revenues, interchange revenues and annual fees revenue.
Vachon credits the boost to a number of marketing campaigns National Bank has been running as part of an effort to lure non-clients and those from its wealth management division. Among the lures is an exclusive lounge at Montreal' Dorval airport open to those who hold National Bank Mastercard Elite cards.
"We've not invested a lot in upscale marketing for platinum and world elite types," he said. "So I'm very happy to see increased income because we saw the increased expense for that lounge for the last 12 months."
The Montreal-based bank reported Wednesday that its net profits grew by 10 per cent in the third quarter, helped by growth in its wealth management and financial markets services.
National Bank said it had net income of $441 million, up from $402 million in the same period a year earlier. The earnings amounted to $1.24 per diluted share versus $1.16 year-over-year.
Excluding specific items, National Bank had an adjusted net income of $427 million, up 14 per cent from $374 million in the third quarter of 2013.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.20 for the quarter, easily beating analyst expectations of $1.11, according to estimates compiled by Thomson Reuters.
On the Toronto Stock Exchange, National Bank (TSX:NA) shares gained $1.51 or 3.06 per cent to $50.91, six cents short of the all-time high it hit earlier in the session.
Total revenues were $1.42 billion, up from $1.29 billion in the same period last year.
The bank's wealth management segment had net income totalling $64 million in the quarter, a 31 per cent increase from $49 million in the same quarter of 2013.
Net income for the bank's financial markets segment was $187 million, up 21 per cent from $155 million year-over-year.
Barclays analyst John Aiken called the results a "standout quarter" for National Bank, which saw trading up 25 per cent and advisory fees climb by 36 per cent compared with a year ago.
"Once again, National reported a very strong quarter, coming in meaningfully ahead of expectations," he wrote.
"While the market does not typically give NA credit for its consistent outperformance in trading revenues or advisory fees, this quarter also featured strong earnings within its retail banking operations, evidenced by relatively strong sequential loan and revenue growth and impressive operating leverage."
Return on equity for the quarter was 19.4 per cent compared with 20.1 per cent year-over-year.
The last of the six major Canadian banks — Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM) and Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD) — report their earnings Thursday.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has
provided images of Saturn in many colors, from black-and-white,
to orange, to blue, green, and red. But in this
picture, image processing specialists have worked
to provide a crisp, extremely accurate view of Saturn,
which highlights the planet's pastel colors. Bands
of subtle color - yellows, browns, grays - distinguish
differences in the clouds over Saturn, the second
largest planet in the solar system.
Saturn's high-altitude clouds are
made of colorless ammonia ice. Above these clouds
is a layer of haze or smog, produced when ultraviolet
light from the sun shines on methane gas. The smog
contributes to the planet's subtle color variations.
One of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, is seen casting
a shadow on the giant planet as it passes just above
the ring system.
The flattened disk swirling around
Saturn is the planet's most recognizable feature,
and this image displays it in sharp detail. This
is the planet's ring system, consisting mostly of
chunks of water ice. Although it appears as if the
disk is composed of only a few rings, it actually
consists of tens of thousands of thin "ringlets."
This picture also shows the two classic divisions
in the ring system. The narrow Encke Gap is nearest
to the disk's outer edge; the Cassini division,
is the wide gap near the center.

Apple Breakfast Bars
by "In Jennie's Kitchen" blogger/"Homemade with Love" author Jennifer Perillo
Ingredients for the filling:
1 tablespoon (14 grams) butter
3 apples (345 grams), peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon (12 grams) granulated natural cane sugar
Pinch of fleur de sel
Wedge of lemon
For the crust & topping:
1 cup (150 grams) whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup (95 grams) old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup (54 grams) packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon (10 grams) flax seeds
Pinch of fleur de sel
8 tablespoons (112 grams) butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch square pan with a piece of parchment paper large enough to cover the bottom and come up, over the sides.
To make the filling, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, and salt, and stir to make sure the apples are well coated. Squeeze the lemon over the pan to release its juices into the filling; stir to combine. At this point the apple mixture should be bubbling. Reduce the heat to low, and let the apples simmer until they are very tender, and broken down (similar to a very chunky applesauce), 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, get started on the crust and topping. Add the flour, oats, sugar, flax seeds and salt to a deep bowl. Whisk to combine. Pour in the melted butter, and using a fork, stir until it becomes a wet, sandy-looking mixture, and the dry ingredients have fully absorbed the butter. Divide the mixture in half.
Press half the flour and oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the apple filling into an even layer on top. Sprinkle the remaining flour and oat mixture evenly over the filling. Use your fingers to gently press the topping into the filling.
Bake for 45 minutes, until the top is deep golden, and the filling is gently bubbling through cracks in the topping. Remove from the oven, and let cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. If you left enough overhang on your parchment paper, you should be able to hold the ends of it to lift the bars from the pan. Cut them into 12 equal rectangles, or smaller bite-sized pieces if you prefer.
Store bars in a covered container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Usage Statement

With Mexico gaining independence from Spain in 1821, control of Texas passed into new hands, but the old problems of governing Texas, dealing with the Indians, and controlling the tide of foreign settlers remained the same. Some of these settlers came as loyal subjects while others harbored more ambitious designs. All of them came seeking opportunity.
Harmony with state and federal officials was indispensable to the success of the colonies. Stephen F. Austin realized this fact and never allowed the settlers to forget the solid benefits that they received through the liberal colonization policy or their obligation to obey the laws and become loyal Mexican citizens. He anticipated and disarmed criticism of inconvenient laws and clumsy administration and then used the patience of the colonists as evidence of good faith in begging the government for concessions.
By 1832, Austin's various colonies contained eight thousand persons, and other empresarios such as Green De Witt and Martin de Leon, had brought in a great many more. The rapid growth of the colonies, in addition to persistent efforts of the United States to buy Texas, increased the anxiety of Mexican leaders. Their consequent attempts to safeguard the territory by stopping immigrationwith other irritationscaused an insurrection, and the continued friction led to revolution and independence.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of muscadine red wine and grape juice on weight, body fat, lipids, inflammation, and antioxidant capacity in overweight individuals. METHODS: In a randomized crossover design, 19 subjects consumed 300 mL of wine (WG) or grape juice (JG) for two weeks and acutely upon returning to the lab. Blood was drawn at baseline, post two weeks, and acutely. The statistical design was a 2 (treatments) x 3 (times) repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS: Overall weight gain occurred in both groups with treatment effect (P=0.044) and time effect (P=0.018). Significant weight gain was found in WG (P=0.027). Total fat mass percentage, C-reactive protein and lipids were not affected by red wine or grape juice consumption. Ferric reducing ability of plasma significantly increased after acute, but not chronic, consumption of red wine (P<0.001). Oxygen radical absorptive capacity of plasma did not change significantly for either treatment. CONCLUSION: Adding wine or grape juice to the diets of overweight sedentary individuals, with no other dietary alterations, resulted in significant weight gain. Acute consumption of red wine resulted in significant changes in antioxidant capacity which may confer potential benefits on health variables other than ones examined in the present study.

In 2 Kings 5:10 we read:
[version info] וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו אֱלִישָׁע, מַלְאָךְ לֵאמֹר: הָלוֹךְ, וְרָחַצְתָּ שֶׁבַע-פְּעָמִים בַּיַּרְדֵּן, וְיָשֹׁב בְּשָׂרְךָ לְךָ וּטְהָר.
[version info] And Elisha sent a messenger unto [Naaman], saying: 'Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come back to thee, and thou shalt be clean.'
I would like to understand the word וּטְהָר in this context. Does it simply mean "clean", or is it related to ritual purity/impurity? If it is the latter does this mean that non-Israelites can contract ritual impurity?

Try your search again, but first:
The presence of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and varying levels of cyanides in FCC main fractionator overhead systems means there is potential for corrosion. Corrosion mechanisms normally found are bisulfide corrosion and hydrogen-induced corrosion due to cyanides.
Bisulfide corrosion is caused by the conversion of hydrogen sulfide in high pH water to bisulfide, and the direct reaction of bisulfide with iron in the process materials. The application of Nalco Water filming inhibitors specially designed to operate in high pH environments minimizes this corrosion.
The presence of cyanide ions can accelerate bisulfide attack and promote hydrogen induced cracking mechanisms, such as:
Refiners employ water washing, chemical treatment to reduce hydrogen generation and chemical treatment to reduce hydrogen cyanide in the system to prevent or minimize corrosion and hydrogen activity attack. Nalco Water can help minimize the impacts of corrosion by reducing the formation of hydrogen atoms through the use of uniquely designed filming inhibitor chemistries.

Mesa County: arrest made in death of soccer mom turned escort
The soccer-mom/stripper murder investigation was a process of elimination and it took seven years.
Before the Mesa County Sheriff's Department felt comfortable arresting Lester Ralph Jones in the death of Paige Birgfeld, they had to discount the possibility that many other men may have been culpable.
It was a time-consuming, meticulous process.
Key events happened along the way. The biggest was the discovery of Birgfeld's remains by a hiker in the Wells Gulch area in Delta County on May 6, 2012.
But in the end what made the difference wasn't new gotcha evidence like a fingerprint or a DNA link. The determining evidence was circumstantial and known by Mesa County Sheriff's deputies since the beginning of the investigation.
"We believe at this point we have crossed off the list all the things we needed to do to make an arrest," Mesa County Sheriff-elect Matt Lewis said in a news conference Friday. "There's not a significant event as much as this is an exhaustive process we've been going through."
Jones faces charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and second-degree arson.
Many of the clues that led to Jones' arrest were known within days or weeks of Birgfeld's disappearance on June 30, 2007.
When she vanished, Birgfeld was for many just a devoted mother holding down several different jobs to support her three young children and hold onto her upscale Grand Junction home. The twice-divorced Birgfeld sold Pampered Chef products and homemade baby slings from her home.
By day, the bubbly, friendly, outspoken woman was a doting mom, but by night she was a high-priced call girl who charged clients nearly $3,000 for a single evening. She had advertised in-call and out-call services under the alias of "Carrie" on a website called NaughtyNightlife.com and scheduled liaisons with other call girls.

Originally produced at the East West Players in 2007 under the title "Dawn's Light: The Journey of Gordon Hirabayashi," this moving piece has come to the Pasadena Playhouse.
Produced in association with East West Players and directed by talented Jessica Kubzansky, HOLD THESE TRUTHS tells the true story of Hirabayashi, who refused to comply with World War II Executive Order 9066 and surrender himself for removal to a detention center because of his Japanese ancestry. After all, Hirabayashi was a born and bred American with all the inalienable constitutional rights of any American citizen - or was he?
HOLD THESE TRUTHS delves into issues of democracy, constitutional law, and human rights – but also plumbs the heart of a young man who believes to the core of his being that what's fair is fair. This is a man who is convinced that justice will triumph – and that the rule of law is unbiased, rational, and just. Hirabayashi takes his case all the way up to the Supreme Court, and what ensues will shock many theater-goers unfamiliar with Executive Order 9066.
Talented solo performer Ryun Yu stars as Gordon Hirabayashi. Yu holds the audience in the palm of his hand as he follows the unexpected adventures of this dedicated young man. HOLD THESE TRUTHS is studded with moments that may bring tears to your eyes – and the occasional chuckle punctuated by sporadic anger. But as Yu ages before your eyes, the world also begins to change.
With a few chairs, a couple of changes of clothing, and clever use of lighting, Yu recreates youthful innocence through maturing wisdom while he takes on the roles of those who loved him, feared him, or just didn't understand him. Kubzansky's direction is faultless as the play creates its own universe and brings the audience back almost 80 years to a shameful period in U.S. history.
HOLD THESE TRUTHS manages to take some hideous historic facts and events and bring them down to the manageable perspective of just one man. This is a very human view of history. As such, it is a fascinating peak into how these events impacted on the lives of the people they targeted. This is a play which has captivated audiences from coast-to-coast. It is heartwarming, entertaining, and powerful. But most important – it is human; and it never loses sight of that. After every performance, the Pasadena Playhouse sponsors post-show activities to bring people together and to facilitate open and productive discussion. This add-on is definitely the cherry on top!
HOLD THESE TRUTHS runs through June 25, 2017, with performances at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays through Fridays, at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sundays. The Pasadena Playhouse is located at 39 S. El Molino Avenue, Pasadena, CA. Tickets range from $25 to $115. For information and reservations, call 626-356-7529.

Bob S. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
2 ganadores han sido elegidos entre 157 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Awareness Center, inc. - website under construction
Bob Spatz's Awareness Center (AC) is going to be an on-line personal growth center. Bob has been involved in the human potential movement since the 60's and AC is orientation towards personal growth, spiritual development, and holistic health – body, heart, head, intuition and spirit – and it includes life coaching, body work, political and self-help blogs, a resource guide for non-profit organizations and their employees, paintings of angels, a purpose/mission statement, and a book-in-progress. We want to brand 'Bob Spatz' and his services (life coaching, blogs, speaking, and book-in-progress), as well as the other service providers (artist, bodyworkers and other forms of holistic health/therapy) offered by the Awareness Center.
Mostly women, but anyone who is interested in personal growth and spiritual development. Mostly New Age types, but we want to be attractive to anyone who wants to change their life. We offer some cutting-edge methods for personal growth and want to welcome the curious.We don't want to appear too far-out and woo-woo, because we aren't, but we want a gentle, inviting, and peaceful feeling. The logo is primarily for the website, but will probably be used on business cards, banners and brochures.
We are open-minded about what it should look like. But it needs to go well with our website design (sky, clouds, stones- see links below) so it might relate to nature. Best colors probably blue and green, next would be red or brown. An image or suggestion of a tree would relate well to an analogy probably used in the text, but it's not required. The name Bob Spatz shouldn't be quite as prominent as Awareness Center. Awareness could be spelled AWAREness. Might go well with Papyrus bold typeface. There is an element of A- B -C (Awareness - Balance - Center) in the content and in the title/sub-title, so ABC might be used somehow.
Website logo in upper left. Below are links to the designs with space for the logo:

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
In general, it is assumed that pre-employment requests for information will form the basis for hiring decisions. Therefore, employers should not request information that discloses or tends to disclose an applicant's race unless it has a legitimate business need for such information. If an employer legitimately needs information about its employees' or applicants' race for affirmative action purposes and/or to track applicant flow, it may obtain the necessary information and simultaneously guard against discriminatory selection by using a mechanism, such as "tear-off" sheets. This allows the employer to separate the race-related information from the information used to determine if a person is qualified for the job. Asking for race-related information on the telephone could probably never be justified.

Inside of this article, we will check out some tips which you can use to have success. Here's the Hook Me Up very first tip that I can provide you with for internet dating success.
While it may look a clear courtesy to communicate with her on the product, lots of my female clients let me know here is the exception as opposed to the rule. Many women inform me that their primary kind of communication with someone these are dating is most likely through email or texts. Men should know that the principal way of contact must be by phone calls having a sprinkling of emails and texts. Making telephone calls shows a caring and approach. Sending emails and texts A Hook Up shows too little concern and interest.
The best online dating sites will ask one to appear in for their office and may support your profile matching you I Hook Up You with all the kind of person you request. They screen all members and run criminal record checks to get rid of the not so good people.
I'm sure you've felt the frustration of going to a totally gorgeous woman before and knowing with absolute certainty that you will never get her. It's probably the most horrible feelings on the globe, one that I was on a first name basis with: the sense of inadequacy. But then, something about me changed and I discovered a way to overcome my anxiety around women, a method to truly let myself shine and be capable of getting any Is Hook Me Up girl available. And now, I am gonna share what I've learned along with you.
So, think carefully in what you write, and you will then be a little more likely being spending your time meeting Just Hook Up Friend guys that are the most appropriate to suit your needs. In other words, 'Do unto others as you could have them do unto you'!
Many occasions when guys speak about how hard it really is in order to meet women, it's given that they are increasingly being lazy over it. They are staying in your own home or likely to places where they're betting that that they can won't come upon any single women, a minimum of not the ones that they wish to date. You have to go the place that the women are, regardless of whether it forces you to get rid of your comfortable zone. And more importantly, you must have fun while performing it. Guys that appear to be bored or out of place usually are not those who women want to satisfy. The fun guys are people who they would like to spend time with.
The reasons why women are interested in men who are wealthy and so are financially rich, in contrast to men who get each year the consequences to be around the opposite end of monetary spectrum is a result of many different things. The main of the being the biological hardwiring with the woman, because wealth could be the power to access as well as have certain resources that happen to be essential to survival and in addition important to leading a "fulfilling life", built to be secure and Hook Up Guys optimal for that rearing and raising of children. This is way more explicit coming from a woman's perspective because it is role, if she actually is aware, to mate which has a man who are able to provide you with the adequate protection that is essential for the successful raising of her children.
When you're conversing with your spouse about significant things, and they also cannot even look you inside the eye; make sure they're lying. You see, liars find it hard to look you directly inside the eye, because they are fearful of being caught. Instead they appear down, or around at other items.
Nodding your brain as soon as your date is talking is not a good plan at all particularly if you get it done an excessive amount of. She will think you might be not interested in the discussion, that what she is saying is boring or that you want her to wrap what jane is rambling about. While nodding a little bit can inform her that you just go along with some things she says, you have still got to keep it at its minimum.
What type of qualities have you got? List many of them, such as romantic, creative, fun, loyal, or other things that are one thinks of. If you are searching for a Hook Up With Friend romantic encounter, then frame your profile by doing this, but when you are interested in the dinner companion, then perhaps highlighting your goals and interests might be more appropriate.
5. Finally, as a last point for this report on internet dating strategies for men, I suggest that you do actually socialize within the network. No Hook Up Online dating sites are also typical of social networking sites and they're called that for the reason. So go and socialize. Visit people's profiles and inform them you happen in the network. You can't just await these to view your profile, you will need to really do some socializing yourself.
If you found yourself in this case and you also start to notice a strange behavior in your partner then never worry because it's very possible capture a cheating spouse by mobile phone number without one being worried about how you behave.
Single women and men who are quiet or meek are often overlooked and misunderstood by other singles. People sometimes mistake their introverted personality as a not enough desire for things, boring or they may be simply arrogant and don't care to talk along with other singles. With that said, we stress the importance to let you're potential match know ahead of time in the communication that you just are Hook Up A Date a individual that is meek and mild mannered as well as help you're date if you do get together the very first time. You don't want your potential match thinking following the first date that you weren't considering following a relationship further because you're somewhat reserved and quite on the first date. Being upfront and simple together from a symptom will improve your likelihood of choosing the perfect match for a long term successful relationship. In the scheme of relationship chemistry and compatibility there is a constant need to lose any match when you seem to them that you simply are not comfortable with being affectionate with these. Good Luck and Happy Online Personals Dating to all Singles!
You call her and commence developing a great conversation. The dialog still flows as well as the chemistry is off the hook! It's now time and energy to ask Hook Up To Friend her out. She says yes and also you agree to meet Saturday night at the nice restaurant.
There is certainly one more tip you could use when Hook Up Services attempting to seduce women. This tip is approximately a secretive technique employed by those that call themselves 'masters of seduction'.
Internet Dating is generally a wonderful approach to meet someone if you've been out from the dating scene for awhile. It's also a great strategy to meet someone if you're only starting dating. It provides person the opportunity to reach out to people without the need to agree to an authentic directly date.

Gardy wins first challenge after lengthy process
Twins skipper forced to pull starter Correia as result of roughly five-minute review
CHICAGO -- Ron Gardenhire won his first challenge of the year against the White Sox on Wednesday, but the Twins' manager came away displeased with how long the process took.
Gardenhire asked for a review on what was initially ruled a catch by Adam Eaton in the seventh inning of the Twins' eventual 7-6 loss in 11 innings, and the play was ultimately overturned. But the process took roughly five minutes, and Gardenhire said it led to his decision to remove right-hander Kevin Correia from the game after six effective innings.
"It took a long time," Gardenhire said. "I don't know what was going on, but it took an awful long time and you end up losing your starter because of it. You just have to live with it."
Major League Baseball released a statement on why the play took so long to be overturned via replay.
"We had two replays occur at the same exact time [the other was in Oakland], and while we were prepared, it made the review processes take longer than normal," the statement read. "Overall, we are pleased with the first few days of the new system, and we do not expect the length of the review in today's Twins-White Sox game to be typical."
With White Sox reliever Daniel Webb pitching and Trevor Plouffe at first base with nobody out, Oswaldo Arcia lifted a fly ball to center field that Eaton appeared to catch but bobbled and dropped as he tried to transfer the ball from his glove.
After the call was overturned, Plouffe was allowed to advance to second even though he never tried to go to second on the fly ball, which he believed was caught.
White Sox manager Robin Ventura and Eaton both agreed it was the correct call to overturn the catch, as Eaton didn't properly take the ball out of his glove on the play.
"He bobbled it enough to call it no-catch," Ventura said. "And we didn't do a good enough job -- even if he dropped it -- to try to get him at second base, so they awarded him second base."
"I thought I had it caught, but with the new replay, they go by the rule book -- let's put it that way," Eaton said. "I just need to catch it and make sure I transfer it.
After the overturned call, Kurt Suzuki struck out before Aaron Hicks singled to left field, but Plouffe was thrown out at home by Alejandro De Aza trying to score from second. Webb then got out of the inning by striking out Pedro Florimon.
But the bigger issue was that it caused Gardenhire to take Correia out of the game after throwing just 82 pitches. Correia gave up three runs (two earned) on five hits, and retired 13 of the last 15 batters he faced.
"It wasn't really a situation where I couldn't go out there, but when it's 35 degrees and I don't know how long that inning was taking anyways, it pretty much came down to that review," Correia said. "Without that review, I would've gone back out. Even though it went our way, we didn't get anything else out of it and I had to come out of the game."

Charlotte school wins $500,000 in Facebook contest
Each school had to tell how it would use its winnings, and then get supporters to visit Kohl's Facebook page and vote for their project. The top 20 vote-getters would each get $500,000. Some 11 million votes were cast nationwide, and the Jewish Day School came in No. 11. It plans to use the money to upgrade its technology, buy new computers, upfit a science lab and even buy its first school bus.
The school went all out with its campaign, staging a "Vote-a-Thon" for alumni and friends, making up T-shirts, and getting help from prominent Charlotte social networkers who spread the message to thousands of their contacts on Facebook and Twitter. Principal Mariashi Groner thanked volunteers, saying they worked non-stop during the seven-week campaign. "Sometimes in a smaller school, there's more determination," she said. "We're absolutely thrilled. Euphoric ... It's going to make a big difference to our school."
According to Kohl's Facebook page, the next highest-ranking N.C. school in the contest was Liberty Preparatory Christian Academy in Mooresville, which finished 39th. Here in Charlotte, New Life Christian Academy School of the Arts finished 274th, and Mallard Creek High finished 494th.

This is totally insane. What does a private school need with half a million dollars. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of charlotte mecklenburg schools who are desperate for this kind of funding to get things like books and school supplies for underage kids. But no I think these kids at the private school need to get new computers and a bus.

I agree, this is totally insane. It is insane that other schools did not have the drive and determination that this school did to get out there and get the work done in order to be successful in this contest.
Of course there are schools in Mecklenburg County that could benefit more from the funds, however they did not put forth the effort to win the contest. Therefore, the funds are going to the most deserving school.

Yes, good things shouldn't happen to kids whose parents happen to be able to afford private school or find a way to afford private school. Only poor kids should benefit from "free" stuff.

Kinda drives home the point of just how important that parental involvement is to the success of a child's education, whether it be for math, science, or a contest. No matter how much money you throw at the problem, or how much you want to blame teachers, it's parental involvement that is the most important factor of a child getting the best education he/she can. My child went to a public school, scored a 2160 on the SAT with a 4.7 grade point average and took 10 college credits with her when she went off to NCSU this past fall. This has been her plan since she was 8 years old. We instilled in her the importance of a good education, supported her along the way, and she did the rest. Quit blaming teachers, Mr. Gorman, for what parents fail to do. Congratulations to the local winners. Effort equals success.

It's a little insulting saying that a private school doesn't deserve this. Over 35% of the families at CJDS receive financial aid. Many families make sacrifices so their children will have this wonderful Jewish education. And as you already know...any school could have won this, even PUBLIC schools that have thousands of kids.

Many of you seem to miss the point. With 100,000 schools in the running, a school with just 111 kids (and their parents) were able to get enough community involvement to do what schools of 1,000's of students could not - come together. They earned it. People that spend time complaining about 'have's' and 'have not's' - are mostly 'do-nothings'.

So sad that there is such bigotry and negativity associated with this accomplishment. CJDS exists for those students who cannot get the education they need/want in the public arena. Many of us have no choice but to send our children to private school when the county schools cannot offer services. Trust me, we struggle everyday trying to provide a decent education for our children. We are, by no means, privileged. We are, however, privileged to have helped a wonderful school reach their goal.

By reading some of these posts about "Jews fighting for money" and "Jews on the "selecting panel" If you had read the rules of the contest - it's based on VOTES - as usual, it just shows the ignorance of those who are truly bigots and racists who post meaningless comments here. It was a contest held on Facebook - any school could have applied and worked towards the goal that was achieved here by CJDS and the community that supports them. Be racist all you want - it does not change the fact or belittle the accomplishment that took place here.

It is an accomplishment, I certainly would not argue that point.(BTW, I was the first one to post) However, what I have a problem with is that people are celebrating the accomplishments of people who have the means and education to accomplish somthing like this. Raffling off and I-pad, organizing functions for people to vote at southpark, these are not things that I would expect the parents of underpriviledged children to be able to pull together. Maybe I don't give them enough credit. I guess I should really kind fault with Kohls, this was an incredibly idiotic way to give away half a million dollars. Not because of how they did it, but who it was for. There are schools with so much need out there. If Kohls was going to give charitably they should have been a tad more responsible about how they decided who would get this money. I just don't think private school kids needed this money. I am sorry. If the school needs money, raise tuition. If you can't afford tuition go to a public school. If you think public schools are inferior and don't meet the needs of your child, then maybe your child has special needs.

there is nothing to 'voting'. it is anonymous. it can be repeated. it is not as if the school found that many people, one per vote. a simple macro can be setup up to run over and over and over again, voting time after time after time. that's how they 'won'.

What a bunch of ridiculous comments - they entered a contest held by Kohl's - anyone could have entered, they organized, they got the votes - followed the rules - they came in 11th - that's it...they are a private school - so what - does that violate any rules? if it was a Christian school or a CharMeck school, no one would have bothered with their racist comments or hillbilly logic. Again, it does not diminish or take away from the fact that THEY WON - and followed the rules - Only in Charlotte would these types of comments be made in such an idiotic manner.

The fact that they set up at South Park and used tactics like the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to sell cookies and popcorn must be a "Jewish" thing too.
Charlotte Latin, Charlotte Chrisian, Charlotte Catholic were eligible as well. It only goes to show that rich jews would have to do this for fund raising. No anti semitism here.
If the people posting had followed the contest, it went on for 7 weeks. Each Facebook account was allowed 5 votes. If a macro had been set up, there would have been some note in the media about the millions of new accounts opened all of a sudden. The 500K votes they got were at least 100k individuals voting for them.
Give them the credit they deserve.

Shawn Johnson Dancing with NASCAR and Kyle Petty
Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson went from winning "Dancing With The Stars" to "Dancing With The Cars" at the 50th running of the Coca-Cola 600. After joining NASCAR® fan favorite Kyle Petty for a few heart-pounding 160 MPH laps in an actual race car, she stuck the landing on a celebratory back flip. Johnson has been named an Honorary Race Official for the 50th Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.
I think it's really cool that a 17 year old is able to do all of these cool things. Shawn Johnson must be having the time of her life. These are memories she'll be talking about for the rest of her life.
Check out this gallery of pictures from the event (3 more to come soon):

I moved to different continents a few times (Europe -> North America -> Asia -> Europe) and ended up with a stack of DVDs I can't play now.
I looked around for a firmware update for my iMac, but it doesn't look like it exists:
Since I got the DVDs legitimately, I feel like I have the right to play them. So my question is, I mainly have a whole bunch of DVDs from North America. Is my only safe option to buy a secondary external DVD player for this region, or is it possible to find a region-free DVD player altogether (I'm in Germany right now). I had trouble finding it.

Baby…it's good to see you
Whitney Houston showed up with daughter Bobbi Kristina last night in London for Fashion Rocks. By all accounts she looked trim and enthusiastic and not stoned.
This is very good news.
After over a decade of debauchery with Bobby Brown and then stumbling post split into her own drug-addled drama, Whitney finally, hopefully, seems in control of her life.
In many ways, her story mirrors Britney. Early fame, an image created for her, an image foreign to her true self, and then hardcore rebellion with disastrous consequences. Will it be 10 years before Britney bounces back…if ever?

Breaking down MLB's $150 million men
- Jacoby Ellsbury%27s %24153 million deal with the Yankees is the 18th of at least %24150 million
- Several have backfired%2C perhaps most notably Albert Pujols%27 %24240 million deal with the Angels
- Robinson Cano figures to easily exceed the %24150 million plateau as well this winter
You have to keep reminding yourself teams wouldn't be spending this kind of money if they didn't have it.
Jacoby Ellsbury's seven-year, $153 million deal with the New York Yankees sent shock waves throughout baseball partly because it signaled the club is back in spending mode after supposedly embracing austerity, but just as much because of the size of the contract.
Making that kind of investment in a 30-year-old outfielder who relies heavily on his speed and has an extensive history of injuries seems at best a risky proposition, at worst a fool's errand.
And yet, the magnitude of the deal shouldn't be that surprising anymore. Ellsbury's new contract is hardly trendsetting, becoming the 18th in baseball worth at least $150 million.
SHIPPING OUT OF BOSTON:Ellsbury joins rival Yankees
Heck, three other current Yankees have signed bigger deals – Alex Rodriguez has done it twice – and that's before Robinson Cano cashes in on what's sure to be this offseason's largest payout, whether it comes from the Yankees or another team.
With clubs getting an extra $25 million a season from the national TV deal, doubling their previous intake, more of these monster deals are in store in the near future.
Will they prove wise investments? A look back at the previous 17 contracts valued at $150 million or more shows mixed results, with plenty of cautionary tales and warning signs for the parties doling out the dough, but also several instances of worthwhile expenditures.
Here's our breakdown of those deals:
Money Well Spent
Miguel Cabrera, eight years, $152.3 million with Detroit Tigers: The gold standard for getting maximum value from a mega-deal. The Tigers handed this extension to Cabrera, about to turn 25, less than four months after trading for him. He has rewarded them with two MVP seasons, including the majors' first Triple Crown since 1967, while averaging 38 homers and 123 RBI in his six seasons in Detroit. Plus, he's under contract for two more years. Bravo, Tigers!
Derek Jeter, 10 years, $189 million with Yankees: Worth every penny, as Jeter made eight All-Star Games and helped the Yankees reach three World Series – though winning only one – during the length of the contract. Jeter signed the deal at 26, entering his prime, and batted .310 with a .824 on-base-plus-slugging percentage over the next 10 seasons.
Alex Rodriguez, 10 years, $252 million with Texas Rangers: In the seven years after signing his contract heard 'round the world at 25, A-Rod produced three MVP seasons and an average of 53 homers and 149 RBI. However artificially enhanced, those numbers justified the yearly salary of $25 million. What came later, after he opted out and re-signed with the Yankees, is a different story.
Manny Ramirez, eight years, $160 million with Boston Red Sox: Say what you will about his antics, but Ramirez helped bring Boston two World Series crowns and was the MVP of the curse-breaking 2004 championship. Only once in those eight seasons did Ramirez fall short of driving in 100 runs or post an OPS below .980. His departure was ugly, but Ramirez more than earned his keep, and his yearly salary was more than reasonable by contract's end.
CC Sabathia, seven years, $161 million with Yankees: This one gets a qualified endorsement because Sabathia was the horse who carried New York to the World Series championship in 2009, and he was highly effective in his first four seasons in the Bronx. The mistake was to rework the contract after the 2011 season, tacking on another year and increasing the annual salary from $23 million to $24.4 million. Sabathia's ERA ballooned to 4.78 last season, a sign that all those innings are starting to take their toll.
Albert Pujols, 10 years, $240 million with Los Angeles Angels: The leader in the clubhouse for worst contract in baseball history. Pujols' disappointing first season as an Angel in 2012, when he had career-low figures to that point in home runs (30), batting average (.285) and OPS (.859), looks suspiciously like the best one he'll ever have in Anaheim. Pujols will enter the 2014 season at 34, coming off surgery on his plantar fascia and with $212 million still owed him over the next eight years. And his contract prevents the Angels from other business, such as improving their pitching staff or locking up their true franchise player, Mike Trout. Yikes.
Rodriguez, 10 years, $275 million with Yankees: The New York brass knew it would have to accept diminished production at some point in this deal. Nobody figured that decline would start right away. A-Rod's OPS decreased by 102 points to .965 the year after he was the 2007 MVP, opted out and got the new contract, and it has dwindled every season since, to .771 in 2013. A substantial part of the $86 million (plus bonuses) he still has coming is now under dispute as Rodriguez fights a 211-game MLB suspension. Guess which side the Yankees are pulling for.
Joe Mauer, eight years, $184 million with Minnesota Twins: The contract would only work out for the Twins if Mauer continued to provide elite offensive production, as he did in his MVP season of 2009, while playing most of his games as a catcher. But Mauer's OPS hasn't come close to that year's 1.031 mark, and aftereffects of a concussion will force him to move to first base next season. Now his huge salary is hamstringing the small-market franchise.
Mark Teixeira, eight years, $180 million with Yankees: In his first season in New York, Teixeira finished second in the AL MVP race and helped the club win the championship. Even as his batting average and OPS kept decreasing, Teixeira delivered big power numbers the next two years, then fell victim to injuries and slumps in 2012 and '13. Last season he played in 15 games, batting .151, and needed wrist surgery. Teixeira turns 34 early next season and is owed $67.5 million. As with Rodriguez's second huge contract, his decline has come much too quickly to justify the investment.
YANKEES:10 questions in the wake of the Ellsbury deal
Troy Tulowitzki, 10 years, $157.75 million with Colorado Rockies: Paying less than $16 million a year for the game's best shortstop would be considered quite reasonable if he played every day. But injuries have forced Tulowitzki to miss at least 36 games in three of the last four seasons, and he played in only 47 games in 2012. The Rockies had Tulowitzki under contract through 2014 and three years ago chose to extend him through 2020, a gamble that hasn't paid off.
Jury's still out
Joey Votto, 10 years, $225 million with Cincinnati Reds: The Reds didn't give Votto all that money to see him average 65 RBI over the last two seasons. Walks are nice, but Votto will have to increase his production to justify the big checks.
Prince Fielder, nine years, $214 million with Tigers: Fielder averaged 27.5 home runs and 107 RBI in his two seasons in Detroit, and lineup mate Miguel Cabrera won AL MVP awards both seasons. The Tigers also won one AL pennant and came within two wins of another. Yet the Tigers clearly acknowledged their mistake when they swallowed $30 million of his future salary to send him to the Rangers for second baseman Ian Kinsler. Fielder, who will be 30 in May, is still a good bet in any Home Run Derby, but his OPS has dropped in three of the last four seasons, and overweight players typically don't age well.
Justin Verlander, seven years, $180 million with Tigers: It's never a good sign when the game's most dominant pitcher has his worst season in five years right after signing an extension. Verlander, however, returned to form in September and in the playoffs, allaying some concerns.
Felix Hernandez, seven years, $175 million with Seattle Mariners: Other than a vexing August slump, Hernandez was his usual nasty self in the first season of his extension. Given his age (27) and popularity in the Great Northwest, keeping him was imperative.
Buster Posey, nine years, $167 million with San Francisco Giants: Much like Mauer, Posey yields much more value as a catcher than anywhere else, and the possibility of moving him to another position has been frequently debated. Posey's offense declined markedly last season, but his youth (26) and track record point to him providing a solid return on the investment.
Matt Kemp, eight years, $160 million with Los Angeles Dodgers: Kemp used to be a paragon of durability, averaging 159 games in the four seasons before signing the extension. Now he can't stay on the field. At 29, he's too young and talented to give up on, but Yasiel Puig's emergence and the presence of two other high-priced outfielders in Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier might prompt the Dodgers to consider moving Kemp.
Adrian Gonzalez, seven years, $154 million with Red Sox: It says something about Gonzalez's value that the Red Sox were willing to trade him during the first year of his new contract, when he was in the process of driving in 100-plus runs for the third year in a row. Gonzalez remains productive, but his diminishing power is a concern.

Antimicrobial agents play a critical role in reducing morbidity and mortality due to communicable diseases the world over. However, the emergence and spread of resistance to many of these agents are negating their efficacy. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effectiveness of successful treatments for infections and is a public health issue with local, national and global dimensions. In low-income countries, AMR frequently occurs in microorganisms that are likely to be transmitted in the community such as those that cause pneumonia, diarrheal diseases, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases and malaria. Resistance to antimicrobial agents renders drugs for these illnesses ineffective, resulting in the need for wide-scale use of broad-spectrum agents, in the process creating a major global threat. Almost all studies on the outcomes of patients with bloodstream infections demonstrate high mortality in hospitals due to inappropriate use of antimicrobial agents.
Resistant organisms or their resistance genetic materials can be spread widely by travellers or through contaminated goods traded internationally. Antimicrobial resistance thus is a global challenge requiring multidisciplinary and multisectorial efforts at national, regional and global levels. It is possible to minimize the spread of antimicrobial resistance through adopting approaches such as combination therapy, rational prescription of medication, patient adherence to prescription regimen, strong regulatory mechanisms, and educational activities, along with creating an efficient surveillance system. This is feasible through strong national monitoring programmes that aim to detect the emergence and spread of resistant strains. A number of initiatives have been launched by the WHO Regional Office for Africa and other agencies to combat the growing threat of AMR.
Members States in the WHO African Region endorsed the Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) strategy in 1998 and recommended the implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) in the framework of IDSR. Effective implementation of IDSR will strengthen networks of public health laboratories and thus contribute to effective monitoring of antimicrobial resistance.
Accurate, reliable and timely laboratory testing is an essential component of effective disease prevention and management. High quality AMR testing is essential for clinicians to make accurate diagnoses, formulate treatment plans and subsequently monitor the effects of treatment. It is also important to guide national policies and treatment guidelines according to the national AMR patterns. Improving laboratory-based surveillance of AMR is a key component of health system strengthening and is critical to the enhancement of health care delivery and disease prevention and control. In addition, the WHO Global Strategy for Containment of Antimicrobial Resistance recognized laboratory-based surveillance of antibiotic resistance as a fundamental priority for the development of strategies to contain antibiotic resistance and for assessment of the impact of interventions.
To contribute to the improvement of surveillance of antimicrobial resistance at the country level, the WHO Regional Office for Africa has developed this guide to facilitate establishing of laboratory-based surveillance for priority bacterial diseases in the WHO African Region.

Stiffness Based Tuning
What is different about Stiffness Based Tuning?
Stiffness Based Tuning only requires a simple ramp within the specimen's elastic limit to measure the specimen stiffness. Using our patented algorithms, this stiffness is then used to calculate the optimum control gains in a matter of seconds. This means no lengthy tuning process, reduced complexity and no specimen damage before the test begins!
Find out here how Ghent University in Belgium benefits from this technology!
What is tuning?
Tuning is the vital process undertaken before a fatigue test to allow the system to properly control the machine, and for your test to run successfully. It traditionally involves loading the test specimen with a number of sudden step changes and automatically or manually iterating the control gains until the performance meets the test requirements. This process is time consuming and daunting for less experienced users.
Why do I need to tune?
Fatigue systems are high performance machines that can run in load or strain control at high frequencies. Unlike a traditional position controlled electromechanical system, this requires sophisticated control techniques to provide smooth and controlled motion. Ultimately, this means the system needs to be tuned before each new test so that the performance and control is optimized for that specimen material and geometry, so your data is accurate and repeatable. Failure to tune can result in system instability and unreliable data.
