Описание: The New York Times bestseller--"a rollicking account" (The Kansas City Star) of the infamous baseball game between the Yankees and Royals in which a game-winning home run was overturned and set off one of sports history's most absurd and entertaining controversies. On July 24, 1983, during the finale of a heated four-game series between the dynastic New York Yankees and small-town Kansas City Royals, umpires nullified a go-ahead home run based on an obscure rule, when Yankees manager Billy Martin pointed out an illegal amount of pine tar--the sticky substance used for a better grip--on Royals third baseman George Brett's bat. Brett wildly charged out of the dugout and chaos ensued. The call temporarily cost the Royals the game, but the decision was eventually overturned, resulting in a resumption of the game several weeks later that created its own hysteria. The game was a watershed moment, marking a change in the sport, where benign cheating tactics like spitballs, Superball bats, and a couple extra inches of tar on an ash bat, gave way to era of soaring salaries, labor strikes, and rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs. In The Pine Tar Game acclaimed sports writer Filip Bondy paints a portrait of the Yankees and Royals of that era, replete with bad actors, phenomenal athletes, and plenty of yelling. Players and club officials, like Brett, Goose Gossage, Willie Randolph, Ron Guidry, Sparky Lyle, David Cone, and John Schuerholz, offer fresh commentary on the events and their take on the subsequent postseason rivalry. "A sticky moment milked for all its nutty, head-shaking glory" (Sports Illustrated), The Pine Tar Game examines a more innocent time in professional sports, and the shifting tide that resulted in today's modern iteration of baseball. Some watchers of the Royals' 2015 World Series win over New York's "other baseball team," the Mets, may see it as sweet revenge for a bygone era of talent flow and umpire calls favoring New York.
'If your relationship is so bad, why don't you just leave them?'
'If you were in such an abusive relationship, why did you stay with them for so long?'
'If you knew you were in a relationship with such a toxic person, why didn't you ask people for help?'
If you've ever been asked these questions, aside from being ignorant and hurtful, you'll know it's beyond frustrating. The answer to the above questions, whilst it's complex and often confusing, can be given with two words: trauma bonded.
If you find you're in a relationship that you know is so toxic that it's crushing your very being, but you can't bring yourself to leave, you may be in the clutches of a tight trauma bond. If you're constantly feeling on edge, forever working to appease your spouse to little avail and like you're constantly being chipped away at with their abusive behavior, then I can understand how emotionally shattering it feels to live this way. If in the same breath, it breaks your heart to even consider leaving them because you can't imagine life without them, then I can understand that feeling too; because I was trauma bonded to my abusive ex.
From my own personal experience and from the experiences other survivors have opened up to me about, this book will cover the following:
- What trauma bonding really is
- The 7 stages that lead to you becoming trauma bonded
- The parallels that Stockholm syndrome has with trauma bonding
- The 5 stages you go through when you come to accept you're trauma bonded
- The cognitive dissonance a trauma bond can cause
- Breaking free from the traumatic bond
This book will also include my own experiences and I'll draw upon those to help you really understand trauma bonding, and let you know that you're not alone in being shackled by this emotionally crippling bond. More importantly, this book will help you understand that the invisible chain that tethers you to your abuser can be broken.

Описание: Adhesive Bonding in Five Steps
Adhesive bonding is a low-heat joining technique and capable of joining virtually all technically usable materials together in a two-dimensional manner. The bond created by an adhesive is built up very gently, since the bonding process requires neither high heat - as with welding or soldering - nor structurally weakening holes - as with riveting or screwing. Since the bond is usually applied over a large area, it also ensures a relatively uniform stress distribution in the component.
Using a clearly structured 5-step management system, this book provides detailed instructions for the steps required to set up a stable process for producing a safe and high-quality bonded component. The focus is on the treatment of the material surfaces to be bonded, the selection of suitable adhesives, the dimensioning of the bond, and the process steps for metering/mixing and curing the adhesives.
The user is thus presented with sustainable materials as well as modern bonding processes. Here, the special focus is on the suitable methods for surface treatment of the substrates, the adhesives to be used and the processing methods to be employed relevant for the manufacture of bonded components in industry and trade.
Описание: This book, titled "FEAR", has been inspirationally borne out of contemporary societal anxiety, agitation and feigned imminent danger. The devil is seriously capitalizing on the situation to the extent that mankind is put under great perpetual emotional and physical stress. At times, just as the one in which we now live, God is has need for people. He seeks foe those, who are willing and able to be used by Him in reassuring mankind that the solace we need and the solution to these problems is Jesus Christ. He is the one, who was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. With His stripes we are healed. Isaiah, 53:5. In this book, the word, "FEAR", and the synonyms have been carefully examined and discussed in three parts. The first part was devoted to the explanation of the words and their manifestations. The question of whether or not man was created with the spirit of fear, being a demonic spirit and the origin and the areas of attack have been addressed. Occasional references to some relevant facts from chapters and verses quoted directly from the Holy Bible. The implications of fear, the sword for demonic warfare and the question of whether fear is insurable were extensively under focus. Finally, the areas of contagiousness and the immunization of fear received factual attention. For the purpose of producing data for the statistical analysis in part three, an attempt was made in part two. This attempt was aimed at collecting or extracting of chapters and verses containing the word "FEAR" in the Holy Bible. The individual opinion, which may be formed from the analysis in part three, notwithstanding; it is important to recognize the admonishment and emphasis on the words; "Fear, Afraid, Be not afraid, Affrighted and be not terrified. The increased usage of these words in the New Testament of the Holy Bible is worthy of notice. Part four is a reminder to the WICKED that it is not late to re-access
