Tension may mean: In physics, tension is a force on a body directed to produce strain (extension); it can be considered to be negative compression. It is measured in according units (newton, dynes, pounds-force, etc). Tension is the dominant static force acting on such objects as a vibrating string or a stretched rubber band. Hooke's law states the relation between the stress on an object and the resultant increase in its length. The modulus of elasticity of a spring or elastic string can be use ...

At the film's conclusion, viewers discover that Marie is the killer; the insane truck driver is only her split personality. Alex, in turn, is abducted by Marie because she is the latter's love interest. A la The Sixth Sense, "clues" were filmed within the story to keep viewers guessing before the film's infamous "twist", before it was unveiled. But (according to the supplemental commentary on the DVD release), due to time and budget constraints, most of them had to be cut. However, a few of these said "clues" do exist in ...

Worry causes fear, anxiety, tension and stress. These emotions deplete energy and weaken the immune system. Worriers become sick and this is manifested in poor health, because of all the problems that are eating into their vitals.

And worry is certainly not the same as constructive thinking; if it were, we would have found solutions to most of our problems.

Jainism: Tension of Opposites Central to Existence

According to Acharya Mahaprajna, opposition is a fundamental rule for existence. "There is no type of existence in which opposites do not co-exist. In a sense, existence may also be defined as the coming together of opposites. It is the principle of the quest for unity between two apparently different characteristics of a substance. It tries to point out that the characteristics which differences have, also have an identicality. Reconciliation, which is a principle of anekant , comes about only with the recognition of the identity principle.''

The Condon Committee was the informal name of the University of Colorado UFO Project, a study of unidentified flying objects, undertaken at the University of Colorado and directed by physicist Edward Condon from 1966 to 1968. The Condon Committee was instigated at the behest of the United States Air Force, which had studied UFOs since the 1940's. After examining many hundreds of UFO files from the Air Force’s Project Blue Book and from civilian UFO groups NICAP and APRO, the Committee selected 56 to analyze in detail f ...

For medium and high speeds the wires are generally tensioned by means of weights, or occasionally by hydraulic tensioners. Either method is known as auto-tensioning (AT), and ensures that the tension in the equipment is virtually independent of temperature. Tensions are typically between 9 and 20 kN per wire. For low speeds and in tunnels where temperatures are constant, fixed termination (FT) equipment may be used, with the wires terminated directly on structures at each end of the overhead line. Here the tension is generally about 10 kN. This type of equipme ...

Thus, there is a healthy tension between the practice and research ends of the field. To some extent this reflects the gap, familiar from other disciplines such as community development, community organisation and community based research, community health and community education, between a desire for accountable - especially quantifiable and outcome-focussed social development, typically practiced by government or supported by foundations, and the more participatory, qualtiatively-rich, process-driven priorities of grass-roots community activists, familiar from theo ...

Beginning 24 June 1948 the first major crisis of the Cold War exposed the rift in the Alliance of World War II which had defeated Germany, when Soviet troops blockaded access points to Berlin, sparking the first Berlin Crisis, and lasting a year. In late summer of 1949, on 29 August the Soviet atomic bomb project was revealed when it exploded a replica of the atomic bomb Fat Man; the Soviet Union had gained some of its nuclear technology by espionage from the United States. Later that fall, on 1 October Maoist forces were victorious after the effective subversion of President Roosevelt’s support for th ...

By the summer of 1963, tension in the Nation of Islam reached boiling point. Malcolm believed that Elijah Muhammad was jealous of his popularity (as were several senior ministers). Malcolm watched the March on Washington critically, unable to understand why black people were excited over a demonstration "run by whites in front of a statue of a president who has been dead for a hundred years and who didn't like us when he was alive." Later in the year, following the John F. Kennedy assassination, Malcolm delivered a speech as he regula ...

The Ramones always had a certain amount of tension, mainly between Joey and Johnny. Johnny never thought Joey was a good singer, and resented the decision to let him take over lead vocals from Dee Dee. The relationship between the two got considerably worse when Johnny "stole" Joey's girlfriend Linda (whom he later married); they didn't speak to each other for years afterwards. The pair also did not see eye to eye politically, Joey being a left-wing liberal and Johnny a Nixon, Reagan, and Bush-voting conservative. Johnny fought with Dee Dee ...
