 have certain classic signs. One of them is a regular recounting of instances where you made a mistake and they were kind enough to forgive you. It’s supposed to ‘keep you in line’ by reminding you of how good they’ve been to you.
They may do it with a cheery smile and a perfectly pleasant manner like it is a harmless walk down the memory lane. Except, they’ll take you from one incident to another, all of them aimed at puncturing your self-confidence.
In the midst of a conflict, they will harp onto past mistakes to bolster their arguments.
A person that you share a relationship with is different from rest of the world because they are supposed to love and care about you. Hence, the relationship!
Their love is not or should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should not come with conditions attached. Emotionally abusive people are comfortable with withholding love and affection to get you to toe the line. They manipulate you into doing things by showering you with approval and support when they are getting their way.
All of that is taken away if you make a choice different from their own. This abrupt change will leave you feeling winded and confused, and you’ll find yourself giving in without even knowing why.
Such people are not above enlisting other’s people support against you. They deliberately involve other people in essentially personal arguments in order to unsettle and embarrass.
It’s done with a cheerful disposition and in the most natural way. Abusers make it look they are sharing their feelings with others, but they do it by sharing only the bits and pieces that will win them sympathy and support.
When they have other people in their corner, they try to ambush you. It is done to make you realize how lacking in solid support you are. It is both a punishment and a brutal persuasion.
It takes nothing to be considerate of someone’s feelings. To me, it has always seemed like the most natural thing to do. Nobody should have to tell you to be sensitive to others, we should all have enough kindness in us to do it without having to be pushed into it.
Yet, people are so cavalier with other people’s feelings that it always leaves me surprised. In a relationship, we often make excuses for the other person.
If you find your relationship lacking in consideration, you should examine the rest of it carefully. Emotionally abusive people don’t have much regard for the emotional well-being of others which makes them careless of their feelings.
Once is a mistake but if they repeat a type of behavior, it is because they don’t see anything wrong with it. This should be a red flag.
Relationships are a beautiful part of our lives. They are the source of all the love and laughter we have which is why it is always so difficult to believe when a relationship turns toxic.
Confronting a loved one as a possible enemy can ravage our emotions, but it has to be done. If an emotionally abusive person is allowed prolonged access to your life, they will take all they can and leave you nothing more than a wretched shadow of your former self.
Every relationship should have certain elements.
Your feelings should never be invalidated. There should be no manipulation of any kind. Love should be given freely without any conditions attached.
You should be able to rely on your loved ones to be there for you in whatever way they can manage. No relationship should ever inspire fear and insecurity.
It should be solid enough for you to rely on, and soft enough to give you comfort. Anything less, and it’s just not good enough.
Emotional abuse has been known to cause severe depression, anxiety, and physiological distress. People have been driven to substance abuse and self-harm. It can go so far as to push you to the limits of your sanity and then tip you over the edge!
So, learn to understand and identify the signs of abuse in your relationship. If you notice things that make you feel threatened, get out as quickly as possible.
Thanks Aki. I am glad you found it useful.Well.. this isn't the case 99% of the time. We have special work laws that actually protect workers from what they call [Wrongful Termination.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrongful_dismissal#/search) 

Yes, some employers do have disciplinary action for wearing the wrong apparel, but they're typically done in a warning process and usually you have three chances (at least in my experience where uniform is required; such as retail). They have verbal warnings for a first offense, written warning for a second, then a sit down with your supervisor or something as a third, then fourth is termination.  

If it's something serious like stealing, that's obviously a termination on the spot most anywhere you go. I haven't heard of place who didn't instantaneously terminate for that. 

Getting fired for 'no reason' is unheard of (at least to me, and I've held many different jobs). Even in small, what we call ''mom and pop" stores (not large corporate chains like Wal Mart), it's extremely unlikely as an employee could defer to Unlawful Termination and/or Discrimination laws. I forgot to post this, but since some of you might find this useful is an free online version of a game design class I took for actual credit (and paid tuition for) last quarter, http://gamedesignconcepts.wordpress.com/2009/06/29/level-1-overview-what-is-a-game/. Its to late to sign up to try "take" the class but the lessons are still all up, and you could easily go through this by yourself and there were some really neat bits. If anyone wants, since the instructor for this class is the staff member for the gaming club I attend once a week I could ask if this will be offered again gratis at some point.
It's new to me, but it looks rather interesting. I might look into it later if I get a chance.
Some parts are better than others, and the parts about fun tend to be more lengthy/wordy than need but a number of parts are very useful, such as the parts about paper prototyping and playtesting imo.Tuscany is not just well-known for its blue sea and its variety of flora and fauna, but also for its cities, which are famous all around the world for their outstanding beauty.
One such city is Pisa, which is just 10 km from Tirrenia and which everyone knows for its famous leaning tower, which is situated in the beautiful Piazza dei Miracoli.Prototypic Simulation Platform for Structural Health Monitoring Ultrasonic Transducer Networks

Improved structural integrity of engineering structures is key whe n it comes to the application of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) within Damage Tolerant Design (DTD) and resulting Non-destructive Testing (NDT) methods. Since a SHM system is based on a limited number of transducers which cannot be mov ed anymore once having been decided, determination of the optimum transducer pattern is an important matter that has to be decided in advance. This optimum can onl y be determined effectively through simulation. For that reason a platform is under development that allows an optimum transducer pattern to be determined by simulation beforehand. This starts from making a solid state CAD m odel available and transferring this into an FE model along which stresses and strains can be determined and a fatigue life estimation can be made. This is then followed by a NDT simulation which in the case of SHM and shown here includes the simulation o f guided acoustic (Lamb) waves. Such simulations have been performed for different damage tolerance criteria on structural components of different complexity. Besides classical FE this is done on the basis of bridging both the DTD and NDT sim ulations in a single simulation package that can aid better understanding of the var ious physical processes involved with respect to an SHM context. The numerical simulation in such a package involves Ray Tracing combined with Spectral Finite Element Metho ds (RT-SFEM) which is a novel approach towards NDT based simulation. The p aper to be presented will show how damage tolerant designed structures can be sim ulated in that regard. The simulation tools to be used will be commercial or close to commercialization which are currently made explored through a simulation platfor m developed under the Indo-German INDEUS project. First simulations being presented are verified with experimentsFoot traffic data from market research firm Placer.ai suggests that Walmart may be getting ready to reveal some good fourth quarter financial results.
At Walmart supercenters, Placer.ai maintained, monthly foot traffic in November, December and January was significantly higher than that in the same months during the two years prior. Overall visit growth was 3% in 2019/20 compared to the same three-month period in 2018/19.
Compared to an established baseline for the period from January 2017 through January 2020, visits in November and December 2019 were 8.9% and 22% above the average respectively, with January 2020 visits coming in 6% below. In the previous year, visits were 4.3% and 21.3% above for November and December 2018, and 10.1% below in January 2019.
Sam’s Club had a pretty good run as well in the time period, the company indicated. Although year-over-year traffic slipped slightly in December 2019, Sam’s Club had strong November 2019 and January 2020 store visit gains. November 2019 saw visits up 8.8% above the baseline, besting 2018’s mark of 0.4% below, while January 2020 visits were 4.8% below the baseline, better than the previous year’s 9.5% below
