	Tension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, tension is a force related to the stretching of a string or a similar object.
		The word 'tension' is also sometimes used to refer to electrical voltage; this is the usage in the term high-tension line.
		In music tension is the perceived need for relaxation or release (Sturm und Drang) created by a listener's expectations as well as dissonance, repetition, tempo, a gradual rise in pitch, and other factors.

	Surface tension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics, surface tension is an effect within the surface layer of a liquid that causes the layer to behave as an elastic sheet.
		Surface tension is caused by the attraction between the molecules of the liquid, due to various intermolecular forces.
		A related quantity is the energy of cohesion, which is the energy released when two bodies of the same liquid become joined by a boundary of unit area.

	Tension headaches - also known as chronic daily headache
		It is not uncommon for tension headaches and migraine (another type of headache described in a separate factsheet) to occur in the same individual, often with the migraine attack subsiding and evolving into a tension headache.
		Tension headaches are undoubtedly more common in people suffering from anxiety and depression and effective treatment of these conditions may result in improvement of the headache.
		As tension headaches can last for a long time, this often arouses the suspicion in the sufferer and his or her doctor that a brain tumour could be the cause of symptoms.

	HOW TO TENSION YOUR SEWING MACHINE CORRECTLY BY ALEX ASKAROFF THE SUSSEX SEWING MACHINE WAY FAULTS AND PROBLEMS WITH ...
		The lighter the pressure on the dial the lighter the upper tension is in the fabric.
		If you are having tension trouble and are using a large reel of thread, wind the thread onto a bobbin and place the bobbin on top of the machine and use it like a small reel of thread.
		Once you are right with the lower tension you can go back to the top tension unit again and make final adjustments, say from a four to a five, or a four to a three, to get it just perfect.

	Surface tension, or interfacial tension (, )
		The tension acting in the surface of tension is called the surface tension or interfacial tension and is expressed in terms of force per unit length.
		In particular, surface tension is the intensive factor in the differential expression for the work required to increase the area of the surface of tension.
		The surface tension may, therefore, also be expressed in terms of energy per unit area: it is not, however, in general equal either to the surface energy or to the surface Helmholtz energy per unit area (see §1.2.6).

	Headache - Tension - womenshealthchannel
		The name "tension headache" therefore can be said to describe a response by the body to emotional strains and pressures, rather than to excessive muscular tightness and resultant constriction of the scalp arteries, as was once widely presumed.
		The typical tension headache is one that produces a dull, steady, achy pain on both sides of the head.
		Many tension headache sufferers describe their pain as producing a sensation of pressure or tightness around the head, as though a band were pulled tightly around it; others compare the feeling to having their head clamped in an ever-tightening vise.

		The rubber bands are all in tension and paradoxically have the dual roles of holding the beams apart, and the structure together, in a flexible and stable equilibrium.
		None of the beams or tension members are parallel, or perpindicular.
		The rubber bands form two triangular faces, and they lie on parallel planes and give the structure a twisted appearance because the triangles differ by a rotation relative an axis perpendicular to the planes and the beams all have the same tilt, relative to that same axis.

		Once the tension gauge is sufficiently full, the unit will be able to use the skills on its tension list -- in other words, certain skills and spells the unit mastered while it was another class (and, yes, even another class family).
		When a tension skill is used, the unit's tension level will drop by half the amount of tension required to use that skill.
		Though the game will only show the tension gauge going up to 100%, it can in fact go past this, and in the rare case that it reaches or exceeds 120%, the unit will go into a tension breaker and be able to use a tension skill without waiting for its next turn.
