Perfectionists and people-pleasers put in enormous amounts of time and energy trying to be the best, the brightest, and the nicest. They twist themselves in knots trying to be what they think they should be in order to get approval or avoid rejection from others. But at what cost? In Shattering the Porcelain, Dr. Carly LeBaron explores what perfectionism and people-pleasing are, how they negatively impact your life, and how to break free from those perfectly pleasing patterns to embrace who you truly are. In this book you'll learn: -How perfectionism and people-pleasing negatively impact your mental, emotional, and relational health. -Where your perfectionism and people pleasing originated and how to use that knowledge to guide your journey to becoming the real you. -The type of perfectionist and/or people-pleaser you are and how that influences your life experiences. -Practical tips, tricks, and techniques to use in changing the way you think, how you feel, and what you do that keeps you stuck. -How to shatter your perfectionism and people-pleasing and start embracing authenticity.

Inspired by a new revival of worldwide interest in extra-high-voltage (EHV) and ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission, High Voltage Engineering merges the latest research with the extensive experience of the best in the field to deliver a comprehensive treatment of electrical insulation systems for the next generation of utility engineers and electric power professionals. The book offers extensive coverage of the physical basis of high-voltage engineering, from insulation stress and strength to lightning attachment and protection and beyond. Presenting information critical to the design, selection, testing, maintenance, and operation of a myriad of high-voltage power equipment, this must-have text: Discusses power system overvoltages, electric field calculation, and statistical analysis of ionization and breakdown phenomena essential for proper planning and interpretation of high-voltage tests Considers the breakdown of gases (SF6), liquids (insulating oil), solids, and composite materials, as well as the breakdown characteristics of long air gaps Describes insulation systems currently used in high-voltage engineering, including air insulation and insulators in overhead power transmission lines, gas-insulated substation (GIS) and cables, oil-paper insulation in power transformers, paper-oil insulation in high-voltage cables, and polymer insulation in cables Examines contemporary practices in insulation coordination in association with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) definition and the latest standards Explores high-voltage testing and measuring techniques, from generation of test voltages to digital measuring methods With an emphasis on handling practical situations encountered in the operation of high-voltage power equipment, High Voltage Engineering provides readers with a detailed, real-world understanding of electrical insulation systems, including the various factors affecting—and the actual means of evaluating—insulation performance and their application in the establishment of technical specifications.
