Efficient coarse graining in multiscale modeling of fracturePattabhi R. Budarapu | Robert Gracie | Shih Wei Yang | Xiaoying Zhuang | Timon Rabczuk
Volume 69, Issue , February 2014, Pages 126-143
We propose a coarse-graining technique to reduce a given atomistic model into an equivalent coarse grained continuum model. The developed technique is tailored for problems involving complex crack patterns in 2D and 3D including crack branching and coalescence. Atoms on the crack surface are separated from the atoms not on the crack surface by employing the centro symmetry parameter. A rectangular grid is superimposed on the atomistic model. Atoms on the crack surface in each cell are used to estimate the equivalent coarse-scale crack surface of that particular cell. The crack path in the coarse model is produced by joining the approximated crack paths in each cell. The developed technique serves as a sound basis to study the crack propagation in multiscale methods for fracture. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Phase-field modeling of fracture in linear thin shellsF. Amiri | D. Millán | Y. Shen | T. Rabczuk | M. Arroyo
Volume 69, Issue , February 2014, Pages 102-109
We present a phase-field model for fracture in Kirchoff-Love thin shells using the local maximum-entropy (LME) meshfree method. Since the crack is a natural outcome of the analysis it does not require an explicit representation and tracking, which is advantage over techniques as the extended finite element method that requires tracking of the crack paths. The geometric description of the shell is based on statistical learning techniques that allow dealing with general point set surfaces avoiding a global parametrization, which can be applied to tackle surfaces of complex geometry and topology. We show the flexibility and robustness of the present methodology for two examples: plate in tension and a set of open connected pipes. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Three dimensional finite element mixed fracture mode under anti-plane loading of a crackAndrei Kotousov | Filippo Berto | Paolo Lazzarin | Fabio Pegorin
Volume 62, Issue 1, December 2012, Pages 26-33
The 3D Finite Element method is applied to mixed fracture under anti-plane loading of a straight through-the-thickness crack in a linear elastic plate. This coupled fracture mode represents one of three-dimensional phenomena, which are currently largely ignored in numerical simulations and failure assessment of structural components weakened by cracks. It arises due to the boundary conditions on the plate free surfaces, which negate the transverse shear stress components corresponding to classical mode III. Instead, a new singular stress state in addition to the well-known 3D corner singularity is generated. This singular stress state (or coupled fracture mode) can affect or contribute significantly to the fracture initiation conditions. The coupled singular mode exists even if the applied anti-plane loading produces no singularities (KIII=0). In this case there is a strong thickness effect on the intensity of the coupled fracture mode. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
A comparison among some recent energy- and stress-based criteria for the fracture assessment of sharp V-notched components under mode I loadingP. Lazzarin | A. Campagnolo | F. Berto
Volume 71, Issue , January 2014, Pages 21-30
Fracture assessment of components weakened by sharp V-notches is typically carried out by means of the Notch Stress Intensity Factors (NSIFs), which quantify the asymptotic linear elastic stress field in the vicinity of the notch tip. Since units of the NSIFs do depend on the V-notch opening angle, a direct comparison in terms of the NSIFs needs the constancy of the opening angle. A criterion based on the strain energy density (SED) averaged over a material-dependent control volume surrounding the notch tip has been proposed by the authors. When the control volume is small enough to make negligible the influence of higher order terms of Williams' solution, the SED can be theoretically linked to the NSIFs.Considering Mode I loading conditions, the expression of the critical Mode I NSIF at failure as a function of the V-notch opening angle as derived according to the averaged SED criterion is compared with those given by two different versions of the Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM) criterion, the former due to Leguillon, the latter due to Carpinteri et alii.Finally, the considered criteria are applied to components weakened by sharp V-notches under Mode I loading conditions in order to investigate the predictive capability of each approach. A number of experimental data taken from the literature are used for comparison. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
Finite strain fracture of 2D problems with injected anisotropic softening elementsP. Areias | T. Rabczuk | P. P. Camanho
Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 50-63
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd.In the context of plane fracture problems, we introduce an algorithm based on our previously proposed rotation of edges but now including the injection of continuum softening elements directly in the process region. This is an extension of the classical smeared (or regularized) approach to fracture and can be seen as an intermediate proposition between purely cohesive formulations and the smeared modeling. Characteristic lengths in softening are explicitly included as width of injected elements. For materials with process regions with macroscopic width, the proposed method is less cumbersome than the cohesive zone model. This approach is combined with smoothing of the complementarity condition of the constitutive law and the consistent updated Lagrangian method recently proposed, which simplifies the internal variable transfer. Propagation-wise, we use edge rotation around crack front nodes in surface discretizations and each rotated edge is duplicated. Modified edge positions correspond to the crack path (predicted with the Ma-Sutton method). Regularized continuum softening elements are then introduced in the purposively widened gap. The proposed solution has algorithmic and generality benefits with respect to enrichment techniques such as XFEM. The propagation algorithm is simpler and the approach is independent of the underlying element used for discretization. To illustrate the advantages of our approach, yield functions providing particular cohesive behavior are used in testing. Traditional fracture benchmarks and newly proposed verification tests are solved. Results are found to be good in terms of load/deflection behavior.
Dynamic response of a reinforced concrete slab subjected to air blast loadY. S. Tai | T. L. Chu | H. T. Hu | J. Y. Wu
Volume 56, Issue 3, December 2011, Pages 140-147
Reinforced concrete is the principal material for military engineering and nuclear power plant containment. However, impacts and explosions could completely destroy such structures, causing tremendous casualties and property loss. Hence, this study conducts an analysis on the propagation law of a blast pressure wave and the dynamic response of reinforced concrete structures under explosive pressure wave effects. This study uses proper state material parameters and equations and then applies the nonlinear finite element analysis software LS-DYNA to conduct a numerical simulation of a free-field explosion model. After comparison with the computed results from empirical equations and validating the reliability of the numerical analysis model, the destruction and influencing factors on reinforced concrete slabs, under the effects of a blast pressure wave, are investigated. The results can serve as a reference for future analysis and design. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
A meshless sub-region radial point interpolation method for accurate calculation of crack tip fieldsXiaoying Zhuang | Yongchang Cai | Charles Augarde
Volume 69, Issue , February 2014, Pages 118-125
A new meshless sub-region radial point interpolation method (MS-RPIM) is proposed for linear elastic fracture mechanics. The Williams expansions of stress field for mode I/II crack is used as the trial functions in crack tip region, the meshless radial point interpolation is used for the rest of domain, and a mixed variational principle is used for discretisation. In contrast to existing meshless formulations, the present MS-RPIM requires only very few nodes around the crack tip to obtain smooth stress and accurate results and the SIFs can be directly obtained as part of the solution and no additional effort via post-processing. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Molecular dynamics simulation of stress distribution and microstructure evolution ahead of a growing crack in single crystal nickelWen Ping Wu | Zong Zhuan Yao
Volume 62, Issue 1, December 2012, Pages 67-75
The microstructure evolution and stress distribution characteristics of a pre-cracked single crystal nickel at different temperatures are studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The simulation results indicate that the crack propagation process and stress distribution characteristics are closely related to the change of temperature inducing the microstructure evolution ahead of a growing crack in single crystal nickel. At 0. K, the crack propagates rapidly without inducing microstructure evolution, the stress concentration is always at the crack tip of a growing crack throughout the crack propagation process. The crack propagation becomes slow and accompanies with microstructure evolution at elevated temperature, firstly crack tip blunting occurs at a certain distance ahead of crack tip due to the dislocation emission, then void nucleation and growth as well as the generation of slip bands. The microstructure evolution ahead of crack tip induces the change of stress distribution, the high stress value occurs at the site of the microstructure evolution (dislocation emission, void nucleation and the generation of slip bands), and a rather large plastic deformation range ahead of crack tip is necessary for the generation of slip bands. The failure process of single crystal nickel show the different crack propagation dynamics and plastic behavior, which are linked to the void nucleation and generation of slip bands ahead of the crack tip at elevated temperature. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Notch stress intensity factors of flat plates with periodic sharp notches by using the strain energy densityP. Lazzarin | R. Afshar | F. Berto
Volume 60, Issue 1, August 2012, Pages 38-50
Notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) of a number of flat plates with periodic sharp V-notches under a remote applied normal stress are calculated. The main objective of this study is to take advantage of the local strain energy density (SED) averaged on a control volume surrounding the tip of the middle notch and estimate the NSIF of each component by using a relatively coarse mesh. The unique advantage of the SED method is the most prominent application of such a technique in the current study. A wide range of notch opening angles, relative distance between periodic notches and relative depth of the notch for different number of notches of flat plate are examined. All in all, more than 300 models have been investigated. A new model of depth reduction factor for different ratios of relative depth of the notch is proposed to match the results from SED approach. In the case of shallow notches, the results of this study are compared with those provided by other researchers in the recent literature. In addition, based on best fit of numerical data from SED approach, some polynomials for non-dimensional NSIF in the case of intermediate and deep notches are presented. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Penetrating behaviors of Zr-based metallic glass composite rods reinforced by tungsten fibersG. Rong | D. W. Huang | M. C. Yang
Volume 58, Issue 1, April 2012, Pages 21-27
Ballistic tests are performed by shooting both tungsten fiber/bulk metallic glass W/Zr 58Ti 13Cu 17Ni 12 composite rods (composite rod) and tungsten heavy alloy rods (95W rod) into 30CrMnMo target. The composite rod exhibits self-sharpening behaviors, and its matrix damages and fibers break are limited in a thin, narrow area, which is defined as " edge layer" Penetrating depth of composite rods is 50% deeper than the depth of 95W rods with same dimension size. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Stress concentration factors of periodic notches determined from the strain energy densityR. Afshar | F. Berto
Volume 56, Issue 3, December 2011, Pages 127-139
Stress concentration factors (SCFs) of a number of flat plates and round bars with periodic U- and V-notches are evaluated. Tension, bending and torsion loadings are considered in the investigation. The main objective of the investigation is to take advantage of the local strain energy density (SED) averaged on a control volume surrounding the tip of the middle notch and to estimate the SCF of each component by using a relatively coarse mesh. The unique advantage of SED method is the most prominent application of such a technique in the current study. Systematic FE simulations by considering a wide range of notch acuity and relative frequency of periodic U- and V-notch components are performed. More than two hundred and fifty models have been examined. The results of this study are compared with those provided by other researchers in the past and recent literature. Two new expressions of the notch depth reduction factor for the case of normal stresses (tension and bending) and torsion are also proposed to match the results from SED approach. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Mode I fracture initiation in limestone by strain energy density criterionM. R. Ayatollahi | Karo Sedighiani
Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 14-18
The critical mode I stress intensity factor obtained from fracture tests on laboratory specimens is often used as fracture toughness in brittle and quasi-brittle materials. However, considerable variations in the experimental results reported for a given material may suggest the dependency of critical mode I stress intensity factor on the geometry and loading conditions of the test specimen. The main purpose of this paper is to study the effect of T-stress on the critical mode I stress intensity factor of brittle and quasi-brittle materials. The minimum strain energy density criterion was revisited to take the effect of T-stress into account. The results obtained were then compared with a series of experimental results reported for limestone. It is shown as a result that the formulation presented in this paper is capable of estimating the experimental results in a satisfactory manner. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Inference in the generalized exponential distribution under partially accelerated tests with progressive Type-II censoringAli A. Ismail
Volume 59, Issue 1, June 2012, Pages 49-56
Accelerated life testing (ALT) or partially accelerated life testing (PALT) is frequently used in modern reliability engineering. This paper considers the statistical inference on the generalized exponential distribution parameters in presence of progressive Type-II censoring with random removals under PALT, where the number of units removed at each failure time has a binomial distribution. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the unknown parameters in the case of step-stress partially accelerated life tests. The performance of the estimators is investigated numerically for different parameter values and sample sizes. Also, the approximate confidence bounds of the model parameters are obtained. Finally, a simulation study is made for illustrative purposes. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Macro and microscopical approach to the damaging micromechanisms analysis in a ferritic ductile cast ironVittorio Di Cocco | Francesco Iacoviello | Alessandra Rossi | Daniela Iacoviello
Volume 69, Issue , February 2014, Pages 26-33
The influence of the graphite nodules morphology (shape, dimension and distribution) on ductile cast irons (DCIs) mechanical properties is experimentally confirmed both in static, quasi static and cyclic loading conditions. According to the most recent results, these graphite elements cannot be merely considered as "microvoids embedded in a metal matrix", but their presence implies a modification of the damaging micromechanisms, depending on the metal matrix microstructure. In this work, a fully ferritic DCI has been investigated: tensile tests have been performed on notched mini tensile specimens. Specimens lateral surfaces have been observed by means of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) during the tests ("in situ" tests) at different magnifications. Considering the results obtained at low magnification, quantitative image analysis has been applied in order to investigate the triaxiality evolution during the test. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Damage mechanism and mode of square reinforced concrete slab subjected to blast loadingC. F. Zhao | J. Y. Chen
Volume 63-64, Issue , February 2013, Pages 54-62
Reinforcement concrete is the principle material for military engineering and nuclear power plant. However, impact and explosions could completely destroy such structures, causing tremendous casualties and property loss. Therefore, analyzing the damage mechanism and mode of the structures under blast loading is significant. The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamics response and damage mechanism of three 1000. mm. ×. 1000. mm. ×. 400. mm reinforcement concrete slabs subjected to 400. mm standoff distance close-in explosions using LS-DYNA software and compare with experimental tests. A three-dimensional material model including explosive, air and reinforcement concrete slab with separated modeling method taking into account Arbitrary Lagrange-Euler, multiple materials algorithms and fluid-structure coupling interaction, is created to simulate the experiments. The sophisticated concrete and reinforcement bar material models, considering the strain rate effects, dynamic increasing factor and equation of state for concrete, are applied in simulating the damage mechanism and dynamic response. From the numerical results and comparison of the experimental data, it can be seen that the numerical results and experimental data shows a favorable agreement and the present model can still give a reliable prediction of the damage characteristic for the reinforcement concrete slabs. It also observed that the increase of the amount of the explosive can change the failure mode of the slab. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Zonal disintegration mechanism of cross-anisotropic rock masses around a deep circular tunnelX. P. Zhou | G. Chen | Q. H. Qian
Volume 57, Issue 1, February 2012, Pages 49-54
The zonal disintegration phenomenon is investigated for cross-anisotropic rock around a deep circular tunnel under hydrostatic pressure condition as well as the total elastic stress-field distributions. The number and size of fractured and non-fractured zones is determined by using the Mohr-Coulomb criterion. Effects of cross-anisotropic elastic parameters of deep rock mass on the zonal disintegration phenomenon are investigated. Numerical computations are carried out. It is shown from numerical results that the number and size of fractured and non-fractured zones significantly depend on to cross-anisotropic elastic parameters of deep rock mass. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
A synthesis of data from steel spot welded joints of reduced thickness by means of local SEDP. Lazzarin | F. Berto | B. Atzori
Volume 63-64, Issue , February 2013, Pages 32-39
In some previous works two fatigue scatterbands were given in terms of the local strain energy density (SED) for welded joints made of structural steel and aluminium alloy. The material-dependent radius R0 of the control volume was identified with reference to conventional arc welding processes. It resulted equal to 0.28mm for welded joints made of structural steel tested under prevailing mode I, with fatigue failures both at the weld root and the weld toe. The scatterband did not include data from thin welded joints, the main plate thickness being greater than 6mm. The SED approach is used here to summarise more than 400 fatigue data from steel spot welds in lap-shear joints, coach-peel specimens and cross-tension specimens of small thickness. Due to the typical crack initiation and propagation phases, an appropriate choice to summarise the data in a narrow scatterband seems to be the use of a toroidal control volume. The volume circumferentially encapsulates the slit tip along the weld spot nugget. The SED value at 2 million cycles is found to match that of the previous scatterband for welded joints of higher thicknesses. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Damage mechanism and response of reinforced concrete containment structure under internal blast loadingC. F. Zhao | J. Y. Chen | Y. Wang | S. J. Lu
Volume 61, Issue 1, October 2012, Pages 12-20
Reinforced concrete containment (RC) is the most significant component of the nuclear power plant. It may lead to serious disaster owning to the leakage of radioactive materials as the reasons of internal explosion of reinforced concrete containment caused by earthquakes, fires, gas explosions or terrorist attacks, etc.The objective of this paper is to investigate the behavior of reinforced concrete containment, numerical simulation taking into account fluid-solid coupling interaction is conducted for the analysis on the dynamic responses of reinforced concrete containment under internal blast loading using LS-DYNA software, especially focusing on its damage mechanism.The generation and the propagation of blast wave and its effect on a containment structure are discussed using Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) algorithm and multiple material models. The analysis results of the containment have been compared by empirical equations. Parametric studies have also been performed for internal detonation under different scale distances at a standoff distance of 20. m in the RC containment. The results indicate that the influences of scale distances and mesh qualities of structure on dynamic response and damage mechanism of the structure are analyzed to assess the structural anti-explosion capability. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Three dimensional fragmentation simulation of concrete structures with a nodally regularized meshfree methodYoucai Wu | Dongdong Wang | Cheng Tang Wu
Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 89-99
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd.A three dimensional large deformation meshfree simulation of concrete fragmentation is presented by using a nodally regularized Galerkin meshfree method. This nodally regularized meshfree method is established with the two-level Lagrangian nodal gradient smoothing technique to relieve the material instability in failure modeling. The rate formulation is employed for the treatment of large deformation and therefore the two-level gradient smoothing is performed for the rate of deformation tensor and the deformation gradient. The essential characteristic of the present approach is that all the variables are conveniently computed at the meshfree nodes, which allows an efficient evaluation of the Galerkin weak form. The concrete failure is described by the KCC concrete model with three independent strength surfaces. This model has a pressure dependent evolving failure surface that is built with an internal damage variable. The computational implementation of the given concrete model within the context of meshfree formulation is discussed in detail. The effectiveness of the present method is demonstrated through several numerical examples of concrete structures.
Thermal fracture of a functionally graded/homogeneous bimaterial with system of cracksVera Petrova | Siegfried Schmauder
Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 148-157
The thermal fracture of a bimaterial consisting of a homogeneous material and a functionally graded material (FGM) with a system of internal cracks and an interface crack is investigated. The bimaterial is subjected to a heat flux. The thermal properties of FGM are assumed to be continues functions of the thickness coordinate, while the elastic properties are constants. The method of the solution is based on the singular integral equations. For a special case where the interface crack is much larger than the internal cracks in the FGM the asymptotic analytical solution of the problem is obtained as series in a small parameter (the ratio between sizes of the internal and interface crack) and the thermal stress intensity factors (TSIFs) are derived as functions of geometry of the problem and material characteristics. A parametric analysis of the effects of the location and orientation of the cracks and of the inhomogeneity parameter of FGM's thermal conductivity on the TSIFs is performed. The results are applicable to such kinds FGMs as ceramic/ceramic FGMs, e.g., TiC/SiC, MoSi2/Al2O3 and MoSi2/SiC, and also some ceramic/metal FGMs. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Rock fracture toughness study using cracked chevron notched Brazilian disc specimen under pure modes I and II loading - A statistical approachM. R M Aliha | M. R. Ayatollahi
Volume 69, Issue , February 2014, Pages 17-25
Fracture toughness of a white marble is studied experimentally using several cracked chevron notched Brazilian disc (CCNBD) specimens under pure mode I and pure mode II loading. Even in the presence of natural scatters in the test data, it was observed that the average mode II fracture toughness KIIc was considerably larger than that of mode I fracture toughness KIc such that the mean fracture toughness ratio (KIIc/KIc) was about 2. Using the generalized maximum tangential stress theory, the obtained mode II test results were estimated in terms of mode I fracture toughness data. The enhanced KIIc value in the CCNBD specimen could be related to the influence of very large negative T-stress value that exists in the mode II CCNBD specimens. The statistical analyses of test data were performed successfully to predict the Weibull parameters of mode II results in terms of mode I Weibull parameters. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
A multi-shell cover algorithm for contact detection in the three dimensional discontinuous deformation analysisWei Wu | Hehua Zhu | Xiaoying Zhuang | Guowei Ma | Yongchang Cai
Volume 72, Issue 1, January 2014, Pages 136-149
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd.In three dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis (3D DDA), the contact detection between blocks is the most expensive part in terms of the total computational cost. The detection normally comprises two stages, namely the search of neighboring blocks and the identification of contact modes. The first stage aims to find out all possible neighboring blocks and the second is to identify the exact contact modes between of neighboring blocks from their vertices, edges and faces. In this paper, an efficient and robust spatial contact detection algorithm is presented linking the above mentioned two stages using a novel multi-shell cover (MSC) system and decomposition of geometrical sub-units. The present MSC method greatly reduces the contact detection volume and iterations. This paper also provides a unified formula of vertex to face and edge to edge contacts. The proposed method is implemented in a 3D DDA computer program. Numerical examples are tested and the results show improved computational efficiency comparing with existing methods.
Lifetime estimation in the low/medium-cycle regime using the Carpinteri-Spagnoli multiaxial fatigue criterionAndrea Carpinteri | Camilla Ronchei | Andrea Spagnoli | Sabrina Vantadori
Volume 73, Issue , January 2014, Pages 120-127
© 2014 Elsevier Ltd.A critical plane-based high-cycle multiaxial fatigue criterion, known as the Carpinteri-Spagnoli (C-S) criterion, is here extended to evaluate the fatigue lifetime of plain metallic components under constant amplitude loading in the low/medium-cycle regime. This extended criterion, based on strain components, resolves the strain tensor into the normal and shear components acting on the critical plane, which is determined on the basis of the principal strain courses over the loading cycle. An equivalent normal strain amplitude, computed through a quadratic combinations of strain components in the critical plane, is taken as the fatigue damage parameter. The required input parameters of the criterion are obtained from the classical Manson-Coffin-Basquin law for axial loading. A validation by experimental data pertaining the biaxial fatigue of plain steel specimens under both proportional and non-proportional loadings is performed.
Fatigue damage and sensor development for aircraft structural health monitoringS. R. Ignatovich | A. Menou | M. V. Karuskevich | P. O. Maruschak
Volume 65, Issue , June 2013, Pages 23-27
It was shown by tests conducted at the National Aviation University (Kiev, Ukraine) that fatigue damage of metal structures may be estimated by sensors with the surface relief pattern to indicate the accumulated fatigue damage. The nature of the deformation relief has been investigated by the light, scan and transmission microscopy, as well as by a new nano-interferometer, developed at the National Aviation University. Fractal analysis of the surface patterns based on box-counting method has proved the efficiency of fractal geometry application for additional quantitative description of such surface structures. The evolution of deformation relief parameters on the sensors surface is determined by the process of the sensor and construction fatigue damage accumulation. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Low-cycle fatigue behaviour of 34CrNiMo6 high strength steelR. Branco | J. D. Costa | F. V. Antunes
Volume 58, Issue 1, April 2012, Pages 28-34
In this article, low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behaviour of 34CrNiMo6 high strength steel was investigated systematically under fully-reversed strain-controlled conditions at room temperature. Tests were conducted in strain control (R ε= -1) with strain amplitudes in the range of ε a= 0.4-2.0%. The single step test method (SST) was used to obtain the cyclic stress-strain response curve. The analysis of LCF data highlighted a gradual strain-softening behaviour until failure. Furthermore, the shape of the hysteresis loops exhibited a very satisfactory Masing-type behaviour. Complementary, the fatigue mechanisms were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination of fracture surfaces. SEM examinations revealed an initiation site dominated by cleavage-like facets at low strain amplitudes and dominated by mixed cleavage-like facets and ductile dimples at high strain amplitudes. Besides, fracture surfaces caused by propagation of several cracks nucleated at the periphery of specimen were found. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Websites York - Beautiful web design and effective optimisation
I am Martin Waring. I am a Web Designer based in York, UK and wherever you live I am committed to offering affordable web design and optimisation, making your new website both interesting for your customers to read and easier for them to find in Google searches!
Most businesses today need a website to stay competitive, to find customers and for their customers to find them. Most new customers will find your website through an online search and foremost amongst the searches used today is Google so your website needs to be designed from the start, not just to appeal to your customers but also to be Google friendly.
Many small businesses invest a lot of time and energy in their website design but then find that the website disappears without trace in a Google search. A website takes planning and a good awareness of what keyword searches your customers might use to find you. A website also needs nurturing. You don't just get to the top of Google in a few days, and then stay there.
The Sweet Spot
When you do a Google search yourself, think about where you click first. Research shows that 70% of people ignore the paid adverts at the top and right of a Google search page and look to the first ordinary website listed and the next 2 or 3 listings. This is the sweet spot that I aim for in my website development and optimisation process.
What I offer
If you run a small local business (by which I mean that your customers are generally to be found in your town/city and surrounding area) and you need a simple website to attract more customers or clients, I can help you with:
- Planning the website - identifying what keywords your customers will use to find you. This is usually the most important stage and one that is often neglected. What are your customers looking for and what searches do you hope they will use to find you?
- Photography and videography using professional grade equipment. (I am also a videographer.)
- Website design and build, optimised for most current desktop browsers, including mobile tablets and phones. It is increasingly important that your site looks good on a mobile device.
- Google Places set up and optimisation. If you are a business offering local services and you want to be found on Google then signing up for Google Places is a must and it is free. I can help you set this up in the most effective way.
- Google optimisation of your website for small local businesses (this is usually referred to as SEO). I will focus mainly on Google. I'm not saying that I will ignore other searches entirely. Its just that if you get things right for Google then the other searches will fall into place naturally.
- Regular monitoring of where your site appears in the Google rankings
- Periodic (small scale) changes to the site are included in the price for the first 12 months so if you want to add testimonials or new pictures or videos - no problem.
What I don't offer
- 'Under the radar' techniques that might have short term gains but can potentially ruin your website's credibility ultimately
- Large scale e-commerce, national or highly dynamic sites
- Impossible guarantees. The sweet spot is a target to aim for for a given keyword. Sometimes it is not easy to achieve a sweet spot ranking due to the level of competition and no matter how much money is thrown into optimisation it will be difficult to outrank some of the big players. One of the first things I will do in the planning stage is assess what are the realistic chances of hitting the sweet spot for any given keyword combination.
- I also won't guarantee how long it will take to get your site up the rankings. It can take months as rankings can improve with the age of the site (as long as the content is kept fresh).
- Flash. There are some wonderful looking, highly animated Flash sites on the web where a lot of the content is invisible to a search robot and so is useless in a Google search. I build HTML and CSS based sites using Rapidweaver themes that are both human and Google search robot friendly.
The Proof
Try this simple quick exercise:
Type "magician York" into Google (you can use cut and paste from here) and see where 'www.martinwaring.co.uk' magician appears.
Type "wedding videography York" into Google and see where my videography business appears 'www.weddingvideographyyork.co.uk'.
Of course, this works in other cities too!
Type "psychotherapist Liverpool" and see where 'www.psychotherapistliverpool.co.uk' appears
OK So they may not always be at number one but you probably shouldn't have too much problem finding any of these sites for these keywords because they are near the top of the first page on Google. Am I right?
You'll see above that for my magician business I have quite a few keywords at number one, and several more at number two or three. Remember that 70% of all searches result in a click through to numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the rankings (the sweet spot). It is easier to get into the sweet spot for 'York' than it is for 'Yorkshire' which you would expect as there's more competition in the whole of Yorkshire.
The way that I got to that position in York was by:
- Building a well optimised website with plenty of easily readable, well structured text content.
- Adding my business to Google Places (now Google My Business) with careful regard to the details added
- Using video to enhance the site.
What do I need to do?
Text content
To succeed in the Google rankings, i.e. to get into the top 3 for your chosen keywords, the website is going to need lots of interesting, well written, easily understandable text. You need to think about what that might look like and commit to working with me to develop it. If your written English skills are not brilliant, I can work with what you produce and work it into a better format for you but you are going to have to do most of the brain work in producing this text.
I cannot simply copy text from another website, well I could, but trust me, this is not a good strategy!
The text needs to be easily readable, so do not use unnecessary jargon. Write as if you were explaining what you do to a brand new customer, not to a colleague. Use a readability test like this one to get your text as readable as possible.
Writing the text does not need to be done in one go. We can launch a good looking website and then develop different pages over several months. This is possibly an even better way to approach the website as Google likes fresh content, delivered periodically as it shows that you've something new to say.
Prepare to be found
I have found some people who are reluctant, for whatever reason, to give out personal details on the web such as address or phone number. This can be quite a negative factor in ranking as Google is looking for consistency in NAP data (Name, Address and Phone Number) across many places on the web. If the NAP data is consistent then Google is happier that you are a legitimate business that has nothing to hide. If not and you are not showing Name, Address and Phone number consistently, or at all, then Google may think that your business is somewhat less trustworthy and rank the website accordingly.

Using 2.0b and the Java API 1.1 preview, there appears to be a bug when doing a query with a key that has internal whitespace:
INFO CouchbaseClient - lookin for:/default/_design/accounts/_view/acc_by_username?limit=1000&skip=0&key="aaron davidson"
ERROR java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to access the view
at com.couchbase.client.CouchbaseClient.query(CouchbaseClient.java:591)
If I manually replace the query string "aaron davidson" with "aaron%20davidson" the query works and no exception is thrown. The API should probably handle this case when constructing the RESTful URL.

MIDDLEBURY — A wayward — and unlucky — squirrel caused a widespread Sunday morning power outage in Middlebury that lasted more than an hour, a Green Mountain Power spokesperson said.
GMP's Jeremy Baker said 1,652 customers served by the company's downtown Middlebury substation in the Marble Works lost power at 7:42 a.m. on Sunday after the squirrel "made contact" with the top of a bank of transformers and shorted out their fuses.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday unanimously backed spending $150,000 from the town's Land Conservation Trust Fund to buy 38.3 acres on Chipman Hill's southeastern flank.
That approval caps talks between the town and the seller, Co-Operative Insurance Companies, that had progressed in recent months.
ADDISON COUNTY — Homeowners in a half-dozen Addison County towns who would like to take advantage of voter-approved Property-Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) district provisions to help finance energy-efficiency improvements will have to wait a little longer.
But an official of the Vermont Energy Investment Corp. (VEIC), which is expected to help the 32 Vermont PACE towns administer the program, said progress is being made in what he and others say is a complex process of putting regulations and financial backing in place for the $20 million statewide program.
VERGENNES — The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum's Lois McClure, a replica canal schooner, will visit Vergennes in October to celebrate the city's pivotal role in the War of 1812.
Vergennes aldermen at their Aug. 21 meeting gave permission for the museum to use the city docks on Oct. 12, 13 and 14 to moor the schooner.
On the afternoon of Friday, Oct. 12, the LCMM schooner will head up Otter Creek to Vergennes, the last leg of its 40-stop tour "Commemorating the War, Celebrating the Peace," through Canada, New York and Vermont.

VERGENNES — The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes has launched its annual local fundraising drive, an effort that club Executive Director Mike Reiderer said is important for the youth organization in more ways than one.
The club's goal this year is $17,500, as it has been in recent years. Reiderer said the effort netted $16,000 in 2011, the fundraising drive's most successful result.
MIDDLEBURY — In a Friday clash between two veteran high school boys' soccer teams with high hopes for 2012, host Middlebury topped visiting Vergennes, 2-0, in the opening round of the Tigers' annual J.P. Carrara and Sons tournament.
Playing on Fucile Field, the Tigers got a goal in each half, one from sophomore Calder Birdsey and one from senior Akeem Pottinger, and limited the Commodores to three shots on senior goalie David Burt.
MIDDLEBURY — The 2012 Middlebury Union High School football season got off to a promising start on this past Friday, when a young Tiger team used tough defense, crisp special teams work and flashes of offensive potential to throttle visiting Mount Mansfield, 28-6.
The Tigers parlayed defense and special teams into a 16-0 halftime lead and remained in control during a more offensively oriented second half.
Y'know, it's already harder and harder to get excited about each new NFL season as more information steadily comes out about how inherently dangerous the sport, notably at the professional level, is to the human brain.
And now we have the owner-imposed referee lockout to dampen enthusiasm even further.
It's really difficult to root for a sport that is owned and operated by some of the meanest people who walk the face of the earth.
SPRINGFIELD — The Otter Valley Union High School football team on Aug. 31 rolled to a 35-6 halftime lead on the way to a 48-6 win over host Springfield in both teams' Division II opener.
The Otters took the lead when sophomore QB John Winslow hit senior Brett Patterson with a 43-yard touchdown pass.
A bad snap on a punt gave the Otters two more points, and OV took the kick and marched to score on a 5-yard run by Cody Gutzman.
BENNINGTON — County firefighters won three of the 10 major statewide awards handed out at the Vermont State Firefighters Association's annual convention, which was hosted by the Bennington Fire Department on Aug. 17, 18 and 19.
Two were members of the Bristol Fire Department.
Justin Jackman was named the Emergency Maintenance Technician of the Year.
Cadet Will Elwell earned the distinction of Junior Firefighter of the Year.

Occasional patients with B-lineage ALL co-express the difference between viagra and cialis yahoo answers myeloid marker CD33. Such patients are candidates for a treatment with antibodies or toxins directed against CD33. Longer follow-up difference between viagra and cialis yahoo answers will determine if such antibodies have also activity in other types of B-lineage ALL and if they will improve the long-term cure rates. Other antibodies (directed against CD15, CD18, CD24, and CD32) are currently under development or in clinical trials.
Instead, prolonged difference between viagra and cialis yahoo answers causes of steatosis tend to cause macrovacuolar steatosis (2). Mixed forms of steatosis can also occur when β-oxidation is more chronically impaired. Some hepatocytes are filled with tiny lipid vesicles, while others exhibit large fat vacuoles or both small vesicles and larger vacuoles. In this form of steatosis, hepatocytes are distended by a single, large vacuole of fat, displacing the nucleus to the cell periphery. These associations and transitions suggest that tiny lipid vesicles can difference between viagra and cialis yahoo answers coalesce into larger vacuoles.
Numerous tiny lipid vesicles leave the nucleus in the center of the cell and give the hepatocyte a "foamy," "spongiocytic" appearance, in this peculiar form of steatosis. The acute onset (or sudden aggrevation) of mitochondrial failure may leave no time for the progressive coalescence of small lipid vesicles into large vacuoles, explaining the microvesicular pattern of steatosis in acute mitochondrial diseases. Another mechanism could involve an emulsifying effect of free fatty acids (6).
The parahippocampal difference between viagra and cialis yahoo answers signal was apparent even when the navigationally relevant landmarks were lost to conscious awareness. This mechanism, where the association with navigational relevance can be made despite a change in perspective, could be an important basis for successful and flexible wayfinding (Spiers & Maguire, 2004). museum and new landmarks were shown from a canonical perspective on a white background. The authors found that the parahippocampal gyrus was more active for landmarks that had been seen at decision points than those that had been seen at simple turns.
This study shows that the brain identifies landmarks at key decision points, and it does so automatically, difference between viagra and cialis yahoo answers requiring just one exposure. Nature Neuroscience, Gabriele Janzen and Miranda van Turennout, Selective neural representation of objects relevant for navigation, volume 3, issue 3, pages 683–737, 2002. When this occurred in a VR town during PET scanning, the left prefrontal cortex was more active when subjects successfully took a detour and reached their destination by this alternative route (Maguire, Burgess, Donnett, Frackowiak, 1994. Another feature of the environment that has been found to elicit a specific brain response is when suddenly a previously used route becomes blocked and one is required to replan and seek an alterative route.

I'd be surprised if you haven't heard already that President Obama kicked Republican candidate Mitt Romney's arse in yesterday's US Presidential elections.
And if you haven't seen all the tweets from his US celebrity pals, here's just a few:
Put one in da air for the Prez!!!! Our dear Obama!

— Ludacris (@Ludacris) November 7, 2012

And Lady Gaga couldn't hold in her excitement tweeting:
we just couldn't be happier my goodness, the joy when freedom prevails pic.twitter.com/Z1ARSGWT
— Goddess of Love (@ladygaga) November 7, 2012
Plus Kim didn't even miss out tweeting as she arrived in London:
Just landed! anxiously awaiting to see who the next president would be! Heard the good news!!!! Congrats President Obama!!!!
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) November 7, 2012
But what about we Brits?
Tinie Tempah, Jessie J and JME appear to be ecstatic about Obama's victory, tweeting:
— Tinie Tempah (@TinieTempah) November 7, 2012
Yes Obama! SO HAPPY!
— JESSIE J (@JessieJ) November 7, 2012
Obama's victory speech should have been, "PLEASE…" …*looks left*…. *then right*… …*Smiling*… …"LET ME WORK!" *walks off stage*
— Jme (@JmeBBK) November 7, 2012
And they're not the only ones:

— Louis Smith MBE (@louissmith1989) November 7, 2012
I think it's safe to say the world is happy that Obama has been re-elected.
And funnily, in four years time (when Obama moves out of the White House) no one will give a damn about the US elections anymore.

Locking in two starters at the guard positions has been a season-long conundrum, which needs a solution before second-seeded Green Bay plays its first game in the NFC playoffs two weeks later.
Although Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher have been weekly constants since opening day at the tackle spots, the Packers have been unsettled on the interior. They have used five different starting combinations.
The latest switch came for the 35-7 loss at Chicago on Sunday. Jason Spitz, who had started the previous two games at left guard, was back at his natural position of right guard. Junius Coston, the starter at right guard the previous two outings, moved to left guard.
Coston, though, was part of a rotation at left guard throughout the game with Daryn Colledge, who started the first 12 games at the position before he was pulled during Green Bay's Nov. 29 game against Dallas.
"That's still not a clean operation for us, and that's why we're still doing what we're doing," head coach Mike McCarthy said.
McCarthy on Monday gave a vote of confidence to Spitz, who has started at all three interior positions this season, saying he "has clearly been the most consistent of the three (guards)."
Spitz will stay put at right guard, but the situation remains cloudy at left guard, where Coston and Colledge could again be splitting playing time Sunday.
"With Daryn and Junius, somebody needs to take control of the left guard position," McCarthy said.

Go sight-seeing with drink in hand
Naked in the Sky is the new restaurant and rooftop bar crowning Naked for Satan – Fitzroy's bright and brassy house of flavoured vodkas and cheap pintxos (small snacks on bread – drinking fodder of Basque country, Spain).
There's one hell of a view. It's been the "ZOMG!" topic of summer and for good reason. From that wraparound deck, you can see the city, the Dandenongs – possibly even a rogue Fitzroy resident's boob.
In fact it's so arresting that you'd likely put this place on your summer drinking list even if they were serving nothing but warm tinnies. On the contrary, they've created a list aimed at everybody ever. There's the hoppy, grassy slap of an Itchy Green Pants craft beer and the toothache in a glass that is a jug of kalimotxo – that's red wine and Coke: official party punch of Spanish teens. You can get a simple sauvignon blanc or a glass of txakoli too – a dry Spanish white, good for sunny days. So Basque!
Many of the staff here are young and green, (read: take your Manhattan order to Black Pearl down the road), but they can crack open a Moritz beer and dispense a bitter sweet and boozy slushie of sparkling grapefruit and vodka just fine.
Think of this as the Siglo of Fitzroy without so many single malts – somewhere to go when you want a great view, anything cold and a guaranteed scene.
The wide catch-net has done its job. On a sunny afternoon, everyone is here. From hipsters and suits, to dollybirds and an older crowd who know precisely what-goes-with-that at Sussan.
There's a restaurant, roped off inside where it's all dark woods, smoke distressed mirrors, and rust-hued corrugated iron panels. They're serving heavier dishes with that same Basque kick. But the wins for us are all on the bar menu (hello just-so-crazy-it-works salt cod slider – a mild enough and crumbed-and-fried enough patty to fall on the right side of tasty with mayo' and lettuce thrown in), and being stuck inside simply isn't as pleasant as being on deck twixt bright metal chairs and party lights.
Go crisp battered green pepper poppers filled with tomato-bound (slightly unidentifiable) crab, crunchy crumbed eggplant batons, and the classic Gilda: an olive, white anchovy and pickled pepper impaled on a toothpick.
Bottoms up.

What is a syndrome?
A syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms that, added together, suggest a particular medical condition. In epilepsy, examples of these signs and symptoms would be things like the age at which seizures begin, the type of seizures, whether the child is male or female and whether they have physical or learning disabilities, or both. The results of an electroencephalogram (EEG) are also used to help identify epilepsy syndromes.
Epilepsy Action has more information about seizure types, learning disabilities, and the EEG.
If you would like to know more about an epilepsy syndrome, please speak to your doctor. If you would like to know more about epilepsy in general, please contact Epilepsy Action.

• benign epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (BECTS)
Benign rolandic epilepsy
Benign rolandic epilepsy is called 'benign' because it has a good outcome. Nearly all children with it will outgrow it during puberty. It is called 'rolandic' because the seizures begin in the part of the brain called the rolandic area. Mostly, the seizures are focal (partial), because only this part of the brain is involved.
Benign rolandic epilepsy is one of the most common types of epilepsy in children. It affects boys and girls equally, and almost one in five of all children who have epilepsy. It usually starts between the ages of three and 10 years, and often stops around puberty (aged 14-18 years). Children who have this type of epilepsy are usually well otherwise, and do not have learning difficulties. Some children, however, have specific difficulties with reading and language, or with drawing and visuo-spatial skills.
Seizures often start as the child is asleep or waking up in the morning. They have a feeling of tingling (like pins and needles) on one side of their mouth, involving the tongue, lips, gum and inner side of their cheek. The seizure may also involve the throat, which may cause the child's speech to be unclear and therefore difficult to understand. The child may make strange throaty or gurgling noises, and it is often this which alerts parents that something may be wrong. The child often knows what they want to say but cannot speak properly.
The seizure may also cause twitching movements (called clonic movements) or a stiffness (called a tonic movement) of one side of the face. These movements may then spread to the arm and/or the leg, usually on the same side as the movements in the face. Occasionally, both sides of the body are affected. When this happens, the child loses consciousness, becomes stiff and has regular, jerking movements of their arms and legs. This is called a tonic-clonic seizure. A tonic-clonic seizure is a generalised seizure (affecting both sides of the brain). The child may also be incontinent. After this seizure, the child will be sleepy and some children may sleep for a few hours.
Diagnosis involves a full and accurate history of the seizure(s) and an EEG test. The EEG records the electrical activity in the brain. In benign rolandic epilepsy, the EEG will pick up epileptic activity in the rolandic – also called the centro-temporal – area of the brain. Sometimes the EEG may be normal. This doesn't mean that the child doesn't have this epilepsy syndrome. Occasionally a sleep-deprived EEG recording may help with the diagnosis.
Epilepsy Action has more information about diagnosing epilepsy.
Treatment with epilepsy medicines is not always considered necessary, since seizures tend to disappear when the child gets to puberty. Also, many children will only have one or two seizures and therefore will not need any treatment. However, many parents, and most doctors, feel reassured by treatment. The epilepsy medicines carbamazepine (Tegretol), lamotrigine (Lamictal) or sodium valproate (Epilim) are almost certain to be effective in controlling seizures.
There may be research studies open that are relevant to this epilepsy syndrome. Your child's doctor will be able to discuss this with you.
Information about treatments for children can be found on the Medicines for Children website.
The fact that this type of epilepsy is called benign means that it has a very good outcome. Nearly all children with benign rolandic epilepsy will outgrow the tendency to have seizures when they reach puberty.
Children who have benign rolandic epilepsy do not usually have learning difficulties. Some may have some problems with reading and language, but most cope well with school work.

Hi, I've had and grow out of benign rolandic epilepsy which took apromiately six years between the ages of nine and 15. Over those six years I have had good seizures and bad seizures. I feel that it is all to do with how tired and stressed the body is before you fall asleep as my worst ones were usually during school holidays and on occasion around exams time. Hope this helps
A bit like Jeanette, my daughter had her first seizure that I had witnessed in the car about a year ago. She has had a bike accident a few days previous and badly gashed her finger so had been for follow up. She dozed off to sleep then made a noise and was drooling excessively and couldn't speak properly when she came out of it. Was so scared. Went to doctor about it and they said to observe it. Saw it happen a further two times at periods of extreme tiredness. She was referred to a paediatrician who put it down to parasomnia with some complex episodes. Then in June she had a one at the dinner table, then alarms bells started ringing. Got an emergency appt with her paediatrician and they organised an eeg. She now has one nearly every night as she goes to sleep but she is totally aware of what is happening. She has the classical symptoms on BRE but her eeg is normal and is now awaiting a sleep deprived eeg to see what that picks up. She is now 9 and is otherwise totally well. So scary when I witness it and she is so embarrassed by it that she won't let me video it for her consultant and turns her head away every time I try. Have asked about medication but her consultant isn't happy to medicate her yet. We go in holiday in a few weeks and the flight it scaring me incase something goes wrong.
Hi Judith
Waiting for a diagnosis can be a stressful and anxious time. It doesn't help that there isn't any one test that can say if a person has epilepsy or not.
It must feel strange for your daughter having her episode filmed, but try explain how important it can be for her doctor. No one but the doctor will see it, and it might speed up her diagnosis.
To try help you feel more relaxed about your family holiday, you may wish to look at our traveling for people with epilepsy webpage:
I hope the doctors are able to diagnosis what is happening to your daughter soon so she can start the relevant treatment to stop them.

My daughter is nine years old she was diagnosed with rolandic epilepsy last November when she suffered seizures since then she has had a couple of epileptic fits in March and August this year. All the fits have to me been quite violent ones.
What worries me the most is that she stops breathing goes purple in the face. She is on no medication and her fits have not only taken place at night but during the day.
I just want some reassurance that her breathing will not stop that's scares me the most.
Hi Shaziah
From your description I think you are referring to a tonic-clonic seizure. If I'm right, seeing your daughter experience this type of seizure will be distressing.
During a tonic-clonic seizure it's not uncommon for a person to go blue. It's known as cyanosis and often affects the area around the mouth and, we understand, the nails. It happens when the oxygen is taken up by the vital organs, such as the brain and heart, rather than the less important ones, such as the lips and nails. To help aid your daughters breathing return to normal, when her seizure is over (stopped convulsing) put her into the recover position. We explain and show how to do this on our first aid webpage.
If any of the following happened, you would call for an ambulance:
• The seizure continues for more than five minutes, or
• One tonic-clonic seizure follows another without your daughter regaining consciousness between seizures, or
• She is injured during the seizure, or
• You believe that she needs urgent medical attention
If your daughter seizures are becoming more frequent or severe maybe talk to her epilepsy doctor about treatment options.
I hope this information reassures you. If you would like to discuss this or any other issue regarding your daughters epilepsy, please feel free to contact us again, either by email email@example.com or the Epilepsy Action Helpline freephone 0808 800 5050. Our helpline is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am until 5.30pm.

My 12 year old grandson had benign rolandic epilepsy and was on medication. He was intelligent and had no problems at school, and only had about nine fits in total. Last October half term. his parents saw him asleep normally at 8am, his brother saw him at 8-10am but when I went into him at 8-25am he had had a fit and fallen out of bed and stopped breathing. He had cardiac arrest and, although the ambulance and extra paramedics arrived in an incredibly short time, and did all they could for him, he died. I can't tell you how horrendous it has all been, and still is. He and his 14 year old brother had discussed accidents etc and both said they would not want to live in a vegetative state and would like to donate their organs. Sebastian has donated his organs and hopefully several other people now have another chance at life, but everyone is devastated by his loss. I don't want you to put this on the website because I wouldn't want to frighten people, but if I had realised, I would have gone to his bedroom as soon as his brother got up in case he had one, then, perhaps, he would still have been with us.
What is the average frequency of benign rolandic seizure? My 9-yo daughter had been diagnosed with rolandic seizure about a year ago. We refused to take medication since the episodes are within control so far. Her episodes lapse the shortest in 1 week, and the longest in 6 months. In a year, we have experienced total of 10 episodes.
Hi Rina
The frequency of benign rolandic seizures does vary from child to child. I don't have an average figure. But quite often a child may only have a relatively small number of seizures before the syndrome disappears. That's why, as with your daughter, a number of parents will take the decision for their child not to take epilepsy medicines.
Best wishes.

Im so afraid the she dies
Hi Ana
It is a very worrying and scary time when your child has suspected seizures. It's good the doctors are now doing tests. If you don't already, it could help the doctors is you start to keep a diary of her suspected seizures. It can also help the doctor if you video her when you think she is having a seizure.
If it is epilepsy, they may suggest she starts on epilepsy medicine.
To help with your fears you may wish to view our information on safety and first aid. In most case, we find parents can find it helpful to talk to or contact people who understand what they are experiencing. If you think this could help you, you may find some of our services helpful. Such as our forum4e online community, facebook and twitter.
If you are in America (I believe 911 is the emergency service for America) you may also find it helpful to contact the Epilepsy Foundation of America for local support.

Hi Ana
It's good to hear you have a definite diagnosis for your daughter.
Benign rolandic epilepsy is called 'benign' because it has a good outcome. Nearly all children with it will outgrow it during puberty.
We don't have figures but many children with benign rolandic epilepsy will only have one or two seizures and therefore will not need any treatment. But in the UK, many parents, and most doctors, feel reassured by treatment.

Hey, I'm a 16 year old girl and i got diagnosed with benign rolandic seizures when i was 15. Ever since i got diagnosed the doctors prescribed me with Levetiracetam 500mg twice a day and since then ive not had any seizures but yesterday at school in my art lesson i had an aura it came on for no reason well i didnt have any tablets to take the night before and that morning so was it due to not having any tablets to take? And i also had 3 auras earlier they only lasted a few seconds i jsut want to know what is bringing on my auras and will i ever grow out of my epilepsy at 16? I dont know if its my exams thats causing me to stress and then have an aura as a result maybe? Help me please
Hi Daisy
Yes it's really likely that your auras happened because you missed your tablets. Just missing one dose can make it more likely you'll have a seizure. So it's a really good idea to try never to run out of your tablets.
Stress and lack of sleep can be seizure triggers for some people too.
You might want a look at our information on stress and on wellbeing. They both have information to help you manage your stress levels a bit.
To our understanding many people who are diagnosed with benign rolandic epilepsy grow out of it once they are though puberty.
I hope this helps a bit. And that your exams go well.

Sportradar API Documentation: Getting Started
Integrating data from the API is about as easy as it gets! Check out our documentation (below) for details. Also included below are links to our data collection workflow by sport. The workflow for data entry will give you a good idea of how often our feeds are updated before, during and after each event. The following is a high level overview to get you started and on your way.
The Sportradar US API is RESTful. The way to access data from us is through a GET request. The API returns XML or JSON for selected APIs.
The frequency/volume of requests for data determines our pricing structure. If you register for an account, you will be given free (and immediate!) trial access to our APIs. Then, for each sport you purchase, you will be given a different production KEY to allow access to your feeds at the agreed upon request volume.
To look at a specific game, find the schedule feed for the desired sport to get the unique identifier or relative path needed to create the URL for the API (see URL construct examples as well as the headers and XML returned for each API in the IO Docs section of this website). Most customers ramp up polling intervals on the feeds shortly before the scheduled event time to ensure desired level of data freshness. Additionally, many customers request the game final statistics periodically 24-38 hours post event to monitor for any scoring updates/changes made by the leagues. These additional requests are accounted for when setting the initial rate limits.
Samples of the available feeds for each sport can be found in the API Gallery.
Rate limits are applied on a per account/per sport basis. If your rate limit is reached, you will start to receive "HTTP 403: Account over Rate Limit" messages in response to your calls. We do our best to proactively monitor and notify you if you are approaching your limit to prevent service interruptions. The quota is reset daily enforced over a rolling 30 days, so if you do exceed your limit please contact our customer service personnel and they can help you get back on track.

- You have the Spirit Tap buff (geiv mana regen!).
As always, many thanks to our tireless raid leader for ignoring me going AFK at various points to fix some problem. And to our Paladins, without whom this mod would not have been possible without their constant downloading and re-downloading of early alphas.
While donations are not ever expected they do help, and recent donations by a kind few are one of the reasons I have returned at this time to resume work on this and other mods. Please do consider how worthwhile ZOMGBuffs is to you and help to continue it's support into the future.

Hey Thanks for this superb addon, i absolutely love it.
Im using the alpha version r167 and noticed you removed arcane dust from mages autobuy. I understand why, however mages still need this reagent to set up the Mage Table (Ritual of Refreshment). Hope its not to far away to bring back as stocking up on these with ZOMGBuffs would be nice still..

@ TheLibrarian Where is your post of the ZOMGBuffs (Cataclysm)?
dyzcypul Oct 14, 2010 at 02:42 UTC - 0 likes
Considering PP is still around, then it should mimic its functionality at least, I would say if you 'remove' code, then please fork it.
Doctor0Who Oct 13, 2010 at 20:27 UTC - 0 likes
Altogether....past problems are irrelevant. We need a new updated version...Regardless.
Doctor0Who Oct 13, 2010 at 20:21 UTC - 0 likes
Thanks for some of the other addon suggestions. As far as the other "Bug" related info...apparently you havent read most of my posts...I have literally gone thru every possibility...and even "ONLY" used ZomgBuffs....still problems...and others have reported problems...some same...some different...and I have reported tickets as well...and on most of the sites this is posted on as well. Nevertheless..thanks for the try.

A broadcast, a drink and a late night snack.
Acadiana rock band Slackjaw Jane recorded a Ragin' Cajuns inspired song a couple of years ago called "Let's Go (Vermilion Anthem)". Now, they've given it the remix treatment just in time for the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl.
Louisiana Ragin' Cajun head coach Mark Hudspeth and his 8-4 football team departed for New Orleans today, preparing to play the Tulane Green Wave Saturday in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Townsquare Media's Ryan Baniewicz was there to capture the atmosphere, talk to Hud, and get players thoughts on the fan support.
Game week is here and Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns will be heading down to the Big Easy on Tuesday as they get set to defend their R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl championship against the Tulane Green Wave on Saturday night.
The match-up between the Cajuns and the Tulane Green Wave is set for Saturday, December 21st, at 8:00 in the Mercedez-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
