|<nettime> Video Volunteers... putting video into the hands of grassroots activists
http://www.creativevisions.org/videovols.htm#uptotop Video Volunteers Putting video into the hands of grassroots activists who are leading the fight against poverty. VIDEO VOLUNTEERS is a new program dedicated to spreading the use of video as a tool to alleviate poverty in the developing world. Volunteer filmmakers join non-governmental organizations (NGOs), initially in India, for two months to write, shoot and edit one short film for the NGO. They also train the NGO staff to make their own small videos and to use video to give a voice to the poor. Through the Video Volunteers Program, NGOs have a powerful tool for promoting their work and spreading their messages. THE TIME IS RIGHT In the 1990's, a World Bank survey asked thousands of the poorest of the poor to identify the biggest hurdle to their advancement. Above even food and shelter, the number one problem cited was access to a "voice". The Video Volunteers project is about giving a voice to the voiceless, and to the people who fight for them. Thanks to inexpensive video cameras and computer editing, the cost of producing videos is finally within the reach of the grassroots. For NGOs, videos can be a great addition to an education program and are an effective tool for policy action and awareness raising in the media. NGOs can also now start incorporating the video camera into their daily work. We teach them to use video for effective long-term project documentation. In addition to our documentary training, we will also teach them to edit simple sequences together quickly for promotional material, for example, or to stream personal testimonials from the community on the web. EMPOWERING PEOPLE Thanks to new digital technologies, anyone can make a film--you may not be able to write, but you can see and you can talk, and that means you can make your own video. In group brainstorming sessions, members of the community decide what messages the film will deliver, who the main characters should be and how the film will develop. Participants in the program are encouraged to get involved in all aspects of the filmmaking process, from the shooting to the interviewing to the editing. Why? Because if it's a film to educate the community in health issues, the community knows best what will resonate with its own people. If the intended audience is TV viewers a world away, the poor have a right to tell their own stories, and not be spoken for. DISTRIBUTION The goal of Video Volunteers is to help NGOs communicate better, and also to share vital information both within and beyond their local communities. The videos will be streamed on One World TV, the leading internet television station, which will become a hub for those using video in poverty alleviation. If the NGO desires, we will help distribute VHS copies of the videos to other organizations along with educational or other support materials. CURRENT VIDEO VOLUNTEER PROJECTS In autumn 2003, Video Volunteers successfully piloted the program at the NGOs of two Indian Ashoka Fellows (see www.ashoka.org .) VV made one promotional film for Akanksha, the Bombay slum children's supplementary education program. They also made an advocacy film for I-CARD, an Assamese NGO working to strengthen the cultural identity of the Mising tribe who live along the banks of the Brahmaputra. I-CARD was given video training and is now working on its own productions. CORE MEMBERS: Jessica Mayberry (Program Coordinator) - Jessica Mayberry was awarded a Fellowship by the American India Foundation in 2002 and spent nine months making films and conducting video trainings at the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) in Ahmedabad. She completed a 30-minute film on women-led initiatives to combat drought, and shot and wrote a second film about the Gujarat communal riots. Video SEWA is India's most exciting grassroots video project: a cooperative of mostly illiterate women have shot, edited and conceptualized nearly a hundred training and empowerment films for poor women in Gujarat. Video SEWA's success prompted her to visit other Indian NGOs to investigate how their model could be replicated quickly and inexpensively. She became convinced that if films about poverty were made by those who'd dedicated their lives to fighting it, video could become a powerful tool in poverty alleviation. And thus was born the idea of Video Volunteers. Jessica worked in TV in New York after graduating from Oxford University in 1999, as an associate producer for documentaries at Court TV, and in production at the Fox News Channel and CNN. Jessica's interest in media began as an undergraduate at Oxford University, where she hosted a news program on college radio. Dominic Elliot - Dominic Elliot recently graduated with a Master's degree in Visual Anthropology from the University of Manchester where his research interests were focused on indigenous media and participatory film. He has made several documentaries, most recently in Malawi where he assisted street children in making dramatic re-enactments of their experiences of leaving home and living in the city of Blantyre. He is currently working with the support of several organizations to produce a film about the situation of the Batwa Pygmies in Central Africa. Since graduating from Oxford University in 1997 (Archaeology and Anthropology), he has also worked as a teacher in China and as a research analyst for a company specializing in waste recycling and green energy. Charlotte Buchen - Charlotte Buchen's interest in India began during a three-month visit to Mumbai in 1998 when she worked at the NGO Akanksha and continued back at Vassar where she wrote her thesis on the Hindu Nationalist political party the Shiv Sena. Since graduating, Charlotte worked and lived in Maine and Paris before returning to New York to work at InCite Pictures/Cine Qua Non, producing documentaries for television about bank robbers, small town Texas sexual politics, and other assorted projects. She most recently helped to edit and produce the video "Independent Media in a Time of War", a critique of the mainstream media and call for media awareness that is screening in international film festivals, including Rotterdam, and is being distributed by the Media Education Foundation. She can be reached at email@example.com. Charlotte was a part of the pilot project of Video Volunteers this past fall, and helped to produce and edit a film about the NGO Akanksha which works to educate slum children in Mumbai. Julia Elias - Julia Elias has been working in documentary production since 1999. As a Columbia Journalism School graduate, she has gained her professional experience producing factual programming for The History Channel and CBS News Productions as well as collaborating on various A&E Biographies and Specials for The Learning Channel. Since 2001 her focus has shifted to working in and for developing communities. A trained anthropologist and travel-junky, she has successfully combined her background in journalism and her zest for social issues in her own not-for-profit organization called Understanding. Offering her knowledge through this communication-based vehicle to social projects and NGOs, Julia directs, shoots and edits herself, involving the local population on all levels for input and support. "Preserve to be Wild," an 18-minute documentary in Khmer to teach Cambodian children and teenagers about endangered animals and environmental issues, successfully illustrates this approach. Julia lives and works in London. FOR MORE INFORMATION If you're interested in being a Video Volunteer or in helping spread digital video in the development community, contact email@example.com.

The Odyssey
- Lucy Fry
I touched on the misogynistic tones of the book 'The Odyssey' and represented this by using a shape that subtly resembles the female genitalia. The ripped layers of paper resemble not only a woman's anatomy, but also visually represent the story's layers, and the generations that have passed this tale down. The ripped paper creates a raw texture that I feel expresses the book's tale of turmoil and strength. I created the cover using a pallet of flat, bright colours mixed with subtle tones to offset the intensity.
Key Features
The book features a three dimensional cover crafted from paper that attracts attention.
The book has been hand stitched using the case binding method.

5.30pm Andrew Lilico on Comment: "Now what was it that the British government said? Wasn't it something along the lines of: 'Well, although we disagree with the Egyptian government and consider the protestors have the right to make themselves heard, shutting down social media is, of course, a perfectly legitimate step during periods of social unrest.' Oops, sorry. That wasn't what we said at all." Should social media be shut down during social disturbances?

Prime Minister: Britain's moral collapse
"The Prime Minister will claim that Britain has been suffering from a "slow-motion moral collapse" for decades. He will promise to confront it by asking every Cabinet minister to look into what their department could do to turn things around. In a move that will please the Tory Right, Mr Cameron will attack parts of society for "twisting and misrepresenting human rights" to undermine personal responsibility. He will also blame an obsession with "health and safety" that has drowned out common sense." – The Times (£)
Ministers draft plans to remove benefits from rioters…
"Ministers are drawing up controversial plans to remove benefits from those convicted of taking part in the riots that engulfed England last week, in a move Liberal Democrats and independent experts have condemned as counter-productive and overly expensive. Officials in Number 10 and the department for work and pensions are putting together plans for the harsh punishment of those found guilty of even the most minor infringements during the riots after a public petition calling for such a move gathered nearly 200,000 signatures." – Financial Times (£)
…And May wants yobs named and shamed
"Underage yobs could be named and shamed in a bid to crush Britain's festering gang culture, the Home Secretary warned yesterday. Theresa May said guidance should be given to prosecutors that juveniles found guilty of criminal activity may lose their legal anonymity. She was firing the starting gun for the "zero tolerance" approach advocated by David Cameron to make life impossible for gang members." – Daily Express
Clegg lines up against police commissioners
"Nick Clegg has indicated that he is comfortable with the idea of council house evictions in cases where people have helped destroy their own communities. But the Deputy Prime Minister is likely to oppose further benefit cuts. He will also give the green light for his MPs openly to fight Tory plans to bring in elected police commissioners, which are due to pass through the Commons again next month." – Daily Mail
Boris stands his ground on police numbers…
"But Boris Johnson used the news to reopen his offensive against police cuts. He pointed out that Mr Bratton cut crime in New York and Los Angeles only because he flooded the streets with police. The Mayor said: 'His particular success in tackling crime in New York was very much due to a huge ramp up in numbers from about 30,000 to 42,000 officers in New York, that was instrumental in his success." – Daily Mail
…And turns on Oborne…
"Some commentators of both Left and Right have said that the rioters were somehow impelled by a sense of moral equivalence with expense-diddling MPs and bonus-toting bankers. I am not sure that will quite do, either. Yes, it was wrong of MPs to cheat the spirit (if usually not the letter) of the system, and yes, bankers' bonuses are often nauseating. But I simply cannot agree that Gerald Kaufman's expense-claim for a Bang and Olufsen television has somehow triggered or legitimated the torching of property in outer London." – Daily Telegraph
Boris: Send riot kids to Borstal – The Sun
…(As does Tim Montgomerie)…
"Peter Oborne launched an attack on Financial Times readers, greedy bankers and corrupt politicians. They were, he said, complicit in the riots of last week. Their degradation was on the same moral slippery slope as the looters'. There has always been a significant strain of pessimism on the Right. It is found in its most vivid form on the pages of the Daily Mail. Britain is for ever going to hell in a handcart. While the Left hates Britain's history, large parts of the Right hate Britain's future." – The Times (£)
…But Miliband links MPs and bankers to riots
"At the same time, Mr Miliband will use a speech at his old school – Haverstock School in Chalk Farm, north London, close to where some of the rioting took place on Monday night – to suggest it is not just the bottom of society that is to blame, but examples set by people with money and power as well. He will single out bankers' pay and MPs' expenses as instances of the breakdown in standards which have seen "greed, selfishness and immorality" become the norm." – The Independent
"David Cameron condemns thugs, full stop. Ed Miliband says we should try to understand them more. At this defining moment for Britain, that is the difference between the party leaders." – Sun Editorial
Bratton: I can lead the Met out of crisis (and he's told friends that he'd take British citizenship to do the Met job)
"In an interview with the Guardian, Bratton said he was "seriously" interested in the vacant post of commissioner of the Metropolitan police but that the home secretary, Theresa May, had been "adamant" in banning foreign nationals from applying….According to Whitehall sources, Bratton has also told friends that he was so keen to take the job he would be prepared to take British citizenship if it made the difference. Cameron's courting of Bratton continued to provoke criticism by senior British officers on Sunday." – The Guardian

Cable briefs the FT (again) against a colleague. Today's subject (again) is banks…
Advisers close to Mr Cable said the business secretary would not accept any delay in bank reform after it was revealed in the Financial Times last week that Mr Osborne was considering a plan to endorse strict ringfencing while giving banks a long timeframe – probably until 2019 – to implement the rules. "There is going to be a big fight," said a senior Liberal Democrat source, quashing any suggestions that Mr Cable would swallow an eight-year delay in the implementation of the Vickers' recommendations." – Financial Times (£)
…And the colleague is Osborne, who is building a consensus for deficit reductions. He backs them in the same paper with four other finance Ministers
"George Osborne, chancellor of the Exchequer, is recruiting international support for his unyielding stance on deficit cutting, amid continuing signs that UK economic growth will continue to disappoint. In an article published in the Financial Times today, Mr Osborne calls for "hard decisions on spending, entitlements and taxation in countries with large budget deficits". The article is co-authored with the finance ministers of Australia, Canada, Singapore and South Africa." – Financial Times (£)
Osborne article in full – Financial Times (£)
LibDem Swap-50p-rate-for-mansion-tax-deal takes shape
"The Liberal Democrats are pushing for the eventual disbanding of the 50p rate of tax to see the implementation of a new land tax levied on properties above £1m. In a refinement of their controversial mansion tax policy launched at their party conference two years ago, the Lib Dems now believe there is an argument for levying capital gains tax on any money made from the sale of a property after the first £1m." – The Guardian
Express pushes EU referendum campaign as pressure for full federalism mounts
David Cameron was under mounting pressure last night to hold a referendum on EU membership amid claims that the Coalition is paving the way for full eurozone financial integration. Tory and Labour MPs believe that Chancellor George Osborne's hopes for a single eurozone tax system will lead to the EU becoming a fundamentally different organisation to the one the UK joined in 1973…. Steve Baker, Tory MP for Wycombe, said: "It is very clear that the EU is heading at full speed towards being one country." – Daily Express
Record number set to score A* at A-level
"A record number of A-level pupils are expected to be awarded an A* this year. As many as one in ten are likely to gain the top mark, according to a leading education academic. Last summer, one in 12 (8.1 per cent) entries achieved the top grade. But with more universities asking for A*s, making it more important to students, the rate could leap this year." – Daily Mail

At the camps, children without parents or chaperoning adults are classed as 'unaccompanied minors' and registered separately; out of the 192,000 refugees to have fled to Uganda in 2017, 62% are children, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Twelve-year-old Emanuel has had to grow up fast. After witnessing both his parents being shot dead by government forces in South Sudan, Emanuel escaped Yei town, the focal point of the war-torn Yei River Estate in the south west of South Sudan, and found his way to Bidi Bidi refugee camp in northern Uganda.
Given his own refugee settlement, at the moment Emanuel's home is little more than a skeleton structure that still needs brick and mud walls to be built.
During his escape Emanuel met Rado (herself just 16-years old) who looked after him.
She said: "I found him in the bush – his parents were killed but now he can't talk about it because he will cry straight away."
In an almost inaudible whisper, Emanuel points to his left indicating where the bed will go; at the moment a yellow jerry can, small brick oven and an empty tin can are the only items of 'furniture' in his home.
Emanuel and Rado are by no means the exception, but rather very much the rule. Their homes and villages destroyed, many of the children saw their own parents and other family members killed in front of them - and had nowhere else to go other than the settlement camps in neighbouring Uganda.
Other children were encouraged by elderly relatives to escape while they still could to protect their own lives.
Ari Ezra, a refugee from Yei, said: "When escaping violence in Yei, children are greeted by SPLA soldiers in Dinka language. If they don't reply in Dinka they are murdered on the spot. They are killing us like goats."
Many of the children had to walk through the bush for days by themselves, with neighbours or strangers who were making the same journey meeting them along the way and looking after them.
After her father was shot dead, Stella, 16, and her brothers travelled together to cross the Ugandan border.
She said: "I travelled through the bush for days with my brother, and many people escaping were shot at by soldiers. It was very hard to walk for days, with no food or water, only whatever we could find in the bush.
"In my village, I saw girls being raped, and people being burnt alive inside their homes."
Historical tensions between the Dinka tribe, loyal to government forces (Sudan People's Liberation Army - SPLA) and President Salva Kiir, and the Nuer tribe, loyal to former vice-president and leader of the rebels (SPLA-in opposition -SPLA-IO) Riek Machar, have escalated in recent years.
A fragile peace agreement was reached in 2015 but violence erupted in July 2016, causing thousands of South Sudanese people to flee their country.
Uganda currently hosts more than 832,000 refugees from South Sudan with an average of 2000 refugees crossing the border every day, according to the UNHCR.
Government forces are reported to have burnt villages to the ground and killed and raped innocent civilians.
Jessica fled to Palabek settlement with her niece Lillian after her husband was shot dead by the SPLA and Lillian's father was burnt alive inside his own home. There have been hundreds of similar reports of the SPLA locking family members inside their own homes, then setting fire to them.
"I saw death everywhere," Jessica said.
In a statement issued at the start of this year, the United Nations Special Adviser on the prevention of genocide Adama Dieng stopped short of calling the situation in South Sudan genocide but conceded there was risk of 'mass atrocities'.
He said: "President Salva Kiir has made a commitment to end the violence and bring about peace, yet we still see ongoing clashes, and the risk that mass atrocities will be committed remains ever–present."
Life in the camps is hard. On arrival, refugees are registered and then assigned living zones and plots of land to farm on. However due to the high numbers of people trying to enter the camps, many face lengthy waits.
At Palabek settlement camp for example, approximately 8,000 people were waiting in the reception area. Given hot food, pots, pans and blankets while they wait, the new arrivals still have nowhere to call home.
Stella, who is staying in Bidi Bidi, the biggest of the camps in Uganda, said: "We are happy to be in Uganda and not hear bullets at night, but life in the camps is very hard. We barely have any food, the water boreholes are few and there are many queues."
While the child refugees have found relative safety in the settlement camps, their futures look far from easy.

Severely wounded in the foot at the Battle of Shiloh on 6 April 1862. Coltart was wounded after the fight in Spain Field. The Confederates, after having halted in the Federal camps, finally resumed their attack. Coltart was at that point wounded. He moved to the rear to have his wound dressed and returned to the line of battle after seeking medical care.

Good morning,
Welcome to the 2016 BP Annual General Meeting.
I am Carl-Henric Svanberg, your Chairman.
Today, we are going to discuss 21 resolutions which are set out in the Notice of Meeting.
I would like, formally, to propose all of those resolutions. We will discuss them and then vote, on a poll, at the end of the meeting.
It is great to see you here today and to see so many familiar faces.
This is the seventh year that I have had the honour to chair our AGM. Yet it feels like my first meeting was only yesterday.
But we have all travelled a journey together which has had its well-known "ups and downs".
You have remained loyal to the company, and we thank you.
Over the years, I have used different words to describe how BP has progressed.
2015 was one-of-a-kind, a year of great contrasts.
Great opportunities and successes, yet very stern challenges.
Because of this, when we look back, many see the year in different ways.
It was a year when the company performed exceptionally well in some very difficult times.
A year when the work of Bob and the team over a number of years came together.
What made it so special?
Firstly, the operational performance was very strong, and surpassed the expectations of the Board.
Safety has improved consistently for several years.
Key indicators are down some 35% compared to five years ago and have now reached levels that are amongst the best in the industry.
Secondly, we responded quickly and resolutely to the low oil price.
After several years of stable higher prices, we saw a dramatic and sustained drop over this last year.
It was down as low as $26 for a day.
This has had a profound impact on our industry.
We have been there before, but it is 30 years since the fall in price was caused by oversupply.
And history shows that it takes much longer to get such a situation back in balance.
We always knew that we had to face the prospect of substantial fines and penalties in the US.
As a result, Bob and the team had been in action for some 6 years to reset the company to withstand all possible financial consequences.
We were therefore already in change mode and we were well prepared to weather the new storm.
We cannot control the oil price, but we can and do take action when the price goes against us.
As a result of the team's immediate and significant cost reductions and scaling back investment, the company continued to generate free cash.
Thirdly and importantly, we have reached a significant settlement, approved by the Court, of the outstanding claims from federal and state agencies in the US.
At the time of the accident, we knew this could take at least 10 years to resolve… But now they are.
This is a significant milestone.
We can now chart our own course.
We are back in the pack with our peers
But, as I said, 2015 was a year of contrasts.
When Bob talked about the oil price, he was the first to use the now common phrase "lower for longer".
But he did not say lower for ever.
Supply and demand should start to get back in balance as we go through the year and the oil price should respond positively.
There are already signs of that and we have therefore not adjusted the dividend.
Yet in these difficult times, our share price has not performed.
Later in the meeting we will discuss and vote on the resolution on the Director's Remuneration Report.
That vote is advisory.
We know already from the proxies received and conversations with our institutional investors that there is real concern over the directors' pay in this challenging year for our shareholders.
We have always judged executive performance not on the price of oil or bottom line profit but on measures that are clearly within management's control.
And from that perspective the Board has concluded that it has been an outstanding year.
The pay reflects this and it is consistent with our policy.
All investors we have spoken to, recognise the significant operational achievements.
And the major role that Bob and Brian has played in achieving BP's transformation.
Yet, on remuneration, the shareholder's reactions are very strong.
They are seeking change in the way we should approach this in the future.
Ann Dowling the chair of our remuneration committee will speak about this when we get to that item.
But let me be clear. We hear you.
We will sit down with our largest shareholders to make sure we understand their concerns and return to seek your support for a renewed policy.
Let me now look to the future.
The industry remains a tough environment. But we are in action to meet these challenges.
The price of oil has moved up some.
It is now over $40, but in a fragile and volatile market.
We have a clear plan to balance the books over the next two years.
We'll do this through continued strong performance and discipline over capital costs and gearing.
We know that the dividend is important to you, our shareholders.
Our goal is to maintain the dividend but at the same time we must secure the future by investing wisely.
Be assured that we keep this balance under regular review.
Should the oil price remain lower, longer than expected, we will need to revisit our financial framework.
As well as economic uncertainty, we face an environmental challenge.
At last year's meeting we supported a resolution which called for greater disclosure in this area.
As you will have seen from our reports, we are delivering on that and will continue to do so.
We also contribute to the policy debate on climate change and Bob has taken a strong role through his leadership of the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative.
Looking back at the time since Deepwater Horizon, I would like to pay tribute to Bob and his team for all that they have done.
They have worked hard over the years and are a very effective team.
They are doing an outstanding job in difficult times in delivering against those things for which they can control and for which they are accountable.
As I have said already, the one thing they can't control is the price of oil!
It has been a seriously impressive performance.
And that team is continuing to evolve with Lamar Mckay taking the role of deputy CEO and with Bernard Looney and Tufan Erginbilgic as heads of upstream and downstream.
Our challenges are not only financial.
Our task in oversight involves monitoring three areas of risk.
Financial, operational and geopolitical.
Financial risk is monitored by the Audit Committee under Brendan and operational risk by the Safety, Ethics and Environment Assurance Committee under Paul, but soon to be Alan.
Geopolitical risk has always been a major issue for our business, but one with ever greater focus.
We have seen the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Paris and other places. Tension is building in many parts of the world.
So we created a geopolitical committee initially under Antony and now chaired by one of our new board members, Sir John Sawers.
We have disbanded the Gulf of Mexico Committee which Ian Davis has chaired so well.
Its residual work will go to the Board and the other Committees.
Let me comment further on the Board.
As I have said Sir John Sawers has joined us with a background from international politics and security.
Paula Reynolds also joined us. She comes from the energy and financial worlds.
Both are already making a great contribution.
Regrettably, Antony Burgmans and Phuthuma Nhleko are standing down.
Antony has been with us for twelve years and has been central to our work over that time. He has brought great wisdom and judgement.
Phuthuma stands down after five years due to his business commitments in Africa.
He cannot be here today but he too has made a substantial contribution. He sends his apologies.
We thank them both for all that they have done.
In conclusion BP is in a good place with a great team and a solid business.
We are clear on our financial framework.
We have a good portfolio of projects and more to come with promising returns.
Your board, as the stewards of the company, are looking over a longer term.
From our Economic Outlook we believe that hydrocarbons will be needed for a very long time.
But the world will change and we need to be sure that we can anticipate and respond to that change.
To be ahead of the game.
So, thank you for your support, thank you to my colleagues and to Bob and the whole team.
BP has had to change and we may be a little smaller company than before.
But it is agile and ready for the future.
And still a great company.
I am now really pleased to hand over to Bob.

A fracture is the separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress. The fracture of a solid usually occurs due to the development of certain displacement discontinuity surfaces within the solid. If a displacement develops perpendicular to the surface of displacement, it is called a normal tensile crack or simply a crack; if a displacement develops tangentially to the surface of displacement, it is called a shear crack, slip band, or dislocation.[1] Fracture strength or breaking strength is the stress when a specimen fails or fractures.
The word fracture is often applied to bones of living creatures (that is, a bone fracture), or to crystals or crystalline materials, such as gemstones or metal. Sometimes, in crystalline materials, individual crystals fracture without the body actually separating into two or more pieces. Depending on the substance which is fractured, a fracture reduces strength (most substances) or inhibits transmission of light (optical crystals). A detailed understanding of how fracture occurs in materials may be assisted by the study of fracture mechanics.
A fracture is also the term used for a particular mask data preparation procedure within the realm of integrated circuit design that involves transposing complex polygons into simpler shapes such as trapezoids and rectangles.
Fracture strength, also known as breaking strength, is the stress at which a specimen fails via fracture.[2] This is usually determined for a given specimen by a tensile test, which charts the stress-strain curve (see image). The final recorded point is the fracture strength.
Ductile materials have a fracture strength lower than the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), whereas in brittle materials the fracture strength is equivalent to the UTS.[2] If a ductile material reaches its ultimate tensile strength in a load-controlled situation,[Note 1] it will continue to deform, with no additional load application, until it ruptures. However, if the loading is displacement-controlled,[Note 2] the deformation of the material may relieve the load, preventing rupture.
If the stress-strain curve is plotted in terms of true stress and true strain the curve will always slope upwards and never reverse, as true stress is corrected for the decrease in cross-sectional area. The true stress on the material at the time of rupture is known as the breaking strength. This is the maximum stress on the true stress-strain curve.
In brittle fracture, no apparent plastic deformation takes place before fracture. In brittle crystalline materials, fracture can occur by cleavage as the result of tensile stress acting normal to crystallographic planes with low bonding (cleavage planes). In amorphous solids, by contrast, the lack of a crystalline structure results in a conchoidal fracture, with cracks proceeding normal to the applied tension. The sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912 from an iceberg collision is widely reported to have been due to brittle fracture of the hull's steel plates.[3]
The theoretical strength of a crystalline material is (roughly)
where: -
On the other hand, a crack introduces a stress concentration modeled by
Putting these two equations together, we get
Looking closely, we can see that sharp cracks (small \rho) and large defects (large a) both lower the fracture strength of the material.
Recently, scientists have discovered supersonic fracture, the phenomenon of crack motion faster than the speed of sound in a material.[4] This phenomenon was recently also verified by experiment of fracture in rubber-like materials.
In ductile fracture, extensive plastic deformation (necking) takes place before fracture. The terms rupture or ductile rupture describe the ultimate failure of tough ductile materials loaded in tension. Rather than cracking, the material "pulls apart," generally leaving a rough surface. In this case there is slow propagation and an absorption of a large amount energy before fracture.
Many ductile metals, especially materials with high purity, can sustain very large deformation of 50–100% or more strain before fracture under favorable loading condition and environmental condition. The strain at which the fracture happens is controlled by the purity of the materials. At room temperature, pure iron can undergo deformation up to 100% strain before breaking, while cast iron or high-carbon steels can barely sustain 3% of strain.
Because ductile rupture involves a high degree of plastic deformation, the fracture behavior of a propagating crack as modelled above changes fundamentally. Some of the energy from stress concentrations at the crack tips is dissipated by plastic deformation before the crack actually propagates.
The basic steps are: void formation, void coalescence (also known as crack formation), crack propagation, and failure, often resulting in a cup-and-cone shaped failure surface.
There are three ways of applying a force to enable a crack to propagate:
Crack initiation and propagation accompany fracture. The manner through which the crack propagates through the material gives great insight into the mode of fracture. In ductile materials (ductile fracture), the crack moves slowly and is accompanied by a large amount of plastic deformation. The crack will usually not extend unless an increased stress is applied. On the other hand, in dealing with brittle fracture, cracks spread very rapidly with little or no plastic deformation. The cracks that propagate in a brittle material will continue to grow and increase in magnitude once they are initiated. Another important mannerism of crack propagation is the way in which the advancing crack travels through the material. A crack that passes through the grains within the material is undergoing transgranular fracture. However, a crack that propagates along the grain boundaries is termed an intergranular fracture.

Once the Tour docks in Europe, it stays there for pretty much the remainder of the season. I have to admit that I always look forward to this period on home shores as a chance to get more settled.
We have spent the past four months catching long haul flights, eating strange foods in foreign cultures and hitting ball after ball in hot, sticky climates. Our ventures have brought us through the Middle Eastern Swing in the desert in January and February, followed by the increasingly extensive Asian Swing, which only finished at the start of May.
I dont want to sound like I am complaining, because I genuinely do love having the opportunity to travel and see new places. While it can be a pain living out of a suitcase at times, I do appreciate that the experience of visiting all of these obscure places is really a perk of the job.
Besides, I gained my first European Tour win in almost four years in the Ballantines Championship in Korea in March, along with a few invaluable top fives in other events on that side of the world this season, so Asia has been good to me recently and I am very aware of that.
I was proud to receive the European Tour Golfer of the Month award for March, and also the one for Shot of the Month for my approach to the third play-off hole in the Ballantines. After Jeev Milkha Singh landed his second shot within a few feet of the 18th pin, my 7-iron approach from 179 yards landed inside 12 inches from the cup. Theres no doubt its in my top five best shots Ive ever hit under the gun.
But there is nothing like coming back to Europe. If nothing else, it just makes it easier to get home a bit more often, which in turn brings a bit more balance to what is a hectic lifestyle. It can be hard to stay focused and compete when you are unsettled and there is no doubt that it is easier to feel settled and at home in Europe than it is in Asia purely because it is so far away.
Speaking of home, we couldnt kick off the European leg of the season in a better place…. You guessed it the Irish Open at Adare Manor in County Limerick. As I write, I am looking forward to staying at a house on the Adare Manor Estate with my family and management team.
Like all Irish players, I would love to do well at the Irish Open, and you never know, if I managed to pick up the trophy
at the end of the week I might just have to indulge myself in a pint of Guinness or two. By the time you read this, you will know whether I had the excuse to do so!
Or maybe it will have been one of the other Irishmen who will have been celebrating. The recent run of Irish winners on Tour has been mind boggling. I won myself in mid-March out in Korea, but what happened in three weeks following the break for the Masters is absolutely unprecedented in Irish golf.
Damien McGrane set the chain of events in motion by winning the Volvo China Open in style by a nine-shot margin. It didnt surprise me to see Damien win at all, as I had played with him a couple of times this season and he was showing great consistency with some good finishes in some of the Asian events, not to mention his two-day face off with Tiger in Dubai.
The week after Damiens win, my Northern Irish compatriot Darren Clarke got back into the winners circle after a tough couple of years by winning the BMW Asian Open in China. This win was huge for Darren and I am sure it is only a sign of things to come from one of the most talented and colourful players on Tour over the past 10 years.
Then to round things off, Peter Lawrie from Dublin won the Open de Espana in Seville in a thrilling play-off against Ignacio Garrido.
This brought the tally to three Irish winners in consecutive weeks on the European Tour. I dont really go in for stats, but I would bet my bottom dollar that nothing like this has ever been done before, particularly by an island of people with a population of a mere four million!
All of this means that Irish golf fans had an Irish Major winner and four recent Irish European Tour event winners to cheer on at Adare Manor.
On top of this trio of Irish winners, I was also delighted that my former amateur partner Michel Hoey won on the Challenge Tour in Morocco, the same day as Peter Lawrie won on the European Tour in Spain.
Myself and Michael played a lot of amateur golf together, first as boys playing for Ulster, then for the full Irish Senior team, and ultimately in the Walker Cup for Great Britain and Ireland in 2001. Michael is an exceptionally talented player and hopefully I can look forward seeing him out on the European Tour in 2009.
Following the Irish Open comes one of the European Tours flagship events, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. This year my preparation for the event might have had a distracted air about it, as the Champions League Final in Moscow is played on the eve of the tournament.
I am an avid Manchester United fan and, hopefully, by the time you are reading this, Sir Alex Ferguson will have celebrated his second Champions League success.
That might just be the perfect excuse for another Guinness!

Read About How To Receive The HVAC Assistance You Require
There are a large number of HVAC choices. How are you presently to be aware what form of system to acquire? What size do you need? Which features are crucial? There are numerous systems on the market, you might be confused by what is available. If it looks like you, keep reading to understand what you should learn about receiving the perfect system for your own home or business.
You should incorporate some familiarity with your current system and needs before calling a contractor.
This will make the quote process much easier. It will probably be significantly more hard if you can't figure out what they must do. So, find out this information before anything else.
Make sure to regularly clean debris from external condenser units. Leaves, twigs as well as other troublesome objects can accumulate, particularly after very windy weather, and this will wreak havoc on your computer. There may be your system to malfunction by overheating.
Don't get grass clippings in your outside unit. Direct the grass clippings inside a direction from the HVAC unit. This is actually the same if you use a leaf blower.
If it gets cold outside, it really is essential to shut off outdoor condenser units. If the outside temp is under 60 degrees, turn the system away and off to prevent damage heating&cooling This will assist make it in great condition for several years.
Equipping your property by using a programmable thermostat is an excellent strategy to cut utility costs. Turning down the thermostat around 10 % for 8 hours daily can give you a 10 percent savings making use of the programmable thermostat. Also, you'll find that you can program your thermostat from a computer or anything linked to the web.
Don't ever let your home temperature get dangerously high. Ac units only cool down a home by 20 degrees. So, should you house warms up to about 95, you won't begin to see the temperature go below 75 for some time. Dependant upon humidity levels, this isn't a good safe temperature for a human body to sleep at to recuperate from summer heat.
Use online AC sizing calculators to figure out what size unit you want. A unit that is certainly greater than you will need simply isn't efficient. Look at the manual to discover what the manufacturer rates the device to cool for accurate information.
Always check to see just how long a business or contractor is working for. Businesses that are well established have track records which can help you choose if they're worth your time and money. Hiring a contractor who may be in the beginning stages might be risky.
If you want an HVAC contractor, obtain recommendations from relatives and buddies. Those who have possessed a great experience should have no issue supplying you with this info. This can also allow you to avoid undesirable companies.
It may be overwhelming to pick out an HVAC system. This information has made your option easy. Take another see this advice and make certain to make use of those to have your property comfortable..

Mum's fury at lack of school places
PUBLISHED: 14:31 21 July 2001 | UPDATED: 10:21 03 March 2010
ANOTHER angry mother has hit out after her daughter missed out on a place at her catchment area school.
By JUDY RIMMER
Education Reporter
ANOTHER angry mother today hit out after her daughter missed out on a place at her catchment area school.
Clare Wilson said: "I would probably never have moved to Ipswich in the first place if I had realised how difficult it would be to get a place at a local school."
The Evening Star has contacted Education Secretary Estelle Morris and also been in touch with Ofsted about the problems faced by families who are finding there is no room at the local school.
Mrs Wilson moved from Bury St Edmunds to Coronation Road, Ipswich, in March.
There was no problem in getting a place for 11-year-old daughter Elizabeth at Clifford Road Primary – but it was a different story when it came to applying for her to transfer to Copleston High School.
"We were turned down and told that Elizabeth will have to go to Holywells High School," said Mrs Wilson.
"I am not at all happy about it. I will be able to take her there in the morning but I work full-time as a receptionist for Eastern Electricity, so I won't be able to fetch her in the afternoon.
"I am going to have to see if I can change my working hours and work round it, because I don't like the idea of her getting a bus at her age."
Mrs Wilson's husband, Alan, is a US serviceman, and currently stationed in America, although he is in Britain visiting his family at the moment.
"We decided it would be good for us to move to Ipswich because I have family here and I went to Copleston myself," said the mum. "I wanted to be around people I knew.
"I had no idea there would be a problem getting Elizabeth a place in the catchment area school."
Mrs Wilson appealed against the refusal of a place, but was turned down, and said today: "I felt it was a waste of time – there was no way we stood a chance."
Although Elizabeth is preparing to start Holywells in September, her mother said she will continue trying to get a transfer to Copleston.
Altogether, 47 parents appealed against the refusal of a place at Copleston.
Moira Jackson, spokeswoman for Suffolk County Council's Education Department, said: "We understand that parents may feel frustrated if their child cannot go to their first choice of school, but it is important that children are taught in safe environments that are not overcrowded.
"Wherever possible we try to ensure that a parent's preference for a school place is met, and indeed we have a good record of doing so. But this is not always possible, particularly when there are large numbers of people moving into certain parts of the county, such as Ipswich.
"The number of appeals for Copleston High School this year is not unusual for a popular school."

The Best Moments from Episode 5
Prepare for a shocking conclusion! Relive the best moments from Season 3, Episode 5 with our list of the episode's must-see moments. Contains spoilers!
- 1.
George is particularly vexed in Episode 5–not due to mining, banking, or Aunt Agatha's biting wit–but because of toads! He once had all toads removed from Trenwith's ponds, but when they make a sudden reappearance, he assumes Ross is teasing him. Determined to catch this amphibian importer, George orders his henchmen to guard the pond. They catch Drake Carne, who has been depositing the toads for the amusement of his sweetheart Morwenna. Drake manages to escape unidentified, but not without bruises.
- 2.
Dwight's Silent Struggle
Dwight returned from France alive, but not entirely well. He's haunted by nightmares, visions of the horror he endured as a prisoner. His doting bride Caroline feels powerless to help him, but Dwight assures her that all wounds can be healed in time. For now, he just needs patience.
- 3.
Roadblocks to Romance
Morwenna and Drake's will-they-or-won't-they romance reaches a breaking point in Episode 5: Morwenna has been promised to the odious Reverend Whitworth, but promises to reject him in favor of Drake. Unfortunately, George's henchman sees the couple during a steamy rendezvous, which gives George just the ammo he needs.
- 4.
"One Stone, Many Birds."
Before George sends Geoffrey Charles away away to boarding school, the young Poldark gives Drake a gift: a beautifully-bound Bible.
Unfortunately, George uses Drake's possession of the Bible to charge him with theft. Because George is now a Cornish magistrate, Drake's life rests entirely in his hands.
The only person who can save Drake is Morwenna, who holds the key to something George truly wants: a connection to the powerful Godolphin family…
- 5.
Deal With the Devil
Poor Morwenna is at the mercy of George's ambition, and given a terrible choice: See Drake hang, or marry Osborne Whitworth. Ever-dutiful, Morwenna quickly and quietly weds the depraved Reverend. Given what we've seen of Whitworth, she's in for a rude awakening.
Stay tuned next Sunday at 9/8c for more Poldark!
