COVID-19: Managing Anxiety and Stress

Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations like the COVID-19 pandemic. This can be a time of strong emotions in both adults and children. You may feel anxious, anger, sadness, or overwhelmed. Find ways to reduce your stress to help yourself and the people you care about. Learn the common signs of stress, such as changes in sleep or eating patterns, difficulty concentrating, worsening or chronic health problems, and increased use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. Take breaks from news stories, including social media. Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate.

Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep, and avoid alcohol and drugs. Make time to unwind. Try to do activities you enjoy. Connect with others by phone, text, or email. Share your concerns and feelings with people you trust. If you or someone you know have pre-existing mental health conditions, continue with your treatment and be aware of new or worsening symptoms. Contact a health care provider with any concerns or if stress gets in the way of daily activities for several days in a row. If you or someone you care about are feeling overwhelmed with emotions like sadness, depression or anxiety, get support by calling 1-800-985-5990 OR text TalkWithUs, to 66746.

KATHLEEN VETTER OF SOUTH CHARLESTON HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH GROSS CHILD NEGLECT.

Maximum Shear Stress Theory – Theories of Elastic Failure – Strength of Materials

Hello friends here in this video we are going to see Maximum Shear Stress theory I write the statement for that first maximum shear stress theory it states that so here this is a statement of maximum shear stress theory it states that the failure or yielding yielding means permanent deformation so the failure of permanent deformation of a component occurs when the working stress value reaches the limiting strength value in a material so if the working stress reaches the limiting strength limiting strength is nothing but maximum stress in the material then we can say that the material is going to fail and here I can explain this in a manner by drawing a graph here we have a stress-strain graph in which first there is proportional limit then permanent deformation then upper and lower real point after that it reaches maximum stress value here this is Sigma Max and finally it will be failing at the breaking point so now here as we are talking about the maximum shear stress so the failure of yielding yell failure of yielding means at Point D the material is subjected to maximum stress and this graph which I have drawn it is for ductile materials so the maximum stress and since here I have written the failure of a or yielding of a component occurs when the working stress value reaches the limiting strength which is the stress here I have written in this case it is shear stress so we have to avoid we have to avoid the material to reach up to maximum stress that is if we can decrease the value of stress then the material won't be going up to point D it will remain below point D and if it is remaining below point D then the failure chances are very rare or very less because the material won't cross the maximum stress value so we should try to bring the material below point D and that we can do it by using the condition in which we use factor of safety so therefore we can say that permissible or working shear stress it will be given by tau permissible is equal to tau max that is the maximum shear stress divided by fos that is factor of safety next this same shear stress relation can also be written as therefore the permissible shear stress is also written as ultimate stress upon to into factor of safety because the value of shear stress is half of the value of yield stress so here I have replaced the maximum shear stress with the yield stress because yield stress is the maximum value of stress in case of ductile materials and hence here I can write down that maximum shear stress theory is used for ductile materials so here in this video we have seen what is meant by maximum shear stress theory

Romany Malco’s ‘Message to Trayvon Sympathizers’ earns kudos from Stacey Dash

http://twitter.com/#!/Robi5150/status/359106988023623681 Actor Romany Malco (“40-Year-Old Virgin,” “Weeds”) has written a “message to Trayvon Martin sympathizers” that has won applause from many on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/romanymalco/status/357595382907285506 In his article, Malco places much, but not all, of his focus on the media: Don’t you find it peculiar that the same media outlets who have worked so diligently to galvanize the negative stigmas of black men in America are now airing open debates on improving the image of black males in American media? Do you honestly think CNN is using their competitive time slots for philanthropy? “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” – Rahm Emanuel
