The pop icon, who died at the age of 57 on Thursday, was twice divorced with no children and under Minnesota law his estate would go to his only full sibling Tyka Nelson unless he left a will specifying otherwise. Prince Rogers Nelson was cremated at a modest white clapboard two-story building next to a freeway and a petrol station. The handful of of mourners included only Miss Nelson and her husband Maurice Phillips, both of whom dressed casually in black leather jackets.
Chronic stress. When stress starts interfering with your ability to live a normal life for an extended period, it becomes even more dangerous. The longer the stress lasts, the worse it is for both your mind and body. You might feel fatigued, unable to concentrate or irritable for no good reason, for example.
One type of stress that we are all used to is a uniform stress, called pressure. A uniform stress is a stress wherein the forces act equally from all directions. In the Earth the pressure due to the weight of overlying rocks is a uniform stress, and is sometimes referred to as confining stress. If stress is not equal from all directions then we say that the stress is a differential stress. Three kinds of differential stress occur. Tensional stress (or extensional stress), which stretches rock; Compressional stress, which squeezes rock; and; Shear stress, which result in slippage and translation. When rocks deform they are said to strain. A strain is a change in size, shape, or volume of a material. Stages of Deformation When a rock is subjected to increasing stress it passes through 3 successive stages of deformation. 1  Elastic Deformation -- wherein the strain is reversible. 2  Ductile Deformation -- wherein the strain is irreversible. 3  Fracture - irreversible strain wherein the material breaks.
