A sense of ‘déjà vu’ in March
As I quietly celebrate Women’s Month, marking over five decades of feminist awakening, I wonder whether we women have indeed come a long way. We mobilized mightily to have landmark bills passed (e.g., penalizing sexual harassment and violence against women), we have launched various advocacies, and we are more visible in the media and in the public sphere. But by the hard criteria of money, sex and power, where do Filipino women stand?
I oscillate between anger and despair when I track the reality of Filipino women’s lives by these measures. I believe the gender wage and salary gap is still ascendant (for reasons true then as now: women’s double burden, gender-based discrimination). The law affirming women’s reproductive health and rights remains in limbo at the Supreme Court. And, most telling of all, women who have dared the ramparts of politics are like Don Quixote tilting at windmills. Politics for many women is like walking barefoot on broken stones (to borrow from a poem). Ask Sen. Leila de Lima.
The March 8 “Women Defend Democracy” forum sponsored by Pilipina at Miriam College spotlighted three rising female politicians, nondynasts all and under siege. Senator De Lima is behind bars for speaking truth to power (on the issue of extrajudicial killings, or EJKs, not just now but way, way back); Vice President Leni Robredo has been rudely yanked out of the Cabinet, her daughters prey to the worst of
sexual cyberbullying; and Sen. Risa Hontiveros is paying the price of not joining the Congress bandwagon that has just passed brutal legislation.
But I wish to say a few words on Part 2 of the forum: on the Tondo youth theater group Sining Kabataan and on Inang Laya.
I watched the Tondo play on EJKs unfold with a sense of déjà vu. In the early 1970s our generation had to make a stark choice between fighting or being complicit with the dictatorship. Tondo youth and other urban poor (who have lost count of their dead, mere statistics in the war on drugs) have to make the same stark choice: Do I remain silent when someone is shot down like a dog, or do I fight in whatever way I can? The Tondo youth are using theater as a tool to shake people from complacency. In a way it is more difficult now because many Filipinos say amen to “killing a few and saving many,” never mind if the few are almost 8,000 and counting.
Inang Laya is the duo of Becky Demetillo Abraham and Karina Constantino David who stirred huge rallies long years ago with songs of tattered sovereignty, of invidious class structures, of gender constructs that cast women as virgin or whore, no in-between. Now in their 70s, Inang Laya should be taking it easy but they cannot say no to singing in protest because darkness once more hovers over the land.
In the 1970s the best and brightest of Filipino youth rose to fight the dictatorship. Later the women galvanized and mobilized for class, country and gender. We had to fight with all our strength and mind and soul, or there would be no future, or hope for a future.
Well past the new millennium, there is a call to arms once more, to youth, to women, to anyone who cannot countenance the killing of even one person. Lolas in Pilipina and elsewhere quicken to the call, feeling the anger and despair but unable to keep still or stay away because the stakes are too high.
Is it worth it? Can we stop creeping fascism in its tracks? Ang tao, ang bayan, ngayon ay lumalaban.
Victor Jara sings of committing to a journey without knowing its end. (Pinochet’s minions cut off his arms.) That is how it is with us women: We love someone without guarantees of forever, we do battle for country without knowing how it will all end because life without Inang Bayan, free and fair, is no life at all.
Jurgette Honculada is semiretired and has been involved at various times in the labor, women’s and peace movements. Pilipina is her base women’s organization.

Is she crying..AGAIN-
Shoot - I remember when you identified as a chicken nugget . you just keep making that money booboo !
how can u say that you struggle with this if u obviously dont experience dysphoria. ive met trans men who would rather DIE than wear clothes that present them as female. theres a difference between wanting to dress masculine and NEEDING to present male in order to calm the dysphoria. it eats at them and youre here invalidating them. its disgusting.
Your camera is not your therapist. AR-plus isn’t your therapist. I felt like this entire video was you talking to a therapist...go pay someone, hun. Educate yourself, work through your shit, and come out with a better apology video instead of trying to make this “therapy time”
EVERYONE STOP HATINGShe spills her guts out on the internet and all she gets is hateLet her be! AND LET HER BE HERSELF
so fake you should leave youtube for a while and learn some things
Trisha needs a real friend in her life where she can just be herself and stop caring.
I think the hatred comes from your standpoint of privlege right now. You know, like there's people like me out there that had to wear female clothing because there were no men's clothing at the shelter I was in, and I tried to kill myself and change when I couldn't take T anymore. There's people born into gangs who can't be out of the closet; so much repressed anger that they have and you don't deserve to be lashed out at.You sound really emotionally distressed, and my heart hurts for you.In the LGBTQ+, and in the trans* community especially you have to earn your stars to not get bothered by questioned by anyone. I was out as bisexual since grade 7 (25 now), and started transitioning in 12th grade. I never got questioned, but had some who told me I was too pretty, or didn't want me to. It's the whole wave of Tumblr gays, and trans* people that are making the community upset, because some of them are previous bullies. I think you need to read some feminist literature regarding gender, and explore what it means to be a woman to you. I don't want you to feel like you have to try to join our community because you feel vulnerable, alone, and dealing with misogynist men. It's so hard to be a strong woman in today's society and I hope you find yourself.
Sweety i think you have symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Please go see your psychiatrist
What a sincere apology video. 🤡🤢💀Well organized, and clear!ar-plus.info/vid/XoYt_6s5QfE-fydyw.html
You sound like you are pansexual and gender fluid my love...please research the terms
Do yall ever notice she makes controversial videos right before a drop of a music video trish is clever but it honestly gets so tiring seeing her repeat all the same cycles
Every damn time
What you are doing is making the Trans community look bad. If u want to support us watch trans AR-plusrs. Get educated. Stop doing publicity stunts for attention
And they say Aaron Carter is a Trainwreck... just saying
Stop talking about transgender. You're making it seem like a whim for people who have died because they were born like that. This is atrocious, you need a new therapist. How low can you go? Honestly
“LBGTK+” hun u good?
What confuses me is how the lgbt community preaches acceptance and how you can be anyone you want to be and when this person decides they want to be someone else they get shit for it. Wether it doesn’t fit into your box of what it means to be trans or non binary or what ever this is how this person feels and dare you be horrible just because it isn’t your typical gender identity crisis
we can't even know if they're trolling or not this is so sad
Is she mentally ill or on drugs?
I can't.... I just can't like ummmm what?
Wtf guys leave trish alone she's trying to find out who she is as a person. She's going through an identity crisis and yall just making her feel stupid, saying that she's crazy and wrong for feeling a certain way. This is disgusting.
i support you honey. im so sorry you have to deal with all this shit.lets get through this together.im so sorry, i love you, your feelings are valid
I only see things getting worse from here with Trisha. It's really sad that her mental illness is on display for the world to see. True friends and family, in her life, should really convince her to get OFF AR-plus.
It is 10000% okay to struggle with your gender identity. Just say you're confused and you feel different and talk about how you feel. For someone who allegedly doesn't like labels you're really quick to adopt them and prance around with them splashed on your shirt to fit in. Stop with the "i have boobs so I cannot be trans" that's not why you cannot be trans. You are confused and unsure. Figure it out or don't and just be YOU. Be yourself. You can be Non-Binary, you can be bi, you can be woman attracted to a feminine man who treats women right. But I sure am happy to hear you're going to a therapist. because that is 1000% where you need to be right now. The issue is you labeling yourself, not how you feel. do not make it into something it's not.
is it bad to say I kinda believe her?
Everyone, she is confused and hurt at the moment. What she doesn’t need right now is people telling her she’s attention seeking and an awful person. She needs support and love and help to figure this out.
you got courage leaving comments on (do not support this shit)
I don't need an umbrella. But girl are you having an identity crisis?
I'm all for exploring gender identity but if u don't have gender dysphoria your not trans, if u genuinely do I just wish u would've approached this a lot differently because things like this makes the transgender community look stupid and fake and being trans is already hard enough. I just really hope u figure this out and I hope ur happy with whatever is it outcome
T, i do believe that you truly believe you are a trans man, but PLEASE just go and do some actual research on what it means to be transgender and the difference between gender vs sexuality and being masculine vs being a man etc. just educate yourself, talk to some real life lgbt people and then come back and make another video when you actually know yourself what you think.
Trisha, I want you to know I still love you. Still your fan and still here for you.
Video apologizing but with 5 ads to get money, wtf girl man gay drag
this is genuinely one of the silliest apologies I've ever listened to because you don't even know what your apologizing for you should apologize for every single trans, masculine people, drag queens snd the entire lgbtq community for making a fool of yourself and thinking you knew what you were talking about, you need to do your research and talk to people before posting shit
6 months of therapy obviously wasn’t enough
This bitch really got me fucked up
Being trans isn't easy. When you come out (as you've probably found out) lots of hate comes from it. People dont accept it, and with such a drastic change people tend to lash out, its not something to crave being. If i could be cisgender, holy fuck i would do anything to be that.
"Im a transgender!" "I always related with transgenders!" I just wanna say, someone is trans. They are not A trans.
Shane! Where u at?
I think the reason you had so much backlash and hate is because a lot of the information you said was incorrect if you truly feel this way I think your gender fluid because in your last video you said that you think your male but you also a girl. You could be a demiboy if you actually feel like this.
Im not hating like some people im just want to say i think your maybe idk confused cause im bisexual and i was confused at first so i thought it over and i realize im not confused so im saying i think you should think about it and if you are for sure thats you transgender then go for it no ones stopping you
TAKE 👏🏾 A 👏🏾 BREAK 👏🏾 FROM 👏🏾 SOCIAL 👏🏾 MEDIA 👏🏾 YOU 👏🏾 ARE 👏🏾 AN 👏🏾 EMBARRASSMENT 👏🏾
This is getting ridiculous:( I love you trish please stop it’s not trendy.
If you say you hate being a girl then say that, dont mix that shit up by saying you're trans. Bcs you're born a girl and still is one. You're not transgender, you might be in your head but you're not. You can't just say that, like no way. I'm sorry you feel this way about yourself but hey, we didn't choose to be a girl. Shit sucks, I know for a fact bcs I'm a girl 🙄 anybody is allowed to dress the opposite sex. No one can stop you from that. But changing your outfit from girl to boy isn't transgender. Get that in your head. You just really need a break from all of this. From all social media and focus on yourself, build back up your confidence and love yourself even more.
This is my opinion, you don’t have to agree with it, I think Trisha should try to find herself first, and before spreading it onto the internet. Trisha needs to know what she is first, and if you spread on the internet while you are still confused, you will get some hate on that.
you don't have to convince us of anything, keep speaking your truth.
T I commented on the original video but I’ll do it here too. I know it’s confusing and I’m sorry about the hate that your receiving, I fully support you and I wish other people would understand that every situation is specific to the person. It’s okay to be confused and I really hope that you find yourself and that other people start taking you as what you are. You deserve to feel happy just like everyone else and nobody should take that away from you. Nobody has the right to tell you what you are and are not. I absolutely support and love you and I will no matter what you conclude about yourself.
what did she expect😂
I think you thought everyone was going to praise you for this ...when I was younger I hung out with mostly boys. Played gameboys and was left out of groups of girls because I ventured more towards ‘guy things’ and didn’t like wearing ‘girly clothes’ i wouldn’t call it transgender...it’s disrespectful to those who struggle on the daily and are coming to terms with their transitioning and the journey they go on with family and friends also. To put it down to clothes and make up is a bit much
She’s not a man. She’s a pussy.
what a fucking retard
So... She said she was transgender and she always hated Barbie's and dresses... Yet she said she was a gay drag queen bc she loves the GLAM... Sounds like she just contradicted herself.
She’s very lost in general and within herself as a person. I think she needs a lot of time off the internet and take a break to find and fix herself..
literally nobody said that you arent trans because you "look like a girl" we said you arent trans because what you described in your original video was not being trans.. it was being a fetishistic asshat. Thats why we're pissed. Now you've gone and done a little research and are changing your story. If you had actually always felt like a man and always felt dysphoric you would have said that in your original video as the reasons you feel trans rather than "I dont like makeup" and "I want male privilege" Sit down.
hey trish. i love you no matter what but right now i think you’re really lost and confused. not everyone needs a label and everyone’s gender issues are valid, but i really think you should maybe see a new therapist or find someone else to talk to. the reason you are getting so much hate is because your whole brand is pink and girly
i like how shee poot her laungerie on the tv like brooo be clean and than cry
her nail are like a lion king
does anyone actually cair about the video and not scrolling down the comment LOL
Drama queennn or drama kinggggg this is so fact up
imagin tresha beging a e_girl that well be the end of the world😂😂
broo who else noticed the backround like girl or boy idk what are you cleannnnn
who else is laughing of making nothing a big deal… anyone😟 oh just me😂
Girl shut yo dumb ass up.
Ok so here's the tea sisSTOP PLAYING THE VICTIM YOU AREN'T THE LGBT COMMUNITY IS PERIODT thank you for coming to my Ted talk...
genuinely wondering why people think she needs to be educated more on the trans community in order to identify as trans. yeah she seems to be giving 'weird reasons' as to why shes trans, but shes just saying it because the type of people on here, she feels like she has to explain herself. if yall are so woke about gender and gender stereotypes then why not just believe her when she says she looks like this but identifies as a man. and all the condescending comments telling her what she really should identify as. smh just let her live, yall care waaayyy too much about the details of this person's life, someone that you don't even know
You need to educate yourself
The lgbtq community is the most hateful. Spewing hate and in the same breath preach about equality.
she is really going thru this breakup hard
Shut, and I can't express this enough, the ever loving fuck up. You are not helping in any possible way the people that struggle with this every single day. I don't care if this is a troll or a way for your gross excuse of an existence to get views and clicks, but I honestly hope you disappear into obscurity where you belong.
When you start doing testosterone, get top surgery/start binding, chop off your hair and try to pass as a man people might believe you but right now you just sound dumb. You are crying on camera about being trans while showing your tits. You can't just claim to be trans and dysphoric while showing your breasts and not at all trying to pass.
No one is saying you're a women because of you body parts, it's the fact of what you're saying you're contradicting everything you say not even 10 seconds after saying it..
the lgbtq+ community is made of loving, kind but also sensitiv people that have been through hell and back because of their sexuality or gender. you can’t just throw terms that so many identify with. this terms are part of people lifes and they make them theyselfs. you have to educate yourself before you say something like this.
I like her tan.
If you were a transgender male, you wouldn’t refer to your female body parts as ‘boobs’ and ‘vagina’. I should know this since I myself am a trans male. If you really want people to believe you’re trans, then don’t have your chest out in a video, don’t where crazy nails, and change your clothing style and hair. People probably think you’re not trans because you are known for these trolling videos in the past. I am not trying to put you down, Trisha, but if you want people to believe you’re trans, stop the trolling videos, change up your style, and don’t refer to your female body parts as ‘boobs’ and ‘vagina’.If you are a trans male, and you’re dressing the way you are now, you would have soooo much dysphoria. I’m honestly just trying to help but like I said before if you want people to believe you’re trans then change up your look. But don’t do it unless you’re 100% sure about it.
You should have used better judgement to decide whether honesty was the most important thing in this case. You don't fully understand being transgender or the transgender community and going by this video it doesn't seem that you're really listening either. In your coming out video and in this video you have made many statements that spread misinformation and are actually harmful to the transgender community. If you actually watched the reaction videos made by trans people, you would see that they are genuinely trying to educate you and give you the benefit of the doubt. It seems to me that you rushed into posting about this online with little to no regard for the T in the LGBTQ Plus community you claim to love and respect. I appreciate that you are struggling and confused, and that you want to express things you're going through online in the hopes that it will reach somebody else, but these very early stages of figuring yourself out should be done offline. I hope that you will start paying attention to what the trans community is saying and find acceptance from other people in your personal life and for yourself.
Also this video shouldn't be monetized. Seems very disingenuous.
I would still fuck it
All I want to say is people are being too harsh on Trisha because she is confused. Yes She doesn’t know much about the lgbt community 🏳🌈 she is trying to understand and she is apologising for not knowing. I just don’t understand why people are being this rude to her. I have been with Trisha for a while now and just because she does not look like a male or trans in any way we should support her and give her (positive) feedback to help her along the way. Tbh in the last video were she was explaining what she classified as, yes it was very confusing what she was trying to explain but if she has multiple feelings about genders she could either be Transgender or gender fluid. I hope this made you feel better Trisha if you will ever read this and please leave better feedback in the comments. Have a nice rest of the day!!! =)
Nobody should get hate for coming out, y’all talk about pride and shit but when someone comes out y’all freak the fuck out smh
Nobody cares about you or your content. Get off the drugs lady
This is how every apology video starts
Whyyyy hasn't natural selection taken this broad out yet....?
This is repulsive. I've specifically been avoiding watching her 'apologies', but people in my life are associating ME, a Trans man with dysphoria, with her. I've fought so hard to be taken seriously and this, this sends me back to square one! I can't believe she's still doing this. She makes Trans people look like a joke. Cut the crap.
Trisha I love you but u need to take a break and figure it out and learn to love your self and work on your self esteem
You have boobs. And a vagina. You dress like a woman. YOUR A FEMALE
Trisha gotta admit that first of all I thought you did it for clout but second after a talk with someone who said you've been through aload of bad shxt.. I thought oh maybe your just really confused 😥 So sorry Trisha and so should be all them people
stop acting like you are all better than her. she tells everyone her deepest feelings and lets herself completely open to the public. what other youtuber is brave enough to be so vulnerable? stop attacking her for her simply trying to discover her/himself. this is so immature and rude, she expresses something so private and you all just bash on her and her deepest insecurity.
Plz watch trans AR-plusrs fine someone that is trans and talk to them about it
I'm sorry but I'm a trans guy and any one that was ftm trans would not show that much of there chest or be able to say the true things of what there body was with out hatting that they said it
You sound confused and scared. And I totally get why you wanted to come out and say it. But I think you need a firmer grasp of how to talk about it before making another video. My great breaks for you. And I know you mean well. I don't think the hate is necessary. But being educated and reaching out to trans people before coming out would have helped. I really do wish you the best.
she annoys me
Crocodile tears. Get help
Bish ur afucking womannnnnn
It would be interesting to see what the watch time is on most of these commenters. It's probably not long.
im sure tish is going through some horrible stuff and i know how it can feel to struggle with things like this. But she said uneducated things about the comminuty that werent right especially about thooes who are non binary
Wow. You didn’t know that the lgbtq community would give you hate for making the trans community look like clowns? Wow.
1.) don’t title this video “apology.” You didn’t apologize for shit besides a half-hearted “I’m sorry if I offended anyone.” Which isn’t apologizing for what you did, just that other people reacted negatively.2.) people aren’t mad cause you present feminine. They’re mad because the “symptoms” you described in your coming out video ARENT THE SYMPTOMS TRANS PEOPLE HAVE. You spread harmful messages about the lgbt community that are simply inaccurate. It’s as if you briefly looked up what a trans person was on urban dictionary, and made up the video from there. There are people who will look at that video, hear what you are saying, trust that you know what you’re talking about, and create an image of a trans person in their minds that misrepresents the community.The problem isn’t that we don’t believe you are feeling the things you are feeling, it’s that WHAT YOU ARE FEELING IS NOT HOW A TRANS PERSON FEELS. Your video is based off misinformation. Please, please stop and actually do research into what being trans really means, and how it actually effects people.

Poetry Competition Winner4 October, 2018
As National Poetry Day began to approach we launched a Poetry Competition for all of our foster children and birth children to take part in.
National Poetry Day is a UK wide celebration of poetry and all things poetical. It is about everybody sharing, reading, writing and enjoying poetry.
With this years theme being ‘change’ we asked the children to write about how foster care has changed their life for the chance to win a £10 voucher of their choice.
The competition winner, 15 year old foster child Holly shared a extremely powerful poem that documented the incredible changes that foster care has had on her life – she entitled the poem My New Life:
I was born in Romania, child number four
We lived in one room and we slept on the floor
The room was very dirty, it was damp and it smelt
Unfortunately those were the cards we were dealt
In my culture they’d do anything for money – even babies were sold
They only did it because they were hungry and cold
I don’t have many nice memories of us living there
Because we didn’t have anything and It didn’t feel fair
Then one day felt different, we caught a boat and a train
As we headed for England excitement flooded my brain
Maybe we’d now own a mansion and never be apart?
But I got that all wrong and that was only the start!
I could go on all day about the bad stuff I faced
But you’d be here for hours and it’s hardly the place
One day my world changed as the police met me from school
I was scared and confused – it was really uncool
That day I entered care, I was only 9 years old
Two strangers in front of me, “Your new family” I’m told
Long story short but it didn’t work then
After 2years i moved, “why me? It’s not fair”
Then when I met my new carers, i was really quite pleased
We clicked straight away, I felt completely at ease
I love how I can now, feel safe and secure
At first it felt strange – I’d never felt this before!
My new family’s great, I finally feel I belong
I love how they don’t judge me, even when I do things wrong
So thank you social services for rescuing me
I’m finally happy and feel like I’m free.
We’re delighted with the response we’ve had from our poetry competition. The poems we’ve received from children are mind-blowing.
It’s great for the children to reflect on the changes they’ve faced throughout their lives. Judging by the standard of poems, children have really shown an appetite for poetry and a willingness to deliver an accurate account of their childhood.
Holly’s poem particularly stood out as it truly demonstrates the impact fostering can have on a vulnerable child’s life. It also reinforces how valuable foster carers can be.

i have nothing to say about our current horrific national crisis that hasn't already been said. this post, about a dying shopping center, is my attempt to get my mind off it.
There's actually two real estate crises going on at once in California. There's the housing shortage, which everyone's painfully aware of - with homeless on the streets, and million-dollar houses in East Los Angeles. But there's also a the parallel crisis that's been festering with commercial real estate.
But first, let's talk about zoning law a little bit. Every last square inch of land in any California city is designated with a particular zoning type, which says what you can build on that land. If you've ever played SimCity, you know the most common divisions: houses in residential zones, offices/shops in commercial zones, factories and warehouses in industrial zones.
Some places, like Los Angeles, allow housing to be built in commercial zones, which is why the entire length of Wilshire Boulevard in LA has both apartment buildings and office buildings. But a lot of places don't allow residential buildings to be built in commercial zones at all. This rigidity has made a couple bad situations worse. By artificially limiting where where new housing can be built, it makes the housing crisis worse; it also means that dead shopping centers just sit there since the land can't be put to other purposes.
Commercial real estate was already in trouble pre-virus, because shoppers were switching to the Internet, and coronavirus only accelerated the process. If you drive down any major shopping street you'll see ghost towns as the shops and restaurants have slowly succumbed. Commercial offices have the same problem.
I'm going to use Woodland, CA as an example, a working-class suburb of Sacramento and my old high school rival. Like the rest of California, Woodland has a housing shortage. The average Woodland family makes $64,000 a year, but to afford a house you have to make $140,000.
Let's zoom in on the Woodland Crossroads shopping center. Woodland Crossroads is a classic example of an aging, dying strip mall. It was built in the mid-1980s, and even before the epidemic, the shopping center was struggling. The K-Mart and other major national retailers are long-gone, replaced with discount grocer Grocery Outlet and no less than three hardware stores. (When the shopping center got new owners three years ago, they advertised how the tenants were "online-resistant.") It sits on a 16-acre site - 5 acres of buildings, and 11 acres of parking lots.
The parking lot is generally pretty empty, because the shopping center is designed to handle a Black Friday crush at a K-Mart that no longer exists. This means there's a lot of land there that's just empty asphalt.
Let's say you keep the shopping center in place, and replace the parking lot with the kinds of small apartment buildings that are common in Midtown Sacramento, or Silver Lake in Los Angeles. At a standard density of 30 units per acre, that's 330 apartments - homes for 500 people - on the parking lot without touching the shopping center at all. Or, if you want to tear down the shopping center entirely, there's enough space for 480 units - enough to house 650 people.
There's only one problem with this: it's totally illegal. The area is zoned "community commercial," and it's illegal to build apartments there even though the shopping center is on its way out and the parking lot is sitting there, only mostly dead.
Because of the zoning, you're looking at a 2-3 year fight with the neighbors and the city council to get any apartments built on the site, which is an expensive and high-risk proposition. One shopping center's worth of apartments isn't that much in a vacuum - but when it's a process that repeats itself in every city in California, pretty soon you have the kind of generational housing crisis that we see today.
Fighting these battles block-by-block is a practical impossibility, so it's going to require changes at the state level. (Yes, there's a bill for that and it's called SB6.) In the real world, there's no real problem with allowing people to live near stores, or, heaven forbid, on top of stores, like people have done since time immemorial.

How can I find / measure the maximum force or pressure a 3D solid model can withstand (before going into deformation) with a given Youngs modulus and Poisson ratio in Ansys Workbench (version 18)?
September 10, 2018 at 11:49 ampeteroznewmanSubscriber
If you mean elastic deformation, that happens as soon as any force or pressure is applied, so the answer is zero.
If you mean plastic (permanent) deformation, that depends on the yield strength of the material. If the material is ductile, like most metals, then the von Mises equivalent stress is the quantity to compare with the yield strength to determine if the model is above or below the point of permanent deformation.
September 10, 2018 at 2:23 pmsujaysanjivSubscriber
My structural analysis professor once made a statement, "All things are springs" and we could not agree with him more. What he wanted us to understand, which he explained later, was that just like springs deform as soon as a load is applied to them, materials too exhibit the same behavior. The only reason this is not so obvious is that the strains we come across in common engineering materials subjected to service loads are of an order of magnitude too small to detect with the unaided human eye. For example, consider a metal frame bed that a person weighing 150 lbs sleeps on. The frame is designed to have adequate flexural stiffness so it does not bow too much and adequate strength so it does not break. The vertical deflection is impossible to detect with unaided eyes so we are under the impression that the bed will not 'deform' until load reaches a crititcal value. That is WRONG! As peteroznewman said, deformation happens immediately and it is the regime of deformation that decides whether the material will be able to recover (within elastic regime) or not (plastic regime). Hope this helps!

Thank you Mr. Peter and Mr. Sujay. I got a better understanding. Hence, I would like to re-frame the question.
How can I find the maximum force or pressure required by a 3D solid model (non ductile and brittle) to reach the break point or fracture point with a given Youngs modulus and Poisson ratio in Ansys Workbench (version 18)?
September 10, 2018 at 5:26 pmpeteroznewmanSubscriber
Brittle materials are interesting to try to predict when they will fracture.
The load that a given structure will fail with a fracture depends on two things.
One is the size of a flaw in the material or an initial surface crack. Every real structure has built in flaws in the material or small surface cracks. The other thing is a material property called Fracture Toughness.
The classic example is a glass rod. Take a quarter inch smooth glass rod and hang weights from it until it fractures. It will carry a huge load. Now take another glass rod and some fine grit sandpaper and sand that rod a little and apply the load. The sanded rod will fracture at a much lower load.
With the Fracture Toughness material property and the depth of the initial crack, you can calculate the load at which that initial crack will suddenly fracture across the whole part.
ANSYS allows you to insert a Fracture branch in your model that will allow you to put a crack in your geometry, and a Fracture Tool to insert in the Solution branch to analyze the results of the load on that crack to calculate the Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) and compare it with the Fracture Toughness.
I recommend you study Fracture Mechanics before you use these tools.
What if you don't know the Fracture Toughness of the material?
If you only know the Ultimate Tensile Strength of the material, then a simple method is to plot the Maximum Principal Stress. If the Maximum Principal Stress is greater than the Ultimate Tensile Strength, then you predict that fracture has occurred, if it is less, you have not.

Tow Truck Fairfield Vic
Different Kinds Of Towing Services Available In Fairfield
If you own a vehicle or you drive one, then it is practically certain that you will require the services of a tow truck in Fairfield at some time. Vehicles are possibly one of the greatest human innovations however as useful as they might be they are prone to developing issues now and then.
Prior to requiring a tow service, it will be very important for you to determine the type of tow vehicle you want depending upon the circumstance. This is due to that fact that there are various sort of tow vehicles, and every one of them can be used for various scenarios. The following are the 3 popular types of tow vehicles.
Flat-Bed Towing Fairfield
This tow vehicle is also commonly referred to as the “slide” or “rollback” tow truck. It is fitted with a hydraulically inclined bed that can be lowered to ground level. The car being hauled is then driven or pulled onto the bed. When the car is protected, the bed is then adjusted to a driving position.
The Flatbed is the most popular type of tow vehicle particularly for emergency situations as it causes minimum damage on the cars and truck. Instead of dragging the car behind the tow truck carries it on its flatbed. Besides from cars, the Flatbed can also be used to tow other equipment like little boats and motorbikes.
Hook and Chain Towing Services Fairfield
The Hook and Chain tow truck is probably the oldest kind of tow truck, and it has actually remained in use for practically as long as the automobiles. It is also the least expensive and most easily offered type of tow truck. The Hook and Chain tow truck utilizes a hook and chain just as the name recommends for lifting and dragging the automobile. The tow truck connects to the axle or frame of the automobile from behind using chains. The chains are then used to raise the rear part of the automobile for simple dragging.
Although these types of tow trucks are the oldest, they are not utilized as frequently as they were utilized years earlier because of the damage that they cause to the car. However, they can still be utilized if the automobile is currently severely damaged or in emergency situation scenarios when you do not have adequate money to pay for much better options.
Unlike the Flatbed, the Wheel-Lift tow truck lifts your vehicle by the wheels and then drags it from behind. The Wheel Lift if fitted with a metal yoke and a hydraulic system to help raise your automobile either on the front or rear tires. Sometimes, dolly wheels can be mounted on the trailing wheels so that all the car wheels are off the ground.
These tow trucks have actually replaced hook and chain trucks in the past couple of years because they trigger lesser damage to your car. However, they are still not as safe as the Flatbed however are also more economical. This type of tow truck is used mostly when you want to lessen the damage to your car, and you do not have sufficient cash to pay for the Flatbed tow truck.
What To Think About When Selecting 24/7 Towing Service In Fairfield
Action time: Cars tend of breaking down when you least expect and at the incorrect time for example when you are late for work or an important conference. Due to this you will require a business that can respond within an extremely brief period. Although the majority of tow companies react really quick, sometimes it is never quickly enough. To make sure that the action time is quick enough, you ought to choose a local roadside assistance business.
Services: Besides from the tow service what other services does the company offer? This is an essential question to ask your prospective tow provider prior to settling for them. An excellent company should offer you other important services like roadside support.
Schedule: In the towing company schedule of the provider will be figured out by the number of tow trucks the business has and the variety of customers they serve. No matter how excellent the company might be it will just benefit you if their services are available when you require them.
The cost of the service: The expense of the service will depend upon the type of tow truck utilized and the range that your automobile will be hauled. As a car owner what matters more is the security of your vehicle and so instead of constantly going for the most inexpensive service you must opt for one that offers you value for your money. This means the more you pay, the much better the service you get. However, a great business will always charge you relatively while still ensuring your vehicle reaches its location with very little damages.

That would be a simpler, more elegant solution, but it may have a problem. The distance fron the top of the board to the roof of my car at the rear is about 7" - at that depth, the spokes of the wheel are wider than the tire and would rest against the wood. Would that be likely to damage the spokes? In any case, I think I'd want something to tie the rear down so it doesn't pop out - some kind of latch across the slit would do it, I think. It's something someone should take a crack at to see how it works - maybe collectively we can come up with a universally perfectimoneous design!

JUPITERS Casino has been put on notice to lift its game after the State Government announced overnight that Broadwater cruise terminal proponent ASF Consortium has been awarded the city’s second casino licence.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate this afternoon welcomed the government decision which could see tourism projects worth a combined $15.6 billion kicked off in both the Gold Coast and Cairns.
While the ink has yet to dry on the approvals, the pro-casino Gold Coast Mayor has called on Jupiters to bring its offering up to scratch in order to meet the new competition head on.|
“My attitude has always been that, in a free market, a monopoly is not a wonderful thing – it makes them fat and lazy,” Tate says.
“With competition, Jupiters now has to roll up their sleeves and bring their standard up to five-star-plus again so they can be the envy of Australia.”
The State Government has awarded the Gold Coast casino licence to ASF Consortium and the Cairns licence to Aquis as part of its plans to roll out new casinos across the State to boost tourism and employment.
Aquis is planning an $8.15 billion integrated resort and casino at Yorkeys Knob, just north of Cairns, while ASF has set its sights on a $7.5 billion cruise ship terminal, resort and casino for Wave Break Island on the Southport Broadwater.
“The Queensland Government has identified that these projects have the greatest capacity to deliver the requirements for an integrated resort development in the regions, particularly the potential to attract interstate and international tourists as both these centres have international airports,” says Jeff Seeney, the Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning.
The decision brings the Broadwater project a step closer, despite continued criticism from some sectors within the community and from some councillors.
Tate says the State Government’s casino announcement “means that a cruise ship terminal will be delivered here without burden on the ratepayers”.
“It means future dredging of the Broadwater also will not burden ratepayers.
“But, above all, it is a great economic boost for tourism and construction and future jobs for generations to come.”
Tate says the majority of people on the Gold Coast are “looking forward to delivery of this project”.
“It’s good for the city and I congratulate the State Government for giving it the green light at this time.
“This is a project for the whole of city, in fact the whole of Queensland.”
Tate says it is now up to the ASF Consortium to ensure that the environmental boxes of this project are ticked.
“That’s going to be their next challenge.”
ASF Consortium project director Allan Fife agrees, adding that engineering issues also have to be addressed.
However he says the consortium is confident of achieving both.
“Today’s announcement is a welcomed step in the process but we’re still focused on the considerable amount of work there is to do in terms of environmental and technical studies and further community consultation,” Fife says.
The consortium comprises the Australian listed investment company ASF Group (ASX: AFA), China State Construction Engineering Co Ltd, which is the world’s third largest construction company, and CCCC Guangzhou Dredging Co Ltd, a significant player in dredging and land reclamation for major projects.
Meanwhile, Tate sees the prospect of a major new tourism drawcard in Cairns as no threat to the Gold Coast.
“I’ve never seen Cairns as a threat to our city,” he says. “In fact, Cairns adds value to our city. If someone is going to go to all the effort to go to Cairns from Asia, it’s only an hour-and-a-half to the Gold Coast (from there).
“As far as our city is concerned this will add value to our tourism infrastructure. It will increase tourism.”
THE timing could not have been worse, but Jupiters Casino has hosed down suggestions that managing director Aaron Gomes has quit his post in the wake of the Gold Coast being granted a second casino licence.

Multi-faceted artist Common will make his Broadway debut in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Between Riverside and Crazy later this year. According to Deadline, the seasoned actor/MC landed the role of Junior, and the cast is set to start performances on November 30 at Second Stages Hayes Theatre in New York City.
“This has been a dream of mine for a very long time to act in a play, to do theater, and to be a part of a theater company,” Common shared on Instagram. “I am supremely grateful and overwhelmingly inspired to be a part of Between Riverside and Crazy. I can’t wait to begin this process and to live this journey.”
He added: “When I got this role, I called my mother like I had gotten my first record contract. Haha! It was that much joy.”
View this post on Instagram
Directed by Austin Pendleton, Between Riverside and Crazy will put Common in the running for an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) title. In 2015, Common and John Legend won a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and an Academy Award for Best Original Song for “Glory” from the 2014 film Selma.
He also won an Emmy Award in 2016 for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for “Letter To The Free,” which he contributed to Ava DuVernay documentary 13th. As a result, Common became the first rapper in history to win an Emmy, Grammy and Oscar.
Eminem is one award away from earning the EGOT distinction as well, thanks to his Creative Arts Emmy win for the Super Bowl LVI Pepsi Halftime Show. Slim Shady, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Mary J. Blige won the trophy in the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) category on September 3.
Only 17 artists have achieved what is referred to as a “Grand Slam” and Common could be next in line. The play officially opens on December 19.

text: Three emerging companies with prospects of new technology that could better the world were winners at the fifth annual TECH Fort Worth IMPACT awards announced May 15. The awards – designed to increase awareness about entrepreneurial activity in North Texas – were presented at a luncheon on the campus of Texas Christian University. The awards are granted to early-stage businesses commercializing innovative products or services that will have a significant impact on the environment, health care and on the community. The IMPACT Awards also raises funds to support business incubation programs for technology-based entrepreneurs. “I am always amazed at the ingenuity and courage of entrepreneurs like those who apply for the IMPACT Awards,” said TECH Fort Worth Executive Director Darlene Ryan. “It is a special privilege to work with these company founders, helping them to hone their messages to the world.” Keynote speaker for the awards luncheon was Jasper Welch, the new chief executive officer and president of the National Business Incubation Association, who spoke about the importance of entrepreneurs and startup enterprises. Welch told the crowd of about 350 that “company creation equals job creation. And company creation means innovation creation.” “Entrepreneurs can be (somewhat crazy). But those crazy people come up with successful ideas,” he said. He added that the success rate of incubation graduates three years later is 87 percent. “Some of them are doing amazing things,” he said. “Go meet some of them and invest in their companies.” Pulsar Energy won in the energy/environment category for its technology to harness the power of the sun. Its systems provide a modular and scalable solution for any size distributed power generation. Pulsar’s patented Concentrated Solar Power technology can reach an estimated 4.5 cents/kWh without incentives, a cost typical of fossil fuel-based systems. The other finalists were AutoEvolve and iLumi. Student Success Academy won in the community category. SSA is an elite, virtual success-consulting agency that pairs high school students with top-tier college students for guidance in college, career and life. High school students gain confidence in their future, recognize their passions, identify college and career options, hone important skills and develop a personalized plan focused on their aspirations. The other finalists were Create Labs and Inception Lighting. Applied Regenerative Technologies, which focuses on restoring nerve function after trauma, tumor resection or neurological disease, won in the health category. Its products are bio-engineered to control the regeneration of nerves and were developed by a coordinated effort between physicians and scientists to improve the clinical outcomes for hundreds of thousands of patients per year around the world. The other finalists were eMist and MedHab. The finalists were selected by three panels of judges from the 24 presenters during “Pitch Days” hosted March 26-April 4. Pitch Day hosts were Sabre Holdings, University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute and University of North Texas Health Science Center.

Images from Powerful 1968 Photo Essay by Leonard Freed Provide a Visual Chronicle of Life During Civil Rights Era
December 9, 2014
Exhibition accompanies presentation of rarely seen works by Gordon Parks
ATLANTA, Dec. 9, 2014 – Alongside the works on view in “Gordon Parks: Segregation Story,” the High Museum of Art presents selected prints from celebrated photographer Leonard Freed’s multi-year documentary project and 1968 book “Black in White America.”
From 1963 through 1966, Freed traveled across the U.S. capturing images of the Civil Rights era, from rural scenes in the South to daily life on New York City streets and political protests in Washington, D.C. This journey culminated in Freed’s landmark photo essay, which endeavored to present a view of African-American life across the nation during the struggle for racial equality. “Leonard Freed: Black in White America,” on view Nov. 15, 2014 through June 7, 2015, features 38 black-and-white images by Freed that collectively serve as an aesthetic and topical complement to the rarely seen color prints from Parks’ 1956 Life magazine photo essay “The Restraints: Open and Hidden.”
“‘Black in White America’ is a visual diary with a moral purpose,” said Brett Abbott, the High’s Keough Family curator of photography. “Penetrating the fabric of daily existence, his work portrays the common humanity of a people persevering in unjust circumstances. Freed’s sensitive and empathetic approach sought not to stimulate outrage but to foster understanding and bridge cultural divides as a means of transcending racial antipathy. As such, his deep and evocative exploration of America’s collective past continues to resonate today and is remembered as a pivotal project in the evolution of socially engaged documentary photography.”
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., to a working-class Jewish family, Freed began taking photographs in Europe in the early 1960s, later finding great success as a documentary photojournalist in the U.S. The “Black in White America” project began with Freed photographing African-American neighborhoods around New York City in 1963 before purchasing a car to travel throughout the South, where he captured images of the daily lives of African-Americans in North Carolina, South Carolina and Louisiana. Freed published those photographs and others from his travels with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in “Black in White America,” which solidified Freed’s place among the best photographers of the Civil Rights era.
The photographs in the exhibition are presented on loan from Brigitte Freed, the artist’s widow who worked closely with her husband on the project. Freed’s works have previously been on view at the High in installations of the Museum’s extensive collection of Civil Rights era photography, which is one of the most significant in the nation and features six prints by the artist.
About Leonard Freed
Freed (1929-2006) was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., to a working-class Jewish family. Drawn to the arts, Freed initially aspired to be a painter. However, while traveling in the Netherlands in 1953, he discovered his passion for photography, which was further strengthened as he traveled throughout Europe and Africa. In 1958, Freed relocated to Amsterdam and began documenting life in the Jewish community there. He frequented Germany, developing his vision as a documentary photographer while grappling with his own identity as an American Jew. During this time, Freed encountered an African-American soldier standing at the edge of the American sector of West Berlin. The scene, for Freed, seemed emblematic of the social division found in the U.S. Upon his return to New York, Freed immersed himself in local African-American communities by attending religious gatherings, protests and other urban engagements. This initial work and his subsequent travels throughout the U.S. culminated in “Black in White America,” for which he received great acclaim. Freed joined Magnum photo agency in 1972. During the course of his career, Freed also made four films for Japanese, Dutch and Belgian television and published 12 books relating to important world issues. Freed died in Garrison, N.Y., on Nov. 30, 2006.
About “Gordon Parks: Segregation Story”
“Gordon Parks: Segregation Story,” presented in collaboration with The Gordon Parks Foundation, features more than 40 of Parks’ color prints – most on view for the first time. The trailblazing African-American artist and filmmaker captured the photographs for a powerful and influential 1950s Life magazine article documenting the lives of an extended African-American family in segregated Alabama. The series represents one of Parks’ earliest social documentary studies on color film.
Following the publication of the Life article, many of the photos Parks shot for the essay were stored away and presumed lost for more than 50 years until they were rediscovered in 2012 (six years after Parks’ death). Though a small selection of these images has been previously exhibited, the High’s presentation brings to light a significant number that have never before been displayed publicly.
The High will acquire 12 of the color prints featured in the exhibition, supplementing the two Parks works – both gelatin silver prints – already in the Museum’s collection.
As the first African-American photographer for Life magazine, Parks published some of the 20th century’s most iconic social justice-themed photo essays and became widely celebrated for his work in black-and-white photography, the dominant medium of his era. The photographs that Parks created for Life’s 1956 photo essay “The Restraints: Open and Hidden” are remarkable for their vibrant color and their intimate exploration of shared human experience.
“Gordon Parks: Segregation Story” Organization and Support
“Gordon Parks: Segregation Story” is organized by the High Museum of Art in collaboration with The Gordon Parks Foundation. Support for this exhibition is provided by The Coca-Cola Company. Additional support provided by leading corporate sponsors and benefactors for the 10th annual David C. Driskell Prize dinner held on May 2, 2014.

On Thursday morning, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed suit against the National Rifle Association and current and former executives for violating New York charities law, following an investigation that began in April 2019. In addition to seven figure financial payments from former executives named as defendants, the complaint also seeks dissolution, meaning that if the suit is successful, the NRA could be disbanded by the State of New York — a process that would make it very difficult for the organization to rebuild, even in another state.
According to opensecrets.org, the NRA has spent $305,853 supporting Sen. McSally over the course of her career. In the wake of Thursday’s announcement, below are three questions reporters should consider asking:
- What is Sen. McSally’s reaction to the allegations against the NRA, including that it is “fraught with fraud and abuse”?
- Does Sen. McSally believe these allegations raise questions about the judgment or motivations of the people setting the NRA’s policy agenda?
- Does Sen. McSally continue to believe the NRA’s extreme agenda represents the interests of most Arizona gun owners – despite polling that affirms that gun safety is a winning issue across the state, and that opposing background checks on all gun sales is one of the most toxic positions a candidate for office can take in the eyes of Arizona voters.
A detailed history of the AG’s investigation and the NRA’s other litigation can be found here on NRAWatch.org.
Responses to Thursday’s announcement from Everytown and from Moms Demand Action are available here. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to request an interview.

|Action||Promulgation of new regulation banning concealed firearms in executive branch agency offices|
|Comment Period||Ends 1/27/2016|
When a citizen receives their permit and begins to carry a firearm, something happens that makes your action here unnecessary. The realization that you are carrying something on your body, that has the power to take a life, makes a good citizen a great citizen. Now you cannot allow yourself to get into a conflict that could escalate into something more. Now you cannot drive in an unsafe manner...ever. Now you are more alert to possible dangers, and have an even greater respect for law enforcement. This is the mindset of every concealed carry permit holder, no matter what state they reside in. Please do not do this. If I am in dangerous situation where there is a criminal with a gun present, and a permit holder from another state is here visiting, I want that person to be able to intervene (legally) until the authorities arrive. I would be glad to talk to you about this in greater detail. Thank you for your valuable time.

One of the earliest stories I wrote was called "Hitler Again" about a man who used genetically modified slaves to turn the moon into a giant cannon to kill millions of people and conquer the world. Later, I learned how Hitler wasn't unique. There have been many tyrants who murdered tens of millions of people throughout history. Mao starved 60 million of his own people to death because he thought they would rather have steel mills they didn't know how to use instead of farms. Stalin killed 40 million of his own people building an evil empire, 20 million to defeat Hitler, and 2 million Ukranians when he surrounded their country and tried to starve all Ukranians to death because he thought they were ethnically inferior (but we don't hear about that). Timur killed 14 million people during his quest to conquer the world, claiming to be sent from God but murdering millions of fellow Muslims who happened to belong to the wrong sect, and Hindus he felt were heathens. He wanted to kill millions of heathens, and sought guidance on whether he should slaughter all of India or all of China, and India was closer.
It's bad enough we don't hear about historic killers, instead being told that communism is great and capitalism is evil and exploitative. Another tragedy of propaganda is the murder of tens of millions of people who have not been born because lies are told that they aren't people and that it's about women's choice. If it's about women's choice where is then, logically, only males can be aborted indiscriminantly, because they have no choice. If it's about women's choice why is it that most of the people who oppose abortion are woman and most of the people who support it are men? Why is it that rich white men stand the most to benefit, all multi-millionaires who don't give a damn about women, just themselves? Why is it that the list of people waiting to adopt grows by the thousands every year, yet those in power say abortion is the only option?
Gianna Jessen survived abortion and is an outspoken critic, pointing out the lies and hypocrisy. Don't believe what the powers that be tell you. Don't believe what I tell you. Listen to first-hand testimony of someone who knows the truth about abortion from direct experience and then find out for yourselves.

Football players can have a variety of musculoskeletal injuries. Many football injuries can be treated with chiropractic adjustments.
Types of Injuries
The high speed and impact nature of football leads to many sports injuries. Some of the sport trauma includes head injuries, back injuries, severe upper back pain, a stinger injury, and even paralysis, such as with the Eric LeGrand injury. In 2010, Eric LeGrand “collided with the ball carrier” and “suffered a severe spinal injury”. Having initial paralysis from the neck down, and unable to breathe on his own, LeGrand eventually became able to move his shoulders again and regained sensation throughout his body, although he was still unable to walk years later.1 Football players can also experience a “burner” or “stinger” injury. This problem occurs in the nerves that provide feelings to the hands and arms. These nerves originate in the neck (cervical) spinal cord and pass under the collar bone to the shoulder. Making a hard hit with the shoulder, such as in football, drives the shoulder down and makes the neck bend to the opposite side, stretching or compressing the nerves. The sensation that occurs as a result is like “an intense discharge of electricity” that shoots down the arm. Afterwards, the arm will have weakness, and there may be burning, tingling, or stinging. Pain may be temporary, but the weakness may endure for weeks or years, with rare situations of permanent damage. Immediate assessment and treatment are required, especially if damage to the spinal cord is involved.2 Other typical football injuries may be traumatic, such as concussions, knee and shoulder injuries, as well as overuse injuries (low back pain, tendinitis), and heat injuries. Some injuries can be prevented by warming up, cooling down, staying hydrated, having well-check examinations, staying fit and active during breaks, wearing proper equipment, following proper tackling procedures (not leading with the helmet), and letting the athletic trainer and medical professionals know about any medical and safety concerns.3
Football Injuries and Chiropractic Adjustments
Back injury treatment may be alleviated with chiropractic care. Chiropractors have treated professional athletes for many years. There is even a Professional Football Chiropractic Society (PFCS).4 In fact, “The average pro football chiropractor renders 30 to 50 treatments per week during the season”.5 One chiropractor, Dr. Alan Sokoloff, D.C., D.A.C.B.S.P. or “Dr. Sok”, noted that being a chiropractor for the NFL is “a very grueling job” that “requires ultimate focus…for the unexpected”.6 Most serious football injuries are a result of “axial compression of the cervical spine”. Players need to be educated on how spinal injuries are caused. It is crucial that players “keep their head up during contact”. Chiropractors can help athletes with neck strengthening, including flexibility exercises. They can provide education and adjustments.7

ANYONE WANNA LISTEN TO PANTERA WITHOUT LISTENING TO PANTERA?
Pros and cons of streaming the new Throwdown album, Deathless:
- As is so often the case with Throwdown, they sound an awful lot like Pantera. And that band’s argument that Pantera were AWESOME, so why wouldn’t you want to sound like Pantera?, is a valid one, as long as you don’t place too high a premium on originality. So, like their last album, Tears & Venom, Deathless is a forgettable, but by no means horrible, confection for those of us who are still mourning the loss of Dimebag.
- The dudes in Throwdown, at least in my very limited experience with them, seem like nice dudes, and there’s something to be said for supporting nice dudes in an industry full of d-bags.
- For at least the second record in a row now, the band is working with producer Mudrock, who also worked on a lot of Godsmack albums. And now vocalist Dave Peters is starting to sound an awful lot like Sully Erna – who I fucking hate. My Pantera never needed a dose of Godsmack, fuck you very much.
- It’s the least heavy Throwdown album ever. I know that it’s really a cliché to bitch about a band becoming less heavy, but it’s not like Throwdown were ever gonna be Muse – either write an honest to goodness awesomely catchy radio hit, or go back to creating music that makes me wanna punch an adorable monkey in the face.
- It sounds exactly like Pantera – and we have to place at least some value on originality, don’t we?
Deathless comes out November 10 on E1.

Copper has been used as a material for bathtubs since ancient times. This is due to its unique properties, which make it an ideal choice for creating luxurious and durable bathtubs. Hammering copper is one of the most popular techniques used to create beautiful hammered copper bathtubs. The reason for this is that it adds texture and character to the copper, making it look more attractive and luxurious. Moreover, hammering also increases the strength of the copper, making it more durable and resistant to damage.
Copper is one of the most popular materials used for making bathtubs due to its unique properties. It is a durable metal that is resistant to corrosion and is known for its ability to retain heat. But what makes copper bathtubs stand out from other materials is the process of hammering them, which gives them an elegant look and feel.
The reason behind hammering copper for bathtubs lies in its malleability and strength. Hammering copper sheets creates a unique texture that adds depth and dimension to the finished product. This also helps to create a more secure bond between the copper sheets, making it stronger than if it was just welded together. Additionally, hammering copper also helps to reduce air pockets which can cause leaks in the long run.
Copper has been used for centuries to create bathtubs that are both beautiful and durable. The process of hammering copper is an age-old tradition that dates back to the time of the Egyptians. This technique is still used today, as it lends a unique look and feels to copper bathtubs. Hammering copper bathtubs creates a unique patina that cannot be replicated with any other material. It also helps strengthen the metal and makes it more resistant to corrosion, making hammered copper bathtubs a great choice for bathrooms in humid climates. Additionally, hammering copper gives the tubs an interesting texture that adds visual interest to any bathroom design.
