The Black Dahlia Murder and D&D: An Interview
Category Dungeons & Dragons
Category Open Gaming
Thread starter Egg Embry
Death metal band, The Black Dahlia Murder, is bringing Dungeons & Dragons to their ninth studio album, Verminous. To promote their latest album, they commissioned Dungeonpunx to craft the Depths of Drasted RPG Box Set based on their title track and cover art. Available as a limited edition boxed set with dice, DM screen, and more, or as a standalone adventure for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, it was innovative enough that Darryl Mott covered it. I was able to get an interview with Trevor Strnad, lead vocalist of The Black Dahlia Murder, about D&D, what song Rifts informed, and why they chose to create an RPG adventure.
EGG EMBRY (EGG): Thank you for taking the time to talk with me. Your ninth album, Verminous, drops today. To promote it, you're offering a limited edition boxed set featuring the CD, a 24-page adventure for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, a DM's screen, dice, maps, and more. Of all the promotions you could choose, why a D&D adventure and box set?
TREVOR STRNAD (TS): We've flirted with doing a dice set and dungeon master's screen combo for a few albums now. It wasn't until Verminous that we decided to take the full leap and have a one-off adventure custom made. I played a lot of D&D in my formative years and I feel like it's imagery led me to discovering metal music… the similarities were there. I think in the metal scene in particular there is a lot of crossover. We wanted to do something unique that would excite fans and bring another dimension of fandom to the release. It's really taken on a life of its own!
EGG: The adventure is "based off the title track and album cover". Did you know "Verminous" would be a dungeon crawl before you wrote it?
TS: No sir, I had no idea. I approached it like any other album… just writing what I felt to write on a song by song basis. I do think that this particular album cover does lend itself to the roleplaying world quite nicely and there are a couple of songs on the album sharing subterranean and rat filled themes that might help set the stage.
EGG: Are the members of The Black Dahlia Murder tabletop gamers?
TS: No sir, although I am scheduled to come out of D&D retirement soon. I haven't played since the TSR days. 2nd Edition was my jam. I also used to play Rifts with my high school friends. An image from a Rifts book actually informed one of the song topics for the album ("Removal Of The Oaken Stake") in which a vampire regenerates back to life after having the stake pulled from his skeleton. I have deeply missed roleplaying.
EGG: Meet-and-greets are a great way for fans to shake hands with their favorite bands. Likewise, at tabletop RPG conventions, there's a chance for gamers to play a session with their favorite game designers. Do you foresee a day where TBDM does a meet-and-greet-and-game?
TS: Well, what I meant about coming out of retirement is that Brian Eschbach (guitar) and I are being flown out to California to play our dungeon, Depths of Drasted, one-off live on a podcast with some fans which is going to be really fun. It's going to be videoed and edited into a segment. I'm sure it'll be entertaining.
EGG: I'm looking forward to checking that out! The CD and RPG boxed set sold out quickly. Are there any plans to offer the adventure in another format?
TS: We printed two different runs of 500 with dice and the DM screen, but logistics and time constraints wouldn't allow us to do any more with those items and be able to deliver them to the fans by street date, so we made a more stripped down version with just the adventure booklet and character sheets. We were a little bummed with the compromise but at least more people are able to get the one-off.
EGG: Verminous is just coming out and your focus is doubtlessly on bring that album to your fans, but do you feel that you'll create more RPG tie-ins like the Depths of Drasted?
TS: This has been coming up a lot already. It's hard to say! I don't know what the future will hold for TBDM and roleplaying.
EGG: Thank you for talking with me about this. I'm looking forward to Verminous and, I hope, getting to play Depths of Drasted. You're headed out on tour, correct? I hope to see you when you swing through Atlanta.
TS: Yessir! I'd like that too! Thanks for having me!

Unfortunately the Boxed Set and adventure links are 404. However, thanks to Pun Isaac for sharing an updated link to the digital version of the adventure.
I'd like that frontman to rethink the glasses. Maybe get some little tinted round ones, like Ozzy. I mean, ideally, you'd just get rid of your eyes if they are weak, and just have the empty sockets, and the audience would stare into them and the emptiness would stare back, but the Ozzy glasses would be a reasonable compromise.

Very cool. TBDM is one of the best bands on the planet.

I think the majority of people would associate John Lennon with those type of glasses before Ozzy.

Today one the best promotion for music is the AMV (anime media video) in youtube.
R_J_K75 said:
Quite right, but in the context of heavy metal, I'm hopeful it would read as more of an Ozzy thing.
Reactions: Eyes of Nine, Birmy and R_J_K75
I had thought of that. Its pretty well known that Ozzy decided he wanted to get into music after seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan.

Would someone please explain to me why metal uses medieval/fantastic imagery? That makes as much sense as playing classical music in a sci-fi. Oh, wait...
Oh, Black Sabbath was going for a particular vibe back around 1970, and others followed. I just ended up putting together a little playlist to listen to while I read Primeval Thule, for that old-school swords-and-sorcery feeling . . . <iframe src="Spotify" width="300" height="380" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" allow="encrypted-media"></iframe>

Just a guess but Id assume its probably because a large part of the fan base of RPGs, sci-fi fantasy and metal are the same?

Everything's Fine
I do remember the first time I listened for real to the lyrics of Led Zep's Ramble On and heard them mention Mordor and Gollum.
Some may argue that Led Zeppelin isn't heavy metal. So many hard rock and prog rock bands from the 70's had themes that dovetailed into the themes Fantasy fiction - mostly informed by LotR; as opposed to say, Elric or Vance.
But those themes of loss of a golden past; merciless, colossal and powerful enemies and monsters; destruction, magic and chaos - all of those fed into the zeitgeist from which metal arose.
I mean, check out the Caravan (#10) and Yes (#3) album covers. And Hawkwind (#7) bassist Lemmy of course went on to create Motorhead.

I would go so far as to say Metal was directly informed by Fantasy fiction. Without fantasy, I am not sure metal would be, well, METAL.

How many people were wowed by an album cover only to be severely disappointed by the music? Ive heard a few horror stories.
I would actually love to see a band that really committed to an old-school D&D meets old-school metal aesthetic.
Didnt DIO already do that 35 years ago.

Dio's lyrics had all kinds of fantasy references but I've never seen-heard-read anything that suggests he played D&D or any other RPGs.

Elizabeth Erlandson, left, and Ardith Stuertz own Haymarket sweets shop Licorice International.
When Elizabeth Erlandson's husband wanted licorice — and not just any licorice, the kind his mother had been ordering for her sons from a Manhattan-based international seller for years — she did him one better, and bought the whole company.
Joined by her best friend and trusted business partner, Ardith Stuertz, the two took over what would become Lincoln's extremely successful sweets shop in the Haymarket, Licorice International.
Nightingale tells the story of a man in Africa who owns a farm and hears that there are diamonds in Africa, so he sells his farm to set out to find them, impoverishing himself in his search. The man that he sells the farm to ends up finding diamonds all over the farm — he was sitting on the Kimberly Diamond Mine.
Licorice International quickly outgrew its home office and moved to a small location at College View. In 2005, the business moved to its current shop on Q street in the Haymarket: A 4,450 square foot space with retail in the front and a large packing and shipping area in the back.
We're not talking Red Vines and Twizzlers — you can sample salty licorice fish from Sweden, cream-filled Dutch "salmiak rocks" or kosher, gluten free and sugar free licorice at the store. Licorice International even carries black licorice-smelling soap and licorice-flavored lip balm for true lovers of the chewy confection.
Erlandson and Stuertz look at this latest chapter of their lives as one of the best.
The pair advise others wanting to start a new career later in life to surround themselves with positive people.
Most importantly, Erlandson and Stuertz believe in trusting your gut and trying new things, even if it doesn't work out.

Over the past 40 years, the field of environmental engineering has evolved from a discipline focused primarily on "sanitary engineering" to one that brings a multidisciplinary approach to solve environmental problems in natural and engineered systems. This multidisciplinary approach is essential for addressing the growing need for sustainable approaches to using, managing and conserving natural resources. Water is a critical resource requiring sustainable management of both quantity and quality. One of the most critical threats to current and future clean water supplies, and the underlying research theme of this proposed project, is emerging contaminants, specifically engineered nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, and pathogens.

Harsimran's upcoming movie Tu Judaa would be directed by Inder Sohi, who would also pen the dialogues and screenplay.
Yet another week, and another announcement of an upcoming Punjabi movie. Under the banner of J.B Movies Production, 'Tu Judaa' was announced. This is the same production house that made the Roshan Prince-Saanvi Dhiman starrer Ranjha Refugee last year.
The upcoming movie would be directed by Inder Sohi, who would also pen the dialogues and screenplay. The movie has Harsimran, debutante actress Manmeet Kaur, Yaad Grewal and Parkash Gadhu in the lead roles. Tu Judaa is bankrolled by Mrs Sudesh Thakur ( JyotiJwala ) who has also scripted the story.
With this movie, we would have another singer turning into an actor. Harsimran who is the lead actor of the movie is originally a singer. He has given songs like Ferrari, Yaar bas yaar, Daaru di Sauh and many more.
Other than these no details have been revealed about the movie. With so many movies been announced in this year, we have actually lost a count of how many films we'll be seeing on the big screens this year. Having 52 Fridays, it would be interesting to see how many actually stand out from the crowd.
nextVikram Prabhu to be a part of movie based on real life incident that shocked Tamil Nadu!

Epiphyllum oxypetalum ist eine Pflanzenart in der Gattung Epiphyllum aus der Familie der Kakteengewächse (Cactaceae). Das Artepitheton oxypetalum leitet sich von den griechischen Worten "ὀξύς" (oxys) für spitz und "πέταλον" (petalon) für Blatt ab und verweist auf die spitzen Kronblätter der Art.

Beschreibung
Epiphyllum oxypetalum wächst reich verzweigt mit kräftigen Trieben, die bis zu 3 Meter lang werden können. Die Haupttriebe sind zylindrisch und zwischen 2 und 3 Meter lang. Die dünnfleischigen, abgeflachten, blattartigen Seitentriebe sind elliptisch geformt und mit Ausnahme der Ränder gewellt. Sie sind bis zu 30 Zentimeter lang und 10 bis 12 breit.

Die trichterförmigen Blüten besitzen eine bogige Blütenröhre. Sie erreichen bei Durchmessern von 12 bis 17 Zentimetern eine Länge von 25 bis 30 Zentimetern. Die äußeren Blütenhüllblätter sind schmal und rötlich, die inneren Blütenhüllblätter sind bis zu 2,5 Zentimeter breit und weiß.

Die Pflanze blüht selten und nur nachts, und die Blüten welken vor Tagesanbruch.

Verbreitung, Systematik und Gefährdung
Epiphyllum oxypetalum ist in den  mexikanischen Bundesstaaten Chiapas, Oaxaca und Veracruz sowie im guatemaltekischen Departamento Izabal in tiefen Lagen verbreitet.

Die Erstbeschreibung von Adrian Hardy Haworth wurde 1829 veröffentlicht.

In der Roten Liste gefährdeter Arten der IUCN wird die Art als "", d. h. als nicht gefährdet geführt.

Q: Find relevant words according to a given subject Is there an algorithm, webservice or technique which is able to search through a list of words, returning these that fit a given subject?
Practical example:
There is a Software which allows me to create a task and select an icon for it. There are hundreds of icons, >95% of them do not fit the given task.
My idea now is to tag these icons:
An icon with a letter would get the tags mail, communication, message, ...
The user then adds a task which is called Write email. The algorithm searches the icons and their tags and returns a list of presumably fitting icons (Perhaps the 20 most fitting icons). The user then can select from this list.
I think this could be useful in different areas. In a time where google is able to predict what the user wants to search for it must be possible in any way.

A: Probably not the greatest solution but giving it a shot.
If the terms in the input which would match against the icon is limited, consider a inverted index of terms against the icon label.
Say,
mail -> mailicon
email -> mailicon

On the similar line, hold a dictionary of a single term against icon label.
mail -> mailicon
message -> chaticon
communication ->lanicon

And when the terms "Write an email" comes from the user, you could explode the term as synonyms using something like a SynExpand and look up the entire map for possible icons.
Say, email gets exploded into mail, message, communication etc. and you would get the suggestions as three icons.
I am sure you should be able to play with the synonym values based on your need.

Well my stage name is not far fetched from my personality because everything about me is music. I took the title "song" but because a footballer in my town is already moving with that name. Then I added "J" before the "song" in order not to loose the identity. That's how I got the stage name J Song.
When I was 14, I realized that I have great love for music. I always sang even wen I did not understand what the lyrics meant. And sometimes I use my friends names to compose songs and made them dance to it. I also enjoyed singing especially when when I went on errands.
I was born into a family of seven. We live happily and love each other but the only problem is that we are financially down. However I have promised myself that I will make my family smile trough music.
It wasn't easy for me because I am not schooling as it is now. I only finished my secondary level and still hoping to gain admission into the university.
Its not easy being an upcoming artist in Nigeria. The challenges that I am facing now are finance related. There is no money to record my track and get them released. Right now I have a lot of songs written down but no money to push them.
I do have a unique style and if given the opportunity I would feature Phyno. I love his kind of rap and I respect his songs because most of them are in native Igbo. That is a language i understand well.
Phyno is my role model, I like all his songs because they are always concrete most especially when he raps in Igbo.
It is my dream and prayer that in 2years time my songs will be playing all over the town.

Set back from the bustling Great Western Road and tucked in a quiet cul de sac. In the heart of Glasgow's fashionable West End, yet only 1 mile from the city centre.
We are less than one mile from Glasgow City centre and conveniently situated 50 metres from the Kelvinbridge Underground. We are also ideally placed for the access road to and from Glasgow International Airport and are close to Junction 17 off the M8 Motorway (which runs through the centre of Glasgow from East to West). Latest check in 10pm.

Q: Creating vector by subsetting data inside a loop I have a data like this:
  +---+----+----+----+------+
  | Su| Re | BM | CH | Eyes |
  +---+----+----+----+------+
  | 1 |  1 |  . |  0 |    0 |
  | 0 |  1 |  1 |  0 |    1 |
  | 1 |  1 |  2 |  . |    0 |
  | 0 |  1 |  3 |  1 |    1 |
  | 1 |  2 |  . |  0 |    0 |
  | 0 |  2 |  2 |  0 |    1 |
  | 1 |  2 |  3 |  . |    1 |
  | 0 |  2 |  4 |  1 |    1 |
  +---+----+----+----+------+

I am trying to create multiple vectors based on this criteria
Su=1 and Re =1,2,3...., Su=1 and Re=1 first data vector, Su=1 and Re=3 second vector so on....I am using a loop for iterating through Re and subsetting dataset based on Su and Re. This is my code below, its not working, i need help to find out where I am going wrong.
library(foreign)
a <- read.dta(".....Data.dta")

for (i in 1:10)
{
  b[i,]=subset(a, su==1 & re==i)
}
b

A: You want to create a stucture (or class) representing a row.
Create a vector of these structures.
Now create index tables (std::map) with your sort criteria as the first parameter (key) and a pointer or index of the row in the vector (value).
This is the best method if you intend to access the same records in different orderings.  You can access the index table in a given order without changing to order of the data in the vector.
This is how databases work with tables and indices.

A: If I understand your question correctly, you can modify your code like this:
library(foreign)
a <- read.dta(".....Data.dta")

b <- list(rep(NA, 10))

for (i in 1:10)
{
  b[[i]] <- subset(a, su==1 & re==i)
}

This creates a list whose ith entry is the rows of a matching re==i. Is that what you're after?


A blend of black teas with sun ripened mango flavour lends to a warm and fruity infusion. Bits of fruits complete the aesthetic appeal.
This last week seems to have been unintentionally themed around mango teas; it honestly feels like I've had more of them now than I have had in the last two or three months. That's probably because I'm a picky person when it comes to mango, but because it's such a summer flavor there's a surplus of mango teas around which equates to more that I'm easily swayed into wanting to try out.
This one was done as a cold brew; it had a very natural and realistic mango flavour. I personally find that the actual fruit mango has a very pine like and sappy flavour. I know I'm not the only person to have observed this; and it seems to be commonly observed with unripe mangoes but even ripe ones have this flavour to me. However most teas with mango as an ingredient don't seem to convey this flavour and as someone who always tastes it when they eat the fruit it makes me feel like something is missing. Thankfully, I did taste is here! While I loved it the vast majority of people might not given than mango 'isn't supposed to taste like pine'.
There were also floral notes here, probably from the black base and I thought that added a nice depth to the flavour as well. While the fruit might not have had a robust, juicy flavour like I expected that didn't stop this from feeling complete. I am, however, wary of how other people would feel about this; like mentioned it has that "undesirable" pine taste. It worked well for me, though.

French Market Corporation To Return More Than $2M To City
NEW ORLEANS – The French Market Corporation (FMC) announced it will be returning a dividend in excess of $2 million this year to the City of New Orleans due to increased profits from three FMC-operated parking lots.
The FMC, which is required to provide 20 percent of all net adjusted revenues to the City under a 1992 franchise lease agreement, will increase its annual contribution from about $1 million last year to about $2.4 million this year. The FMC plans to make this contribution for at least a three-year period, subject to an annual review during the City's budgeting process each year.
"The French Market has long been an important part of the City of New Orleans, and the French Market Corporation continues to look for ways to increase its contributions to the City," said Demetric Mercadel, president of the FMC Board of Directors. "We are grateful to be in a position to contribute our parking revenues, and, as we continue to increase profitability with our parking operations, we intend for that contribution to grow."
The parking lots, which FMC assumed in 2014, are located on the riverfront behind Café du Monde, at Esplanade Avenue, and at Elysian Fields. Since the FMC assumed control of the lots, there has been a significant increase in profitability.
"Due to the French Market Corporation's aggressive efforts to increase revenues and reduce costs, the French Market continues to grow and solidify its role as a prominent cultural icon for New Orleans," said New Orleans Deputy Mayor & Chief Administrative Officer Andy Kopplin. "These increased contributions from the FMC will help fund essential City services, like public safety, street repairs and parks and recreation – all of which better residents' quality of life and draw more tourism dollars. The City will continue to do all it can to support and protect the uniqueness, beauty and popularity of America's oldest public market."
The FMC Finance Committee and Board of Directors would be required to give the final approval quarterly prior to FMC staff issuing the payment of the dividends. The contribution would be made quarterly, once net revenues from parking have been determined.
"We are not only fulfilling our fiduciary duty to return a dividend to the City, but we are increasing that dividend significantly this year and for at least three consecutive years," said FMC Executive Director Jon Smith. "Our goal is to continue this trend as long as possible, and the signs are positive that we can accomplish this goal. We look forward to the success of our merchants resulting in additional success for the City of New Orleans."
"As the City Council and Administration continue to look for ways to fund infrastructure repairs, public safety, sanitation and other basic city services that residents deserve, it is with great appreciation that we receive increased revenues from our partners in public benefit corporations, such as the French Market Corporation, as they maximize and leverage their assets," said City Council President Stacy Head. "On behalf of the City Council, I thank the FMC and its board members for exceeding their fiduciary responsibility and to the City and for their role as the conservator of one of New Orleans' most important cultural attractions."

Kristoff fear the boring Tour de France as opptrekker
(procycling.en): The collection outside of Tarragona has Alexander Kristoff planned season their together with the management of the UAE Team Emirates. It ha
(procycling.en): The collection outside of Tarragona has Alexander Kristoff planned season their together with the management of the UAE Team Emirates.
It has meant that he has had to swallow several camels. In spite of this, is, as usual, a friendly 31-year-old procyling.en get hold of via telephone from Spain.
Kristoff wanted originally to ride Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in early march, but has instead given in to the team's desire to help Fernando Gaviria during the UAE Tour in the same period of time.
See the preliminary sesongplanen to Kristoff in the bottom of the article!
He also put away the idea of running the Giro d'italia, as the team staff had a desire to pose as 'strong as possible' during the Tour de France, and it again means Gaviria and him in tandem.
The same applies under the "generalprøven" in the Tour de Suisse:
I considered the giroen, but there are two races they want to set the best possible layer to it, and there is the Tour de France and the UAE Tour. I was strongly wanted in both places, and are going to have to do it they had not made a wish. It is all about Fabio Aru in the giroen, and then it becomes a little more mixture of the asked and a summary of the tour. A bit like we had it in years, " says Kristoff to procycling.no.
Considering vueltaen
Ironically enough, had enough this year's edition of treukersrittet passport Stavanger-man better after Gavirias of the arabs on the team, then there was the slaughter among the sprinters on the 12.-stage at Alpe d'huez.
Just kolombianeren, André Greipel and Dylan Groenewegen smoke out on the time limit here, which again was to pave the way for nordmannens triumph down the Champs-Élysées ten days later.
as far As I have read me until there is not monsterbakker á la Alpe d'huez at the start of the tour next year, so I looks to me that he is able to hang out with for quite a long time. It can give a little bit of a boring Tour de France for me, for as long as he hangs with, I must help him. It goes like we hope, for we trust he may be to go for the green jersey, so is it weird if I also asked. But it is the way it is when they have taken a sprints which is a notch sharper than me.
In august Kristoff rather be to see to the start of the vueltaen, but it is far from finally settled.
They said that when I had to jump off in the course of the first two weeks, because they had rules that you couldn't run more than 85 days of UCI racing in the course of a season. But I've not seen the profiles from there yet. If there is only bakkefinish'is there in the beginning, there's no point for me to go down there. If there are many flat sprints, I travel down that spurtkaptein - but it is the world cup oppkjøringa, so it has no purpose to be left in the grupettoen, alerts him.
– as long As everything goes as normal, it is the Tour de France I'm going to run
Also in conjunction with the world cup oppkjøringa is the shear in the sea. Dan Martin and the Norwegian expressed the desire to run the Tour of Britain, but the UAE have problems with setting the four teams during the period, which also contains vueltaen, WorldTour-rittene in Canada and a small number of Italian endagsløp.
- Vueltaen and the Italian endagsløpene can work okay, if not I'm going to run the Deutchland Tour (in late august/september).
Vårklassikerne is the key
the UAE-the collection has so far consisted of more testing and less rigorous training than Kristoff had wanted to.
With Gavirias of the arabs and the outgoing contract, vårklassikerne the most important period in the saddle for him in a long time.
Where is it namely about to blow themselves up on avisforsidene with name and photo, in the hope of obtaining good forhandlingskort before 2020.
- It is that which primarily motivates me is to do a good klassikerperiode. When will I get good offers from many teams, and when is actually the situation resolved. When can I switch teams if I want it, or to remain for a good price. The goal is to perform as good as possible from the start. It is kjipere if I don't manage it, then I'm going to run more like opptrekker beyond and thus get fewer chances to run into own results.
Kristoff as opptrekker
And although it may sound like he stands with hat in hand and agree dikteringene from the team's sporting management, then do not match it completely.
That he tries to set up with a opptrekkerrolle in the UAE Tour, Tour de Suisse and ultimately the Tour de France, is also about that the team doesn't have better options.
We do not really have some really good leadout in the team. The capacity deficiencies the team and it is they have to get into, for both of us. I have said from that I'm going to see after offers from other teams if they don't get the order on it, so will see what offers, and other opportunities that pop up next year. I will the time still run their own chances and believe I am among the 10 best sprinters in the world. Two of my biggest triumphs this year, Abu Dhabi Tour and victory on the Champs-Élysées, came also on a flat surface.
- So when you see the opportunity that you can do two apps, even more independent of each other?
- Yes, it can be fine to continue here if we get into opptrekkere. Elia pisa with the " lamp and Gaviria distributed rittene between them in Quick Step, and there are plenty of races to take off. The way it is now, then we lose really the opportunity to run into good results in giroen by both to run the tour. I realize that they want the best possible results in the tour, and I realize also that he (Gaviria) need help from the one who can give him the best possible support, " says Kristoff.
- And how are you as opptrekker?
Wiggins: - the Case was meant to destroy me
- No, I know not, for I have not tried much to me as it before. But usually so they tend to act as a good opening for the rider that is on the rear wheel my, so then I get to continue to do it, " says Kristoff, and laughs.
Will that made working for him in Sanremo
as of now is therefore the key in the 2019 season, his in the to make it good between Milan-Sanremo and Paris-Roubaix, and he is also in time to secure even a little freer scope exactly in the period.
- I want to be in shape for Milan-Sanremo, and I feel really that it is the race I am best in. Gaviria will also be there, but he has yet to beat me. I'm going to require that they run for me there, since I have better results than him there each and every year. It comes a bit depending on the løpsutvikling, but it will be a bit easier for me to give him back in the Tour de France if he helps me, " says Kristoff.
- Have you told it to Gaviria?
We've talked a little bit about it, yes. He is a little laid back and just says that we can see how it is. He is a relaxed type, but I have got a good impression of him. He says what he thinks in conversations with the team. To me, he says that if he is better, so we are running for him. If not, it is the opposite. It has not been so much more than that. He has shown that he is faster than me in the past, but not in Sanremo.
What says the team?
- I have vented to them that I would like to have my chance there, so we'll see what it turns into. It is the team staff, who determines how it should be run. There is nothing set yet, and it may show up damage and experience other things, so we'll just see.

Edward Deci, one of the country's outstanding social psychologists, writing with former New York Times science and health editor Richard Flaste, offers some bad news and some good news: Rewards and punishments do not make workers perform more effectively, or students learn better, or families function more smoothly - that's the bad news. Indeed, it is the deadening of interest and commitment, from too much control, from overreliance on rewards and threats, that keeps people from peak performance.
But the good news is that people have an innate energy, interest, and excitement about the world that can be encouraged, and when they find greater satisfaction in what they do, they are more effective. Deci shows us how people work more efficiently, learn more intelligently, and treat each other better when their sense of autonomy is encouraged. Give students the reasons why they need to learn something boring, bring workers into the decision process whenever possible, avoid the use of threats, and amazing results will ensue, because people are inherently interested in the world, and they perform optimally when their autonomy is supported. While this good news is a call for autonomy, it is not a call for anarchy. People need limits and structure, but the way these are provided makes all the difference. Reading this book will revolutionize the way we think about motivation - and will give readers insight into what makes us tick.
Edward L. Deci, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology at the University of Rochester and director of its human motivation program.

The first wristwatch was created in 1812, to fit the wrist of the Queen of Naples, however, they had previously been introduced in the 1570s but were described as an arm watch.
Wristwatches were primarily worn by women as the watches were prone to damage by the elements, which is why men wore pocket watches..
The Trench watch (wristlet) was a type of watch that came into use by the military during World War I, as pocket watches were not practical in combat. It was a transitional design between pocket watches and wristwatches, incorporating features of both.
The most common reason is obviously the same as why 10:10 is the norm—aesthetics. Sometimes watch dials feature the brand name at positions other than 12 o'clock, and sometimes there could be indicators or displays that might actually get partially hidden with hands at 10:10.

The measurement of time began with the invention of sundials in ancient Egypt some time prior to 1500 B.C. However, the time the Egyptians measured was not the same as the time today's clocks measure. For the Egyptians, and indeed for a further three millennia, the basic unit of time was the period of daylight.
One of the earliest of all devices to tell time was the sundial. The sundial is looked on as being a form of sun-powered clock. … There was another more advanced shadow clock or sundial in use by the ancient Egyptians around 1500 BC. This shadow clock or sundial permitted one to measure the passage of hours within a day.
Louis CartierAnd the creation of one of the world's first men's modern wristwatches in 1904 was no different. This invention was born when Louis Cartier, one of three grandsons of Cartier's founder, befriended the Brazilian aviator and adventurer Alberto Santos-Dumont.
Yes, watches are considered jewelry. Jewelry is an personal ornament that you wear to make yourself look better. As long as your watch fulfills this function it can be considered jewelry.
BlancpainBlancpain is said to be the oldest registered watchmaking brand in the world. It was launched in 1735, when Jehan-Jacques Blancpain opened the company's workshop on the upper floor of his house in Villeret, Switzerland.

Horace MannCredit for our modern version of the school system usually goes to Horace Mann. When he became Secretary of Education in Massachusetts in 1837, he set forth his vision for a system of professional teachers who would teach students an organized curriculum of basic content.
Pomander WatchThe Pomander Watch (Bisamapfeluhr in German) is believed to be the oldest known watch in the world. Following an in depth examination by a committee of various experts in their field, it was determined that the Pomander Watch was made 1505 by Peter Henlein, who is credited as the inventor of the watch.

Watches progressed in the 17th century from spring-powered clocks, which appeared as early as the 14th century. During most of its history the watch was a mechanical device, driven by clockwork, powered by winding a mainspring, and keeping time with an oscillating balance wheel. These are called mechanical watches.

We inspect Commercial and Residential properties in urban and rural areas. Every Inspection report is computer-generated on-site, at the completion of the inspection.
Kevin M. Ullrich is a Licensed Professional Austin Texas Home Inspector, T.R.E.C. License #965 (the lower the number, the longer the inspector has been licensed), and has been inspecting real property since 1987, and he has personally inspected over 9,000 properties during that time.

He brings this broad-based knowledge to every inspection.
The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) licenses and regulates Property Condition Inspectors in the State of Texas. They have established guidelines for Inspections in the form of the TREC Standards of Practice. TREC has also promulgated the Inspection Report Form on which all inspectors in the State of Texas are required to report their inspection findings. Bluebonnet Real Estate Inspection Service strictly adheres to the TREC Standards of Practice when performing Property Condition Inspections.
Fees for Property Condition Inspections are competitive; all prices are based on the square footage of the structure. Additional fees are charged for appurtenances such as: outbuildings, pools, hot tubs, additional HVAC units (1 is included in fee), sprinkler systems, water wells, detached garages, pier & beam foundations, etc. Please call or e-mail us for a quote! We have very competitive prices, based on our many years of experience.
The cost of an inspection is minimal, compared to the price you are paying for the property you are purchasing, and may be the best money you will ever spend. If price is your only concern in choosing an Inspector, you will find many inspectors willing to do an inspection for a ridiculously low price and, you may be sacrificing the experience factor by choosing the lowest bidder, in some cases. Before choosing an inspector, find out how long they have been in business, check their license number, ask when you will receive the report, and ask if they can do the termite inspection. When choosing an inspector, keep in mind that the inspector is typically the only person working for the buyer in the real estate transaction.
A thorough, quality inspection will take time and, when completed, should provide you with peace of mind concerning the major financial investment that you are about to make. Expect to pay for and receive the experience and peace of mind that a professional, quality, and thorough Property Condition Inspection will provide for you!

What does it take to become a proactive teacher?
To have a good start in your teaching career, you need to have a facebook account to be informed about the memos being released by the division office. Join groups that will be beneficial for you. Always open the line of your phone and make it sure that you have a contact number of your principal and co-teachers. You need to respond as soon as possible or else you will regret it.
There will come a time that you will be bombarded with a lot of work that's why prioritizing tasks is a must. Submit important documents first then do the next job. Manage your time wisely. Cancel unimportant meetings to meet your deadlines.
Plan ahead, anticipate problems and learn from mistakes Saturdays and Sundays are the only days in a week you can relax in your work. But you must keep in mind that to be able to start your Monday right, you need to plan ahead. So if you have spare time, try to have a glance on your next topic. You can also use your vacant hours for planning and anticipating problems. No matter how much you plan, a problem always arises and with that, you need to learn from those mistakes.
No man is an island. This principle is also applicable to teachers. You need to work well and collaborate with them because you cannot do a task alone if it requires a group effort.
Lastly, take initiative. Your boss and co-teachers will be grateful on efforts you've done without being told to do so. Be proactive today and be a blessing to others.


Local authorities tried for more than 30 days to locate the owner of this sailboat that sank at anchor.
Unfortunately, it became a hazard to navigation, so the city called on Fast Response to deal with it.
The vessel's bow was resting on the bottom in about 20 feet of water when Fast Response arrived. Air bags were deployed, and the barnacle-encrusted hull quickly rose to the surface.
The boat was demolished at the dump.

Making contact(less)
Written by Mark Wilding
In early February 2015, shoppers on London's Marylebone High Street will have noticed a scientist waving at them from a shop window. Anyone who responded to the lab coat-wearing figure's call for attention was invited to hold their bank card briefly against the glass, resulting in a £2 donation being made to Cancer Research UK. Transaction completed, the scientist turned away, returning to his or her life-saving work.
Contactless payments were first introduced in the UK nearly 10 years ago. Recently, adoption has skyrocketed. According to the UK Cards Association, by June 2016 there were more than 92 million contactless cards in use, an increase of over a third since the year before. That month, nearly £1.9 billion was spent using contactless cards. They now account for one in every seven transactions.
Despite this, contactless technology has struggled to find a home in the charity sector. That's about to change. Since the Cancer Research pilot at four stores last year, an increasing number of charities have been testing the technology. There are challenges - contactless collection is both more costly and complicated than shaking a coin bucket. But there are also many reasons in favour of making the change, not least that fewer people are carrying cash than ever before.
In October 2014, a meeting was held at the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) to discuss new ways of fundraising. The concept of contactless donations was raised. Chris Allwood, head of product development at CAF, took the idea to Dr. Steve Perry, a director at CAF Bank. "He was so excited about it," recalls Allwood. "He thought it was a really great idea." Perry was also a member of the leadership team at Visa Europe. A pilot project was set up to test the appetite for contactless giving, with CAF working alongside Visa and Save the Children.
Donation terminals were installed in locations including a Costa Coffee outlet, Canary Wharf tube station, Westfield London shopping centre, and a music concert in Manchester. At the concert, when donors were offered a choice between contactless and cash, less than 1% of the money raised was by card. Elsewhere, contactless demonstrated much more potential. At Westfield, 30% of donors opted for contactless giving. At Costa, one in five people who paid by contactless card went on to make a donation.
Announcing the results, CAF declared the technology had "huge potential to transform fundraising." Allwood said: "It's vital we are at the forefront of this technology so that charities do not lose out." Since then, Allwood has received weekly enquiries from charities interested in exploring contactless donations. Those to have trialled the technology include Comic Relief and the Barbican.
There are still barriers to widespread adoption. One is the cost involved. Several pilots have used a service involving three companies: Netherlands-based Payter, which supplies the terminal, plus payment provider Creditcall and merchant bank Elavon. PayPal also offers a card reader which can be plugged into a smartphone to accept payments. Both options involve an upfront cost for the hardware and subsequent fees for processing transactions.
Remco Willemse, managing director at Payter, estimates the initial cost at between £350 and £550. He recognises charities will need to carefully assess the business case. "If they buy a £2 bucket, it's fine if they don't do anything with it for 51 weeks a year," he says. "With a payment terminal, there's cost involved, a contract with the bank, and transaction fees apply. The great thing is, you don't have to empty it, it can't get stolen, you get the donations in the next day."
Contactless donations have also thrown up challenges for the financial industry. In a face-to-face setting, Visa only allows contactless payments to be accepted alongside chip and PIN payments, creating problems for charities which don't want or need the extra complication of chip and PIN. To date, Visa has offered waivers on a case-by-case basis. Willemse isn't too worried: "Innovation or disruption within the financial world, which has so many rules and regulations, takes time."
Despite these hurdles, there is a sense among contactless technology providers that a shift is taking place. Liz Gibson, head of payment services at Creditcall, says: "We're seeing a steady increase in enquiries. It's gone from being one-offs to being something that people want as standard." Gibson recognises that appeal among charities will vary. "But contactless is increasingly prevalent and we'll see the business case and use case increase as time goes on."
Much of the focus to date has been on making the process simple. Cancer Research invested in written and video tutorials to ensure staff and volunteers were well versed in the technology. Payter adapted terminals from those used in vending machines, and chose a fixed donation amount. "Most of the time, having a fixed amount makes it straightforward," says Willemse. In the future, Payter will enable charities to offer a small number of possible donations. "The less choice the better because we have so many choices to make already!"
Innovative tactics have been used to introduce donors to contactless giving. In May, Blue Cross used 'Tap Dogs' wearing jackets embedded with PayPal contactless readers to accept donations. Bas Gevaert, director of PayPal Here UK, says: "We are just at the very start of seeing charities develop unusual or unexpected ways of using contactless to raise donations."
In April this year, contactless donation points appeared in five cafes in London and Oxfordshire. The Lunchbox terminal allowed customers to donate 30p to Mary's Meals, a charity feeding schoolchildren in the developing world, meaning donors could buy someone else's lunch at the same time as buying their own. James Wood heads up Earnest Labs, a creative agency which created the concept. "We know if you have an idea behind something, make it really simple so people can understand and it's contextual, it will work a lot better," he says.
By September, the boxes had received more than 3,000 taps, raising just under £1,000 and paying for 15,000 meals. Earnest is now rolling out the concept more widely and is setting up a charity to oversee the scheme and distribute the funds raised. There are other ideas such as Bookbox, where boxes would be installed in bookshops to raise money for reading charities. "The point is to always keep it contextual," says Wood.
A number of major charities are working together to discuss contactless possibilities. One forum includes Cancer Research UK, Save The Children, Comic Relief, Sue Ryder, DEC, Great Ormond Street Hospital, WWF, National Gallery, Oxfam, and the Barbican working alongside the UK Cards Association. By the end of the year, a 'contactless framework' will be published to set out the opportunities and challenges presented by the technology.
There are also plans to bring down the cost for charities which don't need contactless technology all year round. Vanessa Neal, senior product manager at Elavon, says: "We're aware that charities don't do face-to-face collections all the time." Elavon plans to acquire a bank of donation terminals which it will hire out to charities on a short-term basis. "We want to make sure this is cost effective for charities to do collections in a different way."
Since its pilot at the start of last year, Cancer Research has continued to experiment with contactless technology. On World Cancer Day this year, the charity sent out volunteers armed with contactless donation terminals to 16 locations across the UK.
Paul Weaver, digital innovation manager at Cancer Research UK, is closely involved in working to help drive adoption of contactless technology. He believes the main challenge will be to raise public awareness of contactless giving. Once that's achieved, he sees serious potential. He points to examples such as regular giving and text donations, where technology has changed fundraising in the past.
"In my opinion, contactless is the next one of those," he says. "It's that big."

Inside HP's Helion OpenStack Strategy - InternetNews.
In a video interview with eWEEK, Bill Hilf, vice president of product management for HP Cloud, discusses how the Helion Cloud strategy was born and what it means to HP moving forward. Hilf is one of the key executives driving HP's cloud strategy forward and reports to Martin Fink, HP's CTO.
As part of HP's product portfolio for cloud, there are multiple components, including hardware, software and services. Having multiple products that can be sold to a potential customer is a key point of differentiation for Hilf in the way that HP will compete in the cloud marketplace.
"When it comes to business and monetization, I have lots of knobs; there are lots of ways I can monetize," Hilf said. "So we can price things at a certain price point because we know we have all these available ways to monetize the customer."

Insurance products can be a great, and often necessary, expenditure for individuals and investors, never mind some lucky beneficiaries.
The industry offers a dazzling and sometimes confusing array of products and has a powerful lobbying arm. In 2009, for instance, more than $164 million was spent by the lobbying industry in Washington, D.C. So far this year the tally is roughly $44 million, according to OpenSecrets.org.
But not all insurance products, and/or the reps selling them, are scrupulous in their sales practices, disclosures or explanations regarding the intricate details behind the products. It's that underbelly and ugly side of two of this industry's investment products -- equity-indexed annuities and life settlements -- that are the focus of this Buyer Beware series.
There's something about the word "insurance" that can lead you to believe products in this industry are safe, the risks to owning an insurance-based investment vehicle are minimal and that there will always be some financial reward for you or a beneficiary -- provided you've kept up your end of the deal.
But as with everything else in the financial arena, contracts and fine print always need to be read and thoroughly understood before any monies change hands.
Ask those burned by a product with an insurance wrapper and you're likely to hear they think the only ones making money are insurance companies and their sales people. In the case of equity-indexed annuities (EIAs) and life settlements, there could be some truth to that thinking.
Each has been red-flagged with an Investor Alert from FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, because of the large number of consumer complaints regarding sales scams surrounding them.
The scams mostly target seniors and retirees from all income levels.
"Older people are by far the most targeted for investment fraud," says John Gannon, senior vice president of FINRA. "And while the message rings true for anyone, whether they are 21 or 91, in the older audience most people are going through significant life changes, making them more vulnerable to the fraudsters."
Gannon explains that whether it's going from employment to unemployment, entering retirement or experiencing the loss of a spouse, seniors are often faced with having to make a number of decisions for the first time regarding assets they've accumulated throughout their lifetime. That includes things like how to withdraw money from retirement accounts, or use the equity in their homes or the assets in their insurance policies.
"What we've found is many people who are targeted for investment fraud have experienced some kind of negative life event. Whether that's a health or medical issue, a financial issue or problem, those events are what potentially open them up and make them feel that they need to get a higher return," adds Gannon.
Put another way, when people have any financial worries or concerns, whether they are concerns about their personal lives or what's happening within the marketplace, no matter how large or small their estate or asset base, those worries make them more vulnerable and susceptible to making bad, inappropriate or misunderstood investment choices.
If equity-indexed annuities could be thoroughly explained in one sentence, they would be and the number of individuals misled by the product would be insignificant. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
"I read an article recently that said you had to have a Ph.D. and then some to really understand what's going on with equity-indexed annuities," says Michael Lavallam of Frank Crystal & Co. in Palm Beach and New York. "There are a number of moving parts in them that even intelligent wealthy individuals need to really be quite astute to follow."
While the bells and whistles to these products may be enticing, Lavallam said three things basically drive investor returns from EIAs. One is the index the product is using and how participation in that index return is calculated.
 Annual reset or rachet, which compares an index from the beginning to the end of each year.
 The high-water-mark method, which looks at the index value and takes the highest of its value and compares it to the index value when the contract began.
 The point-to-point method, which compares the change in the index at two discreet points in time.
While all three methods have advantages and disadvantages, it's important to have a clear understanding of the participation rate. That means what percentage of that index return will you, the investor, get? And then, what are all the fees? Just as participation rates vary so do fees charged by insurance companies for things like management and trading expenses. Taken together, all can make a dent in the investment's return.
In an example from Lavallam, if the market index used returned 12 percent, and the investor's participation rate was 50 percent, he would net less than 6 percent because of the additional charges and fees the product carries.
Lavallam's laundry list of things equity-indexed annuity investors need to understand include: Know the index, how returns are calculated, the inherent drivers of the index, costs buried within the contract, the net returns after all fees, and if you need money whether you can make a withdrawal during the year and whether that comes with a penalty. "Indexed annuities are long-term investment based, so if you have to liquidate some of what you've invested, they (insurance companies) may have fees in place for that," he says.
If you decide to sell one of your life insurance policies -- for whatever reason -- and liquidate it for cash, the thing to clearly understand is that, once you cash it in, the money is gone, as are all that policy's promises and guarantees, including any future death benefits.
It's not uncommon for an investment you made in a life insurance policy decades ago to not be a good fit for your current financial needs. Policy premiums may or may not be all paid, the policy worth more than you'd imagined, you're so successful that other investment avenues are more appropriate, and the list goes on. So it's not uncommon to surrender a life policy for many reasons.
Today, there are three ways to get at that loot in a life insurance policy: The first is to die, and the money goes to the policy's beneficiary or beneficiaries; the second, surrender the policy for its cash value; the third, sell the policy to another entity. The latter is referred to as a life settlement; by doing that, two things will happen: You'll receive an amount of cash for selling the policy. You'll transfer ownership of the policy to the purchaser and he will be the recipient of the death benefit when you die.
According to Lavallam, it's large institutions rather than individuals that typically purchase the life settlements, which are then packaged into various investment vehicles.
Selecting a reputable insurance brokerage to handle the transaction is as important as understanding who is purchasing your policy and for how much. The price is driven by your health and life expectancy.
Another fact: This isn't a quick-sale ordeal. In fact, you're not likely to receive cash from that sale in just a few business days. "It's probably going to be a month or more," says Lavallam.
Why so long? It takes time for those buying the policy to check your medical records, calculate life expectancy, calculate the policy's value with respect to how much you ought to be paid, establish commissions, and more.
Three things to consider before considering a life settlement: Why am I doing this, what's my motivation, and what do I hope to get out of it?
"Whether it's an equity-index annuity or a life settlement, people need to be somewhat skeptical and ask themselves whether it's in their best interest to enter into either of those transactions," says Gannon.

Home News President Bio Bags African of the Year 2022 Award
President Bio Bags African of the Year 2022 Award
President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr Julius Maada Bio, emerged winner in the 11thAfrican Leadership Persons of the Year Award – 2022.

Celldex Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 2 Study of Barzolvolimab in Patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
HAMPTON, N.J., June 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLDX) today announced that the first patient has been dosed in a Phase 2 clinical study of barzolvolimab for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Barzolvolimab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT with high specificity and potently inhibits its activity. CSU is characterized by the occurrence of hives or wheals for 6 weeks or longer without identifiable specific triggers or causes. The activation of the mast cells in the skin results in episodes of itchy hives, swelling and inflammation of the skin that can go on for years or even decades.
"We are excited to advance barzolvolimab into Phase 2 as we believe it can produce potentially transformative therapeutic activity against CSU and other mast cell driven diseases," said Diane C. Young, M.D, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Celldex Therapeutics. "The initiation of this study marks an important milestone for Celldex and for the patients we aim to benefit. CSU is an often serious and debilitating disease with significant impacts on patient quality of life, and there is a high unmet need for new treatment options."
Dr. Young continued, "This CSU study is part of our chronic urticaria program, where we are also moving forward with a second Phase 2 trial in chronic inducible urticaria, which is expected to initiate dosing shortly."
The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group Phase 2 study is evaluating the efficacy and safety profile of multiple dose regimens of barzolvolimab in patients with CSU who remain symptomatic despite antihistamine therapy, to determine the optimal dosing strategy. Approximately 168 patients will be randomly assigned on a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous injections of barzolvolimab at 75 mg every 4 weeks, 150 mg every 4 weeks, 300 mg every 8 weeks or placebo during a 16-week placebo-controlled treatment phase. Patients will then enter a 36-week active treatment phase, in which patients not already randomized to barzolvolimab at 150 mg every 4 weeks or 300 mg every 8 weeks will be randomized 1:1 to receive one of these two dose regimens; patients already randomized to these treatment arms will remain on the same regimen as during the placebo-controlled treatment phase. Following the treatment period, patients will enter a 24-week follow up phase. The primary endpoint of the study is mean change in baseline to Week 12 in UAS7. Secondary endpoints include other assessments of safety and clinical activity including ISS7, HSS7 and AAS7.

About Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU)
CSU is characterized by the occurrence of hives or wheals for 6 weeks or longer without identifiable specific triggers or causes. The activation of the mast cells in the skin (release of histamines, leukotrienes, chemokines) results in episodes of itchy hives, swelling and inflammation of the skin that can go on for years or even decades. Current therapies provide symptomatic relief only in some patients.
About Barzolvolimab
Barzolvolimab (also referred to as CDX-0159) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT with high specificity and potently inhibits its activity. KIT is expressed in a variety of cells, including mast cells, which mediate inflammatory responses such as hypersensitivity and allergic reactions. KIT signaling controls the differentiation, tissue recruitment, survival and activity of mast cells. In certain inflammatory diseases, such as chronic urticaria, mast cell activation plays a central role in the onset and progression of the disease.
About Celldex Therapeutics, Inc.
Celldex is a clinical stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing monoclonal and bispecific antibodies that address devastating diseases for which available treatments are inadequate. Our pipeline includes antibody-based therapeutics which have the ability to engage the human immune system and/or directly affect critical pathways to improve the lives of patients with inflammatory diseases and many forms of cancer.
