Spiritual Spotlight: Phlegyas, the Consort of Atheists

True Neutral Psychopomp Usher of Atheists, Legacies, and Reincarnation

Domains: Artifice, Earth, Knowledge, Repose Subdomains*: Industry, Petrification, Memory, Psychopomp

Concordance of Rivals, pg. 16

Obedience: Spend an hour creating something from the dead, such as by making jewelry or clothing from hair, flesh, bones, or teeth. Alternately, mummify or embalm a corpse. Benefit: Gain a +2 insight bonus on saving throws against Divine magic.

(*IMPORTANT NOTE: The Subdomains are my best guess; Subdomains are not listed in Concordance of Rivals.)

Macabre! I hope you’ve got a good explanation for your party about why you’re being a ghoulish scavenger, but personally I’ve yet to be in a party where there were no scavenger types. It seems that every group of people has at least one person who takes handfuls of teeth or other trophies from their kills, but that may just be a bigger signifier about what kinds of people that I hang out with than a true analysis of this Obedience.

It’s an easy Obedience to do if you can quell your party’s fears about your chosen medium for your arts and crafts, because as an adventurer, you’re not likely to have a shortage of usable parts. Hell, just ONE complete body has enough materials to carry you through several days or even weeks of this Obedience because you can just perform some scrimshaw on the larger bones before using the smaller ones as pieces for a larger work. For people who want a bit more oomph in their crafting, I’m not 100% certain on Pharasma and the Usher’s tolerance of using the dead as crafting material for your own Construct minions, but ‘creating something from the dead’ lends itself to some pretty broad interpretations. You can, technically, use them to make Wondrous Items like weaving their leather into a Bag of Holding, even. Crafting magic items takes way more than 1 hour to do, obviously, so you can really only combine this Obedience with your crafting during downtime... Unless they’re potions, in which case they take a mere 2 hours if they cost less than 250gp.

That counts, right? All else fails, though, a Sack Of Rats can be used here. Just pull one out, clonk it dead, and preserve that tiny corpse.

And while my mind is on it, this Obedience couples phenomenally with the Harvest Parts, Grisly Ornament, and Monstrous Crafter feats.

Also, the benefit is great. A blanket +2 on saves versus Divine spells from any source and any alignment? Sign me up! Unfortunately, it doesn’t really protect you from spell-like abilities, and the bonus by itself is rather small, but it’s always nice to have just an always-on bit of extra protection you don’t need to think about. Like Mage Armor!

Boons are gained slowly, gained at levels 12, 16, and 20. Servants of the Monitors, though, can enter the Proctor Prestige Class as early as level 8. If entered as early as possible, you can earn your Boons at levels 10, 14, and 16. You MUST take the Monitor Obedience feat, NOT Deific Obedience. Monitors grant only a single set of Boons.

Boon 1: Creator's Whispers. Gain Crafter's Fortune 3/day, Object Reading 2/day, or Detect Anxieties 1/day.

Crafter’s Fortune and Object Reading aren’t too useful in the day-to-day, lets get that out of the way. Fortune grants a target a +5 bonus to the next Craft check they make, which is GREAT for people in your party who actually create things (like you, potentially), but you don’t need it 3/day unless everyone is making stuff. You can also use it in tandem with the Fabricate spell, of course, but in general you likely won’t need it more than once a day.

Object Reading has its niche uses in a Whodunnit mystery or tracking down the owner of a particular item, allowing you to quickly gather information of whose hands the target has passed, but the +10 Appraise check is actually only worth +1 fact, giving you a minimum of +2 facts... which is all you probably need anyway. It’s up to you whether or not that means this ability is useful, but know that the +10 means that a mere 2 or 3 points in Appraise makes it impossible to fail your reading.

Which leaves Detect Anxieties, which works as Detect Thoughts, but instead of the infinitely more useful analysis of the victim’s surface thoughts, you instead learn of whatever anxieties and fears are plaguing its mind. While still potentially useful, this translates in-game to only providing a paltry +2 to Intimidation checks, which I think should be significantly higher. Perhaps you could also get bonuses to other skill checks if you choose to sooth their anxieties rather than exploiting them?

That being said, it’s a useful spell for scanning hallways and rooms for concealed enemies, and its ability to pass through the same materials Detect Thoughts can means you can peer into some rooms without opening the doors and get a general feel of the room’s mood. All three of these spells, however, remain pretty niche, making it difficult to pick which one to take each day.

Boon 2: Evader of Consequence. You can cast Reincarnate or Mindwipe 1/day as a spell-like ability. You must select which when you perform the obedience for that day.

Mindwipe slaps a target with 2 temporary negative levels if they fail their save, with the side-effect of instantly wiping out the target’s two highest-level spells or spell slots, as well as erasing the knowledge of two of their highest-level spells known. It’s an alright spell in the hands of players, shaving -10 HP off the enemy and hitting them with a -2 penalty to every roll they make, and eating two of the caster’s most powerful tools in one go can cripple whatever trump card they had in their pocket.

Unfortunately, it’s negated entirely by a save, and a Will save at that. It’s going to be difficult to actually have it land on a caster for its full effect, but at the very least you can still aim it at the enemy frontline to debuff them for a few days.

That being said, Reincarnation is an interesting choice. Normally costing 1,000gp to cast, you pay nothing for this power. It requires only a small portion of a dead body to use and creates a new one in the prime of their youth, allowing the caster to bypass the usual “no old age” restriction of life-granting magic, allowing it to bring back people living way past their time. Also, since Reincarnate works on bodies less than a week old, you can just keep preparing Mindwipe until someone dies!

The true power of this Boon, however, is that it’s essentially a free Raise Dead that needs only a pinch of corpse dust to work, provided you’re feeling lucky on the slot machine of potential races to come back as. Some... complications may arise if they reincarnate as a race that doesn’t mesh well with their build, but the fact you get the spell for free means that you can just keep trying day after day if you need to. On a morbid note, this means you’ll never really be at a loss for parts for your Obedience! ... Or food, I suppose.

Boon 3: Though Only Breath. After completing your Obedience, choose one Craft, Perform, or Profession skill. Until you next perform your Obedience, you gain a +10 insight bonus on checks to create something permanent with your chosen skill, such as carving a statue, writing a play, or drafting meaningful legislature. A check result of 40 or higher indicates that the object you create is of such astonishing quality that it will remain in the public consciousness for generations to come. This bonus does not apply to checks made to earn money.

I hope you’re the party craftsman, because come level 16, everything you do has a chance of becoming something famous and beautiful. Note that, while this ability cannot be used to craft scrolls or potions, using it to craft magical items is perfectly valid. ALSO NOTE, though, that this affects your Craft check, not your Spellcraft check, so allocate your skill points accordingly. Spellcraft allows you to construct any magical item, but specific Craft checks are needed for things like working leather, carving stone, etc.

On the plus side, golems and other magical Constructs often require specific Craft checks to build rather than just relying on Spellcraft, allowing you to craft mechanical minions with greater accuracy than ever before. If your items cost less than 1000gp to create you can get them finished in one day, allowing you to swap your bonuses to another one if need be.

Two things about this Boon are cute: The first is that you can also use it to bolster Perform or Profession, and the second is the final portion, in which an especially impressive construction will endure “in the public consciousness for generations to come,” implying that whatever you make will either be so astonishingly breathtaking or so unbelievably horrifying that people won’t be able to stop thinking about it for centuries. Amusing as that is when making something that costs less than 1000gp, it’s still apparently noteworthy enough to have whispers of it passed from parent to child.

This makes spreading propaganda pathetically easy, by the way. Since Profession checks can be just about anything, you can go buck wild with Profession (Lawmaker) or Profession (Mayor) or Profession (Novelist)! ... Or, as my DM pointed out, a futuristic setting could have you use your Profession (Blogger) or Profession (Instagram Influencer) clout to shape the public zeitgeist. Even if they don’t like you or your ideas, they’ll be talking about you, possibly until long after you’re gone.

Even if you can’t change the world, but you can sure as hell leave your mark in it.

Performance Appraisal

All professional compensation plans have attempted to recognize and combine two elements in the decision of what to pay an employee. The first is the labor market. It doesn’t make good business sense to pay substantially more or less than the labor market for the particular job. The second is within that range of “fair market pay” we’d like the differences to reflect the individual employee’s performance. This second factor may be because we believe rewarding better performance will encourage better performance, or it might be that we just believe it is a more equitable use of pay resources, regardless of any incentive effect it may or may not have.

Data about the labor market is relatively easy to come by. There are any number of surveys that can be purchased, and there are other means of determining the “prevailing wages” in an area. Performance, however; remains a difficult metric to quantify.

At first it sounds simple enough. Most every manager imagines they know what it is when they see it. All too often what they imagine is good performance is really just a personality compatible with their own, or one that mirrors the stereotype we accept as the “high performer”. It turns out that finding quantifiable measures of performance in most jobs is much more difficult. Failure to do the job at an acceptable level is usually easy to determine, but above that threshold, it gets harder, and in some jobs there may not be room for much improvement, e.g. jobs in sequential processes, whose rate of output can’t exceed their input.

Let’s take administrative professionals. Whether they work in taxes, accounting, HR, or compensation, what counts as successful performance? What about a tax recommendation that saved the company money? What about a tax recommendation that the company DIDN’T follow, that would have saved money? We could construct similar examples for accounting, for turnover in HR, and for incentive and merit pay in compensation. Not surprisingly, executive management is very reluctant to recognize good performance in the form of recommendations they rejected.

Unlike the tax example, even the successes in most professional positions cannot be measured against the path not taken with any real sense of objectivity or accuracy. The confusion continues down the ranks. An assembly line worker’s output cannot exceed their input. A customer relations call center employee’s time per call doesn’t accurately reflect whether the customer/caller left satisfied with the resolution of their issue. (BTW surveys of customer satisfaction can be misleading because angry negative responses are more likely to be made than positive ones. Positive responses may be the result of successful selling of the employee to the customer to make an extremely positive response. This is only reinforced by management stats that ignore middle ground responses in favor of high versus low net scores.)

Even in sales, where the standard of success would seem to be incontrovertible there are problems. What if the new sales are obtained by overpromising the results to be achieved by the product or service? These become dissatisfied future ex-customers, but as long as our slick talking salesperson can outsell their losses of repeat customers they are likely to continue to appear to be the “top salesperson”.

Failing to develop better objective measures, some professionals have moved to what is variously called “360 Degree appraisal” where the people you work with (in and outside your immediate management unit) all have a say in how they think your performance deserves to be rated. While this idea is promising because it gets away from a single reviewer’s potential biases (for or against), it suffers from the presumption that each of these people will make an informed and objective assessment, without consideration of the fact that the people they are evaluating will also be evaluating them.

Add to this difficulty the fact that most supervisors and managers get to their position not because of any demonstrated ability to manage people, but typically by being the most knowledgeable (or most senior) member of a function. In almost 50 years in business at dozens of employers and clients I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of training sessions in appraising performance I was part of, and most of them were ones I conducted after successfully selling my employer or client on the need! (Needless to say I wasn’t always successful in selling them on the need.)

Consequently most managers game the system to ensure that virtually identical ratings and raises are available to their subordinates. This situation is exacerbated by lean times in the industry or economy as a whole when salary increase budgets are pretty limited.

This has led some professionals in compensation in two directions. Reserve performance pay for bonus plans and sales compensation, (which still face difficulties in assessing real performance) and handling base pay in something akin to “maturity pay”.

This latter idea essentially rewards more experience in a job or field with pay higher in the competitive market range. As a younger professional I was strongly against such a plan, but experience has softened my view. As long as we are still strict about removing those who have quit meeting the acceptable standards of the job, the “maturity pay” has the advantages of being objective (easy to measure) and generally accepted as “fair and equitable” by most of the employees.

As more evidence is gathered that money isn’t that much of a motivator in most jobs, the quality of work/life balance and other conditions of employment matter more. Those jobs and functions that still attract the highly money motivated are the ones we need to take special care in the design their pay plans, lest we leave them too many ways to game the system.

HR and compensation management may not have a good handle on evaluating performance but it is also clear that most members of management don’t either.

Looking back on the practical successes of merit pay and the appraisal of performance it rests on, I have to say that it hasn’t been that successful. While acknowledging its failures in practice, I held on to the idea that if everyone learned and followed the plan appropriately it would work. I guess at some level I still believe that, but now it’s right up there with world peace and everyone getting along.

A more complicated system will not solve the problem, the current appraisal process is more than complicated enough.

Measuring performance by achievement of objectives is an even bigger waste of time. No matter how much an employee and their supervisor collaborate on these objectives, there is absolutely no guarantee that the resources, including just the time alone, will be available to achieve them. And if they involve the approval of other levels of management or the sign off of other departments the elements an employee can control in order to even come close to achieving them has been eliminated. This makes the whole exercise a “joke”; or worse, just an excuse to deny someone a raise on the basis of a failure orchestrated by powers beyond their control.

My final thoughts are be consistent and firm about removing people who cannot perform at an acceptable level. Consider performance rewards in the form of bonuses. (See other article)

Top Asset Division Divorce Attorney

When a couple is divorcing or separating, they generally have a variety of assets that will need to be divided between them. Assets might include a home or other real property, a business, bank accounts, or retirement accounts.

What Kind Of Assets Are Divided In A Divorce?

• Money: You and your spouse likely have some financial assets. These financial assets generally include bank (your checking and savings), investment accounts, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, and cash. Accounts held in your minor children’s names or jointly with another person should also be considered. You may be able to find a list of all money accounts by reviewing the 1099 Forms used to complete your Income Tax Forms. • Home: Your home is an asset, as is any other real property (property that does not generally move, like land or a building). If you are not sure of what real property you and your spouse own, you may be able to find real property by checking with the Assessor’s office to find out if a deed to the property has been recorded. If you or your spouse owns a business, the real property owned by or through that business is also an asset.

youtube

• Debt Repayment: If you or your spouse loaned money to someone, and you are owed repayment of that debt still, that debt is an asset. • Deferred Compensation: Occasionally, an employee accumulates deferred compensation through his or her employment. This deferred compensation might be a bonus that accrues over time and is paid later (for example, a year-end bonus), an option to purchase stock, or a raise. A contract to perform something for compensation may also be an asset. • Retirement Accounts: Retirement accounts are assets. This includes 401(k) accounts and pensions. The laws are different in every state, so it is advisable to consult a divorce attorney when dividing your retirement accounts, and you should also consult federal tax laws relating to the division of a retirement account. • Business: A business, along with the property owned by that business, including accounts receivable, is an asset. You should consult the laws of your state to determine how a professional practice is valued in a divorce. • Taxes: Tax refunds, or carryover tax losses are also assets that you should keep in mind. There are specific rules for which tax credits you can claim. • Credit Cards: A credit card account can include assets that should be divided. Some credit cards accumulate airline miles or points for other purchases. Those, and your frequent flyer miles, are an asset as well. • Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks, etc. • Vehicles, RVs, Boats, etc.: Because these assets are easily moved, you should document them early in your divorce. • Timeshares • Collections, Antiques, and Artwork: Collections, antiques, and artwork around your house are assets that are sometimes quite valuable. Because these assets may be smaller and easy to move, they are more likely to disappear. You should make a record of them early in your divorce process. • Household Goods and Furnishings: Your regular household goods and furnishings are also assets. In many states, your household goods and furnishings will be valued at “yard sale price.” You should consult the laws of your state to determine how these assets will be valued. • Insurance Policies: Life insurance policies may be an asset. Some insurance policies have a cash value (for example, whole life insurance) because they develop a savings as premiums are paid. For whole life insurance policies, the insured may cash out the policy or take loans on the policy. A term life insurance policy (those policies for only a specific period of time) does not have a cash value, but may be used to secure future support payments.

youtube

• Degree or professional license: If and how degrees and licenses are valued as assets varies by state. Consult your divorce attorney to determine if these are an asset in the divorce. How Do I Know The Value Of My Assets? For some assets, you will be able to determine the value fairly easily (a checking account with a specific amount held in it, for example). For other assets, you may need to have an appraisal performed or to have an accountant determine the value. You should keep in mind whether the cost of an appraisal will be worth your while when valuing your assets. You should also consult the laws of your state to determine what you will need to do in order to be able to present or prove your values to the court. What About High Asset Divorces? If your divorce involves high assets or high net worth, the division of assets will be much more complex. You will need to consult with a divorce attorney who has extensive experience in the protection, valuation and distribution of significant assets.

What Happens in a Divorce?

Although divorce is common throughout the United States, the divorce process varies depending on the couple’s situation. Short-term marriages without children or property typically result in a less complex and time-consuming divorce than long-term marriages with significant property entanglements, marital debt, and minor children. Additionally, divorcing couples who work together to negotiate the terms of the divorce (child custody, child support, property division, debt allocation, and spousal support) will experience a less expensive and less stressful divorce than couples who can’t agree or refuse to work together. Step One: Filing the Divorce Petition Whether both spouses agree to the divorce or not, before any couple can begin the divorce process, one spouse must file a legal petition asking the court to terminate the marriage. The filing spouse must include the following information: • a statement which informs the court that at least one spouse meets the state’s residency requirements for divorce • a legal reason—or grounds—for the divorce, and • any other statutory information that your state requires. Residency requirements vary depending on where you live. States usually require at least one spouse to live in the state anywhere from 3 months to 12 months, and in the county where the spouse files at least 10 days to 6 months before filing the petition. Divorcing spouses must meet the state’s residency requirement before the court can accept the case. Grounds for divorce vary from state-to-state. However, all states offer divorcing couples the option to file a no-fault divorce. No-fault divorce is a streamlined process that allows spouses to file a divorce petition without listing a specific reason or placing blame on either spouse. If your spouse committed marital misconduct or caused the breakup, some states allow parties to claim “fault” for the divorce, like adultery or neglect. If you’re unsure whether you should file a no-fault or fault divorce, contact an experienced family law attorney in your state for guidance.

Step Two: Asking for Temporary Orders

Courts understand that the waiting period for divorce may not be possible for all couples. For example, if you are a stay-at-home parent that is raising your children and dependent on your spouse for financial support, waiting for 6-months for the judge to finalize your divorce probably seems impossible. When you file for divorce, the court allows you to ask the court for temporary court orders for child custody, child support, and spousal support. If you request a temporary order, the court will hold a hearing and request information from each spouse before deciding how to rule on the application. The judge will usually grant the temporary order quickly, and it will remain valid until the court orders otherwise or until the judge finalizes the divorce. Other temporary orders may include a request for status quo payments or temporary property restraining orders. Status quo orders typically require the breadwinner to continue paying marital debts throughout the divorce process. Temporary property restraining orders protect the marital estate from either spouse selling, giving away, or otherwise disposing of marital property during the divorce process. Restraining orders are usually mutual, meaning both spouses must follow it or risk being penalized by the court. If you need a temporary order but didn’t file your request at the time you filed for divorce, you’ll need to apply for temporary orders as quickly as possible. When you file for divorce, the court allows you to ask the court for temporary court orders for child custody, child support, and spousal support.

youtube

Step Three: Serve Your Spouse and Wait for a Response

After you file the petition for divorce and request for temporary orders, you need to provide a copy of the paperwork to your spouse and file proof of service with the court. Proof of service is a document that tells the court that you met the statutory requirements for giving a copy of the petition to your spouse. If you don’t properly serve your spouse, or if you neglect to file a proof of service with the court, the judge will be unable to proceed with your divorce case. Service of process can be easy, especially if your spouse agrees with the divorce and is willing to sign an acknowledgment of service. However, some spouses, especially ones that want to stay married or make the process complicated, can be evasive or try anything to frustrate the process. The easiest way to ensure proper service is for the filing spouse to hire a professional who is licensed and experienced in delivering legal documents to difficult parties. The cost is usually minimal and can help prevent a delay in your case. If your spouse retained an attorney, you could arrange to have the paperwork delivered to the attorney’s office. The party who receives the paperwork (usually titled “defendant” or “respondent”) must file an answer or reply to the divorce petition within a prescribed amount of time. Failure to respond could result in a “default” judgment against the non-responding spouse, which can be complicated and expensive to reverse. The responding party has the option to dispute the grounds for divorce (if a fault divorce), the allegations in the petition, or assert any disagreements as to property, support, custody, or any other divorce-related issues.

Step Four: Negotiate a Settlement In cases where the parties have differing opinions on important topics, like child custody, support, or property division, both spouses will need to work together to reach an agreement. Sometimes the court will schedule a settlement conference, which is where the parties and their attorneys will meet to discuss the status of the case. The court may schedule mediation, which is where a neutral third-party will help facilitate discussion between the spouses in hopes to resolve lingering issues. Some states require participation in mediation, while others do not. However, mediation often saves significant time and money during the divorce process, so it’s often a good route for many divorcing couples. Step Five: Divorce Trial Sometimes negotiations fail despite each spouse’s best efforts. If there are still issues that remain unresolved after mediation and other talks, the parties will need to ask the court for help, which means going to trial. A divorce trial is costly and time-consuming, plus it takes all the power away from the spouses and puts it in the hands of the judge. Negotiations and mediation sessions allow the couple to maintain control and have more predictable results than a divorce trial, so it’s best to avoid a trial if possible. Step Six: Finalizing the Judgment Whether you and your spouse negotiated throughout the divorce process, or a judge decided the significant issues for you, the final step of divorce comes when the judge signs the judgment of divorce. The judgment of divorce (or “order of dissolution”) ends the marriage and spells out the specifics about how the couple will allocate custodial responsibility and parenting time, child and spousal support, and how the couple will divide assets and debts. If the parties negotiated a settlement, the filing spouse’s attorney typically drafts the judgment. However, if the couple went through a divorce trial, the judge will issue the final order. When a couple divorces in Utah, they must divide their marital property equitably. If they’re not able to negotiate a settlement, they’ll have to ask the court to divide the marital property. The rule about equitable division doesn’t mean the division must be equal. Instead, the court has wide latitude to decide on a fair division based on each spouse’s contribution to the marital property and on each person’s projected future needs.

Marital Property and Separate Property

In a divorce, the distribution of property depends on which property belongs to the marriage – marital property – and which property belongs to each of the two spouses – separate property. Generally, marital property is property acquired or earned during the marriage, including earned income. Property used for the benefit of the marriage, even if it started out as separate property, may also be considered marital property. Separate property includes anything that belonged to one spouse before marriage and was kept separate throughout the marriage. It could also include property given only to one spouse during the marriage, like a gift made to the husband alone or an inheritance that the wife received from a member of her family. The most common types of property divided at divorce are real property like the family home, personal property like jewelry and clothing, and intangible financial assets like income, dividends, and benefits. All of the marital property must be divided between the spouses when the marriage ends, and marital debts must also be divided. The spouse who owns separate property gets to keep that property–it can’t be awarded to the other spouse.

youtube

Equitable Division of Property

Rather than rely on a hard and fast set of rules when splitting property between spouses, judges in Utah have discretion to consider a variety of factors unique to each marriage. Despite the court’s relative freedom to decide what is fair, it should always consider the length of the marriage and how the spouses acquired the marital property. It should also look at the conditions each spouse will face alone after the divorce, such as medical needs, and childcare costs. Each spouse’s level of education and earning potential are also relevant. Judges may divide property unequally after taking these factors, and others, into account.

Alimony Determined as Part of Equitable Division

In Utah, courts consider alimony as part of the equitable division of marital property. Alimony is a payment from one spouse to the other to help the recipient spouse maintain a lifestyle as close as possible to the standard of living the parties enjoyed during the marriage–and specifically, at the time they separated. If it is more equitable, the court might base alimony on the standard of living at the time of trial. The court also has the option to base alimony on the standard of living at the time of marriage if the marriage was short and there are no children. To determine the amount of alimony due, the court may consider either spouse’s fault in the deterioration of the marriage. The court also evaluates the recipient spouse’s financial resources, earning capacity, and whether that spouse worked in a business owned or operated by the obligated spouse (the one who has to pay). Additionally, the court looks at the obligated spouse’s ability to pay, the length of the marriage, who has custody of the children, and whether the obligated spouse’s earning capacity increased because the recipient spouse contributed to education or training during marriage. If one spouse is at the threshold of a major change in income because of the collective efforts of both spouses, that change also will be a factor in how the court divides the marital property and in the alimony award. Conversely, for a short marriage, the court could attempt to put the spouses back where they started as newlyweds, in terms of financial resources. Generally, alimony payments can last only as long as the number of years the marriage existed.

Marital Settlement Agreements

Throughout the process, divorcing spouses have opportunities to agree between themselves on what is a fair division. They can decide to sell certain assets and divide the proceeds, while allowing each spouse to keep certain other assets. Whatever agreements the spouses make, they can submit a marital settlement agreement to the court and a court will generally accept the agreement without further involvement. On the other hand, if the spouses cannot work together, or if there are certain items of property that they cannot agree on, then the court will decide for them.

The Future of the Trainees (part 7)

Amazing Kiss Seo Sunghyuk (Rank 51 -> Rank 19)

Chances – This boy has one of the most interesting stories on the show with two dramatic rises in ranks despite not that much focus actually being on it. I mean he was definitely the focus of his team in the group missions but Mnet didn’t pay much attention to that group in general, especially in comparison to other group. So what was the reason behind Sunghyuk’s first rise and survival in episode 5? What endeared him to the national producers? He was shown to be very worried about his team’s progress both in episode 3 and 4 and the gif of him helplessly standing while his teammates dance behind him is my favorite from the show. And while I definitely related to his struggles (there were definitely times when I was the Sunghyuk and I know that every group requires such a member who’s going to be worried about the progress and be sort of the killjoy while spurring everyone to work) I do not think that could’ve garnered enough interest around him for him to have jumped 44 ranks. I personally think that the reason why he appeared on the viewers’ radars was because of the speech he gave in his interview about his experience on the show. I feel like he did the best at finding the correct words to describe what all of the other trainees (especially ones that aren’t that popular). He said he was very worried because he wanted his journey on the show to be a little longer that he assumed it would be but he also made sure to point out how much fun he’s been having. It was all so earnest that it was hard not to root for this boy. Actually I think ‘earnest’ is the perfect word to describe him. He kneeled at the start of the 5th episode; he bawled when he passed the elimination, he’s just so earnest. And all that made contributed to his second rise in ranks where he jumped 32 ranks to end up in the Top 22. I do think that his rank fell a little by the elimination but either way he’s definitely making it into the Top35. The rest sort of depends on how much screentime is given to him in the 8th and 9th episodes which I’m not sure about because he didn’t get any focus at all in either episode 6 or 7. Either way I wish him the best although after I did a background check on his agency, all I found was the fact that an ex-H.O.T member is signed to it.

Skills – I was shocked to discover that he’s been a trainee for only 6 months – he’s got a good base for becoming an idol. He’s only 19 so he still has some time to train. I think that whoever you think is the best vocalist in the ‘Amazing Kiss’ is really up to what vocal color you prefer because they all did wonderfully. It is hard for me to judge his dance skills because his first performance didn’t include much dancing although I will point out that none of the moves that he did do looked awkward. And ‘Shock’ is good opportunity to see if someone has enough energy while performing on stage but not to really appraise someone’s dancing skills. I’m guessing dancing is where Sunghyuk is lacking in training but I don’t think he’ll have much trouble honing his skills.

Lee Gunhee (Rank 29 -> Rank 29)

Chances – With that stability in ranks and the 110k bonus, Gunhee is surely making it into the Top 35. I’ve mentioned that Mnet chose Gunhee to pay attention to out of all the RBW trainees and honestly I’m not too mad about that (I wish they payed attention to everyone but that’s stupid to expect at this point). Gunhee is very entertaining to watch – he has great reactions which are only emphasized by the size of his mouth. And he is also very talented, mainly a great vocalist (which I expected of an RBW trainee) and one that I would’ve been glad to see win the 110k bonus for the vocal position if I hadn’t realized whom everyone wanted to win. Because, while we were allowed to see a lot of good dancers through the dance battles, there were only two vocalists who really received a lot of attention – Woodam (who had to dance this time) and Jaehwan. And I knew right away that everyone was cheering for Jaehwan to get 1st place. My suspicions were confirmed when a lot of comments mentioned how they thought Jaehwan should’ve gotten the benefit. The upside is that none of these comments really mention that Gunhee is undeserving of the win or Gunhee at all for that matter, so hopefully no one is mad at him. Especially because he does deserve this win (so did Jaehwan and a couple of other vocalists but only one can win). I don’t think Gunhee is making it into the Top 22 but I’m excited to see him during concept evaluations and when RBW hopefully debuts all of the kids. Skills – Gunhee is a really good vocalist who isn’t that strong of a dancer. Honestly, he doesn’t really need to be, because while Mamamoo are absolutely amazing performers, their choreographies are fairly simple. So I assume that that’s the direction their possible new boygroup would go as well.

Jung Dongsu (Rank 35 -> Rank 30)

Chances –I’ll start by saying that Dongsu seems like someone who all the other trainees really like and are rooting for – I heard a lot of cheering when he passed the elimination in episode 5. And honestly I’m not surprised by that. I took notice of him in episode 1 or 2 when he kept talking to Samuel. As a solo trainee from his company who’s also very young and got the Regina George introduction when he came in, I assume that it was hard for Samuel to start a conversation first during the ranking evaluation. But Dongsu kept talking to him and that was very sweet. Even in the last episode when the focus was on Gunhee and Heeseok, Dongsu actually left the biggest impression on me during practice. He looked like he sat them down and was sort of like ‘Now, talk it out’. I wonder if that’s partially thanks to the fact that he knows what it’s like to be part of an idol group and what you need to do to maintain a good relationship within it. I also love how he and Namhyung always stick together, such best friends. The only thing I know about OFFROAD is their song ‘Head Banging’ so I am unsure about the group dynamics and whether or not Dongsu and Namhyung were always together in their group as well. Unfortunately, Namhyung’s probably not making it into the Top 35, while Dongsu probably is. Because, yes, while he didn’t get much focus in the last two episodes, I do think that he’s definitely making this cut although probably not the next one. Mnet should really mention that he and Namhyung are also part of an idol group that’s not doing too hot, so that when both of the members are eliminated, their group’s next comeback actually gets some attention (unless they disbanded, I couldn’t find any information confirming or denying my suspicions).

Skills – I said that your favorite vocalist would depend on whose vocal color you like the most and I like Dongsu’s a lot. He was the only vocalist I actually remembered from the introduction videos. I’ve seen some comments that he shouldn’t have use his nasal tone during his second part in ‘Amazing Kiss’ and while I did find it very jarring at first, the more I listen to the performance, the more it grows on me. But I might be biased. His dancing is good and he has great stage presence. The more I look at these talented ‘failed’ idols, the sadder I become.

Yoon Heeseok (Rank 30 -> Rank 45)

Chances – The Jellyfish girls were such a powerhouse last season that I can only imagine how much pressure was on Heeseok to succeed. But things haven’t been going his way, considering his complete lack of screentime. So in the last episode Mnet actually decided to make him the focus of his team, which is fair because Gunhee, Dongsu and Sunghyuk all received focus during the group mission. However, the nature of Heeseok’s edit is a bit confusing. Heeseok is disheartened when he doesn’t get to be center and makes things supposedly harder for him team. There’s also some unresolved tension between him and Gunhee due to Heeseok’s jealousy. But things get resolved, BoA compliments Heeseok and all seems well. I’m unsure how Mnet wants us to feel. On one hand, this isn’t a good edit – I don’t think anyone’s falling in love with Heeseok after this. However, it’s not an evil edit either. And honestly it would be stupid to evil-edit Heeseok – he’s not a threat to anyone, his ranking isn’t that high. So I don’t think there was any intention behind this edit besides showing an interesting story from their practice and perhaps putting Heeseok on the viewers’ radars. However, considering that this focus came a little too late (a day before the voting closed), I guess Mnet doesn’t really care if Heeseok makes it in episode 8 and just wanted to make sure that the Jellyfish trainee at least got some attention before elimination. On the bright side I think Jellyfish can afford to debut a boy group sometime soon and I’m sure if they do Heeseok will be part of it.

Skills – He’s a good vocalist, something that I have come to expect from Jellyfish. I loved how he sounded in ‘Call Me Baby’ and ‘Amazing Kiss’. He’s not, however, very good at masking his mistakes but that does come from experience and he’s only been a trainee for 6 months. I don’t think he’s very familiar with dancing but he’s shown that he can learn a choreography fast and perform it decently so with more training he’ll be really good.

a trip through murder rates: crash course in nick cave

here is the playlist, beneath lies the story.

i hope you enjoy.

1. i have an evident bias to rowland and rowland’s friends, it’s a slight one that is emphasized by an deep spiritual attachment, therefore we must start with rowland s. howard and not our dear nicholas. there were two main melbourne acts, one of which was nick’s just now forming ‘boys next door’ (which he decided to create with friends tracy pew and mick harvey after he was kicked outtuv art school), the other is rowland and ollie olsen’s ‘young charlatans.’ rowland was responsible for the creation of the boys next doors’ biggest song “shivers,” here is a clip of rowland and ollie speaking while with the young charlatans. ( x )

2. rowland wrote what i believe to be the perfect song, adaptable to all outlooks, at the age of sixteen as a comment on the over the top nature of teenage love. the song is initially a sarcastic one, yet has been redone so many times over that generally speaking it looses it’s cynical nature. this recording is the one done by the young charlatans, it’s original form with rowland on vocals.

3. this is actually about nick cave, i swear it, and here is where we get into that more so. here is a cover of nancy sinatra’s “these boots are made for walking” done by the boys next door some time in ‘78. i don’t know why nick sings like that, i’m assuming he had no sense of his vocal range at this time, and i wish the young charlatans had gotten a video but unfortunately the band split up fairly quick due to disputes between rowland and ollie.

+ there’s this house party, or maybe it’s a show, there’s mixed stories on this. but the general consensus is that nick, unruly and screwed all up on speed had been eyeing rowland for some time at this event. it was after a testosterone gun show in the bathrooms where nick ripped out a sink, that he found his fist in rowland’s face demanding to know if he was a punk or not. naturally, s a thin boy raised by women rowland was a bit disgusted by nick’s display, however took him up on his offer to meet again the following day when nick apologised. this eventually led to the creation of the birthday party, but before that rowland had managed to get a word in with his bandmates about that one song, y’know the one ..

4. here we see nick, all marionette gestures and heavy eyeliner belting his heart out over lyrics written by the tiny post ‘66 fender wielding raven shown briefly in the video. it’s undeniable that nick seemed to take this a lot more genuinely than rowland did, or at least that’s what he intended to display. this is the more popular version of the song, much glossier and easier to imagine being played at a high school dance than the previous version. this was all fine and dandy, now, but songs that sound like roxy music aren’t cool, man ! besides, every member of this band displays a talent that is remarkably astounding. the song is beautiful, yet tight, and though this is spectacular there’s much more beneath.

5. this is track is one of the birthday party’s first singles, released along with several other birthday party songs on a compilation called hee-haw which mainly consisted of the band’s earlier work. the cover art here is done by nick.

6. this track is off of the birthday party’s second record entitled ‘junkyard,’ released in 1981 and expressing more fluidity within their musical style with a certain wounded animal characteristic to the music jolted by the viciousness of nick’s voice. it is around this time, or perhaps some time before, that the band had found themselves penniless in london and retreated to berlin.

+ tensions have been steadily arising from day one due to rowland and nick’s individual stubbornness over artistic expression, nick is searching for an escape from the birthday party as he despises the route their presentation has taken. as most even vaguely punk sounding bands often realise that their audience doesn’’t so much care for the music but instead the thrill of seeing someone hurtling themselves into the ground repeatedly. no one wanted their name to be engraved in a violent history, and lucky for nick he sound his way out in berlin.

7. for some years now, the west berlin music scene has been a bustling hub of creation and innovation. with acts like abwarts and malaria surrounding, a young and reverse individual finds himself forming what would the band pioneering not only unconventional instruments but the proto-industrial movement. the band was based off a fairly simple concept; destruction as a means of creation, a notion adopted from this (x) marxist era essay as well as the factory-line like gentrification of the surrounding brick paradise. thus einstuzende neubauten was formed, and by the first glance nick felt as though he’d net his match. this rubber clad being of fire and metal was blixa bargeld, who you will see in this particular clip. (x) is a performance that shows off the impulsive and chaotic nature of the band as well as their use of out of the ordinary instruments.

8. this meeting of kindred spirits leads to nick definitively deciding to part ways with the birtday party. in an admittedly dick move, nick decided to call he record ‘the bad seeds ep,” presumably hoping to get a better feel for where he was going with his career. rowland and him are hardly speaking and they both have one foot out the door. his song is off of this bad seeds section, where nick begins to show his talent for world building and story telling.

9. this track’s off the opposite end, the part which belongs more so to the birthday party than it does to the bad seeds. i love this track for all it’s inconsistency, it attacks you from all sides musically and leaves you feeling dazed lyrically for a lack of being able to keep up. to me, this is the best way to bookend the band’s career. it displays maturity in style like no other while also perfecting the sound now heavily associated with not only the birthday party but no wave music in general.

+ below are bonus videos and music x ( mutiny sessions ) x ( live version of shivers sung by rowland with the boys next door ) x ( another song off of einsturzende’s halber mensch, my favourite )

10. admittedly i have neglected nick’s first two records ‘from her to eternity’ and ‘the first born is dead,’ i have a storage complex with my favourite musicians where i won’t listen to their entire discography because if i get stir crazy for new material then i can get familiar with one of the records i haven’t really heard. this track is off of his third record called ‘your funeral, my trial.’ like the previous two this was recorded with the first of the bad seeds lineup comprising of nick cave, mick harvey (of the birthday party), barry adamson (of magazine), blixa bargeld (of einsturzende neubauten), and for a short time hugo race. this track is one of the bad seed’s finest in my opinion, strong on atmosphere and tone with a plot line following a distinct character who’s in a strange bind - a hallmark of nick’s songwriting. this album sound tracked wim wenders film ‘wings of desire,’ with a cameo from nick and rowland in the final act.

11. let’s catch up to rowland for a moment, who is working somewhat parallel to nick as the guitarist for a band called the crime & city solution. rowland only worked with the band for one record, ‘room of lights,’ while in berlin where he was met with his brother, harry, playing bass, mick harvey once more on guitar, and a boy from a band called swell maps on drums named epic soundtracks. this clip is from the aforementioned ‘wings of desire,’ after this rowland and the mentioned members (minus harvey, replaced by rowland’s long-time girlfriend genevive mcguckin) broke off and formed these immortal souls.

12. a lot of musicians have released cover albums, and from what i can tell almost all of kicking against the pricks is except for this track. i wanted to display this song as it shows the broadness of nick’s vocal expression, in that this song makes me want to hang myself.

+ this is a little linear note about rowland’s work after crime, epic soundtrack’s origins, and who the fuck is nikki sudden again ? x ( these immortal souls: marry me (lie ! lie !) ), the project rowland worked on immediately after crime & city x ( swell maps: cake shop girl ), the band that epic soundtracks and brother nikki ‘little johnny thunders’ sudden came from initially, pioneers of what would become noise rock and grunge. x ( the jacobites: for the roses), nikki’s band with friend dave kusworth x ( nikki sudden & rowland s. howard: a quick thing ), a track from an album rowland did with nikki called ‘kiss you kidnapped charabanc’ x ( lydia lunch & rowland s. howard: burning skulls ), a song from the brilliant record cut on a whim based on a sense of familiarity between the two

13. this music video was recorded in the studio the song was recorded in, which is in berlin. this song was inspired by a girlfriend of nick’s and how she made him feel, a very momentous affair it seems to have been,

14. nick continues to make music as the end of the 1980s draws near, the first record of this time period is 'the good son,’ who’s most popular song is undoubtedly 'the weeping song.’ that track is definitely worth a listen as well, it is one of nick’s more popular tracks but it’s a rare full display of blixa’s vocals and a great duet. this song, however, is the title song and has a beautiful choir-sound to it which is present all throughout this album.

15. my favorite nick cave record is tied between this one and one that comes over twenty years after this one, but i’ll be damned if i don’t give this record the utmost appraisal. the album is more definitive in narrative than nick’s previous records, it all seems to be written to fit a particular story line and the sense of momentum in the record is impeccable. this track tells the story of the catholic saint, christina the astonishing, a story that nick was very attached to. as we further our way through his career his interest in catholicism becomes more and more apparent.

16. this song is the slowest on the album 'let love in,’ which is one of his most popular records. the most known track by nick - 'red right hand’ - is also off this album, but in my opinion it’s not the best track off the record. this song is inspired by a story nick read in robert smythe hichens’ “the green carnation,” and the unsettling nature of the story lingers in this song. it’s the counterpart to a song earlier in the album entitled simply 'do you love me?’

17. the huge thing about nick cave is his fascination for murder, something that, the more i learn about and listen to him doesn’t seem to be that huge of a fixation of his. at least not anymore than the bible is. this album, however, murder ballads, is obviously homicide centric. this track features kyle minogue on vocals as eliza day, but she isn’t the only guest vocalist on the album. on another track, henry lee (which is a must hear as well), there is another guest vocalist. pj harvey comes into the maelstrom of nick’s life, and as is displayed in the video, they become seamlessly intertwined in a romance that nick describes as one of the best events of his life. however, in nick’s own words, 'all things move towards their end, i knew before i met her that i would loose her …’

18. after the short lived romance between nick and pj, she leaves him feeling devastated. no one knows for sure why it is they split, but nick sure as hell took it like a landslide. this song is one off of his last album of the 90s, the boatman’s call, which is essentially the pj harvey breakup album. this song has stark similarities to tom waits’ first record, which rings nothing but lovely to my mind.

19. i really. really love rowland s. howard. he means everything to me, this is a song off his first solo album. i don’t know why i chose this one, maybe it’s because the proceeding two songs off it are too difficult for me to hear. he is so talented, he is so beautiful, i don’t know where these impressions of horrendousness come from. rowland is the kindest soul to every walk this earth, but um, here we are with another beautiful display of the sharpness of his guitar playing, and that aching voice of his. he’s my favorite guitarist, and the reason why is that he does not need to sing to tell you how much he is hurting - his guitar does that all on it’s own. we’re about to get heavy. 1999.

+ nick’s doing this shit called grinderman. i’ll be honest with you, i’ve never heard a line of it. and why ? because that mustache is an atrocity to not only to this earth, but to the heavens, hell, and purgatory as well. so there’s a pretty big gap in his discography after boatman’s call.

20. 2009. alright. so. i’m going to tell you this one thing first; rowland s. howard did not deserve to die. he did not deserve death, he did not deserve any of the numerous heartaches and horrendous experiences that he went through. he went his life a genius, and was scarcely ever recognized for his immense talent and uniqueness. rowland died in 2009 due to a liver disease. he wasn’t able to get a transfer in time. and look, rowland was not ready to die. he wanted so much more, he wanted everything of the world that he hadn’t the chance to reach before. he knew he was going to die, but he did not want to. i will tell you this with my heart bared open and bleedin to you - i would give up my life to have rowland back on this earth in a heartbeat. this song is from the last album he ever released, an album which i still find very difficult to listen to. he did not deserve to die. i don’t know where it is he acquired this seemingly immense hatred of himself, and the contempt for whatever actions he committed. he was the kindest, most loving soul to ever walk this earth, and i refuse to accept his passing as anything other than a true strike of hate by god to humanity. he means wonders to me.

21. so um. sorry. but nick comes back, with that record that i told you competes with henry’s dream to me. it’s called “and no more shall we part” and it is a really difficult record to speak of due to the cohesive story line there seems to be within it. this is the final track of the album, and i believe it sums it up pretty well. i think the line in here; “i think of my friends who died of exposure, and i remember other ones who died from the lack of it.” is in relation to rowland in the latter half. this song is sorrowful, without a doubt. this is the last record blixa did with him, stuck through for years. god bless him.

+ nocturama did not do well, neither did abattoir blues. i know nothing about dig lazarus dig, these three records remind me of rickety stairs on the way up to self discovery. in his 2016 movie, 'one more time with feeling,’ he mentions how you have to grow accustomed to being a new person. you have to suss out your new self, if this new you smokes or if this new you gave up smoking years ago, things like that. trying to find his place again. he did, of course, adjust to this new nick. and the product is brilliant.

22. nick outdoes himself time after time, throughout his entire career he has bested himself. please, do not take the initial crudeness of some of the first lyrics as a reason to discard this song, it’s off of his 2013 album push the sky away is without a doubt one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard. this record is one that is vicarious to me, these days i hear it every day to sleep and sometimes constantly throughout the day.

23. nick’s last record, 'skeleton tree’ was already in development before the death of his son, arthur. many of the lyrics in the record echo his last book, 'the sick bag song,’ especially in this track where the girl who dances on the rings of saturn is a reoccurring anomaly in the book. this record took everyone by storm, if that storm is freezing and you’re trapped inside a cold black marble home. this is the end of the nick cave train ride, thank you if listened and read the whole way through. this is essentially my bare bones.

As well as, that wishes to denationalize Wall Street so the big bankers could succeed along with precisely the type of schemes that brought about the failure from planet monetary markets and expense eight million Americans their tasks just 9 short years earlier. The assets discussed within this post might not be actually the most glittery or prominent providers in modern technology, yet they are assisted through strong fundamentals and also realistic appraisals - and I think that must win in the year in advance.

A lot of folks aimed to place me out of business through subversion ventures, but due to The lord creating credit cards, you can't quit Code Red. Bear in mind that this dining table only bears in mind natural (sell level) dividend development. I've observed a considerable amount of theater in my lifetime yet this part actually was the most unforgettable.

Right now create indisputable that was actually an additional challenging quarter for the provider to run in offered the spike in rates to end the quarter.

Unofficial Broken as Fuck Pathfinder Monster Template: Slasher

After a one-off Jason Voorhees knockoff accidentally became a major NPC in my current Pathfinder campaign, I realized I actually needed to make custom stats for him instead of just borrowing some from a monster in one of the Bestiaries - as those stats really weren’t suited to “Buddy” anymore. And in the process I made a template I could use for other Slashers in addition to him - both because there will probably be more of Buddy’s species in this campaign, and because why the fuck not? Since this is (ostensibly) a horror campaign, I made no real attempt to make this thing balanced. It’s a monster that murders real good, and if that’s what you want, here ya go.

I’m thinking of making to “subspecies” of this monster - one for psychic/magic slashers like Freddy, and one for swift, dextrous slashers like Ghostface from Scream. But for now, enjoy the vanilla edition - intended to help you make characters like Jason, Michael Myers, and Leatherface.

Slasher – An Unofficial Pathfinder Monster Template

Hulking, disfigured, and ridiculously skilled at dismembering living beings, Slashers are a horrifying group of undead monsters bound by a specific set of behavioral rules. Created to serve as vicious guards, every Slasher is bound to protect both its creator and a specific territory of the creator’s choosing. Said territory can range from anything as large as a lake or even a city, to something as small and simple as a single house. The larger the territory, the stronger the Slasher. Both the territory and the creator of the Slasher are jointly referred to as its Protectorate, and many of the Slasher’s strengths and weaknesses hinge on the status of its Protectorate.

Slashers are made by a dark necromancy ritual involving the sacrifice of a child – specifically a child that has a strong emotional connection with their parents, as these feelings are crucial to the spell. The child must be killed in a traumatic fashion as well, as it is the combination of loyalty to one’s parents, child-like simplicity, and horrific fear that creates the vengeful yet malleable spirit at the core of a Slasher’s being. A successful Slasher will view its creator with all the fondness and obedience a loving child shows its parent, and will treat all other creatures with the vicious hatred inspired by its own painful death.

Slashers abide by a warped moral code: their “parent” is good, and all other intelligent life forms are evil and must be destroyed. Children and non-sapient animals are the only other creatures that Slashers refuse to harm – this is believed to be a residual effect of the innocence and love that defined Slashers when they were still living beings. Anything that is both sapient and pubescent must be purged however, and Slashers seem to be particularly vicious towards teenagers.

The most notable aspect of Slashers is that they are essentially unkillable. While a Slasher’s physical form can be destroyed, it will eventually heal so long as it is near its Protectorate (either is creator, its territory, or both). If its carcass is taken from its Protectorate, the corpse will decay to nothingness while a new body for the Slasher grows near its Protectorate once more. Once must either destroy the Slasher’s Protectorate or attack the Slasher’s soul rather than its body to end a Slasher once and for all.

Slasher Template

“Slasher” is a template that can be applied to any humanoid creature with six levels in exclusively Martial classes (no spellcasting).

CR: Same as base creature + 5

AL: Any evil

Type: The creature’s type changes to Undead (augmented). Do not recalculate BAB, or saves.

Language: Slashers can understand any languages they did in life, but cannot speak beyond a handful of simple, monosyllabic words.

Ability Scores: Str + 10, Dex -2, Int -4, Cha +2

Armor Class: Natural Armor improves by +10

Hit Dice: Change all racial and class hit dies to d12s.

Defensive Abilities:

• DR 10/Positive Energy • Fast Healing 10: heals 10 HP per round • Protectorate: As long as its territory and/or “parent” exist, a Slasher cannot truly die. When reduced to 0 HP, its physical form will decay while a new one slowly forms out of ectoplasm either in its territory or by the side of its parent. It takes 1d6 weeks for the new Slasher’s body to completely regenerate. Only spells that attack the soul rather than the physical body can override this ability. • No constitution: substitutes charisma score instead when necessary (fortitude saves, some spell DCs, etc.) • Immune to mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, phantasms) • Immune to bleed damage, death effects, disease, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning • Immune to: nonlethal damage, ability drain, energy drain, damage to physical ability scores (strength, dexterity, and constitution), exhaustion, and fatigue • Harmed by positive energy and healed by negative energy • Immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless it also works on objects or is harmless) • Not affected by Raise Dead and Reincarnate spells/abilities. Resurrection and True Resurrection can affect them, turning them back into living creatures • Do not breath, eat, or sleep as necessity

Weaknesses: Slashers cannot intentionally harm children or small animals, and will only harm medium or larger animals in self-defense or in defense of their protectorate. Slashers also must remain within 100 feet of their Protectorate at all times. On the rare occasion they are taken away from their Protectorate, a Slasher will take 2d12 damage every hour they are apart until their body finally decomposes, which will force the Slasher to regenerate a new body next to their Protectorate.

While Slashers are autonomous to an extent, they must obey the commands of their creator (who is part of their protectorate) to the best of their ability. Slashers can only disobey commands that involve harming children or animals, or commands that worded confusingly (as Slashers are not very intelligent). While Slashers can understand language to an extent, they cannot speak more than a few monosyllabic words, and generally only communicate in inarticulate grunts. Left undirected, Slashers will simply guard their protectorate and kill anything they perceive as a threat – which is almost everything that isn’t a child or an animal. Slashers are terrible problem solvers and cannot formulate plans of their own.

Speed: Slashers move at a slow speed: 10 feet less than is usual for a creature of their size (i.e. a medium creature usually moves 30 feet per round, a Slasher moves 20 feet per round).

What is the Most Effective Performance Management Approach?

In an evolving workplace, there is a growing trend suggesting end-of-year performance reviews are no longer effective. To remedy this, some companies have decided to utilize software to improve their process. Other companies have elected to eliminate reviews altogether. What is the most effective performance management approach?

Sarah Haynes

Performance reviews are often the subject of much scorn and mockery in the corporate world. In my 15 years of consulting with dozens of clients, I’ve only encountered ONE that actually considered their performance management process to be integral to employee development, and truly valuable to their company. For the rest, it was a forced exercise that did not appear to be linked to results, aside from bitterness and regret. According to a Deloitte Insights survey, 58% of the companies polled reported that they view their current performance management process as not being an effective use of time and only 8% reported that their process drives high levels of value. Why is this?

Performance reviews are almost always linked to compensation.

Reviewees are motivated to score themselves as highly as possible in order to secure the best possible raise for themselves. Reviewers (the managers) are pushed by the company to average out the performance rating across all individuals in a given cost center. So, for every employee considered “exceptional”, there must be one considered “underperforming”. It’s a terrible trade-off, and one that often pits managers against staff. I’ve actually had a boss ask me if I’d be OK with a sub-par rating, because he really needed to give a large raise to my co-worker in order to keep him from quitting.

In order to make performance reviews effective, the direct link between reviews and compensation must be broken. This is the only way to create an environment for an honest conversation, where employees do not have to feel like they’re fighting for dollars and cents. Secondly, managers should be coached on how to provide effective feedback to employees. It’s not easy, and many managers will do anything to avoid an awkward conversation. Lastly, performance feedback should be provided on a regular basis, at least once per quarter. If you wait until the end of year to provide feedback on annual objectives, it’s way too late to correct course.

Only one of my bosses throughout my career actually cared enough to provide me with constructive feedback, during performance reviews, that I could use to improve my performance. I truly valued the insightful feedback he provided. Of the others, some were not involved enough with my work to be able to provide feedback, and the rest – well, I guess they just didn’t want to get into it. I know I would have appreciated it and felt more valued as an employee, if they had.

James Lawther

Fortunately, I am a deeply experienced manager with a track record of motivating and developing difficult employees. I know exactly how to create a team of world-class employees with outstanding engagement scores. So learning from the workplace I have put in place an annual performance review at home.

I love my wife very much, she is funny, clever, tolerant and — if I say so myself — very pretty. But when it comes down to domestic chores there are a few things she really could do better at, things that would dramatically improve her output and also increase her sense of work life balance.

It was important that I did this properly, I spent many hours researching my wife’s performance and crafting a review. My relationship is important to me, so I have done it by the book, I:

Sought out 360 degree feedback, consulting neighbours and children

Made sure the evidence I used was specific and to the point

Catalogued her strengths (of which there are many) first

Captured a few clear weaknesses development areas for her to work on

Her review reads like this:

Annual Performance Appraisal Manager: James Lawther Employee: Christine Lawther Role: Wife Key Skills and Competencies 1. Focus on Results: Below Average Strength – Action focus: Proven capability to cook amazing meals during visits from your parents. B. this strength could be leveraged by cooking amazing meals when your parents are not visiting. Development – Attention to Detail: On 3 separate occasions in the last week I have had to empty the washing machine and load the tumble dryer. This is a task for which I am not responsible as it is contained within your job description (wife). Development – Completing and Finishing: Constantly distracted by fighting children whilst trying to complete simple jobs e.g. ironing. You need to develop your multitasking ability. 2. Influencing Ability: Good Strength – Presentation: Very good at assuring me of the business case behind an investment in an expensive skiing holiday Development – Influencing Junior Staff: Repeatedly have to shout at children in an effort to get them out of the house in time to get to school. This is a particular problem with the 15-year-old daughter. 3. Communication Skills: Below Average Strength – Feedback: Ability to provide strong and timely feedback to me about my personal habits, specifically in relation to nocturnal activity and time keeping. N.B. there is a risk that this strength could become overplayed. Development – Instruction: Your map reading ability is less than perfect. We have repeatedly found ourselves lost in large cities because of your inability to communicate clearly and concisely. Unfortunately last year’s investment in satellite navigation technology this has not improved performance. Overall Rating: Below Standard The Performance Conversation The meeting I arranged with my wife to discuss her performance didn’t go nearly as well as I had hoped. My wife was withdrawn and I don’t believe she was really listening. She was very focused on the overall rating and we didn’t have a value adding conversation about the developmental feedback I had collated. My “active listening techniques” fell on deaf ears. Her demeanor was downright chilly until we discussed her annual pay rise. Then she warmed up quite dramatically. Pay for Performance I’m a big believer in linking performance appraisals to performance pay, nothing focuses attention in quite the same way as money. As I want my wife to be motivated to improve she needs to understand the consequences of poor performance. As evidenced in her appraisal her performance was below standard, so I had little choice but to hold her house keeping money at a constant level. If I had increased it I would have been accused of favoritism. When I explained this to her, my wife had the audacity to suggest that many of the things I discussed were outside of her control. She then become quite defensive and told me that I was equally accountable for household performance. A Waste of Time I won’t try another appraisal round next year. My wife wasn’t remotely grateful for all the time and effort I put into it. Instead I think we might just have a chat every now and then about the children. It might be more productive.

A Simple Question

If performance appraisals go badly at home, why on earth do we think they will go well at work?

Ted Hessing

The Science of Encouraging High Performance

We humans are funny creatures. We don’t always act in our own best self-interest. And when we get into groups we don’t always make better decisions. Sometimes we build entire organizational practices that are nonsensical, counterproductive, anachronistic, and/or that we ourselves would not want to be subject to. Case in Point; Performance Management.

let’s take a user perspective rather than a managerial perspective. After all, they should be the same thing, right? It’s always a good idea to start with the client in mind and, under this perspective, the contributors we are seeking to encourage to high performance would be our clients. This perspective can be best understood by the concepts of Servant Leadership. Here’s an overview of servant leadership if this term is new to you.

What’s My Motivation?

Most performance management techniques revolve around 2 axis; rewards or penalties. On the rewards side we can call it salary, bonus, compensation, or whatever. But generally people are incentivized to high productivity via rewards. The flip side are penalties which could range from reduction or absence of rewards to reduced or eliminated security, status, and stability.

But is that carrot and stick approach the best system to use? Turns out the science says ‘no.’

Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose

In Daniel Pinks excellent book Drive: the Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us (and eponymous TED Talks), he reveals that the research say unequivocally no. Rather than re-state Pink’s message (see above 10 min video for a great overview); Rewards don’t work the way you’d expect them to.

It turns out that after a certain amount of compensation, rewards are actually counter-productive in terms of increasing performance in any endeavor requiring a modicum of cognitive skill. After that magic level of compensation, people require other attributes to be present in order to Got that?

In other words, if you want higher performance, you have to pay people enough where they aren’t worried about money but then you have to enable 3 other key attributes; autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

Thus,the overwhelmingly most popular way of incentivizing performance, reward vs penalty, is wrong. if you want to maximize performance, it turns out that you must optimize for motivation.

So, how does one do that? What’s the right way to handle performance management? If rewards are wrong (or at least only part of the story), then it seems we’d best change our performance management process to the other key factors Pink identifies; Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose.

Let’s take each one step by step.

Purpose

Per Pink, Purpose is each team member being able to say “I know why I am here and what I contribute with (as an individual or as a team)” How do we maximize a sense of purpose? So, as managers with a strong background in quality and strategic deployment techniques seeking to maximize performance, how do we maximize a sense of purpose?

I like Simon Sinek’s approach of ‘Start with the Why. Again, if you haven’t seen this Ted talk, you’re missing out.

To my mind, conveying Why is all about alignment. Alignment between the strategic direction of the company and the front-line personnel executing the vision. Some techniques quality leaders can use that we can use to achieve, communicate and measure that alignment are:

Hoshin Kanri

Value Stream Mapping

Critical to Quality Mapping

Quality Functional Deployment

If we want to maximize performance management, it behooves us to make the alignment of why behind what people are being asked to do explicitly clear.

Often, when we make that alignment clear we find that much of the resources of time, talent, and energy that people are currently expending

are in pursuit of things that don’t matter or don’t matter as much as other goals they could be working towards. And that is clearly a waste.

Mastery

If the next attribute in results is Mastery, then it makes sense to incorporate this into our performance management techniques. How can we best help people pursue and achieve mastery of their professions?

Some tools we can use to monitor and maximize mastery are visual management principles and gauge R&R techniques. Perhaps the two that I like best are Skill Matrix boards – an excellent

visual management of team skill mastery and credibility as described by Ray Dalio in Principles. However, there are countless adaptations of each that we can apply to skill acquisition.

Also, it is helpful to recognize that every member of a company has a profession (what they do) and an industry they perform it in (where they do it.) It makes sense from a performance management standpoint to help contributors to develop a strong understanding of both the skills and context for their role and their industry at large. T shaped employee management is an excellent framework for this/

Autonomy

Now that we’ve addressed how to manage clear alignment and skill acquisition – the why’s and what’s of a role – let’s move on the how’s.

Again Pink helped us by illustrating how autonomy and empowerment are crucial pieces of the performance management puzzle. And we helped ourselves by showing the alignment of the highest strategic goals of the company

Now, autonomy is scary for many managers. To overcome this hurdle we could use a ‘trust but verify’ model of cascading dashboards and assigning responsible parties for work streams. And the autocratic manager will be happy with this. But autocratic leadership has it’s limits.

Sources: Business Case Studies and Cleverism

Perhaps the best way to encourage autonomy to meet our desired performance management goals is to favor the empowerment of a Team of Teams model such as the ones favored by General Stanley McChrystal (and others) in his book Team of Teams.

Autonomy is best served by employee empowerment. There is a link between employee desire to participate on autonomous teams and having a significant sense of ownership in team outcomes. Simply put, members of autonomous teams desire the ability to make decisions in an entrepreneurial climate without too much managerial interference. And arguably employee empowerment is best achieved through managers leading by illustrating a clear vision and then getting out of their way.

Bringing it All Together

As leaders it is important for us to recognize that performance management is itself a process. It’s subject to an equation Y=f(x) where f(x) is often more complex than we think. But fortunately, like any other process, it can be measured, faults found, and hypotheses tried, tested, and improved upon.

Robert Mitchell

As a Baldrige Examiner, I like to begin my roundtable discussions with a review of the Baldrige Criteria. Category 5 of the Criteria focuses on the Workforce. The Workforce category asks how the organization assesses Workforce Capability and Capacity needs and builds a workforce environment conducive to Engagement and High Performance. The Baldrige Criteria defines High Performance as ever-higher levels of overall organizational and individual performance, including quality, productivity, innovation rate and cycle time.

High performance results in improved service and value for customers and other stakeholders. High performance stems from and enhances workforce engagement. Some characteristics about workforce high performance:

It involves cooperation between management and the workforce; cooperation among work groups and teams; empowerment of employees and building personal accountability.

It may involve learning to build individual and organizational skills; creating flexible job design; decentralized decision making and making decisions closest to the front line.

My career experience, and observations of applicants to state and national quality programs using the Baldrige Criteria has revealed six key processes necessary to effectively encourage high performance:

A Formal on-boarding as part of the New Employee Orientation process

Providing immediate, open and honest feedback

Regular, periodic “pulse” surveys to measure employee satisfaction and engagement

Frank, two-way skip-level meetings between management and its people

A Career Pathing process to manage employee progression

A Learning & Development System that supports organizational needs and employee development

Systems & Structures supporting compensation, benefits and policies, rewards, recognition, as well as incentives to encourage continuous improvement, intelligent risk-taking, innovation and customer focus.

For more information about these key business and workforce processes, I highly recommend learning about the Baldrige Excellence Framework and attending Baldrige Evaluator training.

The thing i need to know is do i tell my insurance company about the claims that were less than 5 years ago or don't i? the reason is because my licence was taken away without a ban put back to provisional and now re-started fresh so do i still have to put them or not? Also if i do what would happen if i don't? Just out of curiosity as it would be a lot cheaper but if i have to i will obviously. Thanks

Insurance totalling my car looks suspicious?

At this point I regret making a claim and wish i could turn back the clock. I am being forced into a box and it looks shady. Three weeks ago my 2005 Cadillac STS was involved in a parking lot flood where the water rose and filled the floors of my car by about 4 inches. All us neighbors had cleaning parties using a wet vac and baking and toweling are cars in the sun over the next few days letting our vehicles dry out. On my car everything works like a dream as it did before with the exception of a 'check stability control' notice that comes on when I start the car. I have been driving the car fine since the flood and decided maybe I should make a claim to fix this error that pops up on the dash when i start the car. From the time I dropped it off at the dealer it has been all negative. Right away the dealer was negative and telling me it's the end of the world with my car, everything is ruined and it will probably be a total loss. He got the adjuster for my insurance company out there and it looks like it will be put in to the total loss category. No i am just asking the insurance company to forget everything and drop the claim because the damage is not that extreme and i dont want to lose my car. I am told at this point it is too late. Is that true? My neighbors are floored by this, i have been driving it around for a few weeks just fine and the car still looks new With only 62000 miles on it. I can't help from thinking that something suspicious is going on here. Do they stand to make a nice profit by totalling my vehicle and then replacing one module for a 1000 or so and having a perfect car with all systems working? Also the lady from the claims office said the car had to be 80% damaged for it to be a total loss. I asked her if this was based on speculative problems that they think may occur in the future because of the water, or based on actual damage now? She said it had to be actual damage now but couldn't give me any details from the adjuster yet. Can I demand that the adjuster list everything that he thinks has been damaged to my car (which I am convinced he will have to be creative to do so)? The car as i said drives wonderful, I checked the fluids on my own (fine), and the car looks new. Do I have any recourse here? I just want the car fixed for the one problem, i dont want to lose the car, and at this point I don't even care about having insurance fix the one problem, but again I am told it is too late to go backwards and drop this entire issue. I almost have an inclination to report this because it looks so shady. No reasonable person would look at, and drive this car and consider it a total loss. What is the agenda of the insurance company and cadillac dealer here? Something smells foul with this situation.""

His insurance is paying only $10,000 maxium. The cost for total fixing is going to be $13,561. My friend can't pay the difference of $3,561. Now what can she do? Is that the responsiblity of the guy who hit her? should he be the one to come up with the rest of the money? or is she out of luck? The car is in the collision center now. She's losing sleep and having headaches and sore neck, etc.. and missing work... and she still hasn't go see a doctor. Any advice for this poor girl?""

Ticket for no insurance?

Last year around September I made the grave mistake of letting a friend borrow my car to see his girlfriend and he claimed to have just gotten his license and it was supposed to come in the mail within the next week. I believed him and it's my fault, no question about that. He got pulled over and the cops gave him a ticket for no proof of insurance. And because he didn't have a license, they impounded my car for 30 days, but if he had gotten his license within that time, I could've retrieved my car earlier, but he was not cooperating. To make a long story short, I paid 1,500 out of my pocket to release my car from the impound lot, and my car was insured at the time but he was too dumb to find it in my glove compartment and got a ticket for 2,000. He now wants proof of insurance to dismiss the ticket but I'm not giving him it until I'm reimbursed for the impound fees. Is there any way he can get out of the no insurance ticket without proof of insurance? I live in California btw. Thanks!""

Male vs. female car insurance?

So as a 16 year old male driver, I'm aware that car insurance rates for me are significantly higher than a same age female driver, just because of my gender. How are insurance companies able to do this, no matter how many statistics they have saying we crash more, speed more often, ect...?

Now consider this: if statistics showed that blacks were twice as likely to crash than whites, could insurance companies charge more? No way! The NAACP would be all over them. That would be unfair to the black drivers that may drive safe. I just dont get why I am charged way more than what a girl gets charged, even though I am a very safe driver.""
