September update #1 (September 8th 2018)
Happy Saturday Change Log!
a. Jailors Justice, Prudence, and Hope now have a chance of dropping a random piece from Omega or Ultima (hands, feet, and head - yes you still need to fight Love and AV)!
b. Jailor of Love has had the spawn time between waves of mobs reduced from 180 seconds to 120 seconds. Drop rates of Legs and Body from Homam have been increased; head, feet, and hands have been reduced.
c. Absolute Virtue drop rates of Legs and Body from the Nashira set have been increased; head, feet, and hands have been reduced.
2. Blue mage Adjustment part 1.
a. Blue mage will now natively obtain Dual wield I at 75. To equip an off hand weapon, you must use the equip set function.
b. Vertical Cleave will now grant 10 Blue Magic Skill and 10 attack when equipped.
c. Disseverment will now add 10 blue magic skill and 5 Magic attack bonus when equipped
d. Mind blast will now add 5 blue magic skill and 5 magic attack bonus when equipped.
e. Ice break will now add 5 blue magic skill and 5 magic attack bonus when equipped.
3. Ascended Sky
a. The Registrar of Deeds in Escha Ru'Aun will now accept your fully upgraded Ebur gear (Stage 5) and will return the Ebon Version of the gear. The Ebon version wraps up all of the augments into the piece itself, allowing further augments to be added. (The additional stats do not appear on the graphic for the item, they are hidden).
Bug fix (August 11th 2018)
Due to ongoing issues with the t1 and t2 npcs being greedaloxes, there will no longer be an augment system.
Just kidding. Gerlbotz and Rhap Talashpehn now work like the t3 augment npc.
You have to equip the item you want to augment, talk to the npc, then trade them the item and the shard together. If you put the shard in slot 1, the npcs will slap you, but they'll no longer eat your item.
They say they're sorry
Patch information (July 15th 2018)
Torcleaver has been updated so that paladin no longer gains the effect of dreadspikes when using samurai has a subjob. (melame says "sorry", chown).
Sam MAIN will benefit from a reduced version of the enhanced defender while under the effect of Seigan, Hasso will cancel these effects.
An error wherein berserk was giving reduced enmity has been removed.
An oversight in which berserk did not cancel out the effects of the "enhanced defender" upon usage, has been corrected.
Aftermath on Catastrophy and Quietus has been updated to be Ability haste instead of gear haste.
Patch information (July 9th 2018)
Quick update this morning:
1. Race changes have been processed
2. Chloris buds / glavoid shells have been removed as drops from NMs. If you have leftover shells or buds, Galloping Chocobo @base will accept them in lieu of Ancient Beast Coins.
3. Jaggity Eared Jack will now drop Vatical Fragments.
4. Ridill can now be equipped on Blue mage via equipset
5. An issue where the "nomad moogle" NPC @base would not properly change your job has been addressed.
6. Probably some other stuff I forgot.
July Patch information (July 7th 2018)
An error where the usky mini gods were giving the same shard rewards as the popped gods in sky has been corrected.
April Patch information ( April 2018)
So...about that April update...
It's here!...well...kind of...
Truth is, I didn't get as much done this month as I wanted to, I had some company for a week, and other excuses, and etc, and yadda yadda yadda. So, I'll try to come out with a few more things over the coming week, so we will bleed into may for a little bit.
I wanted though to give you guys something new for this weekend, so I'm gonna release what we have done:
1. A new shard quest: Subjob redux. Once per day, reset by the bayld reset npc, you will be able to trade Boirie a set of subjob items from either Buburimbu or Valkurm dunes. She will accept them and grant the following rewards:
If your level is under 37 you will receive one level and a 20% chance at a tier 1 shard.
If you are over 37 you will receive 10 bayld and a 20% chance at a tier 1 shard.
2. The tier 3 reward npc: Maleroune. Located next to the other shard npcs, Maleroune is here to sharpen your weapons! The process is a little different than the tier1 / tier 2 npcs.
1. Have the weapon (mainhand for every job except rng, cor, and bard who should have their item in their ranged slot) EQUPPED, and talk to Maleroune, who will confirm that your weapon/instrument is registered.
2. Then make sure you are on the job required for the augment you desire
3. Trade Maleroune the weapon/instrument and the shard.
Augments obtainable from this npc can be found at:
These changes will be live sometime this afternoon!
Hello everyone! Just want to let you all know as of next spawn, Bismarck has been adjusted to the following:
Enhanced movement speed, less susceptible to gravity and bind. Happy Hunting!
March Patch information (29 January 2018)
An error which would allow completion of level 80 mythic / relic weapons without killing the Treasures Kings has been corrected.
Quests for Blade: Ku and Impulse Drive have been implemented
The drop rate on Kirin’s Pole has been increased
A new NPC @base will accept a weapon or armor and an A. Ygg. Shard I (augment shard from kirin) and return the weapon or armor with an augment based on whether you are currently on a Melee, Mage, or Ranged job. See Gerlbotz for more details.
A new NPC @base will accept a weapon or armor and an A. Ygg. Shard II (augment shard from Jailor of love) and return the weapon or armor with an augment based on whether you are currently on a Melee, Mage or Ranged job. See Rhap Talashpehn for more details.
An item may be augmented more than once, but it will overwrite any previous augment.
More Augment information can be found at: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQUhuwILkCikjmnECfm9KKAdHVHRgi5Zijuk87xYdE9aFqbSWd39p9nwB5kdvf-YbW9_0iOu5ir4wUF/pubhtml?gid=0&single=true
A new command has been added: @aug allows you track your “Augment Bank”. The augment bank allows you to use increasing levels of augment npcs. Completing a tier 1 augment on any piece of armor or weapon will allow you, with the proper shard, to complete a tier 2 augment on the same piece, or another piece of your choosing.
A new fight has been added to Ascended Sky. 20 High Kindred Crests can be traded to begin the fight. This fight has 3 phases, so watch that treasure pool!
The Naga-Raja fight can drop the following:
First tier aptants
Hanbi’s pop item
Hadean Abj. Body
Phantasm Abj. Body
Linen alex purse
The Seigneur Shield has been modified; it has its original stats plus the following:
Shield size changed to 5
Converts a portion of damage taken to mp
January Patch information (17 January 2018)
Job Ability Changes
1. BLM Elemental Seal will now act as a hate shed.
2. PLD Cover will now steal a portion of hate from the target and redirect it toward the PLD.
1. Ukko's Fury has had an ftp mod at 1000tp
2. Insurgency will now shed a portion of the player's enmity on the target it is used upon.
1. Elemental Ni spells have had a significant enmity bonus added to them, both CE and VE that is not dependent on spell damage.
2. Absorb tp now has a minimum amount of tp that can be asorbed.
1. The Mastery system has been introduced, as well as a new command: @mastery. By completing new content, players will be able to unlock unique bonuses for their characters. This will be constantly evolving content, allowing the player to choose from a large variety of bonuses from many challanges, and may have up to two masteries socketed.
Today we are releasing the first two:
Mastery: Year of the Dog (1% Triple Attack, 3 MACC)
Mastery: ToAU Kings (+1 refresh)
Socketed Masterys are activated by signet.
Some Mastery options may only be available for a short period of time.
Addendum, because i smashed enter too early:
1. KU NMs that previously spawned immediately upon server reset will now have a variable delay in their post server reset spawn time, and will behave normally after that spawn.
2. A correction has been made to the function of Berserker's torque. Previously it provided tp but in the wrong amount, and did not drain hp. This has been changed to correct both values.
New Server Address! (29 December 2017)
The new server address is game.hokutens.com
Job Adjustments (23 December 2017)
1. Defender adjustment: The enhanced defender will no longer apply to Thief, and berserk will cancel the effects of defender for those classes who get the "enhanced version." Those jobs who do not benefit from the enhanced defender will see no change.
2. Collaborator adjustment: Thief will now gain the effects of our "enhanced defender" upon using Collaborator. This effect will last longer than the recast of Collaborator.
3. Chant du Cygne adjustment: Chant du Cygne will now also grant a similar buff to Migawari. This buff applies after using the weaponskill and will be removed upon taking damage that would have removed 75% of the player's max hp, or the timer running out between weaponskills. The effect will negate the total damage on that hit.
4. Dragoon adjustment: Jump will now grant haste (magic type). This buff will last the same amount of time as the recast on jump.
5. Monk adjustment: Using Dodge will now result in a partial enmity shed.
These changes are now live, and will be evaluated over the coming weeks for impact.
Ascended Sky Rule Change (24 November 2017)
Ascended Sky Rule Change:
Tier 1 (Warders) -
These will remain unchanged and will not require a call of any sort. These are intended to be done with small groups whenever people see fit.
Tier 2 (Sky Gods, Pakecet and Kammavaka) -
Will now require an informal call, a simple heads up in LS that they are being done will suffice.
Tier 3 (Kirin, Yilan and Hanbi) -
Will now require an informal call as is the same with T2 and will have a minimum number requirement of 7 people to fight (not including alts) once the required number of people are amassed you can start the fight.
In addition, LS lotting rules are to be enforced hence, if you bring an alt you must state before the fight which character you will be rolling on and must follow the one lot per person requirement, this will remain true for all Tiers 1-3. Also, if someone asks to join in they will be included (all tiers) and the 50% rule for bosses will be in effect, unless otherwise agreed upon by everyone included.
-Hokutens Leadership Team
New Content and Content Updates! (18 November 2017)
Ascended Sky is now live! You must have access to Misareaux Coast to access Escha-Ru'Aun. Each entrance to Escha-Ru'Aun costs one Coalition Imprimatur. Three Coalition Imprimaturs are granted each day by talking to Urbano (Bayld/Daily Hunt reset NPC) @base.
Thanksgiving Sea-stravaganza! The following changes have been implemented in Sea:
Sea Jailers + Ix-mobs will drop Heavy Metal Pouches - these will disburse Ancient Beast Coins.
Jailer of Love will now drop Proto-Omega items at the same drop rate as Proto-Omega in Limbus (in addition to regular JoL normal drops).
Absolute Virtue is now live and will pop occasionally on JoL's death. AV will drop Proto-Ultima items (in addition to regular AV drops).
Bismarck Job Ability Correction (24 September 2017)
The job ability "Thar She Blows" now properly implements the Doom timer/effect. Stock up on those Holy Waters, as the timer will now reach zero!
Added Command (22 September 2017)
Added @mythicstatus. This command will let you know which of the TOAU kings you have killed.
Adjustment to Wildfire and HNM pops (30 August 2017)
Circumstances wherein the weaponskill Wildfire was not consuming ammunition upon use have been corrected.
Modifications have been made to the HNM (Faf/Nid, Behe/KB, Ada/Aspid) pop system. NQ pops may be more frequent, and HQ pops will be based on TOD and/or number of NQ kings killed. Drop rate of HQ pop items may be changed depending on impact, though no change has been made as of yet.
Adjustments to Wildfire and Jishnu's Radiance (24 August 2017)
Mythic Aftermaths have been implemented on these weaponskills.
Mythic Weaponskill Fight Adjustments (19 August 2017)
Gurfurlur's attack has been adjusted.
Auction House Updates (19 August 2017)
Several foods were removed from the Auction House.
Pandemonium Warden Loot Addition (2 August 2017)
Pandemonium Warden now drops a Kupon worth 25 Kinetic Units into every alliance member's inventory.
NM update (29 July 2017)
The issue wherein some placeholders stop respawning on certain lottery spawn nms should now be resolved. As a result, some NMs and their PHs can be up simultaneously. If you continue to see a problem with an NM, please put in a ticket.
Rules Change (20 July 2017)
Rule 3.8 Under Dual Boxing was changed from
If you are dual-boxing you cannot leave one character sitting at a NM location while you are playing another character. You must move your second character to a city zone or @base.
If you are dual-boxing, you cannot camp an NM while you are playing another character. It is also prohibited to camp or hold two NM spawn locations simultaneously. This includes trying to obtain Time of Death. You must move your second character to a city zone, base, or to same position as your first character.
Rules Change (4 July 2017)
Based on feedback from players and after discussion with the Leadership team, we have decided to implement two new rules related to players being AFK. These rules have been added to the Rules page (Rule 5.2 and Rule 8.1-4).
Job Ability Modification (27 June 2017)
In considering job balance the following change is being implemented on a trial basis:
For War, Mnk, Whm, Blm, Rdm, Thf, Drk, Bst, Brd, Nin, Drg, Smn, Blu, Cor, Pup, Dnc, and Sch; the job ability "Defender" will now provide the following -
- Significant physical damage reduction (Not calculated in -phys damage reduction cap)
- Significant magical damage reduction (Not calculated in -magical damage reduction cap)
- Significant Subtle blow + (Calculated in Subtle blow cap.)
- Defender will no longer reduce attack by 25%
- Defender will no longer increase defense by 25%
- For jobs not listed, defender will continue to provide -25% attack and +25% defense, but will not provide the additional benefit.
These changes are primarily to balance the desirability of melee jobs at certain HNM fights. We will be observing and considering the impact of this change for adjustment.
Event Modification (27 June 2017)
Three new items have been added to the Daily Hunt. You may now turn in Arondight, Boreas Cesti, and Boroka Earring for 15, 20, and 25 points respectively.
NM Modification (26 June 2017)
The drop rate on Kirin's pole has been adjusted.
Job Ability Modification (15 June 2017)
White Mage adjustment:
As of this morning the white mage ability Martyr will now have the added effect of transferring 50% of the WHM's enmity to the target. It still heals the target, and the hate transfer occurs after the heal.
Daily Hunt Modification (13 June 2017)
As the Rogetsurin NMs are not popping as intended, the turn in value of Rogetsurin has been reduced to 10 KU. To compensate for this, Nightmare Sword has been added to the 25 KU list.
Additionally, Bakka's wings will have the chance to drop Kupon A-Ab which can be turned in for 25 points, and Kupon A-ASYW which can be turned in for 50 points, both of which count towards the daily hunt total.
Sorry for the change, but it was clearly not the intention to have a 25 point item that drops 100% of the time every hour of the day.
Changes Announced for the Two Year Anniversary (11 June 2017)
- The Alexandrite items list has been modified. Mythic weapons have been removed, and you may now purchase the Celadon and/or Zaffe rocks for 40 Alexandrite each to build your Mythic. You will need to level the appropriate craft.

Valkyrie's Trews and Hedgehog Bomb have been removed from the Alex list as they have alternate ways of acquiring in game.
Ziphius added (31 May 2017)

May Month End Event Details (27 May 2017)
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Month End Event!
The Destrier Beret is available from Rhalo Davigoh @beach through the end of May. Please be sure you have one inventory slot open when you talk to her. The Beret is available for both Main Characters and Alternate/Second Characters.
Mythic Weaponskills can now be unlocked!
- Use the @mythic shop to purchase the weapon corresponding to the weaponskill you would like to unlock (note: you do NOT have to use the weapon. You do NOT have to have the weapon in your possession for the NM fights).
- Defeat the three Treasures of Aht Urhgan Beastman bosses (in any order). You will receive the "Kill Recorded" message once each boss is defeated:
- Gulool Ja Ja (located in Mamook)
- Gurfurlur the Menacing (located in Halvung)
- Medusa (located in Arrapago Reef)
- Gulool Ja Ja (located in Mamook)
- Trade the weapon to Zalsuhm in Muckvix's Junk Shop to unlock the weaponskill.
Note: this will unlock the Mythic Weaponskills. It does NOT grant the Mythic Weapons - those are still obtained the same two methods as in the past (Celadon/Zaffre Yggrete Rocks + appropriate craft OR purchase with Alex).
Directions for navigating to the bosses can be found on the Mythic Weaponskills page.
Rules Update (23 May 2017)
The "Lotting Rules" (Section 7) were modified to include details on how to handle items going Free Lot:
After two minutes, any un-lotted items will go Free Lot. A "Timekeeper" should be designated prior to the fight (if there is a Leader/GM/Admin in the alliance, they should act as Timekeeper). After two minutes, the Timekeeper will check lots and announce which items are Free Lot. These items do not count against the one item you may lot, but please be courteous to your fellow players and consider passing if someone else will get better use of the item.
Please see the Rules page, section 7.5.
Graphics Issue - Resolved (23 May 2017)
Issue with Qutrub model flashing is now resolved.

Bayld Vendor Adjustments (11 April 2017)
Bayld Vendor change: In order to keep bayld cost for materials consistent for comparable synths, two changes have been made to the Bayld vendor, Lucas. Siren's Hair and Cashmere thread have been replaced by Siren's macrame and Cashmere cloth, respectively. The trade in items will remain the same and are listed on the wiki. As always, the Admin team thanks you for playing on the Hokutens Private FFXI Server.
Scourge Adjustments (10 April 2017)
After repeated inquiries by multiple members, The Scourge Weaponskill numbers were investigated and have been adjusted to more closely approximate the other Relic Weaponskills. Its performance will be monitored over the following weeks and further adjustments may be made if it is deemed too high or too low.
Ix'Aern (Dragoon) Drop Rates Adjusted (09 April 2017)
It was reported that Ix'Drg drop rates were not consistent to what was reported on ffxiclopedia. Upon investigation, it appears that numbers were switched in the code. The issue has been rectified and drop rates have been adjusted accordingly.
Jailer of Love Adjustments (07 April 2017)
Jol has been changed:
- initial regen has been adjusted
- requirements for reducing initial regen have been adjusted
- 2 hour abilities have been added
- attack has been adjusted
- resistances have been adjusted
Augment System (31 March 2017)
New challenges and new rewards await…
Strange new Yggrettes are reported to be appearing on the bodies of some of the greatest challenges on Vana’diel! As it turns out, these strange stones have bizzare characteristics, and when properly applied, can unlock fantastic new properties on all manner of weapons and armors. So strap on your armor, cinch up your subligar, and find some friends; there are fiends that need killin’!
Beginning March 31st, Augments will be unlocked for our players here on Hokutens. New drops will be added to the following:
Kirin: Alizarin Yggrete Shard I
Jailer of Love: Alizarin Yggrete Shard II
Dark Ixion: Alizarin Yggrete Shard III
Bubbling Bernie: Phlox Yggrete Shard III
Sarameya: Alizarin Yggrete Shard IV
Tyger: Phlox Yggrete Shard IV
Tinnin: Russet Yggrete Shard IV
Tiamat: Alizarin Yggrete Shard V
Jormungand: Phlox Yggrete Shard V
Vrtra: Russet Yggrete Shard V
These drops may be used to progress the augmentation of your gear:
Stage One: Kirin
Stage Two: Jailer of Love
Stage Three: Dark Ixion and Bubbling Bernie
Stage Four: Sarameya, Tinnin, and Tyger
Stage Five: Tiamat, Jormungand, and Vrtra
Collecting the appropriate stones from each stage will allow you to increase the power of your augment. For a list of augments, and which slots they may be applied to, please click: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gTQk5PtGyJ8WuAfcq8sagjcJumbZ_7SusKkyvi0NkBM/pubhtml
Additionally, Glavoid Shells and Chloris Buds have been added as potential drops to NQ and HQ kings respectively. Exchanging 3 of each to Guillaulmilian will net you an Alizarin Yggrete Shard I or II! Cerberus and Khimaria drop Chloris Buds.
1. Each stage must be completed in order
2. Only one augment per item
3. Weapon augments may only be applied to weapons equip-able in the "Main" slot
4. Augments may not be exchanged once a path is chosen, though you may start over on a different path
5. When you are ready to claim your augment, you must put in a ticket, please do not ask GMs directly in game. Marathon, Fishy, or Aydann will reply to your ticket and augment your item.
6. Please be respectful of your fellow players and only lot fragments for the stage you are currently working on
7. Normal LS lotting rules apply - if you lot a stone, you may not lot another item
Dynamis Changes (30 March 2017)
When we instituted the Dynamis changes a couple months ago, we said we would check and adjust as needed, based on relic progression and feedback from the community.
While we had previously increased the rate and quantity of 100-piece currency obtained by trading Bakka’s Wings to the NPC, the Admin team was still hearing that relic progression was slow and the time spent in Dynamis was taking away from the flexibility to participate in other activities.
Accordingly, we will be making the following changes to Dynamis, effective Sunday, April 2nd:
1. Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, Bonus Currency will be turned on for the following zones:
Bastok/Sandy/Windy/Valkurm/Bubu/Qufim – 6 pieces of the appropriate type
Beauc/Jeuno – 6 pieces (2 of each type)
Xarcabard – 9 pieces (3 of each type)
Tuesdays/Thursdays, currency will be on from approximately 7 AM until Midnight (Eastern time). Sundays, currency will be on from approximately 9 AM until Midnight (Eastern time). The GM/Admin team will not be setting a schedule of runs, allowing you the freedom to tackle the zones you need most. That being said, collaboration is encouraged and expected – please try and get a group together rather than soloing a zone. Please exit the zone as soon as you have finished, allowing others to enter.
We are not changing the Key Item check for Bonus Currency. Alt/Second characters may participate in Dynamis, but only the main character in possession of the Atma of the Beyond will receive the automatic currency drops to their inventory. Main characters take preference over alt/second characters – if a run is full, alt/second characters must drop to make room for main characters.
2. Currency will no longer automatically drop to your inventory when the boss is killed the rest of the week – ONLY on Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday.
The Admin team will continue to monitor Dynamis and relic progression and may adjust drop rates, the zones providing currency, and Bakka’s Wing trade rates in the future. Any changes will continue to be cross-posted to Facebook and the Wiki.
~Hokutens Admin Team
NPC Guillaulmilian added (30 March 2017)
Introducing a new staff member to help service your adventuring needs. Meet Guillaulmilian. He likes Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches, long walks in dark alleys, and is the head of the 'Bring back the Gilmore Girls' movement. In his free time, when not making Lorelai fan art, he spends all of his time in Dynamis. So much so, he's sitting on stacks and stacks of single currencies. Trade him any hundred piece and for the service fee of one single, he'll give you a stack of the corresponding singles. If you are in need of singles, head on over to Base, where he has set himself up behind the counter with the bayld vendors.
Update to Tiamat (26 March 2017)
- Tiamat's Regen has been lowered.
Disclaimer: Additional updates may be made upon further testing and will be noted here.
Update to Dynamis Valkurm (26 March 2017)
Currency has been added to the Zone boss. With it, high resistances and regen have also been added to the boss. To combat this, three NMs in the zone will reduce the buffs on the Mega Boss. Defeating Fairy Ring, Stcemqestcint, and Nant'ina will reduce the amount of resistance and regen the Boss has. The reduction stacks with each NM kill, resulting in the 'Standard' Boss when all three are dead.
Update to Pandemonium Warden (23 March 2017)
The Warden is live! Thanks to people who participated in our test, but there have been some changes made to the final code:
- An additional JA has been added to the Cerberus form
- Ranged resistance has been adjusted
Disclaimer: Additional adjustments may be made to the fight, and will be noted in this post.
Update to Bakka's Wings (11 March 2017)
Oops! Jadamo over bought! Everything must go!
The concern has been raised that Dynamis seems to be taking over the server in the wake of opening it up to a less restrictive schedule as people race for that next Relic with Daily Dynamis runs leaving no time for other events. Also that the amount of currency available for trade is less than what it used to be (Recent studies by the Accredited Moogle Network show this not to be the case, but that investors are holding on to their currency tighter than before). Referring to my first post, from an Admin point of view, I would say don't run Dynamis everyday, enjoy other aspects of the game, have that next relic take a little while longer to obtain, and prolong your experience on the server. I realize, however, that I am just the 'Voice of the Man' and do everything in my power to 'keep the little guy down' and no one will listen to that advice.
So, to hopefully alleviate the feelings of needing to do Dynamis everyday to stay on relic progression, the reward distribution of Jadamo has been changed. Many activities on the server reward Bakka wings. Jadamo, has recently received a huge shipment of Ancient Currency and is looking to clear his stock. The chance to receive currency has been slightly increased with an even chance across all three. The minimum payout is now 2 with the rare possibility of obtaining 3. Considering the time commitment to complete a Dynamis vs. the time commitment to obtain Bakka Wings, this should easily bridge any perceived decrease in currency flow and will hopefully encourage other events while still obtaining currency.
Disclaimer: Balance and longevity is still our top priority. We will continue to monitor both and if this breaks either by an influx of currency due to spamming both Dynamis and Bakkas, we will look to revise again.

SAP Financial Services Data Platform
SAP Financial Services Data Platform (SAP FSDP) is a new development based on HANA 2 and XSA. It consists of the HANA Data Management Suite, the SAP Power Designer and the Financial Data Services Data Management (FSDM) module. As Partner for SAP FSDP and with best-practice solutions, we ensure the successful implementation of SAP FSDP and its efficient use.
Practical use of the reference data model
Introduction & application of technical components
Build-up of know-how
ADWEKO is Partner for SAP FSDP
Close exchange with SAP
Target architecture and embedding in system landscape
SAP FSDP consists of the HANA Data Management Suite, the SAP Power Designer and the Financial Data Services Data Management (FSDM) module.
With the HANA Data Management Suite the most modern methods of data provision and application development of SAP can be used. However, challenges arise to integrate FSDP and the required components into the enterprise infrastructure and internal processes. This applies in particular to customers who previously mainly used SAP NetWeaver applications.
ADWEKO supports you in making promising and sustainable decisions in the area of architecture and infrastructure.
Practical use of the reference data model
SAP delivers a standard data model as a reference. This consists of a conceptual data model (CDM) and a physical data model (PDM). The reference data model offers the advantage of being able to draw on SAP's experience in financial service data modeling. There is no need to model your own data model on the drawing board. In addition, the standard model can be customized with enhancements.
However, ADWEKO recommends - as far as possible - using the entities of the standard. This has decisive advantages such as:
- Largest possible standard integration with SAP applications and third-party solutions
- TCO savings in the development and maintenance of a customer-specific data model
With many years of experience in SAP Financial Services and outstanding expertise in accounting and reporting, ADWEKO supports you in mapping the customer's entities and data points to the SAP reference model as well as in the connection of accepting systems.
The Financial Service Data Platform is an integrative data platform. Once the source data has been mapped to the FSDM data model, it must be loaded with the specific interfaces to ensure bi-temporal versioning. For this it is necessary to connect the data sources to the HANA database.
With years of expertise in connecting and integrating source data, ADWEKO supports you in the selection of the right tools, the architecture of the ETL process and the implementation and operation of data loading.
The following overview provides a selection of possible target architectures and techniques for data integration in FSDP:
- The "state of the art" open source solution to manage data streams
- Implementation of streaming or batch loading with the help of Kafka and complementary tools such as Kafka Streams or Spark
- Embedding in a Hadoop Data Lake possible
Smart Data Access and Smart Data Integration
- SAP HANA native tools for data integration from external sources
- SAP HANA flowgraphs or SQL procedures offer the possibility for data transformation and integration of the write interfaces of SAP FSDM
- SAP HANA task chains offer the possibility to define dependencies on individual data loading processes, which can be controlled and scheduled with the SAP HANA task chain monitor
SAP Data Hub
- SAP's data integration platform of the future
- Connection of external systems and execution of individual scripts via graphical data pipelines
- Versatile adapters and interfaces to common SAP and non-SAP data sources
Dedicated ETL tools
- Tools such as Informatica, Talend or customer developments offer proven ETL processes and are often already used in existing system landscapes
- These tools can be adapted to the FSDM specific transformations
- In the last step, the HANA native FSDM dateload functions must be called
With the possibilities of SAP HANA 2, data from SAP FSDM can be prepared, aggregated and processed according to customer-specific requirements. We recommend the use of graphical modeling tools, such as calculation views, to create multidimensional reporting solutions very easily.
ADWEKO supports you in recording the reporting requirements and implements them with the appropriate HANA technologies.
SAP Analytics Cloud and FSDM
At the heart of the SAP Business Intelligence and Data Analysis strategy, everything is moving toward cloud-based solutions with the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC).
Through the standardized integration of SAC in FSDP and the simple use of FSDM data sources in SAC, real-time analysis and visualization tools for business departments or IT operations can be set up in the shortest possible time. This is all the more important as FSDM does not currently have a delivered GUI to view data without SQL knowledge.
ADWEKO introduces you to the possibilities of the SAP Analytics Cloud and implements your SAC integration, analysis and dashboards for FSDM.
Integration of S/4HANA Financial Service Product Subledger in SAP FSDP
The SAP Bank Analyzer solution smartAFI is replaced by the S/4 Add-on Financial Service Product Subledger (SAP FPSL).
In the medium term there will be a seamless integration between FSDM as data source and the FPSL add-on.The advantages of FPSL can be optimally used by the connection to FSDM and data redundancies can be reduced many times over.
ADWEKO analyses with you whether and how the SAP Financial Service Dataplatform can take a central position in your strategy in interaction with FPSL.
ADWEKO is Partner of SAP for the Financial Service Data Platform (FSDP). In close cooperation with SAP, we ensure that we are informed about the latest developments and trends in this area and that we can exert influence in the interests of our customers:
- Global implementation of partner enablements for the new data platform together with SAP colleagues
- Creation of demo content
- Visualization through dashboards in the SAP Analytics Cloud
- Questions from implementation projects and concept studies can be discussed unbureaucratically due to the close contacts with the SAP product and development team
We were already able to demonstrate the advantages of this close cooperation in our reference implementation project.

Project will offer education and prenatal care and alert doctors of potential problems during pregnancy
Submitted by Qualcomm Inc.
SÃO PAULO, December 5, 2022 /CSRwire/ - Qualcomm Incorporated – through its Qualcomm® Wireless Reach ™ initiative – in collaboration with MTM Tecnologia and the city of Campina Grande, and through an agreement with the Municipal Health Department and the Science and Technology Department, launch today the Saúde Inteligente Mobile (SIM) Maternity project. The project aims to reduce the number of hospitalizations for at-risk pregnant women and increase access to prenatal care in Campina Grande by leveraging mobile technologies. Through the mobile app, pregnant women, along with their healthcare providers can monitor their health, track pre-natal appointments, and be alerted of any pregnancy-related issues. The project is also part of a clinical study evaluating the use of mobile technology in improving maternal health.
The SIM Maternity mobile app is available on Android and iOS systems for all pregnant women in Campina Grande. Through the app, pregnant women can access educational materials, fill out follow-up forms, receive relevant alerts and messages and record the progress of their pregnancy.
“The SUS (Sistema Unico de Saúde) is the largest public health system in the world with approximately 70% of the Brazilian population depending on it. Our goal with the SIM program is to demonstrate how mobile technology can support a system as large and complex as the SUS to become more efficient. To do so, we are looking for a topic as relevant as pregnant women and in particular at-risk pregnant women”, adds Gustavo Perez, CEO of MTM Tecnologia.
Data collected by the app will be analyzed and shared with the healthcare providers through the project’s web-based platform. Having access to this information will allow the SIM Maternity project and healthcare teams to monitor the health of the pregnant women, as well as extract reports and health indicators. Through the app, key actions can be taken by the SIM Maternity health team such as: register observations, notify the medical team, review the patient’s medical history and access data and information submitted by the patient. In addition, the health team is notified whenever there is a potential health alert.
“Currently, most prenatal consultations are carried out by the family health team in primary health care units. These units have numerous other tasks in addition to performing this role. The use of mobile health tools brings opportunities to improve the monitoring, in addition to functioning as a true portal for health education”, says Francisco Soares, Vice President of Government Relations at Qualcomm Incorporated.
Qualcomm’s Artificial Intelligence team will perform data mining and trend analysis to identify patterns in order to enhance the analysis of the information sent to the health teams. The results of the analysis will be made available on the platform to the staff of the Municipal Health Department and the Department of Science and Technology, as well as clinic managers and healthcare teams.
The platform, which includes the website and the mobile application, was developed by MTM Tecnologia especially for SIM Maternity project, with the goal of improving maternal health by supporting patients through remote monitoring, providing access to educational resources, and increasing the communication between healthcare professionals and their patients.
“Prenatal care plays an important role in preventing complications in pregnancy. We are excited to bring wireless technologies to the city of Campina Grande to help with early detection and close follow-up of risk situations for pregnant women,” said Laryssa Almeida, Secretary of Science, Technology, and Information.
The epidemiological panorama of maternal and child health in Brazil shows high rates of maternal mortality, well above the Sustainable Development Goals of the World Health Organization (ODS - WHO). Brazil's mortality rate in 2017 was 64.5 deaths per 100,000 live births). Brazil is to reduce its maternal mortality by 50% to reach this target of 30 deaths per 100,000 live births1. In this scenario, prenatal care plays an important role in preventing pregnancy complications.
MTM is a software company located in Brazil that specializes in providing state-of-the-art software development platforms used by organizations in over 13 countries to implement and operate mobile and web applications. mobileCare, a special division of MTM specializing in healthcare, provides solutions that are used by hundreds of hospitals and clinics around the world directly impacting the lives of millions of patients and healthcare professionals.

Acute HIV and HIV Cure Studies
SEARCH 010 (RV254) is an observational study in Bangkok, Thailand, screening `30,000 prospective participants each year to identify antibody negative but HIV RNA (viral load) positive individuals with Acute HIV Infection (AHI). Participants are enrolled at the Anonymous Clinic of the Thai Red Cross AIDS Research Centre. The objective of SEARCH 010 is to describe clinical, immunological, and virological characteristics of persons with acute HIV infection, to understand the biological and cllinical impact of very early antiretroviral treatment, and to identify and follow volunteers who may be candidates for future HIV intervention or treatment protocols due to diagnosis and treatment during acute infection. Neurologic studies in SEARCH 010/RV254 include optional lumbar puncture, brain imaging approaches with MRI, neuropsychological and mood testing, and inventories of sociodemographic parameters.
SEARCH 013 (RV304) provides control data for comparison with SEARCH 010 and other studies. Involving a variety of optional procedures, including lumbar puncture, lymph node and gut biopsy, and MRI/MRS/DTI, SEARCH 013 compares HIV-negative and chronic HIV-positive participants to the AHI cohort of SEARCH 010. In particular, the study strives to characterize the immunological landscape of locations where viral reservoirs are established, including the gut mucosa and central nervous system.
SEARCH 022 was a treatment interruption study that tracked participants during analytical treatment interruption (ATI) after ART started in acute infection. As in all interruption studies at SEARCH, participants will be monitored frequently and put back on ART if rebound is detected.
SEARCH 025 (RV412) is an ongoing surveillance study for participants who have completed an analytic treatment interruption study at SEARCH. Most participants have resumed ART after viral load rebound and are followed closely during and after the phase of viral re-suppression. Participants not on ART at study start will be monitored closely and put back on ART if rebound is detected.
RV 398 is a protocol designed to study the co-administration of a vaccine and ART during Acute HIV Infection (AHI). The vaccine in question is VRC01, a monoclonal antibody capable of neutralizing HIV-1 by recognizing the location of the viral protein gp120, which binds to the host T-cell's CD4 receptor. This Phase I study examines the safety and impact of VRC01 (given in conjunction with conventional ART) on viral dynamics during AHI.
RV 397 is a treatment interruption study, recruiting from SEARCH 010, that tests the efficacy of VRC01 administration during analytic treatment interruption. The study enrolled HIV-infected participants who initiated antiretroviral therapy (ART) within the first few weeks of infection and who have successfully suppressed viral load with ART for at least two years. As in all interruption studies, participants were monitored frequently and put back on ART if rebound is detected.
SEARCH 018 (RV408) examines the impact on the nervous system of administering and adjunctive anti-inflammatory therapy with ART during AHI. The study investigates the effects of the anti-inflammatory agent, telmisartan, in reducing systemic immune activation and trafficking of activated and HIV-infected cells into the CNS.
SEARCH 026 (RV424) is a treatment interruption study designed to investigate the nervous system effects of co-administering a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor combined with other medications and ART, followed by ATI. The study recruited participants who had been on ART for at least 42 weeks from SEARCH 010. As in all interruption studies, participants were monitored frequently and put back on ART if rebound was detected.

Bill: Localization of Child Benefits
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 3814
|The Reform Option of Solentia is a strong proponent of child benefits. We support these given at the state level, as opposed to the national level. This way they can be administered in a way that best fits each state. Some states have a higher standard of living than others, which is why it is logical to allow states to set such policies themselves.|
Old value:: The state guarantees child benefit to families classified as low-income or poor.
Current: The state guarantees child benefit to all families.
Proposed: Child benefit policies are left to local governments.

MASON, Ohio - Jill Widmer, the mother of Ryan Widmer who gained national attention defending her son during his three trials, was found dead at her residence Monday.
According to the Warren County Coroner's office, Widmer's body was discovered by one of her sons at her Mason home just before noon.
The coroner's office said there were no obvious signs of trauma or foul play.
Widmer's son, Ryan, is serving 15 years to life for drowning his wife Sarah in their home's bathtub in 2008.
Widmer vigorously proclaimed her son’s innocence through his three separate trials. In an interview with WLW's Bill Cunningham in 2009, Widmer said her son was innocent and the evidence proved it.
"I would have thought differently. There was enough to come out that showed that this was just a tragic, tragic accident that could happen to anyone. I'm here to tell you if you have a son or daughter you could be in my family's shoes," she told Cunningham.
The first trial ended in a guilty verdict that was later thrown out because of juror misconduct. The second trial ended in a hung jury and in the third he was convicted.
Officials did not release any other details on Widmer's death at this time.
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.
9 On Your Side reporter Natasha Williams contributed to this report.

Is the religious right dead? Thats a question Daniel Burke, a CNN religion editor, asked March 2 in an analysis of Super Tuesday.
The exit polls paint a picture of a radically shifting religious landscape, Burke wrote.
He cited the hammer that is Donald Trump its only a matter of time before he starts referring to himself as The Ump, a la David Hasselhoff while referencing a Religious News Service post by Trinity College religion professor Mark Silk on spiritual politics (whatever that is) that ended with Religious Right, RIP. Christians were expected to christen the most God-fearing candidate probably not the best decision-making tactic when electing a world leader, but we digress and religious leaders cautioned against casting votes for Trump because he doesnt emulate their values, but that isnt what happened, and some feel they only have themselves to blame.
The religious right is reaping what they have sown: By drawing religious people into politics, people began to put their political preferences ahead of their religious values, said University of Notre Dame religion and politics expert David Campbell in the CNN report.
Burke also cited Hillary Clintons church appearances, the God gap between Christian conservatives and liberal Democrats, Bernie Sanders attractiveness to irreligious voters and Ted Cruzs emotional unavailability as factors contributing to the religious rights death in this election.

Evangeline Lilly Dancing In Tight Swimsuit On Camera
Canadian actress Evangeline Lilly made a splash with her incendiary dance in front of the mirror. Of course, I wish Evangeline Lilly was completely nude at this moment, but she was wearing a black bikini. The celebrity was actively shaking her gorgeous butt in black panties. She also performed smooth movements, during which Evangeline Lilly’s nude boobies almost jumped out of a small bra. Well, her dance was amazing and sexy, wasn’t it?

If you are making up sliding jigs for the tablesaw or other tools, consider steel rather than wood for the guide runners. Steel runners won't swell like wood will during high humidity to cause sticking and binding. You can ask local steel suppliers for cold rolled steel to fit the grooves, or use runners from dismantled miter gauges. Steel takes a little more effort to mount, but will provide years of hassle-free service.
Water trickling in copper pipe can make soldering a joint almost impossible because you can’t get the fitting hot enough. Stuffing a wad of bread into the pipe will absorb the water and you can get done before it dissolves. But use white bread; whole grains can get caught in valves. Before turning water back on, temporarily remove faucet aerator.

A short while ago I made a list of the official tilesets ranking (in my opinion) from the best to worst. Well, Tubelectric ranked second to last (Psych was last) so that was the perfect reason for me to make a level with it (I like a challenge). Anyways, the design on this CTF level is something I haven’t done before. This is where you come in. Because this is a new design and all (with all the pipes) I just want ur opinion if u like it more than my old design, like the old design more, or if you don’t really care. I lost all my mods so ur just gonna hafta be satisfied with the official music. Oh yes, almost forgot, I stacked a bunch of readme files in the thing. Kinda like Commander Dats does, but not quite as funny. Haha, they’re all inside jokes so most of them you won’t understand (unless it talks about you). If you do want to know what I mean then just ask the ppl I mentioned in them (don’t even bother askign Distruct about the Alarm Clock thingy). Now if you want a really funny story then just read at the bottom of the readme file. Also in that packed up file is basically everything that’s going on in my currently miserable life (if you don’t have JMMB around ya gotta think of some alternative).
Most of you think that I’m gone off the net and I have no internet and such and you won’t see me until late January or early February next year so you have reason to believe that I am a fraud that hacked Disguise’s (my) easy password (it is basic, lotsa ppl know it, even Dats). Well, yes. I haven’t got my original P3 450mhz anymore with internet. Dats purchased that from me. Also my other P200mmx has been sold to Distruct, so I’m stuck with my OLD P133mhz. Distruct is sleeping over so he has his PC over here that I made the level on.
Not a bad peice of work. Nice design and eye candy. And the Event placement if good all the way.
But, I do find that all the tubes make for confution, and take too long to get into your head on which goes where. Also, the base path isn’t the best ever, also the level is a little big.
Should be worth the download.
And Disguise, Tube Electric is a very nice tileset, really. :-)
Well, if i should rate the amount of blabla in the level info and the readme file (dont miss that one! awesome stories from Africa), "Troublesome Tubes" definitely would be in the Top 10.
Apart from that, the ZiP file contains a very awesome CTF map using one of my favourite tilesets. The tile placement is very original, i saw many interesting layer arrangements (thats what we call eyecandy) and the overall layout is really tight and therefore superb (some people won’t like that many tubes though).
Conclusion: i don’t have much too add, it’s just a Disguise download. EVERYONE should immediately ADD THiS MASTERPiECE to his/her level collection. No doubt.
Btw, seriously, in my opinion, you should not misuse J2O and readme files as chatboards for misc talk. Really. If people read your real life stories here later, they wont make much sense anymore.
In my opinion a GREAT CTF level by Disguise. I like the unique metal placement/eye candy. The base placement was good, the layout is decent and pretty fluent. Stuff was arranged nicely. My only real complaint was the base placement could have been improved.
Definitely worth your download. Click the “Download” link above please.
Heehee, the alarm clock bit was my favourite. HAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! It’s just too funny.
DEATH TO THE MOST EVIL HACKERS!!! YEAH!!!

Having been welcomed back to the Thrash Metal arena what seems like a lifetime ago with previous release Worship Music the silence will soon be broken to reveal the next stage in Anthrax’s plan. Back in November whilst on tour with Slayer we had the absolute delight of speaking with Joey Belladonna. Focusing primarily on brand new scintillating effort For All Kings, we spoke to the singer about what the recording process was like when creating the album. Giving a detailed account of what we can come to expect from a singing standpoint as well as what it was like incorporating new guitarist John Donais on the new record whilst also discuss classic Thrash origins and returns. Set to take the world by storm with For All Kings to be released in just two days time we welcome the new age of our five kings, this is Anthrax at their best.
Either listen to the completely unedited interview below on Soundcloud or read the full transcript underneath. Thanks again Joey!
Hello today, Joey Belladonna!
Hello, how are you today?
Excellent! Thank you ever so much for speaking with The Metalist. How have things been going so far on the tour?
Great! I mean we get along together, we’ve been friends for a long time Slayer and us. It’s just a nice package, good Metal. It’s a long tour! Theres been some interesting stuff going on, you know obviously the turn of events but overall it’s been great. We’re coming to the end right now, we’re almost done.
How many dates are left on the tour?
Oh we have eight shows in what eleven days?
Is that European or just the UK?
No, this tour we landed in Amsterdam and from here we have been back and forth we did all kinds of Spain, Italy, we’ve done a lot of stuff you know? Oslo, Germany, we’re going to Russia…
Recently you released the brand new single for “Evil Twin”, could tell us a little bit of what the song is about? I know that Scott writes the lyrics.
It’s self explanatory in the video, sometimes I hate elaborating on something because not writing it I don’t know all of what goes into, what came about to get it started. Obviously the theme is pretty straight up but a lot of times I know what the songs are about I believe in all this stuff and it’s nice to sing it but mainly I’m just into the song and how to work the song and make the song sound cool. I’ve always been like that when I listen to music, I really haven’t paid much attention sometimes to lyrics. I’m aware of the lyrics but I’m more into the melody, more into the song, the writing part of it, the chord configurations. Everything that goes into the music part of it. Lyrics have always been, even from the very beginning a lot of the time I didn’t even know what the guy was sayin or the girl was sayin’ if I was singing something. I just sang it! I put as much attitude as I can into something that’s destructive or whether it be just about everyday life you know?
So is that more in especially the chorus in the new track, the delivery of it?
I don’t take anything, once I hear the song, they bring it to me and I see the lyrics and a lot of the time I just glaze over what it’s saying I just find out what I am saying to enunciate the words and how to fit em in. I’m more contained with that than I am, I’m putting as much attitude anyhow it’s not like I’m going to have anymore hand gestures or more emotions. I have plenty of emotions going into everything regardless of it its an easy straight up topic.
What about the new record, For All Kings, can you tell us about what the writing process was like behind the record?
Well the writing process was kind of the same, I don’t know who comes in with what riff at what time in the very beginning. I’m sure that everyone is passing ideas around like the old days and then they go into preproduction and button up the arrangements and all that kind of stuff. When it comes to recording we obviously do drums first then we do the guitar, then we do the bass, then we do the lead vocals and the lead guitar. Everybody is separate, there’s really no one way to do it you know? I know one thing, we don’t record live in a studio. Its everybody separate. Some bands could go in and bang out the whole cut together maybe in isolated divisions and stuff but its pretty much what we have been doing for a long time now.
Is that because of logistics?
No, its just isolation, separation, their individual time. Considering when you are doing drums you want to contain all the time where the mics are set up and how the sounds are coming throug. When you do it live you’re busy trying to do it all at once its a lot more work! Not that it wouldn’t sound any better it’s just the way that we have been doing it! I go in alone myself with the producer me and Jay Russ, we go in and pretty much sing just right there and by the end of the day we got the cut up. I mean the song is pretty raring to go by the time I leave there, then we mail it out to everybody and if they dig it then we’re good to go for the next song. Its pretty easy, I mean at the same time I’m sure you could do a whole lot more and a whole lot less you never know. When you’re doing this some songs are a lot more challenging they might be busy, a lot of words, as usual that’s pretty much the case. Some songs really offer you a lot of room others quite a few spots this time around I have a lot more room to sing. And other times just as a tight window to try to fit everything in. A lot of variety on the record you know?
Could you tell us maybe some of the themes that you picked up on when you were singing?
Well, themes I don’t know. I’m not sure of themes, I mean obviously there are some parts that are a little hookier than others a little catchier sometimes some give me a little bit more of a broader range to do harmonies and layers. To make the song blossom in a different way stuff that I like to do I love building a song, piling on some fabric if you want. Just to make it cool, I always try to find somewhere to make it really awesome as much as I can. Just to sing it, I always try to channel something cool on it. Some songs just don’t give you that shot you know? Maybe you might find out the one I didn’t think I would have a shot on you might find it better than something I thought was cool, so it’s really all a matter of opinion too.
How was it incorporating Jonathan Donais into the album?
You know what I think it was pretty easy, as a musician he understands our music. We knew him, he knew us I think obviously there was some kind of guidance and working together with Charlie and maybe even Scott, finding placements and making sure that things are in the right context of what we’re looking for. I think he got most of it pretty quick! I don’t think there was any problems at all in fact, I enjoy all of the stuff and I think it fits in well so I’m very happy with the results. It’s a good style for me, I enjoy his style.
Did he bring maybe a new look, not a look but a new style slightly to the sound?
I think if anything it’s pretty melodic, there’s quite good aggression similar to Rob if you were to try and look for some comparisons that we just had in Worship Music so he came pretty close to that kind of thing.
What about the artwork for the record?
I don’t know. I never see that to be honest.
I don’t see the artwork, I don’t hear about the themes no one tells me anything. I just get an email saying you gotta take a picture so we can do this for artwork and it seems a bit strange and a bit weird but that’s the way it is. I like artwork and I know I have quite good opinions but apparently I don’t get to voice those that often so, it’s been like that since the beginning really…
What about your influences? You don’t write the songs but in the delivery who would you say is a big influence for you?
When I go in to sing a record I don’t, of course I am carrying spheres of influences and stuff but I’m not really being influenced by anyone when I go in there. The gloves are off when you go in there and do an Anthrax record. There’s really no time to sit around and dwell. I’ve never sang with anybody in mind and I never will, I like to be original, I like to just go in and let it roll. Let the voice be the voice and let the inspiration be the inspiration. I don’t really have any influences, I got tonnes of influences but I don’t think any of those people are coming in with me. I don’t even sit around and think, well this song could sound like so and so and I want to sing it like him. I could never do that and I never would. That’s the neat thing I have my own style and that’s cool.
Ok! What about the big four return performance, it was in Sofia Bulgaria I believe?
We had I don’t know how many shows we actually ended up with.
But was that the first one?
Sofia? I think so.
What was that like to have the big four all together again?
You know when you get there it’s like wow this is really happening and what is this really. It’s a fuckin’ great show! That’s all I looked at it as, I don’t know about the big four thing, I don’t know who came up with that word maybe it was just the name of a tour you know? Because people can say, well how did you get picked as the four? We’ve been around for quite a long time, I’m sure we can clarify that in some ways and whatever that is I don’t know. I just think it was a great line up and a tour that people dug. I’m sure that we could make up twelve more different line ups whether it be this type of tour (Slayer, Anthrax and Kvelertak) or that type of tour, its just a great bill.
Where did you come up with the name Anthrax?
Scott I think, I heard something that in school and thought that it was a really great name for a band. So…
Wow, as simple as that?
Yeah, I think so! It’s one of those things you can hear it, if it’s open for the taking I guess you do it. If it sounds good to you. It’s weird picking a name for a band.
Yeah! Some things just don’t ring right, other bands you can’t even pronounce it or you can’t read it. It stuck I guess you know? It wasn’t my idea, it was something they discovered in school.
We briefly mentioned about the Big Four, that whole Bay Area movement,, do you believe that there is another movement in a more modern scene?
I dunno, its hard for me to say I hate to be the one to dictate any kind of movement or anything I always feel weird about trying to plant any seeds of that type of thing. I think that everybody is aware of their own little movement that, whatever you like and what you’re into. Are you talking about doing a packaging that type of thing?
More of how back in the day there was so much influence in that movement do you believe that there is something similar going on now?
Who knew that we were going to do what we did and that we are able to do that with anybody giving a shit you know? I guess it really depends, I don’t know.
I was going to ask, did you ever think that you might become one of Metal’s heroes?
Oh god I was happy to be in a band! I lived in a small town and for me to be in a band that was actually worth playing in and actually worth being around people because a lot of times in the year and that would be it for a band. I have a cover band at home and we’ve been together eight years now, it’s hard to find that type of people that are really reliable. So for me to be in a band that existed and that was fun to do and good to be in was a lot! Being in Anthrax, in a band I had never fuckin’ heard before was a hell of a thing! There’s no doubt, nobody knew we were going to do it, even I didn’t. I was kind of reluctant at first too because it wasn’t a style that I thought that I would be joining but I thought that they were quite good and it looked like it had quite the potential. They seemed pretty serious so I just took a shot.
I think it worked out!
We work pretty hard at what we’re doing, everybody is pretty serious! Unfortunately there was a lapse in time when I was gone I don’t know what anybody was looking for to make that change but I think what I have done with the band I think is kind of unique and I’m glad that we’re still doing it you know?
Definitely, moving back into the present what’s 2016 got line up for you guys, after you release the album.
Before it we will head out with Lamb of God in the United States in January and February then we go with Iron Maiden to South America in March. The album will be released before that and then at that point I’m sure that we will come over here for Summer festivals then from there on I’m sure that we could headline or co headline again or go to a different country just start touring again or keep touring should I say!
I was going to say it’s quite a versatile package the Lamb of God tour, you’ve got Deafheaven as well. It’s a very eclectic mix, it’s kind of similar to the tour now with Kvelertak. What’s it been like going on after Kvelertak.
I don’t even think about it! They go on and we’re getting ready so I don’t even pay attention half the time. You get done eating, they go on, we get ready. I don’t know much about the band, they’re cool guys and everything its just that we are so into what we are doing. We know Slayer and how they roll and how we roll and kind of just roll with that! It’s a cool package, theres no doubt! I don’t know what everybody thinks of the package it seems like they’re working really quite well!
As we are kind of nearing the end of the year now, what is a particular high point that you have had this year?
With the band?
I guess the highpoint is to be able to finish the record successfully and actually do a really good job again and making a great record you know. It’s not easy, I literally go in and just bang it out. I don’t know what’s going to happen and neither does the band, when they hear this stuff back they haven’t heard any vocals.
It’s almost as if me handing a song of my own to them. Even though they put the song together but they had never heard any vocals prior to me singing it. They get it like a gift in the mail with me singing on it and if they dig it that’s cool. When you do that and they dig it it’s a great achievement you know? I like that, we have to like it and hopefully you like it! That’s a hell of an achievement.
That’s fantastic so they don’t hear anything at all!
No, I don’t do any preproduction. I’m the only one and I don’t even know what I’m gonna sing when I get in there! We literally a fax comes out of the machine with the paper and I go in headphones on and start banging away. Haul ass on it you know, it’s cool it’s kind of a free for all really to me in a way. It’s kind of a jam, a hard nosed critical jam.
To finish up has there a record over the last six months to a year that you have been listening to?
That I listened to in the last couple of months? Oh I listen to all kinds of shit! I am all over the board. All over the board.
Anything in particular?
Out of the hundred things that I have listened to I dunno! No seriously! My iPad is loaded with just an array of stuff, it could be Sade, Seal, it could be Sevendust it could be Kansas it could be Yes, Rush it could be anything! I got so much stuff I like to listen to.
A bit of Prog on there!
What would be that for me?
Yeah! Yes and Rush?
Yeah I guess so! Those are like to me the old Classic Rock like Kansas all that Deep Purple. I’m into Classic Rock my cover band, we do so much covers of Classic Rock old school stuff, Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd. My mind is always twisting with ideas and it just depends on what mood I’m in you know?
Well thank you ever so much for speaking to The Metalist today.
It’s been a pleasure thank you!
Anthrax’s brand new album For All Kings is set for a February 26th release via Nuclear Blast.

Dead Until Dark is the first book in the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampires series. (The series has been made into an HBO show called True Blood.)
Sookie Stackhouse is a small town southern waitress with not much going on in her life. Until she meets Bill, a vampire. And falls in love with him. When women start turning up dead in town, she wonders if falling for a vampire is the smartest idea...
I've heard such good things about this series, and decided to finally start it. It was a switch for me since most of what I've been reading lately has been young adult themed. This is NOT a young adult book. (Not to say it's full of smut either, but there is adult content!).
I am intrigued by the characters, interested to find out more about the vampires (I've heard Eric plays a bigger role in later books), and looking forward to what's coming up. There are currently eight books in the series, with another one coming out this spring.

I’ve got an infrared sauna that I use every day at different times. some times at 3 am when nothing else is on. I don’t understand why sense hasn’t found this device yet. It’s still listed in “other”. it seems to always pull the same amount of energy. This has been being used for a very long time, since i’ve had this sense unit installed (replacement unit) which was done in october.
any ideas on how to help get this device detected. i’ve tried being patient and hoping.
