Vanna (pronounced in Italian vän'-na and in English väh'na) is a given name that first appeared in recorded European history circa 1294. The Italian medieval feminine name originated in Tuscany, and is particular to Florence, Italy.
Though similar in pronunciation to the Italian name Giovanna, and conjectured to be derived from it, Vanna is neither a nickname nor a derivation.
The name Vanna first appears in print in La Vita Nuova, a thirteenth-century book of verse written by Dante Alighieri, an Italian Florentine poet. In one verse, Dante writes that (anthropomorphized) Love itself proclaims that Vanna is 'Primavera' (Springtime) and declares that Beatrice's name is Love.
Vanna is also a Cambodian unisex name meaning "Gold." It originates from ancient Sanskrit. Cambodian names are chosen for various themes such as Nature and positive attributes.
The pronunciation of "Vanna" per Italian, Cambodian, and Hebrew origins of the name is VAHN-ah. In Khmer, the pronunciation of names generally stresses accent on the second syllable. (vähn AH)
In mathematical finance, the Greeks are the quantities representing the sensitivity of the price of derivatives such as options to a change in underlying parameters on which the value of an instrument or portfolio of financial instruments is dependent. The name is used because the most common of these sensitivities are denoted by Greek letters (as are some other finance measures). Collectively these have also been called the risk sensitivities,risk measures or hedge parameters.
The Greeks are vital tools in risk management. Each Greek measures the sensitivity of the value of a portfolio to a small change in a given underlying parameter, so that component risks may be treated in isolation, and the portfolio rebalanced accordingly to achieve a desired exposure; see for example delta hedging.
The Greeks in the Black–Scholes model are relatively easy to calculate, a desirable property of financial models, and are very useful for derivatives traders, especially those who seek to hedge their portfolios from adverse changes in market conditions. For this reason, those Greeks which are particularly useful for hedging—such as delta, theta, and vega—are well-defined for measuring changes in Price, Time and Volatility. Although rho is a primary input into the Black–Scholes model, the overall impact on the value of an option corresponding to changes in the risk-free interest rate is generally insignificant and therefore higher-order derivatives involving the risk-free interest rate are not common.
Vanna is an American post-hardcore/Hardcore punk band from Boston, Massachusetts.
The band formed in December 2004 by guitarists Nicholas Lambert and Evan Pharmakis. The duo recorded their first demo in Lambert's dorm room at MassArt, using the program Reason for drums. Soon after, they recruited drummer Brandon Davis (who at the time was playing guitar for the band Therefore I Am), bassist Shawn Marquis, and vocalist Joe Bragel. They then recorded and self released their first EP entitled This Will Be Our Little Secret. It was stated by bassist Shawn Marquis that only four or five pressings of forty copies each were produced. The five song EP quickly helped the band gain a strong local fan base. It was this EP that got them noticed to the record companies, and on November 15, 2005 the band was signed to Epitaph Records.
In March 2006 they released a split 7" vinyl with Therefore I Am, of which only 500 hand numbered copies were pressed (100 pink colored vinyl, 100 blue and 300 white). They then began recording their third EP and first release with Epitaph Records, The Search Party Never Came in February 2006. During the recording process, Vanna decided to part ways with original vocalist Joe Bragel. Nick Lambert filled in and took over on vocals for the recording of that album. After the departure of Joe and the release of the record in June 2006, they recruited Chris Preece as a vocalist of the band.
"Roam" is the fourth single from The B-52's' 1989 hit album Cosmic Thing, following "(Shake That) Cosmic Thing," "Channel Z," and "Love Shack." "Roam" was a number-three hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in March 1990, spending a total of 19 weeks on the chart, and was certified Gold by the RIAA. The vocals are sung by Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson. In February 1991 The B-52s were nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for "Roam".
Under Soil and Dirt is the debut studio album by American rock band The Story So Far. Prior to the album's release several songs were made available for streaming.
The Story So Far formed in Walnut Creek, California in 2007. The band consisted of Parker Cannon on vocals, Kevin Geyer and Kevin Ambrose on guitar, Ryan Torf on drums, and Kelen Capener on bass. Ambrose parted ways with the band when he went to college in 2008 and he was replaced by William Levy. In March 2010 it was announced the band had signed to Pure Noise. Two months later the band released an EP, While You Were Sleeping (2010). The band supported This Time Next Year in November. The band went on tour with The American Scene in January 2011.
Throughout the writing and recording process the band listened to Transit's Keep This to Yourself (2010). All of the band members "loved [Keep This to Yourself] and thought it was next level", according to Capener. The band thought that the "14 awesome, solid" songs were "fucking badass" that they "want[ed] to do", according to Levy. Levy and Geyer would listen to Elliott Smith, The Weakerthans, Wilco, Mother of Mercy, and Black Breath while driving. Levy described Under Soil and Dirt as "Pop-Punk, with lyrics about Girls and growing up; grooviness, lot of energy." Capener said the album isn't "really in your face, but at the same time, it is. It's an honest record, it packs a punch". Levy found it difficult to write material since Capener lived an hour away and Cannon living six hours away. At the time, Capener had a job and was in college.

Gold mouth speak grammar

No stash box so I am in is hampers
Fuck the police I can't god damn stand them
Blunt after blunt, now my eyes say tandic
You forced like a muslim eating a ham sandwich
While fuckin a white chicken, the ... not as that backwards
I'm always coughing like an astmathic
All because of my bad habits

Shottie so thick and it's ...ammo bastards
Shots to you told leave hammers dancing
Get it, hammers, dancing?
And now he got these bitches asking
Where the acid, be actually right here
Drop, drop on your tongue, take a trip my dear
No failure god, so god is there
For you I should be ultraviolet tears
Fibonacci and butney, we all giants like jimmy shocky
Now we just breathe on and breathe on
That nation of peons, that don't know we've been here for eons
And eonds, the world is a smoking smoke
I'm tryina get my eat on, feast on
Money knocks a rotten flesh, ain't nobody toppin this
Zombie we the mafia, ...running metropolis
This is far from perfection, late teens are suffer from depression
It wasn't the physical or love my reflection
It was more like metaphysical must have been takin...
I'm saving hip hop's to death then, I moved on then, created an intersection
Jigapat be the rock, I promise no interception
I know you like them drugs falling up in perception
Death long for christmas, I don't need another dead friend
Seriously man mary jane my lover and my best friend
And I thank her everyday for her blessings
Seriously man mary jane my lover and my best friend
And I thank her everyday for her blessings
Hail mary, hail mary, blow your smoke in the sky
Hail mary, hail mary, blow your smoke in the sky
Hail mary
Old the vent, war and then order
I witness the reporter, save a healthy man daughter
Only see the higher me, indulging this sobriety
And plus I drink up but weed, give me some variety
I reminisce living, never took a life
But sometimes I think different, and I contemplate killin
No rosary to clutch, no hoes for me to touch
If pussy my religion, then I pray before I cut
Insecure, imature, gradually I'm out of loss
I'm just buying time and I ain't never care the cost
Poppin some... headache turn to armageddon
If you actin like a girl cand be a woman at my wedding
So I pray you understand, as righteous as I am
If brenda's got a baby, I raise up like a man
Summer saying, with a 44 caliber, killin modern slaves
Spreading aids out in afrika
They reduce pay, still away for drug traffickin
Made it clear like it's sitting in the packaging
Times I wouldn't rap cause I was whack
There was a time I gave it back
I'm far away from death, and shit is really whack
Feelin so depressed yo
Will it give me will, or will it give me death roll?
Life is full of stress nigga but I never stress
Though a simple word of mouth
Never hear when you hear, jeez
Get that top on that air breeze
Shawty on the line coked up can you hear me?
Since you unaware, I'ma rare breed
This is real nigga shit, honey don't compare me
Life of a king and bleed life through poetic some
You ain't gotta be taliban to blow a bomb
Marvin gaye is today, ignorance is tomorrow
Sing sorrow and the whole world will follow
Hail mary, hail mary, blow your smoke in the sky
Hail mary, hail mary, blow your smoke in the sky
