Intro to Options. Part II : Option valuation and greeks
[Versiunea romaneasca] [MQLmagazine.com in romana] [English edition]
The evolution of option valuation models in time
Like any other assets transacted on a market, options go thru a valuation process. Traders of other assets make up their mind using technical analysis, they analyse previous prices in order to forecast evolution for the future, but when option markets were created, traders didn't had a clue on how option price forms up. That was the moment when the first option valuation model, the Black-Scholes model, largely used even nowadays, despite its limits, emerged. Once that traders had a model, even far from perfection, options could have been priced and have a market. After the appearance of every new option, the model role is to tell when options are overbought or oversold. However, the most important factors in option trading are option greeks, sensitivities of option price to several parameters that allow building up completely different strategies than the ones based on overbought/oversold situations or the simple ones based on underlying estimations. But again, these sensitivities are results of the option model as well. So let's review the option models….
The Black-Scholes model
Also called "the grand daddy" of the option models, it was the first and it has the largest use. It was made by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes in 1973 and it got them the Nobel prize for Economics in 1997. Its limits are:
a. it can be used only for european options (the ones that don't allow early exercise)
b. implied volatility (volatility plugged into the model that gives option value equal to option price) is considered constant;
c. no dividend payouts for the lifetime of the option.
The binomial model
It is based on the same assumptions as the Black-Scholes model, but adjusted to allow american option pricing ; also , it has a better integrity over time. It breakes down the interval to expiry into a series of steps, building a tree of underlying prices. Each step, the underlying is considered to go either up or down. However, it is not pricing the fact that most of the time markets don't move. This was its limit to be overcome by the next model, the trinomial model , that accounts for the fact that markets can stay. The model also takes into consideration the volatility smile which is not present in the previous ones. Since the trinomial model went pretty good, someone came with the idea to use more nodes , and so the adaptive mesh model was born.
The VSK model is a newer , different breed of option models. It means Volatility, Skewness and Kurtosis. Previous models accounted for a normal distribution of stock returns. But stock returns don't follow a normal distribution. The distribution may be different, so the model has to adjust for skewness , which is the disbalance of the mean (the mean is not in the middle of the event array) , and kurtosis , which is the fattening of the tail of the distribution's bell curve. The model is a Black-Scholes model adjusted for volatility, skewness and kurtosis.
The finite difference model is able to calculate the volatility surface created by skewness and kurtosis.
An option model outputs the option value, and option sensitivities, the greeks.
In this article I'm using and commenting charts from OptionTradingTips.com (statistics sites are source for distribution pictures). Also a very good option education source are the Options University courses by Ron Ianieri.
Delta is the first derivative of option value, indicating how much the value of the option will move at a modification in underlying price. This is why delta is called percent change. Delta is also called percent chance, its value indicating what is the chance for that option to expire in the money. Delta is at the same time hedge ratio , indicating how much of the underlying contract must be bought/sold in order to equal the movement in option price. Deltas are additive. The delta of an option portfolio made up by several options on the same underlying asset, is the sum of individual options delta times position sizes. This kind of delta is called position delta. If we are to include the underlying in a portfolio, we can say the underlying has a delta of 1.
Option Delta
Look carefully at these charts. Charts two and three might seem to contradict the first, but in the first chart the horizontal axis is the on money status of the options, whether in two and free the horizontal axis is the underlying price. Delta ranges from 0 to 1 for Call options, and from 0 to -1 for Put options. Please note that there is also a percentual notation for option, where options might have deltas of 100 or -100. The more out of the money options are, the closer to 0 delta is , i.e. options are almost insensitive to underlying shifts; the more in the money options are, the more extreme values it takes, i.e. options value almost copies underlying movement. Also, the sum of the call delta and the absolute value of it's correspondent put must yield 1 (or 100, if percentually).
Call Deltas and expiries
Strike | Jun | Jul | Oct | Jan |
25 | 1.00 | 0.99 | 0.94 | 0.90 |
35 | 0.80 | 0.80 | 0.78 | 0.77 |
45 | 0.60 | 0.61 | 0.63 | 0.64 |
55 | 0.40 | 0.42 | 0.48 | 0.51 |
65 | 0.20 | 0.23 | 0.33 | 0.38 |
75 | 0.00 | 0.04 | 0.18 | 0.26 |
Put Deltas and expiries
Strike | Jun | Jul | Oct | Jan |
25 | 0.00 | -0.01 | -0.06 | -0.10 |
35 | -0.20 | -0.20 | -0.21 | -0.23 |
45 | -0.40 | -0.39 | -0.37 | -0.36 |
55 | -0.60 | -0.58 | -0.52 | -0.48 |
65 | -0.80 | -0.77 | -0.67 | -0.61 |
75 | -1.00 | -0.96 | -0.82 | -0.74 |
As we look at farther expiries, we find decreasing deltas for ITM Calls, and increasing deltas for OTM Calls. For Put options, the situation is reversed : we find increasing deltas for ITM Puts, and decreasing deltas for OTM Puts (we may consider the same situation, but applied to the absolute delta value). Delta has a tendency to remain quite constant for ATM options. For farther expiries, the delta range (maximum and minimum delta per all strikes) is shrinking. As days go by, the ITM calls delta will be increasing (as chance to remain ITM goes higher) and the OTM calls delta will be decreasing (as their chance to become ITM decreases). Same behaviour applies to the absolute value of Put options delta. This effect is known as trumpification , which is a delta effect caused by time and volatility, that increases the deltas of OTM options, decreases the delta of ITM options, pushing them all towards 0.5 (absolute).
Gamma is the second derivative of option value, showing how much the delta moves at a movement in unerlying price (delta of the delta) .
The above graph shows gamma vs underlying price for 3 different strike prices. You can see that gamma increases as the option moves from being in-the-money reaching its peak when the option is at-the-money. Then as the option moves out-of-the-money the gamma then decreases. gamma is of two types : long and short. Long gamma (positive number) is obtained by buying an option, short gamma (negative number) is obtained by selling an option; gamma is the same for both calls and puts. Gamma is highest in the front month, at the ATM strikes.
Strike | Jun | Jul | Oct | Jan |
25 | 0.0000 | 0.0010 | 0.0070 | 0.0090 |
35 | 0.0044 | 0.0120 | 0.0168 | 0.0160 |
45 | 0.0396 | 0.0368 | 0.0264 | 0.0212 |
55 | 0.0750 | 0.0512 | 0.0312 | 0.0236 |
65 | 0.0378 | 0.0400 | 0.0296 | 0.0232 |
75 | 0.0040 | 0.0180 | 0.0230 | 0.0210 |
Gamma is additive, the same as delta is, and the sum of all gammas times position sizes for options on a certain underlying make the position gamma. Holding the underlying has no effect on position gamma, because underlying has 0 gamma, since its delta is constant.
Long gamma: if underlying goes up, delta increases ; if underlying goes down, delta decreases;
Short gamma: if underlying goes up, delta decreases ; if underlying goes down, delta increases.
Gamma Trading
Allows to flip the underlying back and forth, while hedged. In a Long Gamma Trading strategy, you can pick an underlying, be long on it, and also buy Puts to cover. From the expiry point of view, all movements in underlying are cancelled by the protective Put. Say you bought underlying at S price and your long Put has gamma power to create delta . If the underlying moves to S+1 , your long Put created already gamma deltas. These new deltas have to be hedged by selling underlying to cover it, thus becoming flat. Underlying moves back to S, and now you have -gamma deltas to hedge , which will be done by buying underlying. These trades will create profit, but you have to constantly fight the decay – because you payed money on the premium of the Put, which is constantly decaying as an effect of time.
The reverse strategy, that bets on larger decay than the underlying flips, is Short Gamma Trading. We will be long again on the underlying, but instead of buying puts, we will sell Calls. If the underlying moves to S+1 , the short call created already -gamma deltas, that have to be hedged by buying underlying. Underlying moves back to S, and now you have gamma deltas to hedge , which will be done by selling underlying. This strategy will create losses as underlying flips, but the goal of it is to collect premium from the sold calls, as the decay is slowly decreasing calls value. This strategy is applicable when we have momentum happening on the underlying, that is, when underlying volatility is increasing. Remember that in my previous article from the November edition, Volatility analysis : bridging the cap from volatility forecasting to price forecasting I stated that the price direction is much harder to forecast than the volatility. It is my belief that volatility analysis is to be used mostly for option trading rather than plain underlying trading. We will go back to these strategies as soon as both Strategy Tester and options will become available.
Vega – the volatility greek
And when we talk about volatility's influence on the option price, we talk about implied volatility rather than historical volatility (underlying volatility) . This implied volatility is the volatility plugged into the option model that yields the current price as option value. From this moment, "volatility" will be read as "implied volatility". Vega is not a greek letter, so the greek letter used for vega is actually Nu (uppercase N, lowercase v). The volatility "smile" refers to different strikes but in the same month. It is called smile because the ATM options have the lowest volatility, and OTM and ITM have higher volatilities. Following is a table of the volatility surface. Each series of strikes per each month make up a "volatility smile". Same strike volatilities, per a months, make up a "volatility tilt". Some option softwares contain volatility surface graphing (like this example).
Strike | Jun | Jul | Oct | Jan |
25 | 0.540 | 0.520 | 0.500 | 0.460 |
35 | 0.494 | 0.484 | 0.464 | 0.424 |
45 | 0.462 | 0.452 | 0.432 | 0.396 |
55 | 0.462 | 0.452 | 0.432 | 0.396 |
65 | 0.494 | 0.484 | 0.464 | 0.424 |
75 | 0.540 | 0.520 | 0.500 | 0.460 |
Smile and tilt are ways to analyse whether there volatility misprincings. Vertical spread is a strategy to use for a mispriced smile. A time spread strategy is used to take advantage from the misprice of a volatility tilt.Deciding whether volatility is too high or too low has to take into account the historical evolution of implied volatilities , and hopefully MetaQuotes will introduce in the CopyRates() an array for historical access to implied volatility. Volatility influences option prices directly. When volatility increases, all options go up , and when volatility decreases, all options go down. Volatility has a reversed effect on gamma. When volatility increases, gammas go down, and when volatility decreases, gammas go up.
Volatility evolution | ITM delta | ATM delta | OTM delta |
Increases | Decreases | Varies insignifiantly | Increases |
Decreases | Increases | Varies insignifiantly | Decreases |
Vega indicates how much the option price is going to move at a 1 percentual point move in volatility.
Vegas are additive too, however it is necessary that option prices to be adjusted to the same volatility before an analysis to be done. This will be done by picking up the volatility of an option and adjusting the other ones prices to that volatility, using their own vegas.
The behaviour of a vega across strikes is similar to gamma. However, the behaviour of vega in time is reversed compared to gamma. As expiries go farther and farther , gamma decreases, while vega increases.
Having a portfolio of options on the same underlying, the vega impact has to be estimated after all of them are brought to the same volatility (like a common denominator), i.e. by adding, on each one of them, n ticks multiplicated by each vega to make up the required average volatility.
Vega is important, because for farther expiries, it can be more powerful than delta.
Theta – the time greek
Theta measures an option's rate of decay over time. The decay applies to option's extrinsic value.
Now the value of the option is composed by the intrinsic value and extrinsic value. The intrinsic value is not subject of decay, because it measures what is rock solid at any given moment in time : the difference between underlying price and strike price, for Call options, or the reverse, for Put options. The extrinsic value accounts for chance given by time left to expiry: it is the difference between option price and intrinsic value. Since this chance is given by time, extrinsic value is called also time value.
The passing of the time has effect not only on option value, but also on delta. Because delta means "percent chance", it will decrease the delta of the OTM options, and will increase the delta of the ITM options. ATM options delta will remain unaffected. Because of this influence of time over delta, it has an influence also on gamma, depending on where delta was.
Theta , viewed across strikes and expiries, has quite the same pattern as gamma. Theta is always highest front month, ATM. However, front month very far ITM and OTM strikes might have smaller theta values than for the rest, because they lose their sensibility.
Rho – the interest rate greek
Rho is the change in option value that results from movements in interest rates.
The value is represented as the change in theoretical price of the option for a 1 percentage point movement in the underlying interest rate. For example, say you're pricing a Call option with a theoretical value of 2.50 that is showing a Rho value of .25. If interest rates increase from 5% to 6%, then the price of the call option, theoretically at least will increase from 2.50 to 2.75.
Take a look at the above graphs, which plot the Rho of a Call and a Put option at 3 different points in time, across a range of strike prices, with a spot price of 100.
There are also second tier greeks. These greeks quantify impact of volatility and time over delta , gamma and theta. These greeks are helpful for traders that trade options in a non-automated way, because they map the impacts of time and volatility on the first tier greeks. On the other hand, an automated options EA has to be programmed into permanently reading portfolio situation and first tier greeks in order to restructure portfolio according to them.
An application of the Black-Scholes model for european options including value and greeks determination can be found in our article Virtual methods in MQL5 – an application on options .

Identification of Breast Carcinomatous Tissue by Near-Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy
Applied Spectroscopy, Vol. 48, Issue 2, pp. 190-193 (1994)
Acrobat PDF (328 KB)
NIR reflectance spectra of 110 cryostat sections of carcinomatous tissue and 114 cryostat sections of normal surrounding fibro-glandular tissue from 10 cases of breast cancer, identified by a classical pathology method, were scanned between 1100 and 2500 nm by a grating spectrometer in reflectance mode. Four wavelength intervals (1208-1242, 1746-1788, 2012-2048 and 2326-2368 nm) were found to be different for normal and carcinomatous tissues. In each interval, the second-derivative spectra of normal tissue showed a similar pattern with several characteristic peaks. In order to test the capacity of NIR spectroscopy in discriminating between normal and carcinomatous breast samples, 104 tissue sections from five additional cases were scanned prior to microscopic examination. The diagnostic prediction of NIR spectroscopy coincided exactly with the histology diagnosis for all the samples. Moreover, the presence of even a minute quantity of cancer infiltration can be detected by NIR spectroscopy, in total accordance with the microscopical observation. Therefore, the results of our experiments allow us to consider that NIR spectroscopy might become, with feasible improvements, an accurate, rapid, and reliable method for detecting breast cancer.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a lite weight camping blanket to use for Spring camping?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a lite weight camping blanket to use for Spring camping?
When I go winter camping I'll sometimes use a fleece blanket over my sleeping bag.
A silk liner tends to increase the sleeping bag temperature by about 8F and takes up no packing space. However, if it is gong to be much colder than for your bag is rated, I use a fleece, sewed like a mummy, to match my bag. The only disadvantage, for me, is the extra bulk.
I finally got a warmer sleeping bag. If it's hot, unzip it or sleep on top of it. Crawl inside when cold.

Ditch the blanket notion and listen to the above advice. A really good sleeping bag suited for the situation you will use it for is the best item you will have to camp AFTER a decent tent.
You did not hear it from me,,,,,BUT, the cheap polyester blankets you get on the airlines are great. I especially like the old US Air blankets. Now that they charge you for them, it is no disgrace to take it home with you.
Actually I need it for insulation between my airbed and me for spring and late fall camping
Enjoying the ride, but always on the alert for a rally.......
I would suggest a better insulating pad, as a simple blanket is not going to provide very much insulation from the ground. For winter camping I bring along an extra foam mattress along with a Therm-a-Rest to increase the R-Value.
If you are using a simple air mattress, be aware that they do not provide very much insulation. Mattresses using foam such as Therm-A-Rest, Big Agnes, etc. are a much better option for colder weather. Check out the R-Values of different manufactures mattresses and find the one that is the best combination of weight, insulation, size and comfort for YOUR situation.
I've been using a surplus poncho liner. Thing wads up ridiculously small and there is barely any weight to it.
So small it fits in the sleeping bag cinch bag without any trouble WITH the sleeping bag.
I believe they can be had for $10-20, mine was a gift.
They seem to dry up pretty quick when they get wet.
+1 on the poncho liner. A great deal of warmth for little weight or space; affectionally known as woobies by many infantrymen. I carry one in addition to a very light weight (40 degrees) bag. If it's cold use the bag and the wobbie; if it's warm sleep on top of the bag and use just the woobie.

You can find micro-fleece blankets just by using Google. They come in all sizes are light, warm and very comfortable. I use an air mattress with a fitted sheet and micro-fleece blanket for temps down to 68degF. When its really cold about 10 > 30degF the fleece goes over my sleeping bag and a space blanket between the bag and the air mattress.

There's quite a selection of new pads that have come out in recent years.

I just got the new REI 3.5inch self inflater pad, NICE. Warm, self inflates quickly with TWO, yes 2 valves, which was my gripe before. Most have been a pain to inflate, deflate. No more with the new one. Its a top loader for its size, but works nicely on my Jesse Bags lid. Worth not carrying a electric pump to inflate my others, including the Big Agnes pad I was using. It too was a pain to inflate and took forever. Fixed with my new REI bed. I camp in Winter. Randy
Big agnus inflatable, insulated sleeping pad, adequate sleeping bag and tent. I made a little gizmo that I can hook up to my electric 12v tire pump to fill the sleeping pad, saves time and lets it inflate while I'm doing other things to get set up.

Diablo 3 is the greatest $60 paperweight I've ever owned. If Diablo 3 were a person, this would be my song to it. Read between the lines... any Diablo fan will get it. :)
sit and wait, the promise of virtue
you expect such a world much bigger
hesitate to do what they told you
no regret as you're pulling the trigger
here it is - the final production
what we have is a failure to launch
wait it out, temperment raging
taken back like a fire extinguished
you and i are not (today)
you will not succeed (won't play this game)
sit and wait, your disappointment
manifests in a sigh too feint
no debate, this just ain't worth it
run a test on the signal strength
no remorse (for) the wrath that follows
take a moment - you're redeeming yourself
such a force as you're self-defeatist
causes you to remember the time (that)
you and i were not (today)
you did not succeed (won't play this)
ten years that have passed (today)
see it's all in vein (won't play this game)
given up our time (you worthless motherfuckers)
repetitious stakes (you will not best us today)
you will not abide (into the future we go)
laughing in our face (avoiding you as we can)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
pretty damn good, and the lyrics can apply to things other than blizzards constant weekly fails!
i guess i was successful in that regard! i generally don't like giving out what my songs are about for that reason alone, but i thought i was too funny that lyrics to a song this awesome were about something so ridiculous i had to let it slip :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Epicness, that is all ! ^^
I think the melodic background should be a little-bit lower and get the "screamin' " up.
thanks for the feedback, sir. for the backup vocals i was goin' for a vibe similar to that from the verses from static-x's "machine" (really faint screaming in the background); i'll amp 'em up a bit for the final version, though :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I really like your music because there aren't many good rock / metal songs that have lyrics on new grounds , and i think there should be. keep up the good work.
thanks for the awesome compliment - i appreciate it! keep an eye out for new tunes!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
O snap! ALL MY STARS ARE BELONG TO THIS!!!
thanks bro! it'll only get better ;)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I have to say, this track is showing the continued improvement and dedication to your craft. The voice sounds more authentic than ever. If the mic setup was better, this would be completely radio ready. Couldn't hear the ( ) lyrics. Try turnin em up or panning them a bit cuz they get lost behind the guitar and the main vocal. Fav part breakdown at 2:30 and the strings that came in at 2:50. Metalocalypse epic.
thanks a lot for the review! quite encouraging coming from a musician such as yourself :D

Ayer Reveals Jared Leto's Tattooed "Suicide Squad" Joker
There have been a few glaring omissions in the newspaper comics world over the past few days.
The more serious one is the loss of Cul de Sac, one of freshest, funniest comics around, which will go on hiatus for three or four weeks while creator Richard Thompson goes through a course of physical therapy for his Parkinson's Disease. In his usual gracious way, Thompson finds something funny in all this:
I've only been in for an evaluation, but the therapy largely consists of big, exaggerated movements and sweeping silly walks that will so embarrass your body that it'll start behaving itself, I hope. Also I'll learn ten ways to defeat a mugger by falling on him.
The gap may not be noticeable to those who don't look to closely, as Thompson will rerun some older Cul de Sac strips during the hiatus.
The other one is just a one-off, and just in one paper, but it has caused a bit of discussion: The Cleveland Plain Dealer declined to run Friday's Non Sequitur, deciding that a blank space would be less offensive to the readership than the comic that Wiley had submitted. That appears to be a miscalculation, as most of the commenters at the Non Sequitur page of GoComics.com and at the original link are more offended by the editors' decision than by the comic. Also more offensive: A Mutts cartoon about all snowflakes looking alike, a Speed Bump cartoon (go to 1/13) featuring two witches cooking babies, and most of the actual news in the Plain Dealer.
They publish Kevin O'Brien, but that Non Sequitur is too "offensive." Mmm, sure, okay.
Years ago a strip that followed exploits of a single mom and her two kids (I can't recall the name of it), published one of the best in regards to race. The POV was from a bunch of penguins at a zoo, looking up at the mom and her kids. One of the penguins remarked: "I don't know how they can tell their young apart."

Nitric oxide levels in preterm and term infants and in premature infants with bacteremia. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15237238 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: To determine the serum nitric oxide levels in healthy neonates and in infants with bacteremia. METHODS: We performed a prospective study in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit. The serum nitric oxide levels were measured in all infants at birth (basal) and in the infected neonates also on the first 2 days of bacteremia. RESULTS: Thirty-three neonates (10 term, 23 preterm) were included. Eleven preterm infants (mean gestational age 27 weeks) had bacteremia. The main blood culture isolates included coagulase-negative staphylococci (n=4), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=3), and Escherichia coli (n=3). The serum nitric oxide levels increased during infection in 10 infants (p <0.008). The mean nitric oxide level before infection was 44 microM and during infection 96 microM (p=0.008). In the healthy babies, the mean nitric oxide level was 26 microM in those with a gestational age <27 weeks, 44 microM in those born between 28 and 36 weeks of gestation, and 63 microM in term infants. CONCLUSIONS: Bacteremic preterm infants produce significantly higher amounts of nitric oxide. The basal nitric oxide levels at birth may be correlated with gestational age. |

It remains for me to describe the island which lies alongside this peninsula on the south, I mean Cyprus. I have already said that the sea surrounded by Egypt, Phoenicia, Syria, and the rest of the coast as far as Rhodia1 consists approximately of the Aegyptian and Pamphylian Seas and of the sea at the gulf of Issus. In this last sea lies Cypros; its northern parts closely approach Cilicia Tracheia, where they are closest to the mainland, and its eastern parts border on the Issic Gulf, and its western on the Pamphylian Sea, being washed by that sea, and its southern by the Aegyptian Sea. Now the Aegyptian Sea is confluent on the west with the Libyan and Carpathian Seas, but in its southern and eastern parts borders on Aegypt and the coast next thereafter as far as Seleuceia and lssus, and towards the north on Cypros and the Pamphylian Sea; but the Pamphylian Sea is surrounded on the north by the extremities of Cilicia Tracheia, of Pamphylia, and of Lycia, as far as Rhodia, and on the west by the island of the Rhodians, and on the east by the part of Cypros near Paphos and the Acamas, and on the south is confluent with the Aegyptian Sea.

Which is more benificial for doing dead lifts, an olympic bar or a hex bar? Just wondering.
Which is more benificial for doing dead lifts, an olympic bar or a hex bar? Just wondering.
It doesn't really matter. The two lifts are very similar.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial
I has a blog.
I has a facebook.
The olympic bar will stress your hamstrings and back a bit more since the weight is forced in front of your body. Hex bars are considered more of a squat/deadlift hybrid. If I had one I would be using it religiously, seems to be a more effective hip flexor/leg lift than regular deads.
Personally I prefer a straight bar.
Pitiful Bench-Jockey for life
Not sure I even understand the question...Originally Posted by whiteman90909
For most people, there is not a lot of transfer from the hex bar to straight bar and vice-versa. At a recent push-pull meet I went to, I was surprised to see an 800lb deadlifter struggle to get 600 off the floor.
As far as athletic application, I would say that if you are squatting, then you would probably benefit more from doing straight bar deadlifts than hex bar.
A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

hex bar was always a favorite for me because you usually use less of your back muscles. I also think its safer if you lose your grip on really heavy weight. Other then that they are identical. I just started doing deads again last week and i have to use straight bar. Eh, beggers can't be choosers.

deffinatly straight bar, one of my friends said he has done 425 on the hex bar in the school gym, so we tried straight bar and 315 went up very slow.
2000 or bust
Don't forget about CNS efficiency. If you randomly try a different exercise, you're not going to be magically strong with it. After two workouts it's not uncommon to pile on a LOT of weight.
:withstupiOriginally Posted by Deadlifter
Hex bar deadlifts are a great exercise, don't diss them! They are a great way to make deadlifts part of your leg routine without annihilating your back.
I would think the mechanics of the trap bar vs. the straight bar would indeed make the trap bar deadlift more of a squat from the floor. I do the standard straight bar deadlift on Tuesdays and squat on Fridays, and I've never been happier with my strength and build.
should these be done on leg day or back day? is it alright if i do them on back day? i do notice that my back gets a workout from them.

"Fk you and the Prowler you rode in on"
Really depends on your goals. If you want to be a powerlifter, I'd say don't even touch a hex bar, it will screw you up too much.
If you're a football player or other strength athlete, hex bar deadlifts would be great since you can genrally lift more weight with them than with a straight bar.
If you're just bbing, then it doesn't matter much. Just do them heavy.

Miha Trtnik (2009) Social network sites application development for viral marketing needs on Facebook Platform example. EngD thesis.
PDF Download (2169Kb) |
Facebook is currently the largest social network site out there, but certainly not the only one. At this time Facebook has over three hundred and fifty million active users. The mass of people offers advertisers new approaches and methods of delivering their messages to users. In my bachelor's thesis I begin by defining how users of social network sites are connected, how these networks evolved and what a social network site really is. I examine the feasibility of viral marketing through the eyes of potential advertiser. In the second section I briefly introduced technologies used to connect applications with the Facebook platform. I researched possible integration points through which application can be linked to end-users. I developed an application prototype that allows raffles to be played. Application enables you to add a raffle with one question and multiple-choice answers, of which one is correct. Facebook users can participate in the raffle if they correctly answer to the provided question. I have included elements that allow easier and faster viral spread. Such elements, for example, automatically send messages and recommendations to friends, send e-mails etc. In conclusion I explain the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook Platform that I have learned during my work.

This is a very comfortable suit that fits me well at this point in my pregnancy. I usually wear a 34/36 and I got a size 40 in this one for my half way point (20 weeks). It feels like it will stretch a bit more to accommodate me a little farther into the pregnancy as well. It is comfortable, not to grandma-like, and supportive. There isn't much padding or cupping in the chest area, so if you need more support, you might not want to get this. I'm not very large in that area, so it works for me. I bought another suit from this brand last year and I was still using it until I got too large. I wouldn't say it would last more than 1 year though and I work at a lake most of the time I was in the water with it so chlorine wasn't eating away at it. If you were working 5 days a week at a pool I'd say this would last a season. Cheap enough!

Jewish World Review / August, 1998 / Menachem-Av, 5758
We find it somewhat blasphemous when most remembrance gatherings are focused on the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, or that this uprising is foisted as the central symbol of Jewish martyrdom and heroism during the Holocaust years. While we too certainly honor those who gave their lives in defense of the Jews of the Ghetto, we cannot accept the implied defamation of the honor and dignity of millions of others whose militancy did not express itself in the handling of a rifle. My late father, Reb Eliezer Gershon Friedenson, who gave away his last morsel of bread to the weeping children of the ghetto, was no less a hero for not having ever shot a gun. Nor was Rebbetzin Cyly S., who greeted me on my second day at Birkenau:
As I took my place in the food line and watched the orderly ladle out a portion of soup, I hungrily picked up the bowl -- I was literally starving -- yet, instinctively I held it at a distance. Never had non-kosher food touched my lips; and hungry as I was, I could not bring myself to taste the soup. Cyly slipped behind me and whispered, "Eat it! Eat it! It's a mitzvah to survive --- a mitzvah!" With those words of encouragement, I forced myself to eat, for she was right.
It was not until after the liberation that I learned that she herself never ate non-kosher food during her entire internment in the camps. Was she less a hero than Mordechai Anczielewicz?
And what of the thousands of young men and women who did not part with their elderly fathers or mothers, although they could have saved themselves, and accompanied them right into the gas-chambers? And those who sacrificed themselves in order that others should live? They were all heroes. Yes, we find this new segregation of heroism at the commemoration reprehensible to our whole hashkafah, philosophy, on the Holocaust.
When others urge us to remember, I must ask: for what purpose? If their purpose is to remind the world of what had happened, then, to be sure, I can go along with them and participate in any Holocaust gathering. But if remembering should also have an inner Jewish purpose, then I must exempt myself from participating, for I find it impossible to go along with a Holocaust remembrance program that leaves out this most vital call for Jewish eternity.
I am told that one of the purposes of the Holocaust memorials is to strengthen the link of the Jewish masses to Israel. The love for the Land may have a basis for enriching every aspect of Jewishness, but it can never replace Judaism, as the authors of Zionism would have us believe. Those whose Jewish identity consists only of Zionism also have my sympathy, but not my apologies. I have no intention of selling short my full-bodied Jewish identity for something so limited, limited and therefore false.
The meeting was attended by: Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner, Rabbi Nachum Perlow (the late Novominsker Rebbe) and Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetzky and Rabbi Yisroel Spira (the Bluzhever Rebbe).
Among other things, the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah placed a chiyuv, an obligation, on all mechanchim to teach their children about the events of the horrible years of World War II, with special emphasis on the stories of kiddush Hashem the sanctification of G-d's name and mesiras nefesh, the self-sacrafice to observe Judaism during that period. Educators were also instructed to inform their students about the seventh Siyum HaShas of Daf Yomi (then about to be convened), which was set aside I'illuy nishmasam of the kedoshim (in honor of the memory of those martyred).
This decision was proclaimed, but we never fully responded to the responsibility it places upon us. This obligation, still unfulfilled, weighs heavily on our
Heroics and 'Remembrance' --- a new Jewish 'religion?'
Holocaust survivor Joseph Friedenson on why he refuses to participate in Holocaust ceremonies.
ONE SHOULD NOT wonder why Orthodox Jews do not actively participate en masse in the commemoration activities of the Holocaust. Although we all agree that the Holocaust should not be forgotten, we are not in full agreement with "what" and "how" to remember, and what lessons to draw from the Holocaust.
Completing the Task of the Nazis
Some of us among the Orthodox She'eiris Hapleitah, the remnant of Eastern Europe, find it difficult to commemorate the Holocaust with those for whom "Remembering" has become the new Jewish religion; those who created a "Holocaust Judaism" to substitute for all other tenets of Judaism. Someone who declares that he remembers the Holocaust, but does not bring up his children as Jews, or does not give his children a Jewish education, does not really remember the Holocaust. Worse, he finishes that which its designers had set out to accomplish --- he carries on the work of the archenemies of our people; he is guilty of complicity with the Nazis who had plotted our disappearance, for a Jew who does not live Jewishly and who makes no effort to perpetuate Judaism is completing Hitler's work in a spiritual sphere. Crying and shouting "Remember!" --- remembering just for the sake of remembering --- does not impress me.
Looking Back ... and Ahead
Looking back at the terrible suffering and destruction, we are saddened beyond words, yet we can draw inspiration from the spiritual heroism of so many. Even while mourning, our sights are invariably set on the future. A Jewish agenda is rich, multifaceted, and does not permit one to be immersed in despair for too long. Even Tishah B'Av is followed by Shabbos Nachamu, which is the symbol of the indestructability of our people, guaranteed by Divine promise. Our sense of Jewishness does not feed exclusively on the commonality of the shared suffering of the Holocaust. Unfortunately, there are such Jews who do not participate in "the Yom Tov cycle," and do not know the joy of mitzvah performance, the stimulation of Torah study, inner struggles for improvement, a drashah, a tisch --- these do not exist for them. If all the Jewishness they have is the Holocaust, far be it from me to deny them their sole means of Jewish identity. But to me this black chapter is but part of something much larger, part of something all-encompassing.
Our Obligation Remains
But the fact that we cannot always fully participate in the Holocaust memorials organized by secular Jews does not relieve me or my fellow survivors of our obligation to pass on our legacy to future generations --- to let them share in the riches of our childhood and witness the destruction of our youth. In 1975, I and several colleagues presented a problem before the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (Council of Torah Sages) of Agudath Israel of America, as to how the Holocaust should be commemorated.
Rabbi Joseph Friedenson, editor of the Yiddish monthly, Dos Yiddishe Vort, was the general secretary of the Agudath Israel organization which was established in post war Germany by liberated Jewish refugees.

Brothers Crash Parents' Truck Into Wis. Police Station
A 17-year-old boy crashed his parents' pickup truck into a Milwaukee Police station early Sunday morning.
Police said the teen and his 17-year-old brother lost control of the vehicle around 2:45 a.m. and crashed through two poles and one sign before hitting the east side of the building.
The building, located near North and Lisbon avenues, is the home of District 3 of the Milwaukee Police Department.
Police said they suspect the teens had been smoking marijuana before the crash.
The passenger was taken to a local hospital to be treated for very minor injuries. The driver was arrested.
Police continue to investigate the crash.

Satin or Flat for Exterior Paint Sheen?? Which is most durable/protective?
I am curious to what most people use on the exterior of homes, flat or satin??? I know flat is not the easiest to keep clean on the inside so it caused me to wonder how it performs on the exterior. Flat would be my first choice based on it's performance. I will be using Sherwin Williams Duration paint.
Is there any difference between durability (how long the paint holds it's color) b/t the flat and satin? Also, is there a major difference in how either sheen's are affected by weather? Does the satin sheen resist moisture any better due to the rain rolling off it faster? Finally is there much difference between the two when cleaning the separate different finishes? |
PermaLast latex paint by Sherwin Williams, Valspar's exterior is good too. you can read online reviews before you decide to buy any paint. its a great help.
Dana |
Satin/Eggshell will protect better against moisture and is easier to clean but makes any imperfections in the wood stand out more than a flat paint.
On exteriors out here (the Land of Rust and Mildew....and/or regular cleaning with a mildecide at least), we would only even consider a flat-type exterior stain or a super wash-able mold/mildew resistant flat like Aura Exterior as far as flats go They are basically mold farms Most Paint Stores out here don't even carry a traditional flat exterior paint for those reasons |
I've used Kelley-Moore Lo-Sheen (the first entry in the sheen ladder) on trim, fence posts, deck handrails. Especially on rough cut lumber, it looks terrific.
But... In dark colors, and particularly horizontal surfaces (like a flat deck handrail), it does *not last long. Measured in months. Vertical surfaces and rough-cut trim last longer. It's all about sun exposure, evidently. |
I meant the sheen-level not lasting very long. Not the paint or the color retention.
By what I understand, Duration Exterior has good gloss retention. But for all paints that depends on the color and UV exposure. (Color and sheen are visually linked.) Deep reds and bright yellows are the first to go, and all others will be affected to some point through time.
Duration Exterior contains mildew killers, just like all Sherwin Williams exterior paints (even the cheap A-100). Duration is also supposed to be the easiest to clean, for interiors at least. I can tell you that Duration Exterior is a pain in the :censored: to brush or roll. The stuff is so thick (liquid plastic) that if your paint surface is slightly warm the paint will start beading up on the brush. If you can't do it in shade or spray it, buy SW Super Paint (25 yr. warranty, thinner formula, just as good as Duration Ext. unless you plan on living in that residence for 50 years). Also, both SW Duration Ext. and Super Paint are safe for painting vinyl siding (dark colors won't warp the vinyl). |

Semi-Abstract Agricultural landscapes
Although born in a city, I find myself drawn to the agricultural landscape for inspiration. Maybe it in my genes, as both my parents were from farming families before they moved to the UK in the 50s, or because I worked with horses and on local farms when leaving school. For whatever reasons it scares me that our farms are under threat by current policy and market trends, and that if we are not careful our green and pleasant land will soon turn into a vast featureless crop factory. Just miles and miles of one crop with no hedgerow. I find myself trying to convey this through my abstract landscapes, and although some of these may appear featureless, the use of texture and colour still manages to convey a that even these are fragile and delicate.

Kachisa, Ezekiel Justin (2011) Constructing suitable ordinary pairing-friendly curves: A case of elliptic curves and genus two hyperelliptic curves. PhD thesis, Dublin City University.
Full text available as:
One of the challenges in the designing of pairing-based cryptographic protocols is to construct suitable pairing-friendly curves: Curves which would provide ecient implementation without compromising the security of the protocols. These curves have small embedding degree and large prime order subgroup. Random curves are likely to have large embedding degree and hence are not practical for implementation of pairing-based protocols. In this thesis we review some mathematical background on elliptic and hyperelliptic curves in relation to the construction of pairing-friendly hyper-elliptic curves. We also present the notion of pairing-friendly curves. Furthermore, we construct new pairing-friendly elliptic curves and Jacobians of genus two hyperelliptic curves which would facilitate an efficient implementation in pairing-based protocols. We aim for curves that have smaller values than ever before reported for dierent embedding degrees. We also discuss optimisation of computing pairing in Tate pairing and its variants. Here we show how to eciently multiply a point in a subgroup dened on a twist curve by a large cofactor. Our approach uses the theory of addition chains. We also show a new method for implementation of the computation of the hard part of the nal exponentiation in the calculation of the Tate pairing and its variant

Hi all,
Yesterday, I had an interview for a position at a major online selling company. While discussing my work and my vision of usability and design, few questions came and I thought it could be a good point to share some of them and to have your inputs about these thoughts.
1. How are you making the difference between a web app and a website?
2. Do you consider Google as a web app or a website?
Feel free to answer or to give your thoughts about theses questions as I am looking to have different points of view.

Pension piecesJuly 13, 2013Public Pension reform has been a repeated topic on the Sun-Gazette editorial page.... eriklatranyiSince the gov't spent the money elsewhere, the replacement of that funding should come from cuts, not from increased taxes. 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » mikekerstetterI can't find the document I'm looking for, but a report on SERS stated that during the last decade the funding sources were 69% from investments, 21% from Employee Contributions and 10% from Employer (the Government) contributions. So it's not as if the employees are getting this for free. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » mikekerstettertgrammie, true. Many people don't. But even if you do away with pensions for new employees, that doesn't change the fact that the current employees have to be paid what was promised to them as part of their compensation package. The Public Pensions are a matter of law, put in place and governed by legislation. The PA Constitution says that the Governments must pay it's debts. There is no getting around it. Whether pensions should be a part of a public employee's compensation package is a matter of debate. Paying those whom were told it WAS a part of their compensation package isn't. 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Tgrammiex4I think one thing that is forgoten is that many of the folks working in the private sector don't get any kind of retirement plan but we keep paying higher taxes to furnish public employee ret. plans.Many private employers no longer have plans or don't contribute anything if they do have them. I know one employer that doesn't contribute and waits months to even send in the employee contributions. 3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » mikekerstetterIn other words, Francine, they aren't fixing the problem. At one point in time about a decade ago the pension funds were operating at about $125 of liability. They had more money than they needed. The Government purposely quit paying into the pension funds and allowed them to drop. Then came the stock market crash that exasperated the problem, they took a gamble that the stock market and employee contributions would sustain the funds. Had they left it alone and paid in their share all along we wouldn't be here today. So now, in essence, they have to pay back the money they didn't put in when they should have. The only way they are going to fix the problem is by putting the money into the funds that they should have put their in the first place. Changing the pensions for new hires does nothing to address the shortage problem for current employees though. 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » mikekerstetterApparently you missed the point of my letter. The point was, and is, that current 'solutions' offered do nothing to address the underfunding (the paying back) of the public pension plans. Further, it's my contention that changing to a 401k will make the problem worse, not better, when it comes time to pay for all of the current employees in the current system. And, as I pointed out, if allowed to work as intended, ACT 120 or 2010 addressed the problem and put in place real solutions to the problem, namely having new hires pay a higher rate into the funds and having the Government and School Districts pay back their share in an amortized schedule over, I believe, a 20 year period. The money has to be put into the funds to make it solvent, there is no getting around it. It's a law and it can't be changed. So they need a solution that will do that, not just one that makes people feel good. 3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 7 of 7 comments

We told you this morning that pretty much every assistant coach you can name and a few whose names you can't pronounce — hello Mike Budenholzer — was getting interviewed for the Rockets job.
Now we can add two names you do know to the list: Kevin McHale (the former Timberwolves head coach and GM) and Sam Cassell. That according to Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo.
Not sure what to make of this other than Morey is leaving no stone unturned in his search for a new head coach. And next time you don't recognize the number, pick up.

The Same Cassell? Not him again!

Same as which Cassell? Vincent Cassell? Why would the Rockets hire the demanding ballet instructor from Black Swan as their head coach?

Is Same pronounced like "Sammy"?
