I have stayed at Pornanino several times, in both remodeled barns. The larger sleeps four in two separate very nice bedrooms. There's plenty of bathrooms and a large kitchen which opens into the large gathering room. The smaller rental is perfect for two and includes everything you need. Both places are just so perfectly Tuscan with gorgeous valley views. The owners/host are wonderful, friendly, smart, honest, helpful people who just happen to own the olive farm which surrounds the rentals. They live in the house on the grounds and their daughter & son & families live close by. When you stay at Pornanino, you have access to laundry and a swimming pool. But the part I like the best is the location. This beautiful spot is between Radda and Castellina. It is a great place to stay because it is so centrally located. Siena is only half an hour away. After a day of exploring Chianti, it's so nice to come "home", cook some dinner, and then sit outside with a glass of wine. I just cannot say enough nice things about Pornanino. Plus, you can attend the seminar about olive oil. I never knew there was so much that I never knew about this liquid gold! And, in my opinion, they do make the best extra virgin olive oil in Tuscany. I will be returning this June because I just can't stay away.

They have carefully restored the main house and two stone built barns, Capannino and Leccino cottages, renovated to excellent standards and appointed with the same warm style as their own home, with antique furniture enhancing beamed ceilings and cotto floors.Pornanino is accessed by 5km of very well kept unpaved road.

Guests enjoy the large central room with open fully equipped kitchen at an upper level, dining room and living room with open fireplace.

Why Photos are not transferredAsked by MiniFotoBuch on December 11, 2013 at 04:33 AM
I have a form in which customers can upload photos.
For a few weeks now, I see that always the second photo is not completely transferred. This is annoying because I need to contact the customer back via email.
Could you help?
We are really sorry to hear that. I cloned your form and tried to send a few sample pictures and checked my submissions, all of the pictures arrived completely so I then tried making a sample submission using your form with the same images that I sent on my cloned form but I wasn't able to reproduce the problem on my end. Have you tried making a sample submission using a different browser? Before testing that try to clear your browsers cache or you can try chromes incognito mode and see if you can reproduce the problem on your end. I have also cleared your form cache. Screenshot of the test results that I made.
Screenshot taken from my submission:
And screenshot taken from your own form submission:
It worked three times, now, the error appears again.
Hi Robert,
We are really sorry for this inconvenience I can see that the submitted images is not correctly displaying and i'm not sure what's causing this problem probably images where not completely transfered. I will forward this to our dev team for further investigation.
While waiting can you please try using the multiple upload and see if importing the images reaches 100% then still getting this same result?
Here's how you can enable the multi upload settings:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/2/2013 (1652 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Trumpeter John MacLeod is bringing a taste of Toronto's popular Rex jazz club to Winnipeg, along with some swinging, bluesy big band charts.
The trumpeter, composer, arranger, band leader and teacher will perform with and conduct the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra in two concerts on Sunday, Feb. 17.
And besides top-notch band members to play his arrangements, he'll find a stage big enough to hold them.
Asked about the logistics of fitting a 20-piece band on a small stage in a bar, he says: "The trick for me is to stay out of the way. The Rex staff sets up chairs and microphones for the rhythm section, trumpets and trombones on the stage. The saxophones, french horns, guitar and the leader are out on the floor. It works out surprisingly well, except that I sometimes have to move out of the way to allow waiters or patrons to walk past me."
At the Winnipeg Art Gallery he'll have the luxury of a stage big enough to hold the musicians, risers and room enough for him to conduct the band.
The trumpeter formed John MacLeod and the Rex Hotel Orchestra eight years ago and approached several Toronto jazz clubs with the idea of featuring an all-star big band once a month.
The Rex owner Bob Ross, and the manager, liked the idea from the start, MacLeod says in an email exchange.
"I don't think (Tom, the manager) realized at first how great the band was going to be or that we would quickly develop the kind of following that we have, but he was always totally supportive," MacLeod says.
"To attract and hold onto the quality of player I wanted, I knew that I needed a situation that would be fun and rewarding for the players with a minimum of time commitment and some kind of financial return. I wasn't interested in starting a rehearsal band which only performed occasionally.
"The Rex itself is a pretty casual place. It's the people that make it special."
Big bands are not easy to maintain; they're unwieldy and expensive and only keep going because the musicians want to play complex musical arrangements.
MacLeod has been writing big band music "seriously for about 20 years -- long enough to have started before any of my university students were born -- yet I feel like I've just begun. I've never been very ambitious as far as worldly success -- you know, fame and fortune. Having the band perform once a month gives me a reason to keep on writing and trying to progress. When other gigs do come along, as several have this year, it's more than I expected. Is it harder for me than it was for Rob McConnell 20 years ago? Perhaps, but it was never easy. Jazz is an art form, not business."
MacLeod is an alumnus of McConnell's Boss Brass, the big band that featured the cream of Canada's jazz musicians over its decades of existence.
MacLeod is bringing 14 pieces of music; some of his own compositions and arrangements of jazz standards.
Singer Helen White will join the band for a few tunes and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra french horn player Ken MacDonald will join the ensemble.
The WJO will have two rehearsals with MacLeod before the concerts, "which is two rehearsals more than my band ever gets," the trumpeter says.
"The charts that I write are meant to be fun to play for professional-level musicians. I know all of the guys in this band can play, so we won't require a ton of rehearsing. I'm just really looking forward to having a good time with these guys..." he adds.
MacLeod will conduct and perform with the WJO.
"One of the challenges I have had to meet as a leader is being able to deliver the goods when I am required to play a solo. Fortunately, good band leading is often about staying out of the way, so I try to do as much ensemble playing as I can to keep my chops warmed up.
"I usually give myself a few solos over the course of the night, but there are so many other players to feature that I don't like to hog too much of the limelight," MacLeod says.
The last piece planned for the program will sound familiar to fans of a certain age. I won't spoil it, but it will bring back some fond (and funny) memories.
The WJO presents A Night at the Rex on Sunday, Feb 17, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., Winnipeg Art Gallery, tickets $32.50 / $15 students (includes GST) from McNally Robinson Booksellers, the WJO box office at 204-632-5299 and online at www.winnipegjazzorchestra.com.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Toyota vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your automobile. Make no mistake, you bought your Celica because you knew that you wanted long-lasting quality and dependability both rolled up into one car, truck, or SUV. Anyone who operates a Toyota knows that when it comes to repairing their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. Toyota vehicle owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their Celica around town.
Without the timed ignition systems in our internal combustion engines, there would be no way to generate enough power for efficient operation. The fact that your Toyota Celica has mechanically or electronically timed ignition means that it needs spark plug wires. The voltage necessary to detonate the air/fuel mixture effectively is transferred from your distributor or ECU in a specific order to the spark plug via your Toyota Celica spark plug wires. Sometimes called high tension leads, these usually have a carbon fiber core wrapped in a fiberglass barrier, and covered with EPDM rubber for insulation from the heat in your engine.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the correct Toyota Celica part for your needs. Don't let a Spark Plug Wires repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Toyota Celica Spark Plug Wires parts for 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

The good news on the manufacturing front for the coming year is that most of the bad news has already arrived. On the downside, economists say they don't expect much growth in the sector in 2001.
"From Maryland's perspective, their bad news is over," said Margaret Murphy, vice president of the Baltimore branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Va. "They were an early loser for the old industrial base."
The number of manufacturing jobs in the state declined 14.5 percent, from 207,000 in 1989 to nearly 177,000 a decade later in 1999 as companies closed plants, put in new technologies to raise productivity and reduced their work forces.
Jobs ticked upward slightly to 179,000 in the first quarter of 2000, the latest figures available.
Patrick Arnold, director of labor market analysis and information in the state's Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, said that the slow growth could continue, adding another 1.5 percent to 2 percent this year.
"If there is a nationwide slowdown, we're expecting Maryland to fare pretty well in that," he said.
"We're not like some states that have had very precipitous increases, particularly in high tech. Our growth is much more manageable in my view."
A nationwide downturn in manufacturing had gathered enough momentum by year-end to help convince the Federal Reserve to reverse course. After a series of six interest-rate boosts, the Fed cut interest rates a half-point early this month.
The National Association of Purchasing Management's factory index dropped to 43.7 in December from 47.7 in November - the fifth consecutive monthly decline.
The Fed acted the day after the index was released, saying the cut was made "in light of further weakening of sales and production."
Art Stowe, president of the Printing and Imaging Industries of Maryland, said "the industry is running a little scared like everybody else."
"The big concerns are about dot-coms going out of business, and they have done an awful lot of print advertising over the past several years," he said.
Despite those worries, Stowe said industry analysts expect the printing industry to see increased sales of about 4 percent in 2001.
"We hope that that's valid," he said. "Personally, I'm fairly optimistic that we're going to do the 4 percent. I'm just not comfortable that the economy is exceedingly strong and am concerned about the dot-coms."
Mark Vitner, an economist who follows the area for First Union Corp., a banking company based in Charlotte, N.C., doesn't expect major job losses in the manufacturing sector this year, but gains are also unlikely.
'Significant' cutbacks'
"I think the first half of 2001 is going to be very difficult for the manufacturing sector," he said. "I think you're likely to see fairly significant production cutbacks across the country, but it's hard to pinpoint where those are going to be. ... We're seeing that inventories have risen in recent months, orders are falling off and manufacturers will have to cut back production."
One company to watch is Millennium Inorganic Chemicals of Hunt Valley, which employs about 450 at its plant in South Baltimore.
The maker of titanium dioxide plans a multimillion-dollar expansion but warned that if state and local officials don't come up with incentives for the money to be invested in Baltimore, the future of the plant could be in jeopardy.
Bethlehem Steel Corp. recently spent more than $600 million on upgrades to its Sparrows Point facility. About half the money was for a new cold-rolling mill that is expected to save the company more than $100 million a year in operating costs. Without the improvements, the future of the plant, which employs about 4,000, would have been uncertain.
Hurt by strong dollar
Pradeep Ganguly, chief economist for the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development, said the overall slowdown in manufacturing employment is caused in part by a strong dollar, which makes U.S. products more expensive overseas, and technology advances.
"What used to take two people to do," he said, "is now done by one person and a computer program."
But Peter Bowe, president of Ellicott Machine Corp. International, is still hiring and is having trouble finding workers.
In fact, a weaker dollar and higher unemployment that could accompany a slowdown would actually help his dredge-building company, whose business is primarily driven by exports.
"If there's a slowdown, our view would be that it would most likely be a benefit to us. There would be more labor available," said Bowe, who employs about 100 and could use another five people.
Paul Engle, a manufacturing consultant at Grant Thornton LLP in Baltimore, said labor shortages are a common complaint from manufacturers.
"Their big problem is attracting and retaining people, particularly engineers and technicians, and I expect that will not change in the foreseeable future," he said. "But I also think that manufacturers are being more conservative abut recruiting new workers; they're taking a wait-and-see attitude."
He said the "jury's still out" on the outlook for 2001 for the traditional manufacturing sector but that those in the high tech markets, such as fiber-optic makers, should see a good year.

Advances in technology may just change the way you think about hearing aids
Posted November 21, 2016
After a little nudging from his wife, 59-year-old Mike Stocking found himself at the audiologist office.
"I would always say don't talk to me in this ear, I can't hear you as well as this one here. She kept telling me you need to get your ears checked," Stocking said.
Stocking originally was not interested in hearing aids, but his mindset quickly changed six months ago when he opted for the new high-tech wireless hearing aids with Bluetooth capability.
His audiologist, Dr. Michael Walker, explained how they work and the benefits, "You can route phone calls directly from your cellphone through your hearing aids. The neat thing is you're hearing it in both ears and it's converted to your hearing loss."
Stocking said he just uses an app. "You get the app and (snap) you're just that fast and I'm not very smart with smartphones, but it was quick to put it on there," said Stocking.
Dr. Walker makes all the settings specific to Mike's hearing loss. Stocking can then make quick and easy adjustments for different environments, like restaurants and other noisy situations.
Stocking drives tractor trailers nearly 500 miles every day, hearing the hum of the highway. His new aids are music to his ears. He can now hear people talking 100 feet away, and then there are the little things that Stocking didn't know he was missing. "I can hear myself walking on carpet barefoot," said Stocking.
Dr. Walker says the stigma attached to hearing aids is long gone and increasing communication with the hard of hearing helps everyone. "If you're cut off from society, like a hearing loss would do that, you are unable to communicate with your family, your friends and a lot of times people will be isolated," said Walker.
The hearing aids help get rid of the isolation factor Walker said and increase the quality of life.
These new hearing aids are smaller size. They are also more comfortable and Stocking proudly shows them off, he said, "The benefit far outweighs not having the negative to me."
These new high-tech hearing aids do not come cheap. You can expect to pay about $4,000 to $7,000 a pair. Some insurance does cover it, and some audiologists allow patients to try them first before purchasing.

Customer Reviews
Frequently Asked Questions
What size storage unit do I need?
Hover over the different sizes under the 'Available Units' section for this facility to see what fits in each space. When choosing a size, remember to think about how you intend to use the unit. Are you trying to cram it as full as possible, or do you need some extra room inside? We always recommend leaving a pathway for easy access to items at the back of the unit.
How tall are storage units?
Storage units typically have a ceiling height of about eight feet. Special units like "storage lockers" are around five feet or less. Units for vehicle storage will have higher ceilings to accommodate RVs and boats. Call us if you need more help on choosing the best unit size for your car, boat, motorcycle or RV!
Do I need climate-controlled storage?
Climate control is crucial if you live in an extreme climate or a location prone to swings in temperature. Opt for climate control if you're storing items like leather furniture, antique woods, important documents, photos or electronics.
What are the minimum number of months I can rent?
Storage leases are typically month-to-month, so you are not obligated to a set rental length. However, many facilities offer promotions and discounts that require a minimum rental length in order to be redeemed (for example: First month free with two-month minimum). These terms will be detailed above.
Do I need a reservation or can I just walk in and rent a space?
Most facilities welcome walk-ins and don't require a reservation. However, because prices fluctuate often based on demand and availability, we recommend booking beforehand to secure the unit and price before it changes. By using SpareFoot you can compare units and prices near you and then book online or by phone for free.
What is climate control?
Climate control keeps your belongings safe from extreme temperatures and will protect your items from warping, melting and discoloring. Most facilities that offer climate control will maintain your unit between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
How wide are storage unit doors?
There are two types of storage unit doors:
- 1. Swing door: A standard room door.
- 2. Roll-up door: Rolls up just like the door on your garage.
What is 24-hour access?
This means you have the ability to access your storage unit whenever you need to—even when the office is closed.
Do storage units have electricity or electrical outlets?
Although electrical outlets are not common for most storage units, some facilities offer them as an amenity for select units. Storage units with electrical outlets will have "Electricity" listed under the "Features / Amenities" section of this page.

At the start of Wales Action Week, Paul Davies (Chief Executive, Trivallis) considers the role business can play in preventing homelessness in Wales.
Trivallis provides homes and services to thousands of families in Rhondda Cynon Taff. As we work in partnership with Rhondda Cynon Taf Council to provide homes for the most vulnerable people in society we see every day how much of a challenge it can be for people to maintain their home and their tenancy. Many people who need a home with us are already homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Homelessness can happen to any one
Homelessness can happen to any one of us and as a housing organisation, with a real insight and experience in working with some of the most vulnerable people in society, we understand the devastating effect that it can have on families – and also the key role organisations can play in preventing it.
Without doubt it is in all our interests to ensure that people get the homes they need, and the support they require to have every opportunity they can to gain a stable and comfortable life.
As a social landlord, responsible business is at the heart of what we do. By working with our partners and tenants we are working to ensure that our communities are sustainable and thriving; resulting in benefits for current and future generations. Working to prevent homelessness and shore-up the resilience of our tenants also delivers benefits for us as a housing association. It also leads to more opportunities for communities and businesses to build on strong foundations and develop skilled, resilient workforces.
" Homelessness has devastating effects on individuals, families and the community. Without a stable, safe and secure home people are denied many of the basic opportunities and comforts that many of us take for granted. Homelessness affects thousands of people every year and touches all parts of Wales. Over 6,000 families were assessed as homeless in Wales in 2016 and together we must work to ensure we can reduce this number year on year. "
Taking action to prevent homelessness
Prevention is key to tackling homeless and ensuring no families have to enter into this desperate cycle is something we keep at the forefront of our minds. The Welsh Government is leading the way with its innovation in addressing the issue and we want to support that in the work we do with communities.
We're committed to ending the housing crisis by ensuring that we are building the right homes in the right places. But for us tackling homelessness for us starts with working with people before they even become a tenant, to prepare them as far as possible for managing and sustaining a home. Our STEPS service provides pre-tenancy training to people who are homeless and waiting to be rehoused. The training equips them with the essentials to ensure they feel confident managing a home and tenancy, and don't become at risk of losing their home. Latest figures show those who received this training and went on to hold a tenancy with Trivallis were much more likely to still be in their home after 12 months than tenants who hadn't received this support.
These, and other, support services continue when people become tenants through on-going work from our STEPS service, targeted financial and debt advice from our Financial Inclusion Team, and our partnership working with Rhondda Cynon Taf Council through the SAFE service, providing support to older people to enable them to remain independent in the homes.
I am proud that Trivallis can be part of the efforts to tackle this issue though I know we can and will always look for ways to do more – with our tenants, partners and other responsible companies in Wales.
In today's climate, with welfare reform, fuel poverty and a lack of decent employment opportunities in many areas of the South Wales Valleys, we urge other businesses to play a role in tackling both the root cause and effects of homelessness.
We can all be part of the solution.
Wales Action Week is sponsored by Trivallis, Wales & West Utilities and 1st solutions employment & training services.

So I like this guy and I want to tell him I like him. I don't want to ask him out our anything I just don't want to keep it a secret any more. I want to say something like: "I know this is weird since we don't really talk much but I like you, and it's ok of you don't like me back I just wanted to tell you because I knew if I didn't id regret it"
Is that a good way to tell him? Also what do you think his response would be? He's outgoing around his friends, but he seems like he'd be shy around girls, and I want to know what kind of things he might say in response.
Most Helpful Guy
personally i'd just say...

BWW Interview: PHANTOM's Ali Ewoldt Discusses the Challenges of Christine, Asians on Broadway and Her Solo Debut at Feinstein's/54 Below
by MATTHEW BLANK - Mar 10, 2017
Over the years, as we all orbit in the same Broadway Asian community, I got to know Ali Ewoldt and see her perform various roles, including Carrie in CAROUSEL, Tuptim in THE KING AND I, and Luisa in THE FANTASTICKS. Always happy to be supporting part of the Tribe and seeing someone who looked like me starring in these iconic shows, it became evident that Ewoldt possesses one of the most pristine soprano voices out there today. I knew that it would only be a matter of time before her next big Broadway break, and that brings us to today. She stars as Christine in the long-running mega-hit THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, and will be making her solo debut at Feinstein's/54 Below with FROM PHANTOM TO PHANTOM on March 12.

by BWW News Desk - Apr 5, 2017
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley continues its 2016/2017 season with a musical saga of immigrant America, Rags. From the creators of Fiddler on the Roof and Wicked, this exhilarating musical follows the journey of Jewish immigrants Rebecca and her son David, who find themselves navigating the teeming, turn-of-the-century tenements of New York. A soaring, tuneful score (music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Stephen Schwartz) illuminates this sweeping saga (book by Joseph Stein) of dreams and disillusions, love lost and inspiration found, and the heart and soul of the American character. It was declared "A winner, warm and witty. You are tempted to rise cheering," by The Mercury News. Rags will be directed by TheatreWorks Founding Artistic Director Robert Kelley, who notes "this production could not be timelier. As America debates immigration policies, what better time to present this deeper look at the newcomer's experience."

BWW Review: BROADWAY BY THE YEAR Illuminates the Timeless Relationship Between Art and Culture, Paying Tribute to the 1940s
by Casey Mink - Apr 13, 2017
At the most recent BROADWAY BY THE YEAR presentation on March 27, at its usual home of the Town Hall, the 1940s was the sent-up decade from which the evening's performers sang. At a time in the country that currently bears striking and cryptic similarity to that grim period of global history, the resonance of the evening's selections rang eerily. Additionally, they also demonstrated how little the relationship between culture and society has changed over the last seven decades. (more...)
Jill Paice, Martin Vidnovic, Stephanie D'Abruzzo & More Join 54 SINGS IRVING BERLIN
by BWW News Desk - Apr 1, 2017
Come and enjoy the music composed by the man every Broadway composer considered a giant. His hits on Broadway, in Hollywood, on radio, on television, in concert halls, and Youtube, will continue to entertain future generations in America and throughout the world. Irving Berlin, who gave us White Christmas and Holiday Inn, had the pulse of America throughout his incredible career, capturing the passions and the dramas of this nation during our American Century. From "Alexander's Ragtime Band" to "Always," and from "Blue Skies" to "What'll I Do?" Berlin dominated popular music with one enduring hit after another. His Broadway shows are legendary, including Annie Get Your Gun, Face the Music, and his incomparable Music Box Revues, which were performed in the Broadway theater that still bears the Music Box name.

The OptionWorks Futures Options database provides implied volatilities on futures options for more than 40 major markets at CME, CBT, NYM, COMEX, ICE and Euronext.
The database is updated daily at 11:00pm ET with the same day's data, and includes at-the-money implied volatility, risk-reversals, butterflies, and a full volatility skew model for pricing options at arbitrary strikes.
In addition to data for every exchange expiration date, the database also contains calculations for interpolated constant maturity contracts, similar to continuous futures contracts. Available constant maturity tenors are 1W, 1M, 2M, 3M, 6M, 9M, and 1Y.
The combination of volatility skew data and constant maturity data makes it possible to calculate option prices for any strike and any expiry date. See the methodology tab for a full description of the data available in this database and how to use it.
OptionWorks® Research is produced by The Applied Research Company, a registered Commodity Trading Advisor and member of the US National Futures Association. It is the product of more than 20 years of research and development in option pricing and modeling. The ARC's consulting clients include exchanges, brokers, proprietary trading firms, and software vendors. Thousands of traders worldwide use ARC-designed products daily.

The format of the batch download csv is slightly different from Quandl's csv api.
OWF contains two different dataset types, with a different number of columns in each. The format of the batch download reflects this, different rows will have a different number of columns depending on dataset type. In both cases the first column is the Quandl Code, and this code will tell you what the following columns are.
IVM datasets (Quandl Codes like *_IVM) have the following columns:
Quandl Code,Date,Future,AtM,RR25,RR10,Fly25,Fly10,Beta1,Beta2,Beta3,Beta4,Beta5,Beta6,MinMoney,MaxMoney,DtE,DtT
IVS datasets (Quandl Codes like *_IVS) have the following columns:

Column descriptions can be found in the Nomenclature tab on the left.
The market price of a futures option can be calculated using 5 inputs:
Or in equation form:
Option price = f(futures price, strike, time, interest, volatility)
Given an option price, one can calculate the volatility that would need to be plugged into the above equation, so as to result in that option price. In other words, we can recast the above equation as:
Volatility = g(futures price, strike, time, interest, option price)
The volatility calculated using this inverted equation is called the "implied volatility"; it is the level of underlying volatility that is implied by the market option price.
Implied volatility is often interpreted as the option market's expectation of the volatility of the underlying futures market. It is similar to, but calculated differently than, the VIX® index for S&P 500 stock index options at the Chicago Board Options Exchange. When implied volatility increases, options become more expensive.
Some practitioners quote and trade options using implied volatility instead of actual prices. The OWF database is essentially a database of implied volatilities, which can be used to calculate option prices for virtually any strike or expiry date.
As described above, implied volatility is a measure of the option market's expectation for realized volatility over the life of the option. This would suggest that for a given underlying asset, all options expiring on the same date would have the same implied volatility. However, it turns out that that is not usually true. There's one other factor at play, and that's the strike price of the option.
Actual option prices vary in such a way that the implied volatility for options struck "away" from the money (strike price not equal to underlying price) is different from the implied volatility for options struck "at" the money (strike price equal to underlying price).
In other words, for a given option contract and expiration date, implied volatility varies by strike price.
This variance in implied volatility is referred to as the volatility "skew"; it is also sometimes called the "smile" or the "smirk". Out-of-the-money options (calls with strikes above the underlying price, and puts with strikes below the underlying price) tend to have implied volatilities higher than at-the-money options (those with strikes very near the underlying price).
Here is the volatility skew for options on Crude Oil futures:
The way to interpret this graph is:
Not only are out-of-the-money options more "expensive", the shape of the vol skew suggests that the market is more concerned about price declines than about price rises.
Armed with a skew curve like that depicted above, you can calculate implied vols for any strike, and hence option prices for any strike.
A volatility skew curve shows the implied volatilities of options at various strike prices. Skew curves are sometimes calculated by fitting a smooth curve through a number of market-observed quotes for at-the-money and out-of-the-money options.
The OWF database provides a smooth volatility skew curve using this 6-degree polynomial model:
IV = AtM + Beta1*x + Beta2*x^2 + Beta3*x^3 + Beta4*x^4 + Beta5*x^5 + Beta6*x^6
IV = implied volatility at a given strike price
AtM = at-the-money implied volatility
x = "moneyness" of the strike = ln (strike price / futures price)
Beta1 to Beta6 = model coefficients
The OWF database provides, for every contract and every expiry date, the at-the-money implied vol and the 6 model parameters Beta1 to Beta6.
These parameters are all we need to calculate implied volatilities for any given strike; we can those use those implied vols to calculate the actual option price for that strike.
This example spreadsheet shows how to calculate implied volatilities for various option strikes, using the x^6 polynomial skew model.
In addition to the fitted polynomial curve, the shape of the volatility skew can also be described using Risk Reversals and Butterflies. These are commonly traded option structures, composed of various out-of-the-money options. They provide an easy way to summarize a volatility skew curve.
Specifically, the shape of the volatility skew is reflected in these five measures:
(A 25-delta option is an option with a strike price chosen such that it has a delta of 0.25. An option that is very far out-of-the-money will have a delta close to 0; an option that is very far in-the-money will have a delta close to 1; an option that is at-the-money will have a delta of close to 0.5. Note that calls have positive deltas and puts have negative deltas.)
The OWF database provides these 5 measures in addition to the polynomical coefficients. Users can choose whichever method they prefer, to describe their skew curves.
The Quandl code for all OptionWorks Implied Volatility Model datasets is in this format:
IVM datasets have the following column headers:
The following futures options are included in this database:
OptionWorks will soon be releasing a separate set of Implied Volatility Surface data. These datasets have Quandl codes in the format:
IVS datasets, when available, will have the following column headers:
*The Delta Neutral Straddle Implied Volatility is the implied volatility of the put and call that have the same delta (in absolute value). The purchase of these two options simultaneously creates a straddle that is exactly delta-neutral. The strike price of this straddle (if it were available to trade) would be slightly less than the current futures price. For this reason, the DNS volatility is slightly different than the At-the-Money volatility (the AtM column in the IVM datasets). This difference increases as interest rates and/or DtE increases.

Utah Man Smashes Lamborghini He Won
December 22, 2011 by staff
Utah Man Smashes Lamborghini He Won, A Utah truck driver who won a Lamborghini in a competition crashed the $300 000 (R2.5 million) supercar six hours after he got it, and now plans to sell the 470kW convertible because he can't afford the insurance or taxes.
David Dopp said: "I already had offers on it. I'm going to sell it. "I have bills more important than a Lamborghini. I've got a family to support." Dopp, 34, spun out of control just a few hours after taking the keys to the Murcielago Roadster that he won in a contest sponsored by Maverik convenience stores.
The lime green convertible is now being held by his insurance company and will be sent to a Lamborghini dealer in Las Vegas for repairs next week.
Dopp said the damage "isn't super bad" – a hole in the sump, a punctured wheel and a few dents and scratches on the front and rear ends. The father of six said he couldn't afford to pay taxes on the car or the insurance, which runs to $7000 (R58 000) a year.
"That's why rich people own them," he said. "Poor people like me don't."
Dopp was taking family members and friends on joy rides the first evening. He said he took a bend at about 70km/h and "hit some black ice and spun out."
The car jumped a kerb and went through a fence before coming to a rest about 20m off the road. Neither Dopp nor his passenger was injured.
Annette Dopp said: "My heart pretty much fell out
"They said they were OK. Then, you know, that feeling when your heart drops and you're like, 'Oh, my gosh. What do we do now?'"
The Lamborghini was the envy of Santaquin, a town of 9000 about 90km south of Salt Lake City. Police say the Lamborghini's high-performance summer tires weren't suited for icy conditions and the car was simply too powerful – and exceptionally light with carbon fibre body parts. Dopp wasn't ticketed.
Dopp was videotaped jumping up and down and shouting in speechless disbelief when contest officials announced during a November 12 college football game that he'd won the car, but they insisted he take out insurance before he could claim it ("That was a good thing," he says) and he didn't get it until Saturday.
Dopp said he never imagined he could keep the car for long because it costs too much to own – and that that he would be more careful the next time he got behind the wheel – no matter what he was driving.

In 1938, Hitler charged some of his best scientists with creation of military technologies that would protect and make his war machine, the Wehrmacht, invincible. Those technologies came too late to ensure the Reich's victory, and for more than 60 years the reports and files of those experiments lay hidden away in a bunker, only to be discovered by German construction workers in the fall of 2007.

Income convergence of divergence? Study on selected Muslim countries
In this paper, the existence of income convergence or income divergence is investigated on ten selected OIC (the Organisation of Islamic Conference) economies. The results are then linked to the degree of openness of the countries using globalization indices. In order to investigate the existence of either income convergence or divergence between selected Islamic countries, income differentials between selected OIC countries and the benchmark country are computed and a series of test is done. The tests include stationary linearity test using Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test for linear time-series and non-linear stationary test using Kapetanois et al. (KSS) tests for non-linear time series. The findings are that most of the countries experience income divergence except for three countries. By analyzing the degree of globalization in these economies, it is found that the results support the endogeneous theory and depending approach which predict that globalization is likely to cause income divergence (inequality) rather than convergence (equality)

Toyota has unveiled the Concept-i at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The wacky Toyota concept car looks at the future of Toyota and has inbuilt Artificial Intelligence (AI) call Yui.
The wacky Toyota Concept-i is as crazy as a concept car can get with its pod-shaped design, scissor doors and headlights that sit underneath the paint and can wink at you.
However, the most important feature is Yui, the built-in AI which is designed to "learn from and grow with the driver."
Yui was designed using the Twelve Principles of Animation which are a series of guidelines developed by Disney animators in the 1930s to help make motionless objects appear alive.
Yui can be found almost everywhere in the Concept-i — It greets you at the door and warns fellow commuters on the road by using OLED panels on the front and rear bumper to relay messages.
Inside, the Concept-i, Yui moves around from surface to surface and emotes by pulsing, stretching, shrinking or overlapping its design elements - two rings with one situated inside the other.

Good Fortune
Do you ever see the same image, in different lights, over and over again, then one day you realize that you've been seeing the same thing over and over again? It just hits you?
For me it has been fortune cookies. Silly eh?
It started earlier in March when I saw the cutest project on Kind Over Matter on making little paper fortune cookies and leaving them for people to find. How fun would that be? I saved the project and will do it, actually, I think I'll do many of the projects suggested over there.
We've had a few Asian influenced take-out meals and Cole has been insistent on eating the fortune cookies. Only the fortune cookies. He is superstitious though: eat the cookies first, then read the fortune for it to come true. He really is the superstitious type!
Then a couple of weeks ago there was this brilliant felt pattern for fortune cookies on the Work In Progress blog. Party Favours - isn't that a fantastic idea? Another one saved for future use!
Now Karen Wolrond over at her Chookooloonks blog has a question, totally related to a fortune cookie: If you could write your own fortune -- one that would make you walk a little lighter -- what would it say?
So, I ask myself, and I ask you: would you make it a question? Would you make it a statement? Would it be optimistic? Would it be filled with adventure and promise?
My first fortune cookie siting corresponded with the start of some demanding days. A few days were filled with pure joy, so appreciated given the atmosphere in which those few moments appeared. In actual fact it has been a long few weeks. A few weeks full of change, conflict and challenge. A few weeks filled with decisions and new directions.
I am far better off for it. So is my family.
It is now time to write my own fortune cookie! And maybe pass along a few :)

peter8214 Review
(Alexxa his wife) I wore my ring the 3 weeks I was engaged then only here and there after I got married because the ring was a little too big on me--Hubby accidentally got the wrong size. I've been married 6 months now and have honestly worn it for only about 8 WEEKS. THE SIDE DIAMONDS ARE FALLING OUT! NOT A GOOD QUALITY RING. NEVER PURCHASING FROM HERE AGAIN!
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? The ring looks HUGE in the picture and is really small in real life.
- How accurate was the sizing? It was fine.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. The gold is pretty and the set is really a nice set but the diamonds are falling out and I RARELY wear it.
