| | Traditional Covered Call Writing vs LEAP "Covered" Call Writing | | 2008-08-21 11:33:00 | | Writing CallsSelling (writing) covered calls is one of the most conservative options strategies. I've talked about puts before, if you're interested. For those unfamiliar, a call is a contract on an underlying asset (like 100 shares of stock, a painting, car, house, etc) that gives the buyer of the contract a right, but not an obligation, to buy the asset at a certain price within a certain time. In exchange for this right the call buyer pays the call writer a premium.There are two types of call contracts, covered and naked. A call is covered when the call writer owns the underlying asset. A call is naked when the call writer does not own the underlying asset.Let's take a simple example. Suppose I have a painting, with a cost basis of $10,000. I decide that I'm willing to part with it for $12,000. I meet an interested buyer, Bob, but he's not sure he wants to pay that much. He wants some time to think about it. Fearing that another buyer may emerge or the price of the painting will app... | | By: Slacker Wealth | | |
| | Traditional Chinese Medicine | | 2008-08-17 06:53:00 | | Traditional Chinese Medicine stands strong on thousands of years of history, yet it only arrived in the U.S. in the last thirty years. In the early 1970's, following Nixon's visit to China, acupuncture became popular in the U.S. for a brief period, specifically for use in pain relief. But the response from skeptics was swift, with an effort to outlaw it.There were no empirical data, no double-blind studies, no scientific proof, they argued, and therefore acupuncture had to be simply the placebo effect at work. As of the turn of the millennium, however, there is a threshold level of research showing such a significant benefit of Traditional Chinese Medicine over placebo that it is even being integrated to some extent into allopathic practices.

The house can be observed as being divided into 3 parts, namely the front-veranda in the front, the middle part and the rear-veranda, which are successively functioning as follows:The front veranda for the guests and the sons, the centre is for the parents and room for the brides or for prominent guests, and the rear-veranda for the girls and the kitchen.The parents are the most respected persons, therefore the highest place for them.

For the Lampung community, tapis cloth reflects the status of the owner. Take Tapis Raja Medal, for example. This particular type of cloth may be worn only during traditional ceremonies by the upper class of the indigenous Lampung ethnic group, such as family members of traditional community elders or tribal chiefs. Even among the upper class, there are special rules that must be observed when wearing the cloth.Traditionally, Lampung textiles were used as part of religious ceremonies such as weddings and circumcisions.The type of the ceremony will determine which tapis cloth should be worn.

| | Traditional marketing versus Digital Marketing | | 2008-04-23 12:15:45 | | The increasingly irritating ads on the Neo Sports where they keep on increasing ads by interrupting the actual match forces me to suggest this video to the ad buyers which is a perfect example of how traditional mass marketing works.Traditional Marketing uses demographics to attempt to narrow a large population down to a targeted 'potential' viewer and then interrupting masses of these targeted people with ads be it on TV, print or on billboards but as this video suggests an over reliance on this won't work. As slowly more and more people move online I hope to see less of this kind of marketing and more digital marketing.Digital Marketing is the reverse because it is the very targeted viewer (consumer) searching for very specific content. Thus, the strategy of Digital Marketing is very different and most of all it is very much measurable. Digital marketing is relatively inexpensive. Companies can reach a wide audience for a small fraction of traditional advertising budgets. The nat... | | By: Marketing & technology in India | | |

| | Fundamental Indexing vs. Traditional Indexing | | 2008-04-16 02:30:37 | | Today, one of the biggest idea battles in investments is between fundamental indexing and traditional indexing.The idea behind fundamentally weighted indexes is to weight stocks in an index by some “fundamental” measure of value. The notion originated with Pasadena, Calif., money manager Robert Arnott and it has since been taken up by others, notably Jeremy Siegel, a finance professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.Traditionally, most market indexes have been weighted by market capitalization; a few have used equal weighting methodologies; and the most famous market indicator, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, uses a price-weighting system. In general, however, stock market indexes tend to be market-cap-weighted.In traditional market-capitalization indexing you replicate an existing market exactly as it exists. Then you trust that you’ll earn the return of that asset class, less tiny fees. The best-known example of this is the Vanguard 500 index fund. The ob... | | By: Finance fantasy | | |

| | Making the Transition from Traditional to Technical Textile Markets | | 2008-03-21 04:04:32 | | Technical textiles provide scope for firms in industrialised countries to achieve sustainable growth and escape from the tough competitive environment faced by manufacturers of traditional textiles. Technical textile products are used principally for their performance or functional characteristics rather than for their aesthetics. Consequently, markets for these products tend to be less price sensitive, and greater importance is attached to technical skills, and specialised knowledge, materials, processes and equipment.End uses served by technical textiles are numerous and diverse. Messe Frankfurt, which organises the trade fair Techtextil, has grouped those end uses into 12 broad categories: agriculture and horticulture; architecture, building and construction; clothing technology; geotextiles; functional textiles for the home; industrial textiles; medical and hygiene; transportation; environmental; packaging; safety and protection; and sports and leisure.

| | The Traditional Parking Meter - Redesigned!! | | 2008-02-13 17:20:22 | | The one thing I hate about driving a car is when i have to spend hours trying to find a parking spot. And finally, when I get one, it is a paid spot with a parking meter that gobbles up my quarters, and as luck would have it, I dig into my purse to find that I'm out of quarters!! Oh, how I'd love if these meters would start accepting credit cards!! That's a thought that crosses many minds several times a day, and one such mind belonged to Fred Mitschele, who figured out how to make money out of this simple thought.In cities like New York and San Francisco, where parking is really hard to find, you see patrol cars taking rounds to find a car parked against an expired meter so they can immediately make money by issuing you a fine or a ticket. But in smaller cities, lots of such fines go unpaid, denting the pockets of such governments. On the other hand, customers are looking for an alternative form of payment for such meters, so they don't have to finish their dinner in a hurry before th... | | By: Cool Ideas and gadgets | | |

| | Wayang Golek (traditional puppet from West Java) | | 2007-12-23 10:11:59 | | Wayang Golek is one of the puppet shows in Indonesia, it is a traditional show from Sundanese Land. Yes it's one of the special culture from West Java. This puppet is a little bit different compare to others, specially if you compare it with Wayang Kulit or Wayang Orang from the rest of Java and Bali. Wayang Golek puppets are made from wood, three dimensional puppets and it's not use any screen to be showed.They just use a banana palm to make the Wayang Golek stand helped by the puppeteer (dalang). Behind the puppeteer is a gamelan orchestra who will always give a music and sing along the show (Sundanese music and song), guided by the puppeteer. The stories generally based on the Ramayana and Mahabarata stories using Sundanese language. At the time people try to spread the Islamic religion, they use Ramayana and Maharata subjects simply because those two strories are the famous stories from Hindu's religion (the previous known religion in the area). Therefore they try to influence the people with Islam using those stories.Beside dalang, there is a singer called "Sinden". The famous Sindens are: Upit Sarimanah and Titim Patimah, famous puppeteeer are: Tarkim, R.U. Partasuanda, Abeng Sunarya, Entah Tirayana, Apek, Asep Sunandar Sunarya, Cecep Supriadi etc. Personally I like Asep Sunandar Sunarya, simply because he's so natural to perform specially when Cepot come to the stage.Who is Cepot...?Cepot, or Sastrajingga (I thought it's "Astrajingga") is an elder son from Semar Badranaya and Sutiragen couple. He's so funny, loves to make jokes whoever he talks to. Eventhough he's funny, still he add some advices and critics on his jokes. Therefore everyone who watch the show always hoping to see Cepot because of his funny character. He is the main role. Thepuppeteer usually take him to the stage in the middle of the story, together with the knights (specially Arjuna).The name "Sastra" means essay (tulisan) and "Jingga" means red (merah). Cepot, or Sastrajingga, is li... | | By: Visit Indonesia, euy... | | |

| | The Healing Benefits of Traditional Thai Massage | | 2007-11-20 22:49:45 | | By : Annalisa ZismanThai massage, also known as Nuad Phaen Boran, is an ancient massage that involves not only deep muscle massage, but stretching, elements of shiatsu, yoga, and acupressure as well. Nuad Phaen Boran actually translates into "ancient massage" or "traditional massage." Traditional Thai massage has been practiced for over 2,500 years. It not only relaxes the body, but the mind as well. It actually began in India. The Buddhist monks practiced both massage and other healing arts. This spread to families and as Buddhism spread to Asia, the traditional Thai massage became a part of both the religious and healing part of the religion. It is believed that traditional Thai massage made it to Thailand around the 3rd or 2nd century BC. Many times, monastery temples were built near medical schools so the art of massage was taught among both monks and medical students. Traditional Thai massage focuses on the experience of the whole body. It works on the major energy lines, known as ‘Sen’. These Sen run throughout the body. By loosening blockages, the massage will help harmonize the body and recoup any deficiencies of the energy lines. Just as Chinese medicine uses acupuncture to help revive health, traditional Thai massage uses a similar system of pressure points to help heal and relieve stress. The Prana, or life energy, is allows to freely circulate through the body. Traditional Thai massage has many benefits. Whether you are the receiver of the massage or the giver of the massage, you can feel joy, ease, and comfort. The massage will open up your chakras, allowing you to have a more peaceful mind as well as benefiting your health. The giver of the traditional Thai massage also will receive generosity, compassion, equanimity, the feeling of oneness, the feeling of loving kindness, and the pride that can only be felt by a healer. The receiver will feel the joy of receiving as well as a calmness of rest and a refreshed spirit. Physically, the receiver fe... | | By: Thai Massage | | |
| | Traditional Anniversary Gifts | | 2007-11-03 10:12:19 | | Traditional Wedding Anniversary Gift IdeasTraditional wedding anniversary gifts are chosen from a list of materials that are designated for each year. The first wedding anniversary is symbolized with paper, and from there traditional anniversary gifts become more precious or scarce to reflect the growing number of years a couple has remained together.Wedding Anniversary CustomsNo one is certain just when the traditional gift list came into existence, but it probably evolved over time. Calling years twenty-five and fifty 'Silver' and 'Gold' may have originated in medieval Europe, where wives were given a silver wreath to celebrate their twenty-fifth year of marriage and a gold wreath for their fiftieth wedding anniversary.Diamond Wedding AnniversariesDiamonds are traditional anniversary gifts in both the sixtieth and seventh-fifth years.Year sixty probably became a part of existing traditions when Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee after sixty years on the British throne.The traditional list may seem somewhat boring for the early years, but it doesn't have to be if you get creative. There are many ways you can turn each year's anniversary theme into a special gift.Anniversary Gifts for the First Years, Paper and Cotton * A lovely origami booklet or box folded in a shape that's special to the recipient. And, hint--hint, you can tuck a second gift into the paper. * Paper tickets to a movie, the theatre, a concert or another performance. * A first edition of a favorite book. * Paper flowers that will never fade. * Vintage or new cotton clothing or decorative items. * A scrapbook with a plush cotton cover, filled with memories. * A cotton wallhanging or quilt, or a painting on cotton.That's the idea.

All too often, relaxation is replaced by one’s favourite latte. We have only allowed relaxation to happen in those few precious hours between midnight and dawn. Fortunately as a nation we are becoming increasingly more health conscious, which is why a growing number of people with overall well-being on their minds are now flocking to an ancient type of bodywork most “farangs” or westerners have never heard about: Thai Massage.Imagine your space outfitted with a single mat accompanied by soft music emanating from a stereo in the corner. You are lying on the mat, dressed in loose clothing, while your spa therapist kneels in front of you and begins to carefully stretch your body. Over the course of the session, your body is strategically stretched, lengthened and molded into several positions. Your only job is to breathe. Sound relaxing? It is, but relaxation is just one of the many benefits.Th... | | By: Spas Massage | | |

| | A Traditional Greek Country Salad | | 2007-08-25 14:34:41 | | Horiatiki SalataINGREDIENTS:serves 4* 1 kg (1000 g) hard salad tomatoes* 1 medium sized red onion* 1 green bell pepper* 1 cucumber* ab. 80 g Kalamata black olives* ab. 180 g Feta Cheese, diced, sliced or crumbled* dried oregano* 80 g (80 ml) olive oil* red wine vinegar (or lemon juice) and salt to tasteMETHOD:1. Cut the tomatoes in segments and the cucumber in slices.2. Arrange on a plate and season with salt to taste.3. Add the onion and the green pepper cut in thin rings.4. Add dried oregano, the Feta Cheese and olives.5. Pour the olive oil and vinegar to taste over the salad. Too much vinegar makes the salad too sour.If you should ever find yourselves in the Greek countryside or on any of the beatiful islands of Greece, seek out the Greek Country Salad.My husband and I visited Greece in 1993, and again in 1995. There, in small in size taverns we found the most delicious "Horiatiki salatas" for our lunches or snacks.Why does this salad tastes so good in Greece?The Greek olive oil - probably the best in the world.The olives of Kalamata - smooth and with a meatlike taste.Feta Cheese - the most popular cheese in Greece; an excellent accompaniment to this salad.Oregano - a low bush, which grows throughout all Greece; tastes more like oregano than most oreganos. This herb is used extensively in Greek cooking.The vegetables - onions sweet in taste; perfect tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers. I don´t know why, but for some reason vegetables taste better in Greece than they do elsewhere.However, when the vegetables are in season, everyone can make an awesome Greek Country Salad - whereever you are. There are other quality olive types and good olive oils. Try to find a Feta cheese which has a rich and creamy taste and a mildly salty edge.Enjoy!http://minareceptsamlingar.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss... | | By: My Recipes | | |
