Parity - When we discuss parity in terms of options, we say that parity is the amount by which an option is in the money. Parity refers to the option trading in unison with the stock. This also means that parity and intrinsic value are closely related. When we say that an option is trading at parity, we mean that the options premium consists of only its intrinsic value.For example, if Microsoft was trading at $53.00 and the January 50 calls were trading at $3.00, then the January 50 calls are said to be trading at parity. Under the same guidelines, the January 45 call would be trading at parity if they were trading at $8.00. So, parity for the January 50 calls is $3.00 while parity for the January 45 calls is $8.00Now if these calls were trading for more than parity, the amount (in dollars) over parity is called premium over parity. Thus, the term premium over parity is synonymous with extrinsic value, which was discussed above.If the stock is trading
The Hero's Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the Hollywood movies we have deconstructed are based on this template.
Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.
The Hero's Journey:
a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.
b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.
c) Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.
and more...

Everyone wants to earn more, but few are willing to change behavior to do so. In fact, most arent. In my work of over 19 years with the high sales achiever, I find that most of them operate with a different set of rules about selling and the pursuit of new business. These new rules help govern their behavior and actions in the sales cycle. I have over 25 rules that Ive documented, but here are the top five for you to consider: 1. Define what you want to attract. High sales achievers are very specific about what they want to attract, both in terms of financial outcomes and business relationships. The Universe has an interesting way of delivering to you exactly what you order, so be specific on your order when you place it. The Universe doesnt respond well to, I just want to make more money. 2. Bring up what scares you. Most sales executive fears are an illusion. The worst thing we can do with fear is to ignore it. That feeling

The expectations we create for others often become reality. This can have interesting effects when applied out in the real world. Expectations have changed the lives and persuaded the behavior of other individuals.Under the umbrella of expectations, teachers can be the greatest asset or the greatest negative influence in a child's life. We know what happens when a teacher labels a student a "troublemaker" because it creates certain expectations for the student's actions. We have seen the labels "slow learner," "stupid," and "ADD" become projections for a student's future academic success. There is the story of the substitute teacher who came to class and found a note from the regular teacher labeling one of her students as a troublemaker and another as helpful. The substitute teacher began the class looking for these two students. When she found them, she treated them accordingly. However, when the teacher returned, she was amazed when she discovered the substitute felt the troublema

Federal enterprise architecture is a Presidential initiative aimed at making the Federal government capable of handling challenges in the new information age. The initiative, headed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), proposes to change the governmental perspective to one that is citizen-centered, result-oriented, market-based and customer-focused through a new business-based framework called the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA).The development of this new model dates back to February 2002. The aim was to streamline the processes and combine the work across the agencies, according to the policies and programs of the Federal government. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is focused on helping agencies develop their enterprise architecture programs so that they can benefit from using EA as a strategic planning tool. OMB is striving to help agencies link departmental-level EA throughout their operations, so that its value is reflected in both internal operational
