Just prior to her performance Miley shared an Instagram video from backstage. In the cheeky clip, the star continued her oral fixation by wearing a set of comedic prop teeth as the struck a series of goofy poses. But Miley actually has big hopes for her tour, telling MTV last month: 'I hope people open their minds and they look at my tour as something that I do feel is educational for kids. 'Because I think a lot of people aren't exposed to art enough and that's something that I had to learn about. She added: 'It's a lot how a play would be and we've got kind of these intermissions to keep people really involved and what I wanted is for people to see a show that they would least expect. 'I want my fans to walk away knowing more about the art that inspires me. Between the VMAS and unplugged, there's a hybrid that really makes it about the music. 'It is fun for people to walk out and be like 'Oh my God did she just do that?' But there's so much that I do love about shock value, but then I really want there to be that core about the music.'

Oct 15, 2014 Here s a guide to show you how to play SRT subtitle files when playing movies or videos in Windows Media Player using DirectVobSub codec. Each copy of the game has a unique CD Key, and sharing these keys is not allowed. Firstly, have a good search around your home as it's easy to misplace a manual or jewel case. If you really cannot find it, try contacting 2K Games (they've taken over the original developer and publisher) and they may. I have owned and used Hidden & Dangerous 2 (H&D2) regularly for several years, and added H&D2: Sabre Squadron about 2 years ago. About 10 days ago, during online multiplayer game play, the game suddenly exited. I was unable to restart. I rebooted, and tried again. Since that time, when I tried to play, the game would start to load and then suddenly exit (before launching the intro movie scene). After some days of this, today I attempted a repair installation of H&D2, suspecting that perhaps some file had become corrupted. The repair install progressed normally, but at the end of the repair install, when I tried to play the game, I get a popup alert message 'Wrong CDKey, Contact Illusion Software' and the game exits. I have subsequently tried multiple reboots, and finally a full ininstall and reinstall of H&D2. No matter what I have tried, I continue to get the 'Wrong CDKey' message. I have checked to make sure the correct CD is inserted, and made other attempts to make sure I have the correct files, etc. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc? As I said, this began in the middle of online play, and I had made no recent changes to my computer config, etc. (btw, if you play H&D2 / Sabre Squadron online, I am 'Z Man'). OK probably two separate issues: 1) Game crashed in online play 2) Repair/reinstall causes problems with CD Key validation Let's take 2) first: H&D2 has 2 popups for 'Wrong CD Key', at launch and on connecting to a multiplayer game. The main reason for the error on launch is the game isn't being run in an account with full admin rights. On the off-chance that your account profile may be damaged it could be worth creating a new administrator account on your PC to test install into. Also make sure you have the latest patch for H&D2 which can be downloaded from: (this is a direct link to the roll-up of all patches to-date) Pop-up launches on connecting to a multiplayer game are pretty much all firewall related. H&D2 does not AFAIK create a hash key identifying your PC in combination with your CD Key in the same way as say Punkbuster so you shouldn't have to contact Illusion/Take2 to get their servers reset. Once the game is back up we can think about chasing why 1) happened but if it is simply a corrupted file it may take a very long time!!! (consider a HDD surface scan though just in case). Ok, I was trying to uninstall so could I do a complete install under a new profile. However, the uninstall link wasn't showing in the Start menu. I tried Add/Remove programs, and uninstall wasn't an option there, either (although uninstalling the 1.12 patch was). So, inserted my program disk, and it asked for the CD key. Once I entered that, I could play all offline missions. So, I am further along than I was, but although I can now play offline, when I click on the in-game menu to play online, the game freezes for a second (mouse freezes, music stutters), and then exits out.

The reason is the ratings of foreign films (especially the Indian films) are 3-5 times higher than that of Vietnamese films. This helps them to get more advertising contracts. Vietnamese television broadcasters pay for films by revenues from advertising. Therefore, when Indian soap operas attract audiences, ie advertising, Indian films flood all channels. A film importer revealed that it has to pay from US$1,500-$2,000 for an episode of Indian soap operas. The rate is only behind that for South Korean dramas. Notably, Indian films in particular and foreign films in general have changed the Vietnamese audience’s habits. Many housewives are ready to stay at home to watch the Indian series '8-year-old bride' instead of going to the market as usual. Or they abandon others to sit in front of the television set to watch 'My wife is a police officer' at 8pm every day. It is very common to see groups of women chatting about characters and details in Indian series. As they love Indian films, Indian actors were warmly welcomed in Vietnam. In recent years, the Vietnamese audience has experienced different kinds of films coming from Asian countries with a developed film industry such as China, South Korea and most recently India, Thailand, and the Philippines. Based on this fact, if this situation continues, will Vietnamese movies will be inferior on the home market?

Apple reported last week that the iPhone 6 sold a record-breaking four million units in the first 24 hours of presales, and earlier today said ten million models of their latest phone were sold over the first three days it was available to the public, making it the most popular iPhone yet. The bad news however, is despite all its advancements, and its very high cost, which starts at $199 then goes up to $399 for the iPhone 6 plus, the device still cracks when it lands on its screen. A recent demonstration tested every iPhone ever made to see how they would fare if dropped on their side and their screen, and only one phone managed to survive the impact with its screen not shattered.

However, i felt it was neccessary to mentoin this god of a man. Since, his jewish birth on December 6, 1976, god has given him the gift of 'thinking of the funniest shit ever' award. His start was slow, but once he got rollin his career hasn't stopped. Almost every major comedy since the early 2000's, he has been involved in. He should win a humanitarian award for how much lives he has lifted (mostly nerds and lonely girlfriendless men). None the less, he has his place in Comedic Movie history.

Without a shadow of doubt, one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century is the e-reader. Our reasoning is simple: As great as inventions such as the Internet and 3D printing are, they don't allow you to read during your daily commute. There are no other reasons. But, as it turns out, old-timey people were also able to read ankle pornography or fantasy novels about women's rights in complete privacy, all thanks to the, a handheld device that was apparently designed by a sadistic yet bookwormish ophthalmologist. A man so crucial to reading smut in public, pictures of him are printed only in 50 actual shades of gray. It was incredibly simple to use. Using a font size that could be measured only in gnome tears, each book was printed onto a series of thin. Once slotted into the machine, all the reader had to do was look through the eyeglass and, voila, reading. It was that Mark Twain's, a weighty tome clocking in at 93,000 words, could be shrunk down to only 13 pamphlets, which is an impressive achievement considering that old-timey words were super long and slang hadn't been invented yet. The guy behind this device, Rear Admiral Bradley Fiske, was even as cock-sure as Steve Jobs or Elon Musk when it came to talk about how his invention was going to revolutionize the world. As he described it, the Fiske Reading Machine heralded the death of the modern-day printing press, a device that, as of this writing, has survived more certain deaths than The Goddamn Batman. Arogant/iStock/Getty Images 'Come back once you've co-existed with the microprocessor, kid.' Even if it's been years since you picked up a newspaper or watched the 6 o'clock news, headlines have found a new way to bore themselves into our brains several times a day: social media. Our news comes so fast that the fact-checking doesn't even start. We aren't the first generation to have access to fast-breaking news, however. Such a system also existed back in the 1930s with the advent of. The brainchild of inventor William Finch, it was an ingenious way of distributing newspapers to households who possessed a large enough fortune to buy the requisite machines but didn't have enough money to pay a servant to run down to the local store. I can buy half of a new car or have a grainy photo of Shirley Temple every morning. Read Next In order to receive this service, it was necessary to purchase a special printer that could both a) receive the radio signal and b) translate the signal into text/images and print the resulting newspaper. It was common practice for newspaper companies to transmit several times a day as the daily news progressed, a magnificent convenience only slightly offset by the fact that an average newspaper took six hours to print and the household machines could get their signals only between midnight and 6 a.m. So while you were sleeping off a hard day of barely getting by, your radio fax was clumsily printing the day's news. All night long. No wonder it was called The Great Depression. Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images 'If only there were some other way to get breaking news via radio.' It's hard to imagine that there's a historical precedent for wearable technology. After all, the history books aren't exactly crammed with depictions of old-timey geeks comparing how many messenger pigeons they can fit on their arm-mounted roost or fashioning spectacles with built-in map etchings. But, as it turns out, the people of 17th-century China were before it was fashionable. It was, to put it simply, a ring containing the most revolutionary piece of computing technology to exist in the world at the time: an abacus. We're aware that you're probably scoffing yourself into a coma right now, but it's thought that this ring was used by traders to calculate the value of goods, meaning that it's no crazier than whipping out your iPhone in the grocery store and totaling up your spending. There were even ridiculous deluxe models so you could be the 'That guy' of the 1600s. As you might notice in the above picture, the abacus wasn't suitable for anyone blessed with human fingers (that is, everyone). With the frame measuring in at only.5 inches by.2 inches, the beads were no larger than.03 inches and were able to be moved only if the user had a hairpin on hand. But, speaking personally, we can't wait for the modern-day version from Apple, which is region-locked and allows you to calculate the value of goods bought only from iTunes, as well as transmits all calculations directly to the NSA without telling you. If we were to tell you that in-car navigation has been around since the early years of the 20th century, you'd likely respond by calling bullshit because a) there was no such thing as GPS, b) only a select few were able to afford cars, and c) no one had any money, so flashy car accessories were always beat out by food and polio medicine on everyone's list of things to buy urgently. The Iter Avto was invented in 1932 by a car company from Italy for one purpose: to 'guide you by the hand showing you in your travels with impeccable accuracy' (sic),. As pretentious as that description might sound, it was backed up with an impressive system for the time. Inside the car was a box that contained a scroll map of the route that the driver needed to take. As the car traveled along, the scroll -- thanks to a system that connected it to the car's speedometer -- would automatically move and provide the driver with an up-to-date location. With the benefit of not erasing all of your Victrola tunes whenever you updated. As you'd expect, the map also provided the driver with any useful information about the forthcoming area, like whether they were near a river/railway/hotel/mafia execution site, allowing them to take immediate action if necessary (keep driving/keep driving/sleep/drive away quickly, respectively). The only real drawback to the was that it relied on the driver to create a map scroll listing the route, as well as all possible dangers, which really undermines the point of having a system that guides you through them. This might be why we're able to find a ton of information on the device but no information on its demise, as if one committed a terrible crime and humanity collectively decided never to speak of it again. Although, to be fair, that region probably had to worry about, so we'll cut them a little slack. And, hey, speaking of map technology that was around earlier than you thought possible, here's proof that Google Street View -- everyone's favorite source of unintentional hilarity -- was before it became standard by MIT, a school whom we're now sure is the stateside equivalent of Hogwarts, because seriously have you seen how similar this is. Admittedly, this innovative technology only allowed people to explore the streets of Aspen, Colorado. See, the aim of this project wasn't to completely future-steal Larry Page's shit; it was to create an interactive map of the town that would allow local residents to explore the streets, view historic photos, and listen to interviews with other residents. In scenes that resembled the making of a blockbuster explode-fest action movie, this involved rigging a ton of cars and students with cameras and setting them loose on the streets. And seeing as how their 'safety rig' was instructions to try to balance on the icy roof of a moving station wagon, we're guessing 'loose on the streets' included limbs and bowel movements. If there's one thing that highlights how impressively brilliant-but-fucked modern technology is, it's the existence of: terrible, soul-sucking reprobates who file vaguely termed patents explicitly so they can sue companies who eventually actually invent something that infringes on their bullshit even slightly. Giovanni da Modena As seen here, interacting with the concept of innovation. It's comforting, then, in a twisted, schadenfreude-esque way, that our ancestors also had to deal with these guys. That said, they had the option of challenging them to a duel and settling ridiculous legal disputes in a split second, so we're kinda envious. One of the earliest-known patent trolls was a devious swine known as, an engineer with a fetish for reading patents. He shot to infamy in the late 19th century with the 'Road Engine,' a design for a horseless carriage back in the days when no one was interested in making them. Selden, therefore, filed his patent in 1879 and, through skillful manipulation of the rules concerning patent filing, managed to delay the process of granting it until 1895, when automobile manufacturing was the hottest new career in town. A career that, and we cannot stress this enough, he. By doing this, Selden ensured that no one else would be able to patent his idea and, also, no one would be able to create a workaround. Whenever a car manufacturer created a new model, Selden would often claim that the design infringed on his design and, oh wouldn't you know it, this whole problem could go away after a swift cash injection. He would later be described as the bane of the automotive industry and, while we were pretty harsh on patent trolls during the opening of this entry, it's hard not to root for the man who caused a headache.

Well, Ubuntu has made me feel very welcome in the Linux world, opening its arms with serious problems. I guess I wouldn't say I am new, but I haven't used Ubuntu for almost 5 years now. I have been having a large issue where my Alfa AWUS036H Wireless Adapter is experiencing a VERY SLOW connection. It takes me about 5-10 minutes to download 5MB, and I have a 100mbps download speed through my provider. This worked great on windows, but now that I have switched to Ubuntu, I am having so many problems. I read that if I re-install the new version of the Realtek RTL8187 driver, it would fix my speed issue. This last answer works like a charm for me in LUbuntu. SOLVED] Patching rtl. Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums. I just realised I never gave you the link for the aircrack guide, sorry! The guide I was talking about anyway. How to install the new version of the RTL8187 driver on Ubuntu 13.04? Up vote 6 down vote favorite. Well, Ubuntu has made me feel very welcome in the Linux world. I'm noticing every time I reboot I have to repeat these last steps. Is there anyway to like 'cement' this as a permanent thing. I'm using a HP All in on 1 deal and I'm not liking how the bios won't let me shut off the onboard wifi for it and theres no external 'turn off' switch for it. I've tried to accept the bad with the good and using the onboard for wifi internet while the Realtek runs airmon-ng. You're getting good traffic to this website from me tho, been to this page like 20 times now cuz it actually fixes my problem. But would like to actually 'fix' fix it instead of bandaiding it like I am here. In reply to: sudo modprobe rtl8187 sudo iwconfig wlan1 rate 5.5M fixed sudo iwconfig wlan1 frag 2346 sudo iwconfig wlan1 rts 2347 sudo iwconfig wlan1 txpower 30 set in rc.local ^^ ALSO My version of this particular card WON'T let me set it to power 30 without the classic error: Error for wireless request 'Set Tx Power' (8B26): SET failed on device wlan1; Invalid argument. For this, I switched the numbers first 20, it didn't error anymore.Thought hmmm, its the number.so tried 21, 22, etc, it went as high as 27 for my version of this particular card before it errored. So there.I contributed with my question, those having the error with txpower part, try a smaller number. I am using Backtrack 4 (installed on hdd), and I have an USB wifi adapter that uses rtl8187. I am trying to test wep cracking on my router (the signal is about 80%). I executed aireplay -9 and it shows 'Injection is working 30/30 100%'. But when start airodump to capture ivs, and aireplay -3 to inject, it only captures 1 iv every few seconds. On aircrack website I found, but it seems those patches are for an old kernel, so I went here and there i see: rtl8187-mac80211-injection-speed-2.6.30-rc3.patch This looks appropriated for BT4, but I don't know how to apply the patch. Could someone explain me how? (preferably without having to recompile kernels) And is there any other patch I should apply on bt4 (2.6.30)? In finance, a foreign exchange option (commonly shortened to just FX option or currency option) is a derivative financial instrument that gives the right but not the obligation to exchange money denominated in one currency into another currency at a pre-agreed exchange rate on a specified date.[1] See Foreign exchange derivative. The foreign exchange options market is the deepest, largest and most liquid market for options of any kind. Most trading is over the counter (OTC) and is lightly regulated, but a fraction is traded on exchanges like the International Securities Exchange, Philadelphia Stock Exchange, or the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for options on futures contracts. The global market for exchange-traded currency options was notionally valued by the Bank for International Settlements at $158.3 trillion in 2005 For example, a GBPUSD contract could give the owner the right to sell?1,000,000 and buy $2,000,000 on December 31. In this case the pre-agreed exchange rate, or strike price, is 2.0000 USD per GBP (or GBP/USD 2.00 as it is typically quoted) and the notional amounts (notionals) are?1,000,000 and $2,000,000. This type of contract is both a call on dollars and a put on sterling, and is typically called a GBPUSD put, as it is a put on the exchange rate; although it could equally be called a USDGBP call. If the rate is lower than 2.0000 on December 31 (say 1.9000), meaning that the dollar is stronger and the pound is weaker, then the option is exercised, allowing the owner to sell GBP at 2.0000 and immediately buy it back in the spot market at 1.9000, making a profit of (2.0000 GBPUSD? 1.9000 GBPUSD)? 1,000,000 GBP = 100,000 USD in the process. If instead they take the profit in GBP (by selling the USD on the spot market) this amounts to 100,000 / 1.9000 = 52,632 GBP. Although FX options are more widely used today than ever before, few multinationals act as if they truly understand when and why these instruments can add to shareholder value. To the contrary, much of the time corporates seem to use FX options to paper over accounting problems, or to disguise the true cost of speculative positioning, or sometimes to solve internal control problems. The standard clich? About currency options affirms without elaboration their power to provide a company with upside potential while limiting the downside risk. Options are typically portrayed as a form of financial insurance, no less useful than property and casualty insurance. This glossy rationale masks the reality: if it is insurance then a currency option is akin to buying theft insurance to protect against flood risk. The truth is that the range of truly non-speculative uses for currency options, arising from the normal operations of a company, is quite small. In reality currency options do provide excellent vehicles for corporates' speculative positioning in the guise of hedging. Corporates would go better if they didn't believe the disguise was real. Let's start with six of the most common myths about the benefits of FX options to the international corporation -- myths that damage shareholder values. Historically, the currency derivative pricing literature and the macroeconomics literature on FX determination have progressed separately. In this Chapter I argue the joint study of these two strands of literature and give an overview of FX option pricing concepts and terminology crucial for this interdisciplinary study.

I also explain the three sources of information about market expectations and perception of risk that can be extracted from FX option prices and review empirical methods for extracting option-implied densities of future exchange rates. As an illustration, I conclude the Chapter by investigating time series dynamics of option-implied measures of FX risk vis-a-vis market events and US government policy actions during the period January 2007 to December 2008. Chapter 2: This Chapter proposes using foreign exchange (FX) options with different strike prices and maturities to capture both FX expectations and risks. We show that exchange rate movements, which are notoriously difficult to model empirically, are well-explained by the term structures of forward premia and options-based measures of FX expectations and risk. Although this finding is to be expected, expectations and risk have been largely ignored in empirical exchange rate modeling. Using daily options data for six major currency pairs, we first show that the cross section options-implied standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis consistently explain not only the conditional mean but also the entire conditional distribution of subsequent currency excess returns for horizons ranging from one week to twelve months. At June 30 and September 30, the value of the portfolio was?1,050,000. Note, however, that the notional amount of Ridgeway's hedging instrument was only?1,000,000. Therefore, subsequent to the increase in the value of the pound (which is assumed to have occurred on June 30), a portion of Ridgeway's foreign currency exchange risk was not hedged. For the three-month period ending September 30, exchange rates caused the value of the portfolio to decline by $52,500. Of that amount, only $50,000 was offset by changes in the value of the currency put option. The difference between those amounts ($2,500) represents the exchange rate loss on the unhedged portion of the portfolio (i.e., the 'additional'?50,000 of fair value that arose through increased share prices after entering into the currency hedge). At June 30, the additional?50,000 of stock value had a U.S. Dollar fair value of $45,000. At September 30, using the spot rate of 0.85:1, the fair value of this additional portion of the portfolio declined to $42,500. Ridge way will exclude from its assessment of hedge effectiveness the portion of the fair value of the put option attributable to time value. That is, Ridgeway will recognize changes in that portion of the put option's fair value in earnings but will not consider those changes to represent ineffectiveness. Aitan Goelman, the CFTC’s Director of Enforcement, stated: “The setting of a benchmark rate is not simply another opportunity for banks to earn a profit. Countless individuals and companies around the world rely on these rates to settle financial contracts, and this reliance is premised on faith in the fundamental integrity of these benchmarks. The market only works if people have confidence that the process of setting these benchmarks is fair, not corrupted by manipulation by some of the biggest banks in the world.” The Commission finalized rules to implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regarding Regulation of Off-Exchange Retail Foreign Exchange Transactions and Intermediaries.
