The maximum pain theory is that the majority of traders who buy and hold options contracts until expiration will have an options contract with a lower value than which it was purchased.
Maximum Pain is the point at which most call and put option contracts become worthless when they expire.
The Strike of Pain is the strike price with the lowest In-the-Money value for both calls and puts on a given stock for a given expiration date. This is the strike where the long option traders will lose the most money and the short option traders will gain the most value. The Strike of Pain is calculated by taking the open interest of the various In-the-Money strike prices multiplied by the amount that the call or put is In-the-Money. The In-the-Money values are added together, and the strike with the lowest monetary value is the Strike of Pain. The Strike of Pain calculation is based on the theory of Max-Pain developed by BCA Software.
It is believed that stocks will have a tendency to gravitate to the Strike of Pain on expiration day. There is evidence that this tendency exists, but there is still debate on whether this is caused by manipulation, market forces, or by mere chance. It is important to note that such events such as market upheaval, price momentum, breaking news or extreme earnings reports will negate the Strike of Pain value. It is also important to note that the Strike of Pain price is more reliable within the last week until expiration. The Strike of Pain value for a 6-month out target month may be inaccurate as the open interest can drastically change between now and the 6-month expiration date.

InVANET - is an Intelligent Vehicular AdHoc Networking uses WiFi IEEE 802.11 b/g and WiMAX IEEE 802.16 for easy and accurate, effective and simple communication between vehicles on dynamic mobility. Effective measures such as media communication between vehicles can be enabled as well methods to track the automotive vehicles is also preferred.
Automotive vehicular information can be viewed on electronic maps using the Internet or specialized software. The advantage of WiFi based navigation system function is that it can effectively locate a vehicle which is inside big campuses like universities, airports, and tunnels.
InVANET can be used as part of automotive electronics, which has to identify an optimally minimal path for navigation with minimal traffic intensity. The system can also be used as a city guide to locate and identify landmarks in a new city. INADVENC is a google group specifically discussing on InVANET.

NyLon is the name of a virtual city consisting of New York and London. As the two cities seem to drift more and more together in a globalized world, having more in common with one another than with the rest of their American respective British hinterlands, the new composed name "NyLon" emerged as a viable description of this new reality on the ground. The term is often used by newspaper commentators on the both sides of the Atlantic, and has more recently gained acceptance as such.
It was often claimed that both cities share a cosmopolitan lifestyle, and their coming together was described as a "parallel world" or a "binary" infatuation, unrivaled by other places.
The geographical distance and the time zone difference confer the of the two places a special mystique. As New York indulges in night time glamour, London awakens to daytime chic. The bright lights of the New York catwalk match the fever of London’s iconic style.
The "NyLonians" are often described as "being urged to accessorize to sip cocktails in rooftop bars and sashay along the most celebrated streets in the world: Bond Street, Fifth Avenue, Portobello, Soho, Manhattan, Knightsbridge etc". Multifarious Nylon seems ultimately to be combination of slick, polished New York and cool, cultivated London. The columnist John Gapper recently described NyLon as:
NyLon is also part of the phenomenon of the city state. Coastal and entrepôt cities around the world are outgrowing the nations that contain them. Dubai and other Emirates states are reinventing themselves as financial centres and a token of Shanghai’s rapid growth was the appointment this week of Xi Jinping, one of the city’s leaders, to the ruling Chinese politburo
A "NyLon commuter" is someone who is sometimes described as "commuting between New York and London".
The prestigious British weekly The Observer has recently named NyLon as the "capital of the world"
Trivia
* NyLon is the title of a monthly fashion magazine which figures articles on "self-willed sibling-cities New York and London"

The name Jackass UK was chosen to honor the Jackass team based in the USA however the team have now adopted it enough to be called the Official Jackass team of the UK due to their popularity and status.
The Growth Of The Team
The Jackass UK boys Andi Briggs & Crazy Joe were good at their stunts but they didnt quite make a team as a Duo so they opted to find more members, doing this was difficult as there were not many people willing to do stunts around the area. Briggs had the idea to make the team a website based on the popular website and then after adding a number of people in the Stoke-on-Trent area, found future members Ashley Colclough, Scott Colclough, Karl Parmee, Natalie C, James Black & Lukas Searle. The team also took on various sponsors and live events at local venues again furthering the teams popularity base.
Team Changes

Most videos not uploaded to the internet are mainly too to show to the public however all videos are still kept for the Jackass UK archive for future use.
