![]() ![]() Plus, the above example took place in what's essentially a lab environment, where we assumed the dividend payout was the only factor moving the stock and option prices. That's why the dividend capture is best-suited for institutional investors and other deep-pocketed players who can afford to trade shares and contracts in bulk. That's why this strategy is called the "dividend capture."īear in mind that the $100 profit doesn't account for brokerage fees or transaction costs, and there are at least four transactions involved. Netting it all out, you've collected $1,500 and paid $425 for a total of $1,075.Īfter subtracting your cost of $975 to enter the position, your total gain is $100 - the exact amount of the dividend payout. The sold call can then be bought to close for $4.25, or $425 (again, accounting for the 1-point drop in the share price). The stock price will have dropped by $1 per share as result of the payout, which means you can sell your stake at $14 per share - or $1,400 total. The next day, when the stock goes ex-dividend, you'll collect $100 in dividend payments. The net outlay to enter the position is $975. Assuming this option is worth $5.25, you'll rake in $525 for the sale of the option, while shelling out $1,500 for the purchase of the stock. ![]() To take advantage, you could buy 100 shares of XYZ and write a 10-strike call. ![]() The call options should be in the money by a healthy amount to ensure they move in close concert with the underlying shares.įor example, let's say XYZ is trading at $15, and it's about to go ex-dividend for $1.00 per share. To play the dividend capture, you'll buy shares of a stock just ahead of the ex-div date, and simultaneously write covered calls against those shares. This options tactic is an arbitrage play, as it's meant to capitalize on minor pricing blips that occur as the result of stocks going ex-dividend.

You may be lying down peacefully when you start to feel a throbbing or itching sensation in your legs that only gets better when you get up and walk. Restless legs syndrome (RLS) causes an irresistible and uncomfortable urge to move your legs. Signals to the muscles that control your breathing while you sleep. This happens when the brain doesn’t send the right nerve While you sleep and partially covers your airway. This occurs when the tissue in the back of the throat relaxes They can both cause excessive sleepiness because they keep you from getting enough deep sleep during the night. ![]() There are actually two main types of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can also contribute to high blood pressure and other heart problems, as well as type 2 diabetes and obesity.
![]() ![]() It has a hardware-accelerated video replay, which increases speed while decreasing battery consumption. Just like VLC, it’s packed with advanced features and supports several different file formats. The app has had quite a legacy since it was first published in 2004. There’s no need to worry about random commercial pop-ups because the VLC player is entirely ad-free. The player also gives you the ability to add subtitles and closed captions to your video, enable multi-track audio, and rotate the direction. The app also allows you to adjust the brightness and volume settings through gesture control. Some of the more advanced features include an EQ with five different filters, multi-track audio, and network streaming. It supports a wide range of formats and codecs for both audio and video files. The open-source media player is compatible with all Android devices. Here’s a breakdown of some of the more popular apps available on the Google P l ay Store: Choose or Install Your Preferred Android Video Playerįirst, you need to choose and install your preferred Android video player. In this article, we’ll show you how to change your default video player and discuss the best third-party solutions. Fortunately, it's totally possible to program it.Īs a correction to a previous post, tar files aren't compressed, but they are archives (I would have given a zip or something else instead, but it was kind of inconvenient at the time).Īnyway, I made some more m3u playlists of URLs (for Hymns, The Children's Songbook, and scriptures in both English and Spanish both words, and music and music only are included).Fortunately, there’s no shortage of third-party apps you can turn to for a better viewing experience. I'm hoping to program something that accomplishes my desired functionality there, unless such a time as they fix it comes first. So, you might want to remove either the `-shuffle` flag or the `-save-position-on-quit` flag. I also discovered that if you supply the `-shuffle` flag, it reshuffles every time you open it, even if you used/use `-save-position-on-quit`, instead of finishing the initial shuffled playlist before it shuffles again. If that happens with you, and you're listening to audio rather than watching videos, I recommend starting mpv with the `-no-video` flag, like this: `mpv -no-video`, or else the GUI you see won't be the command-line media player I described in previous posts (you can still control it from the command-line even when the GUI is open, however). Okay, so I finally tried mpv on Xubuntu (a Linux distribution), and unlike what it does on Termux, it launched a GUI with it by default, which hid many of mpv's features. While it's not required, you might want to make some bash scripts similar to these, for convenience (don't forget to make them executable, with such as `chmod +x myFileName` and put them in your path if you want that you'll want to adjust the filepaths below to reflect where you put your m3u files and what you named them, and add or remove -shuffle, depending on if you want it):Ĭode for the file to execute to play the sessions (name the file whatever you want): ![]() To make an m3u playlist, just copy and paste the URLs into a plaintext file and make the file extension. In my opinion, this software deserves some awards. See this link to an answer to a question on StackExchange for more information about features and how to get started:Īnyway, it's free. It does actually stream http links without downloading the whole thing first (I'm testing it on a General Conference session MP3 URL online, now it started playing almost right away fast forwarding and rewinding is also fast while streaming). That would probably be easier to organize, anyway. While it doesn't have DAAP client functionality, you could always set up a local HTTP server on your desktop, and make playlist files of links (from the local website) to run on your Android device with mpv. I'm planning to program a countdown timer that pauses/resumes with play/pause of the media (to make listening to the scriptures for a certain amount of time more convenient). ![]() You can even make your own features with Lua scripts (and you can do lots of cool stuff with Termux, of course). I imagine some of you use Android, and want to be able to customize your audio media experience, have it be super fast, have keyboard shortcuts, and stuff like that.Īnyway, I've discovered a command-line media player for Termux (which is kind of like a Linux command-line for Android) that has loads of features it's called mpv (via Termux-not the GUI-based one on Google Play). Some of you probably have a bunch of mp3s (or other compressed audio) for content pertaining to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which you downloaded from or its predecessor, whether they be music, audiobooks, General Conference, or whatever. ![]() ![]() Their monthly service charge will remain the same.

These irrigation accounts can reduce the effects of this rate increase on their energy bill by irrigating outside of the peak demand hours of 2 p.m. The change in the energy charge for these irrigation accounts is based upon their contribution to Flint’s summer peak demand.

But while Weedman is excellent, the nature of her role as a mental health professional makes this a different conversation than the one Rue and Ali had. Mardy Nichols (Lauren Weedman), as if Schafer and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, who co-wrote the episode and directed it, were huge fans of HBO’s late, great, and soon-to-be-rebooted drama In Treatment. Much of it takes place in Jules’ first session with her new therapist, Dr. “Fuck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob” is slightly less of an acoustic duet. It was Euphoria stripped of all its stylistic tics, and the emotional substance proved more satisfying than the show’s usual flash. The Rue episode, “Trouble Don’t Last Always,” was essentially a one-act play in which Rue and her Narcotics Anonymous sponsor Ali (Colman Domingo) open up about their respective addictions and heartbreaks. It’s as if these two episodes - created and produced under Covid safety guidelines, with stripped-down casts and crews - are meant to be “real life.” And they have been anything but a letdown. But it’s striking to see how much this special and the one focusing on Jules’ girlfriend Rue (Zendaya) serve as a departure from the heightened reality of the series’ first season. “I feel like real life is always such a letdown,” Jules Vaughn (Hunter Schafer) announces midway through this second Euphoria special, titled “Fuck Anyone Who’s Not a Sea Blob.” She’s referring to how much more satisfying she finds online relationships than in-person ones, particularly in the aftermath of being catfished by sociopath supervillain Nate (Jacob Elordi). “I want to see trans people directing, not only because I think they can do a better job representing us…but I think there is a certain level of creativity that is inherent to transness and very special to transness that is unique, and has not received the funding nor the opportunity to be made that I think it deserves.This post contains spoilers for the second Euphoria special, which premieres Sunday night on HBO and is available on HBO Max. “I’m still seeing a lot of cis people doing the directing and the casting and everything,” she said. While authentic casting has pretty much become the norm, she says trans talent is often “the token trans person” on set, which places an undue burden on them. Schafer recognizes the many barriers to showing nuanced trans narratives on TV, especially the lack of opportunities for trans talent. Hunter Schafer and Zendaya in “Euphoria” Eddy Chen / HBO That’s obviously a win for the show, but also for trans viewers craving storytelling that doesn’t trade complexity for inoffensiveness. With Schafer as a co-writer, Levinson was able to delve deeper into the more complicated - and dramatically ripe - nuances of trans identity, which includes permutation as infinite and varied as the entire spectrum of human gender and sexuality. “And I think I can also confidently say that none of us are certain about any of it and that it’s all fluid and spiritual in some way, and intangible in a lot of ways, which makes it difficult to talk about and articulate in some ways.” “Particularly with my very close tight-knit trans family, these are things we consistently talk about with each other,” Schafer said. ![]() With Schafer’s name proudly displayed as a writer of the episode, however, viewers can breathe easy knowing these complex conversations were grounded in a trans perspective. For that reason, antennae go up whenever hormones, surgery, or transition are discussed in TV or film, especially in a show as popular as “Euphoria” with such a groundbreaking and beloved trans character as Jules. For too long, transgender representation in media focused solely on elements of medical transition, wrongly emphasizing the physical body in relation to a person’s gender. ![]() |
