Speed Up

Speed Up is an Italian motorcycle racing team and constructor founded in 2010 and based in Vicenza, Italy. In 2012 the company started building its own chassis under the Speed Up Factory name.

History

The team was founded in 2010 by the former Grand Prix motorcyclist Luca Boscoscuro and entered the newly formed Moto2 class of the world championship. In the team's first year they achieved three wins with their S10 motorcycle, based on a FTR Moto M210 frame, ridden by Andrea Iannone and Gábor Talmácsi. In 2011 the Speed Up team elected to enter an FTR M211 chassis ridden by Pol Espargaró and Valentin Debise.

In 2012 Speed Up started building its own chassis named the S12. Boscoscuro entered into partnership with Andrea Iannone's Speed Master team supplying him with the new frames and fielding a bike for Mike Di Meglio; the best results were achieved by Iannone thanks to two victories. During the season, the QMMF Racing Team switched from Moriwaki to Speed Up frames.

2013 saw the debut of the SF13 chassis, fielded by three teams – Forward Racing, AGR and QMMF – but achieving only a podium with Simone Corsi as a best result.

  • Greeks (finance)

    In mathematical finance, the Greeks are the quantities representing the sensitivity of the price of derivatives such as options to a change in underlying parameters on which the value of an instrument or portfolio of financial instruments is dependent. The name is used because the most common of these sensitivities are denoted by Greek letters (as are some other finance measures). Collectively these have also been called the risk sensitivities,risk measures or hedge parameters.

    Use of the Greeks

    The Greeks are vital tools in risk management. Each Greek measures the sensitivity of the value of a portfolio to a small change in a given underlying parameter, so that component risks may be treated in isolation, and the portfolio rebalanced accordingly to achieve a desired exposure; see for example delta hedging.

    The Greeks in the Black–Scholes model are relatively easy to calculate, a desirable property of financial models, and are very useful for derivatives traders, especially those who seek to hedge their portfolios from adverse changes in market conditions. For this reason, those Greeks which are particularly useful for hedging—such as delta, theta, and vega—are well-defined for measuring changes in Price, Time and Volatility. Although rho is a primary input into the Black–Scholes model, the overall impact on the value of an option corresponding to changes in the risk-free interest rate is generally insignificant and therefore higher-order derivatives involving the risk-free interest rate are not common.

    Lotna

    Lotna is a Polish war film released in 1959 and directed by Andrzej Wajda.

    Overview

    This highly symbolic movie is both the director's tribute to the long and glorious history of the Polish cavalry, as well as a more ambiguous portrait of the passing of an era. Wajda was the son of a Polish Cavalry officer who was murdered by the Soviets during the Katyn massacre.

    The horse Lotna represents the entire Romantic tradition in culture, a tradition that had a huge influence in the course of Polish history and the formation of Polish literature. Lotna is Wajda's meditation on the historical breaking point that was 1939, as well as a reflection on the ending of an entire era for literature and culture in Poland and in Europe as a whole. Writing of the film, Wajda states that it "held great hopes for him, perhaps more than any other." Sadly, Wajda came to think of Lotna "a failure as a film."

    The film remains highly controversial, as Wajda includes a mythical scene in which Polish horsemen suicidally charge a unit of German tanks, an event that never actually happened.

    Speed (Montgomery Gentry song)

    "Speed" is a song written by Jeffrey Steele and Chris Wallin, and recorded by American country music duo Montgomery Gentry. It was released in December 2002 as the second single from their album My Town. The title from the cover of this single borrows its font from Speed Racer.

    "She Couldn't Change Me" was included as a B-side.

    Music video

    The music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy. A young man trades his old truck for a car with speed as his truck just brings back memories of his ex-lover. He buys the car, then he drives the car really fast, but as he keeps seeing the memory of his ex-lover on the road, he jumps out of the car, and then he heads out running into the field. The duo is performing the song in the middle of a two-lane road at a night time setting.

    Chart positions

    "Speed" debuted at #57 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs for the week of December 28, 2002.

    Speed Up

    by: Catherine Corelli

    INTRO:
    Call it love…
    You’re alone if you try to follow…
    Call it hate…
    You’re alone if you try to…
    VER1:
    I’ll never declare you a deity,
    (even though I want it to be reality)
    I’ll never idolize you, cuz your flesh and blood.
    (even though I feel more than just sympathy)
    Sometimes I wanna follow someone to the edge of the
    earth
    (even though I know that I will never do that)
    Bring me to the brim; bring me to the verge,
    Take me to the brink, take me to the edge
    Till we’re out of line.
    VER2:
    Sometimes I wish I could be your goddess,
    (even though I’ll never ever lead you somewhere)
    Sometimes I feel like you can become my demon.
    (even though I’ll never follow you to nowhere)
    We push our lives forwatill da moment we die
    (you can walk beside me, but don’t step in my way)
    I’ll bring you to the brim; bring you to the verge,
    Take you to the brink, take you to the edge
    Till we’re out of line.
    BRIDGE:
    Catch up with me
    If you wanna speed up with me,
    Hold on with me,
    You got no time to hesitate
    I slow down with you
    If you want to become a part of me,
    And I stop with you
    If we speed up together.
    CHOR1:
    Call it love
    (or any other romantic stuff)
    Call it hate.
    (if you have nothing to tell me)
    Anyway
    (no matter what you pretend to be)
    You are alone if you try to follow.
    Walk beside
    (If you want to be with me)
    Or curse your fate
    (I won’t regret if you leave)
    Never stop
    (closing in equals death)
    You are alone if you try to conduct me.
    BRIDGE:
    Don’t give up
    no matter what you pretend to be
    Don’t give up
    no matter what you want to be
    Don’t give up
    no matter what you really are
    Don’t give up
    cuz I’ll turn my back on you.
    VER3:
    I know the way that it happens
    (Close up your illusions, I need reality)
    Second after second and day after day
    (even though you fill more than just sympathy)
    You’ll claim my freedom, but I’ll refuse
    (even though I’d feel like I would give it you).
    Somewhere on the brim; somewhere on the verge,
    Somewhere on the brink, somewhere on the edge
    When we’re out of line.
    VER4:
    Perhaps I could love you more than anyone else…
    (Second after second and day after day)
    Perhaps I could share some time with you…
    (Minute after minute and year after year)
    But I’ll never exchange my way for you
    (sure I do it if you try to steal me away)
    Somewhere on the brim; somewhere on the verge,
    Somewhere on the brink, somewhere on the edge
    When we’re out of line.
    BRIDGE:
    Catch up with me
    If you wanna speed up with me,
    Hold on with me,
    You got no time to hesitate
    I slow down with you
    If you want to become a part of me,
    And I stop with you
    If we speed up together.

    Never stop
    (closing in equals death)
    You are alone if you try to conduct me.
    JOINT:

    Don’t give up! Don’t! Don’t give up!
