LIBRARY.. Original Prints
Firstly, an 'original print' is not a contradiction. ORIGINAL PRINTS are from the original engraved, etched or lithographed plate.
Think of the print (most commonly an engraving or lithograph) as being the process; and the term "original" to indicate that it is an original in that it was made/taken/struck/pulled from the printing plate, whether a block of wood or stone, or a plate of metal. The original print may have been published hundreds of years ago; but it could also have been printed yesterday. The date mentioned in a description of a particular print indicates the actual date of printing. In the case of many groups of images, they would have been created over a period of years and the books, folios or atlases in which they were to be circulated could also have been published over a period of years. As the exact date is sometimes difficult of know 'circa' is used, followed by a year (as in circa 1777 or c1777). Just as 'antique' means that an item is over 100 years old, 'circa' means 'around' and indicates a span of 20 years.
There are two identical original prints (of the same image and date - taken from the same plate), there is always a slight, though often almost imperceptible difference between the works. Perhaps there is a variation in the depth of ink tone or in the definition of the engraving; or if hand-coloured, the depth or tone of colour will differ slightly, or perhaps the life of the print has caused varying discolouration of the paper. Sometimes the condition of the printing plate deteriorated during the period of printing. This depended on the quality of the material used for the plate as well as the number of prints made. The carving of images on woodblocks was discontinued for this reason. Copper was also a relatively soft metal used for plates. Each print's value is affected by its condition.
The earliest printing was found in China, dated to AD8, and used by Buddhist monks, but printmaking in Europe began late in the 13th century. Many antique prints are very rare, not only because of their age, but also when they were done for a grand publication or were from a short print run. Early printmaking made information and illustrations available, where previously knowledge would depend on individual access to an item. Each impression taken from the original plate is considered to be original artwork, yet the fact that there are a number of impressions taken from the one plate enables a far greater distribution and at a far lower price than for a one-off watercolour or painting. This ensures that original prints remain an attractive proposition for the art lover on modest means.
Engravers usually specialized in a particular subject or style for which they gained a reputation, and their prints became popular with collectors. Some engraved prints were used to enhance the name of a budding artist, or to increase the fame of artists whose reputation was already established for their watercolours or oil paintings. A well-known artist who was contracted to a gallery, would sometimes do engravings under a pseudonym, not only for artistic freedom, but also to supplement his income. The ability of many early women artists was not recognized. Women artists flourished because of the popularity of their engravings or lithographs. they were particularly prominent with illustrations of nature. John Gould's wife Elizabeth drew over 600 beautiful large lithographic plates of birds for her famous husband's grand publications (as well as give birth to their eight children).
Copperplate engraving was the main method of producing illustrations in the eighteenth century which was the pinnacle of fine antique print production. By the end of the eighteenth century the finest illustrations were mainly contained within expensive books that only the wealthy could afford. Grand colour plate books became popular during the early part of the nineteenth century, and by the middle of the century, the range of beautifully illustrated subjects was limitless. From the voyages of discovery, classical discoveries of earlier times, the development of architecture, topographical views, battles from around the world, the discovery of new specimens of flora and fauna, sporting pursuits, pastimes, fashions and formal portraits, … every imaginable subject was covered.
Demand for entertainment and knowledge was catered for as less expensive paper and printing techniques were developed. The nineteenth century saw the return of the woodcut and wood engraving that were much less expensive, but also less durable processes, to illustrate periodicals for wider and more frequent circulation. Over the years, the variations of style with the different printing processes in portraying one individual subject, provide a fascinating study.
The variety of subject and style of antique prints is enormous, offering wide possibilities for an absorbing interest – and perhaps a fine collection? This pleasure spreads to others when you hang them on the wall and share your enthusiasm. Antique prints and maps look good in either traditional or modern décor - in the workplace or the home. If we are lucky enough to find an image we love, we can always find a place on the wall, to give pleasure for years! Ongoing fascination can lie not only in the early method of producing the artwork, but also in the sometimes questionable or humorous artistic(?) interpretation of the subject involved - as in an engraving of an unfamiliar newly-discovered animal, a map of an inaccurate newly-charted coastline that has since been proved wrong, or even fashionable clothes or caricatures with social comment.
Interest in a subject matter does not always guarantee a happy collector however. The most desirable result comes with the ability to purchase from a reputable dealer who is able to widen the knowledge and appreciation of the buyer by providing relevant information about the selection, and offering a variety of suggestions for consideration. Whilst a familiarity with the specialized field of antique maps and prints is not a pre-purchase requirement, appreciation and enjoyment is usually enhanced by some knowledge of the source of any image, and an understanding of the method of production. [See Printmaking Methods in this Library.] Antique prints will always retain their appeal in future centuries – as they steadily become rarer.
Rarity of antique prints
Prints are often the best-known works by some of the world's greatest artists - as is the case with Albrecht Durer. When it is not possible to find, or be able to afford, the first edition of an artist's work (e.g. Albrecht Durer or William Hogarth), their work has such appeal and ongoing relevance that there are antique prints that were published over hundreds of years since – which makes them available at a much lower cost with the same beauty and inimitable social comment. Today, the earliest prints that are likely to be available are from 17th century or later. The earliest ones were printed on hand-made paper which was an expensive commodity. From 17th century nature studies were usually hand-coloured with natural ochres made from minerals and vegetables. These early colours, and the gouache colour of classical engravings, endure much better than modern printing inks.
Over the centuries the methods of printmaking have changed because of demands for greater print runs to circulate to a larger population, and because of the expensiveness of skillful engravers and the length of time taken to do the work. This is why early antique prints will always be appreciated. Camera images now replicate in a brief second. Lacking the personal painstaking skill required in previous centuries, they do not offer so much interest.
Appraisal of antique prints and antique maps
The value of an antique print or map is established by many factors. The most important factors are rarity, quality and condition. The better quality and more easily recognized items are more in demand, particularly if the engraver or lithographer, or artist or mapmaker is well-known or highly regarded. On the other hand demand for a particular print or map will vary depending on subject matter popularity in a particular location, so this can also be a factor in the price. Of most importance in your selection should be the appeal a particular item has for you.
The earlier prints produced from any plate often have greater clarity of detail, as the surface has not deteriorated through the pressure of printing and the ink is taken up better in the engraved or etched grooves of the plate. While this could affect value to a certain extent, if an antique map or print is extremely rare and an important subject it would probably not affect the price too much. Inevitably, the better quality and more relevant, easily recognized items will be more in demand, which will also affect their value.
Ideally antique maps and prints should be in good condition and free of 'foxing' (the small yellowish-brown marks from dust or other foreign bodies), and other imperfections. Because of the fragility of paper this is not always possible; and in some parts of the world evidence of age is actually revered.
With regards colour of antique prints and maps, purists prefer contemporary colour (that is from the time of publication). Once a map or print is framed it is not always easy to discern when colour was done, and well-rendered later hand-colour is often preferred for more decorative artwork to hang on the wall. I love antique prints that leave sections uncoloured so that the engraving can be seen (particularly in the case of flora and fauna). The addition of suitable colour, complimentary to the style of a map or print, more often adds to its value – as has been proven at auction many times.
You should go with your individual preference and requirements. The most important thing is that you enjoy your artwork. And let's face it, if you buy what you like, it's unlikely you will want to sell it – unless you decide to exchange it for others you like better. It is not common that an investment can be enjoyed as much as antique artwork – especially if it is on display, framed with conservation materials to preserve it well.
Conservation, Preservation, and Restoration
The most important thing to remember in preserving artwork in its optimum state, is to use only conservation materials when framing or handling. When storing rare and fragile loose-leaf items such as antique maps and prints, it is wise to seal them in an acid-free conservation product, to protect from contamination of fungi from the damp, or foreign chemicals or insects penetrating the fibres of the paper. Foxing is a particular problem in tropical climates, where the warm, humid climate can lead to rapid deterioration of paper artwork if it is not protected. Conservation envelopes and 'acid-free' tissue and boxes are available. Ask your specialist stationer… or consult Dr Google.
Artwork should always be framed with conservation materials. They are a little more expensive, but should be available from any professional picture framer. Ensure your artwork remains properly sealed against changes in humidity (as in a bathroom) and to protect from invasive insects. At the very least, the corners of a frame's moulding should be closely joined and the back of the frame sealed along its edges with an acid-free tape. Most importantly, the mount-board or passepartout that touches the actual print or map, should be 'acid-free' (i.e. not made from wood pulp), and the paper of the artwork should not be touching the glass. Now that conservation glass is widely available, you are able to prevent paper deterioration or colour fading, and maintain the condition of your artwork as it is when acquired. Museum glass is currently of the highest standard.
If manually handling prints it is always wise to wash hands with soap first. Unfortunately, hands continuously exude oil and pick up dust, and consequently stain paper – particularly the more absorbent papers. The result may not show for many years, but can annoy long after the mishandling. Cotton gloves are worn when handling archival material in museums, and should be used when handling your precious prints. Smudging of printing ink or colour can also damage a print.
Prints should be handled carefully by the edges. Paper is a fragile commodity and may be brittle, particularly along the edges, and particularly when old. Beware of slight extremity tears which are more vulnerable to damage. Do not bend or dint the prints, as this also can leave a permanent mark. Any damage will affect the ultimate value of a map or print.
Many early works have been restored over the years. Repairs to paper tears when done correctly are virtually undetectable. When a repair is poorly done, perhaps with non-conservation materials, it not only looks bad, the 'restoration' itself can cause further damage. Any damage and/or subsequent repair will, of course, affect the value; but obviously if a repair can preserve a work and prevent further deterioration it should be done. Specialist conservators are available in most capital cities around the world. If in doubt, approach your local antique print dealer, museum or art gallery for advice or reference.
If in doubt, or if you would like further information, take your artwork to your local antique print dealer, museum or art gallery for advice or reference. If this is impracticable, let your fingers do the walking and telephone or email. Antique prints can cost as little as $30 or many thousands of dollars. Either can be equally precious to the owner. The most important thing is to enjoy them!

How a Military Naturalization Record Could Affect Your Research
Used with permission from Ancestry.-com from their Ancestry Magazine of
November, 2005 by Brian Peterson
Fighting to Become American
Military naturalizations contain most of the same information as a standard neutralization, including the:
alien's name, address,
occupation, age, physical
description, race, place and date of birth, spouse's name,
marriage date, last foreign
residence, children's names and places of birth, and even some
times a photograph.
There are, however, a few aspects of military naturalizations that family historians should keep in mind: . . .
Immigrants may have changed their names or the spelling of their names, for a number of reasons.
Prior to 1906, military naturalizations will be filed with a local court or jurisdiction where the naturalization took place. After that date, the naturalization process was standardized and a copy of all records are maintained by the USCIS (formerly the INS).
When a military naturalization took place, the records were to be sent to the court that had jurisdiction over the alien's permanent residence. This left a predicament for individuals who joined the military before establishing a U.S. residence. In these situations, the the only copy of the naturalization is the one kept by the USCIS.
During World War 1, busloads of soldiers would make the trek to the local courthouse to file for naturalization. These courts should still house the records associated with these naturalizations today.
Military naturalizations originated in 1862 when the U.S. government, in an effort to entice aliens to enlist in the Union Army during the Civil War, passed legislation waiving the need for aliens serving in the army to file a declaration of intention, thereby greatly reducing the amount of time required for an immigrant to become naturalized. To qualify for a military naturalization, the immigrant merely had to be a t least twenty-one years old, honorably discharged from U.S. military service, and prove at least one year of residency in the United States. Once these conditions were met, the immigrant could file a petition for naturalization.
Patriotism, fortunately, was at a high when America entered World War 1. Recognizing the value of this patriotism, the U.S. government passed the Act of 0 May 1918 to encourage U.S. servicemen and women who weren't American citizens to become naturalized. At the time, alien soldiers who wanted American citizenship were already exempt from filing a declaration of intent, but, as a result of this act, they were also cleared from filing a certificate of arrival or a proof of residence. To expedite the process further, soldiers were naturalized at military posts where they were stationed rather than waiting until they returned to their legal residences.
During World War 11, another modification to the naturalization procedure for people serving in the U.S. military was made. The Second War Powers Ace of 27 March 1942, dramatically sped up the process of naturalization for those aliens who were serving in the U.S. military, both within the United States, as well as overseas. Additional modification happened again in 1953, 1954, 1955, and 1968.

Áed Find (Áed the White), or Áed mac Echdach (before 736–778), was king of Dál Riata (modern western Scotland and County Antrim, Ireland). Áed was the son of Eochaid mac Echdach, a descendant of Domnall Brecc in the main line of Cenél nGabráin kings.

According to later genealogies, Áed was the great-grandfather of Kenneth MacAlpin (Cináed mac Ailpín) who is traditionally counted as the first king of Scots. This descent ran through Áed's son Eochaid mac Áeda Find and Eochaid's son Alpín mac Echdach. The evidence for the existence of Eochaid and Alpín is uncompelling.

The Annals of Ulster in 768 report "Bellum i Fortrinn iter Aedh & Cinaedh": a battle in Fortriu between Áed and Cináed. This is usually read as meaning Áed Find and the Pictish king Ciniod I, who is called "Cinadhon" in the notice of his death in 775.

Áed's death in 778 is noted by the Annals of Ulster. He appears to have been followed as king by his brother Fergus mac Echdach.

The "Laws of Áed Eochaid's son" are mentioned by the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba in the reign of Áed's supposed great-grandson Donald MacAlpin (Domnall mac Ailpín): "In his time the Gaels with their king made the rights and laws of the kingdom [that are called the laws] of Áed Eochaid's son, in Forteviot." What these laws concerned is not known.

In fiction
Áed Find is playable in Crusader Kings II (under the regnal name Áed III) in the Charlemagne DLC's 769 AD start date, and is treated as an independent duke. His son Eochaid and brother Fergus also exist in his court. Without player intervention his realm is usually quickly conquered by neighboring Pictland.

Q: Cygwin's rm async? I created a shell script running under Cygwin who copies around 1000 files to a directory, then processes them and delete all the files, to start the cycle again.
I noted the files are not deleted after "rm directory/*", but if I execute the same command from command line (outside my script) it does work as expected.
Can the problem be that rm is returning control to the script before it ends its execution?. How can I be sure all the files are removed before starting the process again?.

A: Forget about this. The problem was rm can't handle a large list of files, the solution was using a for loop:
for f in *.c; do rm $f; done

Alorcus was a Spaniard who flourished around the 3rd century BC and who served in Hannibal's army, known only from a mention in Livy, followed by other Roman sources.  He was a friend of the Saguntines, and went into Saguntum, when the city was reduced to the last extremity, to endeavor to persuade the inhabitants to accept Hannibal's terms.

I wandered into a colleague's classroom today just as they were brainstorming some possible topics for writing in their writer's notebooks. As I found an empty seat, Mrs. K asked her students to open up to a fresh page in their notebooks and do some quick writing about one of the topics they had just brainstormed.
Sometimes when I am in a classroom and students are writing, I move around the room conferring with them–asking them how it's going, offering them the opportunity to engage in what Donald Graves called "oral rehearsal," or simply observing their process. Today, however, as I watched each and every student thoughtfully begin to compose in his or her notebook, I decided that the best thing for me to do at that moment, the right thing for me to do, was…well, to write with them.
I had been floating a few ideas of my own around in my head for a couple of weeks. One of those ideas in particular, though, had been as persistent as a little bee during the past several days, buzzing to and fro, this way and that, moving further into my vision before playfully darting away again. Just last evening, I had lain awake during the dead hours between 1:00 and 3:30 am, my mind swirling around all of the things I had on my unwritten to-do list before returning, once again, to that same topic. By the time I stepped into Mrs. K's room, it had percolated enough that I knew it was time to put pen to paper–and here was my golden opportunity (in the middle of a work day, no less!).
I wrote about being a parent, and how, although every parent loves her children in equal measure, those of us who have been gifted with more than one child knows the feeling of having a "heartache kid." There's the child (or children) you have who glide through life, occasionally experiencing small bumps in the road, who make everything look easy–unless we're talking about getting their chores done in a timely manner. These children tend to come into this world just as they move through it: with a quiet grace, a gentle touch, and little (if any) fanfare. They are your saving Grace(s), the one(s) with whom you have an inside joke, with whom you can oftentimes communicate using a single, familiar look.
This child begins her life not with a spark, but with a giant bang. She does not glide, but instead tumbles through life–breaking bones, spilling milk, and shattering cereal bowls. She can light up a room just as spectacularly and as suddenly as she can darken it. She is the child who keeps you up at night with worry, whose phantom cry you hear even when she is miles away at sleepaway camp, whose trials and tribulations twist tiny segments of your gut and your heart into hard little knobs.
And, as I, and the students, and their teacher wrote, I looked around the classroom and searched for who I thought were their parents' Heartache Kids. I wondered which of these children were the frequent milk-spillers and the habitual bone-breakers; which caused their parents' eyes to well up with tears at the start of each school year, knowing that the tether they hold onto so fervently over the summer months would have to be loosened once more–enough so that their child can still soar without becoming hopelessly lost in the clouds.
These are the students whose parents might email too frequently, who might be too eager to corner the teacher during Open House. Or they might be the students whose families are so anxious about their chlld's social and emotional selves that they can barely bring themselves to make eye contact–or even to show up at all.
And instead of sighing with exasperation, or rolling my eyes at how these families' heartache manifests itself–despite their best intentions– I thought about how it manifested itself in my own life, and how desperately I wanted my child's teachers to understand. And empathize.
After Mrs. K. directed us to find a good stopping point for our writing, she asked us to reflect on what we had just composed. "Who feels as though they've written something they might want to continue working on?" she asked us.
A slew of hands shot up–some small, some grimy–all seeming to twitch with excitement at this composing work that Mrs. K had just made possible.
And with them, my own.

Success story: BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in the US becomes largest production location within 25 years
BMW i Ventures Announces Strategic Investment in Xometry.
Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – June 27, 2017… Two of North America's most challenging race tracks will face BMW Team RLL on back-to-back weekends as the second half of the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech Championship begins. With both events providing bookends to the July 4th holiday – the Sahlen's Six Hours of the Glen, on July 2nd, at Watkins Glen International and the Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix, on July 9th, at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park – BMW Team RLL has liveried both BMW M6 GTLM racing cars in a special holiday fireworks theme.
BMW Team RLL has used the traditional Le Mans break in the schedule to continue testing and continue the improvement the team has made with the M6 GTLM. A pole and a double podium finish in the last round at the Circuit of the Americas was a season's-best result.
Last season, BMW Team RLL scored a third place finish at Watkins Glen with the No. 26 M6 driven by Bill Auberlen and Dirk Werner. The duo followed that result with a team-best fourth place finish at CTMP. With four races completed in the 2017 IMSA season, Auberlen and Alexander Sims stand fourth in GTLM driver points. Teammates John Edwards and Martin Tomczyk are ninth. BMW stands fourth in GTLM Manufacturer points, only 4 points from third.
"As we saw at COTA, this car seems to like long, fast circuits with fast corners and certainly Watkins Glen is all that", said Bobby Rahal, Team Principal. "I'm optimistic about our pace and not just in qualifying, also the race. I like six hour races. I think all of the races should be six hours at least. I think that is a great distance. Depending on the track, that's around 600 miles, maybe a little bit more. And particularly Watkins Glen is historic for six hour races so I'm excited about going there. After Austin we have to feel optimistic about where we are, performance wise. It's just a matter of not making mistakes. I think we can be right in the thick of it.
He continued with a comment on the next race at CTMP, "We have always had reasonably good results in qualifying but in the races have somewhat fallen off a bit but I don't think that is going to be as much of an issue this year given our performance. Like at COTA and Watkins Glen, the car likes fast corners and I think there are only two — at most — slow corners on the whole track. I think the nature of the track is in our wheel house and assuming things remain the same we should be competitive. Elkhart Lake is coming up too and these are tracks that probably now fit the BMW M6 very well so we are optimistic."
Bill Auberlen, driver No. 25 BMW M6 GTLM: "We did a fair amount of testing before COTA and had a positive BoP change. When the green flag dropped we were looking much better. We finished P2 and I'm hoping we are starting our roll for the bid to win the championship. Heading to Watkins glen, Mosport (CTMP), and Road America hopefully benefit the BMW M6 GTLM. We are very close in the championship points so all we need to do now is stand on the podium consistently."
Alexander Sims, driver No. 25 BMW M6 GTLM: "This year is getting better and better for us in the 25 car so I am really looking forward to going to a Watkins Glen and then Mosport. Watkins Glen should suit the BMW and the test we did a month or so ago went well, what a place it is to drive! Mosport will be new for me so I will just keep an open view and see how the weekend goes to do the very best job I can."
John Edwards, driver No. 24 BMW M6 GTLM: "It's been a long break from racing in GTLM so we are all eager to get back to business! Last year we had good speed at Watkins Glen and Mosport as these high speed tracks really focus on the strong points of our M6. This year, we've been far more competitive at tracks where we had struggled with the car last year, including a double podium at our last race at COTA. I am confident we can carry that momentum into the back-to-back weekends at two of the fastest tracks we race."
Martin Tomczyk, driver No. 24 BMW M6 GTLM: "So far Watkins Glen is one of my favorite race tracks in the States. We went testing and it felt very promising for the upcoming race. The track layout fits our M6 nicely. You never know what will happen in the race, but we should be competitive. I've never been to Mosport (CTMP) and I will have to adapt quickly. With just one week in between the races it will be tough for the team and drivers."
The Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen takes the green flag at 10:10 a.m. ET Sunday, July 2. FOX Sports 1 will broadcast the race live beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET. The Mobil 1 SportsCar Grand Prix starts at 12:10 p.m. ET Sunday, July9 with live coverage on FOX Sports 1 beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET. Follow BMW Team RLL on Twitter at @BMWUSARacing for "from-the-pit-box" updates all weekend.

A: since the error is likely to be thrown out of too long a string, then you can turn your validation formula to reference the list range and get rid of mylist1 array:
Dim nElements As Long

nElements = 26

    .Delete

Hello gorgeous! Get ready with a lot of posts upcoming these weeks, since I'm gonna share a lot from my BSkeJogja trip! This is one of it, where the community got to held the gala dinner at Secret Garden. Let's see the fun!
Have you read my previous post about BS 1st Anniversary Gathering at Yogyakarta? If you already read the post then you should've known how fun it was and that we had dinner at secret garden. It was only a little part of the gala dinner I shared there, now I wanna share more details about the restaurant. Well, of course with a lil bit story of the event.
As I arrived first than the others (because I stayed with mommy) when I was arrived the resto was not that crowded, and I love it! The waitress was really friendly and kind, showed me where I should go to my table. And what made me skip a beat was the place and decoration, yes! It was comfy yet gorgeous at the same time. I always love nature and outdoor dinner places, since hotels and indoor sometimes bore me. So here we are, secret garden!
The gate was decorated in white, when our table where we had event was decorated in black and gold. What I get from this point : they're good in table settings and decorations. Seriously, they have a skill. One of my friend said that people often held events like birthdays or wedding there. No wonder, they have a good skill and taste in decoration. Oh FYI, the restaurant staff did the decoration themselves, without any vendor. So yeah, this needs to be appreciated!
After my friends came, we got to take an OOTD shots with our photographers from Ari Putra Production, which also documented everything through the first and second day of gathering.
Okay, back to the restaurant talk, then the staff gave us a menu paper (with some choices of food and drinks) then we continue with chit chat and mini challenge event. It took some time for them to prepare the food (maybe because there's a lot of us) and another more time to deliver the food (who has this food and so on) since writing our names didn't do much. Anyway it's not a big deal since from my experience, when we come in medium or large group it happens (in Jakarta also) so I'm fine with this. For you who don't like taking time for these stuff, choosing whose food and so on, maybe you'd like to come alone or in small group to prevent such thing to happen.
Oh right, I have something to say about the facility, since I was the host/MC of the gala dinner (with kak Alifah), we felt something kind of confusing. The restaurant have a live music concert (which I enjoyed the most, the singer voice was great while their choice of music was also good). But since we need a microphone, we had to share the microphone with them. So when we were doing our job as MC, they can't play live music and sing. Vice versa, while they're doing their job as live music then we can't use the microphone. Maybe, they just need to add some more microphones for this kind of events (or the MC should bring their own microphones?).
Overall, I enjoyed the time when we had our gala dinner (and being part of the host too!) It was fun, the place was great (OK I need to stop saying the great place but it is great! Greens everywhere, grass and trees, I love the place), and as well delicious food too. Oh and don't worry about the price, it only cost around 60 per person (incl. drinks) which I can say super affordable and worth to try! (compared to places like this in Jakarta).
See you on my next posts!

Eisai with UK DRI launches new Post-Doctoral programme
Researchers will benefit from both the UK DRI's state-of-the-art research facilities and Eisai's drug discovery and translational expertise
Eisai Co., Ltd. and the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) announced the launch of a joint post-doctoral programme to support the advancement of novel dementia research. This first-of-its-kind industry collaboration for the UK DRI aims to deliver innovative research that may translate into improvements in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of all types of dementia.
There are an estimated approximately 50 million dementia patients worldwide. As the ageing of the global population gathers pace, the number of dementia patients worldwide is expected to follow this trend, with the total number of people with dementia projected to reach 82 million in 2030 and 152 million in 2050.
To combat this global issue the UK DRI draws together world-leading expertise into a single national institute that conducts research into all aspects of dementia including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, and Huntington's disease. Under this joint programme, a grant will be provided to post-doctoral researchers engaged in dementia research from 2019 to 2023.
Researchers will benefit from both the UK DRI's state-of-the-art research facilities and Eisai's drug discovery and translational expertise, and will support the work of the organisation in striving to elucidate novel drug discovery targets and mechanisms, develop novel dementia models, and accelerate the linkage of these research results to diagnostics, treatment and care.

Q: File sharing with a specific user in database in SQL Server I have created a login in SQL Server. The login has only read-only permissions. Database role membership for this user are db_backupoperator, db_datareader, db_denydatawriter and public. I gave him permissions to make backups, but when I try to access folder directory of the system it shows an error like in the picture below.
How can I share a specific folder to this Login in order to save backups to this folder?
Here is the error:

A: *

*The user logs in to the SQL Server instance via a SQL Server logon, and asks for a backup to be made.

*The SQL Server process, running under whatever Windows Identity it
is (LOCAL SYSTEM on my dev machine) makes the backup.

*The user who asked for the backup in step 1 uses Windows Explorer to
check the backup folder. Note that Windows Explorer is using his
Windows Identity (NOT his SQL Logon) to check whether or not he has
access to that folder

*Windows Explorer decides that this Windows user does not have access and
displays the message you show above.

To change the outcome, you need to give the Windows Logon that the user is using access to the backup folder. To do this, log on as an Admin, right click on the folder in explorer and select the Security tab. Add the Windows Logon that the backup person uses and give read access to the folder.

Iron Condors have gained a lot of popularity among professional money managers and retail investors. It is a market neutral strategy that allows you to profit when the underlying price moves sideways. Iron Condors usually have a limited risk and a high probability of success.
All options expire at the same month. The distance is usually the same between the short and the long legs of the calls and the puts.
The Iron Condor option strategy is a theta positive gamma negative and vega negative strategy. That means that it benefit from time decay, but suffers if the underlying moves too much and/or Implied Volatility increases.
One approach that can maximize credit received and the profit range of the iron condor, is to leg into the position. "Legging in" refers to creating the put spread and the call spread at times that when market makers are inflating the prices of either the sold call or put. However, most experts agree that this approach hardly justifies the risk.
How far in time to go (expiration).
How far OTM to go (strikes).
The time can vary between one week and three months. Those are the extremes, most people go for 3-10 weeks.
Going with close expiration will give you larger theta per day. So you might earn 5% in one week or 10% in month or 15% in two months. Obviously 5% every week is better than 10% every month. But there is a catch. Less time to expiration equals larger negative gamma. That means that a sharp move of the underlying will cause much larger loss.
If the underlying doesn't move, then theta will kick off and you will just earn make money with every passing day. But if it does move, the loss will become very large very quickly. Another disadvantage of close expiration is that in order to get decent credit, you will have to choose strikes much closer to the underlying.
Based on my experience and personal preference, I like to open the IC trade 6-8 weeks before expiration. It works for me, it doesn't necessarily mean it will work the best for you. In any case, the absolute minimum time that I would recommend is 3-4 weeks.
Another advantage of going further out in time and getting decent credit is the fact that you can close the trade early and remove the risk. I never hold till expiration, trying to close around 10-14 days before expiration. When only 20-25 cents is left, it's not worth the risk to continue holding. You kept most of the credit, leave the last few cents to someone else.
This brings us to the choice of strikes. The delta of the options gives you an approximate estimate of the probability to expire ITM. If you open IC with short calls and puts having delta of 15, that means that the trade has probability of ~70% to end between the strikes. There is always a trade-off between risk/reward and probability of success. The better the risk/reward, the lower probability of success.
I usually manage the put and the call credit spreads separably. I will place a GTC order to close the spreads at 0.25 debit each, which is around 20-25% of the credit received. The last 25 cents are not worth the risk.
As a rule of thumb, you should aim to limit the losses to 1.5 times the average monthly earnings. For example, if your average monthly return is 10%, you should aim to lose no more than 15% in losing months. There is no point to make 8-10% for few months and lose 50% in one month.
"I would have had a great year if it wasn't for one or two months". If you trade condors without a detailed risk management plan you will eventually experience large losses.
If the market makes a move up after trade launch you will start to lose money immediately even with declining implied volatility typically helping your short Vega position.
Markets tend to rise over time, so most of the cycles you are fighting the Iron Condor on up moves.
"Rolling" adjustments isn't really an immediate risk reducing technique if the market continues to fall and implied volatility continues to rise.
As you move from the center of an Iron Condor, gamma kicks in and makes the T+0 curve "bend" and change relatively quickly so you tend to adjust fairly soon.
How to address those issues?
To address the issues with "traditional" iron condors, we developed a very unique version of the iron condor strategy. We call it Steady Condors. Steady Condors is a market neutral, income generating, manage by the Greeks strategy.
For downside protection, we use long puts and debit spreads at trade setup and as adjustments instead of rolling our threatened options. This helps reduce the Vega and Gamma so as price moves down and volatility moves up.
To flatten the T+0 curve on the up side, we sell fewer call credit spreads. We normally only use enough call credit spreads to balance our setup. This limits upside risk from the beginning of the trade and it's easy to manage.
If the market is moving up, we take the calls off at predefined adjustment points.It doesn't hurt the profit potential too much and also eliminates the upside risk.
We would typically open the trades 6-8 weeks before expiration and close them 2-3 weeks before expiration, in order to reduce the negative gamma risk.
Those steps help to keep the drawdowns reasonable relative to realized and expected returns.
You can see the relatively flat T+0 line and limited upside risk.
To get an idea how this Iron Condor option strategy would perform in a down market, we presented a case study from August 2011 cycle. The trade began on July 6, 2011 with RUT at 844. On Aug 4 with RUT at 752 the trade was taken off for target profit of 5%. Frankly I'm not familiar with another variation of Iron Condor that can actually make a gain after the index declines by 11%+.
Steady Condors is a strategy that maximizes returns in a sideways market and can therefore add diversification to more traditional portfolios. Selling options and iron condors can add value to your portfolio. The strategy produced 46.7% non compounded return in 2015 (56.5% compounded return) and 17.8% CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) since inception, with 14.6% annual volatility, resulting 1.27 Sharpe Ratio. Our reported results are net of commissions and are on the entire account.
Does it mean you should stop trading "traditional" iron condors? Not at all. They should still work well - as long as you implement prudent risk management. Steady Condors just provides you a viable alternative and addresses some of the issues traders face when trading this strategy.
Of course the most important thing in those high probability strategies is risk management. How do you keep losses under control? Iron condors can be brutal when underlying makes a sharp move.
The trick is not to allow your losers to be much bigger than your winners.
For example, if your iron condor typical winning month is around 7%, you cannot lose more than 10% in your losing months. This way even if you have 2-3 losing months every year, your overall expectancy is still positive.
But if you lose 20-30% when the market goes against you, you will erase months of gains.
You can see that our Steady Condors strategy rarely lost more than 8-10% a month. This is the key to our success - keeping losers small.
I believe Dan Harvey developed this strategy originally as the "Weirdor" not SO.
Correct. But this version is different. Jay Bailey also traded some version of Weirdor, and Amy Meissner also took the original Weirdor and modified it.
We aim for 7% gains, so our stop loss is 10%.
If you open IC with short calls and puts having delta of 15, that means that the trade has probability of ~70% to end between the strikes.
I have always thought that a delta of 15 for a short put, for example, means that the short put has a probability of ~85% of being OTM at expiration.
But in the phrase above you don't speak of a single option, you say the trade, the whole IC, has probability of ~70% to end between the strikes (ITM for the short options); why not ~85%?
When you have a probability of two mutually exclusive events occuring, the probability that one of the two will occur is the sum of the probability of each event. So, 15% chance the short call is ITM + 15% chance the short put is ITM = 30% chance that either short call or short put is ITM, therefore 100% - 30% = 70% chance that stock trades between the short strikes.

Q: How to create a while loop for Http get request to keep repeating the process till some value is true? in Kotlin I want to make an Http get request. I have an API that returns JSON as the response. This json has a key can_load, whose value is true if there are more items to be loaded and it requires page number to keep loading a set of items. The first time I give the page number as 1 and then I want the page no. to keep incrementing by 1 till the time the can_load value is true. I have tried creating a func. body in which the whole process happens and then a while loop which calls the fun after incrementing the pageNum but I am not getting any result. without the fun and while loop I get the first set of items in pageNum 1.
I want to increment the pageNum to 2 and so on till the value is true. Oncw boolean vaalue is false it should stop.
   var canload: Boolean

    var pageNum = 1

    fun loadItems() {

    if(status == "1") {

        Log.v("statusUserId", userId!!)

                            val itemscreenresult = gson4.fromJson<Json4>(json4, genericType<Json4>())

                            jsonInfo6.addAll(itemscreenresult.result.data)

                                loadItems()
                            }

                    }

                }

                    Log.v("Test", error?.message ?: "")

Q: eventlistener can't access variable outside function the read element was appended to another div container element by the submit eventlistener. but I can't access the read element when trying to attach it to another event listener outside the function. Any idea how to fix this?
function add() {
    read = document.createElement('div');
    read.textContent = 'Read';
    read.classList.add('read');
    card.appendChild(read);
}

submit.addEventListener('click', add);
read.addEventListener("click", () => {
        read.classList.toggle('unread');
    });

A: You code is not really correct.
I would suggest:
let read = null;
function add() {
   if (read) return;

    read = document.createElement('div');
    read.textContent = 'Read';
    read.classList.add('read');
    card.appendChild(read);

    read.addEventListener("click", () => {
        read.classList.toggle('unread');
    });
}

submit.addEventListener('click', add);

Although without a context on what you are trying to achieve it's going to be difficult.
BTW: no, variables that are declared inside a function are scoped, you cant access them from outside

A: The read element's eventListener isn't activated, because first if you click on the submit element the read element is an element.
Solution:
function add() {
    read = document.createElement('div');
    read.textContent = 'Read';
    read.classList.add('read');
    card.appendChild(read);
    read.addEventListener("click", () => {
        read.classList.toggle('unread');
    });
}

submit.addEventListener('click', add);
