Another mega-powerful time saving feature of platon is the ability to
act as a user-friendly interface for the Cambridge Database Quest program to
search on related organic and organometallic phases. Which thus offers the
ability to easily determine if the structure has already been solved via
giving it the cell, or "your" solved structure.
In the following case, we will give Platon the cell information of an organic phase to see if the structure may have already been solved. If you are already running platon on a UNIX computer where the CSD and Quest already been installed, this is extremely trivial. Note: If searching on a cell obtained from Powder diffraction data, and you do not get any hits. It is advisable to edit the *.QUE file and change the tolerance from 0.01 to 0.05; then manually run Quest. This is described in more detail at the bottom of this tutorial. Here we will deal with the case where the user is on a Windows PC, and the CSD database is on a remote UNIX machine where Platon has been compiled. (it is possible to generate the Quest query on Platon for Windows and ftp it over to run manually in quest - using a command line similar to quest -j structure_name < structure_name.que) NOTE: With quest, make sure it is not automatically going into Xterm/Menu mode or the following will not work. By default, Quest should not go into Xterm/Menu mode but the administrator may have set it up like this to save on a few keystrokes. If you have not done already, information on settup up for Secure FTP and Secure X sessions from a Windows machine, refer:
If a UK based academic or student, you can obtain free and easy access to the Cambridge and other structure databases via the EPSRC funded CDS - Chemical Database Service (free registration is done On-line) |
The following example is from the sdemo.ins example given with
Platon in System S mode to demonstrate the NQA (no questions asked) mode
of System S.
Following is the cell information we have on the sample in Shelx INS format which Platon/System S users. The chemical, spacegroup and other information is superfluous in the case of this search.
FTP the starting INS file to the remote machine. In this case the Chemical Database Service server (freely available after registration for any UK based academic or student) at cds.dl.ac.uk. (you will need your CDS username and password handy to do this) |
Run teraterm and login to the UNIX computer containing the Cambridge database
(in this case cds.dl.ac.uk).
Run your Windows X-server (in this case the MI/XServer for Windows) In the teraterm shell, go to the directory where the Shelx INS file with the starting information is, then type platon filename.ins. This will spawn the following window in your windows X-server. (The relevant parts of the menu for searching via Quest are circled) To redraw a screen if you swapped into a Window program, just use CONTROL L. |
Under the MISC-TOOLS option, select CSD-CELL and Platon will
generate the Quest file then try and spawn Quest if this is available locally.
If you swap into the Teraterm screen, you can see Quest running and it has found
a hit!
Platon will now display the structures that were found graphically. in the present July 15th 2000 version
of Platon, use the bottom right PREV and NEXT menu option to scroll through the found structures.
If platon tells you it got hits (on the bottom left of the screen) but does not give display a structure, but gives the following output at the bottom right of the screen. It could be there is a nuance with Platon and the Windows X-server in being able to spawn extra screens. Look manually in the Quest files, and these will tell you want structures it found. Even if things go well, you can of course view manually the jnl journal file. (Note: If searching on a cell obtained from Powder diffraction data, and you do not get any hits: It is advisable to increase the tolerance. There are one of two ways of doing this:
You can do the following manually in Quest by copying the QUE file
generated by Platon to a machine with Quest on it and run quest and import the file.
quest -j structure_name < structure_name.que QUEST Query file

The France team, led by the same coach for ten years, faces the United States, Wednesday at 13 hours, in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in China.
Subscribers article
Sacred journey for a wedding of tin. At the head of the French basketball team since 2009, Vincent Collet renewed his honeymoon with the Blues crossing China from north to south on Tuesday. That is 1,500 km to connect Nankin to Dongguan, where the Blues face, Wednesday, September 11 (1 pm, French time), which is the best on the planet basketball, the United States, in the quarterfinals of the Cup of the world. An appointment that, if he would have preferred to avoid it, the French coach intends to prepare meticulously.
Landed on tiptoe at the head of the Blues in 2009, Vincent Collet knew everything with the team of France. The highs – a European crown in 2013 and three other international medals – like the low – elimination of Euro 2017 from the knockout stages.
For the now French coach with the longest term in history, Wednesday's meeting evokes the scenario of the last World Cup, at the same stage of the competition. Not favorites for a penny in the arena boiling a large Spain home, the Blues, deprived of Tony Parker and Nando De Colo, had achieved one of the greatest achievements of French basketball, before winning the bronze. Vincent Collet, who confesses to keep his "Best memory in blue", was there for many.
"We can create a surprise. This match is your match. And what I can say, it's not worth much if you're not convinced. So, what do we decide? Do we win this match, or do we just do figuration? " The "Interior Sport" cameras captured, in 2014, the speech of a coach on mission: to persuade his group that he could do it. "Nobody believed in us", remember this hard work perfectionist, who finds in this team, "Younger, more malleable", fertile ground where to implant his ideas. A bit like this year.
"Experience and maturity"
Because Vincent Collet is a trainer. As evidenced by Nicolas Batum, whom he launched in Pro A (the French championship) at 16 years old at Le Mans, wearing a nickname – "Bambi" – and a great confidence in his potential. "Vincent has always been committed, both in the club and the French team, to succeed in a clever mix between advancing the players we launch and optimize those a little older", relates his deputy in Blue, Ruddy Nelhomme.

'Screaming buy': Frazis bullish on US growth software
Growth-focused fund manager Michael Frazis has told investors evidence that US inflation peaked near the end of 2022 means technology and software businesses can reclaim their mantle as the market's top performers.
After a horror year, crowned by the Frazis Capital Fund dropping 13 per cent in December, the strategy jumped 22 per cent over the first 30 trading days of January.
"To be fair, we've said this before, but that doesn't make it any less true today: US growth software is a screaming long-term buy," Mr Frazis said.
"Our strategy from here is to make sure this fund is the single best way to play a recovery in technology and growth."
Mr Frazis said US consumer price inflation might be below 2 per cent by May or June, assuming current trend lines, after headline US inflation fell 0.1 per cent in December from November, and reduced the annual rate to 6.5 per cent.
"This was a Fed-induced slowdown more than anything else. At some point, this headwind will become a tailwind," he said.
"We're going to stay positioned strongly for a recovery. After inflation peaked in the scarring bear markets of 1973-74 and 1980-82, markets posted some of their strongest returns on record."
Software historically cheap
The fund's high-risk style doubled investors' money in 2020, before losing 12 per in 2021 and cratering 61.4 per cent over the 12 months to October 2022.
Mr Frazis suggested the massive compression in price-to-earnings multiples over 2022, driven by the US Federal Reserve's aggressive rate raising cycle, means now is the time for investors to jump in.
"The last time growth software traded this low in 2016, indices advanced [around] 11 times in five years, and [around] 5 times to where we are today," he said.
"Many companies are still at lifetime valuation lows. Adjusted for growth, the picture looks even better. Key companies are down 85 per cent to 90 per cent, are trading at 25 per cent free cash flow yields, and are still posting solid revenue growth."
Nasdaq-listed online shopping platform and e-commerce bellwether Shopify had its profit multiple compressed about 90 per cent over 2022, despite revenue growth, according to Mr Frazis.
"In January, Shopify broke above key moving averages for the first time in over a year. Since it has continued growing throughout this period, the stock can move to significant new highs without valuations ever approaching 2021 levels," he said.
Shopify posts earnings on February 15, with the stock's 32.3 per cent climb in 2023 headlining a broad rebound in growth businesses that were punished in 2022.
The Sydney-based fundie, who studied chemistry at Cambridge University in the UK, said the fund took a small position in Nasdaq-listed Achieve Life Sciences in January. The biotech has a drug at the phase III stage to help patients quit smoking.
"Achieve's drug has proven five to eight times more effective than a placebo in trials, with substantially lower side effects than varenicline or bupropion," Mr Frazis said.
"There are many opportunities like this in the life sciences, which is still recovering from a record washout in 2022, including cases like this where the science has been significantly de-risked."
Investors, including Mr Frazis, face a jam-packed week of data and earnings, including accounts from Meta, Amazon, and Apple. Consumer giants Starbucks and McDonald's also report, alongside drug conglomerates Pfizer, GSK. and Merck.
On Wednesday, the US Fed is broadly expected to slow its pace of interest rate increases to 0.25 percentage points to take benchmark borrowing rates to between 4.5 per cent and 4.75 per cent.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Index closed down 2 per cent on Monday, but is still up almost 10 per cent in 2023.

IPL 2019: David Warner joins Virat Kohli, Shane Watson in elite list after century against Royal Challengers Bangalore
David Warner continued his brilliant run of form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 with a brilliant century during the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
David Warner continued his brilliant run of form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 with a brilliant century during the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Hyderabad on Sunday.
This was Warner's 4th century and he is now tied with RCB skipper Virat Kohli and Chennai Super Kings opener Shane Watson in the list of IPL centurions. Only Chris Gayle (6) has more centuries than these three cricketers.
Warner started the campaign with two consecutive fifties against Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals but on Sunday, he was finally able to convert his start into a massive hundred to guide his team to a total of 231/2. He was helped by Jonny Bairstow who slammed his maiden century and ended his innings on 114 off 56 deliveries.
READ: Records tumble as Jonny Bairstow scores maiden hundred against RCB
"I think the 12 months have done me well - I think I am refreshed. A fantastic partnership - a fantastic innings by Jonny (Bairstow). Half the job is done. (And he trudges off. Leave him alone, everyone)," Warner said.
Most 100s in IPL:
6 Chris Gayle
4 Virat Kohli/ Shane Watson/ DAVID WARNER
3 AB de Villiers
Two individual 100s in the same innings in T20-cricket:
K O'Brein/ H Marshall, Gloucestershire v Middlesex, Uxbridge, 2011
V Kohli /AB de Villiers, RCB v GL, Bengaluru, 2016
A Hales/ R Rossouw, R Riders v C Vikings, Chattogram, 2019
D Warner/ J Bairstow, SRH v RCB, 2019
Bairstow and Warner set up a first wicket stand of 185 runs. It is an IPL record for the first wicket.
It is also the highest partnership for any wicket for Sunrisers Hyderabad.
READ: IPL 2019: RCB's Prayas Ray Barman creates history on debut
This is the third successive century partnership between Bairstow and Warner, a record. The duo previously added 118 runs against KKR and 110 against RR.
However, it is sixth in the list of highest IPL partnerships. It is a list dominated by RCB with the top two slots occupied by Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers with 229 and 215-run unbroken stands.

All Of Your Favorite Celebs Are Starring In A New Netflix Special
From a Friends alum to a Stranger Things star.
Who better to satirize the horrors of 2020 than the creators of Black Mirror? To cap off a year that could have easily worked as the plot for one of the show's episodes, series writer Charlie Brooker and executive producer Annabel Jones are releasing Death to 2020, a one-hour special premiering on Dec.27 that Netflix describes as a "cathartic comedy event you'll never forget about the year you really, really don't want to remember."
Narrated by Laurence Fishburne, Death to 2020 features a celebrity cast as characters being interviewed about the events of 2020. The trailer promises "unprecedented" access to experts, politicians, and average citizens as they tell "the definitive story of the most historic year in history." In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Brooker teased that the special is "quite a bit sillier than it sounds." "I don't love the word 'satire' but there's some of that here, alongside some angry jokes, and some goofy jokes," he said. "And hopefully viewers will find at least one joke to their liking — because let's face it, in 2020, any laugh you can emit, no matter how fleeting, is a small but precious victory."
If revisiting the special hells of 2020 doesn't exactly sound, uh, ideal, the A-list cast might sway you to watch. Here's everyone you can expect to see.
Samuel L. Jackson (Dash Bracket)
The Oscar-nominated actor behind the MCU's Nick Fury plays a reporter for New Yorkerly News, and he means business. "Don't be filmin' this for one of those casual introductory shots, please," Dash demands in one scene. "Sh*t's demeaning."
Hugh Grant (Tennyson Foss)
Fresh off his turn as Jonathan Fraser in HBO's The Undoing, Grant stars as history professor Tennyson Foss. "I'm pretty repellent actually," the actor recently teased to Vulture of the character, promising, "You'll like my wig."
Kumail Nanjiani (Bark Multiverse)
The Big Sick's Academy Award-nominated actor and screenwriter appears as the CEO of a tech company called Shreekr.
Tracey Ullman (Queen Elizabeth II)
The Mrs. America actor, who's already won six Emmys over the course of her decades-long career, stars as a British monarch who needs no introduction.
Samson Kayo (Pyrex Flask)
Kayo, who portrays a scientist in Death to 2020, is a London native who most recently played Elton in Amazon's British comedy-horror series, Truth Seekers.
Lisa Kudrow (Jeanetta Grace Susan)

Diane Morgan (Gemma Nerrick)
A British actor and comedian known for her comedy persona of Philomena Cunk, Morgan previously teamed with Brooker for his review series Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe. Her Death to 2020 character is simply described as "an average citizen."
Leslie Jones (Dr. Maggie Gravel)
The Saturday Night Live alum and Supermarket Sweep host stars as behavioral psychologist Dr. Maggie Gravel, who has an extremely apt assessment of 2020: "I'd say it was a trainwreck and a sh*t show, but that would be unfair to trains and sh*t."
Cristin Milioti (Kathy Flowers)
Milioti, who previously played Nanette Cole in Black Mirror's "USS Callister" episode, portrays a woman simply described as a "soccer mom."
Joe Keery (Duke Goolies)
Keery (aka Steve Harrington from Stranger Things) takes on the role of a "gig economy millennial."

We Shatter Silence Story from Norwalk, OH
I was staying at my friends house like I had many times before. She fell asleep on the floor, while I fell asleep on the couch. Her father was sitting at the end of the couch I was sleeping on. I woke up with him touching me on the chest. I didn't know what to do. I was so scared. I was thinking to myself, if I yell he may turn violent, so I sat there and prayed to God that this would end. I was screaming so loud inside but no one could hear me. He reached his hand lower onto my body. He got to the lining of my pants and I pretended to shift in my sleep. It worked. He moved his hand back up to my chest but now his body was moving. I had no idea what he was doing. He was grabbing me harder on the chest now, and then I realized he had been masturbating. Tears were pouring from my eyes. I tried not to let him see and to still pretend to be asleep. He left the house when someone called shortly after. I broke down when he left. I didn't tell anyone though, not until recently. I don't dare tell my friend though. I'm too scared she will hate me. I still don't understand why this happened to me, or what I did wrong. I don't want to feel what I am feeling now. That night something inside me changed; it is like an innocent part of me died. Any child like feelings I had left me that night. And reality struck me.

Runnymede may be the site of the Magna Carta but there are also a number of other memorials to democracy and the struggle for liberty sited here. Discover more about events in history have been marked at Runnymede.
Memorials at Runnymede
Nearly 800 years ago, King John met with a group of barons on this small patch of countryside. It was here he sealed Magna Carta, seen by many as the symbolic first step on the road to modern democracy. In this spirit, today Runnymede has several memorials to the ongoing struggle for liberty.
Magna Carta Memorial
This monument to the historic moment Magna Carta was sealed here was designed by Sir Edward Maufe and erected in 1957 by the American Bar Association.
Nestled in a quiet spot near the meadows and sat on a gentle slope looking out towards the Thames, today the memorial is the perfect place to pause and reflect.
Kennedy Memorial
Set in a symbolic acre of land donated to the United States of America by Queen Elizabeth II in in 1965, this seven tonne block of Portland stone commemorates the life of President John F Kennedy following his tragic assassination.
Designed by Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, it is maintained by the Kennedy Memorial Trust.
Commonwealth Air Forces Memorial
Beyond the woods on Coopers Hill is this moving memorial, inscribed with the names of 20,456 men and women of the Allied Air Forces who lost their lives during the Second World War and have no known grave.
This building is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Fairhaven Memorial Lodges
When Lady Fairhaven donated Runnymede to the National Trust, she commissioned Sir Edwin Lutyens to design these lodges in memory of her husband Sir Urban Broughton MP, who had bought the land to safeguard its future.
Today you can visit South Lodge, home to the Magna Carta tearoom.

A Simple Guide to Serviced Offices versus Coworking
What's the difference between coworking spaces and serviced offices?
Saturday, 27th August 2022
Coworking spaces and serviced offices are to be found everywhere these days, and the sheer variety can itself be quite daunting. They're so common, it's easy to assume that they're as much a part of the 21st-century workplace as the water cooler. And, just like the office's best place to network, flexible workspaces have been around since the 1960s.
Industry pros usually credit the Fegen Suites, created by an attorney and real estate executive Paul Fegen, as the first flexible office space. But the OmniOffices Group, an early predecessor of industry leader Regus, was already on the scene in 1962.
Regus still thrives, serving 80 locations across Australia, but serviced offices aren't the only option today. Now there's coworking, which was developed to serve the needs of freelancers, solopreneurs, and small teams. WeWork and Industrious are among the stars of this show.
Now with thousands of Serviced Offices around the world, there is no such thing as the average office - they are all different. Whether it's the services offered, the quality of the buildings or fit-out, the budget, or the target audience - there really is a Serviced Office to suit every business.
Coworking spaces and serviced offices are similar in that they both provide flexible short-term solutions, but they meet different needs and have different lease structures or license agreements as they are termed in the serviced office world.
What Is a Coworking Space?
Not every business needs to rent an entire office. That's where coworking spaces come in. The number of coworking spaces in the world is growing fast, as is the number of users. The Global Coworking Growth Study 2020 predicts that by 2024, there will be almost 5 million coworking tenants worldwide, an 158% increase over 2020.
Coworking spaces target individuals and small teams who need workspaces but are willing — and in many cases, actively want — to share. They usually work on a membership model, meaning that tenants pay a certain amount per month for access.
Members can rent a dedicated desk, meaning they get the same space every time they come in, or choose a flexible plan that lets them use any available "hot desk" in the room. There may also be options for private offices, depending on the provider.
The Benefits
Community without politics
Coworking spaces tend to host members from different walks of professional life. People occupying the same space aren't just working on different projects; they're working for different businesses and are likely to be in different industries.
Members still get to work side-by-side, without the competition and office politics that happen in a traditional office. The result? People who occupy coworking spaces thrive at about a six on a seven-point scale.
Balanced flexibility and structure
A lot of coworking spaces are open 24/7, so members can work on their own schedules. Members can choose to take advantage of this flexibility and work off-hours, an important benefit when a deadline is looming or a client in another time zone needs a meeting.
Often, though, members come during the workday to feel a sense of structure and shared purpose.
Available meeting space
Many coworking settings, if not all, let members sign up for meetings or conference rooms as needed. This alone can give coworking the advantage over a home office or coffee shop. A conference room just looks more professional than a corner table at Starbucks.
The Drawbacks
Rental costs
Working from home may be isolating, but at least it's free (or, more accurately, already paid for). Even a coffee shop can give you space for the cost of a $5 latte. By comparison, a rented desk might seem costly.
Coworking spaces are designed to facilitate a feeling of community, but sometimes that backfires. People make phone calls and meet at each other's desks to chat… all of the things that distract employees in traditional offices.
Lack of control
For people accustomed to working at home, the shared space model can be an adjustment. Members don't get to choose the internet provider, the level of heating, or even how often it gets cleaned.
What Is a Serviced Office?
A serviced office is an all-inclusive leased space that professionals and companies rent on shorter-term all-inclusive rolling contracts. The short-term lease lets the tenant grow or downsize as needed, without having to wait for the traditional multi-year lease to expire. As a tenant, you still get everything you might expect from a professional office space including security, cleaning, maintenance, and even parking.
Today's serviced offices come in a variety of sizes, from a single dedicated room to a full building. Businesses of all sizes and types can find serviced office space with not just desks and chairs but also reception services, IT infrastructure, and meeting facilities.
The Benefits
Know your costs with all-inclusive rent
The rent for a serviced office typically includes furnishings, utilities, building maintenance, and other necessities that you would pay for out-of-pocket with a traditional lease. When you add up the cost of those other necessities, serviced offices usually cost less in the short term.
Only pay for what you use
Whether it's meeting rooms you only use once a day or desks for future hires, Serviced Offices offer flexibility to grow your office space as your business grows and only pay for what you need.
Get down to business faster
Serviced offices usually come ready to go and can be tailored to meet your needs. In most cases, the only item on a new tenant's to-do list is to choose the office layout. Everything else — conference rooms, lounge and kitchen areas, and more — are already there. The settle-in process is quicker, so tenants can start working faster.
Shorter leases give flexibility in times of uncertainty
This is a big draw for many tenants to serviced offices rather than traditional leased space. Many facility management groups have lease minimums as short as three months. On average a 12-month term will get the best lease rate in a Serviced Office and is still much shorter compared to the three-year minimum more common in traditional office leases. The shorter lease term means that a business can grow faster or downsize as needed without having to wait for a lease to expire.
Adjust with less disruption
Serviced office tenants often have the chance to rent more or less space in the same building. Instead of having to change their business address and move all of their stuff, the company just has to sign a different rental agreement. Along with simple and shorter legal agreements the overhead to move is much lower than traditional leasing.
The Drawbacks
Higher long-term rental costs. Based purely on footprint, the monthly rent per square foot is often higher for a serviced office than a standard commercial lease. That's because the serviced office comes with — well, services, and the longer term commitment of traditional office leases.
The flatmate problem
Most serviced offices have multiple tenants. Larger tenants will often rent their own suite of meeting rooms and even whole floors or buildings. For those sharing bathrooms, break rooms, kitchens, meeting rooms, and parking areas. Fortunately, there's a huge choice of office space available and so always something for every type of business, and the operator of the space is always on hand to make sure the shared services are clean and working as needed.
Meeting room access
One of the common questions we hear is how are shared meeting rooms booked at Serviced Offices? To ensure meeting rooms are available when needed, most Serviced Offices have an online booking system and charge a small fee for usage. The charge incentivizes people to only book what they need and ensures a fair availability of meeting rooms.
How Do They Compare?
Serviced offices and coworking spaces have different features and selling points, but neither is objectively better than the other. It all comes down to what the renter needs.
Who Are the Renters?
In general, coworking spaces are best for individuals and small start-up teams that don't yet need their own offices. Serviced offices are most popular with start-ups and small businesses, many of which are transitioning from a home office to traditional business space.
Serviced offices also attract larger companies looking for remote offices for staff closer to home or as a trophy HQ at a prestigious address and somewhere staff can come to collaborate. There are also entrepreneurs and freelancers who choose serviced offices, especially when they need a more professional private space to meet with clients.
The need for privacy or more dedicated space for a larger team may draw a renter to serviced offices and away from coworking. Likewise, the need for community might nudge a person toward coworking. In many other ways, the two setups are similar.
What Are the Similarities?
Serviced offices and coworking spaces are designed to provide flexible working solutions, so it's no accident that they look the same in many ways. For example, both provide a wide range of amenities, from free meeting room access to facilities that let tenants park their bikes and shower.
Both involve the sharing of common spaces, a feature that helps businesses and professionals to save costs for non-core space. Whether it means sitting side-by-side at a table or sitting down for lunch in the floor's break room, coworking members and serviced office renters can make new connections or retreat to their own desks as needed.
Serviced offices and coworking spaces tend to have similar costs per person, but since serviced offices cater to larger teams, the overall lease costs are higher.
At WeWork, the average cost for a team of one to four people ranges from $620 in Boston to $850 in NYC. Many other operators offer space for as little as $400 per person per month to $1,250 per person per month.
The basic costs per person are comparable for serviced offices. Regus has offices available for as little as $483 per person, which works out to $1,450 per month for a three-person team in Parramatta. Sydney costs range from $1,090 to $1,499 per person per month, but the total cost depends on the office size. The company's 33-seat office, for example, costs $44,979 per month.
Making the Decision
There's a lot of variability in both the serviced office and coworking space markets, much more than an overview article can cover. There are differing amenities, location differences, and varying setups between providers.
Rubberdesk has thousands of flexible space options listed across 50 states, all of which are available to reserve online. Take some time to browse what's available, or give us a call for a custom quote.

Using C-ITS on road status information in winter maintenance operations
This paper presents a Norwegian pilot on the use of a cooperative ITS (C-ITS) service for road status information data in winter maintenance operations. Approximately 500 ordinary production Volvo vehicles are used as a sensor for data collection and estimation of slippery roads, with the aim of improving winter maintenance in terms of cost efficiency and quality. Cooperation and interaction between the road authorities and the car industry is also expected to be conducive to further development and investment in future C-ITS services. After a short introduction, the paper presents a concept description and the objectives of the application, followed by a presentation of the pilot study and the evaluation framework used for assessing the quality and impacts of the C-ITS service. In conclusion, the expected results and outcome of the project are presented, along with a brief description of the underlying mechanisms causing the expected effects.

Most of the current fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes are based on either the learning-with-errors (LWE) problem or on its ring variant (RLWE) for storing plaintexts. During the homomorphic computation of FHE schemes, RLWE formats provide high throughput when considering several messages, and LWE formats provide a low latency when there are only a few messages. Efficient conversion can bridge the advantages of each format. However, converting LWE formats into RLWE format, which is called ring packing, has been a challenging problem. We propose an efficient solution for ring packing for FHE. The main improvement of this work is twofold. First, we accelerate the existing ring packing methods by using bootstrapping and ring switching techniques, achieving practical runtimes. Second, we propose a new method for efficient ring packing, HERMES, by using ciphertexts in Module-LWE (MLWE) formats, to also reduce the memory. To this end, we generalize the tools of LWE and RLWE formats for MLWE formats. On a single-thread implementation, HERMES consumes $10.2$s for the ring packing of $2^{15}$ LWE-format ciphertexts into an RLWE-format ciphertext. This gives $41$x higher throughput compared to the state-of-the-art ring packing for FHE, PEGASUS [S&P'21], which takes $51.7$s for packing $2^{12}$ LWE ciphertexts with similar homomorphic capacity. We also illustrate the efficiency of HERMES by using it for transciphering from LWE symmetric encryption to CKKS fully homomorphic encryption, significantly outperforming the recent proposals HERA [Asiacrypt'21] and Rubato [Eurocrypt'22].

Plastique Plot Summary:
Barry (Grant Gustin) has to pursue an explosive new meta-human in Central City and he has to find her before a dangerous General (Clancy Brown) does. At the same item Barry has to deal with Iris' (Candice Patton) curiosity as she moves forward with her Streak-centric blog.
Let's break down the major story lines of this week's episode…
Barry and Iris
This week Barry and Iris's relationship took a strange turn. Iris has been on a mission to let people know about "The Streak" that is saving people from house fires and window washing disasters that are all too common on television. (Seriously, have you ever seen a TV window washer just successfully wash a window and go home? Never.) Iris is now blogging about The Streak and for some reason she is using her real name on the blog. Of course, everyone but Iris agrees is a horrible idea. All Iris seems concerned with is meeting up with The Flash.
To show her how no good can come from trying to meet up with The Flash, Barry decides… to meet up with her as the Flash. They go through the rooftop superhero motions that we have seen in so many movies already. It ends with Laurel Iris telling Flash that she is investigating the Flash because of Barry and he gets all emotional and runs away. This interaction and the fact that he can't tell Iris his secret (for some reason) forces Barry to "break up" with his fake sister for a while. It seems like a pretty good movie for the show since their relationship was going way too well. I am excited to see what happens when Barry gets a little space.
Barry and Joe
This relationship is certainly the part of the show I look forward to the most. This is due to the fact that Jesse L. Martin is such a pro. He walks the line between dad and boss so well and this week he also did a great job playing the role of regular guy, too. The moment where Barry explains how he masks his identity and Joe just thought it was the coolest thing was priceless. It's reactions like this that make you really notice what separates Flash from other shows like Arrow or SHIELD — Flash acknowledges that having super powers would be awesome.
The craziest single moment between Joe and Barry this week however, had nothing to do with superpowers. My mind was blown by Joe's admission that he knows how Barry feels about Iris and that he's okay with it. Even as a Flash fan who knows that Barry and Iris are destined to be together, I think its a little weird that he is in love with his adopted sister. Wouldn't you assume it would be an even weirder relationship to grasp if they were both your "kids?" That is why Joe is the best. You know he understands how nutty it is, but he internalizes it and pretends he doesn't mind the borderline incest.
He is truly the perfect dad/cop.
Plastique and The Gang
This week's freak was a rogue known as Plastique (Kelly Frye). She has the power to turn objects into bombs, which manifests itself the same way Gambit's powers usually do. Her big issue is that she can't control the powers and accidentally weaponizes whatever she touches. The lack of self control also manifests in Cisco (Carlos Valdes). This guy, who despite the fact we just established Plastique could explosively-destroy anything she touched, couldn't help but hit on her throughout the episode. The rest of the interactions with the group were pretty standard. Cisco gives her a goofy name. Barry tells her to not be bad. Caitlin is there. But then…
What on infinite Earths is going on with Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh)?!?! His motivations are all over the place. He completely convinces Plastique to murder General Eiling with a single badass quasi-military speech. It worked so well it borders on possibly being mind control. Then Plastique went and get herself killed, which is the only way that plan doesn't completely sink Wells. If she survived long enough to tell anyone what she was up to, they would all have been on Wells' case. It seems like everything happened with Plastique for the sole purpose of teaching Barry that he can run on water, which seems like a really roundabout way to do that but who knows. Wells clearly knows exactly what he is doing.
Wells and Eiling
What a treat having Clancy Brown back in the superhero TV fold. Fans of DC animation will recognize Brown as the voice of Lex Luthor on the animated Superman series as well as the wildly popular Justice League cartoons. He has the perfect voice that exudes both pure evil and pure power. Interestingly enough he also voices Mr. Krabbs so, yeah, he's got range. He also plays a bizarrely familiar character in General Eiling. He is a general bent on hunting down superpowered individuals and weaponizing their powers for the military. If that sounds familiar, it is because General Eiling has almost exactly the same as the description as classic Hulk villain General Thunderbolt Ross. I am bringing this comparison up because Clancy Brown currently provides the voice for Ross on the Marvel cartoon Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H. which makes Brown the perfect person the play Eiling, since he pretty much already is.
The relationship between Wells and Eiling is, no surprise, complicated. They worked together in the olden days of five years ago on weird science projects but once Wells grew a conscience things fell apart. The stinger tacked onto the end of the episode teases the strangest of all of the Flash villains, which is awesome. I don't want to spoil it here if you haven't yet seen it yet. Suffice it to say, If I were making a Flash show, I wouldn't dream of putting him into the first season, let alone the fifth episode. I can't wait until we have entire story arcs devoted to him.

Louis Bialy, P.E., whose name is synonymous with elevator codes and standards, has retired from Otis and launched a consulting business, Louis Bialy & Associates LLC. For the past 33 years, Bialy worked in various capacities for Otis. His retirement was effective December 31. "It has indeed been an honor and a privilege to have been a part of one of the world's great companies, and I have made many friends over the years who will always be precious to me," Bialy said. "Otis has played a central role in my life and will always have a special place in my heart."
Head of Otis Worldwide Codes & Standards for more than 20 years, Bialy started his career there with the founding of Otis Canada's R&D Department in 1980. In 1984, he transferred to Farmington, Connecticut, where he developed numerous products for electric and hydraulic elevators, as well as specifications for Otis's Bristol Test Tower in Connecticut. The recipient of many company and industry awards, including being honored as an Otis Fellow in 2006, Bialy holds various patents in the elevator and other industries. His work for Otis encompassed both product-liability defense and developing and implementing codes and standards around the world. He has been a member and leader of key International Standards Organization and American Society of Mechanical Engineers committees.
Prior to coming to Otis, Bialy was chief engineer at Sheldons Engineering and supervisor of Product Engineering at Joy Manufacturing Co., both in Ontario. He also led Engineering, Design and Development for the DeBeers Group in South Africa. He is a registered P.E., and holds an M.Eng from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, and a B.Sc in Engineering from Witwatersrand University in South Africa. He has published numerous articles on engineering issues, and has given many presentations on elevator safety codes and standards – an effort he plans to continue. In fact, he plans to stay very busy in retirement:
"Actually, the word 'retirement' isn't in my vocabulary. My future is merely a change, to some extent, of my time allocation. I plan to spend more time with my wife, Jill, of 45 years, and our children and grandchildren. I hope to visit places that we have not yet been to, such as New Zealand, Morocco, Egypt and the Galapagos Islands. I hope to devote more time to photography and reading. As a final endeavor, I hope to write in both a technical and general capacity. I envisage writing about my life and all the people and events that have shaped my decisions. This will perhaps be an interesting record for future generations."

Lerch Bates President and CEO Bart Stephan said of him, "[Hall's] extraordinary career in vertical transportation and his more than 10 years of experience as an authority in elevator systems [make] him an ideal project manager of strategic accounts."
Renderings Show NYC Residential Tower
In December, renderings of 22 Thames, a 70-story, 841-ft. building planned in New York City (NYC), were released, providing a look at what promises to be one of the tallest residential towers in Lower Manhattan, New York Yimby reported. Designed by Raphael Vinoly, 22 Thames will boast a sleek, glass façade with metal accents, and would be among NYC's slimmest towers. Being developed jointly by Fisher Brothers and the Witkoff Group, 22 Thames would comprise approximately 400 units, and is slated for completion in spring 2017.
Mixed-Use Tower Called "Game Changer" for Philadelphia
A 47-story, mixed-use tower planned in downtown Philadelphia is being described by architect Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates as a "game changer" for the city that promises to spark further development, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. At 562 ft., the SLS Tower would become the tallest residential building in Pennsylvania upon completion. Construction is expected to start in fall 2014 and take approximately two years. SLS Tower will house an SLS Hotel and retail, with the upper floors devoted to condominium units.

Lerch Bates Approved to Perform Inspections in Arizona
Lerch Bates Inc. has been licensed by the state of Arizona to perform elevator and escalator inspections, the Denver-based company announced in December 2013. Legislation passed by Arizona in 2010 paved the way for private companies to capture part of the market by allowing owners and operators of vertical-transportation systems to hire inspectors approved by the state Division of Occupational Safety and Health. There are more than 30,000 elevators in Arizona, Lerch Bates noted. "More and more states are allowing the private sector to perform initial and annual inspections of vertical transportation systems, and we are leading the way in gaining approval in those states," said Jeff Marsh, vice president of Business Development and Marketing. Lerch Bates said it is in the process of becoming licensed in Mississippi, which recently passed a law requiring regular inspections (ELEVATOR WORLD, January 2014).

The real question is:
What makes you think that Securitized Token Offerings (STOs) aren't regulated crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding consist of 3 elements:
1. A human looking for money
2. Goes on the internet and ask strangers for money
3. In exchange for their good, product, service or use/equity/obligation for using their good, product or service.
If you do "unregulated" crowdfunding, good luck. Thats called an "ICO". Where as an "STO" doesn't actually exist and is just a fancy marketing term for debt/equity crowdfunding. How do STOs not exist? There is no such thing as a "token offering". It was a term made up by a lawyer or a marketer to attempt to add sexiness or gray area to existing JOBS Act regulations. Its like saying "I'm going to securitize a gummy bear offering." What is a "gummy bear offering"? Its the same thing as a token offering. Its a made up financial instrument that ultimately is crowdfunding. Whether its donation, debt, equity or royalty when you use the internet to solicit support, from strangers, thats crowdfunding.
Here are 2 videos that provide additional context.
Love the question and keep them coming!

Marketing Plans
Marketing Objectives
Marketing objectives define what marketing intends to accomplish on behalf of your organization. Once you define your marketing objectives, everything else can be defined, including marketing strategies, programs, tactics, budgets and responsibilities.
If your marketing plan is executed successfully, what goals will be achieved?
That's the key question that is answered by a short list of marketing objectives, which should be covered early in your marketing plan.
Figuring out how to define marketing objectives starts with an understanding of the attributes of a good marketing objective. We'll cover that first and then offer a few marketing objective examples that might give you a better feel for how to come up with your marketing objectives.
Attributes of Good Marketing Objectives
Marketing objectives should be:
- Aligned With Business Objectives - Achieving your marketing objectives should lead to higher sales, improved profitability, and better overall company performance. If your marketing objectives don't drive business success, you need to set different marketing objectives.
- Clear - Try to define each of your marketing objectives in no more than forty words. Ask others to read your marketing objectives and explain them back to you. Keep reworking your marketing objectives until you have achieved perfect clarity.
- Measurable - There's no point to defining a marketing objective if you cannot subsequently decide whether you were successful in getting it done. For this reason, marketing objectives should be associated with metrics that can determine how well you did.
- Time-Specific - Your marketing objective lays out what you hope to accomplish, but does it say by when? If not, big mistake. Make sure your marketing objectives have a stated time frame for achievement.
- Realistic - Do you have the resources necessary to accomplish your objectives? There's no point in chasing after "pie in the sky" marketing objectives that you'll never achieve. Instead, set realistic goals that stretch the organization but are still doable.
Examples of Marketing Objectives
Here are a few example marketing objectives. While reviewing these sample marketing objectives, think about whether they might apply to your organization.
- Increase product awareness among the target audience by 30 percent in one year.
- Inform target audience about features and benefits of our product and its competitive advantage, leading to a 10 percent increase in sales in one year.
- Decrease or remove potential customers' resistance to buying our product, leading to a 20 percent increase in sales that are closed in six months or less.
If you have multiple objectives, always make sure they are consistent and not in conflict with each other. Also, be sure that the remainder of your marketing plan components -- the marketing strategy, marketing budget, marketing programs, controls and measures, etc. -- support your marketing objectives. If it doesn't all work together, you may need to revisit your marketing objectives and tweak them a bit.

Which method apart from the cost of carry model exists, and which works best in real life? How does the market expectations impact on the futures price?
1 Answer
When the required conditions are fulfilled ( a storeable commodity, an observable spot price, no "convenience yield") the cost of carry model determines the futures price by arbitrage.
Otherwise, to my knowledge, there is no alternative model. The futures price will just be the market's expectation (possibly plus or minus a risk premium) of what the commodity will be worth at the delivery date. In other words it can be just about anything in that case.
1$\begingroup$ Take the example of a STIR (short term interest rate) future. There is no cost of carry since there is no asset to purchase and hold. The futures price is simply the market expectation of the publication of an index at a point in the future (as determined through analysis and no (practical) arbitrage measured against other similar products e.g. IRSs, FRAs etc.) $\endgroup$– Attack68 ♦Jan 23, 2019 at 21:31

In addition to going to school she works as a waitress and has noted that it is harder to carry heavy trays. She also has gum inflammation and is wondering if this could be related to everything else. The physician notes the heliotrope rash around her eyes (Figure 174-1) and the Gottron papules on the dorsum of her knuckles (Figure 174-2). He considers that this may be dermatomyositis and tests for proximal muscle weakness. The proximal muscles are not found to be weak on physical exam although a subsequent blood test showed a mildly elevated CK and AST. The physician uses his dermatoscope to look at the nail folds and sees many dilated capillary loops (Figure 174-3). On the oral examination, there is a marginal gingivitis and the dermatoscope shows a similar dilated capillary pattern around the tooth. A diagnosis of dermatomyositis is made. The patient was treated with prednisone and hydroxychloroquine and improves greatly. The patient was then tapered off the prednisone fully with no relapse. ++ FIGURE 174-1 Classic heliotrope rash around the eyes of this teenager newly diagnosed with dermatomyositis. The color "heliotrope" is a pink-purple tint named after the color of the heliotrope flower. As expected, her heliotrope rash is bilaterally symmetrical.

Similar to adult cases of dermatomyositis, the disease is primarily characterized by progressive, symmetrical, proximal muscle weakness. Dermatologic manifestations may occur with or without muscular disease and include the heliotrope rash (Figures 174-1 174-4, and 174-5), "shawl sign," and Gottron papules over the finger joints (Figures 174-4 to 174-7). Although primarily a disease of muscle and skin, juvenile dermatomyositis has a clear association with myocarditis, vasculitis, calcinosis and interstitial lung disease.1 Unlike adult dermatomyositis, ...
