The New York Times commented on the growing trend in 'adult playgrounds,' or outdoor gyms. They promote physical activity, and are also cheap, quiet, and uncontroversial.
Whenever we think about urban design, we inevitably end up talking about block size. But what is a block anyway? Better Towns and Cities discusses.
A Denver Westword blogger wrote about the success of a Denver Better Block project. "Organizers decorated a block with flowers, benches and trees. They redesigned city streets and filled them with live music. They turned empty storefronts into a coffee shop and a gallery. They mapped biking and walking paths throughout the neighborhood, and they painted the streets and their surroundings with art"- all to highlight how life could be different for pedestrians in the neighborhood, with just a little bit of vision (and elbow grease).
The NARC has recently released a summary report of efforts made by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to integrate public health factors and considerations into their transportation plans.
Big Think got us thinking about how the areas in which children are allowed to roam freely has dramatically shrunk over the last two generations–effectively destroying outside-childhoods.

E-Commerce Success: How Plate Crate Made It to $3.9 Million
Sourcify > eCommerce Tips, Tricks and Real Success Stories > eCommerce > E-Commerce Success: How Plate Crate Made It to $3.9 Million
Aug 15 2022 By Arthur
eCommerce, Success Stories, Tips & Advice
Jack London once said, "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." The author, known for his tales about grit and perseverance knew a thing or two about ambition.
This principle applies as much to the business world as the writing world, and entrepreneurs must have the grit to go after inspiration with a club. That is exactly what Plate Crate's founder, Josh Band did. Although, in his case it was more like a bat — a baseball bat, to be exact.
Band had been an independent baseball player in the Midwest in the early 2010's. To make up for his small baseball salary, he spent his offseason doing other small jobs. The work was hard but the, and the pay was minimal.
He offered personal training services to high school baseball players and helped little leaguers with their batting game. He also had some other less baseball-related jobs such as shoveling snow in the middle of the night. During the day, he would train for his baseball career.
The lifestyle was not sustainable for a professional athlete — or professional anything. Not only was he struggling under the workload, but none of these jobs proved very lucrative. Band decided to put some of his hard work into something more worth his while. This led him to creating Plate Crate, a subscription-box company that specializes in all things baseball.
It Starts With Determination
Band decided to flex his entrepreneurial muscle and try something a little different. He researched online to see what might work as a business startup and found that subscription boxes were gaining momentum.
After realizing that the subscription-box route might be the best way to go, Band threw everything he had into it. He had $800 between his bank account and savings bonds, so he used what he had and bought an inventory. It was all or nothing now.
Filled a Need
Perhaps the single most important factor in starting a subscription-box business, or any business for that matter, is to offer a product that people want yet no one else is offering.
Though baseball is known as America's pastime, no one else had a baseball subscription-box business. Band found that niche and capitalized on it when he started Plate Crate.
Band was a baseball fanatic since he was a child. He achieved his dream at age 22 when he became an actual baseball player for a small Louisiana team.
However, the odd jobs he picked up in his off-season were not only lacking in pay but lacking in passion. These jobs were taking his focus and effort away from baseball — the very thing he needed to be focusing on for the upcoming season.
So, when he decided to try his hand at subscription boxes, he chose a product that would keep him right on focus. Baseball. This gave him an advantage because now he had knowledge of his product and passion to drive him.
Band knew he wanted to spend his life surrounded by baseball. He let that love for the game drive him to create a successful business. It was his determination to put whatever work was necessary into his dream that made Plate Crate a home-run business idea.
Immediate Action
Band admitted that if he had not acted when he did, he probably would not have started Plate Crate at all. There is a lot that goes into a subscription business. Inventory, warehousing, shipping, and employees are just some of the factors that are important for an entrepreneur to consider when starting a business.
However, Band did not think about these; he just went for it. While walking into the business world naively may not be the best course of action, the principle here is in the fact that Band put aside all his fears and doubt and went after what he believed could be a successful business.
Quality Above All
Plate Crate had the advantage of being one of the only (if not the only) baseball subscription boxes when Band started it. However, it stayed successful because of its top-notch quality.
The products in the boxes are at a guaranteed value of at least twice the price of the subscription per month. Besides keeping baseball fans happy with what they receive in each box, Plate Crate's quality packaging also gives them a satisfying unboxing experience.
Complete with quality customer service which includes the option to easily pause or cancel subscriptions, Plate Crate's customers are kept happy — keeping the company ahead in the subscription-box game.
Hitting Some Strikes Isn't So Bad
Plate Crate has grown to what it is today by trial and error. When Band started Plate Crate, he did not even know how to launch a business. He learned that he had to be resourceful.
Plate Crate now manufactures a lot of their own merchandise and even stadium snacks under the brand name Bandit Sports, but at the time, Band had to rely on wholesalers. Rather than ordering custom packaging which can be extremely expensive, Band settled for plain, white boxes which he stamped with the logo himself.
Band made do with what he had and came up with solutions. As orders rolled in, the business was able to grow, expanding until it reached where it is now with over $3.9 million in revenue.
Josh Band harnessed the grit and ambition he developed while playing baseball and used it to create a successful business. Plate Crate grew from a small business conducted out of a basement to a multimillion-dollar sports company with its own merchandise line.
It's a prime example of a classic American underdog story.

More than 200 graduates from the same high school as Christine Blasey Ford, the professor who has alleged that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party three decades ago, have written an open letter supporting her.
The letter, written by students from the prestigious Holton-Arms School In Maryland and first reported by HuffPost, comes as a growing number of senators from both sides of the aisle have called on Ford to testify publicly about her claim that Kavanaugh and a friend assaulted her in the early 1980s.
The letter concludes by saying it has already been signed by "200+" Holton Arms alumnae stretching from 1968 through the present day.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is currently scheduled to vote on Kavanaugh's nomination on September 20, although all 10 Democratic members of the committee have signed a joint letter asking Republican chair Sen. Chuck Grassley to postpone the vote until new questions raised by Ford's allegations about Kavanaugh's "record, truthfulness, and character" have been thoroughly addressed.
Previously, Republicans had circulated a letter signed by 65 women supporting Judge Kavanaugh's nomination. Politico has reported that, after the details of Ford's allegations were made public, nearly half of them did not respond to subsequent requests for comment. Two declined outright.

What is the flexible Furlough Scheme?
AuthorPaul Burton
UPDATE: The Chancellor announced changes to the furlough scheme on Thursday 17th December - the update can be read here.
From this month the new Flexible Furlough Scheme is in operation. Under the old scheme an employee had to be furloughed for at least 21 days and could perform no work in that time.
The new scheme allows for a furlough of any period and for employees to work part-time.
How will flexible furlough work?
Employees must be paid in full for the time that they are working, with the scheme covering 80 per cent of an employee's wages for the remainder of the week (capped at £2,500). The Government regards this as part of the process of phasing out furlough altogether by the end of October.
Who is eligible for flexible furlough?
For that reason, the Flexible Furlough Scheme is only open to employees who were fully furloughed for at least 21 days under the old scheme.
How many employees can be on flexible furlough?
What is more, the number of employees who can be flexibly furloughed is capped at the 'high water mark' of employees furloughed under the old scheme.
So, if the employer had furloughed no more than 50 employees at any one time under the old scheme it cannot place more than 50 employees on flexible furlough.
How much will employers need to pay for flexible furlough?
From August, the employer will have to start bearing some of the costs of paying employees on furlough. At first, they will simply have to pay employer's national insurance and pension contributions.
Then in September, the support provided for employees on furlough will be reduced to 70 per cent of wages (capped at £2,187.50) and in October the Government will contribute only 60% of wages (capped at £1,875).
Even in September and October, however, the employer must make up the sum so that the employee receives at least 80% of wages to a maximum of £2,500 per month.
Will the furlough scheme end in October?
The Government has just announced that they are not going to extend the furlough scheme beyond October for those sectors of the economy that will continue to be hard-hit by the pandemic. Instead they are offering a bonus to employers of £1,000 per furloughed employee that returns to work and is retained until at least the end of January 2021.
One condition is that the employee must be paid a minimum of £520 per month upon their return in order for the employer to be eligible for the bonus.
You can read Chris Dobbs' article on the job retention bonus scheme here.
An employment law specialist on flexible furlough
"The flexible furlough scheme was certainly welcomed by many employers, but without further measures however, it seems inevitable that large scale redundancies that were avoided in the Spring will dominate the autumn.
The real employment law impact of coronavirus has yet to be felt and time will tell whether the new bonus announced by the government will dampen that impact."

The British pie – 10 fun facts you didn't know
Heidi Finnane
The Cornish delicacy, Stargazy Pie. Credit: Alamy/Simon Reddy
We're a nation obsessed by flaky pastry and meaty fillings: pie, considered to be Britain's national dish, is always on the mind. Here are 10 fun facts you probably didn't know
1. Pie is an ancient dish invented by the Romans
They gave us roads and running water and the Romans are also credited with giving us pie – the first example of a meat filling enclosed in a basic pastry made of flour and oil can be traced back to ancient Rome.
2. Pie crust was originally used as tupperware
The crusty top/lid of a pie actually served to preserve the food as a sort of container – in fact the shells were tough and basically inedible but they served well as a sort of utensil to eat the filling before being discarded.
3. The theatre of pie
Medieval chefs were often tasked with outdoing one another for their masters entertainment. Birds are said to have flown out of pies and it's even rumoured that dwarves came out of pies at feasts.
4. Fruit pies and the Tudor connection
Called 'pyes' in medieval England and filled with meat, fruit pies first appeared in the 1500s, but British tradition says that the first cherry pie was served to Queen Elizabeth I in the late 16th century.
5. Mince pies were once banned
Legend has it that in the 17th century Oliver Cromwell (Lord Protector of the Commonwealth) banned eating mince pies at Christmas as he saw it as a sign of gluttony. Luckily the ban didn't last long and we are able to enjoy the delicious pies once more.
6. To eat humble pie
'Umble pie', a pie made from the innards of deer, was said to be a dish for the lower classes as venison was reserved for the wealthy. But while it might be fun to put 'humble' and 'umble' together, there's no real evidence to link this saying with the dish.
7. The Cornish delicacy that features fish that stare at you
Stargazy pie involves baking seven types of fish, including herring and mackerel, and a filling of eggs, potatoes and thickened milk. Whole pilchards are then arranged so their heads (and sometimes tails) emerge from a shortcrust pastry topping. The pie is traditionally cooked in the fishing village of Mousehole on 23 December to celebrate Tom Bawcock's Eve, a day commemorating the heroic 16th-century fisherman who braved winter storms in his boat to ensure the locals didn't go hungry over Christmas.
8. Jellied Eels is a popular pie accompaniment in East London
In London, pie shops often sell jellied eels –a classic Cockney dish of native British eels, boiled and then cooled – as an accompaniment to pie.
9. 'Death by pie' has been cemented in literary legend
Shakespeare killed off two characters in Titus Andronicus by baking them into a pie, and Sweeney Todd, the fictional Victorian character who ran a London barber shop, disposed of his victims by baking them into pies.
10. Pies pop-up in many a nursery rhyme
Four and twenty blackbirds were baked in a pie in 'Sing a Song of Sixpence', Simple Simon met a pieman in his eponymous rhyme and even Little Jack Horner stuck his thumb into a pie.

The St Fillan's Medical Centre in Preston has made a successful switch to Lexacom's digital technology after battling against the limitations imposed by its previous analogue system.
Six months after the initial installation, the seven doctors and two secretaries that are using Lexacom at St Fillan's are all happy with the increased efficiency that the digital dictation platform has afforded them.
Practice manager Karen Manciocchi believes it would have been a false economy to replace their old analogue equipment with anything other than Lexacom's digital software.
She said: "When I was looking at alternative dictation solutions, it was clear that Lexacom was two or three times cheaper than some of the other digital platforms that are available. And when you compare the price of Lexacom to carrying on with tapes and buying a whole new dictaphone set-up, there was almost nothing in it.

Q: How to Iterate over ConcurrentHashMap with HashSet as value and remove a string from the HashSet while iterating over the map? I am starting to learn java and going through the following issue
While trying to update values(Hashset) of ConcurrentHashMap when iterating over it - ConcurrentModificationError is shown while debugging - although the code didn't crash
This is the scenario:
concurrentMap =
Key -> A
Value -> ["a","b","c","d"]
Key -> B
value -> ["a", "j", "k", "l", "m"]

when i try to remove "a" while iterating over A it fails to update the hashset properly and fails to loop
I saw the hashset update as follows
[a, b, c, d]
[b,c]

How can I remove 'a' from key A while i am iterating over A and update the hashSet properly ?
private ConcurrentMap<String, HashSet<String>> concurrentMap = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();

private void parseItems(Item testItem) throws Exception {

        Map<String, HashSet<String>> itemMap = ConcurrentHashMap <>(Myclass.getIdMap(testItem));
        concurrentMap = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(itemMap);
        for (String type : concurrentMap.keySet()) {
            for (String id : concurrentMap.get(type)) {
                if (type.equals("MyType")) {

console errors
then if we reload the page the map is shown correctly but with this error in the console :
DIRECTIONS_ROUTE: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT: There was an issue performing a Directions request.
i've checked our quotas usage and we are at :
quotas below the limit
what do you think is the problem ?
how can i check my QPS usage ?


Equipping missionaries, encouraging believers, and expressing God's glory on earth are only a few of the reasons Engaging Missions exists. In this week's episode, Bryan Entzminger, our own interviewer, sits on the other side of the table to share about the purpose behind the podcast. Scott McClelland takes the role of the interviewer to ask Bryan about his passions and desires for the show.
Speaking with conviction and fervor, he spends time discussing his inspirations, God's work in the show, and the importance of the marketplace. Through the interview, we are better able to understand Bryan's heart for not only the show, but also the missionaries and listeners.
[03:25] – What inspired you to create this podcast?
I think that I never would have anticipated that level of compassion, that level of connection.
[11:46] – What has surprised you throughout the show?
[23:42] – What inspires you personally?
[28:40] – What discourages you?
I believe that every single calling is valuable.
I believe that this is also an opportunity for us to allow God to reform us into His image.

Q: Avoiding warning "Use of this in closure" When i wrote this code i have 2 warnings "Use of this in closure"
 function tableIntoJson(){
    var tableArray = [];
    var columnIndex=0;
    var rowIndex=0;
    $('table#editable tr:not(#head)').each(function() {
        var tableData = $(this).find('td:not(#head)');
        tableArray[rowIndex]=[];
        if (tableData.length > 0) {
            columnIndex=0;
            tableData.each(function() {
                tableArray[rowIndex][columnIndex]=$(this).text();
                columnIndex++
            });
        }
        rowIndex++;
    });
    var jsonString=JSON.stringify(tableArray);
    return jsonString;
}

Warnings annoying me)).How can i replace "$(this)"?

A: Even though it's a valid use of this, if you want to keep your IDE happy, replace
$('table#editable tr:not(#head)').each(function() {
    var tableData = $(this).find('td:not(#head)');

with
$('table#editable tr:not(#head)').each(function(trIndex, tr) {
    var tableData = $(tr).find('td:not(#head)');

(and similar for the next .each).
It is also more readable than using this, since in this fashion you explicitly know what each loop iterates.

Free Entertainment Found at Library
Sunday, November 30th 2008, 11:45 pm
By Jacqueline Sit, NEWS 9
OKLAHOMA CITY -- With the economic downturn, library branches across the metro are seeing an increase in memberships and visitors.
The library is the perfect place to learn something new or find free entertainment in a book or a movie. Brad Venator and his son Maddox spend many Sundays at the library, and every visit is helping his family save a bunch.
"This is definitely something that helps us financially because we can get the entertainment value out of it, but it helps educationally," Venator said.
Librarian Karen Bays said she understands how much using the library can save, after all, they provide so much for free.
"If you were to buy a best seller book, you can spend $30," Bays said. "People are checking out a ton of DVDs for children."
The best parts are the seemingly limitless selections, and you can enjoy them all from the comfort of your own home.
Bays said people are also turning to the library for help with job searching, resume building and other skills for career development. There are also plenty of do-it-yourself books to keep people busy, and save them money.
"We have all kinds of books on crafts that can help you make your own Christmas presents," Bays said.
Venator said his wife also finds plenty of uses for the library.
"My wife she really likes to cook, so she goes and checks out a recipe book before she purchases them," Venator said.
But at the end of the day, it goes beyond learning to cook up a feast and playing video games, it's simply family fun times well spent.
"We have three kids and the education they gain from this, besides watching T.V. and just the price and inexpensive nature of it, really helps in raising a family of five," Venator said.

Raphael Reuten wins Young Investigator award from the German Society for Matrix Biology
March 16, 2017 March 16, 2017 hmfrost Uncategorized
Raphael Reuten, March 2017
The German Society for Matrix Biology Young Investigator Award is selected every year during the society's Annual Meeting. This year the meeting took place in Cologne and was organised by Gerhard Sengle, Julia Etich and others.
I was delighted to be nominated, together with two other outstanding scientists: Eva Brauchle, from the Schenke-Layland lab, University of Tübingen and the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) and Zhiqi Sun, from the Fässler lab, Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry, Matrinsried, Munich).
Eva Brauchle presented an interesting and promising diagnostic tool which uses spectroscopy to detect deficiencies of extracellular matrix proteins related with skin diseases while Zhiqi Sun presented the uncoupling role of the intracellular Kank protein family members of integrins, during force transduction.
I was excited to present parts of my PhD thesis, giving insight into the disruptive force of the secreted extracellular matrix protein netrin-4 on basement membranes (read more about my work), and was thrilled to be selected as the winner of the Young Investigator Award.
The Annual Meeting of the German Matrix Society brings the majority of german matrix experts together every year. Moreover, the Society aims to invite outstanding scientists working on extracellular matrix topics and problems. This year we had the chance to see the work of Vivek Malhotra, Barcelona, Spain who provided insight into Collagen secretion; Viola Vogel, Zurich, Switzerland who presented a peptide approach to sense matrix stiffness status within tissues, and Boris Hinz, Toronto, Canada who showed the memory ability of fibrotic matrix.
I would like to thank the whole organising team of the Meeting for some inspiring days.
Using patients' own cells to kill cancer
January 11, 2017 hmfrost Uncategorized
Each patient's tumour will be used for molecular analysis, and for growth as cells and tumors in the lab. The molecular information will be used to decide which family of drugs to test on the patient's cells and tumors in the lab. The results of drug testing will be directly applied to the patient, determining which effective therapies should be administered to the patient. The cells and tumors grown in the lab will also be used for further drug and biological studies, and we will create a platform for future drug development and testing. (Illustration has been adapted from Creixell et al, 2012, Nature Biotechnology)
Cancer patient survival rates in Denmark are among the poorest in Europe, but a new project aims to use personalized medicine to fight back. A number of public and private partners have come together to treat cancer patients with much better accuracy than before, by using patients' own cells to identify the best possible treatment.
The spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body is called metastasis. Metastasis is very complex and often patients with the same type of cancer do not respond to treatment in the same way. This new project, will establish a precision medicine approach to identifying effective treatment options for individual cancer patients with metastatic cancer and involves an already established clinical program at Rigshospitalet where patient tumors are being molecularly profiled.
This 'pre-clinical program for cancer precision medicine' will enable pre-screening of drugs to identify the optimal treatment strategy for each patient, using cells from patients grown in the laboratory and tested with a range of potential anti-cancer drugs. Through the use of patient-derived cells, along with the profiling data to create a personalized treatment strategy, the team is also hopeful they will create a platform for future development of new and targeted drugs in collaboration with pharmaceutical companies.
"With this grant from Innovationsfonden we now have the opportunity to accurately match patients with the treatment option that has the best chance of stopping their cancer in its tracks. For too many patients, treatment for metastatic cancer is not effective yet the side-effects can be devastating. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to bring patients the most effective treatment, and to learn much more about why some medicines work in some but not all situations", says Janine Erler, Professor at the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC), University of Copenhagen.
The project, which will be based at BRIC and Rigshospitalet, is in close collaboration with the pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca, Roche A/S and MSD. BRIC contributes with extensive expertise within the field of metastasis, while the Rigshospitalet team has wide-ranging knowledge and experience in translating findings directly into the clinic to the patients who matter. The pharmaceutical partners contribute their access to a wide catalogue of anti-cancer medications, and their lengthy experience in research and innovation.
Pre-seed funding for anti-metastasis project
November 23, 2016 November 23, 2016 hmfrost Uncategorized
Erlerlab Nov 2016
We have been awarded a Pre-Seed grant by the Novo Nordisk Foundation
The majority of cancer deaths are caused when a primary cancer spreads to different parts of the body, so for a long time we have been interested in preventing this spread (called metastasis). The Novo Nordisk Foundation pre-seed grants are exploratory funds to develop new and life-saving technologies, and the foundation has awarded us a grant to develop new anti-metastatic therapies.
This exciting project means we'll be recruiting a talented postdoc to join our team. If you'd like to know more information at this early stage, please get in touch (janine.erler@bric.ku.dk)
Knæk Cancer grant: one step closer to breaking cancer!
October 7, 2016 hmfrost Uncategorized
Erler Lab, Oct 2016
Kræftens Bekæmpelse, the Danish Cancer Society, has awarded us a new grant to personalise the treatments for patients suffering with relapsed glioblastoma (brain tumours) in Denmark. This grant comes under the Knæk Cancer (or 'Break Cancer') campaign.
Glioblastoma can vary greatly, so it is important to understand how each individual tumour will respond to different treatments. The aim of this project is to analyse patient samples with a range of tests in the laboratory, to discover the best possible treatment for each unique patient. Similar systems are in place in other countries, however this currently doesn't exist in Denmark, so we are hopeful that this project will have a big impact on the lives of those fighting brain cancer.
We are grateful to Kræftens Bekæmpelse for their support in this project. You can learn more about Kræftens Bekæmpelse by visiting their website: www.cancer.dk/
Farewell to Dr Tom Cox
October 1, 2016 October 1, 2016 hmfrost Uncategorized
Janine Erler, Sept 2016
This week we are saying fond farewells to Dr Tom Cox, who has been part of the Erler group for eight and a half years!
Tom was the second person I hired when I set up my own research group. He joined my lab in May 2008 following his PhD, while we were at the Institute of Cancer Research in London. He moved over to BRIC with me in 2012, and has been my right hand man through all the years. During his time in the lab, Tom has contributed to no fewer than 25 peer reviewed publications and has delivered talks to share our research at nearly 20 conferences.
Over the years Tom has been part of some funny, poignant and downright ludicrous moments, including his foray into professional modelling, when he was featured (twice) in Vogue UK.
Tom has made some fantastic discoveries during his time in the group, including insight into how tumours prepare distant sites for metastatic colonisation.
Other memorable moments include when Tom broke his ankle dancing a Ceilidh 🙂
Although we will miss his sharp observations, his witty jokes, and his ability to reach things on high shelves, we are all really pleased that he is heading to sunny Sydney to establish an independent research career at the Garvan Institute. Personally, I will be losing a limb but I will hobble on somehow!
Wishing you all the very best for the future Tom, and please don't forget to come and visit us once in a while!

Q: DataTable setting td overflow after fnDrawCallback i'm trying to give a td an overflow class if its width exceeds normal width.
fnDrawCallback: function(oSettings) {

      docstable.DataTable().column(0).nodes().each(function (cell, i) {
        var $this = $(this).get(0);
        console.log('this     ',$this.scrollWidth)
});

from here i want to be able to measure the td, $this, using $this.offsetWidth & $this.scrollWidth. Unfortunately both are returning 0.
secondly, I don't seem to be able to add classes to the DOM elements even though i can view them in this function. if i console log $this i can see that its a td and i can get the correct value when i run .html().
i need to find out which cells require a tooltip and which don't

Q: Change size of HTML5 canvas drawings but maintain canvas dimensions Here is the scenario:

*

*Suppose the dimensions of the canvas element is set to a max height and max width and obviously does not occupy the entire screen

*We can make drawings made in the canvas larger on events:

   function onMouseMove(e)
   {
      e.preventDefault();
      if (pinching) {
         resizeDrawings();
      }
   }
   function resizeDrawings();
   {
     //stuff happens
     const context = currentCanvas.current.getContext('2d');
     //canvas operations

   }

Basically, i want the canvas to overflow and become scrollable if its own contents become too big to fit on it's own dimensions.


my Problem is, that i have to use the Command Expert Tool without an internet connection.
Therefore i downloaded the offline Command Expert Package from Keysight.
But when i try to install those as describet in the Manual i get the message attached.
"Failed to install command set 'InfiniiVision 6000 Series Oscilloscopes'. Der Typ 'Agilent.CommandExpert.ScpiNet.AgInfiniiVision6000_06_10_0001.SCPI.MEASure.VTIMe.VTIMeClass' definiert bereits einen Member namens 'Query' mit den gleichen Parametertypen."
This happens with all Command sets and is not related to this one set.
I've also tried to install the sets, that are on the original CD, that came with the device itself.
But here i had no luck, too.
Further i tried to reinstall the complete tool, unfortunately no luck.

Alunbrig (brigatinib) is a prescription medicine used to treat people with a specific form of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) metastatic NSCLC, a defect in the ALK genes causes part of the gene to break off and fuse with another gene, which produces an abnormal protein that can cause cells to grow and spread. Alunbrig is used with people whose cancer has spread to other parts of their body, and continues to progress after taking the ALK inhibitor Xalkori (crizotinib). Alunbrig also is used in patients unable to tolerate Xalkori.
This cancer treatment was developed by Ariad Pharmaceuticals, which was then acquired by Takeda. Alunbrig has received accelerated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) after previously receiving designations as a breakthrough therapy and as an orphan drug. A marketing authorization application (MAA) for the drug was submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2017.
Alunbrig works by blocking the proteins made by the abnormal ALK gene. By binding to ALK, Alunbrig reduces its activity and was shown, in pre-clinical trials, to stop cell proliferation and have an anti-tumor effect. Unlike other ALK inhibitors, Alunbrig was able to inhibit 17 altered forms of the ALK protein, overcoming the resistance that tumor cells with mutated ALK present to other existing therapies that are not able to bind to as many variations.
The FDA approval was based on the results of a Phase 2 clinical trial called ALTA (NCT02094573), which demonstrated a clinically meaningful and durable overall response rate in metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC patients. A total of 222 patients were recruited to receive Alunbrig by mouth at either 90 mg once daily, or 90 mg once daily for the first seven days and then at 180 mg once a day.
The overall response rate was 48 percent in the 90 mg group and 53 percent in the other group. The median duration of response to the treatment was 13.8 months in both groups. The most common adverse reactions to Alunbrig treatment were nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, cough, and headache (occurring in at least 25 percent of participants).
Ariad is currently recruiting up to 270 participants to participate in the ALTA-1L study (NCT02737501), a Phase 3 open-label trial to compare the efficacy of Alunbrig treatment to that of Xalkori in ALK-positive advanced NSCLC patients, who have not previously been treated with an ALK inhibitor.
During this trial, participants will be randomly administered either Alunbrig at a dose of 90 mg for seven days, and then 180 mg continuously, or Xalkori at a constant oral dose of 250 mg twice daily. The total estimated duration of the study is at least five years, including two years to recruit patients and at least three years for treatment and follow-up.
Another Phase 2 trial called the ARI-AT-002 trial (NCT02706626) is also currently recruiting 40 ALK-positive advanced NSCLC patients in the U.S. to assess the safety and effectiveness of Alunbrig in patients who have had first-line treatment for their cancer but still worsened. This includes patients whose disease progressed even after or while taking ALK inhibitors, or other anti-cancer drugs that act on tumors.

Q: Javascript prototype and accessing parent object of 'this' In Durandal, I'm working on a page that lists a number of doctors. Each row has a delete button. Here's my View Model:
var Doctor = function() {};

Doctor.Model = function(data) {
  this.id = data.id;
  this.name = ko.observable(data.name);
};

Doctor.prototype.activate = function() {
  this.doctorArr = ko.observableArray();

  // Start Doctor List
  this.load();
};

Doctor.prototype.load = function() {
  // load list into this.doctorArr()
}

Doctor.prototype.remove = function() {
  console.log(this);
};

And here's my View:
<button data-bind="click: remove">Remove Function</button>

     - Delete...

Clicking on the <button> will return:
Doctor {doctorArr: function, activate: function…}
But clicking on the link inside the foreach function will return the model:
Doctor.Model {id: "104", name: function}
The problem is that I can't figure out how to access doctorArr from inside the remove function when 'this' returns the Model. I need it to remove the item.

A: You need to use the method bind to change the 'meaning' of this (the scope) inside the function you are calling. You have some options:
Add the bind to call the ViewModel within the desired scope:

     - Delete...

If you want to remove it without a method in the ViewModel. This will magically remove the item from the array:

     - Delete...

A: The problem is that inside your view model you aren't assigning what 'this' is, so each time you are calling remove it is passing in a different context.
var Doctor = function() {};

Doctor.Model = function(data) {
  var self = this;
  this.id = data.id;
  this.name = ko.observable(data.name);
};

Doctor.prototype.activate = function() {
  var self = this;
  this.doctorArr = ko.observableArray();

  // Start Doctor List
  this.load();
};

Doctor.prototype.load = function() {
  var self = this;
  // load list into this.doctorArr()
}

Doctor.prototype.remove = function() {
  var self = this;
  console.log(this);
};

A: The first argument knockout passes to your event bindings is the root model:
Doctor.prototype.remove = function(model) {
  console.log(model.doctorArr);
};

A fast-paced mystery at ACT
Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is coming to the ACT in Maple Ridge.
Oct. 26, 2016 5:00 a.m.
Kirk Smith and Lauren Bowler in the Arts Club Theatre's production of Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. Below: Lauren Bowler and Alex Zahara and Kirk Smith and Mark Weatherley.
Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is coming to the ACT.
Five actors play 40 characters in the Arts Club Theatre production, which is based on the classic novels by Arthur Conan Doyle, who created the character of Sherlock Holmes.
Billed as a fast-paced farcical adventure, the comical thriller takes place when wealthy Henry Baskerville is threatened by a bloodthirsty hound on the moor.
Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson take up the case.
Although it is a comedy, director John Murphy is still hoping to be able to scare the audience as well by using the most rudimentary of theatrical tools, such as shadow puppetry for the mythical, murderous hound.
The Arts Club Theatre Company was founded in 1964 and is the largest theatre company in Western Canada, the largest not-for-profit urban theatre company in Canada.
Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is coming to the ACT Arts Centre at 8 p.m. on Nov. 5 at 11944 Haney Place.
Running time is two hours, including an intermission.
Tickets are $45 for adults, $40 for seniors and $15 for youth.
• For more information, go to www.theactmapleridge.org or call 604-476-2787.

BNT: GB oil spill is potential environmental disaster
LocalSeptember 9, 2019September 10, 2019 at 6:57 am Genea Noel-Ferguson
BNT Executive Director Eric Carey
Remediation efforts underway, Clarke says
NASSAU, BAHAMAS — Grand Bahama could be facing an "environmental catastrophe" following an oil spill at Equinor — formally known as Statoil — in East Grand Bahama, according to Bahamas Nationa Trust (BNT) Executive Director Eric Carey, who pointed to widespread and long term environmental implications if left unaddressed.
Carey called on government to hold Equinor fully accountable.
"It is our view that Equinor must fund the costs of these assessments [and] all recovery efforts and to establish long-term monitoring programmes to ensure the communities do not suffer from prolonged hydrocarbon exposure," Carey said.
With Grand Bahamians are still reeling from the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Dorian last week, Carey said the top priority should remain on ensuring the wellbeing of people, but he noted that the incident is alarming and could have "catastrophic" implications.
"We have seen photos of oil tanks a few spilling crude over their burns and it appears to be breeched…. so the impact of marine and the environment is great," he said. "This can be a serious environmental disaster that we need to get on top off because this could be catastrophic."
In a statement released late Sunday, executives of the BNT asserted that the spill is has already compromised ground water, polluting it with hydrocarbons that can have a long-lasting impact on communities.
"Oil also kills many plants and animals, especially red mangroves and corals, therefore exacerbating the effects of the hurricane on the nearby ecosystems," read the statement. "This is particularly concerning for the three nearby protected areas, the Lucayan National Park, the Northshore and Gap National Park and the East Grand Bahama Protected Area.
"BNT staff hopes to confirm the extent of the leak that is visible above ground. However, in the quickest time possible, the BNT intends to ensure that proper assessments of the full extent of the spill and impact to the wildlife, and a mapping of the extent of the leak into the ground water."
On Saturday, newly appointed chairman of the National Disaster Committee, John Michael Clarke, noted that government has been in contact with company officials on the reported spill and remediation efforts were underway.
"The company has deployed a vessel containing remediation equipment from a Louisiana Port headed to Grand Bahama and will arrive in 90 hours at the terminal," Clarke said.
He added that a 16-man team flew to Grand Bahama on Sunday morning to begin to contain the spill at the site. Clarke also said the company advised that it has outsourced remediation material from Buckeye, another storage facility on the western end of the island to begin cleanup.
But Carey said given the timeline the damage could be irreversible.
He said, "I think the company must have as a priority to get a hold and on top of [this] thing. If they don't, it will have a long term impact on human health and people. We need to jump on this right away."
Carey said he also anticipates for government's established Oil Spill Committee to be fully engaged in the process.
Calls placed to Minister of the Environment Romauld Ferreira were not returned.
In a statement follow his assessment of Grand Bahama, Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Leader Phillip Davis said there are concerns about a possible risk to the water table, triggering a public health crisis.
He called for an immediate assessment to mitigate against an "environmental catastrophe."

Sam Lucas says:
I drove by there yesterday and they were only cleaning up on their side of the road with big puddles of oil standing on the other side. The day before, they tried to stop me from filming there. I shared the video on my gofundme page for Pelican Point which is the next town over. Hopefully this will show how bad it would be to allow Oban to build on Grand Bahama.

HoP Projects CT20 Is an InnovatIve vIsual arts and cultural platform from the margIns.
It's desIgned to promote a pluralIstIc and IntuItIve understandIng of contemporary culture - transcendIng establIshed dIscIplInes and genres, respondIng to rapId socIal and cultural shIfts, and IncorporatIng the unexpected to create new perspectIves.
HOP Projects CT20 (C.I.C) is an independent, cross-disciplinary and experimental platform for the production, exchange and distribution of the visual arts, installation art, architecture, design and performance.
Established in September 2017, it is a non-profit organisation based in the heart of the Creative Quarter in Folkestone, UK.
It is committed to a unified vision of bringing together the visual arts with theatre, performance, spatial installations, sound and technology that prioritises the development of ideas above pre-defined genres or disciplines. It believes in the urgency in new modes of expressions and pioneering practices that can tear down the barriers between the audience and the 'white walls', making contemporary art relevant and far-reaching to a wider audience.
what we do & how:
We deliver projects with professionalism and efficiency, and above all, an uncompromising commitment to artistic visions and the quality of output.
Through its core programme of projects, residencies and exchange, HOP Projects provides the space, atmosphere and support for national and international artists, who often work in between or at the fringes of their respective disciplines, to develop within a stimulating environment built upon trust, and outside the pressures of commercial forces.
It has the creative and co-operative agility to implement between larger institutions, individual artists and members of the public, working with partners in Folkestone, London, Chile and New York. It is an exchange network of resources, and each production brings together different areas of expertise in a close-knit collaboration.
Projects space:
The Projects space showcases an annual programme of exhibitions, screenings, workshops and public events that reflect its commitment to the nurturing of dialogue and collaboration with members of the public, fellow organisations, schools and universities, so and so forth, engaging the broadest possible audience. The space is open to the public for their individual projects. If you have a project in mind, please get in touch with us.
RESIDENCY & Exchange:
Our Residency and Exchange programme actively collaborates with different cultural agencies to provide the space and support for artists and practitioners to develop new projects and to experiment. Some will explore traditional ways of working and others seek to bend genres into new formats, communicating through form, materials and processes, and by ways of converting these findings into new narratives. During this process, HOP Projects will work closely with individual residents, who are also encouraged to tap into local creative resources, as well as other partners that may shed new light into the way they normally work.

Our black Bathroom lock/cottage door handle style is manufactured in black cast iron with a black epoxy hard-wearing finish. This is suitable for interior or exterior use. The fine-cut out detailing is a unique feature and the cut out effect gives the handles a feeling of lightness like a stained glass window. Each lever handle is sprung allowing it to return to the correct position. The base plate measures 14 cm by 4 cm wide and the handle grip itself is 9 cm long and 2.5 cm across.
These privacy latched handles are designed for locking bathroom or toilet doors and have a one way latch, meaning they can only be locked from one side. On the opposite side of the latch casing is a slot turn which can be opened with a coin in case of emergencies. When you install these handles you will need a privacy lock with a snib bar fitting. These are readily available, but if you do not have one they are available for purchase on this site in The Rustic Merchant accessories area.
Our range of cottage styled door handles are also available with a keyhole if a key is required instead of a privacy latch, as well as without any sort of locking mechanism.
Fixing screws are provided and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor fitting. Two bars are supplied; one for the snib and one for the handle operation.
The three versions of this cottage door handle set will cover all your home needs. As with any lever handles, you can either fit these to new doors or use as a direct replacement for your existing handles.
We have developed this locking handle and it is unique to us.
We are proud of this product and we are sure it will work for you for many years to come.


We know the number of different symbols for public rights of way may get confusing. Below, we have broken down each type for you. Please note, these symbols are taken from our 1:25000 (Explorer) and/or 1:50000 (Landranger) mapping.
The green dashed line (on OS Explorer maps) or pink dashed line (on OS Landranger maps) are footpaths with a public right of way. They are legally protected routes that the public may use by foot. Local authorities hold and maintain the definitive map of Rights of Way in their area and these are the legal documents for the status and alignment of rights of way. If an amendment is required, we rely on Local Authorities to pass this on to us so we can then revise our maps. Footpaths may cross private land, and in such cases the footpath must be kept to as the public only have the right to walk along the footpath. If a landowner wishes to divert a public right of way they must obtain a legal order from their local authority. Footpaths are usually signposted with yellow or green arrows.
As with footpaths, bridleways are legally protected routes that the public can use on foot or on horseback. While cyclists are permitted to use bridleways, the Countryside Act 1968 states there is no obligation to facilitate cyclists on the routes and they must give way to other users. Bridleways are usually signposted with blue arrows.
These are open to all forms of traffic – pedestrians, horse riders, cyclists and car and other motor vehicle drivers. These routes are often marked with red arrows.
On these routes there are restrictions on how you can travel the route. You are permitted to use the route on foot, horseback, bicycle or horse drawn carriage. You cannot use any motorised vehicles along this route.
These are accessible by the public and either join the above rights of way together or suggest how rights of way can be accessed from nearby roads. Their exact nature and accessibility may be unclear so, prior to using one of these routes, you may want to contact the local highway authority to see if they can advise you on any restrictions.
These are routes created by local authorities, Government agencies or volunteer organisations. They mainly follow existing rights of way and are signposted typically by whichever organisation created the route. If the route is also an existing right of way it will be maintained by a local authority. Any sections that are not part of existing rights of way may be maintained by the corresponding organisation. Local authorities give us permission to show these routes, but they may not actively promote the routes or give them priority over other rights of way.
These are longer distance routes and are maintained and signposted through funding from public bodies. Some are only available for walkers while others may also be open to cyclists and horse riders. Each route has a National Trails Officer who is responsible for the coordination of maintenance, improvement and promotion of the route from the ground. They are shown as per recreational routes with either an acorn symbol (for England and Wales) or a thistle symbol (for Scotland) on 1:25000 Explorer mapping.
This footpath takes you over private land and isn't a right of way. The landowner has granted permission for the route to be used by the public, but they also have the right to withdraw that permission if they choose. The path will often be closed for one day a year to protect the landowner against any future claims of continuous public right of way. The date(s) the path is closed should be well signposted in the area.
As with the permissive footpath, a permissive bridleway takes you across private land where the landowner has granted permission for the public to use it. They also have the right to withdraw their permission and will likely close the bridleway for one day each year as above. Permissive footpaths and bridleways are only shown on 1:25000 Explorer mapping.
This is a designated traffic free cycle route. On 1:50000 Landranger mapping, only signposted national or regional off-road routes are shown which are managed by Sustrans. These are represented by green circles and a national (magenta) or regional (blue) cycle network number.
On 1:25000 Explorer mapping, off-road cycle routes are depicted with orange dots (provided they're not coincident with a road, bridleway, permissive bridleway, byway open to all traffic or restricted byway). Those that are part of the National Cycle Network or are a national route have the addition of a red network number.
Only national routes which are signposted and managed by Sustrans are shown on our mapping. On 1:50000 Landranger mapping, they're shown with green dots and a network number as above. On 1:25000 Explorer mapping, on-road national cycle routes are shown only with a solid red box.
This could be a military firing range and the warning notices around the area should be observed and adhered to. You can contact the Ministry of Defence ahead of your trip to find out about access to a specific area.
Again, this could be a military firing range and the warning notices around the area should be followed. Access is restricted and managed in this area and similarly, you can contact the Ministry of Defence to find out about access to a specific area.
On our 1:25000 maps for England and Wales, some areas are shaded in yellow. This is open access land and within this area, you are free to roam. On 1:50000 Landranger mapping this is shown with a purple banding which includes symbols to differentiate between land owned by the National Trust, Forest Commission and Natural Resources Wales. Although there are footpaths and trails running across this land, you do not have to stick to them if you don't want to.
This is access land associated with the England Coast Path which, by its very nature, is sometimes steep, unstable and may not be readily accessible. The areas have a pink half-moon boundary on 1:25000 maps with a pale pink tint. Look out for local signage regarding access restrictions related to private property, cropped land and areas of marsh and mudflats.
The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 gives the public the right to be on or cross any land for recreational, educational and other named purposes. There may be circumstances where you get permission from the landowners but, providing you are considerate and respectful of the land you're traversing, you have the right to roam when walking, cycling or horse riding. You have the right to walk your dog too providing they're kept under control. You are not permitted on any land for hunting, shooting, fishing or using motorised vehicles. From your OS map, you will be able to see where land may belong to the National Trust for Scotland, Forestry Commission or Woodland Trust. There may be limited access in some of these area, but local signs will instruct you. In addition, access land owned by the National Trust, Forest Commission or Woodland Trust will have purple band and appropriate symbol.
If you come across a blocked right of way, your first port of call should be the Rights of Way Officer (or similar) at the relevant local authority. They will hold the definitive list of the rights of way in that area and should be able to advise or help clear the route. Then, if required, they will contact us so we can update our maps.
Now you know where you can and can't go – have fun exploring Great Britain with our maps!

New York, NY – United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) on Wednesday applauded Layher for ending its business in Iran.
This month Layher, a German construction group, contacted UANI in response to a notice it received from California's Department of General Services. As the Financial Times reported this week, California has been notifying state contractors which have reportedly done business in Iran that they potentially will be barred from state government contracts under the terms of California's 2010 Iran Contracting Act legislation.
Layher entered into discussions with UANI and agreed to sign UANI's Iran Business Declarationcertifying that it has ended all business in Iran and will forego any future business there. UANI will now list Layher as withdrawn on the Iran Business Registry (IBR), which California has been using to vet state contractors.

Since 2011, Mar Vista Elementary has utilized the technology curriculum and support by PlanetBravo. For the first five years of the formal program at the school, our students attended weekly technology classes once a week from the comfort of their desks as the PlanetBravo instructor rotated to each classroom with a MacBook cart. Students completed PlanetBravo's standard tech curriculum that focuses on the fundamentals of today's most important and relevant technology use. Not only did the standard curriculum focus on digital citizenship, word processing, proper internet navigation and research, but it also explored multimedia and computer science technologies such as Scratch, podcasting, video editing, graphic design, and much more.
In 2016, Mar Vista built a state-of-the-art computer lab, and PlanetBravo began facilitating their "advanced" curriculum with Grades 2-5. (TK, K, and 1st Grade still work on the fundamental curriculum). In this new format of technology class, students attend the lab for consecutive days in rotations so they can focus on, and complete, higher level projects such as coding languages, engineering (robotics), 3D modeling and animation, and web design, to name a few.
To follow the curriculum week by week, visit PlanetBravo's lesson page here: www.planetbravo.com/mvweek.


Incredible opportunity to purchase a piece of La Plata County history on the Florida River, but with many modern amenities! The new Helen's Country Liquor Store was built in 2016-2017 and opened in May of 2017. The owners have expanded their selection to include basic grocery items and seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables, quickly becoming a common stop for commuters and Vallecito and Lemon Reservoir visitors. Take a break from running the store to enjoy fishing the approximately 1300' stretch of the Florida River right outside of the front door. The beautiful log structure is a perfect combination of rustic charm and modern convenience. The current owners have been through the Class II permit process with La Plata County, which allows for commercial use. The Conceptual Development Plan includes the existing liquor store business, and future plans for a restaurant overlooking the Florida River. The engineered septic system was built to include the needs of the future restaurant. A heated parking lot makes it easy to keep the spaces clear for customers during the winter. Irrigation rights through a Waring Irrigation Pump pull .2 CFS (just shy of 100 gallons/minute per DWR) from the Florida River when in priority. A large 3 car garage and workshop, multiple sheds and a barn allow for plenty of storage on the property. There is currently a mobile home on the property that is bringing in rental income, but will eventually need to be sold/removed per La Plata County. The original Helen's Store may continue to be used for storage purposes. Don't miss this opportunity to own a rare piece of commercially designated riverfront land and growing business! **Please call Division of Water Resources and La Plata County to satisfy any information needed about the water rights and/or Class II permit.
