OLINVILLE — Volunteers descended into the the Bronx River Forest, a section of dense, old-growth woods surrounding the Bronx River north of the New York Botanical Garden, Tuesday morning armed with rubber boots, gardening gloves, shovels and bug spray.
The group crossed a shallow section of the river onto an island and got ready to tackle one of the forest's biggest threats: the Japanese Knotweed. It's a plant so invasive it can grow up to 10 feet in height and spread so quickly that it crowds out native plant species.
"It kind of takes over wherever it grows," said Arlon Pinckney, of the Parks Department group Natural Areas Volunteers. "It doesn't really allow anything else to grow."
In it's first year of operation, NAV organizes and trains residents and community groups to help maintain and improve the city's vast expanse of parkland, hosting weekly restoration projects across the city, like weeding or tree-planting. The program aims to connect residents with their local ecosystems, and give them the opportunity to perform a different kind of volunteer work.
"A lot of people were going to soup kitchens and other urban settings," said NAV leader Matt Genrich. "Our idea is really to get people outside, to really get their hands dirty."
Along the Bronx River, that means managing the prevalent knotweed plant, which covers the forest floor along the river's bank, recognizable by its broad green leaves, pinkish stems and thick, bamboo-like stalks.
Knotweed can increase riverbank erosion and shade out other species of trees and plants, which the city and other local environmental groups have painstakingly planted in the area over the last several years as part of a larger, ongoing effort to revitalize the Bronx River. The Parks Department works continuously to combat knotweed, sending out teams to chop and uproot the plants every few weeks.
"This is a process that takes many, many years," Genrich said, adding that they may never totally eradicate knotweed from the area. But its maintenance is still of the utmost importance.
On Tuesday, NAV volunteers used shovels the dig the plants out by their roots, filling bucket after bucket.
Bronx resident Angel Camareno was among those helping out. He'd seen an ad calling for NAV volunteers online and decided to join the group.
"Someone has to pick up the gauntlet," he said, adding that this stretch of Bronx River is part of his daily walking path. "It's given me so much pleasure, so it's a small thing to do."
Sky Khan and her 4-year-old son, Nash Flammang, came all the way from Manhattan to help out because they couldn't find a comparable, kid-friendly volunteer project in their own neighborhood.
"We've been talking about volunteer opportunities, talking about saving the earth, helping the environment," Khan said.
Nilka Martell, who runs the Parkchester-based beautification nonprofit G.I.V.E, is a frequent volunteer, and considers herself a Bronx River regular. She and her two children started helping out a few years ago after Martell lost her job as a paralegal and, unable to find work right away, decided to spend her spare time giving back.
"I wasn't getting any calls back," she said. "I was bored."
Shovel in hand, Martell recalled the Bronx River of her youth — a very different river than the one that exists today.
"I grew up here. My whole life, this river was absolutely disgusting," she said, remembering a waterway clogged with debris and garbage, abandoned cars and refrigerators.
Over the last decade, thanks to the efforts of local advocacy groups like the Bronx River Alliance, the waterway has been transformed into an urban oasis and a popular spot for canoeing, walking, bike-riding and other recreation.
Still, Martell says not everyone knows about the environmental gem in the borough's own backyard.
"I still get e-mails asking me, 'Where is the Bronx River?'" she laughed.

Hi guys,
We are gmt +1. What are the times you can play?
Sunday would be good for us.
Straya|B, concentrate on this match right now as it's the one in the proper week
we are a mix of GMT +7/10/12. best days for us are Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 7 - 12 GMT.
Sorry thought we vs RVK this week as they posted so far in advance.
sunday (tomorrow) 12 gmt confirmed
Will need to confirm with my team first that they all can make it.
Sadly we can not do 12GMT tonight. How about Friday 12GMT?
that is really bad, we planed to play today or this weekend at all. Since the times are midday for us, it would be good if you can take more consideration.
I will ask my mates for friday, but please tell another time on the next weekend.
No problem, will ask what time ranges people can do for weekend coming up.
Would Sat 12GMT work?
ill take a look. You have any times on sunday?
I will see what we can do, but Sunday GMT is Basically Monday for us in Australia and a lot of us have work/other duties and can not afford to stay up that late Sunday/early Monday.
sunday 11 gmt?
"but Sunday GMT is Basically Monday for us in Australia and a lot of us have work/other duties and can not afford to stay up that late Sunday/early Monday."
We have work.
Sat 11GMt would work better
you dont write a time like you did already before, i dont get what time is too late for you.
in your time range you gave us first, sunday 11 gmt was okay...
ill ask if we can make it 10 gmt on sunday
10 gmt is possible aswell
My bad, those are total playing times and we have some members who can not play this sunday.
How about Sunday 7GMT? that would allow us to finish games intime.
I Think 2 hours is enough to play 2 Games. 7 GMT is impossible for us, 10gmt is earliest we can do. Lets do it 10 GMT on sunday? We come early and have 2 hours, should be fine
10GMT confirmed.
Gl&hf! Do you guys know if there will be some PoV stream available?
Yes we will do

When Clyde Christensen interacts with Ryan Tannehill, the Dolphins' new offensive coordinator tries to channel Randy Newman.
Christensen's message: You've got a friend in me.
"It's a lonely position in this league," Christensen said Thursday. "It's lonely in the locker room, it's lonely on the street. It's hard to find friends. It's kind of a unique position.
"So I always felt like the No. 1 job I have is to be an ally, to be a safe place where a guy can talk and communicate and have a relationship where you can bounce things off and generate ideas."
If Christensen's deeds match his words, he's already an upgrade over the Dolphins' previous offensive coordinator.
Bill Lazor was fired midseason, in large part, because of his dysfunctional relationship with Tannehill. The Dolphins quarterback couldn't audible and had very little input in the game plan.
Christensen, introduced to South Florida media Thursday, seems determined not to repeat those mistakes.
"I visited with him and his wife [Lauren] when I came in for the interview and had a great breakfast with them," Christensen said. "I've been extremely impressed with him. He's been extremely productive and he's played some awful long stretches of good football and seems to have all the things you're looking for: a guy who wants to be good, who has it in perspective. I'm really looking forward to seeing him on the field a little bit."
Christensen will be able to focus all his energy on jump-starting Tannehill because he won't call plays. Adam Gase will.
But his fingerprints will be all over the Dolphins' system, which will have elements of what the Colts and Broncos ran with Peyton Manning.
That's the tie between Gase and Christensen, who never coached together. But both coached Manning, who is headed to his fourth Super Bowl.
And while Gase has not shed much light on what his system will look like in Miami, Christensen filled in some of the blanks Thursday.
"The attraction to this job is I really enjoyed those years in Indy where we were aggressive, we were no-huddle, the players had fun," Christensen said. "I would say this is the way I'd like to play. We did it an awful lot of years in Indy and it's kind of fun. There's always something new. … It's wide open and you spread them out and you pop some runs in there. I like this style of play."
All three Dolphins coordinators spoke with reporters Thursday — Christensen, Vance Joseph and Darren Rizzi. Joseph will run the defense after coaching the Bengals' defensive backs; Rizzi will again lead the Dolphins special teams.
Takeaways from their time with reporters:
▪ Joseph, who will run a 4-3 defense, said his philosophy is "built with rushers and corners. If you can rush the passer and cover outside it helps the schematics during game weeks."
▪ Joseph wants Brent Grimes — whose play dipped in 2015 — back in Miami for a fourth season.
"I hope, because he's been a really good player in the past and, again, having corners who can cover outside is vital to playing great defense," Joseph said. "He's still a corner in this league that can compete with the best receivers and that's important for us to have."
▪ Joseph has a plan to get more out of Ndamukong Suh, who missed the Pro Bowl for just the second time in his career.
"We can help him get some more single-block, more one-on-one opportunities because if not he's going to get doubled every play," Joseph said. "We've got some ways to do those things but I won't share those right now."
▪ Rizzi said he was "thrilled" to be back in Miami for an eighth season — which, in his mind, was no sure thing. Rizzi said he was under contract for another year, but "when the head coach gets fired after four games," doubt can creep in.
▪ Rizzi is one of nine assistants from Joe Philbin's staff retained by Gase. He pushed back against the narrative that perhaps nine were too many.
"From where I sit, there were 17 coaches from last year who won't be back," Rizzi said. "I'm as excited going in with this new coaching staff as I've ever been. … [Gase] has put a great coaching staff together."

In 1984, the U.S. government sent me to a town in north central Liberia as a Peace Corps volunteer. I was supposed to help Liberians and strengthen the friendship between our two countries. At that time, hundreds of Peace Corps volunteers were assigned to Liberia, a nation founded in the 19th Century by free American blacks, and a small but stalwart U.S ally during the Cold War.
The U.S. provided a third of the annual budget to Liberia's government. "America is our Ma and our Pa," Liberians said. But in 1990, when civil war swept across Liberia and rebels and government soldiers alike began butchering civilians, America abandoned its child. A U.S. ship evacuated Americans, then simply sailed away, leaving Liberians to 13 years of death and misery.

Nuclear Reactors
The nuclear industry is more than 50 years old. Its history is replete with a colossal financial disaster and a multitude of near-misses and catastrophic accidents like Three Mile Island and Chornobyl. Beyond Nuclear works to expose the risks and dangers posed by an aging and deteriorating reactor industry and the unproven designs being proposed for new construction.
Millstone first US reactor to exam at-risk Creusot component but avoids conclusive testing
Dominion Energy's Millstone Unit 2 in Waterford, CT became the first and still only of seventeen U.S. reactors with at-risk Creusot Forge components to voluntarily inspect its reactor pressurizer manufactured at France's controversial Creusot Forge. An Utrasonic Test (UT) enhanced visual examination found no signs of defects or cracking on the 11-year old replacement part. The Creusot Forge, owned by AREVA, is under investigation for the manufacture and global marketing of reactor components weakened by excess carbon contamination and falsifying quality assurance documentation. Beyond Nuclear has been pushing US operators and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) through an emergency enforcement petition to do the enhanced visual inspections and more important material testing to determine the carbon content in the steel of the Creusot components. Dominion is not planning to do any material testing that would provide a quantitative measure of the carbon content which can weaken the component and potentially fail during operation.
Media attention and public concern in part generated by the Beyond Nuclear petition prompted the State of Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to request that Dominion hire an independent contractor to conduct an Ultrasonic Test (UT) to conduct an enhanced visual inspection for cracking and defects on the reactor component. The UT results, announced April 11, 2017, found no evidence of cracking or a defect in the stainless-steel component. However, Beyond Nuclear and it co-petitioners are arguing that the UT exam would not have provided any data on the controversial root cause, excess carbon contamination or "carbon macrosegregation," that can only be detected by material testing samples of the components' elemental chemistry. The presence of excessive carbon in steel once under the harsh operational environment of a nuclear power plant leaves it vulnerable to rapid tearing and cracking of the large forged reactor vessels, reactor vessel replacement heads, steam generators and pressurizers resulting in a potentially catastrophic loss of coolant accident.
Newly surfaced documents authored in 2005 and 2006 by France's nuclear safety agency (ASN) publicly released by a French news agency reveal that the French nuclear industry, EdF and AREVA, knew that the Creusot Forge had serious manufacturing discrepancies coupled with loss of control of quality assurance and proceeded with the manufacturing and global marketing of suspected at-risk components anyways. The director of ASN was "blown away" by the negligence he witnessed during his personal inspection of the forge. Millstone 2 received and installed its replacement reactor pressurizer from Creusot in 2006.
A January 2017 ASN-led multinational inspection report as described by its head of nuclear equipment, Remy Catteau, found that the AREVA-Creusot Forge was "Ill-equipped" to manufacture nuclear-grade components for the industry. In a Reuter news service interview, Catteau explained that the Creusot Forge's limited technology had resulted in manufacturing errors (carbon macrosegregation) and "One of the ways to resolve problems was to hide things, and that was the wrong way."
U.S. reactors at risk: French regulator says Creusot Forge "ill-equipped" to make nuke components where safety-related "errors are made"
Following an international inspection tour of France's Areva-Creusot Forge led by the country's top reactor safety agency (ASN), the head of the agency's nuclear equipment division declared, "The tools at its disposal are not adequate to manufacture such huge components. In such a situation, errors are made." Seventeen U.S. reactors are known to have received and installed Creusot components including reactor pressure vessels, replacement pressure vessel heads, steam generators and pressurizers. All of these components make up critical safety systems for the reactor pressure-coolant boundary. The Creusot Forge failed to adequately document that its manufacturing process was in control of the introduction of carbon anomalies which left unchecked will weaken the finished components to cracking, embrittlement and rapid tearing under operational conditions. The "carbon macro-segregation" defect is identified in the Creusot-manufactured reactor pressure vessel installed at the Flamanville Unit 3 nuclear construction project in France.
The ASN announcement came only days after Beyond Nuclear appeared before the U.S. counterpart, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Petition Review Board calling for emergency enforcement action at the U.S. reactors that have installed at-risk components manufactured at the Creusot Forge. The Creusot Forge, now owned by Areva, is under international investigation for manufacturing substandard safety-related components and then covering up their mistakes by falsifying quality assurance documentation. The NRC maintains that the safety of U.S. reactors or the reliability of their installed Creusot components are not in question. However, Beyond Nuclear and co-petitioners are pressing for U.S. reactors with at-risk components to be shut down for inspection and material testing of the carbon anomaly in the installed components. Alternatively, the petitioners have requested that the inspections and testing be required at the reactors' next regularly scheduled outage. The Virginia-based Dominion Energy has scheduled the requested inspection and material testing of the Creusot-manufactured pressurized installed in the Millstone Unit 2 reactor in Waterford, CT during the upcoming Spring 2017 refueling outage. Beyond Nuclear continues to pursue the NRC to require independent inspections and material testing of Creusot components in the 16 other at-risk units.
Beyond Nuclear testifies on at-risk Creusot Forge components in US reactors, NRC backs off statement on parts for Beaver Valley Unit 2
The crisis in confidence for qualified safety margins in US reactors continues at 17 US reactors that have installed reactor pressure vessels, steam generators and pressurizers of questionable quality that were manufactured at France's Creusot Forge now owned by AREVA. On March 8, 2017, Paul Gunter with the Beyond Nuclear Reactor Oversight Project provided his testimony before a Petition Review Board of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission in follow-up to its January 24, 2017 petition requesting emergency enforcement action at these U.S. reactors. The petition jointly filed by safe energy advocates asks that the NRC suspend operations at US reactors identified with reactor pressure vessel, steam generators and pressurizers manufactured by the AREVA-Creusot Forge in France until those parts can be inspected and material tested for "carbon anomalies" that can weaken the components to the point of failure and a nuclear accident. French nuclear regulators required the shutdown of their reactor fleet for inspections and testing as French courts continue to review allegations of Creusot counterfeit quality control documentation.
Drawing from a Greenpeace France report, Gunter elaborated on the manufacturing process that can introduce minute but significant carbon contamination into the steel ingots which if not subjected to strenuous quality control and quality assurance can change the material quality of steel and incorporate the weakness into the component. Beyond Nuclear further introduced a February 15, 2017 news article from the Pennsylvania publication TimesOnline where US NRC Region 1 Public Affairs Officer Neil Sheehan "confirmed" FirstEnergy Nuclear Corporation's Beaver Valley Unit 2, an apparent 18th reactor, to also have at-risk Creusot components. Mr. Sheehan stated for the record that FirstEnergy was delaying the installation of the Creusot replacement parts amidst the international controversy. The Petitioner's concern focused on AREVA's apparent failure to identify and track the Creusot components at Beaver Valley Unit 2 and failure to report to the NRC as they had been requested. Following the Petition Review Board hearing, Mr. Sheehan contacted Beyond Nuclear and the TimesOnline publication to say that he had been mistaken and that there really are no Creusot components in Beaver Valley Unit 2. What Mr. Sheehan had originally "confirmed" for the TimesOnline was in fact misinformed hearsay. Exasperating. There is already enough international intrigue surrounding the forged components with forged quality assurance documentation. Now we have an example of the NRC's unsubstantiated remarks to the press. It does nothing to build confidence that neither the agency nor the industry are accurately capturing a factual record for critical safety margins that remain in operating nuclear power stations.
Beyond Nuclear continues its investigation into the AREVA-Creusot Forge controversy and impacts US reactors.
NRC identifies US reactors with at-risks parts from controversial French forge but balks at site-specific inspections and testing for defects
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has released the names of 17 units at US nuclear power reactors as previously requested by Greenpeace and Beyond Nuclear that currently rely upon large reactor components (reactor pressure vessels, pressure vessel heads, steam generators and pressurizers) manufactured at the controversial Areva Le Creusot Forge in France. The Creusot Forge is currently under investigation in France and throughout Europe for allegedly falsifying quality assurance documentation for the large components with potential manufacturing defects that make them susceptible to cracking and rapid tearing under extremely high pressure during operation. The manufacture defects arise out of the introduction of excess carbon during the forging process of the large steel ingots used to cast the nuclear grade industrial parts.
Beyond Nuclear has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the NRC and is also preparing a petition to the agency requesting emergency enforcement action to suspend reactor power operations pending inspection and material testing of the at-risk components. Nuclear regulatory agencies in Europe are similarly requiring unscheduled reactor shutdowns for inspections and material testing of the Le Creusot components at reactor sites in France, Switzerland, Finland and elsewhere.
Those US reactors most recently identified by NRC with at-risk Le Creusot Forge components include:
Reactor Pressure Vessels:
Prairie Island 1 & 2 (MN)
Replacement Reactor Pressure Vessel Heads:
Arkansas Nuclear One 2 (AR)
Beaver Valley 1 (PA)
North Anna 1 & 2 (VA)
Surry 1 (VA)
Steam Generators:
Beaver Valley 1 (PA)
Comanche Peak 1 (TX)
V.C. Summer (SC)
Farley 1 & 2 (AL)
South Texas 1 & 2 (TX)
Sequoyah 1 (TN)
Watts Bar 1 (TN)
(Areva is providing NRC with additional information on US reactors with Le Creusot steam generator channel heads forged from large ingots in January 2017)
Reactor Steam Pressurizers:
Millstone 2 (CT)
Saint Lucie 1 (FL)
The NRC presently maintains that the agency is "confident" that the identified US reactors do not have any "immediate safety concerns" and can continue full power operations without being subjected to unscheduled shutdowns for inspection and material testing of the at-risk components as is occurring at European reactor sites.
Commissioned by Greenpeace, Large & Associates has published an in-depth analysis of the potential hazard raised by the Le Creusot Forge controversy.

Bad news for "Mad Men" fans who thought they were watching a five-season documentary -- Don Draper is not a real person. We know, we know -- your mind has been blown.
On June 8, Tom Scocca's Slate article, "Don Draper's Shocking Secret: He Doesn't Exist," blew the lid off that secret for good, and managed to anger some of the show's fans.
Twitter user Eric Thurm called the article "one of the most condescending things" he'd ever read, while Dov Friedman, called it "aggressively awful."
In the article, Scocca explains that "Don Draper is a made-up person inside your television set. He is a pattern of lit-up dots moving in front of your eyes for one hour, on Sundays, during the season run of the Mad Men program, which mercifully ends this weekend."
Though viewers of the AMC drama are more than aware that Draper, his family and advertising company Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce are all born out of the mind of the show's creator Matt Weiner, Scocca is not convinced because of how often the show is referenced in the news. He says he is perplexed by how often other writers have chosen to use a pop culture reference to help explain a concept or event.
"What's wrong with 'Mad Men' isn't that it makes you boring. What's wrong with 'Mad Men' is that it also makes you stupid," he wrote, before listing an excerpt from a 2011 column in the business section of The New York Times:
As more and more women have come into the work force, corporate America has made significant, if agonizingly slow, progress in making sure its attitudes and the conduct of its leadership reflect those changes. It's no longer a ''Mad Men'' world where women are expected to fetch coffee and whiskey and service their bosses in other ways.
Much to Scocca's chagrin, "Mad Men" has become synonymous with the '60s and Don Draper its foremost figure -- but what he's really angry about his the fact that fans and writers won't shut up about it.
After listing five articles that reference the show he explains:
"What's remarkable -- almost miraculous -- about these 'Mad Men' references is how universally, completely meaningless they are. I belong to the 99 percent of the American public that does not watch 'Mad Men,' yet there's nothing about the Don Draper comparisons that is lost on me."
It's true "Mad Men" is not the country's most watched program -- that title belongs to NBC's Sunday Night Football, which averaged 20.7 million viewers each game this season. But no one seemed to explain to Scocca that a football analogy doesn't quite work when writing about slow changes to the sexist attitudes in corporate America.

Parenteral anticoagulants such as unfractionated heparin, low-molecular weight heparins, fondaparinux or bivalirudin are recommended in the first hours to days of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In the era prior to acute percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), long-term oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) was proven beneficial in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) (1). However, the introduction of early PCI with stenting and the results of the CURE study (2) boosted the use of dual antiplatelet therapy in ACS. As triple therapy with aspirin, clopidogrel and VKA is associated with an increased risk of bleeding (3), the use of VKA has never become routine therapy following ACS. The new oral anticoagulants (direct thrombin and factor Xa inhibitors) pose several advantages over VKA (4). The use of VKA is complicated by a narrow therapeutic window, a slow onset and offset, and several food and drug interactions. Moreover, it requires careful monitoring, which is not necessary with the new oral anticoagulants targeting thrombin or factor Xa. These drugs have been evaluated in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism and in patients with atrial fibrillation. So far, results are very promising. Their potential benefit in the treatment of ACS is currently being investigated (4). The RUBY-1 trial reported by PG Steg et al. is a well-conducted double-blind, randomised trial evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a new oral factor Xa inhibitor, darexaban, after ACS. Six different dosing regimens of darexaban were tested against placebo for 26 weeks in patients with ACS. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of major bleeding, but other safety measures such as liver toxicity were also investigated. As a secondary endpoint ischaemic events were recorded. The 1,279 ACS patients were randomized as soon as possible after discontinuation of parenteral antithrombotic therapy (median randomization at day four). More than 70% were ST-elevation MI patients and around 75% of all patients underwent PCI prior to inclusion. Median age was 56 years and only about 20% were women. More than 96% of the patients were on dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel. Patients with active bleeding during the first days were excluded, as were patients with recent stroke/transitoric ischaemic attack (less than 12 months prior to index event) or with renal creatinine clearance of <60 mL/min. Major and non-major clinically relevant bleeding was recorded and adjudicated by an independent committee during the 26-week study participation. In the placebo group the bleeding rate was 3.1% of which almost all occurred within the first 90 days. Bleeding rates were higher in all darexaban groups and revealed a clear dose-response relationship (6.2, 6.5 and 9.3% for 10, 30 and 60 mg daily, respectively). In the darexaban groups, bleeding events continued to accumulate after 90 days. There was no significant difference in bleeding events for patients receiving darexaban once or twice daily. No cases of fatal bleeding or intracranial haemorrhage were reported in any study group. Adverse events leading to discontinuation of the study drug were more frequent in the groups receiving the high-dose regimens of darexaban. No decrease in ischaemic event rates was shown with darexaban versus placebo, but the study was underpowered to evaluate efficacy. Darexaban showed good tolerability with no major adverse effects and with no signs of liver toxicity. In accordance with previous phase II trials, this study confirms that oral factor Xa inhibitors confer an excess bleeding rate when administered on top of aspirin and aspirin plus clopidogrel. In the phase II APPRAISE trial, apixaban was associated with an excess bleeding rate, particularly in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy (6), and the larger phase III study APPRAISE-2 has recently been terminated prematurely after recruitment of 7392 patients because of a significant increase in major bleeding events with apixaban in the absence of a counterbalancing reduction in recurrent ischemic events (7). Also, in the ATLAS trial, a phase II trial in which the addition of the factor Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban was tested against placebo, bleeding rates were decisive. Among ACS patients receiving either aspirin monotherapy or dual antiplatelet therapy a dose-dependent increase in bleeding events was reported (8). However, compared with placebo, rivaroxaban was associated with a significant reduction in the secondary end point: the composite of death, myocardial infarction and stroke (8). In ACS patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy, careful dosing of factor Xa inhibitors is crucial in order to successfully balance on the cutting edge of thrombosis and bleeding. This dilemma will be emphasized in the years to come, as the more potent platelet P2Y12 inhibitors such as prasugrel and ticagrelor are entering the scene. These drugs are more efficacious than clopidogrel, but are also more prone to cause bleeding. The RUBY-1 trial investigators wisely tested several dosing regimens of darexaban and the results support that the lower dose should be used in future studies on ACS patients. The number of ischaemic events is highest in the first weeks to months after ACS (2) and as the excess bleeding rate with darexaban in RUBY-1 was less pronounced during the first 3 months of therapy, it might be worthwhile to consider shorter treatment duration of darexaban in future ACS studies. A large phase III trial, the ATLAS-ACS 2 TIMI 51 with the 2 lowest doses of rivaroxiban found in ATLAS to be associated with a trend toward improved efficacy is currently ongoing. More than 15,000 patients will be included to evaluate if factor Xa-inhibition on top of single or dual antiplatelet therapy is safe and may improve ischaemic outcome (9). Clearly, the concern is that a reduction in ischaemic events with the addition of oral factor Xa inhibition to dual antiplatelet therapy might be outbalanced by an increase in bleeding. Hopefully, future studies will enable the identification of the right combinations of drugs for the right patients in order to further improve clinical outcomes in the setting of ACS. References: 1.

Democratic convention developments are coming hot and heavy — very hot if you count a midday outdoor news conference announcing the details of the Sept. 1 media party that will see an estimated 15,000 journalists eating, drinking and watching as local and national acts perform. Time Warner Cable is the event's main sponsor, with a host of other local businesses involved (full list here). Mert's Heart and Soul owner James Bazzelle assured me there will be banana pudding on the menu.
That might be enough to lure Bill Clinton, though he's been watching his diet lately. The big announcement is that the former president will formally place President Obama's name into nomination on Sept. 5, a sign, as I pointed out in the Washington Post, that both men want to win. Their relationship has been testy at times, but they've made peace since the 2008 primary fight between Obama and Hillary Clinton, who as Secretary of State will be staying away from the partisan Democratic Party's party. A full-throated endorsement by the popular Bill Clinton in his home region will be more than enough to draw a crowd.
The lineup of convention speakers is settling in. Vice President Biden's speech will precede the president's on Sept. 6, the final night of the convention, at Bank of America Stadium. Elizabeth Warren will take time away from campaigning in her tough race against Sen. Scott Brown in Massachusetts to speak in prime time before Clinton. First lady Michelle Obama is scheduled for a Sept. 4 opening night slot to offer, as convention chairman and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said in a statement, "unique insights into the president as a husband, father and a leader over the last four years."
That night, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro will be the first Latino keynote speaker at a Democratic National Convention. The 37-year-old, serving his second term, follows other Texans, including Gov. Ann Richards and former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, in that role. And his background as the son of a single mother who earned degrees from Stanford and Harvard bears some resemblance to that of the 2004 convention keynote, Barack Obama. Heard of him?
On Tuesday, the Obama campaign launched a smartphone app available for iPhones now and for Android devices soon, to shore up grassroots organizing and provide information on everything from state-by-state voter registration rules to details on the president's plans for health care and the economy.
Still to be announced is information on progress toward the $36.6 million needed for the convention.

Dr. Roy Cullimore: Closing Comments
And we can now much better project the rate of which the Titanic is going to degrade. It is always a surprise to me that as a retired career professor, and no longer associated with the university and my career become my dreams. I don't have to think I need to be validated because someone says this is good. If I want to do it. I'll do it. In that respect the work on the Titanic that I have been doing over the last forty years validates that. I have been called the slime scientist, which I call an honor because slimes are such yucky things and would there ever any science in there? Science is in serious trouble. We've become so linear and we never look to the left or look to the right and we never understand quite enough the other sciences. My degrees are in agriculture where you have to understand all aspects of various sciences in order to operate in agriculture. It's a fortuitous advantage and I think we are going to have to go back to that. We are going to have to stop dreaming of going back to the DNA stars and coming down to reality. We live here and we don't want to become extinct. What are we as a species going to collectively do to make us feel comfortable about what we are doing and how it can be good for the planet.
For students following a career it science, first of all science is not hard and narrow. If you want to have a real impact in science, don't forget to breathe and create and above all else innovate.

Student view
I'm currently a second year Dance student at the University. After my final year I plan on travelling the world and discovering what dance means to different individuals in different cultures. I'm in charge of running the blog for the dance department, so to stay up to date with everything that's happening this year, and see what our talented staff members and students have been getting up to - give the blog a follow!
Course content
The first year of study will enable you to undertake a daily dance technique class in contemporary, ballet, fitness, Feldenkrais and ballet. This is then supported by introductory approaches to dance analysis, somatic practices and research methods. Modules such as Muscles and Movement in Dance will enable you to be introduced to the basic concepts of anatomy and biomechanics and how they relate to human movement and performance. Applications of Psychology in Dance will enable you to start investigate elements of the psychology of human behaviour in exercise and performance. Fundamental to all of this, is the physiological understanding in relation to the moving body and the dance artist. To do this, it is essential to examine the structures and functions of the skeletal, neuromuscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, digestive and thermoregulatory systems.
From level 5, you will be able to progress onto either the Applied Performance route or the Health and Well Being route and here you will have the opportunity to select specific modules that you are interested including:
- Applied Performance route - Repertory/Improvisation & Performance/Psychology of Physical Activity and Health/Nutritional Aspects in Health and Disease
- Health and Wellbeing route - The Dancer's Body/Body Stories/Clinical Exercise Physiology/Biomechanics in Sport and Exercise.
Central to both routes is the research methods, laboratory testing and studio practice.
At level 6, you will working increasingly in an autonomous way with a double weighted Research Project, which could, for example, mean that you are working alongside the undergraduate dance company 3Fall Dance Company to explore aspects such as an individual case study or the specific demands of an individual professional choreographer or touring fatigue. You also have the opportunity to undertake a work placement and this could be with a community dance group or a dance company.
Other module options for the level 6 Applied Performance route include Biomechanical Techniques, Training Strategies for Sport Performance, Nutritional Strategies for Sports Performance, Teaching Dance Technique, Dance Placement, Teaching Dance and Creative Practice, Body Image and Performance.
Module options for the level 6 Health and Wellbeing route include Dance Technique, Dance Movement Psychotherapy, Teaching Dance Technique, Teaching Dance and Creative Practice, Body Image and Performance, Psychology of Injury and Rehabilitation, Exercise and Physical Activity Interventions, Physical Activity Obesity and Diabetes, Cardiovascular Rehabilitation.
- A Levels (or combination with AS/EPQ/BTEC/Cambridge Technical): UCAS tariff 104-120, normally to include a science-based subject at Grade C. (Note: MSci requires BBB or ABC)
- equivalent portfolio of relevant dance training and subject knowledge, for example RAD, vocational dance training or EPQ
- BTEC/ Cambridge Technical: DDM (Science, Sport, or Performing Arts (Dance)). (Note: MSci requires DDD)
- GCSEs: English and Mathematics at Grade C / 4 or above
- Applicants will be asked to attend an application event where they will participate in a dance class, an informal interview (normally in pairs), and submit a short written task. This part of the application process is important to evaluate movement and writing competencies, as well as existing understanding about the area of study.

As you arrive at Imaging USA 2017, there will be loads of intriguing sights and sounds filling the air, but before you dive into the greatest pro-photography convention, there are a few important tasks that need to be completed.
Be sure to mark the following items off of your arrival checklist.

• Registration Check-In. You'll need to stop by the registration desk to receive your convention badge, lanyard, ribbons, bag and show guide. The badge is important, as it is required for attending the Imaging USA expo, classes, parties, and more. Hold on tight to your badge! If you lose it, there is a reprint fee of $25 for the first badge reprint and $50 for one additional reprint. Stop by the main registration area for assistance. Pre-Con registration will be located at the Marriott Rivercenter, 101 Bowie St, San Antonio, TX 78205, 3rd floor. Main Registration will be at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention, Main Lobby, street level. There will be signage, so you won't miss it!
• Make a plan. Your show guide is a great way to get a complete list of the events hosted at Imaging USA. Use your show guide to schedule your days at Imaging USA, and stay on schedule using the official Imaging USA app! Be sure to attend the trade show, and as many classes and parties as you can pack into each day!
• Have the time of your life! Imaging USA is all about learning and connecting with your peers, while having the best fun of the year. So, shake off your nerves and dive into the greatest photographic convention around!
Imaging USA has begun, and your PPA Team is happy to answer any of your convention questions. You can also head over to ImagingUSA.org/About to get answers to any questions you may have!
Enjoy Imaging USA 2017, and stay tuned for daily convention recaps and updates!

The JDBC Nested Result Set is the simplest join algorithm. In this case for each tuple in the outer join relation, the entire inner join is scanned and the tuple matches the join condition are finally added to the result set.
The JDBC Nested Result Set is the simplest join algorithm. In this case for each tuple in the outer join relation, the entire inner join is scanned and the tuple matches the join condition are finally added to the result set.
Understand with Example
In this Tutorial we want to describe you a code that helps in understanding JDBC Nested Result Set. The code include a class JDBC Nested Result Set, Inside the class we have a main method, follow the list of steps -
Import a package java.sql provides you a network interface, that enables to communicate between front end and back end.
Loading a driver by making a call class.forName ( ),that accept driver class as argument.
DriverManager.getConnection ( ) : This provides you to established a connection between url and database.
createStatement ( ) : The create Statement is used to obtain sql object. This object is used to send and execute sql queries in backend of the database.
executeQuery ( ) :This method is used to retrieve the record set from a table and store the record set in a result set. The select statement is used for this method.
next ( ) : This method is used to return the next element in the series.
getString ( ) : This method retrieve the value of the specific column in the current row of result set object as string representation.
Finally the println print the ID,Name,Class in the output. In the same way if the tuple in the result set 1 matches with the tuple result set 2,The output will be printed In case there is an exception in try block, the catch block caught and handle the exception.JdbcNestedResultset.java
import java.sql.*; public class JdbcNestedResultset { public static void main(String args[]) { Connection con = null; Statement st1 = null; Statement st2 = null; ResultSet rs1 = null; ResultSet rs2 = null; String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/"; String db = "komal"; String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; String user = "root"; String pass = "root"; try { Class.forName(driver); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url + db, user, pass); st1 = con.createStatement(); st2 = con.createStatement(); String sql = "Select * from stu"; rs1 = st1.executeQuery(sql); System.out.println("Id\tName\tClass\tLibno"); while (rs1.next()) { String id = rs1.getString("id"); System.out.print(id + "\t"); System.out.print(rs1.getString("name") + "\t"); System.out.print(rs1.getString("class") + "\t"); rs2 = st2.executeQuery("select * from lib where id ='" + id + "'"); while (rs2.next()) { System.out.println(rs2.getString("libno") + "\t"); } } } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }

The Dordogne region of France is a beautiful, heart-gripping area, soaked in sun and history.
It is popular with the French and the Brits alike. As a known popular holiday destination in the sun, you are well advised to choose this perfect get-away location. You might even try this beautiful gite.
With its gentle rolling hills and crystal-clear sunny days, you will want to stay longer than you anticipated.
You will probably want a swimming pool to relax in and near. There is something deeply wonderful and relaxing to the core about lounging and lazing by your own holiday gite and pool

"At U-SCHOOL we are going to teach what I would have liked to learn at university. I learned it over the years. Here it's going to be months. What a shortcut!" (Jörg Rheinboldt, CEO Axel Springer Plug & Play Accelerator & mentor at U-SCHOOL)

The entrepreneurial leadership programme U-SCHOOL (former Unternehmerschule) is designed and facilitated in strong alliance with experienced Entrepreneurs & Intrapreneurs to empower talented managers driving innovation forward in their organization. The "U" represents both our reference to Unternehmertum as the German expression for entrepreneurship and our focus on YOU. As a whole, the U-SCHOOL commits to help you strengthen your entrepreneurial skill set and to make your innovative ideas become real.
Beneath the implementation of the latest management tools we provide you with a personal mentor and a safe practice space in which you can work on your ideas and turn them into a competitive business model.
The participants profit from:
The key objective of the programme is to support you and your company in refining your actual business or to successfully find, develop and integrate new business models.
Therefore we provide you with the most important management tools to master the four steps of a successful project development: IDEATE, JUMP, GROW and CHALLENGE. We believe in project-based learning, therefore every participant will work during the six month on her/his own project and will have access to a network of senior executives and experienced mentors.
To inspire and support your entrepreneurial attitude we connect you with the agile start-up scene and work with some of the most successful international incubators such as Axel Springer Plug & Play, hubraum, Hitfox, Project A, Startupbootcamp or Numa.
The combination of a high-end executive training and a dynamic project accelerator brings the unique value to U-SCHOOL. As participant you will step into an exclusive community of experienced managers from large corporations as well as from fast growing start-ups.
The U-SCHOOL programme welcomes participants from diverse educational backgrounds who have already gained a minimum of three years' professional experience. This experience could have been gained as an entrepreneur, intrapreneur or business developer within a large company or as the manager of a family business. The more diverse the backgrounds and careers of the participants, the better they can learn from each other and build a sustainable network — a key element of the programme.
There are no formal education requirements; however, English language proficiency skills are mandatory.

€ 12,800 for the complete programme
Please contact Sven Scheid for scholarships for women and entrepreneurs.
Module 1 IDEATE
The first module is all about getting and shaping your initial ideas into a project. During the first three days we will hone your project by challenging, twisting and shaping your initial ideas. We will apply a wide variety of tools like effectuation, design-thinking and customer discovery. Furthermore, we visit start-ups and agile companies. We have the opportunity to discuss with them how they were built and how they developed and shaped their ideas over time. At the end of module 1 you should have torn your ideas into pieces and put them back together with many new ideas.
Module 2 JUMP
It is time to put your ideas to the test. And we mean this quite literally! Why do you do this project, how can you make a difference, what leadership preferences do you have and how can you use them best? We will explore how stories will help you to build a powerful identity and brand for your project.
Module 3 GROW
To develop your project further we explore the role of strategy. You learn methods and
principles entrepreneurs employ in situations of uncertainty. We will also discuss the fundamentals of finance and deepen your skills as a negotiator and mediator.
Module 4 CHALLENGE
What are the important levers to bring your project to the next level? We discuss what it takes to grow your business internationally and we examine a number of leadership issues connected with growth, such as the role of ethics, diversity and responsibility. Furthermore we will learn about the different marketing instruments, especially the potential of digital marketing.
Thymian Bussemer, Deputy Head, Group Transformational Change, Deutsche Telekom
"We have made some notable experiences. The programme has led to more innovation within our company. Our selected participants at U-SCHOOL have all refined their business ideas through reflection with a number of diverse participants and the support of a mentor."
Dominik Dommick, CEO Payback GmbH
"We are sending young professionals from our Entrepreneur in Residence Program to U-SCHOOL. The programme connects them to a strong entrepreneurial network and helps them turn their ideas into business models."
Uli Huener, Head of Innovation Management, EnBW AG
"The business model in the energy sector has hardly changed in the past 30 years. For EnBW it is one of the big challenges - and at the same time chances - to identify and extend new businesses through entrepreneurial talent and with entrepreneurial spirit. With the U-SCHOOL programme we have found a good way to work on and refill our new business model ideas."
Jörg Rheinboldt, CEO Axel Springer Plug & Play Accelerator, co-founder and former CEO of eBay Germany
"At U-SCHOOL we are going to teach what I would have liked to learn at university. I learned it over the years. Here it's going to be months. What a shortcut!"
Alexander Sixt, Family business holder - Managing director - Head of Corporate Development, Central Purchasing and Workflow management at Sixt AG
"The leader of a family business demands the ability to seize chances while keeping up the approved business model. That's one of the main challenges in a family business. Growing into a family business sometimes needs external support. Family business leaders will benefit from U-SCHOOL by obtaining insights into challenging business cases and through a top-class network. It is what you need to develop into a responsible leader much quicker."
Ulrich Schmitz, CTO Axel Springer SE
"A succesful entrepreneur needs talent, applicable methods, tools and the right timing. Entrepreneurial talent often exists naturally; however, it needs to be developed in practice. As such, U-SCHOOL offers the chance to do so!"

text: Previously I was on T3 for a short time but it made me itch (I think it was that). Doctor P advised me to come off and try NDT. I'm five weeks in and on 2 grains in the morning and half about 3pm. I'm not seeing any real improvement yet and I'm itching again! I am on various supplements including Thorne Adrenal Cortex. Anyone else suffer with this or know of any possible reasons?

We found this spot when we were shooting for a good friend of mine. It's in a distant area of mid town so the warehouse type area seemed just right for this outfit. I originally had this bright mango color top that had some grey in it. I find myself trying to match everything because I like matching my colors. But after I paired it with a black top, it made sense. Simple outfits usually go a longer way than trying too hard. But, the three great essentials to achieve anything are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense...!
If you aren't following me on instagram already, come check it out @bornorigingal. I'll be posting pretty sweet giveaways...maybe even something from the Phillip Lim for Target collection. Im coveting every single item, especially that bright yellow bag. (girly squeel)

St. John's: Girls Learning Code Photo-Editing with Pixlr (Parent/Child) for girls ages 8-13 on September 30th
Ladies Learning Code
Saturday, 30 September 2017 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM (NDT)
Why learn about Photo-Editing?
Photos are a great way to tell stories, and using digital tools designers can create new worlds through photo editing!
Join us to learn the basic fundamentals of photo editing! Through this hands-on learning experience, girls will learn how to use Pixlr, a free browser-based image editing software similar to Photoshop. Girls will learn all about retouching and superimpose objects into photos, by putting costumes onto animals (digitally, of course!), and creating new worlds through editing different scenes (and selfies)! Each Photo Editing with Pixlr workshop has the same flow, but different activities. Come and create new images every time!
As a group, we'll also learn about design theory and composition, and go through how to crop and resize photos, how to use the magic wand to remove objects, and how to put two photos together using layers. Pixlr's easy-to-use interface will also encourage girls/kids to continue playing and experimenting outside of the workshop!
Is this workshop right for you?
This is a beginner workshop for Girls ages 8-13 who are new to Pixlr.
What will I have learned by the end of this workshop?
What is Girls Learning Code?
Founded by the same women who introduced Ladies Learning Code in 2011, Girls Learning Code is less about "code" and more about changing the world – through teamwork, creativity, and, of course, technology.
What Makes Girls Learning Code Different?
Girls Learning Code has been designed specifically with girls in mind, by the team who founded Ladies Learning Code. When developing plans and curriculum for workshops, we keep in mind a recurrent theme in research on gender and technology: girls approach the computer as a "tool" useful primarily for what it can do; boys more often view the computer as a "toy" or an extension of the self. Thus, the theme of workshops are "Changing the World" and how technology can be used as the means, not the end.
Check out this video of one of our Girls Learning Code camps in Toronto.
What parents say about Girls Learning Code:
"My daughter went to the camp without a clear understanding of what a tech camp for girls was but was pleasantly surprised by the experience. She enjoyed every single day at the camp and showed great enthusiasm about the topic she and her group chose to present. I would not hesitate to send her to another tech camp with LLC whenever the opportunity arises."
"My daughter wasn't sold on the idea of attending a "technology camp" for March Break. By the second day she was raving about how much fun she was having AND how much she was learning. What a great combination!"
"I learned about Girls Learning Code from the Toronto Star. I looked into it and I thought it was such a great opportunity for my daughter to be exposed in the field of technology. I was really happy that she went to Girls Learning Code because she was introduced to different programming languages, exposed to companies like Google and Mozilla and had to work with different girls she's never met before. I wish my older daughter who is now in first year university had the same opportunity as her sister."
"This was a great iniative that is needed to encourage females to become leaders in computer technology field. It was inspiring for my daughter to visit Google, to see a modern office space, to see a bilingual women in a leading position at Google. This camp provided a perspective to girls that they not only can play and use technology, they can design, create and become leaders in technology."
"My daughter had a blast, the other campers were a great bunch of girls, they learned, grew and had fun. The venue was well chosen, the balance of activities was good. The extra little touches of caring were noticable and appreciated. The camp was down to earth and unpretentious but the counsellors took their jobs seriously. A+. I will recommend to other parents."
We're a Canada-wide community driven not-for-profit working to empower women and youth to feel comfortable learning beginner-friendly technical skills in a social and collaborative way.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Essential to these functions will be a high degree of industry specificity, and with it a significant increase in the amount of automation that is currently the norm for BI tools. What is needed in the regulatory economy are tools that as much as possible fully automate the virtuous circle of discovery, reporting, and remediation that will make the regulatory economy run as smoothly as possible. A lack of automation is what has historically made compliance an expensive and onerous task, and fixing this side of the regulatory economy will be one of the ways in which enterprise software softens the blow of significantly increased audit and reporting requirements.
Nonetheless, complying with the regulatory economy wont be cheap, lets be honest. There will be the need for new software, new processes, maybe new skills. But virtue wont be the only reward of the regulatory economy. In fact, its a distant third on my list.
Reward number one is improved governance and oversight: being forced to comply with the regulatory economy will force your company to be better managed, or at least have the tools to better manage itself. This effect is not dissimilar to the secondary impacts of the Y2K hoax: Y2K fears drove thousands of companies to upgrade their enterprise software environments to cope with the unfounded fear of a Y2K meltdown, and in the process gained a leg-up on the efficiencies that modern enterprise software can provide.
For most companies, the real payback for their Y2K investments came after January 1, 2000 turned out to be a non-event. While the need for the regulatory economy is genuine, as opposed to the Y2K nonsense, a similar secondary effect from investing in the regulatory economy will be felt across the enterprise.
Reward number two comes from the benefits of having a safer and more highly visible ecosystem. One of the downsides of living in a global economy has been the domino effect that obtains when one link in the global chain breaks. For example, a single supplier interruption in China can impact multiple businesses up and down the line: supplies arent shipped, manufacturers cant meet their obligations, retailers dont have product to sell, consumers have nothing to buy.
Living in a more regulated economy will mean that these potentially catastrophic events will be easier to see, easier to plan for, and easier to mitigate once theyve taken place. And knowing that the other companies in your supply chain are being forced to play fair and play safe means your company is less likely to be whipsawed by the results of illegal or illicit activities.
And then theres virtue reward number three. As cynical as I tend to be, I hope some businesses will be proud to be well-regulated, and use that in their promotional activities the way everyone polluter and green business alike is now touting the eco-friendliness of their company.
The regulatory economy might not be an ideal solution to our current problems, but, to paraphrase Winston Churchills famous comment about democracy, its the best one we can come up with, considering the alternatives. I, for one, am sick of the alternatives running the show, and, in particular, running the show into the ground. If this is what it takes a little more regulation and if enterprise software can help limit how onerous that regulation can be, then Im all for it. Considering the alternatives....
