The Large and Small Conference Rooms should be used only for meetings, unless specifically approved for other appropriate functions. The Fung Auditorium and Zweifach Library can be reserved for lectures and special events. Those interested in using the Fung Auditorium or Zweifach Library should contact the Department of Bioengineering. Most meetings, e.g., lab group meetings, should use a Large or Small Conference Room. None of the meeting rooms are to be used for classes.
Food and drink are allowed in Small and Large Conference Rooms and Zweifach Library, but good practice and scrupulous care are required. At the conclusion of a meeting, tables should be wiped clean, and excess trash should be removed. Food and Drink are not normally allowed in the Fung Auditorium. For special events in the Fung Auditorium, a request can be made to the Department for an exception to allow Food and Drink. Such a request should contain plans for cleanup. The Department may approve or deny such requests.
Audio-Visual equipment of the Department of Bioengineering is available in some conference rooms. A small fee may be charged for use of such equipment.
Conference rooms are normally locked, to prevent unauthorized use. The person for whom a conference room is reserved may check out a key to gain access to the room, and will be responsible for the key until it has been returned. A key to the reserved conference room can be obtained from the Department of Bioengineering Administrative Office (PFBH Room 125). The key should be returned immediately after the meeting, during regular office hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). If the office is closed, the key should be returned by noon on the following work day. If the key is not returned on time, the room may be rekeyed at the expense of the person and/or group who reserved it.
After use, a conference room should be left in the original seating arrangement (tables latched together and chairs around the table), all lights should be turned off, and the doors should be locked.
Reservations of activities in the Department of Bioengineering, Institute of Engineering in Medicine, JSOE Dean's Office and von Liebig Center will take priority over reservations from other sources. In extreme emergencies for special high-priority events, reservations may be bumped or moved to another location, and the contact person will be notified. Everyone, within or outside of these organizations, should be aware of this policy.
All conference room users will need to accept these policies as conditions for reserving and using the rooms, and are expected to be held accountable for any necessary cleaning and/or repair to the conference rooms or equipment in the conference rooms incurred during use. Conference room users should report immediately to the Department of Bioengineering (PFBH room 125, tel. 534-4272) any damage, missing equipment, or unkempt state found upon entering the room.
Exceptions to these policies made by granted by the Department of Bioengineering MSO or Chair. The only exception is that the small conference room can be used for TA office hours.

Aiden Wilson Tozer (* 21. April 1897 in La Jose (heute Newburg), Pennsylvania, Vereinigte Staaten; † 12. Mai 1963 in Toronto, Kanada), besser bekannt als A. W. Tozer, war ein US-amerikanischer evangelischer Pastor und Autor. Seine Werke werden dem Evangelikalismus zugeordnet.

Lebenslauf

Kindheit und Jugend
Aiden Wilson Tozer wurde im Clearfield County in den ländlichen Bergen Pennsylvanias geboren und wuchs als das dritte von sechs Kindern einer Bauernfamilie auf. Sein Vater Jacob Tozer erzog die Kinder zu Disziplin und harter Arbeit, aber er zeigte ihnen keine Zuneigung und entwickelte keine persönliche Nähe zu ihnen. Als Aiden zehn Jahre alt war, brannte das Wohnhaus der Tozers durch die Unachtsamkeit der Großmutter nieder. Nachdem das Haus wieder aufgebaut worden war, verließ Zene, der ältere Bruder, die Familie, um in Akron bei der neu entstehenden Industrie für Gummireifen zu arbeiten. Aufgrund der hohen Arbeitsbelastung erlitt der Vater im Herbst 1907 einen Nervenzusammenbruch mit einer anschließenden schweren Depression. Durch den darauffolgenden Klinikaufenthalt trat nur eine vorübergehende Besserung ein, und weitere Klinikaufenthalte folgten in den nächsten fünf Jahren. Aiden musste nun den älteren Bruder und den Vater ersetzen, obwohl er noch nicht elf Jahre alt war. Damit hörte seine Kindheit auf.

1912 gab der Vater den Bauernhof auf, und die Familie siedelte nach Akron in Ohio um, wo er und Aiden Arbeit bei Goodyear in der Gummireifenindustrie bekamen. Als Aiden 17 Jahre alt war, hörte er einem Straßenprediger zu, der sagte: "Wenn ihr nicht wisst, wie man betet, geht heim, setzt euch hin und bittet: 'O Gott, sei mir gnädig, denn ich bin ein Sünder.'" Genau das tat er dann allein auf dem Dachboden. Einige Wochen später schloss er sich der Gemeinde Grace Methodist Episcopal Church an, wo er sich auch taufen ließ. In dieser Gemeinde lernte er seine spätere Frau kennen, die zwei Jahre jüngere Ada Cecelia Pfautz. Später ging er in die Gemeinde der Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA). Hier lernte er neben den Grundlagen des christlichen Glaubens auch, in Straßenversammlungen öffentlich zu predigen. Dabei fühlte er sich von Gott gerufen, Prediger zu werden. Während eines Gebets mit seiner künftigen Schwiegermutter, Kate Pfautz, machte er eine Erfahrung, von der er sagte, dass er "mit einer gewaltigen Gabe des Heiligen Geistes getauft wurde". Diese Erfahrung wurde bestimmend für den Rest seines Lebens.

Dienst als Pastor
Aiden und Ada heirateten am 26. April 1918. Aus dieser Ehe gingen sieben Kinder hervor. Bald nach der Heirat gab Tozer seine Arbeit auf, um vollzeitlich in den Dienst als Evangelist und Prediger zu gehen. Wegen des Ersten Weltkrieges wurde er zwar im September zum Wehrdienst einberufen, kam aber nicht mehr zum Einsatz. 1919 bekam er seine erste Pastorenstelle in einer C&MA-Gemeinde in Stonewood (West Virginia), obwohl er über keinerlei theologische Ausbildung oder höhere Schulbildung verfügte. In dieser Zeit wurde er innerhalb der C&MA als begabter Prediger bekannt.

Tozer hatte bereits als Pastor in verschiedenen C&MA-Gemeinden gedient, als er 1928, nachdem er zuerst zweimal abgelehnt hatte, die Berufung in die Southside-Alliance-Gemeinde in Chicago annahm und dort 31 Jahre diente. Dabei waren ihm die Anbetung Gottes und viel Zeit für das Gebet zentral, seine einfachen, kraftvollen Predigten waren eigentlich nur Erweiterungen davon. In dieser Zeit wuchs die Gemeinde von 80 auf 800 Mitglieder. Ab 1950 wurde er Redakteur und schrieb regelmäßig Artikel für die Zeitschrift der C&MA The Alliance Weekly (später The Alliance Witness); innerhalb kurzer Zeit verdoppelte sich deren Auflage. 1943 erschien sein erstes Buch, eine Studie über Albert Benjamin Simpson, den Gründer der C&MA, anlässlich seines hundertsten Geburtstages. Ab 1951 hatte Tozer sonntagmorgens eine regelmäßige Radiosendung im Sender des Moody Bible Institute, die ihn landesweit bekannt machte.

Letzte Jahre
Nachdem die Gemeindeleitung beschlossen hatte, das bestehende Kirchengebäude an eine afroamerikanische Gemeinde zu verkaufen und in einem anderen Stadtteil ein neues Gebäude zu bauen, gab Tozer seine Pastorenstelle auf. Er nahm Ende 1959 das Angebot einer Gemeinde in Toronto an, die ihn nur verpflichtete, jeden Sonntag zwei Predigten zu halten. Da er von den sonst üblichen Aufgaben eines Pastors entbunden war, konnte er Vortragsreisen machen und weitere Bücher verfassen. In dieser Zeit entstand auch sein erfolgreichstes Buch The Knowledge of the Holy (dt. Das Wesen Gottes).

Tozer starb plötzlich am 12. Mai 1963 in Toronto an einem Herzinfarkt.

Seine Frau, deren Bedürfnisse er oft nicht genügend beachtet hatte, heiratete ein Jahr nach seinem Tod den Witwer Leonard Odam. Über diese Ehe sagte sie: "Nie in meinem Leben bin ich glücklicher gewesen. Aiden liebte Jesus Christus, aber Leonard Odam liebt mich."

News from Radley History Club
Club publishes new book
The launch of RADLEY MANOR AND VILLAGE: a thousand year story took place on Saturday 30th November at The Mansion, Radley College. The Mansion (pictured on the book's front cover) was built by the Stonhouse family in the 1720s as their manor house. Over 100 people came to the launch where they were able to buy copies of the book, view displays and enjoy refreshments provided by Radley Women's Institute.
The book takes us through the changing role of Radley Manor and its influence on the village, from around the time of the Norman Conquest to the present day. It was researched and written as a collaboration between Radley History Club and Radley College's archivist. More details
Price: £15 plus p/p – available to buy online or at Radley Village Shop
New meeting venue
Radley History Club is moving its regular monthly meetings from Radley Primary School to the Church of St James the Great. Both are on Church Road in Radley (OX14 3QF) and share the same car park. The first meeting in the new venue is on Monday 9th October at 7.30pm.
Details of the 2019-2020 programme
175th Anniversary of Didcot to Radley railway line – 15 June 2019
There were events at all five stations along the line to celebrate the event - with the excitement and added bonus of two steam engines (Clun Castle and Flying Scotsman) passing through on excursions.
The celebrations at Radley began with the unveiling of a permanent board with a timeline of the history of Radley Station on the railings at Radley Station (on platform 1 for trains to Oxford and beyond). Radley history Club is very grateful for the grants from Greening Lamborn Trust, Radley Village Shop, Radley Parish Council, Radley History Club and GWR to cover the cost of the board.
Events then moved to the garden of the Bowyer Arms where there was:
A display of railway pictures and artefacts by Radley History Club, Friends of Radley Station and former railwayman and Radley resident Vic Gackowski, and the reminiscences of Harold Gasson, a former GWR fireman
Storytellers Polly Mountain and Ed Blagrove in costume relating tales about Radley and the railway line
Display of work by children from Radley Primary School about the railway
Copies of 'Radley People and the Railway 1843-2013' and other Club books for sale
More details and photos of the celebrations
Presentation of new list of vicars to Radley Church – 18 February 2018
Before the 11am service on Sunday 18th February, Club chairman Richard Dudding presented the Revd Rob Glenny with a framed list of the known incumbents of St James the Great from the middle of the 16th century to the present day. The new list replaces one that has hung near the church door since it was presented to the Church by the Club in October 2005. The replacement list adds some new names and corrects some minor errors found during research for the Club's book, The Story of a Village Church: St James the Great, Radley published in October 2016. The book contains details about all the names on the list bar the last one, that of Rob Glenny who was appointed after the book's publication.
The new list is in memory of Stanley Baker, the Club's long-serving archivist who did much research into Radley vicars and was a committed attender at the Church. The Club is very pleased to have been able to use a bequest from Stan towards the cost of the replacement list.
Revamp of archive catalogue - September 2017
To make it easier for users to find material of interest to them, the Club's archive catalogue is now presented in 17 subject categories rather than being listed according to the type (map, book, document, photo, etc.). There is also a separate listing by surname and date of the Club's extensive collection of transcriptions by the late Stanley Baker of the wills of Radley people from the 16th to 19th centuries. A list of the the Club's holdings of issues of various journals, including back issues of the Radley News and its predecessors, is also available. About the archives

I've always been a big fan of all the different types of jackets - leather, denim, bomber, biker, military, puffer - you name it! Each of these styles has an important place in my wardrobe and varsity jacket being no exception😉 Up until now, I've only had one sequin varsity jacket hanging in my closet (seen in this post), but this fall the old / new trend of varsity jackets is back and bigger than ever! The trend that started already last year when super models and street style stars were seen wearing classic varsity jackets more and more, has made a little makeover and this year, combined with the teddy jacket trend, the furry varsity jacket was born.
What I love the most about this trend is that it is such a statement piece that's at the same time so cute and versatile! The jacket looks super cool worn with a skirt, yet extra chic over a dress. Perfect with jeans and just as stylish with a pair of tailored trousers. I styled the furry jacket with a turtleneck, cigarette trousers and sneakers for a grey monochrome look a few days ago.
Wow this jacket is sooo cool, you look amazing girl!
Thank you so much Kristina <3 I'm totally obsessed with the jacket too!
That coat is so cute! I love how comfy it looks.
Not a big fan of varsity jackets, but yours look really lovely - soft and comfy. Wouldnt think twice to wear that. Nice pick dear.


At the peak of a panic attack, it can feel like there's nothing you can do. Don't get discouraged. There are techniques you can leverage to reduce the severity of your panic attack, and even stop it altogether. Read on to learn more.
When you're in the midst of a panic attack, identifying what is happening can be challenging.
Let's start by demystifying what happens in your body and brain during a panic attack. The sections of the brain called the amygdala and midbrain are activated. These centers are responsible for triggering fear and pain responses. Because the brain prioritizes fear over critical thinking, primal instincts take over despite a rational assessment that there is no real danger. Your ability to control your mind and body are greatly reduced.
With practice, you can relearn how to control your mind and body and learn how to stop a panic attack. Here's how.
Start by knowing what a panic attack feels like. This will enable you to immediately identify when it is happening.
It's difficult to think clearly during a panic attack, partially because it's hard to stay calm. Find a word or phrase that will help you remember to calm down. Use something that puts you in a happy place mentally and emotionally. Repeating something like "I am safe, no harm will come to me," or "This is only a panic attack, and I will be okay," can help disrupt the cycle of panic and feeling in danger.
The more automatic the process feels, the easier it will be to carry out. For example, you can plan to immediately find an isolated place, sit down and call a friend. Having a set of steps planned out ahead of time can help you feel better more quickly.
Hyperventilation is a common symptom of panic attacks. Being able to control your breath sends a message to your mind that you aren't in danger. This can help trigger the the parasympathetic nervous system to take over, which is the system that controls relaxation responses (such as digestion). One way to practice deep breathing is with diaphragmatic breathing. This is when you force yourself to breathe starting from deep in your diaphragm. It helps you combat shortness of breath and brings in more oxygen.
If you're interested in training yourself in breathing exercises, Spire is designed to help. Spire's sensors track your breath and can detect when you are calm and when you are panicked. The device sends a notification to your phone when you are breathing too quickly and will offer a breathing exercise to help you calm down.
List at least five things you can see. Describe them in as much detail as possible.
List at least four things you can hear. Describe the qualities of those sounds.
List at least three things you can smell.
Try touching the textures around you. Whether it be a carpeted floor, a tiled counter or the damp grass outside. Describe the sense of touching those objects.
This exercise forces you to zone on the details all around you, right now. When you shift your thoughts from your mental state to the environment around you, it creates distance from thinking patterns that would otherwise push you further into a state of panic.
Focusing on a specific object is a type of grounding. Instead of trying to focus on the many aspects of your environment, some of which might be frustrating and triggering, focusing on a single object can help you avoid being overwhelmed. The purpose of grounding yourself is to come back to reality and engages the more logical processes of your brain. This can return you to a state of mental clarity.
If you're prone to panic attacks, find an object that you can use when you need grounding. The object should have unique textures, smells, patterns or colors to make it easy to focus on. It should also be something that is easy to carry. Some examples are a silk scarf scented with essential oils, a distinctly textured and painted rock, or even a childhood teddy bear or toy.
The above are acute tactics you can apply to quickly come out of a panic attack. But in the long term, especially if your panic attacks are severe and recurrent, it can help to go see a mental health professional to and obtain advice or anxiety medications.
A common technique which is taught by mental health professionals to patients suffering from panic attacks is CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is one of the most effective ways to treat long-term panic and anxiety. Individuals respond extremely well to CBT, and people practicing CBT tend to have very low relapse rates. CBT involves therapy which will help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave.
Finding yourself caught in the middle of a panic attack can be a terrifying experience. Learning how to recognize a period of panic as it's happening can help you realize when you need to use some calming techniques. Deep breathing, mindfulness, grounding and CBT techniques are all methods that can be used to return to a state of calm.
Find a technique that works for you and use it in times of panic. This will reduce the amount of time you spend in a period of fear and make it easier for you to get back to your life.

Home/Motorbike/Edinburgh man stunned as thief 'leaves' on £ 4,500 electric motorcycle test drive he plans to sell to him
Edinburgh man stunned as thief 'leaves' on £ 4,500 electric motorcycle test drive he plans to sell to him
Todd Wurtsbach August 11, 2021 Motorbike Leave a comment 64 Views
The suspect, who cannot be named for legal reasons, stole the Sur Ron electric motorcycle as he tested it in the city's North Fort Street neighborhood on Wednesday, July 28.
The owner and seller of the vehicle, who does not want to be named, told the Edinburgh Evening News that the same man bought him a similar bike a few weeks before and paid the full amount.
But this time around, the supposed "buyer" arrived in a Mercedes car with two friends and was dropped off before the vehicle was parked further down the street.

The newsletter i cut through the noise
The stolen electric motorcycle.
The motorcycle salesman, a student at Heriot-Watt University, said: "He said 'okay, can I give it a try?' then spun with.
"He drove down the street and came back to where they (his friends) were parked and told them the police were around the corner and he was scared to go home, and his friends told him to 'go. I think it was just an excuse.
"At first I thought he was laughing just because he paid me for the previous bike, but I realized when the Mercedes skidded it was stolen."
The man, who claims he and the supposed buyer had agreed on a price of £ 4,500, said he was in shock and contacted police around ten minutes later. He said he had since tried to contact the man on social media, but to no avail.
The messages seen by this log show that arrangements are being made between the seller and a Facebook account belonging to the suspect to retrieve the motorcycle.
A few days after the theft, in another Facebook message exchange seen by this log between the bicycle seller and a relative of the suspect, the relative said he would tell him to return the bike but that the previous bike he got to him. sold was "defective" and he should return the money for it.
The motorcycle salesman said, "He has two of my bikes and only paid for one.
"If it was broken, when he tested it, he would have said it was broken. Why didn't he contact me to get his money back?
The suspect denied any knowledge of the incident when asked to comment.
A Scottish Police spokesperson said: 'Police investigations are underway following the theft of an electric motorcycle on Portland Street in Edinburgh on July 28, 2021.'
Police are examining local CCTV as part of their investigations.

So 1968 this isn't. To be sure, there were scuffles between Chicago police and protesters in town for the NATO summit hosted by President Barack Obama, but relatively speaking this has been a far cry from the Democratic National Convention of 44 years ago, with the Vietnam War in full swing, that gave the Windy City a national reputation for police brutality. Given the unseasonably high temperatures, the city of Chicago even provided water and cooling stations for the protesters, so Mayor Rahm Emanuel is not to be confused with Richard J. Daley.
To be sure, there were scuffles between Chicago police and protesters in town for the NATO summit hosted by President Obama, but relatively speaking this has been a far cry from the Democratic National Convention of 44 years ago, with the Vietnam War in full swing, that gave the Windy City a national reputation for police brutality. Given the unseasonably high temperatures, the city of Chicago even provided water and cooling stations for the protesters, so Mayor Rahm Emanuel is not to be confused with Richard J. Daley.
If anything, some members of the crowd instigated the physical confrontations as police attempted to disperse them over the weekend, throwing sticks, bottles and paint, accompanied by the usual screaming of one insult or another. Some billy clubs came out as a result, though a more disciplined police force of sufficient manpower and greater PR savvy (in a world where everyone has a cell phone camera) seems to have learned a few things since 1968 - even since 1999, when protesters disrupted the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle and the mayor there had to declare the municipal equivalent of martial law.
About 50 people were arrested during Sunday's march to McCormick Place, where NATO leaders were meeting, not counting the five people detained in two separate police operations on far more serious allegations of planning acts of terrorism to disrupt the summit, or worse. There were a few injuries, some to police. That was the stuff you saw on the national news.
Nonetheless, all things considered, both the size and passion of the crowd registered at levels well below what was advertised. Compared to some other gatherings of the fed-up and frustrated around the globe, these demonstrations have been tame. No one is complaining about that.
Loosely organized by a group calling itself the Coalition Against NATO/G8 War and Poverty Agenda - whose name is almost as long as the list of protesters' grievances - the marches seemed to have little focus, not unlike the Occupy Wall Street gatherings of last year, which is not to be dismissive so much as just observant. Some were there in opposition to NATO - aka "the military arm of global capitalism" - others to give voice against climate change or the consumption of meat or consumption in general or economic inequality or tar sand oil extraction. Boeing, headquartered in Chicago, took its share of grief for making military aircraft and weaponry.
If there was any commonality, there did seem to be a desire to end the war in Afghanistan, to which the NATO heads of state gave every public impression they were ignoring as they reiterated their "no rush for the exits" position, which may be the understatement of more than a decade at war. It's hard to blame those who have wearied of that military intervention and its costs in blood and treasure. It's critical that NATO know when to get in, but it's just as important to know when to get out. NATO is promising that day will come in 2014 given the "irreversible transition" they've begun to a non-combat posture there. We shall see.
In any case, the greater challenge to NATO probably came from inside the room rather than outside it.
The 63-year-old alliance is showing cracks like perhaps never before, with even former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates expressing concerns about its future. The U.S. has turned its foreign policy attentions to Asia and the Middle East, while Europe grapples with a debt crisis that prevents much investment in defense, and which then falls to the U.S. Changes in leadership, as in France, have threatened NATO consensus on major matters.
One would say this: NATO has been an uncommonly successful alliance, one that remains important against other emerging powers that would gladly see American and Western influence around the world diminished. That it exists is a deterrent to aggression against its 28 member nations. As such it has helped keep the peace more than it has not.
Nothing last forever, no institution is perfect, but NATO is very much something that all involved should try to hold together, even as some shortsightedly call for its dissolution.

FRAGRANCE Group posted a net profit of S$5.38 million for its second quarter, up 20.5 per cent from a year ago.
Revenue went up 62.5 per cent to S$56.8 million, on account of higher contributions from its City Gate development project in Singapore, rental revenue from commercial properties, and full quarter hotel operations income from ibis Styles Hobart, in Australia, which commenced operations in July 2017.
Earnings per share stood at 0.10 Singapore cent, up from 0.06 cent previously.
No dividend was declared.
The group flagged that property market sentiments are expected to be affected in the short term due to the latest round of cooling measures.

Fragrance Group has secured two sites for development namely 205 Jalan Eunos and 31 Jervois Road. The group has completed the purchase of 31 Jervious Road and expects to complete the purchase of 205 Jalan Eunos in H2 2018. The group is actively working on the redevelopment plans of these two projects.
City Gate, the mixed development project in which the group has a 50 per cent interest, is nearing its completion. With 99.7 per cent of the residential units and 76.1 per cent of the commercial units already sold, the group expects to "receive healthy cashflow" upon its completion.
The group is also continuing its efforts to increase the occupancy of its investment properties in Singapore.
In Australia, the group is actively working on its various development projects in Australia. Construction works for Premier Tower and NV Apartments are in full swing and marketing efforts are ongoing to sell the remaining units in these two projects as well as the 555 Collins project.
As for the UK, the group's three hotel investment properties, namely The Crown Hotel, Lyndene Hotel and The Townhouse Hotel, will provide stable recurring income in FY2018.

FDA Should Help Defeat Another Viral Epidemic—HIV—By Reclassifying PrEP And PEP Over The Counter
By Jeffrey A. Singer
Last October, California expanded the scope of practice of pharmacists to allow them to prescribe HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post‐exposure prophylaxis (PEP) to people at risk. Similar legislation is currently being considered by the New York state legislature.
I have argued here that the Food and Drug Administration should reclassify PrEP and PEP as over the counter. While allowing pharmacists to prescribe PrEP and PEP is a step in the right direction, it would greatly improve access to the drugs for people at risk if they were available OTC. They can then be sold in retail and convenience stores in addition to drug stores. They might even be made available in vending machines, as is the case with emergency contraceptives, providing greater privacy along with convenience.
Research published this month by a team at the University of California San Francisco strengthens the argument for the FDA to move quickly on this. A randomized controlled trial of nearly 75,000 people in East Africa, an area of the world most affected by HIV, found PrEP resulted in a 74 percent reduction in new cases of HIV. The study found a 40 percent reduction in incidence among men and a 76 percent reduction among women. This latter discovery is particularly important, because clinical researchers have been uncertain as to the effectiveness of PrEP in women.
Medpage Today reported Catherine Koss, MD of the University of California San Francisco as saying:
"This shows in generalized epidemic settings, offering universal access to PrEP can reduce HIV incidence," Koss said. "Moving forward, comprehensive HIV testing with linkage to treatment and prevention, including PrEP … [is a] promising approach to accelerated reductions in new infections."
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic the FDA, in early March, relaxed many of its outdated and onerous regulations in order to fast‐track the approval process for new tests and new drugs to combat the virus.
While the COVID-19 virus is on everyone's mind, the HIV epidemic has been around for more than 40 years, with more than 36,000 people infected each year and 1.2 million Americans living with HIV.
The FDA should demonstrate the same commitment to the fight against HIV that it claims to have against COVID-19 by reclassifying PrEP and PEP OTC. ASAP.

By Jason Morgan
Kenworth pulled the sheet off of its next generation of T680, unveiling an improved aerodynamic design that touts a 6% fuel efficiency increase over the previous T680 iteration (when spec'd with the PACCAR powertrain). The updates extend into the cab where the impressive 15-in. digital display offers near countless truck information customizations. The technology integrated into the truck goes even further with the announcement of Kenworth ADAS features, a system that combines lane keeping assist with advanced adaptive cruise functionality.

Let's take the new features one step at a time.
Outside of the truck
The sleek new design is the first thing that you notice when you walk up to the Kenworth T680 Next Gen truck.
"We were able to get an 8-in. narrower hood compared to the previous T680," explained Laura Bloch, Kenworth assistant general manager for sales and marketing. The narrower hood is paired with steep shoulders that leads to the new turning vanes on the pillars.
"Those allow us to grab the air and keep it hugging the side of the vehicle as it goes around the sides of the glass, and then down the sleeper into the trailer," said Joe Adams, Kenworth chief engineer, Kenworth.
"One of the things that I'm most excited about: the high-ground-clearance air dam," Bloch continued. "We've seen a lot of damage on competitor trucks when the air dams are really low. We did not want to do that."
"They do that because they are primarily trying to move the air around the sides of the vehicle; they don't want air to go underneath the vehicle. We use it as an advantage, managing the flow of air under the vehicle to reduce drag," Adams explained. "We spent a lot of time and energy on computational fluid dynamics to find the best way to move air around the vehicle and reduce drag."
Follow the eye line down the T680 Next Gen and you'll see that the 28-in. optional side extenders also allow for a tighter trailer gap.
"What's really cool with the 28-in. side extenders is that you have the optional ability to open it. This allows you to make the trailer gap narrow but still allows the driver to have the frame access that they need behind the sleeper," Adams explained. "You can go down and inspect your air connections, to make your trailer connections, and to do other activities."
The aerodynamics strategy continues into the wheel covers and associated fairings. While the new fairings boost fuel efficiency, Kenworth noted that they've made serviceability even easier. Take the side fairings where battery inspections take place, for example. "A lot of customers wanted the ability to get into the fairing and do their daily inspections, confirm the cables are tight and that there's no corrosion. We have a handle from the back side of the plastic component that allows for battery access," Adams said. "You can flip it open and have a nice window to see into the space where the batteries are located and do your inspections."
Another stand-out external feature is the optional fully LED headlamps, a first for the Kenworth T680. "We partnered with a couple of our important lighting providers to develop a robust, commercial vehicle-grade, infrared heater technology that we use inside the lamp which gives us the ability to defrost and clear the lenses like a halogen," Adams said.
Inside of the truck
Inside, the T680 Next Gen sports the same tried-and-true sleeper that customers are accustomed to, but it's the 15-in. digital display screen that grabs your attention. It's a high-resolution display that allows the truck driver to cycle through several gauge options. At its most minimal, it offers the speedometer and will pop up alerts if there's an equipment issue. At its most informative, four panels spread out from the center speedometer display that tell you everything you'd need to know (and more).
"The maximum view puts all of the information into a single screen for the drivers that want that full suite of gauges to monitor all the activity on the vehicle. For nighttime driving, we have what we call dark mode with all of those gauges tucked away in the minimal view. All those gauges are still running in the background," Adams said. "If something happens, then that gauge will pop up on the screen and give the information to the driver.
"We also built a 'favorites' screen so the drivers can configure where gauges are located if they have a very strong desire to see the information presented to them in a particular way."
The steering wheel has also been updated with smart features and controls that integrated into the functionality of the new display.
"One of the things we wanted to do was make certain that we were giving drivers as much information and as much control as they need within a hand's reach. We've got a list of different features that are on the Next Gen SmartWheel starting with our cruise control on the far left-hand side. Then we move over to the right-hand side where we have the ability to control the functionality with the instrument cluster," Adams said. "It allows you to switch between the different display modes, select, and then a back button. We also have volume controls and other functions integrated into the SmartWheel."
Kenworth ADAS safety system suite
With the T680 Next Gen, Kenworth is bringing its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) to the market. Astute Kenworth aficionados would remember that the previous T680 came standard with Bendix Wingman Fusion ADAS system, which offered advanced braking assist features like Highway Departure Braking and Multi-Lane Emergency Braking. Those features remain in the next generation T680 as Kenworth built the lane-keeping assist system on top of the current Bendix Wingman Fusion. Adams explains:
"This is essentially a set of software algorithms and then a motor and steering gear geometry that allows Kenworth ADAS to apply torque into the steering shaft. The system monitors the lane positions with the cameras. When it recognizes that the truck enters a zone outside of the lane markers, the system will apply torque in the opposite direction and nudge the vehicle back toward the center of the lane."
As you'd expect, the system would not apply torque if the driver has initiated a turn signal, and there's also an ability to disable the lane-keeping assist for a short period of time in the case of a work zone or other instance where the lane markers are unusual.
The integration of the lane-keep assist system is developed in-house by PACCAR, but it integrates with the Bendix Wingman Fusion cameras. The Kenworth ADAS system adds a physical motor to the drive shaft and the associated integrated software to be able to steer the truck back into the lane.
"It's an added technology to the Fusion platform," noted Kevin Baney, Kenworth Truck Co. general manager and a PACCAR vice president. "Bendix Wingman Fusion is still standard on the T680 Next Gen. The Lane Keeping Assist is an optional functionality that you can add to that system.
"All of the ADAS information is integrated into this digital display," Baney continued. "When the truck radar picks up vehicles in front of it using the adaptive cruise system, and when you're using the lane-keeping assist system, you see it in the user experience in the digital display. For drivers, it's all one system. They do not notice anything different [between the systems]. The driver doesn't have to look at different places for the lane keeping versus the adaptive cruise control. It's all integrated into the new 15-in. digital display."

Nothing explains the intentions, the tensions and the goofiness of the era like the instructional films produced by Coronet. Starting after World War II, Coronet Films, as many other distributors, created a series of films on morals, hygiene and national values to be shown in classrooms on 8-mm projectors–mostly to kill a Friday afternoon. Through school-age actors, the films stressed the need for conformity, grooming, and patriotism, often at the expense of anything remotely considered unique or creative.
…of course, not ALL the activities. And our hero would never do that! That's only for pot-smoking, rock 'n' roll listening, Commie-loving, integration-pushing hipsters who beat on bongos and wear black all the time.
Sit back and enjoy the goofiness. Of course, have students question the moral underpinnings of these films–though that may label them Communists! God forbid!

Here comes a really esoteric feature: Dynamically generated but statically served pages, i.e. pages should be delivered as pure static pages (read from the filesystem and just passed through), but they have to be generated dynamically by the webserver if missing. This way you can have CGI-generated pages which are statically served unless one (or a cronjob) removes the static contents. Then the contents gets refreshed.
Here a request to page.html leads to a internal run of a corresponding page.cgi if page.html is still missing or has filesize null. The trick here is that page.cgi is a usual CGI script which (additionally to its STDOUT) writes its output to the file page.html. Once it was run, the server sends out the data of page.html. When the webmaster wants to force a refresh the contents, he just removes page.html (usually done by a cronjob).

Die Schlacht bei Agen fand im Sommer 107 v. Chr. zwischen römischen Legionen unter Lucius Cassius Longinus gegen ein gemischtes Heer der Tiguriner, Tougener, Kimbern und Teutonen unter dem Tiguriner Divico statt. Dieses Gefecht war die zweite Schlacht in den Kimbernkriegen und endete mit einer Niederlage der Römer.

Vorgeschichte
Die germanischen Stämme der Ambronen, Kimbern und Teutonen waren vom Norden hergezogen und es schlossen sich den großen Marschsäulen viele kleinere germanische und keltische Stämme an. So auch Teile der Helvetenstämme der Tiguriner und Tougener, die sich 111 v. Chr. den Kimbern und Teutonen anschlossen. Da diese Marscharmeen nicht geschlossen durch das bewaldete Gelände Südgalliens ziehen konnten, teilten sie sich auf. Ein Teilheer, in dem sich Angehörige aller Stämmen mischten, wurde vom tigurinischen Stammesherzog Divico angeführt. Er führte es durch das Stammesgebiet des keltischen Nitiobrogen, entlang der Garonne in Richtung der Stadt Tolosa, wo er sich reiche Beute versprach.

Die Römer sandten den Invasoren zum Schutz ihrer Provinz ein Heer entgegen, das vom Feldherrn und Konsul Lucius Cassius Longinus und dessen Legaten, dem Konsular Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus, angeführt wurde. Das römische Heer marschierte dem feindlichen Heerzug im Sommer 107 v. Chr. entlang der Garonne entgegen. Nahe dem keltischen Oppidum am Ort des heutigen Agen am Ufer der Garonne gerieten sie in einen Hinterhalt Divicos.

Verlauf
Das Tal der Garonne war bei Agen von bewaldeten Hügeln umgeben, in denen Divico seine Kämpfer – von den Römern unbemerkt – für einen Hinterhalt in Stellung bringen konnte. Er teilte seine Truppen in drei Treffen ein. Seine Tiguriner formierten sich im Zentrum, die restlichen Kämpfer bildeten die Flügel und hielten sich im Unterholz versteckt.

Die Tiguriner eröffneten den Angriff auf die am rechten Ufer der Garonne marschierenden Römer. Es gelang ihnen, die Römer dazu zu verleiten ihnen in den Wald zu folgen. Dort im Kampf mit den Tigurinern gebunden, fielen die in beiden Flanken versteckten Flügel über die römischen Truppenverbände her, die sich nun von drei Seiten mit Feinden umgeben sahen, während sie mit der Garonne im Rücken kaum Platz zum Ausweichen hatten. Bald brach Panik unter den Römern aus und viele wandten sich zur Flucht. Lucius Cassius Longinus, Lucius Piso und ein Großteil der römischen Soldaten wurden getötet, dem Rest von ihnen gelang die Flucht in ihr befestigtes Lager, wo sie sich unter dem Kommando von Gaius Popillius verschanzten.

Gaius Popillius kapitulierte schließlich unter demütigenden Bedingungen. Er und seine Männer erhielten freien Abzug, mussten aber die Hälfte ihrer mitgeführten Habe zurücklassen, Geiseln stellen, sowie unter dem Spott der Sieger ohne Waffen und Rüstungen durch das Joch schreiten (siehe Gemälde).

Folgen
Die erhebliche Schwächung der römischen Truppenpräsenz in der Region hatte zur Folge, dass die zur römischen Provinz gehörige Stadt Tolosa, deren Einwohner dem Keltenstamm der Volker entstammten, gegen die Römer rebellierte und ihre römische Garnison in Ketten legte. Immerhin stießen Divico sowie die anderen Teilheere der Kimbern und Teutonen nach dem Sieg bei Agen zunächst in andere keltische Gebiete vor, statt die römische Provinz Gallia ulterior heimzusuchen. Dadurch hatte der römische Konsul Quintus Servilius Caepio Gelegenheit, Tolosa durch Verrat zurückzuerobern, bevor er im Oktober 105 v. Chr. den Kimbern und Teutonen in der Schlacht bei Arausio unterlag.

Später, im Gallischen Krieg 58 v. Chr., war die Demütigung durch die Niederlage bei Agen bei den Römern und bei Gaius Iulius Caesar noch in so starker Erinnerung, dass er es als Freudenbotschaft dem Senat mitteilte, als er die Tiguriner an der Saône schlug und seinen Sieg als Rache für die Schmach von Agen deklarierte. Der bei Agen gefallene Lucius Piso war der Großvater von Caesars gleichnamigem Schwiegervater.

Rezeption
Die Schlacht wurde im 19. Jahrhundert in zahlreichen patriotisch-nationalistischen Gemälden dargestellt, und man beging den Fehler, die Schlacht am Genfersee zu lokalisieren. Außerdem gab es zahlreiche Gedichte und Heldengesänge über dieses Ereignis.

Meeting rooms and boardrooms are never complete with the requisite table and chairs. Although this room is not used as much designated workspaces, boardrooms still have to be well-kept, updated, and fully furnished. This room is where executives take their guests for meetings and discussion.
When buying any type of furniture, be it tables, chairs or cabinet, knowing the space or dimensions of the area where it will be used is very important. Having a grand, elegant and impressive table which will eat up all the space in the room is useless.
There will be no more space to fit matching chairs or any console and cabinets in the room. A very small conference table in a very large boardroom is also a sorry sight.
It's best to consider the number of people that usually attends the meeting to determine the size of the table and the number of chairs to buy. The tables and chair should also be proportionate to the size of all the other furniture in the boardroom.
Don't forget to consider where the power outlets are located, the best lighting directions and the location of the doors and other furniture in the room.
To create a professional ambience in the boardroom, it is best to go for high quality and durable furniture suited for corporate setups. These can be more expensive than regular furniture, but companies may be able to get big discounts because of bulk furniture orders.
It is important that furniture in the boardroom be of excellent quality because of the calibre of people who attend meetings and conferences. It's also imperative that they are made from durable and long-lasting materials.
Another consideration for choosing and buying furniture for the meeting room is the overall theme of the office or company. Some business owners prefer a tough, masculine looking room, but there are also those that want something neutral.
There are also some companies that design their boardroom according to the product or service that they endorse. It can be challenging to choose items that will fit a theme. In this case, the company may hire a professional interior decorator.
Boardrooms and conference rooms are where the best ideas are born, and very important decisions are made. It should have a professional look yet should not be intimidating to encourage open communication and collaboration.
For some companies, this is also a showroom to impress clients and investors. A bit of research and some thoughtful consideration is needed when looking for items to furnish these kinds of rooms.

Faced With Active Shooters & Campus Carry, College Presidents Want $74M For Safety
By Lynn Hatter • Dec 17, 2015
Credit Association of Florida Colleges
Florida's public college presidents are putting the final touches on their legislative wish list. And they're betting on a controversial campus carry gun bill to go down in flames.
The Colleges want $80 million for workforce programs. College of Central Florida President Jim Henningson says local hospitals are "banging on the door" for his school to expand in order to fill workforce demands in the healthcare industry:
"Not being able to meet that demand, because our price point is so low, we don't have the investment dollars. Without some sort of capacity expansion, our hospitals are just frustrated, and I am too," he told colleagues during a Thursday conference call.
Meanwhile, recent shootings at colleges and universities have campus presidents worried. They're asking lawmakers for $74 million to expand safety programs, including hiring more officers and equipment. The figure was based on the question of how much it would cost schools to increase safety if a bill allowing guns at colleges and universities were to pass. But now presidents say the money is necessary to defend schools in active-shooter situations.
"I think the change in the argument is that it's not related to the gun bill, its related to what we think we have to do to minimize damages as it relates to the whole, new world that we live in and the potential for active shooters," said State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota President Carol Probstfeld.
Presidents are hoping the bill stalls out in the Florida Senate, just as it did last year.
"We believe right now the bill is stalled at Senate Judiciary," said Association of Florida Colleges Executive Director Michael Brawer. "However, we are concerned that if it does get agenda'd in Senate Judiciary it's likely to pass, given the makeup of that committee."
If it manages to get past that committee, the colleges hope Senator David Simmons, head of the chamber's Rules committee, will be open to amending the bill with language allowing schools to opt out. House version has been cleared for a full chamber vote when lawmakers reconvene in January.
Correction: The quote regarding active shooters was misattributed to Florida State College at Jacksonville President Cynthia Bioteau. It was said by Carol Probstfeld, President of State College of Florida,Manatee-Sarasota.
