VANCOUVER, Washington, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytoDyn Inc. (OTC.QB: CYDY), ("CytoDyn" or the "Company"), a late-stage biotechnology company developing leronlimab (Vyrologix or PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist with the potential for multiple therapeutic indications, announced today Scott Kelly, M.D., CytoDyn's Chief Medical Officer will present "The Role of Leronlimab to Treat TNBC" at the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Drug Development Digital Summit 2021 on April 28 at 2:00 pm PT / 5:00 pm ET. This exclusive digital event is not available to the public. The event's website can be located at www.tnbc-summit.com.
Scott Kelly, M.D., CytoDyn's Chairman of the Board of Directors, Head of Business Development and Chief Medical Officer, commented, "We are excited about this opportunity to share with the medical and scientific communities the encouraging early indications suggested in TNBC patients treated with our monoclonal antibody, leronlimab. The FDA granted our drug with a Fast Track designation, and we are very pleased with the drug's mechanism of action in the tumor microenvironment."
About Leronlimab (PRO 140)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted CytoDyn Fast Track designation to explore two potential indications using leronlimab to treat HIV and metastatic cancer. The first indication is combination therapy with HAART for HIV-infected patients, and the second is for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Leronlimab is an investigational humanized IgG4 mAb that blocks CCR5, a cellular receptor important in HIV infection, tumor metastases, and other diseases, including NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis). Leronlimab has been studied in 11 clinical trials involving more than 1,200 people and met its primary endpoints in a pivotal Phase 3 trial (leronlimab combined with standard antiretroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients).
Leronlimab is a viral-entry inhibitor in HIV/AIDS. It masks CCR5, thus protecting healthy T cells from viral infection by blocking the predominant HIV (R5) subtype from entering those cells. Nine clinical trials have demonstrated leronlimab could significantly reduce or control HIV viral load in humans. The leronlimab antibody appears to be a powerful antiviral agent with fewer side effects and less frequent dosing requirements than currently used daily drug therapies.
Cancer research has shown CCR5 may play a role in tumor invasion, metastases, and tumor microenvironment control. Increased CCR5 expression is an indicator of disease status in several cancers. Published studies have shown blocking CCR5 can reduce tumor metastases in laboratory and animal models of aggressive breast and prostate cancer. Leronlimab reduced human breast cancer metastasis by more than 98% in a murine xenograft model. As a result, CytoDyn is conducting two Phase 2 human clinical trials, one in mTNBC, which was granted Fast Track designation by the FDA in 2019, and a second in a basket trial which encompasses 22 different solid tumor cancers.
The CCR5 receptor appears to play a central role in modulating immune cell trafficking to sites of inflammation. After completing two clinical trials with COVID-19 patients (a Phase 2 and a Phase 3), CytoDyn initiated a Phase 2 investigative trial for post-acute sequelae of SARS COV-2 (PASC), also known as COVID-19 Long-Haulers. This trial will evaluate the effect of leronlimab on clinical symptoms and laboratory biomarkers to further understand the pathophysiology of PASC. It is currently estimated that between 10-30% of those infected with COVID-19 develop long-term sequelae. Common symptoms include fatigue, cognitive impairment, sleep disorders, and shortness of breath. If this trial is successful, CytoDyn plans to pursue clinical trials to evaluate leronlimab's effect on immunological dysregulation in other post-viral syndromes, including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial for NASH to evaluate the effect of leronlimab on liver steatosis and fibrosis. Preclinical studies revealed a significant reduction in NAFLD and a reduction in liver fibrosis using leronlimab. There are currently no FDA approved treatments for NASH. NASH is a leading cause of liver transplant. About 30 to 40 percent of adults in the U.S. live with NAFLD, and 3 to 12 percent of adults in the U.S. live with NASH.
CytoDyn is a late-stage biotechnology company developing innovative treatments for multiple therapeutic indications using leronlimab, a novel humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the CCR5 receptor. CCR5 appears to play a critical role in the ability of HIV to enter and infect healthy T-cells. The CCR5 receptor also appears to be implicated in tumor metastasis and immune-mediated illnesses, such as GvHD and NASH.
CytoDyn has successfully completed a Phase 3 pivotal trial using leronlimab combined with standard antiretroviral therapies in HIV-infected treatment-experienced patients. CytoDyn has been working diligently to refile its Biologics License Application ("BLA") for this HIV combination therapy since receiving a Refusal to File in July 2020 and subsequently meeting with the FDA telephonically to address their written guidance concerning the filing. CytoDyn expects to refile its BLA in the first half of the calendar year 2021 or shortly thereafter.
CytoDyn also completed a Phase 3 investigative trial with leronlimab used as a once-weekly monotherapy for HIV-infected patients. CytoDyn plans to initiate a registration-directed study of leronlimab monotherapy indication. If successful, it could support a label extension approval. Clinical results to date from multiple trials have shown that leronlimab can significantly reduce the viral burden in people infected with HIV. Moreover, a Phase 2 clinical trial demonstrated that leronlimab monotherapy could prevent viral escape in HIV-infected patients; several patients on leronlimab's Phase 2 monotherapy extension arm have remained virally suppressed for more than six years. There have been no strong safety signals identified in patients administered leronlimab in multiple disease spectrums, including patients with HIV, COVID-19 and Oncology.
CytoDyn is also conducting a Phase 2 clinical trial with leronlimab in mTNBC, a Phase 2 basket trial in solid tumor cancers (22 different cancer indications), Phase 2 investigative trial for post-acute sequelae of SARS COV-2, also known as COVID-19 Long-Haulers, and a Phase 2 clinical trial for NASH. CytoDyn has already completed two trial in COVID-19 patients (a Phase 2 and a Phase 3) and is in the process of conducting an additional COVID-19 Phase 3 trial for mechanically ventilated critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Chris Evans Stars In Apple TV+'s Defending Jacob
Story from TV Shows
Chris Evans Goes From Zaddy To Daddy In Chilling New Apple Series
Alexis Reliford
Photo: Courtesy of Apple TV+.
Captain America may have put down his shield, but Chris Evans is still fighting crime.
Defending Jacob, just released a first look at the new limited series that will launch on Apple TV+ this spring. It follows an assistant district attorney who investigates the slaying of a 14-year-old boy and discovers his teenage son is a suspect.
Yes, Evans is going from zaddy to daddy. And from the looks of the first-look photos, things are going to get very dark.
The eight-episode series is based on William Landay's 2012 novel of the same name, though the show's creator, Mark Bomback, suggests not Googling anything before watching, if you're not already familiar with the story. If you decide to ignore this advice though, "you'd get sort of a version of events that would skew somewhat differently," by the time you watch he said.
The cast also includes Evan's Knives Out co-star Jaeden Martell, Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery, Pablo Schreiber, and Get Out's Betty Gabriel.
The show is a dramatic departure for Evans and the alien-fighting, patriot that his name has become synonymous with. It also marks Evans' first TV role in almost two decades, which explains why he was so interested in the series, which he also executive produces.
"I think TV right now, those creative minds are given a bit more freedom," he told Scarlett Johansson during a Variety Studio: Actors on Actors chat in November. "It feels like movies sometimes get inundated with studio notes, and all of a sudden, what was once an original idea becomes boiled down to the lowest common denominator...I think that's why people may be turning away, and looking to things like streaming service shows that actually are innovative."
Defending Jacob will debut on Apple TV+ on Friday, April 24.

YP3A has been the contest call sign of National Children' S Palace Radioclub (YO3KPA) for about 20 years.
The Founding Father of this radio club is Sandy, YO3ND, who had worked at the National Children's Palace for 38 years before he retired in 2010. Nowadays Daniel, (Florin)YO3GOD, Sandy's son, is aiming to obtain the same results.
Sandy YO3ND ex YO3AWC (chairman 1974-2010) and Nicu YO3CB (chairman 1954-1974), the founders of National Children's Palace Radio club YO3KPA.
Sandy commenced work at the National Children s Palace in 1973. He is The Parent, the technical builder, not only an electronics tutor at National Children s Palace. He has always been the greatest operator who taught, who raised beginner operators who now are top excellence in different teams all over the world.
Part of the 1983 WPX winning team -- YP3A. The only time this call sign was used outside National Children's Palace.
In 1996 Sandy, helped by Ciprian YO3FWC/N2YO, began his project: YP3A. This call sign, now the contest call of The National Children's Palace (YO3KPA) was the one used by the Romanian National Team which scored 1st Place in the world in 1983 WPX contest . That team was made up of aces like Andy-YO3AC, Radu-YO4HW, Costel –YO8BAM, Vasile-YO3AAJ, Pit-YO3JW, Lix – YO3NP.
December 1996 was the beginning of Florin (Daniel) – YO3GOD as ham. He grew up together with the YP3A project. Daniel had always taken part in all contesting teams for 14 years, until 2010 when Sandy retired because a heart attack. From that time, Daniel took up his role, helping YP3A raise new generations.
Back in the day, Sandy - YO3ND, and Ciprian – YO3FWC (N2YO nowadays) were at the beginning of a great story which is now going further, after 20 years of continuous contesting. Sandy is still putting effort in, even he retired in 2010. Ciprian left us in 2002, currently being part of the NR4M team.
In 2001, in CQWW-CW Tibi – YO9GZU joined our team.
Around 2002-2003, Mircea YO3GDA (YO3XX) joins the YP3A story. He brought his friend Alex - YO3HAE ( YO3HA) over, with whom he was involved in HST at YO3KSB radio club alongside Vasile – YO3AAJ.

Watchmen Episode 3 Review – She Was Killed by Space Junk
By Jesse Lab November 4, 2019
This review contains spoilers for Watchmen, episode 3, "She Was Killed by Space Junk."
After two episodes of intrigue and setup, Watchmen is continuing to take its time to establish its world and create a compelling mystery. Despite the Tulsa police force still reeling from the death of Chief Judd and continuing their crusade against the 7th Cavalry, the results of their efforts are not shown. Instead, the scope pulls back even further to show what the surviving members of the original Watchmen are up to.
"She Was Killed by Space Junk" spends nearly its entire runtime reintroducing us to Silk Spectre/Laurie Jupiter, now going by Laurie Blake (played by Jean Smart of Legion), who works for the U.S. government like her father. Her change in last name reflects how age has made the character more cynical and apathetic towards the state of the world. Her introduction, where she leads a sting operation against a local vigilante, almost frames her as being a Comedian 2.0. She frequently calls all current masked vigilantes — and by extension the officers in Tulsa that wear masks — jokes. There are even elements of Rorschach thrown into her new ideology. Laurie comes across as exhausted at how hardly anything has changed despite her efforts in the '80s, going so far as to quote Rorschach.
What's notable is that her assignment in Tulsa isn't to bring in the 7th Cavalry, but instead to discover the true culprit behind Judd's murder. Along with this comes world-building: Senator Keene instituted the Defense of Police Act to mask officers, the program has only been implemented so far in Tulsa, and the Russians are attempting their own experiments with intrinsic fields. Unlike the information we learned last week, none of these details feel particularly relevant, with characters brushing these points aside as quickly as they appear.
One might think Laurie's arrival to apprehend Judd's murderer and uncover the truth in Tulsa would pick up the plot pace. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Laurie checking in on characters like Looking Glass and Angela yields little beyond showcasing Laurie's new sternness and belittling approach to masked individuals. No progress is made towards solving the case, leaving us with an episode whose sole purpose is just to reintroduce her. It comes across more as Watchmen spinning its wheels, which is not a good sign for a show that only has a handful of episodes left.
We get another strange interlude from Jeremy Irons, who is now confirmed to be Adrian Veidt, performing experiments with his cavalcade of cloned servants. The more that these sequences appear, the more that they feel fundamental, yet inconsequential. Adrian is under captivity by a mysterious figure known as "The Game Warden," though the imprisonment is consensual, with the two figures at odds over Adrian's experiments. Adrian is currently so far removed from the plot that it may be a while until his connection to the main plot becomes clear. But now that the events in Tulsa have been reframed as an insular event rather than a national crisis, Lindeloff and crew will have to do a lot of stretching to justify his inclusion.
It didn't hit me until Judd's funeral, where a suicide bomber attempted to murder most of the Tulsa police force and called Senator Keene "a race traitor," but the show seems to have lost a lot of its initial theming. The premiere had such a biting commentary on the state of race relations and the role of the police in society that it felt like that would be the show's driving force. Now that drive has been put on the back burner in favor of fan service. More so than any Watchmen episode so far, "She Was Killed by Space Junk" seems like an epilogue to the original comic, confirming the state of all of its main cast of characters. We see Rorschach's published journal, Doctor Manhattan on Mars receiving infrequent communications from people, and the implication that Nite Owl is in prison, or at the very least detained by the government.
That's all well and good, but it comes at a cost of the original characters introduced for this show. Angela only appears in two scenes, and while Regina King still commands the screen, she feels like an afterthought in her own show. "She Was Killed by Space Junk" is trying to cater to two very different crowds with the results feeling muddy at best. It simultaneously wants to continue the story from the original comic yet also tell its own story, but the two are not meshing together. I know last week I was asking for more connection to the original series, but that request is coming off as a monkey's paw wish here. The throwbacks and references were just plain distracting.
Thankfully, if there's one constant where Watchmen excels, it's the soundtrack. Composed by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails with his frequent collaborator Atticus Ross, the soundtrack has a strong twinge of techno with some great rock instrumentals. The low, dulcet tones during the funeral scene and Laurie's telephone conversation with Doctor Manhattan helped me focus on the seriousness and somberness of the occasion. A good soundtrack is one that is able to enhance a situation without drawing too much attention to itself, which Watchmen is easily doing.
But that strength is vastly overshadowed by just how little happened in this episode, with no sign of where the show may go from here. Next episode will hopefully continue from the events of the second episode, with the preview showing Angela confronting Looking Glass with Judd's KKK uniform. Watchmen is a slow burn, but unlike shows like Westworld where active viewers can telegraph major revelations from the breadcrumbs the show drops, Watchmen isn't offering up a compelling-enough mystery to get invested in. There are too many balls the show is trying to juggle, which is seriously impacting the central narrative. Next episode needs a clearer direction because as it stands, "She Was Killed by Space Junk" is the weakest episode of the show so far.

Nellie was a committed fighter for human rights and social reform in Canada at a time when women were expected to stay at home and have babies. Nellie is most remembered for her fight to get women the vote. In 1914, she and other members of the Political Equality League staged a mock parliament that turned the tables, satirizing the dangers of allowing men the right to vote. The play was entertaining and effective; it began a turn of the tide for the government of the day in the province. In 1916, Manitoba was the first province to grant women the right to vote, the rest of Canada soon followed.

Ukraine is expecting to get a visa-free regime with the European Union from January 1, 2016, a diplomatic source has told Ukrainian online newspaper Apostrof.
According to the source, the Ukrainian side is insisting on this date before the Eastern Partnership summit in Riga, which will be held on May 21-22.
However, according to the publication, the date of the visa-free regime for Ukraine may not be mentioned in the final declaration on the results of the Riga Summit. Negotiations are underway.

Francisco Macías Nguema, diktator Ekvatorialne Gvineje, * 1. januar 1924, Nsegayong, Rio Muni, Španska Gvineja (danes Ekvatorialna Gvineja), † 29. september 1979, Bioko, Ekvatorialna Gvineja.

Po osamosvojitvi leta 1968 je postal prvi predsednik Ekvatorialne Gvineje. Kmalu po prevzemu oblasti si je prisvojil absolutno politično moč ter s podporniki pričel vladavino kulta osebnosti in terorja, usmerjenega proti pripadnikom drugih ljudstev, intelektualcem, političnim nasprotnikom in zahodnjakom. Do leta 1979, ko je bil strmoglavljen in usmrčen, je državo zapustila ali bila pobita tretjina prebivalcev. Njegov režim naj bi bil po ocenah odgovoren za smrt preko 50.000 ljudi, s čimer se uvršča med najokrutnejše v sodobni zgodovini in je primerljiv z vladavino Idija Amina v Ugandi.

Življenjepis
Rodil se je v družini pripadnikov bantujskega ljudstva Fang v vasi Nfenga na celinskem delu tedanje kolonije Španska Gvineja in se šolal v lokalnih misijonarskih šolah. Leta 1944 je postal nižji uradnik pri kolonialni administraciji, leta 1951, po nekaj vmesnih letih dela na svoji plantaži kave, pa sodni tolmač v kraju Mongomo na vzhodu države. Kasneje je postal župan Mongoma. Do leta 1967, ko se je pričel proces osamosvojitve Ekvatorialne Gvineje, se je povzpel do funkcije v kolonialni vladi in je na prvih svobodnih predsedniških volitvah naslednje leto izzval ter premagal takratnega predsednika vlade Bonifacia Onduja Eduja z radikalno nacionalističnim programom.

Kmalu se je izkazalo, da je bil Macías Nguema po značaju paranoičen in je imel izrazit manjvrednostni kompleks, kar je botrovalo številnim bizarnim, pogosto tudi krvavim ekscesom njegove vladavine. V roku nekaj mesecev po izvolitvi je z grožnjami izgnal španskega ambasadorja in njihovo vojaško predstavništvo. Tudi Ondu Edu je odšel v izgnanstvo in se naslednje leto vrnil, domnevno z načrtom za državni udar, a je bil ujet in usmrčen. Leta 1970 je Macías Nguema ustanovil Združeno narodno delavsko stranko in prepovedal opozicijo, hkrati je dal zgraditi razkošno in utrjeno predsedniško palačo. Dve leti kasneje se je proglasil za dosmrtnega predsednika, vodjo naroda in stranke, vrhovnega poveljnika vojske ter »velikega mojstra izobraževanja, znanosti in kulture«. Aretirani in po hitrem postopku usmrčeni so bili številni dejanski ali domnevni politični nasprotniki. Tako je dal za božič 1975 postreliti 150 političnih zapornikov na stadionu v Malabu ob spremljavi skladbe »Those Were the Days« pevke Mary Hopkin, ki je donela iz ozvočenja. Preganjal je tudi katoličane, ki so predstavljali večino prebivalstva, in prepovedal Cerkev. Namesto tega je uzakonil tradicionalno afriško kulturo, kar je med drugim pomenilo prepoved zasebnih šol in zahodne medicine. Leta 1976 je z novo ustavo zapovedal »afrikanizacijo« osebnih imen, začenši s svojim, prevzel je ime Masie Nguema Biyogo Ñegue Ndong in dal preimenovati tudi številne kraje v državi.

V času svoje vladavine je povzročil strm padec gospodarstva in državo s pregonom tujih predstavnikov osamil. Zaradi nasilja je iz Ekvatorialne Gvineje odšlo tudi 35.000 nigerijskih migrantskih delavcev na plantažah kakava na otoku Bioko. Z Zakonom o obveznem delu (1972) jih je nadomestil z delavci iz svojega ljudstva Fang, ki pa zaradi neznanja niso mogli vzdrževati proizvodnje. Suženjske razmere je takrat obsodilo več mednarodnih organizacij. Ob katastrofalnem vodstvu je postala država še bolj odvisna od Španije, ki jo je Macías Nguema sicer pogosto javno krivil za gospodarske težave.

Proti koncu 1970. let je že očitno kazal znake manične motnje, saj se je denimo v javnosti pogovarjal s prividi ljudi, ki jih je dal usmrtiti, a so oblast pomagali vzdrževati njegovi sorodniki in rojaki, s katerimi se je obdal, ter tuji najemniški vojaki. To se je spremenilo leta 1979, ko je pobil nekaj poveljnikov narodne garde, ker so se mu pritožili glede plače, med njimi enega od svojih nečakov. Drug nečak, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, se je ob tem zavedel, da je celo kot član ožjega družinskega kroga v nevarnosti, zato je zbral podpornike in strmoglavil strica v državnem udaru 3. avgusta 1979. Macías Nguema je bil aretiran, naslednji mesec ga je sodišče obsodilo za umore in korupcijo ter konec septembra 1979 usmrtilo.

Researchers from the University of Notre Dame offer new insights into conditions that might develop at radioactive material repositories, such as the one planned for the Yucca Mountains in Nevada, in a study published this week in the journal Science.p. Peter C. Burns, Massman Professor of Civil Engineering and Geological Sciences, and Karrie-Ann Hughes, a doctoral student in the department, studied the stability of uranyl minerals containing peroxide. Two minerals – studtite and metastudite – are the only known peroxide-bearing minerals.p. Numerous laboratory studies have been designed to stimulate the alteration of spent nuclear fuel under conditions similar to those expected at the Yucca Mountain radioactive material depository, which is scheduled to open in 2010. However, these studies have concentrated on uranyl oxides and uranyl silicates as the dominant products involved in the alteration of spent nuclear fuels, rather than on uranyl peroxides such as studtite and metastudtite.p. Burns and Hughes have found that studtite and metastudtite may be important alteration phases of nuclear waste under long-term storage, possibly at the expense of the more commonly anticipated uranyl oxides and silicates. Their research indicates that natural radioactivity in a uranium deposit or the radioactivity of nuclear waste can create sufficient water for studtite formation.p. Studtite also has been found on the surface of spent nuclear fuel contained in K East Basins of the Hanford, Wash., nuclear site and on nuclear material after the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant accident.p. Burns and Hughes suggest that uranyl peroxides must be considered in the assessing the impact of uranyl materials on the release of radioactivity from nuclear waste in a depository.p. Katheryn B. Helean and Alexandra Navrotsky of the University of California, Davis, also participated in the study.

In the CHE ("Center for High School Development") University Rankings for 2014/15, ZU is again ranked among Germany's top universities and colleges. In the field of economics, ZU is the highest ranked university in all of Germany. Above all, satisfaction with general study conditions and the studyability of the subjects was rated as outstanding.
Following the old builders' rite, ZU has a topping-out ceremony for the new ZF campus in Fallenbrunnen. In total there will be around 14,500 square meters of gross floor area, about half of which will be provided by old buildings, with the other half newly built. This should be in operation for the 2015 fall semester.
For its quality assurance system in the field of studying and teaching, ZU is to be awarded with so-called "System Accreditation" by the accreditation council and the ACQUIN agency – the first private university with an interdisciplinary business sciences, social sciences, and cultural sciences study program. Thus, ZU can autonomously broaden and further develop the programs on offer based on the accreditation process. In its programs it is also responsible for compliance with national and international quality standards as well as guidelines relating to college legislation.
ZU is officially starting the construction and renovation works for its new ZF campus. Holding jackhammers, Prof. Dr. Stephan A. Jansen (President of ZU), Katja Völker, (executive board member of ZU), Andreas Brand (Lord Mayor of Friedrichshafen), and Dr. Stefan Sommer (ZF Chairman) symbolically give the go-ahead for the project in the former barracks area at No. 3 Fallenbrunnen. The building project is being made possible thanks to a donation of 20 million euro from ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
ZU opens ContainerUni in Fallenbrunnen in October 2012. Until such time as ZU's new ZF Campus can be moved into, the ContainerUni will serve as temporary premises for students, teachers and employees. For this very reason the ideas and opinions of the ZU students were taken into account during the design phase. The 2,500 square meter space comprises eleven seminar rooms, sixty offices, an "Open Test House" for student activities and the ZU café "Mundvoll" ("Mouthful").
ZF Friedrichshafen AG donates a total of 20 million euro to the ZU Foundation. This is the largest single donation towards asset growth in the history of ZU. Through these methods, the foundation trust of the university is in a position to finance the expansion and renovation of the former barracks building at No. 3 Fallenbrunnen.
On the recommendation of the German Council of Science and Humanities, ZU was given the right to independently award doctoral and postdoctoral degrees (professorial teaching qualification) by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Arts and Sciences (MWK), thereby formally achieving scientific and research-oriented parity with the state universities.
Winner of "Germany's Most Committed University"
ZU is awarded a top prize in the sponsorship scheme entitled "More than Research and Teaching – Colleges in Society" which is run by Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft and Stiftung Mercator. ZU's special commitment to society and its concept of "University Social Responsibility", which integrates social experience-based learning into its degree programs, are rewarded. With this, ZU assumes responsibility for the local community and makes a valuable contribution to the future of civil society.
ZU has 65 partner universities – worldwide and on every continent. Prestigious institutions in this group include colleges like the University of California in Berkeley, University of London's Goldsmiths College, and the Copenhagen Business School. With worldwide cooperation, ZU consistently pursues internationalization.
As an institute for further education, Zeppelin University Professional School brings together our study programs for working people who have one thing in common: they are focused less on a narrow definition of further education and more on tackling the dynamic, complex, exciting, and stimulating issues of our times. At the center of everything we do are the students with their own experiences and questions. Teaching methods, group projects, homework, independent presentations, and the possibility of drafting your own research proposal are just some aspects of this.
With over one hundred Start-Ups launched by students – from inter-city bus company "DeinBus.de" to organic cookie manufacturer "knusperreich" to social enterprise "Rock Your Life!" – ZU is among the best universities in Germany to get funding as an entrepreneur. To that end ZU brought Micro Equity GmbH (also known as "ZUME") into being. The university's own fund for entrepreneurs provides financing of up to 50,000 euro and in return gets a 10% stake in the company. Furthermore, ZUME aids them by means of a mentoring program.
Seen as a stopgap solution until the completion of the new ZF campus in 2015, the 1,600 square meter space offers plenty of room for research, for learning, and for working. In the former barracks building, seminar rooms, project rooms, and offices sit side-by-side with art- and dance studios as well as a small cafeteria. With on-site accommodation, the development of this hitherto rather peripheral and infrastructurally underdeveloped area of Friedrichshafen is forging ahead.
ZU is the first ever private college in the south of Germany to achieve accreditation by the German Council of Science and Humanities. The German Council of Science and Humanities grants institutional accreditation to ZU ZU is awarded this ultimate seal of approval in the German higher education landscape, thereby becoming the first private university in southern Germany to be successfully accredited by the German Council of Science and Humanities.
With its Bachelor's degree, ZU entered the CHE College Rankings for the first time and immediately earned a top spot among Germany's universities. They achieved 8th place in the field of Communication and Cultural Studies, 5th place in Political and Administrative Sciences and 15th place in Economics. This means that all three ZU faculties are highly rated.
At the Seemooser Horn campus, in just over a year of construction, around 17 million euro was invested in the further development of the fast growing university. The university building was designed by Fritz Hack architects in Friedrichshafen. Spanning 3,400 square meters, this double-glazed, shimmering silver cube offers an abundance of space for research, study, teaching, working, and relaxing a foyer for big events, a lounge, a cafeteria, a library, as well as seminar- and office spaces.
With effect from January 1, 2008, ZU will be a privately funded university. Connected with this is the transfer of the existing holding company to the ZU Foundation, in which all of the main sponsors of the university up to this point are represented. In this regard ZU is adopting a strategy for the future. After four years of construction, ZU is laying out numerous projects for the university's development in the coming years under the title of "ZUtwelve". In this way ZU wants to put itself in pole position among private colleges in Germany.
The Zeppelin University Society (ZU|G) was founded in December 2006 with the aim of consolidating the university's strong position in the region as well as to ideologically and financially support and facilitate the countless creative ideas of the students. Its members are friends and sponsors of the university and are comprised of citizens, businesses, and institutions predominantly from the region.
In June 2006, ZU receives its first innovative location award in the "365 Days in the Land of Ideas" competition. Special praise is reserved for their innovative approach which, alongside the interdisciplinary nature of the programs, is reflected in concepts like GlobalStudies, StudentStudies, and TandemCoaching. The "Germany – Land of Ideas" initiative (2006 – 2012), in conjunction with Deutsche Bank, rewards ideas and projects which make a lasting contribution to Germany's future.
The third ZU department – Public Management & Governance – is opened in the presence of Prof. Dr. Udo di Fabio. The idea of the university as a bridge between business, culture, and politics is thereby fully realized. National and supranational political processes, the increasing modernization of public administration, as well as leadership challenges in large administrative institutions, and the extensive field of international relations in the world of today there is hardly a course of study which reflects more pressing, more complex, and more internationally-oriented aspects of the working world than Public Management & Governance with International Relations.
At Citizens' University ZU opens its doors and invites all interested citizens to a dialogue session with prominent personalities from culture, politics, and business. Already, TV stars like Thomas Gottschalk and Günther Jauch, top scientists like historian Jan Assmann, astronaut Thomas Reiter, or business gurus like Hans-Werner Sinn and Prof. Dr. Arnulf Baring have all put themselves forward as first lecturer. At the Citizens' University, visitors experience pioneering lectures and dialogues in the familiar multidisciplinary ZU style. With this format, ZU wants to open up the region even more and bring together interested people of all ages.
In the 2003 fall semester, for the first time, 19 students start Bachelor's degrees in Economics and in Communications and Cultural Sciences. ZU is thereby one of the first German universities to introduce a two-tier system of Bachelor's and Master's degrees.
In summer 2003 Zeppelin University receives university accreditation from the state of Baden-Württemberg. Financial backing is secured through Zeppelin GmbH and Prof. Dr. Stephan A. Jansen is appointed founding president. This marks the starting point for the establishment of an innovative university on the shores of Lake Constance and with views across the Alps – in the one-time workplace of the man who gave the university its name: Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin.
More than 10,000 visitors attend the events of ZU each year – the infamous CitizensUniversity (BürgerUniversität), concerts, public lectures and much more.

Dragon Age 4's cool original concept featured spies and heists, says report
By Ian Boudreau 2019-04-09T18:47:37Z
BioWare's cancelled Dragon Age might have been something great.
Just a week after Kotaku's explosive report on the troubled development of Anthem, it's published a follow-up investigation on the next Dragon Age game. And while BioWare and EA teased what's almost certainly Dragon Age 4 at the Game Awards in December, Kotaku's reporting indicates it's a completely rebooted vision. The original Dragon Age 4 was scuttled, and the sad thing is, it sounds amazing.
According to Kotaku's report, the original version of Dragon Age 4 was codenamed Joplin, and was ramping up into the pre-production phase at BioWare in 2015 following the launch of Inquisition's final expansion, Trespasser. Dragon Age veterans Mark Darrah and Mike Laidlaw began working on concepts for the sequel, taking with them lessons learned from what sounds like a brutal production schedule of Inquisition.
The concepts that emerged initially sound exciting. The idea was that the game would center on spies working in Thedas' oldest human nation, Tevinter Imperium. In the Dragon Age fiction, it's a country ruled by a council of mages, headed up by an Imperial Archon. According to the new report, gameplay was meant to be reactive and emergent, with action sequences called "heists" making up a sizeable amount of the action.
A central idea was for the world to genuinely react to players' choices. The developers wanted to build "systemic narrative mechanics," or a way for the game to build a coherent story around the choices you make in the game.
That may be one reason that in 2017 BioWare brought in Alexis Kennedy, the founder of Failbetter Games and the writer behind Sunless Sea and Fallen London. Kennedy's games, including the recent Cultist Simulator, let players weave together bits and pieces of story and lore into narratives based almost entirely on choices.
It was an ambitious and compelling vision, and one that former BioWare developers told Kotaku were "some of the best work experiences" they'd had in the industry. But in October 2017, says the report, BioWare and EA cancelled the project.
It remains to be seen what kind of game Dragon Age 4 winds up looking like, and even Kotaku's sources admit they aren't sure. What the Dragon Age team originally envisioned for it sure sounds like a remarkable game, though. As one developer remarked, "I'm sad that game will never get made."
Hopefully, whatever the new Dragon Age is, it has a chance of ending up in our round up of the best RPGs of all time.

Disneyland has been taking advantage of the downtime for the Rivers of America that was required to squeeze in the 14-acre Star Wars-themed land to also do a little re-imagining of the 25 year old fan favorite – Fantasmic! When it returns this summer the chow will retain its original song and its main star Mickey Mouse, but it will also have new magic.
New Technology: There will be new mist screens that will combine with state-of-the-art projection technology to give guests a brighter, clearer, more vibrant visual of the animation segments than ever before.
New segments: New scenes are planned for the show. A new segment featuring Aladdin and Jasmine floating on a bed of fog during "A Whole New World" has been confirmed. Rumors of new segments include a new Pirates of the Caribbean segment replacing Peter Pan, and new scenes from The Lion King and Tangled.
Disneyland is still waiting for some final details about the Rivers of America operations to come into focus before it can announce an official opening date, but we expect to know that some time soon.
Are you looking forward to Disney adding new stories to Fantasmic! or should they leave it alone?

Manton Looks to Compete for Highland Title
11321639_G.jpg
Show Caption Hide Caption
MANTON – A year after posting its first winning season in 10 years, the Manton football program took a step back in 2015.
After going 7-3 in 2015 and reaching the postseason for the first time since 1994, the Rangers went 3-6 last season, dropping games to Johannesburg-Lewiston and Highland Conference champion McBain by a combined five points.
With improved speed on both sides of the ball, Manton is optimistic in 2016.
"This is one of the most tight-knit, family-oriented groups that I've been around," coach Travis Waddell said. "I think these players really do care about each other, they are really truly brothers, and I think in order to have a successful team that's really what you need to have.
"Overall, just with team speed offensively and defensively, we're looking to let our athletes make plays out in space, and so that's really what we are looking at moving forward. We also have a pretty decent offensive line I think, so I think that's really going to anchor our team, moving forward into the season."
The Rangers open their season at Frankfort on Aug. 26. They also have non-league games against Suttons Bay (Oct. 14) and Rogers City (Oct. 21).

Lagos Residents Seek Appointment Of Mohammed Ali As State Police Boss
November 1, 2019 Hyacinth Chinweuba	Lagos State, Mohammed Ali, Police boss
With the recent promotion of the incumbent Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos State, Zubairu Muazu to the rank of Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) and his imminent redeployment, a good number of Lagos residents have called on the Inspector General of Police and the Police Service Commission to ensure that Mohammed Ali; Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of operations succeeds Muazu as Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos State.
A sampling of opinion done by some journalists has revealed however that DCP Mohammed Ali is largely loved by many Lagos residents who are familiar with the activities of officers and men of the Lagos State Police Command.
While many of the residents spoken to, chose to remain anonymous even though, they spoke in favour of Ali becoming the Commissioner after Muazu, others like to be quoted as they are firmly convinced of their position.
One such respondent, the Managing Director, Angel Guards Security Limited, Apapa; Mr. Israel Asigbe said, "The bitter truth is that DCP Mohammed Ali has paid his dues. He was an excellent police officer when he was in Apapa where he was the Area Crime Officer before becoming the Divisional Police Officer. He proved himself.
Even when he was redeployed to Denton Police Division, he was a super cop. When he was the Commander in Charge of Area C, he also proved himself."
According to the Angel Guards boss, even as Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations at the State Command, Ali is still serving with passion and everybody is still feeling his touch.
In his words, "The truth is that Mohammed Ali is in a better position to handle the office of the Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos.
Publisher of Security Watch Africa magazine cum Crime Watch television host, Mr. Patrick Agbambu spoke in similar vein describing Ali as well qualified to take over at the exit of Muazu as Lagos Police boss.
"Ali has proven to be a man capable of handling the Lagos State Police Command. He has been tried, tested and proven to be a man who is passionate about his job," Agbambu said.
Explaining further, Agbambu said, "Just like former Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal who was DCP Operations when he assumed office as Lagos State Commissioner of Police during which he did wonderfully well, I believe Ali would also do excellently well."
Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohammed Ali is unarguably one of the officers who can proudly claim to have an in-depth knowledge of the Lagos terrain with its attendant crime characteristics. This is certainly based on the fact that out of the 29 years he has served so far in the Police Force, fourteen and half years have been spent in Lagos State alone.
The remaining fourteen and half years were spent at other police Commands such as Benue, FCT, Police Staff College, River, Bayelsa, Delta, and Kano. What this clearly shows is that Ali is more at home with fighting crime in Lagos than elsewhere since the number of years he has served in Lagos in different capacities gives him some advantage in understanding the arts and science of crime and criminality and how best to checkmate same.
Little wonder why he can audaciously tell criminals of different stock to relocate from Lagos if they would not repent as he has what it takes to pursue them to the gate of hell.
Having served at different times in Lagos as Crime Officer, Divisional Police Officer, Area Commander and currently Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations, Ali stands taller than many of his contemporaries as far as policing Lagos State is concerned.
This has become evident in light of the fact that with his foiling of bank robbery in Apapa area of Lagos in 2009 and the recovering of five AK 47 rifles with 1500 rounds of live ammunition, authorities of the Police Force have chosen to entrust him with more challenging task where-ever he is posted to serve.
Prior to his current posting in Lagos, he had served as Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Administration at the Benue Police Command after spending a few weeks as the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Zonal CIID, FCT Abuja.
At various times, he was the Area Commander in charge of Area C, Lagos, Assistant Commissioner of Police at Rivers Command and later Area B Command, Lagos.
He had also served as Divisional Police Officer in various Stations in Lagos, Bayelsa and Delta Commands.
As the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations in Lagos, Mohammed Ali has proved his mettle holding forte in a manner that gives his immediate boss – the Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu some measure of relief from the head and heartache policing Lagos could generate for whoever is in charge of the Command.
While serving in the same capacity during the immediate past administration of Imohimi Edgal, the State Commissioner of Police, DCP Ali had exhibited absolute loyalty and finesse in the discharge of his duties as the man charged with daily operational activities of Police personnel in the Lagos Command. He had combined forces with the Commissioner in leading officers and men of the Command to checkmate various types of crime in the state such that Edgal's administration recorded a decrease in crime rate in the state.
Cultists, kidnappers, armed robbers, ritualists, and other sundry criminals were given a hard fight in every aspect with the combined efforts of Lagos residents through the instrumentality of Edgal's community policing partnership initiative, which provided an opportunity for the civil populace to assist the police with relevant crime information.
DCP Ali with a Bachelor of Science degree in Library/Political Science from University of Maiduguri, a Master of Science in Industrial Relations from Delta State University and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Industrial Relations from Irish University Business School, Pembroke Square, UK, can best be described as a thoroughbred professional police who brings intellectualism to bear on his operational activities. He does not get intoxicated with the powers of a super cop as he strongly believes in the rule of law in every circumstance particularly in policing.
He also believes that fighting crime is a collective effort and would not hesitate to tell anyone who cares to listen that the decline in criminal activities in Lagos in recent time particularly in the last two years was as a result of a partnership with various stakeholders and state government positive intervention in security matters.
The Lagos Command with Ali as DCP Operations in the last two years under the leadership of Edgal and now Muazu has had far-reaching partnership interactions with the local vigilante groups, Community leaders, religious and youth leaders among others to support Intelligence gathering towards tracking down criminals.
With the collaboration of these relevant stakeholders and a subsequent decrease in crime rate, Ali can proudly say that Lagos is the safest place to live in Nigeria.
His in-depth knowledge of the Lagos environment and its demographics coupled with the awareness of daily influx of more migrant populations from other states seeking a settlement in Lagos, Ali stands robustly qualified to head the Lagos Command anytime the position becomes vacant.
It is historically revealing that Lagos as a microcosm of the larger Nigeria has the tendency to warrant a more careful choice of who is appointed the Commissioner of Police to take charge. The good people of Lagos are always at home with a police commissioner who understands their cultural diversity and the cosmopolitan dynamics that occasionally become the priority of government with respect to economic investment interest.
Unarguably, DCP Ali fits in, as a detribalised Nigerian police officer who has the ability to amiably relate socio-culturally with all manner of people of different ethnic or racial extractions without playing up his own tribal swag.
Perhaps, this is ostensibly why some Lagos residents often mistake his identity. His mastery of some Nigerian languages outside his own native language has often brought him closer to the populace in Lagos and thereby making his community policing strategy work better.
He is ready to tell anyone who cares to listen to that, "We know in and out of Lagos State and we have credible informants. We act on information and intelligence and would arrive at the criminals' den and pick them like snails."

Namibia's Hidden Poaching Crisis
From the ivory black market in Okahandja, Namibia (Photo: Shi Yi)
This story is dismaying for me, as I have often written about Namibia as a model of smart conservation and anti-poaching common sense. But no place is safe in the current war on wildlife. Or, let's call it what it is –China's continuing war on wildlife.
Here's the reporting by Shi Yi, a Chinese investigative journalist working in southern Africa:
It was a quiet evening in Zambezi, until a herdsman heard a gunshot in the wilderness. By the time the police arrived, they found an elephant carcass – and the tusks had been taken.
"It could be a good trophy animal. Poachers never take small ones," said chief control warden Morgan Saisai at the Katima Mulilo office of Namibia's Ministry of Tourism and Environment (MET).
The carcass brought the number of elephants poached in Zambezi, [a region until recently known as "the Caprivi Strip"] in the far north-eastern region of Namibia, to 37 this year.
Namibia is known for its extremely dry climate and desert landscape, but Zambezi is an exception. With the Zambezi river and its tributaries flowing through lush wetlands, it is home to nearly 10,000 resident elephants and thousands of migratory elephants, according to MET.
Poachers take advantage of this. Since 2011, more than 230 elephants have been reported poached in Namibia, more than 90% of them killed in Zambezi.
In the southwest of the country, more than 100 black rhinos have been poached. In addition to these two iconic species, poaching of other animals such as lions and pangolins is also on the rise.
There are indications that Chinese are the buyers behind some of the cases. Despite the anti-poaching messages that can be seen at many places in Namibia, I was frequently approached by locals for ..

Is there any solution? Maybe the death penalty for smuggling ivory and for those who kill a protected animal? That's sickening that the law doesn't take action…

Portable Lifts for Cars 2022
Admin June 22, 2022 3 min read
Are you looking for a way to move your car up different levels in a space-saving and comfortable way? Then our car lifts are the right product for you. Whether as an access to underground parking or for easy stowage of the car, our car lifts have been designed to offer maximum parking comfort and benefit to the user.
Our vehicle lifts can overcome a height difference of up to 11 meters. Here, the car can be raised and lowered both with and without a driver. Portable car lifts are installed both inside and outside buildings. Outside, portable car lifts are equipped with a roof that closes the pit when lowering. This roof can be adapted to the surrounding environment! The areas of application of our car lifts are found in single-family houses, apartment buildings, commercial and multi-storey car parks, as well as in industrial plants. The portable car lift makes an entrance ramp obsolete – which creates new parking space. Our products are already in use all over the world. Take advantage of our experience!
Car Lift: All information, dimensions and details about car lifts
The auto lift product category is gaining popularity to counter space constraints. Compared to the entrance ramp, a car lift brings many advantages. For example, the length of an entrance ramp is about 20 meters with a difference in height of 3 meters. Also, the ramps need to be cleaned in winter and can lead to water in the underground car park during heavy rains. We use elevators to bring vehicles safely from the street to the underground car park, thus helping to minimize surface waterproofing. Below, we try to answer the most important questions about car lifts.
How does a Portable car lift work?
From a purely technical point of view, most of these are electro-hydraulic lifting systems. These are characterized above all by their small required space. Depending on the lift, a scissor lift table or a two-post lift is usually installed.
As a user, the lift works similarly to the familiar passenger lifts. After opening the gate, the vehicle is taken to the lift platform. By pressing the up / down button, the lift starts moving. Unlike passenger lifts, this button must remain pressed continuously in most cases for safety reasons (dead man control). Upon arriving at the desired floor, the exit gate opens and the vehicle can be driven off the platform.
What size should a car lift be?
The dimensions of the car lift must be calculated according to the vehicles to be parked. The trend towards larger and heavier vehicles should also be taken into consideration here. For scissor lifts we recommend a pit of approximately 6mx3m. For two-post lifts 6mx3.4m.
How much weight can a car lift?
Our scissor lift can lift a 2.5 ton load as standard. This can be increased to 3.5to upon request. The two-post lift lifts 3 tons in the standard version and 5 tons after loading.
Can people ride on car lifts?
The car lifts we offer in accordance with the Machinery Directive can move both the vehicle and the driver.
How safe is a car lift?
All our car lifts are certified according to common safety standards. The elevators are operated by a dead man control during the journey. The lift platform is continuously monitored by sensors. All access points to the car lift are also continuously monitored by sensors. When installed outdoors, our telescopic roof closes the pit so there is no danger of falling. For maintenance of the hydraulic unit under the lift, the lift is equipped with safety supports to ensure safe access to the lift shaft.

Part of: The Official History of New Zealand in the Second World War 1939–1945

Documents Relating to New Zealand's Participation in the Second World War 1939–45: Volume I
99 — Note for the New Zealand Division from General Wavell1
Note for the New Zealand Division from General Wavell1
I feel that I owe an explanation to the New Zealand Division, and especially to the 4th Infantry Brigade, regarding the recent operations in the Western Desert. I know that they are disappointed at not having taken part in the advance on Sidi Barrani or beyond, and perhaps feel hurt that they have been used for all the hard work of making defences and then have not been detailed to take part in the attack when attack became possible.
I therefore give you the reasons which influenced the decision not to use them in the advance. It was my original intention to do so. But the New Zealand Government, quite naturally and quite rightly, has always wished that the New Zealand Division should be employed in active operations only as a complete division under its own Commander. I am sure that if I had been able to explain the situation to the New Zealand Government, they would have granted permission for the 4th Infantry Brigade to be used, as they have granted permission for the special use of a part of the forces they have supplied. At the time when the decision had to be taken, however, it was still several weeks before the operations were to take place, the strictest possible secrecy was being maintained, and the number of those who knew that an operation was to take place at all was extremely limited. To consult the New Zealand Government would necessarily have involved the communication of some details of the plans to several people and possibly some discussion of them. It would have been necessary to place the Brigade under the command of the Commander of the 4th Indian Division. I felt that I could not do all this without some detailed explanation to the New Zealand Government which might have jeopardised secrecy. I therefore decided, somewhat reluctantly, not to use the New Zealand Brigade, and to use instead the 16th Infantry Brigade which I could do without reference to anyone.
As regards the use of the Australian Division for the second stage of the operations, I required a whole division, and if I had sent forward the New Zealand Brigade it would have been necessary to form a composite division of Australian and New Zealand troops, which I had been given to understand was contrary to the wishes of the New Zealand Government. It would have either broken up the New Zealand Division or would have involved a further page 82 relief at a later stage with loss of time and waste of transport. It had always been my intention that the Australian Corps should eventually take over the Western Desert, and that the New Zealand Division when complete should become the General Headquarters Reserve. This explains why I was unable to send forward the New Zealand Brigade in the second stage of the operations.
As you know, however, the assistance that has been given by the New Zealand Division to the operations in the Western Desert has been invaluable, and the recent success could not have been gained without it. The New Zealand Division has supplied its Signals, its transport, its Engineers, Railway and other personnel who have made up our shortage in these very necessary services. I should like to refer also to the magnificent work done by the Long Range Patrols who relieved me of any anxiety about the Southern Libyan Desert, from which the Italians might have threatened Upper Egypt or the Sudan.
I take this opportunity of thanking the New Zealand Division for all the assistance they have so willingly provided during the very difficult period when the defence of Egypt was dangerously weak, and I very much regret that it was not possible for them to take an even greater share in the advance from Matruh. Their turn will come before long, and I have every confidence that their leadership, training, and spirit will win them great distinction in any operation in which they take part.
