The Retirees' Club meets the 2nd Thursday of every month in the Jerry Phillips Hall at the Local Union Offices. We have a short informal meeting starting at 11:00 AM, followed by a pot luck lunch that is always out of sight. Our lunches are always the best. We have the best cooks in the county. All are welcome to attend.


Stingray: Any of various rays of the family Dasyatidae, having a whip like tail armed with one or more venomous spines capable of inflicting severe injury.
Stingrays exist in shallow waters where they feed on shellfish and crustaceans in the sand and bury themselves to hide from predators. They have a sharp barb on their tail for defense, which flips up and can pierce the skin of the ankle or foot leaving a puncture wound. This is an automatic reflex, which can only happen when they are stepped on. The best way to avoid stepping on a stingray is to shuffle your feet as you walk out through shallow water. This will scare away the stingray from its hiding place. Stingrays are not aggressive; however their sting is extremely painful. Treatment for stingray wounds includes soaking the wound in water as hot as you can stand for ½ to 1 ½ hours or until the pain is gone. Stingray wounds can cause severe allergic reactions in some people. Always report stingray injuries to the lifeguard on duty.
Jellyfish: Any of numerous usually free-swimming marine coelenterates of the class Scyphozoa, characteristically having a gelatinous, tentacled, often bell-shaped medusoid stage as the dominant phase of its life cycle.
Jellyfish are not really fish; rather, they are invertebrates that float freely in the open ocean with the currents. They have tentacles, which hang from the characteristic "bell" or head of the stingray. These tentacles are primarily used for catching food and have microscopic stinging cells, which shoot invisible harpoon like projectiles into fish and other organisms that swim into its tentacles. Sometimes jellyfish float into the surf zone and are broken apart by the waves. Usually people get stung when fragmented tentacle (which can still sting) brush against swimmers causing a mild rash and some pain and discomfort. In other more tropical oceans of the world, there are jellyfish that can cause severe allergic and neurogenic reactions and even death. In Southern California, jellyfish stings are generally harmless and discomfort and pain usually subsides in ½ hour to forty-five minutes.
Seals and Sea Lions: Any of several large-eared seals with relatively long neck and limbs, especially Zalophus californianus, of the northern Pacific.
Seals and sea lions are ocean mammals, which are quite common along the Southern California coast. They spend part of their time sunbathing on rocks, beaches, and buoys, where they can sometimes be heard barking. Much of their time is spent in the ocean hunting for fish. They are generally harmless animals but can become aggressive if they or their offspring (pups) are threatened. Sometimes they will crawl up onto the beaches to rest or warm up. Never attempt to approach, feed, or pet a seal or sea lion that has come onto land. If they appear to be injured or ill, contact the lifeguard and the proper authorities will be notified.
Shark: Any of numerous chiefly marine carnivorous fishes of the class Chondrichthyes (subclass Elasmobranchii), which are sometimes large and voracious and have a streamlined torpedolike body, five to seven gill openings on each side of the head, a large oil-filled liver, a cartilaginous skeleton, and tough skin covered with small toothlike scales.
There are many different types of sharks that exist along our coastline. Most of them are completely harmless to humans and it is almost pointless to list them as hazardous marine life. Most sharks that pose a threat to humans live in the deeper waters off the Southern California coast where there is more food for them to survive on. These sharks are elusive and are rarely sighted by beach goers. The most common sightings are of dolphins. They are quite common along the shoreline and are many times mistaken for sharks because of they have dorsal fins. Dolphins and porpoise can be easily distinguished from sharks by recognizing their up and down motion while swimming and by their curved, more rounded dorsal fins. Sharks swim with a side-to-side motion and have triangular shaped dorsal fins.
Sea Urchins: Any of various echinoderms of the class Echinoidea, having a soft body enclosed in a round, symmetrical, calcareous shell covered with long spines.
Sea Urchins are spiny relatives of the starfish that dwell in small cracks and crevices of rocks and reefs of the California coastline. They are usually well camouflaged and can be mistakenly stepped on in rocky shorelines. Their spines are not significantly dangerous but can impale the foot quite easily if they are stepped on. It is important to make sure the spine fragments are completely removed from the skin to avoid infection of the wound.
At Zuma Beach we occasionally have to worry about Jellyfish, Stingrays, and Sea lions. There has never been recorded shark attack at Zuma Beach.


If you are thinking of working in Spain, here you have some useful information that can give you an idea about working conditions in Spain and what you need to begin your new life in Spain as a legal worker, whether you are a dependent worker or you want to work on your own account.
If you think that your working conditions have been substantially altered for the worse, you are not paid the salary or wages agreed, or you feel that your employer has not held to the contract in any way, you should claim against your employer.
Spanish temporary work agencies supply temporary labour that can be hired by firms without their incurring the usual hiring and firing costs.


We are pleased to announce the availability of new data migration capabilities for Amazon RDS for MySQL. These new capabilities allow you to perform near zero downtime data migration from your external MySQL database instances (running on-premise or on Amazon EC2) to your Amazon RDS MySQL database instances and vice versa.
Until now, in order to import data from your external MySQL instance to your Amazon RDS instance you had to start by setting up a baseline (using the mysqldump or mysqlimport utilities). Then, you had to manually replay the transactions that had occurred on your external MySQL instance since the initial baseline was created. This process was difficult and error-prone. Now, with this new feature, once your initial baseline is set, you can simply configure your Amazon RDS instance as a replication target for your external MySQL instance and capture all the transactions that have occurred since the time you setup the initial baseline. For more information about this feature, please refer to the data import section of the Amazon RDS User Guide. Also, please note that this feature is only supported for MySQL database instances running MySQL 5.5.33, or 5.6.13 and above.
Furthermore, with MySQL 5.6.13 you can utilize your Amazon RDS MySQL binlogs to export your data as and when required. Please refer to the data export section of the Amazon RDS User Guide to learn more.
We hope that these new capabilities will give you an easy way to migrate your MySQL database workloads to Amazon RDS for MySQL.

Note: the complete DJ database is protected and can only be accessed with a user account on TMD. Get it here or login if you already have one!
For Organizers: Do you know all DJs who could be available at your events? This database is meant to bring you closer to finding new DJs, get inspired and explore something new.
For Dancers: TMD has many events – not just tango marathons, but also festivals and encuentros, even though it's probably much more complete in the marathons than anything else. In order to encourage tagging DJs to events, just to make it easier for people to follow who is DJing where, and also to give DJs a chance to promote their work in a central repository, this database was created to bring the two together.
Any DJ who travels longer distances for milongas, and who plays for the more advanced dancer crowd at marathons, encuentros and festivals should have a place in this database.
Can I add my profile to the database?
Yes – you need a user account at TMD, and then you can just add a new DJ profile.
My DJ profile has already been added, but not by me. How can I edit it?
Please create an account, and let me know that you want ownership of "your" DJ page.
Can I add DJs who are not there yet?
Yes. Create an account and just add them.
Why is the listing not accessible for everyone?
TMD is very well indexed by google, and since not everyone wants their name to be visible on pages they don't have control over, we decided to hide behind a "you must login" feature. This might apply to more details on TMD, like events, in the future!

Частина І», «Місячне сяйво», «Зелена книга». За роль у «Місячному сяйві» був номінований на премію Гільдії кіноакторів, «Оскар», «Золотий глобус» та отримав премію «Вибір критиків» за найкращу чоловічу роль другого плану. У 2019 році став лауреатом «Золотого глобусу» за фільм «Зелена книга» (найкращий актор другого плану).

Життєпис
Магершала народився у 1974 році в Окленді і виріс у Гейварді, штат Каліфорнія. Названий на честь молодшого сина пророка Ісаї. Вихований мамою-християнкою, він пізніше прийняв іслам, змінивши своє прізвище Гілмор на Алі, і приєднався до Ахмадійского мусульманського об'єднання. Алі навчався у Каліфорнійському коледжі Святої Марії, який закінчив у 1996 році з ученим ступенем в області масової комунікації.

Хоча Алі поступив у коледж за баскетбольною стипендією, він розчарувався у спорті. Алі зацікавився акторством, особливо після того, як взяв участь у постановці «Spunk» (адаптація оповідань Зори Ніл Герстон), що наштовхнуло на навчання після випуску у Шекспірівському театрі Каліфорнії. Після річної перерви, коли Алі працював на Gavin Report (радіо Сан-Франциско), він поступив у Нью-Йоркський університет, де отримав ступінь магістра у 2000 році.

Yeah, this is where I'm at. I'd even be content with 5 given how we slid down to 3rd worst. But 6th would be quite annoying - thankfully it's somewhat unlikely.
Missed the game but it's just as well. 29: NJD -11 30: LAK -11 Los Angeles would 'win' any tiebreakers so they have to finish with more points than the Devils.
No, this is bad news - the Devils 'winning' tiebreakers means they finish ahead. Buffalo has fewer regulation/OT wins and LA has a worse goal differential, so they would finish behind us in the event of a tie (provided the Devils don't, e.g. win a shootout and lose in regulation and Buffalo wins 2 games in regulation).
Los Angeles pulls off the stunner in Arizona. 28: BUF -8 29: NJD -10 30: LAK -11 New Jersey presently loses tiebreakers to both Buffalo and Los Angeles, so if they end up tied with either (or both) in points they will lose on tiebreakers.
With their win tonight, the Red Wings have clinched finishing ahead of the Devils. The highest the Devils can finish now is 28th.
Bad night for the tank. Glad I didn't stay up to watch the 3rd of the LA-CGY game although I would've turned it off after the 4th goal. 27: BUF, DET -7 29: NJD -10 30: LAK -12 The Devils have now clinched finishing ahead of the Senators. Sportsclubstats gives the Devils a 72% chance of finishing in 29th.
I turned off Boston-Detroit at 2nd intermission when Boston was ahead figuring they were 95% to win - imagine my surprise. 27: BUF, DET -7 29: NJD -11 30: LAK -11 31: OTT -16 Since Buffalo and Detroit play each other, there is almost no chance of finishing 27th anymore - Sportsclubstats lists it as a 3% possibility even if the Devils win out. They give a 49% chance for 29th, 43% chance for 30th. This is good.
It won't quote on my phone but whatever - McLeod not being a big piece of the future is all the more reason why losing a lot this season was so important. First, it illustrates how important it is to pick high - yes, there's some excellent players selected after McLeod but there's also a lot of misses. Meanwhile most of the top 10 are already established NHLers. Second, the Devils need another impact player. They're going to pick no worse than 7th so the odds are much better of getting one.
The Devils ice time leader last night was Connor Carrick. They played Nico 17 minutes. We can keep going here but the Devils are still short a ton of players thanks to trades and injury. They need a 2nd line and some D, but there are some bad players here who will be in Binghamton or not around at all next season. They're not far away.
Kovalchuk was used on the 4th line a decent amount this season and he has several games below 15 minutes - for a guy who is used to playing 20 minutes a game every game I imagine that feels like 5 or 6 minutes. That said, while LA's implosion makes it hard to evaluate him, I still don't think he's a player you want on your roster.
The Devils finished fourth worst but went into the lottery as the 5th worst team because Vegas would be considered the 3rd worst team. Edmonton finished 3rd to last in 2015. But yeah, to answer Jimmy's question, lower is just generally better. By finishing one position worse, the Devils would reduce their odds of drafting 6th or later significantly - they're 42% to pick 6th or 7th right now, but if they finished 3rd worst, they'd be 15% to pick 6th.

Current: Malta: Moving Forward
Malta: Moving Forward
Max Ganado, Ganado & Associates, Valletta, Malta
Max Ganado reports on the new legislation introduced as a result of Malta's ascension to the EU.
Mauritius: Life's a Beach
A FEW YEARS AGO Malta gave up its status as an offshore jurisdiction to adopt that of an international financial centre for banking, insurance, investment services and funds and trust services. Various amendments to laws and practices brought Malta in line with the required standards for membership of the EU in 2004 – they also complied with requirements of the OECD and FATF. Malta is now seeing very positive effects as a result of that decision.
There have been two major developments relating to the Trusts Act. In 1994 Malta incorporated the Hague Convention on the Recognition of Trusts allowing the free use of foreign trust laws with the concomitant protection of Maltese courts by the introduction of new provisions. Among the provisions that were introduced are those relating to protective trusts which allow the beneficial interest not to be subject to attachment by orders and liable to termination in the event of the bankruptcy of the beneficiary; the beneficiary can also be prohibited from dealing with the beneficial interest. The office of protector was also introduced, allowing settlors to minimise the risks inherent in thirdparty management of assets, especially since certain powers of the trustee can be made subject to joint decision-making. It is also possible to trace assets which are in the hands of third parties where there is a breach of trust or where there is bad faith of the acquirer.
Continuation of companies in Malta
In 2004 the Trusts (Various Laws) Amendment Act came into force and set trusts on a more secure footing by fully incorporating the institute within the domestic legal system – inter alia, detailed tax provisions were made catering for trusts, a more extensive regulatory framework was set up for trust and other fiduciary activities and the Trust and Trustees Act (TTA) made Malta an attractive jurisdiction for the administration of trusts.
Maltese law permits the re-domiciliation of companies which can be applied even to trustee companies. If the law of the state where the trustee company is registered permits, it is now possible to effect the migration of a trustee company to Malta without the problems which dissolution and re-incorporation would entail. The company remains the same person yet its residence/nationality changes, implying a change in taxation and regulation. Alternatively a branch could be opened in Malta keeping regulation in the hands of the home authority and business can be started in Malta with minimum formality – a 45 day notice to the Malta FSA on the basis of a valid licence in an 'approved jurisdiction'.
Whatever form of conducting business is chosen, the foreign law governing trusts set up by clients will continue regulating the trusts since Malta recognises the validity of foreign trusts. There are various mechanisms found in the new TTA which are designed so as not to upset existing trusts (ie, the intention of the settlor). Maltese forced heirship provisions, for example, only apply to Maltese domiciliaries and cannot effect foreign-law administered trusts.
Banks licensed in the Malta may now make use of their European passport to provide cross-border services in any EU and EEA member states, by, for example, setting up a branch or by direct services. Minimum formalities are required to be met by promoters interested in launching a new bank on the European market and Malta is proving to be a convenient platform for incorporation and licensing.
The EU is currently a major source of inspiration as regards innovations in the banking. A number of Austrian and Turkish banks are today operating within Malta for the purpose of international business and the trend is growing in the financial services industry.
Banks licensed in Malta can conduct various other activities which transcend the definition of 'business of banking' found in the Banking Act, including financial leasing, administration of securities and safe custody services and factoring. It is also possible to licence an electronic moneyi nstitution under the Banking Act, in which case, owing to the less stringent conditions attached to its license, its services must be restricted to issuing electronic money.
The 'European passport' provisions were also implemented into Maltese investment law. Where a foreigner seeks to exercise his establishment or (crossborder) service rights under the applicable provisions of the treaty and directive, he or she would still be bound to comply with the conduct of business rules issued by the MFSA (as part of the guidelines), but we have seen an enormous amount of interest relating to the establishment of fund management companies and hedge funds in Malta.
Various investment vehicles exist under Maltese law, but the most developed and time-tested is the SICAV. Unit trusts and limited partnerships are also available yet they rely on private law which has not yet reached the required stability/ certainty in practice.
Following recent legislation it is possible to 'ring fence' liabilities of various sub-funds under one SICAV (protected cells), thus facilitating the mushrooming of funds under one umbrella structure.
UCITS and non-UCITS funds follow the same application procedure for the granting of a license to act in Malta. Listing of UCITS funds is possible in Malta both for primary and secondary listing. UCITS listed in an EEA/EU jurisdiction may market their units in Malta without a licence, yet they need to notify the MFSA and must make available the fund's rules and (both their full and simplified) prospectuses. The MFSA's policy is to only issue a licence to Maltese UCITS if such Maltese UCITS appoint a management company licensed as a UCITS manager in Malta – this in line with the CESR's 2005 guidelines for supervisors regarding the amending UCITS Directives (2001/107/ EC and 2001/108/EC).
The insurance industry in Malta has grown rapidly over the past two years since Malta's accession to the EU. Nine insurance management fi rms (including six with an international network) have been licensed by the regulatory authorities, and a growing number of insurance companies and captives are now actively managed by these firms or are in the process of licencing. Malta has implemented the EU Consolidated Life Directive, the three Non-Life Insurance Directives and the Insurance Mediation Directive. The Reinsurance Directive will be implemented automatically on the 1 May 2007.
Maltese insurance undertakings and intermediaries are now able to 'passport' their services throughout the EU by providing 'services' in other member states or by establishing a branch operation in another member state. Similarly EU based insurance undertakings and intermediaries are allowed to provide their services or establish their offices in Malta by 'passporting' their home licence into Malta. In all cases the process of 'passporting' is by notification of your home regulator.
Maltese law allows for the formation of protected cell companies for insurance undertakings, insurance brokers and insurance management companies. The law allows companies to be incorporated as protected cell companies or to convert into such companies once they are already incorporated. This conversion process will provide an additional facility locally as it will allow insurance managers to establish and manage segregated cells for smaller captive ventures or start-ups wishing to begin their corporate life in a protected company.

How to Calculate Aircraft Payload
Aircraft are used for recreation, news and traffic reporting, fire fighting, construction, rescue operations, medical emergencies and military applications. Aircraft also are used to move people and cargo from place to place. Aircraft suffer a performance penalty for every pound of weight that they lift. Much of this weight to be lifted is an unavoidable part of making flight possible. These unavoidable weights include the airframe, the engines, a large quantity of fuel, and the aircraft crew. Any weight over and above these unavoidable weights can be used to transport customers and ship goods for customers. These extra weights represent the load on the aircraft that a customer is paying for, from which the term payload originated. The more payload that can be lifted and the farther it can be carried, the more the company operating the aircraft can charge customers. Only so much payload can be lifted, and the payload weight detracts from the operating range of the aircraft. Use these tips to learn how to calculate aircraft payload.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/55\/Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-1.jpg\/v4-460px-Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-1.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/55\/Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-1.jpg\/v4-760px-Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-1.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570}
Get the manufacturer's data for the aircraft. This data will list the following important parameters of the aircraft:
Check the standard weight empty of the aircraft. The standard weight empty will indicate the weight of the aircraft with no fuel, passengers or payload on board.
Find the maximum gross weight of the aircraft. The maximum gross weight is the upper limit of weight that the aircraft may be loaded to without structural damage.
Look up the maximum takeoff weight. The maximum takeoff weight is the most that the aircraft can weigh during take off.
Determine the maximum landing weight. The maximum landing weight is the most that the aircraft can weigh during landing without risking damage to the landing gear.
Note the fuel capacity of the aircraft. The fuel capacity will be listed in either U.S gallons or Imperial gallons.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cc\/Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cc\/Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-2.jpg\/v4-760px-Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570}
Calculate the weight of fuel carried. The fuel tanks may not be loaded to capacity, so use the weight of only the fuel known to be added. Calculate the weight as 6 lbs. per U.S. gallon (2.72 kg per 3.79 L) or 7.2 lbs per Imperial gallon (3.23 kg per 4.72L) if the fuel used is aviation gas. Calculate the weight as 6.6 lbs per U.S. gallon (3.0 kg per 3.79 L) or 8.0 lbs per Imperial gallon (3.6 kg per 4.72 L) if the fuel used is JP-4.
Determine the maximum payload. The maximum payload is the difference between the standard weight empty plus the weight of fuel carried, and either the maximum gross weight or the maximum takeoff weight, whichever is less. In almost every case, the maximum takeoff weight will be less and should be used for the calculation.
Divide the payload between people and cargo.
Count the aircraft crew as people. If known, the actual weight should be used. If the actual weights of the crew are not known, estimate the weights as 174 lbs. (79.0 kg) per male and 127 lbs. (57.6 kg) per female. Add 8 lbs. (3.6 kg) to each crew member weight for summer clothing and 14 lbs. (6.4 kg) per crew member for winter clothing.
Add the passenger weights. Count each male passenger as 174 lbs. (79.0 kg), each female passenger as 127 lbs. (57.6 kg), and each child as 75 lbs. (34.0 kg). Add 8 lbs. (3.6 kg) to each adult for summer clothing and 14 lbs. (6.4 kg) for each adult for winter clothing. Use 75 lbs. (34.0 kg) per child without adding an additional factor for clothing weight.
Subtract the crew and passenger weights from the payload. The resulting calculated weight is available for baggage and cargo. Do not consider the volume of the aircraft to carry luggage and cargo. The weight limits will be reached before the aircraft runs out of space to hold the cargo.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c8\/Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/c8\/Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-6.jpg\/v4-760px-Calculate-Aircraft-Payload-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570}
Take maximum landing weight into account. The maximum landing weight will be less than the maximum takeoff weight. The aircraft must have consumed enough fuel at the manufacturer's fuel consumption per thrust rate to reduce the total aircraft weight below the maximum landing weight before a landing can be made. If emergency conditions require an early landing, fuel or cargo (but not passengers) must be jettisoned to reduce the weight of the aircraft to the maximum landing weight.
Is it true that the air alone weighs one ton inside an empty Antonov 225?
According to wiki its volume is 1300 m^3, which at see level weights about 1650 kg -- so more than a ton. But you don't usually calculate air weight, since air outside of the aircraft has weight too, and thus gives buoyancy to aircraft which equals the before-mentioned weight. Of course, at higher latitude that weight-to-buoyancy ratio will change due to difference in pressure. Like at 40,000 feet the weight of the air inside due to the 10,000-foot level cabin pressure could be 800 kg, while buoyancy could only be something like 200 kg. But since the most critical stages are take off and landing we don't consider this weight difference.
How do I balance fuel in a 777 aircraft?
Fuel imbalance can be fixed by activating cross-feed valves located on the upper overhead panel, next to the fuel pumps. Just check for fuel leaks (in this case do not activate the valves unless you want to become a glider!) and wait for a couple of minutes. It should fix soon. Then you can disable the valves.

After spending the best part of two decades in IT, Bachelor of Social Science (Criminology) student Christine hopes her journey with online study will lead to a new career and has found some surprises along the way.
'Interestingly, as I've studied, what I thought I'd like the most has changed – I expected to love the psychology and find the sociology more motivationally hard work, but in fact it's been the opposite,' says Christine.
With the ongoing help and support from her family, Christine's been able to focus on her course, while maintaining a balance in other aspects of her life.
'I like the fact that I get to choose when to study, and can fit it around the rest of my life commitments. My family are great and both my husband and step-son take on extra housework in the lead up towards the end of term,' tells Christine.
For Christine, learning online means recognising her study patterns, but also understanding how she procrastinates. This has allowed her to develop a set of processes to ready herself for success.
Each teaching period starts with a planned approach where Christine uses a calendar to break each week down into 'chunks' of time and include all important work, outlining what's due and when.
'Having spent many years as a project manager, I've become super-disciplined. As a result motivating myself to get the work done isn't too much of a problem because I have very well -planned processes to make sure I can achieve everything on time,' explains Christine.
The continual support from people who are passionate about ensuring that students have the best online learning experience is critical in Christine's eyes.
'Don't underestimate the power of good eLAs who are inspiring, provide lots of feedback, but also prompt detailed discussions around the topic to really help instill the information,' says Christine.

Research Summary:
Paradigm shifts in biomedical fields often arise from interdisciplinary innovations in tools and measurement methods. Our research group is interested in applying interdisciplinary approaches to develop new tools and methods to solve current challenges in biomedical fields, such as disease diagnostics, medical therapeutics, as well as personalized medicine. Our current research focuses on the integration of micro- and nanotechnology with biology and medicine, and their biomedical applications.
Our research philosophy is "Interdisciplinary Integration and Innovation (I3)". On the one hand, we apply advanced biochemical approaches (e.g., CRISPR technology, synthetic biology) to investigate novel bioanalytical and clinical research strategies (e.g., Xiong Ding et al., Nature Communications, 2020, 11, 4711). On the other hand, we adapt our new biomedical research findings to microfluidic technology and develop next-generation medical devices/systems for disease diagnostics and therapeutics (e.g., Kun Yin et al., Theranostics, 2019, 9, 2637-2645).
We are a diverse team of scientists & engineers with broad expertise spanning molecular biology, CRISPR technology, synthetic biology, and chemistry to engineering (e.g., biomedical, mechanical, electronic). We have developed a number of innovative biomedical approaches and medical devices/systems for disease diagnostics and treatment (e.g., COVID-19, HIV virus, Zika virus, early cancer screening).
People are the engine and driving force of innovations in our research projects. We always seek highly talented and motivated individuals (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, and postdoc) from different disciplinary backgrounds (e.g., biology, chemistry, biomedicine, and engineering (e.g., biomedical, mechanical, electronic, material)). We welcome inquiries about positions with a cover letter and curriculum vitae by contacting Dr. Changchun Liu via email (chaliu@uchc.edu).

Royal Mail trials islands drone flights
The Royal Mail is to start trialling drone deliveries from the mainland to the Isles of Scilly.
The trial will see the company use Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flights to deliver Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Covid testing kits and other mail to the islands.
Royal Mail will also become the first to execute inter-island parcel deliveries across the Scillies, as part of the trial.
The Government-funded project will initially have a particular focus on helping to fight the pandemic by delivering crucial PPE and testing kits to the islands' most vulnerable and remote communities. But the Windracers drone is also able to accommodate mail of most shapes and sizes, enabling more general mail to be transported to the islands as part of the trial.
Parcels will be flown to the islands' airport in St Mary's by a UK-built twin-engine Windracers UAV, which can carry up to 100kg worth of mail at a time – equivalent to a typical delivery round. A smaller VTO drone, operated by Skyports, will then be used to transport items to a number of delivery points throughout the islands.
Amy Richards, local postwoman for the Isles of Scilly, said: "It's great to be involved in this initiative. There are some really remote areas on these islands, and this is a terrific way to help us reach them. It's really important for us to do all we can to help all areas of the country stay connected – especially in these difficult times."
Minister for Business Paul Scully said: "The UK is at the forefront of the aviation revolution, developing newer and more fuel-efficient technologies. Royal Mail's 'air bridge' to the Isles of Scilly will not only connect isolated and rural communities, but showcases the real-world potential drones have to truly transform our lives. Backed by Government funding, it is initiatives like these which will help us beat Covid-19 and build back better from the pandemic."

Deep Time / Deep Futures was a symposium on artistic responses to the dichotomy between human time-perception and time in biological, environmental, and geological processes, within which we are embedded. Deep time and deep future are two concepts referring to the history and future of our planet on a geological time scale.
From the 16th to 22nd of September 2013, a group of Finnish and international artists, scientist and practitioners met for "Field_Notes – Deep Time", an art&science field laboratory at Kilpisjärvi Biological Station in Lapland, organized by the Finnish Society of Bioart. Composed of work groups, think tanks, and workshops, they carried out interdisciplinary research and field work on specific topics concerning Deep Time and Deep Futures. In the symposium the five work groups presented and discussed their preliminary findings from the working week.

Unilever buys meat-free food company The Vegetarian Butcher
Unilever is buying the meat-substitute company The Vegetarian Butcher as it looks to cash in on the growing number of consumers turning their backs on meat.
Founded by the former cattle farmer Jaap Korteweg, the Dutch brand's quirky products – which include "nochicken" nuggets and "chickburgers", apparently with the same "taste and structure" as patties made out of chicken – have earned it a cult following among vegetarians and vegans.
In the UK, its products are sold largely through healthfood shops, and also in Waitrose.
Unilever's Nitin Paranjpe said it had been attracted to the brand's "clear mission" and strong position in a booming market for meat alternatives.
The deal comes as manufacturers, supermarkets and restaurants scramble to tap into the burgeoning vegan market, which has expanded as more people drop meat from their diet for health or ethical reasons. The UK has an estimated 22 million "flexitarians" – those who enjoy meat but want to reduce their consumption. Last month a plant-based burger that "bleeds", from the US brand Beyond Meat, made its debut in Tesco.
Unilever, which owns household brands from Magnum to Marmite, said the acquisition of The Vegetarian Butcher, for an undisclosed sum, fitted its strategy to move into healthier plant-based foods with a lower environmental impact. Unilever already sells 700 vegan and vegetarian products under existing brands such as Knorr, Hellmann's and Ben & Jerry's.
"The brand will fit in well within our portfolio of 'brands with purpose' which have a positive social impact [and] are better positioned to meet the needs of consumers," said Paranjpe. Last year Unilever, which also owns PG Tips and Liptons, bought Bristol-based ethical tea brand Pukka Herbs.
Korteweg's family had reared animals for nine generations but he converted to vegetarianism after witnessing Dutch herds being ravaged by swine fever and BSE. He started The Vegetarian Butcher in 2007 and has spent the past decade developing new products in keeping with what he sees as a "big transition from animal to vegetable meat".
"We want to conquer the world," said Korteweg. "It is our mission to make plant-based meat the standard. This acquisition will help to accelerate our mission."
Unilever has been working with The Vegetarian Butcher for the past two years but, with a presence in 190 countries, the acquisition will offer the potential to dramatically increase the brand's distribution beyond its current 4,000 outlets in 17 countries.

A Ceglédi járás Pest megyéhez tartozó járás Magyarországon 2013-tól, székhelye Cegléd. Területe 886,30 km², népessége 89 261 fő, népsűrűsége pedig 101 fő/km² volt 2013. elején. 2013. július 15-én három város (Cegléd, Abony és Albertirsa) és kilenc község tartozott hozzá.

A Ceglédi járás a járások 1983. évi megszüntetése előtt is létezett, ezen a néven az 1950-es járásrendezés után, amikor az Abonyi járás székhelyét Abonyból Ceglédre helyezték és nevét ennek megfelelően megváltoztatták.

Települései

Története
A Ceglédi járás elődje az Abonyi járás volt, melynek neve 1898-ig Kecskeméti alsó járás volt és a 19. század közepén az addigi Kecskeméti járás feldarabolásával jött létre.

Az 1950-es járásrendezés során 1950. június 1-jén az Abonyi járás székhelyét Abonyból a rég városi ranggal rendelkező, jobb közlekedési helyzetben lévő, a térség tényleges központjának szerepét betöltő Ceglédre helyezték át, és elnevezését is ehhez igazították. Egyidejűleg a Monori járástól ide csatolták azt a négy községet, melyek közelebb fekszenek Ceglédhez mint Monorhoz.

Ezt követően a járás községeinek listája 1983 végi megszűnéséig csak új községek alakítása miatt változott: Cegléd és Nagykőrös nagy kiterjedésű határának egyes részeiből alakult 1952-ben Csemő és 1954-ben Nyársapát. Részben Jászkarajenő területéből jött létre 1954-ben Tiszajenő község, melyet Szolnok megye Szolnoki járásához osztottak be, és ezzel a járás – és vele Pest megye – elveszítette utolsó tiszai partszakaszát.

1984. január 1-jével új közigazgatási beosztás jött létre Magyarországon. A járások megszűntek és a megyék város- és nagyközségkörnyékekre oszlottak. A Ceglédi járás községei közül kettőt a Nagykőrösi, a többit a Ceglédi városkörnyékhez osztották be.

Községei 1950 és 1983 között
Az alábbi táblázat felsorolja a Ceglédi járáshoz tartozott községeket, bemutatva, hogy mikor tartoztak ide, és hogy hova tartoztak megelőzően, illetve később.

A tanácsrendszer első éveiben, 1950 és 1954 között Cegléd és Nagykőrös jogállása közvetlenül a járási tanács alá rendelt város volt, vagyis a járáshoz tartoztak.

This inexpensive 9-1/2 inch one-sided wooden slide rule is painted white on the front face. A, D, and K scales are on the base, and B, CI, and C scales are on one side of the slide. A plastic indicator is in a metal frame. The top of the base is marked: MADE IN U.S.A. It is also marked LAWRENCE ENGINEERING SERVICE, PERU, INDIANA and PAT. PEND. The right end of the slide is marked: 10-B. Tables for equivalents and conversions appear on the back of the instrument, which is in a cardboard box covered with black synthetic leather.
George Lee Lawrence (1901–1976) established a firm in Chicago to make slide rules for photography. In 1935 he moved to Wabash, Ind., renamed the company Lawrence Engineering Service, and began to manufacture general purpose slide rules. In 1938 he relocated once more to Peru, Ind., probably to enlarge the factory. Lawrence's second wife, Vivian Breyer, received the company in their 1947 divorce. Its name was changed to Engineering Instruments, Inc., and the company remained in business until its building burned down in 1967. Thus, this rule dates between 1938 and 1947. The model 10-B sold for 25 cents during this period. There is no record that Lawrence ever received a patent for any aspect of his design or manufacturing process. According to the donor, this rule belonged to her father, George L. Sterns. Compare to 1980.0097.02.

Climable was created to address the gap in accessing reliable, concrete, and visible information through complex research analysis of environmental data for the interest of public and social good. Climable hopes to reduce the disparity between large energy corporations that focus on their bottom line and stakeholders who have an interest in policy decisions based on their commitment to the public good. Climable plans to create a positive impact by enabling the research to combat our generation's most pressing problem of climate change and transferring the knowledge into the hands of policymakers, invested stakeholders, and the general public through education and outreach.
Climable's vision is to make the information behind climate science and clean energy understandable, accessible, and actionable for everyone.
In 2016, we grew our capabilities, connections and staff. We employed four paid interns, up from one intern in past years, due in part to the generosity of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center's internship program. We became certified as a woman-run non-profit organization by the Commonwealth of MA Supplier Diversity Office. This status will open opportunities for us to work with state contractors interested in diversifying their teams. Finally, and perhaps most excitingly, we launched our very first podcast, Behind the Switch. This series is available on Soundcloud, iTunes, and Facebook at Behind the Switch. Our goal with the podcast is to extend our reach to a bigger audience, and share our energy and climate experience with folks in an easy to listen to way.
While we have this incredible work started through these efforts, we still need to focus on the following: 1) building capacity within our organization through adding a staff position focused on development; 2) establishing our web base and developing marketing strategies; 3) creating a robust presence in the environmental advocacy community; and 4) building connections with organizations and foundations that support our mission and work.
We are seeking financial support for the following: 1) programs; 2) research projects; and 3) operational costs. Our hope is that we can raise between $100,000 to $500,000 within the next twelve months. Additionally, we would need to build capacity such as hiring full-time staff as well as have strategic input from professionals in the field. While we have an active and supportive board, we hope to develop an active advisory committee who are experts in related fields to knit together a diverse and committed team to help us tackle important environmental and economic issues. We hope to gain a greater presence within the Greater Boston nonprofit community and environmental advocacy network. Lastly, we hope to have the opportunity to work globally on policy initiatives, education, and projects that answer pressing problems of our time.
Climable plans to serve the geographic areas that range from the Boston Metropolitan area, to Massachusetts, to New England, the U.S., and globally.

Currently, the steep, ongoing decline of Appalachian coal mining has caused the loss of thousands of jobs in eastern Kentucky. There is a need for a broader analysis that combines existing initiatives into a single vision of a working economy, mapping the sustainable occupations and industries that will fill the void left by coal. The program grew out of participation in a climate justice conference in eastern Kentucky in early 2014, co-hosted by Association for Community Economic Development (MACED) and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth (KFTC). While the heart of the work is primarily technical analysis and a report, its purpose and its value to the world depend on its connection with local groups. We plan to form an Advisory Committee and conduct background research to collect economic data on the region and relevant industries. Then, we will conduct an economic analysis to propose a new pattern of employment for eastern Kentucky.
Employment, General/Other
The principal mechanism for ensuring local connection will be the project's Advisory Committee. We will invite MACED and KFTC to suggest a number of interested residents of eastern Kentucky, from their own groups or others, to act as advisors to the project. Initially, we will focus on six areas identified by MACED as having potential job growth: tourism, wood products, environmental remediation, health care, energy conservation, and local food production. We will develop realistic scenarios for growth based on specified level of infusion of funding into the region.
The vision of this work is to create new pattern of employment after the declining coal industry. Through our work, we hope to explore the development strategies and investment incentives needed to attract private funding to the post-coal growth sectors of eastern Kentucky.
Currently, it appears that unemployment plus coal employment total around 46,000 in Appalachian Kentucky. Thus, 23,000 new jobs would be enough to eliminate half of prime-age unemployment and at the same time replace half of the remaining coal jobs. Another statistic that may be helpful is eastern Kentucky had just under 12,000 people employed in coal mining in 2012. On this basis, it seems reasonable to suggest an employment target in the range of 20,000 – 25,000 new jobs per year, and to analyze spending required to reach that target.
We will consult with the Advisory Committee in choosing the industries and scenarios to be analyzed; we will discuss preliminary results with them before publication of report; and we will seek their advice throughout the project in making our analysis relevant to their local conditions. The Project Director, Dr. Frank Ackerman, senior economist at Synapse, will travel to the eastern Kentucky to assist in the presentation of the results.
We also are using data from an earlier economic impacts analysis done for MACED by Synapse Energy Economics who did a study 2012 about the potential impacts of a Renewable and Energy Efficient Portfolio Standard (REPS) in Kentucky. That study estimated the statewide expenditures that would be required to meet the REPS, and combined those expenditures with a realistic ten-year projection of other features of the state and national economy. It was then possible, using the IMPLAN model, to calculate the employment, income, and other impacts of the REPS scenario, compared to a business-sas-usual scenario without REPS.
Our analysis of overall employment opportunities after goal will examine the effects of specified amounts of federal and state investment in the eastern Kentucky region, if targeted at key growth sections. This will help groups such as MACED and KFTC participate in the SOAR process, allowing them to advocate numbers and plans that support their goals, backed up by rigorous economic analysis.
We will explore development strategies and investment incentives needed to attract private funding to the post-coal growth sectors of eastern Kentucky. Some level of partial federal or state funding, combined with appropriate incentives and publicity, may be able to create a wave of private investment, reaching higher than the public can afford on its own.

Economics For Equity & Environment (E3) is a network that includes hundreds of applied economists across the globe with wide-ranging expertise related to climate, energy, natural resources, and the environment. E3 Network economists are dedicated to building a new applied economics of the environment that is committed to social equity and environmental sustainability at its core. E3 Network is currently in transition and is seeking an institutional home. EESI proposed to house this network and build out our work and mission to accommodate their existing programs.
Environment, General/Other
The short-term success would be providing a home to the E3 Network and establishing base funding to ensure E3 Network can continue its important work on social equity and environmental sustainability.
Success of this initiative would be the continuing work and growth of EESI with the addition of the E3 Network. This includes hiring a new staff member and establishing a successful fundraising campaign. More importantly, this proposal seeks to expand both EESI and E3 Network through a collaborative support for active engagement, public outreach, research, and economic practice for shaping public policy and opinion around environmental sustainability.
If EESI becomes the institutional home of the E3 Network, the first year we would conduct a phone survey sampling the E3 economics to gauge their satisfaction of this transition. We would focus our survey on the following 4 domains as measurements based on their current scope of work:
Active engagement — E3 Network facilitates collaboration between economists and the organizations and individuals who desire their expertise through the Green Economist Directory — an online guide to economists committed to working on real world environmental issues. E3 economists regularly consult and work with major environmental organizations, influential foundations, members of Congress, state and federal agencies, and the public.
Public outreach — Affecting change in the public discourse on the economics of the environment is central to E3 Network's mission. E3 economists publish op-eds in major newspapers, policy briefs, and expert commentaries that make the case for environmental protection accessible to a broad audience.
Research — E3 brings economists together from universities and institutions across the country to consult on economic research, produce timely policy-relevant reports, and publish in academic journals. Their reports and white papers have been cited widely by influential sources, including the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, The Washington Post, National Public Radio, Huffington Post, Scientific American and others.
Economic practice — E3 Network promotes their vision of a new and applied economics of the environment at professional meetings, through academic publications, and lectures. To support the next generation of economists in environmental protection, they offer workshops, internships, and fellowships for economics graduate students
The program success of E3 Network's transition to EESI will be shown by E3 Network's ability to continue to provide timely answers to policy relevant questions, to inform decision-making and public debate, and to shape economic practice. The satisfaction and testimonials of impact with the E3 economists based upon the initial phone survey conducted will provide us a good measure of the transition's success.
The Climable Consortium, a group of technical experts, works together to progress the Resilient Urban Neighborhood (RUN) concept. The concept believes that clean, reliable energy should be available to any neighborhood, especially those that are most vulnerable. Partnering with local grassroots organizations, the RUN team creates community-owned and led virtual hybrid, clean energy microgrids.
Public Safety, Disaster Services, General/Other Disaster Preparedness
Poor,Economically Disadvantaged,Indigent Elderly and/or Disabled Minorities
Climable is currently participating in two feasibility studies. One is in partnership with GreenRoots in Chelsea, MA. The other is with the Chinese Progressive Association in Boston's Chinatown. Proving technical and economic feasibility is a major first step for the team. Once feasibility is confirmed, the model can be rolled out to other neighborhoods that are interested in pursuing clean energy microgrids.
Stage two of the process is the design stage. This will involve identifying subscribers to the microgrid such as multi-family housing units, small businesses, and municipally-owned properties. It will also involve establishing legal entities to operate and maintain the microgrid once it is built.
Stage three of the process is build stage. This will involve signing contracts with engineering, procurement and construction entities that will allow for the solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and uninterruptible communications hardware to be purchased and installed.
Lower utility bills for subscribers (as compared to pre-microgrid expenditures)
Better air quality, determined by measuring particulates in the air and/or lower incidences of asthma
Reliable energy in a larger grid outage (in island mode, the microgrid is tested)
Reliable communications in a larger grid outage (charging of cell phones as well as the ability to contact loved ones outside of the effected area)
Interest from other jurisdictions interested in implementing similarly styled microgrids
The two neighborhood groups involved in feasibility studies are committed to bringing the clean energy grids to their communities. Long term success cannot be measured until all assets are installed and the microgrid is up and running.
"Technical Update of the 2013 Social Cost of Carbon for Regulatory Impact Analysis Under Executive Order No. 12866: Comment on the Office of Management and Budget's Technical Update of the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC)"
The estimate of the SCC used in federal regulatory analyses is an important and controversial calculation that has received too little public comment and outside review. In our comments, we argue that the result of the 2013 revision is a move in the right direction, but it is based on a flawed methodology that should be substantially revised. The choice of the three models used to calculate the SCC has never been justified, except by reference to frequency of citations to the models. Many other models are available. Our work promoted a pragmatic approach to carbon pricing, based on its expected effect on emissions. We proposed to the federal government that they continue their work on developing a more robust SCC, a process that would incorporate a broader range of expert knowledge and research, and in which regulatory authorities carry out their responsibility to justify the technical choices that affect public policy.
Throughout the month-long project, we provided our comments based upon years of research and analysis to the federal government. Our comments were then posted on the OMB website for all public stakeholders and interested citizens to view.
Based upon our findings through research and analysis of the federal government's methodology on social cost of carbon, we recommended an alternative approach to cost-benefit analysis. Instead, we recommended the expected market cost of reducing emissions (the marginal abatement cost). If the federal government adopts the marginal abatement cost methodology, the resulting SCC would better represent the economy-wide cost of mitigation, and would not suffer from the problems of incomplete estimation that plague environmental benefits assessment, in general, and SCC estimates.

Q: How to get Facebook data in my Android app I am developing one Android app in which there are two activities.
First activity: With button to go onto Facebook already login page. I want to know how to fetch data (like Name, DOB, Place, Email ID) from Facebook into my app.
Second activity (with EditText): How to match there API or what is required please let me know. I searched everywhere but did not find any answer.
I have done this, but it is showing errors.

Showing errors at new Session.StatusCallback()(under onClickFacebookLogin()) & getActiveSession() (at onActivityResult)

A: Here is the complete working code.Set up your developer account and call this method.Also dont forget to call onActivityResult() once the control return from facebook.
//Method invoked when facebook login button is clicked
public void onClickFacebookLogin() {

    // Session.openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {
    openActiveSession(this, true, new Session.StatusCallback() {

ROSEMEAD, Calif., March 11, 2014 — Edison International (NYSE:EIX) today announced that Edison Mission Energy's (EME) Plan of Reorganization was approved today by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The approved Plan incorporates the Settlement Agreement reached on February 18, 2014, between EME, Edison International, and certain of EME's creditors. This approval will allow the Settlement, as well as the planned sale of substantially all of EME's assets and stock of subsidiaries to NRG Energy, Inc., to be implemented.
Under the Plan of Reorganization and consistent with the Settlement Agreement, EME will emerge from bankruptcy free of liabilities and remain a subsidiary of Edison International. All assets and liabilities of EME that are not otherwise discharged in the bankruptcy or sold to NRG Energy, Inc. will be transferred to a newly-formed trust under the control of EME's creditors, other than certain income tax and pension related liabilities being assumed by Edison International under the Settlement Agreement. For more details on the Settlement Agreement, please see Edison International's February 18, 2014, Form 8-K. Closing of the Settlement transaction is expected in late March or early April.

Headquartered in Rosemead, Calif., Edison International is the parent company of Southern California Edison, one of the nation's largest electric utilities.


If you've read S.L. Scott's Kingwood duet, which is composed of Savage and Savior, then you should be more than familiar with Cruise Cristley, best friend to Alexander Kingwood IV. He stood by Alex's side through everything his closest friend went through as Alex and Sara Jane Grayson made their way to their much deserved and well-fought for happily ever after. Now, Cruise gets his chance at his own happy ending, one that he shares with Clara Eckerd, in Sacred, the second spin-off slash companion novel to the Kingwood duo, preceded by the recent release, Solace.
Cruise may have a great deal in his life--things that other people wish they could easily have as well--but there's something missing from it as well. He isn't just alone; he's lonely, and it's a loneliness that feels as if it's a gaping hole in his life. If he's being totally honest, he wants what his best friend has, but does he deserve it? Then Clara comes along, and she doesn't merely fill in the loneliness--she makes him want to believe in love and happy endings. And just when they both thought that that's where they were headed, their past decides to wreak havoc.
I know I mentioned in the beginning of my review that this book is a spin-off of the author's previously released duet, but that doesn't mean that you can't read Sacred without having read Savage and Savior. That's one of the great things about both Solace and Sacred; either one of these spin-off books can absolutely be read as standalones. However, allow me to highly recommend that your read the other books as well, and here are the two reasons why: they'll provide you with a more well-rounded reading experience AND they're all fantastic reads.
