Employers sometimes have a muddled view of what fiduciary responsibility means in their role as a retirement plan sponsor – they may underestimate their fiduciary duties, overlook critical fiduciary functions or mistakenly believe that someone else holds primary fiduciary responsibility. Familiarity with key fiduciary responsibilities and strategies can help you be more confident about fiduciary issues.
When it comes to retirement plans, a fiduciary is generally anyone with discretionary authority or control over a plan or the investments offered in the plan. A person's function with respect to the plan – and in some cases, his title within the company – determines who is a fiduciary. Certain positions are always considered fiduciaries, such as plan trustees. Plan sponsors are usually plan fiduciaries. In addition, the people who own or manage the company and make the decision to have a retirement plan are generally considered plan fiduciaries. A fiduciary assumes personal liability with respect to the employees who participant in the plan, and their heirs.
Hire a service provider such as a recordkeeper, third-party administrator or auditor.
Appoint other fiduciaries such as an investment manager, investment advisor or plan administrator.
The Investment Manager, also known as the 3(38) fiduciary, assumes full discretionary responsibility for selecting and monitoring plan investments. The named fiduciary is responsible for the selection of the investment manager, but once the investment manager is selected, the fiduciary responsibility for the actual investment decisions is then transferred to the Investment Manager.
A 3(21) Investment Advisor shares the fiduciary responsibility with you, the plan sponsor. You still have full legal responsibility of the plan and must monitor the performance of the 3(21) fiduciary.
Section 3(16 of ERISA discusses the responsibilities of the plan administrator. They have statutory responsibility for ensuring all filings with the federal government, such as form 5500 forms, are made in a timely manner and making important disclosures to plan participants. The plan administrator is not the same as a "pension administrator" or "Third Party Administrator".
The trustee is a person or group of persons recognized as having exclusive authority and discretion over the management and control of plan assets. An independent fiduciary has exclusive authority and control when they are appointed to the plan; the trustee reports to the independent fiduciary. There are two types of trustees, discretionary and directed. Directed trustees take orders from other fiduciaries whereas discretionary trustees are empowered to make decisions independently. The trustee is not to be confused with the "Custodian" of the plan.

This year´s European Conference on Rare Diseases and Orphan Products (ECRD 2018 Vienna) gathered over 800 participants from patient organizations, academics, health care professionals, industry, payers, regulators and policy makers to approach the topic of "Rare diseases 360°: Collaborative strategies to leave no one behind". Currently, it is estimated that in Europe a total number of 29 million people are affected by rare diseases.
Dr. Arndt Rolfs, CENTOGENE´s CEO and Founder, presented in a panel discussion at ECRD the company´s vision within the rare disease knowledge and information network. The discussion was part the theme "Global Rare Equity: Are we there yet?" and addressed the challenges in achieving global equity for rare diseases from policy and research to products and practical solutions. Dr. Rolfs underlined the importance of transferring the rare disease diagnostics burden from the physicians' shoulders in the laboratory environment. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, the laboratories need to support the process by implementing cheaper and robust proteomic based screening systems. Such a global proteomic concept will have a high importance in the early identification of rare diseases and is the key to shortening the diagnostic odyssey of the patients.
CENTOGENE, positioned uniquely at the intersection of genetic testing and multilayer proteomic/metabolomics strategies, relies on CentoMD®, the world´s largest mutation database of rare diseases. CentoMD® bridges the gap between genetic variants and clinical interpretation.
"At CENTOGENE, we have understood the importance of genetic and proteomic knowledge in transforming modern medicine and helping clinicians taking more informed medical decisions. We are dedicated to improve the lives of rare disease patients by supporting pharma companies in developing next-generation medicines. We achieve this by creating knowledge value products based on genetic, proteomic and metabolomic big data" said Dr. Rolfs.


65 percent of survey respondents saying they'll take on at least some of the work. Thirty-five percent of the group say they'll do the entire project on their own.
Also, budgets for renovations are increasing. Forty-five percent of homeowners who are planning a renovation project say they're willing to spend $5,000 or more—a record high for the survey. The number of respondents who plan to spend $35,000 or more doubled from 2017.


Long-term policy efforts to achieve greater accountability of all aid agencies, as well as integration of the voices of affected communities, is crucial to the evolution of a more just and sustainable aid regime. Aid to China has played a key role in China's transformation, while China's growing aid to South nations necessitates careful analysis concerning impacts and implications for development processes North and South. One area of China's focus is large-scale infrastructure projects, and this has raised concerns in and out of China.
Three Gorges Dam - Companies and banks from Canada, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, and Brazil have all played a role in financing the dam, though the primary funding was internal.
Building on its history of dam construction, China is now the largest dam builder in the world. With more than 25,800 large dams internally, more than any other country in the world , China plans to double domestic hydropower capacity to 250,000MW by 2020. At the same time, Chinese banks and construction firms have used this vast experience in China's global integration process, and are involved in building 195 dams in 45 countries. The Chinese state sees hydropower as a central pillar in its plans for reducing China's carbon imprint. And the World Bank has long advocated hydropower in its development approach. But the view of hydropower as a carbon-friendly, renewable energy solution is being reassessed in light of new findings on emergent long-term social, environmental, and climate change impacts.
In the global conversation on ways to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, Action 2030 emphasizes that large-scale proposals include a detailed consideration of possible and probable long-term impacts to ensure a functional, sustainable future for everyone. As the fuel that makes these large-scale projects possible, international aid flows are worth everyone's attention. Aid comes in many shapes and sizes and includes grants, technical assistance, loans, credit guarantees and insurance. It involves large and influential institutions from multilateral development banks, such as the World Bank, to import export agencies of many governments, to state development banks, to multi and bilateral aid agencies that primarily provide grants and technical assistance.

Q: How to format a string that contains a big raw XML to a formated XML object or string/stream? How can i format a raw XML string to the original XML format?
The string that contains XML looks like this:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:v2="http://webservice">       <soapenv:Header><wsse:Security xmlns:wsse="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd"><wsse:UsernameToken wsu:Id="UsernameToken-28FC7B32CCC1BB2B21141113657641136"><wsse:Username>username</wsse:Username><wsse:Password Type="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordDigest">password=</wsse:Password><wsse:Nonce EncodingType="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-soap-message-security-1.0#Base64Binary">gt/swtwet/ww==</wsse:Nonce><wsu:Created>2014-09-19T14:22:56.411Z</wsu:Created></wsse:UsernameToken></wsse:Security></soapenv:Header>       <soapenv:Body>          <v2:getThis1>             <v2:getThis12>                <v3:getThis13>                   <v3:getThis10>                      <v31:Id>31045243</v31:Id>                      <v31:getThis1222>545345</v31:getThis1222>                   </v3:getThis10>                   <v3:Number>1234124</v3:Number>                </v3:getThis14323>             </v2:getThis1343>          </v2:getThis112>       </soapenv:Body>    </soapenv:Envelope>

How can i transform this back to XML format?

A: I assume that problem you want to solve is how to compare to XML objects based their string representation. If that's the case then just use XMLUnit and that will compare the xml string and report the differences without having to worry about formatting, putting stuff in hashmaps etc.

Амбергріс-Кей (ісп. Cayo Ambergris) — найбільший острів Белізу, розташований на північний схід від матерової частини країни, в Карибському морі. Це приблизно 40 кілометрів протяжністю з півночі на південь і близько 1,6 з заходу на схід. Хоча є частиною округу Беліз, найближча точка на материку належить до округу Коросаль.

У доколумбові часи на острові жила цивілізація мая і виготовляла відмітну поліровану червону кераміку.

Найбільше і єдине місто на острові — Сан-Педро. Є також ряд невеликих сіл і курортів. Два курорти на північ від Сан-Педро приймали перший сезон серіалуTemptation Island у 2000 році, який вийшов у ефір у 2001 році.

A major tourist destination, Porto is the second largest city in Portugal, after Lisbon. Dating back to the 4th century, Porto is one of Europe's oldest cities. With a history stretching back to the Roman Empire, the Old Town district of Ribeira is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Characterised by its architectural landmarks, which include medieval relics, baroque churches and grand bell towers, these days Porto is known for its lively street markets, traditional pastries and excellent wines. It is, after all, the birthplace of port.
Set on the Atlantic Ocean, the Port of Leixoes is the maritime gateway to Porto. It has 2 terminals; the North Dock and the South Terminal. The port was originally constructed in 1890 and was expanded in the 1930s and again in the 1970s. Welcoming an average of 45,000 cruise passengers every year, the port is also used to export port wine around the world.

Port Location
Cruise ships visiting Porto will dock at Leixoes Port, which is located in the Matosinhos district several kilometres north of the River Douro. The town centre of Leixoes is within walking distance of the port, while the city centre of Porto is about 10 kilometres away.
Shaped like the hull of a ship, the Leixoes Passenger Terminal is a fine example of 1960s architecture, and it is considered part of the architectural and historical heritage of the Matosinhos district. In 2011, the port received an upgrade and can now host some of the largest cruise ships in the world.
Facilities include:
financial services including a bank, ATMs and money exchange
The port is located within walking distance of a taxi rank, public transport, hop on/hop off tourist bus, shopping and restaurants.
From Leixoes Port it is easy to reach the local town in the heart of the Matosinhos district on foot. To get into central Porto, located 10 kilometres away, several different modes of transport are available.
The metro offers fast and inexpensive transport, and there is a direct line connecting Leixoes to central Porto. One-way fares cost around €2 (A$3) per person and the journey takes about 25 minutes.
Public buses also operate between Leixoes and Porto, with fares slightly cheaper than the metro but a longer travel time of 30 to 40 minutes.
Taxis queue directly in front of the port and fares to Porto average €15 to €20 (A$22 to A$29).
Francisco Sa Carneiro Airport (Porto Airport) is 11 kilometres north of the city centre. The metro and public bus systems both operate routes to the airport, with the metro being quicker at around 20 minutes' travel time. A one-way taxi fare will cost €25 to €30 (A$36 to A$43).
Currency - the currency in Porto is the euro. Coins come in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent and €1 and €2 denominations. Notes come in €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 and €500 denominations.
Time Zone - Porto uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), which is the same as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). During the summer months it uses Western European Summer Time (WEST), which is 1 hour ahead of UTC.
Weather - Porto enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate. Temperatures range from an average 24° Celsius in July and August to 14° Celsius in January and February. The driest months are July and August, with an average rainfall of 20 millimetres.
Porto Cathedral - featuring grand Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque-style architecture, Porto Cathedral dates back to 1737. Located in the historical centre of the city, this impressive church is flanked by imposing square towers.
Clerics Tower - an architectural and visual icon of the city, Porto's Clerics Tower (Torre dos Clerigos) stands 249 feet high. Dating back to 1732, it features 225 stone steps that visitors can climb; at the top you'll find magnificent views over Porto, the Douro River and the Atlantic Ocean.

CoronaVac — вакцина проти COVID-19, що виробляється китайською компанією «Sinovac Biotech». «CoronaVac» створено за традиційною технологією розробки інактивованих вірусних вакцин, подібно до BBIBP-CorV та BBV152, інших інактивованих вірусних вакцини проти COVID-19.

Починаючи з середини 2020 року, «CoronaVac» розпочала проходити клінічне дослідження III фази, у кінці 2020 року тривало клінічне дослідження вакцини в Бразилії, Чилі, Індонезії та Туреччині.

Клінічні дослідження

Фаза I—II
У клінічному дослідженні II фази, завершеному в липні 2020 року та опублікованому в журналі «The Lancet», CoronaVac забезпечив сероконверсію нейтралізуючих антитіл у 109 (92 %) з 118 учасників у групі з введенням дози 3 мкг вакцини, 117 (98 %) із 119 у групі з введенням дози 6 мкг у порівнянні графіків днів 0 і 14; тоді як на 28 день у порівнянні графіків днів 0 та 28 сероконверсію спостерігали у 114 (97 %) із 117 у групі з введенням дози 3 мкг та 118 (100 %) із 118 у групі з введенням дози 6 мкг.

У травні розпочались клінічні дослідження «CoronaVac» I—II фази в Китаї на дорослих старше 60 років, а у вересні розпочались клінічні дослідження «CoronaVac» I—II фази в Китаї на дітях у віці 3–17 років.

За даними Дімаса Коваса, директора Інституту Бутантан, який проводив дослідження III фази в Бразилії, «CoronaVac» не слід заморожувати. «CoronaVac» та сировину для створення нових доз можна транспортувати та охолоджувати при температурі 2–8 °C, такій же температурі, при якій зберігаються вакцини проти грипу. «Coronavac» може залишатися стабільним при зберіганні протягом трьох років, що може забезпечити певну перевагу при розподілі вакцин у регіонах, де не розвинута технологія холодового ланцюга.

Фаза III

Латинська Америка
Наприкінці липня 2020 року компанія «Sinovac Biotech» розпочала проведення III фази клінічного дослідження вакцини для оцінки її ефективності та безпеки на 9 тисячах добровольцях-медиках у шести штатах Бразилії у співпраці з Інститутом Бутантан. 19 жовтня губернатор штату Сан-Паулу Жоао Дорія заявив, що перші результати клінічного дослідження, проведеного в Бразилії, довели, що серед вакцин, що тестуються в країні, «CoronaVac» є найбезпечнішим, найкращим, та має найбільш перспективні показники імунізації. 23 жовтня уряд Сан-Паулу оголосив про створення 6 нових центрів для тестування «CoronaVac» на добровольцях. Унаслідок цього загальна кількість центрів, де проводяться клінічні дослідження вакцини в країні, зросла до 22.

10 листопада Бразилія ненадовго призупинила проведення III фази досліджень після самогубства добровольця, та відновила його 11 листопада. 13 грудня директор Інституту Бутантан Дімас Ковас повідомив, що кількість підтверджених випадків коронавірусної хвороби протягом III фази клінічних досліджень зросла до 170, що було вище 151 випадків, необхідних для первинного аналізу, і що до 23 грудня будуть оголошені результати дослідження. Інститут Бутантан повідомив, що вакцина в Бразилії виявила ефект від 50 % до 90 %, але на прохання «Sinovac Biotech» інститут вирішив не надавати повних результатів дослідження, що викликало питання щодо прозорості дослідження, адже це була вже третя затримка з оприлюдненням результатів цього дослідження.

Директор Інституту Бутантан Дімас Ковас заявив, що у жодного добровольця, щепленого в активній групі, не розвинувся тяжкий випадок коронавірусної хвороби, що надає оптимізму щодо його ефективності у боротьбі з пандемією хвороби. Крістіна Боноріно, імунолог, яка є членом наукового комітету Бразильського імунологічного товариства, сказала, що відсутність важких випадків є позитивним явищем і корисною для боротьби з пандемією, але це «шкодить іміджу вакцини». За її словами, більша проблема полягає в тому, що «вони [дослідники] не повинні були показувати щось, про що зрештою вони не повідомили».

Також на початку серпня в Чилі було розпочато клінічне дослідження III фази, яке проводив Папський католицький університет Чилі, до якого, за очікуваннями, мали залучити 3 тисячі добровольців у віці від 18 до 65 років.

Європа та Азія

14 вересня у Туреччині розпочалась III фаза клінічного дослідження вакцини із дводозовим 14-денним інтервалом за участю 13 тисяч добровольців. Процес спостереження ефективності «CoronaVac» тривав у 25 центрах 12 міст країни. 24 грудня на підставі спостереження за 7371 добровольцями організаторами дослідження повідомлено, що ефективність вакцини на час завершення дослідження становить 91,25 %. Ці результати отримані на основі проміжного аналізу 26 з 29 осіб, які отримували плацебо та захворіли на COVID-19 під час дослідження, причому дослідження тривало до того часу, поки не захворіло 40 осіб. Міністр охорони здоров'я Туреччини Фахреттін Коджа заявив, що ці результати були першими результатами клінічних досліджень, які офіційно оголошені для вакцини «CoronaVac».

У серпні 2020 року компанія «Sinovac Biotech» оголосив про початок клінічного дослідження вакцини в Бангладеш за участю 4200 добровольців, які зупинилися після того, як «Sinovac» звернувся до уряду країни з проханням про його співфінансування. Міністр охорони здоров'я Бангладеш заявив, що країна отримає доступ до «CoronaVac», навіть якщо клінічне дослідження не буде завершене.

У серпні компанія «Sinovac» розпочала III фазу клінічного дослідження в Індонезії разом із компанією «Bio Farma» у Бандунгу, в якому взяли участь 1620 добровольців. У листопаді медична школа Університету Паджаджарана представила оновлене повідомлення про те, що дослідження перебігали без ускладнень, і що під час них найважчим ускладненням було незначне підвищення температури тіла, яке зникло протягом двох днів. 21 листопада компанія «Bio Farma» повідомила про плани подати проміжні результати III фази клінічних досліджень вакцини «CoronaVac» до Індонезійського агентства з контролю за харчовими продуктами та ліками в січні 2021 року.

У жовтні Саудівська Аравія підписала угоду з «Sinovac» про закупівлю «CoronaVac» для 7 тисяч медичних працівників після проведення III фази клінічних досліджень серед військовослужбовців Національної гвардії Саудівської Аравії.

Подальші дослідження ефективності
У квітні 2021 року повідомлялося, що одне щеплення вакцини «CoronaVac» на 50 % ефективне проти симптоматичного перебігу COVID-19 у медичних працівників міста Манаус у Бразилії. При цьому 75 % захворювань у місті були спричинені гамма-варіантом вірусу SARS-CoV-2, а у дослідженні брали участь  медробітників.

Того ж місяця було опубліковане чилійське дослідження, яке показало, що вакцина «CoronaVac» на 67 % ефективна проти симптоматичного перебігу COVID-19, на 80 % ефективна проти смерті від COVID-19 та на 85 % ефективна проти шпиталізації під час хвороби. Це дослідження базувалося на даних по 10,5 млн осіб.

Виробництво
Для виробництва вакцини «CoronaVac» побудовано виробничий цех площею 20 тисяч квадратних метрів у Пекіні, на яких планується з часом виробляти 300 мільйонів доз вакцини на рік. У грудні компанія «Sinovac Biotech» заявила, що має на меті завершити будівництво другого виробничого цеху до кінця 2020 року, щоб збільшити виробничі потужності для виробництва «CoronaVac» до 600 мільйонів доз.

Індонезійська компанія «Bio Farma» повідомила, що у випадку успішного завершення III фази клінічних досліджень вакцини в Індонезії компанія планує збільшити виробництво вакцини в країні до 250 мільйонів доз на рік.

9 листопада у бразильському місті Сан-Паулу розпочалось будівництво цеху для виробництва 100 мільйонів доз вакцини на рік. 10 грудня губернатор штату Сан-Паулу Жоао Дорія заявив, що Інститут Бутантан має за мету випускати 1 мільйон доз вакцини на день на своїй виробничій лінії для кампанії вакцинації проти COVID-19, що має розпочатися 25 січня. Дорія заявив, що 11 бразильських штатів контактували з Інститутом Бутантан у пошуку вакцини «CoronaVac» для населення своїх штатів. Кілька країн, зокрема Гондурас, Парагвай, Перу та Уругвай, також виявили зацікавленість у придбанні вакцини «CoronaVac» у Бразилії, одночасно Інститут Бутантан вів переговори з Аргентиною щодо постачання вакцини.

У січні повідомлено, що компанія «Лекхім» буде виробляти цю вакцину в Харкові з 2022 року.

Продаж та маркетинг

Бразилія
23 вересня губернатор штату Сан-Паулу Жуан Дорія заявив, що штат Сан-Паулу уклав угоду з компанією «Sinovac Biotech» на постачання 60 мільйонів доз, які мають бути доставлені до кінця лютого, за словами губернатора, цієї кількості вакцини достатньо для вакцинації всього населення штату. Дорія підписав контракт із «Sinovac» на 90 мільйонів доларів для закупівлі початкових 46 мільйонів доз потенційної вакцини та заявив, що штат має усну угоду щодо постачання решти 14 мільйонів доз. 21 жовтня президент Бразилії Жаїр Болсонару заявив, що його уряд не купуватиме «CoronaVac» через його китайське походження, що суперечить словам міністр охорони здоров'я Едуардо Пазуелло, який напередодні сказав, що «CoronaVac» буде додана до програми імунізації. 23 жовтня основний регуляторний орган Бразилії ANVISA дозволив Інституту Бутантан імпортувати 6 мільйонів доз «CoronaVac». Жоао Дорія заявив, що представник агентства сказав йому, що не буде піддаватися політичному тиску у зв'язку зі схваленням потенційних вакцин проти COVID-19. 16 грудня губернатор штату Піауї Веллінгтон Діас заявив, що міністр охорони здоров'я Едуардо Пазуелло повідомив його, що федеральний уряд придбає 46 мільйонів доз CoronaVac.

Повідомлено, що вартість «CoronaVac» складе 10,3 доларів США (близько 59 бразильських реалів). 19 листопада делегація політиків та науковців отримала перші 120 тисяч доз «CoronaVac» в міжнародному аеропорту Сан-Паулу, ще 46 мільйонів доз повинні прибути до січня 2021 року. На кінець грудня Бразилія отримала 10 мільйонів доз CoronaVac, хоча існувала невизначеність щодо регуляторного статусу вакцини.

Болівія
У січні у Болівії дозволено використання «CoronaVac» та російської вакцини «Спутник V». Країна вже закупила 5,2 мільйона доз «Sputnik V» і близько 2 мільйонів доз AZD1222, вакцини спільного виробництва «AstraZeneca» та Оксфордського університету. Інститут Бутантан, який брав участь у розробці «CoronaVac», розпочав переговори з південноамериканськими країнами щодо продажу вакцини, яка буде вироблятися в Сан-Паулу. Дозвіл на закупку цієї вакцини мають надати уряди країн-замовників.

Чилі
У жовтні міністр охорони здоров'я Чилі Енріке Паріс підписав угоду з «Sinovac Biotech» про закупівлю 20 мільйонів доз «CoronaVac». Використання вакцини вимагало схвалення кваліфікованої установи, наприклад, Інституту громадського здоров'я Чилі чи ANVISA в Бразилії. Чилійський уряд висловив сподівання, що ANVISA незабаром схвалить «CoronaVac», щоб її можна було застосовувати в Чилі.

Китай
Наприкінці серпня «CoronaVac» схвалена у рамах невідкладної реєстрації для застосування в Китаї в рамках програми для вакцинації груп високого ризику, зокрема медичних працівників. У жовтні в місті Цзясін у провінції Чжецзян розпочався продаж «CoronaVac» працівникам життєво необхідних галузей економіки та особам із груп ризику за 200 юанів (29,75 доларів США) за дозу, застосування вакцини буде проводитись у режимі прийому двох доз.

Гонконг
У грудні Гонконг замовив 7,5 мільйона доз вакцини CoronaVac для профілактики COVID-19. Перша партія з 1 мільйона доз CoronaVac має надійти в січні 2021 року.

Індонезія
Міністр закордонних справ Індонезії Ретно Марсуді заявив, що з листопада 2020 року по березень 2021 року було підписано угоду з «Sinovac Biotech» на постачання 50 мільйонів доз вакцини з листопада 2020 року до березня 2021 року, яка згодом була оновлена до 140 мільйонів доз. Вакцина «CoronaVac» на момент завезення до країни в країну мала коштувати близько 200 тисяч рупій (13,57 доларів США) за дозу. 6 грудня Індонезія отримала 1,2 мільйона доз «CoronaVac» і очікувала, що отримає матеріалів для виробництва ще 15 мільйонів доз у грудні та 30 мільйонів доз у січні 2021 року. До 31 грудня 2020 року Індонезія отримала 3 мільйони доз і планувала розпочати вакцинацію 1,3 мільйона медичних працівників на другий і третій тиждень січня 2021 року.

Філіппіни
У листопаді 2020 року філіппінський посадовець, відповідальний за закупівлю вакцин, Карліто Гальвес оголосив, що Філіппіни планують придбати до 50 мільйонів доз «CoronaVac».

Сінгапур
Сінгапур підписав попередні угоди про закупівлю CoronaVac разом із мРНК-вакцинами Pfizer–BioNTech (Comirnaty) та Moderna (MRNA-1273).

Таїланд
У січні 2021 року міністерство охорони здоров'я Таїланду повідомило, що, якщо вакцина пройде всі необхідні клінічні дослідження, країна отримає 2 мільйони доз «CoronaVac», яка надійде трьома партіями по 200 тисяч доз у лютому, 800 тисяч у березні та ще 1 мільйон доз у квітні 2021 року.

Туреччина
У листопаді 2020 року міністр охорони здоров'я Туреччини Фахреттін Коджа повідомив, що країна підписала контракт на покупку 50 мільйонів доз «CoronaVac» з постачанням вакцини в грудні 2020 року, та січні й лютому 2021 року. Перші 3 мільйони доз «CoronaVac» прибули в аеропорт Анкари Есенбога в 17 контейнерах 30 грудня 2020 року. 14 січня 2021 року президент Тайїп Ердоган прилюдно був вакцинований CoronaVac.

Україна
У грудні 2020 року Україна підписала контракт на закупівлю 1,8 млн доз «CoronaVac», яка, за словами прем'єр-міністра країни Дениса Шмигаля, може надійти в лютому 2021 року. Одна доза «CoronaVac» за прогнозами має коштувати 504 грн.

10 березня 2021 року використання вакцини було дозволено МОЗ України, 25 березня першу партію вакцини з 200 тис. доз було доставлено в Україну.

Суперечливі події

Прозорість
У грудні 2020 року Національне агентство нагляду за охороною здоров'я Бразилії (ANVISA) заявило, що дозвіл на екстрене використання ще не є повністю оформленим у Китаї. Агентство заявило, що немає інформації щодо критеріїв, які використовували китайські органи влади під час отримання вакциною «CoronaVac» дозволу на екстрене використання в Китаї в червні 2020 року.

23 грудня 2020 року дослідники з Інституту Бутантан, у якому проводились клінічні дослідження вакцини в Бразилії, заявили, що вакцина була більш ніж на 50 % ефективною, але затримали повні результати на прохання компанії «Sinovac Biotech», знову піднявши питання про прозорість, оскільки це була третя затримка у виведенні результатів випробувань. Хоча пізніше розкриття інформації про перебіг дослідження дало чітке уявлення про ефективність вакцини, відсутність своєчасних та чітких відомостей сприяло відсутності довіри до результатів.

Відсутність інформації
Коли представники штату Сан-Паулу оголосили рівень ефективності вакцини, вони відмовились надавати більш детальну інформацію про клінічне дослідження, зокрема інформацію про віковий склад учасників та побічні ефекти вакцини. Посадовці також не вказали, коли буде опублікований повний звіт про результати досліджень. У ході дослідження було зафіксовано 160 учасників, інфікованих коронавірусом у групі плацебо, та майже 60 учасників серед тих, хто отримав вакцину. Інститут Бутантан відмовився пояснити, як розраховувався коефіцієнт ефективності.

Louis van Gaal confirms Manchester United's Radamel Falcao and David de Gea are both injured
Louis van Gaal has revealed that Radamel Falcao and David de Gea both missed Manchester United's game against Hull City on Sunday due to injury.
De Gea picked up a hamstring complaint against Arsenal last weekend which eventually forced him off.
Meanwhile, Falcao sustained an injury in Man United's final training session before the Hull clash.
Van Gaal stated that the 29-year-old should make a swift recovery as his injury is "not a big problem."
LVG said both Falcao and De Gea are injured. On Falcao "it was in the last training session. It is not a big problem."
— Simon Stone (@sistoney67) May 24, 2015
Both players will have been disappointed to miss United's final fixture of the campaign as it looks increasingly likely that they will leave the club in the summer.
Numerous reports on Sunday afternoon suggested Falcao has been told he has no future at United, while De Gea continues to be strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid.
The hope for supporters is that their situations are cleared up quickly so United can move on ahead of an assault on the Premier League title next season.

While you don't have to ask us to leave a bequest, we can help with the process. We are also happy to meet or call you for a confidential, no-obligation chat about how your bequest can make a difference. We can discuss how your donation will allow us to continue our work through your generosity.
Making a Will can help your family deal with a difficult time so we think everyone should make a Will. Speak to your lawyer, the Public Trust or another trust company about making a Will or changing your existing Will to include a bequest to RNZRSA as a charity you want to support.
While you do not have to consult anyone about how you want to arrange your affairs, speaking to your family and friends about your decisions might help them give effect to your charitable goals when the time comes.
It is up to you whether you tell us. It is a very private matter, but it is very helpful for us to have this information as we would like to thank you in this lifetime and talk with you about how we would see your money being used.
Why should I leave a charitable gift to the RNZRSA?
We change lives every day and can only do this through our benefactor's generosity. We have limited funding, and the more donations we receive the more we can help veterans, current serving personnel and their families.
See your lawyer, the Public Trust, a trustee company, your local Community Law Centre or Citizen's Advice Bureau who can advise you how to do this.
A residual gift – once you have sorted out your family and friends, you can leave the residual of the estate to the RNZRSA.
A percentage –you may choose to gift all or a percentage of your estate to the RNZRSA. This way if the value of your assets increases or decreases in time, so does your gift.
A specific gift – you decide a specific gift, this could be a set amount of money, shares, real estate or such other assets as you choose.
To give [set out the amount/nature of the gift] free from all charges and duties to the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Association Inc, incorporated society number 215442 howsoever called now or in the future (hereafter called "RNZRSA") or its successor to use for the welfare of those who serve or have served in New Zealand's armed forces, whether as part of the Defence Force or earlier, and/or their families or any of them in need.
A receipt from the Chief Executive or such other duly authorised officer of RNZRSA shall be full and sufficient discharge to my trustees for all property given under this gift and my trustees shall not be bound to see to the application of the gift.
However, this wording might not be suitable in all circumstances and you should get advice from a lawyer, the Public Trust, a trustee company, your local Community Law Centre or Citizen's Advice Bureau before creating or making changes to your Will to include such a bequest.
RNZRSA's Charity Services registration number is CC20275.
Don't have a lawyer or a will?
The Law Society (0800 22 30 30 - inquiries@lawsociety.org.nz) has a list of lawyers in your area who will be able to help.
Alternatively you can contact your local Citizen's Advice Bureau, Community Law Centre, the Public Trust (0800 371 471 - email info@publictrust.co.nz), Guardian Trust (0800 683 909 – info@guardiantrust.co.nz) or some other trust company.
Do you need to tell RNZRSA about your bequest?
That's your decision. However, should you decide to discuss your gift, rest assured we will treat this with the strictest of confidence. We would like the opportunity to recognise your generosity, to thank you, and discuss how we would see your gift being used in the future.
Can I direct how I want my bequest to be spent?
Yes, it is entirely up to you.
The only restriction is that it must be something we can actually do. The fluid nature of our organisation means that requests can be very random and unplanned.
Sometimes we won't know the level of support needed until we hear from the veteran, or the family member.
By not directing how your gift is spent, it allows us the ability to be able to manage and direct your money appropriately. Rest assured, your money is used wisely.

St Patrick's Athletic continued their excellent form in the Airtricity League Premier League tonight when they comfortably beat Cork City 2-0 at Turners Cross.
Strikes from Anto Flood in the first half and John Russell early in the second mean the Saints are unbeaten in five games. City, though, slump to their fourth defeat in the league.
The Dubliners demonstrated why they are doing so well this season with a sharp performance where they created plenty of chances, played good football and scored two excellent goals.
Almost all the best performers were in red shirts, most notably Killian Brennan, Russell and Flood.
Most disappointing for City manager Tommy Dunne was the limp nature of his side's response to the second goal.
The best Cork City chances came as a result of mistakes from the away side rather than good play from the home team.
St Pat's hit their stride quickest and struck the post through Bolger's excellent shot from outside the box that cannoned off a post after 14 minutes.
The first goal came eight minutes later from a quick throw-in by Pat's left-back to Chris Forrester who put in a superlative cross which Flood guided home with his head.
Using the pace of the cross, he steered it past 'keeper Mark McNulty into the far corner.
After 32 minutes, Cork City got their best chance of the half to equalise when Forrester's slack pass set Daryl Kavanagh through one on one against Pat's goalkeeper Brendan Clarke.
The Cork forward tried to lob Clarke but he managed to stay upright and clawed the ball away for a corner.
The only other chance of note fell to St Pat's centre-back Kenny Browne who stabbed a ball wide after a corner fell to his feet.
Cork City arrived out late for the start of the second half and rapidly found themselves two down.
Midfielder Russell picked the ball up on the left of the box on 48 minutes, played a one-two with Flood, took the superb return and steered the ball into the bottom right hand corner.
The home side were largely impotent and their only chance of note fell to Kavanagh in the box after 69 minutes but Clarke came out very quickly and knocked the ball wide.
The only late drama came at the other end when Christy Fagan was awarded a soft penalty after he was tackled in the box.
He took the penalty and struck it low to his left but McNulty dove well to save.
The home side's worst performance at home meant they looked more likely to concede a third rather than score a consolation goal.

Is Billie Eilish Here To Stay? Or just passing through
kenadijiba
TheBlast January 10, 2020
Viral sensation who's had more success in her 18 years of life than most 60-year-olds, has dominated the music industry. Her hits like "Bad Guy" and " Ocean Eyes" have invaded our music airways all over the country and it seems like she could be here to stay. But, other signs point to her career slowly declining due to the history of popular artists falling to the waist side after growing so quickly. There are ways she can solidify her spot in music history. Let's see what path she takes.
The Results Are In: Billie Eilish Tops Album Sales Lists In 2019

Billie Eilish: How Is The Grammy-Nominated Artist Celebrating Her Birthday This December?
Lady Gaga Fans Are Attacking Billie Eilish On Social Media
Billie Eilish Disses Trump in Another Honest Interview
Billie Eilish isn't your basic 18 year old hanging out in her college dorm, and turning up at 3 am. Ironically she isnt your quintessential pop star either. Or is she? Weird and angsty seems to be in fashion. Some pioneers of this sad revolution are OG artists like Lana Del Rey, FKA Twigs, Lorde, and The Weeknd. To be utterly honest what Billie is bringing this generation isn't original by a long shot. In fact it's a bit overdone. In many ways Billie just seems like a repackaged version of all those artists melded together into this generations "I'm not like other girls" symbol. Her breaking into the mainstream is what will be the demise of her career. If she doesn't switch up in a more authentic manner she might just fade into white noise like many before her.
Since she is so young and still could be searching for herself through the medium of music and song writing she could stand a chance in this industry. It's a lot easier to create a hit that takes over for a few months. It is another thing to be consistent and reinvent yourself time and again. To be a Rihanna or Beyonce is almost impossible in terms of maintaining such power for so long. Most singers just lose their way with the same fan base that used to worship them. Ultimately nothing is promised in the entertainment industry. What may seem set in stone today could be gone tomorrow.
Is Billie Eilish's career going to fall off next week? Absolutely not. But a lot of things don't progress like that. In reality slowly but surely opinions can change and our taste collectively can morph into the search for the next big thing. For her sophomore album Billie should do the unexpected in a contained way. Doing this alone will keep her fans satisfied without freaking out everyone else who happens to be listening to her music. With her being nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy award this year in itself could be a sign of where her career leads. The legend when it comes to the Grammys is that winning the best new artist award could be poison for a singers trajectory in the business. So if Billie takes that L it could actually be a W. Some losses at the end of the day are wins in disguise. At the end of the day, Billie and her decisions alone will be what determines whether she makes it or not.

Named one of Publisher's Weekly's five best romance novels of 2012!
Café owner Jessica Sheldon's fear of canines hardly makes her a dog person. After the incident in her café the year before in which a dog almost destroyed her café, she's been labeled the "dog hater" of Madrona, a town that's famous for its annual dog festival, Woofinstock. Her life takes a turn at the start of Woofinstock when she rescues Zoë, a white German shepherd who can't find her way home. When both Jessica and Zoë are struck by lightning in the town square, the unbelievable happens—the two switch bodies.


One day each year, the music that fills City Winery comes from stage and audience alike. It's called Guitar Mash, and the annual event brings to the venue musicians and singers of every age and ability in a unique mix of top-talent entertainment and amateur sing-along.
Led by the ever-exuberant Mark Stewart (music director for Paul Simon and sideman for a host of megastars), Guitar Mash filled the music and dining venue to capacity on Sunday, Nov. 16, for its third annual event there.
Eight musicians—each taking their turn with a single tune—brought an eclectic mix of folk, country, rock, blues and bluegrass to an audience eager to join in, many with fingers on guitar strings and eyes on lyrics and easy chords projected on screens in front of them.
That Guitar Mash-style sharing began modestly in an empty lot next door to the Church Street School of Music and Art. Rebecca Weller, on the school's board at the time, suggested a guitar play-along, led by musician and club owner Andrew W.K. and the Beastie Boys'Mike D., as a way to celebrate Church Street's 20th anniversary.
Guitar Mash remains a fundraiser that benefits Church Street School as well as Little Kids Rock, an organization that provides instruments to schools across the country.
Raul Bermudez, an accomplished flamenco guitarist, said that Guitar Mash for him was a chance to play other types of music—and play it with others.

Though visitors can still access trails, roads and lookouts at Redwood National Park, most services will be unavailable due to the government shutdown.
However, operations continue at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks since they are managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, according to a national park press release.
Many agencies operated by the federal government began the process of shutting down Saturday due to a lapse in appropriations, according to the Washington Post. Though some employees will continue working, many have been furloughed. According to the Post, in both cases, those employees will be unpaid until spending authority is restored.
More than 20,000 people work for the National Park Service creating recreational opportunities for visitors and locals, preserving history and caring for 418 units nationwide, according to the press release.
At Redwood National Park, this means that emergency and rescue services will be limited. Restrooms have been locked. Trash collection, facilities and roads maintenance and public information services have been suspended, according to the press release.
Social media pages and websites belonging to the National Park Service aren't being monitored or updated and may not reflect current conditions, according to the release. Ranger-led interpretive walks, scientific research and other programs have been canceled due to the shutdown, according to the release.
Visitors will also be unable to obtain permits to the Tall Trees Grove trailhead off Bald Hills Road as well as most backcountry permits, according to the press release. However, permits to Gold Bluffs Beach are still available and can be obtained at the Prairie Creek Visitor Center, according to the press release.

An Offaly artist has paid an incredible tribute to Stephen Hillenberg after the Spongebob Squarepants creator passed away on Monday.
Having drawn a moving cartoon of Hillenberg's most famous characters, Spongebob, Patrick and Squidward arm in arm, Karen Moran posted the following message on her Facebook page.
The Croghan artist said, "Thank you for my childhood, Stephen Hillenburg, RIP." Hillenburg died on Monday at the age of 57 due to complications associated with ALS.
The animator had revealed in March 2017 that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a terminal illness that affects and causes the death of neurons that control the brain and the spinal cord.
He continued to work on the long-running Spongebob Squarepants until his death. He remains one of the most successful children's television shows of all-time.
Karen, herself an aspiring designer and animator, is currently studying Animation & Illustration at Athlone Institute of Technology and counts Hillenburg among her inspirations for following such a career path.

Trump Dropped Everything To Meet With Vet In Oval Office… You'll Melt When You See Why
President Donald Trump is as patriotic as can be — and he's got an unbelievable respect for men and women who serve in the military.
But sometimes, there are veterans who go above and beyond.
That's why Trump cleared his schedule last minute to hold an impromptu meeting with retired United States Army Staff Sergeant Travis Mills.
He is a quadruple amputee that assists veterans suffering from PTSD
In other words — he's a hero.
Here are pictures of his visit to the White House, where he met with Trump, Vice President Pence, Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, and Ivanka Trump:
Here's what he said on Facebook shortly after the meeting:
"Just making America great again for our veterans! On a serious note, thank you Vice President Mike Pence for hosting me and our team at the The White House today. It was an honor to share our mission of hosting recalibrated warriors at the Travis Mills Veterans Retreat. And, President Donald J. Trump thank you for meeting with us impromptu as well."
SHARE on Facebook and Twitter if you stand with Travis Mills!

Tony Martin quits the Tour de France
World time trial champ to heal hand injury in view of Olympics

Team Omega Pharma-QuickStep has confirmed the expected abandonment of world time trial champion Tony Martin. The German will leave the Tour de France on Tuesday's rest day in Mâcon, due to a fracture of the scaphoid bone of his hand sustained on stage one. Martin held onto the race until stage nine's time trial on Monday, where he finished an honourable 12th despite the pain and a rear wheel puncture in the first kilometres.
Injured Martin to make decision on continuing before Stage 2
Tour shorts: Martin keeps on, Team Alpecin, and fingernails
Tony Martin to abandon after time trial?
"It's difficult for me to step out of the Tour and leave my teammates here to keep on fighting," Martin said. "But it's the right thing to do now, and I know that even the guys will understand. I will go home and I will try to recover as much as I can. I don't want things to get even worse going into the mountains. I cannot imagine sitting in the back of the peloton suffering every day a little bit more as I did during this week. I really tried, but now it's time to think about my complete recovery.
"I have still three weeks before the Olympics. I know that it won't be easy, but I will do all my best to be in good shape for the Olympics," the 27-year-old added, confirming that he is still focused on the London Olympics time trial as he had announced earlier in the season.
Team doctor Helge Riepenhof supported the German's decision. "From a medical point of view, it is now time to give the scaphoid fracture a chance to heal. We also have to avoid further issues to his body because of being limited in his movement while wearing a brace. This is the only possible decision to be able to perform at the London Olympics without damaging structures such as the lower back or knees," he assessed.

Shell to resume Niger delta oil spill compensation talks
The company has admitted liability for two spills but disputes the quantity of oil and damage done
John Vidal, environment editor
Wed 19 Jun 2013 12.19 EDT First published on Wed 19 Jun 2013 12.19 EDT

Oil company Shell will resume talks next week in London with lawyers representing 15,000 of the poorest people in the world who are claiming millions of pounds' compensation for oil spills on the Niger delta. But Martyn Day, of Leigh Day law firm which is acting for the communities, said the case could still go to a full high court trial in London in 2014.
The Shell petroleum development company of Nigeria (SPDC) has admitted liability for two spills from a pipeline in the Niger delta in 2008, but the company disputes the quantity of oil that was spilled and the damage that was done to livelihoods and the environment near the coastal village of Bodo in Rivers State. Oil spill experts working for the communities estimate that nearly 500,000 barrels leaked from the company pipeline over several months, Shell claims it was far less.
The legal action, represents the first time Shell or any oil company has faced claims in the UK from a community from the developing world for environmental damage. "We have agreed to negotiate over the next two to three weeks. Probably the talks will go on into the autumn when a deal will become more likely," said Day.
The legal development came as Netherlands National Contact Point (NCP), which oversees the implementation of OECD guidelines on the human rights and environmental records of multinational companies, broadly backed claims by Amnesty International and Friends of the Earth International that Shell's repeated assertions that sabotage is responsible for most of the oil spilt in Nigeria is based on flawed investigations which rely on information provided by the company itself. The two organisations offered NCP video evidence of "serious flaws" in the system used by Shell for investigating oil spills.
NCP accepted there were problems in the spill investigation system but criticised Shell. "Shell management should have had a more cautious attitude about the percentage of oil spills caused by the sabotage. The data they are based on is not absolute," it said.
But FoeI and Amnesty said today that NCP should have gone much further in its criticism of Shell. "Sabotage is a problem in Nigeria, but Shell exaggerates this issue to avoid criticism for its failure to prevent oil spills," said Audrey Gaughran of Amnesty International. "The oil companies are liable to pay compensation when spills are found to be their fault but not if the cause is attributed to sabotage – but it is effectively the company that investigates itself. This is clearly a system open to abuse."
Shell replied that oil companies did not devise the investigation system and that they had acted within the Nigerian law. "Any spill is a serious concern, and SPDC staff and contractors are working hard to eliminate operational spills. Unfortunately the high incidence of oil theft and illegal refining in the Niger delta exacerbates the problem and has a devastating impact on the environment. This criminality is the real tragedy of the Niger delta. SPDC regrets that some NGOs continue to take a campaigning approach rather than focusing on on-the-ground solutions that bring societal benefits," said the Shell spokesman Jonathan French.
Shell's 2012 sustainability report states that 95% of the 26,500 barrels of oil spilled from Shell facilities in Nigeria which were as a result of sabotage. Of the 173 oil spills over 1.5 barrels from SPDC facilities, the company said 80% were caused by illegal activity.

2 dolphins found dead in Florida were stabbed or shot; reward offered
by: WFLA 8 On Your Side Staff
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement is offering a hefty reward for help identifying the person or persons responsible for the recent deaths of two dolphins.
Wildlife officials say the corpse of a dolphin washed up on a beach in Naples last week. The animal appeared to have been fatally wounded by a bullet and/or a sharp object.
The same week, another dolphin was found dead off Pensacola Beach with a fatal puncture wound to its head, officials said.
NOAA is also investigating the death of a dolphin that was found off Captiva Island in May 2019.
A necropsy showed the animal was impaled with a spear-like object while alive.
The dolphin was known to biologists in the area and was last seen swimming around fishing boats.
NOAA said he was seen with "begging dolphins" and the puncture wound shows the dolphin may have been in a begging position when it was stabbed.
The November investigation is still ongoing and reward for information on that case was $38,000 as of July 11.
The NOAA said biologists believe the cases stem from humans feeding wild dolphins. Dolphins will learn to associate people with boats and food, putting them in harmful situations. Dolphins are more likely to be harmed by boat strikes, fishing gear and acts of unintentional harm, officials said.
Dolphins are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. A fine of up to $100,000 may be issued to persons who harass, hunt, kill or feed wild dolphins. They could also face up to one year in jail per violation. A Kansas man was recently fined $1,250 for feeding a dolpin while on vacation in Florida.
Wildlife officials are offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information that leads to a civil penalty or criminal conviction of the person or persons responsible for the recent deaths. They're asking anyone with information to call the NOAA Enforcement Hotline at 1-800-853-1964. Tips may be left anonymously.
