Lic. #245544 IEEE Life InsuranceJust as you get regular checkups for your health, teeth, and even your car to minimize future problems, most financial experts recommend that you get an annual life insurance checkup so you're prepared for the future. Now-during Life Insurance Awareness Month-may be a good time to review the following: Do you have enough? Do you have enough life insurance to help adequately replace your income and other contributions you make to your family? Has anything changed in your life? Marriage, divorce, children, job changes, a new home and retirement, among others, can affect your life insurance needs. If something's changed, your life insurance requirements need to change too. How's the economy impacting you? Economic conditions have probably reduced the actual value of your life insurance. As a rule of thumb, if the cost of living has increased 3 percent since you last purchased coverage, your life insurance should increase by the same amount. No one wants to think about life insurance and checkups, but we need to if we have loved ones who depend on us. If your checkup shows that you need to add more coverage, you can take advantage of new rate reductions in the popular IEEE Member Group Term Life Insurance Plan. First, the plan's economical base rates were reduced 10 percent. Then, targeted rate reductions (an additional 13 percent for members under age 30; an additional 5 percent for 61-year-old members; an additional 10 percent for members aged 62 - 63; an additional 20 percent for members age 64) make the plan an even better value. Best of all, the plan's recent rate reductions are in addition to the 30 percent premium discount in effect through February 28, 2013. To access educational life insurance tools and more information* on life insurance plans available, visit www.ieeeinsurance.com. * To learn about each plan's features, costs, eligibility, renewability, limitations, and exclusions. The IEEE Member Group Term Life Insurance Plan is available in the U.S. (except territories), Puerto Rico and Canada (except Quebec) and is underwritten by New York Life Insurance Company, 51 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10010 on Policy Form GMR. This coverage is available to residents of Canada (except Quebec) through Marsh Canada Limited.

2013 IEEE Radar Conference (RadarCon)Date: April 29 - May 3, 2013 The conference theme is The Arctic The New Frontier as it presents a vast and challenging environment for which radar systems operating in a multi-sensor environment are currently being developed for deployment on space, air, ship and ground platforms and for both remote sensing of the environment and for the monitoring of human activity. It is one of the major challenges and applications being pursued in the field of radar development in Canada. 2013 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)Date: May 4-5, 2013 Advanced medical instrumentation and measurement form the first link in the chain connecting engineering to medicine and pharmaceutical technique. At this stage, flaws may lead to a myriad of repercussions at all levels, starting with the safety and efficacy of care. http://memea2013.ieee-ims.org/ 2013 International Conference on Advances in Industrial Control, Electronics and Computer Engineering (AICECE)Date: May 6-8, 2013 The aim of this conference is to gather researchers from academia and industry in Industrial Control, Electronics and Computer Engineering to discuss the recent developments and progress in this field. 3rd Climate Change Technology Conference (CCTC 2013)Date: May 27-29, 2013 The 3rd Climate Change Technology Conference (CCTC 2013) is a Canadian and international forum for the exchange of ideas for dealing with climate change. It is also an opportunity to keep abreast of emerging techniques and technologies for the mitigation of, and adaptation to, the impacts of climate change. The Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) and ten of its member societies are organizing CCTC 2013, which will be held on the campus of Concordia University in Montreal. The very success of our species has led to a situation in which this planet's finite resources must be considered in all future planning. This conference is dedicated to the study and exposition of the status and prospects of engineering in support of a bright future for humanity in the midst of a rapidly changing and uncertain environment, both physical and sociological due to climate change. http://www.cctc2013.ca/CallPapers/CallPapers.html IEEE International Conference on Wireless for Space and Extreme Environments (WiSEE)Date: November 7-9, 2013 This IEEE conference will bring together investigators from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), the European Space Agency (ESA), and other space agencies, along with industry and academic researchers, in an effort to understand and solve the emerging problems facing wireless sensing and communication in space and related extreme environments.
