Land use transition refers to changes in land use morphology, including dominant morphology and recessive morphology, of a particular region over a period of time driven by various factors. Recently, issues related to land use transition in China have attracted interest among a wide variety of researchers as well as government officials. This paper examines the patterns of land use transition and their dynamic mechanism in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain during 2000-2010. First, the spatio-temporal patterns of land use transition, their characteristics and the laws governing them were analyzed. Second, based on the established conceptual framework for analyzing the dynamic mechanism of land use transition, a spatial econometric regression analysis method was used to analyze the dynamic mechanism of the five types of major land use transition in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain at the county level. Land use pattern changes in the study area were characterized by an increase in construction land, water body and forested land, along with a decrease in farmland, unused land and grassland. The changes during 2000-2005 were much more significant than those during 2005-2010. In terms of factors affecting land use transitions, natural factors form the basis, and they have long-term effects. Socio-economic factors such as population and GDP, however, tend to determine the direction, structure, size and layout of land use transition over shorter time periods. Land law and policy factors play a mandatory guiding and restraining role in land use transitions, so as to improve the overall efficiency of land use. Land resource engineering is also an important tool to control land use transitions. In general, the five types of major land use transition were the result of the combined action of various physical, social and economic factors, of which traffic condition and location condition had the most significant effects, i.e. they were the common factors in all land use transitions. Understanding the spatio-temporal process of land use transitions and their dynamic mechanisms is an important foundation for utilizing land resources, protecting regional ecological environment and promoting sustainable regional socio-economic development.

Spatiotemporal measurement of urbanization levels based on multiscale units: A case study of the Bohai Rim Region in China
Min ZHAO, Weiming *CHENG, Qiangyi LIU, Nan WANG
Urbanization is a complex process reflecting the growth, formation and development of cities and their systems. Measuring regional urbanization levels within a long time series may ensure healthy and harmonious urban development. Based on DMSP/OLS nighttime light data, a human-computer interactive boundary correction method was used to obtain information about built-up urban areas in the Bohai Rim region from 1992 to 2012. Consequently, a method was proposed and applied to measure urbanization levels using four measurement scale units: administrative division, land-sea location, terrain feature, and geomorphological types. Our conclusions are: 1) The extraction results based on DMSP/OLS nighttime light data showed substantial agreement with those obtained using Landsat TM/ETM+ data on spatial patterns. The overall accuracy was 97.70% on average, with an average Kappa of 0.79, indicating that the results extracted from DMSP/OLS nighttime light data were reliable and could well reflect the actual status of built-up urban areas. 2) Bohai Rim's urbanization level has increased significantly, demonstrating a high annual growth rate from 1998 to 2006. Areas with high urbanization levels have relocated evidently from capital to coastal cities. 3) The distribution of built-up urban areas showed a certain degree of zonal variation. The urbanization level was negatively correlated with relief amplitude and altitude. A high level of urbanization was found in low altitude platforms and low altitude plains, with a gradual narrowing of the gap between these two geomorphological types. 4) The measurement method presented in this study is fast, convenient, and incorporates multiple perspectives. It would offer various directions for urban construction and provide reference values for measuring national-level urbanization.
Measuring the sustainable urbanization potential of cities in Northeast China
Shiwei LIU, Pingyu *ZHANG, Zheye WANG, Wenxin LIU, Juntao TAN
Sustainable urbanization is not only an important research topic in the field of urbanization, but also the development direction of new-type urbanization. In this paper, we construct an index system to evaluate sustainable urbanization potential with the entropy method. Results show that potential values of sustainable urbanization in most cities are not high. Cities with higher sustainable urbanization potential values are mainly located in the central part of Northeast China. Environmental potential of sustainable urbanization is the main contributor to sustainable urbanization potential in Northeast China. There is no absolute relationship between city size and potential value, large city does not always mean greater potential. Correlation analysis shows that urbanization rate cannot reflect the sustainable urbanization potential of a region. Population urbanization is not the ultimate goal of sustainable urbanization. Unilateral pursue urbanization rate cannot improve the potential of sustainable urbanization. Towards sustainable urbanization, governments in Northeast China should revitalize local economy, pay more attention to the rural areas and develop low-carbon economy or ecological economy. Finally, this paper highlights the importance of choosing more integrated methodology or new models for measuring sustainable urbanization potential in view of the shortcomings of one method.

Forest vegetation carbon patterns are significant for evaluating carbon emission and accumulation. Many methods were used to simulate patterns of forest vegetation carbon stock in previous studies, however, uncertainty apparently existed between results of different methods, even estimates of same method in different studies. Three previous methods, including Atmosphere-vegetation interaction model 2 (AVIM2), Kriging, Satellite-data Based Approach (SBA), and a new method, High Accuracy Surface Modeling (HASM), were used to simulate forest vegetation carbon stock patterns in Jiangxi Province in China. Cross-validation was used to evaluate methods. The uncertainty and applicability of the four methods on provincial scale were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that HASM had the highest accuracy, which improved by 50.66%, 33.37% and 28.58%, compared with AVIM2, Kriging and SBA, respectively. Uncertainty of simulation of forest biomass carbon stock was mainly derived from modeling error, sampling error and statistical error of forest area. Total forest carbon stock, carbon density and forest area of Jiangxi were 288.62 Tg, 3.06 kg/m2 and 94.32×109 m2 simulated by HASM, respectively.
The climate change variations in the northern Greater Khingan Mountains during the past centuries
Huiying ZHAO, Lijuan *GONG, Huihui QU, Haixia ZHU, Xiufen LI, Fang ZHAO
doi: 10.1007/s11442-016-1287-y
The Greater Khingan Mountains (Daxinganling) are China's important ecological protective screen and also the region most sensitive to climate changes. To gain an in-depth understanding and reveal the climate change characteristic in this high-latitude, cold and data-insufficient region is of great importance to maintaining ecological safety and corresponding to global climate changes. In this article, the annual average temperature, precipitation and sunshine duration series were firstly constructed using tree-ring data and the meteorological observation data. Then, using the climate tendency rate method, moving-t-testing method, Yamamoto method and wavelet analysis method, we have investigated the climate changes in the region during the past 307 years. Results indicate that, since 1707, the annual average temperature increased significantly, the precipitation increased slightly and the sunshine duration decreased, with the tendency rates of 0.06℃/10a, 0.79 mm/10a and -5.15 h/10a, respectively (P≤0.01). Since the 21st century, the period with the greatest increase of the annual average temperature (also with the greatest increase of precipitation) corresponds to the period with greatest decrease of sunshine duration. Three sudden changes of the annual average temperature and sunshine duration occurred in this period while two sudden changes of precipitation occurred. The strong sudden-change years of precipitation and sunshine duration are basically consistent with the sudden-change years of annual average temperature, suggesting that in the mid-1860s, the climatic sudden change or transition really existed in this region. In the time domain, the climatic series of this region exhibit obvious local variation characteristics. The annual average temperature and sunshine duration exhibit the periodic variations of 25 years while the precipitation exhibits a periodic variation of 20 years. Based on these periodic characteristics, one can infer that in the period from 2013 to 2030, the temperature will be at a high-temperature stage, the precipitation will be at an abundant-precipitation stage and the sunshine duration will be at an less-sunshine stage. In terms of spatial distribution, the leading distribution type of the annual average temperature in this region shows integrity, i.e., it is easily higher or lower in the whole region; and the second distribution type is more (or less) in the southwest parts and less (or more) in the northeast parts. Precipitation and sunshine duration exhibit complex spatial distribution and include four spatial distribution types. The present study can provide scientific basis for the security investigation of homeland, ecological and water resources as well as economic development programming in China's northern borders.
Geographic distribution of archaeological sites and their response to climate and environmental change between 10.0-2.8 ka BP in the Poyang Lake Basin, China
Jiajia XU, Yulian *JIA, Chunmei MA, Cheng *ZHU, Li WU, Yuyuan LI, Xinhao WANG
The temporal-spatial geographic distribution of archaeological sites and its feature between 10.0-2.8 ka BP (ka BP= thousands of years before 0 BP, where "0 BP" is defined as the year AD 1950) were determined, based on GIS spatial analysis in the Poyang Lake Basin. The relationship between geographic distribution of sites of different periods under subsistence existence of ancient civilizations, climate and environmental change was investigated. The results revealed numerous archaeological sites of the Neolithic Age (10.0-3.6 ka BP). The sites were mainly located in the northern part of the Poyang Lake Basin, a hilly and mountainous area with many river terraces suitable for the development of human civilization. The number of archaeological sites rapidly increased during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (3.6-2.8 ka BP) and spread widely on the floodplains of the middle and lower reaches of Ganjiang River and onto the west, south, and southeast beach areas of the Poyang Lake. Holocene records of climate change suggested that it was possible that climate fluctuations had a great impact on human evolution in the study area. Before 3.6 ka BP, westward and northward expansion of Neolithic cultures in the Poyang Lake watershed occurred under the background of climate amelioration (becoming warmer and wetter). The ancient people lived in the hilly areas with high elevation. The simple mode of a fishing and gathering economy was mostly suited to this area in the early Neolithic Age. The scope of human activities was expanded and cultural diversity developed in the late Neolithic Age. However, with population growth and increasing survival pressure in a dry-cold climatic stage after 3.6 ka BP, this simple living mode had to be abandoned, and various forms of economy, the majority being agriculture, were developed on flood plains of the lower reaches of numerous rivers around Poyang Lake. This promoted flourishing of the Bronze culture of South China.
Global virtual-land flow and saving through international cereal trade
Jingqi ZHANG, Naizhuo *ZHAO, Xingjian LIU, Ying LIU
With intense urbanization and sustained population growth, securing food production with limited land sources has increasingly become a pressing issue. Based on an analysis of international cereal (i.e., barley, buckwheat, maize, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, soybean, and wheat) trade and differences in yields of the cereal between export and import countries over the period of 2007 to 2011, we explore the great potential of land saving through the international cereal trade. By 'land saving', we refer to the reduced global total of lands required to produce a necessary amount of cereal when cereal is exported from a country with relatively large yield of the cereal to a country with relatively small yield of the cereal. Our scenario analysis suggests that international cereal trade would help mitigate the shortage of domestic arable land for many island countries (e.g., Japan) and countries in the arid Middle East and North Africa (e.g., Syria and Morocco). Furthermore, international cereal trade has the potential to generate 'land saving' of 50,092,284 ha of land per year, which is roughly the size of Spain. Drawing upon the definition of a similar concept - virtual water (Hoekstra and Hung 2002), we define virtual land as the area of land resources used for the production of goods. Through introducing the concept of virtual land, we believe land resources that are traditionally considered as stationary resources can flow with anthropogenic socioeconomic activities. The largest virtual-land flows (> 3,000,000 ha/year) exist between the United States (US) to China, Brazil to China, the US to Japan, the US to Mexico, and Argentina to China. However, not all virtual-land flows necessarily result in land saving. Thus, more endeavors are needed to plan the virtual-land flows for a larger land saving at the global scale.

A chip for displays
By System Administrator	 8th July 2003 12:00 am 15th December 2015 4:46 pm
Analog Devices has released its newest data converter with dual analog and digital interfaces for high-speed, UXGA (ultra extended graphics array) flat-panel displays.
State-of-the-art flat panel displays must work with analog signals from legacy PCs and at the same time be compatible with the high-definition digital signals of newer computer and entertainment systems.
To help display manufacturers economically bridge the analog/digital divide, the AD9887A's analog and digital interfaces are optimised to support resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz, and all HDTV formats.
To achieve this, the analog interface combines a 170-MHz triple ADC (analog-to-digital converter) with a low-jitter PLL (phase locked loop). It also features variable analog-bandwidth control, allowing the input impedance to be matched with the resolution of the incoming graphics signal.
This prevents noise distortion, eliminates external filter components, and delivers the best possible image quality by accommodating the fast slew input rate necessary for UXGA resolution and lower bandwidths suitable for lower-resolution displays. It also features integrated sync processing for composite sync and sync-on-green (SOG) applications, mid-scale clamping for HDTV (YPbPr signals), and 4:2:2 output formatting for component video applications.
The digital interface is fully compatible with the DVI version 1.0 industry standard to ensure compatibility for the growing market of liquid crystal displays (LCD), projectors and high-definition televisions (HDTV).
The AD9887A also supports the HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) standard for transmitting and receiving digital entertainment content between DVI-compliant devices.
Pin-to-pin compatible with Analog Devices' AD9887, the AD9887A comes in a 160-lead MQFP (metric quad flat pack) surface-mount plastic package designed for application from 0 degrees C to +70 degrees C. The AD9887A-170 MHz is priced at $17.75 in 1,000-piece quantities. Also available are 140-MHz and 100-MHz versions priced at $10.90 and $9.54, respectively, in 1,000-piece quantities.
Samples and evaluation kits are available now.

Determination of endogenous trace metal contents in various mouse brain regions after prolonged oral administration of aluminum chloride
M. S. Yang*, H. F. Wong, Kin Lam Yung
Aluminum (Al) has been said to associate with the Alzheimer's-like neurodegeneration in humans. One of the proposed mechanisms for the action of Al is that excess Al might interfere with trace metal metabolism. In this study, the levels of Ca, Mg, Cu, and Zn in blood, liver, and different regions of the brain (separated into the cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum, and brainstem) were measured in mice after daily oral administration of AlCl3 (100 mg/kg body weight) for 2 mo. It was found that upon prolonged oral admin3 istration of Al, serum Al level was elevated significantly. There was no marked change in serum Ca, Mg, Zn, or Cu content. In the liver, Al content was not increased but there was a significant elevation in Cu and Zn content compared to control animals, probably due to the prolonged administration of the acidic salt solution. In brain, there was a significant twofold increase in Al in the hippocampus and a significant decrease in Al in the cortex. In addition to regional changes in Al content, Zn content in the hippocampus and increased Cu content in the hippocampus, cortex, and brainstem were significantly reduced. Data demonstrated that Al could alter Zn and Cu homeostasis in selected brain regions. The possible relation between Al and neuronal cell injury was discussed.

Fort Collins Carriages: Precautions to avoid big city problems
Authors: Jamie Way
Every year around this time, Fort Collins' holiday spirit begins
to show.
White lights brighten Old Town, shoppers can be seen bustling
around the streets and for the second year, B&R Services'
carriages can be seen taking passengers for a ride around downtown.
Though many people find these rides enjoyable, others do not think
it is an acceptable form of entertainment.
Amanda Miller, event coordinator of the Downtown Business
Association, 19 Old Town Square, said she believes a variety of
people could enjoy the carriage rides, such as kids and
couples.
"I think it's just a wonderful time…" Miller said. "It adds to
the holiday experience down here."
Not everyone agrees that carriage rides should be an enjoyable
time. Ruth Goldstein, spokesperson for American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, believes that other things should
be taken into account.
"We're opposed to the act of taking people around in carriages,
in an urban area especially," Goldstein said. "It's a completely
inhumane form of entertainment." Goldstein says a variety of
concerns arise out of the horses being in an urban setting. She
said that the horses breathing exhaust, their stable conditions and
potential motor vehicle accidents are all problems. The ASPCA,
based out of New York City, campaigned to keep the carriages solely
within City Park.
"It's just not an appropriate environment," Goldstein said.
Jim Rice, owner of B&R Services, disagrees. He said his
company's wagons are equipped with turn lights, lanterns, rubber
tires and hydraulic brakes. He said they also re-shoe the horses
"Some people don't agree with using horses for work," Rice said.
"(The) teams of horses we have really love to work."
Rice and his partner Doug Barnes drive the two carriages. To
care for them they provide them with water approximately once an
hour and give them treats sporadically. They provide approximately
nine hours worth of rides.
"We switch our teams out about every two hours," Rice said.
According to Rice, the horses are very gentle and passengers
have had a very positive response.
"A lot of people get engaged on our carriages in December," Rice
Rice said many people enjoy the carriage rides, because of the
reminiscent feel they bring to the community.
"It's a lot of fun," Rice said. "It brings back the old days of
Fort Collins."

Trump Responds To CBC
PUBLISHED: 7:33 PM 27 Dec 2019
Trump Jokes Canadian PM Was Behind Removal from Home Alone 2
The Canadian Broadcasting Company removed Donald Trump's scene from the movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and the president has jokingly responded.

Over the Holidays, the Canadian Broadcasting Company aired "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York," but viewers noticed a clear omission. President Trump's cameo appearance was curiously removed from the state-owned television broadcast, causing Twitter user to pounce.
President Trump has treated the incident as it deserves… as a joke. He tweeted about it, saying that "Justin T" (Prime Minister Trudeau) must have not liked the new demands about NATO and the trade deal recently passed.
Fox News reported:
"I guess Justin T doesn't much like my making him pay up on NATO or Trade! The movie will never be the same! (just kidding)."
— US President Donald Trump tweet about Justin Trudeau
"I guess Justin T doesn't much like my making him pay up on NATO or Trade!," Trump tweeted, referring to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
"The movie will never be the same! (just kidding)," Trump added.
Sharp viewers blasted the state-owned broadcaster earlier Thursday after noticing Trump's scene was missing from the 1992 sequel, which aired earlier in the month.
In the iconic holiday film, Macaulay Culkin's character, Kevin McCallister, walks into the Plaza Hotel by himself as he is separated from his family. He runs into a passerby played by Trump and asks, "Excuse me, where's the lobby?"
"Down the hall and to the left," Trump responds as he towers over a young Culkin.
The New York Post reported that some viewers were not amused:
At least one person also pointed the finger at Trudeau.
"I bet 'two faced' Trudeau made the call directly to the @CBC and demanded they cut the scene… or maybe just black it out #DefundCBC," wrote user @Texas4trump2020.
Trump called Trudeau "two-faced" after the prime minister was caught on video making fun of him to other world leaders earlier this month at the NATO summit in London. The gibe could have also be a reference to Trudeau's multiple blackface scandals.
Responding to the outrage, the CBC said the movie wasn't edited for political purposes, but to allow for commercial breaks.
"As is often the case with features adapted for television, Home Alone 2 was edited to allow for commercial time within the format," Chuck Thompson, head of public affairs at the CBC, said in a statement.
The edits "were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected president," the statement said.
Sure. Is it standard practice to prepare broadcast material three years before it is aired?

First students earn bachelor's of nursing from UWSP
Sari Lesk
STEVENS POINT – When Amanda Simonis receives her diploma Saturday from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, it will signify that she took a step to improve her career.
The 25-year-old Custer woman is one of the first two people to graduate from UWSP with a bachelor of science in nursing. The new program allows students who have an associate degree in nursing to transfer their credits and complete the necessary work for a higher academic designation.
"The bachelor's degree actually opens up more doors for me, possibly, for the future in more of a management position," she said.
Simonis works as a nurse on the medical floor at Appleton Medical Center two days a week and plans to continue in her career after graduation. Along with her nursing degree, Simonis has also earned a degree in health care administration.
Although her associate degree prepared Simonis to perform the hands-on work of a nurse, she said her education at UWSP focused more on theories of the field, which helps her better serve her patients.
The 31-credit-hour program includes courses on cross-cultural nursing to help nurses understand the diversity of the individuals they serve, as well as education on community health, research and technology, said School of Health Care Professions Head Susan Raab.
The program has about 15 students so far, Raab said, but she expects enrollment to increase in the future now that the university is more heavily recruiting students.
The option to fill the gap between an associate degree and a bachelor's degree in nursing at a central Wisconsin school is preferable given that three major health care providers — Marshfield Clinic, Aspirus and Ministry Health Care — are located in the region, Raab said.
"Those three are a huge industry in this area and employ a large number, nursing being the largest number of health care providers in virtually any health care institution," Raab said. "The program is in a position where it can satisfy the needs of the magnet hospitals in this area."
Simonis said she recommends the program for colleagues who want to improve as nurses.
"If they want to better themselves as a nurse for their patients, I do encourage them to continue and get a bachelor's degree," she said.

One question left in Gaza: Death by massacre or lack of electricity?
Published date: 16 June 2017 13:47 UTC | Last update: 3 years 7 months ago
With intensified electricity cuts, its biggest aid donor under pressure and many saying another Israeli offensive is imminent, the siege in Gaza has never been worse
Like everywhere else in the world, electricity in Gaza gives us access to clean water and medical care. With it, we can refrigerate our food in the hot summer and find warmth in the cold winter – and connect with the outside world and one another.
It may sound very benign – electricity has been cut to Gaza – but it is a death sentence for the almost 2 million Gazans like me living in the Israeli-imposed blockaded strip.
Are there citizens in any other country in the world who debate what the better way is for them to die?
In fact, cutting electricity to Gaza is a de facto declaration of war against the civilian population and an illegal form of collective punishment.
For those who are not familiar, the debate amongst Gazans nowadays is whether a direct military assault - that is the use of bombs and guns carried out by apartheid Israel - is a better way to die than through an incremental genocide, the intensifying blockade that has been imposed on our tiny strip for 10 years.
Just think about that: are there citizens in any other country in the world who debate what the better way is for them to die?
Gideon Levy, the courageous Israeli journalist, has an answer: "What's at stake now is the danger of another massacre in the Gaza Strip. Controlled, measured, not too massive, but nonetheless a massacre. When Israeli officers, politicians and commentators talk about 'the next round,' they're talking about the next massacre."
The PA's means and ends
Apartheid Israel has maintained a deadly medieval blockade on Gaza since 2007, when the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, seized control of the tiny strip after legitimately winning the 2006 Legislative Council elections.
This blockade was imposed because the democratic choice of the Palestinians was rejected outright by almost all major powers in the region, including the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority.
The occupants of Gaza are not just the leaders of Hamas but ordinary Palestinians too. We are the people who are enduring these salary and electricity cuts
The siege has recently become even worse because in April, Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority (PA), asked Israel to cut the electricity supply to the Gaza Strip to exert pressure on Hamas.
This followed his decision, also in April, to reduce the salaries of Gaza-based civil servants by 30 percent. It should be obvious to any reader that the occupants of Gaza are not just the leaders of Hamas but ordinary Palestinians too. We are the people who are enduring these salary and electricity cuts.
Even after a decade-long blockade, the situation here in Gaza is the worst it's ever been following these latest changes. Hospitals, including Al-Shifa in Gaza City, have stopped doing operations, even in urgent cases.
As a result of the electricity cuts, 90 percent of the water supply is now undrinkable, increasing the risk of disease spread by dirty water.
The Palestinian Authority has reduced its monthly payments for electricity by 30 percent. And so Israel has allowed only 40 watts of power to be provided to the Strip in the full knowledge that 400 watts are needed for Gaza to meet the bare minimum survival needs.
Repeat warnings
It's not like the world hasn't been warned – repeatedly.
In mid-May, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) warned of the imminent collapse of the Gaza Strip saying, in a grim statement, that: "The scarcity of energy and the severe shortage of fuel in Gaza have damaged all aspects of life in the Strip…" The statement warned of a "looming crisis" in the public health and environment sectors as a result of the lack of energy.
And back in September 2015, the UN warned that Gaza could be "uninhabitable" by 2020. At the time, the report made it clear that Gaza's GDP had dropped by 15 percent in 2014, and unemployment had reached a record high of 44 percent with 72 percent of households being food insecure. The report concluded that Gaza's de-development had been accelerated by the Israeli assault on Gaza in 2014.
What Israel fears about Hamas and the Qatar crisis
This month, the UN acknowledged that without immediate action, the electricity crisis will bring about the "collapse of vital life-saving, health, water, sanitation and municipal services". But strangely, the UN does not seem to have a grip on international law as the UN apportions blame for this crisis on the occupied Palestinians, not the Israeli occupier.
On the other hand, Richard Falk, the previous UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territories called a spade a spade, saying that he considered the siege on Gaza a "flagrant and massive violation of international humanitarian law" and a "crime against humanity". Israeli writer Ilan Pappe also rightly calls it an "incremental genocide".
What has become routine
The terror of it is that Gazans die every day, but death from illness as a result of dirty water or the lack of a life-saving operation, starvation due to the crops that fail to grow without sufficient irrigation, or babies dying because they cannot be kept warm in their first few days of life, these ways of dying do not make the news headlines.
Gazan deaths do not make the news headlines because they have been a daily routine for a decade. Only Israel benefits from this silence, and only Gazans pay the price for this silence.
Gideon Levy again: "To the Israelis, Gaza was and is a nest of terrorists…all its residents are murderous. They're building terror tunnels instead of inaugurating high-tech plants. No, really, how come Hamas hasn't developed Gaza? How dare they? How have they not set up an industry under siege, agriculture in prison and high-tech in a cage?"
It needs to be understood by the outside world that there is not much that we in Gaza can do against this medieval blockage except call on our supporters to intensify their call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel. Every single victory of the BDS movement supports Gaza's survival.
The international community has utterly failed us. PERIOD. Words and empty rhetoric do not keep a Palestinian child crying out for milk alive, nor does it provide a terminally ill person with treatment.
We have just one window of hope, the same window that black South Africans saw before us – a sustained campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions against apartheid Israel until it complies with international law.

New Relic offers distributed tracing for monitoring and analyzing the behavior of modern distributed systems. This document gives an overview of how our distributed tracing feature works. For an introduction to the feature and its benefits, see Introduction to distributed tracing.
When distributed tracing is enabled, the New Relic agent adds an HTTP or messaging header newrelic to a service's outbound requests. The header contains information that helps us link the spans together later: metadata like the trace ID number, the ID number of the span, the ID number of the New Relic account, and sampling information.
When that service calls other New Relic-monitored services that also have distributed tracing enabled, the header continues to be propagated, and so on and so on, until the request has completed.
Some services may communicate through proxies or other intermediaries that don't automatically propagate the trace header. This would require configuration to allow it to pass that header. For more on that and other reasons a trace may have missing data, see the troubleshooting documentation.
Distributed tracing offerings from all vendors (including us) currently use proprietary solutions for propagating trace context. We are involved in the W3C Distributed Tracing working group, which is working toward a standard header name and content. This industry standard will allow distributed tracing to work consistently across vendor implementations. We will adopt this standard once it is approved.
Span event: A span represents a duration of time in a service or service function. Span events are created by New Relic agents based on several sampling rules. To see attributes for this event type, see Span attributes.
Transaction event: If an entity is monitored by a New Relic agent, a request to that entity generates a single Transaction event. Transaction data allows distributed trace data to be tied to other APM features, like custom attributes. To see attributes for this event type, see Transaction attributes.
Spans and transactions that have been selected for inclusion in a trace are combined to display complete traces on the Distributed tracing UI page. All events, including spans not displayed in the UI and transactions not part of a trace, can be queried via New Relic Insights.
For more on how distributed trace data is displayed in the New Relic UI, see Understand distributed trace data.
Our distributed tracing feature reports and processes a large amount of data. A typical trace will contain many events, each with its own set of attributes, and there will usually be many traces reported per minute for each New Relic agent.
For this reason, we use adaptive sampling to capture a representative sample of system activity. This sample of data ideally represents the characteristics of the larger data population.
APM metric data (non-distributed tracing data) is not sampled. Distributed tracing collects event data, not metric data. For more on the distinction between event data and metric data, see data differences.
We use adaptive sampling to capture a representative sample of system activity. The following is an explanation of how adaptive sampling works.
For the first service in a distributed trace, 10 requests are chosen to be sampled. The throughput to that service is used to adjust how frequently requests are sampled. This is explained in more detail below.
The first New Relic-monitored service in a distributed trace is called the trace origin. The trace origin chooses requests at random to be traced. That decision propagates to the downstream services touched by that request. When the request has completed, all of the spans created by the services touched by that request are available in the New Relic UI as a complete end-to-end trace.
APM agents have a limit on the number of transactions collected per minute (this can vary, depending on agent) and a limit on the number of spans collected per minute (1000 per agent instance). To adhere to these limits, the default number of traces at the trace origin is 10 traces per minute.
An APM agent spreads out the collection of these 10 traces over a minute in order to get a representative sample over time. The exact sampling rate depends on the number of transactions in the previous minute. The rate responds to changes in transaction throughput, going up or down.
For example: if the previous minute had 100 transactions, the agent would anticipate a similar number of transactions and select 1 out of every 10 transactions to be traced.
A New Relic agent instance has a limit of 1,000 spans per minute. The agent attempts to keep all spans that are marked to be sampled as part of a distributed trace.
In many distributed systems, the average microservice may generate 10 to 20 spans per request. In those cases, the agent span limit can accommodate all spans chosen, and that service will have full detail in a trace.
However, some requests to services will generate many spans, and the agent span limit will be reached. As a result, some traces will not have full detail for that service. One solution to this would be to custom instrument a New Relic agent to report less activity and therefore report fewer spans.

A cluttered kitchen is transformed into an organized space, complete with top-notch appliances (including two stoves!), an open-plan layout and plenty of storage. See how architect Wanda Ely gave homeowners Ferris and Aaron Grant their dream space. As a chef, Aaron dreamed of having a restaurant-style kitchen that's both functional and family-friendly. To achieve this, Wanda merged the home's dining and living space with the kitchen by adding a long table that doubles as a prep station and a place to eat. A pegboard continues the length of the area, where a collection of pots and pans transitions to a display of family photos. A large pantry that's built atop the original exposed brick, mismatched dining chairs and rustic finishes add character to the space.

We refurbished this stunning Victorian flat with its impressive cornices - we restored the original floors and introduced a fresh and modern colour palette to create a blank canvas for the client's collection of contemporary furniture and artwork.
The study received a gentle overhaul by introducing large windows that bring the morning light into the room and transform the space completely.
The tired bathroom received a modern, cool industrial look with a walk-in shower. Dark colours on the walls with light, textured tiles combined with matt black brassware and hints of brass give it a subtle sense of luxury.
A new home should be a reflection of the client's personalities, interests and their lifestyle.
The basis of this concept design is rooted in the client's interest in Buddhism: the four elements, air, fire, earth and water are the main inspiration for the design. All four elements are present in the neighbourhood of Chelsea Bridge Wharf and used in the design. It incorporates the Asian simplicity and tranquility and spirituality and offers the comfort and practicalities of modern life.
A liveable combination of warmth, textures and colours that create a place of serenity, happiness, harmony and balance.
This alpine residence is overlooking the nearby village and has spectacular views over the mountain ranges of Davos.
We drew inspiration from the local venacular and created a modern bathroom using local materials that perfectly fit into the existing rustic atmosphere of the chalet.
Majestic and beautiful churches that are at the heart of our neighbourhoods sometimes cease to being places of worship.
This study analysed how a church might be transformed for an alternative use.
Taking inspiration from the contour lines and the shape of the land - the contoured interior floors bring the outside inside and undulating lines alternate from the horizontal to the vertical and back. One of the most important aspects was not to touch the existing architecture but to embrace it and create an organic box within the existing architecture that stands at the heart of the building. Different levels are introduced that connect different levels by bridges and curvaceous staircases. Organic shapes complement the use of different textures, natural materials and fabrics in muted colours.
The other inspiration is hidden underground - gems and crystals. Their shapes and colours forming an underground bar, like a geode, with a starry ceiling covered in amethysts and crystals to create a luxurious space.
In naming the restaurant is a reference to two elements: the desire for experimenting or working in the kitchen, represented by the word 'labora' and the building's former use as a church is represented by the word 'ora'.
The concept for the office of an international skincare company was to create a cool yet elegant and timeless design that represents modern women that like a hint of luxury and a certain edge.
The brand's colours and shades of peacock blue, salmon and bronze create a welcoming and reassuring ambience and the striking meeting room cleverly hides ample storage behind those golden lips!

"Enron's Jeff Skilling Could Get Early Release From Prison"
CNBC on April 4, 2013 released the following:
"By: Scott Cohn
CNBC Senior Correspondent
Former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling, who is serving a 24-year prison term for his role in the energy giant's epic collapse, could get out of prison early under an agreement being discussed by his attorneys and the Justice Department, CNBC has learned.
Skilling, who was convicted in 2006 of conspiracy, fraud and insider trading, has served just over six years. It is not clear how much his sentence would be shortened under the deal.
A federal appeals panel ruled in 2009 that the original sentence imposed by U.S. District Judge Sim Lake was too harsh, but a re-sentencing for the 59-year-old Skilling has repeatedly been delayed, first as the appeals process played out, and then as the negotiations for a deal progressed.
Those talks had been a closely guarded secret, but Thursday the Justice Department quietly issued a notice to victims required under federal law:
"The Department of Justice is considering entering into a sentencing agreement with the defendant in this matter," the notice reads. "Such a sentencing agreement could restrict the parties and the Court from recommending, arguing for, or imposing certain sentences or conditions of confinement. It could also restrict the parties from challenging certain issues on appeal, including the sentence ultimately imposed by the Court at a future sentencing hearing."
(Read More: Flush With Crime: Study Shows Prison a Career Booster)
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment. Skilling's longtime defense attorney, Daniel Petrocelli, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Lake, who imposed the original sentence, would have the final say in the sentence. The posting of the notice, however, suggests the parties have some indication he will go along. Lake held a private conference call with attorneys for both sides last month.
For Skilling, who has consistently maintained his innocence, an agreement would end a long ordeal, although his conviction on 19 criminal counts would likely stand. The government, meanwhile, would avoid a potentially messy court battle over alleged misconduct by the Justice Department's elite Enron Task Force appointed in the wake of the company's sudden failure in 2001.
Skilling's attorneys had planned to move for a new trial based on that alleged misconduct. Under a sentencing agreement, that motion would likely be dropped.
Skilling, who developed Enron's business model as an "asset-light" energy trading company, rose to CEO in early 2001, only to resign six months later. Soon after that, Enron began its sudden plunge into what was at the time the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history."

Federal prosecutors claim Houston doctor was go-to man for fraud
The Houston Chronicle on May 22, 2012 released the following:
"By Terri Langford
A Houston physician accused of Medicare fraud prescribed costly home health care to hundreds of patients who didn't need it – the majority of whom he never examined – resulting in more than $5.2 million in phony Medicare claims, according to federal data presented to jurors Tuesday.
In an unflattering snapshot of the home health care industry, the case brought by the government against Dr. Ben Echols aims to show he easily was able to sign off on home health care prescriptions for 352 patients and that the nation's Medicare system, a $700 billion-plus behemoth, relies on an honor system where doctors and home health care agencies police their own claims.
Echols' attorney, Connie Williams, insists his client has done nothing against the law or Medicare rules.
"He's a good doctor. I think a lot of people in the community love him," Williams said of his client. "However, he's not the best manager in world."
Echols' signature was found on the patients' plans of care forms, also known as a "485" form, paperwork needed by home health care companies before they can submit a claim for their services to Medicare.
The forms never make it to Medicare claims officials.
The home health care agencies and doctors keep them in their files in case a claim is questioned.
All of the requests for home health care for the 352 patients in question came from two home health care companies: Family Healthcare Services and Houston Compassionate Care.
Owners pleaded guilty
The owners of Family Healthcare, Clifford Ubani and Princewill Njoku, have already pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit health care fraud, one count of conspiracy to pay kickbacks and 16 counts of payment of kickbacks to Medicare beneficiary recruiters.
A record kept by Family Healthcare and recovered from a storage facility by federal investigators showed how the company went to Echols after patients' own physicians rejected Family Healthcare's request to provide services. The company dubbed the record, a "Re-Bill Doctor Log."
However, most of the patients – 204 – were referred by Echols for home health care services from Compassionate Care, the same company that paid him $103,400 to serve as "medical director," a position that requires him to make sure the company is following proper health care protocol.
Nurse indicted
The signature on the payments to Echols was that of Valnita Turner, a registered nurse with Compassionate Care.
Turner was indicted this month in the nation's largest Medicare fraud sweep and is accused of conspiracy to disclose health information, conspiracy to commit health care fraud and five counts of health care fraud.
The second day of testimony in Echols' trial, in U.S. District Judge Sim Lake's court room, focused on how the two companies outmaneuvered Medicare through unsophisticated paperwork sleights-of-hand.
In one example, Family Healthcare Services tried to get a patient in Crockett, 120 miles from Houston, approved by his hometown physician for home health care.
The doctor's office in Crockett faxed their denial back to Family Healthcare Services.
"He wasn't home-bound," testified nurse practitioner Toni McDonald, who worked for the doctor in Crockett. "He was driving."
Not long after the denial, that same patient's request for home health care was approved by Echols.
But Family Healthcare submitted paperwork to Medicare, under the Crockett physician's Medicare number, not Echols', according to testimony from U.S. Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General agent Korby Harshaw.
Rules tightened
A year ago, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) tightened home health care rules because too many doctors were approving patients for home health care without seeing the patient.
Of the 352 patients approved for home health care services by Echols, 200 did not have an office visit with him beforehand.
And at least one patient he approved for care got it for 2½ years before he was seen by the physician.
As Echols left the courthouse Tuesday he declined comment, then added, "Except to say I am not the monster you think I am.""
