Strategic thinking and adaptability to change continue to be the top skills identified for effective leadership. Having this in place for current and future leaders is a must for all organizations and is worth the investment.
One study noted that the top organizations investing in leadership development have grown their market capitalization by 200 percent in the past 10 years - a 116 percent increase compared to those without comprehensive leadership programs.
A second study found that strategic thinking was 10 times more important to organizational effectiveness than other personal behaviors. And strategic thinking was twice as important as communication, the second most important identified behavior.
While organizations need all types of thinkers, strategic thinkers take a broader view of an organization and issues; providing more objective analysis and planning. This includes identifying not only what can occur in the short-term (3-12 months), but also how this will impact the next series of decisions in 18 months, two or three years.
Strategic thinking and adapting to change are difficult leadership skills to measure and develop. Both are more of a mindset vs. learned skill. In addition, while most organizations talk about strategy, they do not "walk the talk." They are more reactive and reward immediate, tactical responses instead of well thought out strategies.
Fostering a culture of strategic thinking and change takes time and full engagement. Those on current leadership teams may not have these skills, yet serve as examples for others. Some items for organizations to consider include:
? Allowing regular time for thinking, both alone and with others.
? Seeking people outside of your industry. While individuals will need some industry education, those with general business experience know how to apply strategy to all industries.
? Using your strategic thinkers as coaches for others because they know which questions to ask and explain "why" to help develop others.
? Communicating that change is continuous and should be celebrated.
To thrive with both strategic thinking and change, organizations must be strategic about strategic thinking and demonstrate cultural change. This is the spirit of looking to the interests of others to develop effective leaders and organizational success.

Valentine Special: Through February 14th, you can get $40 off the purchase of their newest edition... the Twister Jar . This is the lowest price ever for this amazing jar! The Twister Jar can create extra-thick blends like nut butters, hummus, baby food, dips, dressings, thick shakes and more! Compare peanut butter in the FourSide Jar (4-5 minutes) vs. the Twister Jar (35-45 seconds). The jar can be loaded up to a full 16 oz., which is incredible for dense ingredients. These jars normally sell for $129, but get it today for only $89! Of course, if you don't have the blender base... read on.
Over 2 years ago I was blessed (and thrilled!) to receive Blendtec to review and compare it to Vitamix.
I had been using Vitamix for about 3 years and
it did pretty well and I was, for the most part, happy with it… until I
got Blendtec.
Since Blendtec arrived, I have retired Vitamix and
don't miss him one bit! Sorry Vitamix!
Below I am going to share my fourteen reasons, yes 14 (why does it have to be 10 like everybody else?!), why you should have Blendtec helping you in the kitchen.
14 Reasons Why I HEART Blendtec
So easy to clean. The whole thing is a breeze to clean! The buttons don't have cracks and the motor base can be wiped down easily with a wet cloth. The wide square base of this blender makes cleaning so much easier then Vitamix. You can toss it in the dishwasher or put in a couple drops of soap
with water and pulse a few times, then rinse and dry it!
Nothing gets stuck at
the base. It really bothered me whenever food would get stuck at the base
of my old Vitamix, especially in the corners where I couldn't get it with the stick. I would have to turn it off and take a knife or thin spatula
and scrape it around to get it moving again. With Blendtec, you can be
assured that nothing will get stuck at the base because of its wide square base!
Functions like a food
processor. I often make homemade salsa, chopped or pureed… depending on
what I want. You can throw in any fruit or veggie and pulse for a few seconds
to get it nicely chopped. Honestly, though, I still like my CuisineArt food processor and think it does a better job with some things like homemade mayo! Blendtec also makes wonderful soup very simply & smoothly… much like Vitamix, but better.
Grinds grain perfectly. I was shocked by how good this monster can grind grains into fine powder... it can even turn flax seeds and chai seeds into a nice powder! I have tried grinding my grains in my old Vitamix and wasn't too
happy with how hot and gritty it would get. Plus, some of the flour would get
stuck in the base. With Blendtec, you can blend both dry and wet ingredients in
one container (with Vitamix you have to buy two!) and does a way better job,
all because of that wide square base! You can only grind 2 cups at a time, not
exactly ideal for large quanities of bread baking, but great for everyday flour
needs (ex: pancakes, muffins, crackers, etc.). I've grind my orange chips into powder in Blendtec and love how quickly it does the job!
Makes fantastic
"smooth" smoothies. We love our smoothies , especially green smoothies
whenever I am able to get fresh lettuce or spinach. I am so happy with my
smoothies because they come out so smooth that you really can't tell by texture
what's in the smoothie. I am able to "hide" some things in the smoothies from
my girls and they slurp it up with delight! Another bonus, I can throw in whole
raw flax or chai seeds and they are completely grinded smooth with no lingering
texture. Never been able to do that with old Vitamix!
More versatile. According to the company, Blendtec can replace up to nine other kitchen applicances - no need for a grain mill, juicer, bread machine, ice cream maker , smoothie maker, blender, milkshake maker, coffee grinder or ice crusher. But I honestly can't live without my ice cream maker or juicer as they do best what they are made to do!
Makes smooth sauces
with ease. I love how I can throw in a whole apple (skin, seeds and all!),
add a little water and in several seconds get raw applesauce. Makes wonderful
salsas, hummus, tomato sauce, mayo and other sauces in just over a minute! But you have to make sure to have enough moisture to keep it going without it getting too hot... normal for any blender.
Can do the job itself.
Love how I don't have to guess how long and how high or low of speed to use
with Blendtec! This machine is a 'smart' blender, with 17 settings to get the
job done! It's simple, all I need to do is push my desired setting and let the
machine do its job. I don't have to stand there, hold the lid down and jiggle
around with it like I had to with Vitamix. Blendtec has specific digital
settings for pretty much every job and will turn off automatically when the
task is done! Totally a muti-task machine… I can get a smoothie going or some
sauce while prepping something else or cleaning up. Also, if you have an
absent-minded family member, no worries… Blendtec will turn off on it own!
Very powerful &
compacted. This machine is a monster, I am not kidding! It can tear through
anything from 1560 watt with a 3 HP direct-drive motor and does not need any
extra space to fit its mighty engine. It has run powerfully since the first day I used it and I've used it over 930 times! I couldn't say that for Vitamix, after just a year of using it The overall height is shorter, but wide
and can fit in standard countertops. I couldn't do that with old Vitamix, had
to put the container next to the base because it is too tall. It is compacted
enough that you can take with you when traveling , so you and your family can
eat healthy while on the road!
Professional &
very durable. After having Blendtec for over 2 years now, I can't believe how
durable it is! This Blendtec machine is popular in the majority of professional businesses and
known for its high quality guarantee.
Better technology. I love how it shows on the screen how many times I've put Blendtec to work... over 930 times and it still works like new! When you run Blendtec, a timer comes up to show how much time is left before its done. Like I shared above... it is a 'smart' blender with 17 settings to get the job done well! I appreciate how the company took care to design their blenders with a wider base so there is no need to use a stick to push everything into the blade. That was one thing that bothered me about all the blenders I've used growing up, the narrow base... it never made sense to me because in order to 'cut & puree' your food up, you need room to allow the food to move around the blade, duh!
BPA-free plastic.
Nice to know that I am not exposing my family to toxic chemicals when using it!
Looks pleasantly
attractive. I like how simple and neat it looks, not bulky or awkward like Vitamix. Plus, you can choose a white, black or red base. I chose red, but
they sent me a black one! Oh well, can't complain when it was free!
Decent coverage.
Each Blendtec Blender has a lifetime warranty on the blade so you don't have to
worry about it getting dull on ya! That was another issue I had with old Vitamix,
the blade got pretty dull and wasn't doing the job like they said it would. I was preparing myself to pay for a new blade and try to replace it myself! Blendtec is made with solid-state electronics which are more dependable and
less likely to give you trouble, so you won't have to go through the headache
of sending it back for repairs!
Check out the video to visually compare Vitamx with Blendtec... Now, I'm sure many of you are wondering if all I am saying is too good to be true. It is for real so good and true! Even better, Blendtec recently upgraded their warranty to 7 years. Before it was 3 years, but they've been making improvements and working towards bringing you the best quality kitchen appliance. Vitamix and Blendtec are very similar, but Vitamix is more commonly known because it has been marketed better... but the Blendtec company has been changing that. Now, I'm sure you've been hearing the name pop up more and seeing it all over the food blogs nowadays. Blendtec is the choice among professionals, especially among the raw foody crowd. Its body can fit on your countertop and one jar does it all, while Vitamix it too tall and has two different jars to accomplish everything. Vitamix doesn't turn itself off and has two switches that have to be used carefully during the blending process (a pain), while the Blendtec does all the work for you in speed, power and will turn off when done. Now, the cost... Blendtec Wildside , which is what I have, costs $474.95... ouch, I know. BUT BUT but when you consider the cost of purchasing all nine of those kitchen appliances that Blendtec can replace... you save a good chunk of $$$ with one fantastic machine! A grain grinder alone can cost around $250 and I don't even use or like the one I have!! As a missionary, I've had to simplify and make use with what I have. If I had the Blendtec from the beginning... I would not have half the appliances I have in my kitchen right now. Honestly. Also, the Blendtec company is coming out with a new, improved & fancier machine called the Total Blender Designer Series ... go check it out and make sure to wipe up your drool! It is supposed to be much quieter than the other machines. Hope so! Mine sounds like a monster, but a good monster ;o) To wrap it up... if you were to invest in one machine that would help you transition to a whole foods lifestyle, this is the machine you want. It is quality in action. Valentine Special: Through February 14th, you can get $40 off the purchase of their newest edition... the Twister Jar . This is the lowest price ever for this amazing jar! The Twister Jar can create extra-thick blends like nut butters, hummus, baby food, dips, dressings, thick shakes and more! Compare peanut butter in the FourSide Jar (4-5 minutes) vs. the Twister Jar (35-45 seconds). The jar can be loaded up to a full 16 oz., which is incredible for dense ingredients. These jars normally sell for $129, but get it today for only $89! That's almost half off the original price! Small print stuff: Yes, I will earn a small commission through my links and that is no extra charge for you. Thank you for supporting my family this way! |

For all you computer-savvy folks out there, I just got the following response as I tried to refresh the page several times a few minutes ago. What does this mean? Did it happen because Brian was in the process of posting new front page content? Or is it something with my computer? Or is it some kind of statement with respect to my mental capacity having been overloaded this Tuesday afternoon?

How can I get a nursing evaluation from current employer?
0 I have been sorting for this home health company for more than 6months as per-dime. But because i wanted more shifts I recently applied for several other places. I got a phone call from one place. They said they want to interview me, but they also need me to get my nursing evaluation from my current employer otherise they don't interview nurses. I have asked my current employer 3 times and also sent e-mail, requesting a nursing evaluation. I explained why I needed it also. However my current employer have never given me a nursing evaluation yet and therefore I might loose opportunity to have the interview. But I really want to get the job and I had better get an evaluation soon. Is there any way I can get my current employer to write a evaluation? I already asked them four times but it looks like they won't write it. They have just ignored my request. I need some advise.
Must Read Topics
0Jun 27, '12 by caliotter3I've had employers that won't write evaluations. I don't understand why the prospective employer wants an evaluation instead of an employment reference. Those are done over the phone or sent through the mail and not all employers ignore them.0Jun 27, '12 by 50knthank you caliotter3 for your response. i agree. i want my prospective employer to just call my current employer to do an employment reference over the phone.…j
i called my current employer (owner) again this morning because the interview is scheduled on friday (today is wednesday) and i need to bring my employer's evaluation. if i cannot get it by friday the interview will be cancelled. the current employer (owner) said that she would talk to some nurse if she can write an evaluation. when i asked the owner "do you think you can do it?" she said "i don't know i am not a nurse i need to talk to some nurse." today is already wednesday and there seems no way i can get the evaluation before friday. so, i will probably lose an opportunity to have the interview. it is sad to hear that my current employer even does not know if they can write a evaluation for me or not.1Jun 27, '12 by caliotter3How hard can it be just to write something generic and par for the course? If this employer was the be all and end all of employers, you would not be seeking other employment. Just goes to show you that you probably should get away from this employer lock, stock, and barrel. They are showing you that they truly do not care about you.NRSKarenRN likes this.0Jul 24, '12 by tothepointeLVNY'know I came across this the other day with a job lead that was mailed to me by one of the job sites. It was for a flu shot clinic position but they wanted this "Two (2) employer references which must be signed by RN Supervisors or Managers"
I mean really who needs a flu shot gig so badly they are going to jump through those hoops when the same job for another company requires virtually nothing.

dc.description.abstract | The discussion in this paper examines the emergence of what may now be fairly described as the ¿European cartel offence¿: that species of infringement of Article 81 of the EC Treaty, increasingly referred to as ¿hard core cartel¿ activity, connoting real delinquency which justifies the imposition of severe penal sanctions. This development is significant not just as a matter of more explicit regulation within the field of competition law, but also as part of a wider context of vilification and criminalisation of certain well-established forms of cartel behaviour. As national systems (such as that in Britain) have introduced new criminal offences in relation to cartels, it is illuminating to consider and compare the evolution of the supranational ¿European cartel offence¿. Having its basis in the infringement of Article 81 of the EC Treaty, the offence is necessarily one of collusion, being an agreement or concertation for anti-competitive purposes. As such, the more specific nature of the ¿offence¿ has been established incrementally, very much as the product of argument presented in appeals relating to issues of evidence and penalties. It has been necessary to consider whether the offence resides in the planning or the implementation of anti-competitive activity, or both, and whether it comprises specific acts or a continuing pattern of behaviour. The mature version of the ¿offence¿, worked out in the jurisprudence of the European Commission and the Community Courts, is based on the organising concept of ¿the cartel as a whole¿. This process of forging a ¿European cartel offence¿ provides an instructive lesson in the legal construction of criminality and the resort to a form of organisational responsibility. It also points to the emergence of a bifurcated system of both individual and corporate liability in this context. | en |

Rockwell Automation: Safe-speed monitoring relay
Rockwell Automation offers Allen-Bradley's Guardmaster Minotaur MSR57P dedicated safe-speed monitoring relay to allow personnel to enter hazardous areas while motion is present.
The system supports numerous input devices such as E-stops, light
curtains, enabling switches and interlock switches, which detect
demands on the safety system and initiate a stop request of the motion.
It also monitors personnel in the hazardous area while the machine is
in a safe-speed condition. Users can configure the safety relay with
either Allen-Bradley DriveExplorer software or a human interface
module. The relay can be used with standard drives and with the
"safe-off" option on Allen-Bradley PowerFlex drives. It monitors the
speed of the motion via one or two encoders, depending on the level of
integrity required.

Hi folks, In his seminal work of 1937, Wigner showed that the rest mass and (absolute) spin of a particle are the same for all observers related by Lorentz transformation. Does anyone know whether these quantities are also preserved under transformations to relatively accelerated observers (including those rotating w/r/t each other)? Many thanks!
For point particles, we can use general covariance and the properties of a manifold to define mass and spin. Basically, in a small enough neighborhood of a point, we can introduce flat coordinates. So we have local Poincare invariance to allow us to define mass and spin. Since the flat coordinates have to map nicely on intersections of neighborhoods, when we extend this to the rest of the manifold we will find that all observers must agree on the mass and spin of the particle. For extended particles like the proton, in any experiment that we could actually do, the curvature is constant over the microscopic size of the particle, so we can treat them like point particles. For extended systems (size comparable to the distances over which the curvature is varying), it can be very complicated to define mass and angular momentum. See this wiki for an extensive discussion and references.
Thanks for that! But can I ask how the situation looks even in flat spacetime? I appreciate that observers related by Poincare transformations will always agree on the proper mass and absolute spin of a particle, but what about observers accelerating w/r/t each other, even in Minkowski spacetime? Any thoughts much appreciated!

Prop 1 behind in tonight's special election count
Proposition 1, the special election measure to fund the recently formed King County Transportation Benefit District, is currently failing at 55 percent as of Tuesday night's ballot count. Nearly 364,000 ballots for a currently 31 percent turnout have been counted. King County is anticipating a 38 percent turnout this election.
Prop 1 allows the district to implement a one-tenth of a cent sales tax and a $60 car-tab fee. Low-income county residents would get a $20 rebate.
A transportation benefit district created by the King County Council is expected to fill a $75 million funding gap for public transportation.
The funding measure is anticipated to generate $130 million in revenue. But King County Metro also will lose $25 million in annual revenue when a $20 vehicle congestion reduction fee approved by the Legislature expires in June, when a reduction in transit services is set to occur. That will have an affect on 28 of the 33 Metro routes in Bellevue, including moving stops further from Bellevue College.
If passed, 40 percent of revenue would go to local road and other transportation projects.
An updated count is to be released by 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Died and gone to Alba
... no one was around and we are still not sure if they do tours of the factory but we came and we saw the home of my favouritest ever chocolate. We headed to the main piazza where they were just packing up from their weekly market so there was quite a few people around. I continue to marvel at the laneways and alleys of cobblestone paths and old brick and stone buildings. Once we found the town centre, there as in most towns and villages in Italy ...
Italy we have arrived
... 59 kms, didn't take long to realise why. It certainly put Brendan and Fifi to the test. There were hairpin bends on narrow roads into the side of the hills with no barriers for protection. It was certainly a slow trip. We stumbled upon melting snow and of course had to stop and collect some for Olivia. We travelled through Cortemilia which is home to the best hazelnuts in the world. Alba is not too far ...

be quite modern but I was wrong.

Carver, George Washington (1864?-1943)
Sexuality While Carver's renown was certainly helpful in raising the profile of Tuskegee and attracting donations to the always underfunded college, administrators worried about potential scandal from another source: the persistent rumors of Carver's homosexuality. Carver apparently considered marriage in 1905, but the identity of the prospective bride is not known. In any event, no engagement took place, and in subsequent years, Carver politely rebuffed all match-making efforts by well-meaning friends. Carver formed deep and often long-lasting friendships with male students, who came to be known as "Carver's boys." He wrote them affectionate letters that were flowery rather than explicit, and so it is not known to what extent--if at all--he acted upon any romantic feelings that he may have had for them. McMurry speculates that "if such feelings did exist, it is doubtful that they were recognized by Carver," but rather "were transmuted into a feeling of spiritual oneness with his friends," and she concludes that "Carver's emotional needs appear to have been met through his religion and his religious friendships." While it may be true that Carver sublimated his sexual feelings for his students, it is unlikely that he was unaware of them and their significance. Such a view attributes a kind of ignorance and naïveté to a man who was very widely read and deeply introspective. McMurry does, however, note that Carver was wont to engage in "not very dignified" horseplay with "his boys," an activity that fueled the suspicion of some of his colleagues that he was homosexual. Carver's habit of giving therapeutic massages--sometimes with a peanut-oil-based product that he had developed--sparked the rumors even more. "Most of his male friends received at least one massage from the professor," writes McMurry. Whether Carver found the opportunity for physical contact with another human being therapeutic for himself as well remains unknown. Tuskegee administrators were no doubt not the only ones made uneasy by the prospect of Carver's homosexuality being exposed. Carver himself likely experienced anxiety in this regard as well. Indeed, his reluctance to take a lead in the political movement for greater civil rights for African Americans may be related to his homosexuality and his fear that it might be revealed were he to assume a high-profile, confrontational position, thereby not only destroying his career but also damaging the movement. This fear, if it did indeed exist, would have been altogether justified, as the experience of later African-American homosexuals who took part in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s attests. Bayard Rustin and James Baldwin, for example, were attacked on the basis of their sexuality, and their political effectiveness thereby limited to a certain extent. Uneasiness about Carver's homosexuality continues to this day. Historian Horace L. Griffin reports that, just a few years ago, while watching a film at the George Washington Carver National Monument, he became curious about "an attractive young man who would occasionally appear with Carver" and who he thought might "be Carver's housemate or possible companion." When he inquired about him, however, the previously voluble park ranger "became visibly uncomfortable with [his] questions about" the young man. The ranger further "admitted that other visitors had raised questions about Carver's sexual orientation."

I received a call from the mediator stating that the other party's attorney has another hearing on the date we agreed upon. I believe it is a stalling technique , being used by the other party's attorney due to things not going the way they expected. Doesn't both parties have to agree on a date? The mediator told me it was changed to another date they didn't ask was I available for that specific date.
Litigation Lawyer
If you can't make it, be up front about it and focus on finding a date on which all parties can sit down and attempt to resolve the disputes. Fundamentally mediation is a voluntary process--no one can MAKE someone else agree to something, or even attend, a particular mediation. Don't go there with "I believe it is a stalling technique" -- people have conflicts that arise all the time and need to cancel appointments, especially lawyers, since it is the court that tells you when the hearing is, and you have to go. Keep your eyes on the prize--in your case, resolving a custody dispute instead of giving up the power to decide it yourself and having the court to decide it for you--and keep working to bring the parties together on a particular date so that it is possible for agreement to be reached.
Not legal advice as I don't practice law in Florida. It's just my two cents on the facts you describe in light of general principles of law. If you need legal advice, please consult a lawyer who holds Florida licensure. That's not me.
Lawsuit / Dispute Attorney
If this is a mediation to a pending lawsuit, then someone should be filing a notice of mediation with the court telling the court that everyone agreed to mediate at a specific time and place. The mediator can file it or either party can file it. Of course, that's no guarantee that things can't change later, but it creates a record; and, the party with the conflict will have to file an amended notice or risk possible sanctions for not appearing at the first agreed time. Next time you have an agreed time to mediate - make sure the mediator sends out the notice or just do it yourself.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
I agree that conflicts do sometimes arise which require the changing of dates for mediation. I have unfortunately seen attorneys misrepresent their schedule in order to delay the inevitable. I would ask the attorney to advise the case number, matter name and the time and date of the alleged hearing. You can then look it up online to determine if they are telling you the truth or not. If you discover that the attorney is not being truthful, I would file a Motion to Compel Mediation.

Title: | The geologic history of the southern Line Islands |
Author: | Haggerty, Janet A |
Date: | 1982 |
Abstract: | The Line Islands chain, a major bathymetric feature in the Pacific Basin, is composed of a linear series of parallel submarine ridges and volcanic edifices capped by atolls. Rocks dredged from the previously unsampled southern portion of the chain--the Caroline Island area--have been analyzed for depositional environment, biostratigraphic age, and diagenetic environment. These rocks contain Late Cretaceous and Tertiary faunas. Drilling on DSDP Legs 17 and 33 revealed that synchronous volcanic edifice building and reef development cook place in Late Cretaceous time over a distance of 1270 km along the chain. Rocks dredged from seamounts near Caroline Island contain volcanic debris and shallow-water shell debris of Late Cretaceous age. This association is evidence for the existence of a reef-bearing volcanic edifices with a minimum age of Late Cretaceous near Caroline Island. With the discovery of these seamounts, the known occurrences of Late Cretaceous, reef-capped, volcanic edifices now extend a distance of 2500 km from Kingman Reef to Caroline Island. Volcanism during middle Eocene time is documented in the southern Line Islands, where Eocene sediments were engulfed and altered by volcanic eruptions. Skeletal debris of shallow-water origin was redeposited in deep-water Paleocene. Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, and Pliocene strata indicating that reef development was perhaps continuous throughout the Tertiary. Stable isotope geochemistry of carbonate cements indicates subsidence of the Line Islands seamounts during post-Eocene time. The synchroneity of Late Cretaceous volcanism along 2500 km of the Line Islands argues against the proposition that a single hotspot of the Hawaiian-Emperor type produced the Line Island chain. Volcanic edifices of Cretaceous age are now known to extend from the Line Islands through the Mid-Pacific Mountains to the Marshall Islands and the western margin of the Pacific Plate from Japan to the Marianas. The occurrence of both Cretaceous and Eocene volcanism in the southern Line Islands indicates similarities between the histories of the Line Islands and the Marshall Islands. |

Daphne Loves Derby Debussie Lyrics
Last updated: 01/19/2007 10:00:00 AM
I've been looking through these eyes
Of black and white for far too long
And now these deepen colors seem so shocking
Bless the cold cold moon
That moves the seas that makes the waves
That made this scene for me to see, be moved
Will my life be long enough
To see the things I want to see?
I believe this world is just too big for me
Every cloud that passes by is another cloud I'll never see
Maybe I just try to hard to understand all of these things
Bless the hands of painters oh
Who have captured melon skies
Starry nights for us to see and feel
For all of time
Will my life be long enough
To see the things I want to see?
I believe this world is just too big for me
This life is just a blink of an eye
A glimpse into the world we were never meant to see
So don't hang on to anything at all
And all the things we have
And all the people we have known
Will fade away so quickly
Into the deep
And memories of love
Will be the only warmth we have in the end

Israel has authorized the construction of 1,200 new homes and 18 schools in the southern Gaza Strip.
It will be one of the largest building projects in Gaza in years.
Israel's Civil Administration made the announcement Tuesday, the AP reported.
The homes will replace some of the 60,000 the United Nations claims were damaged or destroyed during Israel's military offensive against Hamas almost three years ago, as well as others destroyed in earlier operations in 2003 and 2004.
Since Hamas took control of the Strip in 2007, Israel has banned the entry of construction materials including cement, metal and glass, for fear they will be converted to military use.
U.N. Spokesman Adnan Abu Hassna told reporters that he welcomed the announcement, and that the U.N. is awaiting the arrival of thousands of trucks full of construction materials, so the building can begin.
Abu Hassna said the projects are being funded by Japan and Saudi Arabia.
