, over the last three decades. This non-stationary hydrologic behavior was significantly correlated with long-term and interannual changes in growing season length and subsequent vegetation growth. These patterns in vegetation phenology were attributed primarily to minimum temperature regimes, which showed steeper and more consistent increases than temperature maxima. Using a distributed modeling framework, we also found that the long-term non-stationary hydrologic behavior could not be simulated unless full vegetation dynamics, including vegetation phenology and long-term growth, were incorporated into the model. Incorporating seasonal vegetation dynamics also led to the improved simulation in streamflow dynamics, while its effect spread out through the following dormant seasons. Our study indicates that non-stationary hydrologic behavior has been closely mediated by long-term seasonal and structural forest canopy interaction with climate variables rather than directly driven by climatic variables. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding the ecosystem responses to ongoing climate change for predictions of future freshwater regimes.

I've often wondered about the idea of attributing yourself to a group...like the 'neckbeards'. Is this an intentional change of your style/personality, or is it something that your genetics literally push you to that direction. I feel like if somebody were that 'enlightened' they would realize that change needs to happen at all levels, including social, economic and personal...

On January 21 a delegation of the European Commission, headed by Jean-Louis de Brouwer, The Director of Operations of the European Commission Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Office (ECHO). Members of the delegation will assess the humanitarian situation in the country and discuss with the authorities the situation of internally displaced persons.
"For me the opportunity and privilege to meet you and discuss your problems is absolutely crusial. The way you are going to brief us about your living conditions (housing, access to employment) is crusial for us to understand better who you are and also that we could probably reframe our actions in supporting you but only making sure that the Ukranian government is providing you with a support".
Vanno Noupech, the UNHCR Deputy Representative in Ukraine, focused on the unsystematical work of the Ukrainian government towards IDPs. "On the one hand, many legislative acts, the strategy on human rights and other documents have been adopted. But on the other hand, many advocacy issues remain unresolved, there is no single state body that would work with IDPs or the national strategy", – said Mr. Nupek.
Tamila Tasheva, CrimeaSOS coordinator, highlighted the key trends on the situation in the non-government controlled territories of Ukraine. These are, in particular, suppressing of dissent and the general deterioration of the living standards of the population living in these areas.
Liliya Imadinova, IDP from Crimea, confirmed that many Crimean Tatars, who stay currently on the peninsula, are regularly subjected to discrimination, harassment and house searches. This is also proved by the statistics presented in the format of an interactive map of human rights violations in Crimea.
persecution of certain groups, including religious and ethnic minorities and those who support Ukraine.
People from the east and Crimea, who were present at the meeting, noted a bright tendency for discrimination of IDPs. For example, Julia from Donbass suffers for a long time from being denied in housing because of the "donetsk registration". According her opinion, local people are just tired of the problems with IDPs, and this caus the negative attitude of many of them.
lack of public integration programs for IDPs.
A fundamental reason for the majority of these problems is the lack of a unified state strategy both for the occupied territories and on IDPs. This issue will be raised in particular at the future February parliamentary hearings on the status of the rights of IDPs and Ukrainian citizens living in Crimea and ATO zone.
The European delegation will try to bring the received during the meeting information to the political level in meetings with Ukrainian politicians, which will be held in the coming days.
We remind that today in Ukraine there are more than 1.7 million IDPs from Crimea and the east of the country. The main problems are social: the provision of housing and employment. The problems of legal protection are access to administrative services, the exchange and receipt of documents, freedom of movement, access to justice, the electoral law, drawing social benefits and access to education.
BRIGHT GOLDEN JEWELRY HOLDER ORGAIZER WALL:Unique bright golden design，We use the color of gold and sequins to present to you a noble and elegant jewelry holder organizer.

We are calling on every country to act with speed, scale and clear-minded determination.
Although we continue to see the majority of cases in a handful of countries, we are deeply concerned about the increasing number of countries reporting cases, especially those with weaker health systems.
However, this epidemic is a threat for every country, rich and poor. As we have said before, even high-income countries should expect surprises. The solution is aggressive preparedness.
We’re concerned that some countries have either not taken this seriously enough, or have decided there’s nothing they can do.
We are concerned that in some countries the level of political commitment and the actions that demonstrate that commitment do not match the level of the threat we all face.
This is not a time for excuses.
This is a time for pulling out all the stops.
How did the Chinese reorganize their medical response?
First, they moved 50 percent of all medical care online so people didn’t come in. Have you ever tried to reach your doctor on Friday night? Instead, you contacted one online. If you needed prescriptions like insulin or heart medications, they could prescribe and deliver it.
Wait — “whip you through a CT scan”?
Each machine did maybe 200 a day. Five, 10 minutes a scan. Maybe even partial scans. A typical hospital in the West does one or two an hour. And not X-rays; they could come up normal, but a CT would show the “ground-glass opacities” they were looking for.
If you were still a suspect case, you’d get swabbed. But a lot would be told, “You’re not Covid.” People would come in with colds, flu, runny noses. That’s not Covid. If you look at the symptoms, 90 percent have fever, 70 percent have dry coughs, 30 percent have malaise, trouble breathing. Runny noses were only 4 percent.
The swab was for a PCR test, right? How fast could they do that? Until recently, we were sending all of ours to Atlanta.
They got it down to four hours.
The government made it clear: testing is free. And if it was Covid-19, when your insurance ended, the state picked up everything.
