ming Li: Scientist Proposes New Technique to Collect Evidence of Forced Organ Harvesting
June 06, 2017 | By a Falun Gong practitioner from the U.S.A.

A scientist from Missouri proposed a new technique for collecting evidence of forced organ harvesting in China. His ideas were presented and discussed at the 2017 American Transplant Congress annual meeting held in Chicago last month. [see Footnote]

Much indirect evidence collected during the past decade by independent investigators, has indicated that the Chinese government has been harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience, especially Falun Gong practitioners, for profit. What is still needed is direct evidence, which is difficult to obtain in the closely controlled society in China.

Dr. Mike He, an associate professor from the Washington University School of Medicine, proposed a new way to fill the gap in data.

Dr. He's clinical responsibility includes histopathologic followup of transplant patients. After organ transplant surgery, patients usually will be followed up, to see if the transplanted organs are working well, and if there is any rejection.

Quite often, a biopsy is used, which involves sampling the transplanted organ. By biopsy, one or a few tissue fragments or cores will be obtained for microscopic histopathological examination. These biopsied tissue samples are usually formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE).

The FFPE tissue can be stored for a long time. Dr. He, who has training and board certification in molecular & genetic pathology, pointed out that when international patients go to China to receive organs, if the organs come from Falun Gong practitioners, these international patients will carry these organs (from Falun Gong practitioners) back to their home countries.

Every individual's organ and tissue carries the individual's characteristics, esp., the molecular and genetic characteristics. This is the foundation of modern forensic molecular testing. Over the past a few decades, great progress has been made in forensic laboratory testing.

Most investigation work done in the past involves collecting fingerprints at the crime scene, then comparing them to the records of fingerprints in the database. If there is a match, it suggests that the fingerprints collected from the crime scene belong to the individual in the database.

Advances in molecular biology during the past two or three decades has shown that human tissue also carries unique individual molecular characteristics, just like fingerprints. A molecular profile established by 20 genomic loci is currently used in forensic DNA testing in the United States. This molecular profile can be described as a “molecular fingerprint.”

New study of fossil plants shows the emergence of the Pacific Northwest’s temperate forests | #Geology #GeologyPage

The iconic evergreen forests of the Pacific Northwest haven’t always been here.

In a recent study published in the journal Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, and Palaeoecology, scientists describe the emergence of these ecosystems about 51-53 million-years-ago

ming Li: A Call to Conscience: How a Beijing Transplant Doctor's Visit to Israel Was Canceled
November 30, 2018 | By practitioners in Israel
) Earlier this month, a Beijing doctor was disinvited from the Israel-China Hi-Tech Investments Summit, following complaints about his suspected participation in forced organ harvesting from Chinese prisoners of conscience.

Dong Jiahong, a well-known liver transplant specialist and professor at a leading medical school in Beijing, had been invited as part of a large delegation to be a guest of honor at the Israel-China Hi-Tech Investments Summit, a conference held for the seventh consecutive year at the Dan Carmel Hotel in Haifa.

The three-day conference attracts hundreds of investors and decision-makers in Chinese corporations and government agencies with the objective of promoting cooperation between high-tech companies and hospitals in both countries.

Dong is reportedly one of the top physicians involved in China’s thriving organ transplantation industry, in which prisoners of conscience are killed to supply organs for transplants. His name appears in a number of reports by David Matas, David Kilgour, and Ethan Gutmann, who have investigated these state-sanctioned crimes for 14 years. Dong’s name is also mentioned in other reports, such as that by the non-governmental organizations China Organ Harvest Research Center (COHRC) and Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH).

Yaniv Nitzan, director of the Falun Dafa Information Center in Israel, took action upon hearing of Dong's visit. He said, “Conscientiously and morally, it is inconceivable for the State of Israel to host a criminal of this magnitude, whose crimes are on the scale of Nazi crimes. When I was informed of Dong’s visit, I immediately wrote a letter to Professor Jacob (Jay) Lavee, director of the Heart Transplantation Unit at the Sheba Medical Center.”

In 2008, Professor Lavee helped facilitate a law that forbids Israeli insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) to fund organ transplants in China.

“This is an expression of a moral stand, and the State of Israel was the first to enact such a law,” said Nitzan.

Yaniv Nitzan, Director of the Falun Dafa Information Center in Israel

Once Prof. Lavee learned of Dong’s arrival, he published the following post on his Facebook page:

“I naively thought that I succeeded, through the Israeli Organ Transplants Law, to completely sever any connection between Israel and China in the field of organ transplantations. I was shocked this week to discover that the city of Haifa will host the Israel-China Hi-Tech Investments Summit at the end of the month, with the participation of Prof. Dong Jiahong, who undoubtedly has blood on his hands.

“Prof. Jiahong is an expert in liver transplants from Beijing, and has been involved for over 20 years in liver transplants in hundreds of patients. The livers were taken from death row prisoners and prisoners of conscientious, including Falun Gong practitioners, Uighurs, Tibetans and House Christians. These prisoners were executed on demand by the doctors for their organs, sold to the highest bidder.”

ming Li: Denmark: China's Organ Harvesting Crimes Condemned at Doctor's Fair
November 23, 2017 | By Minghui correspondent Shu Hui

) Volunteers for Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH) in Denmark participated in Lægedage 2017 (Doctor's Fair) between November 13 and 17, to inform attendees about the forced organ harvesting in China.

Sponsored by the Organisation of General Practitioners in Denmark (PLO), this event at Bella Center in Copenhagen drew over 4,000 physicians and medical professionals. For the third time, Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH) set up a booth at this event and exposed organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Medical professionals learn about forced organ harvesting in China during Lægedage 2017 (Doctor's Fair) in Copenhagen between 13 and 17, 2017.

Heart Surgeon: This Is Shocking
Because forced organ harvesting is covered up in China, even those who have been there may not know of its existence. One doctor interested in traditional Chinese medicine said she had just come back from China. Surprised to learn about forced organ harvesting in China, she spent a long time reading related materials including graphs and statistics. She said she didn't know before that this is a state-sanctioned crime that has been carried out on a mass scale.

When reading information obtained from phone interviews and independent investigations, she saw a list of hospitals with unidentified organ sources. Pointing at the Armed Police General Hospital, she said, “I met some doctors from this hospital during meetings in China. I can't believe something so vicious went on there.”

David, a doctor who signed a petition calling for an end to the atrocity, said that one of his colleagues was a heart surgeon. “During an international medical conference, my friend met a doctor from China. That doctor said many organ transplants took place in China and surgeries could easily be arranged whenever needed by patients.” David said his colleague found this shocking, since need-based organ transplant could only mean one thing, that is, need-based killing. Based on this, he said he would avoid going to China for medical conferences.

ming Li: Human Harvest” Screened at Taiwan Legislative Yuan—Exposes Human Rights Crisis in China
December 16, 2017 | By Minghui correspondent Xia Jun

) The Peabody Award-winning film Human Harvest was screened at the Taiwan Legislative Yuan last week. Sponsored by the Taiwan International Organ Transplant Association and several lawmakers, a forum on the topic of state-sanctioned organ harvesting in China was held after the screening.

The viewers said they believed that the Taiwanese government should inform the public, and ban “organ trips” to China.

Lawmakers and sponsors at the forum after the screening.

Illegal Organ Sources in China
The documentary describes evidence showing how many organs used in transplant surgeries were forcibly harvested from imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners.

Dr. Ding Kaiting, a representative from the Organ Transplant Association

Dr. Ding Kaiting, a representative from the Organ Transplant Association, pointed out in his speech at the forum, that it takes 113-138 weeks to find a liver that matches a patient in England, the country that has the best and most mature organ donation system.

“With significantly fewer donors, how can the waiting time in China be only two weeks?” Dr. Ding asked, “This suggests that there are illegal sources in China.”

Chu Wanchi, a lawyer from the Organ Transplant Association, called upon the Taiwanese government not to side with the Chinese Communist Party on this issue. She said she applauds the bill passed in 2015 that bans organ tourism trips to China.

“It is the first such bill in Asia,” Chu said, “But some Taiwanese still go to China for organ surgeries. Law enforcement should address this.”

ming Li: Georgetown, Texas: Documentary on Forced Organ Harvesting in China Kindles Heated Response
June 17, 2017 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Texas
) “Texas for Truth,” an organization based in Georgetown, Texas, invited Falun Gong practitioners to present information about the persecution of Falun Gong at its weekly meeting on June 10.

Falun Gong practitioners were invited to a meeting of “Texas for Truth” on June 10, 2017.

Two short documentaries—one an introduction to Falun Gong and the other about the state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting from jailed Falun Gong practitioners in China—were screened.

Appalled to learn of this “unprecedented crime” of state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting, every person in the audience wanted to know more.

Among the questions they asked were: “Why is the Chinese Communist Party persecuting Falun Gong.” “Do any Americans go to China for organ transplants?” and “What has the American government done to stop the crime of forced organ harvesting in China?”

Some of those in attendance had seen the documentary “Free China” at a previous event, but they learned more about the persecution at Saturday’s meeting.

Afterward, they were interested in the printed information the practitioners had brought. Some took copies for other members who couldn't make the event.

The practitioners declined to accept any donations. “We don't take donations. We just hope you will tell more people the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong,” one practitioner said.

Some members of the organization suggested channels and opportunities to clarify the truth to the government and other organizations.

https://www.livescience.com/64505-antarctica-ice-loss.html　showed.

The southern, frozen continent lost an average of 252 gigatons of ice a year to the sea between 2009 and 2017. Between 1979 and 1990, it lost an average of just 40 gigatons per year. That means that ice loss on Antarctica has accelerated by 6.3 times in just four decades, according to new research published yesterday (Jan. 14) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Billy Mays: Not much we can do with pollution powerhouse China ignoring all green Earth regulations and doing as they please.

John Barker: +Billy Mays that's bullshit. China had 78GW of installed capacity by the end of 2016 and installed 45GW in 2016. By way of comparison the USA had 40GW of installed capacity at the end of 2016 and installed 12GW in 2017. fool.com - Why China Is Crushing the U.S. in Solar Energy -- The Motley Fool

2014 Carbon pollution per capita in the USA were 16.49. In China that number was 7.49...and that includes the carbon pollution we've effectively outsourced to China by the United States with manufacturing. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/en.atm.co2e.pc?name_desc=false

It isn't China ignoring the well-being of the planet, it's the United States.
