JERUSALEM, May 2 (Xinhua) -- Traditional farming may have found an ally on the Internet, via an Israeli "cloud-based" software system that enables farmers to get professional information and tips from colleagues worldwide.And IBM is interested in what they have to say.Agriculture Knowledge On-Line (AKOL) says its Internet-based system can aid global agriculture by utilizing the collective knowledge of kibbutzim (communal farms in Israel) and other agricultural experts, to offer small farmers personalized solutions to improve dairy output and crop production, and better prevent droughts.Owned by Kibbutz Bror Hayil in southern Israel, the software house has recently signed a cooperation and development agreement with IBM to manage access and technology issues."What we do here is like a bank of information and IBM provides the special tools for the end users," AKOL's CEO Roni Shani told Xinhua, "and you can do what we call 'agricultural market.'""For example, if someone in Australia needs advice on how to grow their crops better, they can just ask our advice or search through our database to find the best product for the country they 're growing the crops in," Shani said."Let's say someone in India, a small farmer, has a problem with their crop or chickens," Shani explained, noting that "it's usually very expensive and time consuming to get someone to come and check what is wrong."But, for a monthly fee, a basic subscription service enables the end user to access the software database, which allows "the farmer to just look at the pictures and pick the one that will explain what the disease or problem is and offer a solution, and if it is available in their country."AKOL claims about 1,000 customers over the globe."We just started developing it for use outside of the kibbutz with IBM's help," Shani said, "and we are developing it also in other parts of the world, like China. Right now we're cooperating with the Chinese government to help milk producers get the most out of their milking systems."Israel is one of the leading countries in milk production, with each cow yielding around 12,000 liters of milk a year on average. Two Chinese provinces plan to use AKOL's milking control system, in order to better manage their herds and equipment and increase milk production."And this is just the beginning," Shani explained, "because we are also working with other developing countries. This software will help millions of small farmers in rural or impoverished areas, that will be able to get advice and benefit from other farmers' experience on the spot and at a very affordable rate."

BEIJING, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao attended the opening ceremony of the China-EU Year of Youth in Beijing on Wednesday, encouraging young people from China and the EU to build a brighter future for bilateral strategic partnerships.Joining over 500 young people from China and the EU in the Capital Museum in downtown Beijing, Wen said that the year-long youth exchange campaign was the first theme year between China and the EU since the establishment of diplomatic ties, and is also the largest-ever China-EU cultural exchange program."This has revealed that our relations will be more vibrant in the future and full of hopes," he added.China and the EU are in a vital period for deepening cooperation, Wen said, calling on young people from both sides to consider and explore ways to share opportunities, meet challenges and seek common development, which has benefits for China, the EU and the world.Wen hopes that young people from both sides would always be brave in pursuing innovation and the truth. He also encouraged them to learn from each other in a frank and open spirit, in a bid to jointly create a better future for China-EU ties.A video speech from European Commission President Jose Manuel Barosso was aired at the ceremony. He said that the Year of Youth offers an interactive platform for European and Chinese young people to enhance mutual understanding and friendship and also inject vitality to China-EU relations.Premier Wen and Barroso jointly initiated The China-EU Year of Youth during the 12th EU-China summit held in 2009.Along with the opening ceremony in Beijing, Chinese and European youth were immersed in two-day discussions on topics such as culture, education, volunteering, creativity and environmental protection starting on Tuesday."We had excellent discussions on possible cooperation projects, ranging from environmental protection, world heritage to art and intellectual property," said Pierre Arlaud, a member of an EU youth delegation that arrived in Beijing on Monday to participate in the opening ceremony."I can feel there is a strong will from both sides to deepen understanding and forge a stronger partnership," he added.The opening ceremony was the first in a series of exchange activities that will be held throughout the year in China and Europe. The events include cultural seminars, volunteer service conferences, youth summer camps and TV debates.The year-long program was co-hosted by the All-China Youth Federation and the European Commission. The initiative aims to promote intercultural dialogue and strengthen mutual understanding and friendship between young people in China and the EU, as well as encouraging them to support the development of China-EU relations.

BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The price of preventing preterm labor is about to rise drastically in the U.S. next week.A drug for high-risk pregnant women costs about 10 to 20 dollars per injection. Next week, the price will shoot up to 1,500 dollars a dose, according to media reports Wednesday.This means the total cost during a pregnancy could be as much as 30,000 dollars.The massive increase comes after KV Pharmaceutical of St. Louis won an exclusive government license to produce the drug, known as Makena.The drug, a form of progesterone given as a weekly shot, has been made cheaply for years by unlicensed chemists.The March of Dimes and many obstetricians supported the move because it means quality will be more consistent and it will be easier to get, but none of them has anticipated the sharp price hike.Doctors and campaign groups have been caught out by the move, saying that the price hike may deter low-income women from getting the drug, leading to more premature births.

BEIJING, March 29 (Xinhuanet) -- A new study has found that rejection can literally hurt in the same way as physical pain does, according to media reports Tuesday.Researchers found that intense emotional pain, such as feelings of rejection after a breakup of a relationship, can trigger brain activities similar to when people suffer physical pain.The research findings were published in Tuesday's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.The study followed 40 volunteers who experienced unwanted romantic breakups in the past six months, and the researchers analyzed their brain activity during two "painful" situations.The results showed that the two situations, thinking about the loss of their ex-partner and experiencing mild physical pain similar to holding a very hot coffee cup, caused response in the overlapping parts of the brain."This tells us how serious rejection can be sometimes," said study author Edward E. Smith, director of cognitive neuroscience at Columbia University. Smith added. "Our ultimate goal is to see what kind of therapeutic approach might be useful in relieving the pain of rejection."

BEIJING, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Graft remains one of the Chinese people's top concerns, as indicated by online polls from two mainstream media in China prior to the country's annual parliamentary and political advisory sessions.As of 9 p.m. on Thursday, over 54,000 Internet users voiced their concerns over "the fight against corruption and efforts to build a clean government" in an online survey launched by the Xinhua News Agency.Corruption came in at fourth place behind "curbing housing prices," "income distribution" and "control of commodity prices."The poll was launched by Xinhua and was meant to solicit public opinion ahead of the annual sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).In a survey posted on People.com.cn, a website subsidiary of the People's Daily newspaper, "anti-graft" was among the most selected topics following "social security" and "judicial justice."Internet users pinned their hopes on the forthcoming parliamentary and political advisory sessions, which are scheduled to open in early March.They hope that their voices would be heard by the country's lawmakers and political advisors, who would represent them in the two sessions and would take all possible measures to tackle a number of social issues including the fight against corruption."I hope that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) combats graft comprehensively and severely to ensure a Party with a clean work style, a society with justice and assures the Chinese people that they would not be wronged," said an Internet user from Jiangxi province in a forum entitled "voicing my wishes to Premier Wen Jiabao at the 2011 two sessions " on xinhuanet.com.Internet users believe that the spread of corruption in some places had hindered China's economic development, undermined social stability and harmed the relationship between the people and officials.The fight against corruption, therefore, is a significant factor in determining whether or not China can reach its goals outlined in its Twelfth Five-year Program (2011-2015) on National Economic and Social Development, an Internet user wrote."Corruption has affected Chinese people's life through its spread into many social sectors. As the two sessions represent an open platform to reflect the people's will, citizens hope to push forward the cause of anti-corruption through legislation, thus addressing their common concerns." said Ren Jianmin, director of the Anti-corruption and Governance Research Center of Tsinghua University.The CPC has never relaxed its efforts to fight against corruption, experts say.Last year saw four ministerial-level Chinese officials placed under a graft probe or removed from their posts. Among these officials were Zhang Jiameng, former vice chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee in southeast China, and Zhang Jingli, former deputy director of the State Food and Drug Administration.Another 11 ministerial-level officials were sentenced to life imprisonment or other severe punishments in 2010.On February 12 this year, Liu Zhijun, the Chinese Minister of Railways, was removed from his post as the Party chief of the ministry over an alleged "severe violation of discipline," becoming the latest senior official to be investigated in the country's battle against corruption.Experts believe that the downfall of high-ranking officials over corruption charges have clearly shown the determination of the CPC to enforce the Party's discipline, combat corruption and promote a clean work style.On January 10 this year, Chinese president Hu Jintao called for efforts to tackle prominent problems that have seriously harmed people's interests and sparked most public complaints during a plenary session of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Party's anti-graft body.He also pledged to combat graft and punish corrupt officials severely to win the trust of the people.Further, the CPC's drive to erase corruption yielded significant results last year.A total of 5,098 leaders at the county level or above have been punished and 804 officials were referred for prosecution last year, said Gan Yisheng, the deputy secretary of the CCDI, on January 6 this year.Despite the achievements accomplished by the CPC in its fight against corruption, Ren Jianmin believes that the anti-graft situation in China is grave and the task remain arduous.Problems concerning land acquisition and compensation, housing, food and drug safety, environmental protection, work place safety and equal access to education have been reported by the public.To handle these issues, CCDI secretary He Guoqiang urged officials on January 12 to "put people first" and "exercise the state's power for the people" when addressing problems that the public complains about.He, also a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, said that efforts should be enhanced to fight graft in fields that are most vulnerable to corruption and unhealthy practices."The two sessions have a special role to play in China's fight against corruption," said Li Chengyan, a professor at the School of Government in Peking University."Every year, the Party and the government will take effective measures after the two sessions, as a response to social concerns. The people and the media's focus on anti-graft work will push the government to solve relevant problems," he said.According to experts, however, what's more important is to put in place a sound system concerning anti-corruption, promote reform and ensure the implementation of existing measures.
