Clinton, Van Hollen win in Md.
Hillary Clinton won Maryland's 10 electoral votes Tuesday, and Rep. Chris Van Hollen will be the state's next U.S. senator.
Voters stood in long lines in a state where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 2-1. Clinton defeated billionaire Republican candidate Donald Trump, who not even Republican Gov. Larry Hogan supported. Van Hollen defeated Delegate Kathy Szeliga, who is the minority whip in the Maryland House of Delegates.
The number of Democrats statewide cancelled out Trump's stronghold on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland, where he won the April state election primary handily in Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties only days after he held a political rally at Stephen Decatur High School in Berlin, Maryland.
In Wicomico County, Trump had 53.1 percent, while Clinton had 41.6 percent, with all precincts reporting. Also with all precincts reporting in Somerset County, Trump held 57 percent, while Clinton had 39.3 percent. With 19 of 20 precincts reporting in Worcester County, Trump held an edge of 61.6 percent, while Clinton had 33.9 percent.
The state's congressional seats also are on the ballot, with all incumbents seeking re-election.

DELAWARE:Carney wins governor's race
Maryland's elections Administrator Linda Lamone said voter turnout was "extraordinary" in Maryland. The elections board is projecting turnout to be at least 80 percent, she said.
Social services worker Sebiina Odin, 56, an African-American Democrat, said she voted for Hillary Clinton partly because she seems thoughtful and patient.
"She thinks about what she says before it actually comes out of her mouth," Odin said after casting her ballot at an elementary school in Hagerstown.
Maria Welch, 53, said she voted for Trump.
"I like his message on jobs," Welch said at Annapolis Middle School.
Maryland is traditionally a blue state. Democrats have won there in the past six presidential races. George Bush was the last Republican to win Maryland, 28 years ago in 1988.
Van Hollen is a seven-term Democrat. He ran as an experienced lawmaker willing to reach across the political aisle to do important work. Szeliga worked to use that experience against him, casting him as an insider of dysfunctional Washington.
Maryland residents also were voting for the state's eight U.S. House members. All of the incumbents are running for re-election. With heavy turnout, Maryland's House incumbents are expected to be safe. Maryland has seven Democrats and one Republican in the House.
Baltimore will choose a new mayor. State Sen. Cathy Pugh, a Democrat, is running against Republican Alan Walden in the heavily Democratic city.

A short course in epigenomics
Understanding the complex interactions between the environment and the genotype that bring about the phenotype are one of the central objectives but also one of the major challenges in evolutionary biology. Things have been further complicated by the idea that heritable changes in reaction norms cannot only be produced by genetic variations, but that a certain part might be due to epigenetic variants. A lively scientific debate has emerged around the question whether epigenetic changes (alone) can have any importance in evolutionary processes. We argue that both, and potentially other heritable elements, are necessary to convey information through time.
Genome and epigenome, the latter we will define tentatively as information unit that allows for heritable changes in gene function that is not based on changes of the DNA sequence, are tightly interrelated and interdependent. Neither genomes nor epigenomes can exist alone and they necessarily interact with each other as elements of an inheritance system. We define here a system as a collection of units (elements) that are linked and that influence each other through action and feedback (interactions), and that bring about over time observable effects (process). Systems biology can be used as guide to identify interactions, interacting elements, strength of interaction, and the time course of interaction events in the generation of phenotypes. For operational reason, natural systems will need to be simplified, and systems biology allows for selecting elements and interactions that will have major effects from those that have minor.
Through interaction with environmental cues this inheritance system produces over time, in a developmental process phenotypes that can be selected for. In this systems approach to inheritance, elements such as genome or epigenome can only be operationally defined. It is then not only their relative importance but also the strength of reciprocal interaction that drives the production of phenotypes. The art of the experimenter will be to find the best operational definition of all elements of the inheritance system at identical levels of resolution either through molecular approaches or pedigree studies, and to evaluate their relative contributions to phenotypic variance. While this can now be done in many biological systems, major challenges remain to precisely characterize the interactions between genome and epigenome. But once this will be done, rational concepts can be developed and used to manipulate the inheritance system.
The lecture will give an introduction into the science of epigenetics, briefly explain the molecular nature of the bearers of epigenetic information (DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNA, and the topography of the interphase nucleus), and introduce how next-generation sequencing based approaches can be used to describe the epigenotype and its relation to gene expression. Practical classes will use command-line free bioinformatics to analyse public epigenomics and transcriptomics datasets using the Galaxy interface.

It's National Read Across America Day!
Hi Friends,
March 2nd is National Read Across America Day, in celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday! Today thousands of schools, libraries and
community centers around the country are bringing kids and teens together to celebrate reading, and Milwaukee is no exception! Connor Morris, who served as an AmeriCorps VISTA with us last year, is now a Milwaukee Public Schools teacher at Keefe Ave. He teaches 7th grade, and wanted to share some photos from Keefe today.
As a K-8 school, Keefe Ave. took advantage of their wide age range to celebrate Read Across America Day. In these photos, you can see Mr. Morris' 7th grade students, along with Keefe's 8th graders, paired up with a 2nd grade reading buddy to read through a Dr. Seuss book together.
These sweet photos make my heart happy. They show our beautiful students in their natural state; hungry to learn, eager to succeed and ready to lead. We talk a lot about gratitude for our partners that make up Milwaukee Succeeds, but I'd like to take a moment today to thank the young people in our city that inspire us to go to work every day. Their success is our success.
I hope you all get a chance to read a book with a young person today, or at least enjoy reading to yourself. As Dr. Seuss once said, "You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book."
Happy reading,

I am delighted to share with you my TEDx talk on Reclaiming the Feminine. I spoke about my understanding and experience of "the Feminine", and why I believe that the most important thing we can do today for our individual and collective sake is to reclaim that energy and power in our lives, whether we are women or men.
A conversation with Ziada and Mary Ann about The Heart of the Labyrinth, and my reflections connecting our abuse of the planet with our discomfort with feminine values, how the book was written and what is next for me as an author and woman passionate about creating change in the world.
The Sacred Feminine in our Lives – online conversation
What is the sacred feminine? How is is different from talking about women, or from notions of feminism? And why is the sacred feminine relevant to our lives today?
In this online conversation, I explore these questions and share my reflections on how to cultivate our relationship to the sacred feminine and how to find inner and outer balance.
You can listen to the audio file here:
If you're curious about why I wrote The Heart of the Labyrinth, what parts are my own story, what parts are fiction, and my experience as a first-time writer… I reveal everything in this lovely conversation with Lucy Pearce from Womancraft Publishing:
In Conversation with Paulo Coelho, in Davos, Switzerland
The Heart of the Labyrinth received a warm welcome at the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, perfectly adding another voice to the experiential arts installations, inviting participants to bring their whole selves – body and mind, heart and soul – to the challenges debated throughout the week. Paulo Coelho's wonderful introduction and moderation of the discussion added the final spark!

Painting a New World – Peindre un Nouveau Monde (PNMW) is a non-profit organization founded in 2008 by Agnes and Andre Chatelain.
We believe that art has the power to create positive change for the benefit and sustainability of communities locally and in developing countries.
The organization focuses mainly on supporting artists in Africa and Haiti through a mural art program. The murals must be appropriate to the context of the community and present a socially conscious message. Murals are painted on school walls and/or community centers by local artists.
The aim is to create positive change by employing local artists and educating communities about their environment and future.
The mural project is funded by the founders of PNMW, Agnes and Andre, through the sales of their original artworks.
PNMW has funded 22 murals in Kenya and successfully implemented the program in Chad where we now have 7 murals in different schools of N'Djamena and another one at the school Notre-Dame de Paillant in Haiti.

How Can a Realtor Build a Market Leader Position Today?
Hundreds of thousands of Realtors are faced with big challenges in creating connections, visibility, trust and impact, along with identifying and nurturing leads. Too many are relying on paid lead services, ad campaigns, and not taking the bull by the horns. And aren't we still in a bull market?

Utica shale play hits milestone with 300 producing wells
Columbus Business First
The Utica shale region now has 300 producing oil and gas wells, another milestone for the young play. The latest update from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources shows 300 active wells out of 707 wells drilled. There are 38 rigs and 1,074 permits issued for horizontal drilling, the report says. The play cleared 1,000 permits in December. Last week there were 14 new permits issued, mostly to Chesapeake Energy Corp. (NYSE: CHK) and in Harrison County, which holds 172 well permits.
Canadian oil companies look to Ohio manufacturers
Kent State WKSU Public Radio
There were a lot of jokes about the weather Wednesday when about 90 Ohio business officials met with representatives of a half dozen Canadian oil companies. The business-to-business forum was organized so that Ohio manufacturers might win some contracts with the companies extracting oil from northern Alberta tar sands. But as WKSU's Mark Urycki reports, the Canadians also see some political expedience in the collaboration. With all the oil and gas production ramping up in Ohio's Utica shale, local companies don't usually think about making pipes or equipment for Alberta. But Alberta envoy David Manning says they are interested in working with Ohio companies. "This is a very sophisticated technology-driven industrial base. The companies here know how to work in adverse climates. You have a grasp of energy issues – the Utica shale is another good example. You have a lot of energy infrastructure."
Utica shale's all the rage, but Ohio still pales in comparison to other states
Columbus Business First
There's been palpable excitement in Ohio since 2011, when oil and gas companies began drilling into the Utica shale formation. Sitting thousands of feet beneath eastern Ohio's soil, the Utica has been touted by politicians and industry powers for its economic potential in an industrial state battered by the recession. A region lacking jobs would have more than it knew what to do with. Ohio manufacturers could run their factories on inexpensive natural gas, and residents could heat their homes for less. Municipalities, school districts and the state would collect more tax revenue. And Ohio would help the nation get …
Corporate-funded program is training black men for the oil and gas industry
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
There were eight black men in the North Side classroom learning about the Marcellus Shale boom, but most of them didn't believe the oil and gas industry was going to let them be a part of it. That was in 2012. At the first class of the Hill District-based Mentors Community Wealth Building Initiative — which was launched with the goal of certifying "urban oil and gas thought leaders" — students were skeptics, according to Pittsburgh City Councilman Daniel Lavelle, who had dropped in to watch. "They literally said, 'These white boys will never let us make any money,' " Mr. Lavelle recalled. As that first six-week course ended and another got underway, he began to get letters from graduates saying they indeed had been hired. And they were making money, or building wealth, as the program's name says. Graduates returned to speak to newer classes. "One came back and said, 'They're actually paying the same [as the other workers],' " said Kris Kirk, who founded the nonprofit Mentors program.

GreenHunter Awaits OK of West Virginia Treatment Facility as Appalachian Water Use Rises
NGI's Shale Daily
GreenHunter Water LLC's $1.7 million water treatment, recycling and condensate handling logistics terminal in Wheeling, WV, remains in limbo nearly one year after the company announced the project. Announced last March as a "first-of-its-kind" facility to serve producers throughout the Appalachian Basin, GreenHunter is awaiting approval from the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) to ship bulk water on inland waterways (see Shale Daily, Oct. 31, 2013). It also continues to work with West Virginia authorities on a permitting snag after the state's Division of Highways (DOH) denied a road-use permit last August. But that's not stopping the company's aggressive focus in the basin, said John Jack, vice president in Appalachia. Since it first moved into the region in 2011 with the acquisition of a water service property in West Virginia, the company has grown to become the largest brine water disposal business there.
Northeast's Record Natural Gas Prices Due to Pipeline Dearth
Bloomberg Businessweek
Temperatures in New York City hit 7F on Jan. 22, a day after the price to deliver natural gas into the city spiked to a record $123 per thousand cubic feet on the spot market. A hundred miles away in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale, the biggest natural gas field in the U.S., the same amount of gas costs 35 times less. A lack of pipelines is depriving consumers of the full benefits of low-cost energy. Although the wells in Pennsylvania are practically in the backyard of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states, pipeline companies are still working to connect the gas fields to the utility pipes beneath towns and cities. Until they do, a lot of gas will continue to get pumped more than 1,000 miles from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast. The problem is particularly severe in New England, where power plants' use of natural gas has jumped from 30 percent of electricity produced to 52 percent since 2001, with not a single new pipeline built. As a result, electricity prices are soaring in the region. That's not unusual for this time of year, but the price spikes are getting sharper and more frequent, says Steven Clarke, assistant secretary for energy in Massachusetts. "They've probably grown about tenfold," he says.
Natural Gas: Will Low Inventory And Low Rig Counts Balance The Market?
Seeking Alpha
Natural gas inventories are very low and going lower. Natural gas rig counts also are near record lows. Near term gas prices are way up, as is the gas ETF (UNG) and some gassy E&P equities are rising somewhat. Let's look at these two factors and see what they indicate beyond the front month. Since abnormal cold weather began to dominate North America in early November, natural gas inventories have plummeted by a record amount. Price spikes and volatility have increased as cold patterns and severe weather threaten to push inventories to operational minimums by the end of heating season in late March. Using current weather forecasts, and best estimates of supply and demand beyond mid-February, my projection for end-of-season inventory is currently about 1 Trillion Cubic Feet. That's 700 BCF below last year, and well below the five year range:
How America's Fracking Boom Helps to Boost Treasuries Demand
Bloomberg Businessweek
America's shale boom is providing an unintended benefit to U.S. government bonds. With the U.S. economy relying less on oil and gas imports than at any time in two decades, energy expenses for Americans have fallen and cut into inflation more than any other living cost in the past year, according to data compiled by the Labor Department. Economists say consumer prices will rise less than 2 percent for a second straight year in 2014, the first time that's happened during an expansion in a half-century. Slowing inflation, which increases the purchasing power of fixed-rate payments, would give support to Treasuries after the Federal Reserve's plan to curtail its unprecedented bond buying ignited their first annual losses since 2009. Ten-year notes yielded 1.76 percent last month after deducting inflation, close to the highest since 2011. Spending fewer dollars on foreign oil also means that any gain in crude prices no longer leads to a weaker greenback, upending a decade-long relationship that may strengthen the value of U.S. assets.
New Coalition Goes to Bat for Natural-Gas Exports
National Journal
Oil and natural gas industry stakeholders and pro-business groups have launched a new coalition to lobby for expanded liquefied-natural-gas exports. The coalition, which has taken the name "Our Energy Moment," officially debuted on Wednesday and is made up of a number of constituent members, including regional chambers of commerce, and oil and natural-gas boosters such as the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association, Sempra LNG, and the South Texas Energy and Economic Roundtable. Debate over LNG exports has flared up on in the nation's capital in recent months, with supporters of increased exports saying that an unrestricted flow of natural gas abroad will bolster the domestic economy. Opponents of expanded export argue that a rise in LNG shipments headed for global markets will prompt a surge in natural-gas prices at home. Charles Ebinger, director of the energy-security initiative at the Brookings Institution, lauded the coalition.
Low Natural Gas Storage Levels Spiral Still Lower
A series of winter storms and prolonged periods of extreme cold across large parts of the United States has resulted in record high natural gas demand and close to record low storage supplies. Last week, natural gas in storage fell by 262 billion cubic feet (Bcf) from the previous week to a total of 1,923 Bcf as of last Friday, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Storage supplies were 778 Bcf below last year's level and 556 Bcf below the 5-year average of 2,479 Bcf. At 1,923 Bcf, total gas in storage is outside the 5-year historical range altogether. In January, domestic natural-gas demand reached a record high of average 102 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), according to Bentek Energy, an energy-analytic firm owned by McGraw-Hill.
Unleash German shale to halt gas output decline, industry pleads
Germany's gas industry says it needs shale to halt a sharp decline in domestic output, but behind its pleas lies private acknowledgement that environmental and political opposition is just too strong. Frustration is compounded by Germany's lead in fracking technology, which it has been quietly using for over 50 years. At stake is the competitiveness of German industry – faced with rising energy costs, the opposite of shale-driven competition in the United States, shale proponents say. "Currently, there is a decline in domestic production…a major share of planned investments in our industry is stymied politically," said Hartmut Pick, spokesman for the WEG oil and gas industry group that produces domestic gas worth 4 to 5 billion euros ($5.4-6.8) a year. "If this trend is not countered, it will have negative consequences for jobs, mining royalties and the basis of service industries," he said.

Davies, Pwlllheli,, sec rotary of the British Federation of Healtih and Holiday Resorts, wrote stating that if Brecon's rateablo value was under -tlo,ooo tilt- fee 1:3 3s an- nually, and £Ô 5s if over £10,000 and under £;)(J,OOO. The number of towns, affiliated was now tiO, and he trusted tbe Chamber would decide to join. Mr Adcock said the object of the Federa- tion was that all towns oaterin,g for visitors should co-operate, in order to get improved railway service, longer holiday season, and a I so, to get a Bill passed through Parliament authorising; Councils to levy a Id rate for the purpose of advertising. Whether the Chamber was the body to take it up he did not know. In most towns the Council seem- ed to be the moving body. Builth and Llan- drmdod had joined, and the matter should be thoroughly considered. Mr Gwilym Jones said the rateable value of Brecon was £ '24,000, and Mr David Mor- gan said that if Brecon did not have wells it had the finest scenery in the world. (Hear, hear. ) After discussion, Mr Thomas Jones moved and Mr John Hando seconded that Mr Sid- ney Robinson, M.P., be asked to support the Health Resorts Advertising Bill now before Parliament, and the questimi. of joining the Federation was deferred, the President re- marking that the Chamber had spent money in the past on advertising, which had eon- siderably depleted their funds, and they hesitated to spend more money when the whole town derived the benefit.

The benefit is to be the mother's, whether payable in re- spect of her husband's or his own insurance, and committees had to administer it in the interest of the niot-ber amd child in cash or otherwise-, as they thought fit. Another point was that instead of being entitled as formerly to any sickness or disablement bene- fit for the period of four weeks after confine- ment, an insured married woman employed contributor was entitled to receive an ad- ditional maternity benefit. Amounts payable to the doctors on the paned. for the quarter ending January 12th, and to the chemists, and several trade aoc- oounts, were ordered to be paid. The doctors received kl,406, with an additional £ 366 (drug money for the year to those who dis- pensed) and the checaiists E236 for the quar- ter.

I LIVE STOCK COMMITTEE. The Ystradgynlais Bull Fight." INSPECTORS OPINION. At the BreemL-,him Live Stock Committee held at the Shire Hall, Breoon, on Tuesday. Mr Owen Price presided. The Inspector (Mr D. D. W illiams) said they had two applications for dhire horse j premiums, from the Breoon Shire Horse Faxmers' Society and the West Brecon Heavy Horse Society. Replying to the Chairman, the Inspector said that Breconshire was not entitled to more than one horse, but if another county should decide not to take it up there was no reason why they should not have another horse. It was stated that the reason the deputa- tion had delayed seeing the horses was be- cause there was a possibility of two prem- iums being granted.—It was decided to. ask the deputation to make the inspection at the earliest possible opportunity- Bull Premiums. Applications for bull premiums, were recei- ved from the Vale of Honddu Society, Hay aiM district, Llanwrthwl, Erwood, Ystrad- gynlais, TaJyllyn (two bulls), Garth and dis- trict individual premiums were asked for by Mr W. T. Isaac, Castle Farm, Brecon, and Mr Thomas Evans, Bailygleision, Tre- castle; and Erwood made an application for a boar premium. The Chairman read a letter from Col. Gough, Ystradgynlais, who stated there seem- ed to be a misunderstanding about "this bull. Whenever the Ystradgynlais Bull Sociotv agreed he was ready to give a Here- ford bull if the committee gave a grant for a Shorthorn bull. T _1n..L.L -nt- ine chairman 1 ajn very .L<1U mai, UCH. ters have smoothed down, although it looked rather black at one time.—"On the motion of Mr E. F. Cockcroft, seconded by Mr J. L. Davies, the applications were granted. I The Ystradgynlais Differences. I I 1. Mr David Williams said they nao. got a lISt of 26 names from Ystradgynlais and another list of 16, but the list of 16 did not come from the Bull Society. He asked the com- mittee to support the Bull Süciety-the "26" not the 16." There were only a few fields between the places where the two parties wanted the bull to be kept, and Pensarn was more central than Pengof. Ahc 16" repre- santed the Sheep Dog Triads Committoe and the "26" was the Bull Society. (Laughter.) The Inspector said there had been encmgjh bother over this Ystradgyaiajs affair, and enough dirty linen washed both in public and in privat"lauglLter),so he hoped the com- mittee would do one thing or another. There were two distinct parties, and they were on very bitter terms one with the other. It was a disgrace to the district. He took the trouble to go down there, take evidence on the spot, and see if the parties coilld not come to terms. Mr D. Lewis Price asked him to come down and address a public meet- ing. He did so, and the meeting was unan- imous. A charge had been made that they were "boys," but this was not true, and it was unanimously decided to get a Sthorthom i buU- He was simply dealing with this appli- cation, signed by Mr Jones Williams (secre- tary), in regard to which he took evidence, and lie objected to another application being sent in at the last moment. The other ap- plication was out of court. Mr David Williams: The only society that has been formed is the 26. The Inspector: It has not been submitted to me, and it is out of court. Mr D. Williams: More than half of the committee of 16 are under 21 years of age. The preacher, Rev. Leyslion Griffiths, is not one of the members of the Sheep Dog Triais Committee. Mr Williams added that his son also had been under the Inspector at Aberys- twyth, but he had nothing against the In- spOC"t.or-" Don't you think that any of you," he obærved. Mr Cookcroft: I can't follow it! (Laugh- ter.) The Inspector: It is a case of two distinct parties. (More laughter.) On the motion of Mr John Smith, it was decided to accept the society of "16," and it was understood that Col. Gough would pro- vide the Hereford bull. Mr David Williams: That is not the Bull Society. (Laughter.) Ail the applications were granted, and it was resolved to defer the granting of the three extra bull premiums and tho two boar premiums until the next meeting. j

Camp for Brecon
Camp for Brecon ? COUNCILLOR W. MORGAN'S VIEWS. At the Brecon Chamber of1 Trade on Tues- day,, Mr W. Morgan raised the question of a permanent camp for Brecon, stating tha.t one of the stumbling blocks were the, farmers. This year there had been a dif- ficulty in fixing Territorial. camps, and he knew that communications had been made to persons in the district about different posi- tions for the purpose of camping ground and range, and if the Chamber took the matter up seriously, through Mr Sidney Robinson, M.P., and tlhe War Office, they would very soon get a camping ground. He (Mr Morgan) knew of two or three sites, and there would be no difficulty with the owner. (Hear, hear.) It was decided that the matter be taken up, and would be considered by a committee.

I Llanfaes Wesleyan Chapel I
I Llanfaes Wesleyan Chapel. I SUCCESSFUL MISSION BY MR JAS. I HEYWOOD. Mr James Hey wood, of Knighton, con- cluded on Monday last a very successful mis- sion in connection with the Uianfaes Wes- leyan Church. Supported by a loyal band of workers, services have been held each even- ing with encouraging results. The earnest addresses of the missioner and his passion- ate appeals will long be remembered by those who were privileged to hear them. Al- though Mr Heywood agreed in the first instance to conduct a fortnight's mission, he consented in response to a pressing appeal to continue the' services for a further week, and the results have proved the wisdom of this course. In open-air work Mr Heywood showed himself to be one who spared no effort, and the striking success of tlie mis- sion is undoubtedly due' to his personal work in visitation. The conduct of the services have been solely in Mr Heywood's hands, but lie has been supported by the Rev. T. A. Simpsonv the resident Wesleya-n minister, Mr G. C. Nmt. Mr Isaac Bate, and others, including many members of Lion-street Chaipel. On Monday evening the workers and converts met at tea, at the invitation of Mr Jas. Morgan, and at the united service the chapel was filled to over. flowing. Cordial thanks were expressed to Mr organ, and the Rev. T. A. Simpson in- dicated that steps would be taken to con- tinue the work on definite lines.

Thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are set to protest at the border fence with Israel in a mass rally that comes just hours after one man was shot dead by Israeli forces.
Mohammed Saad, 21, died after being injured during skirmishes overnight at a protest camp near to the barrier inside the Palestinian enclave, according to a Sky News source in Gaza.
The Gaza health ministry said he was shot dead. The Israeli military has yet to comment on the fatality.
A spokesman for the Israeli Defence Force said troops responded to two outbursts of rioting by the border on Friday afternoon and early evening when protesters threw fire bombs and burning tyres towards Israel.
Later in the night an Israeli tank fired at a Hamas position in northern Gaza.
Egyptian mediators have been working to defuse tensions between Israel and the militant group Hamas that controls Gaza after two-days of rocket fire and airstrikes earlier this week.
The success or failure of these efforts could determine whether the protests are contained or there is a return to a more serious confrontation just days before an Israeli general election.
People are gathering along the border for the demonstration, which marks one year since the start of weekly protests in Gaza that have left almost 200 Palestinians dead, killed by Israeli forces, and almost 30,000 injured, including around 7,000 by gunfire, according to Palestinian medics and United Nations figures.
Israel says it shoots at protesters when they try to cut through the 30-mile border fence, threatening Israeli families that live in communities a few hundred metres away.
But UN investigators said last week the country may be guilty of war crimes for using excessive force.
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said live rounds are used as a last resort after verbal warnings, tear gas and other signals have failed.
Hamas and Israel: A history of violence
In the last decade or so, Israeli forces have launched a series of major military operations against the Gaza strip.
He said Israel is expecting violent elements within today's protest to use the same kind of weapons they have deployed over the past 12 months. Protesters have used rocks and burning tyres. Hamas militants also have the ability to fire rockets, missiles and explosive devices such as grenades attached to balloons and kites.
"We still don't know exactly how many rioters and how violent they will be. Those two indicative factors… will eventually determine the outcome [of the protests]," the spokesman said.
"Our intentions are very clear. We are simply here defending our civilians."
Protest organisers have called for one million Palestinians to take part, but even a turnout of tens of thousands will increase the chances of a confrontation.
Some 8,000 Israeli troops - double the normal number - backed by tanks, artillery, drones and war planes, are massed at the border in a show of strength to deter Hamas and members of a second militant group called Islamic Jihad from trying to break through.
Overnight an Israeli tank fired at a Hamas militant post in the north of the Palestinian enclave after explosive devices were thrown towards Israel during the evening, the Israeli Defence Force said in a statement.
Ten Palestinians were shot and injured by Israeli troops at the border on Friday, according to Gaza medical officials quoted by the Reuters news agency. The Sky News source said Mr Saad, who later died, was among these casualties.
The Palestinian protest on 30 March last year was called the "Great March of Return", with demonstrators then and on every subsequent Friday demanding the right to return to land Palestinians fled or were forced to leave during the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
Protesters are also calling for a lifting of a blockade imposed on Gaza by Israel and Egypt for more than a decade. Restrictions on the flow of goods and people in and out of the territory have had a devastating effect on the economy, according to aid agencies.
The difficult conditions have been compounded after President Donald Trump, a strong supporter of Israel, decided to stop all US aid to Palestinians living in Gaza, home to more than two million people.
More than half of the population is reliant on United Nations' food aid, some 50% of people are unemployed, clean water is difficult to access and electricity patchy.
UNRWA, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, issued a report on Friday saying the number of Gazans wounded during the border protests over the last 12 months had "brought an already strained health system to the brink of collapse."
Facts and Figures about Gaza
:: There are around 2.1 million people in the Palestinian enclave
:: Some 42% of the population is under the age of 15, making it one of the youngest populations in the world
:: 96% of water is unsuitable to drink. Most of the population only have access to drinking water once every two days
:: The poverty rate is about 38%, according to UN figures. Other estimates put it as high as 65%
:: Electricity supply in Gaza is typically on for five hours, off for 12
:: 35% of farmland in Gaza and 85% of its fishing water are completely or partially inaccessible because of Israeli restrictions, according to UN data
Jamie McGoldrick, the UN humanitarian coordinator in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and East Jerusalem, appealed for both sides to take efforts to halt further bloodshed.
Efforts by Egypt, which also shares a border with Gaza, to mediate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas include trying to find an agreement that would see an easing of the blockade by Israel in return for a Palestinian commitment to stop the rockets.
There are indications, however, that Hamas does not have complete control over what is fired out of its territory, with the potential for internal disagreements within the group to trigger rogue elements setting off rockets.
For example, it appears that a rocket that struck deep inside Israeli territory on Monday - hitting a house, wounding seven Israelis and sparking a new round of clashes - was either fired from Gaza by mistake or because of a technical failure.
Islamic Jihad - thought to have more rockets than Hamas - is also involved in the provocations.
A total of some 10,000 rockets are thought to be stockpiled in Gaza, with suspicions that Iran, Israel's arch enemy, is involved in helping to provide money and know-how to militant groups in the territory. There are thought to be some 40,000 armed militants in Gaza.
Israel and Hamas fought three wars from 2007-2014 and have come close to all-out conflict several times since.
The Israeli foreign ministry said 1,233 rockets had been fired from Gaza into Israel in the past year, 94 explosive devices triggered and 8,000 acres of Israeli land set on fire.

The first few days on the job can be stressful for not only a new hire, but for everyone involved in the introduction and onboarding process. Using Workast can help make the new hire process as seamless as possible.
Creating a new hire template
- As the process for new hires tends to be repetitive, we recommend creating a new hire template. You can learn how to create a template here.
- Rename the Open Tasks list in the template to your onboarding task heading. Add additional lists to help organize the tasks, and to help your new hire feel less overwhelmed.
Adding your onboarding tasks
- Now's the time to create your onboarding tasks. Obviously you can't assign tasks to team members that you haven't hired yet, but you can add task followers such as department heads and HR personnel who would be likely to assist your new hire.
- Adding descriptions when you create the tasks will help save time later and will save your new hire from asking certain questions later. Details like "Return benefits forms to Diane in HR, her office is on the third floor across from the elevator" may seem unnecessary, but they are actually really helpful.
- Use tags to help label your tasks. You can use labels such as "Day 1," Day 2," etc., as well as other labels such as "High Priority."
- Break down tasks with several steps using subtasks.
Importing your template
- After you've hired your new employee and you're ready for the tasks to go live, import your template into a space.
- Add due dates and assignees once the tasks are live. (You could also add the assignees while creating the template.)
Having an onboarding template prepared and ready to go will help start your new employee on the road to success with your team, and with Workast.
