Energy and Water Resources
Background info
The past few years have seen unprecented growth in global population levels. The growth in population, associated expansion of economies of many nations as they move to industrial levels, coupled with advances in science and technology has continued to fuel dramatic increases in global demand for water and energy resources. The intensified demand has led to increased competition for resources, in some instances leaidng to instabiltiy and civil conflict between communities and nations. Use of fossil fuels has also contributed to adverse changes in climate across the globe. Recent advances in tecnology seem to promise a hope of developing inventions that will bering in efficiency in utilisation of the available, through scarce resources, and even definition of newer forms of energy. It is however clear that technology alone will not sufficiently address the gap between current and future demand and supply levels of water and energy resources. Changes in livelihoods are needed to supplement whatever benefit can be gained through developement of new technologies.
This page will provide links to information resources that will help mankind to understand better the issues related to exploitation and conservation of water and energy resources in Africa and other developing countries. Any relevant material is welcome for publication.

My daughter was just telling me about that. Sad. Saw Bob with Fleetwood Mac in late 72' when they opened for Deep Purple.
She also told me that Jeff Carlisi, former guitarist of 38 Special had a heart attack this past Tuesday and if all goes well, he goes home on Monday. Jeff is my daughter's boss so that's how I know on that one.

According to Us Weekly, The Voice coach is pregnant with her second child. The singer also has a 6-year son with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman.
The newly-expectant parents have been together for almost three years and just announced their engagement on Twitter on Valentine's Day. They met on the set of her 2010 film Burlesque.
X-Tina, or should we say Mama-Tina, took season four off from The Voice to spend more time with her family and to focus on her music career. She's also taking off season six of the show.
We hate to be the ones to ask but we're dying to know if you're thinking what we're thinking...Did he propose because she's pregnant? Eh, either way, congrats.

I'm so proud of both of my boys for having the courage to stand up in front of the congregation and do a speech. Thomas has taught this class the last 7 years and sadly this will be his last. He plans to begin helping with the middle school and high school youth groups. Carter was so excited to have some of his friends to participate with him! Love how these guys have a relationship not only through sports or school, but through their faith in God.

Upon leaving the morning session of the Second Annual Community Challenge: Meeting the Needs of Seniors, Providers and Caregivers on March 28, I reflected on the outstanding, informative and inspiring presentations to nearly 150 participants. It was truly a gift to the community by the co-sponsors La Plata County Senior Services, Mercy Regional Medical Center, Alpine Hospice, La Plata Council on Aging and the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work.
As I sat down for lunch, I picked up that days Durango Herald and saw the front page article, Blame it on active lifestyle. It said, Seniors, theres a downside to living longer: paying more to ski. Well, I had just learned that there are many other downsides to living longer! Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort will increase its season ski pass prices for seniors.
I am astounded by the contrast between supportive pro-senior organizations in Durango and DMR. Purgatory chooses to diminish and reduce favorable rate structures for season passes for the most senior age group (70 years and older). The season ski passes prices were increased from $149 to $399 (268 percent). I have been a Golden season ski pass (age 70 or older) holder for two years, and my new pass will increase $250. Because of this huge increase, I very likely will lose this therapeutic outlet.
Current silver pass holders (ages 62-64) can be grandfathered into the senior price structure and pay only $50 more. It appears to me that there is a $200 penalty for those older than 70. This age discrimination is shocking and an affront to senior skiers.
I am very disappointed and surprised in DMRs decision to withdraw a wonderful benefit to the most senior population in order to make a profit. This is certainly not senior-friendly.

Informal sector
"I have taken numbers of trainings. This training is different to any other ToTs (Training of Trainers). This ToT will definitely help to deliver effective training for the illiterate people also" – Sarswati Limbu, a participant of the HITT Learning Approach ToT, expressed her view during the ToT closing ceremony.
The impact of Travel and Tourism on Nepal's economy, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, was the direct contribution of 412 500 jobs and 4% of GDP in 2011. According to the International Labour Organisation, over 70% of the economically active population is involved in the informal economy. While these statistics are not directly connected, they would suggest that the market for HITT's work in Nepal in large.
While the advantages of working in the informal economy are often well-publicised – avoiding tax etc – there are also numerous downsides. Informal workers are often subjected to extremely heavy workloads, unsociable hours, 'attached' labour, unhealthy conditions, lack of skills and inability to access training, lack of formal written contracts that provide accountability, harassment and discrimination based on gender, caste or locality, and fragile job security.
HITT aims to equip informal workers to capitalize on tourism opportunities after benefitting from practical, market-oriented training and strengthen links with the formal tourism sector. In this way, many of the disadvantages of being employed in the informal sector can be eradicated and workers can enjoy a fairer system of work that offers opportunities rather than restrictions and exploitation. As displayed by Sarswati's words, HITT's Learning Approach training model is not limited in effectiveness to literate workers, but will be much more widely applicable.
The five occupations focused on by the HITT programme – assistant cook, waiter, housekeepers, trekking guides, and homestay/lodge operators – are occupations that are usually found in the informal sector and as such are in many ways outside of government economic control. By enacting high quality vocational training schemes for these occupations, the effects will be felt directly by the beneficiaries trained, by future beneficiaries trained by partner organisations as part of a more long-term work, and through a multiplier effect as these beneficiaries spend their disposable income in the local economy.

The suspense is finally over with certification of election results Monday, Nov. 26, in several key San Jacinto Valley races.
For the big picture story, read my colleague Jeff Horseman's story here.
The valley added four more women to the elected officials ranks, and in the case of three of them, their wins also are examples of why every vote counts.
Crystal Ruiz, elected to the San Jacinto City Council, Rose Salgado elected to the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District board and Bonnie Wright elected to the Hemet City Council, also were behind in early vote tallies from the registrar's office but steadily gained post election as more ballots were counted.
Ruiz will be the first woman to serve on the San Jacinto council since Chris Carlson did not seek reelection in 2008. Salgado will be the first woman on Valley-Wide's board since Gisela Gosch decided not to seek reelection to the board in 2006.
With this election, the Hemet council will have a female majority with newcomers Wright and Shellie Milne joining Councilwoman Linda Krupa.
In the "every vote counts" category, Ruiz received 2,941 votes to beat Michael Fred Allen by only 107 votes for the third seat available in the election. Wright's victory in Hemet for the third available seat was even closer percentage wise, with 7,773 votes, 139 more than fourth place finisher Rick Crimeni.
Although Salgado had a greater margin as the registrar updated the vote tallies in the last couple weeks, she would not declare a win over 40-year incumbent Valley-Wide board member Nick Schouten until results were certified Monday.
"I'm excited to serve the Community," she posted on her Facebook page in announcing Monday night, Nov. 26, that she had won a seat on the board.
The women, and the men, elected to various valley boards will be sworn in in December, typically at the next meeting of each public agency.
If you're one of those people upset by the pace of the ballot counting, I'll offer a link once more to Registrar of Voters Kari Verjil's op-ed piece from the county website about why counting ballots takes time, and why the options are limited.
The ballot counting challenge was addressed in another Jeff Horseman story, where the Riverside County Board of Supervisors praised Verjil considering the challenges her office faces in counting ballots.

Managing Transaction Costs in the Era of Globalization
Frank A.G. den Butter
Chapter 5: The transition from production to orchestration
Frank A.G. den Butter
This chapter pays attention to how economic activity in transaction economies gradually shifts towards a situation where the orchestration of production becomes a major economic activity. Parts of the production process are outsourced to subcontractors and suppliers in the home country, but also to subcontractors abroad (outsourcing, off shoring). Three examples of this transition from production to orchestrating production are discussed. As noted previously, the global fragmentation of production implies that the production chain is split up into more and more parts and that outsourcing the parts of the chain that are produced abroad becomes increasingly important. To know how to do this is precisely what creates value in the era of globalization. This decoupling of the production chain and creating value by outsourcing requires a good level of skill to organize and coordinate the whole production process. This is what the orchestrating function is all about. Transaction economies focus increasingly on this orchestrating function, presumably because of their comparative advantages in specific knowledge and infrastructure, and because of their ability to create adequate institutions for fostering exchange, as discussed in the previous chapter. This induces a shift of economic activity from production itself to organizing production. The orchestration of production based on the appropriate cost considerations of what, where and by whom to produce is a vital issue for transaction management. Figure 5.1 pictures the transition from a manufacturing-oriented firm to one focused on trade and orchestration.

Tom Petty: a heartbreaker no longer
By David Bauder
Merced Sun-Star — July 28, 1989
'Full Moon Fever' sounds like the Traveling Wilburys
Judging by his first solo album, "Full Moon Fever," it seems Tom Petty's heart is no longer with the Heartbreakers.
He's a Wilbury now.
Brevity in lyrics and simplicity in music seems to be the lessons he's taken from his tenure with the Traveling Wilburys.
"Full Moon Fever" can almost get an identical critical assessment as the Traveling Wilburys' record: Both albums are filled with breezy "feel-good" songs that are essentially lightweight but sound terrific.
All his fellow Wilburys, save Bob Dylan, make appearances. Co-producer Jeff Lynne, who also had his hand in writing seven of the 12 songs, is the most prominent.
Petty's laconic nature is occasionally funny, like on this perverse nursery rhyme from "Yer So Bad": "My sister got lucky, married a yuppie. Took him for all he was worth. Now she's a swinger, dating a singer. I can't decide which is worse."
On the majestic melody, "Free Fallin'," Petty says more in a five-word chorus than many songwriters do in a whole song.
Like on Paul McCartney's "My Brave Face," the narrator's joy at newfound freedom from a relationship is mixed with despair at his loss.
His cover of the Byrds' "Feel a Whole Lot Better" is a dead ringer for Petty's own "Listen to Her Heart."
The tunes are all relatively conservative pop-rock fare, except for the grungy guitar of "Runnin' Down a Dream," and the closing romp, "Zombie Zoo."
Judging by the early sales figures, Petty's Wilbury work has introduced him to an older generation of fans that might otherwise have suspiciously looked upon him.
He's stripped his music to the essentials on "Full Moon Fever" to make that introduction that much easier.

Little Girl and A Tiger in the Water
Written by : Zena Khan
Little Girl and a Tiger in the Water is the latest painting by the prolific contemporary Malaysian painter, Ali Nurazmal Yusoff. An oil on canvas that measures at 6 feet x 8.5 feet, this new work represents a shift in direction for the artist conceptually, presented in the hyper detailed realist style that is Ali's calling card.
While on a self-imposed sabbatical of four months, Ali traveled to East Semporna, in Sabah. Initially, slightly worried about security in East Semporna due to the occasional attacks by the Filipino pirates in the area, Ali was instead struck by the beauty and tranquility of the area. Despite the constant underlying threat of attack, Ali found the locals living a peaceful, innocent life, even if the way of life is slightly behind times- this is by choice. Wandering around one day, Ali noticed that the locals still used payphones frequently, and saw a Bajau woman talking on one, her young daughter by her side. The manner in which little girl was telephoning imaginary friends and animatedly chatting to them caught Ali's attention and he took several pictures of her, feeling this encapsulated the essence of his impression of the district. We find this little girl captured on the extreme right of the canvas, painted large and bright as one of the two main subjects of the painting.
On the extreme left of the canvas, a tiger arises from watery depths. The tiger summarizes the importance of 'form' to Ali as an artist. Ali has painted the tiger as three dimensional, creating a sense amongst the audience it may emerge from the canvas itself at any moment, teeth bared, ready to pounce, sitting in stark contrast to the innocent and unaware child. The tiger symbolizes the danger that lurks in the seas by East Semporna, from which the pirates can appear at any moment to disrupt the quiet harmony that prevails.
In the past Ali has been prolific with the inclusion of self-portraits in his work, so it is interesting to note this is absent in the first major painting after his hiatus. The audience can view this as a change in direction, the artist is shifting from a point where he looks at situations in relation to himself to a new point in which he is studying the world at large. This change in direction is also noticeable in his color palette.
Ali famously uses reds and greens in the majority of his work, these colors speak of himself in terms of his Malay and Chinese heritage, yet Little Girl and a Tiger in the Water is brought to us in new colors with an overwhelming turquoise background and white tiger. Ali has remarked that he considers his finished paintings as a series of studies through which he explores both his personal self and the world around him, commenting they are notes on his quest to create what he feels will be his ultimate painting. The fact that he had paused in the middle of an exploding career to center his focus and move forward in a new direction demonstrates his dedication to his art, and speaks of his determination to be present on the contemporary Malaysian art scene as a major player in the long haul with his ability to constantly create exciting new paintings that capture the imagination of critics and collectors alike.

- Nairobi University student leader Babu Owino has been arrested for allegedly making inciting remarks
- Babu Owino was held at Kilimani police station with nearly 2000 students demonstrating against his arrest
- Owino had earlier issued a warning to Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria of dire consequences for his comment on CORD leader Raila Odinga
University of Nairobi students leader Babu Owino has been arrested for hate speech and inciting violence.
Babu Owino who is chairman of the Students Organisation of Nairobi University (SONU), allegedly made threats against Gatundu South legislator Moses Kuria on Monday, June 13.
The threat against Kuria by Owino was after the fiery MP had claimed Raila Odinga could be killed.
The SONU boss is being held at Kilimani police station for questioning concerning his remarks.
Nearly 2000 students from the University of Nairobi blocked Valley Road as they marched to the police station.
The students demanded the release of Babu Owino and the arrest of Gatundu South MP instead.
READ ALSO: Photos: The statement Moses Kuria recorded with the DCI over Raila assassination remarks
Babu Owino is accused of inciting violence when he claimed that he will use his henchmen to hunt and deal with the Gatundu South MP.
Owino also told Kuria that Raila is not his mother's boyfriend and that he has no right to address the CORD leader as he did.
Barely a month ago the controversial student was arrested for assault and was arraigned in court in May 5, 2016.
Owino was accused of beating up his university election rival Mike Jacobs with a video of the incident going viral.
The arrest of Owino comes after several high profile arrests of politicians accused of spreading hate and inciting their followers.
On Monday, June 13, Moses Kuria appeared at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to record a statement on his comments against opposition leader Raila Odinga.
On Tuesday, June 14, Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama and Suna East MP Junnet Mohamed were arrested for hate speech with the Suna East MP being arrested in a dramatic showdown outside Nation center.

Pastor's Cover (Annual Report) Letter
Beloved of God,
Last year I began my report by saying that it was a joy to be writing the annual report to you! As we look back on our first full year of ministry together, my joy has only increased. I regularly give thanks to God for you as a congregation, for your warmth and hospitality, for your love for one another, for your desire to care for each other and to serve the world in the name of Jesus. Our family is overjoyed to be in your midst ministering alongside you.
As you read through the various reports* which follow, I encourage you to read them with eyes focused on the ministry of Jesus in our midst. Jesus promised to be with his disciples, and that means Jesus has promised to be with us. Jesus has been at work in our life together, calling us to give of ourselves for the sake of others, both within our faith family and in the community beyond. Jesus has been at work increasing our capacity to give generously, both of our lives and of our resources. Jesus has been teaching us to see the world through his eyes, and to feel and experience the world as he feels and experiences it, so that we might laugh with those who laugh and mourn with those who mourn. Jesus has been meeting with us, teaching us, calling us to follow him yet again, and encouraging us as we seek God's kingdom. Jesus has been at work equipping us for ministry, calling forth gifts both old and new. Let us give thanks to Jesus for all he has been doing in our midst through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
I encourage you to take some time and reflect on where Jesus has been with you through this past year. Where have you been comforted? Where have you been challenged? Where you have been equipped? Where have you been sent in Jesus' name? Once you have had a chance to reflect on these questions, I encourage you to get together with one or two friends and to share together. In so doing we will be giving a report not just on the church's programs and our corporate life together, but also on the mysterious work of the Holy Spirit in each of our lives as our Lord continues the work he began in each of us.
As we look toward the future, let us also give thanks to God for the new work to which Jesus is calling us and for which the Spirit is now preparing us. May our celebration of this year's ministry, and the knowledge of the Spirit's work in our lives which flows from that celebration, give us courage to live into the future with hope. May the knowledge that Christ is ever with us make us willing to give the fullness of ourselves to God's purposes in the world!
Glory to God!
Jonathan Hughes, Pastor

Boroughmuir rugby coach Bruce Aitchison has hailed the contributions of former England scrum half Steve Bates as the Meggetland outfit prepare to bid for a place back in the Scottish Premiership.
Now director of sport at Fettes College after a pro rugby career in which he coached Newcastle Falcons and Border Reivers as well as Scotland A, Bates is satisfying an urge to return to the coal face of the senior game alongside Aitchison and the SRU's regional academy manager Ben Fisher, a Boroughmuir stalwart.
Said Aitchison: "Steve has tremendous experience in both coaching and playing.
"He also comes with no pre-conceived notions, which fits well with our policy of giving a clean sheet to every player to stake his claim for a first-team place.
"Steve helped make Rob Andrew the player he was (at Wasps and Newcastle), which is a measure of his abilities and now he has a hankering to be involved in the club game when his school duties permit.
"Hopefully we have a good balance with Steve's experience and expertise, my involvement with club teams over a number of years and Ben's input based partly on what he learns in his job at Murrayfield."
Bates' knowledge actually goes even deeper, having nurtured the rugby skills of a young Jonny Wilkinson as a teacher before entering full-time sport.
Adding to a sense of optimism is the fact Andy Rose is due to return early next month after gaining his first Zimbabwe caps in the African Championship.
"For any player to represent his country is special and Andy was able to turn out in front of 30,000 crowds in Madagascar where the Championship was held.
"He is bound to be on a high. Andy was already an outstanding back row but his confidence will have been boosted even more."
Aitchison has joined from Murrayfield Wanderers after consulting former Edinburgh coach Rob Moffat.
"I asked my wife, dad and Rob for advice when the opportunity came up because leaving Wanderers was a real wrench," he says. "The unanimous view was that the challenge of trying to help Boroughmuir bounce back from relegation was too good.
"We've had 68 different players turning out at training and some of them will shortly head over to Sweden to compete in the annual Stockholm ten-a-side tournament."
Relegation has come at a price with some recent Scotland under-20 caps switching allegiance.
"Alex Henderson and Keith Buchan are joining Heriot's while Damien Hoyland has gone to Melrose and I understand why they have made moves I hope will turn into sabbaticals!" said Aitchison.
Others on the move include Jamie Swanson who has joined Stirling County with a view to British and Irish Cup involvement as a means of pushing pro aspirations, while Ally Warnock has moved to Australia.
However, Scotland under-20 prop Robby Wilson has remained while new recruits include Alex Cox (ex Murrayfield Wands), Murray Johnstone (ex-Currie) and the Stew/Mel trio of Craig Marshall, Joni Hare and Roddy Mackenzie.
Pitching up after a stint in USA rugby is Cal Davis (ex-Haddington) while Edinburgh development back row Magnus Bradbury has arrived from Merchiston Castle school with a bright future predicted.
Aitchison adds: "There is an opening at stand-off that Craig Marshall, David Reekie and Graeme Blackhall will all be looking to fill.
"Further out, Stevie Wilson is really flying in training and Jordan Webster, a PE teacher, seems to benefit from somebody else setting the agenda.
"Among the forwards Ian Moody will be back from injury and Will Kay is a second row of real promise who can come into his own this season."

It may be a no name cheaper one but i made sure it was a rising rate by 1:1 ratio so every psi of boost it raises the pressure 1psi just like stock and the more expensive regulators. Only difference i hope is this one comes with all the fittings and also comes with a gauge to go with it and if it does not work well i will get a name brand and use the fittings from this on theres.
Im not being a jerk at all but have to ask are you sponcered by killer b because i always here you mention them as much as you can? I personally have kinugawa elh and 3 bolt uppipe which is the same as gtspec,tomei and a few others since they are all made in the smae place but branded different and love the way they perform.
I have a new block coming in on monday to start building for the future since i am pushing stock internals to the ragid edge. I plan on using cp pistons but wonder if i should to the 9.0:1 compression or the 8.2:1? I am going to primarily use e85 and am going to use the stock ej255 heads and dont plan on any cams or headwork. Reason being is my 4eat will only allow my car to redline at 6300rpm and wont go any further since the tcu shifts at that point no matter what.
Nate, Chris at Killer B has taken care of me but I wouldn't call it a sponsorship. I am running his oil pan, pick up, windage tray, alternator cover, shift knob and of course the Holy Header! My buddy Angel Ortiz at HP Techs has sponsored me with great deals on the KB stuff I bought from him. Chris at KB is very accomodating when we needed some 321SS for the EWG on the up pipe he made it available. The workmanship and materials of the products is top shelf, the best! Mostly though like Junior said the headers just work, they are a great design, simple, the primaries are about as short as you can get for a Subaru, the 4:1 collector and the size of the tubing is also right for VF's and big turbos. That and they are bomb proof and guaranteed for life.
If you have good pump gas and you'll mostly be using E85 then I would consider the 9:1 CR. Our D25 heads (from the EJ255) do seem to work well with the high CR. I love my off boost response with the higher compression. I was driving around a bit today on pump and mostly out of boost, the gauge said 11 psi max but the car is peppy even at lower boost and it's amazing how usable 3rd gear is at lower speeds!

After I watched this, I felt like I'd been in a train wreck. Simply state, this movie doesn't give you warm and fuzzy feelings. I came out of this movie feeling weak in the knees, and I thought I was going to vomit. Never before has any media made me feel that way before. This movie is not for the faint of heart, but everyone should see it. How anyone can use drugs after seeing this movie is beyond me.
A film paralleling the lives of Sara (Ellen Burstyn), a lonely and a TV obssesed old widow, her son Harry (Jared Leto), his girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connely), and their drug dealer friend Tyron (Marlon Wayans). After learning that she will make an appearance on a TV show, Sara tries to lose weight so that she can fit into her red dress, and become hooked on diet pills. Meanwhile, Harry and his friends are taking heroin and coccaine. Then the disasterous consequences and the downward spiral take their lives as a result of their addictions.
This film is brutal in my opinion, and a very important film; anyone who had been addicted to anything can relate to this film. It is my belief that in order to really enjoy a movie, a person needs to relate and empathize with the characters portrayed, and this film succeeds admirably. Instead of becoming corny and melodramatic, it conveys a feeling of helplessness and innocence about drug addiction. There are certain things that are so cruel, touching, honest or all of these at the same time that I almost cannot bear to watch it. I saw the characters slowly decline throughout film, wishing I could do something for them. The impact this film has on people will change the movie industry forever. It is grotesque but not gratuitously. The film is not interested in providing a moralistic after-school special; there's a clear identification with each character and I come to understand the motivations even if the choices seem woeful.
The ice cold current of the Kronos Quartet flows fast through the spinning images of characters' lives collapsing from stark reality exploding-through their pitiful constructs. The music is so familiar if you ever watched The Lord of the Rings trilogy because they are using the same music. This churning of images blends the characters into a solitary unit of grotesque failure in the face of their aspirations. The thing that surprised me those most about this movie was Marlon Wayans' ability to step out of his usually comic role in order to play a convincing drug addict. During Sara's monologue about being old and lonely, I bawled like a kid. It really hit the nerve. Although the film is very graphic, making it inappropriate for faint heart viewers, and harsh in its depiction of reality. What makes this movie great is it's ability to step out from the individual characters, and to tap into the underlying theme of addiction in all of its forms. Therefore I believe that many people will be able to identify different characters in this movie with different parts of their life.
Ratings: 6.5/10
Welcome to my humble weblog, a place to quench your addiction of movies. Enjoy your stay. Sometimes it's okay to be addicted to movies. PS: Beware of my brash review and language. I have a crazy obsessive compulsive behavior of watching movies. I called it being passionate. LOL. Grab some popcorn, and have a nice day! By the way, you can click the boxes at each reviews to watch the movie trailers. Enjoy!Other Blogs

CO2 emissions of international freight transport and offshoring: Measurement and allocation
The growing offshoring process is the result of the fragmentation of production processes and the creation of global supply chains. This process has increased final and intermediate imports, but also the distance that goods travel in different stages until they reach the final consumer, as well as the requirements of transport per unit of output and the volume of CO2 emissions generated in transporting them. Nowadays, there is no generally accepted criterion for international transport pollution allocation. No single country has the responsibility for emissions of international bunkers provided by IPCC. In this paper we propose a new methodology for quantifying by sector the impact of international freight transport on total pollution and assigning responsibility to consumers. This methodology considers the distance and the means of transport as key elements and uses input-output methodology. We apply this to the Spanish economy combining data from input-output tables, import data, and CO2 emission data. The results show that the proportion of total CO2 emissions accounted for by emissions from international freight transportation, allocated via the consumer criterion, increase up to 4.16% between 1995 and 2000. As expected, the industries where this offshoring process is more intense show the greatest increases in carbon emissions related to international transport. These emissions are significantly higher than emissions embodied in domestic inputs in some of those industries where international fragmentation of production is relevant and increasing.

Pro-Islamic State note found near Paris gunman, source says
Share this article
PARIS, April 21 — A handwritten note praising the Islamic State group was found near the attacker who shot dead a police officer and wounded two others on Paris's Champs Elysees, a source close to the probe said today.
In addition to the note near the body of 39-year-old Frenchman Karim Cheurfi, authorities found a Quran in his vehicle at the scene of yesterday's attack, the sources told AFP.
After killing the officer and injuring two of his colleagues just a few hundred metres (feet) from the Arc de Triomphe, the gunman was shot dead in return fire while trying to flee on foot.
A statement by IS's propaganda agency Amaq said the attacker was one of its "fighters", identifying him as "Abu Yussef the Belgian".
The killer identified by French authorities was known to anti-terror police, sources told AFP. He had been arrested in February on suspicion of plotting to kill police officers but released for lack of evidence.
He had been convicted in 2005 on three counts of attempted murder, including two targeting police officers, sources said. Police were questioning three people from his entourage. — AFP

Peugeot has finally announced the pricing and specification information for its new 3008 crossover.
For the latest news and deals, sign up to the Which? Car email
Peugeot says the is such an all-rounder it represents a rival to everything from SUVs to ordinary hatchbacks, with practicality built-in as well. It seats five, offers a commanding view of the road and has a well thought-out interior – but how's the value?
As speculated, the 3008 slots in between Peugeot's 308 hatchback and 308 SW estate, costing £15,995-£21,895, compared with £13,495-£22,945 and £16,545-£22,895, respectively. You might think this spells the end of the 308 SW, but don't forget that car is available with seven seats.
High-tech 3008 offers good value
The Peugeot 3008 will come in three trim levels: Active, Sport and Exclusive.
Active trim includes air conditioning, automatic parking brake with hill assist, stability control, and remote locking and a Multiflex interior, which provides fold-flat rear seats, a genuinely useful three-position shelf in the boot and a split tailgate.
Sport takes this baseline and adds alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, cruise control with speed limiter, rear-seat air conditioning vents and practical items, such as a cargo net and boot light that doubles as a torch.
Finally, Exclusive gets all the 3008's headline-grabbing toys. These include a panoramic roof and a head-up display with distance alert system, which warns you if you're getting too close to the car in front. In addition there are automatic lights and wipers, tyre pressure monitors, extra storage and dual-zone climate control with air quality sensor.
All versions of the new Peugeot 3008 get six airbags, while the most powerful petrol and diesel versions benefit from Dynamic Roll Control. This acts like a third shock absorber at the rear, helping to control body roll – and possibly reduce backseat motion sickness.
New Peugeot has low emissions
Engine choices for the 3008 consist of two petrols and three turbodiesels.
The greenest version is the HDi 110 turbodiesel – especially when combined with a new electronically controlled six-speed automatic gearbox, when it emits just 130g/km CO2 and returns an official average of 57.7mpg. The quickest is the turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol, which does 0-62mph in 8.9 seconds; this version also has a top speed of 125mph. Unsurprisingly, it is also the least efficient, emitting 176g/km CO2 and returning 38.2mpg.

A/N A big thank you to Gaby-Black who edited this.
'Sirius Black, I hate you,' thirteen-year-old James Potter dramatically declared.
'Really? Why?' Sirius asked absent-mindedly.
'Because,' James answered, 'you were the one who told me that Divination was going to be easy.'
'C'mon, you can't say that Divination is difficult, can you?' Remus asked, grinning.
'Listen to this... When a person close to you dies,' James said, reading from his book, 'you immediately feel it under your skin, you know that something has changed, you... it's so creepy and freaky!'
'Well...' Remus said.
'It's pure rubbish,' James snorted. 'You can't feel when someone close to you is dying. It's impossible'.
'Well, maybe if the people are very close... like the four of us...' Peter suggested.
'Nah, I can't really believe it,' Sirius said. 'What do you think, Remus?'
Remus looked thoughtful.
'I don't know...' Remus said slowly. 'I guess you can't say until you try.'
'Evans!' James shouted. 'Would you go in the other room and kill yourself, so I can see if I feel something under my skin?'
'Shut up, Potter,' a pretty red-haired girl hissed from the other end of the Common Room.
'Anyway...' Remus said sternly, trying to regain James' attention, 'I hope we'll never find out.'
'I agree,' Peter said with a hesitant smile and Sirius nodded.
'Yes, who cares?' James said, laughing, and threw away the book.
Sirius Black was alone in his flat, singing aloud an old tune and making himself a toast.
He was immersed in his thoughts, thinking of the Order, worrying for James and his family, wondering like every night if Remus was really betraying them, refusing, like every night, to think about it.
Suddenly he felt his heart pounding faster.
What's happening? he thought, disorientated, as a shiver ran down his spine and he let the ham fall on the floor.
James! he thought. Without even taking his cloak, he ran outside.
'James!' he bellowed in the darkness, unsure of what he expected to hear, of what he expected to see.
'James!' he cried again and nobody but a lonesome owl answered to him.
He is dead. He must be. He can't be.
He got on his motorbike, trying to think of what to do (Go to James's, no, go to Peter's, Harry, Lily, Remus, Peter, James) but he couldn't focus on anything, as he knew, he just knew, that James, who had been his brother, his father, his best friend, was dead.
And Sirius Black, the man who had never cried, who hadn't even cried when he had realised that his family didn't love him, who hadn't cried when his only brother had died, who hadn't cried when he had thought that his best friend might have been betraying him, who hadn't cried when men and women he loved and respected (Marlene, the Prewett brothers, Benjy Fenwick) had died, the man who thought that he had no tears, cried for the whole night, cried seeing James and Lily's house blown up, cried taking Harry in his arms and rocking him gently, cried as he realised that nothing was going to be the same anymore, because James had left him forever.
Peter Pettigrew was alone in a dark and gloomy room. A couple of minutes ago the Dark Lord and all the Death Eaters had left the house, to go to the Ministry to fight against the Order. When Voldemort had ordered the others to follow him, Pettigrew had reluctantly put on his cloak, but the Dark Lord had stopped him.
'You stay here,' he had hissed, and had left him alone.
Why? he was wondering. Why didn't he want me to go with him?
Not that he was unhappy about it. He was quite relieved, actually. He had always been afraid of fighting and had never been that good at duelling.
Oh Peter, don't underestimate yourself! You are as good as any of us, a voice echoed from his past.
Peter closed his eyes as he heard the voice, James' voice, talking to him, saying words that he had often repeated in his short (short! Peter muttered) life.
Those voices from the past had started haunting his days and nights, especially since he had seen Remus and Sirius again.
Remus and Sirius... Peter thought. They must be over there, at the Ministry, fighting against the Dark Lord.
He tried to picture them. He could see Sirius's grin, Remus's concentrated face. He could hear the spells they were screaming, the curses they were casting.
Suddenly he heard a cry in his mind.
What is that? What was that? he wondered, shaking and looking around, terrified, as if he expected to see someone near him.
NO! he heard again, and it sounded like James' voice, Peter thought, but it was slightly different, the tone was different, and then, Peter had never heard James shouting in such a desperate way.
And then he realised.
It was Harry. Harry was shouting.
And at the same time he realised that Sirius was dead.
He felt tears swimming in his eyes.
How is it possible? he wondered. I betrayed him. I made him spend twelve years in Azkaban. I was ready to kill him, if necessary. Why am I crying now? What's different? He is dead, and so what?
'WHY AM I CRYING?' he shouted, as tears ran upon his cheeks, and he was crying for his life, for his betrayal, for his mistakes, for his long-lost innocence. And he was crying for those voices which haunted his dreams, and he was crying for Lily and James' voices, which spoke softly in his dreams and reassured him, we don't hate you, we still love you, and we know that in the bottom of your heart you are good. And he was crying for Harry, because he had held him when the little boy hadn't opened his eyes yet, and he was crying for Remus, because he had been his best friend once, and he was crying for Sirius, because he was dead, he was dead, he was dead, and those words, Sirius is dead, echoed in his mind.
'I'm sorry, I'm really sorry,' he cried and from the distance he clearly heard James and Sirius saying together:
We know, Wormtail. We know.
1998 - April
Remus shifted uncomfortably in his bed and stared at the ceiling.
He had been nervous for the whole day, pacing up and down the house like a lion in a cage.
'What's wrong, Remus?' Dora had asked, worried.
'I don't know,' Remus had thoughtfully answered. 'It's like... like something big... something that concerns me... something sad... is happening somewhere...'
His nine-months pregnant wife had looked at him with fear in her eyes.
'Never mind,' Remus had said with a laugh that sounded hollow. 'I must be getting old and weird.'
Dora had laughed and changed the subject.
But now Remus couldn't sleep.
He got up, trying not to wake up his wife, and went to the window and stared at the moon.
He was thinking of Harry, wondering if he was okay, and where he was.
A sudden memory crossed his mind.
It was the first day of September and he was sitting alone in the Hogwarts Express, wondering if he was going to make friends, if he was going to be alright.
Suddenly the door opened and a young boy poked his head in.
'Can I sit here?' the boy asked haltingly, and Remus nodded with a smile.
The boy sat and the two of them sat in silence for a while.
'Are you... are you a first year?' Remus asked.
'Yes,' the boy said, nodding enthusiastically, 'I'm Peter. Peter Pettigrew.'
Why am I thinking of this? Remus thought, stopping the flow of his memories.
But then Peter's face crossed his mind again.
He looked like he did when he was eleven, and was gazing at him with a serious expression.
Remus... I am sorry, he said with tears in his eyes, I am sorry I ruined your life. I am sorry for all the things I have done. I am sorry. I really am.
You killed them! You killed Lily and James! Remus thought, as if he were talking to the true Wormtail.
I know, the eleven-year-old Peter said, crying, I know. But I wasn't like you or James or Sirius. I wasn't brave or loyal like you. I was weak. I failed. I am sorry.
Remus didn't answer and stared at the moon, Peter's face still in his mind, tears (of sadness? of rage? of wistfulness?) in his eyes.
Suddenly he heard a low tap at the window. He looked at it and he saw an owl. He cautiously opened the window and took the little envelope the owl held.
Ron, Harry and Hermione here. They're okay. Ollivander, Lovegood's daughter and Thomas here as well. Pettigrew dead. Hear from you soon, Bill.
They are okay! was Remus' first triumphant thought.
Then he read the letter once more and he felt a shiver running down his spine as he read the curt words, Pettigrew dead.
I am the last Marauder, he thought as he went back to bed, the face of the eleven-year-old Peter still in his mind, feeling a sense of loneliness pervading his heart, a rush of loneliness even greater than the time James and Lily had died, than the time Sirius had died.
Why? he wondered. He didn't know the answer but, as he adjusted himself closer to Dora, he knew that if her body hadn't been so close and so warm and so reassuring, he probably would have cried.
1998 – May
Remus saw the green light heading towards him.
He had seen it several times in his life, but never towards him, never so close.
There was no time to run away, no time to dodge it, no time to do anything.
Everything was moving slower. The light, Dora running towards him, Bellatrix laughing, Kingsley shouting something.
Protect Teddy, he wanted to tell Dora, but the words died on his lips as he graciously fell on the floor, the noise of his body falling echoing in the corridor, strange, he thought, of all places, I'm dying here in Hogwarts, the place I loved the most.
James, Sirius and Peter's faces crossed his mind.
They were eleven and jumping on their beds on the first day of school, they were thirteen and roaming through the Castle at night, they were eighteen and leaving Hogwarts, fear and excitation mingling in their eyes. They were nineteen and cheering as James was kissing his new bride. They were twenty and with a proud smile they were passing to each other a black-haired bundle.
Their voices echoed in his mind.
'Nice to meet you, my name is James, James Potter.' 'We don't care that you are a werewolf, Remus. Really, we don't.' 'We've done it! We're Animagi now!' 'Whatever happens when we're out of Hogwarts, I am sure the four of us will be friends forever'. 'Moony, she said yes! I'm getting married!' 'You'll never believe it, but Prongs is having a baby!' 'Remus, this is Harry James Potter. Harry, say hi to Uncle Moony'...
And then, the last echo. But this time it wasn't a memory.
'Are you coming, Remus?' two voices, maybe three, asked at the same time.
'Yes I am,' he answered and nobody failed to notice that Remus Lupin, sometimes called Moony, the werewolf, the loving husband, the caring father, the loyal friend as he died had a wide smile on his lips.

It's expensive, but the Lego Ghostbusters HQ is a very detailed set. Is it a good value? Is it fun to build? Does it have replay value? I bought it and here's the review with pictures so that you can decide if you want one too!
The Build
This was very fun to build. The building has solid walls and floors that hold together great. It feels strong. And there is a lot of detail throughout that keeps it varied up and interesting. There is texture to the exterior. The interior features all sorts of different rooms and areas that do a great job at representing the Ghostbusters' headquarters from both movies. Above is their lab and pool table. You've got computers, maps, dartboards, a boombox, electronics equipment, beakers. The pool table has some colored studs to represent balls and cues that snap onto the wall. Hanging lights. Great, great attention to detail.
The second floor features a mini version of their living quarters. You have three beds so I guess you could recreate the scene of Ray getting a ghost BJ. The dining table comes with a toaster and some pink mood slime so you can recreate the famous Ghostbusters 2 scene where Ray and Egon explain the properties of this special ectoplasm. There's a stove, fireplace, cupboards with food and cooking stuff, a refrigerator, and even an arcade cabinet.
Janine gets her desk with the office area in the back. I have the Ectomobile and while it isn't shown in this photo, the main doors open up and it fits in here.
The outside features a garbage can, street light, and fire escape! A lot of fun and very solid build.
There's a lot of playability to this set once you're done constructing it. It comes with 12 minifigures, which is a lot. All four Ghostbusters, along with their proton packs and two face printings – normal and scared. Janine, Slimer and two rando ghosts. You also have the cab driver zombie and the library ghost with both a normal face and hair bun and a scary face with wild hair. Finally, Louis Tully and Dana Barrett. They each come with a normal face and hair, but Dana has a second printed face that is a possessed Zuul face and Louis has a second, possessed face and Egon's helmet thing. Also, the entire HQ opens on one side, swinging out in a "dollhouse" fashion to let you access each room.
On top of that, there are all the rooms mentioned above in the build plus some more small areas to play in. There is a small but detailed bathroom that has ectoplasm bubbling up. More lab area. Lockers for the proton packs. And of course a firepole. There's a thing to clip the figures on and they spin all the way down. It's cute and fun. The large main doors also have a smaller door for figures to go through and on the other side are stairs and a small ghost containment unit. It isn't in the basement, but it's a nice approximation by putting it on the bottom floor under the stairs.
The set is expensive. It's $349.99 and only available in Lego stores or at shop.lego.com. BUT it has 4,634 pieces. A loose rule of them is 10 cents per brick. That means it's over $100 less than a lot of comparable sets. So while the high price point means it's aimed squarely at collectors, it is a very, very good value.
This took me about a week, building for a couple hours each night. So there's a good amount of time invested in the build and then you can either play or pose the minifigs to recreate scenes. It's pretty loyal to the movies, considering the scale they're working at. I absolutely love it and found it to be a very fair price for what you get.
The Verdict
One of my favorite Lego builds ever, based on one of my favorite movies ever. It was a no-brainer for me. I can only give it a perfect review: three out of three thumbs.
