Climate change studies have used various different regional definitions depending on the character of the problem considered and differences in methodological approaches. Regional studies can be organized according to geographical criteria, political organizational structures, trade relations, climatic conditions, stage of industrialization or other socio-economic criteria relevant to adaptive and mitigative capacity (Duque and Ramos, 2004; Ott et al., 2004; Pan, 2004a).
Some classifications are based on so-called 'normative criteria' such as membership of countries in UN fora and agreements. Differentiation into Annex-1 and non-Annex-1 countries is specified in the UNFCCC, although the classification of certain countries has been a matter of some dispute. Annex-1 countries are further sub-divided into those that are undergoing a transition to market economies. Figure 13.2 in Chapter 13 shows the current country groupings under the Climate Convention, OECD and the European Union. Some Economies in Transition (Rabinovitch and Leitman, 1993) and developing countries are members of the OECD, and some developing countries have income levels that are higher than developed nations (Baumert et al., 2004; Ott et al., 2004). Given the complexities of the criteria used in country groupings, in this report the terms 'developed countries', 'economies in transition' (together forming the industrialized countries) and 'developing countries' are commonly used; categories that are primarily of a socio-economic nature.
In climate mitigation studies, there are often two types of regional breakdowns used – physio-geographic or socio-economic. Data on insolation (relevant to solar power), rainfall (relevant to hydrower), temperature, precipitation and soil type (relevant to the potential for carbon sequestration) are examples of physio-geographic classifications useful in climate change mitigation studies.
The multitude of possible regional representations hinders the comparability and transfer of information between the various types of studies implemented for specific regions and scales. Data availability also determines what kinds of aggregation are possible. Proxies are used when data is not available. This report has generally chosen a pragmatic way of analyzing regional information and presenting findings. Readers should bear in mind that any regional classification masks sub-regional differences.

Air pollution linked to up to 24,000 deaths, say DoH experts
Short-term air pollution causes between 12,000 and 24,000 early deaths in Great Britain each year, according to a report for the Department of Health (DoH).1 The true impact is likely to be even higher, as experts were unable to quantify the effects of some common pollutants or the role played by long-term exposure to pollution.

Eyeliner: flicks, tricks and cat eyes
Worried about hand wobbles and wonky lines? Try gel liner
Audrey Hepburn: the poster girl for flicked eyeliner
The cat's-eye flick has been synonymous with glamour since the days of the old Hollywood screen sirens. With the fashion passion strong for the vintage look at the moment, Audrey Hepburn is the poster girl for flicked liner.
The very thought of winged liner is enough to frighten the life out of many people, however. Hand wobbles, wonky lines and drawing a thicker line on one eye than the other are dangers. As someone who has been wearing liquid liner ever since I first discovered the joy of it around my Leaving Cert years, I find it draws the blackest and most dramatic line. I've shouted my love for the iconic Lancome Art Liner to the rooftops so many times that I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but I realise it's not for everyone.
The cosmetic industry knows it's not for everyone too, and so various gizmos have been invented to try and make it easier to get the line right – Bourjois and Clarins 3 Dot Liners among them. You don't really need three-pronged liners, however – just dot your regular liner along the lash line if you don't feel confident enough to create a solid line straight off, and then join the dots.
Gel liner is a much safer bet. It's easier to control, easier to draw with a mini-brush and offers much less potential for disaster because it's so easy to fix. Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner (€22.50) and Mac Fluidline (€18.50) are probably the best known of the premium gel liners, and for years it was impossible to find a decent budget alternative. All that changed with the introduction of Maybelline Eye Studio Gel Liner (€11.50) , which included a brush and managed to outdo the pricier brands. Twist-up gel liner pencils are another option, but they don't tend to wear as well.
And if you're feeling extra brave? Adding a bold stripe of coloured eyeliner above your regular black line to create a double liner effect looks great on a night out.
Tweet Aisling @Aphrodite101
Smashbox Always Sharp 3D Liner (€19)
One of the most annoying things about pencil liners is that you can never find a sharpener when you need it. These iridescent twist-up liners are available in eight shades and will add definition and shimmer.
Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel (€15)
This is the smartest gel liner budget choice, and is available in 20 colours . The shade range means you can follow any trend you desire , and the quality is great.
Urban Decay Ink For Eyes (€20)
A fine, intensely black line that's practically bomb-proof. Turn the pen to get a thicker line and use the tip to create a winged look.
Laura Mercier Creme Eyeliner (€27)
This liner, a sort of liquid -gel hybrid, is applied with a brush and makes it really easy to get a clean and perfectly defined look. Available in six shades.

Worldwide, 35 million people are living with HIV. Of these, 18 million don't know they are infected. Every year there are 2.5 million new infections and 1.5 million deaths.
by Norman Fowler
Biteback, 304pp, £14.99
Since the beginning of the HIV pandemic in 1981, 36 million people have died of the disease.
This is a human tragedy more deadly than either of the two catastrophic world wars. Like war, HIV has cut down mostly young, productive people in the prime of their lives; creating vast personal, social and economic loss – particularly in developing countries where health care and education resources are limited.
In this powerful book Aids: Don't Die of Prejudice, Norman Fowler, a Secretary of State for Health in the 1980s under Margaret Thatcher, argues that the biggest obstacle to tackling HIV is prejudice. He blames stigma around the disease and the particular stigmatisation of sex workers, intravenous drug users and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people – all of whom are criminalised by many, if not most, countries.
His testimony begins with Britain in 1986, making no mention of the previous three wasted years, during which the government failed to protect the blood supply and provided little or no funding for the pioneering HIV prevention and support organisation, the Terrence Higgins Trust. He picks up the story as he planned the government's first ad campaign to warn the public about the danger of HIV. He had, he says, to manoeuvre to circumvent Thatcher's attempts to water it down .
With the support of Willie Whitelaw, he adopted an evidence-based approach, citing the example of successful anti-VD campaigns during the two world wars to show why a combination of shocking facts and condom provision was necessary and effective. Sadly, his book reveals that many governments are still driven by prejudice, moralising and repression. A homophobic backlash in parts of Africa and the ex-Soviet bloc countries is denying gay men HIV prevention information and deterring them from coming forward for testing and treatment. In Russia, the government's harsh anti-drugs policies are having a similar disastrous impact. India's caste system and the marginalisation of transgender people exacerbates the spread of HIV. Condom provision for sex workers and harm reduction programmes are losing funding in the US.
Fowler concludes with a call to global action: including more funding for prevention programmes (the UK spent less than £5 million in 2011) and for testing, early treatment, needle exchanges and vaccine research; plus the decriminalisation of sex work and improved sex and relationship education to encourage wise, responsible sexual behaviour.
All very good proposals. Are you listening, David Cameron?

Tas passenger rail 'too expensive'
An upper house inquiry has been warned about the high costs involved in developing a passenger rail service for Hobart's northern suburbs.
Tasmania's rail operations will be relocated to the multi-million dollar transport hub at Brighton in the next 12 to 18 months.
The move will result in the decommissioning of the rail line from Brighton to Hobart.
An Upper House inquiry is exploring the idea of using the line for a passenger service.
TasRail Chairman Bob Annells has warned of the high costs involved.
"Everything about running railroads is expensive," he said.
"You just think of a number and put lots of noughts behind it."
Mr Annells told the inquiry that running a freight railroad is fundamentally different to running a passenger service.
He says advice should be sought from a company which delivers a small suburban service.
Ferry plan
The inquiry was also told a commuter ferry service could operate on Hobart's River Derwent for as little as $4 million.
Former Brisbane ferry operator Rick Metcalf has been investigating the logistics of running a venture in Hobart.
Mr Metcalfe says he has already sourced four second-hand ferries from Paris.
He estimates they would cost between $3 million to $4 million to buy and operate in the first year.
Mr Metcalfe says that would cover operational costs including wages and fuel.
Upgrading existing jetties and creating new pontoons would need funding from Infrastructure Australia.

Top 10 Deserving Travel Spots in Vietnam
Regarding countries emerging in the glorious history along with nation's revered heroes, Vietnam will be mentioned in the list by many international tourists. Being a tiny S-shaped area on the world's map, but Vietnam, in the eyes of the tourists, looks like a great icon of the nation's immortal dignity and the national love. Furthermore, this country is also dotted with picturesque and breathtaking natural landscapes and seascapes, which will easily drop into the aim of those who are fond of traveling. The following travel spots may be perfect for their Vietnam tour packages or Vietnam holiday.
Mekong Delta
Mekong Delta Vietnam, also referred to as the Southwestern Vietnam will absolutely excite travellers to understand more the daily life of the river people. An outstanding cultural characteristic here is floating markets, consisting of Cai Rang Floating Market and Cai Be Floating Market. This genre of market is the spot where local people trade and exchange their farming products on the river. How amazing it is! Moreover, they also attain a chance to pay a visit to fruit plantation, experience homestay with the locals, savor the special flavor of coconut candy while witnessing its production at the local mill, listen to "Southern Vietnamese folk music", and other exciting activities.
Ho Chi Minh city
One of the spots to visit in Vietnam is certainly Ho Chi Minh city. Coming to this city for exploration, each tourist is recommended to take a short break to great attractions, such as War Remnants Museum, Saigon Notre-Dame Cathedral, Reunification Palace, Ben Thanh market, Cu Chi tunnels, Saigon Central Post Office, Can Gio, etc. Especially, with Cu Chi tunnels tour, the tourists are allowed to deeply get a sense of the past life of Vietnamese people during the war era.
It's possible to state that Hanoi Capital has appealed more and more tourists to its historical sites. Some of those places will be listed here, comprising Ngoc Son Temple, One Pillar Pagoda, Temple of Literature (aka Van Mieu Quoc Tu Giam), Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hoan Kiem Lake, and Ethnology Museum. Let's think how interesting it is while you may get a chance to savor Trang Tien ice cream, go for a stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake and have delicate feelings when looking back at the Vietnam's past. It's awesome!
Lots of people call Sapa an imposing paradise of the North Vietnam. Why? It is because the poetic scenery will delight travellers and give them an enjoyable feeling. Later, an occasion of exploring remarkable cultural features of North Vietnam's ethnic people is awaiting them at romantic villages of the highland. Some interesting spots of Sapa comprises Muong Hoa Valley, Sapa Love Market, Fansipan Peak, Ham Rong Mountain, and Thac Bac Waterfall, etc.
Hoi An Ancient town
How do you think if taking an opportunity to delight in full moon lantern festival in Hoi An? For sure, it's so awesome! Hoi An, Vietnam is widely known as an ancient town where people may find out the ancient yet romantic beauty of houses, roads, bridges, rivers, as well as its scenes. The full moon lantern festival as above is considered as the most fascinating event here.
Halong Bay
It is not a wise decision to ignore Halong Bay in the journey to uncover the beauty of Vietnam. This marvel was entered to the UNESCO World Heritage list due to its wonderful landscapes and phenomenal caves. While going on a cruise to experience the whole scenery of the bay, the travelers will be wowed by the miraculous scenery inside Sung Sot cave or immerse themselves into the tranquility of fishing villages.
Phong Nha – Ke Bang
Neglecting Phong Nha – Ke Bang is surely the regret travelers can get from the Vietnam trip because this national park is also listed among UNESCO World Heritage sites. The park is depicted as the primeval forest with limestone; especially, it is internationally famous for marvelous caves and the diverse ecosystem. Normally, this travel destination will get explorers excited by its phenomenal beauty.
Trang An
Being a wonderful gift the nature favors human, Trang An, Ninh Binh owns the fabulous charm of spectacular caves, poetic streams, and limestone mountains. Besides, tourists will be very delightful to witness peaceful rice fields at two sides of the long streams.
Nha Trang
To continue the Vietnam trip, tourists will leave for Nha Trang, the Khanh Hoa's capital, which carries the best weather of Vietnam. This small city is hummed in beautiful mountains and imposing beaches, so it's worth a try.
Phu Quoc
Phu Quoc is a fairly tiny island, so it is good for travelers to ride the hired scooter or bicycle to explore the land. Excitingly, clear and breathtaking beaches are viewed as the crucial magnet of this place. In addition, don't forget to admire the bioluminescent plankton at night and savor special food here.

Update on Amber (12 year old with brain cancer) in orange at the bottom.
Monday she will be 11, I do not know how to deal with this. I feel like my world is crashing down around me today. I sit here and look at pictures from when she was a baby and wonder "why", she is such a sweet, caring and smart kid who is so loved, why her? I think about what I was doing 11 years ago at this time, I was getting ready to welcome her into the world and I swore I would do anything I had to to protect her and I have truly failed. The cancer she has will most likely get the best of her within the next year. I am not saying we are not going to do everything we can, but the Dr.'s do not have much hope for her. I have no idea how to deal with this. Right now if you saw her you would not know there was anything wrong with her, she even made the honor roll both marking periods this year, she is having a huge swimming party and is living everyday just like you or I would. I just fear the future. I just needed to vent for a minute.
I just wanted to thank everyone for all the prayers and kind words. I will update as soon as I get the results which will hopefully be on the 31st. Anyone who would like to add the facebook page I made for her is welcome to. I update on there frequently and post pictures. https://www.facebook.com/Prayforamber
EDIT: There are a lot of people wondering what kind of cancer it is, I probably should have put that in the post. She has brain cancer (grade 4 glioblastoma). To clear up any confusion, she had the tumor removed on July 2nd, she went through 33 radiation treatments and will be on oral chemotherapy for 1 year providing that she tolerates it (so far she has tolerated it well). There is only a 3% chance that it will NOT grow back the first year. We are 6 months into this, I think that is why I am so scared. Even if it does not grow back the first year we will have this worry for the rest of her life. Again thank you for all the prayers and kind words. I wanted to add that she had her birthday party yesterday and she had a blast! She got a bunch of gift cards so we are going on a shopping spree one day this week, she is so excited!
Got some great news today! Her MRI came back excellent! We need a few more like this and then we can relax a little bit. This is something that we will always have to be concerned with but I will take any victory we get right now. I think she is going to be in the very small percentage of people who survive this long term. I am feeling very positive right now.
Wanted to give an update since it has been forever. Today was 1 year since her surgery and she is doing excellent. Her next MRI will be on July18th and she is not having any symptoms at all that would make me think it is going to come back bad.
Her scan came back clean :) but she had to stop chemo due to an allergic reaction that she had last month, she only had one round left and the Dr did not seem to be worried about stopping it early. She is not completely out of the woods but this is really great news considering they only gave her a year to a year and a half to live last year. Thank you all for your prayers and support through all of this.
Newest update
I have not updated on here in a really long time, things are not going to great for Amber :( The tumor grew back in October, they removed it and tried a vaccine clinical study. She had another MRI scheduled for Jan 2nd and they found that the tumor had grown back in the same spot so she had it removed again. Jan 22nd (the day after her 12th birthday she had another one removed, they tried a different chemo pill which failed her and the tumor grew back again in Feb. We have decided to stop treatment , the cancer is just too aggressive and is not going to stop growing.
Quoting melakay1981:
She is doing OK right now, but we are starting to see some changes in her that we do not like. Her oncologist said 1-3 months at the most.Quoting Mommytoaangel: Hugs praying for ur family hpw is ur daughter doing

What a great weekend for shooting and being outdoors. I was back in San Jose this weekend to attend a couple events. The first was on Saturday for Scott Kelby's 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk in downtown San Jose. The second event was AIDSWalk San Francisco 2009 on Sunday held at Golden Gate Park. I'll be blogging and posting more pictures from both events soon.
For now, I wanted to share my favorite picture from Saturday. This is one of my entries for Scott Kelby's Photo Walk contest where he will select a Grand Prize winner and 10 Honorable Mention photos from thousands of participants all of the world who participated in this historic event.

Hello MHF, please help me with this problem
But isnt correct, i'm afraid my substitution is not correct
This is a difficult integral for someone who hasn't learned about u-substitution yet. You're probably aware that the derivative of is . And looking at the other term might eventually lead you to take the derivative of . Once you do that, you should be able to combine the two derivatives to get the expression you want to integrate.
It's probably less work to first learn u-substution, then apply it to this integral. But I guess that's not an option for you.

"Maker spaces in libraries are the latest step in the evolving debate over what public libraries' core mission is or should be. From collecting in an era of scarce resources to curation in an era of overabundant ones, some libraries are moving to incorporate cocreation: providing the tools to help patrons produce their own works of art or information and sometimes also collecting the results to share with other members of the community.
Maker spaces promote learning through play; have the potential to demystify science, math, technology, and engineering; and encourage women and underrepresented minorities to seek careers in those fields.
They also tie in to the growing trend of indie artists in every medium—including books—who are bypassing traditional gatekeepers, taking advantage of new tools to produce professionally polished products, and going direct to the web to seek an audience.
Maker spaces also acknowledge green concerns by reconnecting consumers to the labor involved in producing what they use. While 3-D printers are perhaps the signature offering of Maker spaces, libraries find that low-tech and low-cost opportunities are just as popular."

Teen Sleeplessness Piles On Risk For Obesity
Timothy Paul, Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health
Teenagers who don't get enough sleep may wake up to worse consequences than nodding off during chemistry class. According to new research, risk of being obese by age 21 was 20 percent higher among 16-year-olds who got less than six hours of sleep a night, compared with their peers who slumbered more than eight hours. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends nine to ten hours of sleep for teenagers.)Researchers at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University and the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Public Health are the first to examine the effect of sleeplessness on obesity in teenagers over time, providing the strongest evidence yet that lack of sleep raises risk for an elevated BMI. Results appear in Journal of Pediatrics.
Shakira F. Suglia, ScD, assistant professor of Epidemiology at the Mailman School, and colleagues analyzed health information from more than 10,000 American teens and young adults, ages 16 and 21, as part of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Information on height and weight and sleep was collected during home visits in 1995 and 2001.
Nearly one-fifth of the 16-year-olds reported getting less than six hours of sleep. This group was 20 percent more likely to be obese by age 21, compared to their peers who got more than eight hours of sleep. While lack of physical activity and time spent watching television contributed to obesity, they did not account for the relationship between sleeplessness and obesity.
"Lack of sleep in your teenage years can stack the deck against you for obesity later in life," says Suglia. "Once you're an obese adult, it is much harder to lose weight and keep it off. And the longer you are obese, the greater your risk for health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer."
"The message for parents is to make sure their teenagers get more than eight hours of sleep a night," adds Suglia. "A good night's sleep does more than help them stay alert in school. It helps them grow into healthy adults."
Daytime sleepiness and fatigue are known to affect what and how people eat, by altering appetite and stimulating cravings. Energy levels may also play a role. For the sleep-deprived, ordering calorie-dense fast food is easier than preparing a nutritious meal. Information on what the teens ate was not captured in the surveys, although it could play a role. Future research may look at whether, for example, soda consumption is a factor in sleeplessness and, in turn, obesity. (A 2013 study by Suglia found young children who drink soda are more likely to have behavioral problems.)
Co-authors include Whitney R. Robinson, PhD, assistant professor of Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Public Health, and Seema Kara, MPH, program manager at the Earth Institute of Columbia University and a former student at the Mailman School.
