 on one-quarter of energy, the biggest final user being transportation and storage.
As regards fuels, the fall was particularly visible in the use of hard coal, the use of which in energy production went down by 22 per cent from last year. The use of peat also fell by eight per cent from the previous year. However, the decrease in the use of fossil fuels was not wholly visible as lower energy use, as part of it was replaced with renewable energy. The consumption of wood fuels went up by one per cent from the year before.
Households' final energy consumption fell by 3.3 per cent, which was particularly visible as a decrease in the consumption of transport fuels and electricity and heat. Households’ consumption of wood was also lower than last year. The change is partly explained by the warmer year that decreased the need for heating.
In manufacturing, final energy consumption went down by 2.7 per cent, which was visible as a decrease in the use of coal and coal products in the manufacture of basic metals. In turn, final energy consumption grew by 1.3 per cent in service industries from the year before. Growth was particularly seen in transportation and storage, where the consumption of fuels used in transport increased by 3.2 per cent from one year ago.
Electricity consumption fell by 1.7 per cent from the year before to 318 petajoules. The consumption of electricity in manufacturing was 1.5 per cent lower than in 2018. Manufacturing used 43 per cent of all consumed electricity. Electricity consumption also declined in service industries by 1.6 per cent from the previous year.
Energy accounts are part of the second stage of the European Union’s Regulation concerning environmental accounts that became legally valid in June 2014 ((EC) No 538/2014). The Regulation obliges the Member States to compile statistics and report annually on energy accounts.
The goal of environmental accounts is to describe the interaction between the environment and the economy by mainly using the same basic concepts and classifications as national accounts (ESA 2010). In the energy accounts, the supply and use of energy are presented in accordance with the industrial classification and domicile principle used in national accounts. Thus, the data of the statistics can be connected to various monetary variables of national accounts, such as total output and value added. The energy accounts’ data on the supply and use of energy can also be combined with the data of the statistics on environmental taxes and emissions into air by industry.
Unlike other statistics on energy, energy accounts also contain the supply and consumption of energy by Finns abroad, in accordance with the framework of national accounts. Correspondingly, the supply and consumption of energy by foreigners within Finland are subtracted from energy accounts. Unlike in the national accounts, statistics describing the physical flows of environmental accounts, including the energy accounts, do not take into consideration global factoryless production and merchanting.
Based on the overall discussion and above pictures of Japanese fashion, Japan can be seen staging itself with amazing style spreading across the youth population while it has been successfully diversifying its fashion. Among the population of Japan, fashion is well- known for its key characteristics. Even though Japan can be seen westernizing, the industry of fashion in Japan also impacts the industry of fashion all across the globe. There has been an evident presentation of the same by several researchers who focused on the industry of fashion in Japan. In Japan, fashion plays a significant role in the society, enhancing the identity of women across their local community or celebrities across the wider community. Not just in clothes, it is well evident in accessories, jewelleries, interiors and even cars. A number of others can be seen promoting sustainable development through fashion.
Key styles of fashion such as wide sleeves, loose voluminous fit, layering and the utilization of fine silks with the motifs of nature, can be considered as major elements for the traditionally dressing style of Western in alignment with the previous fashion designer. Yamamoto, Kawakubo and Miyake, as mentioned previously, were key compatriots for preceding in Paris. Also well- known for progressively designing the cognoscenti of fashion, Miyake was a forward thinker while consistently targeting the overall scope of fashion. The work was firmly rooted with the traditional philosophy of designing in Japan, while he gained significant success in exploring the relationship between traditional western fashion and Japanese apparel.
The fashion of Japan started to revolutionize since the years of 1980s with success initiated by designers like Comme de Garcons, Issey Miyake and Kohji Kamamoto, as they successful expanded their brands, Muji, Uniqlo and Kenz, respectively. During this particular periods, as Japan ended up entering the bubble economy, there was a start of booming DC burando, promoting the concept designer brand and characteristic brands. With respect to this, concepts of design such as insignia were introduced in accordance with the brands of clothing. These were helpful in specifically identifying some fashion designers.
Increasingly, the media sources of Europe observe the undeniable impact of Japan as it aggressively revolutionized its fashion. The designers of Japan, as such, were not obligated to enrich the fashion industry of Europe, however, they still were highly active as they experimented with fabric and shape. This was when Japanese started to innovate in a significant manner. As creativity of the Japanese was acknowledged by the male population of Europe, the link between fashion styles of Japan and western areas were being identified evidently. Irrespective of a number of debates in order to interpret certain designs of Japan, the Japanese fashion designers were successful in defining the new way of dressing in Europe as well.&gt;difference is they arent obligated by law to share user data since they arent based in a totalitarian country. 

There's no difference in reality man. Looks like you missed Snowden and Assange reveals, you missed what Musk allowed us to know about Twitter manipulations with shadow bans and other dystopian manipulations with what people allowed to see and what not.

There's no law in USA, that Twitter or Facebook is a tool of USA government to manipulate people's opinion in different countries, promote regime changes etc, but as a citizen of Russia I assure you, that for many years both are acting exactly as such (well, Trump and Biden's son adventures clearly demonstrate that the same happens in USA also). There's a reason why more and more countries starting to ban USA social networks, and no, the reason is not because they fear 'freedom of speech'. 

TikTok is a target as a social network for the same reasons Kaspersky is targeted as an antivirus or Huawei as a hardware company- because USA is afraid that other countries may do to them what they do themselves to other nations.I probably could have got in a couple more rides but I’d have risked frostbite. What a long and lousy winter. April will be here tomorrow and (fingers crossed) it will be warm. I will get on the bike and there are lots of towns to ride to.
The fifties are promised for this week. In celebration I took the wife and daughter out to eat. I had kibbe and turned down the wonderful cake that my wife had.
Went to poker. This is what I saw on the way home.
Plus I lost at the poker tournament.
I got this notification last night.
All winter I had planned on getting a couple hundred miles in during March. Oh well. Monday it should start warming.
Tomorrow it will be warm. Tomorrow it will be warm. Tomorrow it will be warm.
After breakfast the wife asked if I’d be on the bike. I checked the weather and it was below 30F. I told her I’d wait a couple hours and hit the road. We watched an episode of The Blacklist and let the bacon and eggs digest. Suddenly the windows became opaque and I realized that it was snowing. Within a half hour it was a complete white out. It’s been two hours and it is still coming down.
It it feels more like the end of the season than the beginning. Spring will come. I believe.
As I drove to poker today the sky grew gray and it began to snow. First a few flakes and then heavier and heavier. I’m tired of it.
It is supposed to be in the fifties by the end of the week. I can’t wait.
It isn’t even 20°F out and I’m in a bit of a funk. I think give the bike a nice clean and wax. Give it a once over and dream about better days.&gt; Where I have much less patience is with games like The Witcher, which are already set in fantastical worlds. While the worlds may be based on something like a fantasy Poland or something, it shouldn't be hard to imagine that this world where winged monsters routinely devastate towns that there would also -- feigned shock -- be a person of color.

It's already set in a fantastical world that is founded on being a pseudo-facsimile of our world. To say that it has zero obligation to be like reality is wrong.Who Does What Quiz
Look over the following list and record who you think should be responsible for each chore. If you think it is something a man should typically do, put an “M” in the self column, if you think it is something a woman should typically do, put a “W” down. If you think the task should be shared equally, use an “E”.
Then, ask your partner to do the same, using the partner column.
Now, compare your answers. Where do you agree and where do you differ? Why do you think the way you do? How were things done in your family? Much of what we think and feel comes from our view of gender roles.
