ACT Alliance believes that climate policies should emphasise human rights and solidarity with the world's poorest people.
ACT calls on every country to be fully accountable, and for climate policies to enhance sustainable development.
The alliance believes climate change should be tackled on the basis of shared but different levels of responsibility: countries that have an historic responsibility for climate change must also be the ones making the biggest efforts to combat it.
ACT is working on many fronts around the world
Raising awareness of the scientific, moral and legal issues at stake.
Challenging political leaders to minimise the negative impact of climate change on the world's poorest people so that they can lead lives that are more secure and less vulnerable to its devastating effects.
Developing innovative solutions – ranging from the financial to the technical – to address the havoc wreaked by decades of carbon over-consumption and political negligence.
Helping communities in practical ways, through humanitarian and development programmes all over the world, to adapt to climate change – by developing preventative measures such as dams and hurricane-proof housing, and ensuring people have the resilience to recover more quickly when climate-related disasters strike.
As an alliance of over 33,000 people working together to achieve justice for the world's poorest communities who are often harmed the most by climate change our priority is to help people make practical improvements to their living conditions right now. We want to ensure people are as well equipped as they can be to withstand the calamitous effects of climate change.
We focus on adaptation – developing new ways of doing things to accommodate changing climatic conditions, new farming techniques, for instance, and new ways of building houses.
We also aim to reduce the risks posed by disasters linked to our changing climate, such as growing mangrove forests along rivers to slow down flood waters and protect dwellings built on flood plains. We try to help people adapt their livelihoods so that they are less economically vulnerable when a disaster strikes. We support communities' abilities to recover after they are hit by floods, droughts, famines and other disasters triggered by climate change. And we seek to influence policies to deal with subsequent loss and damage.
ACT promotes a pro-poor perspective towards adaptation policies, programmes and financing that prioritises the most vulnerable people.
Financial compensation
Financial compensation is a key area in any discussion about climate change. Countries with historic responsibility also have responsibility to mobilise compensation to combat the negative effects of climate change. Compensation should be additional (to other forms of funding for climate change programmes), predictable and adequate. The priority should be to direct it to developing countries, especially those with fewer resources and capabilities to face the effects of climate change.
Climate finance will have to come from public budgets and the private sector using innovative financial models. The goal of mobilising US $100 billion in 2020 is likely to fall short of what is needed. It must be acknowledged that the need for funding for adaptation programmes will increase rapidly if ambitious mitigation actions are not taken.
Low carbon development
A global shift towards a new development paradigm that is economically just and environmentally friendly is a pre-condition to keep global warming well below 2 degrees. A global move to low carbon development is the only remaining option for industrialised countries, emerging economies and developing nations. However, low carbon development pathways must respect a development threshold and the equal right of all people to use the environment sustainably.

Pleasant day to everyone,
My online friends calls me speedy_duck but it so happens that someone beat me to that name in here, lol! Despite of it, am still very excited to be here and its my first time on the PS3 scene. Just registered a few minutes ago and hoping in time, I get to meet friendly and helpful people to open my eyes on how fun and exciting to just explore my PS3's potential and never be restricted by SONY to dictate what I should and not what with the unit I have bought from them.
Just recently I just got a JB PS3 for my son's birthday and to I want to prove to my son that even though am a dad already, am still capable to know and learn more from the PS3 JB scene. Aside from it, all I just wanted is to called a cool dad by my son... that simple
Anyway, I just wish I could meet friends here to help me out. Thank you all! Cheers!
PS: Proud owner of a PS3 CFW 3.55

This is a very good, emollient hand cream with an in-part avobenzone sunscreen. It contains some notable antioxidants, though one of them (rosemary oil) is potentially irritating. The amount of rosemary oil is small, however, compared with the benefit you'll get from keeping dry hands moisturized and protected from sunlight, so a Good rating is warranted. Neutrogena and RoC offer hand creams with sunscreen that do not contain fragrant irritants and that cost a lot less.
Deeply nourishing and cell proliferating creme with the rich texture of shea butter. Kojic dipalmitate helps fade discoloration.
Active: Avobenzone (1.5%), Octinoxate (5%), Octisalate (3%), Other: Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Cyclopentasiloxane, Ceteareth-20, Stearic Acid, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Stearyl Alcohol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Vaccinium Myrtillus Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Acer Saccharinum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Kojic Dipalmitate, Carbomer, Potassium Hydroxide, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Limonene, Linalool
Ole Henriksen At-A-Glance
Strengths: The Protect the Truth SPF 50+ Sunscreen is good.
Weaknesses: Expensive; not all-natural as claimed; jar packaging for antioxidant-rich products is pervasive; terribly irritating toners; several average serums and moisturizers, including eye creams; lip balm that contains irritating ingredients.
"Facialist to the stars," L.A.'s "number one face man," and "one of Hollywood's hottest facialists" are but a few of the accolades Denmark-born Ole Henriksen has garnered since he first made a name for himself in Los Angeles back in 1974. Henriksen's skin-care philosophy was, and still is, a mix of holistic teachings, common sense, and, as seen in countless other cosmetic lines (though Henriksen was somewhat of a trailblazer when he started), an affinity for Mother Nature and all she has to offer the skin.
We agree with Henriksen's philosophy that feeling good from the inside can manifest itself on the outside, and we applaud the fact that he admonishes his clients for being too hard on themselves when it comes to their complexions. That bromide loses some of its believability, however, when you realize that Henriksen's products are all about fixing the outside of you, especially the parts with wrinkles, puffy eyes, skin discolorations, and on and on.
For example, all the self-confidence in the world won't change the need for sunscreen or change your genetic propensity for certain skin conditions. Clearly, Henriksen believes that, too, because his skin-care products are meant to help his devotees put their best faces forward. He maintains that his products are different because they are "pure," "natural," and "high performance" products—now really, how often have we heard that? Way too many times, and as is often the case, the products aren't pure or all natural in the least. It turns out that Henriksen's products aren't anywhere close to being all natural. Every product is rife with plenty of unnatural ingredients, most of which are used industry-wide. (That doesn't make them bad, but marketing hype and distortion should not be the basis for making decisions about what skin-care products you use.) In essence, the only unique aspect of this line is Henriksen's ability to charm his clients into thinking that his products are in some way unique and worth the money, when they absolutely are not. A quick review of the ingredient label reveals far more problems than is acceptable for anyone's skin.
Stepping away from the marketing aspect, this product line has way too many missteps to make it interesting or beneficial. While it does contain helpful plant extracts and oils, it is certainly not the only line that includes those ingredients. Sadly, the potency, and yes, even the purity, of many of the good plant extracts are compromised due to his tendency to use jar packaging rather than more stable, airtight options (all plant extracts deteriorate when exposed to air or light). And the amount of irritating plant extracts makes some of his products just hurtful for skin.
Perhaps the saddest part is that a so-called skin-care expert can't even get sun protection right. You place all that trust in someone's expertise and they don't even have the basics down! Henriksen's Herbal Day Creme SPF 15 lacks titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, Mexoryl, or Tinosorb. All the ballyhooed "calming extracts" and "pure botanicals" in the world cannot stave off one wrinkle if your sunscreen lacks sufficient UVA protection. A few of the sunscreens that do provide adequate UVA protection contain skin cell–damaging lavender oil. Sigh. It's not fun when you consistently run into examples in line after line that prove that natural ingredients are not inherently better for skin! Given how many consumers want to use such products, we'd love to offer them some slam-dunk options.
This aesthetician-created line has a few reasonably decent options to consider, but overall the line is not on par with many others. The overwhelming emphasis on "natural skincare" (which, we repeat, this line definitely is not) might sound like it will be good for you, but that is not what you will find here. A company's apparent blindness to the published evidence that many of the natural extracts as well as many of the synthetic ingredients they include are potent skin irritants means you don't want to shop this line through rose-colored glasses.

How Melanoma Spreads
If melanoma grows at the site of the original tumor, it tends to grow in one of two ways:
Radial growth. This means the melanoma spreads horizontally along the top layers of your skin. Most melanomas start growing this way, but some may eventually grow into deeper layers of your skin.
Vertical growth. This means melanoma grows into deeper layers of skin. This kind of growth is more serious and may spread to other parts of the body. Some melanomas grow this way fairly quickly, but most grow along the top layers of skin first for some time.
Melanoma's growth to distant areas of your body is somewhat unpredictable. It tends to spread first to lymph nodes in the area of your original tumor. For example, if the tumor was on your leg, it may spread to lymph nodes in your groin area. But, sometimes, melanoma may spread to distant areas of your body, even if your lymph nodes have not been involved.

As shown in the figure below, the commitments made in 1990-1991 by France, Germany and Japan were disbursed following a very slow pace. The peak in disbursements occurred between 2 and 6 years after the original commitments. This is not necessarily negative as this situation can also reflect long-term scheduled disbursements. However, it would be necessary to check the planned disbursements of the 1990-91 commitments and confront them to the effective disbursements. In 2004, only 1419 millions of USD out of 1646 committed in 1990-1991 were disbursed.
There is thus a several years' lag between commitments and disbursements. It could therefore be expected that disbursements of aid for water will decrease in the next few years to reflect the low levels of ODA for water at the beginning of the 2000s. (See figure : "ODA commitments for water between 1992 and 2004")
If we consider the state of the commitments made by France, Germany and Japan at the beginning of the 1990s (for which we can consider that the projects financed have been finalized) we can observe that the commitments made were not fully disbursed.
Donor countries had difficulty to provide data on disbursements for aid activities, especially for grants. It is only recently that the situation has started to change when it has become technically easier for donors to report oln this data. Since the year 2002, we can consider that data coverage for disbursements is complete. To make some analysis on previous years, data for France, Germany and Japan can be used since longer data series are available and France , Germany and Japan account for over a half of total bilateral aid for water.
Data on disbursements must be interpreted carefully. As there is always some lag between commitments and disbursements, it's difficult to compare commitments and disbursements. It would be necessary to have disbursement data for several years to draw general conclusions about the implementation of the projects in the water sector. Besides, this analysis of ODA disbursements was carried out with data in dollars while disbursements are made in local currency.
However, the analysis of disbursements to the water sector proved interesting.

I was worried about picking up this book because so many people were bashing it as a rip off of 'the giver'. I could not find many reviews that praised this particular story. I have not read the giver so i cannot agree with them, but i did read this book and i can say that i loved it. The structure of the society was not as big a part of the story for me as the events surrounding the characters was.
The book takes place in a dystopian society and you are immersed in it so much that when Cassia begins to open her eyes it is subtle. I really enjoyed that fact because in a lot of YA books the main character is really blunt with their epiphany. I enjoyed the way it was written and how realistic it felt even though the environment is like nothing we have experienced. I am excited for the next installment, but if the book were to end here i would not be dissatisfied. The main character is strong and she really kept the story interesting. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a story of teenage rebellion and strong characters.
The narrator did a great job. No complaints here.
Neverending Story had such a great message for young readers. A story that really makes you understand the consequences of actions while being dressed up in a fantastical adventure story.
I must have watched the movie dozens of times as a child, but I wish someone had made me sit and read the book instead.
I loved it.
"Orange Obsession"
I am absolutely obsessed with Piper Kerman's story. The book is a much more subdued story compared to the Netflix series based on the memoir.
I have had someone close to me in the prison system and felt that I had a good understanding of the hardships facing prisoners, but this story helps to shed light on the issues as well as bond with the characters.
The lessons that Piper learns while doing time are words of wisdom that are applicable to all of us. I enjoy reads like this because it makes me step back and review my choices. I can compare my views to those I have read and ask myself, Am I happy? Could I be doing something better? Am I taking enough risks?
Sometimes perspective is more valuable than an edge of your seat story.
If you just want a fun ride through the prison system, perhaps a Netflix subscription is right up your alley. ;)
Um... Kate is getting a little tedious. This is a peek into Kate's 6 months off from Underworld duty, but nothing actually happens.
They run into people who are fugitives and Kate invokes power that she doesn't possess yet to force Henry into letting these fugitives go. Oh and everything is left without any repercussions.
She is off with a guy who is trying to be more than a friend, she knows it, and yet even though she is a newly wed, she is playing the whole "he is just a friend" thing. So either she is dumb, or selfish.
I already bought book two... I guess i will see what happens in the autumn. :/
"Gaiman is the master of the written word."
I really enjoyed this story, I enjoyed it so much that as soon as I read the last line I started the book over again. Yep, 2 readings in 2 days….skill! Ahem, I mean, it helps that I have the audiobook and Neil Gaiman reads to me as I push papers around my desk.
When I read Coraline, I came into it thinking it was a story for children and I had that mode in my head. There was aspects of that story that were fun and exciting for a child, but when an adult reads it they are kind of freaked out.
Ocean is a book meant for adults, so the darker aspects hit home in a different way. We have all been children. We have all been afraid of the dark or believed that there really were things that were magic. As adults we believe what we can see (or we are supposed to). The fact that the events touched both the adults in the story and the child made it especially frightening. You are lifted out of the story and begin to wonder, is it the imagination of a seven year old trying to cope with what his family is going through, or is this flea real? That uncertainty is what is so exciting about this book. The Hemstock women help keep the story from being too dark. Gaiman does an amazing job of using these women to balance the terror he has invoked with their warmth. Their farm becomes a symbol of refuge and comfort. The young narrator comes to them for help and in Letty he finds a protector.
Letty protects our young narrator, but never explains why she does it. This point in the story begs the question: Was I worth it? I guess what I mean is that the narrator is an adult when we begin the story. He is not at the best place in his life and when these memories begin to rush to him it makes him evaluate if he was worth protecting. Let's take it a step further. When we were children someone protected us. They did this because there was an expectation / hope of the persons we would become as adults. Have we met that expectation? Is that a bar that we should measure ourselves by? Or perhaps they had no motive and just wanted to make us feel safe.
This is why I read Neil Gaiman's books. I get so much more from them than an amazing story. I hope you pick up this novel and that you enjoy it as much as I have.
The only thing more annoying than having to listen to someone describe the smell and taste of wine is having to read about it.
30 minute wine tastings and listening to someone reading in the library day in and day out gets really boring.
I enjoyed the first 5 hours of this book. It is really interesting and well written, but once the main characters begin dating it really drags down the story. It doesn't even have a proper ending. It really leaves the book wide open for the next installment, but if i had loved the story that may have been alright.
Sorry to those who loved it, but i would rather imagine how delicious food is or how beautiful a sunset can be. Don't try and describe every nuance at length for hours on end.
Wonderful job! Really saved the story at times.
"Sacred Blue"
I really enjoyed the story Christopher Moore dreamed up. Bohemian Paris is one of the places i would love to time travel to. Can you imagine it? Painters and writers and can-can dancers drinking to the green fairy. What i love about Christopher Moore, is that he is extremely thorough with his research, look at Lamb.
The actual storyline was just okay, its entertaining and keeps you interested, but it paled in comparison to the amazing world that Moore paints for the reader. You are transported to Paris at a time where some of the most renown painters are friends and you get to peek into their process. What makes them who they are as well as the women who act as muses for them.
I would recommend this story for anyone who has even a small interest in art. Also, the summary makes this sounds like a detective story about the death of Van Gough. Yes, it is, but Van Gough's part is really short. His death is not really a motivating factor, but it is entertaining and has an interesting take on why he cut off his own earlobe.
The narration:
Euan Morton does a great job with the different characters. He was able to distinguish all the men and made the women's voices believable. I like it when the narrator doesn't outshine or hinder the story. Morton did a great job.
"Okay i cannot stress how GRAND this book is!"
I absolutely loved this story. I am not the kind of person who cries at movies or goes awww during romantic moments, but this book is different. I laughed out loud at parts and i did cry a bit... only a few tears, but for me that is huge!
John Green outdid himself with this unbelievably touching story. The characters are amazing individuals who you like immediately. You enter a world where the character's problems are on such a different level that it feels almost foreign and you can lose yourself in it.
I don't want to drone on over every detail because that will ruin its twists and turns for all who read this review so i will keep it brief.
This story reminds us to be present in life and appreciate the things we take for granted. Please read this book, you will absolutely fall in love with it. You will feel for these characters and perhaps see life from a new perspective. Thanks to this story my life, "is a roller coaster that only goes up...." my friends.
Narrator: Did a great job with both male and female voices. The accents sounded authentic. A perfect choice for this book.
"Amazing Narration for this adventure"
I absolutely loved this installment. I had been a big fan of the Mortal Instruments series. Infernal Devices has proved even better! I love the steam punk influence to this familiar story. The mixture of shadow hunters and Victorian manners work really well.
This book really developed the Jem, Tessa, Will triangle. I couldn't settle on who i want her to end up with and i loved every second. Will's backstory is revealed and makes you fall for him even more.
The Narrators really made this story for me!
There is a scene between Will and Tessa towards the end of the book where Ed Westwick deserves some sort of award! I am not sure if it is the words or the way he performed it, but this book has stuck with me the past few days.
Worth a credit! You will not be disappointed.
"Action packed"
War, quests, and prophecies oh my! This book keeps you on your toes. The balance between worlds has really been tipped to the other world in this book, but you feel comfortable. Euginie's character is coming to grips with her gentry side and i feel like we're getting to know storm king though her new outlooks. Jasmine is becoming a bigger part of her sister's life and helping to strengthen that bond with the gentry side.
Her love life is an absolute mess, but what kind of book would it be if there weren't any romantic drama!
Narrator: Great job. I love her performance with each character.
I can't wait for the next book to come out, I am officially hooked. Oh, and the explicit nature of the last books feels a bit toned down in this one. Not by much, but it is toned down.
"No sophomore slump here!"
Eugenie has really grown on me in this book.The other world is becoming a bigger part in Eugenie's life and exploring it is just as enjoyable as the storyline. I love that the character has held true to the person she was in the first book. She cares about the human world, but still does her best to keep the human world safe (and take care of the people in her life).
Kiyo and Dorian are amazing characters, both flawed and strong in their own ways. I really like the flaws in male leads because it keeps you guessing. Who will she end up with? Who is a better choice? What are they hiding? etc.
This series is still a bit sexually explicit for my taste, but the story is so intriguing that i can sit through the uncomfortable parts. This book does have a large chunk of uncomfortable parts involving rape, so i would take that into consideration before buying it.
Narrator: As always Jennifer Van Dyck did an amazing job.
On to book 3, spend that credit!

Thompson to ramp up the difficulty level of the practice exams over a minimum of 60 days. Accordingly, although we do not dissuade students from opting for the "cram" package of only 30 days, pedagologically we cannot guarantee the results as with other, longer packages, and therefore for this cram plan the money back guarantee does not apply.

About 300 students from the four after-school sites participated in the program throughout the 2012-13 school year. To get the program started, Jeter Meter kick-off parties were held in October and November. Representatives from the New York Road Runners brought in numerous games and directed the children in fun running activities. The parties gave the Turn 2 children the opportunity to see that walking and running are fun, healthy activities while bonding with each other.
At each event, the children were able to once again meet with their Regional Coordinator from the Road Runners and learn about the new program goals and incentives for 2012-13. The participants were able to build off important stretching techniques they had learned the previous year and completed a few laps to get things started. Afterwards they were able to play fun games based around physical activities and nutrition. The games gave the participants the chance to discuss ways to live a healthier lifestyle and techniques to incorporate what they had learned in might milers into their ever day lives. Lastly, they learned that their goal for the year would be to run or walk 26.2 miles, or the equivalent of a marathon, throughout the entire year.
Throughout the program year, students use Jeter Meter cards to keep track of their mileage goals. As they reached their goals, the students received incentive prizes including T-shirts, water bottles and medals. For the 2012-13 program year participants have combined to run more than 8,465 miles and will once again exceed their goals set at the beginning of the program year.

Rated 4 out of 5�by LaurenAbq Unique and stylish I reslky love this skirt it's unique n very comforyable while still being excellent quality. If i would be forced to name one thing I would change it would be to make the frill a little shorter but i do lOve this skirt it's a do buy October 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by houseofhauteness Love, love, love this skirt This is the most flattering skirt. The peplum adds a nice touch. The blue is a really pretty hue. It runs true to size and is the perfect look for the cooler months. I am 5'6"/118 and the size small fit great! September 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by gaiya flirty I love the design cause it covers mi tummy (which I will say it's perfect okay to have a bit of) and accentuates the hips. Wish it was slight longer so it can be work appropriate (I'm 5'6" for reference) but it'll work in less formal settings. The material is stretchy which makes the skirt very comfortable.
