And it is never tested on animals only on happy clients.
I created this product line based on the needs of the professional as I am also an airbrush tanner based in South Florida. I understand the challenges better than anyone that we all have always trying to find that "perfect" solution, because I too was in your shoes over the years. I was stocking so many different blends (which got expensive) because one just never seemed to have all the factors that I was looking for or seemed to universally work well on all of my clients. I felt that needed to be changed so I created the best spray tan solutions I could for my clients and for my business needs. All pictures are actual clients sprayed with Perfect Glow Sunless
I started getting inquiries from spray tanners all across the world asking me what solution I was using as they loved the color. I decided to make it available to other professionals and it has been getting 5 star reviews! Many professionals say that their business has increased greatly since they switched to Perfect Glow Sunless. They are now able to offer that DARK and BROWN tan that they have been searching for yet still able to offer a natural color for their fairer clients with a fantastic fade.
These blends will achieve the perfect color on any skin tone and undertones but also has other important qualities in an organic based spray tan solution. It dries quickly so your clients are not tacky and are extremely comfortable after being sprayed. The session time will be shorter since they can get dressed quickly (Allowing you to book more clients) It is also virtually odorless so you will not have that typical dha smell as found in many other products. The longetivity and fade is exceptional and will last a long time for your clients with proper aftercare. People are amazed that with Perfect Glow Sunless they can be on day 5 of their tan and still have great color!
Perfect Glow Sunless spray tan training is also available. Thank you for stopping by and hope you decide to try Perfect Glow Sunless and see how it can benefit your business needs.

I run a graphic design company and I'm looking for a reliable host that offers vps. my requirements are php 5, mysql, etc.
Do you have experience with systems administration via the command line?
If not, you'd be better off with managed vps hosting which will narrow your options.
What budget do you have?
Do you need a control panel?
Adding to Matt's concerns, I'm leary of hosts which don't post their daemon versions or prices. I didn't check the one offered in #3 but watch out.
I guess it's time to revive my checklist for searching for a new host:
Alternately, save yourself some time and look at WebHostingBuzz where I've got three accounts (and NO problems). I highly recommend them (although I've got a shared, specialty and dedicated accounts, not a VPS, but I've got it well bracketed)!Quote:

1. Requirements for me are Linux, Apache 2.4.x, PHP 5.3.x (or 5.4.x would be nice), MySQL 5.x, SSL, and dedicated IP addresses.
Additional requirements are, having the option to upgrade those above services when needed or add additional programs such as Ruby.
2. I know right now VPS would be fine. Most likely manged because to be honest, I'm not entirely sure on what all is required to manage your own server. (I'll have to research more on that).
3. cPanel, and WMH i'm familiar with.
4. I work with the popular CMS's such as Wordpress, Joomla, etc. I may also work with a shopping cart program such as Magento.
5. I'm in the Chicago area, but my current host gives me a choice on which data center to use for best performance.
From my experience, (managed) VPSs are updated every day to use the latest STABLE (non-"bleeding edge") OS and daemon updates. You can also load any software you need whenever you like.
I will never manage my own server because I don't have access to the massive variety of tools required nor am I available 7/24/365¼ to monitor services for proper functioning nor to actively stop an ongoing hack attack (a DDoS attack would probably deny me access, too). IMHO, you need a "round-the-clock" staff to manage your own server whether it's a dedicated server or VPS.
cPanel/WHM is the way to go though, that'll meet all your needs, and well, cPanel is the best.
Personally I do like to know how long the host has existed, research complaints against them, and go through a checklist similar to DKLynn's. If the OP is familiar with the command line then cPanel/WHM are not necessarily the best options as they can really limit what you are able to do with your VPS.
I prefer a self managed VPS where I can install WebMin on it. WebMin is a powerful open-source program for server management. It does a similar role to cPanel however you are free to configure it as you see fit. In this setup you can also use secured SSH to tunnel and then use the command line, filezilla, or Ecipse to manage your websites.
If you are new to the hosting industry i would recommend to go with the reseller account - if you pick a good provider you have the support of the provider to help you out.
Managed VPs could be a great solution as well, with cPanel /WHM backend .
http://intovps.com is a good vps provider. I have a vps server with them. I created a support ticket and got a response within 5 minutes. Fastest I've ever received a response.
advice for you , when you find a company ask thier custtomrs first . i learned that .
Customers and their reviews/testimonials could be a good starting guide to evaluate hosts' reputation.
Good luck!

Oak Park crime drops by 12 percent
Police chief credits citizen involvement, police intelligence
Oak Park saw the lowest level of crime in almost 30 years in 2010, according to annual crime stats released by the police department on Friday.
Overall, 1,904 crimes were investigated by local police last year, a 12-percent drop from 2009. Police Chief Rick Tanksley attributed the dip to the willingness of village residents to get involved — reporting suspicious incidents, attending community meetings, etc. — along with aggressive police work. Those efforts included local cops partnering with neighboring towns, following patterns in frequently occurring crimes, and posting officers in certain spots to deter criminals.
Still, there were a handful of serious crimes in Oak Park last year — e.g. the murder of a village resident in his garage before leaving for work, and a purse robber firing a gun at a good Samaritan. But Tanksley said the village hopes to keep communication channels open with the public to assure that perceptions match the reality that crime is declining.
"This is the lowest crime rate in many years, but all it takes is a couple of serious incidents, which will cause people to question their safety," he said, later adding, "This is the lowest crime in 30-odd years. So I think we have to put [these statistics] in perspective."
The most frequent crime in Oak Park last year was theft, with 1,268 incidents, a 5-percent drop from 2009. The second most frequent was burglaries, which dropped by 34 percent from the previous year, to 380.
Police made a concerted effort over the summer to make sure police were in plain sight to help deter crimes such as bicycle thefts, Tanksley said. Local police conducted undercover stings, too, and were able to catch some serial bike thieves.
The number of arrests made by the Oak Park Police Department, 276, dropped by 24 percent last year, which could be partly attributable to the lower incidence of crime. Tanksley, who would like to see that number higher, said it could also be because some criminals were arrested for committing multiple crimes.
About 75 percent of arrests involved the top crimes in the village — burglary and theft.
Juvenile crimes were also fewer in 2010, with arrests down by 17 percent compared to the previous year. Tanksley said that could be attributable to the township's Youth Interventionist Program, along with involvement from teachers and school counselors, too.
A recent and still ongoing survey, conducted by students at the University of Illinois at Chicago, found that 72.5 percent of people who have interacted with the Oak Park Police Department were "very satisfied." That, along with the declining crime rate, made for a solid year for local police, said the chief.
"We can take an aggressive approach toward crime and addressing those quality-of-life issues that we cherish here in Oak Park, but we also do it in a professional manner," Tanksley said.
Village Manager Tom Barwin and President David Pope could not be reached for comment Friday or Monday. But in a village press release, Barwin said the "partnership" between residents and police helped lead to the drop in crimes.
"Oak Park's focus on policing at the neighborhood level has created an effective crime-fighting partnership that is reflected in the data," Barwin said.

From what understand no victims of crimes were included in the study. also, with 1904 crimes and 276 arrests, the clearance rate is about 30%. That is 70% of the crimes go unsolved. River Forest announced a program for a digital computer face recognition system at Lake and Harlem. Oak Park announced at the same time the old whistle blowing campaign. Then there are those pesky unsolved murders, as well as an unsolved child kidnapping.

There's too much spin in this article. Thefts may be down, but assaults are up. http://www.oak-park.us/News/News_Releases.htm A 12% decrease overall, but a 26% increase in assault/battery. Yes, lets put the statistics in perspective. How many people were assaulted here in 1981?

Less cops to catch crooks, less crime gets in the books. More pressure to gloss the crime, more massaging of numbers this time.

I believe there are less arrests because there are less policemen. My daughter's bike was stolen. I did not bother to call it in.

OK Yabba - Crime is 100% up in my household - my kid got attacked, knocked off his bike and his bike was stolen. So while I'm happy crime is down overall, it's not in my household.

From the Publisher The year is 1903, and Charlie Sutherland, a sixteen-year-old orphan, is on the run. Three years earlier, he was sent by Dr. Barnardo''s Home in England to work on the remote Alberta homestead of Albert and Buck Brooks. Charlie has been treated poorly by the two brothers, but he has endured. However, when Albert dies under curious circumstances, and Buck accuses him of murder, Charlie has no choice but to run. He ends up in Frank, a coal-mining town in the Rocky Mountains. Once in Frank, Charlie finally finds friendship and a sense of belonging and self-worth--emotional qualities that had eluded him as a mere "Home boy." His new best friend is another English boy, who has recently received the deed to a homestead and is working to save for supplies. Things change dramatically, however, when--as the local aboriginals have for centuries predicted it would--the mountain walks. In this true event of April 29, 1903, Turtle Mountain collapses, burying a portion of the town. What Charlie does next is determined by the lessons he''s learned from those he''s become close to, the hard-working immigrants and colorful Canadians who struggled against all odds to populate the West.

Jez thanks fans after excellent take-up
Wolves can today reveal an Early Bird take-up of 10, 308 supporters renewing their season tickets for the 2014/15 season.
That figure represents an 88 per cent renewal rate, with the Early Bird scheme having been open to 11,770 existing season ticket holders.
This is the second highest renewal percentage of the 13 years the Early Bird scheme has been run.
The figure compares to 9, 036 supporters who renewed their season tickets via Early Bird last year, when with the 'Extra Time' window the offer was open to all supporters.
The Early Bird renewal rate of 57 per cent last year was the lowest since the scheme was launched in 2002.
Further sales in the summer and then via the Half Season Ticket scheme pushed the figure up to the 11,770 existing holders eligible for the Early Bird this year.
"I would like to thank all those season ticket holders who have renewed their tickets for the 2014/15 season via the Early Bird scheme," said CEO Jez Moxey.
"To reach an 88 per cent renewal rate is testament once again to the loyalty of our supporters and also their belief and optimism in the new direction of the team.
"Kenny and the staff have done an excellent job building a new and fresh team and from talking with supporters we know fans are enjoying the season so far.
"We also know there is still a very long way to go, importantly this season and in future yearsas well,but everyone connected with Wolves now has reason to be optimistic and excited about what lies ahead.
"The Club can only be successful with the fans' support which has been tremendous so far this season, not only in terms of the numbers home and away, but also in the manner of the vocal backing given to a young and developing team. This has given them the opportunity and belief to play their football free from any added expectation or pressure.
"The fans' support is being discussed among the players much of the time, and they want to reciprocate with good performances and plenty of wins.
"We've had a couple of disappointing results since the team broke the club record by achieving nine successive victories. But, with ten games remaining we're in a good position although we haven't achieved anything yet. To achieveour objective requires hard work, dedication, professionalism and a bit of luck along the way!
"So once again a big thank you not only to those who have renewed their Season Tickets but all of our supporters for that tremendous backing which is very much appreciated."
*With the Early Bird scheme now closed, all supporters can now purchase a season ticket for next season via the 'Join The Pack' scheme. Click here for details.

A very good 3rd person sneaker filled with action, suspense, and with enough missions to hold you attention for several days.
Would have benefited from a little more graphical polish, but the weather and lighting effects do create a strong atmosphere. [Dec 2002, p.122]
Control of the camera can be problematic at times, ranging from a minor distraction in some situations to a major problem in others.
The game isnt about guns, action, blood and mayhem. Its a game dealing with stealth in its purest form.
As mentioned earlier, the first couple of hours are novel and motivating, but the next twenty, through four major missions, are much less involving.
With outdated graphics that showcase choppy animations and low-resolution textures, and below average audio, plagued by horrible voice acting, the games presentation fails.
No, you never, ever get a weapon. All you do is creep around avoiding conflict. This is supposed to be suspenseful. It's not. It's tedious. [Jan 2003, p.102]

MafiaGuyNov 30, 2003After I completed all 5 chapters, I thought: Prisoner of War is the perfect stealth game.
Apr 7, 2014In this game the core element is sneaking. Sometimes its engaging, but sometimes its frustrating, but the developers were kind enough to lend you some passwords in case you want to give up on it. The idea is amazing, POW camps , escape planning and missions , all full of suspense. But what's not very good is that the game uses a really unrealistic fast time-lapse, that barely gives you enough time to operate during missions, learn guard movements, making the entertaining move-around way to unpleasant sometimes. Other than the slightly hard difficulty, this game is entertaining, exciting, and based on some fresh, well crafted idea. The graphics and the controls does have some minor problems , but its something you can get used to. The game is a nice approach from a new perspective, that you should definitely revisit once in a while.… Expand
RafalP.Oct 25, 2002Great sound, great idea and a great game. Mouse sensetitvity can be annoying, and enemy A.I is generally very good. The graphics meet the average to great standard. All in all a good ww2 game.… Expand
ShawnH.Oct 18, 2005I've only made it to the 2nd chapter, but I am already bored. Getting through each level involves little more than learning the proper path to take in the camp, and then learning how to avoid being spotted by guards. That's pretty much it. Graphics are good and the voice acting is decent. Just a little too tedious for my tastes.… Expand

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton says she will decide whether to run for president again "when it feels right for me to decide." She says potential Democratic rivals are free to choose what they would like to do.
The former Secretary of State says in an interview with ABC News that she is focused on promoting her new book and helping fellow Democrats in the midterm elections in the fall.
She says she will be "on the way to making a decision" by the end of 2014.
Clinton says other Democrats are free to do whatever they would choose to do.
Asked whether she will testify before a select congressional committee investigating the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi, Libya, Clinton says that will be up to the people running the hearing.

Product description
In the shamanic worldview of Tibet, the five elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space are accessed through the raw powers of nature and through non-physical beings associated with the natural world. In the Tibetan tantric view the elements are recognized as five kinds of energy in the body and are balanced with a program of yogic movements, breathing exercises, and visualizations. In these Dzogchen teachings the elements are understood to be the radiance of being and are accessed through pure awareness. "Healing with Form, Energy, and Light" offers the reader healing meditations and yogic practices on each of these levels. Tenzin Rinpoche's purpose is to strengthen our connection to the sacred aspect of the natural world and to present a guide that explains why certain practices are necessary and in what situations practices are effective or a hindrance. This is a manual for replacing an anxious, narrow, uncomfortable identity with one that is expansive, peaceful, and capable. And the world too is transformed from dead matter and blind processes into a sacred landscape filled with an infinite variety of living forces and beings.

American manufacturers labored under mostly sunny skies the past summer. Ample evidence supports this, including the following stats:
Americans have long been skeptical of European ideas. After all, the American Revolution was, in part, about separating from "Old Europe" and its allegedly antiquated thinking.
Being power-hungry is pretty much a bad thing. Action films are full of megalomaniacs who want to rule the world, inevitably making life difficult for everyone else.
Doctors have used X-rays to peer into the human body since the late 1890s. After World War I, the U.S. Army started using it to inspect welds in armor plate, followed by manufacturers using it to inspect parts and machinery. Since then, industrial radiography has evolved to the point that few secrets about the internal structure of manufactured parts can remain undiscovered.
Parkinson's patients and chronic pain sufferers are often treated with implantable pulse generators to stimulate the brain and central nervous system. Those with heart conditions may have a defibrillator placed inside their chest. The deaf are fitted with cochlear implants, while some people with eye conditions find relief through implanted intraocular lenses. These are but a few of the medical devices that would be nearly impossible to manufacture without micromolding technology and biocompatible materials.
Handling a delicate part is always a challenge, especially when the part is so thin that a handling device could mar its surface or contort its shape.
The smaller the endmill diameter, the higher the price of the tool. There is a reason for that—micro-endmills are a breed all their own. The smaller the diameter, the more precise the endmill needs to be. Tolerances are tighter, increasing the level of difficulty in manufacturing a micro-endmill.
Airlight Energy, a Switzerland-based supplier of solar power technology, has partnered with IBM Research, Zurich, to bring a solar technology to the market by 2017 that can generate solar electricity, capture thermal energy and produce potable water.
For the sixth year in a row, Corp! magazine named Seco Tools LLC one of "Metropolitan Detroit's 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For," for providing a highly motivating and rewarding work experience to employees, the company said.

Development Cooperation
Since 1996, EPTISA has had a branch specializing in development cooperation, bringing together knowledge from different sectors with specific methodologies
The areas of activity are social, urban and rural development, regional and local economic development, environment and sustainability, water and sanitation, public policy and governability.
Eptisa's main activities run from technical assistance to international cooperation projects, programmes and policies to the performance of studies and workshops related to training issues.
The main geographical zones where this activity is carried out are Latin America, the Mediterranean and the sub-Saharan countries.
The international issues play a vital role for us because of the different levels of development, cultures and prospective evolution. Eptisa knows that is not always easy to export the national experience and using particular approaches while facing other realities is required.
In Eptisa, we put effort into generating the specific culture of regionally differentiated "development" allowing us to implement better adapted strategies, which in practice means a specific philosophy of action.
Eptisa now provides technical assistance to projects and programmes in all geographic areas, has carried out more than forty interventions, has an average of 20 experts outdoors for a long term period, and carries out over 120 specific technical assistance missions a year.
International cooperation continually undergoes changes in both conceptual and instrumental terms. Faced with this reality, Eptisa tries to provide an up-to-date and in some cases innovative response to the new challenges posed by the international scenario.
Eptisa is now a point of reference in multilateral fund management and works with the main international development agencies

Thomas William Lyster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas William Lyster (1855-1922) was director of the National Library of Ireland in Dublin between 1895 and his retirement in 1920.[1][2]
Lyster joined the library in 1878 and was appointed as its director in 1895. He was also a scholar who translated Düntzer's Life of Goethe in 1883 and edited a poetry schoolbook, the Intermediate School Anthology.[2]
Although a member of the Church of Ireland, he was used by James Joyce as the model for a "quaker librarian" in his novel Ulysses. An whimsical account of him is given in Oliver St John Gogarty's As I was Going down Sackville Street when Gogarty visits the national library.[3] In this book Lyster is very solicitous of the various needs of the readers in the library.

You might have noticed ECO is having some targeted bilateral discussions in these pages. Today is with Norway. Time and time again we have reminded Parties of the urgent need to clarify the content of the pledges put on the table by developed countries.
On this issue, Norway has been an unwavering ally, and its credibility has been boosted by the transparent clarification of its own pledges. And no wonder, Norway regularly leads the league tables on transparency.
Throughout these negotiations, Norway has repeatedly made clear that out of its total emission reduction target of 30-40% emission reductions by 2020, about two-thirds will be achieved through domestic measures. But rumours have reached distant Durban that prominent political figures now want Norway to backtrack on this promise to the international community, by abandoning its pledge to achieve two-thirds of its target domestically.
So, Norway, that's why we are having this little chat. You of all countries should not have to be reminded that promises are made to be kept, and levels of ambition should increase rather than decrease. Nothing could be more damaging to a country's credibility in these negotiations than the perception that it is not taking the necessary action back home.
The world expects from Norway's own position that its plans and policies will keep the promise of meeting at least two-thirds of its 2020 target through domestic action. What we don't need is another Annex I country running away from its responsibilities. As Norway asks other countries to clarify their pledges, Norway should clarify whether it is a leader or an also-ran when it comes to reducing its own emissions.

If Durban is to be at least somewhat successful then Saturday's release of the BASIC Experts paper on fair-shares global effort sharing will be recognized as a key breakthrough. That can help decide a 2nd commitment period for the KP while putting on the agenda serious consideration of a next generation mandate that's fair enough to support real ambition.
The BASIC Experts paper does not pretend that the global carbon budget hasn't already been essentially exhausted. Nor does it say that development-as-usual is still a viable option and we can muddle along with bottom-up accounting and a bit of technological optimism. These are things that just can't happen if we actually intend to stabilize the climate system. But in addition,
developmental justice is a precondition of high ambition, and this report does foresee that soon we'll be ready to face this bottom-line reality.
The BASIC authors can be commended for illuminating the salient core of the climate-equity debate. That outcome has clearly involved compromise, and it has clearly had a cost. For example, the paper focuses on a 2000-2050 global emissions budget of 1440 Gt CO2, one that many among us view as dangerously high.
All the same, the benefits of compromise are also visible. The authors were able to mark out a first-order consensus that, while vague, indicates a way forward. If 'equity' is defined as the human right to sustainable development, then only two approaches to a global fair-shares reference framework – cumulative per-capita budget sharing and "responsibility and capacity index" based effort sharing – are at all promising, and the BASIC paper clearly moves these two approaches forward.
There certainly are problems as well. The report, for example, gives almost no attention to economic stratification within countries. Even South Africa, while speaking for an approach that includes economic capacity as well as historic responsibility, passes too lightly over that subject. But all told it's the accomplishment here that are highly notable. The BASIC Experts report is a signpost to the debate that's actually needed.

Durban 2011 - COP17 started last Monday, bringing together delegates from the parties to the climate convention (UNFCCC) and global and civil society organisations. For us, from Africa, the most vulnerable continent to the adverse impacts of climate change, the expectation is clear: reach an agreement that will help our poor communities to adapt, whilst maintaining their livelihoods through a sustainable climate funding regime. Indeed, none of the commitment were respected by Annex 1 countries in terms of finance or emissions reduction objectives. And even if the world's global emissions are under control, we have no guarantee that the current impacts, from the historical emissions, will be reduced. Floods, droughts, and sea-level rise will increase. The situation is becoming worse since some countries have announced their intention to no longer support the Kyoto Protocol, the only binding agreement we have in the UNFCCC process. This is really bad news for the developing countries that are not responsible for the increase of GHG and global warming but are suffering from the adverse impacts to their livelihoods and environment.
So my expectation from these Durban talks is, fundamentally, on institutional arrangements for an efficient, sustainable and scaled-up financing system to help developing countries implement their adaptation programs.
To attain this objective, I'm participating in the process as one of the new recruits to CAN's capacity building fellowship programme for civil society in the global south. My aims are threefold:
1. to mainly focus on advocacy directed at developing countries delegates;
2. to campaign against Annex1 countries who are blocking positions;
3. and to share critical information with developing countries delegates to help them to understand the loopholes contained in the negotiations texts.
As a delegate of the African civil society organisations, I will be sharing information I gather from the negotiations with the thousands of African populations who didn't get opportunities and/or resources to attend this meeting. To communicate this information I will use Climate Action Network (CAN), the Climate and Development Network mailing list, the Guinean Adaptation Group, the Guinean Sustainable Development NGOs Forum, the mailing list of the national Climate Development Mechanism, and my personal blog (kobele.blogspot.com).

In Cancun, Parties decided that CCS is eligible in the CDM – provided that certain issues such as leakage and liability are resolved. As delegates are negotiating the details of modalities and procedures for this very questionable project type, it looks like Big Fossil is winning once again. This despite the fact that the viability of CCS as a mitigation technology has yet to be proven.
Here in Durban, only a small number of developing countries have raised concerns about the potential long term impacts of CCS. All others have remained suspiciously silent (hello small islands of the world – where are you?) or are eagerly approving paragraph after paragraph. Somehow it doesn't seem likely that they really wanted to negotiate night and day to ensure that the fossil fuel industry gets yet another cash cow to milk!
The current text does not exclude "enhanced oil recovery" – EOR. This is a method to increase the amount of oil that can be recovered from an underground oil reservoir. By pumping CO2 underground, previously unrecoverable oil can be pumped up. This can increase the recoverable oil by 30 to 60%. Once all of the oil has been pumped, the depleted reservoir is used a storage site for the CO2.
On top of the huge profits from the sale of oil and the large fossil fuel subsidies, oil producers could make millions by selling CDM credits for the CO2 they store. Dear delegates, please get your priorities right! CCS in the CDM is unproven at commercial scale with plenty of scientific uncertainties. More work needs to be done for these lingering issues to be resolved. We do not need yet another loophole for generating carbon credits. Before rushing into setting up a new source for millions of carbon offsets, you might want to get yourselves some QEROs first!

We cannot afford to wait any longer to begin serious mitigation efforts. The emissions reductions pledged in the Cancun Agreement currently set the world on a trajectory for a 4.3° C temperature increase by 2100. According to the new UNEP "Bridging the Gap" report, an additional 6 to 11 Gt CO2 in emissions reductions are needed in order to reach a 2° C goal. The good news is, UNEP shows how to reach the goal with economically and technologically feasible solutions, though the timeframe for success is narrow. If rigorous action is postponed until 2020, success will drift beyond our reach.
Without political incentives to invest in alternative energy, governments will continue to rely on fossil fuels to meet growing energy demands, locking in carbon intensive technologies over the next eight years. According to the International Energy Agency, for every $1.00 avoided in the power sector before 2020, an additional $4.30 would need to be spent after 2020 in order to compensate for the increased emissions. Of course, any shortfall in mitigation will drive up adaptation costs and real impacts on lives to a much greater degree.
We need to give our world time for the transition to a low carbon economy. Emissions must peak by 2015 and sharply decline thereafter. The task is formidable. According to UNEP, "the highest average rate of emission reductions over the next four to five decades found in the [integrated assessment model] literature is around 3.5% per year." But based on the C-ROADS model, emissions reductions would need to decline even more, at a rate of at least 4% per year between 2020 and 2050 to reach the 2° C target – a ramp-down rate well beyond historical experience.
Time is of the essence. Clifford Mahlung, a delegate from Jamaica, said, "We've already waited too long. I know countries need a little more time to get over their economic woes -- but eight years?" And we need to agree strong package here in Durban to launch that effort now, as the climate clock is running faster and faster.
