Citizen’s Report 2014 The Citizen’s Report is a report of the United Nations’ International Commission on Cancer, about the latest epidemiological data from all human cancers, cancers, and cardiovascular disease. Citizens Report is published by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and has been in publication for 15 years. The citizen-analysis team collects data on public health and human rights issues in 50 countries. Citizens Report has expanded to 300 pages, the latest available version is the Citizen’s Report for May 16, 2014 with additional data, this latest versions are available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Indonesian, and Japanese.
What is the impact of pollution on climate change rates? A 2012 report by the International Center for Policy Alternatives (ICPA) and the Institute for Science, Agriculture, United Nations, and Environmental Protection (IESEA) has demonstrated how global emissions from coal, gas, and oil continue to increase in the near future in almost every field. In 2007–2009, coal power was expected to reduce its emissions by 14% as compared to 1990, resulting in a reduction of 7.5 billion tonnes of CO 2 , or 17% compared to 1990. Gas power, on the other hand, grew over the same period by 3%. To avoid the increase in emissions, increased production required increased efficiency, to the extent of eliminating the increase in emissions. But an increase of only 1%, to 14%, in coal from 18% to 30% decreased net demand by approximately 6.7 billion tons, to 3.3 billion tons less, while the reduction in the amount that carbon-emitting human beings emit was 8 billion tons.
What will happen to low and middle-income China? One option, which has been widely used as a model and can be seen here , is the establishment of a carbon levy. If the country has no significant policy action on climate change (particularly to promote better transportation network, energy security, and other priorities) the levy could be implemented, and the carbon price would be lowered. But China’s environmental leadership would not be able to afford such measures in a serious, public way (particularly at a time when there is much talk about its role in the Chinese economy), and China’s greenhouse gas emissions over its lifetimes would not be an issue (unless the government makes some serious commitments to reduce emissions to that level before 2020, not including a $15 billion dollar new cap on carbon production).
In its second report, ICSEA points out that no country on Earth has done more to improve its climate than China ($1,000 billion per year to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15 to 25%; equivalent to taking in $1.5 trillion to combat carbon pollution in 20 years), and that the government in Beijing has taken action in five, since the country made a series of key climate change agreements in 2011 (the Kyoto Protocol, the Reducing Atmospheric Atmospheric Water Pollution Agreement, and the U.N.-Arab League Agreement on Sustainable Development).
The ICSEA’s latest report is based on two sources: a paper published in December by the University of Iowa’s Center for Global Climate Solutions and Climate and Development, and a presentation given at the 2013 Climate Conference in Beijing (see here ). These two sources were able to identify 10 of the key areas where China’s commitment to reducing their emissions – which will include action in new energy policies and, where and how China considers the future, to improve energy security – is the most important. In the three areas covered here, the China Global Action Network, China Global Strategy Foundation, Climate Action Network (CANA) and CAGEN, released estimates that were published last October by Global Alliance, the Global Policy Forum and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The most recent of these findings, released recently by WIPO (a global policy group of the World Bank), is based on an analysis by the Council on Global Affairs of the 2010 Summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation. The report is made available in both languages (Chinese and English), and includes a full list of countries covered by the report on all of its main points and their responses, including the role of its members, the most important focus areas, the extent to which China is in an alliance with other developing countries, and the various initiatives undertaken by its leaders. Also from this report, is the recent statement issued by China on its climate commitments by the U.N. Conference of the Parties’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) (see here ).
For the rest of the report, the findings in these two sources are summarized, and the report is available in Chinese and, thus, is a good source for all global and regional perspectives on China. There are, however, two other topics worth discussing, specifically energy market reforms, and China’s stance on international cooperation and development. The first is energy security: China has proposed to require a minimum 100 gigawatts of renewable gas (GWh), to become the primary energy source for the world’s countries, and to allow 20% of that to be converted into electricity. The second focus is to facilitate development of renewable energy power, which the CAGEN report shows can “enhance the resilience and resilience to climate change”. An energy system designed around energy security, such as nuclear energy, will need to be ready and feasible
How does this increase in emissions compare with the increase in warming in the industrial era? One of the more notable findings of the report, which was published from 1998 to 2006, is that while GHGs continue to exceed 0.9% by the end of the 1980s, that number has reached 4%. In a similar manner, the number of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere has increased by 2.9 million over the ensuing 25 years, to an extent equivalent to the number of industrial plants producing about 1% of all all the greenhouse gas that exists. This number will not be significant as it can be extrapolated from historical observations of the number of industrial plants producing as much CO 2 as the total production of all the greenhouse gas that exists in the atmosphere, but is still less than the CO 2 concentration present in the atmosphere at the average levels that we take today.

An analysis of the 2015 Global Atmospheric Research Program National Climate Assessment (GARPA) (2015) shows the following trends as seen in the 2015 CEA Report:
In 2014 and last year, emissions increased 3.1%, 2.7%, and 1.9% during an increase in the GHG (GHG concentration). In 2015, emissions increased slightly from 5.8% to 7.1%. During the same period 2015, CO 2 concentrations increased slightly. Carbon dioxide emissions
Vet Research’s Vets’ Day Program for April 2014 The U.S. and UK are partners in the Veterans Health Administration’s Vet Research Foundation. There are 2 major projects: the second project, through Valspar’s Project for National Merit, and the third, through the Vet Center for Research and Engagement. The project will be open until April 20, 2015 as a biennial research project, at the Veterans Medical Center near Bethesda, Maryland. There will be no annual meetings so no public information will be released until the project is complete, and when the project concludes.

Eurofins has multiple locations in the US that need to stay connected at all times via the internet. Eurofins has 1 main Datacenter in the U.S. which is located in Des Moines, Iowa. All sites must maintain a secure network connection to this site (Des Moines – Thornton Office) in order to receive Email, Active Directory Updates, or to use the Verizon international WAN gateway to access France, Germany, China, Brussels, Ireland, or the U.K.
Project ApproachRouteThe Route adopted for completion of this project is a start-to-finish route. This means that the final product would be delivered and installed at a time, instead of phases. The product would then be tested on site for a span of time to check its performance.
DeliverablesThe deliverables include the system with the necessary documentation of he project as well as manuals for the new system.Also the project would be installed and the staff responsible for using and maintaining the software would be given adequate training on how to use and maintain the system.
Project Life Cycle PhasesBelow are the phases of the life cycle:Planning PhaseDesign PhaseIterative Code/Test/Release PhasesProduction PhasePost MortemPlanning PhaseThe Vision of this project is to avoid incidents of outage, by adding redundant and low cost backup connections to each site. This is the short term strategy going to be adopted in order to solve the problem.
The Scope of the project is going to be totally internal with no external vendors being hired for the purpose. All programming of the new routers will be handled by Eurofins Scientific employees. There is going to be no scope for any type of outsourcing in the project.
Apart from that it is mandatory that all hardware must be Cisco compliant. The project will culminate with the installation f the new system.DeliverablesFunctional SpecificationRisk AssessmentDesign PhaseThis phase specifies exactly the components needed to deliver all items in the functional specification. Our design methodology includes a 3-tier design:
Installation Phase Ð- The Cisco Router(s) will be installed in this phase. Apart from that all the hardware installations as well as required software will be installed.
Configuration Phase Ð- The hardware installed will be configured to ensure that it meets the requirements of the company.Testing Phase Ð- This phase is going to ensure that the configuration has taken place properly. This is going to be quite detailed and a dry run would be carried out before the actual implementation.
