- Upgrade a Cluster to Use TLS/SSL
Upgrade a Cluster to Use TLS/SSL¶
Changed in version 3.0: Most MongoDB distributions now include support for TLS/SSL. See Configure mongod and mongos for TLS/SSL and TLS/SSL Configuration for Clients for more information about TLS/SSL and MongoDB.
A full description of TLS/SSL, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) certificates, and Certificate Authority is beyond the scope of this document. This page assumes prior knowledge of TLS/SSL as well as access to valid certificates.
Changed in version 2.6.
The MongoDB server supports listening for both TLS/SSL encrypted and unencrypted connections on the same TCP port. This allows upgrades of MongoDB clusters to use TLS/SSL encrypted connections.
To upgrade from a MongoDB cluster using no TLS/SSL encryption to one using only TLS/SSL encryption, use the following rolling upgrade process:
For each node of a cluster, start the node with the option
--sslModeset to
allowSSL. The
--sslMode allowSSLsetting allows the node to accept both TLS/SSL and non-TLS/non-SSL incoming connections. Its connections to other servers do not use TLS/SSL. Include other TLS/SSL options as well as any other options that are required for your specific configuration. For example:
mongod --replSet <name> --sslMode allowSSL --sslPEMKeyFile <path to TLS/SSL Certificate and key PEM file> --sslCAFile <path to root CA PEM file>
Upgrade all nodes of the cluster to these settings.
You may also specify these options in the configuration file. If using a YAML format configuration file, specify the following settings in the file:
net: ssl: mode: <disabled|allowSSL|preferSSL|requireSSL> PEMKeyFile: <path to TLS/SSL certificate and key PEM file> CAFile: <path to root CA PEM file>
Or, if using the older configuration file format:
sslMode = <disabled|allowSSL|preferSSL|requireSSL> sslPEMKeyFile = <path to TLS/SSL certificate and key PEM file> sslCAFile = <path to root CA PEM file>
Switch all clients to use TLS/SSL. See TLS/SSL Configuration for Clients.
For each node of a cluster, use the
setParametercommand to update the
preferSSL. [1] With
preferSSLas its
net.ssl.mode, the node accepts both TLS/SSL and non-TLS/non-SSL incoming connections, and its connections to other servers use TLS/SSL. For example:
db.adminCommand( { setParameter: 1, sslMode: "preferSSL" } )
Upgrade all nodes of the cluster to these settings.
At this point, all connections should be using TLS/SSL.
For each node of the cluster, use the
setParametercommand to update the
requireSSL. [1] With
requireSSLas its
net.ssl.mode, the node will reject any non-TLS/non-SSL connections. For example:
db.adminCommand( { setParameter: 1, sslMode: "requireSSL" } )
After the upgrade of all nodes, edit the configuration file with the appropriate TLS/SSL settings to ensure that upon subsequent restarts, the cluster uses TLS/SSL.
|(1, 2) As an alternative to using the
setParameter command, you can also
restart the nodes with the appropriate TLS/SSL options and values.

|Press Release
Fifty-sixth General Assembly
Second Committee
4th Meeting (PM)
The Second Committee (Economic and Financial) had a major responsibility to address deprivation, degradation and despair and bridge the disparities plaguing the world, the representative of Indonesia told the Committee this afternoon as it continued its general debate.
The Millennium Declaration had identified crucial issues essential for fostering development in the twenty-first century and had furnished nations with a blueprint for progress, he said. Nations must implement its tenets to ensure that the power and potential of globalization would be harnessed to foster peace and prosperity for all rather than dividing humankind and setting its people one against the other.
The devastation of the terrorist attacks and their effect on sustainable development should also be addressed by the Committee, said the representative of Samoa, speaking on behalf of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). The attacks had come at a time of general economic downturn in the United States and other major economies, with the real risk of more global spread. His greatest fear now was that the commitment of the developed countries and donor organizations would suffer. It was therefore important to ensure that there was no diminishing of efforts in the area of sustainable development.
The representative of Ghana said the Committee could and should seek consensus on creating an environment capable of responding to the challenges and possibilities of globalization. Instead of continuing in the business-as-usual mode, with wide gaps between rhetoric and performance, discussions should focus on addressing the most fundamental issues before the Committee in a holistic and coherent manner, guided by a recognition of common interests.
The representative of the World Bank called on nations to address the "ethics of development". Work should be aimed at enhancing human capacity to freely shape the expanding opportunities of humanity. Nations must work together to move from rhetoric to implementation, to know how to wisely select and prioritize within limitations, and always ultimately, to keep the poor person at the forefront.
Statements were also made by the representatives of Bangladesh, China, Lithuania, Nauru (on behalf of the Pacific Island Countries Forum), Mongolia, Morocco, Philippines, Ecuador, Senegal, Solomon Islands, Peru, Turkey, Libya and Viet Nam. A representative of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources also spoke.
The Committee will meet again at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, 2 October, to continue its general debate.
The Second Committee met this afternoon to continue its general exchange of views.
SHAMEEM AHSAN (Bangladesh), speaking on behalf of the least developed countries (LDCs), said that while this year's Second Committee agenda was similar to other years, there was considerable scope for notable progress. Issues concerning the details of the International Conference on Financing for Development and the upcoming World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting in Doha would be considered, and issues of implementation arising from the Third United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries required urgent attention in the Committee. Aside from raising awareness, not much had been done since previous discussions, where it was agreed that globalization would increase inequality unless governments took strong corrective actions in the areas of finance and trade related to development.
The last decade had seen an unprecedented number of major global conferences touching on all phases of sustainable development in which progress had been made in many areas. The progress had been unsatisfactory. Lack of resources for achieving development goals was a common obstacle, so the issue of mobilization of resources should be looked at squarely. Markets had been opened with the expectation of reciprocal action and long-term benefit, but developing countries still needed greater access to global markets. It had been argued that LDCs would be first to benefit from duty-free treatment, but concrete global efforts to realize that expectation had never materialized. It was particularly remarkable that products from LDCs faced tariffs that were 30 per cent higher than the global average, while quotas, export restraints and antidumping measures further impeded market access of the few products LDCs could turn out.
Years had gone by without the goal of eliminating trade restrictions against LDCs being achieved. Agreements reached at the Conference on Least Developed Countries should be the basis for any further work at the upcoming International Conference on Financing for Development. The outcome of the work of the Committee would feed into the upcoming conferences on development, and agreement should not be postponed, but reached on actions to be taken to boost the development process. The agreements made in the Programme of Action from the Conference on Least Developed Countries should be transformed into concrete actions, or the Conference would have had no useful outcome. A decision to determine the best implementation mechanism needed to be taken in the Committee.
SHEN GUOFANG (China) said that, in today's context of globalization, individual countries' efforts to achieve development and eradicate poverty would not be successful without favourable external conditions. Vigorous efforts should be made to establish an equitable international governance system, different from the current "undemocratic" one, with a few countries holding decision-making power. The international community should increase the decision-making powers of developing countries to enable them to participate in formulation of the rules at a global level.
Financial resources were key to fulfilling development goals, and the international community needed to spend another $50 billion annually in order to achieve international development goals by the end of the year 2015. If the objective of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries of donating 0.7 per cent of gross national product (GNP) were met, then the funds necessary to meet those development goals could be available. The use of trade protectionism, anti-dumping measures, environmental protection and technological regulations by developed countries meant that those countries benefited most from trade liberalization. Developed countries were called upon to fully implement the agreements made at the Uruguay Round, to open markets and to eliminate trade barriers. In formulating new trade rules, the special difficulties faced by developing countries should be taken into full account, and trade liberalization should be carried out gradually and in conformity with national conditions.
At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, special efforts should be made to help developing countries solve their difficulties. Concrete suggestions and measures were needed to solve issues of financial resources, technology transfer and capacity-building to realize the goal of global sustainable development as laid out in the Millennium Declaration.
MAKMUR WIDODO (Indonesia) said that, in the wake of a decade of devastating financial crises that shattered the development efforts of a number of developing countries -- including his own -- reform of the international financial architecture should be squarely addressed at the Conference on Financing for Development in Mexico next year. In that context, nations should continue to explore ways to enhance the role of developing countries in decision-making and norm-setting in the various international bodies. That would help nations move towards universal acceptance and legitimacy of international agreements -- and thus to their effective and efficient implementation. At the same time, increased consultation with civil society and the private sector was inherent to the success of that process.
External indebtedness, he said, was another source of vulnerability that was further aggravated by globalization. The debt strategies employed so far by the international community had fallen short of resolving the issue. The Conference should address the structural causes of indebtedness, so that nations could collectively and effectively achieve a durable solution to the pervasive debt problem. That would include helping all heavily indebted poor countries to qualify for such relief, and addressing the need to extend appropriate relief to low- and middle-income developing countries.
The Second Committee had a unique choice and a major responsibility during its current session, he added. The urgent need to bridge the disparities plaguing the world could not be overstated. The world had changed utterly. Deprivation, degradation and despair could not be allowed to stand. The Millennium Declaration had identified crucial issues essential for fostering development in the twenty-first century, and had furnished nations with a blueprint for progress. Nations must implement its tenets so as to ensure that the power and potential of globalization, rather than dividing humankind, would be harnessed to foster peace and prosperity for all.
GEDIMINAS ŠERKŠNYS (Lithuania) said that deeper and more global analysis of the social, economic, environmental, political and cultural factors that created a situation in which violence was tolerated and perpetrated had been made necessary by recent events. The international community should try to eliminate the digital divide and make sure that developing countries did not fall behind in development. The role of information and communication technology was indispensable in helping the international community cope with globalization, as it could be used as a tool for knowledge-sharing. His Government had taken several significant steps to create an information and knowledge society, based on science and innovative technologies.
His country recognized the importance of implementing the strategies for sustainable development and building the preconditions for proper economic growth, through such measures as improving legal and economic instruments of environmental management and the promotion of investment in pollution prevention, especially in the energy sector. With limited public financial resources available, his country directed its energies at creating favourable legal and economic conditions for private sector investment.
Strategic goals of policy coherence should be laid out to integrate countries at different levels of economic development into the world economy, but adjustment policies needed to consider the specific circumstances of individual countries. While external financial flows were important in determining the success of development efforts, domestic resources were the primary means for countries to develop themselves. Individual countries should make every effort to create an enabling environment for the expansion of domestic resource bases, to establish and strengthen mechanisms to increase and preserve those resources, and to use domestic resources efficiently.
NANA EFFAH-APENTENG (Ghana) said that at every point, new explanations for failure had been advanced, attempts to address problems in a comprehensive manner rebuffed, and piecemeal solutions agreed on, only to start the cycle again. Perhaps the worst manifestation of that approach could be seen in the negotiations on the agenda for the WTO Ministerial Meeting, to be held in Doha, Qatar. Despite the pronouncements of high-level officials that trade should promote development, the ongoing negotiations had been predicated on the need to secure for the developed countries additional benefits through inclusion of new issues as a condition to agreeing on an agenda -- including those issues critical to the development of most developing countries.
The international community was at a crossroads, he said. "We can meet the expectations of our peoples if we choose to address the most fundamental issues before us in a holistic and coherent manner, guided by a recognition of our common interests, or we can continue in the business-as-usual mode, which has been characterized by wide gaps between rhetoric and performance and a disturbing negotiating style, which prides itself on reaching constructive ambiguity." He believed the Committee could and should seek consensus on a core of critical issues whose elements constituted an enabling environment capable of responding to the challenges and possibilities of globalization.
Among those issues, he said, was deepening the development dimension of multilateral processes and cooperation, including a review of the WTO's mandate, to ensure coherence in policy-making in trade, finance and development. Another issue was debt relief through cancellation or, where appropriate, through measures consistent with the need for countries to achieve growth rates leading to poverty eradication and appropriate social safety nets.
EDUARDO DORYAN, Special Representative of the World Bank to the United Nations, said that poverty reduction and sustainable development could be best achieved where three conditions existed for poor people: opportunity, empowerment and security. Opportunity could be achieved by stimulating economic growth, making markets work better for the poor and working for their inclusion. Empowerment could be achieved by strengthening the poor's ability to shape decisions that affect their lives and removing discrimination. Security could be achieved by reducing vulnerability to sickness, economic shocks, crop failure, unemployment, natural disasters and violence.
The issue that nations had to deal with was the ethics of development, he added. Work should be aimed at enhancing human capacity to freely shape the expanding opportunities of human beings and humanity. Importantly, it was about linking means and ends. The same countries governed both the United Nations and the World Bank, and each institution focused on those concerns through a different, complementary and equally important lens; and the homework for all was the same. In today's context of both urgency and possibility, nations must work together to prevent "solo" approaches to development, to enhance coherence, to move from rhetoric to implementation, to know how to wisely select and prioritize within limitations, and always ultimately, to keep the poor person at the forefront.
NICHOLAS A. ROBINSON, Legal Adviser, International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN), said that the Union's expertise on matters of ecology, natural resources and sustainable development had been made available in the context of the Assembly's informal consultative process on Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, as well as in the Forum on Forests and the Commission on Sustainable Development. The Union had actively participated in the work of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), including the preparation of the group of experts to work on the programme to develop environmental law. It had also worked with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on the dissemination of the World Energy Assessment, and was active in the regional economic commissions.
The IUCN, he said, had recognized that sustainable development required stronger cooperation among States and societies in order to build genuine environmental security. Peace and sustainable development alike depended on safeguarding the environment from acts of terrorism. If the expertise of the IUCN could be of assistance in advancing the work of the United Nations to create better systems of environmental security, the Union was prepared to cooperate in that effort.
TUILOMA NERONI SLADE (Samoa), on behalf of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), said the devastation of the terrorist attacks had served to underscore the seriousness and the urgency of the sustainable development and economic issues that the Committee would have to grapple with. The attacks had come at a time of general economic downturn in the United States and in other major economies, with the real risk of more global spread. It was a risk that put focus on the bleak economic reality of many developing countries, including AOSIS. His greatest fear now was that the commitment of the developed countries and donor organizations would suffer. It was therefore important to ensure that there was no diminishing energy on the part of AOSIS and the international community on sustainable development efforts.
He expressed strong support for the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction. The vulnerability of small islands required the strongest support for international action on the issue. In that regard, there was still a need to keep in mind the special situation of small island developing States in preparation for the Decade and the need to allow for greater regional cooperation among them, in situations where such regional cooperation was an appropriate response.
The AOSIS countries greatly appreciated the willingness of States parties to move forward with the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, he said. The Bonn Agreement was a highly significant achievement and nations were now very close to an agreement on the details of the many complex arrangements set up under the Protocol. Climate change remained a first priority for his group.
VINCI N. CLODUMAR (Nauru), speaking on behalf of the Pacific Islands Forum Group, said the members of that group were flexible and supported the reorganization of five items in this session's agenda. Such reorganization should not, however, mean marginalization of the issues of special concern to developing States, especially least developed countries, small island developing States, and landlocked economies.
It was hoped that the proposed arrangements to have procedural resolutions only on those items would not prevent important issues from being discussed in future sessions. The Millennium Declaration had set the platform and the tone in which the Committee should proceed, and the upcoming World Summit on Sustainable Development would provide occasion for the world community to set itself back onto a path for sustainable development.
There were direct correlations between economic activities, the environment, and the societies in which we lived, especially for small island communities. Natural disasters were serious threats to security and sustainable development of island countries, as one such disaster could result in massive loss of life and the erasure of decades of economic growth. He hoped that discussions in this Committee would lead to recognition of the many constraints on the Pacific Islands Forum Group countries, and result in ways to improve their socio-ecomic status.
J. ENKHSAIKHAN (Mongolia) said that social inequality and exclusion had never before met the levels they had in this time of abundant wealth and globalization. At a national level, Mongolia had adopted the Good Governance for Human Security Programme as a means of meeting goals set in the Millennium Declaration. The poverty rate in his country stood at 36 per cent, with the percentage reaching 45 per cent in some urban areas. Strategies Mongolia had adopted to combat poverty were acceleration of per capita income, reducing inequality of income, creating employment and placing more responsibility for development on local government and civil society.
To overcome the donor fatigue that had led to the alarming decline of Official Development Assistance, that aid needed to be used more effectively. ODA remained crucial, especially to least developed and landlocked countries, and could scarcely be replaced by private financial flows. Landlocked countries faced many obstacles in the area of international trade because they depended heavily on export-based sectors for economic and social growth. Special consideration should therefore be given to the circumstances and interests of the least developed landlocked countries at the next round of trade negotiations.
His country was susceptible to natural disasters, he said, and with an economy dependent on the environment, the objectives of the Rio Summit held particular significance. The average temperature had increased in Mongolia at a rate three to five times higher than the rest of the world and had led to recurrent droughts. Almost 80 per cent of Mongolia's pasture had been affected by degradation. Land deterioration and desertification were threatening economic and social structures. While States had agreed that the funding for implementation of Agenda 21 should come from countries' own public and private sources, there was still a need to mobilize new financial resources to meet targets for poverty reduction, environmental protection and economic growth.
ABDELLAH BENMELLOUK (Morocco) said the Millennium Declaration had recognized that the main challenge for the international community was to make globalization a positive force for sustainable development. While globalization offered many opportunities, developing countries continued to be marginalized and poverty was increasing. The goal of halving the number of people living in poverty by 2015 was becoming more elusive, particularly for Africa. One of the major obstacles facing developing countries was a lack of resources to fund development activities. Urgent measures must be taken regarding financing for development, within a stable and consistent international financial architecture.
It was clear that the primary responsibility for development lay with the countries concerned and depended on various internal mechanisms, he said. However, the mobilization of domestic resources alone could not ensure development. Measures at the international level were needed to integrate developing countries into the global economy and achieve sustainable development. As the international community was preparing to hold the Fourth World Trade Organization Ministerial Meeting, it must learn from the failure of the Seattle meeting.
The ODA alone, he said, was not sufficient to ensure adequate financing resources. Measures to encourage private investment, both domestic and international, must be taken. The Monterrey Conference would be an opportunity to address those issues in depth and to take the necessary measures. The private sector must assume its responsibility in mobilizing resources. Likewise, the establishment of partnerships between the private and public sector must become a priority. The need to strengthen international cooperation was becoming urgent.
The digital gap was a major obstacle in the development of many developing countries, which were prevented from accessing the new technologies, he added. Those technologies could help establish a climate to stimulate growth and attract foreign investment. It was time to tackle the question of development with greater enthusiasm.
ENRIQUE A. MANALO (Philippines) said there would be unprecedented opportunity to make significant impact in tackling the manifold problems faced by developing countries at the preparations for the International Conference on Financing for Development and the World Summit on Sustainable Development. If current restraints like the debt burden were not so onerous, countries could build domestic capacities for development more effectively. Considering the substantial improvement in political and economic governance in nearly all developing countries,new and additional debt relief would be a good investment for the international financial community.
On the international level, he said, more work was needed on giving developing countries access to investment opportunities and open access to markets in developed countries. Liberalized trade would be meaningful only if developing countries were able to expand their export capacities. The rules of trade and the WTO itself should be made more responsive to the needs, concerns and priorities of developing countries.
His country supported a more formalized relationship between the United Nations and the WTO to maximize the political impact of the United Nations in developmental matters, particularly in the context of trade. Funding for global public goods should be allocated over and above funds intended for ODA. At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the gulf between hopes and reality must be bridged. He therefore emphasized the need for adequate funding for the implementation of Agenda 21.
HUMBERTO JIMENEZ TORRES (Ecuador) said the functioning of markets and the characteristics of economies were not uniform around the world. In order to address the economic problems faced by developing countries, the international community needed to address the varying factors at work in different economies. Some solutions to problems that worked in some areas would not work in others, and that fact must be internalized before measures to create sustainable development could be realized.
He added that external debt was still one of the most severe obstacles to development. Because of that debt, the resources needed for sustainable economic development and social needs were not available. Liberalization and transparency did not yet cover all sectors of the global economy. Many developing countries were still unable to gain access to markets. Social demands could not continue to be neglected in those countries without long-lasting, damaging effects.
PAPA LOUIS FALL (Senegal) said that Africa could not achieve the target of halving those living in poverty by 2015 if current trends on the continent continued. Among those trends was the economic growth of the continent, which peaked at only 2.1 per cent per year compared with a population growth of
2.8 per cent. There were also the various environmental problems facing Africa, including desertification and forest degradation, which had led to food insecurity. Also a factor was the terrifying pandemic of HIV/AIDS, which was threatening Africa's growth.
Today, the deficit in leadership and low participation of Africans themselves in various efforts were among the reasons for the failure of numerous initiatives, he said. The New African Initiative, adopted in July in Lusaka, aimed at creating conditions of good governance and acquiring new communication and information technologies, which would contribute to improving economic growth. The scale of the challenge inherent in implementing the Initiative lay in the fact that everything must be done quickly. Only through cooperative action would African countries be able to take up that challenge. The international community must give unswerving assistance to Africa. In that context, he made an urgent appeal to all delegations to support the New African Initiative.
JEREMIAH MANELE (Solomon Islands) said development cooperation should make societies less vulnerable to violent conflicts. Aid should go beyond immediate humanitarian needs. It had to be linked to peace-building initiatives in order to make peace and development sustainable. Arms for example would not be surrendered as long as there was no alternative source of employment, income and livelihood available. Hence, development assistance could be a means to prevent conflict, and an instrument to help build peace and foster social and economic progress.
He said the Conference on Financing for Development, to be held in Mexico next year, should seek to increase the effectiveness of official development assistance to enable countries that attract little private investment to create the necessary measures for sustained economic growth and human development. It should also take into account both the inherent economic vulnerabilities of such countries, as well as the unfavourable conditions and trends in the global economy. Those factors directly affected the capacity of developing countries to generate sufficient domestic resources to finance development.
Of particular importance to his country and other small island developing States were the problems of natural disasters, climate change and sea level rise. Those were not just environmental problems for his country. They were serious threats to the security, survival and sustainable development. The unique circumstances of such States should be considered in regard to climate change, especially by those mainly responsible for the phenomenon. The Kyoto Protocol remained a significant first step on the path to ensuring effective global action to combat climate change.
RAUL SALAZAR-COSIO (Peru) said the outlook for countries such as his own was discouraging. During the 1990s, many developing countries had undertaken efforts to reform their economic structures. On the national level, they dismantled subsidies, at times affecting vulnerable social sectors, deregulated State-owned companies and privatized. In general, those countries had made enormous efforts in favour of reform. However, the initial momentum created by those reforms had not led to sustained growth and had in fact led to instability.
In the area of trade, the so-called new economy had given priority to products other than basic products, he said. The coming WTO Ministerial Meeting in Doha represented an opportunity for the international community to take measures to increase access for the products of developing countries in the markets of developed nations. The Rio Group, during its meeting in August, had stressed the need to strengthen the multilateral trading system and reject protectionist measures. The new round of trade talks must be balanced and have an agreed agenda. It must benefit all members, especially the developing and least developed countries.
The situation of the international economy was a source of great concern, he added. No one could deny that a new international financial architecture was necessary, as well as greater trade liberalization, recognizing the principle of different and preferential treatment.
ALPER COSKUN (Turkey) said that globalization was undoubtedly a defining theme of the times and constituted the background against which the Committee would be addressing many topics. Globalization and technological innovation constituted a two-edged sword. Along with the many benefits they brought, they were also fraught with danger. The gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" was growing.
In today's world, geographical distance could no longer shield anyone from global problems, he said. Development was a global concern that should transcend ideology and short-term interests. It was primarily the responsibility of each country, requiring sound and sustainable development of human and natural resources, particularly good governance, transparent legal and regulatory frameworks, and a liberal market economy. Sustainable development required international cooperation.
He hoped that at the International Conference on Financing for Development, to be held in Monterrey next year, the international community would display a unified approach in an effort to remedy the gap between the developed and developing countries. It was also his hope that the World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg next year would yield fruitful results, taking into consideration common but differentiated responsibilities.
AHMED AL-ATRASH (Libya) said that, despite progress achieved in the field of economic development, the degree of success differed greatly from country to country. Many nations, especially those south of the Sahara, did not have the means to achieve their development objectives. The task of reducing poverty had become more difficult than in the past, due in part to the great divide between rich and poor countries. The world today was divided between the affluent North and struggling South.
Was it reasonable that 1.5 billion people lived on an income of less than
$1 per day? he asked. There was great anxiety over the lack of concern of developed countries for the plight of the developing world. In that regard, there was greater need to reduce the debt burden of those nations. There was also a need to urge bilateral and multilateral creditors to reduce that debt burden.
He supported the establishment of an international solidarity fund to eradicate poverty, he said. Poverty was a challenge that demanded more action. Development had to be sustainable and it had to be human. Priority should be given to the programmes started by developing countries themselves, and efforts should be made to involve them more in the world economy. There was a need for a new international order that included developing countries in the global economy and took into consideration the special needs of developing nations.
Trade restrictions and sanctions remained a force restricting development in Libya, he added. Nations around the world should oppose such draconian measures in order to allow Libya to better participate in the global economy and to help in the effort to eradicate poverty around the world.
NGUYEN THANH CHAU (Viet Nam) said that, for the long-term objectives of global prosperity and in the long-term interests of all nations, globalization must not benefit only rich countries while leaving poor nations farther behind. Maintaining and strengthening economic security should be a responsibility shared by the international community, first and foremost by the developed countries. A
new momentum was needed in the development endeavour. The commitments made by the international community at the Millennium Summit should be undertaken seriously and with overwhelming efforts. The cooperation between the North and South should be strengthened on the basis of equality and mutual interests.
Liberalization of trade had become a vital means to development, he said. International trade to some extent helped poor countries in poverty eradication and connected developing economies to the world economy. Along that line, there was an urgent need for an open, equitable, predictable, non-discriminatory and rules-based multilateral trading system that could facilitate development.
He added that Viet Nam supported the launch of a new round of negotiations in the WTO on an equal and fair basis and in the interests of all nations. He also wished to see Viet Nam's early accession to the WTO, with the necessary preferences applicable to a developing country.

Track stars have revealed the secret to developing running speed. Most athletes simply run out of breath long before they need to stop running, because they aren't able to get the oxygen into their muscles fast enough. By taking deep breaths, and building up the supply of oxygen in your blood, you can prevent muscle cramps. As lactic acid builds up, and muscle fatigue sets in, untrained players think they've reached their limit.
Track teams, and well-coached basketball and football teams for that matter, train by sprinting short distances, over and over. It's not fun, but it works. After a few months of training, the lungs begin to process oxygen more efficiently, and players find that they can run long distances non-stop, or sprint for a longer period of time. Graceland University mascot may encourage student-athletes to apply via early decision. Students who are considering applying via early decision should be aware of the rules and obligations that this commitment entails.

Skelton family from Ireland
I know there are a lot of lines that lead back to the UK, but I am hoping someone may have additional information on my line. I'm a bit stuck at the moment, but here's what I have so far:
I am Samuel Skelton, son of Gary Milton Skelton and Mary Jo Cangemi.
Gary, born in NY, is son of Henry Leroy Skelton and Marjorie Hammon.
Henry, born in NY, is son of Claude Skelton and Pearl.
Claude was born Sept 10, 1888 in Forestport, NY. He is son of John Skelton and Amelia Mykel, and he had a sister Maude.
John Skelton was born in the 1850's/60's in Canada (possibly Ontario Province), and later moved to NY. He was son of Thomas Skelton and Elen(?). His siblings were as follows: Bridget (NY), Daniel (Canada), Elizabeth (NY), James (Canada), John (Canada), Mark (NY), Michael (Canada), Stephen (NY), and William (NY).
Thomas Skelton is where I'm stuck. I have proof that he and both of his parents were born in Ireland, but unfortunately that's all I have.
If you might have any information or questions please let me know, thanks!

They have had their serious moments as Strictly Come Dancing judges, but the BBC panel were showing their light-hearted sides this week.
Alesha Dixon joined Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli in a pantomime-style photoshoot for the Christmas Radio Times edition.
With Bruno playing Prince Charming, Alesha as Cinderella and Craig taking on the ugly sister role, the judges certainly seemed full of festive spirit as they donned their new outfits.
No stranger to dressing up, feisty judge Craig previously played the part of a panto wicked snow queen before shooting to fame with Strictly.

Good morning! For some state lawmakers, this will be your last day in Albany for a long time. It will be obnoxiously hot — a going away present from our weather gods. Gov. Andrew Cuomo is here with no announced public schedule, but sources tell us he'll be personally cooking hot dogs tonight at the Executive Mansion. (That is not true.) The Senate GOP will take one last look at the bill to restrict teacher evaluations, but otherwise, session should wrap up neatly. Here are today's headlines…
Music for your morning, in honor of the last day, and of our governor. (YouTube)
Lawmakers hope to wrap up session today in time to pose for pictures with Gov. Andrew Cuomo at a 5:30 p.m. reception at the Executive Mansion. There's a pool there, too. (TU)
Here's an overview of what's done and what's not. (GNS)
Cuomo, in his harshest criticism yet of Republicans who control the Senate, said they failed to change marijuana laws that would have reduced arrests in the NYPD's stop-and-frisk program because "the Conservative Party made their voice heard." (DN)
"I believe when they've done well this past 18 months, it's because they have been … a moderate Republican party. I don't believe this state will tolerate a party that caters to the extreme ultra-conservative side of the party," Cuomo said. (CapNY)
"Extremism is defending current law?" state Conservative Party Chairman Michael Long shot back. Long accused the governor of "reverting to the Cuomo trait." (NYP)
Eighty percent of the money fueling Julian Schreibman's congressional bid came from outside the district the Democratic attorney hopes to represent. (TU)
The FEC is investigating allegations that Joel Tyner, his primary opponent, inflated his filings. (PoJo)
Regents chairwoman Merryl Tisch said lawmakers cannot delay in passing a law restricting access to teacher evaluations. (DN)
Senate Republicans will discuss the bill again this morning, the last chance for a longshot resolution. (Newsday)
State officials are asking the federal government for a waiver that would let New York keep some of the $14.1 billion it squeezed from the Medicaid program. (TU)
Cuomo refused to rule out a legislative pay raise. (Newsday)
The Assembly passed a bill giving Cuomo three years of supervisory control over the New York Racing Association, which runs horses around the state. (DN)
Fred Dicker and Cuomo disagreed over whether the NY Post's editorial page is "extremely conservative." (NYO)
Yossi Gestetner, who was working as a liaison for the NY GOP, resigned before admitting in an interview he was not a Zionist. (The Jewish Channel)
A bill aimed at increasing the number of organ donors by changing the wording on a driver's license application passed. (NYT)
Senate Republicans won't bring the Dream Fund bill to the floor. (AP)
Syracuse will be broke within three years, its mayor warned. (Post-Standard)
Tom Libous and Robin Schimminger carry a bill that would apply to a catering hall — on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It passed the Senate, but appears dead in the Assembly. Neighborhood legislators oppose it. (NYT)
A judge ruled State Police can't seize Indian-made cigarettes destined for out-of-state consumers. (TU)
The Thruway Authority set public hearings on a planned toll hike. (GNS)
Environmental groups all got on the same page to say the state should hold off on hydrofracking. (AP)
Five lobbying groups that aren't what they seem to be. (City & State)
Fundraising: Bill Clinton for Rep. Louise Slaughter. House Speaker John Boehner for Rep. Nan Hayworth. (DN)
Assembly candidate Colin Schmitt is claiming intimidation of his staffers. (THR)
Lisa Colangelo said the special election to succeed Rep. Gary Ackerman will all come down to turnout. (DN)
The post of Jim Morrison's mug shot that Cuomo has in his man cave has its roots in Troy, where the Doors singer was so disappointed with the crowd that he declared, "If this is Troy, I'm with the Greeks." (TU)
Norman Lent, Long Island congressman, 81. (NYT)
And here are some national headlines…
A Congressional panel voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt. (WP)
The Obama administration is invoking executive privilege for some documents sought in a leaks probe. (WP)
Incumbents aren't saying the word "Congress" in their campaign ads. (WP)

Porterfield & Alexander in County Donegal
In reply to:
Re: PORTERFIELD in early Chester Co., PA
Ronald Harper 7/29/03
Thank you for the Porterfield in County Donegal information. . . . . let's just hope that Frank Burke Porterfield knew what he was talking about! That his information is well-founded. Without the documentation there is no proof.
I guess the next thing to do is to begin checking out all Presbyterian records in County Donegal. I don't think they are particularly plentiful for the time period that we are interested, but we can give it a try.
Thanks again!

This pentagonal wall mount provides enough space for you to feel secluded in it when making a phone call, building on the concept of an indoor phone booth.
This design called 'The Call' is by design studio TILT. It was inspired by the quiet ambiance of hospitals -- its enclosing form acts as a booth for personal space. Deliberately shaped like a cocoon at certain angles, the Call makes for a sheltering and cozy place whenever you need to step away from the rest of the world. It would be a visually intriguing piece to hang up on the wall, while serving the purpose of a stand-up booth where people can go to make important calls.

(Phys.org) —Inventor Tim Jenison may have finally solved the mystery of how famed Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer was able to create paintings that so closely resembled photographs. His five year mission to learn Vermeer's secrets has been filmed and a documentary made describing what he's learned.
Johannes Vermeer was a 17th century painter who stunned the world by suddenly appearing on the painting scene producing impressively realistic paintings, all seemingly without any training. Critics at the time suggested he "cheated" by using a device called a camera obscura, which is essentially a lens and mirror set up in a way to allow for better reference—it would be akin to painting using a photograph posted next to the canvas. The argument surfaced again in 2006 when modern painter David Hockney announced that the only way Vermeer could have painted the pictures he made, were by using some sort of mirror and lens contraption. The problem with the argument was that it couldn't explain how the lighting could have come out the way it did—a mirror/lens device would have produced an image that was upside down.
Shortly after Hockney's announcement, millionaire inventor Tim Jenison became intrigued by the argument. His background was in optics, so it seemed a natural way to pass his time investigating the possibilities. Instead of a hobby, however, it became more of an obsession. Jenison traveled to Amsterdam to see an example for himself. He claims that led to an epiphany—one so strong that he learned Dutch so he could read original texts. He learned about early paints and how to make mirrors and lenses himself. Eventually, he even faithfully recreated the room and sunlight conditions of where Vermeer sat while painting "The Music Lesson," one of his most famous pieces.
As time passed, Jenison became convinced he had an inkling of how Vermeer pulled off his trick—he'd added another mirror to his camera obscura, causing the image it created to become right side up. By positioning a lens and two mirrors just right, he found he could create what would look like a photograph, just next to the canvas, allowing for simple replication of an actual setting. Putting all that he'd learned together, Jenison created what he believes are the conditions Vermeer was working under. And to prove his point, he even created a stunning painting of his own—one that very closely resembles "The Music Lesson." He says, he's 90 percent sure he's solved the mystery. That last ten percent, he says, is there because he can't figure out how Vermeer managed to hide the knowledge of his improved camera obscura.

POLICE are closing in on vandals who derailed a train in Angus last month by seeking four youths spotted in the area.
• A CrossCountry train carrying 38 passengers and staff partially came off tracks near Inverkeilor on 4th November and is believed to have hit an object on the line
• Four youths spotted in area on night before
• Rail firms have offered £25,000 reward for information leading to the conviction
The group were seen just off the A92 road in Inverkeilor, the night before a CrossCountry train carrying 38 passengers and crew partially came off the tracks on 4 November.
British Transport Police said the youths, who were seen around 7:30pm on 3 November, "may be vital to the investigation".
They are described as ranging from 5ft to 5ft 6in tall, with one wearing a grey or light coloured hooded top and trousers.
Rail firms have offered a £25,000 reward for information leading to a conviction for the incident, which is believed to have been caused by an object being placed on the line.
Detective Chief Inspector Iain Miller, who is leading the investigation, said: "The youths were seen walking towards Bryanton House just off the A92. This would have been prior to the bonfire at Inverkeilor, the night before the incident occurred.
"It is important to trace these youths in order to eliminate them from our enquiries."
Police also want to speak to anyone who was at the bonfire or took photographs.

Depends entirely on your style, though for something that can be dressed up or down, you can't beat a peacoat in either navy or charcoal.
Same goes for shoes. If you can only have two pairs, then makes sense to have one smart (brown derby or tan brogue) and one casual (desert boots or chukka boots).

I say dump SuSE and dump it for good. What Novell has done cannot be forgiven and a dead Novell is a good Novell for opensource. Think about it, from now on, whenever Microsoft decides to sue someone, Novell will be their poster child witness as to the patent infringments made by Linux. And as the second largest commercial Linux vendor, whatever they say will hold a lot of sway on the decision made by the court systems. Novell, from this day on, rather than protecting Linux, will have to get on the stand and give witness to the prosecution that they believe there are patent violations by Linux. This whole situation really gets me really mad. Not that I really ever trusted Mono, but from now on, I will never trust anything that comes out from Novell.
BTW, on a slightly different topic, Miguel de Icaza is a sell out. I am glad that the open source community saw him for the clown that he is and ignored his pleads to make .net as part of the gnome base. It is sad how far he has fallen.

Two-parts review about cell-based products in tissue engineering, published in Tissue Engineering Part B, available in open access.
The review is really huge and look like book chapter. The authors proposed new methodological approaches in tissue engineering based on understanding developmental biology and systems biology.
Part I – From three-dimensional cell growth to biomimetics of In vivo development
Part II – From genes to networks: tissue engineering from the viewpoint of systems biology and network science
The field of tissue engineering is moving toward a new concept of "in vitro biomimetics of in vivo tissue development.†In Part I of this series, we proposed a theoretical framework integrating the concepts of developmental biology with those of process design to provide the rules for the design of biomimetic processes. We named this methodology "developmental engineering†to emphasize that it is not the tissue but the process of in vitro tissue development that has to be engineered. To formulate the process design rules in a rigorous way that will allow a computational design, we should refer to mathematical methods to model the biological process taking place in vitro.
We will look into the applicability of systems biology and network science to the design of processes that are fully biomimetic, yet simple and robust enough to be practical, since in vivo developmental processes are by default robust. We attempt this using the concepts and terminology of these disciplines to position developmental engineering on a solid scientific foundation.

Recently, I've been seeing a lot of things on social media relating to "bossy" girls and how they should be encouraged and congratulated. I find this meme incredibly aggravating because the reality is that the girls in question are not behaving in a way that is at all desirable. Bossy little girls are not being strong leaders, they are being overbearing dictators, hence the negative connotation associated with the word bossy. The people posting these things are implying that the word has a negative connotation simply because it is generally descriptive of girls and women. I call bullshit. It's negative because being bossy is in no way positive. Strong, professional, accomplished women are NOT bossy.
It is interesting to note that these "bossy" girls are being portrayed as both "strong" and the "victim" simultaneously. That they are being both chastised and congratulated for behaving in a 'male' way. On the other hand, little boys that try to tell everyone what to do are not called "bossy." Instead they're called "bullies", which is appropriate. Boys tend to bully with physical dominance, girls do it with words. Different sides of the same coin, both equally undesirable.
Encouraging "bossy" girls is just as misguided as congratulating "bully" boys for beating up the smaller kids.
I understand and support the point here, that girls will benefit from being exposed to more empowering roles earlier on in life. However, this is significantly different from what we are seeing online, which is aggrandizing even the smallest sign of dominance regardless of how it affects others. This encourages young women to think that everything they do is some sort of special victory for all of womankind and damn the consequences. In other words, it reinforces bossiness and general disregard for the concerns of others.
Furthermore, you can encourage little girls all day. The reality is that children emulate what they see. If they hear about strong women all day, every day, it makes no difference if the adult women they interact with in their daily lives are wilting flowers. If every scientist or engineer that a little girl sees is a man and every teacher's aide is a woman, guess how she's going to model her life.
Putting the onus on little girls to change the world in direct conflict with all available evidence and based solely upon what their teachers tell them is preposterous and more than a little bit lazy. It is incumbent upon adults in general and adult women in particular to take up the baton of change and DEMONSTRATE the way things should be.See some words or phrases that you don't understand?

Willa Cather paints her pioneer country in wistful sepia prose that has become an enchanting American classic. The childhood memories of narrator Jim Burden in Blackhawk, Nebraska are woven together with the struggles of his beloved neighbor, a newly-arrived immigrant girl from Bohemia, Ántonia Shimerda. The story of their friendship outlines the determination, hardship, and resiliency of Great Plains life at the turn of the last century.

2011 Toy Highlander V6 4WD
By jonjon111 on
Vehicle2011 Toyota Highlander 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewExcellent vehicle overall.
Excellent alternative to a van.
Previously owned vans for the past 10 years (Sienna & Odyssey).
It was time for a change.
We shopped around for the best mid size replacement as an alternative to a van at our price point.
Our biggest concern was loosing the versatility of a van, which will always be there.
We drove the Ford Edge, GMC Terrain, and Toyota Venza.
Of the three we ruled out the Edge & Terrain.
The Venza was the best of the three.
We then realized a must for us was a 3rd seat to accomodate additional passengers as needed. We realized we had to increase our price point & test drove the Highlander.
We immediately realized this to be a perfect fit.
Best FeaturesBased on budget, we were unsure that the technology package was worth the price or need. Today, we are glad that we added this package. The two most favorite features we use quite often are the flip rear glass & the hands free phone. We did also add the towing package for future use & the cold weather package which includes the heated mirrors & lower windshield grid which will be an added benefit in the winter months ahead.
Worst FeaturesThere are only two improvements that we can suggest at this time for future models. One is adding four single touch window switches for up & down (all windows) especially at this price point. This vehicle has this feature for the driver window only. I have found this feature to be standard on vehicles with a much lower price point such as a Camry. Second is shielding the back up camera lens (in the tech pkg) in an attempt to avoid water drops that obscure the camera.

"When I was a kid, I used to hang
outside my older brother's room
so I could listen to his Beatles &
Rolling Stones records"
Frank Barron
Frank began playing the saxophone after he "stumbled"
into Detroit's
Cobb's Corner
one night which was
musically rich with R & B, jazz & soul music. He initially
started his music education by learning to play the sax
in area bars, but later attended Wayne State University
to sharpen his musical abilities. Frank's intense
passion for music had begun much earlier though, when
he first heard a flute solo in Rimsky-Korsakov's classical
symphony, Scheherazade.
Over the years, Frank's professional musical experience
has had him playing for
The Contours, The Dramatics,
Martha Reeves and the Coasters.
In 2005 he went to
Spain to do a performance with Nathanial Mayer where
they played a R & B and Rock & Roll venue. While
Frank loves all kinds of music and is "crazy about
dozens of saxophone players", a couple of his all time
favorites are
Wayne Shorter and Sonny Rollins
The heavy influence of jazz, blues and soul have
definitely shaped Frank's impassioned performance of
rock & roll music. He plays a wicked sax for
The Band
as well as the flute, harmonica &
penny-whistle. and his singing style has a unique
quality that is steeped with soul.
