Q: Is ENCODE() and DECODE() the "best" way to handle an application password field in MySQL? I am developing on a LAMP(erl) stack and know of several ways to store obscured passwords.  I'd like to hear from those who feel they have a best practice, given MySQL 4.1.1 and Perl 5.8, and the reasons why it's the best.
One option I have read about, using the MySQL ENCODE() and DECODE() functions, sounds pretty good to me... your thoughts?

A: Generally, I prefer to keep passwords as hashes that can't be recovered, rather than as encrypted items that can be decrypted.
By computing a hash from a visitor-supplied string(plus some salt, of course), I can tell whether the user provided the same password twice, without the security risk of allowing my application to be able to decrypt the provided password, possibly maliciously.
My sense is that encode() and decode() are probably good solutions when you want the data to be recoverable, but that unrecoverable hashes (using Crypt::MD5) is a better approach for stored passwords.

A: I think a salted hash with a proper hash function like SHA-256 is the best. Passwords that are reversible are not as safe as those who cannot be reversed. Without an external Perl module, you can use instead the built in SHA1() function, not as good as SHA256, but better than ENCODE/DECODE.
Additionally, you have to consider the path from your code to the database, which can be sniffed. You can avoid that risk by hashing in the code or by encrypting the database connection. Better to do it in code, because even when encrypting the connection there is still the risk about query logs being configured thus storing plaintext on a log file somewhere.

A: If you only need the password to authenticate yourself/the user, a one way storing (like md5) is better.

A: Well, since there's a DECODE() function, I'd say no, for the simple fact that you probably want to store the password in hashed form, to prevent anyone obtaining your database/password file from casually reading passwords.
I'd recommend going with the classic salted hash method.

A: Some applications require the user's password to be retrievable, as opposed to a system where the user's password is randomly reset to something, if forgotten (because it cannot be decrypted, because you're using a hash). In this case, encode and decode are OK, but why not use the built-in AES_ENCRYPT and AES_DECRYPT functions instead?
Also, keep with the suggestion of using a salt value, whether you hash or encrypt. It's beneficial in both scenarios.

A: I'm not sure what these functions do, but for passwords in a LAMP stack website, I'd definitely use a salt field as well.
Your user table would have:

*

*name

*pass

*salt

The plain text password is then encoded using some encode function on a concatenation on the plain text password and the salt. This result goes into the pass field. The salt is stored as well. That way you can verify plaintext passwords when the user logs in. The salt can be anything, the longer and more random the better, but I don't think it's that sensitive.
This improves security vastly, because now your users don't use 5 letter passwords anymore, they use 5+len(salt) size passwords, and if the salt is big enough, no rainbow database will ever contain your hashes.

A: If you can decrypt a password, your security is flawed.  You should always hash the password with a salt, MD5 is popular but there are superior hashing such as SHA and SHA-256.


Is atheism a belief system, a new 'faith' as it were, in the same way that atheists claim that theism is a belief system? Atheists reject this attack asserting that they are just using critical reasoning to expose irrational theism. What would make atheism is a new 'faith'? Does atheism, like theism, have its own assumptions and ways of thinking?

Vince Flaherty is an American producer, recording artist, writer, and political activist.

In 2014, he was a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House to represent the 33rd Congressional District of California on a platform of fulfilling 434 promises. According to his candidate statement, he promised to work to "properly allocate water resources, implement traffic solutions, overturn the Citizens United decision, restore the California Attorney General's right to defend consumers from banks, implement a genuine homeowner protection act, and fight for election reform, legislative reform, judicial reform, bank reform, affordable health care, clean water, green energy, and phasing out dependence on nuclear energy and oil without sacrificing jobs or profits.  He is in favor of restructuring banks into manageable parts that will not place short-sighted gains ahead of economic stability. He promises to balance the budget, eliminate the debt and restore the economy by cutting taxes without cutting education or damaging transportation and trade."

In 2011, he was an unsuccessful Independent candidate for the United States House of Representatives from California. In that campaign, he focused upon constitutionalism, civil rights, consumer protection, and environmentalism.  He advocated the resolution of economic and housing crises, public financing of political campaigns, reform of the banking and financial systems, restoration of the rights of attorneys general to defend consumers regarding certain banking practices, transparency of the Federal Reserve System, the improved treatment and housing assistance for military veterans, secure borders, and health care reform.

Early entertainment career
His show business career started as a child actor in the CBS western television series, The Texan starring Rory Calhoun, and in the recurring role of a schoolboy on ABC's sitcom, The Donna Reed Show.  In addition to television appearances, he has acted in and produced such feature films as A Gun, A Car, A Blonde, starring Billy Bob Thornton and John Ritter, and Sin-Jin Smyth, starring Jonathan Davis, Richard Tyson, Don Stroud, and Roddy Piper.

His first record sessions included Ernie Freeman, and the then unknown Daryl Dragon, Charles Wright and Jimi Hendrix who was at the time working under the name Jimmy James.  Also unsigned at the time, was a band called Love consisting of Bryan MacLean (rhythm guitar), Johnny Echols (lead guitar), Ken Forssi (bass) and Don Conka (drums). Flaherty sat in with the group at L.A. clubs called The Brave New World and Bito Lido's, and the group minus their leader Arthur Lee, backed him up on several records. Meanwhile, Love attracted a huge following at Bito Lido's, and word of Vince's distinctive style of guitar and harmonica playing spread, enabling him to become booked on sessions with L.A. Rock and Blues artists, such as Etta James.

In later years, original members of Love mentioned that his arrangement of "Yes It's True", recorded three months earlier than Love's biggest hit "7&7 Is", was the band's inspiration to change Arthur Lee's previously slow folk song into a driving, rolling beat that reaches an explosive crescendo and then starts up slow again.

Songwriter Sharon Sheeley, ("Somethin Else", "Poor Little Fool") was Vince's girlfriend at the time. She told her friends that he reminded her of her fiancé, rocker Eddie Cochran who was killed in a car crash in London. Sheeley took Flaherty to London for a try out with The Playboys, after their front man Vince Taylor overdosed on LSD. The audition didn't work out and The Playboys became The Bobbie Clarke Noise, named after their leader, who was the first known rock drummer to use a double bass. Later, Bobbie Clarke came to America and replaced Love's drummer Don Conka, on Flaherty's recordings with Love.

Afterward, Flaherty took over the front man spot for a group called The Elves Themselves, and recorded a single called "The Certificate" that included Jimi Hendrix on guitar, Ken Forssi on bass and Bobbie Clarke on drums. Vince and The Elves also made a record entitled "Feel Alright" produced by Vic Diaz of the Matadors, purportedly for Lou Adler, the producer of Jan and Dean, and The Mamas & the Papas. More recordings might have been available, but Clarke soon garnered the distinction of becoming the first UK rocker to be busted for pot and swiftly deported.

Subsequently, Flaherty was cast to star in a Western movie and departed for Italy. The movie was never completed. Instead, Flaherty was rendered unconscious, fed intravenously, and kept asleep for a period of nearly three months. The producers maintained the star had gone insane, and they collected a large sum from the completion bond company. Meanwhile, no one had heard anything from Flaherty. Sharon Sheeley found out where he was, and with the help of Gordon Waller, half of the singing duo Peter and Gordon, obtained custody papers from Gordon's father, a prominent London physician. Together Sharon and Gordon traveled to the Villa Belvedere outside of Rome where Flaherty was being held and obtained his release. The bizarre circumstance left Flaherty a wreck and he was not able to record or effectively pursue a career for several years.

In 1969, Jimi Hendrix had a surprise lineup change for the last day of the concert at Devonshire Downs, and he utilized Flaherty to deliver and set up the equipment of Buddy Miles. That date marked end of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and the advent of Jimi's new group with Buddy Miles and Billy Cox. No one including the Experience's Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell realized that Hendrix was changing his band because he was given to spontaneously jamming with so many different players.

Producer and actor
Years later, Vince Flaherty re-appeared as a producer and actor in over 100 feature films and television movies.  Some of his credits include Ladies Man, The Fall Guy, Blacke's Magic, Masquerade, Capitol, Law of the Sea, The Legend of Billy Blood, Pendulum and Championship Polo.

'Inside Job' Brings Gordon Gekkos to Life
Charles Ferguson's documentary makes clear the villains of the financial meltdown.
Joe Mont
Sep 30, 2010 10:30 AM EDT
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- Movie-goers at this week's New York Film Festival, taking a break from the exploits of Gordon Gekko, will have the chance to boo the real-life characters behind the economic meltdown of 2008 with Charles Ferguson's documentary about the financial crisis, "Inside Job."
In an interview with
, Ferguson said his experience prepared him well for tackling the complex topic. He holds a doctorate in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been a self-described "policy wonk" -- consulting for the White House and Department of Defense -- and an entrepreneur savvy in the ways of finance. His former company, Vermeer Technologies, founded in 1994, created the Web site development software FrontPage before being bought by

Charles Ferguson, director of "Inside Job," says there has been little attempt at justice in the wake of the financial crisis.
Beyond Wall Street executives, politicians and industry overseers, Ferguson's film -- which opens nationwide Oct. 8 -- launches an assault on the academic world, and the economists and business schools that helped validate dangerous policies. Those interviews and narratives prove to be among "Inside Job's" most contentious. Notable is a tense confrontation with Glenn Hubbard, dean of the Columbia University Business School and an economic adviser during the Bush administration.
"The economic discipline has been subverted and corrupted by the financial-services industry," Ferguson says. "Many of the academic economists who were defenders of the financial-services industry and deregulation also had very strong financial ties that they personally benefited from. It was a direct conflict of interest."
Also troubling to Ferguson, and presented as such in "Inside Job," is the role academic economists have had within government, not just influencing it from the outside.
Larry Summers, a prominent economist and former president of Harvard University, gets a healthy dose of the film's ire. Summers, who recently announced he will step down as an economic adviser to the Obama administration, also held a key role in the Clinton Administration.
Although significant blame is placed at the feet of George W. Bush, Ferguson sees little improving under President Barack Obama. That lack of confidence is made clear in recent footage devoted to financial reform and the Dodd-Frank Act, a post-film development Ferguson was able to edit into the final theatrical release.
"There wasn't much change required, unfortunately," Ferguson says. "My views are unchanged, and I think the Obama Administration has been a profound disappointment."
He delves into that lack of confidence by challenging the lack of civil or criminal charges after the meltdown.
"There has been no attempt to sanction, investigate or prosecute the people responsible for this," Ferguson says. "There is no way this could have happened without massive criminal fraud, and yet there have been zero criminal prosecutions. There haven't even been very many civil actions either against companies or executives, all of whom, thus far, have been permitted to keep all of the money they made during the bubble. There has been no attempt at real justice."
Covid May See a Lull After Omicron, Helping Economy
"The financial reform bill is, in my view, a joke," he adds. "It doesn't even address several of the most significant areas that most people who have looked at this agree need to be addressed.
Ferguson says "the people running economic policy in the Obama administration are, by and large, the people who caused this problem."
Summers, as pointed out in "Inside Job" (he declined to appear on camera), was instrumental in the deregulation of derivatives and the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, designed during the Great Depression to reduce speculation.
Among others he singles out are Mary Schapiro, who now heads the Securities and Exchange Commission and was in charge of FINRA, the investment-banking industry self-regulation body, "which did absolutely nothing to curb investment-banking practices during the bubble."
"Inside Job" digs into what is presented as often being "runaway compensation" on Wall Street, not just for bonus-collecting executives, but rank-and-file employees as well. The film, including a segment with a notorious madam, details how this cash-rich culture distorted the financial industry's perceptions of right and wrong, prudent and dangerous.
"These people become disconnected from reality and from the lives of normal people and the consequences of their actions," Ferguson says. "The structure of their compensation has made them dangerously disconnected from any kind of personal accountability. There is the culture on Wall Street that says anything can be bought."
Ferguson says he was continually surprised during the making of "Inside Job" by how much more outrageous matters were than what he thought he knew about the crisis and its lead-up. He points to
Goldman Sachs'

creation of securities sold to investors that the investment bank sold short, betting on a decline. That practice led to a congressional hearing and disciplinary measures against the banker who oversaw those securities.
He was also shocked by the "incompetence and disorganization of the government," including the U.S. Treasury and its former head, Henry Paulson, another target of the film. Paulson has been CEO of Goldman Sachs.
"Inside Job," which is narrated by Matt Damon, has also been shown in Toronto and Colorado.
"The reaction has been extraordinary," Ferguson says, clearly relieved that general audiences are able to follow the patchwork of complex events he lays out. "It makes people very, very angry and quite engaged. Popular sentiment about this issue is the one hopeful sign I see. It is my sense that the America people, although they didn't understand the details -- and I hope my film will help in that regard -- they do understand that they got screwed, that something very unfair happened and nothing has been done about it."

TOWARDS THE END OF THE MORNING
Book review by Anthony Campbell. The review is licensed under a Creative Commons Licence.
This is a novel about a kind of journalism that no longer exists. John Dyson and Bob Bell work for a newspaper that seems to have some literary pretensions, never sacks anyone and would certainly have folded long before the end of the twentieth century, let alone with the arrival of the Internet. The two men are friends and share an office where not very much work gets done. John is approaching middle age and has the ambition to get on television, which he thinks will transform his life. Bob, who is younger, eats sweets for comfort and has no ambition of any kind; he seems destined to potter along as a third-rate journalist for the rest of his working life. His ultimate future is probably foreshadowed by the third member of the office, 'poor old Eddie', who spends most of the day asleep, waking up occasionally to reminisce about old times and long-dead journalists of his acquaintance.
Other characters include John's wife and children, living in a run-down suburban district, and Bob's girl friend Tessa, who loves him although he really wants to finish with her. He thinks her stupid although she is in reality a good deal more astute in her judgements of people and situations than he is.
There are two first-rate extended comic episodes, both involving John. One concerns his eventual drunken appearance in a television discussion, and the other his participation in a jolly to the Persian Gulf, courtesy of a holiday firm called Magic Carpet, which degenerates into alcoholic chaos. The book is an exemplification of Horace Walpole's epigrammatic description of life as a comedy to those that think and a tragedy to those that feel, with the emphasis on the comedy.

This week TPC Kuala Lumpur plays host to the CIMB Classic, as the PGA Tour travels to Malaysia for the ninth consecutive year. Co-sanctioned along with the Asian Tour, this tournament features an elite 78-player field drawn from the top 60 spots on last season's FedEx Cup points list, the top 10 players on the Asian Tour, and eight sponsor exemptions. The 7,005, par-72 TPC Kuala Lumpur (West) course has hosted numerous high-level events since opening 28 years ago and was revamped after last year's tournament to rejuvenate the course and improve the playing surfaces.
Justin Thomas makes his season debut this week in the place where he picked up the first two victories of his career in 2015 and 2016. Along with Thomas, seven major champions are in the field, including last year's runner-up Keegan Bradley, Jason Dufner, and Jimmy Walker. Each of the players in last week's three-man playoff at the Safeway Open arrive in Asia in great form, including newly minted champion Kevin Tway, two-time CIMB champion Ryan Moore, and FedEx Cup champion Brandt Snedeker. While defending champion Pat Perez looks to join Thomas and Moore as the only multiple CIMB winners with a win this week.
The PGA Tour has undergone a youth transformation over the last two seasons with a new breed of young guns winning early and often, but that hasn't been the case here at the CIMB. Six of the last eight champions here have been in their 30s or older, with the exception of two-time winner Justin Thomas. Winning in the fall can set up the rest of your season and earn valuable FedEx Cup points, and two-time runner-up here Gary Woodland (34 years-old), and past FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel (31 years-old) could be two players to watch closely this week.
The CIMB is still seeking its first Asian champion and the region's best hope for a homegrown winner might be Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat. Aphibarnrat makes his debut as a full PGA Tour member this week and gained his card largely on the strength of two top-5 performances in World Golf Championships last season. Kiradech has plenty of game to win. A bomb-and-gouge style of play, paired with his colorful personality has made him one of the more lovable characters in the sport (he once shaved his hair and eyebrows just to attend a Buddhist camp, and has a self-proclaimed Yeezy obsession). A win this week in the "Wild East" would put Aphibarnrat on the fast track to becoming the next big thing in golf.
After last year's CIMB, TPC Kuala Lumpur West underwent an intensive 10-month renovation to resurface turf and modify hole designs. The new grasses are identical to those at TPC Sawgrass, home to THE PLAYERS Championship. Fairways have more run and the green surroundings are mown short to provide run-off areas and options for a greater variety of recovery shots. And don't be surprised if a new course record is set this week. West will play shorter because of the faster fairways, and the rough will not be very penal because it hasn't matured enough since the renovations. Combined with a new Bermuda grass that's consistently fast and true, and we might have a legitimate 57 Watch on our hands.
The short 140-yard, par-3, 4th hole removed a front bunker and extended the green forward to create more hole options above the steep runoff. The 386-yard, par-4, 7th hole reduced the left fairway bunker to effectively widen the right fairway, and now rewards short hitters as well as longer ones for accurate drives. A section of the stream was filled in on the 497-yard, par-4, 12th hole to allow for a greater variety of approach shots. A closely mown swale named "Valley of Sin" rests where the right greenside bunker used to reside to allow for a greater variety of recovery shots. Finally, the 336-yard, par-4, 17th hole features a new hollow and steep rise up the front of the green, and a closely mown slope down the right side of the green putting an increased premium on distance control.
TPC Kuala Lumpur West is always one of the easiest courses on Tour, and this week it will play as a downright birdie-fest. You'll want to fill your rosters with players who frequently have wedge in their hands, putt well, and rank high in Birdie Average. A handful of players in the field meet these standards and should be locks for top-10 finishes (Justin Thomas, Xander Schauffele, and Gary Woodland). I see Keegan Bradley outlasting all of them however, as he continues his great play from the FedEx Cup playoffs and grabs his second victory in just four weeks.

CONDOMINIUM CONFLICTS WITH ZONING REGULATIONS – RHODE ISLAND
Declarants of condominiums in Rhode Island may sometimes encounter resistance from the City or Town when attempting to create a condominium based on the misunderstanding of the fact that a condominium is a form of ownership and not a form of use. This article addresses this issue as it applies under the laws of Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Condominium Act prohibits discrimination by local law against condominiums. "A zoning, subdivision, building code, or other real estate law, ordinance or regulation may not prohibit the condominium form of ownership or impose any requirement upon a condominium which it would not impose upon a physically identical development under a different form of ownership, or otherwise regulate the creation, governance, or existence of the condominium form of ownership" (R.I.G.L. 34-36.1-1.06). Unfortunately, discrimination against the condominium form of ownership has been common in Rhode Island.
There are many different types of properties that have been developed as or converted into condominiums. More typical forms of condominium ownership include residential, office, retail, and industrial units. Other not so typical condo projects include residential, commercial, and industrial land only units; parking lots; boat docs; time-shares; and beach cabanas. Many declarants of condominiums have experienced discrimination against the condominium form of ownership. In the past, some cities and towns within Rhode Island had initially refused to record declarations of condominiums thereby preventing the creation of condominiums. The problem is likely a matter of misunderstanding that a condominium is merely a form of ownership rather than a desire to discriminate. Case history demonstrates that this problem arises more frequently in the less typical condominiums types (e.g. parking lots, improved land unit condominiums and legal non-conforming properties). A number of Rhode Island cases support the premise that discrimination by local municipalities is not uncommon.
The town of South Kingstown tried to prevent the creation of a parking lot condominium. The matter was litigated. In the case of McConnel v. Town of South Kingstown, the court held that a conversion of a parking lot into individual units was not subject to the town of South Kingstown's regulation as a subdivision (See 543 A.2d 249; 1998 R.I. Lexus 103). In the same matter the Town attempted to prevent the formation of a retail condominium. The court properly held that the conversion of a legally non-conforming multi-unit retail property does not constitute a subdivision of real property nor is it a "use" which can be regulated pursuant to the Town's zoning ordinances (See 1987 R.I. Super. LEXIS 163).
The Town of Westerly tried to restrict the creation of a beach cabana condominium. The Rhode Island Superior Court held that Westerly zoning board improperly added a condition "that the form of owners of beach cabana condominiums shall be through membership only not through individual ownership as in condo ownership." The court properly concluded that "to restrict a form of property ownership in the hopes of curing a possible parking problem is clearly an error of law" (See 1991 R.I. Super LEXIS 198).
The town of Coventry attempted to apply its subdivision regulations in the case of Coventry v. Glickman. The court properly held that a legal non-conforming parcel of land which was improved by the federal government with thirty-two single-family houses could be sold individually and were not subject to the Town's subdivision regulations (See 429 A.2d 440; 1981 R.I. LEXIS 1142).
The town of Westerly attempted to prevent the proper formation of a hotel condominium. In the case of Westerly v. Waldo, the court properly held that a hotel could be converted to a condominium form of ownership. (524 A.2d 117; 1987 R.I. LEXIS 471)
All of the above explained cases describe instances where declarants of condominiums were forced to litigate in order to merely use the statutorily authorized condominium form of ownership. It is the author's hope that through a discussion of the above cases the use of the condominium form of ownership will become less discriminated against and more easily utilized without the necessity of costly litigation.

The Philatelic Youth Council of New Zealand Incorporated (PYC) was formed in 1985 by the New Zealand Philatelic Federation to promote youth philately in New Zealand. The PYC now stands alone as an independent entity but maintains a special relationship with the Federation. The PYC is a non-profit organisation that relies on the donations it receives from stamp collectors and other interested organisations.
The rules the Council are contained in the Constitution of the PYC.
At most New Zealand Exhibitions PYC has a presence. Depending on the size and location PYC usually plans some activities.

THE THIRD Coming
Slam|November - December 2020
FOR DJ WAGNER, SON OF DAJUAN AND GRANDSON OF MILT—BOTH FORMER NBA PLAYERS—BASKETBALL RUNS IN HIS FAMILY'S BLOOD. OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS, HE'LL USE THAT TALENT AND HIS NO. 1 RANKING IN THE CLASS OF 2023 TO LEAD CAMDEN HS TO THE TOP OF THE BASKETBALL WORLD (AGAIN).
FRANKLYN CALLE
A COLD DRIZZLE IS coming down on a late October afternoon while DJ Wagner and his father, Dajuan, are standing in front of a construction site on Park Boulevard in Camden, NJ. There are a plethora of iron beams standing in front of them, as the new building's facade begins to take shape. To the left of them is a cardboard rendering poster of what the final product will look like once it's completed in September of 2021. They repeatedly glance over at the image and then turn their attention right back to the construction site.
The site was home to the century-old Camden High School, whose classic castle tower structure was demolished a couple of years ago to make way for a state-of-the-art $133 million new facility that is expected to be ready for students next fall. In the meantime, students have been attending a neighboring school, although classes have since gone virtual due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
In the old building, the Wagner family's imprints were four decades deep, where each hoop star helped propel Camden onto the national stage.
First, it was Milt Wagner, who led the Panthers to a state championship in 1979 and was a McDonald's All-American in 1981. He and Camden teammate Billy Thompson went on to Louisville, where together they won an NCAA national title in 1986. Milt was then drafted in the second round of the 1986 NBA Draft and ultimately reunited with Thompson while playing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Together, they won an NBA championship in 1988.
They are currently the only teammate duo in history to win titles together at all three levels.
Milt's son, Dajuan Sr, donned Camden's purple and gold almost two decades later and instantly became one of the Garden State's all-time greats. He averaged 27.3 points as a freshman and 35.3 points as a sophomore. He led the Panthers to a state title as a junior (which included an 80-point performance) and famously dropped 100 points in a game against Camden County Tech as a senior. The All-American graduated Camden as New Jersey's all-time leading scorer with 3,462 points. The career points and three-digit single-game performance are still-standing state records. After one season at Memphis under John Calipari, Dajuan would get selected with the sixth pick in the 2002 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers. His professional career, though, was cut short due to a series of injuries and health issues, including a battle with ulcerative colitis.
Almost two decades after the Dajuan days at Camden, his son, DJ, is now rocking the same purple and gold threads that his father and grandfather once did—all while being labeled next heir to the city's throne. Only a sophomore, DJ is ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2023.
DJ is ready to write his own story, to make his version of the Wagner legacy one for the books.

UN Chronicle
The Millennium Campaign: Successes and Challenges in Mobilizing Support for the MDGs
Eveline Herfkens
Eveline Herfkens was appointed Executive Coordinator of the UN Millennium Campaign in 2002. The Campaign encourages citizens around the world in their efforts to hold Governments to account for the promises they made at the United Nations Millennium Summit, held in 2000 in New York. In the Millennium Declaration, Governments agreed to a set of eight goals, with concrete targets that, when achieved, would end extreme poverty across the planet.
It was the best news for decades, when in 2000 world leaders acknowledged that the most urgent matter at the dawn of the new century was to put an end to poverty, and that the world has the resources and the know-how to do so. With the UN Millennium Declaration, the international community finally achieved the political consensus on what should be done by whom, after years of disagreements between non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Governments, between international financial institutions and the United Nations system, and between the North and the South. Leaders repeatedly declared that they would "spare no effort" to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015.
The MDGs brought together for the first time a shared vision on development, representing a global partnership based on a shared responsibility by all countries. Developing countries have the primary responsibility for achieving these Goals. But rich countries acknowledged in MDG 8 -- develop a global partnership for development -- that poor countries cannot achieve the goal unless rich countries increase and improve the effectiveness of their aid and change the rules of trade to foster development. The MDGs can only be achieved if Governments of both rich and poor countries live up to their promises.
The MDGs have their limitations. They do not capture other commitments made in the Millennium Declaration on governance, transparency, participation and human rights, which are not simple to measure, but are essential for the achievement of the Goals. Furthermore, while the first seven MDGs reflect international consensus derived from earlier UN conferences, the content of MDG 8, involving rich countries' commitments, was only discussed and agreed internationally in other fora following the Millennium Summit, such as the Doha Development Agenda (2001), the Monterrey Consensus (2002) and the Paris Declaration (2005). However, the essence of these commitments was reaffirmed in the Outcome Document of the World Summit in 2005.
Global goals, local solutions. While the MDGs were set at the global level, they can only become meaningful if they are adopted and adapted for local relevance. The Goals should not be a "one-size-fits-all" cookie-cutter solution, but should be localized and customized to country circumstances. Priorities and the degree of ambition should be locally determined and owned. Achieving the MDGs on social services, such as education and health, can be fairly straightforward and would involve investing in these sectors at the country level. However, country-specific MDGs also require that the poverty goal is not neglected. This, in turn, involves a complex set of domestic and international policies, supported by investment leading to income generation through "decent work" in the productive sectors, particularly agriculture and agro-processing, which for nearly all least developed countries are crucial sectors for generating labour-intensive growth for the poor.
The UN Millennium Campaign. The MDGs have proven to be of great value as a framework for citizens' mobilization. Over the years, the United Nations has set some 50 goals for economic and social development. But the degree to which the "goals set" became "goals met" depended on citizens' support and the degree to which they were publicly recognized and "owned" beyond the development agencies and UN officials. In short, citizens' mobilization is key.
The MDGs will not be achieved at the United Nations. Although it can create a platform for Governments to make commitments, it cannot enforce compliance by Member States. Only the citizens and elected representatives can hold their Governments accountable for the promises they made at the United Nations. Obviously, the international community has the resources and the know-how to achieve the MDGs. At the Millennium Summit, agreement was reached on the division of labour between rich and poor countries. Thus, as UN Secretaries-General Kofi Annan and Ban Ki-moon have repeatedly stated about the MDGs, "the lacking ingredient is political will".
Political action at the national level is essential. As politics and voters are local, achieving the MDGs needs to become an attractive "vote-getter" issue at the national level. But this requires awareness of the Goals and citizen advocacy to remind Governments of their promises. In 2002, Mr. Annan and former United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Mark Malloch Brown decided to launch a campaign for this purpose. In consultation with heads of all UN agencies, I was invited to create and lead this effort as an inter-agency UN initiative, but functioning at "arms length" from the UN system. It was the first time that the United Nations initiated an effort to build awareness of internationally agreed objectives, and to inspire and mobilize citizens to hold their Governments accountable for their achievement.The United Nations and the Millennium Campaign do not involve themselves in domestic partisan politics of Member States. The Campaign only focuses on helping to strengthen constituencies for pro-poor policies and advocacy for the implementation of promises already made, as embodied in the negotiated outcome documents of international meetings in which all Governments have joined the consensus. Living up to these promises requires public awareness and citizen advocacy, suggesting to political leaders that they will win, not lose, votes if they support policies to achieve the MDGs.
The Millennium Campaign convenes, informs and helps inspire and mobilize citizens and their organizations. In developing countries, these partnerships are focused on advocating for more pro-poor, inclusive and transparent policies to achieve MDGs 1 to 7. In rich countries, the focus is on more pro-development policies, as committed to in MDG 8, such as increased and more effective aid, debt relief and trade opportunities, as well as less trade distortion through agricultural subsidies. In country after country, the Campaign has partnered with local civil society, often already engaged in development, and reached out to other actors, local authorities, faith-based organizations, youth networks, unions and popular media like MTV, fostering the use of the MDGs as a common rallying framework for action.
At the international level, the Campaign has initiated civil society networking in the Global Coalition against Poverty and partnered with international networks, ranging from United Cities and Local Governments and multiple parliamentarian networks to the World Scout Movement, to promote awareness of the MDGs and action for their implementation. These efforts resulted in a host of local events and activities, promotion of the MDGs and many invitations to address relevant committees in national parliaments.
A global partnership for development. The work of the Millennium Campaign faces some of the same challenges of development cooperation: the perception that we are outsiders who demand visibility or claim credit and undermine local ownership that is critical to effectiveness. With this in mind, we have always been cautious to balance our work on the ground. The Campaign has successfully contributed to raising awareness of the MDGs and to rallying large numbers of people behind pro-poor policies by bringing on board a large part of civil society, including the Global Call to Action against Poverty, which at first was quite skeptical (in the North) or lacked ownership of the MDGS (in the South). Our strategy has also been to engage a wide range of actors, such as youth organizations, local authorities and faith-based organizations, many of whom did not have global poverty prominently on their agendas before.
All these efforts culminated in over 43.7 million people in 127 countries participating on 16 and 17 October 2007 to "Stand Up Against Poverty", which broke the Guinness World Record of 23.5 million set the previous year. People from all walks of life worldwide came together -- in schools, on the streets, marketplaces, in front of government buildings and local councils, in houses of worship, at sports and cultural events, public landmarks and workplaces, including at UN Headquarters in New York -- to stand up, physically and intentionally, against poverty, inequality and in support of the MDGs. In countries where participation and media coverage were extensive, politicians certainly are bound to pay attention. And as the credibility and legitimacy of the MDGs is reinforced as the most effective rallying point for meeting the development challenges, they figure more prominently on political agendas.
Not all Governments live up to their promises, but many in the South and the North are doing better than before. In developing countries, increased demands for accountability foster improved governance and transparency, which are key to the achievement of the Goals. MDG campaigns in "lagging" European Union countries have helped to cement the political will of EU members to set a timetable and deadline to achieve the 0.7-per-cent gross national income for development assistance. However, while various campaigns in the North have been successful in pressuring for an increase in aid budgets, the complexity of other MDG 8 components make them less suited for public discourse.
MDG 8 is not just about official development assistance. As promised in the Doha Development Agenda, rich countries need to reform their trade policies, which deny poor countries the chance to earn their way out of poverty by selling their products in rich consumer markets. Even worse, agricultural policies destroy their local markets: 70 per cent of the world's poor live in rural areas and depend on agriculture, but cannot lift themselves out of poverty as they cannot compete against subsidized production. Moreover, the delivery of aid matters as much as its volume: if it bypasses or undermines the developing countries' primary responsibility for development, it does not contribute and can undermine the achievement of the MDGs in a sustainable way. The attitude of "we will save Africa" or "we will end poverty" -- "we" referring to experts and money -- fits in perfectly with the myth of Western superiority, and even reinforces it. We lecture, you listen; we give, you receive; we know, you learn; we take care of things, because you cannot. By undermining Africans' own responsibilities and self-confidence, the donor community takes over.
The most important aid reform is realizing that donors do not develop; developing countries must develop themselves. This implies that the role of donors is to enable these countries to take full responsibility. At best, traditional donor-driven projects have been islands of perfection in the midst of oceans of misery; at worst, they would collapse back into the ocean once the donors left, since Governments usually could not afford to continue, for example, paying doctors or teachers, or even electricity bills. Moreover, each project burdened Governments with a host of rules and reporting requirements, draining weak local capacity and leaving them unable to run their own countries and be accountable to their citizens.
Aid by itself cannot "buy" the MDGs; particularly, "one project (or village) at a time" will not make a dent if it bypasses and ignores government policies and responsibilities. The good news is that, for the first time ever, donors have agreed that they are part of the problem and, as such, are willing to become part of the solution, allowing recipient countries to take on their responsibilities. In the 2005 Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, the donor community signed concrete commitments -- with indicators and deadlines for their achievement -- to respect home-grown strategies and align donor support accordingly. All development partners agreed to work together to coordinate and harmonize procedures, and to do away with individual projects, evaluations and missions. On their part, developing countries recommitted themselves to exercise leadership in developing and implementing their national development strategies through broad consultative processes; make progress towards building institutions and establishing structures that deliver effective governance and equitable access to basic social services for their citizens; take leadership in the public financial management reform process; and intensify efforts to mobilize domestic resources.
Achievement of the MDGs will not happen unless the Governments of developing countries take full responsibility for their actions, work properly and are accountable to their own citizens. That is the "global deal", embedded in the division of labour in the MDGs, codified in the Monterrey Consensus and reconfirmed in numerous international conferences. Even in aid-dependent countries, aid is a minor part of the overall development finance and mobilization of domestic resources. Spending these resources well is the only way to ultimately finance the achievement of the Goals in a sustainable way.
This is what the MDGs are about: an agreement between rich and poor countries, each of which must be held accountable by their own respective citizens. In the North, the focus should be on trade and aid, ensuring that it supports home-grown and "owned" country strategies -- earmarking for certain goals is inconsistent with this. In the South, the focus should be on holding Governments to account for their efforts to achieve the MDGs, particularly for citizens who are most likely to need them: the excluded and most vulnerable.
When Governments live up to their promises, the results are remarkable. Even some of the poorest countries -- Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mozambique, Rwanda, United Republic of Tanzania -- are on track to achieve several MDGs, while Ghana is likely to achieve the eradication of poverty goal in 2008. The "secret" of these success stories is, on the one hand, donors supporting national policies and priorities generously and effectively and, on the other, improved policies -- MDGs adapted to become national goals, clear strategies translated into budget priorities, greater accountability and transparency at all levels, public debate and involvement and a focus on delivering results.
The global trends call for optimism. Historical estimates suggest that the number of extreme poor has been consistently above 1 billion since the late nineteenth century. Since then, the world population has quadrupled, but economic progress has overcome this demographic explosion. During the last decade, the number of extreme poor has fallen by 200 million, and present trends indicate that this figure will indeed be halved by 2015. More children go to school than ever before, with tens of millions more today than in 2000. Even if not all the Goals are achieved in every country on target, individual success stories and global acceleration call for celebration and prove that the MDGs are achievable -- if all Governments honour their pledges.

Has Diet Coke lost the plot?
Most of us will remember those Diet Coke ads from the '90s, the ones where all the women in an office rushed to ogle a man with his top off, who happened to be drinking Diet Coke.
Today, man ogling is back in a new spot created by Wieden + Kennedy London. This time, the women are two 'grannies', Vera and Gladys, who are sitting on the sofa scrolling through 'twinge', and texting each other about potential matches (it's not clear what phones they're using, but we'll assume they're some of the best smartphones available).
Gladys sends a picture of Derek, 84, with the text: "I'm in, 100% my type, right?" and Vera swipes to see a picture of Derek with his top off, drinking a Diet Coke. Which is basically another way to say 'Take me, ladies, I'm yours'.
Vera definitely remembers the '90s ad, as she replies: TOTAL PLAYA, with a laugh-cry emoji and a total of four exclamation marks to signify maximum excitement. And while Spanish speakers might read that as 'total beach,' we'll assume it's supposed to say 'player'.
Vera then says, "not looking for long-term though, am I babes?" before doing some grr-ing at the picture of Derek. Yes, you read that right. It's the 1994 advert, but everyone's got older and we're now ogling men on a phone screen instead of through the window. It's a bit like New Coke coming round again.
You can watch the spot in all its glory below:
The ad campaign, named, 'You Do You' comes accompanied with eight limited edition cans, which, according to W+K's website, "celebrate popular phrases including, 'Can't even', 'Okay, next' and 'It's lit'." There's also a social campaign partnership with Snapchat, where users can choose a Face Lens with the same phrases.
We'll admit it, our first thought was 'what on earth has happened here?' Diet Coke has gone completely off-piste. However, ads that provoke a strong reaction, good or bad, are usually the ones you're more likely to remember. If you've never heard of the "popular phrases", we're gonna bet you're a) over 25 or b) okay we don't really know what else, they're not exactly in our vocabulary either.
(Image credit: Coca-Cola/W+K London)
On the Coca-Cola website, Tuuli Turunen, marketing manager for Diet Coke, says: "Diet Coke is enjoyed every day and the launch of the new light-hearted campaign to celebrate everyday 'you do you' moments from embracing cultural trends to enjoying everyday pleasures aims to encourage our fans to just be themselves."
W+K, describing the campaign, says: "TV spots see people including two grannies defy conventional norms by unashamedly embracing mainstream trends."
So either we're out of touch with mainstream trends, or Coca-Cola and W+K are. We can't even…

SD small towns hit hard by department store closures
The pending closure of Shopko department stores may have devastating effects on six South Dakota small towns that will suffer job losses, decreased access to basic necessities and sales-tax reductions that could limit municipal services.
Written By: Bart Pfankuch / S.D. News Watch | Jan 12th 2019 - 7am.
The Shopko Hometown store in Wagner, located at 905 W. State Highway 46, is marked for store discounts as the store prepares to close next month. It is one of six South Dakota locations of the retail chain closing early this year. (Denelle Dvorak / For The Daily Republic)
The announcement that the retail chain will close several stores has stunned city and chamber of commerce officials in Dell Rapids, Redfield, Wagner and Webster who say their economies and residents will suffer from the closures. That number was driven up with the announcement Thursday that the Chamberlain and Custer stores will close in April. They say shoppers will soon have to drive up to an hour each way to buy home and living products, and they worry that opportunities for future growth of their towns could be hampered.
The Wisconsin-based retail chain said in December that as part of a restructuring strategy it will close more than three dozen Shopko stores across the Midwest. The closures in South Dakota will take place in four towns under 4,000 in population that do not have another department store. Three of the towns are geographically isolated.
Analysts say the closures are being driven by the increased ease of online shopping and the growth of mega-stores like Walmart that combine a traditional department store with a full grocery. Furthermore, some experts say the explosive growth of discounters like Dollar Tree and Dollar General - both of which operate in the South Dakota towns losing their Shopkos-have squeezed mid-sized retailers that cannot compete on price.
Officials from Shopko did not respond to several phone and email messages from South Dakota News Watch. But in previous press statements, the chain that has 363 stores in 24 states said it chose locations for closure based on a review of "the long-term outlook on profitability, sales trends, and potential growth."
In isolated rural areas of South Dakota, the pending closure of the Shopko stores - all of which opened within the past four years - has exposed the fragility of small-town economies. The store closures are taking both an economic and emotional toll on residents, business owners and those who work to ensure a vibrant future for their communities.
"I was born and raised here and I have a passion about my community and small towns in general," said Kelsey Doom, Director of Economic Development for Wagner Area Growth. "But I'm starting to wonder, 'How are we going to make it as a small town?'"
Major 'trickle-down' effect expected
The shifting nature of retail has led to store closings and financial concerns in both urban and rural areas of the country. Sioux Falls and Rapid City have been hit by the downfall of Sears, Herbergers and K-Mart, which is about to close its last South Dakota location in Rapid City.
Consumers in larger cities are protected by the diversity and depth of remaining retail offerings. In the four East River towns losing a Shopko, the closures are causing concern on several levels. Each closure will cost about 15 to 25 people their jobs in communities where skilled labor positions are plentiful but decent-paying retail positions are hard to come by.
The towns will each lose their only major retail outlet and access to the wide variety of clothing, toys, small appliances, food and other home goods typically sold by Shopko. Though all four communities are home to dollar stores, residents in Redfield, Wagner and Webster will have to drive roughly an hour and those in Dell Rapids about 20 minutes to shop at a comparable retail outlet. The lack of access to retail goods may cause a hardship for some populations, particularly lower-income and elderly residents.
The closures, officials say, could also inhibit future growth by limiting retail options that entice new residents and businesses that are critical to long-term economic stability in small towns. Having a large building sitting vacant at the entry point to their downtowns won't help encourage growth, either.
While overall the economy has been strong in Webster, a town of about 1,900 along U.S. Highway 12 in Day County, losing a prominent, highly visible retail outlet is a significant setback.
"With our businesses, it all adds up to a well-rounded community, which attracts people to come here for a job, to move here or for an industry to locate here because the more you have, the better off you are," said Webster Mayor Mike Grosek. "It gives you an uneasy feeling, and it's a big downer when a corporation comes down and just says, 'Thanks for everything, but see you later.'"
The towns losing their stores also will see the evaporation of a sizable chunk of sales tax revenue that could affect municipal operations ranging from police and fire protection to upkeep of streets and parks.
"In all these small communities, we live and die on the sales tax," said Justin Weiland, city administrator of Dell Rapids in northern Minnehaha County. "You strip away some of that sales tax and you strip away the ability to pay for your police department or your park system or the street projects you planned for next year."
Towns worked hard to land Shopko stores
Officials and residents of Dell Rapids were surprised and disappointed that Shopko had targeted the store in their community for closure.
The Shopko opened in a flourishing business plaza about 2.5 years ago on the northwest side of the city, said Weiland.
Sales at the store likely were hampered by an invasive 3-year road project that tore up Highway 115 in front of the store and between Dell Rapids and Interstate 29, Weiland said.
The Shopko closure and the road construction project highlight the fragility of small-town economies across South Dakota and the country.
"It was a three-year project that really disrupted the traffic pattern in the region," Weiland said. "All of our retailers on that corridor, the entrance to Dell Rapids, said the traffic problems really affected them."
A down year for agriculture or another major industry can also hurt a local economy. With ongoing trade wars and losses due to tariffs, heavy rains that made harvesting difficult and low commodity prices, many rural South Dakota small towns took a hit in 2018.
Local officials and business leaders fear the Shopko closures will have a significant economic ripple effect as patrons who now must leave town for clothes and other basic goods are likely to do more shopping in larger cities nearby.
In Wagner, a reservation town of about 1,600 people in Charles Mix County, losing Shopko is likely to entice even more people to make the hour drive to Mitchell or Yankton to shop for basic necessities and more, said Doom.
"It's going to be a huge trickle-down effect," said Doom, who also heads the Wagner Chamber of Commerce. "When they're at Walmart in Mitchell or Yankton, they're going to grab all their groceries and have dinner and spend money that they're not going to spend locally."
The towns where Shopko is closing are also losing out on investments made to lure the stores to locate there.
In Wagner, Doom said she worked with a local landlord to get Shopko a favorable lease on an existing building. The city also entered into a deal to give Shopko a sales tax rebate of up to $25,000 a year for five years, which saved the company about $70,000 in sales taxes over the past three years, Doom said.
Doom said she is pitching an idea to possibly divide up the 22,000 square-foot Shopko building and turn it into an event hall, multi-use retail plaza or hub for offices. Doom said she would love to attract a family-oriented enterprise such as a laser tag facility to the site.
In Webster, the city and local economic development group ponied up $50,000 in incentives to upgrade the building Shopko inhabited, and in Dell Rapids a land swap between a private landowner and the local development corporation helped that city attract a Shopko.

Custom Saddles To Help Kids With Special Needs Ride Horses Are Stolen In Apple Valley
Filed Under:ADHD, Equine Therapy, Horses, Quadriplegic, Special Needs
APPLE VALLEY (CBSLA.com) — Thousands of dollars worth of custom-made saddles designed to help kids with special needs ride horses were stolen in Apple Valley.
The saddles were stolen from the Double 6 Ranch on Yucca Loma Road.

CBS2's Adrianna Weingold spoke with Ty Nitti, the ranch owner, and parents about the crime.
On the last Saturday of every month, Nitti invites children with special needs to the ranch for free equine therapy.
But earlier this week, someone broke into the barn and stole saddles valued at $20,0000. The saddles were made for paraplegic and quadriplegic children.
"They didn't just take from us; they took from these children," Nitti says.
Bubba, 4, is diagnosed with attention-deficit disorder. His mother, Lisa Morgan, says at home he can be out of control. But since starting the equine therapy a few months ago, Morgan says Bubba has calmed down immeasurably.

"There's a lot of children who come over here and ride these horses, and for them not to be able to do it because someone stole from them, that's terrible," Morgan says.
Nitti started the program five years ago when his own son showed signs of autism. He said riding changed his son's life and has since changed the lives of hundreds of other children.
"We've had our very first quadriplegic child on a horse that was able to pick up his entire upper torso and sit up straight," Nitti said.
Even without the custom saddles, Nitti says he's determined to keep program running. He's hoping to raise enough money for new saddles through his training and rodeo events, but more than anything, Nitti says, he just wants the thieves to return what they took from so many children.
"This is that one day a month that they get to be free and have fun and not be ridiculed or criticized, and you took that away from them," he says to the thieves.

Check pH of the sample solution by dipping the pH strip (about 1/2 cm.) into the solution and comparing to the pH scale provided. If the pH is higher than 4.0 add 1 drop of reagent 2 and then check with the pH strip again after cutting off the used section.
If the pH is below 3.0, add one drop of reagent 3 and then check with the pH strip again after cutting off the used section.
If the result is higher than 0.25 ppm (maximum range), and a more detailed result is required, dilute the original sample solution with distilled water by 5 or 10 times the volume and re-test with another kit. Then multiply the result by 5 or 10 to obtain correct value in ppm.

Temperatures inside are often not perfect for the best plant growth. Whether you are starting seeds indoors or trying to keep a warm-loving house plant healthy, higher temperatures are necessary. Soil temperatures are usually cooler than the surrounding air temperature, and the roots are what need heat most when starting many summer plants from seed or growing tropical house plants. Providing the proper warmth ensures the plants grow strong and healthy.
Set seedling trays on the seedling heat mat, available from garden stores and seed suppliers. Set most plants on the mat after they have germinated, except for peppers and other heat-loving vegetables that need bottom heat to germinate.
Set the temperature on the mat to the recommended growing temperature on the seed packet. If no temperature is indicated, most seedlings do best at 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Leave the mat on for 24 hours a day until the seedlings are ready to plant outside or into permanent pots.
Use a seedling heat mat during the daytime for established house plants. Set it between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit or follow the recommendation on the plant tag if provided. Turn the heat mat off at night when plants require a lower temperature.
Check the moisture level in the container every two to three days, as bottom heat dries the soil more quickly. Water as needed to maintain soil moisture.
Place the plants away from areas that are not prone to drafts from windows or air vents. Cool air is drying and lowers the temperature around the plant. Grow seedlings under grow lights so the cool air emanating through window glass doesn't damage them.
Plug heat mats into an automatic timer when using them for houseplants. This way you don't have to remember to turn them off and on.
Avoid using heat lamps. These dry the plant and may burn the foliage. If you must use a heat lamp, leave it on for only two or three hours a day and mist the plant with water regularly to maintain humidity.
