Ethiopia, Addis Ababa and the Airport and MRO Industry
The Ethiopian airport industry is considered as one of the one the worlds fast growing in the sector. Addis Ababa is home to the country's largest international airport, Bole International Airport which has expanded from handling less than one million passengers per year, to over 6.5 million in a mere decade*. The airport sees both cargo and passenger flights, with over 350.000 tons of cargo coming through the airport each year and is home to the country's largest operators Ethiopian Airlines and EAE, Ethiopian Airports Enterprise.
Not only this, Ethiopian MRO Services, established in 1957 and based at Bole International Airport, is a division of Ethiopian Airlines which provides MRO services for aircraft, engines and components. The division provides MRO services for aircraft, engines and components with its base at Bole International Airport, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Over 2,500 employees work for Ethiopian MRO both at the base and line maintenance. The division aims to be the leading MRO service provider in Africa.
The Ethiopian government has recognized the importance of the airport and in particular the aviation & MRO industry, will make to the country. Subsequently, certain policy initiatives have been put in place to encourage foreign investment, such as zero cargo limits for foreign investors. Notwithstanding, the EAE, is tirelessly working to construct, expand and upgrade airports and other related infrastructures so as to provide quality services, with the long term aim to be the leading airport service provider in Africa by 2025.*
Ethiopia's strong geographic positioning with its proximity to the Middle East, abundant skilled labor force and recent forecasts for infrastructure development is why BCI considers Addis Ababa as the ideal setting for the first edition of AIMA Africa.

Ten years ago this month the ' ULSTER WORKERS COUNCIL' strike brought down the power-sharing executive of BRIAN FAULKNER and GERRY FITT .
ANDY POLLAK talks to UDA leader ANDY TYRIE , one of the men behind the 1974 work stoppage , and GEORGE SEAWRIGHT , one of the new breed of hard-line Loyalist spokesmen , about the outlook for Northern Ireland's (sic) Protestants in the 1980's .
From ' FORTNIGHT ' magazine , May 1984 .
The failure of the 1977 work stoppage was a turning point for the UDA : Andy Tyrie stated : " The British government stopped taking the loyalist community seriously after 1977 because they saw them so divided . What they did learn from 1977 was that people here are more concerned with their jobs , their British status and their respectable image because they're British .
Here more than anywhere else once a Loyalist becomes educated , he moves away and becomes part of a big bloc of people who will not become involved . The (British) government studies this and found that the most it can expect from most loyalists is to march about and protest . But if it means taking on the British establishment in a civil war situation , that is totally different . "
The UDA too learned from the 1977 failure - Andy Tyrie and his UDA 'lieutenants' resolved to turn the UDA into a permanent organisation . At first this involved going into electoral politics on an ' independent Ulster (sic) ' platform , which was less to do with 'territorial independence ' than "...identifying ourselves clearly as being Ulster (sic) people . " But around 1981-1982 it was decided to 'rest the political thing' because there was so much confusion among Unionists and in-fighting among their political leaders .
The UDA decided that if it was going to have to prepare , in the face of the rapidly growing Sinn Fein threat for an eventual 'doomsday situation' , it would need to be friendly with all the Unionist and Loyalist political groupings . A 'Front Group' would be needed .......
The Sinn Fein electoral wagon is slowing down . As a result , the IRA is likely to begin stepping up its war against the Northern State . GENE KERRIGAN reports from Belfast and also interviews Sinn Fein's DANNY MORRISON on the party's recent successes and failures .
From ' MAGILL ' magazine , September 1984.
Belfast city centre is now being advertised as one marvellous big shopping centre - which it is - and some republicans point , for example , to Great Victoria Street : " It used to be a derelict street , you go down there now it's like Los Angeles at night-time ... " This is not just spite on behalf of the Provos ; when the (British) authorities emphasise that there is a return to normality they are making a political point - that the state is governable under British rule despite the best efforts of the IRA . The Provos see a campaign of bombing as a way of undermining such claims and the prestige and credibility of the security (sic) forces .
The successes of Sinn Fein in the electoral field have acted as a political constraint on the IRA (' 1169 ....' Comment - ...to the point that the PIRA organisation was 'stood down' last month , July 2005 ) - most IRA activity is now concentrated on the relentless killing of members of the security (sic) forces , a military tactic which is certainly more acceptable to Sinn Fein supporters than is the bombing tactic . The killing of Sean Downes in front of TV cameras undermined the credibility of those in Belfast , London and Dublin who had claimed that the RUC was a reformed force and necessitated the entering of caveats . In the nationalist ghettos , however , that claim of reform was never accepted . There is awareness that Sean Downes was the fifteenth person to die from a ' baton round ' , some of the previous
deaths being of children clearly not involved in violence .
The RUC shoot-to-kill policy , the resignation of the Armagh coroner , the complaints of lawyers about the 'supergrass' tactic , have all emphasised that the killing of Sean Downes was special only because it was so public . All of this created the circumstances in which Sinn Fein could make electoral gains even though the IRA was regularly killing members of the security (sic) forces in often horrific circumstances . In the short term , however , the Provos' political base is unlikely to spread very much wider . The electoral campaign was never seen by the Provos as being central to their strategy .......
The Evelyn Glenholmes affair not only involved unlawful activity by gardai , it stemmed from the chaotic condition of the force which has resulted from ignoring the warning signs of the past decade .
By Gene Kerrigan.
First published in ' MAGILL ' magazine , April 1986 .
In May 1984 the 'Kerry Babies' saga began ; a public inquiry was launched in January 1985 , supposedly because the Hayes family made allegations against the gardai .
4. Expediency .
Up to the Kerry Babies case , there was a knowledge within the gardai that rules could be bent and stretched ; the courts invariably sided with the garda story and convicted .
There was some 'rowing back' ; some judges were beginning to challenge the abuses of Section 30 , which most remarkably led to the release of Robert Trimbole , and there was an even more important decision on Section 30 last year by Mr. Justice Barr . But there was still no reassessment in political circles , still no acknowledgement that there was within the force a trend towards righteousness , a crusading spirit in which gardai could ' know ' something and could then set about 'proving' it , could take shortcuts .
In the wake of the Kerry Babies report expediency ruled - the Hayes allegations were unsustainable and the family was discredited . Yet there was the question of watertight confessions to a crime they did not commit (' 1169 .... ' Comment - ..shades of the Donegal 'hit-and-run/murder' affair .. ) . Four gardai were chosen for sacrifice .......

text: Hi everyone, I'm sure those of you that are actively involved in LFS have noticed that my participation has been non-existent for quite some time now. So, this should probably not shock anyone, but I think it's time that I step away from my duties as an editor for LFS and BLFS. I still enjoy reading about LFS and think that it's a really great project (especially for education), but my interests have moved elsewhere. As I've spent more time poking and prodding the software over the years, I've become less interested in the packaging of the software and more interested in the development of the software. Time spent developing has been cutting into the packaging side more and more to the point where the only packages I typically build from source now are the ones I'm developing or need the development version of. In a sense, I've moved upstream a bit and spend time working on various other projects that LFS consumes. Primarily, I've been working on Xorg. So, if you follow the software that's used in LFS, this is probably not the last you'll see of me. I'll probably stay subscribed to the -dev lists and poke in from time to time, too. I really appreciate everything that the LFS community has done for me over the years. This was the project that introduced me to the world of open source software. This was also the project were I contributed to and the first I got commit access to. I've learned a ton about the FOSS ecosystem through LFS. There are a lot of people in the LFS world that have made an impact on me over the years. I had a lot of fun working here because of the people. One person I have to single out is Jeremy Huntwork. He nurtured my early contributions, was the one to push for my commit rights, and really made developing LFS a fun place for me to be. I hope no one else takes that as a slight. Anyway, thanks for the opportunity and all the experiences. Feel free to remove my commit rights on the servers and my name from the books. -- Dan

Executives from Awok, Quiqup and Fetchr to talk last mile disruption at Leaders in Logistics
The tremendous growth of the e-commerce market has resulted in a corresponding increase in direct-to-consumer deliveries over the last few years, putting strain on e-com platforms to manage last mile fulfilment affordably.
At Leaders in Logistics 2019, executives from Awok.com, the technology-driven fetchr and last mile disruptor Quiqup will discuss the entry to the region of e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and how this has resulted in increased consumer expectations for fast, free delivery.
Driving this interest in the last mile are the consumers at the end of the supply chain. Their round-the-clock purchasing habits and door-to-door demands are fuelling changes in retail businesses, but also in logistics.
Click & collect and locker collection points are on the rise, and it's also the reason why more flexible and innovative delivery and production systems, such as using drones and 3D printing, could be on the horizon.
Consumers want to be able to choose whatever meets their needs — the fastest. With the "last mile" considered the most expensive, inefficient and pollution generating segment of the supply chain, ensuring the right kind of logistics infrastructure is vital.
Smarter last mile delivery facilities with specialised features not found in conventional warehouses to serve consumers, retailers and delivery points are crucial. As are the technologies employed to improve the efficiency of last mile delivery.
This session will explore the various solutions last mile service providers should consider in order to meet the needs, demands and expectations of both customers and merchants and discuss how to integrate 'last mile' solutions into an ever more sophisticated supply chain.
Rabih Allaf – Growth Director, fetchr
Nektarios Triantafyllidis – Regional Director Logistics, Middle East, PTV MENA Region

Cisco Meraki MR access points offer a number of authentication methods for wireless association, including the use of external authentication servers to support WPA2-Enterprise. This article outlines Dashboard configuration to use a RADIUS server for WPA2-Enterprise authentication, RADIUS server requirements, and an example server configuration using Windows NPS.
WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X authentication can be used to authenticate users or computers in a domain. The supplicant (wireless client) authenticates against the RADIUS server (authentication server) using an EAP method configured on the RADIUS server. The gateway APs (authenticator) role is to send authentication messages between the supplicant and authentication server. This means the RADIUS server is responsible for authenticating users.
APs perform EAPOL exchanges between the supplicant and convert these to RADIUS Access-requests messages, which are sent to the RADIUS server's IP address and UDP port specified in Dashboard. Gateway APs need to receive a RADIUS Access-accept message from the RADIUS server in order to grant the supplicant access to the network.
For best performance, it is recommended to have the RADIUS server and gateway APs located within the same layer-2 broadcast domain to avoid firewall, routing, or authentication delays. Keep in mind the AP is not responsible for authenticating wireless clients and acts as an intermediary between clients and the RADIUS server.
The following image provides a detailed breakdown of the PEAP with MSCHAPv2 association process:
When WPA2-Enterprise with 802.1X authentication is configured, the following attributes are present in the Access-Request messages sent from the Cisco Meraki access point to the customer's RADIUS server.
Note: Please refer to RFC 2865 for details on these attributes, additional notes for certain attributes are included below.
Note: BSSID MAC addresses will be different for each configured SSID. Additional information is available for Calculating Cisco Meraki BSSID MAC Addresses
The following attributes are honored by Cisco Meraki when received in an Access-Accept message from the customer's RADIUS server to the Cisco Meraki access point:
The most common EAP configuration is PEAP with MSCHAPv2, which prompts users for credentials (either user or machine authentication).
Note: Certificate-based authentication using EAP-TLS is also supported by the Meraki platform, but is outside the scope of this document. For more information on WPA2-Enterprise using EAP-TLS, please refer to our documentation.
There are many server options available for RADIUS, which should work with MR access points if configured correctly. Please refer to your RADIUS server documentation for specifics, but the key requirements for WPA2-Enterprise with Meraki are as follows:
Once the RADIUS server is configured, refer to the Dashboard Configuration section below for instructions on how to add your RADIUS server to Dashboard.
The most common method of authentication with PEAP-MSCHAPv2 is user auth, in which clients are prompted to enter their domain credentials. It is also possible to configure RADIUS for machine authentication, in which the computers themselves are authenticated against RADIUS, so the user doesn't need to provide any credentials to gain access. Machine auth is typically accomplished using EAP-TLS, though some RADIUS server options do make it simple to accomplish machine auth using PEAP-MSCHAPv2 (including Windows NPS, as outlined in the example config below).
Note: "Machine Authentication" is not the same as MAC-based authentication, which is another configuration option in Dashboard under Wireless > Configure > Access Control. Machine authentication, specifically, refers to devices authenticating against RADIUS
The following example configuration outlines how to set up Windows NPS as a RADIUS server, with Active Directory acting as a userbase:
Microsoft's RADIUS server offering for Windows Server 2008 and later is their Network Policy Server (NPS). Please refer to the following two Microsoft documents for instructions on adding the NPS role to Windows Server, and registering the new NPS server in Active Directory (allowing it to use AD as its userbase):
A RADIUS server must host a certificate that allows both network clients and Meraki APs to validate the server's identity. There are three options for this certificate:
Once a certificate has been acquired, please refer to Microsoft documentation for instructions on how to import a certificate.
In this scenario, APs communicate with clients and receive their domain credentials, which the AP then forwards to NPS. In order for an AP's RADIUS access-request message to be processed by NPS, it must first be added as a RADIUS client/authenticator by its IP address. Since only gateway APs have an IP address on the LAN, all gateway APs in the network must be added to NPS as RADIUS clients.
To quickly gather all gateway APs' LAN IP addresses, navigate to Wireless > Monitor > Access points in Dashboard, ensure that the "LAN IP" column has been added to the table, and take note of all LAN IPs listed. APs with a LAN IP of "N/A" are repeaters, they do not need to be added as RADIUS clients:
Once a list of gateway APs' LAN IPs has been gathered, please refer to Microsoft's documentation for instructions on adding each AP as a client in NPS. Take note of the shared secret configured in NPS, this will be referenced in Dashboard.
Note: To save time, entire subnets can also be added to NPS as RADIUS clients, and any requests coming from that subnet will be processed by NPS. This is only recommended if all APs are on their own management VLAN and subnet, to reduce security risks.
In many cases each RADIUS authenticator must be added to the RADIUS authentication server such as Microsoft NPS or Cisco ISE. For VPN concentration and concentrated Layer 3 roaming SSIDs, just concentrators would need to be added to the RADIUS authentication server.
NPS must be configured to support PEAP-MSCHAPv2 as its authentication method.
This is accomplished in three steps, outlined below for NPS in Windows Server 2008:
The following image outlines an example of an NPS policy that supports user authentication with PEAP-MSCHAPv2:
For a seamless user experience, it may be ideal to deploy a PEAP wireless profile to domain computers so users can easily associate with the SSID. Though optional for user auth, this is strongly recommended for machine authentication.
The following instructions explain how to push a PEAP wireless profile to domain computers using a GPO, on a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2008:
Click Properties.
For Trusted Root Certification Authorities select the check box next to the appropriate Certificate Authorities and click OK.
Click OK to close out and click Apply on wireless policy page to save the settings.
Apply the GPO to the domain or OU containing the domain member computers (refer to Microsoft documentation for details).
Once a RADIUS server has been set up with the appropriate requirements to support authentication, the following instructions explain how to configure an SSID to support WPA2-Enterprise, and authenticate against the RADIUS server:
Aside from the RADIUS server requirements outlined above, all authenticating APs will need to be able to contact the IP address and port specified in Dashboard. Make sure that your APs all have network connectivity to the RADIUS server, and no firewalls are preventing access.
Dashboard offers a number of options to tag client traffic from a particular SSID with a specific VLAN tag. Most commonly, the SSID will be associated with a VLAN ID, so all client traffic from that SSID will be sent on that VLAN.
With RADIUS integration, a VLAN ID can be embedded within the RADIUS server's response. This allows for dynamic VLAN assignment based on the RADIUS server's configuration. Please refer to our documentation regarding Tagging Client VLANs with RADIUS Attributes for configuration specifics.
Dashboard has a built-in RADIUS test utility, to ensure that all access points (at least those broadcasting the SSID using RADIUS) can contact the RADIUS server:
Optionally, RADIUS accounting can be enabled on an SSID that's using WPA2-Enterprise with RADIUS authentication. When enabled, "start" and "stop" accounting messages are sent from the AP to the specified RADIUS accounting server.
The following instructions explain how to enable RADIUS accounting on an SSID:
At this point, "Start" and "Stop" accounting messages will be sent from the APs to the RADIUS server whenever a client successfully connects or disconnects from the SSID, respectively.
Cisco Meraki access points can be configured to provide enterprise WPA2 authentication for wireless networks using Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) as a RADIUS server. This article will cover instructions for basic integration with this platform. For more detailed information on how to configure Cisco ISE, please refer to the Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide.
Cisco Meraki access points can be configured to provide enterprise WPA2 authentication for wireless networks using Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) as a RADIUS server. This article will cover instructions for basic integration with this platform. For more detailed information on how to configure Cisco ISE, please refer to the Cisco Identity Services Engine User Guide.
After installation, Cisco ISE generates, by default, a self-signed local certificate and private key, and stores them on the server. This certificate will be used by default for WPA2-Enterprise. In a self-signed certificate, the hostname of Cisco ISE is used as the common name (CN) because it is required for HTTPS communication.
Note: Using a self-signed certificate is not recommended for RADIUS. In order to use the default self-signed cert, clients will need to be configured to not validate the RADIUS server's identity. Please refer to our RADIUS documentation for certificate options on the RADIUS server.
Cisco ISE supports policy sets, which allows grouping sets of authentication and authorization policies, as opposed to the basic authentication and authorization policy model, which is a flat list of authentication and authorization rules. Policy sets allow for logically defining an organization's IT business use cases into policy groups or services, such as VPN and 802.1X. This makes configuration, deployment, and troubleshooting much easier.

Every spring for the past few years, Jack has come for a visit. He stays quite a while—into early summer—but he is such a thoughtful guest that he never wears out his welcome. Conscientious about how much space he takes up, Jack neither intrudes nor dominates. Flashier friends might attract more attention, but Jack's modest qualities make him especially dear to me, and I always wish he would stay longer than he does.
This year, I was afraid Jack was not going to come back for his annual visit. I looked and waited, but no Jack. My heart felt a little heavy. Spring just wouldn't be the same without Jack. It had been such a hard winter. Was this the reason for Jack's absence?
But then, a couple of days ago, he arrived, and I was so happy to see him. Jack was a little late, but then so is everything else this spring after the long, cold winter.
I am also happy to report that Jack's offspring have come with him, and when they emerge, I will be sure to post pictures of them.
Jack and his kin have settled on the edge of our yard, which is lined with trees and dips into the forest. I feel very fortunate to have a patch of Jack-in-the-pulpets in my own backyard. I love the little pulpit flower, and when the flower passes, as all flowers do, its bright red fruit is interesting, too.
In a couple of weeks, we will be babysitting the granddogs for quite a few days. Jack and his brethren are in the large fenced-in area in the backyard where the dogs can safely roam. I think I will put a little barricade around Jack and his family so that he is not accidentally trampled by enthusiastic dogs.
After all, I want to be sure that Jack comes back not only next year but for many more years as well.

The Quincunx will be on the future 26 Door
Five is a circular number as it produces itself in its last digit when raised to its own power. The pentacle, like the circle symbolizes whole, the quincunx being the number of its center and the meeting point of heaven, earth, and the four cardinal points plus the center point.
Five is also representative of the Godhead - Central Creator of the four fours plus itself equalling five. Five is the marriage of the hieros gamos as combination of feminine and the masculine. Feminine being even, as 2, in frequency and masculine being odd as 3 in frequency = 5.
The number five symbolizes meditation; religion; versatility. It represents the five senses (taste, touch, smell, sight, hearing) everywhere except in the East. In the East there are six---the extra being Mind. We find meanings to five in the five petaled flower, five pointed leaves--especially the ROSE. The Rose has much symbolism, but also the lily, vine, all of which represent the microcosm.
The five pointed star depicts individuality and spiritual aspiration, and education when it points upward. The five pointed star pointing downward represents witchcraft.
The number five formed the first counting process from which all else came.

Classic titles like Little Red Riding Hood and Little Blue and Little Yelloware among the works in the North York Central Library's newest children's collection, but the anthology of thousands of meticulously gathered books is anything but ordinary.
Books written in special format such as Braille, sign language and Blissymbolics line the colourful shelves on the back wall of the six-story library's ground floor.
Coupled with specifically selected picture books, like Green by Laura Vaccaro Seeger, and works that portray people with disabilities, the more than 3,000 titles form the International Board on Books for Young People's (IBBY) Collection of Books for Young People with Disabilities.
The collection's move to North York signals the first time it has traveled outside of Norway. First established at the Norwegian Institute for Special Education at the University of Oslo, the ever-growing set was transferred to the Haug School and Resource Centre in Baerum, a suburb of Oslo, in 2002.
It was then that Heidi Cortner Boiesen took over as director. She curated the collection, adding about 50 new works every two years through a bi-annual submission process, for a decade. When she decided to retire, libraries from around the world applied to be the books' new home.
North York Central was Cortner Boiesen's library of choice.
"I knew this would be a good place for them," said Cortner Boiesen, who was in Toronto mid-November with Liz Page, the executive director of IBBY International out of Switzerland.
Cortner Boiesen and Page spoke about the collection during the Reading Challenges and Options for Young People with Disabilities workshop at the Toronto International Book Fair in early November, alongside Sharon Moynes, manager of readers', youth and children's services at the , and Leigh Turina, the lead librarian for the collection in Toronto.
Toronto is a great hub for the collection, said Moynes. Books are offered in more than 40 languages, perfect for a multicultural city, she said.
The city's location, a short trip from cities like Montreal, Ottawa and New York, also makes it easier for international researchers trying to get to more than one place during a single trip. The library has already played host to one international visitor, an Australian PhD student, since launching the collection in late February.
Frequent users include classes from special needs elementary and high schools and parents with children on the autism spectrum. The library also works with special needs classes in both Toronto school boards.
But Moynes said she hopes the collection garners even more attention going forward, and not just from researchers and children with special needs.
"Other children can learn from this collection, too. I see kids touching the Braille or practicing the sign language and then asking questions."
As they showed off the books in the collection at the library, former head librarian Cortner Boiesen and her successor, Turina, talked animatedly about the books, familiar enough with the content to tell the stories without the reading the pages.
Turina, who has worked at the library since 1987, has been dedicated to the collection since before its arrival by ship and truck from Norway last spring, Moynes said.
"She's the perfect person to take this on."

Data Protection with Concrete Walls and Uncrackable Encryption
Saturday 7 April 2018, by
Data is being acquired without much thought as to its security or end-use. Take for instance, the National Cadet Corps (NCC) collecting the names, mobile numbers and e-mail IDs of 1.3 million young boys and girls so that the PM can interact with them via the Narendra Modi App. ["For chat with PM Modi, NCC collects mobile, email IDs of 13 lakh cadets"; <http://indianexpress.> ; The Indian Express; March 23, 2018]
This will create a database which will enable the PM to interact with "all (NCC) cadets across the country". The obvious question is, will 1.3 million NCC cadets have the honour and privilege to interact with their PM, and would the PM, amidst his busy schedule, have the time to interact with more than a handful of cadets?
In the absence of laws concerning data security, and with all critical IT hardware and software being purchased from international vendors, the security of the NCC database is questionable, howsoever unquestionable be the intention of its creation. However, there will surely be some habitually suspicious persons who might wonder whether such a database could be used for political purposes.
The security of databases depends upon the understanding of what constitutes data and how it is acquired, compiled, secured, handled, used and transferred. It is no secret that the IT-knowledge of some persons of the higher age-groups is questionable. Proof of this is the statement of the Union Government's learned Attorney General, Shri K.K.Venugopal, assuring the Hon'ble Supreme Court that the Aadhaar database is safe because it is in a secure building within the Manesar complex surrounded by 13-feet high and five-feet thick concrete walls with armed guards. One cannot help admiring the restraint of the Hon'ble Supreme Court Bench in not laughing out loud. But such a mindset is a fact, and one shudders to think about the compromised privacy of 1.3 million youth who have joined the NCC.
But how could a compromised database be a risk? Let us recall Cambridge Analytica harvesting the data of 50 million Facebook users to prepare their psychological profiles. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to review the Facebook App, and apologised for a major breach of trust in not protecting data, even going so far as to say, "... if we can't protect your data, we don't deserve to serve you." ["Zuckerberg apologises for 'major breach of trust'", The Hindu, Bengaluru, March 23, 2018, page 1]
In connection with the security of the Aadhaar database, Ajay Bhushan Pandey, CEO of the UIDAI, assured the Hon'ble Supreme Court that "Aadhaar data has been secured by a 2048-bit encryption key that will take a supercomputer more than the age of universe, or over 13 billion years, to crack". ["Will Take Supercomputer 'Age Of Universe' To Hack Into Data: Aadhaar Boss"; https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/uidai-ceo-aadhaar-chief-will-take-supercomputer-age-of-universe-to-hack-into-data-1827384]
That is a surprising statement, especially as it comes from a custodian of what is arguably the world's largest public database. It is difficult to decide whether this contention originates from hubris or ignorance, or whether the UIDAI CEO reckons he can take the Hon'ble Supreme Court for a ride. Coming along with the Union Government's idea of data security behind concrete walls, as articulated by the learned AG, it will surely make India, the upcoming IT giant, an international laughing stock.
It is devoutly to be hoped that our PM will not be placed in the nationally embarrassing position of rueing the Narendra Modi App operated by the PMO, if the database of 1.3 million youth is clandestinely used for psychological profiling a la Cambridge Analytica, or otherwise misused. As our Pradhan Sevak, he cannot resile from serving the nation if the App in his name goes haywire or the thoughtlessly created NCC database is cracked open, notwithstanding the security of the PMO premises and the advice of persons like the UIDAI CEO.

Technical Notes
Historical Background
The need for the development of the Central Product Classification originated from initiatives in the early 1970s to harmonize international classifications. In the development of those initiatives, a standard classification of all products was perceived as a k ey element. The twenty-first session of the Conference of European Statisticians, in 1973, and meetings of members of both bodies with the secretariats of international organizations, there was general agreement on the need to improve harmonization among the various classifications prepared under the auspices of the United Nations and other international bodies, in economic and other fields.
With regards to the preconditions for creating a comprehensive classification of all goods and services, an important development too k place in the 1970s. The Customs Cooperation Council (CCC) undertoo k the revision of its nomenclature (CCCN) and its extension from a four-digit system to a six-digit system. As a result, a new nomenclature, called the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) was adopted in 1993 and entered into force on 1 January 1988 . The Statistical Office of the United Nations Secretariat participated in the development of HS, mainly in order to ensure that the disaggregations applied in HS were, to the extent possible, consistent with the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) of the United Nations and the industrial origin of the goods.
Based on the recommendations of an Expert Group convened by the United Nations Secretariat, the Statistical Commission at its nineteenth session, in 1976, approved a programme to harmonize the existing activity classifications of the United Nations, the European Communities and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and to simultaneously develop a system of different, but interrelated, classifications of economic activities and goods and services. Development of a new classification covering both goods and services – the Central Product Classification (CPC) – was intended to provide a basic tool in this programme. The proposed product classification was to use the detailed subheadings of HS as building bloc k s for the part dealing with transportable goods and to ta k e into account the basic categories of economic supply and use as specified in the System of National Accounts (SNA), such as intermediate consumption, final consumption, capital formation and imports and exports. The Statistical Commission endorsed the programme and supported its continuation at subsequent sessions, with the provision that existing systems maintain their essential character.
During the period 1977 – 1987, the Statistical Office of the United Nations Secretariat and the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat) convened six meetings of the Joint Wor king Group on World Level Classifications for the purpose of developing an Integrated System of Classifications of Activities and Products (SINAP) to serve as an interim classification. It was intended that categories of SINAP be used as building bloc ks for the second revision of the International Standard Industrial Classification of All Economic Activities (ISIC), the General Industrial Classification of Economic Activities within the European Communities (NACE), and for related classifications for goods and services. The joint Wor king Group also contributed proposals on the relationship between SITC and CPC.
During the period 1983 – 1988, the Statistical Office of the United Nations Secretariat organized a series of related expert group meetings dealing with economic classifications. Countries from different parts of the world and at various stages of development were represented at the meetings, as were regional commissions and international organizations. The main tas k of the meetings was to review the drafts of ISIC Rev. 3 and CPC prepared by the Statistical Office.
The first complete draft of the CPC was reviewed by the Statistical Commission at the twenty-fourth session, in 1987. On the Commission's recommendation, wor k on CPC continued in conjunction with international organizations, in particular Eurostat and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The development of services classifications and related explanatory notes for service products was the main item on the agenda at the early meetings of the Voorburg Group on Service Statistics. In 1987 and 1988 the Joint Wor k ing Group on World level Classifications and a United Nations expert group meeting reviewed subsequent drafts of the CPC. The Expert Group on Harmonization of Economic Classifications recommended that the abbreviation CPC for Central Product Classification be included in the title, regardless of language, to facilitate international recognition when referring to the classification.
The Statistical Commission at its twenty-fifth session, in 1989, considered the final draft and approved its publication as a provisional document. The Commission recommended that member States start testing the Provisional CPC in order to gain experience in obtaining internationally comparable data on goods and services.
The Provisional CPC was published by the United Nations in 1991. The experience of national and international users provided a sound basis for its subsequent revision. Account was also ta k en of the experience gained in the development of the European Union's Classification of Products by Activity (CPA).
The Provisional CPC was revised, updated and finalized and presented for adoption to the United Nations Statistics Division as Central Product Classification (CPC) Version 1.0. The CPC Version 1.0 was published in 1998 in response to the need to update and revise parts of the provisional version. Particular attention was paid to the services part of the classification to ensure that the structure of CPC adequately reflects new technologies, and growth in the services sector of the economy. In addition, the goods part of the Provisional CPC and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC Rev. 3) were brought up to date with the 1996 edition of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS).
The Statistical Commission at its thirtieth session recommended that the Expert Group on international Economic and Social Classifications should be the central coordinating body for implementing the proposed wor k program on statistical classifications, and that its tas k s should include classification revisions, practical proposals to bring about convergence of existing international and multinational classifications and review of the underlying principles. The Expert Group, at its meeting in November 1999, approved the establishment of a Technical Subgroup to the Expert Group. This technical Subgroup was as k ed to ta k e action to update CPC Version 1.0.
The 2002 update to Version 1.0
The Technical Subgroup was set up to carry out technical, analytical and exploratory tas k s in the further development of CPC resulting in the development of the new classification, CPC Version 1.1. The wor k on developing CPC Version 1.1 consisted of the following stages., leading to its approval by the Statistical Commission, at its thirty-third session. The members of the Technical Subgroup discussed the shortcomings of CPC Version 1.0 based on feedbac k from users of the classification, then considered and finalized the draft of CPC Version 1.1. This draft was then widely circulated to a number of national statistical offices and regional and international agencies for comment. Recommendations for change were ta k en into consideration before the classification was completed and submitted to the Statistical Commission at its thirty-third session, in 2002.
The members of the Technical Sub-group made significant contributions to the update and further development of CPC Version 1.1, with Statistics Canada playing the k ey coordinating role in the process. Without the valuable voluntary contributions of the statistical agencies of Australia, Austria, Canada, France, the United States of America, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat), as well as statistical offices of a number of other countries, it would not have been possible to complete CPC Version 1.1. 2000
The focus in this round of revisions for 2002 was to ma k e all the necessary changes and updates to CPC Version 1.0 since its inception and official use in 1998. These included the recommended changes in selected parts of the classification relating to services, including updates.
Recognizing the need to develop a national product classification to be related to relevant international classification, the National Statistical Coordination Board ( NSCB ) developed the Philippine Central Product Classification (PCPC) using the UN –CPC Version 1.1 as the reference.
Brief Description
The PCPC was patterned after the UN classification, with some modifications to suit national situation and requirements. The purpose of PCPC is to serve as an instrument for assembling and tabulating all k inds of statistics that needed product detail. Such statistics cover production, intermediate and final consumption, capital formation and foreign trade and may refer to commodity flows, stoc k s or balances and may be compiled in the context of input-output tables, balance-of-payments and other analytical presentations.
Each item of the PCPC consists of goods or services that are predominantly produced in one class of PSIC. This predominant PSIC class is shown in the column next to each UN-CPC subclass. By using this k ind of correlation table in the reverse way, i.e., from PSIC to PCPC, one can usually find which products are the characteristic output of a certain industry.
Coding System of the PCPC
The coding system of PCPC is hierarchical and purely decimal. The classification consists of sections (first digit), divisions (first and second digits), groups (first three digits), classes (first four digits), subclasses (first five digits) and items (identified by all six digits, ta k en together). The codes for the sections range from 0 to 9 and each section was divided into nine divisions.
Principles Used in Constructing PCPC
The expression "physical properties and intrinsic nature" means criteria that are proper to the goods themselves, e.g., the raw materials of which they are made, their stage of production, the way in which they are produced, the purpose or user category for which they are intended, the prices at which they are sold, whether or not they can be stored, etc. Sometimes, an industry produces goods of a totally different nature, for example meat and hides, which are both produced by slaughterhouses. These products are not put together in one category nor in the same section of the PCPC. Unprocessed hides are considered raw animal materials and are classified in section 0 (Agriculture, forestry and fishery products), whereas meat is classified in section 2 among food products.
Similar problems concerning industrial origin arise when industries produce both goods and services. Examples of such services are repair, maintenance and manufacturing on a fee or contract basis. Although the industrial origin of these services is often the same as the origin of the goods themselves, it should be clear that the nature of the services involved may be mar k edly different from that of the goods, so that the goods and services should be classified under different parts of the PCPC. These services are therefore given a separate division, specifically divisions 86 and 87, in the classification.
The PSIC itself provides a framewor k for structuring production activities according to industries, and in doing so, it uses the industrial origin of products as one criterion among others for classifying activities. Accordingly, there is no one-to-one correspondence between PCPC and PSIC. Such a relationship would lin k the products directly to their producers. However, it would lead to inadequate description of PCPC categories, especially at the higher levels, and to unrealistic aggregates. It would also ma k e harmonization with the PSCC more difficult than necessary. As mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, the PCPC is meant to be used not only for production statistics but also for other k inds of statistics. For these reasons it was decided to give priority to the nature of the products rather than to their industrial origin.
Although not the sole criterion used, the industrial origin of goods and services was, nevertheless, considered to be important in developing the PCPC. As in the UN classification, its importance was recognized by attempting to group into one subclass only those products that are produced by a single industry. However, since all PCPC categories in the goods area are aggregates of HS subheadings, and since the criterion of origin was not always ta k en into account in the HS, the industrial origin principle could only be applied in so far as the HS allowed it.
With a view to accommodating users of PCPC who want to identify a direct relationship between PCPC and PSIC, each PCPC item is accompanied in this publication by a reference to the PSIC industry in which most of the goods or services in question are generally produced. By rearranging the PCPC according to this PSIC reference one finds the main goods or services that are the output of a certain industry. It should be realized, however, that this PSIC code refers to the principal producing industry of the PCPC category.
Goods and Services in PCPC
Several criteria are used in differentiating goods from services: e.g., tangible versus intangible, storable versus non-storable or transportable versus non-transportable. Most of these criteria hold in the majority of cases, but there are always exceptions or borderline cases which cannot be simply resolved. Based on the variety of criteria used and the diverse experience around the world, it appears that no single criterion provides a valid, practical and unambiguous basis for distinguishing between goods and services in all cases. Examples of borderline situations are photographs, computer tapes and meals or drin k s in restaurants. In these cases as well as others, a bundle, i.e., a combination or mixture of products, is sold and more often than not this bundle consists of a tangible and an intangible component. In the case of meals or drin k s consumed in a restaurant, for example, the tangible component would be the foods and beverages consumed. The intangible component would be the coo k ing and serving services, the seating and the locality of the restaurant. The purchaser of such a mixed product usually does not give much thought to whether a good or a service is purchased. The customer in a boo k shop wants to buy a good and is probably not aware of the services provided by the author, the publisher, and the retail salesman. On the other hand, the person who has a pair of shoes resoled probably regards the transaction as a purchase of a service and does not thin k of the pieces of leather that are involved. In the case of a restaurant meal the situation is more ambiguous and varied with respect to the goods portion of the transaction compared to the service portion.
The precise distinction between goods and services is interesting from a theoretical point of view and may be relevant for the compilation and analysis of certain economic statistics. However, there is no need to embody such a distinction into a classification such as the PCPC, which is intended to be for general purpose and to cover both goods and services. If an object does not fit into a category for goods, it must automatically fit into another category of the PCPC, because everything that can be the object of a transaction is covered by the PCPC.

Israel Shells UN Headquarters In Gaza
IBRAHIM BARZAK and AMY TEIBEL | January 15, 2009 10:32 AM EST |
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Israel shelled the United Nations headquarters in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, engulfing the compound and a warehouse in fire and destroying thousands of pounds of food and humanitarian supplies intended for Palestinian refugees.
U.N. workers and Palestinian firefighters, some wearing bulletproof jackets, struggled to douse the flames and pull bags of food aid from the debris after the Israeli attack, which was another blow to efforts to ease the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. Dense smoke billowed from the compound.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who is in the region to end the devastating offensive against Gaza's Hamas rulers, demanded a "full explanation" and said the Israeli defense minister told him there had been a "grave mistake."
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said the military fired artillery shells at the U.N. compound after Hamas militants opened fire from the location. Three people were wounded.

Dark matter, neutrino masses and LFV processes in the scotogenic model
Carlos E. Yaguna, Max-Planck-Institute für Kernphysik (MPIK), Heidelberg
Germán A. Gomez Vargas, PUC-Chile and INFN Tor Vergata
We study the impact that future lepton flavor violating experiments will have on the viable parameter space of the scotogenic model. Within this model, the dark matter particle is assumed to be the lightest singlet fermion and two cases are considered depending on how its relic density is obtained: via self-annihilations or via coannihilations with the scalars. For each case, a scan over the parameter space of the model is used to obtain a large sample of viable points, which we subsequently analyze. We find that future lepton flavor violating experiments, in particular those searching for μ→3e and μ-e conversion in nuclei, will probe the parameter space of the scotogenic model in a significant way. They may exclude a large fraction of the models where the dark matter density is determined by coannihilations, and could rule out all the models where it is determined by annihilations.
