Facebook breach updates. More skepticism on Chinese supply chain attack. Pipeline explosion not an attack. EU cyber sanctions.
By The CyberWire Staff
Late Friday Facebook released more information on the cyberattack that led it to log some ninety-million users out at the end of September. In brief, it seems that fewer users were affected than feared, but that the information exposed was more sensitive than hoped. Roughly thirty-million people were affected. One-million lost nothing. Fifteen-million lost name and contact details. Fourteen-million lost name, contact information, and other data they had in their profiles (username, gender, locale or language, relationship status, religion, hometown, date-of-birth, education, work, search history, etc.). Facebook's Help Center can tell users if they were among those affected.
Bloomberg's story of Chinese attacks on the IT supply chain remains controversial, but at this point reactions are trending toward skepticism. Bloomberg has been standing by its story, but one of those they interviewed in their follow-up piece, Sepio's Yossi Appleboum, told ServetheHome that he's disappointed his words were used to reinforce Bloomberg's claims that Supermicro was compromised: "I think they are innocent." He says instead it's a general problem and not even necessarily even a manufacturing one—attacks can occur anywhere in the supply chain.
The September 13th lethal explosion involving the Columbia Gas Low-pressure Natural Gas Distribution System in Massachusetts was greeted with speculation that the tragedy was caused by a cyberattack. But a preliminary report by the US National Transportation Safety Board concludes that it was indeed an accident.
Estonia joined the Netherlands' and UK's push to clarify EU sanctions for cyberattacks. Italy pushed back, preferring to relax tensions.

FM´s Latest Crypto Stance Brings Positive Wave in Indian Crypto Community
Navanwita Bora Sachdev Posted On March 10, 2021
Some positive vibes came across from India's Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman´s response regarding the cryptocurrency space.
Sitharaman stated in an interview with CNBC TV18 on Saturday that the government will take a ´calibrated´ approach to crypto trading in the country. The statement has infused the crypto community of India with hope for the future.

India´s popular trading platform BitBns CEO, Gaurav Dahake, told The Tech Panda that the government´s latest stance regarding crypto is bringing in an optimistic wave, paving the way for dialogue.
With the recent global developments, the Indian government is of the opinion that a unilateral view of restricting it is not going to help, considering India is at the forefront of the fintech ecosystem
"There have been positive developments around crypto. The ministry officials are taking a judicious approach to create an inclusive regulatory framework. With the recent global developments, the Indian government is of the opinion that a unilateral view of restricting it is not going to help, considering India is at the forefront of the fintech ecosystem. The industry is optimistic with the stance taken and would love to initiate dialogue with the government to resolve any issues."
Sumit Gupta, Founder of CoinDCX, told The Tech Panda that the FM´s statement has made the industry more optimistic.
Mrs. Sitaraman's statement is the sign of the government's resolve to digitize India and making us Atmanirbhar
"Mrs. Sitaraman's statement is the sign of the government's resolve to digitize India and making us Atmanirbhar. We are a homegrown entity, our products are made in India, catering to the appetite of the Indian masses. We care for them and the law of the land. Hence, we diligently follow KYC norms and adhere to regulatory practices. We have always reiterated the need for regulation, taxation, and transparency for our sector. As an Indian fintech firm, we are also building global-level products. We believe crypto as an asset has huge potential and if properly administered can help India earn sizeable revenue," he said.
"The FM's stance on 'considering a calibrated approach' is an encouraging sign. We are a 100 plus staff company with some of the best talents emerging out of some of the premier institutes of India like IIT. We have the bandwidth, the data, and resources to provide any assistance to the FM's endeavor in this sector," he offered.
The Finance Minister also said that ´negotiations and discussions´ are in place with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on how to regulate cryptocurrency in India.
"Obviously, the RBI will take a call on what kind of official currency, cryptocurrency will have to be planned and how it has to be regulated," she said during the interview.

Abd ar-Rahman I (731-788) of Abd al-Rahman was de stichter van de Omajjaden van Andalusië en het emiraat Córdoba. Hij werd geboren in de buurt van Damascus en was de zoon van Moe'awiyah ibn Hisham en een christelijke Berber-concubine. Hij was een kleinzoon van de Omajjadenkalief Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik.

Vlucht
Toen de heersende Omajjadendynastie die regeerde over het Arabische rijk in 750 werd omvergeworpen door een volksopstand, de Abbasidische Revolutie, en het kalifaat van de Abbasiden werd gesticht, was Abd ar-Rahman ongeveer twintig. Met een aantal familieleden ontvluchtte hij Damascus, het centrum van de Omajjadische macht. Ze vluchtten in de richting van de Eufraat. De Abbasiden hadden echter ruiters uitgestuurd om hen te doden waardoor hun tocht gevaarlijk was. Op een gegeven moment was het gezelschap ondergedoken in een klein dorp en werd het bedreigd door Abbasidische agenten. Abd ar-Rahman moest zijn jonge zoon en zijn zusters achterlaten en kon samen met zijn broer Yahiya en een vrijgelaten Griekse slaaf op het nippertje ontsnappen. Na een tijd werden ze opnieuw door Abbasidische ruiters ingehaald. Het trio sprong in de Eufraat en ze probeerden de overkant te bereiken. Abd ar-Rahman werd gescheiden van zijn broer, die terugzwom in de richting van de ruiters, waarschijnlijk uit angst om te verdrinken. Abd ar-Rahman smeekte hem mee te zwemmen, maar het was vergeefs. Aan de oever werd zijn broer vermoord en onthoofd.

Via Palestina en Sinaï bereikten Abd ar-Rahman en de vrijgelatene Egypte. Ook hier was de situatie levensgevaarlijk. Ze leefden hier ondergedoken bij een Berberstam. In 755 bereikten ze het huidige Marokko. De volgende stap was de overtocht naar het Iberisch Schiereiland. Abd ar-Rahman kon niet inschatten hoe de bevolking hem daar zou ontvangen. Daarom ging de vrijgelatene hem voor met de bekendmaking dat Abd ar-Rahman zichzelf als rechtmatige erfgenaam van het Omajjadenland naar voren schoof. Al-Andalus was veroverd tijdens het bewind van zijn grootvader en Abd ar-Rahman hoopte beroep te kunnen doen op de loyaliteit van de bevolking tegenover de Omajjaden.

Al-Andalus, een verscheurde provincie
Op het moment dat Abd ar-Rahman zijn oversteek wilde maken, had de wali van al-Andalus Yusuf al-Fihri de chaos op het Iberisch Schiereiland gestabiliseerd. De spanningen tussen Berbers en Arabieren vonden hun oorsprong reeds in de eerste jaren van de islamitische veroveringen in het Iberisch Schiereiland. Toen werden tijdens meerdere kolonisatieacties burgers en militaire troepen uit de islamitische landen naar Spanje gehaald, waar ze, meestal in stamverband gegroepeerd, de landerijen van de naar het noorden gevluchte christenen kregen toegewezen. Maar al bij de verdeling van het land kwam het tot spanningen, omdat de Arabieren (overwegend Jemenieten) in het vruchtbare en veilige zuiden werden ondergebracht en de armere Berbers daarentegen in Midden-Spanje en langs de grens met het noorden. Ook op het overige politieke vlak was de situatie aanvankelijk zeer instabiel: in de 30 jaar tussen 716 en 747 regeerden in totaal 19 stadhouders in Córdoba.

Tijdens het bestuur van stadhouder Yusuf al-Fihri (747-756), die in de belangrijkste steden van het land leden van zijn familie als machthebber wist te installeren, stabiliseerden de verhoudingen zich in al-Andalus. Yusuf breidde de steden uit, vergrootte het wegennet, bezocht de provincies van het land en hield stand in de grensoorlog met het christelijke noorden. Hij had van het begin af aan naar zelfstandigheid gestreefd en maakte handig gebruik van het machtsvacuüm dat door de uitroeiing van de Omajjadendynastie in 750 was ontstaan, om feitelijk onafhankelijk te worden. De strijd om het kalifaat in het oosten van het islamitische rijk bereikte echter ook Spanje. De ontevreden Zuid-Arabieren, tegenstanders van Yusufs regering, riepen de Omajjadische prins Abd ar-Rahman I ibn Muawiya op om de macht in Spanje over te nemen.

Abd ar-Rahman werd begroet door de plaatselijke stamhoofden bij de landing in al-Andalus in september 755. Tijdens zijn korte verblijf in Málaga was hij in staat om snel steun te vergaren. Massa's mensen kwamen naar Málaga om respect te betuigen aan de prins die ze dood gewaand hadden.

Emiraat van Córdoba
In mei 756 versloeg Abd ar-Rahman Yusuf voor de muren van Córdoba en nam vervolgens de hoofdstad in, die hij zo voor plunderingen behoedde. Dit optreden was voor andere steden reden om zich aan zijn gezag te onderwerpen, waarna Abd ar-Rahman zich uitriep tot emir van Al-Andalus - emir, geen kalief, omdat dat te veel onrust zou veroorzaken. Zijn nageslacht daarentegen zou wel de titel van kalief opeisen.

De Arabieren en de Berbers bevochten elkaar om verschillende machtskwesties; sommige leden van de familie van Abd ar-Rahman I probeerden hem de macht te ontnemen. De emir was hen telkens één stap voor en wist steeds de opstanden te onderdrukken. Zijn binnenlandse politiek werd gekenmerkt door een streven naar overleg en samenwerking met zijn tegenstanders, zodat hij als de grote architect van het islamitische Spanje kan worden beschouwd. Ook als veldheer was hij succesvol, hij zette een staand leger van 40.000 man op, dat grotendeels uit buitenlandse huurlingen bestond, en begon met de opbouw van een oorlogsvloot. Hij legde rond veel steden versterkingswerken aan en controleerde het land door het te verdelen in militaire provincies.

Economie
Abd ar-Rahman I onderhield nauwe banden, zowel economisch als cultureel, met zijn land van herkomst en stelde op het gebied van handel en cultuur de nauwe contacten met zijn oude vaderland veilig. Ook bevorderde hij de ontwikkeling van de landbouw met behulp van extra landmetingen en efficiënte irrigatiewerken. De hoge technische standaard en zin voor innovatie zorgde voor een stijgende welvaart onder de boeren. Vanuit de Oriënt werden rietsuiker, katoen, rijst en verschillende soorten fruit, groente en specerijen geïntroduceerd, en overal in het land bouwde men graanpakhuizen voor tijden van nood. De voornaamste industrietakken in al-Andalus waren textielnijverheid in de taifa Murcia, ververijen en leerlooierijen in de taifa Córdoba, wapensmeedkunst in de taifa Toledo, en de taifa Almería werd een centrum voor aardewerkproductie.

De oriëntaalse invloed drong meer en meer door in dagelijkse leven van de mensen. Het leven in de stad organiseerde zich rond de moskee, die in het centrum stond, met in de buurt daarvan een markt of bazaar. De huizen in de woonwijken werden volgens oosters principe gebouwd: de voorzijde had geen ramen en de kamers lagen rond een patio of binnenplaats met fontein.

Er ontstond een nieuwe dreiging voor Abd ar-Rahman I toen de stadhouder van de taifa Zaragoza Karel de Grote aanzette tot een aanval. In 778 veroverde de Frankische koning Pamplona en Zaragoza. De emir kon de meeste Frankische veroveringen terugwinnen tot de Franken in 786 Spanje opnieuw binnenvielen en het graafschap Barcelona als Spaanse mark van het Frankische Rijk stichtten.

Architectuur
Toen Abd ar-Rahman I zich in 756 tot emir uitriep, maakte hij Córdoba tot hoofdstad van zijn rijk. Córdoba werd onderworpen aan allerlei stedenbouwkundige vernieuwingen die de status van de stad moesten onderstrepen. Romeinse gebouwen werden verbouwd en kregen een oriëntaals karakter. Abd ar-Rahman gaf echter vooral ook opdracht tot de bouw van een nieuwe hoofdmoskee. Daarvoor werd de christelijke San Vicente-kerk onteigend, waarvan de fundamenten bij opgravingen binnen in de moskee in de jaren dertig van de 20e eeuw konden worden blootgelegd. De ligging van de moskee werd bepaald door de al bestaande verkeersverbindingen - de Guadalquivir en de Romeinse brug - en in de directe buurt stond een Westgotisch paleis dat Abd ar-Rahman I als persoonlijke residentie in gebruik nam.

De bouw van het oorspronkelijke gedeelte van de Mezquita nam slechts één jaar in beslag, 785-786. Niet alleen zette de emir spoed achter de bouw, ook werden veel materialen gerecupereerd uit Romeinse en Westgotische gebouwen. De zuilen en kapitelen van het oudste gedeelte zijn van marmer en zijn nagenoeg allemaal verschillend. Ook hadden de zuilen een verschillende lengte waardoor sommige dieper in de grond geplaatst moesten worden. Toch vormt de Mezquita een samenhangend geheel met een uitgepuurde stijl.

At the Engine Interfaces, Lumiera's Backend and Session get connected and work together to produce rendered output. This design proposal intends to give an overview of the connection points and facilities involved, to define some terms and concepts and to provide a foundation for discussion and working out the APIs in detail.
abstraction of an processing unit, supports planning by the dispatcher, allows to pull data, thereby driving the actual calculation.
The render process brackets an ongoing calculation as a whole. It is not to be confused with a operating system process or thread; rather it is a point of reference for the relevant entities in the Stage and Steam-Layer in need to connect to such a "rendering", and it holds the specific definitions for this calculation series. A render process corresponds to a single data stream to be rendered. Thus, when the play controller of some timeline in the model is in playing or paused state, typically multiple corresponding render processes exist.
the process can be paused/started and stopped (aborted, halted).
A process is linked to a single stream data format (a → stream implementation type).
It is configured with frame quantisation and timings, and a model port identifier and channel selector.
a definition to translate global model time units in real clock time, including alignment to an external time grid.
a point in the (high level) model where output can be produced.
This might be a global pipe in one of the model's timelines, or it might be a probe point.
While certainly the port and channel definition is fixed, unfortunately the quantisation and the timings are'nt. The timings may be changed in the middle of an ongoing render process, due to changed playback speed, shuffling or requirements forwarded from chase-and-lock synchronisation to an external source. We still need to discuss if Lumiera is going to support variable framerates (several media professionals I've talked to were rather positive we need to support that — personally I'm still in doubt we do). Variable framerates force us to determine the frame numbers by an integration over time from a start position up to the time position in question. The relevant data to be integrated is located in the session / high-level model; probably we'll then create an excerpt of this data, but still the less quantisation will be a function of time. Anyway, it is the render processes job to translate all kinds of parameter changes into relevant internal API calls to reconfigure the calculation process to fit.
The low level model is a network of interconnected render nodes. It is created by the build process to embody any configuration, setup and further parametrisation derived from the high-level description within the session. But the data structure of this node network is opaque and considered an implementation detail. It is not intended to be inspected and processed by outward entities (contrast this to the high-level model within the session, which provides an extensive discovery API and can be manipulated by model mutating commands). We just provide a set of query and information retrieval functions to suit the needs of the calculation process. The engine model is not persisted.
the engine model is partitioned by a segmentation of the time axis. Individual segments can be hot-swapped.
each exit node provides a stream type definition plus quantisation and alignment constraints.
In this context, a node is a conceptual entity: it is an elementary unit of processing. It might indeed be a single invocation of a processor (plugin or similar processing function), or it might be a chain of nodes, a complete subtree, it might represent a data source (file, external input or peer in case of distributed rendering), or it might stand for a pipeline implemented in hardware. The actual decision about these possibilities happened during the build process and can be configured by rules. Information about these decisions is retained only insofar it is required for the processing, most of the detailed type information is discarded after the wiring and configuration step. As mentioned above, each node serves two distinct purposes, namely to assist with the planning and dispatching, and to pull data by performing the calculations.
Nodes can be considered stateless — pulling a node has no effect outside the invocation context. While a node might actually be configured to drive a whole chain or subtree and propagate the pull request within this tree or chain internally, the node never propagates a pull request beyond its realm. The pull() call expects to be provided with all prerequisite data, intermediary and output buffers.
Currently we're focussing on how to implement this concept, not on evaluating alternatives. Especially the idea of scheduling individual frame jobs is a core concept of Lumiera. This RfC tries to bridge from the session model to an engine based on these concepts. It's the attempt to link two concepts already defined and decided on….

Q: Linux console is unusable when LDAP server is down When our OpenLDAP server lost power the CentOS machines' console became nearly unusable.
We were trying to login with a local account, but each command would take minutes to return. Even simple commands like ls were just sitting there.
This does not seem to be a problem with the same configuration under Ubuntu. It takes a while for the initial login to succeed for the local account, but once you are in everything works.
I am looking for a way to mitigate the problem, and came up with a couple ideas:

*

*Set a timeout value (if one exists) for the ldap-pam module

*Run a local ldap db and authenticate with that (it would be a slave of the main one)

*Create a cron job to enable/disable if we loose connectivity to the ldap server

Are there any better solutions to managing some sort of redundancy/failover with LDAP?

A: I know you have an accepted answer from David, but I'd like to propose a different approach here and share some of my experiences.
I've found the problem with using bind_policy soft is that if you don't get a response from the server right away, say for example it is busy or you have high network load, you'll get an LDAP failure immediately. For nss_ldap this means that your nss lookup will fail and whatever process was trying to use it will simply report it couldn't find the user or group it was looking up and fail. This can be a problem during normal operations when you your LDAP server is up, which IMO is worse than problems when your server is down.
I've found a more acceptable solution by using the following settings:
bind_policy hard
nss_reconnect_tries 3
nss_reconnect_sleeptime 1
nss_reconnect_maxsleeptime 8
nss_reconnect_maxconntries 2

This way you'll still have a hard connect policy, but the nss_reconnect_* settings will drastically reduce the amount of time your LDAP client will spend trying to get an LDAP result. It also means that during normal usage, if it fails to get an LDAP result on the first try, it will try again and usually get it the second time around. This means fewer failures during normal use.
As far as running a local LDAP server on each workstation, I don't recommend that. What I can point you to instead is nsscache. It was written by some engineers at Google and it solves this problem by creating a local cache of the LDAP database and incrementally updating it through a cron job. You then set up your nsswitch source to use their library instead of nss_ldap and all lookups are local. This has the advantage of greatly reducing the load on your LDAP server, and making all the lookups available if the connection to the server is down. It doesn't have the greatest documentation right now, and isn't in widespread use, but it does work well an the mailing lists are quite responsive.

A: We've had this problem and our solution was to tell LDAP not to be the source for the groups required for the servers to run. This is done by putting the following at the end of our ldap.conf
# We need to ensure that various things can work without LDAP being available
# for example: booting, ssh in as root, apache ...
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers avahi,avahi-autoipd,backup,bin,daemon,dhcp,dhcpd,games,gdm,gnats,haldaemon,hplip,irc,klog,libuuid,list,lp,mail,man,messagebus,munin,mysql,nbd,news,ntp,nut,polkituser,proxy,pulse,root,sshd,statd,sync,sys,syslog,uucp,www-data

From the nss_ldap man page
nss_initgroups_ignoreusers <user1,user2,...,userN>
          This option directs the nss_ldap implementation of initgroups(3)
          to return NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND if called with a listed  users  as
          its argument.

So basically LDAP pretends it doesn't know those users without even contacting the master server, so the NSS falls back on the local users and the system works fine.
We've also set up LDAP replicas on a number of servers for a belt and braces approach.

A: You have several choices.
We use replication to have several LDAP servers on the network, hidden behind a load balancer, so if one goes down, we still have one available. We use keepalived for our load balancing. You can also use keepalived in a failover setup, where you have a hot backup slave.
Secondly, you can have a local LDAP server on each workstation, but this will result in a high maintenance headache, as you need to administer all of these and monitor them to make sure they are keeping up with replication. You don't want them to fall out of sync.
When you have a slave server, make sure you set your updateref option so that any attempted updates are sent to the master server.
There are several settings in /etc/ldap.conf you can use to make the situation better. The most important one is:
bind_policy soft

The default is "hard", which will keep retrying to contact the server with a wait in between. If you set it to soft, it will return immediately. You can also use the timeout options to reduce the amount of time it waits.
# Search timelimit
timelimit 30

# Bind/connect timelimit
bind_timelimit 30

DPP: We are not using legacy directions against the security forces capriciously
Barra McGrory , director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland, speaks to the News Letter from his office in Belfast.' Pic Colm Lenaghan/Pacemaker
Ben Lowry
In part two of an interview (link to other parts beneath article), the Director of Public Prosecutions BARRA McGRORY talks to Ben Lowry about controversial 35.5 legacy directions, which are focused on security force doings. He also denies that the Stakeknife probe is primarily aimed at the security forces, and says the murderers have most to fear:
The News Letter recently scrutinised legacy orders in which prosecutors have required the PSNI to examine past allegations against police and Army.
Screengrab from BBC Panorama about the agent Stakeknife, said to be Freddie Scappaticci, something he denies
These so-called Section 35.5 directions are taking a heavy toll on police resources, and fuel unionist fears of an imbalance into how the past is being investigated.
Our scrutiny of Section 35.5 (see link to our January report at the bottom of this article) followed Public Prosection Service figures that only six of their 18 Section 35.5 orders focus on the state, and this was treated in some reports as if it disproved bias.
We, however, thought the nine directions that are not legacy cases should be excluded, because they are irrelevant to the matter of balance with regard to the past.
That leaves nine legacy directions, three of them on 'Stakeknife'. Mr McGrory's early comments on that probe suggested that those three are also focused on alleged state wrongdoing (see below). If so, all legacy 35.5s are about state.
John Ware, the BBC Panorama reporter, whose programmes on the Military Reaction Force on the Omagh bomb both led to action from prosecutors including, in the former case, a so-called Section 35.5 direction
Given that 10% of Troubles killings were by the state (mostly legitimate, defenders of the security forces believe), this is a massive imbalance.
Mr McGrory says the reason for citing the 18 cases was to show it is a power "we use routinely when necessary and it's not always in legacy cases".
He cites a sex abuse case which had to be withdrawn after a change in evidence "in circumstances which caused us great anguish" and required investigation.
Mr McGrory adds: "It's not that we're using Section 35.5 capriciously in legacy cases, it is a tool the prosecutor has when something arises."
He says: "Thousands of incidents will have happened during the Troubles which were obviously crimes against humanity, crimes against individuals, and the director doesn't initiate investigations because the director is entitled to assume that the civil police force, whose statutory responsibility it is to initiate those investigations, has done so.
"But in situations where material is in front of the director which would suggest that a crime has been committed which isn't being investigated, he can ask the police officer to do so."
Two broad groups of legacy case have given rise to exercise of the power, he says.
NI Assembly to reject Boris Johnson's Brexit legislation - Spads salaries reduced to £85,000
"One is the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) sending cases to the Court of Appeal and serious concerns being raised by the appeal court with us concerning the conduct of those investigations and prosecutions. So, that's an example of the prosecutor's office being confronted with material."
That covers Stakeknife and Stalker-Samson cases.
"The other group of Section 35 requests – and I accept that they are virtually all directed towards potential state misconduct by their nature – concerns killings by soldiers."
Most cases came to prosecutors from the Attorney General John Larkin following requests for inquests, Mr McGrory says.
The refocus on such shootings came after criticism of the Historical Enquiry Teams (HET) approach to them by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, "which resulted in [the then chief constable] Matt Baggott abolishing HET and eventually setting up the legacy unit".
It put attention on "a significant number of killings by soldiers between 1969 and 1973" which were never investigated by the RUC.
A further Section 35.5 order resulted from a 2013 BBC Panorama ('Britain's Secret Terror Force') that claimed Military Reaction Force members operated illegally.
"It's not that we went looking for that case, it was brought to our attention by the national broadcaster and we couldn't ignore the information in the programme."
So if the BBC had examined one of the many unsolved IRA civilian massacres, that could have led to a 35.5 order?
"Of course. Take for example Omagh. There were several documentaries on the Omagh atrocity and there was a civil case then we, along with the police re-examined the evidence on Omagh and I spent a great deal of time looking at that case and decided to prosecute Seamus Daly, arising from a refocused examination of the material with the police, which would have been influenced by the television programme."
Asked if he has power to use Section 35.5 to order police to investigate as he chooses, A or B, or X or Y, Mr McGrory says: "No."
He adds: "I very much appreciate why there might be a perception that there is some targeting of the state as a consequence of these investigations but I think there needs to be a responsibility on those who report on these matters to put them in context."
He says that in other (non 35.5) cases prosecutors have, for example, sought return of Boston tapes material "and again they are across the board, one loyalist and I think two republican".
• The murderers have most to fear from Stakeknife probe
When talking about investigation surrounding the informer 'Stakeknife' (the Belfast man Freddie Scappaticci denies that he is Stakeknife), led by detective Jon Boutcher, Mr McGrory has referred to an "appalling vista" of a parallel process in the security forces that meant murders were not properly investigated.
That gives an impression that his focus is on state forces who tried to penetrate the IRA, not the IRA murderers.
"No," the DPP says. "My focus on Stakeknife is the possibility that many victims did not get justice, that those who may have been guilty of carrying out murders were permitted to escape responsibility for their actions ... so it is those who carried out the murders who have most to fear from the Stakeknife investigation.
"There is evidence which would suggest that there may have been a situation where high-level state informants were being protected and as a result of that the investigations into those murders were compromised."
He adds: "The real focus of the investigation is solving a large number of murders which remain unsolved."
Is there a problem looking retrospectively at a state which was thrown into a chaotic situation in the Troubles and facing extremely difficult decisions with agents?
"But it has to have done so within the law. The rule of law is indivisible between the state and its citizens. It must be followed by each and the state obviously has additional responsibility in administering the law, to do so within its own rules."
The Stakeknife investigation was commenced by his predecessor Sir Alasdair Fraser after cases referred to the appeal court revealed information that had not been given to police investigators.

Construction and Improvements at SRO
Update of New Construction: Completed July 2019
As of November 1, 2018 signed permits were issued and construction began on November 2, 2018. This construction project included two large 30 x 40 foot multi-telescope observatories and one private 10 x 12 foot observatory at SRO. The two large observatories were completed in July of 2019. The new private observatory was recently issues permits and will commence. The larger observatories house 12 telescopes (including larger aperture telescopes, such as the Planewave CDK 700 or 24" RC telescopes on equatorial mounts). Contact us at Info@SROservice.com for questions or availability. Also contact us if you wish to place a larger one meter class telescope, for which a dome or roll-off roof observatory can be constructed.
In addition we recently placed an on-site machine shop. In the future we will be adding a Warm Room to the observatory. This structure will have a working area, small kitchen and restroom.
As part of our continued commitment to infrastructure improvement we will also be adding a back-up generator on-site. Currently our clients and all SRO systems have UPS battery backup, however, in the unlikely event of a sustained power black-out, SRO will be installing a propane generator back-up power supply, We understand the importance of keeping power available so that our clients can continue with uninterrupted data collection, even during these rare events.
These additions will help bring SRO to the standards we envisioned when we first founded the observatory in 2006.
 Our Site Plan:
As construction progresses we will insert images periodically.
November 3, 2018: Breaking ground. Area for building 11 and 12 bulldozed and clear.
November 9, 2018: First row of foundation piers being dug for Building 11.
November 10, 2018: All the 6 foot holes for the building foundations and telescope piers have been marked and dug. Next the foundations will be poured. Later, the 6 foot deep telescope piers will be poured after the floors are built.
November 12, 2018: Preparing the foundation for pouring cement. Work is coming along very quickly.
November 16, 2018: Foundation and telescope piers being readied for concrete. Concrete forms completed for building 11.
November 18, 2018: First steel studs being placed via crane. The final structure will be 30 x 40 foot and steel has greatly added to its structural integrity. Note that we are pouring individual foundation piers which will support a wood floor, and not a single solid concrete slab. This decreases night time release of heat, which in turn helps preserve the local seeing conditions.
November 20, 2018: Steel wall studs in place for building 11 and will soon be placed for building 12.
November 20, 2018: Close-up of steel struts. Floor height can be seen by steel joist attachments. Should be pouring cement very soon.
November 24, 2018: Floor under construction for building 11 and foundation being prepared for studs at building 12. Construction moving along at a good pace.
November 27, 2018: The floor joists of building 11 are completed and stud foundations for building 12 are ready to be poured. Once the floors completed work can progress throughout most of the winter. We hope to be operational by mid-spring.
November 29, 2018: Even SRO has a foggy winter day now and then. Fortunately the stud foundations for building 12 were poured before the rain. The floor joists for building 12 will be up shortly.
December 2, 2018: Our first snow. Just a dusting. Hopefully we will not see enough to slow the project down.
The project is moving ahead of schedule. Walls are going up and we anticipate construction will continue throughout the winter months.
December 12, 2018: Walls now up for building 12. Rails up, off to the east, for the roll off roofs, as well. Note that the floors are wooden with no concrete slab, to decrease PM thermal contamination. Also, floors build off the ground for the purpose of clearance for air circulation.
December 12, 2018: View of steel beams for the roof rail system. The walls are up in building 12. The two original multi-telescope buildings, buildings 9 and 10, in the background.
December 12, 2018: Steel beams and framework for the roof rails. Original 8 private telescope observatories in the background.
December 20, 2018: Top of the East-West walls being prepared for the roof rails. Telescope pier sites being prepared for pouring of concrete.
December 31, 2018: The 12 base plates in place for building 12. These are each affixed to 6 foot deep cement piers. They are leveled, pointed to true north and have both a Software Bisque and SRO proprietary 5/8th inch threaded bolt pattern.
February 3, 2019: The rails are welded in place. The roof and wheels are attached. This is the largest roll off roff we have built at SRO to date, and one of the largest, perhaps the largest, roll off roof observatory yet made. The roof base is 30 x 40 foot in size.
March 26, 2019: The roof is up on both buildings. Weather clearing and we expect the pace of construction to pick up significantly. Trenches for power and internet have been completed.
April 2, 2019: Roof and walls completed. Electrical being run and ethernet to follow. Project is on track for completion late Spring or early Summer. Power lines currently overhead of buildings 11 and 12 will be moved by PG&E next week. A few tree's in filed of view of the buildings will be removed as well. This will result in unobstructed views to better than 20 degrees.
April 28, 2019: The main structures of Buildings 11 and 12 are completed. Conduit for electrical and Ethernet to and in these structures is completed.
May 9, 2019: Painting of the observatories underway. The south wall will be painted with a special highly reflective paint which will significantly decrease heat absorbance. This will help decrease the mirror cool-down times in the summer months by decreasing the daytime heat load sustained by the observatory.
July 28, 2019: The first few telescopes being moved into Building 11. Included are a few smaller telescopes as well as 24" and 20" PlaneWave CDKs on a Paramount Taurus Equatorial Fork Mount and PlaneWave L-500, respectively.

Contraception now free for French 15-18 year olds
AFP/Franck Fife
As from Sunday women in France will no longer pay to have an abortion and minors aged between 15 and 18 will be able to get free contraception in family planning centres.
The measures were promised by President François Hollande during his election campaign.
Health Minister Marisol Touraine announced that they would be coming into effect on International Women's Day, 8 March.
The contraceptives that will be free include first and second generation contraceptive pills, the contraceptive implant and sterilisation but will not include the patch, coil and cap and condoms.
National health insurance already paid 65 per cent of contraceptive costs for 15-18-year-olds.
Some conservative groups argue that making abortion and contraception free to minors encourages young women not to be responsible.
Veronique Séhier, co-president of the French family planning group, welcomed the measures, arguing that many women could not afford the cost of abortion, which ranged between 200 and 450 euros.
But Séhier wants more.
Contraceptives need to be freely available to everyone, wherever they are, she told RFI.

I imagine that Yip Harburg is unlikely to be the first name to spring to your lips if asked to name a famous American songwriter from the Thirties. So you'll probably be surprised to discover that you know many of his more famous songs, co-written with a number of composers, from Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? and April in Paris in the early 1930s through to We're Off to See the Wizard, Over the Rainbow, Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead, and the other memorable songs from The Wizard of Oz in 1939.
Possibly less well known (at least if you're under 50 years of age) is Lydia the Tattooed Lady, co-written with Harold Arlen with whom Harburg collaborated on the songs for The Wizard of Oz. This song, from the Marx Brothers' At The Circus, was to become Groucho Marx's signature tune. Let us share with you the pleasure of a great song by a great songwriter from a great film, performed by one of the greatest comic geniuses of the 20th century!
