The country Ukraine has been locked in a simmering conflict with Russian-backed separatists since Moscow annexed Crimea in 2014.\n\nIn the NotPetya attack, businesses with strong trade links with Ukraine, such as the UK's Reckitt Benckister, Dutch delivery firm TNT and Danish shipping giant Maersk were affected. The attack is estimated to have cost companies more than $1.2bn (£850m).\nReckitt Benckiser - maker of Dettol, Durex and Strepsils - said the attack disrupted its manufacturing output and shipping capacity for up to two months.\n\nOn Thursday the UK government took the unusual step of publicly accusing the Russia military of being behind the attack.\n\n\"The UK and its allies will not tolerate malicious cyber activity,\" the foreign office said in a statement. Later, the White House also pointed the finger at Russia.\n\n\"In June 2017, the Russian military launched the most destructive and costly cyber attack in history,\" a statement said.\n\n\"This was also a reckless and indiscriminate cyber attack that will be met with international consequences.\"\n\nRussia, however, said the claims were \"groundless\" and that Russian businesses were among those whose systems were affected.\n\n\"It's not more than a continuation of the Russophobic campaign,\" Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.\nForeign Office minister Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon said: \"The UK government judges that the Russian government, specifically the Russian military, was responsible for the destructive NotPetya cyber attack.\"\n\n\"Its reckless release disrupted organisations across Europe costing hundreds of millions of pounds.\n\n\"We call upon Russia to be the responsible member of the international community it claims to be rather then secretly trying to undermine it.\"\n\nMr Williamson warned that the West had \"entered a new era of warfare, witnessing a destructive and deadly mix of conventional military might and malicious cyber attacks\".\n\nPrime Minister Theresa May accused Russian President Vladimir Putin in November of attempting to \"sow discord\" in the West by meddling in elections, spreading misinformation and engaging in cyber warfare.",

Andrew MacLeod, a former UN worker who has been highly critical of the UN system, believes they should have been more active long ago. \"No one working in aid will be surprised by this,\" he said.\n\n\"This is not just an issue about Oxfam, it's an issue in all aid agencies all over the world.\"\n\nSensationalist headlines?\nSince the Oxfam scandal broke, Mr MacLeod has given numerous interviews, and provided an assessment to the tabloid newspaper The Sun which ran the headline \"UN aid workers raped 60,000 people\".\n\nAsked by the BBC to substantiate the figures, Mr MacLeod said: \"I'm not claiming that to be a number of science.\"\n\nSo where did he get it? By looking at UN figures for 2016, he explained, which suggest there were 311 cases of sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers during that year.\n\nA further suggestion by the UN that the numbers would be higher led him to double that annual figure, and then multiply it by ten because generally only about 10% of rape cases are reported.\n\nThat brought to him an approximate figure of 6000, which he then multiplied by ten again to cover a ten year period.\n\n\"Sensationalist and bombastic, zero creds,\" was the reaction of one female aid worker with years of experience in the field. \"Not the experience of any aid agency I have ever worked with.\"\n\nNevertheless, the UN knows it must now be much more transparent about what it is actually doing to combat cases of abuse.\n![5.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQZ6GKMhC5FE82KtpfDV3AJtpob8RHhWiD2m7dm6HaS1T/5.jpg)\nScandals in the past, such as the sexual exploitation of trafficked women in Bosnia by UN peacekeepers, a \"sex for food\" scandal which implicated the World Food Programme in Liberia, and the abuse of children in the Central African Republic by French peacekeepers have all raised questions about the UN's ability to prevent abuse, and to prosecute it when it does occur.\n\nIn fact, Judith Greenwood, Executive Director of the CHS (Core Humanitarian Standards) Alliance, says aid agencies and the UN do have \"the tools\" to tackle sexual abuse in the aid sector, although abuse committed by UN peacekeepers remains (at member states' insistence) the responsibility of the countries the peacekeepers come from.\n\nPointing out that the Oxfam Haiti scandal dates back to 2011, Ms Greenwood said a lot of good policy and practice had been adopted since then.\n\n\"There is an interagency task team that specifically looks at accountability to the affected population. All of our member organisations (all the major aid agencies, including Oxfam) have to have clear procedures in place to tackle exploitation and abuse.\"\nMeanwhile Unicef says any allegations of abuse of children in its care are referred to its executive director within 48 hours. They added: \"We are training our staff continuously in this, and we are improving our assistance to victims.\"\n\nThe UN this week also responded sharply to Andrew MacLeod's suggestion that UN aid workers committing abuse could get away with it because they enjoyed diplomatic immunity.\n\n\"Let's be clear about this. The answer is no,\" tweeted the secretary general's spokesperson. \"Sexual abuse is a crime. The UN does not and will not claim immunity in such cases.\"\n\nBut tweets and restatements of existing policy may not be enough to calm this debate, especially if there are more revelations of historic scandals.\n\nSkip Twitter post by @UN_Spokesperson\n \nUN Spokesperson\n✔\n@UN_Spokesperson\nLet's be clear. The answer is no. Sexual abuse is a crime. The United Nations does not and will not claim immunity in such cases. @CNNInternatDesk @HalaGorani https://twitter.com/AndrewMMacLeod/status/963421748120125440 …\n\n2:27 PM - Feb 13, 2018\n27\n23 people are talking about this\nTwitter Ads info and privacy\nReport\nEnd of Twitter post by @UN_Spokesperson\nUN aid agencies are currently trying to deal with an unprecedented number of humanitarian crises, from Syria, to Yemen, to the Democratic Republic of Congo.\n\nPrivately senior UN officials are concerned that the headlines may lead to a substantial loss of public support, and a consequent major cut in funding.\n\nThat's an outcome that won't help anyone, they argue. And here, even UN critic Andrew MacLeod agrees.\n\n\"This is not an excuse to cut aid. This is an excuse to fix aid.\"",

      "body": "![1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNpeJ9D1S9zvQddufVXQ5TufupWrdVAuXJW7YjyJkNjuN/1.jpg)\nIn our series of letters from African journalists, Elizabeth Ohene looks into recent reports that officials were refusing to register babies with Ghanaian names and only accepting European ones.\n\nIn Ghana, we have a thing about names and titles. It starts at birth, when there are many naming ceremonies.\n\nThe first one happens as soon as a child is born and is based on the day of the week he or she arrives.\n\nThus Kwadwo, Komla, Kwaku, Yaw, Kofi, Kwami and Kwasi are the names for males born on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively.\n\nThe female equivalents are Adzoa, Abena, Akua, Yaa or Yawa, Afua, Ama and Akosua.\n\nA week after the birth, on the eighth day, we hold an \"outdooring\" - a formal ceremony where the parents announce the child's given name.\n\nThe day name is still used and later in life, it often becomes your middle name. My middle name is Akua because I was born on a Wednesday.\n![2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfG8oY4DPJZdTMSsZUn6HaZtDN3xyUs5hSg7d18caV952/2.jpg)\nFor Christians, later on there will be a baptismal ceremony. In the old days, priests used to insist that a child should be given a Christian name - one that can be found in the Bible.\n\nThe biblical names given to children would be English or German, because the Bible was first brought to Ghana by people from those countries.\n\nThat is why you'll meet lots of Ghanaians called John, James and Johann.\nSome time later, there would be another ceremony when parents go to register the child at the Births and Deaths Registry.\n\nJudging from recent events in Ghana, it would seem that things have been coming to a head at this last naming ceremony.\n\nThe registry began refusing to register certain names that it deemed inappropriate.\n\nThis included names like Nana, Naa, Nii, Owula, Togbe, Junior and Prince - all of which are popular in Ghana.\n\nThe registry said these names were titles, not real names, and that they were intended for chiefs and royals - not ordinary children.\n\nNana's closest equivalent in English is Your Royal Highness. That name, from the Akan language, also exists in the Ga language as Nii for boys and Naa for girls.\n\nThe name Owula can be translated as Esquire, while the Ewe name, Togbe, literally means \"grandfather\" - indicating that the child has been named in honour of their elder.\n\nThe registry also rejected names where the English name came after the local language name.\n![3.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQF2graGqoUEjB4h3d76czxcQa4XopvG2h7s1sxngyupp/3.jpg)\nWrits have been filed in the courts, questions have been asked in parliament and a Minister of State has had to appear in the House to answer questions on the subject.\n\nHe assured politicians and the people of Ghana that the registry would accept names that they had been refusing to register.\n\nThe minister added that parents were free to register local language names as first names, and English names as the middle names.\n\nThis does not mean that people are now free to give their children whatever names they want.\n\nThe registry will not register your child as Honourable, Excellency, or Your Highness in English - but their Ghanaian equivalents, like Nana, are fine.\n\nTheir change of heart is good news for Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.\n\nIt would have been very strange if the registry had successfully argued that a new generation of Ghanaians could not be called Nana.",

The artistic skill is in visualising such an image, and the photographic talent is in achieving it.\"\n\nGrant Thomas won the title of British Underwater Photographer of the Year.

They don't work in the realm of yes or no, but in the almost surreal world of yes and no. This twin-state of quantum information is known as a qubit.\n\nUnstable liaisons\n\nTo harness their power, you have to link multiple qubits together, a process called entanglement.\n\nWith each additional qubit added, the computation power of the processor is effectively doubled.\n\nBut generating and linking qubits, then instructing them to perform calculations in their entangled state is no easy task. They are incredibly sensitive to external forces, which can give rise to errors in the calculations and in the worst-case scenario make the entangled qubits fall apart.\n\nAs additional qubits are added, the adverse effects of these external forces mount.\n\nOne way to cope with this is to include additional qubits whose sole role is to vet and correct outputs for misleading or erroneous data.\n![2.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPfmuQDPZ8XDpyMgyD5HNiovdLocYm6B1ivGhighF6pN3/2.jpg)\nThis means that more powerful quantum computers - ones that will be useful for complex problem solving, like working out how proteins fold or modelling physical processes inside complex atoms - will need lots of qubits.\n\nDr Tom Watson, based at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and one of the authors of the paper, told BBC News: \"You have to think what it will take to do useful quantum computing. The numbers are not very well defined but it's probably going to take thousands maybe millions of qubits, so you need to build your qubits in a way that can scale up to these numbers.\"\n\nIn short, if quantum computers are going to take off, you need to come up with an easy way to manufacture large and stable qubit processors.\n\nAnd Dr Watson and his colleagues thought there was an obvious solution.\n\nTried and tested\n\n\"As we've seen in the computer industry, silicon works quite well in terms of scaling up using the fabrication methods used\", he said.\n\nThe team of researchers, which also included scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, turned to silicon to suspend single electron qubits whose spin was fixed by the use of microwave energy.\n\nIn the superposition state, the electron was spinning both up and down.\n\nThe team were then able to connect two qubits and programme them to perform trial calculations.\n\nThey could then cross-check the data generated by the quantum silicon processor with that generated by a standard computer running the same test calculations.\n\nThe data matched.\n\nThe team had successfully built a programmable two-qubit silicon-based processor.\n\nCommenting on the study, Prof Winfried Hensinger, from the University of Sussex, said: \"The team managed to make a two qubit quantum gate with a very respectable error rate. While the error rate is still much higher than in trapped ion or superconducting qubit quantum computers, the achievement is still remarkable, as isolating the qubits from noise is extremely hard.\"\n\nHe added: \"It remains to be seen whether error rates can be realised that are consistent with the concept of fault-tolerant quantum computing operation. However, without doubt this is a truly outstanding achievement.\"\n\nAnd in an accompanying paper, an international team, led by Prof Jason Petta from Princeton University, was able to transfer the state of the spin of an electron suspended in silicon onto a single photon of light.\n\nAccording to Prof Hensinger, this is a \"fantastic achievement\" in the development of silicon-based quantum computers.\n\nHe explained: \"If quantum gates in a solid state quantum computer can ever be realised with sufficiently low error rates, then this method could be used to connect different quantum computing modules which would allow for a fully modular quantum computer.\"",

Is there anybody out there?',\" Dr Werthimer told the BBC.\n\n\"This is a new problem, it's only happened on orders we've been trying to make in the last couple of months.\"\n\nMining a currency such as Bitcoin or Ethereum involves connecting computers to a global network and using them to solve complex mathematical puzzles.\n\nThis forms part of the process of validating transactions made by people who use the currency.\n\nAs a reward for this work, the miners receive a small crypto-currency payment, making it potentially profitable.\nGPUs are high-performance chips and aren't just used for powering video games - they may be stacked together by Bitcoin miners, radio-astronomers or others interested in processing large amounts of data for certain applications.\n\n\"At Seti we want to look at as many frequency channels as we possibly can because we don't know what frequency ET will be broadcasting on and we want to look for lots of different signal types - is it AM or FM, what communication are they using?\" explained Dr Werthimer, who is chief scientist at the Berkeley Seti Research Center.\n\n\"That takes a lot of computing power.\"\n![5.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQma2NL4q3BTJmYnG9z5CdqqkAZoUUPWDc5seaxpuZe8ESa/5.jpg)\nHe added that, at some telescopes, Berkeley Seti has around 100 GPUs crunching data from large listening arrays.\n\nThese arrays can pick up the faintest of radio frequencies that have been flung across our solar system from elsewhere in the universe - often from natural phenomena such as collapsing stars.\n\nThe Seti scientists are currently trying to improve their capacity for analysing such data at two observatories - Green Bank in West Virginia and Parkes in Australia.\n\nBut they have been hit by the GPU shortage.\n\n\"We've got the money, we've contacted the vendors, and they say, 'We just don't have them',\" said Dr Werthimer.\n\nEarlier this year, there were reports that video gamers had been hit by a sudden rise in the cost of GPUs, thanks in particular to a rise in Ethereum mining, which can be done with chips aimed at consumers.\n\nAt the time, major chip-maker Nvidia said that retailers should make arrangements to make sure gamers' demands were met.\n\nIn a conference call last week, Nvidia's chief executive told investors the company was \"working really hard\" to \"catch up with supply\" and get GPUs to the marketplace.\nStar search\nOther radio-astronomers have been affected.\n\nA group looking for evidence of the earliest stars in the universe was recently shocked to see that the cost of the GPUs it wanted had doubled.\n\n\"We're in the process of expanding our telescope - we got a grant from the National Science Foundation here in the United States to do so,\" said Aaron Parsons at the University of California at Berkeley.\n\nProf Parsons' radio telescope, the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionisation Array (Hera), is an American, British and South African project located in South Africa's western plains.\n![6.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRhZptUdvYA2DPTnSScS5UZDmMRC2UcRiLAHXgF1BURk7/6.jpg)\nIt has been designed to listen to low frequency radio waves emitted by the reionising hydrogen gas that permeated the universe before the first stars and galaxies formed.\n\nGPUs are needed in order to bring together data from Hera's many small radio telescopes - this synthesises a much larger array, offering an especially wide field of view peering out into the universe.\n\nThree months ago, the Hera team had budgeted for a set of GPUs that cost around $500 (£360) - the price has since doubled to $1,000.\n\n\"We'll be able to weather it but it is coming out of our contingency budget.\" added Prof Parsons.\n\n\"We're buying a lot of these things, it's going to end up costing about $32,000 extra.\"\n\nHe also said he was concerned that future work could even be stopped in its tracks, should the GPU shortage worsen.\n\nMining's meteoric rise\nThanks in part to a recent boom in the price of crypto-currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, mining crypto-currencies has never been more popular.\n\nWhile Bitcoin miners have largely moved on to specialised \"Asic\" chips that have been designed from scratch to support mining, it's still possible to use GPUs on the Ethereum mining network to lucrative ends, according to cyber-security expert Matthew Hickey at Hacker House.\n![7.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmT1Wpdf7LT6v6TZHao4KjxNXLuywweHFjZNyfvoyUsYqX/7.jpg)\n\"[You can] use GPUs effectively to turn a small profit, you're not going to make millions but if you put 12 or 24 GPUs together, you'll make back the cost in six months,\" he told the BBC.\n\nGPUs are versatile, he added, pointing out that cyber-security experts sometimes use them for password-cracking experiments, in which computers make many millions of attempts at breaking into a system.\n\nBut Mr Hickey has also noticed that GPUs are now being sold on sites such as Ebay at inflated prices.\n\n\"It's becoming increasingly difficult to find suppliers and cards,\" he said.\n\nAre you involved in scientific research that has been affected by the GPU (graphics processing unit) shortage?

If marks persist, clean the surface with the furniture manufacturer's recommended cleaning process.\"\n\nRe-oiling\nGadget review site Pocket-Lint told the BBC it had never seen anything like this problem.\n\nThe website's founder, Stuart Miles, told the BBC that a speaker left a mark on his kitchen worktop within 20 minutes.\n\n\"To clear it, I had to sand the wood down and then re-oil it,\" Mr Miles said.\n\n\"It wasn't the end of the world for us. But if you've bought an expensive Scandinavian sideboard or some beautiful piece of wooden furniture and then got a mark on it from the speaker, you can imagine the horror,\" he added.\n\nThe problem has also been experienced by a New York Times review and the 9to5Mac news site as well as by at least one member of the public.\n\nSkip Twitter post by @Guyinsf415\nView image on Twitter\nView image on Twitter\n \nGuy San Francisco\n@Guyinsf415\nReplying to @Apple\n#homepod left rings on my wood furniture in less than 20 minutes of use.
