second tranche of emails from the University of East Anglia server includes a message from an author in an encrypted text file

an encrypted folder mysterious published online last week that contains more than 220 245 private e-mails exchanged between climate scientists includes a message from another author, the Guardian has learned.

When the second tranche of emails from a University of East Anglia in late 2009 servers have been downloaded from a server accessible to the Russian public on Tuesday, the file you were in - called "FOIA2011 "- also includes a message from an author in a README.txt. It also includes an encrypted folder called "All.7z" with 137MB of compressed text files, it is assumed that the emails that are, as promised in the message public.

Igor Pavlov, the Russian programmer who designed the software 7-Zip compression used by the popular author, reviewed and confirmed the encrypted file that includes another file manually created the file README.txt.

"7-Zip files is not [on file], which were not specified by the user," said Pavlov. The encrypted text file is very small - only 211 bytes in size - but it is large enough to contain, for example, a couple of sentences. In comparison, the README file published by the author last week contained 3607 words, a total of 24576 bytes.

Pavlov also found that the author - intentionally or by accident - do not encrypt the file names contained in the "All.7z" folder, despite this option available to them. "The 7z format allows the user to keep a list of folders in a file encrypted, "said Pavlov." But the list of files' All.7z "includes the name and file size. While the file data is encrypted in this file. "

ICT teaching English in schools in need of reform, he said in response to the review of video games and visual effects industry

computer classes are obsolete and very easy in English schools, the government warned.

computer classes - known as the Information Technology and Communications (ICT) -. Are "sufficiently rigorous" and in need of reform, the Ministry of Culture, Media and Sport said Monday

The warning came as part of the government's response to an independent review of how the UK can become the first center in the world of video games and visual effects companies.

The study, published in February by Ian Livingstone and Alex Hope, who are leading figures in the industry, asked the status of ICT in schools to be "urgently addressed". They warned that if the government could not solve the problem, the United Kingdom no longer remain globally competitive in these areas.

The UK games industry is worth over £ 2 billion in global sales per year - more than any of his movies or music. The visual effects is one of the fastest in Britain growing industries. But the two sectors are afraid of losing their advantage because schools and universities fail to teach students the skills of their industries need.

"Industries suffer from an education system that do not understand our needs," the magazine, adding that ICT in schools that teach word processing and spreadsheets students, not computer expertise , such as coding and programming.

was down 57% in the number of students ICT GCSE in the last five years, while last summer the number of students sitting A-level computer fell for the eighth years in a row.
The president of Google, Eric Schmidt, was a critique of the education system in the UK at a conference in August, saying the country had failed to capitalize on its history of innovation in science and engineering.

decades after the World Bank and IMF came into force, we have the technology to ensure that countries can hold their governments accountable

an old black and white photograph taken in 1944 at the Bretton Woods conference that led to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows that men in gray suits meeting to design the future multilateral system. Fast forward 67 years to a community a few miles west of the capital of Tanzania, where local residents are using GPS devices to gather public information on local services - schools, clinics, utilities and garbage dumps - what information can be loaded into a data card online, ultimately supporting their government.

that ministers of government, international aid organizations, NGOs, foundations, organizations, and others meet in Busan, South Korea, the fourth High Level Forum on efficiency help to discuss the future of aid coordination, one thing is clear: the future development does not lie with men dressed in black behind closed doors. Not only developing countries that are providing two-thirds of global growth, which makes the old paradigm with a north-south on his head, but it is clear that effective development requires the participation not only of governments but beneficiaries local communities and citizens more generally. And with 21 century technology, we now have the means to get there.

was the use of the Internet - an interactive platform called checkmyschool.org - which saw an elementary school principal in the province of Leyte in the Philippines get a lot of construction work to continue in school, damaged by natural disasters. The director went online and filed a complaint with the delay, for fear of corrupt practices were responsible for the acquisition. His complaint prompted a quick response. The work was completed and 800 students received a new roof of the school.

was through SMS messages from mobile phones than citizens of the province affected by the conflict in South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo were able to vote for the priorities of the local budget, to break a vicious circle of mistrust and service providers of poor quality. Therefore, for the first time in decades, local budgets have begun to include investments in local communities that provide basic services to the poor, and in response, people began to pay taxes.

These movements of transparency - giving citizens access to information -. Century 21 Da which means the saying "knowledge is power"

And the power of knowledge can be further increased: transparency breeds accountability and a focus on results - for taxpayers believe that aid funds are used appropriately, for a citizen feeling that the government did the right thing. Emphasis was placed on transparency and donors. UK Coalition of civil society organizations working in the government, aid effectiveness and access to information, Publish What You Fund, has released its index of transparency of aid by international donors and Note 58 bilateral rankings of the World Bank more transparent. Some donors do well, all donors can do better

: But before becoming too self-congratulory, remember the general message.

Maybe we can take some heart from another study on the quality of aid released this month, as a boost to Busan. The Center for Global Development and the Brookings Institution found the back of the World Bank for the poor, the International Development Association, the United Kingdom and Ireland scored in the top 10. And according to the study, due to a greater commitment to transparency, the area in which donors are most improvement was in transparency and learning.

developing countries are also seeing the value of opening up their data. Kenya became the first country this year in Africa to launch a national initiative to open databases. In just three weeks. It is now possible for anyone to obtain census data or control of budgetary expenditures at the county level or find a health center nearby. Moldova did the same thing. Other nations such as Mongolia, Nigeria and Rwanda wants to do the same thing.

Following my interview with the CEO of The Economist Group, Andrew Rashbass, which released its interim results.

They show that the group's operating profit increased in the first half of the year to 26.2 pounds, up 6% last year. Revenue up 4% to £ 164.3m.

Editor Chief Economist, John Micklethwait, Rashbass echo saying that the magazine had "benefited from globalization, the spread of English and the enormous increase in interested public in coverage Intelligent politics, business, science, technology and culture. "

The Internet is an ideal medium for the exchange of information, but at what cost to our privacy?

All eyes were on last week Leveson research and public spectacle of the press, and finally eat. Cameras focused on the notable figures involved, and who testified against a property room unscrupulous and unethical practices.

This modern witch hunt, alerted by the phone-hacking scandal that rocked the Murdoch press, the rule also revealed much about the UK, attitudes towards privacy. When questionable practices presented in the juicy treats celebrities in print was largely indifferent. Only when research tenacious

Guardian

journalist Nick Davies has discovered a gap in our national unwritten code of ethics - which, above all, like us regular people affected - people will start taking action.

What I find most fascinating, however, is how the relationship between media sensationalistic diverted attention from another development, endemic in our attitudes to privacy - which is spending online. The horror that many people express about the operations behind the scenes of the empire Murdoch and Fleet Street shows the degree of faith that the readers who was in the newspapers. Are not the people in charge of journalism supposed to have our best interests at heart

Internet complicates and obscures issues: people are not always aware that what they say and do in virtual reality - whether in a private community of an appeal or in a manner explicit public - is recorded and stored, because their interaction with the computer itself is intimate - they and the machine. They feel deprived of networks that interact feels closed. And so they are more inclined to share without much resistance.

But unlike the speech in which Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg said privacy in the era of social media "dead", the survey of Alan Westin of Columbia University, said that our views on privacy are still based on personal and cultural diversity. Do you live in an authoritarian or democratic? How many can claim social legitimacy on the basis of their wealth, race and state? Who are in their lives, their life circumstances, their personal situation? The answers to these questions shape our views on privacy.
