Pluto TV Launches 'Star Trek' Channel That Includes Selected Eps From 'Picard' & 'Discovery'
The free streaming service Pluto TV launched a Star Trek-centric channel today that will air selected episodes from all of the "Star Trek" television shows, including several from the CBS All-Access original programs "Star Trek: Discovery" and "Picard."
The channel kicked off with a 12-hour marathon under the banner of "Star Trek United," which features episodes "championing diversity, equality and tolerance." That will be followed by a week's worth of episodes from the universe of "Star Trek" television shows, including the original series, "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine," "Voyager" and "Enterprise."
The channel will also notably air selected episodes from the two "Star Trek" original programs that have been produced for the subscription-based streaming service CBS All-Access. I believe this marks the first time episodes of either "Star Trek: Discovery" or "Picard" have been available for streaming in the United States outside of CBSAA.
According to the programming director of Pluto TV, three episodes of "Picard" will air during the week as well as one episode of "Star Trek: Discovery."
The "Star Trek" channel can be found here or on the Pluto TV app on Channel 661.
And as part of the promotion, CBS All-Access is promising to donate $1 to the Black Lives Matter movement for every person who tweets the hashtag #StarTrekUnited on Wednesday,

Hi Boatshed Seattle, Thank you for the update. I'm impressed with the Boatshed system. As you probably already know, the first people who looked at the boat the weekend Scott picked it up from us purchased it. The sale closed today. It all happened so fast! We will be in the market for a boat when we get to Florida, so we'll definitely consult the Boatshed site once we have settled in.
Love the individual pages devoted to each boat, very informative.
Always good to go on Boatshed site, pics always instructional!
BOATSHED I can thoroughly recommend Boatshed to anyone in need of a marine broker. Offices in all districts , enthusiastic staff , helpful advice & fantastic record of sales. A unique feature is the huge number of photos , taken from all angles which must be invaluable for buyers.
Mr Paul Watson acted as a Boatshed Sales Broker for me for the sale of my Westerly. This was not an easy sale as four weeks into the process the boat suffered accidental damage requiring expert repair. Mr Watson did not allow any of this to delay the task in hand. Throughout the time the boat was for sale he did a most excellent job. In particular he was always available for advice. I cannot recommend him too highly.
This really is the easiest way to sell a boat. Tim, from Boatshed Brighton, came and took all the details and a catalogue of pictures, next thing it was on their website and I started to receive emails when someone viewed the details. Three weeks later boat was sold and they handled all the paperwork, what could be easier!
Well Rosie has now gone, all funds are cleared and bill of sale signed so everything has happened. A sad day but a necessary one. Many thanks for your help in getting to this point, I will definitely be recommending Boatshed to anyone that I come across. Very many thanks Tim.
Thank you Tim, for guiding us through the purchase of our lovely new liveaboard yacht. Totally recommend Boatshed Brighton for friendly, helpful and efficient service.
Our new boat arrived at Exmouth safely at eight o'clock Friday. Many thanks for your professional help . Happy Christmas.
Thank you for all your help and professionalism in selling Lady Barb we are soooooo pleased that it has gone to a good home and that the new owners are so happy. We would certainly recommend you to anyone.
Re my recent boat purchase though Boatshed at Poole I would just like to commend the team that handled the Purchase. As I am based in China the whole proceedings had to be handled by E mail which adds an additional complication to the procedure, but the whole transaction was dealt with in a very professional & friendly way by Mr. West & later by Jane. This gave me the confidence to proceed without actually viewing the boat.
Many thanks for your email confirming the purchase of the Rival 32. I am very pleased with her and I would like to thank Richard for a very straightforward transaction and you for the very easy contract completion.


At the beginning of this year, our outlook for 2012 was built around the theme of investing in the face of a weak global economy. At the time economists had come to the realization that the U.S. economy was not just in a weak patch and that Europe's sovereign debt crisis was a long way from being resolved. The consensus was that real GDP growth would slow to a 2.2% rate in 2012 — forecasts that now appear to have been too rosy. Today the economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect the U.S. economy to eke out real output growth of only 1.9% for the second half of 2012 and to average less than 2.2% in the coming 12 months. They also expect Europe's recession — now three quarters old — to last until well into 2013, believe that Japan will experience several more quarters of below 2% growth, and recognize that growth is still slowing in the emerging markets. The weak growth is affecting the outlook for profits at U.S. corporations, which have been hitting record high levels. Since January of this year, however, analysts have been marking down their earnings estimates for the S&P 500, in large part because of signs of weakness in profits from overseas operations.
Yet despite this less-than-cheery economic news, stock markets are up – by a lot. Year-to-date the S&P 500 has risen 18% and despite Europe's woes, MSCI's EAFE index of foreign developed-country stocks is up by 15.9%. It is always possible to spin a story about stock prices finally responding to pent-up demand and investors growing weary of low interest rates on bank deposits and Treasury bonds. But anyone who has not been camping for a week in the Grand Canyon without electronics knows why global stock markets are up: They are responding enthusiastically to extraordinary easing actions by the European Central Bank (ECB), the Fed and, most recently, the Bank of Japan.
Mario Draghi, head of the ECB, broke a log-jam during the past two weeks by first stating that the ECB would do "whatever it takes" to ease Europe's 34-month long debt crisis and then clarifying that by stating that it would be buying the sovereign bonds of Eurozone member states as long as the government under question is complying with a Eurozone-approved program. Bond yields for some of those countries, notably Spain, had crept above the 7% level that is widely considered unsustainable during the summer. The ECB's bond buying is intended to help member countries keep their borrowing costs down. The FOMC – the policymaking body of the Federal Reserve – followed last week by announcing it would buy $40 billion in U.S. agency-issued mortgage-related securities in an open-ended commitment that has been dubbed "QE3" as the third massive long-term securities buying or quantitative easing program initiated by the Fed since 2008. The Bank of Japan then announced it, too, would be providing massive monetary stimulus to its economy. Other central banks, including those in the emerging markets and the Bank of England are expected to follow suit, in part to try to keep their currencies competitive as monetary easing in the largest countries puts downward pressure on the major currencies.
The provision of so much new stimulus by central banks is controversial. A majority (28 of 51) of economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal the second week of September, for example, thought that another round of large-scale bond buying would be a mistake. The thinking, it appears, is that long-term interest rates are already so low that few private sector borrowing and investing decisions will be influenced by interest rates that are a few basis points lower. In addition, the concern is that flooding the markets with liquidity will risk higher future inflation and a plummeting dollar. Stock markets, however, are clearly not concerned. Global markets rallied on the announcements by both the ECB and the Fed, and indeed rose ahead of the announcement of the details of those central banks' programs. In this regard, the stock market's reaction is in line with its response to QE1, QE2, and "Operation Twist," a Fed program announced last September and still in place that seeks to reduce long-term interest rates by buying long-term Treasury securities and simultaneously selling an equivalent amount of short-term Treasuries: The market has risen following the initiation of all three of those programs (Exhibit 1).
Despite the commitments of central banks to large-scale monetary stimulus, it is far from clear when the global economy will shake itself out of the doldrums. Historically, economies have taken years to emerge from the debt overhangs that have typically followed the bursting of bubbles and financial crises, and there is little reason to think that this time is different. And monetary stimulus works, in the words of the late Milton Friedman, with long and variable lags. To be sure, economic forecasters envisage a pickup in global growth beginning around the middle of next year, but economists nearly always forecast a return to trend in economic growth. A working assumption that global weakness will continue for several more quarters is on firmer ground, in our view. What is an investor to do when the outlook is for yet more weakness?
Our recommendation a year ago, when the investment climate looked not much better than it does today, was to maintain a substantial allocation to equities, and to favor high-dividend paying stocks and defensive sectors within them. Within fixed income, meanwhile, we suggested investing in spread product, specifically high-grade corporate stocks. In addition, we recommended taking advantage of alternative strategies to help cushion volatility. These recommendations were based on historical relationships that showed that these kinds of assets did surprisingly well in periods of slow (0% to 2.5%) real GDP growth. Later in the year we amended these recommendations to include growth stocks, mostly based on our view that the outlook for technology and consumer discretionary stocks looked favorable. We also suggested that investors favor commodities as an asset class.
So far this year, returns on at least three major asset classes — large and small-cap U.S. stocks and high-grade corporate bonds — have performed better or almost as well in this year's slow-growth environment than historical relationships would suggest (Exhibit 2). Commodities have not performed well as an asset class, however, mainly because of a more-rapid-than-expected deceleration in China's economy, which is the world's largest user of commodities.
Looking ahead, the global economic outlook today is remarkably similar to what it was at the beginning of the year: Slow GDP growth and the potential for high market volatility. To be sure, the massive monetary stimulus being provided by central banks around the world will eventually reflate the global economy, but we lack conviction about when this will occur. So far this year, volatility has been subdued, which is remarkable in a world with so much potential for a surprisingly poor economic outcome in Europe, rising geopolitical risks in the Middle East (including Iran), and a presidential election in the United States. As of September 21 the VIX index of future stock market volatility implied by options prices, colloquially known as the "fear index" stands about 14, which is below its average of almost 23 since the beginning of 2007 and well below the 40-60 level it sometimes reaches during periods of financial and political stress. We believe, however, that the November 6 presidential election and the fiscal cliff approaching after the turn of the year have the potential to lead to a rise in volatility.
Equities: Overweight large-cap relative to small- and mid-cap stocks. Favor domestic over foreign stocks, growth over value stocks, and maintain a bias toward fundamental- and dividend- focused fund managers.
Fixed income: Overweight spread product vs. Treasuries, and bonds with lower duration vs. those with greater interest rate sensitivity.
Alternatives: Stay diversified in this composite asset class whose managers have the latitude to respond to a variety of market conditions. Favor global macro absolute return and market neutral funds, commodities (which should benefit from a weaker dollar), and global real estate investment trusts.
It is natural for investors to try to anticipate the results of presidential elections and position their portfolios accordingly. We are not convinced of the wisdom of doing this. While presidential election predictions have improved over time with more frequent and accurate polls, it is not clear that the same can be said about the ability to forecast the market's reaction to election results. This is in no small part because the market's response can vary with the joint outcomes of races for seats in and control of both houses of Congress as well as for the White House.
Without committing to a forecast of the outcome of the November elections, it is possible to discern patterns in how the market has performed in past election years. According to Ned Davis Research, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has on average underperformed in January-October in presidential election years since 1900 relative to non-election years, but outperformed in November and December. This is consistent with a rise in the market as uncertainty is resolved by the election — one way or another. It is worth a word of caution, however, that this is a tendency only. Many other factors can affect the course of the stock market during an election year. Remember 2008, when the market tanked as the global financial crisis deepened at the end of the year? One such special factor this year could be the "fiscal cliff" — the tax hikes and automatic spending cuts that are scheduled to occur after the turn of the year absent action by Congress and the president. Uncertainty about how the issue will be resolved could easily cancel out any post-election market boost.
Tax policy: A Republican victory is far more likely to result in an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts on households earning more than $250,000, which should favor providers of luxury goods, though the effect is unlikely to be large (wealthier consumers have a lower propensity to consume than the less wealthy). A Republican win would also likely encourage the repatriation of large cash holdings held overseas by technology firms.
Regulation: Republicans are more likely to back away from corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) rules, to the benefit of the auto industry. The outlook for more flexibility in the enforcement of the Dodd-Frank bill following a Republican win will favor financial firms, both large and small. Democrats, meanwhile, would be more likely to continue or expand programs to deter foreclosures. The reduced supply of existing homes on the market would spur new home building and benefit homebuilders.
Energy policy: If Democrats win, look for a renewed push on renewable energy, which should benefit producers of natural gas, lithium batteries, and hybrid vehicles. Manufacturers of materials that qualify for energy-efficient programs, and the firms that install them, should also benefit. A Republican victory should benefit the extractive industries generally, including drillers, oil service providers, diversified oil companies, coal producers, and mining companies.
Healthcare: Insurers stand to benefit from the expansion of coverage and larger insurance pools, but will face higher costs because they will be required to spend a large portion of premiums on health-related costs. The drug industry and hospitals, hoping for new business, supported the legislation. Drug stores are likely to benefit from a Democratic victory in that more prescriptions are likely to be filled. One tip-off to potential winners and losers: When the Supreme Court affirmed many portions of the legislation on July 28, stock prices of major insurance companies fell, while those of hospitals rose.
Technology: If Democrats win, large-cap broadband firms stand to gain from an expanded fiber build-up. A higher level of R&D spending under a Democratic administration would likely benefit providers of medical software.

Here I am writing this month's 'DISPATCHES' after just returning from quite possibly the most successful and enjoyable 'Three City Tour of Australia' yet as part of K&C's Annual OzFest Down Under trip to meet'n' greet King & Country Collectors and Dealers in that great country.
As usual the visit began in Brisbane with our good friend Brett Williams of The Toy Soldier Workshop before moving on to Sydney and meeting up with Peter & Sven of Peter Nathan Toy Soldiers. The final destination was Melbourne and the linkup with Howard Woods and his Toy Soldier Experience.
Each dealer provided excellent venues and a host of great attractions in the shape of dioramas... competitions... lucky draws... and special guests (including yours truly) that drew 'full houses' at each event.
Simultaneously, I had the valuable opportunity to meet and talk with many individual Aussie collectors on a one-to-one basis that as usual provided a wealth of great ideas and original suggestions.
The 'Aussie' hospitality and good humour throughout the entire trip was well up to Australia's legendary reputation and standard!
Even the 'winter weather' was generally beautiful, especially in Brisbane and Sydney... Melbourne, not so much until a sunny last day!
However, it's the people who make the place and Australia is a fantastic place to visit... If you ever get the opportunity to make it 'down under' – don't miss it!
And so, back to the 'salt-mines' and here's what is appearing in August...
1. WHAT'S NEW...?
Coming in August
A. Napoleon & Josephine
Over the years K&C has produced more than a few figures of Napoleon Bonaparte however this is the first time we have designed and made a special 2-figure set that includes one of the great loves of his life... Josephine de Beauharnais (1763-1814).
Her marriage to Napoleon was her second, her first husband being guillotined during the 'Reign of Terror' that followed the revolution of 1789.
Already the mother of two children before she met Napoleon in 1795 she was six years older than him. Smitten by her charms and beauty they married just one year later.
Their married life afterwards was far from perfect with both indulging in extramarital affairs. Eventually, Napoleon chose to divorce Josephine because of her inability to provide an heir. Both however retained a great fondness for each other that survived their divorce in 1810 and lasted until their deaths... Josephine in 1814 and Napoleon himself in 1821.
NA414 "Napoleon & Josephine"
Here we see Napoleon himself dressed in the uniform of a Colonel of Chasseurs of the Imperial Guard. It was the Chasseurs of the Guard who usually provided the personal escort to the Emperor and he often wore the regiment's uniform in recognition of their loyal service.
Josephine meanwhile is gracefully attired in a pale blue and delicately embroidered 'classical-styled' dress complete with a wine velvet 'manteau' edged with ermine and decorated with gold, hand-sewn motifs.
NA415 "Sapeur of the Grenadiers"
This figure is in 'campaign dress' complete with his traditional axe and a 'Musket' with fixed bayonet on his back.
His sleeve badge consists of the 'crossed axes'. He is also armed with a short sabre.
AVAILABLE: Mid August
B. THE ENEMIES OF ROME ATTACK!
From a leader of the early 19th Century we journey back in time to Barbarian Warriors of almost two millennia before... Here, are the first five fighting warriors (there are more in the pipeline) ready to do battle with the Legions of Rome...
RnB010 "Fighting Chieftain"
Carrying a richly – decorated bronze shield this Chief is about to strike down one of his Roman opponents... No mercy asked... No mercy given!
RnB011 "Fighting Warrior"
Before coming to blows this barbarian warrior takes the time to look over his enemy.
RnB012 "Charging Warrior"
Wearing a wolfskin over his chainmail armour vest this warrior rushes forward to, he hopes, surprise his enemy.
RnB016 "Throwing Spearman"
RnB017 "Advancing Warrior"
C. 'SOMEWHERE IN NORMANDY 1944'
Once in a while it's good to revisit and in this particular case resculpt an old favourite that has been much requested...
DD371 "Dead & Wounded GI's"
Three 'Casualties of War' in 3 x different poses that prove, once again, that the price of freedom is never free!
D. "THE REAL WEST"
Following the successful launch our first set of 'mounted' John Ford Cavalry figures here are three more to extend and expand your troop...
TRW137 "Mounted Trooper A"
This moustachioed trooper sits confidently on his chestnut mare... Once more this figure has the 'moveable head' which allows him to scan the horizon from left to right and still keep an eye open for those dangerous Apaches!
TRW138 "The Bugler Corporal"
An essential part of any cavalry troop, our bugler is mounted, by tradition, on a different colour of horse than his fellow soldiers... All the better for his officer to see him in a battle situation.
This particular figure's head is 'fixed' as he is blowing his bugle.
TRW140 "Mounted Trooper B"
The second of our mounted Cavalry troopers, sits with his gloved hands folded over each other... Like 'Trooper A' he has the moveable head feature.
AVAILABLE: Mid-Late August
E. 'VIETNAM ARMOUR & AUSSIES'
The Vietnam War has featured prominently these past few months with major releases of U.S. Marines fighting their way into the old Vietnamese Imperial Capital of HUE during the 1968 TET Offensive... the pivotal point in America's involvement in the entire Vietnam conflict.
First, we released the Marines in combat, some of the finest and most realistic fighting figures King & Country has ever produced. Now we are releasing one of their most famous fighting vehicles and... The first infantry figures of one of their most valiant and reliable allies in that war... Australia!
VN015 "The USMC M50 A1 ONTOS"
Officially known as 'The Rifle, Multiple 106mm, Self-propelled, M50 this U.S. light armoured, tracked, anti tank vehicle became better known as 'THE ONTOS'.
Initially designed in the 1950's as a fast tank-killer for airborne forces it won its battlefield reputation during the Vietnam War.
Its six 106mm recoilless rifles comprised its main armament and could be fired in rapid succession against single targets to guarantee a 'kill'.
Although originally designed for the Army's Airborne divisions it eventually ended up with the Marines after the Army cancelled the project.
The Marines however used the 'ONTOS' for direct fire support against enemy infantry operating in fixed locations such as bunkers and houses.
During the battle for Hue the ONTOS was much in evidence and played a major role in helping the Marines retake the old Imperial Capital.
Our King & Country model is in USMC markings and carries the nickname 'SIX-GUN SUZIE' on one of its six 106mm barrels. The set also includes a vehicle commander in the top open hatch firing his .30 cal. machine gun.
VN016 "The Loader"
The perfect 'add-on' to VN015... This Marine man-handles one of the large 106mm rounds ready to reload one of the ONTOS barrels.
VN030 "Australian Patrol Section"
As stated earlier, Australia was one of America's staunchest allies throughout the Vietnam War and contributed over 60,000 men to the conflict between 1962 and 1973.
Here, we present a set of 4 'Diggers' from the Royal Australian Regiment as they would have appeared on patrol during the 1967/68 period.
As you can see their appearance and some of their weapons are radically different from our US Marines in Hue. The Aussies favoured 'bush hats' in place of steel helmets and rarely wore flak jackets... Their uniform and web equipment shows a mix of British, Australian and American influences. As does their weaponry... Our 4-man set carries the American M60 machine gun... the M79 Grenade Launcher and the M16 Automatic Rifle... The standard military rifle most Aussies carried was the L1A1 Self Loading Rifle, the same as the British Forces of that time.
This K&C set was previewed to great acclaim during my recent 'Aussie Trip' and, going by pre orders, is already a big hit!
An additional 4-man patrol set is already in development for release later this year.
VN031 "Aussie Patrol Commander"
During our recent 'Aussie Trip' this particular figure was made available to collectors and is now available worldwide...
The standing 'Patrol Commander' holds his military-issue binos in one hand and his SLR in the other... A great 'stand-alone' figure... Even better with his four mates!
VN032 "The Vietnam Walls Set"
K&C featured this 3 x Section Walls Set in all of our promotion material for the new Vietnam series... As you can see it's very flexible and although specifically designed for a Vietnam street scene it works equally well in other settings.
AVAILABLE: Mid to Late August
F. 'BLOOD & GUTS IN THE PACIFIC'
From the streets and jungles of Vietnam we move back a quarter of a century to the beaches and jungles of the South Pacific with our latest reinforcements for our popular USMC in WW2...
USMC042 "Marine w/Tommy Gun"
A Marine Corps NCO (non commissioned officer) cautiously advances his trusty 'Thompson' at the ready...
USMC043 "Hold On Buddy... We're Almost There!"
A Marine BAR Gunner hoists a wounded Marine onto his shoulder and carries him back to safety.
USMC044 "Navy Corpsman & Wounded Marine"
As a gravely-wounded Marine awaits evacuation a Navy Corpsman gives him a sip of water.
Navy Corpsman during WW2 were enlisted medical specialists of the U.S. Navy who also served with U.S. Marine Corps units.
Their bravery under fire was legendary and in WW2 alone they won no less than 7 Medals of Honor.
USMC045 "Marine Machine Gunner"
A classic pose firing a classic machine gun... The M1917 Browning Machine Gun. This belt-fed, water-cooled weapon served alongside its lighter air-cooled Browning M1919 'cousin'.
Although seeing limited action in WW1 the gun came into wide use in WW2 particularly in the 'fixed defense' role and as a battalion and regimental support weapon.
USMC046 "Kneeling Marine w/Pistol"
There must be a good reason this Marine has taken out his M1911 single action, semi-automatic .45 caliber pistol.
Designed by John Browning, the M1911 was adopted by the US Military in 1911... It went on to provide long and service well into the late 1980's before being replaced by the Italian Beretta 92F.
Even after more than 70 years the M1911's reputation for 'stopping power'... reliability and sturdiness remains undiminished.
As the new items appear some older ones, alas, have to disappear...

Comedian Stephen Colbert had previously created his own "Colbert Super-PAC" to lampoon the recent Citizens United decision, in which the Supreme Court removed restrictions on corporations to spend on behalf of candidates. Still working to make a point about how lax the nation's campaign finance rules are after the Citizens United, Colbert created a shell corporation at the end of September, appropriately named Anonymous Shell Corporation, to funnel money into his Super PAC. Doing so ensures that the sources of funding for the PAC remain hidden. This video clip gives an accurate, albeit amusing, bit of insight into how Citizens United is corrupting our political process.

Q: How do you setup multiple instances of vsftpd to run on different listen ports? I need to setup 2 different instances of vsftpd. Which will listen on 2 different ports such  that one instance listens on the default port 21 and the other can listen on another port 1123. Please guide me on how to setup vsftpd to listen on 2 different ports. I have the following vsftpd.conf file:
listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
dirmessage_enable=YES
use_localtime=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
xferlog_file=/var/log/vsftpd.log
ftpd_banner=Welcome to the FTP Service.
chroot_local_user=YES
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem

A: There are at least 2 ways of doing this

*

*run in standalone mode
setup several different vsftpd conf files.
In each set a different listen_port and call each with vsftpd /path/to/conf/file
make sure to also enable standalone mode in each conf file (set listen to YES and disable vsftpd in inet/xinet)

*using systemd.unit to control the different configuration files (using systemctl start @service notation)

In your case simply create the 2 conf files, and start both instances as per option 1

A: This is a nice little write up for getting this working on CentOS.  But should work for Debian based OS's as well.
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-ftp-vsftpd-start-multi.html
If you cannot run two instances on the same server for whatever reason you could just use iptables to redirect all traffic on port 1123 to 21.
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1123 -j REDIRECT --to-port 21

A: Read the manual man 5 vsftpd.conf

listen_port If vsftpd is in standalone mode, this is the port it will listen on for incoming FTP connections. Default: 21

A: I needed to setup 2 instances of VSFTPD. So I created a 2nd conf file /etc/vsftpd-2.conf and a 2nd init script /etc/init.d/vsftpd-2
I edited the contents of /etc/vsftpd-2.conf to include the following line listen_port=1123.
I also needed to edit the /etc/init.d/vsftpd-2 file so when the start-stop-daemon is starting up the application, it uses a different pid & a different vsftpd conf file.
Below are some excerpts from the /etc/init.d/vsftpd-2 file:
CONFIG2FILE="/etc/vsftpd-2.conf"
#DAEMON="/usr/sbin/vsftpd ${CONFIG2FILE}"
DAEMON="/usr/sbin/vsftpd"
ARGS="$CONFIG2FILE"
NAME="vsftpd-2"
PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
LOGFILE="/var/log/vsftpd.log"
CHROOT="/var/run/vsftpd-2/empty"

CONFFILE="${CONFIG2FILE}"

case "${1}" in
    start)
        Check_standalone_mode || exit 0
        echo -n "Starting FTP server: "
        start-stop-daemon --start --background -m --oknodo --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd2.pid --exec ${DAEMON} -- ${ARGS}
        echo "${NAME}."
        ;;

    reload|force-reload)
        echo "Reloading FTP server configuration: "
        start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/vsftpd/vsftpd2.pid --signal 1 --exec $DAEMON -- ${ARGS}
        echo "${NAME}."

About Fishing Gear
Purse Seine
BMIS Information Menu
Purse seine gear
See the ISSF Observer Training Handbook for a detailed description and illustrations.
A purse seine is a large wall of netting deployed around an entire school of fish or a Fish Aggregating Device (FAD). The seine has floats along the top line with a lead line threaded through rings along the bottom. Once a school of fish is located (either by visual cues such as congregations of seabirds or dolphins, or through using sonar), a skiff encircles the school with the net. The lead line is then pulled in, "pursing" the net closed on the bottom, preventing fish from escaping by swimming downward. The catch is harvested by hauling the net ('net rolling') and stacking it on the back deck of the vessel until all slack is removed and the fish are crowded in the 'bunt' and a brailer (small net) can be used to scoop out the fish.
Purse seines can reach more than 2000 m (6,500 ft) in length and 200 m (650 ft) in depth, varying in size according to the vessel, mesh size, and target species.
Purse seine bycatch
Purse seine fisheries can be broadly classed as associated or unassociated. For example, sets on free-swimming schools of tuna are 'unassociated' and generally have a very low bycatch rate. 'Associated' fisheries involve sets on floating objects that are either natural, such as logs or palm fronds, or man-made, such as Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs). FADs attract large numbers of fish species thus, when fishing on FADs, bycatch rates are higher. This is true for sharks, where bycatch rates are also increased through entanglement in FAD netting. Sea turtle bycatch in purse seines and entanglement in FADs is low. 'Eco' FAD designs (non-entangling and biodegradable) are being promoted to reduce shark and sea turtle entanglement and to reduce marine debris.
Purse seine sets are also associated with marine animals such as dolphins, whales and whale sharks. Dolphin mortality in seines in the eastern Pacific was a significant issue in the 1960s that was ameliorated with the advent of the 'backdown procedure and Medina Panel' and, more recently, regulations prohibiting setting on dolphin schools. The practice of setting on whale sharks is increasingly discouraged or prohibited by RFMOs through regulation, e.g., WCPFC Conservation and Management Measure for Sharks 2019-04 and IATTC Resolution C-19-06 on Resolution on the Conservation of Whale Sharks.

The State Bar of Michigan Alternative Dispute Section will host a teleseminar about mediating attorney fee disputes from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 12. Registration is required by Sept. 8, and dial-in instructions will be provided on participants' registration confirmations.
The teleseminar will be moderated by Grand Rapids attorney and mediator, Robert E. L. Wright. Byron P. "Pat" Gallagher Jr., who serves as a mediator of attorney fee, business, real estate and probate disputes at his East Lansing firm, The Gallagher Law Firm, will discuss the challenges attorney fee disputes can present to mediators. Attorney fee disputes are difficult to resolve because of perceptions, personalities, pride and sometimes bad behavior by one or more participants. To be effective, the mediator must have a basic understanding of attorney fees, fee agreements and related legal and equitable issues. The mediator must be able to marshal this understanding to identify the issues, build trust, build consensus where possible and develop a workable solution.
Participants will learn how the nature of the dispute impacts the mediation; the impact of claims of malpractice, ethical violations and fraud on negotiations; how to deal with attorney-client privilege claims and waivers; authority to settle affected by these variables; factors parties need to address in fee disputes; when attorney fees may be recovered by law or court rule and prevailing standards; common objections mediators are likely to encounter; and answers to questions about dealing with these disputes.
The teleseminar is free for sitting judges, costs $10 for Alternative Dispute Resolution Section members and law students, and $40 for non-section members. To register online or download a copy of the mail-in registration form, visit http://connect.michbar.org/adr/home.

The 6 Differences between SSD and HDD Storage
By Dominic Cooper / Storage
Whar are the differences between SSD and HDD storage? One always gets confused between HDD and SSD. Some think it is the same. Some fail to understand the difference.
Thus, it becomes hard to compare both properly. Because both of them are storage devices. Both read and write data. Both also store data. HDD is also known as Hard Disk Drive.
It is an old-school storage device. It uses mechanical platters to read, write, and store data. SSD is also known as Solid State Device. It is faster and a new advanced drive which reads or writes and stores data, instantly.
In HDD there are a series of platters which is covered by the ferromagnetic coating. The data is read or written by a head that moves very fast from one area to another of the disk.
The SSD is a new type of disk which stores information on flash memory. It consists of individual memory cells. The cells store bits which are assembled by the controllers instantly.
Many laptops and computers consist of hybrid drives. It means it has both SSD and HDD known as SSHDs(Solid-state hybrid drive). The system is partitioned in a very unique way.
Like this system containing the operating system(OS), used files and application programs are stored in the SSD. While data like movies, photos documents are all stored in the HDD.
The HDD is also larger and inexpensive compared to the SSD. Sometimes, the Hard Disk Drive is also available with storage space more than SSDs. The SSD can be thought to be a larger USB drive.
It uses the same based technology as the USB drive. It also loads faster for games, applications, and other programs. Therefore understanding the difference is very simple if one keeps a few factors in mind while analyzing the difference between the HDD and SSD.
Differences between SSD and HDD Storage
Who is Better – SSD or HDD
Read Also: What is eMMC Drive - Lifespan, Work Process, Pros & Cons
1. Speed
The speed between both HDD and SSD are very important. It will make one understand the difference between both storage devices. SSD has always been faster than the HDD. It is around 10 times faster than HDD. It is because of its advanced technology. Copying, moving files, and more which are done by the user explain the actual difference between the two. Copying process in SSD is quick and takes less time than in HDD. For instance, it takes 500MB per second(MB/s).
HDD is also known as a traditional storage device and the copying speed of this storage device 30-150 MB per second (MB/s)making it slower than the SSD.
2. Lifespan
The SSD cell can survive up to 300 write cycles. Due to the principle of "wear leveling" the controller of the SSD makes sure that the operation is spread equally across all the cells. It is done in order to minimize the "cell death". Also, modern SSD have spare cells that replace the cells that go bad. This is called "Bad Block Management". The more advanced the SSD, the longer the lifespan.
Depending on the usage of the HDD, the lifespan is measured. It is measured in the amount of data it can read and write. The average lifespan is around 4 years. It is because they are moving parts. The lifespan also depends on the brand.
3. Capacity
Old SSD does not generally come with large capacity but due to advanced technologies, SSD now comes with terabyte storage. Small SSDs which are recommended by many come around 160 GB to 256 GB which holds programs of one's OS(Operating System).
HDD's capacities range from 40GB to 12TB. These days, one can purchase a 2TB hard drive which offers plenty of space and is inexpensive.
The best way one can utilize is a hybrid. Both can be purchased together with a smaller SSD to hold the programs of the user's Operating System(OS) and also to take advantage of the SSD's highest speed. Alongside having an HDD to store other files when speed is not important.
Read Also: 10 Differences between Internal and External Memory
SSD here has an upper hand in the factor of durability. It is because in an extremely harsh environment it can stand accidental drops and even shock vibration(many are shock resistant), high temperatures, and magnetic fields. It is due to the small size and it consumes low power. SSD is better for computers and laptops because it is durable.
On the other hand, HDDs cannot withstand extremely harsh environments because they have moving parts like the actuator arm. If accidentally dropped then it may lead to data failure.
5. Utility
SSD delivers faster load time for games application, movies, and many more. The technology which is used for SSD is are very light. It uses less energy and allows the computer to run faster.
While some benefit a lot from SSD. HDD is used for the same purpose. Like playing games, storing applications, movies, songs, and many more.
Once the user chooses between SSD and HDD and which one to purchase after comparing and deciding. Another main factor is the prize that comes into the user's mind.
An SSD is typically more expensive than HDD. The older the SSD the cheaper the price. But to keep up with the world of technology and advancement. Many users go for the latest and the advanced SSD which leads them to a higher price.
To the ones who want more capacity in less money. To the ones who want more capacity but at an inexpensive price, then buying the HDD will be the best. To go for HDD is way more inexpensive and affordable than SSD.
Deciding on purchasing any one of these storage devices depends on the user's choice. Keeping in mind the other factors including the price gives a proper overview to the user.
If one is comfortable in purchasing an HDD because of one's tight budget then one can always opt for an HDD. And in case if the user wants to upgrade to a better storage device then SSD can serve the best.
Read Also: What is Optical Drive on Computer - Work Process, Pros & Cons
This is because it's more improved and the speed is faster. In both cases the SSD or HDD, one needs to keep one's drive clean to operate properly. Running low on space and using a lot of space can lead to slow down and even crashes.
If the user is looking for a storage device that will run faster while playing games, then SSD will be the best option. Because SSD helps games load and run faster.
One will experience fewer problems while using an SSD. If one is looking for daily use and wants an inexpensive storage device which can serve better then HDD is a better option.
It is because it has a solid-state drive. It has the same amount of storage and also more storage space than SSD but it is also heavy. It uses more energy compared to an SSD these days.
Therefore, many people opt for SSD for a slow usage of energy and because it is lighter compared to HDD. The best and the third option one can never opt for is having a hybrid of both also known as SSHD it is a good option for gamers having a large steam collection.
It handles more than an SSD. Having extra speed and many more combinations like a smaller SSD and a slightly bigger HDD to store other files. It's an offer that serves the best of both the storage devices which is also worth considering.
After pointing down all the differences and comparing the two storage devices. Now it depends on the user's choice and budget to see which one the user can afford and purchase. Both have their pros and cons but a third choice makes it easy for the user to choose.

On Wednesday of last week March 7th, the entire student body in Clongowes came together for a liturgy in preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation for Lent 2018 led by Fr Barney McGuckian SJ.
As we gathered together in the Sports Hall at 9.15pm, the atmosphere was relaxed and reflective as we watched some film, listened to music and readings and spent some time in silence. Clips from the film 'The Shawshank Redemption' featured with reflections on the strong Christian themes and symbolism, which the film suggests – especially around the theme of hope and redemption.
Higher Line remained on after the liturgy when a great many students came forward to receive the sacrament on an individual basis. With extra priests coming in from neighbouring parishes on both this night and in the days following, the extraordinary take-up of individual confession by the students meant that almost the entire school population availed of this opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation this Lent.
Our ability to present a stimulating liturgy to the boys through a medium to which they relate, is greatly enhanced by our newly installed sound system in the Sports Hall, allied to very high quality video projection system (more here). Their level of engagement on the night was testimony to this reality.

I have read and I accept the Privacy Policy
XEMBIFY® (immune globulin subcutaneous human–klhw) is a 20% immune globulin indicated for treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) in patients 2 years of age and older. XEMBIFY is for subcutaneous administration only.
Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin products, including XEMBIFY. Risk factors may include: advanced age, prolonged immobilization, estrogens, indwelling vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors
For patients at risk of thrombosis, administer XEMBIFY at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk of hyperviscosity
XEMBIFY is contraindicated in patients who have had an anaphylactic or severe systemic reaction to the administration of human immune globulin. It is contraindicated in IgA-deficient patients with antibodies against IgA and a history of hypersensitivity.
Hypersensitivity. Severe hypersensitivity reactions may occur with immune globulin products, including XEMBIFY. In case of hypersensitivity, discontinue infusion immediately and institute appropriate treatment. XEMBIFY contains IgA. Patients with known antibodies to IgA may have a greater risk of developing potentially severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions.
Thrombosis. Thrombosis may occur following treatment with immune globulin products, including XEMBIFY. Thrombosis may occur in the absence of known risk factors. In patients at risk, administer at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk of hyperviscosity.
Aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS). AMS may occur with human immune globulin treatment, including XEMBIFY. Conduct a thorough neurological exam on patients exhibiting signs and symptoms to rule out other causes of meningitis. Discontinuation of treatment has resulted in remission within several days without sequelae.
Renal dysfunction/failure. Acute renal dysfunction/failure, acute tubular necrosis, proximal tubular nephropathy, osmotic nephrosis, and death may occur with use of human immune globulin products, especially those containing sucrose. XEMBIFY does not contain sucrose. Ensure patients are not volume-depleted prior to starting infusion. In patients at risk due to preexisting renal insufficiency or predisposition to acute renal failure, assess renal function prior to the initial infusion of XEMBIFY and again at appropriate intervals thereafter. If renal function deteriorates, consider discontinuation.
Hemolysis. XEMBIFY may contain blood group antibodies that may cause a positive direct antiglobulin reaction and hemolysis. Monitor patients for clinical signs and symptoms of hemolysis. If signs and symptoms are present after infusion, perform confirmatory lab testing.
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI). Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema may occur in patients following treatment with immune globulin products, including XEMBIFY. Monitor patients for pulmonary adverse reactions. If TRALI is suspected, perform appropriate tests for the presence of antineutrophil and anti-HLA antibodies in both the product and patient serum. TRALI may be managed using oxygen therapy with adequate ventilatory support.
Transmissible infectious agents. Because XEMBIFY is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, eg, viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent, and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent. No cases of transmission of viral diseases, vCJD, or CJD have ever been associated with the use of XEMBIFY.
Interference with lab tests. After infusion of XEMBIFY, passively transferred antibodies in the patient's blood may yield positive serological testing results, with the potential for misleading interpretation.
The most common adverse reactions in ≥5% of subjects in the clinical trial were local adverse reactions, including infusion-site erythema (redness), infusion-site pain, infusion-site swelling (puffiness), infusion-site bruising, infusion-site nodule, infusion-site pruritus (itching), infusion-site induration (firmness), infusion-site scab, infusion-site edema, and systemic reactions including cough and diarrhea.
Passive transfer of antibodies may transiently interfere with the immune responses to live attenuated virus vaccines (eg, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella).
Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information for XEMBIFY.

« 7 March 1959: when Arsenal made a bid to be top (again)
Peter Goring: one of the XI in Arsenal's 1953 championship »
5 March 1980: Cup winners' cup quarter final: Arsenal 5 Gothenburg 1
Arsenal had won through to the quarter final of the CWC in 1979 with two wins and two draws in earlier rounds:
19 September 1979: Arsenal 2 Fenerbache 0
3 October 1979: Fenerbache 0 Arsenal 0
24 October 1979: Arsenal 2 Magdeburg 1
7 November 1979: Magedebury 2 Arsenal 2
At this point the CWC went into hibernation for the winter emerging with a 3rd round tie against IFK Gothenburg in March 1980.
That gave Arsenal a lot of time to prepare for the tie – playing games while their Swedish opponents had ther winter break. And by and large Arsenal did rather well.
This "doing rather well" run started on 19 January 1980 with a 2-0 home win over Derby County. Only 22,091 turned up, but the team put out had the classic feel of the era:
Jennings, Rice, Nelson, Talbot, Walford, Young, Brady, Sunderland, Stapleton, Price, Rix.
But it wasn't a great game, and indeed the Pools Panel, now firmly ensconced in British gambling culture, were said to be more entertaining a watch than this. In the end perhaps Derby County went to sleep or perhaps they were so embarrassed by the paucity of the fare that they had to do something, but whatever the cause, they did indeed do something. On the hour Webb gave away a penalty when it was easier not to. Brady scored.
On 66 minutes Willie Young advanced with the ball, the Derby players headed for the touch line in the face of such an onslaught and for once the crowd made more noise than the players although a lot of the time it was with the chant of "We are boring, we are boring, we are boring, Arsenal".
Brady did however at one point manage to lob the ball onto the roof of the north stand, and get it stuck behind the Arsenal crest. Clever that.
Next up….
26 January: Brighton And Hove Albion (H) FA Cup 2-0
Jennings, Rice, Nelson, Talbot, O'Leary, Young, Brady, Sunderland, Stapleton, Price, Rix.
Arsenal had enough chances to reach double figures, but took pity on their visitors and gave Moseley in the Brighton goal the chance to do the traditional FA cup thing and have the time of his life. On the half hour Rix crossed and Nelson, pushed through a pack of players to head home. Brady re-awoke from his recent slumbers, Talbot hit the bar, Brady was denied an obvious penalty twice, and then eventually Talbot got the second on 79 minutes. It was, everyone agreed, infinitely better than the last game.
The journey towards the Cup Winners' Cup continued.
9 February: Aston Villa (H) 3-1
Another game another song. "What's it like to be outclassed" rolled out of the north bank Rix, Stapleton and Sunderland tore into the visitors from the start, So overwhelming were Arsenal there wasn't that much to say about the game so some journalists concentrated on the latest rumour of Brady going to Roma (which of course he didn't do).
Rix, Stapleton, Sunderland and of course Brady were the stars while for Villa it was Rimmer in goal. For the first goal Stapleton passed to Sunderland who flicked past Rimmer. For the second Rix scored in off the post from 30 yards out. For the third Rix found Brady, who went round McNaught twice just for the hell of it before giving it back to Rix. Rimmer saved and Sunderland put in the rebound.
The ref allowed the Villa goal despite a foul by Glasson and disallowed three legit Arsenal claims for penalties. It was ever thus. Now back to the FA Cup
16 February: Bolton Wanderers (A) FA Cup 1-1
The pitch was mud and soon the players were covered in it, and the tactics were to boot the ball as hard as possible in what was generally vaguely the right direction.
But the trouble with mud is that it can make you slip over as the Bolton centre back found. Sunderland ran in, knocked the ball temporarily out of the mud and Stapleton scored on 18 minutes. In reply Bolton got a corner, and Allerdyce (who some journalists insisted on calling the "strapping Allardyce") jumped upwards and headed ball and mud into the net.
Arsenal hit the post in the second half and forced goalkeeper saves but in the end there is only so much mud you can take.
19 February: Bolton Wanderers (H) FA Cup 3-0
In Arsenal's first attack Price centred the ball, Young helped it on and Sunderland bent in half to head in from six yards. After that the bravado and swashbuckling style took over which was fun but was to be had at the cost of more goals until on 34 minutes Greaves mistakenly passed the perfect pass to Sunderland who for a moment looked bemused but then realised his duty and scored.
Then either side of half time Allerdyce went off followed by Gowling who was knocked over by McDonagh, one of his own team mates. It was incredibly simple for Arsenal, and they were pleased to take it, knowing who would be at Highbury on Saturday.
23 February: Bolton Wanderers (H) 2-0
Jennings, Rice (Vaessen), Nelson, Talbot, O'Leary, Young, Brady, Sunderland, Stapleton, Price, Rix.
It was Bolton again, it was another win, and the details need not be remembered. But instead let us fast forwards to…
1 March: Stoke City (A) 3-2
Jennings, Devine, Nelson, Talbot, O'Leary, Young, Brady, Sunderland, Stapleton, Price, Rix.
So comprehensive was this defeat of Stoke that Alan Durban admitted that even if Stoke had gone another goal then Arsenal would immediately have scored a fourth.
And yet despite the score the first half was dull, but then in the second everything change. On 46 minutes Stapleton crossed to Rix, the Stoke defence watch both of them, and Sunderland was left free to score. Cook equalised at once for Stoike, but then first Price then Brady put the home team in their place. Lee Chapman eventually got one back, but Arsenal then held them in their place.
And thus, after a fine set of results, Arsenal played again in the CWC
5 March: Gothenburg (Sweden) (H) Cup-winners' Cup 5-1
Jennings, Devine, Nelson, Talbot, O'Leary, Young, Brady (Hollins), Sunderland (McDermott), Stapleton, Price, Rix.
It was cold. Very very cold. Which presumably gave Gothenburg the advantage. The score was gold but Brady, Sunderland and Stapleton all hobbled off, either with footballing injuries or frostbite, it was hard to tell.
Goteborg (to write it properly) took the lead after some serious misfiring from Arsenal, but after five semi-attempts Stapleton found Brady, Brady found Sunderland and in it went. Then a Brady, Talbot, Price combination resulted in the second.
Then it was Sunderland again (getting his injury en route) before Brady scored a magnificent goal on the hour on receiving a chip from Devine. For the next Young jumped with the goalkeeper, possibly impeded him, but the ref let it stand.
It was easily enough for the tie and the replay would be a formality. We were through to the Cup Winners' Cup semi final.

Roger Stone, Trump confidant, found guilty of lying to Congress
Trump reacts with tweet calling justice system biased against Republicans

Roger Stone, a longtime Republican political operative and confidant of President Donald Trump, was convicted Friday for lying to Congress, obstructing an official proceeding and witness tampering.
Stone was found guilty on all seven charges he faced from a January indictment stemming from former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's probe into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election.
[Roger Stone's lies caused inaccurate House Russia report, Mueller team says]
Stone worked for Trump's campaign in 2015 and served as an unofficial adviser in 2016, when he began communicating — or trying to communicate — with WikiLeaks through a back channel source and feeding information about hacked Democratic emails to the Trump campaign, documents from the trial showed.
Trump reacted to the verdict on Twitter, calling it a double standard that is biased against Republicans.
"Well, what about Crooked Hillary, Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Shifty Schiff, Ohr & Nellie, Steele & all of the others, including even Mueller himself?" he wrote in a post around 12:15 p.m.
At a September 2017 deposition before the House Intelligence Committee, Stone lied to lawmakers five times, the jury found, about who his back channel source to WikiLeaks was, the nature of their communications, and whether Stone had communicated what he knew about the hacked Democratic emails with the Trump campaign.
Stone later intimidated radio host and comedian Randy Credico, whom Stone falsely identified as his Wikileaks source, into not testifying before the committee.
The five instances of lying and Stone's intimidation of Credico led to the most serious charge of obstructing a congressional proceeding.
Stone faces up to 20 years in prison. He will be sentenced at a later date.
Stone was the last person to be indicted by Mueller's special counsel team. Trump routinely dismissed Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference as a "witch hunt" and "hoax."
Prosecutors argued in their closing statement on Wednesday that Stone's alleged lies to the House Intelligence Committee on Sept. 26, 2017, obstructed the congressional panel's separate probe into Russian election interference and led lawmakers to issue incorrect conclusions. The jury in a federal courthouse sitting several blocks from the Capitol ultimately agreed.
In its final report, the Intelligence Committee concluded there was "no evidence" Stone had any advanced knowledge about WikiLeaks' releases of hacked Democratic emails.
Prosecutors argued that conclusion was based on Stone's repeated lies, which prevented the committee from obtaining that evidence.
While Stone's lawyers claimed their client had no motive to lie in 2017 since Trump was already president, prosecutors said Stone knew it would harm Trump's political standing if it came out that an informal adviser to his campaign, who communicated frequently with Trump himself, had been in touch through a conduit with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, whom intelligence officials have said received the hacked Democratic emails from Russia.
"The truth looked bad for the Trump campaign and the truth looked bad for Mr. Trump," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Kravis said. Therefore, he added, "Stone lied."
