A toxic generation
By KEITH SHADWICK
Last updated at 16:22 06 March 2007
The consultant and I were alone together in a tiny room on the umpteenth floor of a large London NHS hospital. He was looking at the results of a recently completed scan on my lungs. It was late summer 2005, a day of unbroken sun, and I'd ridden to the hospital on my mountain bike, revelling in the freedom.
Now we were in this broom cupboard of an office as a result of my noticing a cough and a strange sensation in my lung that hadn't gone away.
My GP had initially refused to refer me for an X-ray, but eventually relented. The X-ray and consequent CAT scan had quickly established that something in the lung was awry, but nothing could have prepared me for what this consultant was about to say.
'What you've got is either a benign asbestos-related lung condition or mesothelioma,' he said.
Asbestos? I'd never worked in industry, never knowingly been near building materials. Mesothelioma? What was that? I couldn't even pronounce it.
The consultant continued: 'A biopsy will decide it. If it's a benign asbestosrelated condition then you could reasonably expect to live for years, if not decades. If it's mesothelioma — and that's what I think it is - then 12, maybe 18 months. You're young - early 50s - so maybe 18.'
I went cold, said nothing. He gestured with his hand. 'There are treatments, but none I think worth having. The surgery is too brutal and of no help. You'd end up a wreck: believe me, I've seen the results.
'If I were you, I'd go home, open a bottle of claret and enjoy what time is left.'
I looked into his eyes. 'Is that your opinion or is it fact?' 'It's my opinion,' he answered.
'Thanks, but I'll stick to fact.' With that, my personal quest for a mesothelioma treatment - and a future worth having - commenced.
It would take my wife and me to America, France and Australia before my treatment commenced, five months later. First I had to defeat the feeling of being a dead man walking. That could come only through the birth of hope.
Things didn't start too well in that department. I underwent a biopsy involving a 'video thoroscopic viewing'.
This confirmed the mesothelioma, yet offered nothing else but bad-tempered nurses and a shrug of the shoulders from the consultant surgeon who delivered the news to my bedside.
When a third London consultant recommended I take part in a formal mesothelioma trial at Guy's Hospital in London, explaining that this trial offered hope of 'a cure', I was hooked, and booked, within the week.
But at the first interview there I was told there was 'no cure' and that the trial was to establish the worth of radical surgery called Extra Pleural Pneumonectomy (in which the lung, the lung lining and part or all of the diaphragm are typically removed).
The surgery is risky - it kills one or two people in every 20 - but only half the patients in the trial would be offered it in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The others would have just radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Like everybody else in the trial I would be a guinea pig, with no control over my treatment which would be decided by computer lottery. I asked what was in it for the guinea pig. 'Posterity,' was the candid reply.
Posterity? I had a wife who'd just started a high-pressure job and two teenage children, sitting GCSEs and A-levels that academic year, to consider. I politely declined the trial.
Mesothelioma is a devastating cancer of the lung lining caused by exposure to asbestos. The cancer is initially highly localised within the body, although very aggressive. It typically spreads from one lung along the lung lining to the diaphragm and into the chest wall.
Its victims die from the overwhelming effects of the cancer as it produces chemicals that gradually run the body down and destroy its resistance. It rarely spreads beyond the side of the body it is initially found within.
It is a separate cancer from that of the lung also caused by asbestos, which accounts for about 5 per cent of all lung cancer cases in the UK each year.
Asbestos-triggered lung cancer typically develops in the bronchial passages - as does smoking-related cancer - and its development is virtually indistinguishable from the latter.
As with most cancers, there is no established pattern to the development of the disease. Some people work with asbestos for their entire adult life and do not develop mesothelioma; others have a very limited exposure, perhaps days or hours, and become victims.
Some doctors think a genetic disposition may account for this, but this is unproven. However, it is known that the gestation period of this cancer is typically 30 to 40 years.
For decades, mesothelioma was seen as the occupational disease of people who work in heavy industry or the building trade. That is rapidly changing.
As Dr David Landau, who runs a mesothelioma clinic at St Thomas's Hospital in London, observes: 'The typical patient is male and in his 60s.
Most are manual workers or engineers...but there is an increasing number of patients in their 40s or 50s have had no obvious asbestos exposure. This Baby Boomer group is definitely expanding.'
There is a clear link between the widespread proliferation of asbestos in office, school and domestic building programmes in the late 1960s and the current rise in cases.
The Baby Boomers who are only now being diagnosed could well have had their fatal contact with asbestos 30 to 40 years ago. The only likely explanation for my exposure was the new wing at my school. The asbestos was later removed, but by then I was long gone.
Dr Landau believes that the incidence, which has doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 new cases in the past decade, will rise rapidly over the next ten years.
Cancer Research UK predicts that 200,000 people could contract asbestosrelated cancers from exposure in the 1960s and 1970s; other experts believe 90,000 could die from mesothelioma.
The U.S. has already experienced the onset of a mesothelioma epidemic and a similar pattern has emerged in Australia which, along with South Africa, was one of the major asbestos exporting countries until relatively recently.
In Australia, there is a legally established link between asbestos and mesothelioma, and major-league legal suits against the manufacturers and users of the material are ongoing.
In the UK, much of the health service is only just waking up to this potential epidemic, so treatment for this disease is currently a low priority in the NHS.
Because mesothelioma is initially highly localised, if diagnosed early enough, it lends itself to removal through radical surgery. This option, however, is controversial and some experts in the UK remain sceptical about both its efficacy and its impact upon a patient's quality of life.
I sought the advice of experts in five other countries to help me decide on this step in my treatment. One such expert, Professor Thierry Le Chevalier of the renowned Institut Gustave- Roussy in Paris, gave me reason to consider the treatment, before wryly commenting about my situation in the UK.
'The English tend to be pessimists. They will concentrate on the 95 per cent of people who don't make it through. We Normans are optimists.
We like to think about the 5 per cent who do.'
But one area upon which there is agreement among medics is the need for the 'gold-standard' drug combination - Pemetrexed and Cisplatin - to be a routine part of the chemotherapy treatment of mesothelioma within the NHS.
As I know to my cost, this level of treatment has been withdrawn over the past year through the good offices of the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE). This leaves NHS mesothelioma patients no option but to undergo chemotherapy using the combination of Gemcitabine and Cisplatin.
The decision has been met with dismay and condemnation from patients and the medical profession, and the reason is not hard to find.
The response rate for Gemcitabine is around 20per cent; for Pemetrexed, it is around 40 per cent. Last year NICE declined to fund this treatment, claiming it was 'not cost-effective' by their own fairly arbitrarily imposed criteria.
As Dr Jeremy Steele, consultant oncologist at the Mesothelioma Research Fund at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London, explains: 'What is so galling is that Pemetrexed is trialled and licensed for use in the UK and is routinely used in most EU
countries for this condition. We are the exception.'
Dr Landau believes mesothelioma could be among the top ten UK cancers in the next decade. But aside from the explosion of cases, there is another urgent reason for research to be funded.
Dr Steele thinks that the possible genetic underpinning of this cancer is a prime candidate for well-funded research that, if successful, could benefit victims of other more common cancers such as those of the breast, bowel and prostate. That alone should persuade the Government to encourage research into mesothelioma.
The death toll could be even higher.
'The predictions of the past decade have underestimated the number of cases,' claims Dr Landau. 'We are seeing younger patients with less asbestos exposure. I think there is likely to be a significant increase in the number of cases over the next two decades.'
More alarming figures have recently been cited by Professor Julian Peto, Cancer Research UK Chair of Epidemiology at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He estimates that '90,000 people could die from mesothelioma - it has already killed twice as many people as cervical cancer'.
Yet in all this uncertainty and gloom, there is always hope. Dr Landau says: 'I think the greatest optimism comes from new drugs; targeted biological agents.
'In the past two years, kidney cancer has emerged from being one of the tumours that never responded to one that we now have three or four excellent treatments for, and we expect more. There is good reason to hope the same will happen with mesothelioma.'
In my own case, with one lung still sound, five months after my diagnosis and exhaustive research, I opted for the controversial 'tri-modal' treatment. This combined the radical surgery with intensive radiotherapy (six to seven weeks of it) and six cycles of a very punishing form of chemotherapy.
This was to be undergone at Bart's in London - at that time one of the few NHS hospitals in the country to offer the 'gold-standard' drug Pemetrexed as part of its chemotherapy programme.
During my visits to the mesothelioma clinic there, I realised that mesothelioma victims from all over the country were coming to Bart's in their desperation to get chemotherapy with Pemetrexed.
As it happens, I had to have the surgery privately (via health insurance) to avoid my operation date being 'bounced' - the long delay in finding the right treatment might have severely jeopardised my chances of avoiding a spread of the disease to the chest wall. That would have rendered me inoperable.
After surgery I was to move on to radiotherapy and, unusually, chemotherapy as the last part of my radical treatment. Within a fortnight of my leaving hospital to recuperate at home, Bart's NHS Trust had pulled the plug on Pemetrexed.
With nowhere else to go, I had radiotherapy and chemotherapy through private health channels as a back-up to the surgery. But then, I was lucky: I had a lung left to breathe with.
During my recovery period in hospital, I received first-rate nursing. As I improved to the point where I was out of bed and going for little walks, one nurse who had been particularly encouraging asked me what operation I'd had. I told her the disease and what the surgeon had been obliged to remove.
She looked at me in wonder and surprise, then leaned forward to ask me a question. Her voice quivered with concern.
'Did they take out both lungs?' I took a deep breath. 'No,' I said.
She looked relieved, patted my shoulder, gave me a wink and said: 'That's good, then.'

MEDIA STATEMENT | Royal Papua New Guinea Constabulary
Yesterday the last of the asylum seekers on Manus were reluctantly transferred from the 'processing centre' to accommodation in the capital Lorengau after a month-long stand-off. On Thursday this statement had been issued by the PNG police commissioner....
PORT MORESBY - Police Commissioner Gari Baki has said that a total of 50 people were peacefully relocated from the Lombrum based Regional Processing Centre to the two immigration centres on Manus Island.
Of this number, 36 non-refugees and 13 refugees left voluntarily after being briefed and convinced by PNG government officials whilst one, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani, was escorted from the centre by government officials.
"I am glad that this relocation exercise was done peacefully and without use of force," said Mr Baki. "Kurdish journalist Boochani was not arrested, nor was he charged.
"He was stirring up trouble and telling the other refugees not to move out of the centre so police and officers from the Immigration and Citizenship Services Authority simply escorted him out of the decommissioned centre and transported him to the East Lorengau Refugee Centre where he now remains.
"Everybody has been jumping up and down about the treatment of the refugees which is nothing but the best so far," said Mr Baki.
"Critics are failing to acknowledge the pressure, stress and strain the refugees are placing on PNG government officials on Manus as well as the local Manus people.
"We have 10 Immigration officials and 50 policemen on Manus trying to manage more than 600 refugees whilst at the same time attend to ongoing law and order issues on the island province."
Mr Baki said the PNG authorities were doing the best they can and expressed frustration that the refugees continue to be stubborn and defiant.
"The fact is that we are not moving them into the jungle," he said. "They are being relocated to two centres where there is water, electricity, food and medical services.
"We now have a grave concern for the health of the refugee remaining at Lombrum. Health authorities have cautioned against the outbreak of water-borne diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid.
"Concerns raised by the refugees about their safety and security at the new centres are unfounded. Manus is a peaceful island and I am sure it is a walk in the park compared to what they left behind in their respective countries.
"I would urge churches, international organisations and the media to refocus their attention and take a much wider appreciation of the Manus regional processing centre and its impact, not just on the refugees but also on local Manusians as well. Manus and its people will never be the same again.
"I am appealing to the 328 refugees still residing in Lombrum to be considerate and voluntarily relocate to their new camps where they will not miss out on anything," Mr Baki said.

Juan Francisco Estrada came to fight Saturday night, but it wasn't enough to beat the man, who beat the man, who beat Estrada.
Thailand's Srisaket Sor Rungvisai took the hardest shots Estrada landed, regularly connected with his straight left hand, did good body work and won a majority decision in their 12-round fight for Sor Rungvisai's WBC super flyweight title. Sor Rungvisai (45-4-1, 40 KOs) won on the scorecards of judges Cathy Leonard (115-113) and Steve Morrow (117-111), while judge Dave Moretti scored the action even (114-114) in the main event of HBO's "Boxing After Dark" tripleheader from The Forum in Inglewood, California.
Mexico's Estrada (36-3, 25 KOs), the mandatory challenger for Sor Rungvisai's title, took the Thai southpaw's power well and boxed effectively at times. Estrada still fell short in his bid to become a world champion in a second division.
According to unofficial CompuBox statistics, Sor Rungvisai connected on just five more overall punches than Estrada (194-189). CompuBox credited Sor Rungvisai for landing more power punches (186-147), but had Estrada landing more jabs (42-8).
"I was very, very confident that I was winning," Sor Rungvisai said. "But more importantly, I wanted to bring this belt back to Thailand. … I'll fight anybody at 115 and I'll fight Estrada again."
Sor Rungvisai made the second defense of the WBC 115-pound championship he won from then-unbeaten Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez last March 18 at Madison Square Garden. The 31-year-old Sor Rungvisai, who knocked out Gonzalez in the fourth round of their rematch September 9, had a much tougher time with Estrada.
The game challenger believes he did enough to take the title from Sor Rungvisai.
"The people are the judge and you can hear them, that they saw me win," said Estrada, who wants a rematch. "I thought I won the whole time out. The judges saw it that way. That's what it is. But I felt I won the majority of the rounds. But the people saw what happened."
Prior to Sor Rungvisai's victory Saturday night, Estrada had lost only to Gonzalez in the past 6½ years. Gonzalez edged Estrada to win a unanimous decision in their 12-round fight for the WBA light flyweight title in November 2012.
Perhaps sensing he needed a knockout, Estrada pressed Sor Rungvisai throughout the 12th round. Both boxers landed numerous power punches to the head and body in those action-packed three minutes, when Sor Rungvisai appeared to tire.
Sor Rungvisai continued to touch Estrada with his straight left in the 11th round. Estrada kept coming forward, though, and landed two solid shots to the body that set up a straight right to Sor Rungvisai's head.
The ninth round featured several vicious exchanges, but neither fighter appeared affected by the flush shots his opponent landed.
Sor Rungvisai tripped Estrada, who went to the canvas with 1:48 to go in the eighth round. Once Estrada got up, he landed several right hands.
Sor Rungvisai rallied later in the eighth by drilling Estrada with multiple straight left hands.
Estrada connected with a hard right hand in the seventh round, only to have Sor Rungvisai fire right back with a straight left that backed up Estrada.
Reiss warned Estrada early in the sixth round for hitting Sor Rungvisai low. Late in the fifth, Reiss admonished Estrada for shoving Sor Rungvisai to the canvas.
Sor Rungvisai consistently connected with his straight left hand during the final minute of the fifth round. Estrada countered with two right hands late in the fifth.
Both of Sor Rungvisai's gloves touched the canvas 32 seconds into the fifth round, but Reiss ruled that Estrada pushed him down.
Sor Rungvisai clocked Estrada with a right hand and then landed two short left hands, all during the final 10 seconds of the fourth round.
After taking some hard shots in the second round, Sor Rungvisai landed several flush lefts of his own in the third round. Estrada's most successful sequence of the third came when he landed a short right hand and then stung Sor Rungvisai with a left uppercut.
Sor Rungvisai went down to one knee with 25 seconds to go in the second round, but that trip to the canvas seemed to be caused by an accidental clash of heads. Reiss rightly didn't count it as a knockdown.
Estrada connected with multiple right hands over the final 20 seconds of the second round.
Sor Rungvisai's fast hands served him well during the first round, when he let his left hand go and kept Estrada at a distance.

Kiera Malone lost her fiancée right before their wedding day. It took her a long time to trust another man after her husband walked out on her and their 3 children when they were young. She found happiness and ready to build a life with Peter until his untimely demise.
Now, her daughter Moira O'Brien talks her into leaving Ireland and coming to Chesapeake Shores, MD to help run her son-in-law Luke's pub and to spend time with her granddaughter. It's only to be for 6 months so Kiera agrees and finds she loves living in the quaint seaside town and her large extended family.
Her one problem is Bryan Laramie, the pub's cook. From the first meeting, Kiera and he clash like oil and water. He's afraid she's trying to usurp his position. Kiera, known to speak her mind, makes him uncomfortable and causes sparks to fly between them.
Everyone in the close-knit town wants Kiera to remain permanently, especially her father with whom she's been estranged for many years. They all enjoy meddling in other's love lives and feel the electricity between Bryan and Kiera are not just personality clashes, but they also sense a strong attraction.
Kiera is still fragile after losing Peter and the heartache she suffered from her husband. Bryan, a loner, has a sorrowful past of his own to deal with. But with meddlesome relatives and a town that captures her heart, will Kiera fall under the spell of both this local and Bryan? This addition to Ms. Wood's Chesapeake Series shows family closeness and... loving interference proves it is never too old to find love.

After thanking those who testified at today?s New Jersey Casino Revenue Fund Advisory Commission public hearing, State Senator Tom Kean, Jr. (R-21) and Assemblyman Vince Polistina (R-2) said the key to making lives for senior citizens better in New Jersey is a robust casino industry.
?As we heard from person after person, New Jersey?s programs to assist seniors citizens and the disabled are vital to their quality of life,? Kean said. ?The Legislature has a fundamental responsibility to keep programs like prescription drug assistance, transportation aid, and home delivered meals are well funded and accessible for the elderly and infirm.?
?The personal experiences people shared with the commission this morning drives home the importance of these services,? Polistina said. ?Of course, New Jersey would not be able to provide them any of these services without the revenue generated by the casinos.?
The legislators, both members of the commission, emphasized that state government must become more business friendly to encourage continued growth in Atlantic City.
?The casino industry generates revenue for programs that aid the most vulnerable in our society. It also is vital to the future of Atlantic City,? Kean said. ?The residents of this state appreciate the contribution to our society, and want casinos to continue to generate revenue and jobs.?
The New Jersey Casino Revenue Fund Advisory Commission reviews programs funded by the Casino Revenue Fund and makes recommendations concerning the expenditures from the fund. One recommendation the legislators would like to see enacted soon is A-2046, which would increase the annual appropriation requirement for the Senior Citizen and Disabled Resident Transportation Program from 7.5 percent to 8.5 percent of the revenues deposited in the Casino Revenue Fund.
?A small one percent increase in the formula will make a big difference to the thousands of seniors and disabled who rely on buses and rail to get to doctor?s appointments or to nutrition sites,? Polistina said. ?The bill has no impact on the general budget. It just expands the amount coming from an existing fund, so I think the Legislature can and should move forward on it.?

- Keeping Friends Close, but Enemies Closer: Foreign Aid Responses to Natural Disasters – with Cindy Cheng. Revise and Resubmit at British Journal of Political Science.
Despite a robust body of evidence that suggests that aid donors are largely motivated by strategic considerations when dispensing aid, anecdotal evidence suggests that countries often receive substantial humanitarian aid following natural disasters, even from strategic opponents. In this paper, we square this seeming incongruity by arguing that natural disasters can serve to, at least temporarily, emphasize the humanitarian, as opposed to the political or economic, aspects of a bilateral relationship. We argue that natural disaster severity increases the likelihood of donors giving humanitarian aid to strategic adversaries in the short term. However, we find that in the long-term, donors are still more likely to pursue strategic self-interest by increasing civil society aid to strategic adversaries following a natural disaster. We test our findings using a new measure of strategic interest which we argue improves upon existing measures by accounting for third-order dependencies in dyadic data. Our findings suggest that social context matters in short-term humanitarian aid allocation. They also have important implications for the future of foreign aid allocations more generally, as the number of natural disasters is likely to rise, not fall, with changing climate conditions.
- Measuring Influence in Tensors of Conflict – with Peter D. Hoff and Michael D. Ward.
Measuring influence and determining what drives it are persistent questions in political science and in network analysis more generally. Herein we focus on the domain of international relations. Our major substantive question is: How can we determine what characteristics make an actor influential? To address the topic of influence, we build on a multilinear tensor regression framework (MLTR) that captures influence relationships using a tensor generalization of a vector autoregression model. Influence relationships in that approach are captured in a pair of n x n matrices and provide measurements of how the network actions of one actor may influence the future actions of another. A limitation of the MLTR and earlier latent space approaches is that there are no direct mechanisms through which to explain why a certain actor is more or less influential than others. Our new framework, social influence regression, provides a way to statistically model the influence of one actor on another as a function of characteristics of the actors. Thus we can move beyond just estimating that an actor influences another to understanding why. To highlight the utility of this approach, we apply it to studying monthly-level conflictual events between countries as measured through the Integrated Crisis Early Warning System (ICEWS) event data project.
- A Latent Factor Approach to Measuring State Preferences – with Max Gallop.
State preferences play an important, yet under discussed role in international politics. This is in large part because actually observing and measuring these preferences is impossible. In general, scholars have tried to infer preferences using either UN voting or alliance behavior. The two most notable measures of state preferences that have flowed from this research area are ideal point (Bailey et al., 2015) and S Scores (Signorino & Ritter, 1999). The basis of both these models is a spatial weighting scheme that has proven useful but discounts higher-order effects that might be present in relational data structures such as UN voting and alliances. We begin by arguing that both alliances and UN voting are simply examples of the multiple layers upon which states interact with one another. To estimate a measure of state preferences from this multilayer structure, we introduce a latent factor model that provides a reduced-rank approximation of the main patterns across the layers. Our new measure of preferences plausibly describes important state relations, and yields important insights on the relationship between preferences, democracy, and international conflict. Most importantly, a model of conflict that uses this measure of state preferences decisively outperforms models using extant measures when it comes to predicting conflict in an out of sample context.
- Diffusion of Antitrust Laws in Open Economies – with Tim Büthe.
Antitrust law seeks to prevent the accumulation and abuse of market power by prohibiting cartels, bid-rigging, and similar anticompetitive behavior. A deliberately pro-market policy, antitrust has been shown to result in lower prices, more innovation, and greater efficiency. Antitrust enforcement, however, is inherently political - and has the potential for abuse - in that it entails the use of state power to constrain and possibly redistribute private economic power. Until 1990, antitrust was virtually entirely the domain of advanced capitalist democracies with strong rule-of-law traditions and professional public bureaucracies. Since then, the number of jurisdictions with antitrust laws has grown rapidly, from some thirty to more than one-hundred-and-thirty today. Most of the existing literature on this strikingly rapid diffusion has focused on the domestic conditions that are conducive to the adoption of such laws, such as political and economic liberalization. Even the few papers that consider factors such as international trade or World Bank advocacy of antitrust law adoption, model the enactment of antitrust laws as an independent decision for each country. Such models fail to capture causally important aspects of the way in which antitrust has diffused through the international political-economic system due to interdependencies in state decision-making. To analyze the global diffusion of antitrust empirically, we use an original dataset on not only when states adopted antitrust laws but also their content. This allows us to assess various mechanisms through which antitrust provisions diffuse across borders using an event history framework with spatial lags.

- 1 Security
- 2 Troubleshooting
- 2.1 I have Postfix on my system but no "mail" command. How can I get e-mail notifications?
- 2.2 Why do my CVS users using SSH getting blocked?
- 2.3 I get the error "Please check the format and your locale settings"
- 2.4 How do I increase verbosity?
- 2.5 Fail2ban is running but not banning SSH bruteforce
What do I have to consider when using Fail2ban?
Especially on systems which provide SSH/CGI/PHP services to unknown users, it is possible to block other users from ssh and probably other services. How would a user do so? The user could issue:
logger -p auth.warning -t 'sshd[123]' 'Illegal user user1 from 220.127.116.11'
Or the malicious user may write via PHP's openlog()/syslog() to syslog.
Solution #1: This security hazard can be handled via ownership/permissions of /dev/log, which allows logging to all the users by default. Just add a group log, add all daemons and root to that group and be happy.
What about log injection?
Fail2ban parses log files of other services and thus it can be vulnerable to log injection. Daniel B. Cid describes this kind of issues in Attacking Log analysis tools. I strongly suggest that you read this article. We will always try to provide safe configuration files. However, you can use fail2ban-regex to test your configuration files against forged log lines.
I have Postfix on my system but no "mail" command. How can I get e-mail notifications?
As of version 0.8.1, "mail" actions are deprecated. Please use the "sendmail" ones instead. E.g. sendmail-whois instead of mail-whois in your jail.[conf|local].
You probably have the sendmail command. Copy /etc/fail2ban/action.d/mail-whois.conf to /etc/fail2ban/action.d/mail-whois.local, edit this file and replace mail with sendmail. Here is an example:
actionban = echo -en "From:root <fail2ban> To: <dest> Subject: [Fail2Ban] <name>: banned <ip> Hi,\n The IP <ip> has just been banned by Fail2Ban after <failures> attempts against <name>.\n\n Here are more information about <ip>:\n `whois <ip>`\n Regards,\n Fail2Ban"|sendmail -t
mail.conf can be modified too.
Why do my CVS users using SSH getting blocked?
If you are using the Eclipse CVS integration with SSH, then each access of the CVS results in a failed access before a valid one is done. As a consequence your CVS users get banned from time to time.
I get the error "Please check the format and your locale settings"
The error looks like this:
ERROR: time data did not match format: data=Mar 21 10:00:50 fmt=%b %d %H:%M:%S ERROR: Please check the format and your locale settings.
This is a known bug. Since 0.6.1, Fail2ban uses your locale settings for date and time format. However, some daemons do not take care of locale and write their log messages using the POSIX standard. Please look at this bug for more details.
You can try to override the LANG variable:
# LANG=en_US /etc/init.d/fail2ban restart
You can get all the available locale with:
# locale -a
How do I increase verbosity?
In order to increase the verbosity of Fail2ban, use the command line option -vvv for fail2ban-client and fail2ban (only for 0.6.x). Set loglevel to 4 in /etc/fail2ban/fail2ban.conf (only for > 0.6.x).
Fail2ban is running but not banning SSH bruteforce
NB:This example is based on a Debian system, but can be easily done on any distro.
The package is well installed:
# dpkg -l |grep fail ii fail2ban 0.8.1-2 bans IPs that cause multiple authentication
The service is running:
# /etc/init.d/fail2ban status Status of authentication failure monitor: fail2ban is running
SSH jail is set up and ready:
# fail2ban-client status Status |- Number of jail: 1 `- Jail list: ssh
SSH bruteforce logs are identified by fail2ban:
# fail2ban-regex /var/log/auth.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/sshd.conf .... Success, the total number of match is 30
So, check that all your logs are synchronized: all logs files (auth.log, syslog,..) must use the same time reference (if your server is not very busy, there will probably be an important difference between the output of [1]date command and the last event logged in syslog. You can force to generate a log in syslog using the logger command and check then with the output of date command)
# date Wed Nov 28 13:49:02 CET 2007 # tail -2 /var/log/auth.log Nov 28 13:39:12 <SERVERNAME> sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user roo t by <user>(uid=0) Nov 28 13:39:12 <SERVERNAME> sudo: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user roo t
If time reference is not the same everywhere, then fail2ban won't ban any IP!

"This is quite surprising and deplorable that the people of land mafia are grabbing the property of the Edhi Foundation," he said and asked where is the administration and what they are doing?

"It is our responsibility to remain in touch with them so that they keep their service continue and improve them further," he said.
Murad orders provision of space for Edhi center in Thatta
The Sindh CM also directed Commissioner Hyderabad to make necessary arrangements for provision of office space for Edhi Foundation in Thatta so that they could continue unhindered welfare service there.
He said that Edhi was doing a great service to humanity and nobody would be allowed to grab their property or disturb their welfare services.

Legal Interoperability of Research Data: Principles and Implementation Guidelines
Date: Sep 9, 2016
The CODATA-RDA Legal Interoperability Interest Group has studied the issues related to the intellectual property of data: the resulting outcome is a set of principles and practical implementation guidelines. They are offered as high-level guidance to all members of the research community—the funders, managers of data centers, librarians, archivists, publishers, policymakers, university administrators, individual researchers, and their legal counsel—who are engaged in activities that involve the access to and reuse of research data from diverse sources. The Principles are synergistic, so their greatest benefit is realized when they are considered together.
The following Principles on the Legal Interoperability of Research Data focus on all types of data that are used primarily in publicly funded research in government and academia:
- One: Facilitate the lawful access to and reuse of research data.
- Two: Determine the rights to and responsibilities for the data.
- Three: Balance the legal interests.
- Four: State the rights transparently and clearly.
- Five: Promote the harmonization of rights in research data.
- Six: Provide proper attribution and credit for research data.
The Implementation Guidelines will be discussed and considered for adoption by the CODATA and RDA communities in sessions at SciDataCon <www.scidatacon.org/2016/> and the RDA Plenary https://rd-alliance.org/plenaries/rda-eighth-plenary-meeting-denver-co
Any final comments and suggestions for improvements (not wholesale revision) may be made by 23 September, after which a final version will be published.

It has been a long week of sub-zero temperatures. The cold snap came so quick that we were unprepared and had not treated our diesel fuel with additives to stop the fuel from gelling. Then it seemed to want to snow everyday and the wind blow. So every morning the trail to the sheep and cows had to be a new trail, because yesterdays trail had blown in over night. Each time it blows in the snow blows in harder than it was.
Now it has warmed up and the tractors are running again and the fuel is treated so all is well. The cows are enjoying the warmer weather. Here the cows are lined up with their bodies flat to sun to catch the maximum amount of warmth from the rays of the sun.
The snow is fairly deep in places and places it has mostly blown clear. The cows are still grazing through the snow. They are still getting their 2 pounds of grain cake every day to supplement the dry grass.
Here they dig through the snow to get at the grass to graze.
Then the other day we turned out 29 head of Rambouillet bucks out with the ewes . We should have plenty of buck power so now we should get white faced lambs next spring. We started feeding the ewes some hay along with their grain cubes. We need to keep them in breeding shape.
Last night I had to help Santa Claus a little. I needed to stand in for him at the Atall school program. There was quite a crowd of parents and grand-parents and other to watch.
