File Transfer Definitions
As with all products and solutions of a technical nature, the terms and abbreviations used to describe different technologies and processes can sometimes be a little confusing to say the least. Our file transfer definitions section aims to explain some of the more common terms and abbreviations that you may come across when browsing our website.
Ad Hoc File Transfer
The term "ad hoc" or "person to person" file transfer is better described as someone wanting to send a file to another person, generally on a 'one-off' basis.
To elaborate, lets set the scene. It's 5.30 pm on a Friday afternoon. You have been working on a really important proposal for a new client that's due for submission and you just HAVE to send it now. It could be that the file is too large for your email server to process as an attachment or that its super sensitive and you need visibility of receipt by your client rather than the send and forget approach of email. What do you do?
Its in scenarios such as this where ad hoc file transfer comes into it's own. It offers businesses a quick and simple means of sending large or sensitive files minus the hassle of creating and managing end user accounts on FTP servers or stressing about whether it got there via email.
An ad hoc file transfer solution will quite simply allow you to create a single job, enter the email address of your recipient and press send. That's it. No further details concerning your recipient are required and all they need in order to receive the file is a standard email account.
Ad Hoc file transfer typically is implemented by businesses that need to gain greater visibility of files leaving and entering the organisation. More often than not these days they're implement to replace consumer grade solutions like Dropbox or other cloud based systems.
Do you have a requirement to send large or sensitive files on an ad hoc basis? If so and you'd like to find out more about the ad hoc file transfer solutions supplied by Pro2col, please don't hesitate to contact us on 0333 123 1240.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is an encryption algorithm or standard used to secure sensitive data. AES is a symmetric block cipher that encrypts (enciphers) and decrypts (deciphers) electronic information.
Evaluated and initiated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, AES was adopted by the US government in 2002. It is one of the most popular algorithms used in symmetric key cryptography since it became a replacement for DES (Data Encryption Standard).
AES comprises of 3 block ciphers and currently supports 128, 192 and 256-bit keys and encryption blocks, but may be extended in multiples of 32 bits.
Automated File transfer
Data Protection Act
The Data Protection Act of 1998 was brought into force on March 1st 2000. Introduced to give UK citizens the right to access personal information held by 'data controllers' (any individual within an organisation handling personal data) within the United Kingdom, the Data Protection Act also details principles concerning the way in which this sensitive data is managed.
There are eight core principles covered under the Data Protection Act. These are as follows:
- Personal data should be processed fairly and lawfully.
- Data should only be obtained for specified purposes and should not be further processed in a manner incompatible with these purposes.
- Personal data should be adequate relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were collected.
- Personal data should be accurate and where necessary kept up to date.
- Personal data should not be kept longer than is needed for its intended purpose.
- Personal data should be processed in accordance with the rights of the individual, which the information concerns.
- Appropriate measures should be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing or destruction of personal data.
- Personal data should not be transferred outside the European Economic Area (the EU states plus Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway).
The principle outlined within the Data Protection Act, applicable to the implementation of secure file transfer provisions is the seventh principle. This states that;
"Having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures, the measures MUST ensure a level of security appropriate to – the harm that might result from such unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage as are mentioned in the seventh principle AND the nature of the data protected."
Therefore all organisations, as governed by UK law, must ensure that adequate safeguards are in place regarding the storage and processing of personal data.
Our specialists at Pro2col can help you to source and implement a secure file transfer solution to suit your business requirements and align the processing of data, in accordance with The Data Protection Act. Please contact us on 0333 123 1240 for more information.
Data Controller
This is the individual within an organisation who is responsible for the data. The data controller defines the data collected and the reasons for processing
Data Portability
Under GDPR, individuals have the right to have their personal data transferred to another system or organisation
Data Processor
Someone who processes data on behalf of the Data Controller.
Data Protection by Design & by Default
This is an overarching principle of GDPR. It means building data protection into business processes, products and services from the outset.
Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)
This is a document that describes the nature of the data, the purpose of the transfer, how it is performed and the security configuration. A DPIA is a key requirement of GDPR.
Data Subject
This is the individual that the data is about.
Extreme File Transfer
Here at Pro2col we're increasingly being asked by our clients to help them move large data sets. The amount of data as everyone knows is increasing in size, as are file sizes. It is now common in our discussions to talk about files of many Gigabytes in size. The challenge this presents however is how to move the data from point A to B as invariably we're finding that companies are needing to move these volumes of data halfway around the world. Welcome to Extreme File Transfer! Extreme file transfer is an expression which has become more widely adopted in recent times, but what does it mean? IDC describes it as;
"Extreme file transfer requirements come from the need to solve problems around file size. In this case, the file may simply be too big and the target too far away to reliably deliver over TCP/IP because of shortcomings in this networking protocol. In other cases, there is a problem delivering a file within an allowed time window, and therefore, there is a need to find an alternative approach." ["IDC competitive review of MFT Software" October 2010]
IDC pretty much hits the nail on the head here, although I'd place a little more emphasis on the infrastructure over which extreme file transfer takes place. The efficiency of TCP based file transfer protocols such as FTP reduce dramatically when the round trip time between client and server increases due to latency. The result is an increase in packet loss and rapidly decreasing throughput. For file based workflows there are some great solutions available which addresses these issues. Vendors have taken various approaches such as breaking files into smaller bits, using hardware acceleration, compression, synchronisation, shipping a HDD but the most effective are those that utilise a variation of the UDP protocol. UDP itself isn't a very successful protocol but when some controls are added it becomes the most effective way of moving extremely large files over extremely challenging connections. These re-engineered protocols form the cornerstone of the Extreme File Transfer solutions. The vendors in this space have designed their solutions to enable the use of the extreme file transfer protocol for these typical business requirements:
- Disaster recovery and business continuity
- Content distribution and collection, e.g., software or source code updates, or CDN scenarios
- Continuous sync – near real time syncing for 'active-active' style HA
- Supports master slave basic replication, but also more complex bi-directional sync and mesh scenarios
- Person to person distribution of digital assets
- Collaboration and exchange for geographically-distributed teams
- File based review, approval and quality assurance workflows
If your business needs to transfer extremely large files or volumes of data speak to our team of expert consultants. As independent file transfer specialists since 2003 we're able to provide an objective vendor agnostic view to finding the right solution for your file transfer needs.

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are a series of standards, outlining the requirements that IT products must satisfy, to be acceptable for use by US Federal government agencies and contractors. Developed by the National Institute of Standards for Technology (NIST), the process of FIPS validation ensures that technology products are rigorously tested and deemed sufficiently secure enough to deal with sensitive data.
There are a number of different FIPS standards including 186-2 – Digital Signature Standard, 190 – Guideline For The Use Of Advanced Authentication Technology Alternatives, 197 – AES etc. but by far the most significant standard in terms of secure data transfer is FIPS 140:
FIPS 140 defines the requirements and standards that must be met by cryptographic modules (components) used in computer hardware and software solutions. As IT solutions are used in different departments and environments, the scope of cryptographic requirements imposed by FIPS has been broken down into eleven distinct areas and four increasing, qualitative security levels. They are as follows:
- Cryptographic module specification (what must be documented).
- Cryptographic module ports and interfaces (what information flows in and out, and how it must be segregated).
- Roles, services and authentication (who can do what with the module, and how this is checked).
- Finite state model (documentation of the high-level states the module can be in, and how transitions occur).
- Physical security (tamper evidence and resistance, and robustness against extreme environmental conditions).
- Operational environment (what sort of operating system the module uses and is used by).
- Cryptographic key management (generation, entry, output, storage and destruction of keys).
- EMI/EMC (electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility).
- Self-tests (what must be tested and when, and what must be done if a test fails).
- Design assurance (what documentation must be provided to demonstrate that the module has been well designed and implemented).
- Mitigation of other attacks (if a module is designed to mitigate against, specific attacks then its documentation must say how).
If you are purchasing a FIPS accredited solution, you can rest assured the product has been rigorously tested and is physically secure enough to protect your sensitive data.
Our specialists at Pro2col can help you to source and implement a FIPS accredited, secure file transfer solution to suit your business requirements. Please contact Pro2col on 0333 123 1240 for more information.
FTP File Transfer
The FTP File Transfer Protocol is a method used to transfer files from one computer to another through a network whether thats an internal network (from one computer to another within the same network) or more commonly a Wide Area Network such as the Internet.
An FTP site is a server, hosted on the Internet and used as an exchange area for uploading and downloading files to and from. FTP sites are accessed using a software program known as an FTP Client. All FTP sites will have a hostname and this, along with a username and password assigned to you by the FTP site administrator, will be required to connect the FTP client to the site.
Once connected to the FTP Site, the FTP Client allows the user to browse through files and folders on both their personal computer and the FTP site. Files can then be selected and either uploaded to the FTP site or downloaded from the FTP site.
FTP is not a particularly simple file transfer protocol to use and has a number of drawbacks such as high latency (slow), a lack of reporting and no real security of data but it is still widely used as it is a cheap, often free solution.
Pro2col offers a wide range of secure FTP alternative solutions – please contact us on 0333 123 1240 if you would like to find out more.
FTPS File Transfer
FTPS File Transfer, FTP Secure or FTP-SSL as it can be referred to, is a secure means of sending data over a network. Often misidentified as SFTP (an independent communications protocol in its own right), FTPS describes the sending of data using basic FTP run over a cryptographic protocol such as SSL (Secure Socket Layers) or TLS (Transport Layer Security).
Cryptographic protocols ensure that sections of the connection established between a client and server are encrypted, thus maintaining the security and integrity of the data sent. They similarly use a public/private key authentication system to encrypt data before it is sent and decrypt it once it has been received. Therefore if the data stream were interrupted during transmission, any documents in transit would be illegible to hackers or eavesdroppers.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The new EU regulation for handling personal data – in place from 25th May 2018.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLBA)
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, also known as The Financial Modernisation Act, details regulations that financial institutions must be adhered to, in order to protect consumers' financial information. The GLBA law governs all financial institutions that hold what is classed as 'personal data' including, insurance companies, security firms, banks, credit unions and retailers providing credit facilities.
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Rules and Provisions
The privacy requirements set out in GLBA are broken down into three distinct elements; the Financial Privacy Rule, Safeguards Rule and Pretexting Provisions.
The Financial Privacy Rule – Governs the collection of consumer's private financial data by financial institutions, also including companies that deal which such information. It requires all financial institutions to provide privacy notices to their customers prior to the establishment of a relationship. Such privacy notices should also detail the institutions' information sharing practices and give consumers the right to limit the sharing of their information in certain instances.
The Safeguards Rule – requires all financial institutions to record and implement a security plan that protects the confidentiality of their customer's personal data.
The Pretexting Provisions – Pretexting refers to the use of unsolicited means, in order to gain access to non-public, personal information e.g. impersonating an account holder on the phone to obtain personal details. GLBA requires those governed by the law, to implement adequate provisions to safeguard against Pretexting.
What are the implications of Gramm-Leach-Bliley in terms of file transfer?
In order to comply with GLBA when transferring sensitive data, financial institutions must ensure that they;
- Prevent the transmission and delivery of files and documents containing non-public personal information to unauthorised recipients.
- Document delivery and receipt is enforced through enterprise-defined policies.
- Provide detailed logs and audit trails of content access, authorisation, and used.
Our specialists at Pro2col can help you to source and implement a GLBA compliant, secure file transfer solution to suit your business requirements. Please contact Pro2col on 0333 123 1240 for more information.
HTTP File Transfer
HTTP File Transfer (Hypertext File Transfer Protocol) is a set of rules for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP defines how messages are formatted and sent, as well as the actions web servers and browsers should take in response to commands.
A browser is used to send an HTTP command to a web server and establish a TCP connection (Transmission Control Protocol). The web server then sends HTML pages back to the user's browser these are what we would refer to as webpages. For example, when you enter a URL in a web browser, this actually sends a HTTP command to the web server, instructing it to fetch and transmit the requested webpage.
HTTP file transfer can also be used to send files from a web server to a web browser (or to any other requesting application that uses HTTP). It is referred to as a stateless protocol as each command is independent of another. The connection established between the browser and the web server is closed as soon as the web server responds to the initial command. In contrast, FTP is a two-way file transfer protocol. Once a connection is established between a workstation and a file server, files can be transferred back and fourth between the two entities.

Guide to Ad Hoc File Transfer
HTTPS File Transfer
HTTPS file transfer describes the combination of HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and a secure protocol such as SSL or Transport Layer Security (TLS). It is used to send sensitive data over unsecured networks, for example the Internet.
These individual protocols operate on different levels of the 'network layer', derived from the TCP/IP model to create HTTPS. The HTTP protocol operates at the highest level of the TCP/IP model (the application level) and is used to format and send data, whereas SSL works at a slightly lower level (in between the application layer and the transport layer), securing the connection over which data will be sent.
HTTPS file transfer is the primary file transfer protocol used to secure online transactions. By default this protocol uses port 443 as opposed to the standard HTTP port of 80. URL's beginning with HTTPS, indicate that the connection between client and browser is encrypted using SSL.

Internet Protocol Suite
The Internet Protocol Suite is a term used to describe the set of communication protocols, developed individually by the IT community, for sending data over computer networks such as the Internet. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol) were the first two protocols included in the Internet Protocol Suite and are the basis from which the term originated.
Sometimes referred to as TCP/IP, The Internet Protocol Suite as a whole consists of a number of internet working protocols that operate in a 'network layer'. Each of these layers are designed to solve a specific issue affecting the transmission of data. Higher layers are closer to the user and deal with more abstract data, relying on lower layers to convert data into forms that can be physically manipulated for transmission.
To elaborate, please refer to table (1a), which breaks down the layers included in TCP/IP suite and explains each layer's function and possible protocols that can be used to fulfill these functions.

Guide to Ad Hoc File Transfer
ISO 27001 is an Information Security Management Standard (ISMS), published in October 2005 by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Essentially an updated version of the old BS7799-2 standard, ISO 27001 provides a model for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving a documented Information Security Management System within an organisation. Taking into consideration a specific organisation's overall perceived risk, it details requirements for the implementation of security controls, suited to the needs of individual businesses.
Many organisations will have information security controls in place, but what many are lacking (and what ISO 27001 covers) is the need for a management approach to these controls.
ISO 27001 Standards
The ISO 27001 standard is an optional certification that provides a structured approach when implementing an Information Management System. If an organisation takes the decision to adopt this standard, the specific requirements stipulated by ISO 27001 must be followed, as auditing and compliance checks will be made.
ISO 27001 requires that management within the organisation must:
- Systematically assess the organisation's information security risks, taking account of the threats, vulnerabilities and impacts.
- Design and implement a coherent and comprehensive suite of information security controls and/or other forms of risk treatment (such as risk avoidance or risk transfer) to address those risks that it deems unacceptable.
- Adopt an all-encompassing management process to ensure that the information security controls continue to meet the organisation's information security needs on an ongoing basis.
What are the implications of ISO 27001 in terms of file transfer?
If your organisation has adopted the ISO 27001 Information Security Management standard, you must ensure that any file transfer solution purchased, will adhere to your implemented IMS.
Our specialists at Pro2col can help you to source and implement a ISO 27001 certified, secure file transfer solution to suit your business requirements. Please contact Pro2col on 0333 123 1240 for more information.
LAN (Local Area Network)
LAN is the abbreviation used to describe a Local Area Network. The term "Local Area Network" refers to a computer network that covers a small physical area, usually confined to one building or a small group of buildings e.g. a home network or a business network.
A LAN is usually implemented to connect local workstations, servers and devices. This enables documents held on individual computers and servers to be accessed by any workstation within the LAN network. It also allows devices such as printers to be shared between workstations.
As a LAN includes a group of devices within a close proximity, they are usually able to transmit data at a fast rate as compared to Wide Area Networks. They are also relatively inexpensive to set-up as they use hardware such as Ethernet cables, network adaptors and hubs.
The term latency is an expression for the period of time taken to send a data packet from a source to the intended destination, the higher the latency the slower the data transmission. This incorporates all elements of the file sending process – including encoding, transmission, and decoding.
Certain delivery protocols such as FTP are particularly susceptible to latency. When sending packets of data to the remote site the sending site waits for an acknowledgment that the packet has been received before sending the next one, thus making the problem extremely time consuming in the event of high latency. In extreme cases of latency the time that it takes for the delivery of data and then listening out for the reply can result in the data throughput levels dropping to an significantly low level rendering the solution useless.
There are several ways to combat this, one being to utilise a multi-threaded TCP protocol – working in the same manner as above just that many other packet transfer requests are made increasing the throughput. Another increasingly popular route is to adopt a UDP based delivery protocol which adopts a send and forget mentality i.e. not waiting for the acknowledgement receipt. This can significantly speed up the delivery process but other features are required, as UDP out of the box won't work for everyone.
Network tools like ping tests and traceroute measure latency by determining the time it takes a given network packet to travel from source to destination and back, the so-called round-trip time. Round-trip time is not the only way to specify latency, but it is the most common. To test the latency on your Internet connection between 100's of test servers go to Speedtest.net where you can test your bandwidth and latency against a local (london) server against say one in Bangkok. On DSL or cable Internet connections, latencies of less than 100 milliseconds (ms) are typical and less than 25 ms desired. Satellite Internet connections, on the other hand, average 500 ms or higher latency.
If you suffer from latency problems when it comes to file transfer, please contact Pro2col on 0333 123 1240 for more information on how you can combat this problem.
Leased Line
A leased line is a dedicated, communications line set up between 2 end points by a telecommunications specialist. Not physical in nature, leased lines are in reality a reserved circuit and do not have a telephone number, each side of the circuit being permanently connected to the other.
Leased lines can be used for telephone communications, sending data as well as Internet services, and provide a much higher bandwidth than existing lines offered by Internet Service Providers.
The main advantage associated with leased lines is the increased bandwidth they provide. As they are sole, dedicated lines any congestion that occurs in shared lines is eliminated therefore the speed of communication (latency) is greatly increased. These lines are usually purchased by large organisations that regularly use the Internet and wish to obtain a faster, more reliable Internet connection.
If you are experiencing slow file transfer speeds, then contact Pro2col on 0333 123 1240 to find out more about how this issue can be resolved.
Managed File Transfer
Managed file transfer is an industry term used to describe a hardware or software solution that facilitates the movement of large files both inside and outside of the business, whilst maintaining the security and integrity of sensitive data. Although many managed file transfer solutions are built using the FTP file transfer protocol, the phrase was coined to illustrate those solutions that have progressed and developed, to address the disadvantages associated with basic FTP for large file transfer.
A solution classed as providing 'managed file transfer' should possess value added features such as reporting (e.g. notification of successful file transfers), increased security and greater control of the file transfer process. These solutions enable organisations to automate, self-manage and secure the transfer of files between each other. As companies expand the need to transfer files between locations increases, these features are invaluable to enterprises responsible for sensitive customer data.
The development of managed file transfer solutions has had an enormous positive impact on businesses processes. File transfer accounts for a significant percentage of man-hours in a number of market sectors, spent sending and monitoring transmissions. Managed file transfer eliminates the need for manual processes as these file transfer solutions are designed specifically to do the job for you.

Network Layer
The concept of a network layer or 'layered network', was developed to account for the rapid changes that occur in technology. This concept allowed for the inclusion of newly developed protocols to work alongside one another to achieve a specified task, for example a secure file transfer.
The Higher layers of a network are closer to the user and deal with more abstract data, relying on lower layers to convert data into forms that can be physically manipulated for transmission.
The separate network layers are designed to perform a specific task, each layer passing information up and down to the next subsequent layer as data is processed.
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
The PCI Security Standards Council is an open global forum and was formed in 2006 – the 5 founding global payment brands include:
American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc.
A Global Security Standard, PCI DSS comprises of 12 comprehensive requirements designed to enhance the security of cardholder data. The most poignant of these requirements in terms of large file transfer are:
- Requirement 3: Protect stored cardholder data.
- Requirement 4: Encrypt transmission of cardholder data across open, public networks.
- Requirement 6: Develop and maintain secure systems and applications.
- Requirement 9: Restrict physical access to cardholder data.
- Requirement 10: Track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data.
Companies that do not comply with PCI DSS are liable to incur operational and financial consequences enforced by the individual payment brands. To find out more about how to become PCI Compliant, please click here.
Alternatively, if you'd like to find out more about the secure file transfer solutions in our portfolio that will help you to achieve PCI compliance, please contact Pro2col on 0333 123 1240.
In the world of IT, packet or packets is the term used to describe a unit of data, such as bytes or characters. When sending data over a network, messages or files are broken down into manageable packets before transmission. These packets can also be referred to as a datagram, a segment, a block, a cell or a frame, depending on the protocol used to break it down. Once they have been transmitted, the packets are re-assembled at the receiving end to create the original data file.
The structure of a packet can vary depending on which protocol is used to format it. Typically a packet consists of a header and a payload. The header carries information regarding the reassembly of the packets e.g. where they came from, where they are going to and in what order. The payload refers to the data that it carries.
Personal Data
Personal data means any data that makes a living person identifiable. This could be 'direct', such as their name, or 'indirect'. This is where combined information could identify the person. GDPR refers to special categories or sensitive data. This includes information about racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, details of health, sex life or sexual orientation, email addresses and IP addresses. It also includes genetic data or biometric data for the purpose of identifying someone.
Right to Erasure
Under GDPR, the data subject has the right to request erasure of personal data.
Sarbanes Oxley (SOX)
The Sarbanes Oxley Act is a US federal law, enacted on 30th July 2002, governing financial reporting and accountability processes within public companies. The legislation was brought into force as a safeguard, following a succession of corporate accounting scandals, involving a number of high profile organisations. These companies purposefully manipulated financial statements, costing investors billions of dollars.
Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) contains 11 titles, detailing specific actions and requirements that must be adopted for financial reporting, ranging from corporate board responsibilities to criminal penalties incurred as a consequence of non-compliance. The most significant of these titles in terms of data transfer is section 404.
Sarbanes Oxley Standards
Section 404 states companies governed by SOX are required to:
- Publish information in their annual reports, stating the responsibility of management for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting, detailing the scope and adequacy.
- Include an assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls.
What are the implications of SOX in terms of file transfer?
In order to provide this information and ensure compliance with US law, public accounting companies must implement large file transfer processes that ensure:
- The accurate recording of all financial data, including auditing logs.
- Regulate access to and modification of all financial data by unauthorised users.
- Track activity of data as it crosses application and organisational barriers.
Our specialists at Pro2col can help you to source and implement a SOX compliant secure file transfer solution to suit your business requirements. Please contact us on 0333 123 1240 for more information.
Secure File Transfer
Security is of paramount importance in todays corporate environments, due to the sensitive nature of the information that they hold. Industry standards such as PCI DSS, Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA dictate an organisations responsibility to secure such information and as such, the need for secure file transfer solutions has become a priority.
A number of secure file transfer protocols have been developed over the years as a solution to the issue of data security. As there are several different ways of sending and receiving files e.g. HTTP (via a web browser), FTP (client to server) and Email, there are a variety of security protocols used to secure communication channels. The key secure file transfer protocols include:
- FTPS (FTP run over SSL/TLS)
- SFTP (SSH – Secure Shell protocol)
The FTPS and HTTPS file transfer protocols send files over a TCP connection. This TCP connection has a TLS(transport layer security) or SSL (secure socket layer) security layer that runs beneath the FTP and HTTP protocols. SSL simplified is a protocol that establishes an agreement between a client/browser and a server. The sending side uses a public key to encrypt a data file, which is then sent using either the FTP or HTTP file transfer protocol. The receiving side will have, as part of the agreement, a unique private key that can decrypt the data file.
SFTP is not FTP run over SSH, but rather a stand alone secure file transfer protocol designed from the ground up. The file transfer protocol itself does not provide authentication and security; it expects the underlying protocol (SSH) to secure this. SSH is used to establish a connection between a client and server that acts like an encrypted tunnel. This encrypted tunnel protects any data files that are sent via this secure connection.
If you want to find out more information about secure file transfer solutions, please contact Pro2col on 0333 123 1240.
SFTP File Transfer
SFTP file transfer or the 'SSH file transfer protocol' as it is more formally known, is a network communications protocol used for sending data securely over a network. A common misconception associated with SFTP is that uses FTP run over SSH – this is not the case. SFTP, sometimes referred to as 'secure file transfer protocol', is an independent protocol that has been developed from scratch.
Built to look and feel like FTP due to it's popularity, SFTP was developed as a secure alternative to FTP. Based on the Secure Shell protocol, SFTP encrypts both the data before transmission and the commands (using SSH key-exchange algorithms) between servers. This provides dual protection against eavesdroppers and hackers, ensuring any data sent using this SFTP remains totally secure.
Not only a dedicated file transfer protocol, SFTP enables permission and attribute manipulation, file locking and more functionality. Saying this, a draw back associated with the use of SFTP is the limited number of client applications available that are actually compatible with SFTP servers.

SSH File Transfer
SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol used to establish a secure connection between a client and server. Once a connection has been established, it acts like an encrypted tunnel down which data can be exchanged securely. SSH file transfer is used to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of data communications over insecure networks such as the Internet.
SSH file transfer also provides password authentication using public-key cryptography. This form of cryptography works on a Private Key, Public Key system – the sending side has one of each, as does the receiving side of the transfer. Messages are encrypted with the recipient's public key and can only be decrypted with the corresponding private key.
Originally developed as a replacement for Telnet and other insecure remote shells SSH is used principally on Linux and Unix based systems to access shell accounts.
SSL File Transfer
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a cryptographic protocol used when sending files over TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) networks, for example the Internet. SSL file transfer works by using two keys, a public key that encrypts the data file before it is sent and a private key only known to the server receiving the message, which decrypts the data file, enabling it to be read. These keys are obtained once an SSL certificate has been purchased for the applicable web server, to authenticate and establish an SSL connection between a browser and a web server. This secure connection or encryption system ensures that all data transmitted between the browser and the web server remains private and integral. Even if a third party did obtain the data file, they would not be able to read the information contained within it.
The SSL protocol is independent of the file transfer protocol used to transfer files; therefore it can be used in conjunction with HTTP, FTP, POP and more. It is the standard protocol used when purchasing items online from an ecommerce site and can be identified when in use by observing the web server URL. The URL of a standard web server will start with http://, the URL of a secure web server will start with https://
Subject Access Requests (SARs)
Under GDPR, the data subject has the right to request all personal data a data controller has on them. This includes their supply chain.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is one of the two core protocols used in Data Communications, the second core protocol being IP. Part of the Internet Protocol Suite (often referred to as TCP/IP), TCP is a transport layer responsible for higher-level operations. It provides reliable, ordered delivery of data packets between two locations and can also offer management services such as controlling message size, network congestion and rate of exchange.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
HIPAA is the abbreviation of 'The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act'. It is a US federal law governing the protection and privacy of sensitive, patient health care information. Proposed in 1996 by Congress, HIPAA was finally brought into enforcement by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in 2001.
The objective of HIPAA is to encourage the development of an effective health information system. Likewise, the standards introduced must strike a balance between efficiently transmitting health care data to ensure quality patient care, whilst enforcing all necessary measures to secure personal data. This goal was achieved by establishing a set of standards relating to the movement and disclosure of private health care information.
HIPAA incorporates administrative simplification provisions, designed to help with the implementation of national standards. As such, HIPAA is broken down into 5 core rules and standards. The HHS assigned government bodies, such as the OCR (Office for Civil Rights) and CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) to organise and enforce these rules and standards. The OCR was assigned to administer and enforce the Privacy Rule and more recently, the Security Rule. CMS implements and governs electronic data exchange (EDI) including Transactions and Code Set standards, Employer Identification Standards and the National Identifier Standard.
HIPAA Rules and Standards
Privacy rule: Addresses the appropriate safeguards required to protect the privacy of personal health information. It assigns limits and conditions concerning the use and disclosure of personal information held by healthcare organisations or any other businesses affiliated with these organisations.
Security Rule: The Security Rule complements the Privacy Rule but focuses specifically on Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI). It defines three processes where security safeguards must be implemented to ensure compliance: administrative, physical, and technical.
Transactions and Code Set Standards: In this instance, the term transactions, refers to electronic exchanges involving the transfer of information between two parties. HIPAA requires the implementation of standard transactions for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) of health care data. HIPAA also adopted specific code sets for diagnosis and procedures to be used in all transactions.
Employer Identification Standards: HIPPA requires that employers have standard national numbers that identify them on all transactions – The Employer Identification Number (EIN)).
National Identification Standards: All healthcare organisations that qualify under HIPAA legislation, using electronic communications must use a single identification number (NPI) on all transactions.
What are the implications of HIPAA in terms of file transfer?
To ensure compliance with HIPAA in terms of large file transfer, Healthcare organisations must:
- Protect the privacy of all individually identifiable health information that is stored or transmitted electronically.
- Limit disclosures of protected health information whilst still ensuring efficient, quality patient care.
- Enforce stringent requirements for access to records.
- Implement policies, procedures and technical measures to protect networks, computers and other electronic devices from unauthorised access.
- Effectuate business associate agreements with business partners that safeguard their use and disclosure of PHI.
- Update business systems and technology to ensure they provide adequate protection of patient data.
Our specialists at Pro2col can help you to source and implement a HIPAA compliant, secure file transfer solution to suit your business requirements. Please contact us on 0333 123 1240 for more information.
TLS File Transfer
TLS file transfer (Transport Layer Security) uses a cryptographic protocol used to secure communications over networks such as the Internet. TSL is a more recently developed secure file transfer protocol compared to SSL(Secure Socket Layers) but works upon the same principles as SSL.
The TLS file transfer protocol is made up of two layers. The first, the TLS record protocol encrypts segments of the network connections at the Transport Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite, ensuring any data sent over this connection remains secure.
The second is referred to as the TLS handshake and uses 2 cryptographic keys – a public key that encrypts a data file before it is sent and a private key only known to the server receiving the message, which decrypts a data file, enabling it to be read.
If you refer to the TCP/IP model, the TLS protocol runs somewhere in between the Transport layer and the Application layer and it run independently of any other transport protocols such as FTP or HTTP.
As a somewhat abstract definition, it is crucial to understand the context in which we are using the word 'virtual' before moving onto the definition of virtualisation. The term virtual, in this scenario is defined as "computing not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so".
Virtualization as a concept represents the 'virtual' partitioning or division of a single computing entity and it's resources, whether that entity be a server, application, network, storage or operating system. Alternatively, you can interpret the concept from an almost opposing stand point and view it as multiple computing entities being combined to appear as one logical entity through a virtualisation layer. Consequently, there are many different forms of virtualization; in this instance the focus is server virtualization.
Originally devised by IBM in the 1960's to partition large mainframe hardware – in recent years virtualization technology has been adopted and developed to apply to the now predominant x86 platform. Server virtualization software enables users to virtualise a piece of hardware, including its components i.e. Hard Disk, RAM and CPU. The functionality from each component can then be assigned as desired to run multiple applications, operating systems or appliances on a single piece of hardware in virtual partitions.
There are multiple advantages associated with virtualization. The segregation of expensive computer resources increases efficiency by consolidation – reducing the number of physical servers necessary to support a businesses IT solutions. This can save companies large amounts of money on hardware acquisition as well as rack-space, which comes at a premium. Additional advantages include quick deployment, increased security, centralised management, business continuity and disaster recovery, reduced administration and reduction in energy consumption minimising carbon footprint – just to name a few.
Of course as with any IT solution there are also disadvantages accompanying this technology. For example cost of licencing, user complexity, support compatibility, security management issues and deployment dilemmas (e.g. choosing the right solutions to host in a virtual environment as not all are suitable), but with an experienced IT team leader most of these issues become insignificant.
WAN (Wide Area Network)
A network that spans a wide geographical area is referred to as a WAN (Wide Area Network). A WAN consists of a collection of LAN's (Local Area Networks) connected by a router that maintains both the LAN information and the WAN information. The WAN side of the router will then connect to a communications link such as a leased line (very expensive dedicated line), existing telephone lines or satellite channels.
This form of networking can facilitate communications between computers on opposite sides of the world and the most commonly known WAN in today's society is the Internet. The majority of WANs are not owned by a specific company, e.g. the Internet, but rather exist under collective or distributed ownership and management. Saying this, LANs can be built specifically to enable private communication between different buildings within the same organisation that are remotely situated.

Economist to speak about experiences with Russian farmers
The 68th annual meeting of the Marion County Conservation District is Saturday at Eastmoor United Methodist Church.
Josh Roe, an economist with the Kansas Department of Agriculture, will be the speaker.
A former instructor with Kansas State Research and Extension, he was part of a team of faculty members who received a USDA grant to be host to Russian scholars in Kansas.
The Russians spent two months in Kansas learning about agricultural conservation practices. The Kansas team made two trips to Russia, where they conducted training sessions for Russian farmers and toured crop and livestock operations throughout southeast Russia.
Roe will speak following the 6:30 p.m. meal.

The lack of blood and meat products during Lady Gaga's Grammys number was a bit disappointing, but Cee Lo's performance of "Forget You" made up for it. If you're in the mood for feathers, sequins, mysterious bleeps, and dancing muppets, this is the video for you.
It's a little unclear how Gwyneth Paltrow horned in on the success of this song, but you'll find no Gwynnie hate in this post. She sounded good, looked like she was having fun, and seeing her dance on a piano in six inch heels added a much-needed element of suspense to the show.

John C. Oxley's Uncaptured rallied to the lead on the far turn and gamely fought off a serious challenge from Frac Daddy through the stretch to prove best in Saturday's Grade 2, $177,150 Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs. The Mark Casse-trained colt confirmed his status as an early favorite for the 2013 Run for the Roses, earning 10 points in the new "Road to the Kentucky Derby" series for the gutsy neck score, and Uncaptured swept both graded events at Churchill Downs this fall, posting a 5 1/4-length win in the Grade 3 Iroquois on October 28.
Miguel Mena guided the once-beaten son of Lion Heart, who was eager to run when the gates opened and settled into second under a snug hold as Track Rocker showed the way through an opening quarter-mile in :24 1/5. Frac Daddy raced in a perfect stalking position in third on the outside as the field made their way down the backstretch.
Uncaptured continued in close attendance, ready to pounce, through a half-mile in :49 and the dark bay could wait no longer as they rounded the far turn, forging his to the front with three furlongs remaining. He passed the three-quarters mark in 1:13 4/5, with Frac Daddy steadily gaining behind him, and that rival advanced alongside as they turned into the stretch.
Frac Daddy stuck a head in front as they reached the mile point in 1:38 1/5, but Uncaptured was all heart down on the inside and quickly battled back to even terms. They duked it out all the way to the wire, with Uncaptured surging late to prove best.
"Honestly, at the eighth pole I thought he was beat," Casse said. "Very seldom does a two-year-old get headed, be on the inside and come back and win. He showed his gameness today. Good horses can win, when things don't go perfect."
The final time for 1 1/16 miles was 1:44.97, .02 seconds slower than juvenile counterpart Seaneen Girl, winner of the Grade 2 Golden Rod for fillies two races earlier. Mena rode both Uncaptured and Seaneen Girl.
"It was a big day," Mena exclaimed. "This horse is an amazing horse and the Casse team did an incredible job. He broke good today and Mark told me to get him off the rail because (Mr. Oxley) didn't want us on the rail because he thought it was dead. (Frac Daddy) is a nice horse, too. He came to our outside and put a lot of pressure on us. There was a lot of bumping, but my horse is a very nice horse and he never gave up. He was game all the way down to the wire."
Favored at 9-5, Uncaptured returned $5.60, $3.20 and $2.60. Frac Daddy, the 5-2 second choice among 13 two-year-olds, finished 1 1/4 lengths better than Dewey Square, who got up late to edge Tesseron for third. It was almost another three lengths back to Fear the Kitten in fifth, and Java's War, Positively, Track Rocker, Joha, Silver Tongued, Indiano Jones, Lew and Mike and Will Take Charge completed the final order.
Uncaptured was undefeated in his first four starts, winning three stakes races in a row before a fifth-place finish in the Grade 3 Grey two starts previously, his first attempt at two turns. He rebounded nicely when cutting back to a one-turn mile in the Iroquois and cleared the two-turn hurdle on Saturday, becoming the seventh horse to complete the sweep of Churchill Downs' fall juvenile stakes.
Frac Daddy, who had just broken his maiden by a 9 3/4-length margin at Churchill Downs, lost little in defeat. The runner-up appears to have a bright future for trainer Ken McPeek.
"I really trained him conservatively coming into it," McPeek said. "I could have trained him a little harder and, in hindsight, I think maybe I would have won it. But I'm thrilled with his race. I think if you give him two or three more starts under his belt, I don't think Uncaptured wants anything to do with him."
With the $101,047 payday, Uncaptured has now earned $510,837 from his six-for-seven record. He was bred in Ontario by William D. Graham and sold for $290,000 as a yearling at the 2011 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. His dam is the Arch mare Captivating, making him a half-brother to multiple stakes winner Dancing Raven. Also from his female side of the family is Grade 2 winner Dundalk Dust and Grade 3 scorer Gentleman Beau.
The focus now shifts to the Kentucky Derby.
"That's why you come here, right? To see if your horse likes Churchill Downs," Casse said. "The other positive thing about today was that Todd (Pletcher)'s horse that ran (third) in the Iroquois (Overanalyze) came back and won the (Grade 2) Remsen (at Aqueduct). Our horse showed he's as good as probably anybody. He's definitely going to be champion two-year-old in Canada and I'm hoping this makes him Horse of the Year there."
Uncaptured will be based in south Florida this winter.
"I might give him a little break in Ocala (Florida) and then we'll send him to Palm Meadows," Casse said of his plans.

Belgium is a country in northwest Europe. Founding member of the European Union, it covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres and has a population of about 10.7 million. From the end of the Middle Ages until the 17th century, it was a prosperous centre of commerce and culture. Upon its independence, Belgium eagerly participated in the Industrial Revolution and, at the end of the nineteenth century, possessed several colonies in Africa. Today, Belgium's strongly globalized economy and its transportation infrastructure are integrated with the rest of Europe. Its location at the heart of a highly industrialized region helps made it 2007 the world's 15th largest trading nation. Cultural life is nowadays concentrated within each language community and a variety of barriers have made a shared cultural sphere less pronounced. Anyway, the region corresponding to today's Belgium has seen the flourishing of major artistic movements that have had tremendous influence on European art and culture.

If you're an Angry Birds fan and own a Nokia Lumia 610 we may have some good news for you.
We had heard back in May that Rovio was going work on optimizing Angry Birds for the Lumia 610. While it may have taken six months to accomplish, it is our understanding that Rovio has optimized all versions of the Angry Birds games to work with the RAM memory limits of the Lumia 610.
There was no information available on how soon the Angry Birds titles will become available. We are still seeing Angry Birds as "unavailable for your device" on our Lumia 610 and it still may take some time to see the optimized versions show up in the Store. If you're using a Lumia 610 and are seeing the Rovio titles becoming available, chime in below in the comments.
Now if we can only get the Hoth Chapter for Angry Birds:Star Wars released...

Last week for Valdez Fish Derbies
Competitions is still wide open
Halibut angling continues to be consistent throughout Prince William Sound and charters out of Port Valdez are returning with happy anglers. Donovan Kelly has been working with Lady Luck Charters this year and he said the halibut fishing has been very consistent with lots of halibut between 25 and 35 pounds and generally a couple on each charter between 50 and 70 pounds. Kelly said the lingcod are biting this year and the catch of rockfish has been above average.
"There have been a lot of China rockfish this year." Kelly said. "At least every boat comes in with at least one or two (China rockfish), and in years past they're usually a rare fish."
In addition to China rockfish, Kelly said they are picking up tiger rockfish this year as well. Charters and private boats are heading out to the Gulf, but Kelly said halibut are being found closer to Valdez as well.
Anglers are also heading out in search of silvers, but figuring out where they are and when they are biting is a bit more complex than usual. Silvers have been picked up in the narrows, by Gold Creek and at the Kelsey Dock; Apparently, many cohos apparently didn't get the memo that school is in session. Most anglers are picking up just one fish at a time and have no idea what is really working well. Boaters on Saturday had a surprise awaiting them when they returned to the Valdez small boat harbor with their scant supply of salmon in the hold. People casting lures lined the banks of the harbor and were bringing in silver salmon with a moderate degree of success.
"We're here in the harbor because that's where we heard the fish were," commented Rachelle Feeler of North Pole. "We have fished here six years in a row, but this is our first time trying at the harbor."
This Friday, anglers should be out in full force for "Big Prize Friday." The person catching the largest silver this Friday will win their choice of $500 cash or two round trip tickets between Valdez and Anchorage or Valdez and Fairbanks aboard Era Alaska.
Persistent anglers are taking home daily prizes in the silver derby and the leaders are sizeable in the overall derby. Diana Doodchenko of Canada is still leading the Silver derby with the 17.88 pound silver she caught July 25. Tom Parker of Billings, Montana is currently in second place overall with a 16.70 pound silver; Joel Brown of Valdez is currently in third place overall with a 16.10 pounder he caught August 15. Mike Burke of Henderson, Nevada is leading the halibut derby with the 223 pound halibut he caught August 12. Marvin Knapp of Gravois Mills, Missouri is currently in second place with a 227.6 pounder and Scott Jumgblom is holding onto third place with a 205 pound flatfish. The silver salmon and halibut derbies run through this Sunday. The Silver Salmon and Halibut Derby Awards and truck drawing will be held Sunday, September 2, at 6 p.m. at the Valdez Elks Lodge.

hello! as you can see in the title,i have found out how to glitch the menus!
this has been known for a while but there is more to this glitch than otiginally thought!
main menu
the glitch is performed by pressing square or X then right after that press O. the more you perform it,the more intense (for lack of a better word) it gets. for this one,go to my pod and perform it. the more you stack it on,the more it zooms out. it zooms out until the menu is just a few pixels on the screen. do it more and it will zoom back in...but the whole menu will be upside-down!
story levels/DL levels
if done here,the cursor will shift around starting left to up to down and back to where it was.
my moon
the cursor will shift here,too. your cursor can appear in a completley different crater if repeated a lot!
whew,what a mouthful! i imagine the community moon glitch would be similar to the my moon's glitch but no servers=glitch to test.

Wordless Wednesday: Lil, Neil, and Pete Moore
Here is a picture of my mother's younger sister and brothers, Lillian "Lil", Charles Neil, and Floyd Melburn "Pete" Moore. Don't they look a little bit like the Lil' Rascals?

Just adorable!!ReplyDelete
Too cute!ReplyDelete
I'm wishing I would have found you sooner! I live in Northern Virginia, but I'm in the process of moving to Hawaii.
At any rate, I look forward to following your blog :)
What a great picture! They look just like the Rascals! I love huge rock that they have their feet on.ReplyDelete
Just a great, refreshing picture, Greta!ReplyDelete
barefoot and carefree kids... what a great picture! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Aw, I'm glad you all enjoyed the picture. Pete, by the way, grew up into the guy in the preppy "B" sweater on an earlier post. LS - I'm sorry we didn't get to meet, too. I think there is at least one of our Graveyard Rabbits in Hawaii. Judith - yes, there are lots of big stones in Baylor County. I guess that's why so many masons from Eastern and Central Europe settled there.ReplyDelete

AP Story on Today's "Free Flow of Racy Content" Quotes Prof. Jeff McCall '76
August 15, 2013
"The entertainment industry has a huge role in deciding what is culturally OK, and society will often take (its) lead," Jeff McCall, professor of communication at DePauw University, tells the Associated Press. Dr. McCall is quoted in a nationally distributed story today that examines how new technologies have made it more difficult to monitor the materials their children see, read and hear.
AP's Martha Irvine writes that this is "an era when just about any kind of uncensored content is easily accessible from a mobile phone, a tablet, or on less regulated cable and Internet TV or satellite radio. Media experts say broadcast TV and mainstream radio have, in turn, tried to keep up by airing saucier content to try to retain dwindling audiences. Many see this free flow of content as progress -- a victory for freedom of expression in an uptight society. But for many parents, it also can be difficult to try to keep their kids from pop culture offerings they don't consider age appropriate."
Her story notes that McCall is "author of the book Viewer Discretion Advised: Taking Control of Mass Media Influence."
The complete text -- headlined "Free flow of racy content a headache for parents" -- is available at Yahoo! News.
A 1976 graduate of DePauw and a former journalist, Jeffrey M. McCall is faculty advised to DePauw's student radio station, WGRE. He has been quoted by more than 100 newspapers and major media outlets in articles analyzing media matters, including a Variety story this week on the future of cable television sports networks. Dr. McCall recently discussed Fox News' The Five with Florida's Palm Beach Post , was quoted in a Christian Science Monitor story on the CBS-Time Warner dispute, and authored a recent op-ed for the Indianapolis Star and other newspapers.

UMaine scientist featured in National Geographic
Rhian Waller featured in March edition
University of Maine marine scientist Rhian Waller is featured in the March edition of National Geographic magazine.
Waller is described as a risk taker in the "New Age of Exploration" piece. An assistant research professor in the School of Marine Sciences, Waller has pressed the limits of diving during more than 40 expeditions around the world.
In a submersible, she plunged to a depth of 3,600 meters for corals on the New England Seamount chain in 2005. Waller frequently scuba dives in temperatures of 35 degrees and colder in the name of science.
Waller's research focuses on how environmental factors such as climate change, fishing and oil exploration affect deep-sea coral ecology and reproduction.
A National Geographic Society yearlong series highlights 21st century explorers who "press the limits."

Media Squeeze Fuels Fox Bid for Time Warner
Company Rejects $80 Billion Offer by Murdoch's 21st Century Fox; Web Competition Weighs on Entertainment Firms
21st Century Fox made a bold bid to acquire Time Warner Inc., a takeover that would put some of the world's best-known media brands under one roof—but which also faces formidable obstacles.
Fox made an $80 billion cash-and-stock offer that Time Warner rejected last week for reasons that included the price, said people familiar with the matter. The companies on Wednesday confirmed the offer.

FSA offers drought assistance
A serious lack of moisture that extended over the summer season has caused producers in Marion County to suffer from the effects of exceptional drought conditions. Farms and ranches experiencing these conditions may be eligible for cost-share financial assistance under U.S. Department of Agriculture's Emergency Conservation Program — Drought Measures provision. This special disaster support program is administered by the Farm Service Agency and will provide benefit payments if damages are so severe that water available for livestock, orchards, or vineyards has been reduced below normal to the extent that neither can survive without additional water.
Producers may file an application from Monday through Nov. 15 at their local the USDA Farm Service Agency office at 301 Eisenhower Drive, Marion. Damages incurred by producers must be of such a magnitude that it would be too costly to rehabilitate without federal assistance.
Participants can receive cost sharing of up to 75 percent of the cost for temporary measures and 50 percent of the cost for permanent measures for approved emergency conservation practices. Practices approved are permanent drought measures — constructing and deepening wells, developing seeps and springs, and installing pipe to another source of water because primary source is inadequate — and temporary hauling water for livestock — transporting water to grazing areas and utilizing tanks and troughs.

A BBC video gone viral is leaving investors wondering whether Goldman Sachs will make a killing while "the savings of millions of people are going to vanish."
While stock markets around the world have surged in response to a plan to prevent an economic train wreck through a European version of the U.S. TARP program, Alessio Rastani, identified by the BBC as an independent trader, has transfixed investors with a prophecy of doom delivered with a candor and plausibility that led the BBC interviewer to say she saw the jaws of all around her drop.
The ensuing brouhaha kindled across the blogosphere has triggered debate not only about the likelihood of Rastani's doomsday prediction but about whether the whole thing might have been a hoax by an anticapitalist group called the Yes Men.
The interview opens with Rastani panning the European rescue plan: "The market is gonna crash, and it's gonna fall pretty hard. Because markets are ruled right now by fear. Investors, the big money, the smart money, I'm talking about the big funds, the big hedge funds, the institutions, they don't buy this rescue plan, they basically … they know the market is toast … They're moving their money away to safer assets, like Treasury bonds, 30-year bonds, and the U.S.-dollar. So, it's not gonna work."
With a sincerity and earnestness in every twitch of his empathetic face and every halting exhalation, Rastani added: "Personally, I've been dreaming of this moment for three years … I go to bed every night and I dream of another recession. When the market crashes … if you know what to do, if you have the right plan set up, you can make a lot of money from this."
It was then that jaws dropped in the BBC studio, but Rastani–honestly or deceptively–played perfectly to the global anxiety about the economic crisis: "This economic crisis is like a cancer. If you just wait and wait thinking this is gonna go away … just like a cancer it's gonna grow and it's gonna be too late. What I would say to anybody is: Get prepared! This is not the time right now for wishful thinking that the government is gonna sort things out. The governments don't rule the world, Goldman Sachs rules the world. Goldman Sachs does not care about this rescue package and neither does the big funds.
"The first thing people should do is to protect their assets. Protect what they have. Because in less than 12 months, my prediction is, the savings of millions of people is gonna vanish."
While these comments, and the seeming genuineness with which they were delivered, have fueled debate across the web as to the efficacy of measures to contain the spread of the debt crisis, there has been a parallel debate as to whether Rastani is really a member of the Yes Men, anticapitalist activists who impersonate the people they dislike as a means of exposing what they view as the real truth about corporations.
The Rastani interview seemed almost too real to be true. But, Rastani's quote about Goldman Sachs ruling the world and winning trading profits while millions will lose their savings — tucked nicely into such a credibly delivered interview — could well fit the Yes Men's profile.
The BBC says, "We've carried out detailed investigations and can't find any evidence to suggest that the interview … was a hoax."
In an interview with Forbes, Rastani talks about his history as a trader and denies any connection to the Yes Men. His website even contains a detailed analysis posted Monday titled Why I Pray for Another Recession.
But, a BBC interview on the 20th anniversary of the Bhopal gas leak that killed thousands shows a Union Carbide corporate spokesman that bears an uncanny resemblance to Rastani.
Late Tuesday, the British Telegraph blew what looks like big hole in Rastanti's story. The paper found he is not registered with the U.K.'s Financial Services Authority as a trader. Rastani fought to preserve his credibility, admitting to the Telegraph that he's not a trader but distancing himself from any notion that his BBC performance was a hoax: "I'm an attention seeker. That is the main reason I speak. That is the reason I agreed to go on the BBC. Trading is a like a hobby. It is not a business. I am a talker. I talk a lot. I love the whole idea of public speaking. I agreed to go on because I'm an attention seeker," he said on Tuesday. "But I meant every word I said."

How to Grow Cucumbers in Natick, Massachusetts, United States of America
How to grow cucumbers: Most gardeners grow cucumbers from seed directly sown outside in the garden when temperature is suitable.
If you decide to start germinating your seeds indoors then sow cucumber seeds in pots or trays 0.8 inches (2 cm) deep. Optimal soil temperature for germination is between 73°F (22.7°C) and 87°F (30.5°C). Seeds will germinate in 6-11 days.
Cucumbers require 55-65 days to be ready for harvest from seed, depending on the cucumber variety and the weather during the growing season. They are relatively easy to grow and provide harvest quickly.
Optimal air temperature for growing cucumbers is between 71°F (21.6°C) and 80°F (26.6°C). Optimal night temperature ןד between 62°F (16.6°C) and 67°F (19.4°C). Cucumbers can endure air temperatures as low as 60°F (15.5°C) during the night and up to 83°F (28.3°C) during the day.
Soil temperature during cucumber growth should be between 65°F (18.3°C) and 72°F (22.2°C) in optimal conditions, but can withstand soil temperatures as low as 61°F (16.1°C).
Required soil pH for cucumber growth is 5.9-7.0 but the optimal pH is 6.4-6.7.
Optimal sunlight for cucumbers is 6-9 hours per day.
Cucumbers should be watered between 1-1.5 inches of water per week, adjusting for weather conditions and type of soil accordingly.
Cucumber spacing: When planting cucumber seeds directly into the ground sow seeds 0.8 inches (2 cm) deep spaced 15 inches (38 cm) apart with rows spaced 35 inches (89 cm) apart.
Cucumber classification: Cucumbers are classified into two groups, pickling and slicing. Slicing varieties are those cucumbers eaten fresh and tossed in salads, and pickling varieties, well, are for making pickles. Cucumber varieties are also classified by size, how smooth or spiny their outer skin is, days to maturity, vine or bushy growth habits and by the amount of seeds they have, seedless and lots of seeds.
How to grow Cucumbers in your garden: Cucumbers should not be allowed to grow on the ground. Most cucumber varieties will spread and take up lots of space, so growing them on a trellis, cage or even next to a fence will control their growth and also make sure fruit does not touch the ground.
About cucumbers: Cucumbers are the fourth most popular vegetable in the world and are grown in 47% of American gardens. Like the tomato, it is also a fruit but is treated as a vegetable and is classified into two main types: slicing and pickling.
Slicing varieties are used for consumption in raw form, and pickling varieties are used to process pickles. Rich in water, vitamins, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substances it's no surprise why this vegetable is the second most popular in American gardens.
In fact this vegetable is so popular it has a diet named after it, called "The Cucumber Diet". Many celebrities in Hollywood have adopted this diet which requires three cucumber salads a day with toast, and results are said to show within three days! Go cucumber!
Originating thousands of years ago, in a remote area in what is now India, this long dark-green vegetable has become indispensable around the world - used in salads, shakes, and skin products. However, the cucumber wasn't always seen as a healthy veggie. In 18th century England this vegetable was actually called "cowcumber" because of fictitious rumors that it was poisonous.
Cucumbers are considered relatively easy to grow, if planted at the right time. Two cucumber plants can produce plenty of produce for a small family. Organically grown it will eliminate exposure to pesticides and other risky substances used to extend shelf-life.

Cucumber Germination Guide
(Stage 1: Germination)
Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. It is the first stage of the plant growing process and it begins when the seed is sown and ends when the radicale emerges out of the seed.
All seeds require proper soil temperature, moisture, air and light conditions to germinate successfully. However, during the germination stage the seeds require more soil warmth and moisture than light exposure.
Seeds respire just like any other living organism, requiring oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (CO2), so it is crucial to use a soil media that is sufficiently aerated so that the seeds do not "suffocate".
100% of our growing experts recommend to directly sow cucumber seeds into the ground. What is direct sowing and why do I care about it?

Cucumber Growing Guide
(Stages 2-5: Growth)
Once seed has germinated and radicale has emerged the second stage of the plant growing process begins, developing from radicale to cotyledon -the embryonic first leaves of the seed forming a young seedling.
During the third stage of plant development cotyledon develops to 3-4 true leaves, stem begins to grow, becoming a mature seedling.
In the fourth stage the mature seedling develops to a young plant, ready for transplanting.
The fifth stage of plant development the plant is fully mature bearing fruit and/or flower.
The following guidelines apply to all of the cucumber plants' needs during stages 2-5 from radicale emergence to full maturity. During these stages sunlight becomes a more active participant in plant growth and development than in the germination phase.
Soil pH is an important factor during these stages as well. What is pH and why is it important?

How difficult is it to grow cucumbers?
Growing cucumbers, or any other vegetable for that matter, is not hard, however some plants require more attention and care than others depending on the following factors:
Are you starting to grow your plant from seed? seedling? young plant? Depending on what stage plant you choose to plant will impact growing difficulty and patience.
The length of the growing season for your exact garden location.
If you have a short growing season and you want to start growing from seed then you may need to start the growing process in a sheltered environment (greenhouse or inside your home) which will require more involvement in the growing process.
Whether you direct sow in the garden or start in trays and then transplant also affects the level of difficulty
Growing difficulty level - 0
Growing patience level - 0

As it turns out, drivers have a lot more to worry about than the driver in the lane next to them.
As it turns out, drivers have a lot more to worry about than the car in the lane next to them.
An analysis compiled by CarInsurance.com from 42,000 car-insurance shoppers finds that the familiar two-car accident makes up about 45 percent of all incidents reported by these shoppers.
More than a third of all incidents involved other incidents, such as hitting an animal or road debris, weather-related damage, vandalism, or hitting a tree or parked car, according to the report.
The kind of claim a driver submits is important because each type of acciddent can affect rates differently.
