Improving livelihoods through communal tenure rights in the Maya Biosphere Reserve, GuatemalaGuatemala
The Maya Biosphere reserve was created in 1990, and covers over 50 percent of Petén state in Guatemala and is connected to protected areas in Belize and Mexico. At 2.1 million hectares, it is one of the largest areas of tropical forests north of the Amazon. The reserve has three zones; a core zone which consists of state owned national parks and reserves, and where harvest activities are restricted. A second state owned zone, where regulated harvest of zate palms, chicle gum, allspice and timber is permitted. A less regulated buffer zone, which includes privately owned land. Rapid land use change has been occurring in the buffer zone, with agriculture turning into the dominant activity and reducing forest cover.
In an effort to develop a long term model which integrates livelihoods and conservation priorities, local communities were granted concessions, which gave them management rights over the state owned multiple use zone. Currently, 13 concessions covering 500,000 hectares have been granted to local communities. This allows local communities to sustainably harvest wood and non-timber forest products, which helps meet livelihood needs. However, communities need to be certified in order to carry out these activities, which act as a safeguard against over exploitation. The concessions not only serve as a source of livelihood opportunities for communities, but also act as an incentive for communities to protect and sustainably manage forest resources.
Relationship to CSA
The model applied within the Maya Biosphere Reserve contributes to multiple CSA pillars.
Productivity: Communities are able to sustainably harvest timber and other non-timber forest products which ensure a source of income and livelihoods for the communities. The model also strengthens the linkages between ecosystem services provided by the reserve with the livelihoods of local communities, which encourages sustainable use.
Adaptation: By preserving ecosystem health, ecosystem resilience to climate change impacts is increased, and it continues to provide valuable ecosystem services to dependent communities.
Mitigation: The Maya Biosphere reserve acts as a carbon sink and mitigates emissions. A new project led by the Rainforest Alliance, "Payment for Environmental Services Project in the Maya Biosphere Reserve", seeks to increase this mitigation potential even further by avoiding deforestation.
Lessons learned and recommendations
The model of granting communities forest concessions has led to better forest governance, and changed the institutional and organizational landscape of the region. Simplification of the certification process for communities and the harmonization of the requirements between different certification systems is a key challenge for the future.
FAO. 2013a. Climate-Smart Agriculture: Sourcebook. Rome, Italy: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
http://www.fao.org/3/a-i3325e.pdf Between now and 2050, the world's population will increase by one-third. Most of these additional 2 billion people will live in developing countries. At the same time, more people will be living in cities. If current income and consumption growth trends continue, FAO estimates that agricultural production will have to increase by 60 percent by 2050 to satisfy the expected demands for food and feed. Agriculture must therefore transform itself if it is to feed a growing global population and provide the basis for economic growth and poverty reduction. Climate change will make this task more difficult under a business-as-usual scenario, due to adverse impacts on agriculture, requiring spiralling adaptation and related costs.

Melissa Orlov solves your problems with spouses and friends.
My long-distance boyfriend, who was recently diagnosed with attention deficit (ADD/ADHD), phoned to let me know he would like to "step back and just be friends." I love him, and I don't want to lose him. What should I do?
Your boyfriend is probably confused, overwhelmed, and/or relieved by his new attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) diagnosis, but the change in your status isn't an ADHD-related issue. The bottom line is that you need to respect his wishes. If he's being honest with you, he's indicated he doesn't want to be pursued. You should make it clear that everything can't remain the same. Going from girlfriend/boyfriend" to "just friends" changes your relationship. Tell him that you still care about him, but that there are new "friends only" ground rules.
Then, think about opening yourself up to other friendships and experiences, instead of waiting around for him. If he decides to get serious again, you can assess whether that works for you at that point.
My partner, who has ADD/ADHD, isn't good at getting projects done on time, particularly if they are big or difficult. Can I help her without feeling like I'm parenting her?
Maybe. Spouses often fall into parenting mode when they instruct their attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) partner about how to do something, or take responsibility for the project that doesn't get done fast enough. Your partner needs to find strategies and a reminder system that works for her. There are many resources to help her get through tough projects, such as Ari Tuckman's More Attention, Less Deficit and Nancy Ratey's The Disorganized Mind. Encourage her to read them, and offer your support only when she asks for it.
The key is to help her get projects done without making her feel like a child. Sit down with her regularly, and make sure you both agree on the most important tasks to accomplish for the week. Brainstorming is another useful approach. If — and only if — your partner consents to it, share your ideas about how to tackle a tough task. She can choose to use them or not. Finally, offer to take on tasks that are particularly difficult for her — exchanging them for some of your tasks, so the workload doesn't fall on your shoulders.
How do I get my partner to admit that ADHD is ruining our relationship?
Tell your partner that your reaction to his ADD/ADHD symptoms are not meant to be mean-spirited. Many non-ADHD partners respond in the same way to distraction and impulsivity.
Tell him that you don't blame him for the problems in the marriage, but sometimes you find it hard to deal with his ADD/ADHD symptoms. You don't want to change him — you want him to manage his ADD/ADHD symptoms.
Suggest that he learn more about treatment if he fears treatment will change him. Delivered from Distraction, by Ned Hallowell, is a reassuring resource for this.
Acknowledge that you play a role in your marital problems. If you show your partner that you are working to resolve your problems, it will be harder for him to resent you for butting into his life.


Pedro point is a great little spot right on the edge of Pacifica. It borders the Pacific Ocean and has a small beach. The entire recreation area isn't very large, but it has a lot to offer. There are a number of different terrains. There are some hills and grassy pastures. The recreation area is just off Highway 101. The spot is popular among hikers and surfers.
Because the park is so close to the ocean, there are very few types of plants that can survive there. Most of the vegetation are shrubs that can withstand the strong winds that come in from the Pacific Ocean.

A: My guess is that your lex file also has a rule like:
[[:digit:]]+             INTEGER
[[:alpha:]][[:alnum:]]*  VARIABLE

in which case MOD4 will be lexed as a VARIABLE and not as MOD because lex always chooses the longest match.
If you don't want to put a space after MOD in your input, you'll have to be much cleverer about how you specify VARIABLE.

A: Flex/lex does not support single quotes to denote strings, it uses double quotes to this end.  So your scanner is actually waiting for you to enter a=55'mod'4.  Either remove the single quotes, or use double quotes.
Also, don't use yylval in the parser's actions, use $1 and so forth.  I don't know if your code works, but if it does, that's pure luck: yylval is about the lookahead, which does not need to be the same as the last of the reduced symbols.

This article is about the 16th century Pope. For the distantly related founder of the Medici Bank, see Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici.
Pope Pius IV (31 March 1499 – 9 December 1565), born Giovanni Angelo Medici, was Pope from 25 December 1559 to his death in 1565.
He is known for presiding over the final session of the Council of Trent.
Giovanni Angelo Medici was born in Milan on 31 March 1499 as the second of eleven children to Bernardino de' Medici and Clelia Serbelloni. He was not closely related to the Medicis of Florence.
Giovanni Medici was the younger brother of condottiero Gian Giacomo Medici, and the maternal uncle of Charles Borromeo. Medici studied philosophy and medicine in Pavia.
After studying at Bologna and acquiring a reputation as a jurist he obtained his doctorate in both canon and civil law on 11 May 1525. Medici went in 1527 to Rome, and as a favourite of Pope Paul III was rapidly promoted to the governorship of several towns, the archbishopric of Ragusa (1545–1553), and the vice-legateship of Bologna.
In April 1549, Pope Paul III made Medici a cardinal. Under Papal authority, he was sent on diplomatic missions to Germany and also to Hungary.
On the death of Pope Paul IV, he was elected pope on 25 December 1559, taking the name Pius IV, and installed on 6 January 1560. His first public acts of importance were to grant a general pardon to the participants in the riot after the death of his predecessor, and to bring to trial the nephews of his predecessor. One, Cardinal Carlo Carafa, was strangled, and Duke Giovanni Carafa of Paliano, with his nearest associates, was beheaded.
On 18 January 1562 the Council of Trent, which had been suspended by Pope Julius III, was convened by Pius IV for the third and final time. Great skill and caution were necessary to effect a settlement of the questions before it, inasmuch as the three principal nations taking part in it, though at issue with regard to their own special demands, were prepared to unite their forces against the demands of Rome. Pius IV, however, aided by Cardinal Morone and Charles Borromeo, proved himself equal to the emergency, and by judicious management – and concession – brought the council to a termination satisfactory to the disputants and favourable to the pontifical authority. Its definitions and decrees were confirmed by a papal bull ("Benedictus Deus") dated 26 January 1564; and, though they were received with certain limitations by France and Spain, the famous Creed of Pius IV, or Tridentine Creed, became an authoritative expression of the Catholic faith. The more marked manifestations of stringency during his pontificate appear to have been prompted rather than spontaneous, his personal character inclining him to moderation and ease.
Thus, a warning, issued in 1564, summoning Jeanne d'Albret, the Queen of Navarre, before the Inquisition on a charge of Calvinism, was withdrawn by him in deference to the indignant protest of Charles IX of France. In the same year he published a bull granting the use of the cup to the laity of Austria and Bohemia. One of his strongest passions appears to have been that of building, which somewhat strained his resources in contributing to the adornment of Rome (including the new Porta Pia and Via Pia, named after him, and the northern extension (Addizione) of the rione of Borgo), and in carrying on the work of restoration, erection, and fortification in various parts of the ecclesiastical states.
On the other hand, others bemoaned the austere Roman culture during his papacy; Giorgio Vasari in 1567 spoke of a time when "the grandeurs of this place reduced by stinginess of living, dullness of dress, and simplicity in so many things; Rome is fallen into much misery, and if it is true that Christ loved poverty and the City wishes to follow in his steps she will quickly become beggarly...".
Pius IV created 46 cardinals in four consistories during his pontificate, and elevated three nephews to the cardinalate, including Carlo Borromeo. The pope also made Ugo Boncompagni, who would later be elected Pope Gregory XIII, a cardinal.
A conspiracy against Pius IV, headed by Benedetto Accolti the Younger (who died in 1549), the son of a cardinal, was discovered and crushed in 1565.
During the reign of Pius IV, Michelangelo rebuilt the basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli (in Diocletian's Baths) and the eponymous Villa Pia, now known as Casina Pio IV. in the Vatican Gardens designed by Pirro Ligorio. It is now the headquarters of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
Pius IV also ordered public construction to improve the water supply of Rome.
Pius IV died on 9 December 1565. He was buried in Santa Maria degli Angeli. His successor was Pius V.

Your web page is wonderful. So glad you put the sign up on the gate. That's how we found your site. The work you are doing is fascinating. Pictures are great. The Bay is one of our favorite restaurants. One of our sons lives on Long Island and is an Internationally Certified Arborist, and a horticulturalist. If at all possible he would love to see your operation some time when he is down here.
Welcome to the neighborhood of Happy Hollow. We live on Creekview Ave.
Welcome to our Happy Hollow Community. Can't wait to come by and see your new farm. We're so glad that you've partnered with The Bay Restaurant, just happens to be our favorite place to eat out. See you soon.


This may sound a bit weird but the only way I think you can get the updates on CD is ordering them from a filesharing site, such as filefront or fileplanet.
Otherwise I can only recommend getting a download resuming program such as Get Right (http://www.getright.com) or Download Accelerator (http://www.speedbit.com).
That or wait for the rumored "Pacific Fighters Platinum Pack" which is supposed to contain all the updates as well as all the Il2 titles and PF.
Im sure someone would put them on a cd and post it to you if you were prepared to offer to cover their (minimal) costs(many might not even accept anyway...).As Im in Ireland I'll give your fellow americans first refusal on this but if you havent had any luck send me a message in a week or two....!Theres a tremendous amount of goodwill in this community despite the odd 'flamewar'.One guy in England once just gave me Dark Blue World on dvd as he hadnt particularly liked it ,no postage charge even....Good luck!
I'll try and see if i can send these things out on a CD.
I'll pm you if i find anything out.
BTW consider this (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/26310365/m/4591089933/r/4591089933#4591089933). You might want to go that route. It is actually well worth it.... especially if you are a warbird nut like most of us.
check your pms cva I live in Iowa I can help ya out. I like to help out fellow gamers.
I really think the makers should make these patches available on CD, 100mb downloads are just not an option for me at this stage. I'd happily pay costs. I only recently got hold of FB/AEP and I'm strongly considering buying PF, but the download problem is really offputting. I'm staying at my mother's house while I try to find somewhere to live (don't ask), which is taking forever, so I don't have the possibility of getting broadband access for months at least. I'm stuck on 56k dial-up and a pretty slow and crappy 56k at that.
It would be nice to have the AEP updates and know that I have the possibility of getting the PF updates if I buy the game.
Sooo... I live in Melbourne, Australia... anyone feel like helping me out with a CD? I'll pay costs or work out some kind of payment in kind if anyone is interested.
Copy/paste and replace (at) with @ whilst cursing spambot webcrawlers.
I really think the makers should make these patches available on CD, 100mb downloads are just not an option for me at this stage. I'd happily pay costs. I only recently got hold of FB/AEP and I'm strongly considering buying PF, but the download problem is really offputting.
I understand your problem, but does it occur to you that it would cost a lot of money to print up, package & post a CD everytime a patch came out? Especially as it's not likely to be in great demand. This is a commercial issue as I'm sure you understand. How much would you pay UbiSoft for this service? How many should they have made up? 10, 100, 1000? Would you pay $10, $15, $20?
Hopefully someone here will help you out - but I find it hard to imagine that you have no friends with broadband locally or within reasonable distance who would d/l and burn-to-disc an update for you. It's not like you have to own the game to get an update for it. Just send 'em to 3dgamers.com with the appropriate link - maybe get them to d/l some skins & missions from airwarfare.com or flyinglegends.com too as there will be about 600Mb free space on the CD.
Considering the cost of CDs now adays and first class postage.. I think it is better if community members do it. It not only fosters a sense of true friendliness but plants seeds for new members to "pay forward" if you will. I think the cost of postage is more than the cost of the CD.
I have the same dilemma- i dont have access to broadband and the work IT guys cant help me either.
I live on the far south coast of NSW, Australia. I recently upgraded to PF (so i have version 3.0) and would like to patch up to 4.02.
CVA You get your updates then?
I got an offer to help out, so hopefully it will work out.
Brando: You have a point, regarding the time/money involved in making official copies of the patches available on CD by mail order - it is a lot of trouble to go to... but not everyone has access to broadband internet. I could have used the connection at work, but, sadly, I got downsized... with no warning. I do know a couple of people with broadband access, but one of them I've kind of burned out my favour-asking rights at the moment and the other has just split from his long-term relationship and I really don't want to bother him right now.
I do find that internet forums are a good place for asking for help with things like this: I've been helped out before and I've helped out others in turn. It doesn't take much to burn a CD and post it.
I bought PF, by the way: I found a copy for under $30 so I decided to take the plunge. It's worth it, I've always liked the US Navy planes for some reason, particularly the Corsair.
Anyway, I am in agreement with Bearcat's words about helping out the community, so - blakduk, if I can get copies of the PF patches, I will pass them along to you. Let me know.
djetz- your dilemma sound very similar to mine. The local guy i know with broadband access has a tight restriction on his downloads and he's very reluctant to help.
I may have found a solution so if i score a CD first i'll get your details and send on a copy.
BTW- i recently got PF after i saw it advertised for <$30 at the Gameswarehouse site.
Blakduk, if you do not have any luck with Tully let me know. I live Sunshine Coast Qld and have most of the patches on file. Will check back this thread Sunday. Just confirm what ones you require. Glad to help.
Here's an idea, Bearcat. Perhaps a sticky thread (or one per continent?) could be put up on the GD containing a list of people who are prepared to help out fellow gamers by putting patches on a CD. You can put my nickname there for Europe.
Tip: Subscribe to the sim-flight magazine PC Pilot, they release every patch for FB/PF on CD.
It should be available at all good news stalls on both sides of the Atlantic (I have no trouble finding it and i live in Sweden!).
You will have to wait a while before each patch is released but they always get around to releasing them on the CD that accompanies the magazine! There are often lots of other goodies on the CD's , such as add-ons for FS2004 and X-Plane, patches for other sims, as well as demo's and good reading on new releases etc. The mag' only comes out 6 times a year...it's well worth the expense, and you will never have to download a thing!
This magazine is well worth supporting...I somehow get the feeling that they are struggling to keep going (reading between the lines). Most of their reviews are well written (with the exception of a recent one that praised Heroes of the Pacific much too highly), anything that they recommend is usually well worth buying.
It is written by dedicated sim lovers who know what they are talking about, and offers the rare chance of an unbiased appraisal of the latest releases in this genre.
Tip: Subscribe to the sim-flight magazine I was going to say the same thing, & I have copies of all the discs, but if anyone in the USA needs patches, I have mailed discs before & it costs about $3 for a couple of 100mb patches.
While both mags.. PF Pilot and Computer Pilot (http://www.computerpilot.com/) are good.... I find that for me the only sim I am really interested in is this one... so often I find stuff in there that I really dont need.
I'll get it Blackjack04, blakduk & I are making arrangements by PT.


What is the AC condenser fan? The AC condenser fan cools the AC system by blowing air across the AC condenser. The AC condenser generates a lot of heat and by removing much of this heat the AC condenser fan helps keep the pressure in the AC system down allowing the AC to provide cool air . How do you know your AC condenser fan needs to be replaced? The AC system is not blowing cool air The AC is not working How is the AC condenser fan replaced by a mobile mechanic? A gauge is used to measure the pressure. The AC fan is checked to make sure it is defective and is also checked for power and ground at the AC fan. The faulty fan assembly is removed and a new one is installed. The fan is checked to ensure it works. How important is it to have your AC condenser fan replaced? If the AC condenser fan is defective, your AC system will not blow cold air or any air at all. While this is not vital in the running your your vehicle, it can affect passenger comfort. Also an overheated AC system can also cause severe damage to the system.


To look at this recipe, it may seem slightly intimidating by the ingredients list (it's kind of long). BUT … here is a testament to one of the concepts I stand by (there's only a few that I think are musts!) and one of them is that to be a successful, frequent cook (who enjoys cooking & trying new things) you need to have a good pantry. Period. It is what made this easy for me because besides the beef, I had everything on hand. I will cover this concept in my cookbook but probably in a separate blog post soon as well. Do you keep a stocked pantry?
AND guess, what? It doesn't have to be expensive! I bought 3 packages (of 4 each) beef short ribs & only spent $16 on the meat. They were on the small side for short ribs which is why we bought 3 packages. This was a small town grocer so I also recognize if given more (or other options) you could go all from-the-butcher-grass-fed-organic-beef & the price would be more (and yes, I say if you are able to,,,, DO THAT) It will just be that must better!
This will quickly become one of those "Sunday Dinner" meals in your repertoire ... it's right up there for me with Beef Stroganoff & Gramma's meatloaf! As in all of my recipes, the ingredients list is also your prep list as you will have your mise en place after making it through. Read all the way through for ALL ingredients as some are needed more than once.
I used the 6 qt Duos Instant Pot. This would be too much for a 4 quart but you could halve the recipe. I used the high pressure cook function for 40 minutes & then 10 minute natural release. You can use any pressure cooker you have but you 'functions' might vary from mine.
First, season (with salt & pepper) the short ribs. Put oil in the pressure cooker & turn on to saute.
Once the oil is hot, add as many short ribs at a time as you can & brown for about one minute per side & remove once this is done to a separate plate. This is only to sear the outside, NOT to cook them!
Remove all the short ribs & set aside. Now, add the butter then onion, garlic & "mire poix" (=celery, onion & carrot) plus the thyme, bay leaves & salt/pepper. Saute for 3-5 minutes.
Give the wine a sip. If it's delicious, Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup of red wine & reduce until there is a few tablespoons left. Turn pressure cooker OFF.
Plug in pressure cooker, pit on lid in the SEALING position & pressure cook on high for 40 minutes. Allow to natural release for 10-15 & finish the release after that if the float valve hasn't dropped.
BE CAREFUL removing the lid (point it away from you so the steam doesn't hit you (steam burns!) Take a deep breath --- YUMMM!! Now, carefully remove short ribs to a plate & cover loosely with foil. Remove the veggies with a spoon to a separate bowl large enough to mash in!
Now, besides mushrooms (set them aside with ribs), start mashing the veggies (I did keep out a few carrots to serve on the side, this is up to you) & once they are starting to resemble a mash, add 1-2 Tbsp of butter & 1/4 - 1/2 C milk or cream. Season with salt & pepper. Cover to keep warm while you whip up the gravy.
For the Gravy -->Thicken & Season: Stir the corn starch into cold milk to dissolve. The broth should be bubbling. Drizzle the cornstarch/milk mixture (this is a slurry) slowly into the broth until desired thickness. BE AWARE, it may not take all of the starch. If you make it too thick, add broth. Too thin? More slurry. Easy & there's no exact on this - a lot is preference. (Note, a Tbsp of butter stirred in now just makes it richer!) TURN OFF pot.
Serve short ribs over the mash with mushrooms & gravy ... ENJOY with a glass of red wine & french bread if you dare!!

Former Police Officer Had Sex While Daughter Died In Hot Car
By Madhur Dave @mad_dhoor
A former police officer from Long Beach, Mississippi, pleaded guilty to manslaughter Monday after her daughter was found dead in a hot car. She also admitted to having sex with her supervisor while her three-year-old daughter was dying in the hot patrol car.
Cassie Barker pleaded guilty to manslaughter in a plea bargain after she was indicted on a second-degree murder charge. Barker, who was earlier released on bail, was rearrested Monday. Barker admitted to having sex with her supervisor while her three-year-old daughter was dying in a hot patrol car.
Barker left her daughter Cheyenne Hyer strapped in her car seat for four hours when she went to her former supervisor's house on Sept. 30, 2016. By the time Barker went back, the girl was unresponsive and her body temperature was 107 degrees when she was taken to a nearby hospital, according to authorities. On the fateful day, the heat index had reached over 100 degrees, according to local news channel Sun Herald. Barker claimed the air conditioner in the car was running, however, it wasn't blowing cold air.
Following the death of the child, Long Beach Police Chief Wayne McDowell fired Barker and her supervisor Clark Ladner. Ladner informed officials that he wasn't aware of the child being inside the car and no criminal charges were made against him.
Initially, Barker claimed she was talking to Ladner at his house and fell asleep there since she had been working two jobs at the time. Ladner told police he took some sleep aid and he too fell asleep. Barker later admitted to having sex with her supervisor and falling asleep after, while the girl was in the car.
This wasn't the first time Barker left the child unattended in the car. Barker left the child inside the car while she went to a store in Gulfport in April 2015. A passerby saw the girl and informed the police and she was taken into temporary custody by child welfare workers. At the time, Barker was suspended without pay for a week. Cheyenne's father, Ryan Hyer, said he wasn't aware of the incident and was surprised when he heard of it.
"As a parent, you are supposed to protect your child, and Cheyenne is gone because her mother didn't protect her, not once but twice," he said at the time.
Ryan sued the Long Beach Police Department and the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services for the wrongful death of Cheyenne. He said the child welfare agency should have taken stronger action after the 2015 incident.
"Every time I close my eyes, I picture her suffering and then I picture her laying in this coffin. I still see her smiling and laughing and in my head and I would assumed that smile and laughter turned to pain and suffering in that instance," he said.
When the child was declared dead, Barker was also hospitalized for what the officials and hospital staff described as shock. She took a psychological exam later which showed the woman suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder related to some childhood trauma and the death of her daughter. However, she was found competent to stand her trial.
During the trial, prosecutors recommended a 20-year sentence for Barker in prison, however, Harrison County Circuit Judge Larry Bourgeois said he needed more time to consider the case and would determine the sentence on April 1.
He said, "I don't know what I could ever do to you that could be worse that what you've already experienced… You will forever be entombed in the prison of your own mind."

Statement by Adam J. Szubin, Nominee for Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Crimes, Before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, And Urban Affairs
WASHINGTON - Chairman Shelby, Ranking Member Brown, and distinguished Members of the Committee: It is an honor to be appearing before this Committee today.
With your permission, I would like to introduce the members of my family who are in attendance: My wonderful wife Miriam, my beloved sons, Nathan, Micah, and Josiah, my mother Laurie Szubin, and my father-in-law Steve Weiner. I want to thank my wife Miriam in particular for her unwavering support—whatever I have accomplished has been made possible by her. Finally, I want to recognize my family members who weren't able to be here today but who are watching from a distance, including my father, Zvi Szubin, my Grandma Malkie, my sister Lisa and her family, my mother-in-law Roz Heifetz, and the rest of my loved ones. My family has provided me with endless love and strength.
Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Brown, and esteemed members of this Committee, I am honored to have been nominated to serve as Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Crimes. I want to thank the President for the confidence he has placed in me, and Secretary Lew, for his recommendation and strong support.
I do not take this opportunity for granted. Indeed, I don't take for granted the fact that I have been allowed to serve my government at all for the last sixteen years. My father was not born here; he was born in Poland in 1933. His parents fled the Nazis at the outbreak of World War II. They were captured by the Soviet army and exiled to Siberia, where they lived out the war years. Siberia was a place of great hardship, but it turned out that their capture and exile had saved their lives; nearly all of my father's aunts, uncles, and cousins were wiped out by the Nazis. There are today few remnants of a family that should have numbered in the thousands.
My parents raised us to be conscious of the existence of real evil in the world, evil not as an abstract concept, but as an all too real threat that they had seen in their lifetimes: regimes—leaders and willing followers—who pursued murder and even genocide, in the Holocaust and, sadly, in other places in the decades that followed. But we were not raised in an environment of fear or anger or mourning. To the contrary, we were raised to savor life, to seek out joy, and to be aware of and grateful for the many gifts that we enjoyed. High among those gifts was the ability to grow up in America—the goldene medina to which my father had come. He has never stopped marveling at this country—at our brilliant Constitution and legal system, our openness to new immigrants, our work ethic, and our enduring hopefulness that we can improve the world and leave it a little better for our children. For all of these I was taught to be grateful.
So, while it is perhaps not a surprise that I sought out a career in government service, I have been regularly amazed that this country has allowed the child of an immigrant to take on positions of trust and to participate in shaping our national security policies. This truly is a country like no other.
I appreciate how significant the responsibilities of this office are. Eleven years ago, I followed Stuart Levey from the Justice Department when he was named the first Under Secretary for the newly created Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, or TFI. I have served in TFI ever since, as the director of its sanctions office, the Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, for nine years, and, most recently, as the Acting Under Secretary for the last six months, overseeing the more than 700 exceptional individuals who make TFI what it is.
Our office was created to bring together, under one roof, an array of capabilities—intelligence, regulation, enforcement, and policy—to confront our adversaries on the financial battlefield. The twin missions of TFI are to harness financial intelligence and exercise authorities to advance national security and foreign policy objectives, and to secure our financial system against abuse by criminals and other illicit actors. It is an easy mission to describe but a challenging one to execute, as I have seen firsthand. Nonetheless, this office has accomplished amazing things in its short history.
When I started at TFI, a decade ago, the conventional wisdom in schools of international affairs and in foreign ministries was that sanctions did not—and could not—work; that the targets of sanctions would always find ways to circumvent them, money being like water that would always flow downhill. Thanks to the remarkable and dedicated women and men in TFI and across our government, I don't hear these arguments as much anymore. People have seen that smart, creative, and persistent financial efforts, when backed by the superb support of the U.S. Intelligence Community, can strangle illicit organizations, shake regimes, and change their behavior.
Our efforts to track and disrupt the money flows to terrorist groups have been a key plank in our broader strategy against murderous groups such as al Qaida, ISIL, Hizballah, and Hamas. We continue to have much critical work ahead of us, but every bank account frozen, every charitable front exposed, every procurement company neutralized, and every fundraiser designated or deterred, strikes a blow against these groups. And, across the Middle East and Asia, we have worked with governments to help them strengthen their counter terrorism laws and empower themselves to identify and act against illicit money flows.
Indeed, we have raised standards and increased transparency in the global financial system across the board. The world's financial system is—in every arena and every continent—more transparent and more resilient than it was fifteen years ago.
In the field of human rights, we have used sanctions to combat abuses, facilitating positive changes in places such as Burma—though much remains to be done.
In the arena of narcotics trafficking and money laundering, we dealt once-powerful cartels such as the Cali cartel and the Sinaloa cartel major setbacks due to our concerted and patient efforts to expose their financial holding companies and money launderers—hitting them in their point of greatest vulnerability—their wallets.
We have used sanctions to combat North Korea's attempts to access and abuse the world's financial system, closing out front companies and banks that were willing to launder the regime's money for a cut. In perhaps the most famous example, FinCEN's action against Banco Delta Asia in Macau severed North Korea's primary channel for moving and collecting illicit revenues and showed that one well-aimed blow can have the impact of years of broad restrictions.
When we saw Russia violate Ukraine's territorial sovereignty, we worked with our allies in Europe to devise a creative and powerful set of sanctions that not only went after the key cronies and business interests around President Putin, but also cut some of Russia's largest banks and energy companies off from the things they need most—western technology and western financing.
Finally, under Stuart Levey's and then David Cohen's leadership, TFI devised and executed a strategy to dramatically intensify the pressure against the government of Iran and its malign policies, its nuclear program chief among them. Through a steady campaign to expose Iran's deceptive activities in the financial arena, we cut Iran's banks off from the world's financial centers, and badly wounded its trade and financial strength. In 2010, Congress, with this Committee at the center, then dramatically advanced the effort, passing bipartisan measures that brought Iran's crude oil sales down by 60 percent, escrowed Iran's foreign reserves in banks around the world, and ensured that Iran's leaders knew that it would not recover economically until it clearly and verifiably closed off all of its pathways to a nuclear weapon. These efforts led to the election of President Rouhani and culminated in the diplomatic process that produced the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The women and men of TFI worked incredibly hard over the past decade to impose and enforce these measures, and to combat every effort to circumvent them. And, even as we prepare to suspend our secondary nuclear sanctions if Iran fulfills its commitments under the deal, we are simultaneously intensifying a battery of sanctions that will not change under the terms of that deal. These include sanctions against Iranian human rights abusers as well as our powerful campaign against the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Quds Force, as well as Hizballah and other Iranian partners and proxies in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Gaza, and beyond. And we will be doing so in active cooperation with our partners in Europe, the Gulf, and Israel.
So I have seen first-hand the power of American economic statecraft in advancing our national interests. And, over the past 11 years, TFI has been continually improving—honing our intelligence focus and developing more innovative, tailored measures to combat and restrain our adversaries. In this time, I have also gained an appreciation for the importance of exercising our authorities judiciously, in order to preserve the strength of our instruments and financial system well into the future. But I am also aware that we cannot rest. I sit in a SCIF every morning to read the latest intelligence, and the threats we face are serious, deadly, and adaptive. We need to be vigilant, smart, and aggressive.
Mr. Chairman, I am extremely proud to have been part of TFI from the start, for over a decade, under four Treasury secretaries. As the international landscape evolves, I am confident that the organization will remain at the forefront of our government's efforts to protect our national security. Our work has benefited greatly from strong bipartisan support in the House and Senate, and from the Members and staff of this Committee in particular. If confirmed, I intend to preserve and build upon the close relationship between TFI and this Committee to take on the pressing challenges ahead.
Thank you again for your time and consideration. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Proposal to name an un-named Island Within Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park after Mr. Tom Maccagno
Visit Our Parks
Advisories & Public Safety
Management & Land-use
Alberta Parks has been a part of Alberta's history for 80 years and we are very proud of the close relationship we have with our surrounding communities throughout the Province.
Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park is made up of a number of islands located in Lac La Biche. The park is located in northeast Alberta, located approximately 11km northeast of the town of Lac La Biche.
With the long and colorful history of Lac La Biche and the use of the islands on the lake, Alberta Parks is proposing to name one of the islands within Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park after the late Lac La Biche resident, Mr.Tom Maccagno. Mr. Maccagno was a life-long supporter in preserving the natural beauty of the Lac La Biche area and a number of local organizations and supporters have indicated their support and desire to honour him by naming an island after him. While the name of the island is proposed to change to Maccagno Island, the name of the park itself would not change.
Mr. Maccagno was an influential and vocal supporter of Provincial protected areas, especially those in the Lac La Biche region. He sat on the Lakeland Provincial Park Public Advisory Committee, nominated the Garner Fen for protection as a natural area during the Special Places 2000 program, provided information on 14 orchid species for the Alberta Parks book Orchids of Lakeland, reported on rare plant species on the islands within Lac La Biche, and was also influential and the main community driver in seeing the islands in Lac La Biche being protected and added into Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park. Mr. Maccagno passed away on January 7th, 2012.
Alberta Parks believes that this should be a locally decided initiative as there is considerable knowledge and attachment to the islands within Lac La Biche. For more information, please see the Frequently Asked Questions and map. For further information, please feel free to contact Ms. Cara Gill, Planner, Northeast Region, at (780) 623-5435.
The public review period for the proposed island re-naming is now complete. Thank you for providing your feedback.
A decision regarding the proposal to re-name an island within Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park has not been made yet. All comments received during the public consultation are being considered before a decision is made.

In rat models, the pain never came back after stem cell injection. But in the untreated group, the pain lasted up to 22 weeks, or the length of the experimental period.
Researchers simulated two types of pain: myogenic pain (by ligating, or tying up, the masticatory muscle tendon) and neuropathic pain (by tying up the nerve on the face). Stem cells successfully reduced pain in both cases.
The next step is a clinical trial to treat recalcitrant orofacial pain.
Researchers also found that this pain suppression is in part mediated through the endogenous opioid system operated centrally (in the brain) and peripherally (at the injured site). Further mechanisms to explain how this works are now under investigation.

Donald Trump explains how he'll solve the Iran nuclear crisis: 'Persians are great negotiators'
In a Tuesday night interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Republican 2016 front-runner Donald Trump said that the United States has sent the "wrong people" to talk to the Iranians, which is why it has taken such a long time to reach a workable nuclear deal.
"We are making a terrible deal. We have the wrong people negotiating for us," said Trump, according to Mediaite.
"The Persians are great negotiators," he said. "They are laughing at the stupidity of the deal we're making on nuclear. We should double up and triple up the sanctions and have them come to us. They are making an amazing deal."
The former Reality TV star and real estate mogul wanted to know why the U.S. isn't withholding aid from Iran during the negotiations and why U.S. representatives aren't demanding that the Islamic republic release four American hostages currently being held in Iran.
"Why aren't we getting them back?" he asked.
"This negotiation should have taken a week," he went on. "That's because I'm being generous. Should have taken a day, but should have taken a week. This is going on forever."

Russian Twitter propaganda predicted 2016 US election polls
When Robert Mueller completed his long-awaited investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, he left many questions unanswered.
But one conclusion was unequivocal: Russia unleashed an extensive campaign of fake news and disinformation on social media with the aim of distorting U.S. public opinion, sowing discord and swinging the election in favor of the Republican candidate Donald Trump.
Beto O'Rourke calls for a 'war tax' in release of health care plan for veterans
The Democratic presidential candidate uses his eighth policy announcement to focus on an area that he prioritized in Congress.
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on Monday morning released a plan to improve the lives of veterans, returning to an area of priority during his time in the U.S. House for his latest 2020 policy rollout.
In keeping with measures he supported in Congress, the plan calls for a "responsible end" to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — reinvesting $1 out of every $2 saved in veterans programs — and the creation of a Veterans Health Care Trust Fund for each future war. The fund would be paid for by a "war tax" on households without service members or veterans.
Conservative Ben Shapiro tweeted something many found offensive — so now he's calling his critics 'garbage'
David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
Right wing "thought leader" Ben Shapiro appeared today to say not using the "N" word is nearly impossible as he defended conservative, pro-gun teen Kyle Kashuv, one of the Parkland survivors who just had his acceptance to Harvard rescinded over his racist remarks, which included repeated use of the "N" word.
To be clear, Shapiro denies that's what he meant.
Here is Shapiro on Twitter, in what many took as him appearing to call not using the "N" word – in Kashuv's case, repeatedly, over and over and over again, "an insane, cruel standard no one can possibly meet."
National security lawyer: Trump might 'already be in prison' if not for the DOJ policy


Natasha Gudkov Ghent's early violin and theory studies were at the Russian Conservatory in Paris where her meeting with Ivan Galamian led to later violin studies with the master pedagogue in America. Further education included the High School of Music and Art, the Juilliard School of Music, Sarah Lawrence College, and studies with John Graziano at the City University of New York. A musical setting for Mihail Lermontov's poem, The Angel, has been a life-long ambition rooted in her tri-lingual childhood. She writes, "My recently published Cantata, The Angel, through the auspices of the Hildegard Publishing Company, is dedicated to my daughter, Valerie, whose voice I knew would evoke and embody the beauty of Lermontov's Russian verse."

In this age of rapid technological advancement and emerging technologies, the adage "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" is no longer enough.
We spoke with Rob Humphries, prototype engineer, product development at Thule, the outdoor enthusiasts' company, who says it's school, AND hands-on learning that makes a successful design engineer candidate.
Are there general qualities Thule looks for in a job candidate?
We work quickly here at Thule on many simultaneous projects. Our job involves designing products for people who may not have good spatial relations and we are often called-upon to use a creative hack to get the job done. So it requires a broad skill-set.
Can you list a few of these skills that help in this hectic and exacting process?
Tenacity, a solid understanding of materials science, creativity, organization, and a solid balance of computer and hands-on skills.
Is there one skill that stands out above all others?
Being able to solve a problem on the fly.
SMART SOLUTIONS is one of Thule's guiding principles. How does this play out in your work?
In the prototyping realm, a Smart Solution is the right part for the right purpose. This requires knowledge of design, development, materials and equipment, so you can set-up and run equipment to make the part in the best way.
What can a student do outside of school to make him/herself a desirable job candidate?
Join an academic project, join a design team or do an internship. Take your technical knowledge and apply that knowledge toward a defined goal, not just solving a textbook problem.
So, you work at Thule as a Junior Design Engineer. What prepared you for this role?
I took the initiative to actually use the Model Shop in college. This quickly taught me I liked making things as opposed to working solely in CAD and renderings.
What kinds of projects did you pursue in the Model Shop?
I began creating physical representations of my ideas which was a huge step in the evolution of my thought process. It also quickly showed me I wanted to pursue additive manufacturing (3D printing) and rapid prototyping after college.
Outside school and the Model Shop, did anything else contribute to your success?
Entering competitions taught me a lot. Having to be good enough to be competitive was a good segue to working in the real world.
Did you pursue an internship while in college?
My first internship got me involved in multiple aspects of rapid prototyping. From that point forward, it's been all 3D printing for rapid prototyping for me.
Making mistakes is a solid way to learn. Don't be afraid to try; there's always something to learn from it!

Jenny McIntyre
About Jenny McIntyre
West Tisbury, MA
Jenny McIntyre's voice is delicate to the point of gauziness at times, like you could tear right through it if you accidentally placed your finger on a sound wave. It's the voice of a woman-child calling out from under the bed for all the reasons children find themselves there: fear and uncertainty, daydreams and pranks, love and mystery. Her songs seem drawn from a lifetime of diaries. They're don't tell the truth so much as they tell the tales of a full and eager heart in a world of disappointments. The songs are exercises in trying again, in pulling her chin up and readying herself for the next round of whatever doesn't go right
At her core, Jenny McIntyre is a singer-songwriter, but she steps outside of that context whenever she can. From the outset of her debut album, the shape shift is on: the acoustic guitar finds itself in a digital universe where Amy Lee meets pop tunes meets indie rocker snarkiness meets admissions of failure, asking for help and confession. On top of and through it all—that bird-song voice sings from whatever strange or spurious branches it finds itself standing on, clear, persistent, unblinking.
At her live shows, she watches you like a wild animal—shifty but fascinated, ready to dart away at the first, too-quick movement. But there's something in her method, the fragile voice and open-selved lyrics, the occasional bumbled timing with the grinning shrug that shows just how much she wants to be tamed, placed in a warm palm and held, reassured that fear isn't the dominant reality, it's just a weather pattern that can and will pass if the song and the singer just try hard enough to cuddle up against a listener's heart.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rise of the Busters
Beryl Forums :: Entertainment :: Stories
by Psychid on Mon Jan 25 2010, 02:28
Currently, I'm writing this story entitled Yu-Gi-Oh! Rise of the Busters, which is a crossover fic between Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and Total Drama Island. ...Actually, it's really not that much of a crossover fic; it's more like a 5D's fic in which most, if not all, of the characters are counterparts of actual TDI characters.
...Unoriginal of me, I know.
So far, I have written three chapters, and they're all posted on FanFiction.Net. However, when I include a new chapter, I'll only post the link of the chapter on the forum instead of copying and pasting the entire chapter here on this forum. I'm doing this because my chapters are really long, in terms of length.
Here are the first three chapters that I have written so far:
Chapter One: 2084
Chapter Two: The Femaelstrom
Chapter Three: Dueling Mel
I hope you guys enjoy these three chapters, along with any other upcoming chapters I plan to link here!

User Title : Sexiest Man Alive
Location : Behind you
Character : Bera Reborn
I know...
I got your critique, and I know that I could've made each chapter shorter. I'm sorry; I just can't help it when it comes to story length. Sorry.
But I did appreciate your critique, though.
by Psychid on Wed Feb 03 2010, 06:23
Well, since I'm kind of throwing obscure pop culture reference in this story, in which I plan on continuing to do this (XD), I thought I'd give you a little trivia about the references I include throughout each chapter. Please, enjoy!
This chapter's title is a reference to George Orwell's dystopian novel, 1984.
The introductory word, "DATELINE", is a reference to Action League Now!, in which every episode starts off with the announcer saying, "DATELINE".
Jimma and Bobba, the two duel commentators, are characters from Final Fantasy X, in which they are sports commentators for the blitzball games.
At the end of this chapter, one of Psychid's concerns was getting a review from sonicissocool112, the author of Author Fighters: Kingdom Hearts Chaos, in which he would claim that the story had major flaws, including the facts that the "writing style was really bad", everyone being "out of character", having a "ridiculous plot", an "illegal format", and "explicit spelling/grammar errors". This is both a reference and a mockery towards the fact that Author Fighters: Kingdom Hearts Chaos has the same faults as what sonicissocool112 claimed that Yu-Gi-Oh! Rise of the Busters would have.
This chapter's title is a reference to Robert W. Smith's The Maelstrom.
This chapter's title is a reference to the Australian documentary film, Chasing Mel.
The dialogue exchanged between Jasmine and Mel in which they argue about Mel "summoning a bunch of monsters in one turn" is an obvious reference to episode one of LittleKuriboh's Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Series, in which it is a running gag throughout that series.
Hope you enjoyed it, everyone!
Chapter Four Up!
by Psychid on Sat Feb 06 2010, 06:28

Q: C++ ShiftJIS to UTF8 conversion I need to convert Doublebyte characters. In my special case Shift-Jis into something better to handle, preferably with standard C++.
the following Question ended up without a workaround:
Doublebyte encodings on MSVC (std::codecvt): Lead bytes not recognized
So is there anyone with a suggestion or a reference on how to handle this conversion with C++ standard?

A: Normally I would recommend using the ICU library, but for this alone, using it is way too much overhead.
First a conversion function which takes an std::string with Shiftjis data, and returns an std::string with UTF8 (note 2019: no idea anymore if it works :))
It uses a uint8_t array of 25088 elements (25088 byte), which is used as convTable in the code. The function does not fill this variable, you have to load it from eg. a file first. The second code part below is a program that can generate the file.
The conversion function doesn't check if the input is valid ShiftJIS data.
std::string sj2utf8(const std::string &input)
{
    std::string output(3 * input.length(), ' '); //ShiftJis won't give 4byte UTF8, so max. 3 byte per input char are needed
    size_t indexInput = 0, indexOutput = 0;

    while(indexInput < input.length())
    {
        char arraySection = ((uint8_t)input[indexInput]) >> 4;

        size_t arrayOffset;
        if(arraySection == 0x8) arrayOffset = 0x100; //these are two-byte shiftjis
        else if(arraySection == 0x9) arrayOffset = 0x1100;
        else if(arraySection == 0xE) arrayOffset = 0x2100;
        else arrayOffset = 0; //this is one byte shiftjis

        //determining real array offset
        if(arrayOffset)
        {
            arrayOffset += (((uint8_t)input[indexInput]) & 0xf) << 8;
            indexInput++;
            if(indexInput >= input.length()) break;
        }
        arrayOffset += (uint8_t)input[indexInput++];
        arrayOffset <<= 1;

        //unicode number is...
        uint16_t unicodeValue = (convTable[arrayOffset] << 8) | convTable[arrayOffset + 1];

        //converting to UTF8
        if(unicodeValue < 0x80)
        {
            output[indexOutput++] = unicodeValue;
        }
        else if(unicodeValue < 0x800)
        {
            output[indexOutput++] = 0xC0 | (unicodeValue >> 6);
            output[indexOutput++] = 0x80 | (unicodeValue & 0x3f);
        }
        else
        {
            output[indexOutput++] = 0xE0 | (unicodeValue >> 12);
            output[indexOutput++] = 0x80 | ((unicodeValue & 0xfff) >> 6);
            output[indexOutput++] = 0x80 | (unicodeValue & 0x3f);
        }
    }

    output.resize(indexOutput); //remove the unnecessary bytes
    return output;
}

About the helper file: I used to have a download here, but nowadays I only know unreliable file hosters. So... either http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=95737652978017682303 works for you, or:
First download the "original" data from ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/OBSOLETE/EASTASIA/JIS/SHIFTJIS.TXT . I can't paste this here because of the length, so we have to hope at least unicode.org stays online.
Then use this program while piping/redirecting above text file in, and redirecting the binary output to a new file. (Needs a binary-safe shell, no idea if it works on Windows).
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<cstdio>

using namespace std;

// pipe SHIFTJIS.txt in and pipe to (binary) file out
int main()
{
    string s;
    uint8_t *mapping; //same bigendian array as in converting function
    mapping = new uint8_t[2*(256 + 3*256*16)];

    //initializing with space for invalid value, and then ASCII control chars
    for(size_t i = 32; i < 256 + 3*256*16; i++)
    {
        mapping[2 * i] = 0;
        mapping[2 * i + 1] = 0x20;
    }
    for(size_t i = 0; i < 32; i++)
    {
        mapping[2 * i] = 0;
        mapping[2 * i + 1] = i;
    }

    while(getline(cin, s)) //pipe the file SHIFTJIS to stdin
    {
        if(s.substr(0, 2) != "0x") continue; //comment lines

        uint16_t shiftJisValue, unicodeValue;
        if(2 != sscanf(s.c_str(), "%hx %hx", &shiftJisValue, &unicodeValue)) //getting hex values
        {
            puts("Error hex reading");
            continue;
        }

        size_t offset; //array offset
        if((shiftJisValue >> 8) == 0) offset = 0;
        else if((shiftJisValue >> 12) == 0x8) offset = 256;
        else if((shiftJisValue >> 12) == 0x9) offset = 256 + 16*256;
        else if((shiftJisValue >> 12) == 0xE) offset = 256 + 2*16*256;
        else
        {
            puts("Error input values");
            continue;
        }

        offset = 2 * (offset + (shiftJisValue & 0xfff));
        if(mapping[offset] != 0 || mapping[offset + 1] != 0x20)
        {
            puts("Error mapping not 1:1");
            continue;
        }

        mapping[offset] = unicodeValue >> 8;
        mapping[offset + 1] = unicodeValue & 0xff;
    }

    fwrite(mapping, 1, 2*(256 + 3*256*16), stdout);
    delete[] mapping;
    return 0;
}

Notes:
Two-byte big endian raw unicode values (more than two byte not necessary here)
First 256 chars (512 byte) for the single byte ShiftJIS chars, value 0x20 for invalid ones.
Then 3 * 256*16 chars for the groups 0x8???, 0x9??? and 0xE???
= 25088 byte

A: For those looking for the Shift-JIS conversion table data, you can get the uint8_t array here:
https://github.com/bucanero/apollo-ps3/blob/master/include/shiftjis.h
Also, here's a very simple function to convert basic Shift-JIS chars to ASCII:
const char SJIS_REPLACEMENT_TABLE[] =
    " ,.,..:;?!\"*'`*^"
    "-_????????*---/\\"
    "~||--''\"\"()()[]{"
    "}<><>[][][]+-+X?"
    "-==<><>????*'\"CY"
    "$c&%#&*@S*******"
    "*******T><^_'='";

//Convert Shift-JIS characters to ASCII equivalent
void sjis2ascii(char* bData)
{
    uint16_t ch;
    int i, j = 0;
    int len = strlen(bData);

    for (i = 0; i < len; i += 2)
    {
        ch = (bData[i]<<8) | bData[i+1];

        // 'A' .. 'Z'
        // '0' .. '9'
        if ((ch >= 0x8260 && ch <= 0x8279) || (ch >= 0x824F && ch <= 0x8258))
        {
            bData[j++] = (ch & 0xFF) - 0x1F;
            continue;
        }

"Off the record" admissions
On 30 July 2009 By Dr ManhattanIn Uncategorized
It's not uncommon for a suspect to disclose their involvement in an offence to investigators "off the record", but protest their innocence or make no comment when formally interviewed.
Why someone would do this is difficult to understand. It would appear far more logical for a person to approach their dealings with police with a particular strategy in mind – either to answer all questions truthfully, or to make no comment, or to present a particular version of events – and stick to that strategy throughout. But there are a sufficient number of recorded cases to confirm that these conversations do happen.
Woon v R (1964) 109 CLR 529 is an example of a case where the accused remained undecided which strategy to adopt during the formal interview itself, changing his mind repeatedly and ending up looking guilty and evasive as a result. In R v Dupas [2001] VSCA 109 the accused declined to repeat in the interview what he had said while being driven to a police station.
In Em v The Queen (2007) 232 CLR 67, the accused had indicated that he would make no comment to any questioning that was tape recorded. Several weeks after the formal recorded interview where he made no comment, police were granted warrants to secretly tape-record conversations with the accused. He knew he was talking to police and was advised that what he said could be used in evidence, but wasn't told he was being recorded. The Supreme Court allowed part of this recording to be admitted, a decision the High Court later upheld.
The High Court had earlier decided in R v Swaffield; Pavic v The Queen (1998)192 CLR 159 that courts have a broad discretion to reject evidence on the ground that unfair prejudice would result from its admission into evidence. Likewise, the effect of the impugned conduct of police is one of a number of factors to be considered in deciding whether judicial discretion to refuse to admit evidence will be exercised (though the undesirability of the conduct itself is the subject of separate consideration under the public policy discretion). In Pavic's case, the trial judge admitted the evidence. The High Court upheld that decision.
The case of Carr v Western Australia (2007) 232 CLR 107 is a recent variation on this theme.
The accused denied involvment in an armed robbery when interviewed. However, when later discussing the robbery with police in a holding area of the police station, he said things that clearly implicated himself. The accused was unaware that the area was video- and audio-recorded when he volunteered these statements. He was convicted, and while not disputing the truth of the admissions he made, it was argued on appeal that he made the statements implicating himself to, "frustrate", "tease" and "piss off" the investigators, not expecting the evidence would be used against him.
The High Court rejected the notion that an accused must consent to being videotaped before admissions could be considered voluntary.
Although the Court's reasoning centred around the interpretatation of Western Australian legislation (WA hasn't yet adopted a Uniform Evidence Act), parellels can be drawn between WA laws and those in Victoria. As Keith Chapple SC noted in his summary of the case in the NSW Bar News:
The whole circumstances of the case are a cautionary tale for any counsel offering advice to a suspect who is 'assisting with enquiries.' If a client is exercising a right to silence it should be constant when in the company of the police.
