Welcome to this special joint episode of the Hangar Z Podcast and the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, brought to you by HeliCASTS, in partnership with Valor Plus.In this special episode, Jon Gray of Hangar Z and Blake Shrider and Mike Fadale of the Valor Flight Crew, preview the 2026 ECHO Public Safety Aviation Conference.High-quality public safety aviation training doesn't need a massive price tag. The 2026 ECHO Public Safety Aviation Conference is heading to Philadelphia Sept. 20 to 23 at the Sheraton Downtown.ECHO covers the full mission spectrum law enforcement aviation, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), search-and-rescue, and aerial firefighting.This year features over 50 breakout sessions, hands-on workshops like underwater egress and cadaver labs, and a dedicated 16-hour Airborne Tactical Solutions course jointly taught by Clay Lacey and Jack Schonely for aircrews and ground teams.It's practical, high-impact training—built by operators, for operators, and delivered at a price point agencies can support.This conversation breaks down why ECHO stands apart: Operator-built training, real-world relevance, and a rare chance to learn across every mission set under one roof. From law enforcement aviation and search-and-rescue to aerial firefighting, EMS, and tactical operations, ECHO is designed for crews who want practical skills they can use back home.You'll discover:What makes the Clay Lacey and Jack Shonely airborne tactical solutions course such a can't-miss opportunity;How the breakout sessions expand into law enforcement, SAR, radio ops, human performance, leadership, and more;Why the Future Flight Crew and Future Flight Leaders programs are becoming a pipeline for the next generation of aviation professionals; andHow FAST and the Safety Team are changing the way the industry supports crew wellness, resilience, and operational safety.The conversation also covers the social side of ECHO in Philadelphia, including the welcome party, the 5K fundraiser, the down-for-weather bash, and why the city itself is worth an extra day or two. If you've never been to Philly, you'll get a few solid reasons to plan for more than conference hours—and maybe a cheesesteak or two.Just as important, this episode makes the stakes clear: Public safety aviation is evolving fast, leadership gaps are real, and the industry needs better training, better mentorship, and better ways to take care of its people. ECHO is one of the few places where all of that comes together in a single week.Essential listening if you're deciding whether to attend, bringing your team, or just want a clear picture of why so many crews call ECHO their favorite conference of the year.Thank you to our sponsors CNC Technologies, Dallas Avionics and Metro Aviation.

John Byrne is joined by Sarah Beth Felix, author of Dirty Money Weekly, for their monthly conversation on financial crime developments. They start with FinCEN's final rule ending Corporate Transparency Act reporting and what it means in practice: the detection burden for shell companies shifts back to financial institutions, the CDD rule remains in force, and beneficial ownership data belongs in SAR backup documentation to support law enforcement. Sarah Beth shares practical red flags for spotting shell companies, from formation mill documents to companies with no online presence and unexplained revenue. The conversation then turns to the Wise enforcement action and why a clean exam history is the wrong benchmark for a compliance program, including the OCC's pointed finding that leadership lacked financial crime expertise at the board level. They also discuss the Capital One litigation and the safety risks of demands to identify individual investigators, and close on the operational obstacles AML teams face in responding to the executive order on credit risk and illegal immigration, where citizenship indicators are buried across lending and deposit systems that financial crime teams rarely see.

This week on This Week in AML, John Byrne and Elliot Berman examine FinCEN's record-setting $125 million enforcement action against UBS, the largest civil money penalty ever imposed against a broker-dealer for Bank Secrecy Act violations. They discuss what made the case significant, the consequences of repeated compliance failures, and the lessons financial institutions should take from the enforcement action. The conversation also covers FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki's departure for Citibank and what the appointment of Acting Director Jenna Casanova could mean for future enforcement priorities. John and Elliot then explore Senator Ron Wyden's report on financial institutions' handling of Jeffrey Epstein-related accounts, including proposed changes to suspicious activity reporting requirements and concerns about SAR confidentiality. They also review Capital One's defense of account closures tied to AML obligations and the broader debate surrounding claims of "debanking." Internationally, the hosts discuss the FCA's planned overhaul of transaction reporting requirements in the UK, ongoing challenges in accessing beneficial ownership registries across the European Union, and Transparency International's push for stronger global anti-corruption measures.

Il nome di Stefania Auci è legato alla saga dei Florio. Nei romanzi "I leoni di Sicilia", libro più venduto in Italia nel 2019, e poi "L'inverno dei leoni", aveva narrato la parabola della famiglia Florio, arrivata a Palermo dalla Calabria a cavallo fra il '700 e l'800. L'ascesa, il successo commerciale, le vicende personali e poi la caduta. Ora il romanzo "L'alba dei leoni" (Nord) racconta le vicende dei Florio prima del trasferimento in Sicilia. Siamo, dunque, fra il 1772 e il 1799 a Bagnara Calabra. Ci sono Vincenzo Florio, fabbro, e la moglie Rosa con i vari figli, fra cui c'è Francesco, considerato il ribelle perché non vuole fare lo stesso mestiere del padre. Viene rapito da una banda di briganti ed è costretto a stare con loro per diversi mesi. La vita di stenti, la violenza, la paura, ma sempre il costante desiderio di essere artefice del proprio destino. C'è poi il terremoto del 1783 che distrugge quasi completamente Bagnara, infine il focus si sposta su un altro personaggio, Paolo, che come il fratello Francesco non vuole fare il fabbro ma vorrebbe andare per mare. Sarà lui, insieme al fratello Ignazio, ad andare poi a Palermo, avviare l'aromateria e dare inizio alla storia imprenditoriale dei Florio. Questo è dunque un prequel de "I leoni di Sicilia", ma è soprattutto la storia di due ragazzi, Francesco e Paolo, che vogliono segnare il proprio destino, ribellandosi alle imposizioni del padre. Ed è anche la storia di tante donne che alla fine del '700 vivono una condizione di sottomissione e silenzio, in cui si inserisce qualche raro tentativo di indipendenza.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. -------------------- 01 Introduction In a response to a post on a previous episode, I said that I would take a look at ID3 tags. ID3 tags are text information that is added to an MP3 audio file, such as the author, date, name, and other information. 02 While I am at it I will also look at Vorbis comments, which perform a similar function for vorbis, the container format for "ogg" audio files. As example audio files, I will use a recent HPR episode, hpr4678 in both mp3 and vorbis formats plus also one from another podcast as well. 03 There is Free Software which you can use to view, edit, or remove both types of tags or comments, and I will describe how to use it in this episode. 04 I will cover how to view tags and extract the text information, as well as how to strip the tags from a file and why you may wish to do so under certain very specific circumstances. I won't cover how to add to or edit tags in an MP3 or OGG file, as that is a more involved subject that I don't have much experience with. 05 I will mainly talk about ID3 MP3 tags rather than vorbis comments for the simple reason that the situation with MP3 files is an utter mess while vorbis comments are very straightforward and so there isn't as much to say about them. 06 As often happens when researching a subject to write a podcast script, I have learned quite a bit that I didn't know previously, and discovered that things that I thought I did know were wrong. I hope that you may learn a few things from this episode that you didn't know previously either. -------------------- 07 Background I won't go over the detailed history of ID3 tags, as I don't have a reliable source for this. Briefly however, so far as I can determine, there is no official independent standard for ID3 tags or vorbis comments. Both seem to be more in the nature of a convention that was created by an unofficial group of contributors rather than something issued by a standards body. 08 However, I don't see the lack of a conventional standards body as necessarily a problem with respect to the use of ID3 tags or vorbis comments. I just am not familiar enough with the industry to know who to regard as being an authoritative source when it comes to the history and development of them Since I am unsure as who to credit with what developments, I will avoid that sort of detail. 09 ID3 Tags There is a web site with the URL of ID3.org that seems to have the best reference material on the topic of ID3 tags. According to this site, the term "ID3" means "IDentify an MP3". 10 Vorbis Comments For vorbis, the reference site seems to be xiph.org. Although the implementation details may differ from ID3, from our perspective as podcast listeners, they can be seen as more or less equivalent in terms of what I am going to address here. -------------------- 11 ID3 Details Versions One of the problems with ID3 is that there are multiple incompatible versions, particularly from the very early days. ID3v1 tags are located at the end of the audio file in the last 128 bytes. This was done for compatibility reasons to allow early MP3 players to simply ignore the tags if they didn't know how to deal with them. The tags would simply appear as a short burst of static from the perspective of these early players. 12 ID3v2 moved the tags to the start of the MP3 file to allow players to scan the tags for information such as titles without having to read to the end of the file to find them. There are far fewer limits on the amount of information that can be placed in ID3v2 tags. 13 ID3v1 is obsolete and only very old players will require it. However, it is still used by some publishers for backward compatibility reasons. ID3v1 included numerical musical "genre" category codes which apparently turned out to be a very bad idea in practice. 14 Furthermore, all genre categories above 70 were defined by an audio software company called Nullsoft who created software such as Winamp. These codes were never actually part of the ID3 standard, although there was never really a standard to begin with. 15 The current ID3 version is 2.3. There is a version 2.4, but apparently it is not actually generally accepted and may be a developmental dead end. 16 The id3.org web site contains a copy of the ID3v2.3 standard, but I am not going to address the technical details here. This would only be of interest to someone who was creating software to read and write ID3 tags. 17 ID3v2 Frames The ID3v2 information is encoded into what are called "frames". The text information is contained in text information frames. 18 Text information frames start with a set of four character identifiers, all starting with the capital letter 'T'. Examples "TALB" is the "Album/Movie/Show title" frame. "TIT2" is the "Title/Songname/Content description" frame. "TYER" is the "Year" frame. There are many more, but I won't go into more detail here. 19 HPR ID3 Tags HPR makes an interesting case study because they use both ID3v1 and ID3v2 in the same file. This can cause some interesting problems with software that tries to read those tags. This is because most software appears to expect one or the other, but not both. However, so long as this does not cause problems with anything that actually plays the files, this is not a problem so far as people who just want to listen to podcasts are concerned. It does mean though that we have more to talk about than we would otherwise would have had. -------------------- 20 Vorbis Comment Fields The situation with Vorbis comments is much simpler, as there seems to be just one standard that was adhered to from the start rather than a succession of hacks. Information is stored in "fields", which xiph describes as being like Unix environment variables. These consist of a field name followed by an equal sign and then the information intended for that field. Field names are case insensitive. 21 The field names are not firmly defined at this stage, but there is a list of recommended names. Examples are "TITLE" is the Track or Work name. "ARTIST" is the person responsible for the work. "LICENSE" is the license information. 22 You can see the complete list for yourself on the comment field and header specification page at xiph.org -------------------- 23 Software for Listing, Adding, and Modifying Tags and Fields There are three software packages that I will now describe which allow you to list, add, modify, and remove tags and fields. There are other packages which can do the same, including some which offer a GUI interface. However, I will limit myself to describing these three. The principles should be the same for others. 24 ffprobe ffprobe is part of the ffmpeg package. If you have listened to my previous episodes on audio, you will have heard me talk about ffmpeg. ffprobe is used to display information about media files rather than for modifying them. ffprobe is licensed under the GPLv2 or later. ffprobe can be used to display information about both MP3 and OGG Vorbis files. 25 ID3v2 The next is the rather aptly named id3v2 and works with MP3 files. On Linux systems, this should be provided by the id3v2 package. On Debian derivatives this can be installed as follows sudo apt install id3v2 26 This also installs a man page which provides a brief list of the options. According to the README file in the source tarball, this is published under the LGPL ID3v2 is particularly useful for displaying ID3v1 tags. 27 vorbiscomment The third is "vorbiscomment" and works with OGG files. On Linux systems this should be provided by the "vorbis-tools" package. On Debian derivatives this can be installed as follows sudo apt install vorbis-tools 28 The vorbiscomment program is used to list or edit comments in Ogg Vorbis files. This also installs a man page which provides a brief list of the options. According to the license.lgpl file in the source tarball, this is published under the LGPL version2. 29 The display format for vorbiscomment follows the data definition format in the vorbis standard, whereas ffprobe re-formats it to match its own preferred appearance. -------------------- 30 Examples from HPR With the background out of the way, I will now give several examples of how to list the tags or fields. 31 Listing ID3v1 Tags As previously mentioned HPR uses both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in the same file. However, so far as I can tell, most software seems to look for ID3v2 tags first, and don't display the ID3v1 tags if both are present. 32 The ID3v2 program however seems to do the opposite, at least with HPR podcasts. However, the number of samples that I have which have both are rather limited, so I can't be sure if this is always the case or if this is a side effect of something else. I did mention that ID3 tags were a mess, didn't I? 33 Let's go on to our example however. If we want to see the ID3v1 tags, then using hpr4678 as an example, if we type id3v2 -l hpr4678.mp3 = we get the following result. 34 id3v1 tag info for hpr4678.mp3: Title : High Resolution Elapsed Time i Artist: Whiskeyjack Album : Hacker Public Radio Year: 2026, Genre: Unknown (186) Comment: https://hackerpublicradio.or Track: 0 hpr4678.mp3: No ID3v2 tag 35 The first line tells us that this information is ID3v1 tags. The last line tells us that there are no ID3v2 tags. This last line is incorrect, but we will come back to that later. 36 In between are three lines of text. The first line contains the title and the artist. The title is the name of the HPR episode, or at least part of it. The artist is the HPR contributor who made that episode. 37 The second line contains the album name, the year, and the genre. The album name is this case is simply Hacker Public Radio, as the concept of an album doesn't really fit a podcast. The year is the year that the episode was recorded, or at least the year in which the MP3 file was assembled with the HPR intro and the tags added. 38 The genre is listed as "unknown 186". Recall that with ID3v1 tags there is a one byte numeric genre code, but that no genres above 70 were ever officially assigned. It seems to be a general convention though to use a code 186 for podcasts. 39 The third line contain a comment and track number. The comment in this case is the HPR web site URL. The track is zero. "Track" would appear to serve no useful purpose in this instance. However, it may be there for reasons of compatibility that I am unaware of, so I would be very reluctant to remove that without very good reason. 40 If we look at the above information in detail we can see that two of the tags appear to have cut their text information off short. The title is cut off in mid word after the 30th character. The final "g" in "hackerpublicradio.org" is cut off in the comment. 41 Alternative Method for ID3v1 We can confirm whether the text being cut short is due to a problem with the id3v2 program, or whether it really represents the data in the file by using a rather simple check. 42 Recall that ID3v1 tags are simply the last 128 bytes of the MP3 file. All we need to do is to extract the last 128 bytes of the file. We can do this using the standard tail command. tail -c128 hpr4678.mp3 | tr '' ' ' | tr -c '[:print:]' 'x' 43 The -c128 option used with tail tells it to extract the last 128 bytes of the file. We then pass the result through the "tr" command and tell it to replace null bytes with new line characters. Then we replace any remaining non-printable characters with an 'x'. When we do that we get the following 44 TAGHigh Resolution Elapsed Time iWhiskeyjack Hacker Public Radio 2026https://hackerpublicradio.or x 45 The first three characters are capital TAG. This is a flag which indicates that what follows are ID3 tags. 46 Next, we have 30 characters which specify the title. The next 30 characters specify the artist. The next 30 characters are the album, or in this case just "Hacker Public Radio". The next 4 characters are the year. The next 30 characters are a comment, or in this case the HPR URL, except for the final "g". The last character is the genre code, which we have replaced with an "x" because it is otherwise non-printable. 47 Taken together, these add up to 128 bytes. We can see that the field lengths are of fixed length with pre-defined meanings based on position. -------------------- 48 ID3v2 Using ffprobe Now lets move on to ID3v2 tags, which is probably more useful for most people. For this, we will switch to using ffprobe. The command for this is ffprobe -hide_banner hpr4678.mp3 The -hide_banner option suppresses extra data about the codecs which doesn't interest us much and leaves mainly the tag information plus a few other things. 49 The output gives us the full data that is associated with the podcast episode from the HPR web site. This includes the episode number, year, full title, author, license, and full summary text. You can see a full copy of this in the show notes. Input #0, mp3, from 'hpr4678.mp3': Metadata: track : 4678 year : 2026 title : High Resolution Elapsed Time in Shell Scripts author : Whiskeyjack copyright : CC-BY-SA artist : Whiskeyjack album : Hacker Public Radio comment : https://hackerpublicradio.org Clean; Surprises encountered when measuring elapsed time in shell scripts The license is CC-BY-SA genre : Podcast encoder : Lavf61.7.103 date : 2026 Duration: 00:30:10.18, start: 0.023021, bitrate: 64 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 48000 Hz, mono, fltp, 64 kb/s 50 The ID3v2 tag version contains all of the information which was provided by the author, including the full title and description without the 30 character limit of ID3V1. If you want any of this information for some reason you should be able to extract it from the MP3 file using a combination of ffprobe, grep, and cut rather than trying to scrape the HPR web site and matching it to the MP3 later. -------------------- 51 ID3v1 Using ffprobe I previously mentioned that HPR MP3 files have both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in the same file, and that ffprobe will default to using ID3v2 tags if present. However, what happens if we remove the ID3v2 tags and leave the ID3v1 tags? I will describe how to strip tags later on in this episode, but let's just assume for now that I have done this. If we then use ffprobe to read the ID3 tags using the same command as before, we get the following output. 52 We get a series of lines in the same format as with ID3v2, but with each data element limited to at most 30 bytes. These include title, artist, album, date, comment, and genre. You can see the full output in the show notes. Input #0, mp3, from 'test.mp3': Metadata: title : High Resolution Elapsed Time i artist : Whiskeyjack album : Hacker Public Radio date : 2026 comment : https://hackerpublicradio.or genre : Podcast Duration: 00:30:10.18, start: 0.023021, bitrate: 64 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 48000 Hz, mono, fltp, 64 kb/s 53 The information is the same as when read by the id3v2 program, but formatted for display in the manner that ffprobe uses. This shows that ffprobe can indeed read ID3v1 tags if they are the only ones present. -------------------- 54 Reading Vorbis Comments Now let us turn our attention to vorbis comments, which are the equivalent to tags for ogg files. We will look at this using two methods. 55 Using vorbiscomment The first method we will look at is using the vorbiscomment package. The command is vorbiscomment -l hpr4678.ogg 56 The output of this is a series of lines with key value pairs separated by equal signs. The output is also exactly the same as the MP3 file, except that there is an additional "language" field, "track" becomes "TRACKNUMBER", and there is no "date" field. You can see the full output in the show notes. encoder=Lavc61.19.101 libvorbis TRACKNUMBER=4678 year=2026 language=English title=High Resolution Elapsed Time in Shell Scripts author=Whiskeyjack copyright=CC-BY-SA artist=Whiskeyjack album=Hacker Public Radio DESCRIPTION=https://hackerpublicradio.org Clean; Surprises encountered when measuring elapsed time in shell scripts The license is CC-BY-SA genre=Podcast 57 Using ffprobe Now lets do the same again using ffprobe. The command for this is ffprobe -hide_banner hpr4678.ogg 58 The output content is the same of course, but the field names have all been forced to lower case, and instead of an equal sign as a separator between the key and value, this has been replaced by a colon and white space has been added to make the output look a bit nicer. You can see the full output in the show notes. Input #0, ogg, from 'hpr4678.ogg': Duration: 00:30:10.14, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 86 kb/s Stream #0:0(English): Audio: vorbis, 192000 Hz, mono, fltp, 4294967 kb/s Metadata: encoder : Lavc61.19.101 libvorbis track : 4678 year : 2026 title : High Resolution Elapsed Time in Shell Scripts author : Whiskeyjack copyright : CC-BY-SA artist : Whiskeyjack album : Hacker Public Radio comment : https://hackerpublicradio.org Clean; Surprises encountered when measuring elapsed time in shell scripts The license is CC-BY-SA genre : Podcast -------------------- 59 Another Example from Another Podcast The above is interesting, but it's a sample of one podcast. Let's look at another different one altogether. For this test I used two episodes of the Linux Matters podcast, episodes 68 and 82. As to why I am using two different episodes I will explain in a moment. 60 Episode 68 We will start with examining episode 68 Using id3v2 The command using id3v2 is id3v2 -l LMP68.mp3 61 This provides output as a series of lines containing the official 4 character identifiers from the standard, a description of the identifiers, and the text provided by the authors. The identifiers include TIT2 indicating title, TALB indicating show title, TRCK indicating track number, and a number of others. You can see the full output in the show notes. id3v2 tag info for LMP68.mp3: TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): 68: Frameworks, Filesystems and Fixes TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Linux Matters TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): Linux Matters TYER (Year): 2025 TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 68 COMM (Comments): ()[]: https://linuxmatters.sh/ APIC (Attached picture): (LMP-3000-moon.jpg)[, 3]: image/jpeg, 554576 bytes LMP68.mp3: No ID3v1 tag 62 From this we can see what the id3v2 program would normally do with ID3v2 tags. Note that it outputs the actual 4 character identifiers, plus a description of what they mean, and then the actual data. This helps when trying to understand the actual encoding of the data. 63 Using ffprobe Now let's try that with ffprobe. The command is ffprobe -hide_banner LMP68.mp3 64 This provides the same publisher provided data as before. However it does not display the 4 character identifiers but instead uses its own format for display. Also note in both cases that there is a picture embedded in the MP3 file which is used to generate an icon for display in your file manager. With ffprobe this results in there being two keys called "title" and two keys called "comment". This makes grepping for the metadata more complicated, but it should still be possible. You can see the full output in the show notes. Input #0, mp3, from 'LMP68.mp3': Metadata: title : 68: Frameworks, Filesystems and Fixes artist : Linux Matters album : Linux Matters comment : https://linuxmatters.sh/ track : 68 date : 2025 Duration: 00:28:12.45, start: 0.025056, bitrate: 114 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, mono, fltp, 112 kb/s Metadata: encoder : LAME3.100 Stream #0:1: Video: mjpeg (Progressive), yuvj444p(pc, bt470bg/unknown/unknown), 4166x4166 [SAR 72:72 DAR 1:1], 90k tbr, 90k tbn (attached pic) Metadata: title : LMP-3000-moon.jpg comment : Cover (front) 65 Episode 82 Now lets try that again with a different episode, 82. Using id3v2 The command for id3v2 is id3v2 -l LMP82.mp3 This results in id3v2 saying LMP82.mp3: No ID3 tag What happened here? 66 Using ffprobe Let's try that again with ffprobe. The command ffprobe -hide_banner LMP82.mp3 provides the expected output. Input #0, mp3, from 'LMP82.mp3': Metadata: date : 2026-05 title : 82: Ditching Grammarly for Open Sauce album : Linux Matters track : 82 artist : Linux Matters comment : https://linuxmatters.sh Duration: 00:33:37.83, start: 0.025056, bitrate: 113 kb/s Stream #0:0: Audio: mp3, 44100 Hz, mono, fltp, 112 kb/s Stream #0:1: Video: png, rgb24(pc, gbr/unknown/unknown), 3000x3000, 90k tbr, 90k tbn (attached pic) Metadata: title : Linux Matters Logo comment : Cover (front) 67 This results in a few minor changes from episode 68, but otherwise it looks the same. So there are ID3 tags, but for some reason id3v2 couldn't recognize them. A bit more research and experimentation shows that this change appears to have happened right after episode 68, when they changed hosting and processing arrangements. I suspect that something changed with respect to the ID3v2 tag formatting somewhere along the way in the change over, and this in turn has affected the ability of the id3v2 program to recognize the tags. I will come back to the implications of this later in my conclusions. -------------------- 68 Stripping ID3 Tags Now let's turn to a differen topic. Stripping ID3 tags refers to removing the ID3 tags from the audio file. I will start off by emphasizing that normally, you don't want to do this. You should only be doing it if you suspect the ID3 tags are causing a problem with the playback or ordering of the files. 69 In my case I do it when I have problems with my MP3 player when playing certain podcasts. This MP3 player orders files according to ID3 tags rather than by file name. This can result in the podcasts being played in an unpredictable order which I find undesirable. This is particularly a problem with podcasts from certain publishers where the title data does not follow any consistent pattern, but is whatever someone felt like doing that day. 70 I also often have to normalize the files from the same publishers to get a consistent audio loudness. See my series on Simple Podcasting for information on how to use ffmpeg to normalize the audio loudness. The solution to the inconsistent tag formats in these cases is to simply strip the ID3 tags altogether. The player then falls back on using the file names, and I can readily rename the files to a consistent format. I have never had these sorts of problems with HPR podcasts. If you are not having any problems of this nature, then as I said, don't bother stripping the tags. 71 To strip the ID3 tags from an MP3 file use the following. id3v2 -D hpr4678.mp3 id3v2 will strip the tags and overwrite the existing file. If you wish to keep a copy with the tags, be sure to keep a backup before you try things. 72 When it comes to stripping tags, the options are "-s" deletes ID3v1 tags. "-d" deletes ID3v2 tags. "-D" deletes both v1 and v2 tags. -------------------- 73 Conclusions In this episode we took a very brief look at ID3 tags and vorbis comments and ways of reading them. 74 ID3 tags and Vorbis comments provide a means of allowing information about an MP3 or OGG Vorbis file to be embedded in the file itself. Podcast publishers very often use this to label the file with information such as title, publisher, and author. We can read this information using Fee Software tools such as ffprobe, ID3v2, and vorbiscomment. 75 ID3 tags seem to be a mess with more than one incompatible versions, and difficulties in reading them even within the same version. They are difficult to test for because there is so much hardware out there of varying ages, much of which you will never have heard of let alone had access to. If you are recording episodes for HPR you do not have to worry about this, as HPR will do this behind the scenes for you. However, if you are responsible for producing a podcast or other similar audio and you have a setup that works, it is probably best not to change anything without good reason. 76 Vorbis comments seem to be much less of a problem. However, there are far fewer devices which can play OGG files compared to MP3, so simply switching to OGG may not be a realistic solution to the ID3 tag problem. 77 If you wish to have one tool that can read ID3 tags of all sorts and vorbis comments, then ffprobe is your obvious choice. 78 The ID3v2 program will provide more information about the ID3 tags, including the actual identifiers used. However, it does not work in all cases. 79 The vorbiscomment program will read Vorbis comments from OGG files in a manner which is closer to the actual vorbis format than ffprobe does, which uses its own display format. 80 HPR includes both ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags in its MP3 files. ffprobe can be used to read the ID3v2 tags, and the id3v2 program can be used to read the ID3v1 tags. You can also read the ID3v1 tags using the tail command. 81 I have barely scratched the surface of this subject and have not talked at all about creating tags or comments. If anyone else would like to take up the challenge of providing more detail, or of correcting any mistakes that have made, please send in a podcast episode on the subject. If you have any comments you would like to make, leave them in the comment section below this episode on the HPR web site. 82 I hope to see you all again in future in another episode of HPR. -------------------- References https://id3.org/Introduction https://www.xiph.org/ https://wiki.xiph.org/VorbisComment -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss a newly issued FinCEN consent order sanctioning UBS Financial Services, the U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary of UBS. It is a $125 million penalty, the largest FinCEN fine against a broker-dealer, for extensive anti-money laundering failures. They highlight weak transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting (SAR) processes, poor customer due diligence, inadequate wire-transfer data collection, and data governance gaps that led to under-reporting and hindered FinCEN's ability to build a complete money-laundering picture. The order notes UBS failed to monitor more than 50,000 foreign-currency wires totaling over $10 billion and did not disclose ongoing deficiencies discovered after a 2018 $14 million FinCEN action requiring fixes by 2021, with problems traceable back to 2004 and not addressed until 2023. They frame the matter as a tone-at-the-top and resourcing failure, compare it to other enforcement actions (including a recent SEC fine against Merrill Lynch), and suggest a future deeper dive after reviewing the full order.

L'intelligenza artificiale rende tutto più facile. Ma ciò che diventa più facile da produrre diventa anche più facile da imparare?In questa puntata speciale di Intelligenze Emergenti, Claudio Ricci parte da una storia personale:una penna biro portata a scuola negli anni Cinquanta e vietata perché considerata una scorciatoia rispetto agli strumenti tradizionali.Da quella vicenda prende forma una riflessione più ampia sul rapporto tra tecnologia, istruzione e apprendimento.Dalla calcolatrice al computer, da Internet a Wikipedia, ogni nuova tecnologia è stata inizialmente percepita come una minaccia alle competenze umane. L'intelligenza artificiale presenta però una differenza sostanziale: non si limita a facilitare un'attività, ma può produrre direttamente testi, argomentazioni, codice, immagini e risposte prima ancora che chi la utilizza abbia sviluppato le capacità necessarie per valutarli.La domanda non è quindi soltanto se l'AI debba entrare nelle scuole e nelle università.La domanda è:quando deve essere utilizzata, per fare che cosa e dopo aver costruito quali competenze?Nella puntata analizziamo:• Perché non tutta la fatica è inutile e non tutta la facilità rappresenta un progresso.• Cosa ci insegnano i precedenti della penna biro, della calcolatrice, del computer e di Wikipedia.• Perché alcune difficoltà sono necessarie alla costruzione della conoscenza.• Come distinguere l'attrito che consuma tempo dalla fatica che sviluppa capacità.• Il modello dei tre ambienti formativi: imparare senza l'AI, con l'AI e sull'AI.• Come ripensare verifiche, esami e percorsi educativi nell'epoca dei sistemi generativi.La scuola migliore non sarà quella che riuscirà a tenere l'intelligenza artificiale fuori dalle aule.E non sarà nemmeno quella che la inserirà ovunque soltanto per apparire moderna.Sarà quella capace di insegnare agli studenti a utilizzare strumenti potentissimi senza diventare incapaci di pensare in loro assenza.Una puntata speciale dedicata a insegnanti, studenti, genitori, professionisti e decisori che vogliono comprendere come l'intelligenza artificiale stia cambiando non soltanto il modo in cui produciamo, ma anche il modo in cui impariamo.La puntata è a cura di Claudio Ricci, Amministratore Unico di Recomb, realtà specializzata nel fornire aggiornamenti personalizzati alle organizzazioni orientate all'innovazione sugli sviluppi dell'intelligenza artificiale, oltre a offrire corsi di aggiornamento professionale.Per maggiori informazioni: info@recomb.aiVuoi approfondire ogni settimana questi temi?Iscriviti anche alla newsletter di Claudio Ricci per ricevere analisi, scenari e approfondimenti strategici dedicati all'evoluzione dell'intelligenza artificiale.

Join Chris Winquist, Co-Founder and CEO of Groundhawk, for a compelling look at the digitization of critical physical infrastructure. Infrastructure construction remains one of the world's least digitized sectors, where billions of dollars in underground assets—like fiber optic conduits and power lines—are still documented using paper maps, hand scribbles, or delayed post-backfill estimates. Drawing from his career spanning McKinsey, Nokia, radar satellite unicorn ICEYE, and Groundhawk, Chris breaks down how AI-powered spatial intelligence and smartphone 3D photogrammetry allow field crews to capture centimeter-accurate 3D as-built data while trenches are open, solving a decades-old mapping challenge before the dirt goes back in.

L’11 gennaio 2001 la questura di Milano riceve una letteraanonima: “Vogliamo 12 miliardi, altrimenti uccideremo delle persone a caso in qualsiasi città. Sarà un bagno di sangue”.

Bruno IalunaGIOTTO ERA IL NONNO BANKSYSiamo al mondo per lasciare un segnoMo.C.A. (Montecatini Terme Contemporary Art)fino al 2 maggio 2027  Lasciare un segno è uno dei gesti più antichi e profondi dell'esperienza umana.Un atto che attraversa la storia e trasforma lo spazio in racconto. Questa lunga storia, fatta di tracce, scritture e immagini nello spazio pubblico, è al centro di Giotto era il nonno di Banksy. Siamo al mondo per lasciare un segno, la grande mostra che racconta la nascita e lo sviluppo dell'arte urbana, dalle origini preistoriche ai protagonisti della scena internazionale.In programma al Mo.C.A. (Montecatini Terme Contemporary Art) di Montecatini Terme dal 29 giugno 2026 al 2 maggio 2027, l'esposizione, è a cura di Bruno Ialuna e si configura come un viaggio immersivo che attraversa oltre 60.000 anni di storia, mettendo in relazione le prime forme di espressione umana con i linguaggi visivi che oggi abitano le città di tutto il mondo. Giotto era il nonno di Banksy è un progetto di Mare Laboratorio di innovazione sociale ed ha il patrocinio della Provincia di Pistoia e della Regione Toscana. Il percorso prende avvio da una considerazione semplice e universale: l'arte pubblica non nasce nel Novecento, ma affonda le proprie radici in un bisogno ancestrale. Dalle pitture rupestri alle incisioni della Val Camonica, dai graffiti di Pompei fino alle scritte sui muri delle metropoli contemporanee, lasciare un segno nello spazio condiviso è un gesto che attraversa epoche, culture e continenti. Il titolo della mostra richiama un filo invisibile che attraversa i secoli: se oggi Banksy incarna la street art nel mondo, già Giotto mostrava come l'immagine potesse parlare a tutti, trasformando muri e spazi pubblici in strumenti di comunicazione collettiva. L'esposizione si sviluppa in più sezioni, costruite come ambienti narrativi capaci di restituire contesti, atmosfere e trasformazioni del linguaggio urbano. Il cuore del percorso è dedicato alla nascita del writing nella New York degli anni Sessanta, Settanta e Ottanta, con testimonianze dei pionieri TAKI 183, Jec*, Sjk 171, Mike 171, Riff170, Snake1, Stay High149, Coco144, fino a protagonisti fondamentali come Quik, Iz The Wiz, Lady Pink, Toxic, Delta2, Sar e Zephyr. Una scenografia immersiva, firmata dal Maestro della cartapesta Jacopo Allegrucci, ricostruisce l'impatto visivo della metropolitana newyorkese, restituendo al visitatore il contesto originario di questa rivoluzione artistica. Il percorso si amplia poi alla dimensione internazionale del fenomeno, attraverso artisti che, dal secondo dopoguerra, hanno sviluppato linguaggi urbani in contesti differenti: da Cornbread a Blek Le Rat, da Harald Naegeli a Hector Carrasco, a Mick La Rock, in un dialogo tra esperienze nate a Philadelphia, Parigi, Zurigo, Santiago del Cile e Amsterdam. Un focus specifico è dedicato alla scena di Bristol, con figure come Robert Del Naja e Nick Walker, fino all'affermazione di Banksy, che ha contribuito a ridefinire il ruolo e la percezione pubblica della street art in Europa. Una sezione centrale racconta il passaggio decisivo degli anni Ottanta, quando l'arte urbana entra nei circuiti istituzionali, conquistando gallerie e musei. Opere d'arte, fotografie, materiali rari e documenti originali sono testimoni di quel periodo, e della nascita della Graffiti Hall Of Fame di Harlem e della storica 51X Gallery di St Marks Place. La mostra dedica inoltre ampio spazio alle connessioni tra arte urbana, musica e cinema, con riferimenti ai film cult Wild Style e Style Wars, e a materiali legati alla cultura hip hop, tra vinili, fotografie e testimonianze d'epoca. Il percorso si conclude con una sezione dedicata alla scena italiana, dai pionieri degli anni Ottanta fino agli artisti contemporanei più riconosciuti a livello internazionale. Tra questi Flycat, Francesco Garbelli, Alice Pasquini, Maupal, Diavù, Blub, affiancati da importanti presenze della scena mondiale, con lavori che giungeranno da tutti e cinque i continenti. Giotto era il nonno di Banksy si propone così non solo come una grande ricognizione storica, ma come una riflessione sul rapporto tra individuo e spazio pubblico, tra espressione personale e dimensione collettiva, restituendo all'arte urbana la sua profondità culturale e la sua continuità nel tempo.  InformazioniGiotto era il nonno di BanksySiamo al mondo per lasciare un segnoMo.C.A.

In this episode of This Week in AML, John Byrne and Elliot Berman unpack several significant developments across the AML, sanctions, fraud, and compliance landscape. They begin with the U.S. Senate's overwhelming bipartisan vote to advance new Russia and Iran sanctions legislation, then turn to FinCEN Director Andrea Gacki's recent congressional testimony, including her emphasis on fraud prevention, BSA modernization, SAR guidance, and the industry's ongoing uncertainty about AML priorities and effectiveness standards. The conversation also explores Transparency International's 2025 achievements in advancing anti-corruption reforms worldwide and raises important questions about whether corruption will remain a formal U.S. AML priority. John and Elliot review FinCEN's new alert on financial student aid fraud, discuss the continued role of shell companies in fraud schemes, and examine a House Financial Services Committee report on scams and fraud. Additional topics include Treasury's review of the SDN List, the growing industry around sanctions delisting petitions, the closure of crypto exchange BitMEX despite presidential pardons for its founders, the OCC's denial of Wise US's national trust charter application due to AML compliance concerns, and new reporting linking crypto-to-cash storefronts to money laundering activity.

For a long time, financial crime prevention has been a massive issue for banks. This is because of several often complex navigation around rules and regulations, such as AML, KYC, CTF, and SAR. However, a bigger issue has emerged. As more and more transactions happen and financial crime networks get smarter, the bigger problem is the way banks handle data.In the recent conversation on the Don't Panic It's Just Data podcast, host Herb Blecher, Research Director, Data and Analytics, Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), sat down with guest Manish Andhy, Financial Services AI & Industry Executive at Teradata.They talked about how criminal enterprises are changing fast, like the internet, while compliance systems are still using old methods. Andhy tells Blecher, "The difference between how fast criminals can change and how slow compliance systems are is a big weakness."More than $3 trillion in money moves through the global financial system every year, but only a small part of it is caught. Banks have spent a lot of time and money building systems to stop money laundering. Many of them still have separate systems for onboarding, transaction monitoring, investigations and risk management.The strange thing is that big financial institutions have already spent a lot of money to solve this problem. They built data warehouses to get rid of systems and data lakes to put all the information in one place. In fact, they often created the same separate systems they were trying to get rid of.Also Watch: What is AI Hyper-Personalisation in CX and Why Does it Matter?TakeawaysOver $3 trillion of illicit funds moves through the global financial system annually.Only about 1% of illicit funds are detected or intercepted.AML programs have grown in a fragmented, siloed way across enterprises.The pace of change in compliance has historically been slow.Traditional rule-based systems generate enormous amounts of false positive alerts.Data silos persist due to organizational and technology issues.Data products allow for a unified view of data without creating new silos.Generative AI can automate parts of the compliance process.Financial institutions must treat data as a strategic asset.Compliance can inform broader business decisions beyond regulatory obligations.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Financial Crime and Data Analytics05:06 Challenges in Financial Crime Compliance10:05 Data Silos and Their Impact15:12 The Concept of Data Products19:57 Modernizing Financial Crime Strategies24:59 Conclusion and Key TakeawaysFor more information on financial crime and how financial institutions should manage their data securely and compliantly, follow Terada across its official channels:Website: Teradata YouTube: @TeradataLinkedIn: @TeradataX: @TeradataFor more information on enterprise tech analyst-led insights, please visit em360tech.com EM360Tech YouTube: @enterprisemanagement360EM360Tech LinkedIn: @EM360TechEM360Tech X: @EM360Tech#Teradata #FinancialCrime #AML #Compliance #DataStrategy #AIinBanking #FinTech #DataSilos #DataManagement #DonTPanicItsJustData #EM360Tech #B2BMarketing #B2BPodcasts

What's up fraud fighters, and welcome back to Fraud Forward!This episode is a little different, and honestly, a lot of fun. We recorded this one live from the ACFE conference while playing a game of Uno. And if you've worked in fraud long enough, you already know why that felt like the perfect setup. Just when you think you've figured everything out, someone throws down a reverse card, the rules change, and suddenly you're solving a completely different problem.Joining me are three incredible fraud leaders: Karen Boyer, Steve Lenderman, and Jen Lamont. What starts as a lighthearted game quickly turns into a candid conversation about some of the biggest questions facing fraud teams today. From agentic AI fraud and synthetic identity fraud to fraud leadership, analyst development, scam prevention, and where human expertise still matters most.One thing I loved about this conversation is that there was no script. Just practitioners sharing honest opinions about what's changing, what's overhyped, and what they believe will define the next generation of fraud prevention.What you'll hear in this episode:Why agentic AI fraud could reshape the future of synthetic identity fraudThe growing risks surrounding synthetic agents fraud and autonomous digital identitiesWhy human in the loop AI remains critical for fraud preventionWhether AI should investigate alerts or focus on SAR automationThe future role of fraud analysts in an AI-driven industryWhy check fraud continues to frustrate fraud professionalsThe value of networking, mentorship, and industry collaborationYou should listen to this episode if you:Lead a fraud prevention, investigations, risk, or financial crimes team and want to hear how other practitioners are thinking about agentic AI fraud and the future of the industry.Are exploring how AI in fraud, machine learning fraud detection, and fraud detection automation can improve operations without losing the value of human expertise.Want a practical discussion on synthetic identity fraud, synthetic agents fraud, and the next generation fraud threats that financial institutions should be preparing for.Are evaluating where human in the loop AI, AI fraud alert triage, AI writing SARs, and SAR automation fit into your fraud program—and where human judgment should remain at the center.Enjoy candid conversations between experienced fraud professionals on leadership, analyst development, fraud education, and the real challenges shaping modern fraud prevention.

Ep. 1028 - Sarà un passaggio di consegne, comunque vada: Spagna-Argentina, Yamal contro Messi. 19 anni dopo il bagnetto

Francia e Inghilterra, le due grandi deluse di questi mondiali, si affrontano domani mattina all'Hard Rock Stadium di Miami nella finale per il terzo posto. Sarà l'ultima possibilità per Kylian Mbappé di incrementare le sue otto reti e superare Lionel Messi nella corsa alla Scarpetta d'oro. Anche Harry Kane e Jude Bellingham, con sei gol ciascuno, mantengono vive le speranze di conquistare il prestigioso trofeo.

What's up fraud fighters, and welcome back to Fraud Forward!Over the last few months, I've had more conversations about agentic payments than just about any other topic. At conferences, on webinars, and in discussions with some of the smartest people in payments, compliance, and fraud, one thing has become clear to me: I think we're asking the wrong question.Most people want to know whether AI will start moving money.The question I keep coming back to is this: How do fraud teams investigate transactions when software starts making decisions?In this solo episode, I pull together insights from recent conversations with Matt Vega, Mary Ann Miller, and Matt Janiga to explore what agentic commerce really means for fraud investigations, SAR reporting, and the future of financial crime investigations. We talk about why traditional fraud models have always assumed a human initiated the payment, why that assumption no longer holds, and what investigators will need to understand when AI agents begin making decisions on behalf of customers.The technology may be changing, but the principles of good fraud prevention are not. Documentation, audit trails, authority management, explainability, and strong transaction monitoring will become even more important as agentic payments move from theory to reality.What you'll hear in this episode:Why agentic payments are fundamentally different from traditional payment automation.How agentic commerce changes the way fraud teams investigate payment fraud.Why audit trails, attribution, and explainability will become essential during fraud investigations.How SAR reporting and AML investigations may evolve as AI becomes part of the payment decision process.Why regulators are focused on enabling innovation safely instead of slowing it down.The three questions every fraud investigator should begin asking today to prepare for the future.You should listen to this episode if you:Work in fraud prevention, AML compliance, investigations, or financial crime.File suspicious activity reports or conduct SAR reporting.Lead fraud operations, transaction monitoring, or payment investigations.Are evaluating how AI and agentic commerce will affect your institution.Want practical steps your team can begin implementing today instead of waiting for the rulebook to catch up.

Oggi abbiamo visto l'eleganza del re. In testa alla sprint dal primo all'ultimo giro, nonostante un singhiozzo in partenza assorbito con il fare di un gentiluomo che si assesta il nodo della cravatta, Marc Marquez, ha controllato le Ducati del fratello Alex e di Di Giannantonio nella gara breve del GP di Germania.Una vittoria facile? Così è stata descritta la sua corsa. Probabilmente non lo è stata. Non abbiamo assistito ad una dogfight, piuttosto all'esibizione di un maturo fuoriclasse che ha tenuto sempre il centro del ring controllando gli avversari.Del resto il controllo della distanza, la capacità di reazione, è fra le doti distintive dei grande pugili.Domani, probabilmente, nel Gran Premio, tanta sofisticata eleganza non basterà ed il Sachsenring, tenendo fede al suo nome, si trasformerà nell'ottagono della MMA, dove ogni colpo è permesso.Sarà una sfida difficile perché i 135° dell'Octagon rendono molto più difficile per un combattente essere ‘messo all'angolo', ma una volta partito il tempo la Gabbia non permette alcuna fuga. (continua QUI)  La LIVE inizia come al solito con un recap di Andrea della giornata, poi Carletto, Paolo e Matteo come al solito analizzano la situazione nell'ultima gara del mondiale prima della pausa estiva.C'è anche il tempo per un breve video di Marco da Goodwood.

https://slasrpodcast.com/     Welcome to Episode 238 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue Podcast. This week we are joined by Amy Swift.

Professional river guide and Eagle Scout Gabriel Vaughn knows Oregon's Illinois River better than most people ever will. But after a disagreement just above the infamous Green Wall rapid, he makes an unexpected decision that leaves him completely alone in the rugged Kalmiopsis Wilderness. With winter closing in, no hiking gear, and miles of unforgiving terrain ahead, Vaughn is forced to rely on his wilderness training as rescuers race against time through one of the most challenging search environments in the Pacific Northwest.

But behind it have been stories of fans being denied visas, players being searched by sniffer dogs, and Iran’s team being forced to base itself outside the US.

Dr. Rob Brown spent over thirty five years as a diagnostic radiologist before becoming one of the most credible medical voices asking what wireless technology is actually doing to our bodies. In this conversation he and R dig past the attention debate into the hardware itself: the invisible energy your phone, router, and the antenna down the block are pushing into the room around you. His new book, Unplug, is out now. Rob explains why non ionizing radiation is not as harmless as physicists long claimed, shares the factory chicken analogy that explains why constant exposure leaves you depleted, and pulls apart the SAR safety rating as a red herring that measures only heat. The takeaway is practical: you cannot reach zero exposure, so build a clean, device-free sleep sanctuary where your body finally gets to recover. Key Insights Magnetic fields and EMFs interact with living biology. Rob's own knee healed under magnets, which first convinced him energy can affect tissue, for better and for worse. Non ionizing radiation can still cause harm. Metal ions and porphyrins in living cells make oxidative stress and membrane depolarization possible, even without ionization. The factory chicken model explains depletion, not disease. Constant exposure does not have to cause cancer to wear the body down. The SAR rating is a red herring. It only captures the heating effect and ignores stochastic, whole-body harm. Zero EMF is not the goal. A clean sleep environment is. Build a sleep sanctuary. Quick wins: phone out of the bedroom and on airplane mode, router off at night, no electronics where you sleep, and stop carrying your phone in your pocket. Even health devices leak signal. Choose the older plain-tube CPAP and skip the wireless data link. Change is more likely to come from market demand than regulation, so an informed public that asks for safer products is the real lever.
