The Zoomstart Whatsis category is the place I post about cool stuff. A paraglider is basically a plane in a bag. What's cooler then that.
If you're lucky, there's a place to go paragliding near where you live. Here in Vancouver, you can go up to Grouse Mountain during the summer and experience the best ride in town thanks to the great people at First Flight Paragliding.
I took a buddy up with me just to do something crazy because it was his birthday. The experience was awesome. I think everybody should do it at least once.
Before you go, you get some basic orientation and training. Once you get up to the ridge above the Peak Chalet, it's time to get your helmet on, your harness, and set up the glider. Just like tandem skydiving, you're strapped to the glider with the instructor.
Then you just wait for the right wind to come along. Once it does, your instructor lifts the glider up and shouts "Run!". On Grouse, you'll get about 15 to 20 feet down the ridge before the glider picks you up and you swoop down over the Chalet.
My take-off went something like this: "Run! … Stop! … Run!". We got a gust of wind from the side when we first tried to take off which pushed the glider sideways. Kerry, who was my instructor, managed to get it back on track and we were off. He said that our take off was a 7 out of 10 in terms of difficulty which doesn't happen often.
As soon as you pass over the Chalet area, you leave the top of the mountain on the West side. Suddenly there's 2500 feet of nothing below you.
The ride lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. You weave around in figure eights looking for thermals that rise along the side of the mountain. Thermals are like elevators. When you catch one, the glider goes straight up. Of course, if you hit a pocket of cold air, the elevator goes down.
If the instructor has a good amount of confidence in you, he'll let you pilot the paraglider for a while. I got to fly it for about 5 minutes and that definately made the experience better. They land down in a park at the foot of Grouse Mountain. And then you want to go again.
No one can hear you scream. The one thing you notice is how quiet it is up there. Just the gentle rush of the wind is all you can hear.
It's relatively safe. Unlike parachuting, the glider is already open when you leave the ground. The instructors are very well trained; as part of their certification program, they actually have to collapse their glider mid-flight on purpose and then recover from the collapse.
Did I mention … it's the best ride in town.
If you're thinking about doing something different and edgy this summer think about going paragliding. If you have to work up the courage, start working on that part now. Make it a goal.
Who knows, you might like it so much you go out and buy yourself a plane in a bag.
Looks like lots of fun ! I've always wanted to try this, but haven't had the opportunity yet.
It's a lot of fun. Like I said, Summer's coming – make it a goal!

Vengeance & Bernie Madoff
Vengeance is indeed an acceptable goal of punishment.
Madoff big nose 248.88. (photo credit: AP [file])
When Bernard Madoff's attorney, Ira Lee Sorkin, appealed to US Federal District Court Judge Denny Chin to go easy on his client just before the Ponzi-scheme king was sentenced on Monday, his argument was: "Vengeance is not the goal of punishment." There is no way of knowing what the judge thought of that. What we do know is that after labeling Madoff's 20-year crime spree an "extraordinary evil," Chin sent him to prison for 150 years. Granted, Madoff showed - if not remorse - then self-awareness, admitting that his $65-billion racket had caused "a great deal of suffering and pain… I live in a tormented state now... I've left a legacy of shame." Indeed, his wife, who absented herself from the courtroom, claims to have known nothing of the plot which left her "embarrassed and ashamed." Just as "Quisling" has become synonymous with "collaboration"; "Churchillan" with "eloquence" and "Freudian" with "analysis," the name Madoff will henceforth, as The New York Times aptly put it, "become synonymous with greed and fraud." It will be years before the Nobel Prize winners and baseball heroes; the foundations, hospitals and yeshivot; the universities and charities - and the thousands of pensioners and civil servants (who didn't even know their savings had been funneled to Madoff's operation by the firms they invested with) - know whether any of their losses can be recouped. The number of lives Madoff shattered will never be known; nor the total number of potential medical breakthroughs his crimes aborted. The harm he caused to countless, anonymous individuals is incalculable. From a Jewish perspective, Madoff has brought shame upon our people and disrepute to Judaism. He has desecrated God's name - a hillul Hashem. That the religion and ethnicity of non-Jewish criminals is seldom made an issue of is beside the point. It is our tradition, and not what the Gentiles may say, that makes Madoff's Jewishness pertinent. THIS BRINGS us back to the issue of vengeance. Avraham Feder, rabbi emeritus of Beit Knesset Moreshet Yisrael in Jerusalem, notes that in the 1790s, after European Jews were emancipated, various ancient Hebrew ideas fell out of favor. With modernity, vengeance came to be seen as unethical and even un-Jewish. Jews began to embrace the Christian tenet of turning the other cheek. In fact, in Jewish tradition, going back to ancient times, vengeance is closely associated with justice. The Psalmist calls upon the Creator: "Pour out your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not call on your name; for they have devoured Jacob and destroyed his homeland." Feder points out that while vengeance is the Lord's, the collective is occasionally empowered to exact retribution or vindication, as in Chapter 8, verse 13 of the Book of Esther, when the Jews are told to be ready "to avenge themselves on their enemies." Rabbi Jacob Chinitz, a noted Jerusalem educator, has argued that vengeance is justice by another name - and justice is vengeance, so long as it is carried out lawfully, and sanctioned by society. Vigilantism by individuals is not justice and, if rampant, would send civilization back to a Hobbesian state of nature. Elwood McQuaid, a leading Protestant clergyman and Christian Zionist, cites Romans 12:19 in defining his tradition's attitude to vengeance: "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay,' says the Lord." McQuaid: "What's interesting, and I believe clarifying here, is that the passage bases its authority on Deuteronomy 32:35. In the following passage, Romans 13, the justice/vengeance issue is left in the hands of the 'governing authorities,' with a strong admonition to obey and support those laws. Therefore, in cases like the Madoff fiasco, Christians would support whatever terms of justice/vengeance the law imposed. The prohibition is against executing personal vengeance, but supportive of the law of the land - justice." So to attorney Sorkin, we say: Vengeance is indeed an acceptable goal of punishment, certainly in such a case. You might more credibly have appealed for mercy, which the Judeo-Christian tradition, and American jurisprudence, provide when justice makes a petitioner undeserving of leniency. But even mercy has its limits.

Q: How to detect inactivity for automatic logoff? I'm currently building a Qt4 application that runs on an ARM board in an industrial environment. It comes with a 7" touchscreen that is used for visualizing and configuring the values and parameters of a machine.
There are 3 different user levels: standard user (just view), authenticated user (may set parameters and send commands) and admin (can also configure datapoints etc).
Now I want to implement an auto-logoff to avoid any security problems when an admin user forgets to log off properly. What would be the best and easiest way? I basically need a timer that starts after a login and that gets resetted every time the user touches the screen (or moves the mouse). The timer is not a problem - but how can I properly detect mouse/touchscreen events? Thanks for your help!

A: You may install event filter on QApplication instance and track user input events. On each user input event - you reset a timer. But be careful, because it may affect your performance a bit.

NRL-built camera provides view into sun's polar regions
Credit: (Image Courtesy of ESA/ATG Medialab)
WASHINGTON — The Solar Orbiter mission will use a U.S. Naval Research Laboratory-designed and -built heliospheric camera, known as SoloHI, to provide unique perspectives and unprecedented views of the Sun's North and South poles. The spacecraft, a NASA and European Space Agency collaboration, launched aboard an Atlas V rocket at Cape Canaveral, Florida, Feb. 9.
A number of other solar missions are currently studying the Sun's impact on Earth. Those spacecraft, however, travel in the same plane Earth orbits the Sun while the Solar Orbiter circles at an angle off this ecliptic plane to provide views of each pole.
"The magnetic field at the Sun's poles are controlling the overall magnetic structure of the interplanetary magnetic field. We're just embedded in the Sun's magnetic field," said NRL astrophysicist Robin Colaninno. "When solar storms occur, that's the Earth's magnetic field interacting with the Sun's magnetic field. That's what generates aurora borealis and similar events that have a great deal of effect here on Earth."
An aurora is a light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the Sun that enter the Earth's atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres light up around the magnetic poles.
Researchers can use SoloHI and the other nine instruments on Solar Orbiter to examine phenomena on the Sun like never before since the spacecraft looks down at the Sun, instead of viewing it from the side.
"We see an event at one point in the solar atmosphere. The question has always been, 'does that instability occur in isolation or does it impact other regions as well,'" said SoloHI principal investigator Russ Howard. "Now, we will have a view of this whole region. If something goes off in one area, we'll be able to see it propagating through the atmosphere."
Solar Orbiter seeks to resolve the physics of the stream of charged particles from the Sun. SoloHI will image the variable solar wind as it leaves the Sun, and as it hits the spacecraft and heads to Earth.
"We know that the interplanetary medium is filled with charged dust, but all the space weather models ignore this dust," said Howard. "Solar Orbiter is putting the focus back on the processes that are involved in transporting material from the Sun to Earth."
For the next seven years, scientists will look to Solar Orbiter to supplement results from other missions for a comprehensive look at this huge volume of space. Refined forecasts of solar storms, and other Sun-related disturbances, will improve satellite communications and spacecraft operations in the solar system.

More Obituaries for Dennis Lum
Dennis W. Lum
Steamboat Springs resident Dennis W. Lum passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 7, 2019, at the UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center at the age of 77 due to complications of vascular disease. In his life and his death, he was surrounded with the love of many family members and friends.
Born in San Francisco, Dennis spent his early years in northern California and moved to Reno, Nevada, in 1954 where he graduated from Reno High School in 1959. A long-time professor of Sociology at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado, and a part time instructor of Sustainability Studies at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Dennis had an amazing love of books and knowledge. He was a voracious reader of important works in many fields including literature, the arts, politics, economics, history, food, culture, philosophy, native wisdom, and environmental and social issues. He also read many works of fiction and was a frequent user of the Bud Werner and the Colorado Mountain College libraries where he enjoyed talking with library staff and recommending books. Dennis dedicated his influential teaching career to helping his students develop a sense of empathy and a commitment to action for a more just and sustainable world.
Dennis created community by developing lasting bonds with people wherever he walked in life, whether that be to the grocery store or bank or as he undertook his professional and civic work. He encouraged people to be their best selves, and the relationships he built also made his own life rich, deep, and satisfying. Throughout his life, Dennis was a poet, a social justice activist, an incredible cook of multiethnic foods, a politically engaged citizen, an avid fisherman, a lover of gardens and the outdoors, a sports enthusiast, a poker player, and an engaging conversationalist. He had an infectious sense of humor and deep compassion for those facing hurt and injustice.
As a young man, Dennis enlisted in the Air Force and later in the Peace Corps where he did work with indigenous people on Palawan Island, speaking in their native language of Tagalog. Dennis earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in History and his Master of Arts degree in Government from the University of Nevada. He also earned his Master of Arts degree in Sociology and completed his doctoral studies in Sociology at the University of California San Diego where he was a Chancellor's Fellow, a UC Regents Fellow, and a Leopold Schepp Fellow. During his years at UC San Diego, he also received several additional scholarships and awards to support his academic work.
Dennis was preceded in death by his mother Annabelle Hong Rutherford, his father Stanley E. Rutherford, and his brother Stanley Rutherford II. He is survived by his wife Tina Evans, his daughters Kristen Lum (Robby Robison) and Stacey Lum (Jason Curran), his grandsons Garran Wishon and Taz Curran, his sisters Callie Woods and Paula Meckley (Craig), his niece Courtney Hamilton, and his nephews Hunter Hamilton, Nathan Meckley (Angelique), and Justin Meckley (Mac). Dennis is also survived by many, many friends whom he embraced as family.
Celebrations of Dennis' life will be held August 11 at Chris Park near Durango, Colorado, and August 15 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Ceremony details will soon be made available via the Yampa Valley Funeral Home website at: https://www.yampavalleyfh.com/obituary/dennis-lum. In lieu of sending flowers, those who cared for Dennis are encouraged to donate in his honor to the Durango Public Library in Durango, Colorado, or the Bud Werner Memorial Library in Steamboat Springs. Dennis W. Lum

Q: How to patch statefulset on kubernetes cluster and set imagePullPolicy Need to understand exactly how patch works. How could I patch "imagePullPolicy" for instance. Could someone explain in simple details how patch works.
kubectl patch statefulset my-set -p '{"spec":{"containers":{"imagePullPolicy":"IfNotPresent"}}}'

This is not working what is wrong with it?

A: In addition to @Colwins answer, you should also add mandatory key name into container spec, otherwise you'll get does not contain declared merge key: name
So, you kubectl command should look like:
kubectl patch statefulset my-set -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"nginx","imagePullPolicy":"Never"}]}}}}'

A: I think you are missing the template key in your command
kubectl patch statefulset my-set -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec":{"containers":[{"name": "xxxxxxx", "imagePullPolicy":"IfNotPresent"}]}}}}'

The stateful set yaml looks something like this
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: StatefulSet
metadata:
  name: web
spec:
  serviceName: "nginx"
  replicas: 2
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: nginx
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: nginx
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: nginx
        image: k8s.gcr.io/nginx-slim:0.8
        ports:
        - containerPort: 80
          name: web
        volumeMounts:
        - name: www
          mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
  volumeClaimTemplates:
  - metadata:
      name: www
    spec:
      accessModes: [ "ReadWriteOnce" ]
      resources:
        requests:
          storage: 1Gi

So the path to the containers field is

spec >> template >> spec >> containers


Tucked behind the old granary, next door to the Salon, this intimate playing space is usually the birthplace of many surprising festival entertainments. Over the last couple of years, we've had some amazing acts from local Scunthorpe folk band, Ramble Gamble to the amazing technical wonder from Lincoln; Pete & The Experimental Sonic Machines. We have seen comedy and prose, music and song. Last year we had an up and coming family friendly magician who dropped in on our open mic session. It's another part of the festival that embodies the spirit of 'we are the festival'; as we like to say, Festival 8, Particip8!
The Minimatt Busking Stage is a place for all new talent across many genres. Enjoy a range of artists, musicians, poets & spoken word performers.
The Minimatt Busking Stage also hosts and open-mic. This year is on for 4-5 hours on Sunday. So if you have your own instrument and want to play, roughly three to four songs / performances, come along and put your name down. We have an electro-acoustic, Keyboard, Bass & Cajon available to use, alongside some other unusual instruments.
Last year we had so much amazing talent it was hard to fit everyone in. We operate on a 'first come first served basis' and we will do our best to accommodate everyone. We will have a range of pre-booked artists playing on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday as well as running the open mic sessions.

"The Peyote Cult"
The Peyote Cult, or Native American Church, involved the use of peyote which is a small, spineless cactus that contains mescaline and can be used for the hallucinogenic effects it provides. The use of peyote as a medicine and a way to reach divine clarity took place before Columbus came to America, but the religion became fully realized and started spreading in 1885. Peyote practices around and after this time had cultural characteristics from both Mexican and Native American practices.
The Native American Church uses several instruments in their rituals. The peyote gourd rattle is used when singing peyote songs during rituals. There is also a water drummer that uses a modified iron kettle as a drum while the singer sings and uses his rattle. The water drummer uses a hard wooden stick made from thick wood that produces a strong sound when used on the drum. The last ritual tool they use is the peyote staff, which is passed around the group and is held upwards during ceremonies as it is a representation of a holy god.
There are various different ceremonies and ways of conducting them, but there are/were two main styles used. The first one is known as a "half-moon" fireplace. This ceremony involves the use of tobacco and very little connection to the Bible. The second ceremonial meeting, the "cross fire" fireplace, is the opposite because tobacco is not used and the Bible is used almost exclusively. This is one example of how indigenous religion blended together with the Christian doctrine and belief system.

"Of The Girl Who Married Mount Katahdin"
The story you are about to read, Of The Girl Who Married Mount Katahdin, is one of many early Penobscot Indian stories. These stories, however, were not originally written down. This story, as well as countless others within the Penobscot tribe, were oral stories. These were traditionally kept alive by the act of passing the story down from elder members of the tribe to younger members. The Penobscots were natives of Maine, therefore crafting stories about their landscape. Mount Katahdin, which means "The Greatest Mountain" in Penobscot culture, is the highest point in Maine, and was originally named by the Penobscot natives. It wasn't until white ethnographers began recording these cross cultural encounters that these stories became solidified in literature.
Charles Leland, the self-claimed "author" of the story as well as one of the first ethnographers to collaborate with the Penobscot natives, was a man of many interests. Originally born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 15th, 1824, Charles Godfrey Leland was educated at Princeton University, where he became interested in both European and American folklore. After spending time in France and Germany, Leland came to America, where he made contact with the Algonquian tribes. These tribes were situated all throughout northeastern New England, as well as large parts of Canada. He studied as well as lived with the Penobscot natives, recording their culture.
The term Ethnography is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "the study and systematic recording of human cultures." The ethnographic researcher views the society from the subjects view. The use of ethnography is to study, understand, and ultimately preserve a culture. The use of ethnography within the Penobscot culture was to help the "American" people that lived in New England at the time to better understand the life and culture of the natives. Since it is a holistic study, meaning all encompassing, ethnographers were encouraged to include everything they possibly could about their experience with the culture. Of the Girl who married Mount Katahdin is an example of Realistic Ethnography, which is described as a simple, objective account of their experience, story. In Leland's case, he simply wrote down the story that he heard from Mrs. Marie Sakis, an older Penobscot story-teller.
Of the Girl who married Mount Katahdin is the story of a young woman who was outside gathering berries. This girl is romantically enticed, and ultimately seduced by the spirit of Mount Katahdin. Together, they conceive a child, and she returns to her village three years later with the young boy, whose eyebrows are made of stone. The child, who has the ability to kill animals with the pointing of a finger, is used by the tribe to collect an abundance of food. Eventually, the natives of the tribe began to ostracize and make fun of the young boy, to which his mother replies by retreating back to the mountain with the child. The natives lose the powers of the child, and ultimately, their source of food. Finally, Leland states at the end of his passage that it was the American's own fault for similarly abusing the trust and dignity of the native people, destroying "confidence and respect for them among the Indians."
1) What might be the significance of the child's eyebrows being stone? Why not any other part of his body?
2.) How might this story tell the "fall of man" through a native standpoint? What are some surefire signs that it is or isn't?

"The Origin and Disease of Medicine"
On The Cherokee Tribe
The Cherokee tribe originates in the southeastern region of the United States, more specifically present-day Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The Cherokee refer to themselves as Ani-Yuwiya, which translates to "principal people". In the 19th century, the Cherokees were viewed as one of, if not the most socially and culturally advanced native tribe in the United States. They were referred to as one of the "five civilized tribes". Once gold was discovered on Cherokee land, prospectors and settlers alike scrambled to the area in an attempt to acquire the bounty of earthly riches. Despite their impressive reputation, the Cherokee were forcibly removed by then president Andrew Jackson under the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This mass exodus, also known as the Trail of Tears, disrupted the lives of the Cherokee people and ended in the death of 4,000 Cherokee whether by hunger, disease, or exhaustion.
On The Origin of Disease and Medicine
The following story, entitled The Origin of Disease and Medicine, weaves a tale of how disease came to be and the way in which the cures for these diseases were discovered. This text, told orally before it was translated by James Mooney, portrays the natural conflict between animals and plants. The animals are irked by humanity's careless attitude towards them and wish to eradicate them, while the plants are sympathetic towards humanity and seek to save them from certain death. The Cherokee tribe has a strong connection not only to the natural world itself, but more specifically to botany. As a culture entrenched in herbal healing and plant identification, it is only appropriate that their literature would too be steeped in naturalistic themes and information.
"How Glooskap Went to England and France"
CC By: Benjamin J. DeLong. Size altered. https://flic.kr/p/biVVe6
This next Native American text was written down by Charles Lelands in 1884 in a collection of stories called The Algonquin Legends of New England, but because it is likely that the story was originally told orally before it was transcribed into written words, its unclear when exactly it was created. This story focuses on the Algonquin mythical figure of Glooskap (also spelled Glooscap), as many Algonquin legends do. According to Wikipedia, the Algonquian people "are one of the most populous and widespread North American native language groups, with tribes originally numbering in the hundreds of thousands" (Wikipedia).
In "How Glooskap went to England and France," the mythical being, Glooskap, builds a stone canoe and sails to England with his mother. When he lands in London, he tells the Europeans about America. From there, he continues on to France to have his mother baptized as a Catholic before returning to America. The legend states that Glooskap and his mother's return sparked the influx of Europeans to America. This is an example of a "first contact" or "discovery" story because it tells of an initial interaction between Natives and Europeans. Legends like these are important because they help to give us a sense of how the initial interactions between Native Americans and Europeans were experienced.

A system reference that lets a subclass call the PUBLIC and PROTECTED instance methods of its super class in the inherited class hierarchy. If the specified method definition is not found in the subclass's immediate super class, ABL repeatedly looks to the next super class in the inherited class hierarchy until it finds the definition.
Specifies the name of an instance method defined in a super class. The method definition cannot be abstract or ABL raises a compiler error.
Specifies zero or more parameters passed to a PROTECTED or PUBLIC method that is defined for the super class. You must provide the parameters identified by the specified method, matched with respect to number, data type, and mode. To invoke a method that is overloaded in the class, you must specify sufficient information for each parameter in order to disambiguate it from all the other methods that it overloads. Otherwise, ABL raises an error identifying the ambiguity.
For information on the parameter passing syntax and disambiguating overloaded methods, see the Parameter passing syntax reference entry.
You typically use the SUPER system reference within a method of a class defined somewhere in the hierarchy to invoke a method defined in a super class that was overridden in a subclass. For more information about using the SUPER system reference, see OpenEdge Development: Object-oriented Programming.
You cannot use the SUPER system reference to call a static method.


Is this the best fish and chips in the Solomon Islands?
John Leong and Davis Kwanae in the famous fish and chip shop as "the matron" looks on.
In a country surrounded by the sea, where fish is a staple, it is a bold statement to make.
But according to Davis Kwanae, the co-owner of Auki's Jopanara Kai Bar, there is no argument.
"I reckon it is," he said, in response to SIBC's question on whether Jopanara did, in fact, have the best fish and chips in the Solomon Islands.
The Jopanara Kai Bar has been cooking fish and chips in Auki for about 20 years. Now at its third location, on the water adjacent to the Auki Market, the shop does a roaring trade.
The team cook 40 Bonito per day, everyday with the figure getting up to 100 during Christmas and Easter. A serve of $30 fish and chips gets its loyal customers – of which there are plenty – four huge pieces of fish and four pieces of cassava.
There are many secrets behind its success.
The shop only serves fresh fish and and has its own canoe for fishing everyday. It is great value (SIBC challenges anyone to not be full to the brim after eating a Jopanara serving) and has a superb location, overlooking the harbour.
And yet, according to its co-owners, its real secret to success comes from a secret itself.
Davis Kwanae and cook John Leong, who won't reveal his secret recipe.
The cook. John Leong, has a secret recipe – and he won't reveal it to anyone.
And next on the agenda for the team is an expansion into other types of kai kai.


Sure. I'll playtest it for you. Just let me know what I'm supposed to pay attention to.
Yes. A large portion of my text work was integrated into base IR a few years ago, in mid-2016, though I've continued to work on it since. It's the only thing I have directly submitted for integration in either IR or SR, so the sniping doesn't even really make sense. It's also why my name is listed under the "contributor" credits in IR, . @DavidW Something to also keep in mind is that SR changed Goodberry to have a duration of only 8 hours (i.e. disappear on rest). Vanilla's last for forever, while SRR's last for a more moderate 24 hours, so the dynamics of creating them and easily using them are a little different for SR users. @Jarno Mikkola Actually, Goodberry is a level 1 spell in SR.
@ABlake Yeah, that's how they look after compiling too, though this is a different pair of brackets. Weidu has this syntax for custom strings in the TRA file: you write, for example, SAY BATTLE_CRY @1 in the tp2 file, and then in the TRA: @1 = ~[BOGEYMAN_BATTLE] Come here and die!~ [BOGEY]. The first brackets aren't obligatory, they are just for game designers' eyes, and the second contain the assigned sound file, if any. This syntax probably works for BG1, but I don't know. Can I get you to test my mod? It's almost ready. I'm restoring some of the narrator's voice-overs for BG:EE, this part would be somewhat redundant for the original, but also rewriting and remixing a bunch of strings and their sounds. "Save successful" will instead read "Recording your progress..." with a custom sound, and so on. I'd like to know if they appear and play properly in BG1.
Um, I already answered that. It's literally right above your question.
Every time I install or uninstall any mod, I get this error: "ERROR Installing [Amber the NPC MOD], rolling back to previous state Will uninstall 611 files for [YASRAENA/SETUP-YASRAENA.TP2] component 0. Uninstalled 611 files for [YASRAENA/SETUP-YASRAENA.TP2] component 0. ERROR Re-Installing [AMBER/AMBER.TP2] component 0 Try to re-install it manually.

SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Sirene NPC for BG2:EE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Pai'Na NPC for BG:EE SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED Alternate Portrait NOT INSTALLED DUE TO ERRORS Amber the NPC MOD" After that, when I click on setup I find that the amber mod has been uninstalled and I have to install again. Does this problem have anything to do with the fact that Amber started her participation in my group already with the novel off?
I believe so. Like this line "[SAREVOK 12] Face me! Face the new LORD OF MURDER!" is attached to SAREV12.WAV. The "[SAREVOK 12]" bit doesn't show ingame.
Senseless indeed, numbers indeed... and context. The spell is a second level druid spell, so there's no Level 1 heal 3 hps. My feelings about the spell is that it's definitely underpowered, in vanilla. The spells limit is also really limited in the amount it can stack in the inventory, 5 really. 999 would be better. Pond/lbs per berry, if you like. To fix the underpowered issue 1) it could neutralize/cure poison per use, as in just fix the poison to not damage the character. No damage reversal, other than the 1 hp it's in the current berry. 2) More berries. Perhaps 1 / level. OR 3) Turn it's effect to SLOW regeneration 5 hps per berry. And gain 1 berry per 3 levels up to level 30... yes, up to 50 slow hitpoints in as meny rounds. How come ? You could as well attach a script extension in case the mod is detected... No this can't be done !!! Or just use opcode98 and spell duration... Say par1=1 par2=10, spell duration = 50.
I found the vanilla Goodberries pretty helpful in my last run given SCS's ease-of-use AI: druids auto-created them, party members auto-consumed them out of combat. Now obviously you can't have an SR spell that relies on scripting that way, but you could replicate most of the effect by having the spell create one goodberry that applies its effect once per round for five rounds.
I actually think using them as healing potions is less convenient than casting CLW. I was just playing and Minsc, with two goodberries in a quickslot, got Held. Attackers started whaling on him, and Finch tried to keep healing him from behind, but those Goodberries? Totally useless. And as far as situations Maybe healing is just the wrong tack. Someone once suggested reducing fatigue, which would be interesting, but kind of weird, and very situationally useful (and mostly useless). Regeneration seems pretty boring to me. I think the problem is, trying to find a unique effect is hard. Maybe something like, each berry gives the result of an Aid spell, and the number of berries is what scales? Or maybe physical stat boosts - +1 STR/DEX/CON for a little while? Magical berries that make you stronger and more hearty?
But sounds can still be attached with [ ]?
They will show ingame exactly as you write them in the .tlk.
@ABlakeAha. Thanks for finding out. Now I know that I'm going to need two sets of string replacers. But wait, do the tags not show at all in game or do they show as the gibberish they are?
Some mages are using si: abjuration. (Deirex in ust natha, mage in gromnir fight). I have Spell revisions revised installed and scs v32 rc9. Not sure if this is intended behavior.
"Who cares?" Me, . I didn't spend many, many hours cleaning up both IR's and SR's language files to be free from inconsistencies and vagueries because I didn't care. If you want to establish an order outside of that, be my guest...but this is SR within the Revisions series of mods, and I'm working within its rules where it has been overwhelmingly consistent to that and where I do not think a quantity of 2 fits. That is all. SR's Cure Wound Spells all have a base heal of XD8 + X per level (where X equals spell level, e.g. Cure Moderate Wounds would be X = 2), maxing out at level 10, regardless of whether X is 1 or 4. So Cure Light Wounds would be 1D8 + 10 at level 10, for an average of 14.5 points of healing. Your Goodberries would be 21 points of healing per cast that does not require mid-combat spellcasting, and can be prepared in advance - however, it is split into three different uses. That's kind of the problem with instant healing here - you want Goodberries to be worth the cast, but you don't really want to have it outshine Cure Light Wounds for mid-combat healing, which is probably why a regeneration-based approach makes more sense (and possibly you actually meant this to be regeneration-based, in which case, those numbers make much more sense).
That's right. The coloring prefix doesn't work. That feature would have been nice.
No problem. As for Insect Plague, Insect Plague should also have to target someone the same as Creeping Doom, so I'll fix that. Thanks!
So I started a new game. My character is an elf with 16 charisma and 16 intelligence. I had not made any changes, either via CLUE or EE Keeper. I dispatched from the beginning the original women NPCs, and when I got Amber I was with Minsc, Isra, Yasrena, Yoshimo and my second character (created in multiplay: Dwarf cleric fighter, smart and charismatic). In the dialogue in the prision, did not appear the possibility to present my NPC dwarf to her. Until then, I figured she did not like little ones. I'm was not committed to either of the two women in the group. Well, I kept playing, this time, Amber had her earrings, I rescued her when she was kidnapped, she thanked me the way only she knows how to thank ... I decided to check the variables and to my surprise M # AMBERROMANCEACTIVE is 3 . I checked the variables of the other women in the group, in this case Isra and Evandra (I dispatched Yasrena when I took Amber into prison and exchanged yoshim for evandra): So, the variables of the other's female NPCs has: RH # ISRAROMANCEACTIVE: 1 As for Evandra, I only found this variable, but I do not even know if it's hers: RH # EVAROMANCECHECK: 1 Anyway, Evandra does not even talk to me, so I guess we're not engaged. Finally, I decided to check the variables of the first save I made, as soon as I got Amber, and M # AMBERROMANCEACTIVE was already 3, even before I chatted to her. It's just an outburst of a passionate heart ... I gave up.
I didn't test, but judging from the fact that no string in any game uses it: no.
I just realized after casting Creeping Doom, that Insect Plague isn't working according to the spell description. With Creeping Doom you'll have to target someone, but Insect Plague can target any point.
Virtually nothing in this game comes in two like you are suggesting. Special "per day" abilities on items come in 1 or 3. Goodberry itself historically comes in 5. I would never pick 2 because it doesn't fit - 1, 3, or 5 would, and you already said that 1 removes an interesting mechanic of the spell in having splittable quantities, and 5 is too many because it splits the effects between too many uses. So...3 would seem to be the closest to what you want. Rule of three exists for a reason, after all. I thought this was obvious.


No pics inside the theater... oh the redcoats.
Our manifesto needs a major edit: we no longer have a blind spot for jazz music. We in fact have a soft spot for it, in the form of what will now be THREE reviews for the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Sure, it's not such a stretch for us, what with their brand of brass's melody and pattern, and their prior pairing with Yim Yames. Yet at the Kennedy Center Friday night for their Creole Christmas show, it felt like we were the only non-traditionalists in the venue (yes, I'm referring to the walker-lined aisles).
I hope, however, that this brand of jazz lives to see another generation of ardent supporters. It was virtually impossible to get tickets, making ours particularly golden: the show illuminated an admittedly buttoned-up, sometimes dusty venue with a life it rarely sees.
Don't let the title fool you--there was definitely more creole than Christmas in this show. In total just four Christmas songs peppered the setlist: Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, Bells Will be Ringing, Oh Christmas Tree (a version that included the title lyrics sung over and over), and a song I'm pretty sure they made up. In between each, we were treated to piano and trombone solos by clear masters of their instruments, sweet trumpet and vocal-filled songs such as Short Dress Gal and My Sweet Substitute, and a whole lot of energy.
An obvious highlight emerged in the form of a second line parade, started by the band to close the show (pre-encore). Families and older folks alike followed the band around the terrace theater, through the exits and back down the aisles, cutting loose in a way I bet few of these people rarely do. It was a spectacle, complete with a boa-lined parasol, and two little girls playing piano with the band's virtuoso.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band charmed me that night yet again, but there was something about seeing all those uptight Washingtonians dancing to When the Saint's Go Marching In that felt a little inauthentic, albeit cute. So a few songs into the show, I mentally mapped out a trip to New Orleans. Check out the scorecard for more info (forthcoming).

And i want to find  "kse 100 kse 30 kmi 30"  which is located at key number 23
I have tried in_array and other php array functions including preg_match but it dont find string in array. Is there a way to find string in my array. If yes then tell me

A: You should make use of array_search
Searches the array for a given value and returns the corresponding key if successful
So it must be like ..
echo $key = array_search('kse 100 kse 30 kmi 30', $yourarray); //"prints" 23

EDIT:
<?php
$array = [
    0 => "colg - colgate palmolive (pakistan) ltd. ",
    1 => "gatm - gul ahmed textile mills ltd. ",
    2 => "atlh - atlas honda limited ",
    3 => "ffbl - fauji fertilizer bin qasim",
    4 => " - general news",
    5 => "searl - the searl company ltd. ",
    23 => " kse 100 kse 30 kmi 30 ",
    24 => "26,730.82",
];

$array = array_map('trim',$array);

$searchText = 'kse 100 kse 30 kmi 30';
$searchText = trim($searchText);
echo $key = array_search($searchText, $array); //"prints" 23

Demo

A: Well your "kse 100 kse 30 kmi 30" has a space " " before and after the string in your array.
string(136) " kse 100 kse 30 kmi 30 "

Is this the reason why you cannot find it? Because array_serach, in_array and other functions are looking for exact values.
Otherwise use strstr to compare if your string is inside your haystack but be careful. If you have similar content like "Hello" and "Hello World" in your array you might find the wrong entry to this is not really a good unique solution.
Anyway I am leaving a quick example:
$found = false;
foreach($myArray as $key => $value) {
    if(strstr($value, "kse 100 kse 30 kmi 30") == true) {
        $found = true;
        break;
    }
}
if($found == true) {
    //Do something awesome!
} else {
    //Do something not so awesome but still cool?
}

A: Thanks For you help but i sort it out myself
for ($index = 10; $index < 35; $index++) {
    if (substr_count(array[$index], 'kse 100') > 0) {
      $IndexKey = $index;
    }
}

Got The value of key where that variable is.

A: For the first one that matches:
$key = key(preg_grep('/kse 100/', $array));

The Top 10 Universities in the U.S. for Pursuing A Career in Computer Science
According to statistics, computer software and systems software engineer jobs are projected to increase 28.2 percent in 2016. With a median pay of some 90,000 dollars, a bachelor's degree and software knowledge are vital.
With so many schools to choose from it is important that you weigh your options carefully and choose a wisely.
We have put together a composite list of the top ten schools for pursuing a degree in the technical field.
In the 80s through the imaginative world of The Jetsons, every Saturday morning a future with flying cars, holograms, and Rosie the robot entertained children everywhere. For at least the past 20 years, most of these concepts exist, but it seems a long way from being available to modern consumers. And just like that, The Jetsons world of the future seems more unattainable than beating another level of Angry Birds.
Presently, there is an abundance of technological products surrounding consumers today. (i.e., IPADs, Smart Phones, Kindles etc.) With a push of a button, the latest app becomes accessible in entertaining millions for abnormal amounts of hours. However, with gratitude someone's genius contributed to the invention of the latest apps, computer systems, and the like.
According, to a press release in 2013, the U.S. Bureau Labor Statistics (BLS) projects an 18 percent increase in computers and mathematical occupations, and one of the top 5 industries to continue its steady growth until 2022. Beginning an illustrious career in computer science, one must complete a program in vast majors, including but not limited to, computer engineering and science, information systems and technology, and software engineering. Interestingly, the BLS reports occupations with the fastest growth rate require some form of postsecondary education.

The Socialist Equality Party (Australia) held urgent rallies in Sydney and Melbourne last Friday, less than 24 hours after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was illegally expelled from Ecuador's London embassy, and taken into British custody, to facilitate his extradition to the US.
The protests were attended by a diverse range of workers, students, young people and long-time defenders of WikiLeaks and democratic rights.
Speakers stressed the responsibility of Australian governments and the entire political establishment which has abandoned Assange, facilitating the US attempts to prosecute him for WikiLeaks' exposures of war crimes, mass surveillance operations and illegal diplomatic intrigues.
WSWS reporters spoke to some of the attendees.
In Sydney, Halima stated: "This is an attack on all of our democratic rights. Where has our democracy gone? Did it die yesterday? I think it did. What is going to happen to freedom of speech now? There could be a lot of journalists going to jail unless we can get Julian free and stop them from setting this precedent.
"Otherwise it will limit what we know. We need to be able to know what is happening in the world. We have a right to know. How can we make informed decisions and look after our families if we are deprived of any real knowledge of what is taking place?
Rebecca, a midwife, said: "A great injustice has been done to Julian. We need to fight for the right of free speech. We don't want to be shut up. All we want is a safe world to live in.
Her son, Oisin, a high school student, added: "It's very similar to before the French Revolution. There is such a rigid class system. In the French Revolution there were the first and second estates which were the controlling power and who ruled over the third estate, more than 90 percent of the population.
Jay, a university student, said he was extremely grateful for the work of Assange and WikiLeaks exposing the US-led interventions in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq.
"It is for those reasons that Julian Assange has been hounded, harried and persecuted," he said. "We should be very clear about that. They are not going to be extraditing Assange to Sweden. They are going to extradite him to the United States, where most likely he will be tried in secret, and he faces possible capital punishment.
"Sometime we lull ourselves into thinking that because we are supposed to be a democracy, we have civil liberties that will always be there and will always be protected. But actually it's been the actions of working class people throughout history that have forwarded and advanced those rights. It isn't something that's been given to us.
Jemma, a post-graduate student, said: "It's important to highlight the response of most of the 'left' to the potential extradition of Julian Assange, because it's been completely and utterly disgraceful.
Marrieh, a casual retail worker, said: "The work of Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and many others has revealed to the public globally what we should have the right to know.
"Unfortunately, they have had to bring this information to us in very difficult situations that have been created by countries that claim to be democratic. These countries have shown their real face. They are persecuting Assange because WikiLeaks has exposed their war crimes and their trade agreements that affect us so harmfully.
Danielle said, "I was watching a livefeed video of the embassy when the arrest happened. I saw the 10 police arrive at the building and realized that was it. Then someone put their hand over the livefeed.
"It was disgusting. For someone who has been that long without any sunlight, he would have been suffering. He wouldn't have been able to see well. They were manhandling him. I can't believe they did it in that manner. These governments are monsters.
Ally, a city worker passing the demonstration on her lunch break, said that when she saw the rally, she "thought finally! Because no one else is talking about Assange.
In Melbourne, Evan, a motorcycle mechanic, said: "I believe this is downright wrong. When they went in and got Assange last night I just couldn't believe it. They definitely don't want this free media thing that's been developing to continue. They don't want the truth going out to the public. This is the first step to stop it.
Simon, an electrician in the construction industry, travelled several hours to attend the SEP demonstration. "A lot of my fellow construction workers are not aware about the situation facing Assange," he said.
"I encourage workers to do their own independent research. There is so much misinformation and propaganda out there. Workers need to look beyond the ABC, Channel 7, SBS and Channel 9 television. They should turn to independent media on the Internet.
"Everyone needs to dig into issues that are important to society. They need to follow what is going on and care. I have been following Wikileaks since 2010. I was really disturbed by the Afghan and Iraq war logs. I still remember seeing the Collateral Murder video where the US military helicopter blew away journalists and little children in Iraq.
"I have little children myself. I put myself in those families shoes. The public have the right to know what is going on. I don't agree with the wars that are going on in the Middle East. Come Anzac day and people will be proud with poppies on their chest. They will commemorate world war one and two. But we are still in wars now that are unnecessary. Why don't we question them?
Gerry said: "I came here to oppose what's being done to Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning. It's shameful and disgusting. Because WikiLeaks exposed the war crimes of imperialism, the empire is after him. They want revenge. They want a show trial. They want him in court and thrown away for good unless they murder him first which is a distinct possibility. A lot more people need to stand up and say enough.
"A few hours ago, I left a message on Socialist Alliance's website. I asked them why they and Socialist Alternative have been almost totally silent about Assange for years. They have ignored the attacks against him. Their role is beyond contempt.

We're ready to visit Buhari in London – PDP BoT Chairman
The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees, Sen. Walid Jubril, says the party leaders are ready to visit and sympathise with President Muhammadu Buhari in London.
Jubril, who denied that the party promoted the rumoured death of the President, said that the PDP was rather praying fervently for Buhari's safe return to Nigeria.
He said, "Let him be well and come back and continue with his leadership of Nigeria.
"If we are to be given the opportunity, the PDP leaders will even go to London to wish him well and sympathise with his family."
The BOT chairman, also spoke on the lingering crisis in the party, saying that "the PDP will never die".
According to him, the party is making efforts to end the lingering crisis facing it and forge ahead.
"By the grace of God, we are coming clean and the PDP will never die, it will remain as a very strong party.
"There could be differences; differences will come and go, we will emerge stronger and ready to win all elections like we have won in Rivers, Taraba, Gombe, and we are going to win in Anambra, Ekiti hands down."
The BOT chairman cautioned key stakeholders against confusing party members, saying they should allow ongoing reconciliation efforts by well-meaning Nigerians including former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said that apart from Jonathan, other stakeholders in the party are also engaged in the reconciliation efforts.
"I am very sure that there are moves by very responsible party leaders on way forward for our party and we are making a lot of contacts."
According to him, the former president is consulting with the BOT and all the estranged groups in the party.
He said, "He has spoken with Ahmed Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff and he is also talking with me as BOT chairman.
"People should give the former president the opportunity to make proper scrutiny and come out with agreeable solutions on this matter.
"They should not be in too much hurry to further confuse members; we are talking about political solutions."
Jubril dismissed reports of alleged attempt by the Makarfi faction to break away and register a new party.
He said, "My belief is that when there are such decisions, it will be subjected to scrutiny and discussions by all organs and forums such as the national assembly, the ministers' forum, former Governors, and we have the BOT and also the chairmen of various states.
"Whatever we want to do, it must be subjected to their beliefs and understanding.
"I wonder if anybody will say that he has gone to register on behalf of PDP; I will not accept that."

Q: Convert Local time to a Specific timezone irrespective of Daylight is ON I would like to convert local time to PST (Not PDT as its Daylight on currently)
And I would like to have this method generic so that I can use this for any timezone not only for Pacific.
public static DateTime ConvertDateToTimezone(DateTime givenDateTime, string timezoneId, bool considerDaylight)
{
    if (!considerDaylight)
    {
        //ToDo need to implement
        // Convert time to "timezoneId" irrespective of Daylight is on or not.
        //    var timezone =
        //       TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones()
        //           .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id.Equals(timezoneId));
        //    TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(givenDateTime, timezoneId);
    }
    return TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(givenDateTime, timezoneId);
}

A: If you only want to consider the base offset of the time zone, then you could do something like this:
public static DateTimeOffset ConvertToTimeZone(DateTimeOffset dto, string timeZoneId, bool considerDaylight)
{
    var timeZone = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(timeZoneId);

    if (considerDaylight)
    {
        // this is the normal behavior
        return TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(dto, timeZone);
    }
    else
    {
        // the base offset doesn't include DST adjustment
        return dto.ToOffset(timeZone.BaseUtcOffset);
    }
}

However, like Jon mentioned in the question comments, this isn't recommended.  You should probably be storing UTC.  You really should go back and discuss this with your customer.
Also, recognize that sometimes the DST adjustment is used for non-DST purposes, such as when a time zone changes its base offset in the middle of a year.  This happens fairly often outside of the USA.

A: Here is how I accomplished what I need
 public static DateTimeOffset ConvertDateToTimezone(DateTimeOffset givenDateTime, string timezoneId, bool considerDaylight)
    {
        if (!considerDaylight)
        {
            var timezone =
               TimeZoneInfo.GetSystemTimeZones()
                   .FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id.Equals(timezoneId));
            var utcTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(givenDateTime, timezoneId).ToUniversalTime();
            if (timezone != null) return utcTime.AddHours(timezone.BaseUtcOffset.Hours);
        }
        return TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeBySystemTimeZoneId(givenDateTime, timezoneId);
    }

Mexico: Autodefensas shaping up to be "greatest security-policy test" of Peña Nieto's government
Cross-posted with Conflict Journal
This is a weekly roundup of events from 6 April to 12 April 2014
This week, the LA Times called the spread of vigilante groups in Michoacán and other states "the greatest security-policy test of the 16-month-old" government of President Enrique Peña Nieto – a telling statement when one considers the situation in Tamaulipas state discussed below. Since the Mexican government announced a plan to "legalize" the so-called self-defense forces, known as "autodefensas," their presence has increasingly been a cause for concern.
While many were initially hopeful about the potential for the autodefensas to combat the influence of organized crime, it has become increasingly clear that the presence of loosely-regulated vigilante groups poses challenges of its own for the government. Allegations of cooperation with criminal groups, extortion of farmers and deadly internecine fighting among various factions have besmirched the autodefensas' reputation as noble defenders of their communities.
Despite these issues, the groups maintain strong community support, especially in the Tierra Caliente region, which includes parts of Michoacán, Guerrero and the State of Mexico. Nevertheless, Michoacán Federal Safety Commissioner Alfredo Castillo has given the self-defense forces in his state a choice: essentially, they can join the police or disarm.
José Manuel Mireles, the leader of an autodefensa in the Michoacán town of Tepalcatepec and spokesman for the General Council of Self-Defense of Michoacán (CAM), has pushed back against Castillo's ultimatum. He threatened a blockade of the state if the government does not release detained members of the vigilante groups by May 10, the deadline for disarmament proposed by Castillo.
According to the self-defense groups, the government has detained more than 100 of their members. Protesters in Michoacán have already set up blockades as part of demonstrations against the government's decision to disarm the autodefensas in their state. The demonstrators called for the ouster of Castillo, claiming that his decision to disarm the groups breaks with the earlier deal to incorporate them into the official security strategy.
Mireles hailed the recent arrest of former Michoacán Secretary of Government Jesús Reyna on allegations Reyna was linked to the Knights Templar cartel and said that the autodefensas would not disarm until the government "finishes cleaning the state of criminals." He added that his group is not seeking the release of Hipólito Mora, the leader of an autodefensa in La Ruana, who was arrested in connection with the murder of two members of a rival autodefensa led by Luis Antonio Torres Gonzalez. Estanislao "Papa Smurf" Beltrán, the leader of an autodefensa in Buenavista, said that his group is seeking to integrate its members into the official security forces in order to avoid disarmament.
Mireles claimed that the Gulf and Zetas cartels are plotting to take over Michoacán state, which is currently under the control of the Knights Templar. He reported that two days after Secretary of the Interior Osorio Chong spoke about disarming the self-defense groups, the autodefensa detected the presence of vehicles manned by assassins from the Gulf and Zetas organizations.
Meanwhile, in just the past week, more than 30 people have been killed in Tamaulipas state, signaling the possible fragmentation of the Gulf Cartel following the recent arrests of two of its top commanders. Clashes between criminal gangs on the Texas border killed 20 people on a single day. The violence is likely a continuation of a trend that began in 2010 when the Zetas broke away from the Gulf Cartel and turned against their former partners. Both groups have been splintering recently, leading to bloody succession battles and turf wars.
Similarly, IHS Jane's traces the spike in violence in Tamaulipas to the recent arrests of Jesús Alejandro Leal Flores (alias "Metro 24" or "El Simple"), one of the main leaders of the Gulf cartel, as well as Javier Garza Medrano (alias "El Porrón"), one of the cartel's founders. The arrests may have created a power vacuum, exacerbating the existing turf war between the Gulf cartel and the Zetas with the addition of a secession battle among factions of the splintering Gulf organization.
Mexican attorney general Jesús Murillo Karam said that Tamaulipas needs a "specific security strategy" to combat the recent spate of violence in the state. However, he did not specify what that strategy would involve beyond sending more federal security forces, which is a relatively common response to increased violence. Mexican newspaper El Diario reports that drug gangs, primarily the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel, "control everything" in Tamaulipas state, from hotels, casinos and entertainment companies to beer distribution and gas stations.
José Jesús Reyna Garcia, the Secretary General of the Government of Michoacán, was arrested on suspicions that he has ties to the Servando Gómez Martinez (alias "La Tuta"), one of the founding members of the Knights Templar cartel. In February of last year, autodefensa leaders in Michoacán accused Reyna of ties to the cartel, but at the time those charges were denied. Reyna has been removed from office while the investigation is underway. Michoacán Federal Safety Commissioner Alfredo Castillo hinted that there may be more arrests of public officials in the near future, saying, "It is going to be a total cleaning, fall who may!"
IB Times has a short profile of La Tuta. Despite a $2.3 million bounty on his head, the Knights Templar leader maintains a visible public profile, styling himself as an "altruistic" Robin Hood-type gangster.
Extortion by criminal groups of the avocado business in Michoacán has brought them around $770 million since 2009 according to an estimate by avocado producers in the municipality of Tancitaro. Michoacán is the source for more than half of the global avocado supply. While autodefensas in the region have started to redistribute some farmland that had been stolen by the Knights Templar cartel, there are reports that some of the groups have failed to return confiscated properties and instead have set up their own extortion rackets.
The wife of Enrique Hernández, the leader of an autodefensa in Michoacán implicated in the murder of Tanhuato mayor Gustavo Gariba, has alleged that he was tortured following his arrest. Lornzo Corro, director of legal guidance for the State Human Rights Commission in Michoacán as well as a doctor working for the agency stated that Hernández had sustained injuries consistent with that story.
Mexican army forces killed four people in Tamaulipas who were suspected of carrying out an attack on a hotel last week. The troops seized 17 rifles, 11 grenades, two grenade launchers, three handguns, ammunition, tactical gear and marijuana from the suspects.
Organized crime groups have been stealing airplanes in northeastern Mexico. Luis Gerardo García Martínez , Director of State Airport Services, said he has asked the Army and the Federal Police to supply more security forces.
Colombian police in cooperation with the US DEA arrested Héctor Coronel (alias "Rincón"), the man believed to be the main emissary between recently-arrested Sinaloa cartel capo Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and the Colombian rebel group known as the FARC.
A high-ranking member of the Zetas cartel, Ivan Velasquez-Caballero (also known as "El Taliban" or "L50") pled guilty to money laundering and drug charges in Texas. Velasquez was arrested in Mexico in September 2012 on various charges, including drug and weapons conspiracy, as well as kidnapping, murder, racketeering and money laundering. He was extradited to the US in November 2013.
Jesus Vincente Zambada-Niebla, a high level member of the Sinaloa cartel, pled guilty to drug charges in Chicago. Zambada-Niebla's father, Ismael Zambada-Garcia, is believed to be the current leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. Some experts had speculated that Isamel may have betrayed his former boss, the recently-arrested Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Zambada-Niebla is reportedly cooperating with US authorities, making it more likely that he – not his father – was the one who "flipped" on the former capo. Still, it is not clear whether Zambada-Niebla gave up information that helped lead to the capture of "El Chapo."
Mexican freedom of speech organizations released a document entitled "Control of Public Space: Report on the Steps Backwards in Freedom of Expression and Association in the Present Government," which analyzes 11 legislative initiatives and reforms "aimed at the restriction and the criminalization of social protest." [From Proceso magazine, translated by Mexico Voices:]
Among the proposed legislations that are under scrutiny, the following laws are emphasized: the General Regulation of Public Demonstrations; the Federal Law of Telecommunications and Broadcasting; the reform initiative of the Law of Industrial Property, the Federal Author's Rights law, and the Federal Criminal Code.
Additionally, there is the reform to article 29 of the Constitution and its statutory laws; the anti-terrorism law contained in the Federal Criminal Code, and the phone geolocalization laws set out in the National Code of Criminal Procedure.
The NGOs also looked over the initiatives for regulating demonstrations promoted in the state Congresses of San Luis Potosí, Quintana Roo, Jalisco, and the Legislative Assembly of the Federal District (ALDF).
Hundreds marched in Mexico's capital city, protesting internet censorship legislation currently being debated by the country's congress. The legislation would allow internet service providers to "block, inhibit or reverse temporarily telecommunications signals in critical events and places for public and national security at the request of the competent authorities."
Manuel Alejandro Aponte Gomez (alias "El Bravo") was found dead at a factory in Sinaloa state. El Bravo was reputedly the head of security for the recently-arrested leader of the Sinaloa cartel, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. El Bravo was trained at Mexico's Military College and graduated as a second lieutenant in 1996, but was listed as a deserter in May 2004.
Protests in the state of Oaxaca demanding government funds for public works, public safety and education programs turned violent when police moved in to control the crowd. Six police and one newspaper photographer were injured and 38 demonstrators were arrested.
A man ran over and seriously injured five teachers in the capital of Michoacán state, who were maintaining a blockade as part of a demonstration for education reform. Police pursued the suspect to his home and subdued him after a shoot-out.
After denying knowledge of the incident, Mexican officials have now confirmed an "unintended border crossing [into the US] by two members of the Mexican Army" on January 26 of this year, but stressed that it was nothing more than a mistake. Previous reports have hinted that the incursion may have been evidence of cooperation between Mexican security forces and drug trafficking groups.
According to a report from the Center for International Policy's Americas Program, violence against women is on the rise in Mexico and Central America. The report blames "increased militarization, due in large part to the war on drugs"; "widespread corruption and complicity with organized crime"; and "discrimination and misogyny inherent in Latin American culture" for the increase.
Cyber crime is on the rise in Mexico. According to the head of Mexico's Scientific Police Division, Ciro Humberto Ortiz Estrada, criminals made an estimated $3 billion from "cyber kidnapping" in 2013, up from $2 billion in 2012. "Cyber kidnapping" involves "taking hostage" the computer systems and databases of businesses and demanding payment for users to regain access. A 2011 survey by McAffee estimated that up to 80 percent of Mexican participants had been subject to cyber extortion.
Farmers in Mexico who previously grew marijuana appear to be replacing cannabis crops with opium poppies, potentially in response to a price drop in the marijuana market. According to the DEA, Mexico is now the top supplier of heroin to the US.
Armed gangs are robbing mango producers in Oaxaca. Farmers say that the situation has grown worse in recent years, especially in the municipalities of Chahuites and Zanatapec. Oaxaca is one of Mexico's top mango-producing regions.
According to Sonora's Secretary of Public Safety Ernesto Munro Palacio, former DEA and FBI agents as well as specialists from Colombia and Israel will assist in the training of 500 cadets for the National Mexican Gendarmerie.
During a recent diplomatic visit by French President Francois Hollande, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and his Mexican counterpart Jose Antonio Meade signed an agreement of cooperation between the countries to support the Gendarmerie.
Vocativ takes a look at Cartel involvement in human smuggling and the rise in the number of unaccompanied minors attempting to cross the border into the US, many of whom are fleeced by traffickers and abandoned. Mexican authorities recently found 370 children in the course of just one week who had been abandoned by traffickers.

Japan's top two regional banks consider tie-up
Takashi Umekawa
TOKYO (Reuters) - Bank of Yokohama and Chiba Bank Ltd (8331.T) are considering a business tie-up, the banks said on Tuesday, after the Nikkei newspaper reported that the two regional lenders would form a comprehensive partnership.
The tie-up, which would bring two of Japan's biggest local banks closer together, is the latest to highlight the strain on smaller banks in the world's third-largest economy, where years of near-zero interest rates have made traditional banking barely profitable, meaning scale is needed for survival.
Most regional lenders are facing weak demand from dwindling populations in many of Japan's prefectures. But Yokohama and Chiba are both part of the greater Tokyo area, meaning that demographics and loan demand are among the most favorable in the country.
"It is true that we are considering a business partnership but nothing else has been decided yet," a spokesman for Chiba Bank said.
Bank of Yokohama's parent company, Concordia Financial Group (7186.T), also confirmed that a business tie-up was being considered, adding that nothing had been decided.
The banks could cooperate on everything from mergers and acquisitions and development of new products, working together to share customers, the Nikkei newspaper said.
The heads of both banks will hold a news conference on Wednesday, the Nikkei said.
Bank of Yokohama is Japan's largest regional lender. Chiba Bank is the country's third-largest regional lender, according to the Nikkei.

The charmingly festive romantic comedy will feature Michael Brandon (Dempsey and Makepeace, Jerry Springer The Opera) as General Henry Waverly, Brenda Edwards (We Will Rock You, Chicago) as Martha Watson, Danielle Hope (The Wizard of Oz, Snow White) as Betty Haynes and Clare Halse (42nd Street, Gypsy) as Judy Haynes.
Danny Mac and Dan Burton will reprise their roles of Bob Wallace and Phil Davis after a successful run at Curve, Leicester in 2018.
The musical, with a book by David Ives and Paul Blake, is based on the 1954 film of the same name and features original music and lyrics by Irving Berlin as well as a whole host of Christmas classics you know and love. The festive extravaganza features classics such as 'Blue Skies', 'Sisters' and of course… 'White Christmas'.
With all the 1950s glam you could possibly ask for, the Tony Award-nominated show is set in post-World War II America, following veterans Bob and Phil as they tour their song and dance act.
After meeting the beautiful Haynes sisters, the pair fall hopelessly in love and follow the musical sisters to see their Christmas show in Vermont.
When they arrive, they're shocked to find their former military commander in charge of the financially struggling lodge they've booked!
Expect tuxes, ballgowns, perfectly coiffed hair and an extra spoonful of Christmas magic.
The production is directed by Curve Artistic Director Nikolai Foster (Annie, Breakfast at Tiffany's) and features brand new choreography by two-time Olivier Award-winning choreographer Stephen Mear (Mary Poppins, Gypsy).
The show will run at 7.30pm every night but Sunday. Matinée performances will run at 2.30pm on Thursdays and Saturdays.
