What Does Proteccion Civil Mean in Mexico?

See this RT post of four hours ago:

A man claiming to represent Mexico’s Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) has released a video threatening to murder one of the country’s most prominent news anchors due to ‘unfair’ coverage of the power struggle in Ecatepec.

The masked man complained that Milenio Television was favoring community ‘self-defense’ groups who oppose the CJNG’s presence in the town, directly naming journalist Azucena Uresti in his complaints.

The masked speaker, seen surrounded by six armed men, accused Ms. Uresti and her network of being biased while covering the dispute between the cartel and vigilante groups. Earlier this month, Uresti interviewed a vigilante involved in the fight for control over the town of Ecatepec, which is believed to have provoked this reaction from the cartel.

Azucena Uresti is one of the best-known news anchors in Mexico; she presents Milenio TV's nightly news show and moderated the 2018 presidential debate.

Groups representing journalists have demanded that the government offer protection to Ms. Uresti following the threats, but there has been no response to the request as yet.


The other day a guy was driven past while I was begging at the traffic lights. He was lying on his back on the bed of a pickup truck and a paramedic was holding a blood-soaked rag on his chest. It looked like he had been shot or stabbed in the chest. The pickup truck had Proteccion Civil written on the side, ... better late than never I guess. What the hell kind of asylum does the President think he is running here: President of Mexico on Julian Assange. I've seen enough of the government of Mexico for now. If that is all you have to offer you aren't going to get much more help from me. You can get your advice from Bill Gates instead. Chau!

So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
