Eviction attempt failed

Today the situation went out of control, the police throw tear gas at civilians trying to evict people blocking the main streets and other points to the east and west of the city

The protesters built barricades to immediately set them on fire, a helicopter flew over the area and chose to increase flight range because a "cuete" explode very very close to them.



At that moment I realize the risk that the pilot and those who are with him are exposed to (and the rest of us), if that "cuete" had reached the pilot or any important piece of the helicopter, it is very likely to crash over the houses or the area where teachers/other people were blocking.

Did they not think that could happen? Who would be responsible for the possible consequences? You feel the adrenaline running through your body as you try to protect yourself while watching people fleeing the police attack.


From a relatively safe point, I could see how the elements of the police threw tear gas at the roof of the houses and not to the protesters blocking the streets just three blocks away.

What's the point of doing that? Why?  In the end, the police stopped their advance because locals came out to demand to stop releasing gas as they were affecting elderly, pregnant women and children. And probably this wasn't even close to what people at other contries live day by day.

VivaAerobus envía(ba) SPAM.

El día de hoy 24 de Mayo de 2016 recibo correo no deseado (más conocido como SPAM) por parte de VivaAerobus y dado que fuí muy claro cuando compré mi boleto que no deseaba recibir publicidad, anexo la captura de pantalla que en su mensaje no viene la supuesta liga para darse de baja.



Es así como inicia el reporte con una chica de sotorpe técnico de VivaAerobus que se aprendió el guión de memoria pero sin ninguna iniciativa para tratar de resolver un problema, veremos que fin tiene.




Y de esa forma esta chica decidió no seguir en el chat e ignorar los datos/información/capturas de pantalla que envié para que arreglaran su propio problema.

He generado otro chat y al menos la persona que me atendió al menos (¿finge que?) tratará de buscar una posible solución y también les he dejado mensaje en Facebook, donde se limitan a responder lo mismo.



ACTUALIZACION:

Dado que no hay respuesta en el segundo chat y por Facebook tampoco responden, he procedido a reportarlos como fuente de spam:

CNTE blocking main streets (again!).

Since May 15th, teachers part of CNTE/SNTE are blocking the main streets of Tuxtla Gutierrez, not the first time and certainly will not be the last time.
It doesn’t seem to finish soon, some days they are blocking gov buildings, schools, malls and the airport.



The thing is...  there's people who support this movement and there's people who doesn't agree with them, mainly people who rent a space / have a bussines in downtown.
Why?  because customers are affraid that police come to downtown and try to evict them or maybe people infiltrate and start a riot.

Some days a helicopter fly over downtown and teachers try to scare the pilot firing "cuetes".

I wish and hope that this claim/manifestation (call it the way you want), ends sooner than later or the the people from this city will suffer again and probably more than previous times, a note from 2014 with the city blocked by CNTE, floods in August 2015, unfinished work assigned by council since 2012/2013.

15 de Mayo, día del maestro.

¿Por qué celebramos el "día del maestro"?

Algunos nos traen buenos recuerdos y otros no tanto, pero seguro todos tenemos al me os uno que dejó una huella importante en nosotros.
Lo cierto es que los maestros y maestras se convierten en parte esencial de nuestra vida.

Pero ¿qué sabemos del "Día del Maestro"? La historia nos dice que fue en 1918 cuando en México se llevó a cabo la primera conmemoración de este día, por un decreto
del presidente Venustiano Carranza.

La propuesta pretendía  que se instituyera un día de homenaje a los docentes y que fuera el 15 de Mayo, fecha conmemorativa de la toma de Querétaro.

En realidad, sólo los mexicanos lo celebramos en esa fecha, pues en cada país hay una diferente, el que la Unesco estableció como Día Mundial de los Docentes es el 5 de Octubre.

Hackathons are coding competitions, where individuals and teams build mobile apps from scratch over a period of time. The apps are then pitched to judges and prizes are awarded for the best apps. Hackathons are a great opportunity to learn new technologies, network with fellow developers, enjoy some food, most importantly have some fun!
