Isn't the map size the same as a Sim City 4 Medium city (according to the designers)? How big is it compared to a Sim City 4 Medium city? -

Looking for Japan NAM Facelift Mod Readme Translation
Hellken replied to Hellken's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
I am just guessing based on my tests. "Common" - Core files (???) "ZWide Curve Overall Pavement" - This is definitely an optional file and FINALLY puts sidewalk on the "holes" as long as you put a zone or lot. I cannot understand the translation so I only picked one of the three: · Wide Curve Side Walk · Wide Curve Merge Type A · Wide Curve Merge Type B Currently using "Wide Curve Side Walk" and it works well. I still have no idea what "Wide Curve Merge Type A/B" do since they seem to just nullify "ZWide Curve Overall Pavement". -

@jdenm8 @haljackey I'm aware that the Japanese NAM Facelift Mod is no longer supported after NAM 29. I used it before and I am aware of the bugs and pathing issues especially with the overpasses. I'm now only reinstalling just the Wide Radius Curve and the z_SAM_NoGrass_Mod . Will that still work with NAM 30? -

Sounds interesting. So in theory, there is no limit to how many SAM - X you can have as long as you create a false intersection?

Hmm... Some questions about this: So it's no longer possible to add to the SAM Network? So a SAM-10, SAM-11, SAM-12, etc. is no longer possible? Some Japanese modders have made some SAM overwrites: http://hide-inoki.com/bbs/archives/sc4_0856.html http://blog.livedoor.jp/moonlinght/archives/1611092.html So even if these textures exist, is it still possible to add them as a SAM 10 or SAM - 11? Thanks.

'Down syndrome girl', 11, faces death penalty for desecrating Koran in Pakistan
Hellken posted a topic in Current Events
'Down's syndrome girl', 11, faces death penalty for desecrating Koran in Pakistan Furious mobs surround the home of 'mentally disabled' Christian girl She faces execution under Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws By Rick Dewsbury PUBLISHED:10:51 GMT, 20 August 2012| UPDATED:12:50 GMT, 20 August 2012 An 11-year-old girl thought to suffer from Down's Syndrome is facing the death penalty in Pakistan for apparently burning pages from the Koran. Furious mobs of Muslim locals gathered outside the home of Christian girl Rifta Masih after she was found with charred pages of the Islamic holy book. She was arrested and has been held in custody for the last 14 days under Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws. A conviction could see her executed. Anger: Furious mobs similar to these gathered outside the home of an 11-year-old Christian girl accused of burning pages of the Koran (file picture) Run-down: Children play in a slum area on the outskirts of Islamabad, Pakistan, close to the town of Mehrabadi where the 11-year-old girl lives A Pakistani police officer, Zabi Ullah, said today that the girl was arrested after hundreds of neighbors gathered outside her house in Mehrabadi, a poor outlying district of the capital, Islamabad. He said the police took the girl to the police station, and that she’s been held for 14 days while authorities investigate. More...

Another police official, Qasim Niazi, said when the girl was brought to the police station she had a shopping bag that contained various religious and Arabic-language papers that had been partly burned but no Koran. Friction: A Pakistani Christian prays at a church with fellow worshipers. There are tensions between the religious groups and Muslims Islamabad in northern Pakistan was the scene of several protests earlier this year after U.S. troops apparently burned Korans Officers added that the matter could be dropped once the investigation is completed and the atmosphere is defused, saying there was ‘nothing much to the case.’ He did not want to be identified due to the sensitivity of the case. Meanwhile, Pakistan's president Asif Ali Zardari said he had 'taken notice' of the reports of the arrest and asked Pakistan's interior ministry to present a report to him. There were varying reports on the girl’s age and whether she suffered from Down's Syndrome. Ullah said she was 16 while other officials have said she was either 12 or 11. Niazi said that when the girl was brought to the police station she was scared and unable to speak normally, but he did not know whether she suffered from mental health issues. The arrest of the girl and outrage among the local community demonstrates the deep emotion that suspected blasphemy cases can evoke in this conservative Muslim country, where rising extremism often means religious minorities live in fear of persecution. Sacred: A Pakistani Muslim woman holds up a copy of the Islamic holy text the Koran Christians often live in fear that they will be accused of blasphemy, and many critics say the legislation is sometimes used to settle scores. Angry mobs have been known to sometimes take the law into their own hands and beat or kill people who are accused of violating the blasphemy laws. In July, thousands of people dragged a Pakistani man accused of desecrating the Koran from a police station in the central Pakistani city of Bahawalpur, beat him to death and then set his body on fire. And there were furious protests earlier this year after U.S. troops were accused of burning the Koran. Effigies of Barack Obama were burned in the street amid demands for an apology. Attempts to revoke or alter the blasphemy laws have been met with violent opposition, however. Last year, two prominent Pakistani political figures who spoke out against the laws were killed, in attacks that raised concerns about the rise of religious extremism in Pakistan. Liberal politician Salman Taseer was shot and killed by one of his own guards in January 2011, and in March 2011, militants gunned down Shahbaz Bhatti, the only Christian minister in Pakistan’s Cabinet. A spokesperson for Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, Farhatullah Babar, said the president has ‘serious note’ of reports of the girl’s arrest and has asked the Interior Ministry to look into the case.

'Down syndrome girl', 11, faces death penalty for desecrating Koran in Pakistan
Hellken replied to Hellken's topic in Current Events
ISLAMABAD (AP) — In a rare move, a Pakistani judge granted bail Friday to a young, mentally challenged Christian girl accused of insulting Islam by burning pages of the religion's holy book. Activists who had pressed for the girl's release welcomed the rare decision to grant bail in a blasphemy case. But defense lawyers expressed concern for her safety in a conservative country where blasphemy allegations often result in vigilante justice. The girl's plight has drawn new attention to Pakistan's harsh blasphemy laws, which critics claim are used to persecute minorities and settle personal vendettas. The girl, who medical officials say is 14 years old, was arrested Aug. 16 after an angry mob surrounded her house in the capital,Islamabad, and accused her of burning pages from the Quran, an act punishable by life in prison. Her lawyer has denied the allegation. The judge's decision, which was handed down Friday in an Islamabad court, came after a Muslim cleric from her neighborhood was accused of planting evidence to incriminate the girl and could signal that the case will be thrown out entirely. Police arrested the cleric after a follower from his mosque accused him of stashing pages of a Quran in the girl's bag to make it seem as if she burned them. He allegedly planted the evidence to push Christians out of the neighborhood and is now being investigated for blasphemy himself. He has denied the allegation. The arrest was applauded as a rare occurrence when blasphemy accusers are held responsible for false claims. Judge Mohammed Azam Khan set bail at 1 million Pakistani rupees, or about $10,500, a significant sum in a country where many families live on only a few dollars a day. A Pakistani group that represents minorities said it would pay the bail. "We feel that this is the real victory of truth and law," said Robinson Asghar, an aide to the Pakistani minister for national harmony. The judge gave no reason for granting bail. Attorneys for the young girl argued that the accusations against the cleric had raised reasonable doubt about her culpability in the case. Tahir Naveed Chaudhry, a lawyer representing the girl, said the bail would be paid Saturday, then she would be freed. The girl, who was being held in a prison in Rawalpindi, near Islamabad, has Down syndrome, according to her lawyers. Chaudhry said the defense team would next move to have the entire case dismissed. The girl's lawyers said it would be the responsibility of the government to protect her and her family when she's released. "We are really worried about her security," said Raja Ikram Ameen Minhas, one of her lawyers. Paul Bhatti, an adviser to the prime minister on interfaith harmony, said it was unlikely that anyone would harm the girl considering the amount of support she's had, even inside Pakistan. Unlike previous cases, few Muslim clerics or political leaders have pushed for her prosecution, likely due to the girl's age and mental state. In fact, a Pakistani association of Muslim clerics has been advocating on her behalf. But blasphemy is an extremely contentious issue in this country, and people have been known to take the law into their own hands against accused blasphemers. A Pakistani man accused of blasphemy in July was dragged from a police station in the center of the country, beaten to death and his body set on fire. Two prominent politicians also were gunned down last year for suggesting the blasphemy laws should be amended to prevent misuse. The killer of one of the politicians was later lauded by supporters who threw rose petals whenever he appeared at court. In the poor, suburban neighborhood where the girl and her family used to live, her release was met with muted joy by Christian residents. Many fled after the accusations surfaced but have since returned because they have few other options. They've been staying with relatives or at area churches. Some even built a makeshift church out of tree branches in a vacant lot but were pushed out by police and angry neighbors. "I think we will not be safe if she comes back here as someone would try to attack her, and in this situation we may also come under attack," Ashraf Masih said. "It is good for her to go to some other city with her family." A lawyer for Malik Ammad, the man who brought the complaint against the girl, said the judge felt she was better able to defend herself outside prison but cautioned the case would continue. "This doesn't mean the allegations against her were wrong," Rao Abdur Raheem said. The Associated Press does not generally identify juveniles under 18 who are accused of crimes and is withholding her name. Ali Dayan Hasan, the head of Human Rights Watch in Pakistan, called for all charges against the girl to be dropped. "Human Rights Watch hopes that the blatant abuse that has come to light in this case will lead to a considered re-examination of the law, and all stakeholders in Pakistan will actively seek to end frequent abuses perpetrated under cover of blasphemy allegations," he said. Whether the case will lead to any changes in the blasphemy laws remains to be seen. Interior Minister Rehman Malik told Pakistani legislators during a senate session Friday that the girl had been wrongly accused and that the police investigation had shown there was no truth to the allegations against her. He assured the legislators that no one would be allowed to misuse the blasphemy laws but in a sign of the limits in this overwhelmingly Muslim country, he also emphasized that no one would be allowed to insult Islam. ___ Associated Press writers Munir Ahmed and Zarar Khan contributed to this report. ___ Rebecca Santana can be reached at http://twitter.com/@ruskygal http://news.yahoo.co...-182543727.html -
