Denne utvidelsen gir 1 blokk.
- Urvanov Syntax Highlighter
- Download the .zip of the plugin and extract the contents.
- Upload it to the WordPress plugin directory and activate the plugin.
- Even easier, just go to Plugins > Add New and search for «Urvanov Syntax Highlighter».
- You can change settings and view help under Settings > Crayon in the WordPress Admin.
- Make sure your theme either manually specifies jQuery, or uses the version shipped with WordPress (recommended). You should NOT print out jQuery manually in the header as a script tag. Enqueueing it in WordPresss will prevent duplicate jQuery includes (also bad) and will allow other scripts to be placed AFTER jQuery in the head tag so they can use it. If you're uncertain, just let WordPress handle it and remove any jQuery script tags you find in your theme's header.php.
- Oll old Crayon inline and blocks should work by default.
- Don't use standard Code block in new posts. Use special Urvanov Syntax Highlighter block in Gutenberg editor.
Please see the documentation for all the details.

This means Crayon no longer passes around the wp_load path and doesn't use it as a $_GET variable to load AJAX requests. The security vulnerability in 1.13 is no longer present and that code has been removed.
- font-size and line-height has been removed from the crayon style CSS and is specified using the settings screen – the custom font size is enabled at 12px. This allows you to disable the custom font size and allow your own CSS to take control of the sizing for you. With the custom size disabled the inherited size is applied, so the code will appear at the size of its parent element based on your wordpress theme.
- Update functionality has been improved so the CrayonWP update function is only called when an update is detected from a change in the version string, not every time you load the page! If using lower than 1.14 the custom font size setting is enabled for you, since this setting was disabled by default in previous versions.

- This update is the biggest update yet – highly recommended for all users.
- Added a brand new Tag Editor in the Visual Editor toolbar! Greatly simplifies adding code to posts in the Visual Editor. You can also switch between Visual and HTML modes to verify your code before posting!
- Added ability to decode HTML entities, so now you can use <, > etc. in the Visual Editor. But if you need indentation etc, you'll want to use the HTML editor for posts with Crayons. You can also use decode=»yes/no/true/false» to set this for an individual Crayon.
- Added ability to decode attributes, which is enabled by default to avoid seeing encoded strings in the title, and also to allow encoded angle/square brackets in the title that would otherwise clash with the Crayon tag brackets if left unencoded.
- Added ability to use the class attribute in
 tags for specifying settings like url, mark, lang, toolbar and all other valid settings like in a normal [crayon] tag. This will ensure your
 tags remain valid XHTML markup even with Crayon disabled.
- Added ability to specify hyphen-separated-values in the class attribute of a
 tag to make them look like actual class selectors. E.g.
…
. The setting name is made up of letters and hyphens ONLY, the value is whatever is left between the last hyphen and the next whitespace character.
- Added Scheme language thanks to https://github.com/harry75369
- Added ABAP language with help from Christian Fein
- Added a new setting: crayon=»false/no/0″ as an attribute or crayon:false in the class tag of a
. This will ignore the
 tag and not turn it into a Crayon for those rare cases you don't want to use the plugin.
- Improved the method of finding posts with Crayons – now it will search through all posts for Crayons and save the ids in the options db. When the_posts is called, it won't need to do any extra searching on page loading and will already know which post has Crayons. Like before, pages which might use page templates will turn off enqueuing of fonts and themes to ensure they are always printed.
- Overriden Language File elements are now put first in the CSS class name, so the extended element can override in a theme
- Prevented capturing Crayons in the admin
- Crayons now use HTML5 valid markup

-

 tags are now captured as Crayons. This can be turned off in Settings > Crayon > Code.
- You can remove prevent capturing individual
 tags the same way as Crayons: $
 …

- This method of preventing the
 tag should be used if your code contains
 tags (nested
 tags) – otherwise it will cause conflicts.
- Keep in mind that
 tags should not be editted in Visual Mode. Crayon will display all code as it appears in the HTML view of the post editor, where you can make code changes and use the tab key etc. If you want to use the Visual editor reguarly and are running into problems, consider loading the code form a file using the 'url' attribute.
- I have removed the ability to have spacing between the starting and ending square brackets, so [crayon…] is valid but [ crayon … ] is not.
The same applies to
 tags (not
). The reason is to improve performance on posts without Crayons by using strpos and not regex functions like preg_match, and also it's better formed. - Fixed a bug causing Plain Code to display characters as encoded HTML entities
- Removed jQuery 1.7 from /js folder. Now uses the version provided by WP.
- For those still having issues with CSS and JavaScript not laoding, I have added a new setting in Misc. that will allow you to either attempt to load these resources when needed if you have no issues with your theme or to force them to load on each page.
- Added ability to use and define language aliases. eg. XML -> XHTML, cpp -> c++, py -> python
- Avoided using $wp_query, $posts instead
- Updated contextual help to be compliant with WP 3.3
- Added internationalisation with 4 new languages: German, Spanish, French and Italian

it's actually quite easy to edit – just contact me via email 🙂 - More languages will be added as they are demanded
- Recommended update for everyone

Though the former Carver Nursery School building is about to revert to William Cromley's control, the developer is poised to give community activists another chance to preserve the Parker-Gray neighborhood property.
There's just one catch: They need to come up with a viable plan to save the building, complete with financial backing.
"If they do present me with something real [by Monday], I will give them an extension, but that's [several] days away and it hasn't come yet. I'm not thinking that it will, but I certainly want to give them the opportunity," Cromley said. "[It] has to have some financial commitment tied to that, something that is real that says that given an extra amount of time, the building will be sold."
Cromley bought the property about five years ago and revealed plans to demolish the 1940s-era building in favor of condominiums shortly thereafter. While city council and the board of architectural review signed off on the plans, residents protested and waged a legal battle to save the schoolhouse-turned-American Legion post for black residents.
As a result, Cromley, the city and residents agreed to a two-year moratorium on redevelopment in the hopes that a group or person would swoop in and buy the property, with the intention of preserving the building. That has not happened, and when the agreement expires after Monday, Cromley will be free to move ahead with redevelopment.
As the deadline grew closer, residents like Boyd Walker turned to City Hall for help. But officials, who marketed the building during the past two years, have made it clear there's little inclination or money to buy the property — valued at about $700,000.
That suits community activist Randy Stephens just fine. Never completely sold on the city taking possession of the property, Stephens hopes his fellow residents-turned-preservationists will band together to save the former nursery school.
"We've covered some ground, and I think that we have a tremendous opportunity to make this work," he said. "One of the things we need for sure is as much publicity as possible. [Our] steering committee will be designed to reach out to different churches, Masons, sororities and fraternities."
Stephens' efforts have the support of one of the city's celebrated civil rights leaders — Ferdinand Day, and his daughter, Gwendolyn Day-Fuller. Like Stephens, Day-Fuller remains hopeful the group can save what they consider a historic landmark.
Members of the historic black neighborhood consider it an important piece of their story. Day-Fuller, who attended the school, worries demolishing it will add to the steady loss of the Parker-Gray legacy.
"A lot of the old-time people have either died off or moved away," she said. "Everything I look at is [evidence of] people of color being pushed out of the city. … Pretty soon we're going to have a city devoid of any visuals that really show that there was a thriving black community here."
Cromley remains skeptical they can pull it off in time, but Day-Fuller is committed to the cause. Even if the city isn't interested in buying it, she hopes they will help keep up the property and assist preservationists looking for grants.
"I just know from my perspective, anything we can do is worth doing," she said. "I'm determined to work my fingers to the bone so at least we can walk away saying we gave our best effort to it."
Her passion for the property is part of the reason Cromley is entertaining the notion of giving activists more time to buy it. Talking with Stephens and Day persuaded him, Cromley said.
"The difference between my attitude when I bought it and now is people like Randy Stephens and Ferdinand Day," he said. "That's who should have led the battle in the first place; they're the ones who have the memories, and quite frankly, the credibility to say the building is meaningful. Their stories affected me deeply."

By Thomas Bennett, L.L.B.
Somalia remains a failed state. Poverty, the absence of enforced law, and psychopathy masquerading as a just cause foment an environment where money for gain, or money to finance terror, means that piracy in the Indian Ocean has not gone away. What started in the Somalian North as a tax on shipping is a continuing threat to global trade.
Still, piracy has abated. Nation states have acted. Armed guards have helped. The threat has been contained, or has it? It is a brave shipping company that sends an unprotected crew through the high risk area of the Indian Ocean. And if the rationale for piracy remains, then piracy remains. Somalia, lawless as it is, will wait.
Western powers will not finance armed forces to patrol the Indian Ocean indefinitely. The maritime industry will price the risk according to the threat. The probability of piracy has diminished. The business of maritime security must adjust. As the perception of threat falls, so will the cost of protection. Competition will force prices down and many armed security companies will not survive. Some will merge. Consolidation is inevitable. Or so it seems.
Maritime security is still big business. We estimate that total revenue in the Indian Ocean is $400 million a year. The supply chain ranges from nation states to former servicemen, maritime agents and legitimate dealers in arms. All vested interests. All of whom take their piece of the whole. Today, prices for transits on vanilla routes are so low that it is hard to discern how a profit is achieved. If there is no more profit to be had, then competitive tension is designed to push all but a few players in this market to mutually assured destruction.
Regulation? Not Really
Gifting weapons to non-state actors is not without precedent. This gift does, however, breach most political theory as to who should have the right to bear arms. Regulation is and was inevitable. Law only works when it is applied to all; and regulation – the benchmark against which the use of lethal weapons is measured – should have the force of law. It does not.
ISO 28007 has not worked. Some have it; some do not. There are many buyers who do not require it. There are many sellers who do not bother. BIMCO's recent endorsement of ISO 28007 may help. It may be too late. Buying patterns are entrenched. Too many stand outside Anglo-centric regulatory initiatives. It is easy to do so, legally and practically. As former Royal Marines increasingly price themselves out of the market for guards, a once Anglo-centric market along with its regulatory attire becomes increasingly irrelevant.
ISO 28007 may remain the standard for some. Edicts from the UK may be the benchmark for others. But economics is forcing this marketplace to change. There is a very long tail of buyers who have little time for edict, and an equally long tail of sellers who go along.
Who does, who can, police this market? Flag states perhaps. Yet the paradox of policing a market that pays well usually results in piecemeal regulation at best. After all, piracy is a diminishing threat – no vessels have been taken within corporate memory. So why change? Qui bono?
What of littoral states – those adjacent to High Risk Areas? Again, there are economic imperatives at work. Nation states and their agents do well out of maritime security. There is no overwhelming rationale for change.
What of Sri Lanka, the UAE and Oman? Sri Lanka's place in maritime security is channelled through Avant Garde Maritime Services (AGMS) under a public private partnership with RALL, a government-owned business. AGMS is being critically evaluated by the new government. The suggestion is that the Srisena government will change the way it regulates how weapons and men are distributed to passing vessels, in which case AGMS may lose control. But Sri Lanka will not. Pre-AGMS, weapons were held on land and disseminated by the Sri Lankan Navy. Fees were paid. The state took control then; it may do so again.
As to Oman, or the UAE, or indeed any of the littoral states adjacent to the outflow of the Red Sea, there seems to be little real appetite to manage the risks attached to having floating armories within sight. Floating armories are, of course, in international waters, and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea makes a fist of keeping these states away. However, one need only ask what Her Majesty's government might do if there was a floating armory bobbing about within sight of Plymouth.
Which brings us back to regulation and market forces. Consolidation in the maritime security sector is inevitable. Or is it? It should be. Any standard business textbook on strategy will tell you that a market with multiple competitors will shrink to but a few. In a shrinking market, consolidation pressures are more intense. Companies will merge in order to marshal forces. Bankruptcy will emerge where sale, merger or deep pockets are absent.
Consolidation? What Consolidation?
Consolidation has not happened. Why? Some have tried to diversify (PGI). Some have gone bump (GOAGT). Some have divested then gone bump (Drum Cussac). Some are grabbing market share (Ambrey). Others do what they do well (Diapolous). The long tail? All are out there, with shrinking margins, taking risks, fighting to the death.
And it is, perhaps, in this last phrase that the clue to this market is apparent. We have seen at first hand how former soldiers start companies in the space and trade their fighting spirit from the military to the commercial. The enemy bears a different name. And absent commercial experience (which most do not have) the strategic confusion amongst alpha males in charge of such companies leads to a community of egos who cannot see the benefits of cooperation in a disparate market. Who, after all, if two companies merge, is going to step down and be subservient to the other? Better to die trying than take orders from someone else.
This is dangerous. In a poorly policed market, where the trade is civilians offering protection through resort to lethal force, a race to the bottom will result in cut corners. From four to three, from two to one guard on a vessel – a poorly trained guard at that. Economics and ego will force lip service to safety and the very reason guards are on vessels in the first place. Lose (no profit). Lose (no safety).
A Solution? What Solution?
Is there a solution that offers shipowners respite from this worst of all worlds and offers the maritime security community respite from itself? There is. The answer lies in economies of scale. It lies in better logistics. It lies in cooperation and, sometimes, in merger or sale. The market has already found the answer. Unfortunately, in its present guise it is illegal and politically untenable.
The model is this: Put a cheap guard on a salary, put him on vessel after vessel with a kit box, and float him around the Indian Ocean for a couple of months. Avoid land, make fleeting visits to floating armories, and you have a highly efficient business with very high gross margins. Once a guard's salary and costs are paid, the additional revenue is all gravy.
There is value in this (idealized) model. Most maritime companies do not have the infrastructure or the client base to support it. Instead, margins are decimated as a result of flights, agents' fees, weapons' storage costs, floating armory charges, transfers, daily accommodation costs and hotels. If the next transit is a week away, profit may be lost altogether trying to keep guards in theatre. Profit will be lost sending them home. Weapons could be in the wrong place. Kit may be travelling in the wrong direction. Clever logistics management may help. But, fundamentally, a maritime security business trading on increasingly paper thin margins has to find efficiencies to survive.
Unless, of course, it has that critical mass of men, equipment and transit volume. If it has, then clever logistics and financial modelling are key. Critical mass is an absolute. And if critical mass is not an option, common sense, clear strategic thinking and sound commercial management should force decent maritime security companies to find partners to buy or merge with.
Get it right and profit will increase as logistics, financial modelling, economies of scale and buying power combine to force gross and net margins up. Get it wrong and bankruptcy or closure looms. Many maritime security companies understand decent logistics, efficiencies and the bottom line. But they have not the client base to action it. Instead, it is actioned in a piecemeal way. It is actioned in an illegal manner. This has led to the sharing of men and, in particular, weapons. Sharing weapons is illegal, it is politically charged, it is extremely dangerous.
Weapons for Hire – The Beginning of the End
Although no one has an absolutely precise figure to hand, we believe that there are at least 40,000 licensed weapons floating about or stored, ready for use, in the Indian Ocean. They sit on floating armories, adjacent land or are in theatre under use. These weapons are not tracked on a real-time basis. Companies are only put to proof when asked. In other words, regulation requires the sector to know what weapons they have and where they got them from.
Under UK law, weapons cannot be leased, or licensed, or 'lent.' Heavy sanctions wait for those companies that do. But the congruence of economic necessity and piecemeal regulation (many maritime security companies have nothing to do with the UK) means that weapons are passed between companies and used on a mate's basis. For some, if weapons are not shared, the efficiencies that the smaller companies need to survive through sharing will be lost. It is beg, borrow or go bust.
Weapons swapping, sharing, hiring and licensing – it all leads to the same thing. It is not politically sustainable for enough arms to service a third world army to be bobbing about the sea with little idea as to who has what. The UN has taken notice, the U.S. State Department has taken notice, the EU has worked it out and the British Foreign Office has been briefed.
Unless the gift of allowing private citizens to bear arms is to be taken away (or managed) by nation states once again, sensible actors within the maritime security space need to consider how best to service their shareholders and maximize profit in a highly responsible manner – merge, consolidate, sell. Choose economies of scale, clever logistics, astute modelling and commercial cooperation. There really is no alternative.
Weapons cannot and should not be traded at armories or elsewhere. It is the beginning of the end. Equally, shipowners and charterers need to utilize their power and refuse to partake in this race to the bottom. It is, after all, the preservation of the safety of their men that is the end-game. And those that advise the maritime sector – its trade associations and the professional services who have done so well over the last five years, have to stand up for corporate social responsibility.
We live in dangerous times. Somalia remains a failed state. Terrorism is prevalent in theatre. Meaningful regulation is piecemeal. Profit is being decimated. Corners are being cut. Weapons may start to go missing. There is a choice, a viable commercial solution for maritime security companies facing home truths. They must take it before it is too late. – MarEx

Eight woodcuts with title page and tailpiece on handmade paper, printed by François Lafranca, Lugano, Switzerland, published by Peter Blum, New York and Zurich in an edition of 35
Each inscribed 'Francesco Clemente' b.r. and '5/35', P07848 and P07838 not inscribed
Purchased from Peter Blum Editions (Grant-in-Aid) 1983
P07848 [from] High Fever 1982 [P07830-P07838; P07848; complete]
Title page with woodcut on paper 26 1/2×21 5/8-(673 × 549)
Clemente titled this portfolio in Italian, 'Febbre Alta'. It is accompanied by a booklet with a poem by Valerio Magrelli which the artist translates into English as follows:
I want one day
to turn into marble
without any nerves
or tendons or veins.
Dry stone only,
alive, profound and white,
keeping still and relying
only on itself
Though Clemente resists explaining his imagery, preferring to assert the intuitive nature of his work, 'High Fever' is said to be concerned with the birth of his daughter. The poem may therefore refer to his crying out against the anguish of childbirth. There is no narrative but from the simple heart, symbol of declared love with his and his wife's initials, on the title page to the circular tailpiece the prints are a single serial work, the order of which is established not by numbering but by the order of illustrations in the accompanying booklet. The heavy sheets of paper, made at the Lafranca studio, hold very strong impressions from the grainy woodblocks, Clemente's deep gouges and cut lines producing very clear white against a variety of blacks from sooty (P07848, P07830, P07831, P07834) to prussian blue - (P07832, P07835, P07837, P07838) or alizarin crimson - (P07833, P07836) tinged black. The prints have a powerful material character, almost like paper sculpture, unlike his conventional prints but related to his handmade books. The blocks have a satiny grain, the natural pattern of which lies behind the cut image: 'The lines help avoid having the figures fall into emptiness. It is possible to follow the lines, and support is provided by the material of the structure of the wood. Whereas this question of support never occurs in works by American artists, who simply circumvent it, the German Expressionists were from an early period fully aware of this issue...' (the artist, quoted in B. Curiger, Looks et Tenebrae, New York and Zurich 1984, p.158). Clemente has worked in Italy, America and India and the environment in which a particular work is made has always been an important factor in its evolution. Curiger refers to the disquieting effect of Switzerland's nordic landscape and Clemente's idea of woodcut as a nordic medium,... 'Northern in the sense that light must be created from darkness' (p.157). In these prints, as in much of Clemente's work, he uses sexual imagery and symbols as they are used in Tantra, that is as a universal language referring to ultimate enlightenment, but also as direct autobiographical references both physical and spiritual. It is not Tantra as a religion that interests him, however, but its ability to express thought and ideas in its own visual language.

Police are looking into a possible abduction, assault and stabbing incident that occurred in south Nanaimo.
At approximately 2 a.m. on Dec. 27, Nanaimo RCMP say they were called out to rural property after receiving reports of an abduction and assault.
According to Nanaimo RCMP, the homeowner contacted police after finding a man tied up and injured on his property. The 25-year-old male victim was taken to hospital for serious but non-life-threatening injuries, which according to police were consistent with an assault.
Police also say that the 25-year-old indicated that during his alleged abduction, one of his assailants was stabbed.
A 30-year-old man checked into hospital at 3 a.m. on Dec. 27 seeking treatment for a "significant but non-life threatening" upper body stab wound, according to police, who say the man received treatment but refused to co-operate with officers. He was eventually released from hospital and taken into police custody.
"Investigators are attempting to connect the two incidents; however, at this time the investigation remains in the preliminary stages," said Const. Gary O'Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman.
Anyone with information is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or submitting a tip online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.
