Airport officials found the equivalent of £63,372 in cash stashed inside a SUITCASE HANDLE
Airport officials found the equivalent of £63,372 stashed inside a suitcase handle.
Officials from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) say they caught a man with the bag at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in northern India’s Delhi.
A video shows officials breaking open the handles to remove the currency – which contained foreign currency including euros and New Zealand dollars.
Security personnel intercepted the man carrying the notes at terminal three during security checks, local sources said.
He was later handed over to Customs officials for further investigation.
The incident happened on January 29, 2023.
#! code: Drupal 10: Programatically Injecting Context Into Blocks
Context definitions in Drupal are really useful when you want to inject context into your plugins and I have been using them for a little while now. It has made building custom blocks to add content to pages much easier as I don’t need to copy the same block of code to find an entity of a particular sort into the block plugin.
One problem I encountered when using this technique was when trying to programatically create and render a block. The problem was that the context wasn’t available in the block when it was used in this way, and it took me a little investigation to find out how to put all of the pieces together.
Rendering a block programatically is sometimes a necessity to do when you need the block outside of the block’s normal region. You might create a block that collects together the output of a number of blocks, which allows you to template them together in a very precise way. You might also need to print out a block without having to create a region on a page.
There are a few steps involved in getting things working in this way. In this article I will show how to print blocks programatically, and how to do so using context.
To show the problem in detail, let’s take an example of a block called UserContextBlock that has a user entity as the available context. This is a custom block, created in a custom module.
solidity gem – (fuzzy quick & dirty) parser for (crypto) contracts for ethereum & co.
Hello, in the ongoing crypto winter programming series in ruby I added yet another gem, that is, solidity that ships with a (fuzzy quick & dirty) parser for the solidity (contract) programming language. What’s the point? The first usage sample is to generate outlines from contract sources – see some real-world examples in the readme. Happy blockchaining with ruby. Cheers. Prost.
