Yemen- Who are the Houthis? Zaidism, Rebel group

Who are the Houthis?

The Houthis are members of a rebel group, also known as Ansar Allah (Partisans of God), who adhere to a branch of Shia Islam known as Zaidism. Zaidis make up one-third of the population and ruled North Yemen under a system known as the imamate for almost 1,000 years until 1962.

The Houthis take their name from Hussein Badr al-Din al-Houthi. He led the group's first uprising in 2004 in an effort to win greater autonomy for their heartland of Saada province, and also to protect Zaidi religious and cultural traditions from perceived encroachment by Sunni Islamists.

After Houthi was killed by the Yemeni military in late 2004, his family took charge and led another five rebellions before a ceasefire was signed with the government in 2010.

2.a)- if you cracked the game, reinstall the update. if you want to get rid of the crack files, delete skidrow.ini and steamclient.dll
3- in the game directory, create a notepad file. name it "steam_appid.txt". open it and type 73050 and save.
4- log in to steam (i advise you to use an empty account (no original games) as a precaution in case it gets banned)
5- add magicka as a non-steam game
6- launch magicka from steam
7- when in game, go to online multiplayer.
8- double-click on the server you want to join.
8.b)- if you couldn't find the server, ask the host for their IP address. using that address, click on IP-Address (ingame) and type it in.
9- click on any Join button, select your character. then click ready. when everyone's ready the host can start the game.
10- enjoy.

notes:
- game will eventually recieve new updates, so make sure you have the latest one to ensure you can play with other people.

technical notes:
- when using a virutal LAN (tunngle, hamachi, etc.) and your computer is behind a router or a DSL modem make sure you port forward the necessary ports (google them). some games require you to open some ports, so you might just open those too.
- the default port for magicka is 27016

How to use MuPDF with your EXISTING Eclipse project

How to use MuPDF with your EXISTING Eclipse project:

1. Copy the 'jni' folder from the <mupdf>/android folder into your existing Eclipse project.
2. Copy the <mupdf>/thirdparty folder into the 'jni' folder in your project.
3. Copy the <mupdf>/cbz folder into the 'jni' folder in your project.
4. Copy the <mupdf>/draw folder into the 'jni' folder in your project.
5. Copy the <mupdf>/fitz folder into the 'jni' folder in your project.
6. Copy the <mupdf>/generated folder into the 'jni' folder in your project.

to

MUPDF_ROOT := $(TOP_LOCAL_PATH)

11. Save 'Android.mk'.
12. Open 'Core.mk' inside the 'jni' folder.
13. Change

MY_ROOT := ../..

to

MY_ROOT := $(LOCAL_PATH)


14. Change all the

..

in LOCAL_C_INCLUDES to

$(LOCAL_PATH)

14. Save 'Core.mk'.
