Smuggling of firearms into Mexico: Mexicans have a right to own firearms, but legal purchase from the single Mexican gun shop in Mexico City, controlled by the Army, is extremely difficult.  Guns smuggled into Mexico are sometimes obtained at gunshops in the United States and carried across the US-Mexico border.  In other cases the guns are obtained through Guatemalan borders or stolen from the police or military.  Consequently, black market firearms are widely available.  Many firearms are acquired in the U.S. by women with no criminal history, who transfer their purchases to smugglers through relatives, boyfriends and acquaintances and then smuggled to Mexico a few at a time.  The most common smuggled firearms include AR-15 and AK-47 type rifles, and FN 5.7 caliber semi-automatic pistols.  Many firearms are purchased in the United States in a semi-automatic configuration before being converted to fire as select fire machine guns.  Mexico seized in 2009 a combined total of more than 4,400 firearms of the AK-47 and AR-15 type, and 30% of AK-47 type rifles seized have been modified to select fire weapons, effectively creating assault rifles.

The assailants said "You're Jorge Carpio" and then shot him three times.  The other victims of the attack were Alejandro Ávila Guzmán, and Rigoberto Rivas González.

Covariance and contravariance (computer science): Many programming language type systems support subtyping.  For instance, if is subtype of , then an expression of type can be used whenever an expression of type could.  Variance refers to how subtyping between more complex types (list of s versus list of s, function returning versus function returning , ...) relates to subtyping between their components.  Depending on the variance of the type constructor, the subtyping relation may be either preserved, reversed, or ignored.  For example in OCaml, "list of Cat" is a subtype of "list of Animal" because the list constructor is covariant, while "function from Animal to String" is a subtype of "function from Cat to String" because the function type constructor is contravariant in the argument type.

Yekyua: Yekyua or "mother animal" is a class of Yakut spirits that remain hidden until the snow melts in the Spring.  Each yekyua is associated with a particular animal, and they act as familiar spirits to protect the Yakut shaman.  They are dangerous and powerful.  The most dangerous are attached to female shamans.  The type of animal manifestation also determines the strength of the yekyua.  For example, dog yekyua have very little power, while elk yekyua are quite powerful.  Only shaman can see the yekyua.  When a shaman puts his spirit into that of his yekyua, he or she is dependent on his animal part, in as much as if another shaman who has manifested his animal kills that of another, the shaman with the dead animal will himself die.  When the yekyua are fighting in the spring, the shaman with which they are associated feel very ill.  The dog yekyua are not prized as they gnaw at the shaman and destroy his body, bringing him sickness.  Ordinarily, though, a good yekyua protects the shaman.
