Cipla Medpro on Monday announced that its first-line, combination antiretroviral drug Triomune has been registered in South Africa, Reuters South Africa reports ( Reuters South Africa , 4/24). According to iafrica.com , Triomune is composed of lamivudine, nevirapine and stavudine, all of which are part of the first-line treatment regimen recommended by the Department of Health in South Africa, the South African HIV Clinicians Society, the World Health Organization and other groups. People using Triomune have increased immunity, decreased viral loads and fewer opportunistic infections and have been shown to gain weight, iafrica.com reports. The drug is thought to have lower costs associated with storage, production, dispensing and transport, which likely will increase patients' access to it in South Africa. "Triomune is indeed a breakthrough and represents Cipla Medpro's commitment to making life-saving medicines accessible and affordable to the broader population," Trevor Edwards, CEO of Enaleni Pharmaceuticals, said ( iafrica.com , 4/24).

Nominations open for Screen Queensland's Equity and Diversity Taskforce
by Sean Slatter June 2, 2021 June 2, 2021
Screen Queensland is calling on nominations for its inaugural Equity and Diversity Taskforce, set to be established next month.
Drawn from inside and outside the screen industry, the primary role of the taskforce is to develop a three-year diversity plan to guide the agency in setting strategic goals and measurable performance targets.
Screen Queensland CEO Kylie Munnich said the group would also provide a safe forum for representatives from the screen industry, equalities groups, and civil society to contribute to the diversity plan, which will be reviewed and endorsed by the SQ board.
"Increasing diversity and inclusion in the Queensland screen industry is a key priority for Screen Queensland and establishing a taskforce with representation from diverse groups with a shared commitment to this goal is a critical first step," she said.
"Both globally and locally, the screen industry has had to evolve significantly in order to be more representative of the wider community and there is still much work to be done.
"We recognise that Screen Queensland is in a privileged position to lead change for groups and individuals who, in the past, have not had equal access to screen opportunities."
Five to eight members will be selected for the taskforce on the basis of a demonstrated track record and expertise in anti-racism, anti-discrimination and diversity action.
Once selected, they will meet four times a year, two in person and two via teleconference.
Screen Queensland chief creative officer Jo Dillon, who is also the outgoing co-chair of the Screen Diversity Inclusion Network (SDIN), said the benefit of increasing diversity and inclusion in the screen industry was equally split between positive social change, better storytelling, and market demand.
"Historically, screen audiences had access to a very narrow range of human experience and representation; the fact that this is changing on a rapid and global scale is very exciting – both for audiences and the under-represented creatives behind this new wave of storytelling," she said.
"The appetite for diverse screen stories, capturing the lives and perspectives of the broadest range of human experience is at all all-time high, but without true diversity in our industry we won't be tapping into these fresh and original stories.
"I'm proud to be part of an industry and an organisation supporting such an essential shift in how we make content and see the world reflected back to us on screen."
Nominations can be submitted here and close at 5pm on Friday, June 18.

Texting in movies and TV: Tony Zhou's video essay explores how filmmakers depict text messaging and the Internet.
We've featured Tony Zhou's video essays before, on what American comedy filmmakers could learn from Edgar Wright, on how Martin Scorsese uses silence, and on what makes a Michael Bay movie a Michael Bay movie. In his latest video essay, Zhou looks at how a range of movies and TV shows are addressing one relatively new problem: how to depict text messaging.
Like Zhou, I favor the approach taken by Sherlock, which shows text messages in on-screen titles, though I'm not sure it would fit as well into movies and TV shows that are less stylish. And though Sherlock was the first show I noticed using this technique, Zhou points out that many movies that are less well-known had used it before—if, often, less well. Filmmakers may still not have figured out the best way to depict texting, but they would be wise to put some thought into it, perhaps by taking a look at this sharp analysis from Zhou.

At least 62 civilians killed in a series of attacks by ADF militants this week in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, officials say, while an NGO says seven people were killed by Mai-Mai militia in volatile Beni region.

Suspected militants killed at least 62 civilians in a series of attacks this week in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, where the army is waging a counter-insurgency campaign against the militants and rebels, the government said on Saturday.
The government provided the death toll of 62 in the minutes of a cabinet meeting, without offering any additional details. It said the army was "dismantling the networks of collaborators and of her agents thanks to the information provided by captured ADF [Allied Democratic Forces] fighters".
Officials said on Wednesday that at least 30 people had been killed overnight near the city of Oicha. Civil society activists reported that dozens more civilians were killed in attacks on nearby villages on Thursday.
The upsurge in violence after a period of relative calm in early January undercuts government claims of security progress against the ADF, a Ugandan group active in Beni territory.
Rights group The Centre for Studies to promote Peace, Democracy and Human Rights (CEPADHO) said ADF militants had killed at least 74 civilians, many of them women and children, with knives and guns.
It said the attacks spanned about 10 villages over the course of less than 48 hours.

Over 300 killed since October
The army has repeatedly claimed to have made sweeping progress against the group by killing several top commanders and capturing many of its camps in the dense forests near the Ugandan border.
But the ADF, which arrived in Congo from Uganda in the 1990s, has survived frequent onslaughts from DRC forces and UN peacekeepers, and taken revenge on civilian populations.
It is one of the dozens of armed groups active in DRC's mineral-rich eastern borderlands, where regional wars around the turn of the century resulted in millions of deaths.
The Kivu Security Tracker, a research initiative that maps unrest in the region, said the latest attacks bring to at least 312 the number of civilians killed by the ADF in Beni since the army launched its offensive on October 30.
Daesh has publicly claimed responsibility for several attacks carried out in Beni territory, but the United Nations and various researchers have been unable to confirm any direct link between Daesh and the ADF.
Seven killed in new raid
Also on Saturday, seven people were killed in a fresh attack by the Mai-Mai militia on three police posts in the east, CEPADHO said.
Seven bodies were found and seven others were injured in the raids late Friday in Mamove in the volatile Beni region, the rights group said.
It was not clear if the dead were civilians or policemen.
In the neighbouring Ituri province, militiamen attacked a hospital at Biakato, which was serving as an Ebola treatment centre.
The UN's Okapi radio said work at the centre had been suspended as a result.
"Two Mai-Mai militiamen were killed and a schoolgirl was injured by a bullet," Idriss Koma, the top local official told AFP news agency.
The attackers were pushed back by UN peacekeepers and DRC soldiers, sources said.
Spate of massacres
The spate of massacres has become a major challenge for President Felix Tshisekedi, who took office about a year ago.
In November, angry protests erupted in the city of Beni, an administrative hub, as citizens accused the UN peacekeeping force in DRC of failing to protect them.

El Plus D o +D fue una interfaz de disquete e impresora de puerto paralelo para el ordenador doméstico Sinclair ZX Spectrum 16, 48, 128 y +2 (el de carcasa gris) si bien también se distribuyó un modelo compatible con el +3/+2A a través de un patch. Se desarrolló como sucesor del DISCiPLE, primer producto de Miles Gordon Technology, con la idea de ser más barato, pequeño, simple, calentarse menos y ser así más fiable.

Características
Se desechan las características menos importantes del producto anterior (los puertos de red y joystick, el botón de inhibir y el conector trasero) - y se substituye el diseño en cuña para caber debajo del Spectrum por una caja plana de metal que sobresalía en la trasera. Además de más sólida, actuaba de disipador de calor, algo muy necesario pues los dos chips Pal20L8 (matrices lógicas programables o Programmable array logic) se calientan más que un Pentium.

Proporciona las siguientes prestaciones :
 Interfaz controladora de hasta 2 unidades de disquete de Doble Densidad (conector compatible Shugart) controlada por un chip WDC1772.
 Interfaz de impresora de puerto paralelo unidireccional compatible con los códigos Epson
 Botón NMI que congela la ejecución y permite salvar, imprimir, configurar o ejecutar un programa previamente cargado en sus 8 KB de memoria RAM interna (desensambladores, buscadores de POKEs, editores de UDG e incluso buscadores de "Sprites" y gráficos de fondo). Si no hay ninguno cargado, la funcionalidad por defecto de las teclas numéricas es :
 Se imprime la pantalla
 Se imprime la pantalla en doble resolución.
 Se guarda la pantalla en disco.
 Se guarda un programa de 48K en disco.
 Se guarda un programa de 128K en disco.
8 KB de memoria RAM interna
8 KB de Shadow ROM (en una EPROM en zócalo actualizable)

Aparte de los puertos eliminados, su funcionalidad es la misma y todo el soft y hard diseñado para el DISCiPLE funciona en el Plus D.

Su DOS se llamó G+DOS y es compatible con el GDOS del DISCiPLE. El SAM DOS del SAM Coupé es compatible con ambos.

En Inglaterra se formó un grupo de usuarios llamado INDUG, conocido posteriormente como Format Publications.

El diseño del +D se licenció a Datel para conseguir financiar el desarrollo del SAM Coupé, y se siguió vendiendo incluso después de la desaparición de MGT

En España Tecnex continúa la distribución inicial, pero El Corte Inglés comienza a distribuirlo dada la popularidad alcanzada.

The Japanese prosecutor's office is considering questioning the wife of Carlos Ghosn on suspicion that part of the payments of Nissan Motor to an Oman company were diverted to accounts of a company on behalf of the woman, told the Kyodo news agency close to the case.
The prosecution suspects that the company on behalf of Carole Ghosn used part of these diverted funds to acquire a yacht for family use.
The new proceedings that brought Ghosn back to prison are related to a series of transfers made in 2015 and 2018 to a distributor in Oman that, according to the prosecution, ended up in part in bank accounts controlled by Ghosn and his family, including in the coffers of a company represented by his wife.
The Tokyo court hearing the case approved Friday to extend the detention of Carlos Ghosn for another 10 days until April 14.
The preventive detention could be extended after another ten days if the court considers that more time is needed to investigate in order to present a formal accusation against the Franco-Brazilian businessman.
Ghosn, 65, was arrested for the first time on November 19 in Tokyo, accused of having concealed from the financial authorities of Japan millions in compensation supposedly agreed with Nissan.
About the employer weigh three formal accusations, two related to the concealment of compensation, and a third of Nissan's abuse of confidence for allegedly using funds from the company to cover personal financial losses and make payments, unjustified for the company, to a Saudi businessman.
The lawyers of Ghosn, who denies all the charges, have said that they will make public a message of his defendant videotaped on April 11, day in which the employer had planned to offer a press conference, something that will not be possible after his new detention.


In Stipe Miocic's final successful title defense, he defeated Francis Ngannou in the main event of UFC 220 and made those who bet against him think twice about doubting the winningest UFC heavyweight champion of all time. Many considered Ngannou to have been the scariest threat to Miocic's reign, as Ngannou was on a tear of 10 consecutive victories and four straight first-round finishes before being humbled by Miocic.
In Miocic's next defense, he would lose the championship to Daniel Cormier at UFC 226. Since losing the championship, Miocic has sat out and been lobbying for a rematch against Daniel Cormier.
Francis Ngannou will be facing Cain Velasquez in the main event of UFC Phoenix. Ngannou believes that a victory over Velasquez would be enough to earn him a title shot. But from the sounds of it, if he were to be passed over in favor of Stipe Miocic, he would not offer much of a protest.
Whom do you believe would deserve a title shot against Daniel Cormier more? Francis Ngannou with a win over Cain Velasquez or Stipe Miocic?

Has apple lost the digital download war?
Discussion in 'Apple TV and Home Theater' started by Dunk the Lunk, Dec 27, 2013.
This Christmas I got three blurays, two of which included UV copies (inc Breaking Bad Season 1). My sister got one which also had a UV copy. No sign of any iTunes copies. As a UK user UV appears to be a bag of balls so I tried blagging iTunes codes from Flixster but had no luck. I'm tied to flixster so no HD versions, no extras, and I have to download extra apps for my Mac and very overcrowded iPhone. Plus I can't stream to my TV as there is no support through my PS3 un the UK. Great.
However I really think Apple has dropped the ball on this one, and has already lost the war without putting up much of a fight. UV only launched two years ago in the UK and is now dominating the market. Although I would much rather have the films in iTunes I'm not prepared to pay again. Plus as I understand it they are also introducing a legal disc to digital service (already launched in the states). I can't see apple introducing this as none of their own computers have optical drives anymore.
So what future for the film and tv sections of the iTunes store? I can't see them being a commercial success if people are getting UV copies. And what future for the ATV and any future full size TV. I can't see Apple supporting UV anytime soon but I doubt they're ever going to be successful without supporting it.
Why not rip them into iTunes?
Many of us do it all the time (418 movies here).
Apple is just one company, often with disney/pixar's backing.
Check out how many companies are behind it. There's quite a few movie studios behind that standard too. Kinda disappointing, but I'm guessing Apple probably didn't want to give up profit margins or the other companies were asking for too many privileges/restrictions.
Movies are a bag of hurt lol.
Because they're blurays. I know the next response will be buy a bluray drive but sadly for most lazy users, including myself, we can't be doing with the faff (and time and expense). The reason I like the Apple ecosystem is everything is easy and works together, and ripping is not part of this. If there was a disc to digital option built into iTunes I'd probably use this, at least for my dvds, but I can't see apple doing this as they've sold so many macs in the last few years without an optical drive.
If Apple had heavily supported digital downloads from the off large numbers of people would have large iTunes libraries full of movies and shows, and many would probably now be buying directly from the iTunes store. However I think UV is forcing many of us, including Apple users, into another ecosystem and leaving apple behind.
Isn't the real (unmentioned) problem here, that our relatives haven't yet twigged that they should be buying as iTunes vouchers instead of blurays for Christmas?
I'll still have a placed for large box sets on my shelf, but am strongly considering ripping and ditching my entire DVD collection; and possibly even doing the same for stand-alone (non box set) blurays.
I own no physical music any more.
Books, however, will continue to fill my home.
The trend seems to be streaming the movies/tv shows instead of owning them with a all you can eat type of service: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, cable on demand solution, etc.
iTunes video quality is not comparable to Blu-Ray.
Not sure if it works in the UK, but it supports the PS3 and other devices.
Maybe another way you can try is with a VPN service to obtain an IP address in the US.
I really want to switch to iTunes only for movies, but not until they a) improve iTunes Extras to include ALL extras, and more importantly b) get iTunes Extras working on Apple TV 2/3.
There're loads of things I'd like to buy, but I'm holding off in hope something's done about it.
Books on a bookshelf are a decorative enhancement to your home and make you look smart/interesting. CDs, DVDs and Blu Rays on a bookshelf look terrible, and make you look like a nerd with no life.
don't know if apple wants too much money for their digital copy but Warner is all UV now. other studios are split.
i buy some digital movies but only at a big discount from the physical copy. this week itunes had the LOTR extended editions for $30 for all three movies.
The question is whether Apple even wanted to stay in that market. They have been pushing us away from physical media since the iPod, so it wouldn't be surprising if they will completely phase out these digital copies with the purchase of a bluray.
I am personally a fan of the disc to digital service since it gives me a cloud copy of some of my DVDs and Blurays. I wish UV would completely take over that segment of the industry and then I could backup more of my DVDs/Blurays in the cloud. Right now, the main problem with the service is that it only works with some movies, so you can't go to Vudu/UV/Flixter to access all of your movies, which is a pain when you sit down to watch a movie and find out it wasn't one of the movies you could back up to the cloud. It is also the main reason to still use Plex.
I currently have a few movies on Apple, Amazon, and several on Vudu, so I hope someone becomes the "go to" service for digital copies from DVDs/Blurays so I can consolidate eveything.
UV is still so limited geographically, what takeover can we talk about here?
I struggled with the idea of adopting Vudu, which seems to be the push from movie studios. I sure love the idea of playing my content on any device. In the end I decided the pro's of sticking with iTunes outweighed the cons. Having all of my "owned" content in iTunes ensures that I always watch the highest quality regardless of internet conditions. It also conserves bandwidth which is helpful b/c we are otherwise a 100% streaming household (no cable tv). On top of all that, if I feel like streaming to my iPad or iPhone, I will get HD quality...VUDU only supports SD on mobile devices.
I was also concerned about longevity of either service. I know that if the UV locker or VUDU goes belly up, they will not give two ****** about the customer's content. If iTunes movies go belly up, Apple is far too visible of a company. They will find a way to make it up customers.
Now that iTunes is being shut out of the "digital copy" market, I just buy iTunes direct. I used to convert from disc if it was a better price but I've wasted far too much of my life doing that. I admit I'm rolling the dice a little. I suppose the worst way this will play out is if the iTunes movie service sticks around but only offers a small selection of releases. Then I would be forced to have my movies fragmented across services, which is the last thing I want.
Studios are flocking to UV kind of how Sony threw a lot of stuff on MiniDisc. It's not that UV is in any way better. They just want control over their stuff instead of watching Apple do it so well and call the shots.
Don't forget that these are merely included digital copies from people buying physical media. You've got a ton of people ripping BDs they purchase into iTunes. Then you have a ton buying straight from iTunes.
I tried working with a UV copy once and wanted to rip my hair out. If Apple ever cracks the code with a more enhanced TV or full out TV set, look out. I'm hooked on disc-free now even with the few drawbacks. I'd much rather spend the extra money buying small hard disks to store downloads instead of bookshelves and boxes storing discs. I just wish all of this had existed a decade ago, because I have an old dresser filled with DVDs.
Haha, damn. Apple doesn't stand a chance against that Juggernaut. If that entity wanted to, they could do very bad things to Apple.
As vain as it sounds I completely agree. When I first picked up reading (I didn't actually read books until my early 20's) having the physical copy on a shelf gave me a sense of accomplishment. I just never stopped since.
Bluerays, dvd's, games I keep in a drawer in my guest bedroom out of sight.
I went to buying BR's only when I can get it REALLY cheap. If I have a choice and want something around release day (I just buy it on iTunes).
I personally save up for the Christmas Season as you always see the $100 iTunes cards for $80. I load up on a couple of those and end up paying about $15 for a new release film. If it's a old movie I always try to find it on disc though as it's always much better than buying off iTunes.
Just write gift cards on your wish list instead of BR's.
Personally I am still not satisfied with the quality of HD movies on iTunes. I'd like them to raise the bitrate.
I have ripped a few movies from dvd into itunes for my iphone using handbrake's universal setting. I find that movies purchased directly from itunes have a much better and louder sound than the ripped ones, so I like buying on itunes for that reason. Is there a better sound setting (louder) I should be choosing in handbrake?
Use Apple TV 3 and then move the Constant Quality slider down to 24. That's what I did. Seems to be a nice compromise between quality and file size. Just using ATV3 made the files huge.
Under the Audio tab there is a "Gain" modifier.
But don't go too high, you can distort the channels if there is a lot of bass or other loud sounds. 1-2dB might be a good starting point. 3dB is "double" the volume in the sense of the scale.
Just saying: 3 TB external hard drives can be found for £70. Storing a DVD on a hard drive, at an average size of 7 GB, costs you about 16 pence. A lot cheaper if you compress them with Handbrake.
I went through this exercise. Converted about 200 DVD's and 70 blu rays. Everything was boxed up in the garage for a few years until I finally said screw it and disposed of all the movies. My only regret is that I didn't get 1080p conversions of all my blu rays. I was doing 720p for awhile (before ATV3 came out). I wish I would have kept those blu rays I wanted to re-rip for 1080p conversions.
They haven't lost it at all. All UV is, is the movie studios attempting to prolong the life of optical media. While I agree that the quality of BD is higher than an iTunes HD download, on the average person's TV/Home Theater the difference is negligible at most. This means that for most people (who consider standard DVD to be outstanding) you have two competing platforms.
The studios created UV specifically to keep people out of iTunes. There are major advantages for them with the physical media model.
1. In large quantities physical media costs very little to produce. For full priced content studios see a higher margin than when they give Apple 30%.
2. Studios sell at wholesale, in bulk. Unsold copies are usually simply marked down by retailers and sold at a loss rather than returned. This means that even if the DVD/BR is a flop, the studio makes money because retailers want to have the latest titles. On iTunes, if the movie stinks, no one buys it...that's it.
3. DVD/BR are used by mass market retailers as loss-leader promotional items. Target or Wal-Mart know that they're losing money when they sell DVD's for less than wholesale, but they don't care because you'll buy a cartload of other crap when you come into the store to get it. This is a HUGE benefit to studios over iTunes.
4. Studios know that retailers stock 95% or more of nothing but big hollywood movies. No competition from smaller indie studios or distributors. On iTunes, that competition exists and may influence a consumer's spending.
Of course, all of those benefits for the studios aren't really benefits for the consumer or even for the industry as a whole in the long run. The days of optical media are ending, it's just a question of how long it will take. The convenience and rapidly improving quality of digital movies outweighs the old format, there's no way around it. It's just a matter of the majority of the population moving off of the old formats, which takes time.
Thanks to iTunes I found out about Europa Report. I have heard NDT talk about wanting to go ice fishing on Europa to potentially find life, then I saw this movie before it even hit theaters. It was science nerdy awesome. I think it's a great service for indie movies to get noticed. The place in Atlanta that shows them a lot is way too far away, and who knows what the quality is. But for $8 I rented it.
I do wonder if people will switch media backed by big studios or if smaller ones will support digital delivery and take over. Macklemore created his own label and was one of the best-selling artists of the year. That's just one guy and music is a cheaper production. But I could see it happening in the midrange future.

Roque Victoriano González Garza (Saltillo, Coahuila; 23 de marzo de 1885 - Ciudad de México; 12 de noviembre de 1962) fue un militar mexicano que participó en la Revolución Mexicana. Fue presidente de México con carácter de provisional del 16 de enero al 10 de junio de 1915, en sustitución de Eulalio Gutiérrez Ortiz.

Primeros años
Nació el 23 de marzo de 1885 en la ciudad de Saltillo, Coahuila, al norte de México, siendo sus padres don Agustín G. González y doña Prisciliana Garza González, según lo consta su acta de nacimiento:

En su juventud realizó estudios en una primaria local y después estudió en el Ateneo Fuente de Saltillo. Trabajó como oficinista y luego pasó a radicar a Nuevo León. En la Ciudad de México estudió posteriormente una carrera comercial.

Inicios revolucionarios
Su participación en política se remonta a 1908, cuando comenzó su oposición al régimen de Porfirio Díaz. Al igual que su hermano, el lic. Federico González Garza, se hizo ferviente partidario y colaborador de Francisco I. Madero, a quien acompañó en su gira presidencial.

Luchó al lado de Madero en el combate a Casas Grandes, de acuerdo con el Plan de San Luis, con la misma entereza que este. En dicha acción expuso su vida por salvar a Madero, quien había sido herido en el antebrazo; también fue comisionado para ir a buscar a Francisco Villa, quien había sentido un gran afecto por él.

Estuvo también en la batalla de Ciudad Juárez, que significó el triunfo del maderismo, y como capitán ayudante de Madero cruzó la línea de fuego y se desempeñó como parlamentario ante el general federal Juan J. Navarro, quien era jefe de la guarnición de la plaza.

Figuró como diputado en la primera Cámara al ser electo Madero presidente de la República y, constituyó con otros legisladores, el bloque renovador que defendía la política gubernamental contra las críticas del grupo conocido como "Cuadrilátero", formado por Nemesio García Naranjo, Querido Moheno, Francisco M. de Olaguíbel y José María Lozano.

Adhesión a Francisco Villa
Después de la decena trágica, González Garza se unió a la División del Norte, comandada por Francisco Villa en contra del gobierno golpista de Victoriano Huerta, donde González Garza se convirtió en el hombre de confianza del Centauro del Norte.

Después de la toma de Zacatecas, cuando surgieron los desacuerdos entre Carranza, Villa y Zapata, fungió como uno de los secretarios diligentes, que con representantes de la División del Norte y las fuerzas de Pablo González Garza llegaron a conclusiones y acuerdos que Carranza no aceptó. Ante este rechazo muchos maderistas decidieron unirse a Villa quien se vio obligado a desconocer a Carranza como jefe de la Revolución.

Convención de Aguascalientes
Participó en la Convención de Aguascalientes como representante de Francisco Villa y fue encargado de presidir las sesiones de la asamblea. Participó en la formulación del programa mínimo de principios que fue la raíz sobre la cual la Convención lanzó su manifiesto a la nación del 13 de noviembre de 1914.

Presidente convencionista
Tras la toma de la Ciudad de México y la huida de Eulalio Gutiérrez, Roque González fue designado presidente interino el 16 de enero de 1915 y ostentó el cargo hasta el 10 de junio del mismo año, al verse obligado a renunciar en favor del secretario Francisco Lagos Cházaro.

Como encargado del poder ejecutivo, González Garza siempre buscó la reconciliación de las facciones revolucionarias. Dejó la presidencia de la república, entre otras cosas, por las objeciones que hizo en su contra el zapatista Manuel Palafox, por lo que entregó el mando al licenciado Francisco Lagos Cházaro, el 11 de julio de ese mismo año.

Tras su renuncia volvió a incorporarse a las tropas de Francisco Villa, incorporándose a las fuerzas de los generales Rodolfo Fierro y Canuto Reyes, hasta que las derrotas de los villistas lo obligaron a exiliarse en los Estados Unidos.

Acción Revolucionaria Mexicanista

En 1933, González Garza cofundó el grupo paramilitar fascista Acción Revolucionaria Mexicanista junto con muchos otros militantes de la Revolución Mexicana. Dirigió el grupo paramilitar hasta 1934, donde le sucedió Nicolás Rodríguez Carrasco.  Aunque ya no era líder, mantuvo su protagonismo en el grupo. En marzo de 1935, González Garza y Ovidio Pedrero Valenzuela dirigieron el grupo a caballo asaltando y destruyendo la recién creada sede del Partido Comunista Mexicano en la Ciudad de México.

Vida posterior a la presidencia
Regresó a México después de la muerte de Venustiano Carranza y recibió el título de general de división. Fue presidente de la Legión de Honor Mexicana; después de retirarse del ejército fue nombrado diputado en la XXX Legislatura. Fue nombrado por el presidente Adolfo López Mateos coordinador de las obras de la Vega de Meztitlán, Hidalgo, y de escribir algunas memorias de la Revolución mexicana. Murió en la Ciudad de México el 12 de noviembre de 1962.

Escribió, junto con P. Ramos Romero y J. Pérez Rul, La batalla de Torreón. Apuntes para la Historia, en 1914, cuyo prólogo estuvo a cargo del poeta peruano radicado en México José Santos Chocano.

Grados militares
 Capitán primero, bajo las órdenes de Francisco I. Madero (1911).
 Mayor en las fuerzas de Pascual Orozco (1911).
 Teniente coronel a las órdenes de Venustiano Carranza (1913).
 Coronel en la División del Norte del Ejército Constitucionalista (1914).
 General Brigadier y general de brigada después de la Convención de Aguascalientes, al mando del general Villa (1914).

The dollar fell against the yen on Thursday as growing investor aversion to riskier assets hit equities and pushed down U.S. Treasury yields.
The U.S. currency dropped 0.4 percent to 112.72 yen , handing back its modest gains made overnight.
Global equity markets have been shaken and the dollar fell this week after an inversion in a part of the U.S. Treasury yield curve triggered market concerns about economic growth.
Adding to the jitters on Thursday was the arrest in Canada of a top executive of Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies, fanning fears of a flare-up in tensions between China and the United States just as the two sides are supposed to be resuming trade negotiations.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down 1.9 percent and Japan's Nikkei lost more than 2 percent.
U.S. Treasury yields fell, pressuring the dollar.
"Lower Treasury yields are driving the dollar lower against the yen. It is difficult to pinpoint how much funds investors have transferred from equities to bonds in the recent risk aversion and it is too early to call a bottom for Treasury yields," said Yukio Ishizuki, senior currency strategist at Daiwa Securities.
The 10-year Treasury yield fell to a three-month low of 2.885 percent on Tuesday and last stood at 2.890 percent.
Signals from the Federal Reserve last week that it may be nearing an end to its three-year rate hiking cycle have helped trigger the slide in Treasury yields.
The spread between the two-year and five-year Treasury yields inverted this week and the two-year/10-year spread was at its flattest in more than a decade amid a sharp fall in long-term rates.
A flatter curve is seen as an indicator of a slowing economy, with lower longer-dated yields suggesting a potential recession down the road.
"The dollar could remain under pressure until this month's Fed meeting as long-term Treasury yields may not be able to mount a rebound until the market sees the Fed's stance on policy and the economy," said Junichi Ishikawa, senior FX strategist at IG Securities in Tokyo.
The yen, often sought in times of market unrest, made strides against other peers as well.
The euro lost 0.4 percent to 127.87 yen, the Australian dollar slumped 1 percent to 81.45 yen and the pound fell 0.5 percent to 143.40 yen.
The euro was little changed at $1.1340 after retreating from this week's high of $1.1419 scaled on Tuesday.
The Australian dollar, sensitive to swings in risk sentiment, was down 0.7 percent at $0.7220 .
The pound was a shade lower at $1.2721 .
Sterling had sunk to a 17-month low of $1.2659 at one point on Tuesday after parliamentary setbacks for Prime Minister Theresa May.

NBA D-League Player News
Pops Mensah-Bonsu Is Returning To The NBA This Week
By Scott Schroeder Updated Sep 14, 2010, 10:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Pops Mensah-Bonsu Is Returning To The NBA This Week
Former NBA player Pops Mensah-Bonsu was apparently released by Caja Laboral in Spain due to a pre-existing knee injury that caused him to fail a physical over the weekend, though Draft Express' Jonathan Givony noted on Twitter that it was "an injury everyone & their grandma knew he had" and if the team "had done ANY research at all into Pops' background, they would have discovered this issue with his knee immediately."
The knee injury obviously didn't limit Mensah-Bonsu's basketball skills, either, as he was an absolute stud for Great Britain's hational team during their play this summer in the Eurobasket qualifiers. In eight games, Mensah-Bonsu averaged 19.3 points and 13.5 rebounds with his best game probably being 32 points, 21 rebounds and four blocks he hung on Bosnia as part of a 94-85 victory on August 26.
It could turn out that being released from his team in Spain is a blessing in disguise for the NBA veteran and former D-League All-Star, however, as he will sign with an NBA team this week according to agent John Greig. Greig wouldn't specify which team Mensah-Bonsu is signing with, only revealing that it is "not a team in the Northwest Division."
So sorry Nuggets, Jazz, Blazers, Thunder and Timberwolves fans - your team will not be adding Nana Papa Yaw Dwene "Pops" Mensah-Bonsu this offseason.
Fun fact: The news was actually first reported, as far as I can tell, by Sacramento Kings' rookie DeMarcus Cousins - another of Greig's clients.

Alert: This image will not be available to download or license after November 2.
Looks like the party might be over fairly soon after all. Oh well.
Exploring a bit further on PCP it's actually quite difficult to find images that don't have that message (apart from the really dated wholly-owned stuff with everyone in brown suits, etc). Their customers must be delighted seeing that everwhere, especially if they've only recently renewed their subscription!
Most sales from StockXpert are coming from photos.com or Jupiterimages.
Most sales maybe but not most of the money. JIU/PC together are only about one third of my StockXpert revenue. Shame to lose it though.
It was buy buy StockXpert now it's by-by StockXpert.
Thanks for the update Gostwyck. I don't do sample searches there, so I probably would not have known until the sales just dried up.
I still don't see how this could possibly be a sound business decision on their part to remove, what 80-90% of the content from their sub sites?
From reading the Jonathan Klein statements posted by Sean on Istock it sounds like Getty has big plans for their subscription sites, but where will they get the content?
With the poor deal being offered to independents through istock and with the dislike of many exclusives to low sub prices and to having their brand diluted, how is Getty going to stock their sub sites???
Next month, the ultimate subscription will get even better: We're adding a new content source and will be adding fresh content daily. Expect over 1 million new images by the end of November.
While the current page says over 350,000 images. Maybe it's not all bad news? Where do you guess they will be getting 1 million new images to replace the over 350,000 images they now offer? IS isn't going to move best sellers from the profitable area into cheap downloads. Possibly from another partnership with a different site?
Considering that most of the Micro sites offer basically all the same images, it's like moving your money from one pocket to another. Nothing changes except where it comes from when you spend it.
Maybe for StockXpert it will mean attracting more customers there for better sales, not the 30c subs.
Why is everyone so negative all the time?
If they close StockXpert and mail me a final payment, that's fine. Same as LO and SV. How many people here are still feeling negative economic effects from SV or LO closing down? Do you really, really miss those two?
I'm not following this very well. Really never have??? What does the red-letter message have to do with StockXpert?
Maybe I'm seeing it from a different point of view. I opted out of JIU/Photos.com. Do the red letters mean that anyone wanting the "red-letter" images will have to buy them from StockXpert?
I awesomely hope that you are right. I don't want to start selling extended licence for 0.30 on Istock. I'm opted out of that rip off, it was a mistake. Nothing more to add about photos.com "deal"
I would like to see something positive in this and I really hope you are right, RacePhoto.
StockXpert has always had steady sales for me and I would like that some replacement is found for that volume.
The concern is that the agencies are looking for some short term boosts in income but that for contributors this may come at the expense of long term income growth.
I wanted to point out that maybe there will be something positive at StockXpert and it's not the end. Photos.com will have to get that 1 million photos from somewhere else. I don't know what Jupiter will do?
But if StockXpert shuts down and pays me, I won't complain. The sales are inconsequential and almost 100% of mine are 30c subs. People who opted out of that program shouldn't be missing much either. For me this all may be good news.
Actually on Photos.com it says "Search over 2 million images". Maybe for new customers they limited the access to only 350,000.
I actually do not believe that the one million will come through other sources than from iS. There was a newsletter a long time ago which stated that istock already has a few hundered thousand images opted in for that plan. It was a pretty high number not so far away from that 1 million.
Oh and StockXpert is a far better earner than LO and SV combined.
I made a very high five-digits amount with StockXpert in only a few years with nearly zero work because I had the pictures with IPTC already and uploading was supereasy (I never felt the need to categorize), I also liked the fair percentage etc. I will miss them very much.
I also missing LO liked the style of the site and made a decent amount of money (four-digits) in the short time they existed.
It is my prediction that the only change to StockXpert as a contributor is that the majority of their sales will be on demand sales. If StockXpert's database becomes more different then what's available on Istock's then this may be a possitive change for us contributors.
OD sales are 0 right now. Do you mean "positive" zero???
StockXpert is redundant in the Getty scheme of things. If they decide to dump the non-exclusives to IS then thats different, but they have their subs in photos.com powered by old IS files, and they have their premium stock at IS, so I'm not sure where StockXpert fits.
I hope you are wrong. There are a few of us who do not upload to IS. Our only link is a portfolio at StockXpert. I hope our images are good enough to sell. Drop StockXpert and those images are no longer available to Getty.
I'm curious as how the relationship between JIU and StockXpert works???
I think they will fill photoscom with rejected photos from exclusives. In their contract is that they can do with rejected photos what they want so they peace of pie will bee 100% and for authors 0%. Maybe thats the reason why exclusives cant sell their rejected images on other sites. From iStock POW the 20% commission is extremely ultra turbo noble fair in that case.
If it will not bee like that I dont see how they will do that. They are unable to fix their simple upload application half year, how they handlee more complex thing then???
I wonder if photos.com customers will be satisfied with old istock files? I don't think they are going to like the change, lots of great portfolios will be replaced by old images, how can that be good? Hopefully they will discover shutterstock or perhaps they will just use StockXpert subs?
True enough. To be honest I don't really understand why anyone would subscribe to Photos.com unless they were completely unaware of the mainstream micro's. Once those 3M StockXpert files disappear they'll be even less incentive.
It's a Walmart of stock photography. All these people care is low price. Photos rejected from IS might just good enough for them.


My favorite of the bunch was the Tamanohikari, smooth with a slight hint of tropical fruit, and the Dassai 50 was particularly notable because of its cloudy appearance and strong anise flavor. This is created by adding back some of the usually-filtered rice solids. All sakes were served chilled, which according to Simkin is the proper way to drink premium sakes. Because they are rich in aromatics, heating them up usually blows off those wonderful flavors and smells. It isn't wrong to serve sake warm, but it's not worth doing with one you've paid a lot of money for. And of course when you order sake at a Japanese restaurant in the states, they usually heat it up way too much killing all the flavor in the beverage. (Interestingly there are 14 different proper temperature points at which to serve sake.) I could spend a great deal of space here talking about sake itself, but there are websites out there that can give you this info.
Of all the cheeses, the Ibores, the Montgomery's Cheddar and the Stichelton were the most versatile (i.e. worked well with the greatest number of sakes). Constant Bliss fared the poorest, not because the cheese is bad (it's in fact quite good), but because its very strong aromatics from the raw cow's milk and the bloomy rind tend to compete with the strong aromatics of the sake. In general, though, I was quite pleasantly surprised by how well all of the cheeses paired with all of the sakes. It's right up there with white wine for me now, in terms of how well it can pair with cheese. The shochus, however, did not fare nearly as well. I think the much higher alcohol content of these drinks really got in the way and masked any nuances of flavor that were there. Shochu is a distilled liquor while Sake is a brewed beverage (like beer or wine), and I think the more subtle flavor of those latter beverages tend to work better in such pairings.
Artisanal is offering this class again this Thursday, 12/13, and if you're in the New York area I would highly recommend taking it. I should also say something about Artisanal's revamped class format. Not long after the company was purchased by American Home Food Products, they changed the class format to start with about 10-15 minutes of mingling time. During this time they serve champagne and sparkling water, a great cheese plate from their Celebration Box, a fondue made with their quick fondue blend, as well as warmed gougères (cheese puffs) which are just heavenly. After the class they served cheesecake, which, by that time, was a bit much considering how much food I'd already taken in, but it was still some VERY good cheesecake. All these products are available for purchase on the website, and I imagine that the purpose of the new class format is to showcase these products to an interested audience. Very smart marketing.

This beat juggling app offers a simple approach to the crazy fluid style of MLR on PCs. Loops can be loaded to fill up an 8 or 16 step grid, and then played around with as slices. This allows for some really great grooves that are much more fluid than simple step sequencing, as you can mash things up on a whim. Audio Paste is still not supported at this time, but is planned and should greatly increase the usefulness of this app. See a full review here.

Q: Simple Query with "OR" clause (Criteria API) I have this simple query:
ICriteria crit = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Article));

crit.CreateCriteria("Category", global::NHibernate.SqlCommand.JoinType.InnerJoin)
        .Add(Restrictions.Eq("Name", "Fun"));

This is returning all the articles in the "Fun" category. My question is, how can I add a simple OR clause to return also any article with "Title" = "New Joke" even if it is not on the "fun" category?
Seems i cant get this working...
Edit: I know I have to swith to LeftOuterJoin, the question is about the correct syntax  to build this query.
Edit2: To make this more clear, the sql query that i'm trying to build would be:
SELECT article.*
FROM article LEFT OUTER JOIN category ON (article.category = category.id)
WHERE category.name = 'fun' OR article.title = 'new joke'

A: You need to use an Or criteria like so:
crit.Add( Expression.Or(
    Expression.Eq("Category.Name", "Fun"),
    Expression.Eq("Title", "New Joke")
    ));

A: You can just use the normal C# OR operator:
Restrictions.Eq("Category.Name", "Fun") || Restrictions.Eq("Title", "New Joke")

Do you need to continuously monitor your industrial equipment / machine / system? Maybe you care about uptime. Maybe you're more focused on maintenance costs. Maybe something else entirely. Whatever the reason, if you haven't found an off-the-shelf solution that meets your needs, you'll want to consider this path.
We develop custom software for off-the-shelf hardware (namely the NI CompactRIO).
If you need help with your industrial online monitoring application, reach out here.
Viewpoint Systems helped us develop our in-house capability for both traditional and R&D condition monitoring. With us from the beginning, we had them architect the data collection application on a custom cRIO configuration. Then, as we took over development, Viewpoint was always ready to help us out when we discovered issues. While most of the project was handled by one Viewpoint Systems engineer, our team appreciated that several engineers were available as needed to move the project forward. I'm pleased with the overall results and look forward to working with them in the future.

Hi, I have a couple of CGI Web App: these Apps, compiled with Xojo 2017r3, work fine. The same Apps (without any changes) compiled with Xojo 2018r4, don't run anymore.
Error 500 Internal Server error.
What's wrong with Xojo 2018r4?
Xojo 2018 needs libunwind8, that's the main difference. Can you check if your server has that (if it is a Linux server)?

Thank Alberto. No, I can't check it, but if my app doesn't work, I suppose it has not. Now I try to find the right answer to your question.
Thank you: now at least I know what to search.
Feb 5 Marietta, Georgia, USA.
I suspect this is why none of my apps on ServerWarp are working rn. I've just submitted a trouble ticket.
@Phillip Z not sure if you can assist on this or make a recommendation for any next steps?
Not sure how libunwind8 req't would fit into my server plan?
@Amy B I suspect this is why none of my apps on ServerWarp are working rn. I've just submitted a trouble ticket.
All my 2017r3 apps that have been converted with 2018r4 work fine on ServerWarp. So I doubt libunwind8 is the problem.
@Nedi F Hi, I have a couple of CGI Web App: these Apps, compiled with Xojo 2017r3, work fine. The same Apps (without any changes) compiled with Xojo 2018r4, don't run anymore.
Did you make sure the 2017r3 app was not running when updating your files with the 2018r4 files? If it was running when you did that, you'll definitely get an Internal Server Error 500 when attempting to run the new app.
Alternatively, did you make sure you uploaded all the newly built 2018r4 files (like the Libs and Resource files), not just the executable?
@Alberto D;Poo Xojo 2018 needs libunwind8, that's the main difference. Can you check if your server has that (if it is a Linux server)?
I have opened a trouble ticket asking about this. I'll see what they have for an answer. Usually I get very good service so I'm not too worried.
@Ralph A Did you make sure the 2017r3 app was not running when updating your files with the 2018r4 files? If it was running when you did that, you'll definitely get an Internal Server Error 500 when attempting to run the new app.
These are CGI apps... I might have to re-delete the directories as try uploading again.
The main app had not been changed - it just... stopped working. So something server-side is what I suspect the issue to be.

That's the first thing I do with my web apps. I'll double-check my build while awaiting my ticket response.
@Amy B That's the first thing I do with my web apps. I'll double-check my build while awaiting my ticket response.
So you tried killing the app that's not working by renaming the CGI file? And then you renamed it back again about 10 seconds later to see if it will now restart when attempting to hit it with a browser?
@Ralph A So you tried killing the app that's not working by renaming the CGI file? And then you renamed it back again about 10 seconds later to see if it will now restart when attempting to hit it with a browser?
Nah. Deleted the files and waited a minute. Then re-uploaded it. Deleted the whole directory, in fact.
The whole directory was deleted. I've go to bed bc I've gotta be up in five hours at work. Blegh. So if y'all don't see further replies tonight, I'll be catching my z's.
The solution is to copy the libraries libunwind.so.8 and libunwind-x86_64.so.8 into the Libs folder: this way the CGI Webb Applications built with Xojo 2018r4 work fine.
(Antonio Rinaldi gave me the answer).
· Amy B and Ralph A like this.
Yes, and as I told to Nedi, you can use a simple copy step for Linux to add them at compile time.
In these cases, always look at the server log. You can get the right hint.
That's a great idea. This way you can solve this problem even when you don't have access to that part of your server, as in managed server situations.
I'll take a look Amy. One thing to note is deleting the directory does not actually kill the process.
@Phillip Z I'll take a look Amy. One thing to note is deleting the directory does not actually kill the process.
She could upload it to a new directory and make sure its App Identifier is different.
The best way to update the app is to create a special url that will quit the app.
Obviously to avoid unauthorised call is better to check for something (IE a file) that you can upload with the update and remove before quitting.

Background: All definitions of consanguinity encompass the basic concept of close blood relation. Highest rates of consanguineous unions are observed for North and Sub Saharan Africa, Middle East, and west, central and south Asia, where 20–50% marriages are consanguineous. In Pakistan, we can hardly find any rigorous research on the pregnancy outcomes of consanguinity except those conducted by Allan Bittles. This study was conducted with the objective to measure statistically if there existed any association of consanguinity with pregnancy outcomes in the form of stillbirths, abortion and Rh-incompatibility. Methods: This cross sectional analytical study was conducted at the Obstetrics department of Combined Military Hospital Quetta, Pakistan from 1st November 2017 to 28th February 2018. All pregnant women visiting Out Patient Department were included. Women unwilling to participate or needing emergency intervention were excluded. Sample size, i.e., 384 was calculated using online OpenEpi calculator and simple random sampling technique was applied. A structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to extract retrospective information. Descriptive statistics,95% Confidence Intervals, Chi-Square test and Contingency Coefficient were calculated using SPSS Version 20. Results were regarded significant at p<0.05. Results: Out of 384 study participants, 188 (48.9% with 95% CI:43.9–53.9%) were married to first cousins. Mean±SD age of the study participants was 27.5±4.8 years. Difference between stillbirth, and abortion among consanguineous unions and non-consanguineous unions was significant while that of Rh-incompatibility was non-significant. Conclusion: Large population based studies are needed before declaring consanguinity as a health problem in our setting.Keywords: Consanguinity; Stillbirth; Abortion
