We, the fans of Marvel Studios' Marvel Cinematic Universe, are nearing just a month left of waiting for the heroes to come together once again in Avengers: Infinity War. That being said, the last time all of them were really working together was in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Luckily, the eleventh installment in the MCU is the next to be reflected on here at Geek Motivation! Age of Ultron was written and directed by Joss Whedon who returns from the first Avengers film. This review will contain spoilers for the film, so make sure you've watched it before continuing on.
The film opens on a shot of Loki's scepter, a key weapon seen in The Avengers with immense power, especially the ability to control the minds of the heroes and their allies. Its significance is even greater in this film. Not only that, but it is in the hands of HYDRA, specifically Baron Wolfgang von Strucker (first appearing in Captain America: The Winter Soldier) at a base in an Eastern European country called Sokovia . Connecting these plot threads intensifies the conflict two fold, hence why no one hero can fLace it alone. Speaking of teamwork, the team is a full-fledged machine, working more cohesively than ever (as seen in the "splash-page"-type shot that follows)
Iron Man crashes into the forcefield and lets out a curse word, which prompts Cap to say "Language!" Thor smashes through enemies, as does the Hulk at simple request. Cap even lets Thor bring the hammer down on his shield, this time to eliminate enemies. Black Widow acts with grace, Hawkeye acts with extreme precision. Jarvis is even more involved (which foreshadows his importance to the plot), looking through satellites and assisting the team through their comms. The fluidity of the team is astounding and definitely reels audiences back in with new and promising action.
The two newcomers are "enhanced" Maximoff twins Pietro and Wanda, better known as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen respectively. They, like Strucker, were introduced in a mid-credits scene of The Winter Solider. They were human residents of Sokovia, experimented on by the power of the scepter. Pietro was charged with super speed and Wanda wielding mental and physical manipulation. They challenge the team when they infiltrate the facility and prove to be pesky for the rest of the film. Wanda, for example, manipulates Stark into seeing the Avengers die and the blame being on him for not doing enough. She sets the plot in motion for Tony to retrieve the scepter, but also utilize its power to create Ultron.
At the start of Tony's arc back in Iron Man, he sought to stop weapons from falling into the wrong hands by putting them solely in his by means of the suit. By now, he's gone on to create the Iron Legion and wants to take security to the next level with Ultron. When Jarvis analyzes the scepter, it is discovered that the "jewel" powering it has a mind of its own. Tony sees this as advantageous, his confidence in Jarvis bolstering his hope for Ultron. Looking at the cons, though, magic is a component of the scepter, too and is something that has been both unpredictable and troublesome for the Avengers.
Jarvis is a active when Ultron is successfully created and welcomes him, however Ultron's awareness is greater than Jarvis. He speaks less rigidly than Jarvis, almost like a human. He wonders why he doesn't have a body. He takes advantage of all the knowledge at his disposal via the internet to both understand and critique Tony Stark, the Avengers, and the world itself. He even questions Jarvis submitting to Tony's authority. I thought this was a great introduction to the villain and hits all the marks in achieving self-awareness.
Meanwhile, at the party for the capturing of the scepter/conquering of HYDRA, a slew of the characters of the MCU we've seen thus far have a presence. The primary characters of the story are hosting, the characters like War Machine and Falcon are guests, and Pepper, Jane, even Bucky are mentioned at the very least. Stan Lee's even and drinks some of Thor's god-like alcohol. It well-establishes the interconnectedness and progression of MCU thus far. It's no wonder the film slate in bloopers/outtakes read "AFTERPARTY".
The Avengers have an afterparty of their own, attempting to lift Thor's hammer, which Captain America is able to budge to Thor's dismay. They are interrupted by Ultron who says he's awoken and is not yet in the flesh, continuing to humanize himself. He presents the Avengers with an alternate, yet more destructive path to "peace" which includes their "extinction". Ultron and the now-reprogrammed Iron Legion attack the Avengers in an interesting fight scene in which the heroes must improvise with their casual setting. He escapes through the internet to Strucker's facility and an android escapes with the scepter, putting them back at square one.
Going from having fun to having problems, they reflect on what Tony's done. Tony responds by bringing up the threats they've faced. Steve says no matter what the outcome, which Tony believes is failure, they will always fight together. From the hammer to Cap's attitude, this chunk of the film begins the foreshadowing of the rest of the film and the MCU up to now. It goes to show just how important re-viewing these films is.
In Sokovia, the Maximoff twins find Ultron in his newest form. Ultron, to me, was awkwardly designed. Instead of having a mouth, there should have been just the voice, but I digress. Scarlet Witch was in shock seeing Ultron, as she didn't expect what would come from what she'd done. Regardless, they share a common enemy because Stark's weapons killed the rest of the Maximoff family.
Ultron's presence is made clear to the Avengers as they continue to track him down. They find he is making his way to Wakanda, the source of Vibranium, to upgrade his armor. This brings about the introduction of the location as well as thieving Ulysses Klaue, both attached to the Black Panther mythos that will reveal itself further in years to come for the MCU.
Ultron and twins find Klaue operating a shipment of Vibranium. Ultron says something reminiscent of Stark that strikes Klaue as familiar, but this observation costs him his arm: another set up that is paid off later in the MCU. It is here that the Avengers also confront Ultron and the twins in their first battle.
This is where the twins begin to shine. Although the MCU's Quicksilver is always going to be subpar to X-Men's, Scarlet Witch is able to throw many of the Avengers into hallucinations. Hawkeye is an exception having learned from Loki's mind control in The Avengers. Captain America is taken to the past where he is back with Peggy Carter, Black Widow is back in the Red Room (which is something we'll hopefully see more of in her solo film), and Thor encounters a blind Heimdall who tells him Thor leads Asgard to Hell. For those that have seen Thor: Ragnarok and have predictions similar to mine about Avengers: Infinity War, this could be a set up for what we may see pay off really soon. Banner is even thrown into rage and obviously turns into the Hulk. If he was having an hallucination, it would have been really cool to see.
The Hulk vs. Hulkbuster fight was something fans had been clamoring to see since the trailers were released. Veronica, better known as the Hulkbuster, is a precautionary machine that Stark and Banner collaborated on in case the Hulk went awry. First, the Hulk is trapped in a cage. If he escapes, Tony must use a suit, which is twice the size of the Hulk, in order to take him down. The amazing features of the suit are what drive the battle, including the ability for limbs to be replaced, limbs to act as finger traps for Hulk's fists, and gargantuan combat/flight repulsors to get a handle on and subdue the Hulk. With armor this versatile, it'll definitely be interesting to see if any upgrades have been made in Infinity War.
One of the least favorable parts of the film, in my opinion, is when the Avengers retreat to Barton's safehouse where they meet his family. Although it assists in Hawkeye's character arc in this film, grounding him with a family was just awkward in character and for the overall flow of the story. What complicates things even more is Romanoff and Banner's relationship. Romanoff is a strong, independent female lead and her background makes this apparent. Banner has always loved Betty Ross, and I hope that, if a solo Hulk film is ever made, this romance can be moved on from and Betty can return or Banner can be on his own. Thor departs from the Barton residence to embark on his own mission after the hallucination he experiences. He sees the Infinity Stones, making Thor the first of the Avengers to discover what they are. Stark and Rogers argue about what Stark did, Stark makes the point to end the war before it begins with Ultron while Rogers makes a point at there being a cost for doing just that. This disagreement hints at their conflicting ideals that will only grow into Civil War.
Ultron finds Dr. Helen Cho, who, at the beginning of the film, healed Hawkeye's wounds by replicating his own living tissue. By the power of the scepter, she is brainwashed into creating a body for Ultron. Key ingredients include Vibranium and even the Mind Gem itself. With life being granted to Ultron, this opens doors for turning points of the plot. Wanda Maximoff, by touching of the cradle holding the body is linked to Ultron's destructive vision. This causes the twins to put a halt to Ultron's plans and turn against him for the Avengers to succeed in stealing the body.
Upon splitting from the team to protect the nuclear codes from Ultron, Stark discovers Jarvis also escaped from Ultron the night of his conception. Once again, he thinks he can do right by uploading Jarvis into the synthetic body. He begins to do so, but Cap arrives with the twins to stop it. In Thor's attempt to get to the gem, he charges the fusion of Jarvis and the body, bringing Vision to life.
I must admit, this moment to me is a controversial one. Tony's insatiable need to do the unpredictable is too unrealistic in terms of character, even to be explained away as Wanda's spell. Without it, though, we wouldn't have Vision. His origin, despite being a chaotic departure from that of the comics, is still unique in the best way to this adaptation. Paul Bettany is granted a physical role in the MCU and is brought to life by Thor's "vision". Vision returns the favor taking after Thor's image. His wisdom is even enough for him to be worthy of the hammer. Overall, this is one of the most memorable moments in the MCU.
The stakes are high in the final battle, as Ultron intends to life and drop part of Sokovia like a meteor to end all life on earth. The action scenes here exceed the precedent that the previous set: utilizing teamwork with witty banter and abilities in the environment, only made more epic given the increased scale of both sides of the conflict. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Nick Fury and Maria Hill, who have been helping out throughout the film, come to their aid, saving citizens with Helicarriers. War Machine even joins in to take down some of Ultron's bots.
What stands out from the climax though isn't the action, but the themes that are brought to the surface by characters. Hawkeye says to Scarlet Witch: none of what they're going through makes any sense, but if you're in the fight, you're an Avenger. Even though Quicksilver isn't there (as if there was some twin telepathy), this resonates in his sacrifice for Hawkeye, who is bringing a lost boy to the helicarrier. This sends Wanda into a rage that destroys Ultron's main body. The last of the escaped drones is met by Vision who speaks to Ultron and says that there is grace in the failings of humans and beauty in what does not last.
Other plots threads include the Hulk leaving earth unexpectedly in the Quinjet (later paid off in Ragnarok), a new Avengers facility and team of Avengers (who come to fruition in Civil War), and, in a post-credits scene, Thanos wielding the gauntlet, ready to take care of the universe himself.
Overall, the Avengers: Age of Ultron, despite having a decent plot, is largely chaotic. After having seen the cinematic tapestry that is Captain America: Civil War brought to life by the Russo Brothers, this film gets even paler in comparison. Nonetheless, it's still a meaningful addition to the MCU and set course for the even greater things we've seen and are going to see. I'd give this film a C+/B-.

by contributing to initiatives that improve
the quality of life in these communities.
How we do this:
Our people
Extract from Media24 sustainable development
Transformation of the media industry
and the company is a strategic imperative
for Media24. Various initiatives are
employed to develop appropriate skills
and responsible procurement practices.
Media24 has made solid progress with its
transformation aims in recent years. These
are tracked against a scorecard under
the Department of Trade and Industry's
code of good practice for black economic
empowerment (BEE).
During the review period we retained a
level 3 status on our latest BEE scorecard
and increased our overall score
by 7,88 points to 80,55 – the highest
score we have ever achieved – with a
total procurement recognition of 137,5%
on BEE spend. Black ownership now
stands at 45,82%, well above the Print
and Digital Media Transformation Task
Team's (PDMTTT) recommendation, and we
scored full points for the elements ownership,
socio-economic development and
enterprise development.
Direct empowerment
Welkom Yizani
In 2006 Media24 launched the largest
broad-based black economic empowerment
(BBBEE) share offer in the print media
industry, Welkom Yizani. This enabled
eligible black people and groups to indirectly
acquire equity in Media24 Holdings.
The Welkom Yizani scheme's retention
period came to an end on 9 December
2013 and shareholders are able to trade
their shares to eligible black people through
an online trading platform. During the past
year the Registrar of Securities Services
(the "Registrar") indicated that all traditional
over-the-counter trading platforms like
Welkom Yizani should regularise their affairs
in terms of the Financial Markets Act, 2012.
Welkom Yizani has engaged and continues
to engage proactively with the Registrar in
this regard and will continue to build on the
positive engagement it has had with the
Registrar thus far. Welkom Yizani remains
committed to complying with any directives
and/or conditions issued by the Registrar.
Black economic empowerment partners
Media24 and other South African Naspers
group companies have combined
their buying power in South Africa in a
centralised procurement company called
CommerceZone, which implemented a
BEE procurement policy. Suppliers' BEE
performance is evaluated against specific
criteria and must be improved annually.
Media24 achieved 18,2 out of 20 points
for preferential procurement of goods and
services from all suppliers.
Employment equity
Media24 values diversity in its workforce.
The breakdown of the group's consolidated
annual employment equity status for fulltime
employees as at 31 March 2015 is
shown below:
Employee benefits
Work environment
Our work environment is designed to promote collaboration, with open-plan offices where possible. We encourage work/life balance by giving staff the option of flexible working hours, provided that operational requirements can accommodate this.
Retirement benefits
The group provides retirement benefits for
full-time employees, primarily as monthly
premiums to a number of defined contribution
pension and provident funds. The
assets of these funds are generally held in
separate trustee-administered funds.
Medical aid benefits
Medical aid membership is compulsory for
permanent employees in the group, with
the employer contributing to the monthly
premium as part of each employee's total
cost to company.
Post-retirement medical aid benefit
Some group companies provide postretirement
healthcare benefits. This entitlement
applies to employees appointed
before a certain date, remaining in service
until retirement age and completing a
minimum service period.
Long-service benefits
Media24 rewards long service by people
employed before a certain date with a
bonus at 10-, 15-, 25- and 40-year anniversaries.
In addition, a retirement gratuity
is paid to qualifying employees who retire
with at least 15 years' service.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when
a company decides to terminate an
individual's employment before the normal
retirement date or an employee accepts
voluntary redundancy in exchange for
those benefits. In all instances, terminations
are only concluded against a detailed
formal plan (with specified minimum
contents) after appropriate consultation
and once realistic alternatives have been
Equity compensation benefits
To retain the skills on which our sustainability
depends, the group grants share
options/share appreciation rights to
employees under a number of equity
compensation plans.
Employee relations
The group complies with labour legislation
in its operating areas. In South Africa,
Media24's statutory reports are submitted
to the relevant government departments.
Appropriate and representative
consultative forums protect the interests
of employees across the group
and have become a valuable input to
Training and development
Media24 invested some R40m in
the past financial year in developing
employees at various levels. Despite
tough trading conditions, we have
continued to increase our investment in
training year on year.
Skills development
The Media24 Academy's 2014 Graduate
Programme saw 13 students obtaining an
honours degree in journalism, one student
graduating in photography and four in
computer science. A further 10 completed
the Graduates in Media internship, eight of
whom were offered temporary or permanent
roles at Media24.
This year's Graduate Programme,
which commenced in February 2015,
accommodated 34 carefully selected
graduates who completed intensive inhouse
Apex Future Leaders is a two-year
executive management programme to

The programme is presented in partnership
with Duke Corporate Education for
the first year and UCT's Graduate School
of Business for the second year, and
combines academic training with practical
assignments and six-month stints in our
print and digital publishing divisions. Six
black candidates (five females and one
male) are currently being trained for fasttrack
promotion to senior management.
They will complete the programme in
March 2016.
Beneficiaries of the Media24
Academy's initiatives over the
past year included:
The Novus Academy focuses on developing
the printing skills, as well as leadership
and management skills needed to run a
successful printing business. The printing
qualifications offered by the academy
are not only accredited locally, but also
internationally by the City & Guilds of
London Institute. This academy has
implemented a sophisticated electronic
learning management system for employees
to complete training and be assessed
electronically. A core part of the training
offered by the academy is apprenticeships
in printing trades.
Health and safety
Extract from Media24 sustainable
development policy
The workplace
Implementing a healthy, safe workplace
at both administrative and production
facilities is a priority. Health and safety
committees ensure compliance with
applicable regulations, in line with local
legislation where required. Only trained
employees sit on these committees.
Regular occupational health and safety
risk control audits are conducted by operational
entities and improvements are
made as required. Significant matters are
reported to, and monitored by, Media24's
audit and risk committees.
Media24's distribution and printing
operations make extensive use of
contractors and organisers. Most of these
workers are from previously disadvantaged
communities and receive training in
performing their jobs safely and effectively.
The nature of the printing business,
which owns and manages printing
facilities, makes it the area in the Media24
group with the highest inherent risk for injuries
on duty. The Media24 safety, health
and environment committee (a committee
of the board) also monitors significant
related issues in the workplace.
Media24 monitors the buildings in which
it operates and conducts annual health,
safety and environmental compliance
audits, as well as building scans. Injuries
on duty are stringently monitored, and
the company aims to have no injuries
or deaths on duty. Novus Holdings has
stringent internal monitoring processes in
Several wellness programmes are
operated by the group in a preventative
approach to employee health, including
HIV/Aids testing. Regular eye and hearing
tests are performed on drivers and staff
exposed to noise. Professional and independent
psychological and social support
is provided for staff in businesses.
Media24 and Novus Holdings offer
wellness days, in partnership with a leading
health insurance company, at many of
their offices across South Africa. Health
services offered include hypertension and
blood sugar testing (diabetes), cholesterol
testing, HIV/Aids counselling and testing
and a number of risk control programmes.
Novus Holdings also has wellness centres
at certain printing facilities.
HIV/Aids and tuberculosis
Media24 is acutely aware of the HIV/Aids
and tuberculosis pandemic in Africa, and
the social and economics implications of
these illnesses. Voluntary testing, comprehensive
health management and medical
treatment programmes are available on
the medical aid scheme.
The group evaluates the direct impact of
its activities on the environment as part of
its risk management process.
Our initiatives around energy efficiency
and waste management are ongoing. The
current electricity crisis in the country has
impacted our carbon footprint, as well as
our cost base negatively. We have sufficient
generator capacity in the group, but
it is a costly source of electricity in terms
of maintenance and operation.
The most significant impact remains
the use of electricity (scope 2 emissions).
Printing operations are primarily based
in South Africa where the main source of
electricity is coal. These operations measure
their gross carbon footprint in scope
1 and 2 emissions in accordance with the
Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol),
the accepted international standard for
accounting and reporting on emissions.
The GHG Protocol was created in 2001
when the World Resources Institute and
World Business Council for Sustainable
Development identified a need for consistency
in how organisations accounted for
and reported on emissions.
Electricity accounts for 100% of scope
2 emissions (99% of total emissions) in our
operations. A continuous supply of quality
electricity is vital to the continuity of our
operations. To mitigate this risk, we installed
generators at key premises several
years ago to ensure a continuous supply
of electricity during power outages.
Media24 continued implementing
green initiatives to keep its carbon
footprint of 125 021 tonnes of CO2e in
check during the past year (2014: 135
752 tonnes of CO2e). The group measured
the direct emissions of 21 locations across
South Africa and will continue to focus on
refining the process of collecting complete
sets of data in the coming year. Printing
operations contribute 87% to the total
carbon emissions of the Media24 group.
The delivery fleet operated by On the
Dot was reduced to scope 1 emissions.
The results of the ongoing cost optimisation
throughout Media24 was evident in a
reduction of the electricity usage.
At Novus Holdings, the electrical
biomass boiler at Paarl Media Cape was
placed on standby for most of the year,
one of the presses was under maintenance
for over a month and the remaining
lights were converted to energy-saving
Media24's operations are diverse, ranging
from printing plants to ecommerce
platforms. Each type of business has a
unique impact on the environment and
requires different solutions to limit impact.
The group mainly produces newspapers,
magazines and books. It recycles all unsold
newspapers and magazines. Through
informative articles published in its
newspapers, magazines and on our digital
platforms, consumers are also educated
to effectively lower their impact on the
environment. Although Media24 recycles
all unused paper and unsold products, it is
in the group's commercial interest to use
paper efficiently, limit paper destined to be
recycled and minimise unsold products.
Printing facilities
In terms of its operating philosophy, Novus
Holdings runs high-quality processes with
the least environmental impact. The Novus
Holdings group is dedicated to creating
a cleaner and greener culture by raising
awareness of environmental issues, and
strives to implement the latest applicable
technologies across its business.
As a result, it enables Novus Holdings
to eliminate emissions and reduce its
carbon footprint in a variety of ways.
Novus Holdings is amongst the leading
South African companies in assessing,
recognising and mitigating the impact of
its print production processes on natural
resources. The group has proactively
implemented practices and policies to
minimise the effect on the environment
and has to date invested over R100m
in environmentally responsible practices
to reduce, reuse and recycle while still
delivering superior products.
Under the Paarl Media Group
name, Novus Holdings was the first
African printing organisation to receive
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) –
FSC-C022948 Chain of Custody (CoC)
certification. Novus Holdings also holds
a certification from the Programme for
Endorsement of Forest Certification
(PEFC) at Paarl Media Cape and Paarl
Media Paarl. Both FSC and PEFC are
independent verifications that the products
printed can be traced back from their

have several issues using DMM7510
My request is to write a generic DMM7510 driver for different count of DMMs (may be 3 pce up to 12 DMMs) connected via TSP-Link.
The Master is connected to a linux workstation via LAN.
1. issue: We will use the DMM in different setups.
How can I find out how many DMMs are connected via the TSP-link?
asking each node for "print(node[N].serialno)" creates ugly errormessages if a node is not connected.
2. issue: How can I start acal on each DMM in parallel?
e.g. if I do "acal.run()" on the first instrument, the command is not blocking and returns immediately.
e.g. if I do "status.standard.enable=status.standard.OPC; acal.run(); node[2].acal.run(); node[3].acal.run(); opc();"
then the acal is executed in serial. For 3 Instruments this consumes about 18 minutes. How can I get this in parallel execution, without runing tsp scripts in each instrument? Also I want to check the finished state using "*STB?", which is also a non-blocking command.
3. At the end of acal, a dialog pops up "Calibration step complete""Press Close".
This dialog never terminates, only manual interaction hit the button will close the dialog.
The dialog also pops up even if in the <System Event Log Menue><Log Settings> all options are set to "OFF".
How can I close this dialog using remote commands?
Please provide programming examples using tsp commands.
I appreciate it!

Re: DMM7510 ACAL; tsp.initialize
- When you call tsplink.initialize() to initialize the TSP-Link, this function returns the number of node in the TSP-Link network. I would recommend that you always number your nodes sequentially starting from 1 (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4 ..., n) so that node 1 through the number returned by tsplink.initalize() is always a valid node number. Don't number your nodes randomly (i.e. 5, 8, 12, 37, 14...) because there are no commands to tell you which node numbers actually have an instrument on them and therefore you will have to manually poll every node number to determine if there is an instrument attached or not.
- You will need to essentially run a script on each node. However, these will be extremely short scripts so it will be pretty easy to implement. You can use the "node[x].execute()" function to do this. Something like the following may do the trick.
NOTE: I have not tested this so I will not say this will work, but this should at least give you and idea of how to do what you are trying to do.
Code: Select all
for i=2,n,1 node[i].execute("acal.run() opc() waitcomplete()") end node[1].acal.run() opc() waitcomplete(0)
- Unfortunately there does not appear to be a command to clear that prompt.
Re: DMM7510 ACAL; tsp.initialize
Hi 3706User,

Obama was not the deciding factor in the Virginia campaign. However, he certainly was MUCH more than a non-factor. Concern about his policies overreaching permeated to a gubernatorial campaign and helped widen the size of McDonnell's win. It allowed the campaign to focus on issues that hadn't been working in recent years for Republican candidates. Concern about Obama's policies on spending, taxes, and jobs allowed McDonnell to thoroughly dominate those issues. The checks and balances message is a key one, but the bigger lesson about Obama's impact on Virginia is that his policies have put fiscal and economic messages back into play for Republicans.

Want To Know How To Quit Smoking? Keep Reading
You must have heard a thousand times how hard it is to give up smoking, but maybe this is more due to the fact that people just don't know how to do it. As with many things in life, the more educated you are about quitting, the more easily you will be able to accomplish it. This article is here to help you get rid of your smoking habit.
Let your family and friends in on the secret that you want to quit smoking. Sharing your plans with those around you may mean that you can depend on them to boost your motivation or distract you when cravings strike. This may give you more of a push to keep trying to quit.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you are experiencing trouble with giving up smoking. There are prescription medications, including certain antidepressants, that can make the process of quitting more tolerable. Your doctor will also put you in touch with support groups and other resources you can use.
There is a certain amount of weight gain that is often the result of stopping smoking, and eating fruits and vegetables instead of sweets is one way to help avoid this. This will boost your health by enjoying some healthy produce while stopping weight gain in it's tracks. Understand that you're going to have food cravings after you quit, and the best way to satiate those cravings is by creating a healthy frame of mind through healthy eating.
Nicotine Replacement
A good way to quit smoking is nicotine replacement therapy. Nicotine withdrawal causes several unpleasant mental symptoms, including restlessness, irritability, depression, and frustration. Additionally, the cravings can cause extreme discomfort during the day. You can help alleviate these feelings by using nicotine-replacement therapy. Such therapy can effectively double your chances of quitting. It is very dangerous to smoke while using these products; therefore, to protect yourself avoid smoking if you are using nicotine replacement therapies.
When you are considering quitting smoking, make an appointment to see your physician. Your physician may have resources available to help you quit that you do not have access to. Furthermore, if the doctor believes it to be in your best interest, they may prescribe medication that aids in your effort.
Stop smoking now, not only for yourself, but for any loved ones that you have. Secondhand smoke can negatively impact one's overall health, and tarnish their lungs. This will be devastating over the course of time, as you can expose toxic chemicals through secondhand smoke. Quitting will make both you and those you love healthier.
Having a positive attitude and plenty of motivation can directly affect how easy it is for you to stop smoking. Just think of the number of ways your life can be improved if you can kick the habit. Remind yourself of how much better your breath, clothes, and home will smell, and how much easier it will be to keep your teeth white. While the negative impact of smoking should never be ignored, the positive side to quitting is often an excellent bit of motivation.
As an added incentive to help you give up your smoking habit, think of your family and friends whose life would be turned upside-down if your life was shortened by this dangerous habit. Statistics prove that one in five deaths in America are related to smoking. I don't think you want to be on the losing end of those statistics.
When you quit smoking, remember that the first week will invariably be the hardest. The worst of your withdrawal symptoms will come during the first 48 hours and taper off as the week progresses. Once the nicotine is out of your system, you'll be craving emotionally instead of physically. This means you will have no physical trauma from resisting those cravings.
Instead of thinking of quitting smoking as a torture, see it as a gift to yourself. This positive frame of mind keeps your eyes on the prize and increases your chance of quitting successfully. Try to mentally picture how much better your life will be, in so many different dimensions, without cigarettes. Repeating these ideas to yourself will help you maintain your motivation and dedication.
By now, the importance of learning more about stopping smoking should be clear. You will find it easier to give up the cigarette habit now that you are empowered with helpful information. Use what you have learned in this article and you will soon be able to quit.

Analytical summary - Neglected tropical diseases
From AHO
O conteúdo em Portugês estará disponível em breve.
Neglected tropical diseases are, in the main, parasitic diseases that thrive in conditions of poverty and low environmental standards. These diseases impose a heavy burden on populations in the WHO African Region, not only because they are neglected, but also due to the high levels of disability and hence lost productivity they represent to already vulnerable communities. In addition, the chronic nature of neglected tropical diseases places a perpetual burden on weak and overstretched health systems.
Neglected tropical diseases account for 25% of all disability-adjusted life years attributable to infectious and parasitic diseases, and for 10% of mortality. While these diseases constitute a significant public health problem in the communities where they are endemic, their restriction to particular geographic areas and/or environmental conditions often prevents them from acquiring priority status at national level.
The most effective treatment for five commonly occurring neglected tropical diseases is mass-administered preventive chemotherapy over a number of years. Although the cost of such treatment is low, it is still beyond the reach of many governments and individuals, and coverage levels remain too low.
In addition to drugs and health education, other containment measures consist of environmental health improvements, particularly in respect of safe water supply and improved sanitation.
The neglected tropical diseases of most concern in African countries – many of which have received attention through World Health Assembly Resolutions – are Buruli ulcer, guinea-worm disease (dracunculiasis), human African trypanosomiasis, leishmaniasis, leprosy, lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis and trachoma (including blinding trachoma).
The role played by these and other neglected tropical diseases in perpetuating poverty and stigmatization in poor and vulnerable communities should provide strong impetus to WHO's Global Plan to Combat Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2008–2015.[1]

1 billion names are googled every day.
We all look at ourselves in the mirror from time to time, to see if everything is where it's supposed to be. Last night I googled my name, and I was once again reminded of how much work I have before Google begins to acknowledge me. You know, Google knows some people by name, right? It even asks if you want to know about their wife too, check below:
If you are one of those whose name is acknowledged by Google making it his duty to complete it after someone inputs the first three letters, you might have made it in life. I am not talking about serial killers.
You might be wondering what I was doing looking myself up as if I didn't know a LinkedIn head mugshot I uploaded months ago would be the best thing I will find. I am not narcissistic but I am a learner. I have been learning about branding in the 21st century.
We now live in the information age where the first impression means someone will search about you online. The instinctive reaction of anyone who meets you for the first time now is to Google your name. I do that. Businesses do that. Recently the United States "officially" announced they do that for their visa applications. It is not weird, it is self-care.
The world has two homes. Our physical bodies stay offline while our behaviour, social habits, aspirations and many other activities are now online residents.
Since online is the new village square where you find everyone every time, it is prudent that people are searching for people online. You will be surprised by how many times your name is googled in a month!
I was happy, my name didn't show up muddled in some 5-year-old rape case. You don't know how much it takes to explain yourself out of a similar name and surname scenario. There are people who are explaining themselves at every turn. I feel for them.
You do not want to be missing opportunities because people do not trust you based on what they have found online. Take time to learn about online ethics, etiquette and values that portray a better image about yourself.
Online hardly forgets, it always stores a record of everything somewhere. This, however, should not stop you from deleting whatever you feel does not portray you so well. Narrow yourself to defined online accounts, invest in building them until they are places you can quickly and safely refer someone to.
Have you ever googled yourself? Were you happy with what you found? Share with me your experience.

It is quite fascinating to follow the last few weeks' development around Instagram. First of all, the idea that Instagram supposedly attributed value to society, but perhaps most; the nonsense being created by users.
Instagram started 2010. By the end of day one, they had some 20,000 users, mostly young girls. Since then Instagram has served as a kind of firebox for what can only be labelled as an extremely successful player in social media.
That was the idea for a few years, as Instagram fine-combed the internet for on users. And they did well. All of a sudden, most everyone you know was on Instagram. More importantly, people liked Instagram, where they could easily publish pictures and small videos and share them with everything and everyone. Especially since everything was presented in the order it was posted. No algorithm! The only downside was Instagram not allowing users to post links in posts. But hey, we learned to live with that, too.
However, there was and still is a point to that non-existing possibility to link outside Instagram. Instagram doesn't want you to leave.
For a while, Instagram was almost a self-playing piano for those who had latched on early. Swedish photographer Christoffer Collin, known as @wisslaren on Instagram, is one of those happy few who can live the right life; getting paid to travel the globe taking amazing pictures and posting them on Insta. Why? Because his images generated likes and thus were exposed on Instagram's epicentre - the magnifying glass tab - after which they created more likes and, well, fertilised themselves so to say. Well deserved, I should add, as Collin is a very, very talented and consistent photographer. So it rolled. All this, while most users posted selfies and lunches and did not care about the Instagram business model.
However, behind the scenes, Instagram sure was.
So, a few years ago, in the fall of 2015, a few years after Facebook purchased the service, the opportunity to advertise on Instagram was released. After that, the chance to create a company account. Then, the ability to switch between up to five accounts in the app. Then, a warning that Instagram was to introduce an algorithm that would show "what was most interesting" for you. Then came the advertisements. Finally, a call to all content creators on Instagram to label sponsorships for what they were - sponsorships.
This was when people maybe should have started thinking. Perhaps on the idea that Instagram was better at "showing what is most interesting to you" than your actual you. I call bullshit, because there is no AI in the world that can decide better than me what I'm interested in.
Either way, people freaked out, and for a few weeks, Instagram filled up with posts from users asking their followers not to forget them by turning on announcements. So people did. After all, we tend to do as we are told. Then, nothing happened.
Then, like six months ago, the whispers came to everyone with a business account - I have one, @johnguthedphotography - that "this post does 95% better than recent posts, why not spend $ 15 on marketing it? ".
Do you see where this is going?
Now people are going crazy, talking about "instageddon" and "shadowbans" and whatnot, assuming that the service as we know it is over, effectively exposing that deeply human self-awareness (or lack thereof) that not everyone is super interested in what you have just published. Bullshit, that too.
However, you whisper to yourself, why did this happen? It's easy.
Instagram - and Facebook - wants to make money. Which is not unreasonable. However, what is unreasonable is people being upset that their flows are not theirs to manage any longer. Look at it like this - Instagram has just begun capitalising on seven years of investments, by categorising the user-generated accounts to make their content stand out between the sponsored posts. Or, let's put it this way, did you think Instagram was for you, and not the advertisers?
So what are we doing now?
What we always have done. We either put up with and adapt to the changes until the next firebox pops up and tricks us into their network, using the same model; Invest in users first, capitalise on them later.
I, for one, have moved focus to EyeEm, where I have far more followers than on Instagram, closer to 21.000 , all of which are into in photography. Not what I ate for lunch, or what "best friend" I ate it with. And I'm probably never going to see ads there. Which is nice.

Target announced it would provide $1.3 million in funding to the national hunger-relief organization Feeding America, to support a series of regional farming cooperatives, Business Insider reports. Feeding America, which oversees 60,000 food pantries and 200 food banks around the U.S., will use the funding from Target to both increase the amount of fresh fruit and vegetables available to people in need, and to decrease food waste across the national meal programs.
As the CEO of Feeding America, Diana Aviv stated in a company release:
"There are 42 million people in the U.S. who do not have access to enough nutritious food and are just trying to make ends meet. Our goal is to have fresh produce comprise half the food we distribute by 2025. In the past year, we have distributed more than a billion pounds of fruits and vegetables and with Target's commitment to support Regional Produce Cooperatives, we are moving closer toward that goal."
To that end, Feeding America helped start six regional produce cooperatives around the U.S.: Indiana, serving the Lower Midwest; Minnesota, serving the Upper Midwest; Georgia, serving the Southeast; Pennsylvania, serving the Mid-Atlantic; Washington, serving the Northwest; and Texas, serving the Southwest -- with two more on the horizon. Feeding American relies on network members to fight hunger on the ground.
The nationwide network is broken down into member-led, regional cooperatives on local levels, where each has a main facility that allows them to receive, store, and distribute large amounts of produce on a large scale. Food security is key in their mission, and with Target's donation, they will be able to provide for even more families at a lower cost.
Behind the scenes of stop number five on our little ice cream truck tour! We've had fun learning from @clefoodbank, @fooddepository, @stlfoodbank and @foodbankrockies this week. Thank you all for your amazing work and helping us raise awareness for kids facing hunger in the summer! Next stop? Las Vegas! Want to get involved? Visit the link in our profile to learn more about the #HungryToHelp Project.
The first of these cooperatives opened in Texas and has, to date, already shipped more than 14 million pounds of fresh produce to 21 food banks and local communities around the Lone Star State. The rest of the locations opened in 2017.
"Making better-for-you living accessible and attainable for communities across the country is important to Target and our guests," Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility Jennifer Silberman said in the release. "These cooperatives will help strengthen the neighborhoods where we do business, and give more families across the nation access to healthy food."
As if we didn't love Target enough already for their limited edition M&M'S releases and their new $5 wines, this is one more reason to count them as a favorite store.

When you come to visit, you will be offered tea in virtually every house you will stop in, as for Russians it is more than just a drink – it is tradition and a sign of hospitality. I suggest taking a brief excursion in the world of tea so you feel at home when you experience it.
There are different types of tea available: instant, bags, and bulk. Most Russians prefer the latter, as it has a more distinct taste and is usually of a much better quality than other kinds. Most people will tell you that tea made with bags is not the real tea, and you will easily be able to taste the difference. Most Russian people will not understand a taste of an iced tea; my mom and grandma drink it while it is practically boiling – something I've not been able to understand even though I grew up in Ukraine.
Process of making tea in Russia has many peculiarities. First, "zavarka" or tea concentrate is made, then some of it is poured in a cup, and hot water is added. Strength of zavarka is what makes the tea special. Zavarka is usually made in a small ceramic teapot, hot water can be boiled in a regular tea pot, or in a "samovar" – an iron pot, which was widely used in the old days. Traditional Russian samovar was heated with the help of coal or wood, and had a tap to pour hot water. Nowadays there are electric samovars available, although it is not the same as the authentic device.
Herbal tea is also popular with Russians. In the open air markets you can still see many old ladies selling herbs, which they have collected themselves. They will gladly tell you about all useful properties of herbs and you will be getting an ecologically pure product, guaranteed.
Very few people drink plain tea, usually something is added to it. Sugar and lemon are the most common items, but you can also find people adding milk or honey. Most people will also have jam, honey, candy, or pastries with tea. In the old days, it was common to pour tea in a saucer in order for it to cool faster, and drink the tea straight from it. Now you can only see older ladies do so.
Another interesting item in the tea culture is a glass holder or "podstakannik". It is an iron holder which has a handle; a glass is placed inside the holder. Now you will see such items only in the flea markets or on the trains. Such holders were very common in the older days, but now most people don't use them anymore. They were used to protect hands while holding a glass with boiling water, as well as providing stability to the glass (this is probably the reason it is still so popular on Russian trains).
Now that you know about the main habits of Russian people for drinking tea, you are prepared for participation in tea parties when you visit your Russian bride. You also know what your Russian lady will need when she comes to your country, so she could make tea. Who knows, perhaps after trying this drink, you will develop a taste for it and gladly join your Russian wife when she arranges tea parties at your home.

A birth means live as a unique new character on earth and on the other side death means just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back with a new character. We always labour against our own cure and the death is the cure of all the diseases.
After all every person in this whole world have to die. Women as compare to men commit suicide over the broken heart love affairs. There are more dead people in the world and their numbers are increasing day by day and the living is getting rarer. Dying is like coming to the end of a long novel or book that contains some happy movement and also some sad, challenging and funny movement. In some few seconds all the happy movement come to an end and nothing left. This Moment comes as a the dark shadow that no one wants that it comes in his life but one day every human have to go through this aspect of life because death doesn't bargain. Do not fears of Death just live happily in your way?
Sad life quotes

No matter how hardly we work on our happiness some things are always there in life that make us sad and unhappy. Sadness teaches us humbleness which is positive feature of life. No matter how much sad we are, the feeling of sadness is temporary and it will no longer remain in someone life. Just enjoy your life even when you feel sad because from every movement we experience and gain something good in our life.

Cavity within a cavity
I need to create a rectangular cavity 40mm x 60mm that is 5mm deep in 10mm thick material. (That much is easy.) Now within that cavity, I would like to have another smaller rectangular cavity 20mm x 30mm that is an additional 3mm deep and also has edge machining (rounded edge 1.5mm radius) applied to it. This brings up some questions. How do I specify the smaller cavity depth in Front Panel Designer? Is it with respect to the top surface of the panel (in which case it should be 8mm) or is it with respect to the bottom of the larger cavity (in which case it should be 3mm)? Also, how do I know that the machining on the edge of the smaller cavity will be applied to the edge that is 5mm deep within the first cavity? In other words, how do I make sure the larger cavity is cut first, then the smaller one, then the edging on the smaller one? This same question applies to a similar situation with a through hole inside a cavity. Can I specify edge machining on a through hole sitting inside a cavity?
Posted By: Vern_K on Oct 16, 2013 04:37AM Category: Front Panel Designer
This is a good point.
The depth of a cavity is always related to the top surface. In your case, the second cavity has to be 8mm deep.
The edge on the second (lower) cavity can't be selected in FPD. We would mill air since the material is already removed by the larger cavity on top. However, we can make modifications in the milling program an lower the cutter. Please leave us a note in the production remarks and we will machine the edge of the lower cavity to your specifications.
Best regards,

RUTH BROWN called it "a survivor's club" -- 50 great artists gathered at Radio City Music Hall on Feb. 7, 2003, for a once-in-a-lifetime "Salute to the Blues," a genre that had itself survived a full century since W.C. Handy found himself stranded at a train station in Tutwiler, Miss., mesmerized by the mournful strains of a musician playing his guitar with a knife and singing about a local spot where two railroads crossed. Handy, a trained musician and composer, called it "the weirdest music I'd ever heard," and while he didn't actually "father" the blues (he wasn't even the first to publish music in the blues form), he did transform the music of rural Southern blacks into a dominant force in American music.
That story, that evolution, that on-going presence is celebrated in "Lightning in a Bottle," a concert documentary produced by Martin Scorsese (who produced the seven-part "The Blues" for PBS in 2003, the congressionally designated Year of the Blues) and directed by Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day," "King Arthur"). It's a vibrant celebration dominated by the performances of living legends (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Odetta), singers whose blues roots were framed as rhythm and blues (Ruth Brown, Mavis Staples, Solomon Burke, the Neville Brothers), disciplined descendants (Keb' Mo', Robert Cray, Bonnie Raitt, as well as Steven Tyler and Joe Perry embodying Slim Harpo's "I'm a King Bee") and protest progeny like Chuck D and the Fine Arts Militia, whose raucous recasting of John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" as an antiwar anthem exemplifies the music's ongoing malleability.
Pianist Dr. John, part of a first-rate house band that includes Keb' Mo', Levon Helm and the event's musical director, Steve Jordan, marvels at one point: "Looks like y'all hired the phone book . . . just looked up 'Blues' in the Yellow Pages."
The music's history (and social context) is told through a loosely structured, necessarily condensed chronology that mostly uses concert footage augmented by interviews, rehearsals, backstage encounters and archival film of such pioneers as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Son House and Hooker, exuding astonishing power and charisma even in grainy black-and-white. It's a narrative of roots and branches, tracing a journey that begins in Africa with Angelique Kidjo's "Zelie," a traditional Togo chant, comes to ground in the Deep South's Delta and spins off to Texas and the urban (and electric) energies of Memphis and Chicago.
Rural roots are exemplified by 89-year-old David "Honeyboy" Edwards, who played his raw, rough-hewn "Gamblin' Man" for the legendary Robert Johnson in the late '20s; Keb' Mo' essays Johnson's "Love in Vain" while Staples brings an eerie moan to Blind Lemon Jefferson's "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean" and the stately Odetta protests the "Jim Crow Blues." The sociopolitical aspect of the blues is reinforced by India.Arie's plaintive reading of the Billie Holiday classic "Strange Fruit," underscored by stark projections of Southern lynchings, as well as Chuck D's frenetic anti-war update on Hooker's "Boom Boom."
Love, in vain or otherwise, provides another rich, occasionally ribald subtext, from Rosetta Howard's 1939's observation (voiced by Brown, Staples and Natalie Cole) that "Men Are Like Street Cars" ("you miss one, you get another one right away") and Shemekia Copeland's passionate declarations on Bobby Bland's "I Pity the Fool," to a double-barreled plaint consisting of Brown's breakthrough 1954 hit, "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean" and oddball Macy Gray's funk 'n' roll take on Big Mama Thornton's "Hound Dog."
Naturally, the guitar virtuosos are well represented, from the Texas swing of Gatemouth Brown's "Okie Dokie Stomp" and B.B. King's single-note guitar riffs on "Sweet Sixteen" (both hits for these men more than a half-century ago) to Buddy Guy, who serves as a link between the gone-electric past (covering Muddy Waters's "I Can't Be Satisfied") and the futurism of Jimi Hendrix, seen in archival footage being wowed by Guy's furious fretwork and frenetic showmanship. Guy delivers an emotional reading of Hendrix's classic blues "Red House" and returns for an apparently unplanned performance with Kidjo and guitarist Vernon Reid on the roiling "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)."
There are other standouts: Natalie Cole's passionate adaptation of Handy's "St. Louis Blues;" jazz guitarist James "Blood" Ulmer's eerie version of the Mississippi Sheiks' "Sittin' on Top of the World" with a little help from fiddler Alison Krauss; and a double dose of soul from Solomon Burke, whose rousing gospel blues take on "Down in the Valley" suggests why even the KKK once hired him in the '60s to entertain at a picnic, a story delightfully retold here.
Though the filmmakers didn't quite succeed in "[trying] to make this place smaller" -- Radio City Music Hall could never be a Delta roadhouse or Chicago club -- cinematographer Lisa Rinzler beautifully frames the performances, capturing a night of brilliant blues that's equal parts celebration of a glorious past and confirmation of contemporary connections.

New drugs and substances are required to be tested for quality, safety and efficacy before market authorization. Due to the lack of equivalent alternative methods, animal experiments are an important standard instrument in drug research. Due to species-specific differences; however, animal experiments are not always suitable for the authorization of new substances or the adaptation of new therapies to humans.
Therefore, Fraunhofer IGB has been increasingly engaged in the development of alternative human test systems that mimic the complex characteristics of the body. These test systems are based on in vitro cultured human primary cells, cell lines, induced-pluripotent stem cells or adult stem cells. In order to ensure cell functionality in vitro, culture conditions are created that are similar to the natural microenvironment of the cell in the body. For specific applications, co-cultures with other cell types and custom-designed carrier substrates must be employed.
The Department of Cell and Tissue Engineering is specialized in constructing human three-dimensional (3D) tissues. The 3D nature of the scaffolds considerably affect parameters such as metabolic activity, viability, division, morphology and differentiation status and thus, ultimately, the function of the tissue as a test model.

Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
Man cannot be defined solely and simply according to his physical and temporal qualities simply because they are visible, but particularly and especially according to his origin, his purpose and his destiny. He is not merely a being of flesh and blood, but of spirit, intellect and will as well. In this sense, we learn from our readings today the following:
1. God opens man's ears (1st reading) so that man may listen to Him, and man is also given the gift of speech that in gratitude he may proclaim the greatness of his creator. Deviation from this purpose and plan of God is abuse and rebellion against Him, the Creator.
2. Man is a created being who suffers, not to be defeated and die, but to mold his personality in fortitude and patience, and so be strong despite his weakness and conquer evil with the strength of Christ, who suffered and died for the salvation to all. Thus, suffering does not have to be a lonely and cruel consequence of man's actions, but a human experience with others who are also suffering in many different ways and an experience with the whole Church whose head is Christ Himself who suffered and died to give life to all.
3. At all times God is the help of man in whom God always manifests His presence. God is man's rock of salvation and light in darkness. God is the Shepherd who leads man, the sheep, to green pastures and heals man's wounds that this world inflicts. God is man's hope, for without hope man sinks into depression amid the world's harsh and cruel situations.
The person and the Christian in man cannot walk different ways, and when it does, as many times it does, it causes problems in life. That is why in society we have the greedy (people) who simply satisfy themselves without regard for others. We have people who rob and kill to eliminate those who inconvenience them and who believe they have the right to have what they impulsively like. We have the proud and the arrogant who think they are better than others, and belittle them. We have those who do not respect the life and property of others, especially of the weak and the voiceless, people who hoard wealth without regard if what they do is moral or not, people who hide the truth to avoid reproach and for the sake of convenience. We have couples who cheat on each other for the sake of pleasure and adventure. We have people who drown themselves in prohibited substances and alcohol to run away from responsibilities and problems. We have businessmen who care only about steep profits and fancy properties, but care less about the importance of relationships and the family. And there are those who care less about the dignity of work, and so become a problem to society, and live indolently with disposables, including morality and the reality of God's presence.
In Jesus we see man in perfection. He carried out His mission by constantly listening to God, by making His suffering the way of salvation for all, by making His presence the sign of God's infinite love for all. In the face of death, Jesus continued to trust in God who assisted Him in the time of trial and made Him rise from the dead. In His teachings He always proclaimed the truth even if He had to face torture and death. In Jesus we see a consistency of His faith and His deeds.
We are called not only to be consistent, and God knows that we always fail and fall, but most especially to be faithful to Jesus, who was made perfect through suffering and who does not fail to assist anyone who approaches Him in his need. God's call to fidelity is our way to holiness.
We listen to Jesus in Holy Scriptures and in the celebration of the Sacraments especially the Sacrament of Reconciliation for we seek God's mercy and healing, and the Sacrament of the Eucharist, because His Word is His work for our joy and for our salvation. We find Jesus in our families and in the Church, for He is the manifestation of the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, as well as the reason and vision for the life of the Church and our community. We find Jesus in our respect for life, in our search for truth and in our expressions of love, for He is life, he is the truth and our way to the Father. We make alive the presence of Jesus in our responsibilities and in our relationships, for He is the reason for who we are and what we do. With Peter we proclaim, "You are the Christ."
Let us be faithful to our families and conscientious of our responsibilities, and the Lord will be our ever faithful Companion. Let every action of ours be an expression of our faith and hope in Him for He is the Christ.
